"Everyone, I have just explained to you the importance of this national war."

"This time, we must give our all, and give it our all unconditionally."

"Tell me, what good suggestions do you have?"

Lu Ping looked around and spoke loudly.

The hall fell into a brief silence.

"My lord, the strength of the lords within a 300-mile radius around us is not very strong. It will be easy for us to defeat them."

"But I believe that the Lord's target is definitely not just them. The Lord's goal should be to eliminate more powerful lords."

"But if that happens, we'll have to increase our troops."

"But if we want to increase our troops, we need more food, and the problem is that we don't have enough food right now."

Wang Anshi speaking.

"Well, you're right, but I can handle this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."

Lu Ping nodded.

Food is indeed a big problem.

But Lu Ping has already solved this problem.

Just now, Lu Ping received a message from Gao Tianyi, and learned that the military had ordered the collection of 30 million kilograms of food for Lu Ping.

"My Lord, if that's the case, then there's no problem. We can recruit another 70,000 soldiers."

"Counting the original 110,000 soldiers, the available force will be 180,000."

Wang Anshi continued.

"My lord, since our army is well-equipped, I believe we can split up our forces and attack the surrounding lords first, and then decide on the next course of action based on the situation."

Yue Fei stood up and said.

"Yeah, that's what I meant."

"General Su, please report what you have discovered in recent days."

Lu Ping nodded, then gave instructions to Su Dingfang.

"yes!"

Then, Su Dingfang stood up.

"My lord, according to our current investigation, there are six lords surrounding us. These six lords are all of average strength, with the smallest number of troops less than 40,000 and the largest less than 60,000."

"Further away, there are five powerful lords. Each of these five lords has at least 100,000 troops."

"In particular, there is a lord five hundred miles to the east who is quite powerful. His army may have reached 200,000!"

"Two hundred thousand?"

Upon hearing this, all the generals were shocked.

Hearing this number, Lu Ping also frowned.

Two hundred thousand soldiers is indeed not a small number.

It may not be easy to capture this lord.

"My lord, this person is still far away from us, and there are other lords in between. We don't need to worry about him in the short term."

"The most urgent task is to eliminate the enemy in front of us first. I believe that we should expand in two directions to the northwest as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Yue Fei immediately said.

"My lord, I agree with General Yue's opinion." Huang Zhong echoed.

"I agree as well." Bai Qi echoed.

"Okay, since you all agree, then it's settled."

"Next, let's discuss the specific battle plan."

Lu Ping said after a moment of hesitation.

"My lord, according to the current situation, our army can advance in three steps."

"The first step is to eliminate the enemies in the northwest."

"Specifically, our army can be divided into three groups, one of which will be stationed on the eastern border to prevent the eastern lord from invading."

"The other two groups will be responsible for the attack, and we will try our best to defeat the opponent in the shortest time possible and quickly digest and absorb it." Yue Fei suggested.

"Step 2..."

Yue Fei was indeed a talented commander, and he came up with a battle plan in just a few minutes.

"I agree with General Yue's suggestion."

"I agree."

After hearing Yue Fei's plan, Huo Qubing, Huang Zhong and others expressed their agreement.

"Okay, let's carry out the plan as General Yue said."

"Order General Li Jing to garrison the eastern border counties, commanding 50,000 troops."

"General Bai Qi and General Huo Qubing will be in charge of the attack in the northwest, each commanding 60,000 troops."

"Everyone, go and execute it immediately."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ping gave the order.

"Yes, sir!"

Yue Fei and others shouted in unison.

As Lu Ping's order was issued, the entire territory began to take action.

Lu Ping also came to the barracks and recruited 70,000 troops.

.......

Three days later, Bai Qi and Huo Qubing set out on their respective armies.

At the same time, Wang Anshi and other civil officials also began to prepare.

Once the territory is acquired, they will immediately take over the territory affairs.

Lu Ping did not go with the army, he needed to stay at home and command the overall situation.

When the national war begins, anything can happen.

In addition, Lu Ping was still thinking about Xia Mo and Lu Yi.

The national war is going on simultaneously on the second, third and fourth levels, and Xia Mo will definitely participate.

And Lu Yi will be out of the novice stage exactly one month later.

Lu Ping was afraid that Xia Mo would lose sight of the big picture and Lu Yi would be in danger.

Soon, Lu Ping contacted Xia Mo.

"Lu Ping, I knew you would call me."

"Are you worried about Lu Yi?"

After answering the phone, Xia Mo said with a smile.

"Yes, I am worried about her."

Lu Ping nodded in acknowledgment.

"Don't worry, I will protect her."

"Lu Yi is already level seven now, and she still has a month until she leaves the novice stage. I guarantee she can reach level nine in a month."

"We're both together, one at level 10 and the other at level 9. What are you worried about?"

Xia Mo said proudly.

"You're solely protecting her and not participating in the national war?"

"Yes, I am participating, just a month late."

"Lu Yi and I have already discussed it. Once she is out of the novice stage, we will join forces to attack."

"Yeah, that's fine too."

"But you still have to be careful."

Hearing this, Lu Ping was silent for a moment and said.

On the one hand, Lu Ping was worried about Lu Yi's safety, and on the other hand, he also hoped that Lu Yi could participate in the national war.

Regardless of achieving any good results, it is always good to accumulate some experience.

In this way, once Xia Mo enters the third floor, Lu Yi will not be in a panic.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention."

"We won't go far, we'll just move around the area."

"I've thought about it. The team battle doesn't matter. As long as I can get a good result in the individual competition later, it will be fine." Xia Mo said with a smile.

"You are quite open-minded." Lu Ping said with a smile.

"Haha, isn't this because of you? If anything happened to Lu Yi, wouldn't you beat me to death?"

Xia Mo said with a smile.

"You, really..."

Hearing this, Lu Ping was a little moved.

Being able to sacrifice one's own interests at critical moments is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. I knew you would call me, so I returned to the real world to wait for you."

"We've made an appointment to contact each other at five o'clock every night. I know you're busy, so Lu Yi and I will take turns coming back."

"Well, okay!" Lu Ping replied.
