Lin Han looked at the destroyed stronghold in front of him and the corpses of the Xianbei people lying all over the place at his feet, his expression calm.

"Which stronghold is this?"

"Twenty-one." Dian Wei said.

"Collect the troops."

Lin Han led the troops back to the camp.

As soon as he arrived at the camp, he heard a system prompt.

"System reminder: Attention, players! The Xingyang bandits killed the Zhongmu magistrate. The imperial court is furious and has ordered He Miao to eliminate the Xingyang bandits. The event [Xingyang Rebellion] has begun. During the event, killing Xingyang bandits will earn you ten times the military merit, but there is a death penalty. Players are free to participate. The event will last for two months. During this period, Xingyang bandits killed by players can be revived within one day until the end of the event. Xingyang bandits killed by imperial troops cannot be revived. If the Xingyang bandit leader dies during the event, the event will automatically end."

"System reminder: All players, please note that Han Sui has killed Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, raised an army of over 100,000, and is besieging Longxi. Prefect Li Xiangru and Prefect Huang Yan of Jiuquan have rebelled and joined forces with Han Sui. The event [Han Sui Rebellion] has begun. During this event, killing Han Sui's troops will earn you ten times the military merit, with a death penalty. Players are free to participate. This event will last for one year. During this period, Han Sui's soldiers killed by players can be revived within three days until the end of the event. Han Sui's soldiers killed by imperial troops cannot be revived. If Han Sui dies during the event, the event will automatically end."

The two activities were launched one after another, and together with the [Xianbei Rebellion], it gave people a feeling that a storm was about to come.

Shortly after the system prompted, the spy came to report the latest intelligence.

"General, upon hearing of your northern expedition, the Xianbei bandits have largely retreated. Han Sui has risen again in Longxi, Liang Province. The Grand Commandant has ordered Zhuo Commander Gongsun Zan to lead 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry to support Longxi, Liang Province."

Gongsun Zan led 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry to attack Liang Province.

Lin Han was stunned. His team had fought so hard, but still couldn't avoid the occurrence of historical events.

It was because of this military order that Zhang Chuncha, a native of Yuyang and the prime minister of Zhongshan, was unable to lead a general and rebelled against the Han camp. It was also because of this incident that the rebellion of the bandits could not be resolved and Zhang Wen stepped down.

"Where is Gongsun Zan?"

"I don't know, General."

"Explore further."

Lin Han summoned all the generals and informed them.

"Now Zhang Wen is dispatching 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry to Liang Province. What are your thoughts?"

"This is a terrible plan. Zhang Wen is foolish." Tian Feng shook his head and sighed. "The issues in You and Bing provinces haven't been resolved yet, and they've transferred troops to Liang province. The rear is unstable. They're marching thousands of miles away, fighting in a foreign land, and it's difficult to replenish their supplies. It's dangerous. Zhang Wen, this official-buying thief, is nothing more than this."

The corners of Lin Han's mouth twitched.

Tian Feng is a straight man who really dares to speak his mind.

After calming down, Tian Feng said, "We should not move. We should first eliminate the Xianbei bandits in Shanggu and Dai counties, and then seek other options."

"Yuan Hao, I have an idea that I haven't told you yet. What do you think?" Lin Han looked around and said, "If we unite the troops of the Great Xia Dynasty, these Xianbei..."

Tian Feng's expression was extremely shocked, and his eyes fell on the marching map.

"My Lord, are you serious?"

"really."

"If we unite with the Great Xia Dynasty's troops, the Xianbei will be destroyed," Tian Feng said excitedly. "The Xianbei have invaded our Han territory, and their army is stationed in Danhan Mountain, leaving their rear empty. If we hold back the Xianbei troops, the Great Xia Dynasty can send troops deep into the heart of the Xianbei territory and seize Langjuxu and Longcheng. If we let them finish off their retreat, they will surely perish."

"Then our goal now is to hold back the Xianbei army. The rest will be left to the Great Xia Dynasty army."

"My Lord, is there really a way to get the Great Xia Dynasty to take action?"

"Of course there is. After I left for the expedition, Wenhe went to the Great Xia Dynasty to discuss the matter of a joint military expedition." Lin Han smiled mysteriously, "Now we just have to wait for news."

Tian Feng was overjoyed.

…

Lin Han's side was advancing steadily. After eliminating the Xianbei guerrillas in Zhuo County and Shanggu County, Lin Han ordered most of his troops to advance towards Dai County.

All Xianbei soldiers were killed.

The situation is under steady control and is proceeding step by step according to his ideas.

Just when Lin Han thought there was no problem, problems arose.

The quartermaster arrived.

"General, the imperial court's food and supplies have not yet arrived, and the army is running low on food and supplies. We can only hold out for more than half a month. If we run out of food and supplies, continuing to march will cause trouble."

"Insufficient food and wages? What's going on? Why hasn't the imperial court's food and wages arrived yet?"

"The bandits in Xingyang and Liangzhou are on the rise, and the court officials have proposed diverting the food and supplies heading north. It's understood that the food and supplies for Youzhou and Bingzhou haven't arrived yet. If we hadn't brought enough food and fodder, and seized food and fodder from the Xianbei strongholds, we'd probably be exhausted by now."

"day."

Lin Han almost burst into curses.

He has 30,000 soldiers and horses here, and their daily food and drink costs a huge amount.

There is no food or money on the front lines, and the court is full of good-for-nothings making orders. It is a miracle that the Han Dynasty did not fall.

"You go down first. I will find a way to solve the issue of food and wages."

Lin Han asked the quartermaster to leave and immediately called Tian Feng, Bai Qi and others into the tent to discuss matters.

"The bandits in Xingyang are rebelling, and Longxi is in chaos. The imperial court is sending food and supplies for the northern expedition elsewhere, but our supplies haven't arrived yet. The army only has half a month's supply. What solutions do you have?"

"Has the army's food and supplies not arrived yet?" Tian Feng was furious and cursed: "The march, the supply of food and supplies, is a matter of life and death, a matter of victory or defeat. How can you be so careless? Those good-for-nothings in the court are truly assholes."

"Yuan Hao, now is not the time to be angry. Solving the food and grass problem is the top priority."

"My lord, our territory is in the Jingyang area. If we rush back to transport food and fodder, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst." Tian Feng said worriedly: "Now..."

"Report to the general, urgent military information."

Outside the camp, Baili Jia interrupted Tian Feng with urgent military information.
