As for Ling Huming, who came in alone, he looked at his own son, looked at the face in front of him that looked like him, and couldn't help but be really excited, and said in a trembling voice, "Linghu - General, the imperial capital has been farewell, it has been a few months, and I am really comforted to hear the bloody battle of the general's red moon and raise the prestige of our army."

Ling Hu Jue heard his concern for himself from Ling Hu Ming's voice, and he was a little moved in his heart, but this kind of emotion is no longer important to him now, and he is not in the mood to study the relationship between him and Ling Hu Ming anymore, now, he just wants to cherish the people around him. So after bowing and saluting, Ling Hujue's mood had calmed down, and according to the etiquette he had learned when he was studying at the Imperial Capital Academy, he said calmly, "The marshal has won the award, as a soldier of the empire, it is our duty to fight bravely." The last general will not dare to take credit. β
"Well said, General Linghu, the entire empire will be proud of you. Ling Hu Ming patted Ling Hu Jue's shoulders and looked at Ling Hu Jue carefully, the brilliance of his eyes was soft and kind, not a little sharp, but a little loving.
Ling Hu Jue felt that the hands on his shoulders were trembling slightly, and his heartstrings moved. Looking at it intently, he intuitively appeared, making Hu Ming look a little older than when he was in the imperial capital, his handsome face was already wrinkled, and his complexion was not as fair as before. Linghu Jue's heart was a little gloomy and a little sad, he understood how much pressure this war had brought to the patriarch of the Linghu family. With a slight gasp, Ling Hu Jue asked, "Marshal, where is General Ola? Why don't you see him? Didn't he call me?"
Looking at Ling Hu Jue with loving eyes, Ling Hu Ming's heart has not yet been completely separated from the relationship between father and son, since he learned that Ling Hu Jue and Yu Wenji had a fight, he understood that the temple had not forgotten the past because of the loss of time, and also knew that the exhibition of things would push him to a special scale, the interests of the family, the life of his son, these two chips will wait for him to choose again.
Thinking of this, Ling Hu Ming sighed, but decades of cultivation and the city government made his mood calm down quickly, and poured his spirit into the problem in front of him, put down his hands, and said slowly, "General Linghu, it was actually Ben Shuai's idea to call you so late, and now that things have come to this point, I think there are many things that should be known to you." β
Ling Hu Ming said so gently and politely, but it made Ling Hu a little embarrassed. He thought to himself, "No wonder General Aura summoned me from Red Moon City in such a hurry, it turned out to be Marshal Linghu's order, it seems that this trip to Crowe is not as simple as I estimated before." β
Leaning back on the back of the circle chair, Ling Hu Ming began his conversation in a slow and slow voice, "General Ling Hu, before I tell you the point, I would like to ask you, what do you think of this war?"
Slightly lowered his head to ponder, Ling Hu did not answer immediately, he was guessing the purpose of Marshal Ling Hu asking him this, and Ling Hu Ming did not ask, his eyebrows were lowered, his expression was incomparably deep and incomparably capable. Although the air in the secret room was fresh, at this moment, it seemed to be frozen, and faintly, there was a suffocation that pressed on people's hearts......
After thinking about it again, Ling Hu bowed down and completely expressed his doubts in the past month, "Don't hide it from the marshal, the last general does have a few thoughts about this war, but the matter is serious, and the last general is humble and light, so he has never dared to say more." Since the marshal asked, the last general had the courage to say a few words, and in the eyes of the last general, this war was not so simple as it seemed. β
"Oh?" Ling Hu Ming was a little stunned and slightly suffocated, looked at Ling Hu Jue in surprise, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Go on, why is it not easy?"
Ling Fox's eyes shone with a strange brilliance, and he said calmly, "There are three reasons: First, since the Kotru Empire has captured the city of Crowe last time, if General Eisen is their inner line, then the Pami Plain has already fallen into their hands, so why bother. Second, even if General Eisen had bought it after the last defeat, then the Kotru Empire would never have used this important chess piece so hastily, they could have waited for a better opportunity and then won the entire Pami Plain in one fell swoop. Third, even if the Kotru Empire did not have the patience to wait, after they occupied the fortress, they should go straight to the city of Crowe in order to fight the battle, and they would definitely not only assume an offensive posture, but actually adopt a defensive strategy. Combined with the above points, the last general thought that there must be something else in this war. β
After listening to Ling Hujue's concise explanation, Ling Huming was deeply shocked, he didn't expect, really didn't expect Linghu Jue to have such a careful mind, a cool head, and unique insights. It is the instinct of human nature, and it is also the normal reaction to Wangzi Jackie Chan, so that Linghu Ming's resolute face is full of relief and joy, the muscles of his lips and mouth are constantly twitching, and he said excitedly, "Absolutely--" Before the words came out of his lips, he felt that he had lost his mouth, and swallowed the words that followed him stiffly, and quickly covered up, "Absoluteββββββly, General Linghu is really absolute, your estimate is not wrong at all, this war does have another internal story." β
Ling Huming stood up cautiously, and continued in a stern voice, "According to the exact information, the war launched by the Kotru Empire this time is completely in conspiracy with the Liulai Empire. Their purpose is not to have one Crowe City, but to the entire Minth Empire. β
"As I expected. Ling Hu Jue smiled bitterly in his heart, he was not happy that his prediction was verified, but instead locked his eyebrows, his face was full of sadness, and he couldn't tell what kind of taste it was, "Marshal, what is the way to deal with it on the imperial side?"
"They, what will they do, a bunch of unlearned conspirators. Ling Huming scolded secretly in his heart, of course, the main object of his scolding was Nangong Wang, the prime minister of the empire, after hearing that the Liulai Empire had entered the war, His Royal Highness who was going to go with the army turned back to the imperial capital on the grounds of poor health, and completely threw this hot potato to himself. Frowning, Ling Hu Ming said a little angrily, "I am the direct leader of this war, if the war is lost, it will be a big disaster for me, for the entire Linghu family, and even for the entire empire." After speaking, Ling Hu Ming let out a long sigh of concern, he didn't know why he was saying this to Ling Hu Jue, and he didn't notice that he had changed Ben Shuai to me when he spoke.
From Ling Huming's expression, Ling Hujue could see that the imperial marshal had other things to worry about, and he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the old man in front of him who was in a high position, and he also felt the same way, "Yes, many times, one person has too much to carry. Then a clear light appeared on his handsome face, and he said categorically, "Does the marshal have any plans?"
Nodding, Hu Ming's face became even more solemn, and he said sternly: "This is also the reason why I came to Crowe City secretly, the enemy is outnumbered, and I must win by surprise." Speaking of this, he paused, and looked at Ling Hu Jue with inquiring eyes, the meaning was very clear, let Ling Hu Jue talk about his thoughts, and see if what Ling Hu Jue thought of was consistent with the plan he made.
Of course, Ling Hu was not a stupid person, he had already guessed his plan from Ling Hu Ming's actions, "Marshal, could it be that you want to concentrate superior forces to defeat the Liulai Empire first. β
Ling Huming nodded approvingly and explained, "As long as we defeat the Liulai Empire, then the Kotru Empire will retreat without a fight. β
These truths made Fox absolutely understand, and what he wanted to know most now was what Marshal Linghu summoned him so late, what was the real purpose, or what kind of role he played in this war. After thinking for a while, Ling Hu Jue said very calmly, "Marshal, you summoned the last general late at night, there must be some task, please make it clear." β
Looking at the righteous and awe-inspiring, noisy Ling Hu Jue, Ling Hu Ming lost his voice and praised, "Okay." As a veteran of a hundred battles, the subordinates he most wanted to see were generals like Ling Hu Jue who could calmly face any difficult task, "General Ling Hu, before I came, I had already ordered General Aura to select 40,000 elite cavalry, and these 40,000 elite cavalry will be led by you to attack the camp of the Liulai Empire stationed on the border. The Lion Legion and the Fire Phoenix Legion, which has just been transferred from the east, will support you when the war begins. β
Hearing Ling Hu Ming say this, Ling Hu definitely had a general idea of the entire plan. This is a very good plan. There is a high probability of success, but if the Liulai Empire is aware of it, then the consequences of the 40,000 cavalry led by Ling Hu Jue will be unimaginable. War itself is gambling, either you are big or I am small, Ling Hu Jue understands this truth very well, so he bowed and saluted, and said firmly, "The last general obeys orders, I don't know when to act?"
"Tomorrow, I have sent a general named Lacey to bring 40,000 cavalry to a mountain dock five miles east of Crowe City, you can go directly to him, the map of the distribution of troops in the Liulai Empire is also on Lacey, he has a bit of a strange temper, I hope you can bear with him a little more." Ling Hu Ming was a little lonely when he said these words, which shows that he let Ling Hu Jue lead the cavalry into battle because of the situation. After all, there are not many generals who can make soldiers swear to follow now, and Linghu Jue happens to be one of them. Therefore, when General Aura proposed that Linghu Jue should take on this position, he did not object.
Without the slightest pause, Ling Hu Jue immediately said in a deep voice, "Marshal, it's too late, the last general will retire first." Ling Hu Ming frowned slightly, looking at the back of Ling Hu Jue in a daze, his demeanor showed a sincere look of approval and love, since he and Ling Hu Jue met, he always felt that his son had a completely different temperament from ordinary people, which was very similar to his mother.
Leaning back in his chair, Ling Hu Ming stared at the stone roof of the secret room, his thoughts were very disordered, very turbulent, he was thinking about something, as if he didn't want anything, he seemed to be remembering something, but now, where did he have the feelings to recall? The imminent war had occupied all his spirit.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was overcast and there was a bleak autumn wind. In the small hall upstairs in the backyard of the "Qingyuan" post station, Ling Hu Jue stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the eastern sky with a solemn attitude. In the hall, sitting or standing with bated breath were all the people who came out with him this time, including Kailin.
The whole small hall was silent, no one spoke, no one moved, the air was tense and resolute, faintly, there was a general indescribable solemnity. After a long time, Ling Hu Jue turned his head, his eyes were shining, and he said in a low voice, "I have just told you about the mission of this trip, and I think everyone understands the danger, Brother Cofaro, you are not soldiers, don't go, if you are worried about Sisi, then I will leave Sisi behind." β
Before Tefaro could answer, Sisi had already flown in front of Ling Hujue and preemptively said, "No, Brother Ajue, you have to go with you." Speaking of this, she turned her head, her little face flushed, and hurriedly said to Tefaro and the other elves, "I, I don't need your protection. β
There was silence in the crowd. Tefaro stepped forward calmly, his face became extremely cold with the movement of his footsteps, and he said slowly: "Although we elves hate war and killing, as you told me before, if someone violates our relatives and homes, we will also rise up and resist. General Linghu, unless you don't treat us as friends, there is no reason for us to stay. β
Ying realized and gratefully hugged his fist, and Ling Hu never said anything more, but the sense of indignation and amazement stirring in his heart was so deep and so ......intense. The elven man's problem has been solved, all that remains is Kailin, he turned sideways, his expression was extremely stern, and said to Kailin, who was standing beside Mans, "Miss Kailin, I'm afraid I can't send someone to escort you to Iron Embankment City, so let's wait for me to say hello to the person in charge here, and ask him to send a few people to send you there, what do you think?"
"What, you want me to go back to Tiedi City?" Kai Lin was excited about her chance to go to the battlefield this time, and when she heard Ling Hu Jue say this, she was a little unhappy, but she didn't come out immediately, but pretended to think about it for a while before replying, "General Ling Hu, this is too troublesome, or let me go with you, leaving halfway, anyway." β
"No, I can't. This time it was Xiusi who refused, he wrenched the fingers of both hands, and the bone joints were crisp in bursts of "clattering", and said resolutely, "Now the battle situation is complicated, and there will be changes at any time, so you better go back by yourself." β
"You. Kaylin held her mouth and puffed. She glared at Hughes with both eyes, and then quietly tugged at Ramanth's sleeve, meaning to ask Manss to help her say a few kind words.
"Hughes has a point. Miss Kaylin. Don't say any more, just do what I said. Linghu Jue used his gesture to stop Kai Lin from talking, and then glanced at each silent face with his gaze, and said solemnly, "Okay, everyone go clean up, and in half an hour, we will come out." β
So, everyone in the hall retreated silently. Karine was at the end, and before she could leave the door, she stopped, and looked back at the young and handsome general. His lips opened, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, stomped his foot hard, and walked out the door.
After making proper arrangements for Kailin, Ling Hu Jue and the others rode away from Crow City without alarming anyone. The smoke and dust raised by dozens of iron hooves soon left the majestic city of Crow behind. The sound of hooves spread out one after another, sudden and intense, like raindrops falling in a row, faintly, there seemed to be an undisguised killing meaning.
The horses galloped quite fast, and in a moment they arrived at the mountain dock where 40,000 cavalry were hiding, and this mountain dock was about seven or eight miles in radius. Leaning against a steep and steep mountain, the outside is an undulating plain, and the inside near the mountain grows a deep pine forest along the high slope.
As soon as Ling Hu Jue and the others approached the pine forest, they heard the sound of hooves suddenly sounding like thunder, and hundreds of iron horsemen surged out of the pine forest with the power of shaking the mountain and shaking the mountain. The leader is a middle-aged general of about 4o, with a slender figure and armor all over his body, I saw him holding the reins with one hand, and the red tassels on his helmet were flying in the wind, and he did look as fierce as a veteran who had been in battle for a long time.
"He's Lacey. Ling Hu Jue looked at the oncoming middle-aged general, and secretly thought in his heart.
