Didn't you see the worried look on His Highness's face?!
Gong Xu glared back in dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness...what exactly..." Cui Min looked anxious.
Regardless of whether Ji Wan is angry or not, they, as counselors, must quickly find out what is going on and then come up with a solution!
"The Beirong army has now set up camp on the other side of the Yongcang River." Ji Wan knew what Gong Xu and Cui Min meant, and his expression eased a lot.
Yes, no matter what, there are so many subordinates who can share her worries.
"What?!" "What?!" The remaining subordinate groups said in unison.
"Your Highness, do you know how many soldiers the enemy has?" Lou Shao was worthy of being a first-rank cavalry general. Among a large group of panicked people, he reacted very quickly and grasped the key point.
He had originally planned to go to Dancheng with Ji Wan tomorrow to take over the city, so he did not return to Dancheng tonight.
The situation is special now, and Ji Wan can't go back to Dancheng for the time being!
Just as Ji Wan was about to answer that she didn't know, a snow-white bird of message flew down from the horizon at high speed. Like a small cannonball, it flew into Ji Wan's arms. Upon seeing Ji Wan, it began to shout in Yan Peinan's voice: "The enemy has a total of 130,000 people! Your Highness, please return at once!"
"Your Highness! Shao will return to Dan City to mobilize 90,000 troops to fight against the Northern Rong with you!"
Thirteen thousand men would certainly not just be a small fight. He had to use his own troops to fight against the Northern Rong together with His Highness! If His Highness's Qingshizhou fell, the entire Donglin Kingdom would only have one stone city pass left to defend against the Northern Rong!
"General Wenzhi, wait a minute! Dancheng also needs to be guarded. We must not mobilize most of the troops!" Pan Zhuo hurriedly spoke out to stop him, fearing that Ji Wan would get angry and agree to Lou Shao's request to let him transfer 90,000 troops at will.
If Dancheng is left empty, and the Cui and Xie families take advantage of the opportunity to send people to invade, losing the city and territory will be a loss that outweighs the gains! All our efforts will be wasted!
Ji Wan was indeed anxious, but he still had his sanity.
"Lou Shao, you and your subordinates return to Dancheng first and dispatch 50,000 soldiers to Qingshizhou for support. Those who remain in Dancheng must be men you fully trust. We'll communicate using the sound transmission bird!"
After Ji Wan finished speaking, he didn't have time to wait for Lou Shao's reply. Seeing that Jin Lie and the others had already packed up their troops, he immediately shouted, "Let's go!"
"Yes!" Lou Shao answered without hesitation on the other side, and glanced at Pan Zhuo with gratitude.
Fortunately, this person reminded him. Otherwise, if His Highness had a bad temper, he would definitely be the first to be blamed if Dan City fell.
He was not stupid. If he thought about it carefully, he would know that Pan Zhuo was doing this for the good of the overall situation.
But it was true that this person was more thoughtful than him and helped him.
It turns out that the people around His Highness are not just small-time people, but are actually talented...
Tongcheng.
Yan Peinan has already sent scouts to conduct undercover patrols.
A cavalryman, with the advantage of high ground and the weight of his warhorse, only needs a spear to trample dozens of infantrymen into a pulp.
The Northern Rong Kingdom is vast and sparsely populated, with grasslands occupying most of its terrain and very few crops. Therefore, people there basically rely on the power of nature to make a living by operating ranches and raising war horses, cattle and sheep.
Basically everyone is good at raising war horses.
Correspondingly, the Beirong Kingdom had many more war horses than the Donglin Kingdom.
But Ji Wan's situation is completely different. To feed the war horses, you first need fodder.
The Donglin Kingdom is not like the Beirong Kingdom, where the ground is covered with grass for war horses to eat at will.
So I don’t know how much it will cost to buy fodder, and do daily maintenance, disease treatment, epidemic prevention, etc.
Just the money for the fodder for the two thousand war horses in his hand could feed Ji Wan ten to twenty thousand people in a year!
To sum up, raising horses for Ji Wan is definitely not as easy as it is for the Northern Rong Kingdom, so the gap between her infantry and cavalry even reached a terrifying twenty to one!
"Otherwise, let's find an opportunity to poison all those horses to death, so that the Beirong Kingdom can no longer threaten Your Highness..." Yan Peinan also knew the gap between cavalry and infantry.
If they were to use their immortal cultivation skills to silently throw the poison into the horses...
"It is indeed a method, Xiaoyan. When did your style of doing things become the same as those black-hearted counselors?" Lin Chanhua knew what Yan Peinan was like when he first came to Qingshizhou.
As expected, there is no way to remain innocent under the hands of those black-hearted strategists!
This child was so nice when he first arrived, thinking about saving his evil spy neighbor...
"Chanhua, you're joking. I was taught this by the counselors around His Highness." Yan Peinan's tone was a little resentful. No wonder Meng's mother had to move three times in ancient times.
Working with this group of black-hearted people, even the simplest person will have to grow a little!
There are countless benefits to being a retainer under Ji Wan, the most important of which is that every time when everyone is discussing matters, they can be served by Ji Wan's retainers.
Both men and women should participate in it.
As time went on, not only her, but even the originally honest and upright Jin Lie began to have some unscrupulous thoughts.
It really proves the saying that those who keep company with vermilion will become redder, and those who keep company with ink will become blacker.
With Tuoba Feng's presence, the one-time teleportation array could be used almost infinitely. So it took Ji Wan less than a quarter of an hour to stand in the teleportation array in the middle of the stone city.
Riding on the teleportation array of the Stone City, Ji Wan felt a flash before his eyes in a flash of green light, and a sense of weightlessness came over his feet. However, within a few breaths, his eyes returned to normal.
She has arrived at the teleportation point outside Copper City!
Gu Huafeng, who was waiting at the entrance of the teleportation array, saw Ji Wan and spoke anxiously first.
"Your Highness, Mr. Lin has conducted a thorough investigation. The enemy has already set up camp on the Yongcang River, numbering approximately 130,000 men. The front of the camp has already reached the river. The leader of the troops is currently unknown."
"Okay, I understand. Let's go up now." After Ji Wan said this, he supported Yang Guan and limped up the steep steps of the city wall.
Following behind him were many subordinate groups.
The city was dark and silent; even the snowstorm seemed to have sensed the impending storm and paused temporarily.
"Chanhua, when did you discover the people from Beirong?" When Ji came in the evening, Lin Chanhua was still talking with Yan Peinan.
"I can't remember exactly, but it was probably between the end of the Hai hour and the beginning of the Zi hour. They should have just entered my spiritual awareness range at that time. Their campsite has now moved forward three miles."
Ji Wan frowned. "Based on the enemy's advancing speed, they will most likely be within three miles of Tongcheng by tomorrow night."
"Yes, Your Highness, the enemy's formation clearly shows that they are going to use human wave tactics... If we had the support of the entire Donglin Kingdom behind us, it would be easier to fight." Cui Min pondered for a long time before speaking.
The current emperor of Donglin Kingdom has died.
