Those who heard it subconsciously straightened their backs, including He Lingchuan, but everyone looked at a loss at the same time. Only General Nan Ke shouted: "Okay, okay! I think it's good!"
Wen Daolun couldn't help but laugh: "The general's plan is brilliant!"
General Nan Ke gave a thumbs up: "In this way, we don't have to wait for the order from Lord Bird, we can leave whenever we want. General Red is right, we don't want any of the choices they gave us!"
Zhong Shengguang glanced at him, with a smile in his eyes: "The idea is good, you can think about it carefully."
Zhao Xianhe couldn't help but said: "Wait a minute, didn't the Red General decide that we have to stay in the wilderness and cannot return to the country?" What does this mean?
Ling Chongshui had never dealt with him, so he stabbed him with strange anger: "So, Master Zhao, do you want to stay or go back?"
"My stay or leave will be decided by Commander Zhong." Zhao Xianhe raised his eyebrows, paused and said, "The capital secretly sent me a secret order, asking me to volunteer and lead the troops back east along the Jinxi Corridor.
After you return, you will be promoted to a higher position and enjoy great honors. I have already reported this matter to Mr. Zhong."
Ling Chongshui was furious: "The king still wants to repeat the old trick and take away one of our commanders and tens of thousands of elite soldiers?!"
The generals were equally angry.
The monarch did not want Zhong Shengguang to go back at all, but he also hoped that the elite soldiers trained in the northwest wilderness could be transferred back to the country to stabilize the country for him, so he sent a secret letter to Zhao Xianhe.
When everyone was denounced, Zhong Shengguang knocked on the table and said solemnly: "Okay, I have made up my mind."
As soon as these four words came out, everyone else fell silent. No one here could shake what Commander Zhong had decided.
No matter how many questions you have, you can only swallow them in your stomach.
"Just follow the Red General's plan."
Now that he had set a direction, the generals began to brainstorm around this and discuss various details.
It's really all kinds of things, no matter how big or small they are.
He Lingchuan listened carefully and realized how much preparation was needed to fight a war.
It's complicated beyond imagination.
War is just an account. And no matter how complete the preparations before war are, they are actually far from enough.
Not to mention that Zhong Shengguang’s dispatch of troops this time was impromptu, fast and urgent.
The time to test Panlong City has come again.
After putting all these in order, more than an hour had passed. Zhong Shengguang drank a whole cup of hot tea to moisten his throat before exhaling: "Anyway, now is a great opportunity. Next, let's allocate tasks."
It wasn't until the sun set that the lights in the Gange Hall were extinguished.
After the meeting, all the officials left in a hurry, some went to get ready, and some went home to have dinner.
Everyone attaches great importance to the meal before leaving for an expedition, and it is usually necessary to prepare a sumptuous meal.
Wen Daolun went home for dinner. When he walked to the door, he smiled at He Lingchuan and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You have to stand with us old men all day."
He Lingchuan shook his head: "I am greatly shocked."
He has almost no experience in leading troops in war, so this kind of observation will be of great benefit to him.
He carefully observed Wen Daolun. The counselor Zhong Shengguang relied on smiled very kindly, as if he had come out of the grief of losing his son, but there were a little more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, his eyes were a little cloudier, and there were a few more white hairs on the temples.
.
"It's already this hour, is there anyone at home waiting for you to eat?"
He Lingchuan said honestly: "No. I originally wanted to go to Wenxuan Pavilion, but the Red General called me here for duty."
"Yeah, that means you're very valued." Wen Daolun patted his arm, "Do a good job, young man, I'm very optimistic about you."
At this level of closed-door meeting, only the soldiers most trusted by Zhong Shengguang and the Red General are qualified to guard the door.
Otherwise, if the secret here is leaked, it will cause a stir.
At this time, Zhao Xianhe came over and called Wen Daolun to go out with him. The latter immediately said to He Lingchuan, "I'm leaving first."
Zhao Xianhe's eyes also swept over He Lingchuan without stopping for much.
After Wen Daolun left, He Lingchuan's eyes fell on Zhong Shengguang and General Hong who were passing behind.
After experiencing the illusion of the Yuan Kingdom ruins, he realized that there were more mysteries surrounding Zhong Shengguang, and his relationship with the god Mi Tian was also confusing.
Now, where was Commander Zhong hiding the Dafang Pot?
Are the consequences of all rewards for gods so complicated?
Sensing his gaze, the red general suddenly said: "What are you looking at?"
Even through the mask, He Lingchuan could feel her eyes staring at him. At this time, almost everyone in the Gange Hall had left, so he answered directly:
"If your plan goes according to plan and the king orders relocation, what will happen?"
When he said this, Zhong Shengguang and General Hong looked at each other and knew that he had figured out the idea.
The red general seemed to laugh twice: "What's wrong with moving to An?"
"It is not easy to completely open up the road back eastward." He Lingchuan said simply, "Otherwise we could have returned eastward long ago, why wait until now?"
Zhong Shengguang stared at him and said, "Do you think General Red's proposition is inappropriate?"
"What if it's not as expected?"
"The worst result is nothing, so why can't we accept it?" Zhong Shengguang smiled, "Do you think we have never lost a battle?"
"A war is unpredictable, and the most important thing to avoid is perfection." He said word by word, "There is no such good thing in the world."
He Lingchuan lowered his head: "I have learned a lesson."
"Go back and spend more time with your family tonight." Zhong Shengguang said, "We are about to set off. This battle is crucial."
"yes."
It was already dark when they left Gange Hall, and the Wenxuan Pavilion was closed, so He Lingchuan had no choice but to walk back with two books in his arms.
On the way, he also turned a corner and went to the South Gate Square to look at the Juluo tree.
The small tree is growing well and is bright green. There is a nest of sparrows in the crown, and a new branch has grown on the trunk.
Compared with its sudden appearance, its current behavior is too ordinary, as if it is no different from an ordinary tree.
What does a large square pot need a Juluo tree for? He Lingchuan always couldn't figure it out.
Now that he had come here, he simply went to Frost River Restaurant for a sumptuous dinner. The place was still bustling with people, everyone was chatting and laughing without any idea that a new war was about to begin.
This time, it was Panlongcheng who took the initiative.
Several comrades came over to have a drink, one of them was Duan Xinyu who was exploring the Flesh Fortress with He Lingchuan.
Xinyu had already gotten married at this time, and his newlywed wife was the girl who was run away by He Lingchuan when he said, "She's either stupid or blunt."
Duan Xinyu's life after marriage was quite happy. His little wife gritted her teeth whenever he mentioned He Lingchuan, which made him feel comfortable. Therefore, when he saw He Lingchuan, he was very enthusiastic and grabbed him and thanked him repeatedly.
He toasted several glasses, and others toasted several more, and He Lingchuan's meal had to be extended to two hours.
After all, he knew very well that after the next long-distance attack, some people might not be there anymore.
When he returned home, as soon as he opened the door, he saw the light coming from the low wall:
The lights are on next door.
Sun Fuling is back?
He Lingchuan quickly fetched water to wash his face and rinse his mouth, and then smoothed his hair that was frizzy in the wind, then he leaned on the low wall and knocked on the tiles:
"Is Master Sun at home?"
"Not here."
"..."
With a creak, Sun Fuling pushed open the door and came out, dressed in white with her disheveled hair half wet.
She raised her head and looked at He Lingchuan. The moonlight shone on her beautiful face like jade, giving it a hazy glow.
He Lingchuan immediately remembered the moonlight that night at the Yuan Kingdom's former site, which was also so shining and dizzy.
"What's going on?" Sun Fuling waited for him for a while, then she had to ask.
"I thought you weren't here tonight."
"I was supposed to be on duty at Shuqin Academy tonight, but a command order came in the evening, requiring the academy to take a temporary holiday, so I came back." Sun Fuling sighed, "Is there going to be another war? Before every battle,
Let the students go home and reunite with their families."
He Lingchuan nodded.
"Then when are you leaving?"
"It will be soon, maybe tomorrow, or in two days." He Lingchuan scratched his head, "It depends on the clock, Commander, to give the order."
The wall fell into silence.
After a long time, Sun Fuling said "Oh": "Is it so fast?"
"Yes." He Lingchuan stared at her, "Would you like to say hello to me?"
He pointed to the wine jar in the corner of the courtyard. Sun Fuling shook her head: "You smell too much. Be careful if you drink too much and you won't be able to get up tomorrow. We'll have tea instead of the bar."
With that said, she went back to the house to get some tea and an iron kettle, and then jumped over the wall.
"This is a gift from a student. Her family is a tea farmer in Chipa Baiyuan. She gave me the first batch of spring tea picked in the garden this year."
He Lingchuan moved the stove into the courtyard and set up water to make tea.
"You've heard a lot of rumors about the relocation order in the city these days, right?"
"Yes, there are discussions everywhere." Sun Fuling sat down and said, "I didn't expect that the monarch would rather take the risk and accept aid from a foreign country. It is clear that we are not at the end of our rope yet."
"Not yet?"
"No, there are at least two lines of King Qin's troops near the capital, as well as the Royal Forest Guards." Sun Fuling said lightly, "It boasts of unparalleled combat power, but I don't think it's very good. Otherwise, why not use it at this time?"
"After all, it is the capital of the country. These forces have to defend the capital fortress, so they can't take the initiative to go out and suppress the enemy, right?"
"These armies haven't fought in 20 or 30 years. Who knows if they can still fight."
He Lingchuan knew that the residents of Panlong, including herself, hated their mother country, so he quickly changed the topic and told some anecdotes from usual times.
Sun Fuling also shared the daily life in Shuqin Academy.
As we chatted, the night got darker.
The street preaching ended long ago. The road outside was quiet, and no footsteps passed by for a long time.
At this moment, there was a strange noise coming from the neighbor's house.
The bungalow in the market place was too small, and the sound insulation effect was poor, so every sound reached their ears without missing a beat.
He Lingchuan thought of the ventriloquist performances he heard in Shihuan City, but they didn't seem to be this intense. The quality of the neighbor's bed wasn't very good either, and it squeaked hoarsely.
Sun Fuling's smile slowly faded.
Creaky.
The two looked at each other in silence, neither knowing what to say.
Creaky.
Why did you choose this night? He Lingchuan listened carefully for a few times and found out that the guy next door has a good waist and is not as short as he looks on the surface.
