There are two large cities on the southern frontier of Anyang County that cannot be broken.
The one located in the far south is called Nankou City, because here, the originally continuous mountains of southern Xinjiang are interrupted for more than a hundred miles, just like a hole in the most majestic natural south city wall in Central Continent, which is the entire defense line.
occupy an important position.
The other one is Shuanglong City.
Ssangyong City is located to the north of the mountains in Nanjiang, Anyang County. It is located behind the first and second lines of defense in the mountains and is the most important place for logistical support.
But now, the Nanyi beast tide has arrived at Shuanglong City and besieged the city for a month.
This marked the complete collapse of the two lines of defense in the mountains in the western part of Anyang County, and also made Shuanglong City, a large city that had never faced the impact of a beast tide in nine hundred years, become the latest front line for Anyang County to face the Nanyi.
Fortunately, there is one person in the city who will appear on time and walk on the city wall every day, so that the people in the city will not despair and panic.
He is the famous human general Wei Changhe who has commanded the southern defense line of Anyang County for decades.
On this day, the heavy rain had just stopped, and Wei Changhe, who was wearing a pitch-black array pattern armor, climbed up the south city wall as usual, except that besides the soldiers, there was a young man wearing gray and white uniforms beside him. The young man and Wei
Changhe walked side by side on the city wall, looking indifferent.
Wei Changhe walked slowly and steadily along the wall stacks. While looking at the dense herd of animals outside the city, he said to the young man beside him, "You are somewhat reckless in taking the risk this time. As you think, Anyang County really needs it now."
Someone from the Yan family has stepped forward to boost morale, but that person should not be you. Even if your father is forced to agree in a short time due to the current situation, over time this matter will become a bad impression of you in his mind.
, after all, you still have several brothers."
"It's been so many days. Why haven't Zhuo'er given those brothers a chance to express themselves? It's just that they still don't want to leave Ancheng after all. It's futile to wait any longer." The indifferent young man was the one who had been with Luo Chuan
The young master Yan Zhuo, who we had met once, said, "What's more, the war in southern Xinjiang is not going well and the second line of defense has been lost. There have been unfavorable discussions in the court. If I don't come, I won't be able to do it."
Know what it’s going to be like.”
"Chaotang?" Wei Changhe laughed loudly and said, "Why should you care about the comments of the scholars above the court? They are just a bunch of rats." He stopped, stretched out his hand and patted the tall and thick wall of Shuanglong City.
"I was already at the age when I was ready to retire and retire, but now I was invited by your father to take charge of southern Xinjiang. I told him before heading south to Shuangyong City that if the western defense line is broken, the second line of defense will definitely not be able to hold on.
Yes, people south of the Yuan River have been evacuating north since last winter. Now there is only a solitary Nankou City standing south of the Yuan River. Soon... Nankou City will also be lost."
Wei Changhe sighed softly and looked at Yan Zhuo, "Do you think your father doesn't know these things? He knows it, but he still has to look angry no matter what in the court. He needs to give an explanation to the people.
.”
He looked at Yan Zhuo's slightly shocked eyes and smiled gently and said slowly, "You should have guessed that this explanation can only come from me, Wei Changhe."
"How can this be so?!" Yan Zhuo grabbed Wei Changhe's arm and said quickly, "If grandpa is on the southern front, we can still keep Shuanglong City's third line of defense at Yuanhe, and most of Anyang County's
The land can still be safe. If even grandpa...then who can ensure that this third line of defense will not be broken like the first two lines of defense? Once the third line of defense is broken, Nanyi will
But we can drive straight into the vast central plains that are ravaging Anyang County, and there is no danger to defend the city of Anyang!!"
"Don't underestimate young people. Wasn't my grandpa the same age when he arrived in southern Xinjiang? Wei Changhe will finally build an unbreakable third line of defense for Anyang County, and then choose a new general for it, Nanyi
Going north? Why refuse..." Wei Changhe reached out and patted Yan Zhuo's hand, "Zhuoer, at this age, what is there that grandpa can't let go of? It's just you and your mother.
, after I leave, your mother will become the only lady in Anyang County, plus I have left a few military people who can be used overtly and covertly for you, I have nothing to worry about. "
Seeing what Yan Zhuo wanted to say, he smiled and waved his hand and said, "How much I value you, I can't be so childish." He reached out and patted Yan Zhuo's head, then turned around and continued walking forward.
"Originally, I hoped that you could come to southern Xinjiang and do something on the third line of defense. But since the young prefect who left the county during the Lunar New Year sent someone here, I actually feel that more opportunities may be there.
In the north, the current two-strong pattern of Hanzhou in Southwest China has been established. Originally, if there was no disaster in southern Xinjiang, our Anyang County might be able to take advantage of the situation, but now... we can only make a choice."
"The Yun family in Guang County was our only choice. The Yun family and the Yan family have always been on good terms for many years, but the ruthless Yun Bailou chose to attack Hanoi County. Your father and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are very likely to be affected.
Ba then no longer trusted that family. Instead, Luo Chuan, who had just ascended the throne, could avenge his father. Because love and righteousness became a possible choice, that was why he had that covenant. Of course, there were also quite a few
The reason is that Lijun is farther away from us after all. If we can form an alliance with Lijun, it will be beneficial to our war situation in southern Xinjiang, and it can also deter Guangjun from easily thinking about attacking us."
Wei Changhe suddenly smiled, "Everything in the world is unpredictable. Who would have thought that the little guy who was worried about the safety of his return home half a year ago could become a key figure in the situation of a state in such a short period of time...
"
"Grandpa is saying that I can have more contact with people from Luochuan, and then go... to the north?" Yan Zhuo looked thoughtful, then raised his head and asked, "Cucheng?!"
Wei Changhe nodded approvingly and affirmed, "It's Chu City," he said slowly with his hands behind his back, "Chu City is located in the Yashui Hetao, across the water from Guangjun Baocheng. You only need to cross the Yahe River to get there.
Log in anywhere in the south of Guang County, but... Chucheng has the only naval force in Anyang County."
"Grandpa wants me to control that navy?" Yan Zhuo said in surprise, "That navy is not to mention compared to other counties in Jiangzhou, even today's navy in Guang County is far behind us...
.”
"It doesn't matter if the gap is big, the important thing is... Lijun doesn't have a navy," Wei Changhe smiled and looked to the west, "Lijun has more than 300,000 elite troops, but there is no navy.
It's okay to be defeated in Sanqiong County, but as long as he wants to go further, the navy is the first problem to be solved. There are no warships, no navy, and no generals who are familiar with navy affairs. This is Luochuan's
He will definitely face a dilemma in the future, and you...maybe 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 that after saying so much, it's just a contingency preparation." Wei Changhe looked outside the city. There, a large human army led by cavalry and followed by elite infantry came out of the city.
The crowd poured out of the door, beating the cold and tired beasts to pieces, and then headed east. "I have thought that if you force your father to give way to you, would Anyang County be able to find a place in this troubled world?"
You can take the initiative and make repeated deductions, but no matter what, the final outcome is failure. In the past ten or even decades, the Yan family has done too many wrong things."
He turned his head and looked at Yan Zhuo and said with a smile, "You are the child I raised. I am confident that you will not be any worse than the child raised by Luo Jiang, but... your father is not Luo Tianen.
Then everything is different..."
"...Many times, we can fight to win a better future than the present, but...most of the time, you can't fight fate, and obeying fate may be our best choice.
