First, an elite cavalry force of two thousand people escorted a convoy loaded with property to the southeast.
Then five thousand Lijun Qingqi escorted an extremely large and luxurious carriage with a huge frame pulled by four horses heading east.
The huge carriage seemed to be made of fine iron. It was as black as ink and covered with fine patterns. The interior of the carriage was three or four times the size of an ordinary carriage. The ground and surroundings were wrapped with several layers of blankets made of fine mink velvet.
You can hardly feel the collision caused by the bumps of the vehicle, and it is so warm and comfortable that you will be fascinated by it.
There were four people sitting in the carriage. In addition to Luo Chuan, who was leaning on a corner holding a map and thinking, there were also Siqi and the young female Tao each occupying a corner. The shadow squatted beside Luo Chuan, like a stone sculpture.
Siqi was holding a military book and reading it but didn't turn a page for a long time. When the carriage bumped and tilted again, she finally couldn't help but ask, "You really don't think about using those three thousand war horses?"
Take away together? Three thousand war horses and three thousand armor. As long as we draw 3,000 elite infantry from each army and train a little bit, we will have 8,000 Lijun Qingqi, 8,000! Who dares to Qingqi in this southwest Hanzhou?
To provoke him?"
"Now I only have five thousand Lijun Qingqi, how many people in Southwest Hanzhou dare to challenge them?" Luo Chuan said without raising his head, "Now is not the time to expand Lijun Qingqi, but draw elites from all armies.
It's easy to do, but if you really do it, it will inevitably damage the combat effectiveness of all armies in the short term. This is something that three thousand Lijun Qingqi can never make up for. Besides, do you think it is a waste to leave those three thousand horses to Li Mu? As long as you continue
After surviving next spring, when the current Sancang Land and Anling Land will feed back our southern battlefield, these three thousand war horses will already be three thousand cavalry that can withstand the test of war."
Siqi sighed, and after a long while he said again, "Eight thousand Lijun Qingqi..."
Luo Chuan looked up at Siqi and said angrily, "Read your military book carefully, Commander Siqi, otherwise Uncle Jiang will have your palms swollen again when you return to Licheng."
Siqi glanced sideways at Luochuan and said, "If you give me ten blood cavalry for real, I will definitely be able to earn enough military merit to become a hundred generals after the battle south to Yongchang is over!"
Luochuan did not respond to her, but just looked down at the map, "This battle is no joke. Judging from the latest intelligence, the crazy old man in Yicheng is probably really crazy. Judging from the scale of his military ration reserve, he is probably going to launch a war."
A large-scale counterattack is likely to face huge pressure at multiple points. Uncle Zhao has led the army south to the line between Zhengcang and Tongcang City, but even with the addition of Lijun Qingqi, in terms of numbers,
We are still at a disadvantage. I was too optimistic before. If Su Yiming hadn't persuaded Han Feng in time this time, maybe not only Nancheng would lose Jingzhi's Cangyan Army, but also Tongcang City would suffer heavy losses.
If we spit it out again, we will be in big trouble if it reaches that point, so this time... I won't underestimate anyone."
He raised his head and looked at Siqi and said seriously, "Qianxue once told me when I first entered the Fourth Realm not to be too inflated. Now I want to tell you that it is true that the skyrocketing power after entering the Fourth Realm will make people feel stronger than their abilities.
self-confidence, but you have to remember that it is probably just an illusion. If you from the third realm are facing off against any of the hundreds of generals from the third realm in Baitong City, your head may have been lost at the moment when the cavalry charges cross each other!
"
Si Qi was silent for a while before saying, "But if I just stay by your side serving tea and pouring water, then I will never be able to become a qualified general in my lifetime..."
Luo Chuan was startled, and then he felt a little irritable in his heart. He couldn't help but said bluntly, "If you can't make it, you can't make it. So what if you become a qualified general? Maybe if you devote yourself to practice, you will become Lu Zu after a hundred years."
Siqi curled his lips, but seeing that Luo Chuan's expression was dull, he didn't say anything more and quietly lowered his head to read.
On the other side, the young woman who had been following Luo Chuan for some time silently like a shadow suddenly said, "That Han Feng... is actually a very determined person."
Luo Chuan raised his head and glanced at the young female Taoist, and pondered over what she had said before for a while before asking, "Do you think this person has an ulterior motive for defecting to Li County?"
"I don't know," the young female Taoist shook her head, "I only know that this person is essentially similar to some of the things that my Cangyan lineage pursues, but many of us have acquired it through acquired cultivation, and
This man... was born that way."
Luochuan was thoughtful.
The young female Taoist continued, "Not everyone can decisively choose to surrender without falling into a completely desperate situation. Even if it is rationally the best choice at the moment, most people will never be able to do it, let alone his
Behind this decision is a bet on the nine hundred years of management and hard work of the entire Han family."
"Understood," Luo Chuan nodded solemnly, and then sighed softly, "Gan Yuan is a place where not many people can do whatever they want. There are many constraints there. It's okay to let him go there, but the ANBU needs to give him more
s concern."
Shadow nodded.
The motorcade moved forward at a very slow speed. When it was getting dark and the large group of people were camping outside a town, Luochuan sent someone to call over the young man who was presiding over daily affairs in the town, because his name was
Dou Bingzhang.
In the central tent, Luo Chuan stood in front of the map and meditated. The young man who was led in by Siqi had to stand quietly behind him. After an unknown period of time, Luo Chuan turned around and saw the young man.
When he was in person, he was even confused for a moment before he remembered that he had indeed asked Siqi to bring him in before.
"Dou Bingzhang," Luo Chuan smiled gently at the young man and asked as he walked back to the chair in the middle of the tent and sat down, "What do you call Dou Qiushi?"
The young man bowed respectfully to Luochuan and then stood up again and said openly, "When you return to the prefect, you should not call Lord Dou uncle."
Luo Chuan nodded and said, "You used to be the chief writer of Cangyan Treasurer's office, but you were sent back to the family because of me. Do you have any resentment?"
The young man bowed and said, "The prefect acted impartially and without any resentment. In fact, what Cangyan Sanmaggot did was unknown to others. It was just... just cowardice."
"After meeting Dou Qiushi in Licheng, I actually carefully read the Anbu's information on the Dou family. It is quite interesting from ancient times to the present. One of them mentioned that you, Dou Bingzhang, was also passionate and fought, but in the end this world did not exist.
I just want to give you a fair result." Luo Chuan picked up the pen and wrote something on a few cases, "It seems that it is not easy to send people from the city to the north this time, so Dou Qiushi sent you here again?"
The young man shook his head and said, "I heard about this from other brothers in the clan and asked my uncle for permission."
"Since you are here because Dou Qiushi agreed, why wouldn't he give you a job?" Luo Chuan asked again.
The young man said, "If you are not talented, you will be punished. According to the law, you cannot be given any more positions."
"If that's the case, why did you take such a risk to come to this northern land?" Luo Chuan asked.
The young man said, "Do something that will make your son straighten his chest when talking about it in the future."
Luo Chuan raised his head and glanced at the young man, who had a face as dull as Dou Qiushi's. He lowered his head and put the written letter into the envelope and sealed it, "Use the official channels available to you now to send this letter.
Send it to Dou Qiushi for me, no rush."
The young man didn't say any nonsense, simply took the envelope, saluted and left.
"This Dou family is really interesting..." After Luo Chuan murmured to himself, he turned to ask the shadow that appeared in his tent at some time, "When we get to Liangcang City, we can
Have you met him? On the way from Ganyuan to the north, did you catch...Meng Qishui?!"
