The meeting lasted until it was time to turn on the lights.
Specific operational ideas were distributed the next day.
Ren Ning took it and saw that his task was quite simple.
The first is to set up windmill communications from Beihaiguan to Jinlongtan where Xiao Zheng was guarding, and to open up a land road between the two.
Ren Ning blinked.
There is almost no difficulty in this task.
At present, only the eastern part of the entire peninsula, more than a hundred miles away, has been captured by Japanese pirates. The central part and the western part connecting Yunchui are still under the control of King Baekje.
Even when the forward battalion arrived at Beiguan, Chu Jinding had already sent people to widen the road to Jinlongtan.
The second one met with the King of Baekje, reminding him and asking him to tell all the people of Baekje that this war was a war of genocide.
Let all of them give up taking chances. If they don't resist or don't resist resolutely, the country will be destroyed.
No one can save them.
Ren Ning nodded.
It seems that his words at the meeting still have some effect.
Wei Junqian's meaning is very clear.
Not only do they who come for reinforcements need to know why this war is being fought, but the masters like Baekje also need to understand what this war means to them.
March 3rd is the day when the clouds hang down, the flowers are blooming and the sky is filled with kites.
Ren Ning was about to lead people east when Lei Er and Xiao Gang both rushed to Beiguan.
Looking at Lei Er's cheerful expression, Ren Ning smiled: "How is it, you got a wife?"
"Married." Lei Er smiled a little silly, "She has been waiting for almost three years. If I hadn't listened to you and rushed back in time, we might have been destined..."
He kept talking about his story for a long time before he finished.
"My parents were nostalgic for the past, but they still stayed in Xingluo's hometown and refused to leave. So I had her escorted to Guangxin County."
Ren Ning nodded, "Your Zhuangzi fields and everything are placed with Guangxin, and my younger siblings will take over just in time."
"When she gets to Guangxin, someone will naturally take care of her."
Lei Er nodded, "That's the best."
Ren Ning chatted with him for a few more words before his eyes fell on Xiao Gang.
"Looking at you, your mouth is about to burst from laughter. Can my little nephew speak?"
"How is that possible?" Mr. Xiao shook his head. "The child was just one month old when I left home."
Even so, the pride and happiness in Xiao Gang's eyes could not be concealed. "After the battle with Baekje, I think he will be able to speak."
Ren Ning smiled and nodded, "It will be time to go home with Uncle Xiao to enjoy our family."
Ha ha.
"That's right." Xiao Gang was even more happy, "Speaking of which, my father doesn't know he has a grandson..."
As he was about to set off, he stopped talking nonsense and said, "General, my sister-in-law has left Star City and headed south as planned without attracting anyone's attention."
"That's good." Ren Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
The forward battalion officially set off.
After entering Baekje, Xiao Gang took his fifth forward battalion directly to Jinlongtan by land, both to announce the good news and to provide assistance.
The Xingluo soldiers were already familiar with setting up the communication windmill, so there was no need for Ren Ning to take action.
However, he is still too young. As the saying goes, nothing can be done without words, so it would not be easy for him to persuade the King of Baekje.
So Ren Ning discussed with Wei Junqian, and he and Lei Er led 3,000 troops to the capital of Baekje, and safely sent the most eloquent military advisor of the Starfall Army into the city.
"General, three thousand people are too many." Ren Ning wiped his sweat.
The strategist of the Starfall Legion is not a weak scholar, he can also ride a horse on the battlefield.
It would be enough for hundreds or even dozens of people to take him to the capital of Baekje on horseback.
The more people there are, the slower it goes.
Wei Junqian glared at Ren Ning, "What are you talking about? The military order is like a mountain. I will ask you to take it with you."
Ren Ning had no choice but to accept the order.
In addition to escorting the military advisor, he also had another task, which was to draw a map of Baekje, and then come back and pile it into a sand table for the reference of Wei Junqian and the other generals.
Three thousand people headed east, the road was winding and difficult, and the heavy snow was melting, so they couldn't go any faster.
Lei Er shook his head, "This road really reminds me of Mist County when I sent the soul back home three years ago."
Although one is in a swamp and the other is in a mountainous area, both roads are equally bad and in disrepair.
"Yes." Ren Ning nodded in agreement.
Although the King of Baekje divided the peninsula into dozens of counties like Unjue, the entire peninsula combined was about the same size as the ordinary counties in Unjue.
With the roads in such a small place being built like this, I guess the officials in Baekje are just as bad as the governor of Sawu County three years ago.
Three thousand people walked until the end of March, and the capital of Baekje finally appeared in front of them in the distance.
After receiving the news, King Li Chengde of Baekje led his people to welcome him fifty miles away.
When he saw the fiery red flag blocking the falling stars with one sword and one sword, he even smiled.
"It turns out that Ren Ning was appointed general and became famous in the first battle at Nanfeng. I have admired him for a long time."
He looked at Ren Ning up and down, with admiration and envy flashing in his eyes, "The Starfall Legion is indeed extraordinary, and heroes emerge from youth everywhere..."
Li Chengde flattered him loudly.
What he said in Yun Chui's language was good, at least Ren Ning could understand it, so he replied a few words in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Although Li Chengde was unhappy, he did not dare to show it, and finally they were received into the city respectfully.
Ren Ning didn't take much rest, so he led the team up to the top of the city and walked around.
The capital of Baekje is not too short, but it is more shabby than the capital of Nanfeng before it was conquered.
Ren Ning looked around and saw that the city wall was damaged everywhere.
Although it was patched up hastily, it was obviously not done with much care.
Ren Ning looked at the traces coldly, then suddenly took out his saber and stabbed it, and with a whoosh, a large piece of mud and stone fell off.
boom!
In front of the Baekje city guarding general's face, he kicked him hard again.
Wow.
Amidst the flying dust and smoke, another piece of the city wall fell off.
Ren Ning stopped checking and walked down the city wall expressionlessly.
"That kid is so arrogant, who is he?" Baekje dialect could be heard faintly from behind.
"Ren Ning, the forward deputy of the Starfall Legion."
laugh.
All the Baekje soldiers couldn't help but shrink their necks, no one dared to hum again.
This man does have the arrogance.
The general defending the city of Baekje turned red and white, and suddenly roared loudly.
"What are you doing standing around like this? Why don't you build the city wall again quickly? I've said it before. If anyone tries to make more rubbish, I'll kill him!"
The matter of persuasion was left to the military advisor. Ren Ning left a hundred guards with him and left the city with the others.
There had been no fighting for some days, and Lei's hands were a little itchy: "General, should we go south or east?"
To the south is Jinlongtan, where Xiao Zheng is stationed. The distance is not too far, and there is a wide post road connecting the two places.
The east coast is more troublesome.
Not only is the journey long and difficult, but there are also a huge number of Japanese pirates.
Ren Ning raised his hand and pointed forward without hesitation: "To the east!"
"This..." Lei Er's face looked a little strange.
The Xingluo Army is the pinnacle of the Yunchui Empire. Since Emperor Changxing asked Xingluo to attack with all his troops, he obviously cared about Baekje or the King of Qi, Chen Xiuzhu, who was in Baekje.
Maybe he will be Yun Chui's next emperor.
As Ren Ning, since he has led troops here, he should go over and say hello. It’s like showing his face in front of his future boss.
But since Ren Ning wasn't planning to go to South Bank, Lei Er didn't care.
He chuckled, "I knew the general would choose the east."
"The Ping Japanese soldiers in the south are from the navy. They have experienced hundreds of battles and hate the Japanese pirates deeply. It should not be a problem to defend the small Jinlong Beach. The three thousand of us are just the icing on the cake."
"I really don't have much interest in this kind of thing that has no challenge."
Ren Ning glanced at him lightly and said, "That's embarrassing."
The group laughed loudly and then whipped their whips to the east.
There is also a plain near the capital of Baekje.
Looking around, there are people working hard on the gently undulating land everywhere.
Ren Ning secretly shook his head.
I don’t know whose hands the things grown by these people will end up in.
