Xiao Jiu looked at these changes, and he was also very happy in his heart, but in this thick and peaceful atmosphere, he felt a trace of nervousness. Xiao Jiu said to the big men: "I guess something has happened recently, let's go back and take a look." With that, he hurried to his place. At this time, several soldiers came over, one of them was stunned when he saw Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu at this time was already a teenager, his figure was much taller, and his face was a lot less innocent, with a little maturity. At this time, the soldier came over and asked politely, "May I ask if you are a childe?" Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "I am your royal Xiao Jiu." The soldier suddenly saluted Xiao Jiu and said, "I heard that Gongzi has something to do, but I haven't seen him for so many years, I really dare not confirm it." Ask Childe to go directly to the palace hall, where everyone is waiting for Childe. Xiao Jiuyi was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: How do they know that I will come back today. The soldier then continued: "The eldest prince has sent us to look for the prince everywhere in this imperial city for a year, and this has become a daily necessity for us. ”

Xiao Jiuyi couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard the soldier's words, it seems that this matter is still a bit big, otherwise the eldest brother would not have issued such a strange message.

Xiao Jiu didn't go back, and took the big men straight to the palace hall. As soon as the soldiers standing guard outside the main hall saw Gongzi appear, they all showed surprise on their faces and stood upright and saluted. After Xiao Jiu hurriedly returned the salute, the soldiers hurriedly pushed open the door of the main hall and invited Gongzi to enter. As soon as Xiao Jiu entered the main hall, he saw that the ministers in the main hall were all in the east and west, and they were busy discussing what was going on. Even the eldest brother left his seat and ran down to discuss something with several ministers. With the light of opening the door, everyone involuntarily turned their heads, and saw that under the strong light outside, Xiao Jiu's body flashed a circle of light. In order to adapt to the dimness in the room, Xiao Jiu paused at the door for a while. That's when I walked in. At this time, the people in the room were stunned and looked at the young man who walked in. After the eldest brother was obviously stunned, he immediately jumped up, rushed over, and came to Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu hurriedly saluted the eldest brother and said, "The eldest brother has been good lately, and the younger brother is so polite." The eldest brother looked at Xiao Jiu carefully for a while, and sighed: "I have grown taller and stronger." Saying that, he punched Xiao Jiu in the chest and continued: "You guy, why did you disappear in a blink of an eye, and you have been gone for so long." You're too uninteresting, it's your business, but you caught me, an honest man, on an errand for you, and as a result, you disappeared as soon as something happened, I'm really a miserable person. As he spoke, he opened his arms and hugged Xiao Jiu tightly.

Xiao Jiu waited for the eldest brother to let him go, and said to the eldest brother with a smile: "Who made you the boss, do you bear to let my youngest brother suffer if you don't suffer the Dao?" Saying that, he looked at the bitter face of the eldest brother and said: "What is the matter this time, I was called here directly before I even returned home." You are still complaining, didn't I also give you a bad errand? At this time, the general came over and said, "Childe is back." This time it's long enough, I haven't seen it for more than three years, and I've grown a lot taller. Here's the thing. The two countries of Wuwei and the Tanya Empire jointly sent troops into the Heian Kingdom. Wu Weiguo sent 800,000 troops, and the Tanya Empire sent 2 million troops, and attacked Ping'an State in three ways. At the request of Heian Province, our southern army sent eight million men into Heian Province. As a result, the Eastern Front was defeated in successive battles, and now the armies of the two countries are approaching the safe capital. ”

Xiao Jiu asked, "What about the situation on the other two lines?" At this time, Yingnan, who was an official of the intelligence department of the military department, came out and said: "Because the other two lines are heavily armed, the leading general said that he is resisting with all his might, and he can only barely maintain his own defense area. and unable to support the Eastern Front. This time, the opponent placed the main force of 600,000 on the Eastern Front, and the rest were all on the other two fronts. But up to now, we have gone through three major battles on the Eastern Front, the first time we invested 800,000 troops, almost letting the opponent defeat them, the second time we invested 1.2 million soldiers, we were defeated by the opponent, forming a rout, and the third time we mobilized 1.8 million troops, but we were still defeated by the opponent. He is currently defending the front line of the capital, but he has too few troops and is asking for quick reinforcements. We just can't understand the situation on the Eastern Front now, why these 600,000 soldiers can defeat three times as many opponents. "Yingnan is worthy of being an expert in intelligence, and he will explain the situation in a few words.

Xiao Jiu then asked, "What about the casualties of the other two-front battles?" ”

Yingnan said: "There are no reports of casualties on the other two fronts now, only reports of requesting supplies." The existing strength of the Eastern Front is also nearly one million, but it is still very tight, but there are no other superfluous material requirements except for normal supplies. ”

Xiao Jiu looked at the old-fashioned map hanging on the wall, pondered for a while, and said: "The problem now is that the enemy situation is not clear, and the real strength of the enemy on the Eastern Front is not really clear, so now there are problems on the third line." After speaking, he looked at the general and asked, "The whole army is over." The general nodded and said: "All of them have reached the standards, and the equipment has also reached the required standards, but except for the command of the son, others dare not command these iron-blooded soldiers at all, and everyone is not clear about the changes and cooperation of the formation formation." Now the cavalry is already this number. Stretching out a finger as he spoke, Xiao Jiu nodded, and then the general continued: "The infantry has also reached this number, and there are still three numbers in training." As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Jiu, and finally sighed. As soon as Xiao Jiu saw the general's expression, he knew that the general didn't want others to command these troops he had worked so hard to cultivate.

Xiao Jiu said to the general: "General, I can understand your feelings, and I also agree with your approach, rather than becoming a stepping stone to the success of others and sacrificing the troops, it is better to keep these iron-blooded men to serve the country, and let those officials who only care about the merits of the soldiers regardless of the life and death of the soldiers be idle and retire at home." As soon as Xiao Jiu's words fell, a few generals of the military department lowered their heads, these are the generals who are vying to lead the new army to the battle, although they can fight for a mess in the main hall, but when they see Xiao Jiu, they don't dare to say anything at all, they want to rely on the new army to get the merits of the war, and the son can see it clearly at a glance. At this time, General Shufan came over and said, "Childe, the current situation, your opinion." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Jiu a little worriedly. Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "How can you, a fearless general, become such a coward." This matter is not only related to our relationship with Heian Province, but also related to the safety of all the soldiers we have sent out, and more importantly, it is related to the confidence of our country's future development, so we must send troops again, and this time the general I propose to send 600,000 cavalry. 400,000 infantry, set off today. You see how. ”

The general nodded and said: "I agree to send troops, but it is very small to have some troops to take care of three sides, and Gongzi will think about the problem of troops." As for the commander, I don't know who Gongzi wants. Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "Since the general already has an idea in his heart, why bother going around in circles." I'll go this time, you can like it. The general smiled sheepishly. Xiao Jiu continued: "Don't be too happy, General, this time you and General Shufan are both people who have something to do, and the two of you may have to be forced to work." ”

The two of them said in a loud voice: "There is no problem, we are waiting for the task of the commander at any time." ”

Xiao Jiu said: "General Shufan, you personally bring 400,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry. In the form of cavalry with infantry, ready to go in three days for direct reinforcement of the Eastern Front. ”

General Shu Fan asked: "How to determine the route of the march, Gongzi made it clear." ”

Xiao Jiu said: "I haven't gone home yet, I'll invite everyone tonight, and it's not too late to talk about it then." The two smiled knowingly and didn't speak again, and when the other people heard that this was Gongzi personally leading the troops to the battle, they were also half relieved, but they were still worried that the disparity between the forces of the two sides was too great. At this time, Xiao Jiu said to the eldest brother: "I'll go back now." We'll see you in the evening. ”

In the evening, the Great General and General Shufan both came to Xiao Jiu's residence. Seeing that the parents of the ancestor and the son, as well as the eldest brother and sister, a large group of people were talking and laughing, and after seeing the general walk in, everyone gave up their seats to the general and General Shufan. The general said to the old ancestor: "Old ancestor, why can't I see a little bit of your figure in the past few years, how about it, this time I have improved the realm again." The old ancestor did not shy away from the general and the people: "Yes." With the help of the little goblin, you have broken through, and you should also change your exercises. Try according to what Xiao Jiu said, there will be no mistake. The general said: "I have changed it a long time ago, but the distance of change is more difficult." Xiao Jiu continued: "I hope you will hurry up with the exercises I gave you, otherwise you won't blame me in the future." Everyone laughed and said, "This is for everyone to be teachers." When the general asked about the dispatch of troops, everyone listened.

Xiao Jiudao: "I checked the information of the generals of the three fronts, although the generals of the Eastern Front did not report the excess materials, this is related to his character, this is a tough guy who is not afraid of strong enemies, so I decided to reinforce the Eastern Front." The problem is that the eldest sister also said that the opponents on the third line have blocked the situation very strictly, and they have lost several of the manpower sent out alone, so why do they want to keep it a secret like this? Besides, the commanders of the other two fronts, to put it mildly, are all speculative and drilling. In this way, I have a question, why can those who can fight to lose the battle, and those who drill the camp can be safe, which reminds me of what happened to the general, the border guards are fine, and the forbidden army is desperate. Speaking of this, the general suddenly came to his senses, looked at Xiao Jiu and said, "Childe means that they chose the location of the real attack on the Eastern Front. Xiao Jiu continued: "Let's talk about their troops. There are a total of 3 million of them, so why will our army of 1.8 million be defeated by them, is it a problem of soldiers, or a problem of generals, I don't think it is, I believe that our soldiers and generals, if they do not appear in the situation of insisting on defense in the area of the capital, then there is only one explanation, the opponent's strength must be more than 2 million. ”

As soon as Xiao Jiu's words came out, everyone was stunned, which also made people unbelievable, how could so many troops come out. At this time, Xiao Jiu continued: "It's not surprising, didn't we also play such a hand for our opponent at the border last time, adding troops halfway." In addition, I doubt that the actual strength of the other two fronts is in line with what we have obtained, and I think that these two commanders are very problematic. ”

Xiao Jiu said to General Shu Fan: "General, you lead the army to take the first step, and only say to the outside world that the commander of the army has not been decided, and as soon as you arrive in the south, you will send 200,000 cavalry soldiers without people to directly attack the farthest two passes."
