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

From Xu Wan'er's quick responses, Xia Yun immediately understood that this was probably the reason why the little girl came to Lantuo City in person!

From the very beginning, this little girl planned to follow him to St. Anthony's City.

Otherwise, the entire project would not have been arranged in detail before coming.

"Does your Excellency disagree?"

Seeing that Xia Yun did not answer immediately, Xu Wan'er's face immediately revealed a look of aggrieved.

Seeing this, Xia Yun burst into laughter on the spot.

"Agree, of course I agree!"

Xia Yun came back to his senses, laughed and nodded on the spot.

He is not a conservative person.

Since Xu Wan'er has arranged everything carefully, he has no reason not to let Xu Wan'er go with him.

"Hehe, I knew adults were the best!"

Xu Wan'er, who had just looked aggrieved, instantly became excited after hearing with her own ears that Xia Yun agreed to let her follow the convoy to St. Anthony City!

But she only looks like this in front of Xia Yun.

Soon, under Xia Yun's instructions, more than a hundred people began to prepare dinner.

However, due to special environmental conditions, more than a hundred people did not cook on the spot, but slaughtered sheep directly on the spot and prepared a sumptuous barbecue feast.

During this period, Xia Yun introduced the identities of Tuoba Jinghui and Huyan Juelu to Xu Wan'er.

"This is Tuoba Jinghui, the chief of the Tuoba tribe, and this is Huyan Jueluo, the younger brother of the chief of the Northern Barbarian tribe..."

Xia Yun told the story directly about the identities and origins of the two people.

Since these two people only joined Xia Yun's army after the Northern Frontier War began, Xu Wan'er did not know them.

"Wan'er greets the two generals."

Xu Wan'er smiled and nodded, feeling a little surprised.

She had been on the Mobei grassland for almost three months. Naturally, she was well aware of Tuoba Jinghui's great reputation on the grassland.

I didn't expect that such a fierce character would be so respectful in front of Xia Yun!

"If Lady Wan'er needs anything in the Mobei grassland, please inform me immediately."

"Yes, my Northern Barbarians can also cooperate with Lady Wan'er at any time."

Tuoba Jinghui and Huyan Juelu responded one after another.

Similarly, this was the first time they met Xu Wan'er, but they had already heard of Xu Wan'er's fame for a long time.

They knew that Xu Wan'er was not only Xia Yun's most important assistant, but also the Minister of Communications of the Daliang Dynasty, ranking among the first-rank ministers!

As time slowly passed, sparse sounds of birds and beasts could be heard under the starry sky shrouded in darkness.

……

The next morning.

When the morning sun rose from the east, Xia Yun and more than a hundred of his men woke up early from their sleep.

Afterwards, under Xia Yun's arrangement, dozens of Blackwater Tower operatives brought by Xu Wan'er continued to stay in place.

As soon as Lantuo City was opened, these dozens of people sneaked into Lantuo City.

The rest of the people, including Xu Wan'er and Jiang Wenzhong, followed Xia Yun on the journey to Juan City.

"Sir, what kind of city is Juan?"

While on the road, Xu Wan'er was very curious about the next destination.

Strictly speaking, this was her first time on the territory of another country.

"Juan City is a very big city."

Xia Yun responded with a smile.

He had never been to Juan City either. He only learned from the information given on the map that the scale of Juan City was almost seven or eight times that of Lantuo City.

At the same time, Juan City is also the largest city in the central region of the Dune Kingdom.

However, unlike Lantuo City, Juan City is not an open commercial and trading city. There is a strict hierarchy there.

At the same time, according to the information given on the map, there seems to be a branch of the royal family living in the city of Juan!

……

When Xia Yun and his party were leisurely rushing to Juan City, the situation on the northeast battlefield had already entered a white-hot state.

On this day, under the Guangmo City, Zhao Gongming, Qin Tianye, Xiao Yan and others, who had been separated for many days, finally gathered together again.

In addition to these three people, there is also Lei Zhenning, who had just led his troops from the capital to provide support not long ago.

When the sun just rose in the early morning, an army of more than 300,000 surrounded the entire Guangmo City, making it almost impossible to get out.

"Damn it, we finally forced these bastards into Guangmo City. General Qin, give the order to attack the city."

On a small hill outside Guangmo City, Qin Tianye, Zhao Gongming, Xiao Yan and others stood side by side. Xiao Yan was the first one who couldn't hold back, his eyes filled with a fanatical fighting spirit.

In fact, they had just gathered together a few hours ago, before dawn.

In the past five days and five nights, under the command and dispatch of Qin Tianye, the various armies on the Northeast battlefield have been moving continuously.

Eventually, they succeeded in forcing the mixed army of 200,000 barbarians and the Dune Kingdom into the Guangmo City.

It is no exaggeration to say that the defeat of this 200,000-strong mixed force is imminent!

The reason why Qin Tianye had more command power than Zhao Gongming and Xiao Yan.

This was entirely because Xia Yun had instructed before leaving that the command of the 600,000-strong army would be handed over to Qin Tianye alone.

Zhao Gongming and others did not have any dissatisfaction with this.

As the number one general under Xia Yun, Qin Tianye had already demonstrated his particularly strong command ability on the anti-Japanese battlefield in Zhejiang.

"The Ninth Prince is right. Our army must win this battle quickly. In addition to these 200,000 mixed forces in the Northeast, there are at least nearly 250,000 troops waiting for us to eliminate."

When Xiao Yan expressed his strong desire to fight, Lei Zhenning echoed him.

As the Minister of War of the imperial court, he didn't need to go to the battlefield in person.

However, due to his concerns about the Northeast battlefield, he personally led the subsequent reinforcements to the Northeast battlefield.

What he didn't expect was that not long after he met up with Qin Tianye and others, he learned shocking news.

Xia Yun had actually left the Northeast half a month ago, and with only a hundred or so people, he went straight into the Dune Kingdom!

When Lei Zhenning first heard the news, his mind suddenly felt dizzy.

You know, Xia Yun was the Grand Marshal of the Northern Expedition appointed by the empress herself, but he left the battlefield at such a critical moment.

If those conservative ministers in the court were to learn of this news, they would surely be outraged, and might even directly report to the empress and request the removal of Xia Yun.

Fortunately, the confidentiality plan Xia Yun made before leaving was quite thorough, except for a few of their commanders.

Up to now, the 600,000 troops in the Northeast still firmly believe that their commander Xia Yun is still commanding everything on the battlefield.
