Lu Han stopped and looked at Guo Ning.

She said: "I will make steamed cakes for you to eat tomorrow... I also have honey, which is also very sweet."

Guo Ning laughed heartily, waved vigorously, and returned to the military camp.

When the two were young, they lived together in a border fort in Changzhou, ate in the same kitchen, and experienced many wars together. In this case, the two of them have said this to each other countless times, and to other companions.

Guo Ning went to the battlefield for the first time when he was thirteen years old. Before going out with the knife, he told Lu Han to be careful. He was obviously telling some shameless jokes just a moment ago, but when this sentence came out suddenly, Lu Han cried.

Lu Han also made steamed cakes for Guo Ning that day. But there was no honey at that time, not to mention honey, not even brown sugar or brown sugar.

The war is so cruel. As years and years pass, the more the two of them experience, the more they realize that life and death are a matter of fate, and sometimes it has little to do with being careful or not.

The two of them were only half-children back then, and the old soldiers in Changzhou were more experienced and more careful than they were. However, after a few big battles, all the living people were reduced to blood and mud and submerged. The soil and the military fortresses are not the same.

Even if Guo Ning's status gradually changed, Lu Han's status also rose accordingly. But when the sword comes to you, who will recognize you as an official? Even if the marshals, governors, governors, and households of the Great Jin Kingdom fled faster than the others, many of them died on the battlefield in those few years.

The war is coming, and such wishes are just wishes.

Lu Han, on the other hand, wanted to say something to Guo Ning, but couldn't. The two of them were so familiar with each other that if they had to explain some things clearly, it would seem like they were deliberately trying to create a disagreement.

Zhao Jue said that in the past few days, Guo Ning often stayed up late at night and got up at dawn.

Lu Han could tell that Guo Ning had obviously lost weight, his eyes were bloodshot, and his mustache was a little messy.

Lu Han also knew that when he walked out of the stable, passed the military camp, and talked and laughed with the soldiers, he would be in high spirits and confident. Otherwise, he would not be able to give the soldiers confidence and lead them through life and death. .

These days, unrelated outsiders think that Guo Ning has become a high-ranking official, and wealth is expected. But Lu Han could see clearly that in Guo Ning's eyes, there was no wealth at all.

Those official positions and power only continued to put more pressure on Guo Ning's shoulders. Under such pressure, Guo Ning became stronger, more ferocious, and more intimidating.

Although the soldiers were very affectionate towards Guo Ning, it was because the veterans from Northern Xinjiang were still there. When the people in Laizhou mentioned Guo Ning, many people did not even dare to breathe. After all, Guo Ning killed many people and promised to the people, but he has not yet fulfilled it.

There is nothing we can do about that.

Ever since Guo Ning was attacked in Tangbojian, Hebei, and Lu Han's eldest brother Lu Su died, Guo Ning has become a spinning top that never stops, and he always seems to be being whipped by a whip, and is forced to do nothing even for a second. Stop, dancing on the edge of a knife every day, seemingly running rampant, but walking on thin ice.

When you are alone, you can act as happily as you want, but it will only lead to death. How can you still be like this when ten people are counting on you? Where are the hundred people? What about thousands of people? What about ten thousand people or more? What if a certain level is clearly in front of you, and if you can't cross it, everyone will fall into the abyss?

Even if Guo Zhongyuan wins the battle in Yidu, there is no guarantee of victory here in Laizhou. In the end, everything will be decided in the fighting field. Lu Han knew how the war would end. Guo Ning had expectations, but he didn't dare to say he was sure.

Lu Han almost never attended the military meetings convened by Guo Ning, but all of Guo Ning's decisions would not be hidden from Lu Han.

So Lu Han also understood why Guo Ning suddenly said this.

There was something different about the fighting field this time from before. That is, the guard in charge of Haicang Town is not Guo Ning himself.

The elite troops led by Guo Ning are intended to be used at the most critical moment. Most of the time, they conserve their energy until the time comes.

Prior to this, the defense of Haicang Town would be handed over to Wang Shixian, while the guard of Ye County and surrounding forts would be Jing'an Min. When we arrived at the Sanshan Port area in Xiyou Town, the main guard was Hao Duan.

Because of Guo Zhongyuan's victory, the Mongols thought that Guo Ning's elite troops were in Yidu. Therefore, the main energy of the Mongolian army will definitely be placed on intercepting Guo Ning's headquarters in the field.

But precisely because Guo Zhongyuan's troops were transferred to Yidu, the forces used by the Ding navy to defend fortresses in various places became increasingly weak.

This is the most dangerous part of Guo Ning's plan. Even if the Mongols only contribute one or two forces to attack the military fortress, with their power to sweep across the Central Plains, compared to Laizhou, they would be like Mount Tai. What's more, the strength of the Ding Navy is still thinly divided?

The prerequisite for Guo Ning's troops to win is not only the successful disguise of Guo Zhongyuan's troops, but also the ability of Jing Anmin, Wang Shixian and others to defend the military fortress they are responsible for and create opportunities for Guo Ning.

Can they do it?

Can Haicang Town hold on? Can the military fortresses across Laizhou hold on? No one is 100% sure.

After setting up this battle plan, Guo Ning even privately suggested that Lu Han and others board the ship at sea, just in case. But this proposal was sternly rejected by Lu Han.

Lu Han told Guo Ning that she would definitely stay in Haicang Town to stabilize the hearts of the defenders.

She and everyone in Haicang Town will try their best to persist until Guo Ning finds the opportunity to win.

Watching Guo Ning walk away, Lu Han turned around and came out of the main entrance of Haicang Town Tunbao.

The main gate was ajar, and the public opinion was that there were still more than a hundred soldiers staying behind, and Lu Han often went to the fort for cleaning purposes. There is a special general guarding the door. This special general is Zhao Jue's capable subordinate and has always been cautious and meticulous.

The generals of the Ding Navy all know that the Mongolian army attaches great importance to tongue-grabbing and torture, and strives to grasp the true and false in the army. Therefore, even the ordinary soldiers on our side cannot know the true situation of Guo Ning's troops. In order to cover it up, a lot of effort was spent on top and bottom.

After leaving the main gate and walking for a while, we crossed the narrow road between the high walls of the military castles on both sides. Standing on the edge of the high ground, Lu Han suddenly saw Wang Shixian stepping up to a pier next to the trench and shouting loudly. His subordinates ran after the order and sounded the gongs hanging nearby.

Most of the people who are busy building forts at the moment have no military training, and are a mix of smart, stupid, and strong. If you want to manage them well, there is a prerequisite, which is that the simpler the orders, the better.

When Wang Shixian explains his tasks every day, he tries to break down the day's projects into the smallest projects. In addition to this, there is only one military order that the people need to remember, that is, once the gong sounds, everyone should put down what they are doing and rush back to the camp to gather at full speed.

At this time, the gong was indeed ringing loudly. Within Lu Han's sight, there were countless figures as small as ants. He was confused at first, but then he came to his senses and went to his home in the camp. There was inevitably a panic in the middle of the journey. Some people bumped into each other and trampled on each other. It was not until the officers came over and whipped them that they stopped.

Outside the trench, far away from the camp, a group of strong men were building a garrison. They also immediately threw away their tools and ran back.

Several soldiers who should be stationed at this garrison ran along with him at first. After running a few steps, a soldier turned back to the half-built garrison, climbed to the top and had a look.

Then he took out two small red-yellow triangular flags from behind and waved them toward his camp.

After a few moments of shaking, a soldier from the direction of the camp took out a flag of the same size and waved it, and a wisp of smoke suddenly rose. The soldier then used his hands and feet to climb down the garrison and chase his companions.

This time, a new flag language was implemented in the Zijun. Different flag colors and different shaking methods can accurately express the enemy's situation. If you are not familiar with it at first, it will be troublesome, but now everyone is already familiar with it.

For example, Wang Shixian is very familiar with flag language.

His face twitched a few times and he snorted coldly: "Alejinchi from the Mongolian army headquarters, one hundred people and two hundred horses, came fast enough!"
