Just when Ye Fan didn't know how to answer, the leader waved his hand and two cavalrymen rushed over. They said, "Hurry up and report that the king is back!" The two cavalrymen bowed to receive the order and galloped away.
The rest of them dismounted and moved forward. The leader led a group of green-robed cavalry, guarding behind Ye Fan, Ling'er, and the six brothers of the Chang family, and marched forward.
The group of people walked for more than ten miles and just arrived at the city gate when they saw a group of cavalry rushing in front. Ling'er smiled and said: "It's Lord Han's Flying Bear Team who has arrived." That team of guards all wore bearskin clothes and hats. Black Bear
Wearing a leather robe and a white bear skin hat, he looks very majestic.
This group of soldiers marched nearby, shouted in unison, dismounted at the same time, separated on both sides, and said: "Welcome to the king!"
Ye Fan paused and said: "Everyone, get up!" After hearing the sound, everyone stood up and raised their hands in salute, followed by the Flying Bear Army.
After traveling for more than ten miles, another group of flying tiger soldiers wearing tiger skin clothes and tiger skin hats came to greet them. Brother Chang Liu thought to himself: "I don't know what high official of our young master is in this Xueya country, but he has such a high official."
Waiting for the pomp." But Ye Fan didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to ask along the way.
After entering Hanjiapu, they arrived at a large house. A team of flying leopards wearing leopard skins and hats welcomed Ye Fan and Ling'er and walked in. Ye Fan only said that as soon as he entered the house, he should be able to see some of the principals.
He was here, but he didn't know that in the hall of the house, the carpets and utensils were very gorgeous, and the low table was filled with dishes and fruits, but there was no one there.
The captain of the Flying Leopard Team said: "Your Majesty, Hanjiabao has become a frontline battlefield. The leaders and commanders of each team have moved to Xueya. Please stay here for the night. I will escort you the next day."
You go back to Xueyadu."
Ye Fan didn't ask any questions. He sat with Ling'er and the six brothers of the Chang family. He picked up the wine glass and started drinking. The waiters poured the wine, cut the meat, took the fruit, and served respectfully.
He got up and started walking again the next morning. That day he walked westward for more than 200 miles despite heavy snowfall, and rested in a large tent in the evening.
At noon on the second day, Ling'er suddenly said: "Brother, after passing the hillside in front, we are home." Ye Fan saw that the mountain was majestic, and a big river rushed south from the hillside with the sound of water.
The group of people turned around the hillside and saw flags fluttering in front of them. There were densely packed camps everywhere on a snowy field. Thousands of cavalry and infantry were constantly roaming around, as if on patrol.
The officers and soldiers of the Flying Bear, Flying Tiger, and Flying Leopard teams escorting Ye Fan took out their horns and started blowing loudly.
Suddenly the drums were beating loudly, the cannons were ringing, and the officers and soldiers in the open space separated to the left and right. A tall and magnificent snow-white beast rushed out, with a bearded man on its back. He rode towards Ye Fan, shouting
: "Lord, princess, you are finally back!"
"Uncle Han!" Ling'er suddenly let go of Ye Fan's hand, walked up to him, and ran into the man's arms. She was overjoyed.
All the soldiers around were heard shouting in unison: "Long live the king! Long live! Long live!"
Ye Fan was shocked when he suddenly heard the loud shouts. He looked around, but he saw all the officers and soldiers bowing down, drawing their swords and leaning on the ground, looking at him passionately.
Ling'er ran back and stood in the middle, holding his hand, looking east and west, with a very proud look on his face. The Chang family brothers were supporting him on his left and right, standing up and raising their swords, looking very majestic.
Ye Fan felt a little nervous in his heart. Seeing the Lord Han walking towards him step by step, Ye Fan knew that politicians like Lord Han and the others were suspicious and gloomy. Others could hide it, but such people were
It's easy to see through your own disguise.
Lord Han came to a stop in front of Ye Fan, his eyes suddenly flashed with light, but he heard him cup his hands and said: "The Lord is back!"
Ye Fan pretended to be cold and said "meeting". Lord Han ordered his men to lead the way, but he walked side by side with Ye Fan. He said with a smile: "Is the Lord feeling unwell this time out?"
Ye Fan was secretly shocked, knowing that he was suspicious of his figure. Even if he looked similar to the leader of the Xueya Kingdom, there were still slight differences in his figure. Ye Fan did not dare to answer casually, and said impatiently:
"What are you talking about? Let's go into the city quickly. I'm tired."
Hanbao Lord Nuonuo responded without any doubt. He had known the deceased Xueya Kingdom Lord for many years and knew that the Xueya Kingdom Lord was good at everything but had a proud and rude temper.
Therefore, he didn't care about Ye Fan and his answers. If Ye Fan wanted to answer his questions with a smile, it would arouse his suspicion.
Ye Fan's head was as big as a fight for a while. Although he was also open-minded and bold, he had never seen the emperor in his two lives. Today, he has become the master of a country after seeing such a scene.
I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Taking a long breath, trying to suppress the pounding in his heart, the burly master of the Han Family Castle, a bearded man, did not wait for his reply, and said again: "The master is frightened by the thieves and is tired from the journey. It is not suitable to stay in this wilderness for a long time. His subordinates are already dead."
I have prepared fine wine and delicacies to welcome the Lord." He raised his hand and said, "Please, Lord!"
After entering the city, they entered a gorgeous palace and came to the splendid hall painted with gold. A banquet had been set. A group of maids, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, stood by the roadside. When they saw Ye Fan, they all held their waists to salute.
Ye Fan waved his hand and asked them to stand up. He turned around and was about to sit down when he suddenly heard the sound of hoofbeats outside the palace door and there was a commotion. He was stunned when Mr. Wentu Xie and Ye Jing in white barged in.
Ye Fan raised his head and looked at each other speechlessly. The place was quiet. Just as Ye Fan was about to speak, Mr.
He deserves to die, please punish him."
Hearing this, Lord Han, who was standing under Ye Fan, changed his expression and shouted to the four of them: "What? Not only did you fail to protect the king, but you asked the king to risk his life to protect you. Come on, drag him out."
, chopped."
Ye Fan did not expect that the Lord Han was so vigorous and resolute in his work, and his military law was really cruel. Before the guards in the palace came forward, Ye Fan hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
"Your Majesty, now that the country is in critical danger, military laws must be strict. Please do not have compassion in your heart, which will cause the morale of the army to be turbulent and the military regulations to be out of control." After saying 'Wait a minute', Ye Fan didn't have time to say anything else.
The leader Han Bao was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer the question.
Everyone looked back at him, Ye Fan smiled bitterly, forced himself to calm down, and said slowly: "I don't blame them for this matter, it is still my plan. There is no need for you to know the specific situation. Besides, we are urgently hiring people now."
On this occasion, Mr. Xie and Ye Jing are both pillars of our country. Since I am fine now, you can get up."
Mr. Xie and Ye Jing took the order and stood up.
Ye Fan waved his hand and the banquet began. He sat in the middle. First, he ordered Lord Han to sit at the horizontal head, and then asked Mr.
Left early.
Not long after, hundreds of civil and military officials came in to see the city lord, the privy envoy, Yu Yue, the privy envoy, the general, the junior general, the commander, the infantry commander, etc.
Ye Fan couldn't remember all these invitations for a while. Every time he met someone, he just nodded with a smile.
At this moment, a sergeant stumbled outside the door and shouted: "It's bad." Everyone recognized this man as the leader of the expedition outside the city and were all stunned.
"Why are you so alarmed?" Master Han Bao showed his general demeanor and asked calmly.
The man swallowed his saliva and gasped: "According to the information from the spies ahead, the allied forces of the four countries in the snowy area crossed the Lu River and attacked Hanjiabao in three directions."
"What?" Master Han stood up suddenly and said in a loss of voice: "This is unreasonable. Is Xuefeng Ridge broken?"
"My subordinates have ordered people to investigate further..."
"Just to have a look, the young master has walked all the way and everything has been in ruins. He has already been trapped." After hearing this, Ye Fan muttered in his heart. It seems that he must be ready to run away, otherwise.
Before Ye Fan finished his thoughts, there was a rapid sound of animal hooves outside the palace door. The generals rushed out, only to see a spy dismounted and said urgently: "The Lord of Xuefengling City died in the battle of Baixiongpo. Xuefeng City
After falling, Khan Ji, one of the four generals of the Four Kingdoms in the Snow Region, personally led an army of 600,000 and marched towards Hanjiapu!"
All the generals looked at each other, and Lord Han said angrily: "The four countries in the Snow Region really want our Xueya Kingdom to be wiped out, so why are they pursuing and fighting so hard?"
"Khan Ji was originally the marshal of the Red Snow Country, one of the Four Snow Kingdoms. The country's total military strength was only 500,000, and even if he forcibly conquered Xuefeng Ridge, he would have suffered heavy losses. Could it be that the 600,000 sergeants who came there were misinformed?
?" A civil servant stroked his beard and pondered, pretending to be calm, but his feet beneath his robe were trembling.
"It is better to believe in the existence of military aircraft than in their absence." Master Hanbao Shen said: "With the fall of Xuefengling, the four countries in the snowy region may have reorganized the original Xuefengling army and included them in their coalition forces.
, 600,000 sergeants, there must be hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops from the Xueya Kingdom."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of beast's hooves approaching from afar, and everyone's hearts were moved by it. They watched a knight quickly enter the palace, prostrated himself on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Heilang, the general of the Four Nations Allied Forces in the Snowy Region, personally led tens of thousands of forwards.
Entering and stationing three hundred miles away from Hanjiapu, Hanjiapu Tiger, Leopard, and Bear flying teams, with the Bear team as the main team and the other two teams as assistants, have fought several times with the vanguard led by Black Wolf, and the casualties on both sides are unknown; and
The news is that the generals of the four countries in the snowy region have led an army of one million and are following us. They will reach Hanjiabao in half a month."
Faced with these military and political affairs that he had never been exposed to, no matter how smart Ye Fan was, he didn't know how to deal with it at this time. Whenever someone finished the report, he just nodded, but thought in his heart: "Another six hundred thousand, another million
Yes, if this continues, sooner or later my life will be lost here."
Seeing his melancholy expression, Mr. Xie misunderstood and said, "Master, don't worry. Although the enemy's vanguard has arrived at Hanjiabao, the defenders are soldiers trained by Master Hanbao himself. One against ten is not a problem."
Next, coupled with the commander Han Wen Gong under Lord Han, who is full of wisdom and tactics, and is one of the best generals in Xueya Kingdom. It is impossible for the enemy to cross the thunder pool even half a step."
There was silence all around, and everyone's horrified eyes were fixed on Ye Fan. Ye Fan was confused by the bad news one after another. He didn't know what to do and glanced sideways at Lord Han.
Lord Han of Fort Han nodded slightly and said: "The current plan is to fight from behind the city. There is really no other way."
The generals all felt the same, and Ye Fan thought to himself: "I have said this, but I have not said it. Whoever wins or loses, it has nothing to do with me. If I stay here, if they ask a few more questions, the people there will come over."
Well, it’s better to be early..."
Mr. Xie interrupted his thoughts and bowed: "Master Han is right. I wonder if the master has any other plans?"
"Run away." Ye Fan said the unfinished thoughts in his heart without thinking.
"Run away?!" Everyone looked at the big eyes with their small eyes, and looked at the old eyes with their big eyes. They were dumbfounded and stupid.
Ye Fan slipped up and complained endlessly, so he had to keep his mouth shut and said: "The armies of the four countries in the snowy region will surely arrive at the city in a few days. The situation in front of us is really desperate. The total strength of the Xueya Kingdom is less than 500,000, and the number of enemies is
We are attacking with millions of people, and the momentum is really huge. If we fight forcefully, we will just sit back and wait for death."
After hearing what Ye Fan said, everyone thought it was reasonable and looked at him in unison, hoping that he would come up with a clever plan to solve this dilemma.
In this moment, Ye Fan had countless thoughts in his mind, and he had thoroughly reviewed the "Thirty-Six Cheap Strategies" in his mind. He knew that although his cultivation was higher than Lord Han's, Mr. Xie's, etc.
; But when it comes to military strategies, these masters of military use are certainly much better than him. They have no good strategies, and they have no better methods.
But at this time, he had to hold on. Who asked him to become the fake leader of the country? While he was brooding and distressed, he suddenly remembered a plan and blurted out: "We can disperse our troops and organize them into
Zero, the main focus is guerrilla warfare, so 'running away' is inevitable."
