Waiting in anxious anticipation the next day, Mingjue replied: "Abbot Zhao, after inquiry by Shopkeeper Liang, the current subscription situation is that Princess Rou'an subscribes for 40 shares, Gao Yanei subscribes for 80 shares, and Yeli Xiaohou Ye
He subscribed for 60 shares, Mr. Gule subscribed for 40 shares, Shopkeeper Liang subscribed for 40 shares himself, and Xiao Monk subscribed for 80 shares. The situation is very good, and the rest will be issued at the Jinbo auction, initially scheduled for next month.
Shopkeeper Liang asked Abbot Zhao to rest assured that if Abbot Zhao still wants to sell shares, we can take it."
Zhao Ran frowned and reviewed the contents of this flying talisman over and over again, but unfortunately, he did not read what he needed from it.
Did Shopkeeper Liang's words not reach her, or did Princess Rou'an simply not understand what she meant? Or maybe Shopkeeper Liang and Mingjue did not tell Princess Rou'an's message exactly as it was, but instead gave "
have eaten?
Zhao Ran didn't know these inside stories, but he felt some anxiety. This anxiety came from the unknown information and the inability to control the situation.
Just as she was staring out the window in a daze, Mingjue's flying talisman arrived again: "The princess said that her subscription shares have not changed, and the money will be settled within this month."
Zhao Ran was stunned, and immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the Governor's Mansion: "The enemy troops may be dispatched in the near future." He summoned Taoist Nangui who was resting on the bell tower: "Director Nangui has invited me. It's urgent. Please send it to Governor Xia.
In person.”
Zhao Ran returned to the Hongyuan map and searched carefully along the Baihe River, starting from the Chewa Valley and going south along the river to Jiangqingtang, Jisha Valley, Hetong Pass, Yueliangdu, Anqu Village, Darlang Mountain, and Konglong.
Wa, further south is the icy and snowy Longjia Mountains. The Longjia Mountains and the Zhuodeng Mountains in the south are tens of miles in length. There are countless dangerous peaks that are deep and difficult to climb. It is basically unnecessary to consider. After passing the Longzhuo Mountains, it is
It is the Jinchuan and Jinchuan of Tubo.
After repeatedly looking at the Baihe line on the map, especially the other places except for the three major crossings of Chewa Valley, Yueliangdu and Anqu Village, Zhao Ran thought carefully about what choice Wu Huawen would make.
The second military meeting was held at the end of September. The military meeting was arranged at the Songfan Guards Central Army Camp in the Chewa Valley. Du Tenghui and Xia Ji were more eye-catching and did not come to attend, and this time it was
As a pure military tactic, these two men would not be able to play a big role. Instead, they might expose their whereabouts and attract the attention of the White Horse Supervisor.
On the way to the Chewa Valley, Zhao Ran saw a scene of a bumper harvest. The endless cultivated land was full of crops that were about to ripen. Herdsmen were driving herds of cattle and sheep on the grassland.
Under the blue sky and above the green land, snow lotuses are blooming in full bloom among all the believers in Hongyuan. People's faces are full of smiles, and their eyes are full of expectations for a better life.
Who among these ordinary people knew that war was coming?
The military meeting was chaired by Commander Cao, who once again confirmed how the various armies should coordinate and cooperate, and at the same time adjusted some problems exposed in the early deployment.
In accordance with the requirements of the military meeting, Zhao Ran rushed back to Dajun Mountain and called Pei Zhongze and Zhang Baihu who were undergoing training: "How is the training?"
Zhang Baihu said: "Abbot Zhao, if it is a field battle on flat ground, it will definitely not work if you pull it out like this. It has only been more than a month of training, and the most basic array has not been practiced. But if it is just to defend the city, I can probably give it a try.
.”
"Give it a try?"
"Yes, give it a try, because I don't know how many troops will come from Xixia. I think it can be defended within a thousand people. If it is two thousand people, it will be very reluctant. Even if it is defended, the loss will not be small. If it is three thousand
As a man, I don’t have the confidence to answer the abbot’s question.”
"It doesn't matter. It's unlikely that three thousand people will come from the other side. At most, there will be less than two thousand people. From now on, we will stop the drums and drums every night, and station in Hongyuan City in batches within five days. After entering the city, we will camp in
In the west of the city, no military armor is allowed to be worn, no flags are raised, and everyone is resting in the camp, waiting for military orders at any time."
After giving instructions to Zhang Baihu, Zhao Ran turned to Pei Zhongze: "Senior Brother Pei, above the city, I have equipped Senior Brother with Senior Brother Luo and Fairy Toad Palace..."
"Excellent! This is a powerful force!"
"...There are also Senior Uncle Lin, Senior Sister Song Yuqiao, Senior Sister Zheng Yutong, Senior Sister Cao Yuzhu, Senior Sister Yu Yuqi, Qu Fenghe, and Junior Sister Zhong Ning, and two Taoist friends, Butcher and Financial Master Shen..."
"Well, one archmage, three mages, four yellow crowns, and three Taoist priests, this lineup is almost enough to defend the city."
"In addition, two casual cultivators, brothers Guo Zhiwei and Yang Zhiwen, are allocated, but they do not fight on the front line. They only take care of the wounded in the back, help with the transportation of money and food, etc."
"Very good. But if this is the case, do you still have enough manpower in your cave? Senior Brother Wei and Senior Uncle Jiang are in charge of Dajun Mountain. Will every helper around them be inappropriate?"
Zhao Ran put his hand on his forehead and said helplessly: "My teacher has gone out. At first, he could still reply to the flying talisman, but recently he has not even bothered to reply to us. The senior brother was afraid that something might happen to the teacher, so he also went out with him. Now Dongtian
Among them, only the Patriarch Longyang is in charge, but it is enough to have the Patriarch in charge. He alone is better than me and hundreds of others."
Pei Zhongze nodded: "With Patriarch Longyang here, there won't be any big problems in Songfan." After thinking about it, he asked again: "What happened to Master Jiang? Can I, Qingyun Pavilion, help?"
It was not easy for Zhao Ran to reveal to Pei Zhongze that his teacher was "forced to go away from home by Master Zhao". He just casually dealt with it with words.
After leaving the training valley, Zhao Ran remembered that he had not contacted his senior brother Wei Zhizhen for a while, so Fei Fu said: "Senior brother, have you found the teacher?"
Wei Zhizhen replied: "We have been chasing all the way to Bozhou, and we will enter Guizhou if we go further. The one from Beidaotang has a very bad temper, saying that the teacher doesn't fight with her, just looks down on her, and insists on a life-and-death struggle.
The fight is so speechless. Woman, what you are thinking is really wonderful. By the way, has the war started as you mentioned? Can you withstand it? If you can't, I will go back and preside over it."
Zhao Ran said: "You should hurry up and catch up with the teacher. The war on my side is not a big deal. Junior brother, I can withstand it. I am afraid that the teacher and the Beidaotang guy will get into a real fight. If the Beidaotang guy is injured,
If it’s disabled or something, then there’s no way to explain it.”
Wei Zhizhen replied: "Don't worry, junior brother, you can't fight with real fire. I think the teacher has something to do. It's just an excuse to avoid the guy from Beidao Hall."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"How do I know this? Let's go after it and see."
Zhao Ran shook his head and Feifu warned: "Teacher, as the master of the Zongsheng Pavilion, his every move is not a private matter. Now he is hiding something from us. It really shouldn't be done. Senior brother, after this matter is clarified, you must
