Everyone gathered around. Looking at the map made of sand table below, the generals frowned. Because there was a rumor just now that the enemy's attacks became more frequent, and the army was advancing quickly towards them.

"This time, when I was fighting the enemy, I captured one of their major generals. After torture, he revealed some information. The general situation in the northern border is very serious. The Khan of the northern border has ordered a large-scale attack on our northern border. Soon, these troops will arrive here, and our city guards are far from enough. Therefore, we must report this matter to the emperor as soon as possible so that we can make plans early."

Zhong Hanyan explained the general situation in a straightforward manner. This news caused a commotion among the crowd, and the generals began to discuss it. After a long while, one of the generals said, "General Lin, this matter must be reported back to the court as soon as possible. In addition, we should also come up with some countermeasures as soon as possible."

The speaker was General Sun, an experienced general with rich battlefield experience. Unfortunately, he was old. The imperial court sent messages many times to ask General Sun to retire, but the war was not over. General Sun had no intention of returning home, so he had been holding his ground. He waited for the day when the world would be at peace. This was his lifelong wish, and it was also the wish of all the soldiers.

"General Sun is right. Besides, is there any other news?" Lin Xiaochen continued to ask Zhong Hanyan. Because this information was too scarce, they needed to know more detailed information.

Zhong Hanyan continued, "According to the spies, the army sent out this time is as many as 500,000. Judging from their marching speed, they will be on the border in no more than five days." Zhong Hanyan looked solemn when he talked about this.

They only have 100,000 troops stationed on their border. If the enemy really has 500,000 troops, they will have to use almost all of the country's strength to attack Dongao. From this point of view, the real Three Kingdoms siege war will officially begin in five days!

"General, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We need to come up with a foolproof plan. Now, if anyone has any ideas, please feel free to speak up." Guo Shan also expressed his own opinion. In the past, such meetings usually consisted of everyone expressing their own opinions, and then discussing the best methods and strategies.

"Yan'er, you know the situation on the front line best, you speak first!" Lin Yiyang asked Zhong Hanyan to speak out her ideas, because in his opinion, although Zhong Hanyan was a woman, she was always calm and resourceful. The solutions she came up with were often very good.

"Yes, General Zhong, you go first, and we'll all listen." Another young general echoed. His name was Yang Ning, a young general with a tall and burly figure, but a pretty face. He had heard a little about this heroic female general and admired her very much. He did not look down on Zhong Hanyan just because she was a woman.

Zhong Hanyan thought for a moment, pointed at the sand table, and all the generals looked at the sand table.

"This is a canyon in the Kachar Mountains. The terrain here is long. Once you enter this canyon, the probability of escape is very small. According to the spies, their food and fodder army will pass through here soon. Judging from the terrain, this is also their only route, there is no other way. If..."

She didn't need to say the rest, as all the generals here were experienced in battles, so they naturally understood what it meant. As the saying goes, when marching to war, food and grass must go first. A large-scale war like this requires much more food and grass than usual. If their food and grass are destroyed, the 500,000-man army will have nothing to do but starve. Of course, the enemy would not be stupid enough to transport all the food and grass together, so this time, only some food and grass for the vanguard troops were transported. The quantity was not large.

But if some can be destroyed, then some can be destroyed. Without these food supplies, the war can be delayed by at least one or two days, and they will have more time to prepare.

"Is the news accurate?" Lin Xiaochen asked the key question. If this news was false information deliberately released by the enemy, it would be a waste of time and energy to do something stupid.

"General, this is absolutely reliable. This news also reported the death of two of our soldiers. I have also sent people to inquire from various sources, and it is absolutely accurate!"

With Zhong Hanyan's affirmation, this matter can be said to be a done deal.

"Also, how many people are there escorting the food and fodder, and how skilled are they?"

Lin Xiaochen continued to ask.

Zhong Hanyan had already found out all this, so he said calmly, "There are about 2,000 people transporting the goods. In addition, the most difficult thing is that they sent cultivators from secluded families to follow. The number of people is unknown, but according to my guess, there are at least two people."

"Since the members of the Hermit Family have joined us, it will be even more difficult to complete this mission!" General Sun clenched his fists. He was already old, and he only hoped to see the arrival of peace in his lifetime, but this battle was a life-and-death struggle. He was not afraid of death, but what scared him the most was not seeing the day of peace.

Lin Yiyang took a step forward and said in a high and loud voice: "General, I request to complete this mission."

Lin Yiyang felt that this time, it was most appropriate for him to go. He had ways to deal with the immortal cultivators, and besides Lin Qingwan, he was the most suitable person here.

Burning food and grass can be done almost secretly. There is no need to make a big fuss. If you are discovered, evacuate in time. If you have the chance, burn their food and grass secretly. Therefore, it is most suitable for people with high cultivation and flexible thinking to complete it.

Lin Xiaochen knew Lin Yiyang, he was upright, not good at petty theft, and had a straightforward mind. Lin Xiaochen thought about it and realized that this matter couldn't be delayed. It was just a matter of two days. If they missed the canyon, it would not be so easy to burn their food and grass.

Only a few breaths of time passed, and Lin Xiaochen made a decision: "Yi Yang, you and Jin Ping go together. Sometimes, you can discuss more with your younger brother. This matter should not be difficult for you."

Lin Qingwan couldn't help but admire her father when she heard this. He was really good at knowing how to use people. His elder brother, Lin Yiyang, was too upright and straightforward. Being too straightforward in doing some things was not necessarily a good thing. Lin Jinping was smart and tactful. He had a quick mind when encountering things. Although he was not as capable as Lin Yiyang, the two of them complemented each other.

"I request to go with you." Zhong Hanyan also wanted to go. She was more familiar with the situation at the front. Therefore, with her leading the way, things would go more smoothly.

Lin Xiaochen thought about it and nodded in agreement. This matter was finalized.

"Father, leave the task of delivering the letter to the capital to me. I will go and come back quickly." Lin Qingwan took on the task of delivering the letter alone, because she wanted to see the situation on Jun Moyan's side and discuss the next course of action with Jun Moyan, the War King.

In addition, before she left the capital, had she completed all the tasks that she had arranged for her people to do? She needed to see. This time when she returned, she needed to bring them all with her. After all, the war was imminent, and it was time for these people she had trained to contribute.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll write the letter after the meeting." Lin Xiaochen had already learned from Lin Yiyang that Lin Qingwan was an immortal cultivator. Although he was a little surprised before, it was not surprising when he thought about her life experience.

The subsequent discussions were all about military garrisons and the resettlement of the people in the city. Although they were not urgent, they were also very important matters. Lin Qingwan listened to them one by one. Soon, the dark sky fell, and the meeting ended. Everyone dispersed.
