"No matter who this villain is in your mouth, it can never be Big Brother." Lan Daoxing said calmly, "Big Brother and I have been through life and death on the battlefield many times, and I absolutely believe in his character. Even if he is gone now, I

I will never allow you to speak nonsense and slander my elder brother."

Lan Xiangzi always respected his second brother Lan Daoxing very much, but now he was scolded by him in person and had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

At this time, the three incense sticks in the incense burner had been quietly burned out. Lan Daoxing turned around and said, "Why did you come to see me?"

Lan Xiangzi stood up from the futon and said, "It's time for the boys to be trained. If you didn't show up, they asked me to come look for you."

"I'll be right over." Lan Daoxing took one last look at the portrait on the wall, sighed deeply, and followed Lan Xiangzi out.

Lan Qiao tugged on Bai Xueyin's sleeve and whispered, "Let's follow over and have a look." After saying that, he jumped off the beam like a civet cat and followed quietly out of the door. He saw Lan Daoxing and Lan Xiangzi taking a boat together.

, left the dock and looked north.

In order not to attract attention, Lan Qiao pulled Bai Xueyin to jump up to the ridge of the roof, climb over the eaves and walls, and hang from the ceilings of various bamboo buildings behind Lan Daoxing's boat. Lan Daoxing obviously had something on his mind, and kept his head down silently all the way.

Arriving in the north of the city, the originally narrow waterway suddenly opened up, and the endless rows of bamboo buildings were interrupted. Lan Qiao and Bai Xueyin lay on the roof of the last bamboo building and looked north, and they saw a large area

A "land" surrounded by lakes.

This is a square piece of land, which should have been filled in the center of the lake by artificially piling earth and rocks. It is five to six hundred paces long and three to four hundred paces wide. Not to mention training soldiers, it is more than enough for horse racing.

"Such a large Fangzhou is enough to train an army of thousands of people." Lan Qiao pointed to the hundreds of small boats parked like comb teeth on the edge of the Fangzhou and exclaimed, "There are at least two to three thousand people."

But at this time, Fangzhou was full of soldiers. The soldiers were all wearing heavy armor, holding halberds and strong shields. Under the command of the flag order, they changed into left-wing formations one after another.

The setting sun shone down, reflecting the dazzling cold light on the soldiers' armor, and the orderly queue made people shudder.

Lan Daoxing climbed onto an earthen platform in Fangzhou and personally directed the soldiers to conduct various tactical drills, as if this army hidden deep in the Jedi could go to the battlefield tomorrow.

Lan Qiao first explained the identities of Lan Daoxing and Lan Xiangzi to Bai Xueyin, and then said with a solemn expression, "My father has repeatedly praised my second uncle for his good military training. This Jedi master trained by him will definitely make a difference on the battlefield in the future."

play a decisive role.”

Bai Xueyin said in confusion, "But they only have a few thousand people."

"Soldiers are more valuable than their elite." Lan Qiao explained with a smile, "In matters such as marching and fighting, efficiency is always the first priority. They consume less food, pay and baggage, and have stronger execution and mobility.

Sophisticated equipment, high morale, mature tactics, and excellent combat command can all make up for the shortage of soldiers. There are countless cases in history where a small number of people have defeated a large number, and a few thousand people are enough to stir up huge waves."

Bai Xueyin said nervously, "Then we should immediately tell the young Marquis and the others what we saw in Chushui City."

Lan Qiao knew that she was worried about the long nights and dreams in Chushui City, so he reassured her, "Chushui City's defenses are tight. Even if we want to leave before dark, we won't be able to leave, not to mention that Senior Brother Hua is still in the hands of the enemy."

Bai Xueyin glanced at Lan Qiao warily and said, "Then what do you want to do now?"

Lan Qiao smiled half-heartedly and said, "I want to kill Lan Daoxing."

"Stop joking." Bai Xueyin's expression changed and she said, "You know this is impossible."

"Of course I know it's impossible, so I can only think about it." Lan Qiao laughed loudly, pointed to a corner of Fangzhou and said, "Look, isn't that the young master who met the court just now?"

"You scared me to death." Bai Xueyin glared at him and looked in the direction of his finger. Sure enough, he saw a dozen boys and girls practicing swordsmanship in a corner of Fangzhou.

The "Brother Jianting" mentioned by Xiaolei and Wan'er is the most conspicuous. He is dressed in white and dances like a dragon flying through the sky. The other boys and girls also use the bamboo swords in their hands to dance with ease.

There is a certain pattern, and there is a degree of progress and retreat.

Lan Qiao looked at it in admiration and said, "I didn't expect that An Xiaohan was not only good at martial arts, but also knew how to develop a city. Just looking at the details of how he vigorously cultivated talents, we can tell that he would never be willing to be trapped in this deserted place for the rest of his life.

middle."

Bai Xueyin said worriedly, "He has the help of White Lotus Sect, Erqihui and Mongolian masters outside, and he has masters like Lan Daoxing who are well versed in the art of war on the inside. He only needs to wait until King Yan and Emperor Jianwen are fighting hard."

Lan Qiao said solemnly, "If I were An Xiaohan, once the main forces of King Yan and Jianwen were contained on the Shandong battlefield, I could take the opportunity to settle in Yueyang first, and then advance into Jingzhou. On the one hand, I would send people to contact the remnants of the Mongols, and on the other hand, I would pass through

The waterway flows down the river, and the troops are directed towards the capital."

"Will this kind of thing really happen?" Bai Xueyin guessed, "Didn't King Yan already surround Jinan City? Once Jinan City falls, Shandong will be completely in the hands of King Yan."

"It would be best if we can capture Jinan." Lan Qiao said with concern, "But if the King of Yan cannot capture Jinan, Shandong will definitely have another melee. At that time, it will be a good opportunity for these people with ulterior motives to cause trouble."

"Then what should we do?" Bai Xueyin looked at Lan Qiao in confusion, "Do you really want to attack your second uncle?"

"Just saying casually, even if the second uncle is alone, we may not be able to kill him." Lan Qiao spread his hands and said, "But seeing the scene in front of me, I also thought of another clever plan."

Bai Xueyin hurriedly asked, "What's the clever idea?"

Lan Qiao looked at the training ground on Fangzhou and said proudly, "If you have an army, you must have food. Now the elites of Chushui City are gathered here. If we can find the granary where they store food and grass, and set a fire, what do you think?"

what happens"

"You want to set fire to the food," Bai Xueyin gasped, "but can we escape afterwards?"

"Who is going to escape?" Lan Qiao was even more proud when he said this. He couldn't help but shake his head. "I'm killing two birds with one stone. When the granary catches fire, there will be chaos in their city. We can just take the opportunity to rescue Senior Brother Hua."

Bai Xueyin came to some understanding after what he said, but she still said doubtfully, "Even if most of their elites are gathered at the training ground, it doesn't mean that the granary is neglected to defend. As long as they send a few people to stand guard at high places,

We were discovered as we approached, so how could we set fire to it?”

"Usually at times like this, the role of beauty comes into play." Lan Qiao stared at Bai Xueyin's pretty face and showed a meaningful smile, "Remember what I told you just now, Zuodao sent a batch
