"Chief Xiao, is there really no other way?" Behind Luo Qingxue, Grandma Sun asked in a very low tone.
Xiao An shook his head, "The border between our Xiajiang County and Luoshui County borders the Dalian State. During this period, there have been constant wars on the border, and there has been no victory."
"The morale of the generals and soldiers at the border is extremely low, and they cannot even supply supplies in time. If they had not been given the order to defend, the border would have been breached long ago."
"Those people above have almost given up on our two counties. If the big families in the county turn to the forces of the capital, Xiajiang County and Luoshui County will only fall faster."
"So the best way is to stabilize the power in the county first so that there is a slight chance of a comeback, but that is almost zero."
Hearing this, Granny Sun sighed heavily and looked at Luo Qingxue with a bit of pity in her eyes.
Luo Qingxue frowned slightly, her eyes flashing, "How is the situation in Luoshui County?"
Xiao An calmed down and then replied: "The situation in Luoshui County is not optimistic. County Governor Jiang Cheng's previous injury has not improved, and his physical condition is deteriorating."
"I estimate that if he cannot hold on by then, he will definitely abandon Luoshui County and take his forces to join the forces in the capital."
After a pause, Xiao An continued: "But some time ago, the army stationed on the border between Xiajiang County and Luoshui County fought a great victory and wiped out almost all the invading army from Dalian Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Granny Sun suddenly exclaimed: "There is such a thing!"
Luo Qingxue's beautiful face also had a strange color.
The equipment and morale of the border troops originally stationed there were far inferior to those of Dalian State, so it was good enough to remain unbroken.
Even if they win the battle, at most they will only cause some losses to Dalian's army.
And this time's great victory actually wiped out almost all the Dalian Kingdom's army, which seemed outrageous to them.
Before they could ask questions, Xiao An explained: "Originally, the Dalian Army had no plan at all. According to their plan, they could have broken through the border defense line, directly occupied the cities on the border, and pushed towards Xiajiang County and Luoshui County. "
"But at the critical moment, a young swordsman appeared and turned the entire battle situation around with one person. He killed thousands of Dalian elites, saved our army, and with his help Complete victory!"
Speaking of this, Xiao An was very excited.
Before he became a county guard, he had led troops in battles, but he had never seen such a shocking turn of events.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the strength of that young swordsman was really terrifying!
Luo Qingxue stood up excitedly, "Where is that person now? If we can recruit him, it will be of immeasurable benefit to us."
Hearing this, Xiao An also nodded, but then shook his head and said slowly: "It's just that General Wan Bin who is stationed there has a lot of objections to us because of the delay in the supply of food, grass and equipment."
"This time we won a big victory, but they didn't report it to us immediately. Instead, they reported it directly to the capital. Therefore, the information we got was not very accurate, and we didn't know who the young man was."
"But the only thing that is certain is that he is also from Dajiangwu Mansion!"
Hearing this, Luo Qingxue's expression changed slightly.
If such a person is noticed by people in the capital, they will definitely try their best to win over him. If the young man is attracted by them, the situation will be even worse.
She forced herself to calm down, "Then please trouble Sheriff Xiao and go find out which martial arts house that young hero is from. Even if there is a slight chance, we can't let it go."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, such a person can play a huge role. If we can win over him, he will be a super trump card!" Xiao An said seriously.
At this time, a voice sounded outside the attic.
"Fu Wen asks to see His Highness."
Xiao An raised his eyebrows slightly, "If Fu Wen doesn't manage his disciples well, why does he come to see His Highness?"
Luo Qingxue was also a little confused and said to Xiao An: "Let him come in first."
Xiao An nodded, walked to the attic door, opened the door and called Fu Wen in.
"I've met His Highness, I've met the Palace Master!" Fu Wen walked in and immediately saluted Luo Qingxue and Xiao An.
Xiao An, the county guard and the head of Dajiangwu Mansion, waved his hand, "What do you want from His Highness?"
Immediately, Fu Wen said to Luo Qingxue with great respect, "There is a young man named Wang Chen who holds a special disciple recruitment token and says that it was given by His Highness and that his subordinates have arranged for him to enter the mansion."
"Special recruitment token?" Xiao An was startled and looked at Luo Qingxue.
You must know that this special disciple recruitment token is of great significance and will not be issued to people who are not extremely talented.
And in the annual enrollment, those who can become specially recruited disciples are very rare.
He was a little surprised. Could it be that Luo Qingxue found a genius?
After hearing Fu Wen's report, a bright light flashed in Luo Qingxue's eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth unconsciously.
Seeing this scene, Xiao An was even more shocked.
What is the origin of this boy named Wang Chen? How could His Highness appreciate it so much?
He even saw something else in Luo Qingxue's expression.
Noticing the change in Xiao An's expression, Luo Qingxue smiled, "On the way from the capital, I passed by a small city. Seeing that he was quite capable and upright, I recruited him into the Wu Mansion."
Xiao An immediately smiled and held his hands, "If he can be favored by His Highness, then this young man named Wang Chen must be extraordinary. This is another genius added to our Wu Family."
"If there is no other matter, I will leave first and go to check the information of the young sword cultivator. If your highness needs anything, please call me at any time."
With that said, Xiao An exited the attic.
Fu Wen, who was on the side, saw this and retreated immediately.
"Master, could it be that the young sword cultivator you just mentioned was the one who single-handedly turned the tide of the war in the border war?" Fu Wen asked as he walked out of the attic.
Xiao An nodded, "That's exactly the person. It's a pity that General Wan Bin has been too dissatisfied with us people recently, and he doesn't even have the idea of retaining talents for us. He actually reported it to the capital, even if he didn't have any information at all. There was nothing left for us.”
Anger appeared on Fu Wen's face, "This Wan Bin is so ungrateful that he has become rebellious. Without your promotion, Master, would he be able to sit in that position?"
Xiao An shook his head helplessly, "I can't blame him. We in Xiajiang County are in such a chaotic situation now that we haven't provided him with support for a long time. He has been in danger several times and was almost killed by the Dalian army. It’s understandable that he prefers the capital side now.”
"Moreover, he has been trying his best to defend the border, so that the two counties of Xiajiang Luoshui did not fall."
Fu Wen sighed heavily. As a teacher in Dajiangwufu, he naturally had access to a lot of information, and he was helpless about this.
"Master, I have another news."
