It can be said that from the very beginning, Wanjun has been preparing for this battle.

Lucheng County is located right at the throat of the south. Li Shun's defeated troops and the Manchu attacking troops will pass through here. This is a life-or-death battle.

After listening to Wan Jun's words, Gui Dongliang and Wang Lihui were much calmer than Zhao Boyuan.

Wan Jun asked, "How are the heroes group and officer training group?"

Gui Dongliang said, "It's done."

Wan Jun nodded, "Okay, you can recruit some people and come with me to Danfeng in three days. The newly formed regiments will also go together, and they will all go to Danfeng for training."

Then he said to Wang Lihui, "I heard that Danfeng is rich in copper and iron. After we go to Danfeng, we will build a new firearms manufacturing place. Please bring more craftsmen!"

The two asked for some more details and then took the order.

After a while, Li Youfu led Chen Bajiao and several officers in.

Wan Jun said to Chen Bajiao, "You are familiar with Xichuan. Chen Bajiao will be in charge this time. You go to Xichuan to assist the third regiment and ensure the stability of the entire Xichuan."

Chen Bajiao is an old Jianghu, so he felt something, "Sir, are you planning some big move? Why don't you take me, Old Chen, with you?"

Wan Jun smiled and said, "There will be a report on this matter in the next two days. For now, just prepare according to my arrangements!"

After making arrangements, Li Youfu led Tian Chaoqun and several officers in. Wan Jun made arrangements for everything after leaving Lucheng County. Tian Chaoqun and several other local generals were responsible for the defense of Lucheng County.

By the time Wanjun had made arrangements for everything in Lucheng County, it was already dark and the days were getting shorter.

Wan Jun came out of the room and took a breath. There was a chill in the wind. Wan Jun looked at the starry sky habitually, but tonight the sky was pitch black without any stars.

When he returned to his room to rest, Wan Jun saw Zhang Xiaoyan sitting in the hall outside the room, holding her head and looking sideways at a lamp in front of her in a daze. The candle flickered a few times, and the dim light reflected in the room.

On her face, light and shadow carved out the figure of a beautiful girl.

Wan Jun walked in and said, "Why don't you rest yet? Looking at the candlelight hurts your eyes."

Zhang Xiaoyan looked at the candlelight, "Look at how beautiful the light of this candlelight is. No wonder moths want to fly into the flame."

Wan Jun said, "But it's winter now, where do the moths come from?"

Zhang Xiaoyan raised her head and looked at Wan Jun, "Yes, it's winter and there are no moths. How lonely it is without moths to accompany the candlelight!"

Wan Jun couldn't help but slandered in his heart, "Women, you see everything with eyes in heat."

Wan Jun came closer and patted Zhang Xiaoyan on the head, "You, the people outside are freezing to death, but you are here thinking about all this nonsense."

The hot emotion in Zhang Xiaoyan's eyes dimmed a little, "Is your lord going to leave soon? I heard from Changle that your lord is going to Danfeng."

Wan Jun said nothing, "Well, let's go after the day after tomorrow. How about Changle?"

Chang Le was a girl picked up by Wan Jun. Zhang Xiaoyan happened to be very lonely in the house, so she asked Chang Le to accompany Zhang Xiaoyan.

"You are so busy, but fortunately I have Changle with me. You can tell me many adult things every day."

"How long will you be leaving, sir?" Zhang Xiaoyan asked.

Wan Jun thought for a while, "It will probably take a while."

Zhang Xiaoyan said, "I know that you are going to the north to fight against the bandits and barbarians. Changle told me."

Wan Jun didn't know what to say, and the room became deserted for a while, with only the candlelight flickering from time to time.

Zhang Xiaoyan turned sideways again, supported her head, looked at the candlelight, and said dreamily, "

The wind and snow in the north are cold, please remember to dress warmly."

As he spoke, a crystal teardrop rolled down Zhang Xiaoyan's face under the light, "I heard that the Hu people's soldiers and horses are very cruel, and both humans and horses like to eat strangers."

"Who did you listen to?"

"I also heard that the heads of barbarians are all green. If you hit them with a knife, they will bounce off. You must be careful!"

Wan Jun sat down and said, "Don't listen to Changle's nonsense. I have seen Hu people. They are not three-headed and six-armed. They are similar to us. They just have more cavalry and run faster. When fighting with us Han people, they have the faster speed."

Advantage, when we have more firearms soldiers, we won't be afraid of those barbarian cavalry!"

"Really?"

"Yes, we still have grenades. When our technology develops in the future, we can get some volley guns!"

Zhang Xiaoyan suddenly listened carefully with big eyes. Wan Jun told her about machine guns, missiles, and stars in the sky.

Seeing Wan Jun's calm expression, Xiaoyan finally felt relieved and said with a smile while crying, "Sir, come with me for a walk!"

Wan Jun then pulled her into the yard. Zhang Xiaoyan looked up at the sky and said in despair, "There are no stars tonight!"

Wan Jun said, "Well, it's all covered by clouds. The weather is cold. It's probably going to snow again."

Zhang Xiaoyan said, "That's fine. There has been a drought for so long in the summer, and if there is more snow in the winter, the people will not be without food next year."

The two of them sat in the yard for a while, with the cold wind blowing from time to time, but Zhang Xiaoyan was completely unaware of it and asked Wan Jun something casually from time to time.

Wan Jun knew in his heart that this little girl would not be interested in military affairs, firearms, etc. She just wanted to talk to him for a while.

Suddenly, something in the night gently brushed against Wan Jun's face, a small piece of cold ice, and then another piece.

Zhang Xiaoyan said in surprise, "It's snowing!"

But Wan Jun couldn't laugh. It snowed again and the weather became even colder. The original warm clothes were probably no longer enough. The road to Danfeng the day after tomorrow was probably even more difficult to walk.

Zhang Xiaoyan turned her head and said to Wan Jun with a smile, "I want to stay with you in the snow for a while, do you know why?"

Wan Jun put away his other thoughts, looked at the girl and said, "Why?"

Zhang Xiaoyan said, "That way I can grow old together with you!"

After saying that, Zhang Xiaoyan lowered her head shyly, and Wan Jun raised his hand to touch Zhang Xiaoyan's face, "Look at you, your little face is already freezing cold. Let's go back to the house quickly."

Zhang Xiaoyan said coquettishly, "No, no, my head is not white yet!"

Wan Jun had no choice but to stay with Zhang Xiaoyan in the courtyard for half the night. It wasn't until Zhang Xiaoyan felt sleepy that they went back to their rooms to rest.

On the second day, Zhao Boyuan sent someone to invite Wan Jun. Zhao Boyuan had already negotiated with Wang Lihui and several blacksmiths about the establishment of Wulipu Firearms Company. After calculating the profits that could be obtained from the firearms production in the future, several blacksmiths

He almost laughed like a pig. In order to play a good leading role, Zhao Boyuan thought about asking Wan Jun to write calligraphy!

Wan Jun asked Li Youfu to pass on the order, and each regiment began to prepare for departure. After Wan Jun returned from Wulipu, the last departure meeting was held.

Wan Jun led his people to Wulipu, where Nian Liming and others were already waiting on the road.

Wan Jun was about to go on an expedition and things were busy. Zhao Boyuan asked people to prepare pens, ink and paper. Wan Jun was not polite and wrote down, "China's No. 1 Arsenal".

When Nian Liming and others met, their minds changed. The first arsenal, who is second? Who is third?

Nian Liming took the lead and said, "Thank you for the calligraphy treasure, sir. I am willing to pay one hundred taels of silver to buy it."

Shen Jing and Ding Gui immediately shouted, "

Two hundred taels!"

"Three hundred taels"

Nian Mingli gritted his teeth and said, "Five hundred taels!"

After Shen Jing and Ding Gui discussed it, the two families pooled together eight hundred taels, and finally won the "China's No. 1 Arsenal" sign.

Wan Jun never thought that his unsightly calligraphy would one day be sold for hundreds of taels, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

Later, the rocket launcher was inscribed "Chinese weapon" and the Hanwei cannon was inscribed "Barbarian cannon".

After hastily writing the inscription in Wulipu, Wan Jun took Zhao Boyuan back to Lucheng. Cui Ziyi, Chang Jian, He Chuyi, Chen Bajiao and other generals had been waiting at the county government for a long time.

After the troops were seated, they got straight to the point, "The army will go to Danfeng in two days. This battle is crucial. If it fails, the enemy will move south from Wuguan, and our army will only rely on Lucheng County, so there is no way to survive. So, In this battle, we can only win, not lose!"

Wanjun has been preparing for this battle for so long, and all the generals know the importance of the matter.

Zhao Boyuan said directly, "Sir, we all understand, please give the order directly!"

Wan Jun nodded, "I have discussed with many of you yesterday. Lucheng left a regiment to guard after leaving Fushui Pass, and all troops were gathered in Danfeng."

"Zhao Boyuan!"

Zhao Boyuan stood up solemnly, "Here you are!"

"This time, you will be in charge of all affairs behind the army. I can rest assured that you are with me."

Zhao Boyuan was obsessed with military affairs and always wanted to go to the battlefield and lead troops to fight. Since Wan Jun said so, there was nothing he could do. After all, it was a battle of life and death for the Chinese army. "Zhao Boyuan takes the order!"

Wan Jun smiled at Zhao Boyuan and nodded. Zhao Boyuan was Wan Jun's most important help.

"Tian Chaoqun!"

"The end is here!"

"You are from Lucheng County. You will lead a regiment to defend Fushui Pass. You must ensure that there is no trouble in the rear of our army!"

"Take your orders!"

"Chen Bajiao!"

"Sir, the general is here!"

"You lead a regiment of heroes to Xichuan and assist the third regiment in defending Xichuan. You will be responsible for training the other two regiments in Xichuan."

"The last general takes command!"
