Lingdong City is a fortress city in Xidong, nestled in the midst of mountains.

Its walls are tall and sturdy, and every stone reveals the traces of time.

At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the city wall, covering it with a layer of golden brilliance, which appeared more solemn and mysterious.

After Tang Zongjiu submitted his certificate of appointment, he entered the city smoothly.

There are both traditional wooden structures and sturdy stone houses in Yeongdong Castle.

The city has a winding street lined with shops and a wide variety of goods.

The cries of the vendors and the bargaining of the customers are intertwined to form a lively symphony of the market.

In the midst of this hustle and bustle, the sound of weapons colliding and the neighing of war horses can be heard from a distance from time to time, reminding people that this was once an important military place in ancient times.

Sun Yao had been waiting in the Governor's Mansion for a long time.

As the governor of Xidong, he could not escape the blame for the attack on Xidong this time, but Emperor Wanzhen spared his life and followed Tang Zongjiu to subdue the lost land.

Therefore, at this time, he can't wait to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire for Xi Dong.

"General Don Jr!" As soon as Sun Yao saw Tang Zongjiu, he knelt down and said.

"Hurry up." Tang Zongjiu stretched out his hand and dragged the person up.

"General Sun." Don's voice appeared in the background.

Sun Yao was taken aback.

The people of the Lan Kingdom came to the Tang family this time, and the entire Tang family was washed to pieces, and Tang Zongjiu was able to meet Tang Zongran in such a situation, whether it was luck or brotherhood, such efficiency and strength were reassuring for Xi Dongjun.

"Second General Tang! It's great that you're safe! Sun Yao stepped forward and saluted Tang Zongran.

Don returned the salute.

The Tang family is in the Xidong Army, Tang Yihe is the general of Tang, Tang Zongheng is the general of Tang, and Tang is the second general of Tang.

Now Tang Zongjiu is the marshal of the Eastern Army, so everyone calls him General Xiao Tang.

In terms of position, Sun Yao, the governor, is no lower than Tang Zong.

After a brief pleasantry, the three of them sat down.

"The remaining 100,000 troops in Xidong are waiting for you to send." Sun Yao said, "And the entire Xidong is already being recruited as a supplement, and a group of excellent recruits will come to the border in half a month." ”

Hearing the word conscription, Tang Zongjiu and Tang Zongran glanced at each other.

"Are all cities conscripted?" Tang Zongjiu asked.

"Yes, according to the report from the spies, Lan Guo has more than 200,000 troops this time, and the actual number may be close to 300,000!"

"Why did the Lan people do this?" Tang Zongjiu asked, "Spending 300,000 troops just to destroy the Tang family?" ”

"And Tang Jiajun." Tang Rang added.

"Do they want our Tang family to become the sinners of the Xi Kingdom through the ages?" Tang Zongjiu has always been puzzled why the people of Lan are so miserable.

"Without the Tang family and the Tang family's army, the entire Xidong will become the biggest breakthrough in the Xi country in a short period of time." Sun Yao admitted.

He had to admit it.

If the Tang family and the Tang family army are really completely wiped out, then how can he, a governor, resist the 300,000 army of the Lan country?

Even if the west, south, and north sides come to support, won't the guards in the other directions be weak?

He, Sun Yao, can't redeem the sins of this body even if he destroys the nine clans.

"That's all it can be," Tang Zongjiu said, "We don't need to spend time speculating on the purpose of the enemy's attack, since we're here, let's kill them all!" ”

"Kill back!" Sun Yao bowed.

"Do you know when their next attack will be?" Tang Zongjiu asked.

"The Lan people stopped after they hit Weiyang City," Sun Yao shook his head, "It seems that they want to drag on us for the whole winter." ”

Tang Zongjiu looked out the window: "It's winter." ”

"Yes. In the winter, it is our soldiers who suffer. Sun Yao gritted his teeth.

"They arrested my brother." Tang Zongjiu said.

"What?!" Sun Yao's eyelids jumped, "General Tang was arrested by the Lan people?!" ”

Tang Zongjiu bowed his head.

That's a problem.

Sun Yao thought to himself.

Everyone knows that even if Don becomes a prisoner, it can't be worse.

Whether it can be saved or not is a question.

"You just know this matter in your heart, my brother I will find a way to save it, you can rest assured." Tang Zongjiu naturally knew the contradiction here.

"General Xiao Tang has any use to get Sun, just ask." Sun Yao said.

At this time, Sun Yao didn't say anything like "General Tang should have the consciousness of being an officer of Xi Guo, and after being captured by the enemy, in order not to become a burden, suicide is the right way", but offered to help, which was already a relief in the snow.

"Thank you." Tang bowed, "I still need to find out the news of my parents these days, and my second brother will stay here with you, General Sun." ”

The implication is that he has something to go.

"That's nature." Sun Yao supports.

For him, one more Tang family member will have one more guarantee for Xi Dong.

The people of the Lan Kingdom are there now, controlling the ten cities in Xidong, and there is no shortage of supplies at all, obviously wanting to fight a protracted war.

Xi Dong naturally can't delay here, the more fully prepared he is, the greater the chance of winning, it's like a race against time.

"Regarding supplies," Tang Zongjiu continued, "the emperor will give Xi Dong the greatest support, including cotton armor, food, and weapons. ”

Hearing this, Sun Yao's eyes lit up.

was scolded by Emperor Wanzhen before, and the spitting stars simply drowned him.

Now that he can still support Xi Dong like this, Sun Yao can't wait to kneel and kowtow in front of his old man immediately.

With these things, are you still afraid that the grandsons of his Lan Kingdom will not succeed all winter?

Referring to these, Tang Zongjiu thought of Shen Qi.

He had to see her as soon as possible.

It's not safe anywhere but around him.

But when I thought of her, she traveled thousands of miles for herself, and even disguised herself as a man to enter the barracks.

Tang Zongjiu couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

This is something that his phoenix dares to do.

Presumably, Emperor Wanzhen acquiesced.

Phoenix ......

Thinking of this, Tang Zongjiu stood up.

"Time is of the essence, I have to get out as soon as possible."

"Be careful on the road, general." Sun Yao said, "Do you want me to send a few guards to follow?" ”

After all, Tang Zongjiu's current identity is not trivial, and he needs protection more than Tang Zongjiu.

"No, too many people get in the way." Tang Zongjiu said, "I have come all the way from the imperial capital, my tracks are hidden, and I have never been exposed, and it is a good thing for everyone to be in the dark." ”

"Xia Guan understands." Sun Yao said.

"Then I'll go first." Tang Zongjiu glanced at Tang Zongran, "Be careful." ”

"Go ahead." Even though Tang is safe now, he is naturally not afraid.

"Get in touch."

After speaking, Tang Zongjiu dodged away.

Tang Yu and Shen San followed closely.

Tang Zongjiu glanced at Shen San.

"You tell me everything you know, all the things that your princess has done during this period of time, 1510." (End of chapter)
