After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1419 Returning to the old place
However, just as the army crossed the river, dozens of people from the post station ahead came to greet them. The leader, with a smile on his face, was Wen Daolun.

"General He, how are you?"

He Lingchuan jumped off his horse, shook his arm and laughed: "Mr. Lao Wen actually came out of the city five miles to meet me. What an honor!"

Logically, Wen Daolun only needed to wait for him in Yuheng City. But he led the officials to personally go five miles out to meet him and wait for him at the post station.

This gesture was, on the one hand, to show goodwill to He Lingchuan. After all, the two had an unpleasant past, and the people of Yuheng City obviously preferred Wen Daolun's management.

Secondly, Wen Daolun made it clear to everyone in Yuheng City that he had a harmonious relationship with General Huyi and there was no discord between them.

The attitude of subordinates and civilians sometimes depends on their superiors. Yuheng City will soon go to war again. It is time for the army and the people to unite. Wen Daolun must do everything he can to eliminate the rift.

He Lingchuan looked at his smile and secretly sighed that this gentleman always put the interests of Panlong City first.

What a model of selflessness.

He turned around and introduced Wen Daolun: "This is the messenger from the east, Xin Yi."

Wen Daolun was also very enthusiastic: "So it's Mr. Xin, I've heard a lot about you! Commander Zhong sent me messages many times, asking me to make sure to settle Mr. Xin down."

Xin Yi also smiled and said, "I've heard that the city governor Wen turned this small border town into a pearl in the wilderness. I must see it this time."

Wen Daolun immediately waved his hand and said, "It was just luck. At that time, General He was still the commander of Yuheng City. It was only with the cooperation of the two of us that we managed to stabilize Yuheng City."

"That's not easy. What I want to learn most is how to fight and develop at the same time, how to recruit soldiers and transport food, and how to take care of people's livelihood at the same time." Xin Yi sighed, "Panlong City and Yuheng City are both examples of this."

The two sides flattered each other and headed towards Yuheng City.

After hearing Xin Yi's words, He Lingchuan looked at him with higher regard again.

Most countries can pretend that peace is prevailing when there is no war, but once war breaks out, the economy and people's livelihood will quickly be dragged down and become a mess.

Yuan Kingdom and Xiluo are typical examples.

The reason why Panlong City was able to hold out for more than ten years in the harsh environment of the past was superficially because it had such powerful military forces as General Hong and the Dafeng Army. However, one of the lesser-known internal factors was the "war economy".

Fight and produce at the same time; use war to support war externally and take care of people's livelihood internally. Only in this way can we develop in war and become strong in war.

Regarding this, Panlong City has long summed up its own set of valuable experience.

Most people only know that Panlong City is very powerful, but they don’t know why it is so powerful.

If Xin Yi wanted to study and investigate the war economy of Panlong City, he would have a very discerning eye.

Wen Daolun looked back and saw that the team seemed to have no end in sight. After marching for several days, they were still in neat order and calm, without any slackness or laziness.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Your team is almost ready."

The stronger Panlong City's combat power is, the happier he will be.

"There are still a few fierce battles to go." A good sword must be consecrated by seeing blood, and the same goes for the army.

To date, the Seymour Army under He Lingchuan has more than 9,000 people, and the spearhead Tiger Wing Army has 500 people. The army has been initially established and has undergone diligent training. It is just waiting for actual combat to test the results and refine its edge.

He Lingchuan himself is already an absolute general.

Leading and commanding 9,000 troops in battle was also a huge challenge for him. Before this, he had only commanded 3,000 to 4,000 troops in actual combat, which was the Battle of Yuheng City.

As for the 9,000 troops, the logistics issues alone would be enough to make an ordinary commander feel overwhelmed. Many problems can only be discovered during actual operations. He humbly asked Zhong Shengguang and General Hong for advice, and the two of them gave him serious advice without hiding anything.

In particular, he was amazed by General Hong's flexible military management methods and broad thinking.

This doesn't seem like the experience that Mi Tian has accumulated in the human world, but rather the experience of General Hong himself.

Some people have an innate talent for war and an instinct for combat.

During these months of training, He Lingchuan had many feelings and gained a lot.

I just regret that there is not enough time.

"It's almost there." Wen Daolun said solemnly, "The Xiluo army is here."

"When I received the news, they had already entered the Jinyao territory."

One background that the three of them did not mention was that Panlong City had already deployed heavy troops on the northwest front, eyeing Baling Kingdom and Xianyou Kingdom covetously.

He Lingchuan heard Zhong Shengguang say in person that they would attack Xianyou Kingdom first.

But the situation of war is ever-changing, and the shape of water is ever-changing. Who dares to say that Zhong Shengguang will not see an opportunity and change his mind halfway?
Who dares to say that Baling won't suddenly turn against him and support Xianyou? After all, no one can predict what Beijia can do behind the scenes.

So the northwest front was on the verge of breaking out and the situation was tense.

In the past two years, Panlong City's strength has expanded greatly, and Beijia can no longer mobilize surrounding forces to suppress it. Therefore, Xiluo Kingdom was defeated.

Panlong City had already placed scouts in Jinyao's territory. As soon as the Xiluo soldiers entered Jinyao's territory, Zhong Shengguang realized that the war was about to enter a new stage.

"They have already reached the border of the Maohe Plain and have repeatedly tried to disrupt the Takigawa trade route."

As soon as Wen Daolun said this, He Lingchuan laughed.

Sure enough, Wen Daolun's next sentence was: "I hit a wall three times, but it finally stopped these days."

Attacking the Longchuan trade route and attempting to cut off the main artery of the Maohe Plain was a common tactic used by the Longchuan bandits in the past. The Yuheng Army had been entangled with the Longchuan bandits for more than a year and had accumulated rich experience. Although He Lingchuan was transferred away from Yuheng City, the other generals of the Yuheng Army were all trained by him, and this set of fighting methods had long been learned and used.

The Xiro Army wants to repeat the same old tune as others, it would be strange if it doesn't suffer a defeat.

"You arrived in time. The important task of dealing with the Xiluo Army will be handed over to you from now on." Wen Daolun waited anxiously at the post station today, and finally waited for He Lingchuan's Ximoling Army to arrive, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Like Zhong Shengguang, Wen Daolun is also a Xiro person and has inexplicable feelings towards Xiro.

He didn't want to fight against the army of his homeland from the bottom of his heart.

So Zhong Shengguang sent He Lingchuan. His Ximoling Corps was newly formed, with a very mixed composition, and only a small part of them were from Panlong City. The performance of Xiluo Country in the past ten years had deeply disappointed the soldiers and civilians of Panlong City, especially the new king of Xiluo who recognized the enemy as his father, lost power and humiliated the country, and was willing to be a pawn of Beijia, and wielded his sword against Panlong City, which made the Ximo soldiers hate him.

If you hate someone, you will want to teach him a lesson.

Wen Daolun waved his hand and said, "Let's go into the city. I'll welcome you two."

The city gate tower was still as tall as before. He Lingchuan personally supervised its construction and reinforcement. But when he entered Yuheng City after more than a year, He Lingchuan felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

The graffiti behind the city wall is still there, the post station is still there, and the uniquely shaped large square stone trough is still there. In the past, whenever he returned to the city, he would always come here to water his horse.

But the buildings in Yuheng City are now more densely populated. There are even seven-story buildings on the main street. They are spacious and imposing, with bright lights. When He Lingchuan walks on the long street, he can still hear bursts of laughter from above.

Wen Daolun said that it was a large restaurant newly opened by foreign businessmen. It was of high quality and expensive, but it was always packed with guests.

The atmosphere in Yuheng City has always been more relaxed than that in Panlong City, and the management is more humane than that in Panlong City. Merchants and nobles from other places feel less burdened when playing here, so the economy and trade here are actually more developed than those in Panlong City, and it already has a bit of a decadent and decadent appearance.

All these things can be found everywhere.

Many citizens of Yuheng City recognized He Lingchuan, and there were always people greeting him on the road.

Xin Yi, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "Commander He is very popular here."

He Lingchuan could only smile bitterly.

His method of dealing with the Longchuan bandits back then now seemed flawed, which also caused some people in Yuheng City to be dissatisfied with him. This would require time and effort to resolve.

Fortunately, in the battle of Yuheng City, he led the Yuheng Army to defeat Fushan Lie, which completely stabilized the Maohe Plain and Longchuan Trade Route. This achievement was not only recognized by Panlong City, but also by the people of Yuheng City.

In the past two years, his reputation has gradually improved, and many people in the community have begun to speak up for him.

But He Lingchuan was very modest: "It's all the result of Mr. Wen's hard work."

This sentence was incoherent and Xin Yi was completely confused.

The three of them went to the newly opened seven-story restaurant. As expected, everything from the dishes to the drinks were very unique, and there were even singing and dancing performances on the spot.

Wen Daolun was a friendly man and soon started chatting with Xin Yi.

After the meal, the two men sent Xin Yi to the prepared guest room and then slowly walked back.

He Lingchuan said sincerely: "Mr. Wen is really amazing. He manages Yuheng City so well."

The emotions of ordinary people are the simplest. They like whoever can make their life good, without any falsehood.

Wen Daolun waved his hand and said, "No matter how well I run the business, it still depends on 'living and working in peace and contentment'. If the environment of Yuheng City is bad, I can't develop it even if I have the magic to save the situation. Yuheng City will also become the front line, and we have to rely on General He here."

Marching and fighting are really not his strong points.

Before He Lingchuan arrived, he was commanding the Yuhengcheng army to play hide-and-seek with the Xiluo army, and his nerves were tense.

Now that He Lingchuan has arrived with nine thousand Tiger Wing Army, Wen Daolun can really breathe a sigh of relief.

He Lingchuan said: "With Mr. Wen as my backer in Yuheng City, I feel very at ease!"

Everyone has their own expertise, and when it comes to managing a city, he was indeed not as good as Wen Daolun.

The two smiled at each other, and the little rift between them from the past was completely gone.

This time, He Lingchuan no longer has to drive Wen Daolun back to Panlong City, and the two can finally work together sincerely.

One civil and one military, internal affairs and external attacks.

After Wen Daolun finished laughing, he said, "Although Xiluo is weak, it has repeatedly harassed the Yuheng border, and there are great hidden dangers."

He Lingchuan nodded: "Commander Zhong sent me here, in fact, it was not the Xiluo Army that was targeting them, but Beijia."

It’s not that Zhong Shengguang is too arrogant, but he really doesn’t take Xiro seriously. What he wants to guard against is Beiga.

Beijia has stationed troops in Xiluo. Although this westward "conquest" of Panlong City was Xiluo's idea and it was Xiluo that sent troops, who dares to say that Beijia will not send troops to attack Yuheng City?
