Seeing that Shirokawa Shu was so famous and glorious that even the Ryufeng family was shocked by his fame, Shirakawa felt indescribable pride and radiant.

At that moment, someone led Bai Chuan and led her into the Blue City.

Entering the Blue City, Shirakawa's eyes widened in surprise, the streets in front of him were full of traffic, pedestrians were dense like smoke and rain, and commerce was bustling, this was not at all the pattern of a border city, just looking at the population, it was not inferior to the heyday of dìdū.

Bai Chuan exclaimed: "The Blue City is so prosperous, we really didn't expect it!"

The accompanying officer smiled: "Your Excellency has won the award." In fact, we still owe the blessing of your country, and many people fled from your country after the invasion of the demons. ”

Shirakawa suddenly realized. The times are uneasy, Yuanjing is in turmoil, dìdū is fighting, the shadow of the demon army is rapidly approaching yīn envelops the entire continent, the army of Hei Sè covers the vast area east of the Vanie River, and the legendary nightmare is approaching.

Flowing Wind and Frost is a famous general of human beings, believing that her prestige can stop the demons, and the blue city, which was originally a border military fortress, has become the safest place, and millions of fleeing people have poured into this originally insignificant border city with huge funds and materials, creating a deformed prosperity of the city.

At the gate of the Governor's Mansion in Blue City, a young officer greeted Shirakawa at the door. The officer was tall, cheerful, and very handsome, and Shirakawa couldn't help but look at him twice.

Seeing Shirakawa's heroic beauty, the officer's eyes lit up, and he introduced himself: "Your guests are very welcome to come from afar. Xia Guan is the head of the Jǐng Guard Regiment of His Royal Highness the Marshal, and concurrently serves as the commander of the middle battalion, Ying Mulan. In the past, Xia Guan and Lord Zichuan Xiu had a one-sided relationship, and he received his grace of not killing, and he has not been able to repay it. ”

Shirakawa returned the salute and said, "General Hideki, you are too polite. Hidekawa-sama also mentioned your Excellency to us. In the Battle of the Lancang River, although your Excellency was in a disadvantageous position, but still fought until the end, your Excellency admired your Excellency very much, and he often said that our generation of soldiers should take Your Excellency as a model. ”

Hearing Zichuan Xiu's praise, Ying Mulan showed sincere joy, and he said with a smile: "Lord Xiuchuan has such a high reputation, the subordinate really doesn't dare to be an official! If you talk about military models, I think Master Xiuchuan is truly deserved!"

The two of them were humble for a while, and then Bai Chuan stepped into the topic: "May I ask His Highness Liufeng Shuang if His Royal Highness wants to see her." ”

"The marshal is not in the palace. Seeing Bai Chuan's disappointment, Ying Mulan smiled, "But we have sent someone to inform us." Your Excellency Shirakawa has worked hard all the way, so please rest in the house for one night. ”

In the evening of the same day, in the Governor's Palace, Ying Mulan hosted a banquet to entertain Bai Chuan, and many generals under the command of the Wind and Frost attended the banquet, including Major General Mona, the commander of the former battalion of the Crusaders, Vice Admiral Eugene, commander of the naval fleet, Lieutenant General Xiao Yuan, commander of the 28th National Defense Army, Lieutenant General Fei Jia, commander of the 27th National Defense Army, and Major General Zeng Ning, commander of the Blue City Garrison.

The major general of the Liufeng family is equivalent to the flag book of the Zichuan family, and the lieutenant general is equivalent to the red-clothed flag book of the Zichuan family. These people are all the famous generals Jīng Ying, the generals and wise generals under the command of the wind and frost gathered together, and the stars were shining, and their reputation was often heard even by Bai Chuan, who was located in the Far East all the year round.

When Ying Mulan led her to introduce her one by one, she said without stopping: "Look up for a long time, disrespectful and disrespectful......"

In order to welcome himself, the Liufeng family actually dispatched so many heavyweight generals with real power to accompany him, and Bai Chuan was flattered.

Before the feast, Ying Mulan made a toast: "The enemy of yesterday is our friend today." Today, we welcome General Shirakawa from the Far East, and she brings us greetings from the Commander of the Far East, Hide--I believe that none of you here will be unfamiliar with Shōkawa-sama, right?"

There was a burst of friendly laughter at the banquet, and someone laughed and said, "How can I forget? When I came back from the Lancang River, my butt still hurts!"

"In the past, there has always been a fratricidal wall between Liufeng and Zichuan, which is really sad. But no one can erase this fact, we are human beings of the same race and origin, and we are all descendants of the great Bright Dynasty! In the face of the invading enemy and defending human civilization, we stand on the same front with the Zichuan family! With this cup, I would like to pay tribute to the Far East, Os, and Dìdū, and to the soldiers of the Zichuan family who fought bloodily on all fronts in the vast territory! I wish you victory, and I wish you an early expulsion of the enemy from the country! Cheers to the victory of mankind!"

"Cheers!" the generals raised their glasses to Shirakawa, and one by one stepped forward to clink glasses with Shirakawa.

Whether it is a middle-aged gentleman with gray hair and dignified demeanor, or a young man with a radiant spirit, Shirakawa always feels that there is a flying male spirit in the group of generals under the command of Liu Fengshuang.

They are confident and dashing in their actions and deeds, which is a unique trait of the Victorious Army, and they have won countless victories over the past ten years, which has cultivated their dignity and demeanor.

"Your Excellency Shirakawa, you have come from the Far East, and you have brought us any new news?" asked Lieutenant General Xiao Yuan, commander of the 28th National Defense Army, the oldest among those present.

All the generals stopped the utensils in their hands and looked at them with shining eyes.

Only then did Bai Chuan realize that he was completely self-inflicted, it turned out that they were not coming for themselves, they were coming for the latest war situation.

The continuous war has cut off the transportation between the eastern theater and the northwest, and it is difficult to get first-hand information from the front line, and people like Shirakawa who have experienced the three main battlefields of the Far East Battlefield, the Southeast Oss Battlefield, and the Dìdū Battlefield are very precious, and she is the most authoritative spokesperson about the Demon War.

Bai Chuan pondered the words and replied cautiously: "At present, all units of our army are fighting bravely, but unfortunately, the demon clan still holds the strategic initiative, and in order to reverse the situation, we still need to go through a hard battle. ”

Xiao Yuan frowned: "Could it be that the great victory that was just played in Dìdū didn't help the situation of your army at all?"

"General Di Lin inflicted heavy losses on the demon army under Dìdū City, annihilated a large number of demon living forces, and greatly improved the situation in the Dìdū war zone. But the strategic advantage of the demon clan is global, and it will not be shaken by the victory or defeat of one or two battles. Our army's biggest concern at the moment is that our main armies, such as Lord Stirling's Southeast Army, Lord Shikawa Shu's Far East Army, and Lord Dilin's Dìdū Army, are all separated and isolated by the Demon Army, and they cannot coordinate with each other. On the contrary, the Demon Army has the initiative to maneuver, they control the transportation convenience of the main arteries, whether it is the Far Eastern Theater or the Dìdū Theater, no matter where there is a crisis, the Demon Race can transfer the support of the new army from other theaters. What's even more terrifying is that the demons can even concentrate their main forces in a certain area in order to seek to destroy one of our army's main legions. ”

In a war, troop strength is not the only factor that determines victory or defeat, and an attacker with a small number of people can use high-speed maneuvering to concentrate more superior forces than the enemy in a local battlefield to win.

All of you here are experienced professional soldiers, and there is no need to explain in detail, so the generals nodded their heads one after another to show that they understood what Shirakawa meant.

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "As far as I know, at present, the Demon Clan has deployed two legions in the Far East to deal with the Zichuan Xiu Legion, and two legions in the southeast to drag Sterling, while in Dìdū, they have concentrated the strength of seven legions, as His Excellency Shirakawa said, they want to do their best to destroy the Dìdū Military Region and open the road to the west. ”

Ying Mulan interjected: "Lord Dilin burned the demon clan to the ground with heavy losses, and the demon clan had to increase troops from other war zones to support the front line, I think, at this time, Lord Zichuan Xiu and Lord Sterling can make a difference!"

The atmosphere at the scene became warm, and the generals eagerly discussed where the Demon God Emperor's next main attack direction should be directed, and how Zichuan Xiu, Di Lin, Sterling and others should respond, and Shirakawa listened silently on the side.

It's a very ironic thing. People who have not been hurt by the pain of the skin can often use war as a good talking point and discuss it happily. But for those who are most qualified to talk about it, those soldiers who fought against the demons on the front line, war is a very heavy topic, and they are more willing to talk about their families, about the girls they love, about the dogs they have at home, about the rivers in their hometowns, about everything, but not about the battle - who wants to talk about their own death and blood?

Although no one said it explicitly, there was a hazy consensus at the banquet, and everyone tacitly felt that a war with the demons was inevitable and imminent.

Someone asked Shirakawa for advice, what weapon is more advantageous to deal with the demons? Is it a sword for hand-to-hand combat, or a cavalry spear, or a long-range bow and arrow crossbow?

Bai Chuan thought for a moment and replied: "The demon soldiers are very agile and brave and good at fighting, and it is difficult for human soldiers to gain an advantage in individual combat. I have the impression that several great victories against the demons were achieved by relying on the powerful impact of the cavalry. To deal with demon soldiers, there is no advantage in hand-to-hand combat, and it is best to engage in a neat formation, and to fight unorganized in an organized battle. In addition, although the demons also have archers, their bow and arrow weapons are relatively rudimentary, and they are far from being comparable to human ones in terms of both shè and lethality. When it comes to long-range weapons, humans have the upper hand. ”

Major General Ying Mulan said thoughtfully: "In this way, the strongbow troops of the Heqiu Lin Clan are the natural nemesis of the demon clan. ”

Major General Mona said unceremoniously: "The old turtles in the river hill are timid and cowardly, and it will be difficult for them to participate in the war!"

There was a burst of light laughter. Heqiu secretly plotted to flow once this year, and almost handed her over to the Zichuan family. Now when it comes to the river hills, of course, the subordinates who are in the wind and frost will not have anything good to say.

"Heqiu has been more diligent these days, and Lin Rui and Lin Xian have been coming to pay homage to the marshal for three days. ”

"Those soft-footed shrimp are also afraid of the demons, but they don't dare to fight, of course they want to curry favor with our marshal!"

"A group of villains who see the wind and rudder the rudder, believe their words, and they may be stabbed from behind at any time. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope Lin Rui can come a few more times. Ying Mulan said seriously.

"Why is that?"

Ying Mulan smiled ambiguously: "In that case, we can often have raw seafood to eat." ”

Major General Mona added quietly, "And lobsters." ”

There was silence for three seconds, and then a burst of laughter erupted in the room. Bai Chuan didn't know what he meant, and Ying Mulan explained to her with a smile.

In June of 784, if the city of Dìdū along the Vanne River was the forefront of the struggle between humans and demons, the military town of Blue City in the Northwest Plain was the focus of the political struggle. Although in the just-concluded Lancang River War, she was defeated by Zichuan Xiu, the new general of the Zichuan family, but this did not damage her prestige.

At this time, Liufengsen was pinned down by the rebels of Liufeng Qing and Liufengming, Heqiu was militarily weak and powerless, and among the many forces on the mainland, she was the only one who had the strength to influence the overall situation. At this time, the wind and frost can be called the most tricky and hot character in the mainland. The entire continent watched her, speculating on her next move.

Messengers, lobbyists, and spies from Heqiu, Danya, Dìdū, and Yuanjing gathered in the Blue City, and suspicious characters in the shape of sèsè shuttled non-stop, and even the demons were fighting for the wind and frost, and they rarely wrote a crepe, saying: "This war is completely a personal grudge between us and the Zichuan family, please don't interfere with Your Highness the Wind and Frost." ”

In order to please the wind and frost, the gifts sent from all over the country are piled up, rare jewelry, cultural relics, diamonds, food, fashion, clothing, cosmetics, perfumes, rare treasures are piled up in the private warehouses of the wind and frost, and even the river hill also sends special people to send fresh fruits and seafood from all over the country every day, after thousands of kilometers of trekking, the eels sent are still alive!

In the inland Blue City, fresh conger eels can be eaten, and Shirakawa laments that the river hills really go out of their way to curry favor with the wind and frost.

She was terrified. She roughly guessed the intention of Zichuan Xiu to send her to see the wind and frost. However, he is just a red-clothed flag book, and he is not eloquent, so is it too child's play to let himself be convinced?

The welcome banquet ended at eleven o'clock in the evening, and the officers politely said goodbye to Shirakawa, and several handsome young officers reluctantly admired Shirakawa's beauty, saying that "you represent the Zichuan family, and I represent the Liufeng family, we might as well have an exchange of spirit and flesh to deepen the friendship between the two countries!"

In front of this group of pretentious young heroes, Bai Chuan couldn't cry or laugh. Fortunately, General Ying Mulan was empathetic and took a stick to beat away the group of estrus wolves, which also saved Bai Chuan's embarrassment.

Resting in the Governor's Palace, tired from the journey, Shirakawa soon fell asleep.
