Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 450
"His Royal Highness, there is news from the empire."

Zhao Xinse clasped his fists and reported to the blond young man in front of him.

Putting down the check list of supplies and personnel in his hand, Dai Mubai moved his eyes away from the map of Barak Principality on the table, and looked at Zhao Xinse who was wearing armor:

"General Zhao, please tell me."

Dai Mubai knew that although only the two patriarchs Zhu Zhongda and Zhao Xinse "followed" him to defect to the empire, it didn't mean that his team only had Zhu and Zhao.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhu Zhongda and Zhao Xinse already had allies in the empire, but unlike the Zhu and Zhao families who had betrayed the emperor on the surface, they were still hiding in the empire with unknown identities.

At least Dai Mubai himself didn't know who else was there, only Zhu Zhongda and Zhao Xinse knew the information of his accomplices.

Regarding this, although Dai Mubai felt somewhat dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't show anything.

After all, the current situation is that he must rely on the strength of Zhu Zhongda and Zhao Xinse, although they also need their own banner, but generally speaking, Dai Mubai is still controlled by others.

Therefore, many times, Dai Mubai can only turn a blind eye to this situation and pretend not to care.

"A week ago, the empire mobilized the Juehun Forbidden Army. Five Contras and the former national pillar General Yang Tianmin besieged and killed Yunzhongjun Fan Yun. They all turned back and killed none of them."

Zhao Xinse's tone was very heavy.

Although because of the current situation, the defeat of the empire is a good thing for them, because it proves that they are likely to become the branch that can continue in the future, but...

This overly powerful Fan Yun is like a mountain pressing down on their hearts. Even though so many people have been mobilized, they still can't help him. Then the future...does Xingluo really have a future?
Zhao Xinse has no idea.

"Then, he spent a week digging graves for the imperial soldiers who besieged and killed him, and gave them a home."

Dai Mubai's eyes were closed, digesting the news just received.

If Dai Mubai remembers correctly and Teacher Fan did not lie back then, Fan Yun is only 25 or [-] years old now, but his strength has already surpassed all their peers, and even reached the pinnacle of the mainland, at least above the super title level.

Because he had been taught and trained by Fan Yun, Dai Mubai knew that Fan Yun had a special cloud energy that could absorb other people's soul power to replenish himself, so he wasn't particularly surprised that Fan Yun was able to counter the imperial army.

After all, as Prince Xingluo, Dai Mubai also understands where the strength of the Juehun Forbidden Army lies. To be precise, their most powerful is their ability to coordinate and siege. Through continuous besieging and killing to consume the titled soul power, they finally complete the Juehun Imperial Army. kill.

For most Title Douluo, this is very useful, but for Fan Yun who can replenish his soul power, it is not enough.

Perhaps it was also for this reason that the emperor sent five additional Contras and the former Guozhu General Yang Tianmin to go together.

But I didn't expect that even with such a configuration, he couldn't win Fan Yun.

Dai Mubai's heart didn't know at this moment whether it was more heavy or more relaxed.

As the crown prince of the empire, Dai Mubai is very clear about what it means to have someone like Fan Yun over everyone's head in the next hundred years, but as a student who once accepted Fan Yun's help to get out of the quagmire, he has a strong sense of Teacher Fan's survival Somewhat fortunate and delighted.

Just how complicated a human being is, let alone others, Dai Mubai has not even been able to see himself clearly.

"The future situation of the empire is not good." Dai Mubai could only reply like this.

"Yes." Zhao Xinse nodded, "But it's not all bad things for us. That Fan Yun once served as your teacher, His Royal Highness, and has a certain teacher-student friendship with you. If you can use it in the future, or It can help rebuild the empire."

Silently glanced at Zhao Xinsel, Dai Mubai nodded, understanding the necessity of doing so.

Perhaps this is part of the reason why the emperor chose to let himself defect to the empire independently.

"I understand, General Zhao, for the sake of the empire, I know what to do." Dai Mubai said so.

"In addition, His Royal Highness, there is another very urgent matter that you need to know."

"General Zhao, please tell me."

"Because of the previous attacks and arson on the grain and grass garrisons of the imperial army, the army has intensified its search and pursuit of the guerrillas, and has begun a carpet search in an organized way."

When it comes to this, Zhao Xinse's tone is a bit heavy:
"Despite the advantage of the terrain, the guerrillas were severely damaged under the siege of the well-trained imperial army. It is conservatively estimated that thousands of members were lost."

Although the original guerrillas could pose a certain threat to Xingluo's army, due to the lack of unified command and detailed understanding of the deployment of Xingluo's army, the guerrillas all over Barak are like a mess, not to mention their lack of supplies and resources. Armed, the damage that can really be caused is also very limited.

It is precisely because of this situation that the Xingluo army has never carried out a truly planned and large-scale encirclement and suppression of these scattered guerrillas.

However, this situation has changed after the intervention of a group of "Star Luo Traitors".

As the crown prince of the empire, Dai Mubai has already developed enough leadership demeanor under these years of experience and training, and his behavior is also quite meticulous.

Zhu Zhongda, as a minister who once helped the emperor control the dark side of the Star Luo Empire, the members of the Zhu family under his command are not only excellent night assassins, but also spies with very powerful intelligence gathering capabilities.

And Zhao Xinse, who used to be the general of the Baliu camp of the Star Luo Empire, controlled an army with extremely strong mobility and combat effectiveness.

With this group of armed forces, intelligence, and organizational leadership joining the leadership, the guerrillas that were originally scattered like sand immediately changed.

The Zhu family members conducted intelligence gathering to formulate strategic goals, and the Zhao family army carried out organizational structure construction and simple training for the members. Under the structure of the Star Luo elite, the combat capabilities of the guerrillas were immediately improved.

Moreover, due to Zhao Xinse's background in the Xingluo army, he is well versed in the way of supporting war with war. Since his own military supplies are not enough, he can just snatch them from the enemy.

As a regular army that dared to defect to the empire, Baliu Ying's combat effectiveness was also at the forefront in Xingluo, and its mobility was strong.

Therefore, under the command of Zhao Xinse, the Banliu Camp successively raided and looted several Xingluo material storage points or transportation teams, seized a large number of materials and armed forces, replenished daily consumption and armed civilian guerrillas, and strengthened their combat effectiveness.

Because of this, the damage the guerrillas can cause to the Xingluo army in Barak is much greater than before.

And because of Fan Yun's teaching and training, Dai Mubai has always adhered to the principle of "when the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we harass", allowing the guerrillas to avoid direct struggle with the Xingluo army, and concentrate more forces on the transportation supplies. On the destruction of food and grass.

then……

The Star Luo Empire's offensive on the frontal battlefield was really blocked, and because of this, in order to avoid the situation of pulling legs from the rear again, the Star Luo Army in the Principality of Barak began to formally encircle and suppress the guerrillas.

"General Zhao, maybe when Master Zhu comes back, we need another emergency meeting..."
