"His Majesty's marriage …" Hong Wu thought for a while after hearing the content from the radio. "I will return as soon as possible!"
"Madam Hong, this matter is not urgent. The matters at the frontlines are more urgent. The soldiers of Great Xia were stationed at the frontline. If Sir Hong returned, what would happen to the 30,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians? Just leave these matters to us. Right now, the main thing is that we haven't set a date for the wedding yet! "Shi Qing said in a deep voice.
"Naturally, we have to kill Great Xia first! Initially, I wanted to let them wear down some of their soldiers … Don't worry, Great Elder, I know what I'm doing! As for the wedding date … I think I need to think about it carefully. "Hong Wu strode out of the room after he finished speaking.
"Bring me my saber!" Hong Wu shouted as he walked out of the door.
"My lord?" Someone revealed a puzzled expression. However, someone quickly ran to Hong Wu's side with a long-handled broadsword.
Hong Wu stretched out his hand and took it. He raised the long saber to the sky and swung it down. The house in front of Hong Wu was instantly split into two.
Hong Wu threw the saber to the guard and said, "Go and check the flashbangs. There must not be any mistakes. Also, get someone to watch the weather and inform me at any time! "
"Yes!"
"From today onwards, when the battalions are defending the city during the day, the time that each battalion spends guarding the city will be reduced to six hours. The rest of the time, you are to recuperate and build up your strength, awaiting my orders."
"Milord, aren't you being too hasty?" The deputy general beside him immediately stepped forward and asked. He instantly understood the meaning behind Hong Wu's order.
"If that's what you think, then Great Xia will naturally think the same. No matter what, they wouldn't have thought that I would attack. At night, they would use flash grenades to launch a surprise attack. Then, they would harass, divide, and strangle them. Firstly, the opponent was caught off guard, and secondly, he was blinded by the flash grenade. In his panic, he was like a piece of meat on a chopping board! "
"I still don't understand why you suddenly made such a decision. If that's the case, the other party will retreat back to Tiesuo Pass when they see that the situation is not good." The deputy general was puzzled.
If they only had the original 20,000 soldiers, it would be good if they could defend the city. Fortunately, another 10,000 soldiers were transferred over. Although they were new soldiers, the ordinary aboriginals had considerable fighting strength. These new soldiers were recruited from the villages in the Sixty Thousand Mountains.
This way, the Protectorate of the North would have a little more ability to counterattack.
It was only when 20,000 stun grenades were delivered from the rear that Hong Wu finally had the ability to keep the Great Xia soldiers here.
However, 30,000 soldiers were still not enough to keep the 500,000 soldiers of Great Xia here. After all, Ping City was so close to Tiesuo Pass that it would take less than a day's journey to get there.
Even if the surprise attack was successful, the enemy would naturally retreat after suffering a great defeat.
Even if all 30,000 troops were to attack and kill their way through, at least half of the remaining 430,000 troops would be able to retreat back to Tiesuo Pass.
According to the original plan, they would first whittle down a third of the enemy's forces at the foot of the city, then break through the enemy's main camp in one fell swoop. After that, they would kill their way through. At most, the enemy would have fifty to eighty thousand soldiers left to retreat.
Hong Wu frowned slightly, his heart was not calm. If the empress's marriage didn't happen, he would naturally follow the original plan. However, he couldn't wait any longer.
Even though he could use the radio station to communicate, he still wanted to make a trip back to Lan City.
He said solemnly. "You go ahead and make the arrangements. I have my own arrangements."
After sending the deputy away, Hong Wu went to the hall and looked at the map on the table in silence. He then drew a circle around Tiesuo Pass and the other two border passes of Great Xia.
…
Ren Baqian's breakthrough to the Earth Wheel level caused quite a stir in the academy. They were still guessing what had happened when Ren Baqian didn't come to class for the past two days. They didn't expect him to break through secretly.
Even though an Earth Wheel expert wasn't considered an expert, it took Ren Baqian less than two years to go from an ordinary person to an Earth Wheel expert! This speed made those students rather envious and jealous!
Of course, Tong Lan was the most unhappy one. She felt that there wouldn't be many opportunities for her to take revenge while practicing martial arts.
At least, it wouldn't be as easy as before.
Ren Baqian had just broken through. She should put more effort into practicing martial arts next time.
If Ren Baqian knew what Tong Lan was thinking, he would definitely feel that he had given the students too little homework.
They probably hadn't seen what it meant to have a sea of homework and questions!
However, Ren Baqian was in a good mood. After suffering for so many years, he was finally going to become a wife.
On the way to the empress's quarters, he saw someone who shouldn't be there coming out of the empress's quarters. This made him wonder if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
It was Lin Qiaole, who had delicate features, carried a pair of A's, and spent 24 hours a day eating, sleeping, and drooling!
Ren Baqian had always equated her with a pig. The only difference was that she could fight better than a pig!
After returning from Tianjing Basin, he hadn't seen Lin Qiaole anywhere else other than when he went to Qingxin Palace Hall to see her snoring away.
He didn't know which direction the sun rose from today, but Lin Qiaole actually came out from Qingxin Palace Hall?
"Sniff …" When Lin Qiaole saw him, she jumped to his side and sniffed. Then, she placed her hand on the back of his waist and moved downward again and again. She pulled the bag of sweets that was hanging on his waist and beamed with joy. Lin Qiaole's eyes lit up.
"Why did you come out?" Ren Baqian didn't care about the bag of sweets and felt that it was strange.
"Grandma wants to see Her Majesty, but she can't come out." Lin Qiaole happily grabbed a piece of chocolate from the bag, skillfully peeled it, and threw it into her mouth. Then, her face twitched.
"Pfft! What's this taste? Why is it so disgusting? "Lin Qiaole spat a few mouthfuls of saliva and looked lifeless.
Ren Baqian glanced at it and saw that it was indeed dark chocolate with 90 percent cocoa content.
He had to admit that this thing was really disgusting. To describe it, it was similar to drinking Chinese medicine without rock sugar.
That day, when he was buying sweets at the supermarket, he accidentally caught it and mixed it with the sweets. Even the empress fell for it once.
"Librarian Lin can't come out?" Ren Baqian was curious about the other sentence that Lin Qiaole said.
"Grandma is afraid of light! She never comes out during the day! " Lin Qiaole said with a bitter face. She felt that her tongue was full of bitterness, and she only felt better after throwing a few pieces of sweets into her mouth. Then, she beamed with joy.
He had to admit that Lin Qiaole was a person who was easily satisfied.
"There's such a thing!" Ren Baqian was slightly surprised as this was the first time he heard of it.
"It's been so many years! In any case, I have never seen Grandma come out! " Lin Qiaole muttered, then waved at Ren Baqian and said, "Grandma looking for Her Majesty has something to do with you! You will know when the time comes! Let's go! "
"Something to do with me? Could it be related to my martial arts? "Ren Baqian thought for a while and then went to see the empress.
She was sitting on the couch in a daze. Her eyes weren't focused, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Your Majesty?"
"Ah?" The empress trembled when she heard his voice as if she was shocked.
"What are you thinking about, Your Majesty?" Ren Baqian asked with a smile.
"Just a small matter!" The empress's gaze drifted away, and it was obvious that she didn't mean it.
She then calmed herself down, sat upright, and said with a serious face, "I have something important to tell you!"
"Please speak, Your Majesty!" Ren Baqian said.
"…" The empress looked at Ren Baqian with a serious face. Then, her mind was in chaos, and her head began to emit hot air … It was like steam rising more than three meters high.
The empress looked away and said, "It's nothing!"
"Your Majesty, this move must be the legendary [Gathering of Three Flowers and Five Energies Toward One's Origin]! It's really an eye-opener for me! "Ren Baqian exclaimed.
The empress blushed from her neck to her ears.
"Is there really nothing else, Your Majesty?" Ren Baqian looked at the empress's attitude and asked with a smile.
"There's nothing else!" The empress tried to calm her voice.
"Really?"
