I am the empress, you still tell me to run away?

"As for this person, he disturbed the morale of the army and beheaded him!"

A school captain from an unknown aristocratic family?

For the time being, Lin Xuan is not interested in asking about the specific origin, let alone knowing the other party's purpose.

As for waiting for the effect of the medicine to take effect, many people recover as a result, and then regain the hearts of the people, Lin Xuan even disdains to do it.

You know, the grassland Huan people have already gone south, and they will cross the border of Dagan in less than ten and a half months. He doesn't have that much time to explain and let people understand the truth.

What's more, the truth has always been piled up by bloodshed and human life.

When someone is cured, the misunderstanding will naturally be resolved.

"General, please spare me! Please spare me!"

When spreading rumors, he was full of confidence and anger. Who would have thought that Lin Xuan would kill him as soon as he came.

The captain suddenly panicked and begged for mercy, but after a while, the begging turned into a scream and stopped abruptly.

Immediately, the entire wounded battalion fell silent, and it was divided according to Lin Xuan's division.

"Those who don't want to take the medicine, let them resist by themselves, and whoever dares to continue to spread rumors and waste medicine, beheaded!"

"There are also those who have thrown away the medicinal materials. When the wind and cold recover, they will be staffed with twenty army sticks!"

Lin Xuan added another order, and left with dozens of guards from the Beiluo Imperial Army behind him.

Do you know how difficult it is to purchase and collect these medicinal materials?

Those brain-dead families stare at the Xiangzhou Army every day.

You must know that there are some medicinal materials that other healthy soldiers volunteered to pick when they went to cut trees and logs.

Ordinary medicinal materials are okay. Some medicinal materials grow on cliffs, and players will not feel anything in the game. At worst, they commit suicide and return to the city after collecting the medicine.

However, this is the real world, if you really fall, you will die.

In order to gather medicine, five soldiers have died.

This is why Lin Xuan was very angry at the person who wasted medicine just now.

People are raised by their parents. A rumor that destroys the medicinal materials that others bought with their lives is not all beheaded, it is already very kind.

However, for these people, Lin Xuan arranged for the clerks around him to record them, and they will be the first to go to the most dangerous battlefield in the future.

"General, urgent report from the front!"

As soon as they left the wounded and sick camp, some scouts rushed over out of breath.

Lin Xuan stopped and looked at the scouts.

"Scouts from the grassland Huan clan were found near Heixiong Ridge. After investigation, more than 2000 scouts appeared near Heixiong Ridge."

The scout quickly reported and took out the military documents for the guard of Heixiong Ridge.

Lin Xuan glanced at the military documents, his expression darkened.

Did it come so fast?

Chapter 118 The Empress Expressed A Little Worried

Beiluo, the capital of heaven, and Taining Palace in the imperial city.

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan ate the fish in front of her, paired with white rice, it was tasteless.

She didn't feel this way when it was released before, but Lin Xuan's braised fish has been eaten many times, and she feels that nothing tastes good.

However, with her daughter Ji Handan in front of her, no matter how dissatisfied she was with the food in front of her, the Empress Dowager Li Ningyan still kept her original appearance.

Naturally, a large bowl of white rice is required.

I believe that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will be very happy to hear the good news that she has eaten another big bowl of rice.

"Why, you have been here for a long time without saying a word?"

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan put down her chopsticks after eating, wiped her mouth, washed her hands, and rinsed her mouth while being served by the maid.

The maids cleaned up the dishes on the table, and then everyone withdrew except the old eunuch Yu Jingyi.

"The queen mother is eating, and the daughter is fine after a while."

Empress Ji Han smiled.

Now it is working hard inside and outside the court, and it is gradually changing after the reform.

Outside the imperial court, there is papermaking technology to speed up the spread of cultural knowledge, so that Daqian will have more talents in the future.

With the rapid spread of iron smelting, Dagan has many iron workshops, and Dagan has more and more iron farm tools, which increases the efficiency of people's farmland cultivation.

With the spread of fairy grains such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, people have more choices in addition to planting grains such as millet, rice, wheat, and sorghum. There will be no risk of famine in the future Dagan.

Everything is going in a good direction.

If you really want to talk about trouble, after Sima Zhao's death, the aristocratic families are hostile to the royal family, and some people feel insecure and very dissatisfied.

However, Sima Zhao would die because he had an objection, coveting the throne, he deserved death, and the aristocratic family had nothing to protest.

The only worry is that Empress Ji Handan can exterminate a Sima family today, and they will be exterminated tomorrow.

Ji Handan knew about this, and so did Empress Dowager Li Ningyan.

Therefore, it is rare that after Lin Xuan went to the Xiangzhou Army, both the royal family and the aristocratic families entered a state of extinction, maintaining a very strange balance.

In addition, the families of this and the family have discovered the huge benefits brought about by ironmaking and the promotion of immortal food, and the families of various families are making rapid deployments for the sake of future stability.

"You came here to talk about the situation of Boy Lin?"

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan smiled, her daughter came here, except for state affairs, she was Lin Xiaozi.

Everything at present is developing according to her plan, so there is no need to worry about it.

"The 40 troops of the Huan tribe in the grassland went south, and some of them disappeared. The suspected direction of attack was Heixiong Ridge and Gucheng Ruins, where Lin Xuan was stationed."

"Chengjiang Kingdom is also ready to move. At present, nearly 20 troops have been assembled on the border of Dagan. It is expected to send troops to invade Dagan in the spring of next year."

"These are the secret hands of Sima Zhao before his death. Lin Xuan will be under great pressure in the future. My daughter is not sure whether Lin Xuan can stop the 15 Xiangzhou army with him."

Empress Ji Handan unfolded a defense map of Yanzhou on the table, showing the garrison sites of Yanbei Army and Xiangzhou Army very clearly.

As for Lin Xuan's life, Ji Handan was not worried. The 500 Beiluo Guards arranged for Lin Xuan were responsible for Lin Xuan's life.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Xuan can command the Beiluo Forbidden Army, but when it comes to Lin Xuan's life safety, it depends on the situation.

"It's very cold today. My Daqian Xiangzhou suffered from floods first, then drought, and there was famine." Empress Dowager Li Ningyan said unhurriedly: "It seems that I have suffered a famine, but in fact Wei and Yu also suffered from famine." In this way, there were famines in the three countries, and as for the Chu country, it was suffering from floods, and the climate change was unprecedented."

"Do you still remember what Lin Xuan said before? It's freezing cold. If the barbarians in the northern grasslands have nothing to eat, they will starve to death. In order to find a way to survive, they will risk their lives and go south to invade Wei and us. Do it big, grab a way out."

"The Ai family heard that after the Huan people in the grassland became the overlord of the eastern grassland this time, they couldn't wait to gather an army of 40 to go south. Not surprisingly, the grassland also suffered unimaginable natural disasters."

"This forces them to desperately need a fight, whether it's reducing the population or taking a morsel of food."

"Boy Lin has a heavy burden on his shoulders."

The Queen Mother looked at the map, pointed to a few points on the map, and asked, "These points should be what Lin Xiaozi asked for from the Yanbei Army?"

Empress Ji Handan nodded: "Yes, these places belong to remote and dangerous areas. Lin Xuan chose these areas. In the past, the chances of encountering attacks are not high. But this time the grassland has 40 troops, and it is not ruled out that they will march It’s dangerous, divide up and attack here.”

"If that's the case, it would be dangerous for Lin Xuan to choose these places."

This is exactly what the Empress Ji Handan is worried about.

But what she didn't understand was that the grasslands were all going south, Lin Xuan didn't ask the court for swords, but instead asked the Ministry of Commerce for a lot of curved plows and agricultural iron tools.

Could it be that Lin Xuan wanted these places specifically for farming?

Theoretically speaking, most of the Xiangzhou Army are refugees.

If it is really given to them to grow the land, maybe the yield will be really high.

But Empress Ji Handan really couldn't understand doing such a thing in such a critical situation.

If it were her, she would arrange the battle strategy immediately, and before the 40 troops of the Prairie Huan people could gather, they would contain them positively, and then prepare 1 horses to directly enter the grassland and break the grassland. family's back road.

The next step is to cut the 40 steppe army into pieces and digest them all.

This is not a good idea.

The real best strategy is for the two armies to form a formation, break through the central army of the Huan tribe in the grassland, capture and kill the Khan of the Huan tribe, and the rest is for the autumn wind to sweep the fallen leaves and quickly end the battle.

However, Lin Xuan couldn't do such an operation.

It is precisely because there are some things that I can't figure out that I come to my mother's place to have a look.

Empress Dowager Li Ningyan smiled: "Although Ai's family is not familiar with military affairs, they are very confident in knowing people. The places Lin Xiaozi chose are all places with dangerous terrain. If this is the case, he should have gone there earlier. When we were in Yanzhou, we made some arrangements, and we had a plan in mind, we just need to wait here for the good news he brings."

Ah this.

Hearing what her mother said, Empress Ji Handan didn't know what to say for a while.

War is extremely dangerous, if you are not careful, people will die.

Lin Xuan, did you choose these places to stick to them?

However, even if you want to stick to it, it depends on what kind of soldiers you have in your hand!

Chapter 119 Fire Attack

Black Bear Ridge.

Lin Xuan didn't check it himself, but arranged for someone to draw a rough topographic map of the vicinity, and made a sand table showing the approximate garrison positions of the Xiangzhou Army and the Yanbei Army.

"Here, here, here..."

Lin Xuan pointed to several points in a row, and these points were all canyon-like passages, even if they were not canyons, they were all low places.

If the enemy is infantry, they will not choose these places to attack, but if they are cavalry, they will definitely go to these areas.

"Arrange those former professional hunters in the army to set up ambushes in these places, and don't let any grassland scouts go!"

According to the previous arrangement, Heixiong Ridge was guarded by the general Hao Shan, Black Marsh and Mi Xuelin were guarded by Si Hongliang, and Diaowang Village was guarded by Ai Feichi.

All three of them had an elite force of 6000 men. Compared with when the Yanbei Army was stationed, the defense was much stronger.

However, if there is a real war with the Huan tribe in the grassland, these soldiers who have not been trained much are still worrying.

You know, some military generals in this world can open Wushuang when they go crazy.

Therefore, Lin Xuan would not choose to sit on the front line whenever he was fighting, and things like feather fans and scarves should be left in the tent of the Chinese army.

If one were to watch from the front line, there would have to be 500 Beiluo Imperial Guards by his side.

"Hao Shan."

"The end is here!"

Hao Shan came out and apologized to Lin Xuan and stood by.

Lin Xuan said: "Pile up and spread the dry firewood collected in the past half a month in these valleys, and cover it with fallen leaves and weeds as much as possible. Especially in this valley, more firewood, remember to ask the army to prepare more kerosene arrow."

The eyes of Lu Xueyi, a student of the Imperial College who stood behind Lin Xuan, lit up. The teacher wanted to attack with fire.

The Huan people in the prairie are mainly cavalry, and their combat power is strong. When they fight on the plains, their combat power increases greatly under the army formation.

Therefore, the teacher Lin Xuan chose the only way for the Huan people in these grasslands.

As long as these places are stuck and the prairie soldiers come in, the prairie soldiers must be unable to escape when there is a fire, and the losses will be heavy.

What's more, it is late autumn, when the vegetation is withered and yellow, the weather is less rainy and the wind is strong. When the fire comes together, the fire will inevitably be like a dragon, and it will last for thousands of miles.

It turned out that this was the real reason why the teacher ordered tens of thousands of people to chop firewood and collect it as soon as he arrived at the ancient city market!

Wonderful!

Hao Shan responded: "Obey!"

Lin Xuan didn't know what the students behind him were thinking, so he continued to order: "Before the war, hundreds of people are routinely deployed on both sides of these valleys to guard them. Just as much!"

Lu Xueyi's eyes lit up, the teacher's purpose was indeed for Huo Gong.

Is it just wrong to attack like this?

Lin Xuan said: "The most urgent thing is to send someone to find out how many people from the grassland Huan tribe have come here, and this matter should be done quickly!"

Hao Shan saluted again: "Obey!"
