Yuan Xing looked up at the sky and quickly ordered his guards to prepare meals.
When Ren Ning walked into the Chinese Army, he saw this scene.
Yuan Xing and Li Hebai were sitting next to a table of hot meals, looking at themselves strangely.
"Ren Ning has met General Yuan"
"That's annoying!" Yuan Xing's face was impatient and he waved his hand to interrupt him.
"It's not like we're not familiar with each other. I and He Bai have been busy all day and haven't eaten yet, so they don't have time to be polite to you."
"Come sit down and eat together."
"Yes!" Ren Ning knew what he was thinking, so she had no choice but to come over and sit down, dumbfounded.
"Brother-in-law," Li Hebai handed over the meal with a chuckle, "you must be hungry after a long day's journey. Don't say anything. Eat first and then talk."
"Okay! I am indeed hungry." Ren Ning nodded and picked up the rice.
After dinner,
The three of them changed rooms.
Li Hebai picked up the teapot and was about to make tea, but Yuan Xing reached out to stop him.
"What are you busy with? Let Ren Ning go take a bath."
Li Hezhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded with a smile.
"Yes. I heard that, brother-in-law, you learned tea art from General Wei. His tea is the most delicious. When I was in Nanfeng, I was lucky enough to have tea with General Yuan several times.
Tsk tsk!
He thought repeatedly, "Although the taste of the tea has been passed for several years, it still makes my mouth water and the aftertaste is endless."
"General Wei's tea making skills are indeed good." Yuan Xing nodded in agreement.
Ren Ning couldn't help wiping his sweat, "Of course General Wei's tea art is worth mentioning, but the problem is that I haven't learned much."
Besides, he was out leading troops to fight all day long and had no time to learn any tea art.
Despite this, Ren Ning picked up the teapot and boiled water to make tea.
Make tea.
Yuan Xing couldn't wait to take a bite and immediately frowned.
"Compared with General Wei's skills, Ren Ning, there is indeed a certain gap. You will have to continue to learn in the future."
Ren Ning could only nod in agreement.
Li Hezhu next to him said: "Brother-in-law, how is the family now? Is the child okay?"
"Everything is fine." Ren Ning grinned a little as he thought of Ren Zhan's appearance, "The child is white and fat, eats, sleeps, and loves to cry and make fuss. Both the doctor and the nanny said he is very healthy."
"That's good." Li Hebai breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Xing next to him counted the time and frowned.
"Your child shouldn't be one month old. If you don't stay at home at this time, what are you doing here at Zhennanguan?"
He had a strange look on his face, "Are you planning to invite us to have a full-moon wine party?"
"Of course not." Ren Ning shook his head.
Fortunately, Li Hebai said that he could still leave Zhennanguan as long as he got approval.
And Yuan Xing is a general guarding the pass. He will not leave the pass easily unless it is an urgent matter or if he does not make sufficient preparations in advance.
Otherwise, once discovered and reported by the prison police, it will be a felony.
Rushing to drink full moon wine is obviously not an example of this.
"General, please read this!" Ren Ning took out a piece of paper from somewhere and placed it in front of Yuan Xing.
"I want to tell General Yuan about the news that a large number of Japanese pirates appeared in Yunchuidonghai some time ago."
Yuan Xing nodded, "This matter has caused quite a stir, so I will naturally know about it!"
He took the note and browsed it quickly, and his face suddenly straightened.
Then he stood up, walked quickly to the hanging map, and silently stared at the location around Huayang County.
Ren Ning walked to him.
"The news that Japanese pirates appeared on a large scale along the Yunchui coast was spread everywhere by fishermen and caravans. Mo Canghai, the county commander along the coast, cried and asked for help. His Majesty and the Ministry of War had to respond."
Hum hum.
Yuan Xing suddenly sneered.
"Mo Canghai is shouting everywhere. He is hoping that the Beihai Customs, the East China Sea Barrier and the Central Army Corps will come to support him."
It's a pity that he can only be disappointed.
"Yes." Ren Ning nodded, "Although the person behind the scenes is wrong, I have to say that both the Beihai Customs and the Central Army Corps are mud that cannot be helped."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Ruinan Mountain south of Xingji City.
"Especially the Central Army Corps. When it was established, we originally expected it to be able to conquer the imperial capital of Xingji City and become Yunchui's last line of defense."
It is a pity that the Chengye Imperial City was defeated by the Imperial City. After all, the central army was too close to the Star City. Now it has become a hunting ground or gilding place for the royal family's children and high-ranking officials and nobles.
"Its combat power is estimated to be inferior to the local garrison led by Mo Canghai and Xia Bang."
boom!
Yuan Xing punched the wall heavily.
"What you said is conservative, it should be far worse."
Ren Ning was noncommittal and his eyes fell on the note he brought.
"The news is that the Minister of War, Guanyi, has written to His Majesty that Mo Canghai needs support, but the Central Army Corps cannot act rashly unless it is absolutely necessary. I guess"
Hearing this, Yuan Xing laughed loudly.
"The Minister of the Ministry of War in Guanyi knows very well that the Central Army Corps cannot stop the great use."
He changed his words, "So the task of supporting Huayang County will probably fall on me at the southern gate of Zhennan. Right?"
"Nine times out of ten." Ren Ning nodded.
Zhennan Pass has strong soldiers and horses, and Yuan Xing also has a large number of warships in addition to horses. It can be said that they are good at both land warfare and water warfare, and their combat power is far from comparable to that of the sluggish Beiguan Pass or the Central Army Corps.
More importantly, Nanfeng was destroyed, and now there is only one surviving prince left to fight with the surrounding small countries. In the short term, he will no longer be able to pose a threat to the southern border of Yunchui.
It can be said that the troops in Yuan Xing's hands have been doing nothing.
Guanyi wanted to make the best use of everything.
Hold!
Yuan Xing cursed fiercely.
He quickly measured the distance from Zhennanguan to Huayang County with his hand, frowning so much that he could almost kill a mosquito.
"It is our duty as soldiers to resist foreign enemies. There is nothing to say about this. It's just that the distance between the two places is too far."
It's even farther than the distance from Baekje Golden Dragon Beach to Huayang County.
Yuan Xing walked around in circles for several times, getting angrier and angrier.
"As the saying goes, water far away cannot resolve fire near. When civil unrest broke out in the four western counties of Laigu and Miwu, the Ministry of War had a whim and directly transferred the garrison from the eastern coast to quell the chaos. As a result, the Japanese pirates came ashore and plundered them.
.”
"Isn't this lesson profound enough?"
Although several small countries in the south are now fighting each other to the death, and on the surface they seem to have a life-or-death feud. But the most important thing between countries is that they have no interests.
As long as there are enough interests between the two countries, they can put aside any hatred no matter how great it is.
If the Zhennanguan garrison really left and headed north, they might take advantage of the opportunity and unite to attack northward.
By then, southern Xinjiang will be in chaos again.
The more Yuan Xing thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
He tapped the Baekje Peninsula on the map again.
"Is Lu Fuhai planning to stay in Baekje with the East China Sea Barrier and not coming back for the time being?"
"Absolutely." Ren Ning nodded slightly.
"When the East China Sea Barrier was at Jinlongtan, Japanese pirates burned a large number of ships, and General Lu made a mistake and lost the King of Qi. He always wanted to make up for his mistake, and at the same time, he also wanted to find the King of Qi first. So he kept dragging things here and there.
Willing to return."
"Damn it." Yuan Xing yelled, "Your Majesty is still alive, but everyone is thinking about following the merits of the dragon. Where do they put the responsibility of soldiers to defend their homes and the country?"
