There are two unbreakable cities on the southern border of Anyang County.

A city located in the southernmost part is called Nankou City. Because here, the originally continuous mountains in the southern border have been interrupted by more than a hundred miles. Just like a hole is opened on the most majestic natural southern city wall in the Central Plains, it is an important position on the entire defense line.

The other is Shuanglong City.

Shuanglong City is located north of the mountains in the southern border of Anyang County. It is behind the first and second lines of defense among the mountains. It is the most important logistics support place.

But now, the Nanyi Beast Tide has been on the siege of Shuanglong City for a month.

This marked the complete collapse of the two defense lines in the western mountains of Anyang County, and also made Shuanglong City, a big city that had never been directly hit by the beast tide in nine hundred years, become the latest front line for Anyang County to face the Nanyi.

Fortunately, there is another person in the city who will appear on time every day and walk on the city walls so that the people in the city will not be desperate and panic.

He is Wei Changhe, a famous human general who has been in charge of the southern defense line of Anyang County for decades.

The heavy rain stopped on this day, and Wei Changhe, wearing black array armor, climbed the southern city wall as usual, but beside him, there was a young man in gray and white uniform next to him. The young man walked side by side with Wei Changhe on the city wall with a faint expression.

Wei Changhe walked slowly and steadily along the walls. While looking at the densely packed beasts outside the city, he said to the young people around him, "You are still a little reckless when you take the risk this time. As you think, Anyang County does need someone from the Yan family to stand up and boost morale, but that person should not be you. Even if your father is forced to accept the situation in a short time, this matter will become a bad impression on you in his heart over time. After all, you still have several brothers."

"So many days have passed, and Zhu'er has not given those brothers a chance to express their feelings? But they are still unwilling to leave Ancheng after all, and it will be futile to wait any longer." The young man with a indifferent expression was Yan Zhuo, the young man who had met Luochuan. "What's more, the war in southern Xinjiang is now not going well and the second line of defense have been abandoned. There have been voices of unfavorable discussions for my grandfather in the court. If I don't come, I don't know what it will be."

"Court?" Wei Changhe laughed loudly, "Why should I care about the discussions of the scholars in the court? It's just a group of rats?" He stopped and stretched out his hand to pat the towering and heavy city wall of Shuanglong City. "I was already the age of retiring my family and returning to the fields to retire and retire to the south, but now your father invited me to stay in southern Xinjiang. I had already told him before going south to Shuanglong City that if the western defense line is broken, the second line of defense will definitely not be able to hold on. Starting last winter, the people south of Yuanhe have already evacuated northward. Now there is only a Nankou City south of Yuanhe. Soon... Nankou City is also going to be lost."

Wei Changhe sighed and looked at Yan Zhuo, "Don't you know about these things? He knows them all, but he still has to look angry in the court no matter what. He needs to give the people an explanation."

He looked at Yan Zhuo with a somewhat shocked look and smiled gently, "You should have guessed that this explanation can only be me, Wei Changhe."

"How can this be done?!" Yan Zhuo grabbed Wei Changhe's arm and said quickly, "If there is a grandfather on the southern front, it can also protect the third line of defense of Shuanglong City Yuanhe, Shuanglong City, Yuanhe Line, and most of the land in Anyang County can still be safe. If even grandfather... then who can ensure that this third line of defense will not be broken like the two lines of defense in front of it? Once the third line of defense is broken, the Nanyi can drive straight into the vast central plain ravaging Anyang County, and there is no danger to defend in Anyang City!!"

"Don't underestimate the young people. When my grandfather first arrived in southern Xinjiang, wasn't he that old? Wei Changhe will build an unbreakable third line of defense for Anyang County, and then choose a new general for it, and go south and north to go? Why not resist..." Wei Changhe reached out and patted Yan Zhuo's hand, "Zhuo'er, what else can you see when you are at this age? It's just you and your mother. After I leave, your mother will become the only wife of Anyang County. In addition to the few military people I left for you, I have nothing to worry about."

Seeing that Yan Zhuo had something else to say, he smiled and waved his hand, "How much do I value you? You can't be like a child like this," he reached out and patted Yan Zhuo's head, then turned around and continued to walk forward. "Originally, I hope you can come to southern Xinjiang and do something on the third line of defense. But since the young prefect of the county left the county during the New Year, I felt that more opportunities might be in the north. Now the two strong forces in southwest Hanzhou have been established. Originally, if there was no disaster in southern Xinjiang, I might have taken advantage of the situation, but now... I can only make a choice."

"The Yun family in Guangjun was our only choice. The Yun family and the Yan family have always had a good relationship for many years, but the ruthless Yun Bailou chose to take action against Hanoi County. Your father and the civil and military officials of the court were no longer trusting the family. Instead, Luo Chuan, who had a fresh ascendant, became a possible choice because of affection and righteousness. Therefore, there was a considerable reason for that covenant. Of course, there was also a considerable part of the reason for the Le County after all, it was farther away from us. If we could form an alliance with Li County, it would be beneficial to the war situation in southern Xinjiang, and it would also shock Guangjun to not dare to take action against us easily," Wei Changhe smiled suddenly, "Things of the world are unpredictable. Who would have thought that the little guy who was still worried about returning home half a year ago could become a key figure who often affects the storm of a state in such a short time..."

"Grandpa said I could contact more people from Luochuan and go to... north?" Yan Zhuo looked thoughtful, then looked up and asked, "Chucheng?!"

Wei Changhe nodded in approval and affirmed, "It's Chucheng," he spoke slowly with his hands behind his back, "Chucheng is located in the Yashui River Tao, and is across the water from Guangjun Baocheng. As long as you cross the Yahe River, you can log in at any heavy waist and abdomen in the south of Guangjun, but... Chucheng has the only naval army in Anyang County."

"Grandpa wants me to control the naval army?" Yan Zhuo said in surprise, "No need to say that naval army is far from the current Guangjun naval army..."

"Is the gap important? The important thing is... Li County has no naval army," Wei Changhe smiled and looked to the west. "Li County has more than 300,000 elite army, but there is no naval army. It's okay if he only revolves in Sanqiu County, but as long as he wants to go further, the naval army is the first problem to solve. There are no warships, no naval army, and no generals familiar with naval army affairs. This is the dilemma that Luo Chuan will face in the future, and you... may be able to help him solve this dilemma!!"

The shock on Yan Zhuo's face could no longer be concealed, "Grandpa, you..."

"I know what you mean, I know. Saying so much is just a matter of preparation," Wei Changhe looked outside the city, where a large army of humans followed by elite cavalrymen rushed out of the city gate, hitting the wet and tired beasts, and then heading east. "I had thought that if you force your father to give way to you, can Anyang County find an opportunity to take the initiative in this troubled world and repeatedly deduce it, but the final outcome is a failure. In the past ten years or even decades, the Yan family has done too many mistakes."

He turned his head and looked at Yan Zhuo and smiled, "You are the child I raised. I am confident that you will not be a little worse than the child Luo Jiang raised, but... your father is not Luo Tianen, so everything will be different..."

"...... Many times, we can strive to win a better future than the present, but... most of the time, you cannot resist fate and follow the will of heaven. Perhaps our best choice..."
