"How many enemy troops have crossed the border?" Shen Bai asked while looking at the battle report.

"More than 8 cavalry!" replied the sergeant.

Shen Bai didn't say anything to signal him to go down first.

"What should we do?" Xu Jin asked next to him, "Should we send troops to rescue elder brother?"

"Brother didn't fall for their tricks, but broke into the enemy's territory just to disrupt the enemy's deployment." Shen Bai analyzed: "What's more, my army still has [-] cavalry left behind in Yunzhou. Let's see how long the White Wolf Army can last?"

"Is the eldest brother going to be okay?" Xu Jin was still a little worried.

"We use war to support war. I hope that the elder brother's control can be flexible and let the other party be led by him." Shen Bai actually felt a little far away from Suiyuan's Jia Shiqing and couldn't understand the feeling of being close to fire. What should he do now? Dealing with the [-] White Wolf Army entering the country.

Summoning the generals, Shen Bai sent Jia Shizhong and Jia Shijun each with [-] infantry to set up camp at the junction of Youyun to prevent the enemy from surprise attacking the Duhu Mansion and Jinkou Port.

On the other hand, he also has to consider a large-scale corps assembly to conduct a battle against the enemy from Yunzhou.

"We already have 300 million people under our rule, why not recruit on a large scale?" Zihuan asked, looking at Shen Bai who was so worried that he didn't eat much.

This is already Shen Bai's second meal without taste.

"All the active troops in the state below are less than 12, and the standing troops are more, [-]." Shen Bai ate a mouthful of food: "But the end of the year is approaching, I really can't bear to force conscription at this time."

"But we care about this, and the other party doesn't care. If we don't take action, I'm afraid they will be in danger at the end of the year." Xu Jin persuaded.

"Let's think about it, if necessary, we should bring the existing garrison there and carry out a personal conquest!" Shen Bai said as he put down his bowl and chopsticks.

Zihuan looked at Xu Jin, who expressed his innocence.

Yu Wentuo checked the report sent by Shen Bai, and called Shu Yu to discuss.

"Do you want to take soldiers to go around and help Shen Bai?"

Yu Wentuo looked at Shu Yu, but Shu Yu was silent, rare and quiet.

"What?" Yu Wentuo looked at him puzzled.

"Compared to helping Shen Bai, why not send troops out of Yunzhou and enter Suiyuan, and find a way to have a good fight with Jia Shiqing near Xijing." Shu Yu said firmly.

"Go to Suiyuan?" Yu Wentuo touched his cheek and took a light breath: "This is a very bold idea, but there are hundreds of thousands of troops there!"

"Jia Shiqing dares to go deep alone, so what am I afraid of? As the commander of the palace, I have lived in Bianjing for a long time. Except for the battle of Yanshan, I have never led an army. I really want to use my horse and whip to help Shen Bai on the frontal battlefield." One time." Shu Yu spoke out his thoughts, how could his enthusiasm of a manly man be bound by the change of official position.

"How many people are you going to take?" Yu Wentuo asked back.

"Thirty thousand." Shu Yu's answer was simple and confident, revealing the inner strength of a warrior.

Yu Wentuo sighed lightly, and said to Eunuch Wang: "Prime Minister Wang Mingzhang Jingzhao stays behind, and the title of Grand Master."

Shu Yu bowed his head, this is where Yu Wentuo was brilliant. He first landed in the back of the northwest, so that no matter what he was in the front, the gate of the northwest would not be lost, and Wang Mingzhang was nailed to the northwest.

Of the four major relatives, three were away. If Gu Changyong didn't announce his return to Beijing for a day, none of his relatives would be a shit-stirring stick in Bianjing.

"You lead the army, when are you going to leave?" Yu Wentuo asked Shu Yu, looking at him.

"I'm going to leave tomorrow." Shu Yu replied.

Yu Wentuo nodded: "Pay attention to your own safety, and fight back against Yunzhou after joining forces with Jia Shiqing. Breaking the siege of Yunzhou is a great achievement."

Shu Yu bowed his hands and stepped back.

Yu Wentuo looked at the door outside the house and remained silent.

Eunuch Wang stood aside, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Yu Wentuo.

Half an hour later, Yu Wentuo picked up a jade tube pen and wrote on the secret booklet: "Chen Bing fifty thousand at the border of Yunzhou, one hundred thousand at the Yellow River, bombarded the demonstration on the other side, and the army is ready to cross the border to attack Xijing at any time."

After finishing writing, he put down his pen: "Hurry up and send it to Beiyuan Protectorate."

On December 23, Shen Bai's announcement to the newly established "Zhongshu Sheng" was posted to the entire administration.

"The border is restless, and the lives of the army are hanging by a thread. There is no reason to defend the land and protect the border. The enemy's surprise attack, hundreds of thousands of gold and iron horses are ready to go. My soldiers and horses are twice as weak as the enemy, but the morale Be high-spirited, with one heart and one mind. The New Year is approaching, and I pray to the Quartet that I am willing to lead the Northern Expedition again, wipe out the barbarians, and defend the country at the border. I am hereby asking the 300 million elders in Zhongshu for orders. All men aged 45 to [-] are willing to Those who join the army will give up their lives to join the army; all reserve soldiers, those who are loyal to the emperor and patriots, will give up their homes and go to righteousness; even though the war is coming, they will never be forced to join the army before the year, and everything is voluntary. The soil is deeply gracious, and I bow down!"

Such a notice was sent out a day ago and delivered to all counties overnight, causing an uproar in Zhongshu Province on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

"Is he stupid and loyal, or is he heroic?" Xiao Qi had already received a secret report the next day, and this notice had been posted yesterday in Youzhou, where the capital of Zhongshu is located.

Xiao Qi looked at the wind and snow outside the window, and snorted coldly: "They are all lunatics, hum, lunatics!"

Yu Wentuo received a notice from the Ministry of Education in the court, and asked people to read it out in the court hall. He himself sighed lightly, the world is changing rapidly, and the stars are changing.

For Shen Bai, there is nothing to seal, and there is nothing to reward.

"He really has sincere feelings for Jia Shiqing and others." Yu Wentuo looked at Yue Wang Yu Wenzhen and others and sighed.

Shen Bai, who had eaten a bowl of longevity noodles in the morning, received a reward from Shunzi.

"Xiao Yan is back."

Xiao Yan came from outside the door: "Master, the last general invites you to fight."

Shen Bai shook his head in relief: "You have to continue to practice at sea, no matter what the situation ahead is, going to Qiongzhou on the seventh day of the first lunar month will not change, and the sky will not change."

Xiao Yan looked at him with reddish eyes.

Shen Bai got up, opened the map of the sea, pointed to the current Taiwan, and the island called Ryukyu on the map: "After the ship arrives at Ryukyu, don't move, order the Fuzhou Navy to meet you here, don't wait for the Guangdong Navy, just rush over to catch it by surprise. .”

"Master, the battle in Yunzhou?" Xiao Yan looked at Shen Bai and asked.

Shen Bai raised a hand to signal him not to continue: "Prince Shen, sits in Youzhou, if there is a mistake ahead, you have to protect his safety. If the recruitment is right, step up training and send them to the front line." He pressed his hand On Xiao Yan's shoulder: "Before the seventh day of the lunar new year, the young master's back will be handed over to you."

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, the Great General of Daming Mansion Longxiang Jia Yuenan led [-] troops to support." The school army came to report.

Shen Bai picked up the Dragon Chanting Sword on the sword stand behind the handsome seat: "Go out of the city to meet me."

In the snowy weather, [-] soldiers from the Daming Mansion came forward with high morale. The veteran general Jia Yuenan took the lead and led the troops.

Shen Bai led the remaining Red Tiger Guards to meet him: "Old General!"

Jia Yuenan's beard was stained by the wind and snow, and he raised his painting halberd in return: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be polite, this old man is here to help."

Shen Bai got off his horse and saluted: "Thank you, old general!"

Jia Yuenan dismounted from the horse with the second eldest grandson, Jia Shiping, and supported Shen Bai with callused hands: "A generation of scholars and ghosts are not afraid of death, let alone the good men of our Jia family!"

Back at the Duhu Mansion, after the welcome banquet, Shen Bai called all the generals to discuss.

"Jia Shizhong and Jia Shijun are the former generals of the army, and they have already handed over the defense in Youyun. Yelu'an used his troops cunningly, and I'm afraid that he will sneak attack Youzhou and Jinkou.

Yu Xiaoguo. "

Yu Xiaoguo came out: "The end is here!"

"You lead the headquarters with [-] soldiers and horses guarding the entrance of Jinkou, so there is nothing to lose, but if there is an enemy situation, assist the navy and the deputy commander Xiao Yan to retreat from the enemy together."

"Yes!" Yu Xiaoguo led the order to go back.

"Jia Shile!"

"The end is here!" Jia Shile had already recovered from his serious injuries, and he was full of vigor.

"You are guarding the general army of Zhongshu Province, and you train recruits full-time. There must be no mistakes."

"The last general respects his life!"

"Old General Jia!" Shen Bai looked at Jia Yuenan.

"The veteran is here!" Jia Yuenan got up from the first position on the right hand.

"You and Prince Shen stay in Youzhou, and the Imperial Army dispatched later in the court will give you 4 troops, plus the daimyo's headquarters army, a total of [-] people. There is nothing wrong with guarding Youzhou!"

"Obey!" Jia Yuenan said angrily.

Shen Bai glanced at Zihuan, who was worried about him, nodded, and stood up: "Jia Shizhong and Jia Shijun are the front army, and the Chihuwei and [-] infantry from the headquarters are the rear army. Sixty thousand troops and seventeen generals will be dispatched tomorrow morning." Yunzhou."

"The commander-in-chief is mighty!" All the generals stood up and shouted together.

"Fourth brother didn't bring Zihuan, why didn't he take Wei brother?" After the military meeting, Xu Jin came into Shen Bai's room and said.

Shen Bai looked at him, and said, "Third Brother Chuqi will accompany Miss Hang to Qiongzhou, don't delay."

Xu Jin looked at him with a blushing face: "I, I won't go to Qiongzhou anymore, I'll accompany you to Yunzhou to save elder brother, I was the one who proposed to save people, so what's the point if I run away now?"

Shen Bai smiled: "I didn't have anyone's suggestion to prompt me to send troops. Sending troops is my duty. Your task is to go to Qiongzhou to avenge Miss Hang, then marry her back home, and give birth to a little Xu Jin early to see if it's right. Not as naughty as you."

"Fourth brother!" Xu Jin looked at Shen Bai with red eyes.

"Go." Shen Bai patted him: "I want to spend more time with Zihuan tonight."

Xu Jin looked at Zihuan, who looked like he had lost his soul without saying a word, and finally left without saying anything.

Shen Bai was lying on the bed, with his head resting on Zihuan's lap: "Hey, I'm just a hard worker!"

Zihuan gently stroked the bun on his forehead: "It's for loyalty and righteousness, when will you be able to do it for me?"

Shen Bai pulled his head over and gave him a long kiss: "I live, every day is for you, from now on!"

"Don't put yourself in danger." Zihuan said while stroking his face.

"Don't worry, don't I still know a master who is prophetic? If I am in danger, he will tell me." Shen Bai brought out Master Huiguang to comfort him.

"Okay, take a bath, and go to the expedition tomorrow refreshed." Zihuan said with a sigh of relief.

Shen Bai got up, holding his face: "Wash together, and accompany me well tonight."
