Chapter 24: Plan Ahead
[Thank you for the tips of the two brothers, Book Friend 140921135222782 and Nameless and Lawless!]
"Riot?" Although Du Xuan had a premonition, he was still very shocked to see the news.
"The situation is very serious, in addition to the Chiyang Guard, the Cutting Barbarian Guard, and the Three Guards of the Cutting Barbarian Guard, only the Guardian of Sichuan and the Fortress of Sichuan Mansion have not been occupied by the bandits. The general felt that the bandits' next step should be to attack Fucheng. Eryang claimed to have 300,000 soldiers, founded a country in Lantian, and proclaimed himself the emperor of Lantian Zu. It was all the waste of the name year, and instead of nipping the civil unrest in the bud at the beginning, the army of the six guards in addition to the three border guards was mobilized to the capital city, so that each guard was empty. The guards were full of displaced people, and under the combination of the inside and outside, except for Lantian Wei, who was caught off guard by the rebels, the rest of the broken guards were all inside and should open the city gate at night to welcome the rebel army into the city. Now the situation in Sichuan Province is completely rotten. If the barbarians take the opportunity to attack at this time, the morale of the border guards will drop greatly, but I am afraid that this guard will not be able to defend it. Fortunately, our Chiyangwei has been prepared for a long time, and the displaced people have been incorporated in advance, otherwise, as soon as the chaotic army comes, under the internal and external troubles, Chiyangwei will not be much better. Du Feng told Du Xuan everything he knew.
Hearing this, Du Xuan couldn't help frowning, it was really rotten into a pot of porridge. I thought that without the famine, the situation of Daqi should not festered to this extent all at once, but I didn't expect that the political affairs of Daqi had reached such a field. In the critical situation at the border, there are still people who do not know whether they are alive or dead, and the people are forced to rebel. If it is really a sin made by heaven, it is forgivable that you can't live if you do it!
"What are your father's plans?" asked Du Xuan.
"The general asked the forts to train the outcasts and follow the example of our Black Bear Fort. Du Feng said proudly.
"It's not about emulating us. At such a juncture, the formation of the outcasts and the expansion of the guard are things that any experienced general would do. My father has been a general for many years, and he knows very well when to do something. I can't wait, I have to hurry up my preparations while I have a little more peace time. Du Xuan clenched his fists and said.
"Young Master, what are you going to do?" Du Feng asked.
"From today onwards, all the affairs of the castle will be handed over to you. During this time, the various teams have also brought back a lot of cattle, and I have already domesticated them, so you can devote yourself to the reclamation of wasteland and the cultivation of Chiyang rice as soon as possible. We need to prepare as much food as we can. The training of the militia is also handed over to you and the convoy. During this time, I will go into the mountains. Twelve dragon-scale horses is still too little. I'm going to get some more dragon scale horses back!" Du Xuan has been improving his cultivation in an all-round way recently. So, he was going to try his luck at that meadow again, trying to get a cavalry made entirely of dragon-scale horses in the Black Bear Castle. In this way, even if the chaotic army or the barbarians attacked, Du Xuan would be able to win the battle with this dragon scale horse cavalry team. Du Xuan believed that as long as he could form a thousand dragon scale horse cavalry, he would be confident that he would completely defeat the 300,000 army of the rebellious army. The chaotic army is known as 300,000, and there are less than 10,000 people who can really fight, and it is not a problem to have a thousand-person dragon scale horse cavalry, with one enemy and ten.
Although the war can't be fought in Black Bear Fort at once, Du Xuan has to speed up his strength, in case one day the chaotic people and the barbarian dogs should cooperate with the outside, so that Chiyang Wei will suffer from the enemy, and Chiyang Wei will need to stand up at a critical moment.
Yang Wancai's team was arranged to stay behind, which made Yang Wancai very unhappy.
"Third son, just let me go with you, right? When it comes to jungle warfare, which squad can compare with our squad, and in terms of overall strength, which squad is stronger than ours?" Yang Wancai still refused to give up.
"Yang Wancai, the soldier obeys the military order unconditionally, you should know very well, right? Now I order you to stay, because I fancy the strength of your team. There's news that you may not know yet. There was a riot in Lantianwei, and now there are five guards in the hands of the nine guards in Sichuan Province. You don't want our Black Bear Fort to be taken over by the rioters, right?" asked Du Xuan.
"Third Prince, when did this happen, how is the situation with Chiyangwei?" Yang Wancai's eyes widened, the news made him unbelievable.
"There hasn't been anything going on with Chiyangwei yet, but who knows when the rioters will come over? You also have to worry more about the training of the militia group. These recruits will be the source of troops for your various teams in the future. Now that there is a rebellion in the Sichuan Mansion, do you want to be a team leader all the time?" Du Xuan asked.
"Third Prince, please rest assured, as long as there is still one person in our team who can breathe, the Black Bear Fort will definitely still be in our hands, and it will still be the Black Bear Fort of the Third Prince!" Yang Wancai said excitedly.
Du Xuan slapped Yang Wancai's chest heavily: "I'm relieved to have your words!"
Yang Wancai was so tall and tall that he was beaten back two steps by Du Xuan, who looked relatively thin, and he was also shocked: "Why is the third young master's strength so big? I can't bear it!"
Du Xuan brought the dragon scale horse cavalry team that he had trained for a long time, Du Xuan was not worried that these dragon scale horses would betray after seeing the dragon scale horse king, these dragon scale horses have been completely tamed by him, even if they face the old master again, there will be no betrayal. Moreover, Du Xuan not only did not worry about the betrayal of these dragon scale horses, but wanted to use these dragon scale horses to trick more dragon scale horses into taking the bait.
During this period of time, the strength of the Golden Spotted Brute Tiger has also improved a lot, and it has come out majestic. Du Xuan didn't let it be a mount anymore, such a powerful thug, it's a pity to let it be a mount.
Entering the mountain, Du Xuan let out a long howl, and not long after, he heard a wolf howl between the mountains. It was the Fire Barbarian Wolf King responding to Du Xuan.
The Flame Barbarian Wolf King, with the assistance of Du Xuan's several teams, almost occupied the range of a few hundred miles of the Black Bear Castle. During this period, the Flame Barbarian Wolf King also subdued several teams of the same clan, and the number of wolves expanded to nearly two thousand. The Flame Barbarian Wolf King also has a few more capable subordinates, and they are all wolf king-level thugs. The Flame Barbarian Wolf King's own strength has also improved a lot.
Seeing that the strength of his team had improved so much, Du Xuan was also a little inflated about this trip to the grassland.
"For a while, we basically had people watching the meadow, and the group of dragon-scale horses had been in the meadow all the time and had not left. I can't afford to leave such a fertile pasture, and it's breeding season for dragonscale horses, and they also need a pasture that can provide them with enough fresh grass. The brute beasts around the grassland, with several of our teams taking turns to clear them, this group of dragon scale horses is really too comfortable. "Wang Yuansen has only recently returned from training in the mountains and forests near the grassland, and he has cleared the situation of the grassland the most.
