"Are you surprised that they would surrender directly?"
Li Qingyan looked at Xu Yuan's weird look and asked with a smile.
Xu Yuan raised his eyes and smiled, not hiding anything:
"A little bit. The sects I've seen before basically don't shed tears until they see the coffin. It's really a bit uncomfortable for them to be so proactive this time."
"Everyone has already laid down in it, so why don't we see the coffin?"
"."Xu Yuan.
Li Qingyan shook his head, turned around, held the knife on his waist, and walked heroically towards the city gate downstairs:
"My consort, you don't understand the importance of morale if you don't fight in close combat. Although these elite sects are still organized, their morale is on the verge of collapse. The general is a smart man, and smart people will naturally make the best choice."
Xu Yuan stood there for two seconds, smiled dumbly, and quickly followed Li Qingyan's pace.
Although he knew that morale was important, he did not have a complete concept. The only intuitive understanding of morale was through some SLG-type games in his previous life.
But even if it's just a game, it can tell a lot.
During the battle with the wind, everyone in the alliance followed him. However, during the battle with the headwind, none of them found this person. They just lay down and took care of themselves, and the commander shouted at them without even bothering to move.
In reality, this emotion will be magnified countless times under the pressure of death.
Hosting these defeated troops in Houting County is their only hope for survival now, and it is also their only hope for an organized evacuation here.
Once the general shatters this hope, the morale of the army will really collapse.
The possibility of camp roaring, surrender, and rout is far greater than their ability to fulfill their duties as soldiers.
The city wall is made of special materials that melt when the wind and snow fall on the ground, and will not form snow and affect the soldiers' city defense.
When the patrolling soldiers of the Northern Feng Army saw the two people descending from the city tower, they all gave way and saluted.
Of course, this courtesy is only for Li Qingyan, and Xu Yuan can only be regarded as a non-staff idler now.
Old proton.
After getting off the city tower, Xu Yuan thought that Li Qingyan would greet the two sect frontier generals at the city gate.
If the other party chose to surrender directly, he still needed to give some face, but in the end, the woman directly called for two horses with monster blood.
Looking at the tall and powerful Beifeng army horses, Li Qingyan quickly got on his horse, while Xu Yuan stood there and asked slightly hesitantly:
"Qing Yan, are you going back to the government office?"
Li Qingyan was riding on a military horse, and the wind and snow reflected the smile on her lips as she asked:
"If I don't go back to the government office, will I still be here to welcome those people from the sect into the city?"
Xu Yuan thought for a moment, got on his horse, and replied with a smile:
"That's right, you earn your own face. Even if you don't give these sects the face of their defeated army, they won't be able to make any trouble."
As they talked, the two rode horses side by side.
Because Houting County had been occupied once before, the entire city was in ruins at best and in ruins at worst.
The barbarians are very poor. After conquering a place, they basically just clear it out. Everything that can be moved will basically be moved away. In addition to the baggage, a large part of it is construction materials.
The material science of the Dayan Dynasty was very advanced. The strength of the spiritual iron here could probably be used to build a Gundam in Xu Yuan's previous life, and the building materials were similar.
As the outpost of Beifeng City, the entire Houting County is basically full of military facilities, and the building materials are naturally military materials.
They are extremely cold-resistant and protective, and basically have a shelf life of a hundred years. Therefore, these building materials are the rarest treasures for the barbarians living in extremely dark places.
If it hadn't been for the barbarian alien king who overriding all opinions and made Houting County their base for southward march, before Dayan could regain Houting, the city walls would have been dismantled, packed up and shipped away by the frightened barbarians.
However, after several months, the reconstruction work of the entire Houting County is on the right track.
The dilapidated city walls have been repaired, the most important city defense formation has been re-engraved, and the soldier barracks and storage warehouses in the city have also begun to be rebuilt one after another.
Looking at the half-renovated military camp in the distance, Xu Yuan suddenly looked sideways at Li Qingyan beside him and asked:
"Qing Yan, there is something I want to ask you."
Li Qingyan was in a good mood and chuckled:
"When did the prince-in-law become so polite? If you have any questions, just ask."
Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a low voice:
"Now we have only 40,000 soldiers in Houting County. Will there be any problems if we directly accept the nearly 20,000 defeated troops?"
The defense line in Houting County stretches for nearly 300 miles, with three cities and more than a dozen camps serving as horns for each other while also spreading out the troops.
When Li Qingyan heard this question, he chuckled and shook his head:
"Mr. Zong was anxious for us generals to hold a meeting. The first thing he did was to discuss the arrangements for these defeated armies."
"oh?"
Xu Yuan was suspicious: "I remember that at that time, even the Yunqitan had not been sent to the sect. How could Mr. Zong be so far-sighted?"
"It's just a plan. You have to plan ahead for anything when you're out on the march."
Li Qingyan didn't care about this and said in a clear voice: "The way to deal with the defeated armies of these sects is actually simple. Take off their armor, hand over their weapons, and then disrupt their organization, their combat power will be reduced to ten percent. Liuqi, as long as you don't let them know that Father and the others are ready to attack their mountain gate, it is basically impossible for these defeated troops to risk their lives to rebel."
Xu Yuan curled his lips, smiled and whispered:
"As for discussing this matter, you won't even let me sit in as an observer?"
Li Qingyan stared at him with a smile:
"The Prince Consort should know that Mr. Zong is not guarding against you. My brother doesn't care. But if you participate, will my second brother participate?"
fair.
Now Li Zhaoyuan, the sixth child, is now suspected of having an affair with the sect. If he were to know the actual military situation, it would be easy to leak it.
Xu Yuan said indifferently:
"I think it doesn't hurt to let your second brother know. On the contrary, it might be better if he knows. There are only a few people attending the meeting, and he dares to leak military information. Oh no, we can take the initiative to leak military information and provide your elder brother with A hat that could kill him."
"."
Li Qingyan stopped his horse and stared at Xu Yuan with a strange look.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan stopped his demon horse, spread his hands, and said with a smile:
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?"
"."
Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan for a few breaths, then sighed softly:
"I discovered that your heart is really dirty, Prince Consort, even dirtier than the heart of a soldier like me."
Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, looked down at his hands, shook his head and said:
"Those who play politics are the most cruel, but I do seem to have changed a bit."
After a pause,
Xu Yuan changed his tone, changed the subject, and said with a smile:
"It's true, Mr. Zong, I haven't seen him for a long time. This time he didn't even meet me, so he took Li Yunqing and Li Zhaoyuan directly to Guangzhen City."
Li Qingyan did not continue to talk in depth about the topic just now, and continued to move forward on his horse, following Xu Yuan and saying:
"Mr. Zong should be worried that you, the actual "responsible person" of the prime minister's office in the north, will give him military advice. Mr. Zong is not sure whether your dandy will be inflated after he successfully plotted against the sect and the barbarians. .”
After a pause,
Li Qingyan glanced sideways, his phoenix eyes curved into two crystal crescents, and said with a smile:
"As long as I don't meet you face to face, I will be subject to military orders abroad. Are you right?"
"."
Xu Yuan blinked his eyes, a little confused:
"How do you know this, Qingyan?"
Li Qingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, tilted his head and said:
"This sentence has been spread throughout the entire Northern Territory by Commander Yuan. Now many of my generals are saying this. Why don't I know this?"
"."Xu Yuan.
Li Qingyan suppressed his smile and raised his eyes to glance at the magnificent government office at the end of the road:
"Okay, get ready. We still have to meet the two sect generals later."
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then raised his finger and pointed at himself:
"I am coming too?"
With the current situation in the north, everything that needs to be planned has already been planned. The next battle against the barbarians will all depend on the performance of Zong Qingsheng and Li Qingyan.
Li Qingyan pursed his lips and smiled, stared at him and said meaningfully:
"There are some things that it is not convenient for me to do in person. I need a dandy to tell me to do it. After all, in addition to their luggage, I also have to collect their Sumeru Ring."
Half an hour later.
Sitting in the main hall of the government office, Xu Yuan stared at the man and woman slowly walking in below, his eyes slightly surprised.
The man Xu Yuan didn't look.
The woman took off her armor and was dressed in slim-fitting clothes. She has slim curves, cloud-like temples, snow-skinned red lips, and beautiful eyes with a hint of heroism.
He has seen so many sect disciples, but he seems to have seen few ugly ones.
But think about it, for ordinary people, it is difficult to pursue beautiful and handsome men, but for a family with power and money, it is within easy reach. Over thousands of years, as long as there is no genetic mutation, it is basically impossible to be ugly.
The two of them entered the government office, briefly saluted Li Qingyan who was sitting in the chair, and then said nothing.
Time passes minute by minute,
Xu Yuan's eyes kept wandering back and forth on the woman in the hall, and his unscrupulous look made the two people below frown slightly.
But it's a pity that the formality is oppressive, and they can only bear this anger.
I do not know how long it has been,
"Cough!" Li Qingyan suddenly coughed lightly.
"." Xu Yuan came back to his senses when he heard the sound and glanced at Li Qingyan.
"." Li Qingyan frowned and glared at him.
I want you to be a bad person, not a devil in sex.
Xu Yuan clicked his lips, touched his chin, chuckled and started to do business:
"Luo Qingfeng?"
"."
The woman below heard the words, her brows furrowed even more, she was silent for a moment, then she cupped her hands, and her voice was as clear as a silver bell:
"It's Qingfeng, but Qingfeng seems to have never met the young master. I don't know who you are."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan suddenly grinned.
Yes, old acquaintance.
After a year, his memories of the many heroines in Cangyuan were almost blurred. He never expected that he would meet one here.
Luo Qingfeng, whose father is the supreme elder of Xue Po Palace, is the exclusive female protagonist in the world where Barbarian appears as the final boss.
Since she only appeared once, Xu Yuan almost forgot about her.
She is one of the heroines of the heroic heroine type, a woman who looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside.
In Cangyuan, after having a heart-to-heart relationship with her, Luo Qingfeng will tell the player that she would rather be a law-abiding young lady than lead troops to fight.
The final ending is also very good. Luo Qingfeng will change from a female general who fights in all directions to a virtuous housekeeper who cares for her husband and children, and will even take the initiative to help players conquer other female protagonists.
Pity.
If they don't agree with each other, given the current situation, this woman will probably follow in the footsteps of Ji Qingyue's two sisters.
Stopping his thoughts, Xu Yuan looked sideways at the scar-faced man aside and asked:
"So, this gentleman should be Hou Jiancheng?"
Hou Jiancheng also frowned, but then smiled:
"It seems that this young master has investigated Qingfeng and me. He must be a senior official in the prime minister's office, right?"
"The top management doesn't count me as just a layabout."
Xu Yuan waved his hand and said, his eyes wandering back and forth between the two of them with a bit of amusement.
These two people are called childhood sweethearts at best, but they are licking dogs and goddesses at worst.
Back in Cangyuan, he even slapped this kid in the face.
Green plums are no match for heaven's fall.
The boy was a meal, and then he held Luo Qingfeng Yang Yang, and then he was a 18X plot that he had seen.
Thinking of this,
Xu Yuan had an inexplicable smile in his eyes and said softly:
"Two generals, you are well aware of the current situation. I will not say any more nonsense. For the sake of the overall situation of the northern border, please hand over the Sumeru Ring you are wearing."
