"It's raining." Just as everyone was amazed at Gu Yan's strength and talking about it, a few raindrops fell from the sky and fell on his body. The cool feeling made everyone surprised. Why does it rain suddenly?
Then when everyone was discussing whether the rain would affect the game, Lan Jing suddenly received an urgent letter from a star soldier at the VIP table.
Originally he was talking about the following game with the people next to him, but when he read the content of the letter, Lan Jing's expression quickly changed, and the smile on his face disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Your Highness, why are you so panicked?" The change in Lan Jing's expression made all the generals next to him nervous. They all realized that the content in the letter might not be a good thing for them, so they waited for Lan Jing to look away from the letter. Finally, Lan Xu, who had been paying close attention, asked directly.
"General Lan, read it yourself," Lan Jing said, handing the letter in his hand to Lan Xu, and then waited for Lan Xu to speak.
On the other side, after receiving the letter, Lan Xu read it carefully. Immediately afterwards, his expression changed exactly as Lan Jing did when he read the letter, from calm to serious in the blink of an eye.
Lan Xu's reaction made the other generals even more nervous. At the same time, some distinguished guests began to pay attention to the situation here with curious eyes. Of course, unless Lan Jing and others said anything, they would definitely not take the initiative to ask.
"Your Highness, I will lead the troops to deal with this matter immediately," he said, returning the letter to Lan Jing. After reading the contents of the letter, Lan Xu had already made a decision.
"Your Highness, what is going on?" General Shen on the side asked quickly before Lan Jing could answer.
"It's not convenient to talk here. Let's discuss it when we get back." Lan Jing shook his head at General Shen, carefully put away the letter, and then looked at the martial arts field below, already thinking that this martial arts competition might end early.
"General Shen, could you please end today's game early, and then send an order for all Star Army personnel to return to camp immediately and be on standby," Lan Jing took another look at the martial arts field and made a decision directly.
"But?" He was about to say that the finals were not over yet, but in the blink of an eye he realized that the contents of the letter were more important than holding a martial arts tournament, so General Shen quickly agreed: "I will do it now."
After saying this, General Shen left his seat and walked towards the martial arts field.
At the same time, Lan Jing noticed that the invited distinguished guests were paying attention to them, and then he said to those people: "Everyone, I have just received an important letter. The next competition will not be held normally. I have already Please forgive me for letting General Shen announce the end of the game immediately."
It was precisely because of the presence of those distinguished guests that it was inconvenient for Lan Jing to state the specific content of the letter. Even if he knew that those people would know what happened sooner or later, for the time being, he could only express it in a tactful way. As for what was mentioned in the letter, Lan Ling decided to discuss it with the generals as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, don't mind. Since the matter is more important than holding a grand competition, we should understand." Immediately afterwards, the distinguished guests sitting nearby stood up one after another, already intending to leave.
In fact, they could guess that Lan Jing must have received urgent military information without Lan Jing explaining the reason.
"Dang, Dang, Dang," a moment later, a burst of gong sound suddenly spread throughout the entire venue, attracting everyone's attention. The next moment, everyone around the venue looked at General Shen in the direction from which the sound came.
"Due to an unexpected situation, Shen announced that the martial arts competition will end immediately. All Star Army personnel will immediately return to the camp and standby. Other personnel will leave the scene in accordance with the order. There must be no mistakes!" In a simple sentence, General Shen announced directly The martial arts tournament is completely over.
"What?" The next moment, there were sounds of surprise and confusion around the martial arts arena, and no one understood what was happening.
Those who were competing and waiting for the competition were also stunned. In surprise, they all looked at General Shen with puzzled expressions.
But there was only so much General Shen could say. Under the attention of everyone, General Shen had no intention of explaining in detail.
"Let's go, there must be some military news." The people next to him stood up one after another. After paying attention to the situation on Lan Jing's side, Fang Qing immediately reminded Lu Yunyou.
"Okay," nodded, Ni Youbin immediately followed Fang Qing, with a look of surprise on his face. He was curious about what happened to prevent the martial arts tournament from continuing.
Similar to Ni Youbin's mood, many people around the venue felt very surprised. The game was not completely over yet, and they did not want to leave as they were not able to enjoy themselves. However, the military orders were like mountains, and they could not disobey the orders above. Then, the Star Army personnel remained They left the venue one after another in a certain order, and then returned to their camp to stand by.
"General Shen has just ordered all Star Army personnel to return to camp and stand by. It seems that something big has happened." After leaving the venue, Bai Ye stopped at an intersection and thought about what General Shen said just now. He knew that they There is no need to return to the palace.
"We will return to camp immediately," understanding what Bai Ye meant, and considering that there were no important belongings for them in the palace, Fang Qing wanted to follow the other star troops and return to camp immediately to wait for orders.
"Okay," Wang Yang agreed. He had no objection to their opinions at all.
As for Lu Yunyou and Ni Youbin, although they were in a panic, they both knew what to do.
As a result, the five people directly followed the large number of star troops back to their respective camps. Under the urging of the general above, they put on the heavy military uniforms, picked up a spear, and then hurried to the school grounds to line up.
The incident happened suddenly and for unknown reasons, a tense atmosphere spread directly among the army. Standing in a queue, Lu Yunyou was looking around. Since there was no acquaintance around, he couldn't even find anyone to talk to. Unexpectedly, I heard people all around discussing that there must be an emergency military situation, which forced the tournament to end early.
But no one could tell clearly what was going on. When they finished lining up and the general above asked them to keep quiet, the nervous feeling became even more obvious. I thought back to a quarter of an hour ago that they were watching the competition comfortably on the martial arts field. In the blink of an eye, He immediately returned to the military camp and lined up. This huge change was really difficult for Lu Yunyou to adapt to.
But thousands of people around him were facing the same situation, and some were not even qualified to watch the game. Then after seeing many star troops nearby who were not even dressed neatly because they lined up in a hurry, Lu Yunyou couldn't help but think What it means for them to be soldiers.
At the same time, in the Chinese army's main tent, since Lan Wu left, Lan Xu has temporarily assumed the position of commander-in-chief of the three armies as the general. Therefore, the two main seats in the main tent are occupied by Lan Jing on one side and Lan Jing on the other. Lan Xu, on both sides of the long table were a group of generals and some high-status generals in the army.
After the discussion began, Lan Jing immediately asked Lan Xu to repeat the contents of the letter to the generals. Then, under Lan Xu's explanation, the generals quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.
Two days ago, a large number of Yiguo troops entered the country from the eastern border of Fengguo. Without even saying hello, the Yiguo army advanced all the way and occupied a city on the eastern border of Fengguo. They are currently marching towards Pofeng City. Yiguo is close to the east of Fengguo. At the border, the Star Army is currently being conquered under the orders of the ancient Yuan Dynasty.
Wherever the Yi Army passed, the local people of Feng Kingdom did not resist, so the road was smooth. According to the current marching speed of the Yi Army, in less than three days, the Yi Army could reach a medium-sized military base in the east of Feng Kingdom that was stationed by thousands of star troops. The city, the sudden arrival of Yijun and the reaction of the people of Feng Kingdom worried Lan Jing greatly.
"The letter said that the Yi Army came under the orders of the ancient Yuan Dynasty. I wonder what the generals think about this?" After Lan Xu finished explaining the situation, Lan Jing directly asked the generals for their opinions.
"I believe that our capture of Feng Kingdom will definitely cause the Great Ancient Yuan Kingdom to lose face. The Great Ancient Yuan Kingdom must be trying to retaliate against us." Faced with Lan Jing's inquiry, General Shen responded immediately.
"Earlier, the Great Kingdom of Ancient Yuan used various means to force many countries to surrender directly to them. Now they encounter the stubborn resistance of our Star Country, and even lost to our Star Country for a while. This matter must have greatly surprised the Great Kingdom of Ancient Yuan," followed by another. The host will give his opinion.
"Now our Star Nation has become a counterexample for the Ancient Yuan Kingdom to conquer the surrounding countries. It is extremely detrimental to the Ancient Yuan Kingdom's continued conquest of other countries. That's why the Ancient Yuan Kingdom is so anxious to send troops to us," followed closely, Fang Quyin also expressed his opinion.
"What the generals said is absolutely true. Our star country must have damaged the face of the ancient Yuan Kingdom, so the ancient Yuan Kingdom sent its Yijun to attack." Because he felt that the analysis of several colleagues was very reasonable, another general He immediately nodded in agreement.
"What you generals say makes sense," Lan Jing nodded. Lan Jing also had no doubts about the views of those generals, so he continued to ask: "How do you generals think I should respond?"
"The morale of our army is strong, and we should fight with all our strength," a general said directly, thinking about their star army's victory in every battle.
"Yes, we must fight until they withdraw in order to ensure the stability of Feng Kingdom," another general expressed his opinion shortly afterwards.
"It's just that there is a huge disparity between our army's strength and the opponent's, and the marshal happens to be not in the army. Can our army win the first battle with less and more?" After the two generals expressed their thoughts on the main battle, Lan Jing said directly. doubts.
He seemed to feel that his statement was somewhat inappropriate, and without waiting for the generals to speak, he hurriedly added: "I am not doubting your ability, but the war with Yijun is extremely important, and it is related to the relationship between our Star Kingdom and Feng Kingdom." Rule, so I hope the generals will act with caution and try their best to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Their star country has just occupied Feng Kingdom and has not yet established a solid foundation. Once they are defeated, they are likely to be resisted by some rebellious forces in Feng Kingdom. They will be attacked from both sides. Even if Lan Wu comes back, I am afraid they may not be able to reverse the defeat. Lan Jing is worried about this.
"We can completely understand Your Highness's concerns. Our army has recently occupied Feng Kingdom, and the control policies of all parties have not been implemented in place. Some of the troops have been transferred to support Qing Kingdom. If we continue to fight fiercely with Yi Kingdom, it will inevitably There will be resistance from some Feng Kingdom forces, so the current battle is indeed crucial," Fang Quyin was very clear about the current situation.
"General Fang is right, the Star Army must win," after Fang Quyin said this, the generals in the account all realized how important it was whether they won the battle with the Yi Army. They not only had to defeat the Yi Army. , and even more so to make the people of Feng Kingdom completely surrender to them.
"According to reports from spies, the Yi Kingdom sent a total of 260,000 troops this time. Now the total strength of the Star Army in the Feng Kingdom is only 150,000. There are still some troops stationed in various places, and the actual number of troops that can fight is less than 100,000. Twenty thousand, what should we do?" The topic of discussion at the meeting continued, and in a blink of an eye, Lan Jing asked another important question.
