Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

A whole month passed while we waited.

Both sides continued to increase their troops and transport food.

Dongyan later issued an emergency mobilization order to recruit new soldiers.

They were continuously sent to the front line of Nanjun.

Today, there are already millions of people stationed on the two mountains in the east and west, in front of and behind the mountains.

There was even a camp built on the top of the mountain.

In the city of Nanjun, the people of Southern Liang watched as Eastern Yan continued to increase its troops, while also constantly urging the country to send more troops.

Now, in Nanjun City, the army of the Southern Liang people also has a million people.

The city had long been full of people, and outside the three major city gates in the east, south and west were military camps of the Southern Liang people everywhere.

Yan Bei became increasingly worried as he saw more and more people coming from both sides.

If this continues, it will be fine if the battle does not break out, but if it does, it will be a shocking war.

Outside the city of Nanjun, there would probably be rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.

It's a fight when many are against many, and it's a fight when few are against few.

Why do we have to wait until both sides have accumulated so many soldiers before fighting?

If we fail, the entire country's troops will be lost in one battle.

My vitality has been severely damaged. How long will it take to recover?

He really couldn't wait any longer, so he ran from East Mountain to West Mountain to meet Lu Xunhuan in person.

"If this continues, both sides will continue to increase their forces, and their strength will always be equal. What's the difference between this and when there are fewer people?"

"What on earth are you waiting for?"

Lu Xunhuan took a sip of tea calmly.

"From the perspective of strength, we have increased our troops, and the other side has increased its troops. It seems that we are evenly matched and we have no advantage."

"But in fact, waiting is not just waiting for reinforcements or supplies."

Yan Bei asked, "Then what are you waiting for?"

Lu Xunhuan put down the teacup.

"We stationed a large army here, not really intending to fight the Southern Liang people to the death."

"The main purpose is to stimulate the Nanliang people to continuously increase their troops."

"Now that their million-strong army has been sent to Nanjun City, the country is short of manpower. What if Western Chu were to attack?"

Yan Bei opened his eyes wide: "It would be a good idea if Western Chu went to attack Southern Liang."

"But you and I are not the King of Western Chu. Whether they fight or not is not up to us."

Lu Xunhuan smiled slightly: "Be patient, there will be results soon."

At this time, a soldier ran up panting.

"Report, a woman named Li has arrived outside the camp. She claims to have military intelligence to report and requests to see Lord Lu."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "My lobbyist should have completed her mission to Western Chu. Let her come."

A quarter of an hour after the soldier left, Li Susu came.

Lu Xun Huan quickly stood up: "Princess, sit down."

Yan Bei looked at Li Susu in surprise: "Princess?"

Lu Xunhuan introduced him to Li Susu: "The Second Prince."

Li Susu bowed and said, "Greetings, Second Prince."

Then she reported to Lu Xunhuan.

"I went to Western Chu and found Prime Minister Zhou, who advised His Majesty the King of Western Chu."

"Western Chu has dispatched an army of 500,000 to attack Nanliangshan and Chuanzhou."

"It took me ten days to come back. I guess Shanchuan Province has fallen into the hands of Xichu."

Yan Bei was overjoyed when he heard this: "So you were waiting for this?"

He stood up and asked Lu Xunhuan, "Is she the daughter of the Second Uncle Prince you mentioned?"

Li Susu bowed and said, "Second Prince, I have forgotten what happened before."

"I'm not a princess, I'm just a commoner. My last name is not Yan, but Li."

She saluted Lu Xunhuan again and said, "My mission is complete. It's time to go."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, go back and have a good rest."

After sending Li Susu away, Lu Xunhuan called the soldiers and said, "Go paint big words on our wooden wall and say that Western Chu has attacked Southern Liang. Tell them to return to help quickly, otherwise, Yingzhou City will be lost."

Huge and eye-catching words were painted on the wooden wall and could be clearly seen by the Southern Liang soldiers on the city wall.

But everyone thought that it was just the people from Dong Yan who were trying to shake their military morale.

However, the people of Dong Yan have been continuously increasing their troops over the past month but have not fought. I don’t know what they are up to.

Although several generals of the Southern Liang Dynasty led a million-strong army, they always felt uneasy for some reason.

After dark, at the camp outside Nanjun City, Lu Xunhuan came in casual clothes, reporting his name as Lu Suifeng.

When everyone heard that the disciple of the sage had come again, they hurriedly welcomed him into Nanjun City.

After meeting the general, Lu Xunhuan said, "Western Chu's army of 500,000 has already conquered Shanchuan Prefecture. If you don't return to help, you will be doomed. If you return now, you might still be able to rescue Yingzhou City."

The general was shocked and felt incredible when he heard this.

"How did the people of Eastern Yan know that Western Chu was attacking us?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "The people of Dong Yan have stationed their troops in Beishan, but they never attack us. Why is that?"

"Their purpose is to attract reinforcements from Southern Liang. Once Southern Liang is depleted, they will send envoys to Western Chu to instigate an attack on Southern Liang."

"They all know the news, which means that Western Chu has invaded Southern Liang."

"I told you to leave quickly because I don't want to fight you, so I can save some manpower."

"I don't want to fight, so I'll let you retreat to Nanliang intact to defend the country, isn't that good?"

The general nodded and said, "Prime Minister Lu was expelled by His Majesty, yet he still cares about Nanliang all the time. Heaven is truly unfair to you."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Why are you talking nonsense? Why don't you go back and help immediately?"

"By the way, when you return, don't mention me in front of His Majesty, lest he get upset and take his anger out on you."

The general saluted and said, "Don't worry, Prime Minister Lu, we won't mention it."

He immediately gave the order: "Pass the order, the entire army will return quickly."

Five days later, the one million Southern Liang troops in Nanjun City retreated completely.

Yanbei only took a little time and recaptured Nanjun City without losing a single soldier.

Afterwards, the army gradually moved south and recovered all the lost territories.

Lu Xunhuan followed the army and went to take a look at Nanjun City.

He was relieved to see that Master Sun was still alive and well: "Teacher, you are really lucky."

Lord Sun laughed.

"A true man can bend and stretch. What's wrong with enduring a little injustice, conserving strength, and welcoming the final victory?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded.

"Alright, I'm relieved that you're alive. I still have things to do, so I'll leave the people of Nanjun to you."

He took out a silver note worth one thousand taels from his pocket and handed it to Lord Sun.

"I have a lot of things to do and no time to go home. Please pass this on to my brother."

Lord Sun laughed again: "Haha, I thought it was for me."

Lu Xun Huan said, "I will speak for you in Yanbei. Just be a good governor. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."

Lord Sun stroked his beard and said, "Opportunities come to those who are prepared. Well, you have come up with another golden quote."

Lu Xunhuan came to Nanjun City to take a look, but didn't stay there for even an hour.

Then, he made an excuse to go to Taiqing Gate, said goodbye to Yanbei, walked out of the north gate, and left.

However, when he passed through Tongcheng, he stayed there for ten days.

Ten days later, he set out again and headed north, heading straight for Taiqing Gate.
