At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Is this the supreme commander of the Liang Dynasty? Why is he so young?"

"Our army was defeated by him! This is unbelievable!"

"He seems like a nice guy, to be honest."

"..."

When Xia Yun was having a myriad of clues in his mind, at the same time, the people of the Dune Dynasty on both sides of the street began to make noisy discussions.

Because of Xia Yunqiu's policy of not offending anyone, these ordinary people did not have much ill will towards Xia Yun.

In fact, what they were most concerned about was Xia Yu's extremely young appearance, which did not fit the image of a military commander in their minds at all.

Soon, under the leadership of Tuoba Jinghui, Xia Yun and his party arrived at the Governor's Mansion in Keto City.

The governor of the Shaqiu Dynasty had a different official position from that of the governor of the Daliang Dynasty.

In the Dune Dynasty, the governor is more like a county magistrate, who has the power of life and death over all the people in a city and its surrounding areas.

After entering the Governor's Mansion, the aroma of food wafted into the mouths and noses of Xia Yun and others.

"General Tuoba, where did you find this chef who can make such delicious food with good color, aroma and taste!"

After everyone sat down, Xiang Wentian, who had followed Xia Yun to Kerto City, had an incredible look on his face.

Every dish at the banquet was of the highest standard of a state banquet in the Daliang Dynasty.

But in the Dune Kingdom, it is extremely incredible to prepare such a table of exquisite meals.

"Haha, the cooks were found in Ketu City. They were originally citizens of the Daliang Dynasty. They came to Ketu City many years ago and then settled here."

Tuoba Jinghui explained with a smile.

"Everyone, let's start the banquet. I'm really hungry, so I won't chat with you."

Xia Yun followed with a loud laugh.

On the way from Ulan City to Keto City, they indeed did not have a decent meal on the way.

Faced with a table full of delicious food, even though Xia Yun was calm, he just wanted to eat a big meal!

The generals at the table, unaware of Xia Yun's rare appearance, all burst into laughter.

……

Half an hour passed in a flash.

At the dinner table, Xia Yun and his companions had three rounds of wine and five dishes, and their stomachs were already about 70% full.

At this time, Xia Yun stopped eating voraciously, touched his belly, and then shifted his gaze to Li Taisui.

Previously, after Tuoba Jinghui led his army to occupy Ketu City, he sent a letter asking Xia Yun to send troops for support.

Xia Yun then dispatched Li Taisui to arrive at Khoto City in advance with an automated force.

"Tell me, what is the current situation around Keto City?"

As soon as Xia Yun opened his mouth, a serious tone involuntarily came into his words.

At the same time, the other generals at the table perked up and focused their eyes on Xia Yun.

"In reply to the Marshal, a few days ago, the Dune Dynasty discovered that our army had occupied Keto City. Now, there are 30,000 and 40,000 troops to the west and north of Dune City respectively, which are rapidly approaching Keto City. It is estimated that in about two days, these two troops will arrive in Keto City."

Li Taisui responded immediately.

In the few days since arriving in Ktor City, he has been very busy, sending spies deep into the territory of the Dune Dynasty every day.

However, since the people of the Shaqiu Dynasty were of a different race from those of the Daliang Dynasty, this made intelligence work extremely difficult.

"The Dune Dynasty's response speed is not slow."

Xia Yun nodded thoughtfully.

A total of 70,000 troops are moving towards the city of Ktor. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the most elite main force of the Dune Dynasty in the entire East Asia region.

"How is the defense of Keto City?"

Xia Yun continued to ask.

"Ktor is an isolated city standing on the wasteland, but the walls on all four sides are quite strong."

"Plus, there are five million dan of grain stored in the city. If we just want to defend it, with the current 100,000 defenders in Keto, it will be enough to hold out for two years!"

Li Taisui spoke one after another, telling the detailed situation of the current Keto City.

However, when Xia Yun heard the number of five million grains, his pupils widened involuntarily.

"Five million dan of grain?!"

At this moment, Xia Yun's originally calm and composed look suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a look of doubt and uncertainty.

Although he had already anticipated that a large amount of grain from the Dune Dynasty was stored in the city of Ktor.

But he never expected that the number would reach an exaggerated five million dan!

You know, even when Dai County had the richest grain reserves, the reserves never reached five million dan!

If this is sold, the profit will be at least five million taels of silver!

Unconsciously, Xia Yun began to calculate the profit from selling all five million dan of grain.

It was not until Li Taisui continued to speak that Xia Yun's thoughts were brought back to reality.

"Although the resources in the city are enough to hold out for two years, Keto City is too far away from the territory of our Daliang Dynasty. If the Shaqiu Dynasty adopts the tactic of besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements, the Daliang Dynasty army will suffer great losses."

Li Taisui continued speaking, analyzing the pros and cons of defending the city of Keto.

Hearing this, Xia Yun came back to his senses and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Unlike what Li Taisui was worried about, Xia Yun actually hoped that the Dune Dynasty would mobilize heavy troops to besiege the city of Kto.

If that happens, it will inevitably lead to a shortage of troops on other borders of the Dune Dynasty.

By then, he could directly pass through the road that Wan'er had built on the Mobei grassland and lead the automated troops straight into the interior of the Dune Dynasty.

By then, even if the Dune Dynasty troops wanted to return to provide support, it would be too late.

If everything goes well, he might even be able to lead his army directly to the capital of the Dune Kingdom, Saint Anton City!

"General, I wonder why you came to Keto City in person this time?"

At this time, Tuoba Jinghui asked the doubts in his heart.

In his opinion, the city of Keto had been successfully occupied, and as the supreme commander of an army of hundreds of thousands, there was no need for Xia Yun to take the risk and come to the city of Keto in person.

Once Kerto was surrounded by heavy enemy forces, Xia Yun's trip would inevitably be more trouble than gain.

But the response that came out of Xia Yun's mouth immediately afterwards made all the generals present feel excited at the same time.

"Of course we are here to capture the Dune Kingdom."

Xia Yun smiled happily, and his words were very calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
