Hong Yang looked at Lu Ping'an, with some admiration, envy, and even jealousy for him.

After a while, Hong Yang said: "I understand, I will go all out to fight, and the rest will be left to you and other strong people to solve." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Well, it's best to let the people of your Artifact Sect understand, because I think there should be quite a few people who are as worried as you, right?"

Hong Yang said: "After I go back, I will try my best to boost morale, our Artifact Sect is also the most powerful sect force in Cangwu Country, and we will never hold back in this war." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "That's good." ”

In fact, the Artifact Sect not only has good combat effectiveness in itself, but they also have a certain influence on other sect forces and monks in the Cangwu Kingdom.

Therefore, as long as the people of the Artifact Sect can cheer up and be confident of victory, it will be able to drive the fighting spirit of many people, thereby boosting the overall morale.

The reason why Lu Ping'an is willing to talk to Hong Yang about these things is precisely for this reason.

As for those soldiers in the army, they were already more disciplined and well-trained than the sect monks, and there were generals who would boost their morale, so there was no need for Lu Ping'an to worry about it at all.

Then, Hong Yang suddenly remembered something, and said with a wry smile: "Now that I think about it, when we were in the Amphibious Society, those few of us were known as the four geniuses of Cangwu Kingdom, which is really ridiculous!"

Lu Ping'an said: "At that time, in the Cangwu Kingdom, in terms of the younger generation of monks, with the strength of a few of you, you can indeed be regarded as geniuses, and the title is quite appropriate." ”

Hong Yang said: "But now, what have the so-called four geniuses become?"

Lu Ping'an said: "Xue Chengwu is very good, you should also mix well in the Artifact Sect, right?"

Hong Yang said: "But Sikong Yuan and Cao Xin's two guys, it's not so good. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Oh, I don't know very well, how are they doing now?"

Zhang Boshi and Wei Guogong were both imprisoned for the crime of rebellion.

The former will definitely die in the future, and the latter will make meritorious contributions because of his help in contacting Qi Zhu, but the death penalty has been spared, but the living crime cannot be escaped.

There is no doubt that Sikong Yuan, as the chief student of the National Education Academy, and Cao Xin, as the son of the Guogong, will inevitably be greatly implicated.

It's just that Lu Ping'an has been busy with cultivation and war recently, and he hasn't thought about the two of them at all, so he doesn't know their situation.

Hong Yang said: "You don't know? But that's right, you have been taking care of national affairs all this time, how can you have the heart to care about those two guys, I know some news about them." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Although I don't care very much, you might as well talk about it." ”

Hong Yang said: "Cao Xin is still practicing in Jixia Academy, and when he learned that his father was arrested for rebellion, he didn't dare to come back, even if there was a war between the two countries, he also chose to be a shrunken turtle in the academy, people like him are basically like this, and there can be no more great future." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "That guy is not a good guy in the first place, and it is not surprising that he is like this now." ”

Hong Yang said: "As for Sikong Yuan, because he has a close relationship with Zhang Boshi, he was temporarily placed under house arrest, but I estimate that without Zhang Boshi's big backer, his future life in the National Education Institute will not be much better." ”

After hearing this, Lu Ping'an's heart did not fluctuate, but he said flatly: "I see." ”

Hong Yang said: "As for Xue Chengwu, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid he would be even worse." ”

Lu Ping'an didn't answer, but he knew in his heart that this was indeed the case, although Xue Chengwu was upright, but without his influence, Xue Chengwu might also be affected by Xue Zhengde.

Hong Yang said again: "So in the final analysis, you are the real genius! Even in the history of Cangwu Kingdom, there is no existence that can be compared with you." ”

Lu Ping'an was not happy by Hong Yang's praise, but said in a deep voice: "But if I don't lead the Cangwu Kingdom to win this war, then I will become the biggest sinner in the history of the Cangwu Kingdom." ”

Hong Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "The higher you stand, the greater the responsibility and pressure on your body, and it seems that it is not easy for you." ”

Lu Ping'an didn't explain much, just stood up and said, "If it's okay, you can go, and I will continue to practice swords." ”

Hong Yang smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, then I won't bother you." ”

After that, Hong Yang left, and Lu Ping'an picked up the Tibetan Sword again and continued to cultivate.

Lu Ping'an's cultivation is from day to night, and then from night to day.

He seems to want to use the last bit of time to the extreme, even if he can only improve his combat effectiveness a little, he will also improve the chances of victory for the next war.

But not long after dawn, Meng Shaoyuan came to find Lu Ping'an, saying that he had received important information again, and Hu Xian asked them to go to the army to discuss the matter.

Lu Ping'an naturally walked away without hesitation, and after a while, he and Meng Shaoyuan came to the main tent.

Guan Xiantu, Luo Yi, Mu Qing and others also gathered here again.

Lu Ping'an asked, "What important information did you receive?"

Hu Xian said: "Yesterday at noon, the 120,000 troops of Dongyu Kingdom had already arrived on the other side of the Hongling River. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "In this way, the information we got before is quite accurate. ”

Hu Xian nodded and said, "Not long ago, the generals of the army of Dongyu Kingdom decided on the attack method they would use this time......

Lu Ping'an's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "What are they going to do?"

Hu Xian said: "Direct frontal attack, the specific direction, we already know." ”

Lu Ping'an was stunned and said, "That's it?"

Hu Xian said: "That's right. ”

Mu Qing on the side said: "According to the information we have obtained so far, this is indeed the case. ”

Lu Ping'an frowned and said: "Anyway, we are all on the more passive side, and since they want to attack head-on, then we can only engage head-on, after all, with our current strength, we still have the power to fight." ”

Guan Xiantu said: "Of course, with the Hongling River separating us, even if we have any clever plans, it is difficult to take the initiative to implement them on the other party, so we can only passively face the battle." But correspondingly, the existence of Honglingjiang will still become a major offensive obstacle for the Dongyu army. ”

Lu Ping'an said: "Well, we must make good use of this point, and we must not let their 120,000 troops cross the river smoothly!"

Luo Yi said: "However, with the experience of the annihilation of the whole army last time, I estimate that this time they will definitely pay more attention to the matter of crossing the river, and maybe they will directly send some strong people to guard the riverside." ”

Lu Ping'an said in a deep voice: "Whether it is an ordinary soldier or a strong man in the army of Dongyu Kingdom, I will not let them cross the river easily." ”

Guan Xiantu said: "Although the top powerhouse of the other party can only be handed over to Lu Xiaoyou to deal with, we will also take the army and the monks of all parties to fully assist in the battle!"

At this time, Hu Xian suddenly said: "This time, I will personally lead the troops into battle!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Guan Xiantu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not ......."

Hu Xian raised his hand, interrupted Guan Xiantu's words, and said in a firm tone: "I said that if I want to drive the expedition in person, I can't stay in the rear barracks all the time, I must go to the battlefield to fight side by side with you, and this is also the final decisive battle, no matter what the result is, I will be in it and witness all this with my own eyes." ”

Having said that, Guan Xiantu was still very worried about Hu Xian's safety, so he wanted to dissuade him a few words, saying: "But ......"

Mu Qing said: "I will protect Your Majesty." ”

Guan Xiantu said: "But what if Lu Xiaoyou encounters difficulties and needs your help?"

Hu Xian said: "Okay, there is no need to say it again, I have made up my mind, for the sake of Cangwu Country, even if I die on the battlefield, what does it matter?"

As soon as these words came out, Guan Xiantu didn't persuade him anymore, and said: "I understand, I will do my best to protect Your Majesty when the time comes." ”

Hu Xian said: "You are responsible for directly commanding the army and the monks of all parties, you don't have to focus on me, there is Miss Mu and the rest of the royal offerings, and the Praetorian Guard, it is enough." ”

Lu Ping'an said: "It is indeed a bit dangerous for Your Majesty to go to the battlefield in person, but it will also greatly boost our morale, and from this aspect alone, it is also a good thing." ”

Hu Xian said: "That's right, and if nothing else, that guy from Qi Zhu should also go to the battlefield, so I will be even more present." ”

Lu Ping'an was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Have you received such information?"

Hu Xian shook his head and said: "No, the matter of Qi Zhu is the top secret in the army of Dongyu Kingdom, and our people have no way to find out the relevant news, but as the same king of the same country, I guess that he is very likely to do this." ”

Lu Ping'an's eyes suddenly froze, revealing a trace of murderous aura, but he didn't speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Chun Yu Feiqiong next to him noticed this and said in a low voice: "Lu Ping'an, don't mess around!"

Lu Ping'an said: "Don't worry, until the last last resort, I will not choose that approach, everything will still focus on the overall situation." ”

After that, the group once again discussed the battle strategy based on the available information.

But in fact, they had already discussed it before, and now it is just a final decision.

But even so, they still left a little leeway, after all, no one can guarantee that the information must be accurate, and it may even be just a cover played by the Dongyu army.

After some time, the crowd dispersed.

Xue Chengwu and other army generals also had to convey the news of the imminent war, so that all the soldiers and monks could get ready.

After walking out of the main tent in the army, Chun Yu Feiqiong asked Lu Ping'an: "If there is no accident, the war will start the day after tomorrow, what do you want to do now?"

Lu Ping'an glanced in the direction of the Hongling River, took a deep breath, and said: "Practicing swords, only practicing swords can make me feel calm, but this time I will go to the bank of the Hongling River to practice." ”
