"Among them, the total strength was about six thousand, including two thousand light cavalry and five hundred heavy cavalry."

"The number of people engaged in organ refining has increased to two, the number of generals engaged in bone refining has increased to ten, and the number of people who have achieved the Great Perfection in blood refining has increased to several."

"In addition, heavy siege engines such as catapults and siege engines are all available."

"On the other hand, look at our side."

"There are 1,056 soldiers who can fight, plus 200 martial arts school disciples, 3 internal organ cultivators and 12 bone cultivators who will participate in the battle."

"Lord Commander, your report is complete."

"Ah."

Xiang Tingchun nodded slightly: "Generally speaking, we have more combat power in the high realm, but the Xihe tribe's forces are several times greater than ours. Even if we just hold our ground, it will be difficult to hold out for long."

"So, Prefect Ji, could you please help me get the Anding Prefecture Military Command to send an additional 1,500 men?"

"This is not under my jurisdiction."

Ji Guangxian said awkwardly, "Besides, Anding Prefecture is facing 50,000 iron cavalry. Where would we find extra troops to deploy? At most, we can only call on another organ refiner from my clan to help out."

His mission was not completed.

It is impossible to go back.

Staying in Poyang means sharing life and death with Poyang.

"Ms. Sun".

Xiang Tingchun shifted his gaze: "Can't the Governor's Office send some people?"

“I have already written a letter and ordered the post station to send it to Liangzhou immediately. My father should have made arrangements.”

Sun Li's voice was cold: "Before that, my younger brother and I will stay in Poyang to help out, and we will absolutely not desert our posts."

"Good! The whole world knows the Eight Great Camps are ruthless and iron-blooded; it seems their reputation is well-deserved!"

Xiang Tingchun looked at everyone and encouraged them, "Everyone, even the daughter and young master of the Grand Commander are willing to fight to the death, how can we back down?"

"Pass on my order: starting tomorrow, all soldiers of the Poyang Thousand-Household Garrison will be stationed at the Great Wall, on standby for twelve hours a day, ready to meet the enemy at any time!"

"Obey the order!"

Everyone obeyed the order.

"Master Chen!"

Chen Sanshi, who was about to go home, was stopped by a call. He asked, "Prefect Ji, what brings you here?"

"hehe."

Ji Guangxian laughed and said, "Lord Chen went deep into enemy territory for hundreds of miles and captured the prince alive amidst heavy siege, achieving an extraordinary feat. I'm sure that soon even the capital will hear of your great name."

"Grand Secretary Gao is a man of great discernment and will surely entrust you with important responsibilities."

"I am honored by Prefect Ji's kind words."

Chen Sanshi replied perfunctorily, "Unfortunately, even if I wanted to leave Poyang, I couldn't now. No matter how important the matter is, we'll have to wait until the war is over."

One word.

drag!

If we just keep dragging this out until his cultivation level improves, all the problems will be solved.

"What Lord Chen said makes sense."

Ji Guangxian stroked his beard: "I will not leave either. I will stay and live and die with the soldiers of Poyang. This matter should indeed be discussed after the war is over."

"Prefect Ji is truly righteous!"

Chen Sanshi changed the subject: "I just don't know..."

"no!"

Ji Guangxian interrupted, "Commander Chen, I am going on a long trip, how could I carry so many medicinal herbs with me?"

"Of course, if Commander Chen can give me a guarantee, I can send someone from Anding Prefecture to deliver more medicinal herbs at full speed."

"Prefect Ji has misunderstood."

Chen Sanshi said, "I understand the principle that one should not accept rewards without merit."

"The 'Dew-Condensing Body-Forging Soup' is of extraordinary value. Even if Prefect Ji is generous, I would be too embarrassed to continue to enjoy it for free."

"What I wanted to ask is whether Prefect Ji has any other secret medicines? For example, medicines for healing injuries and restoring qi and blood. I dare not ask for more than that, even just enough for one use."

"This is it~"

Prefect Ji pondered for a moment: "Of course we have them! Since my Ji family started out in the medicinal herb business, how could we only have one secret recipe? Whether it's wound medicine for treating external injuries or blood-tonifying pills to help quickly restore qi and blood, my Ji family's medicines are many times better than those outside."

"Since Commander Chen has spoken, how could I refuse? I'll have someone send you some later."

"Thank you very much, Prefect Ji!"

Chen Sanshi clasped his hands in farewell and left.

"grown ups."

Unit One laughed and said, "He's started begging for medicine."

"Of course! The prescriptions my Ji family used during the bone-refining stage were taken by His Highness to train his trusted confidants. Once anyone used them, they wouldn't want to change them!"

Ji Guangxian said confidently, "You can deliver the medicine to him later. Remember, only send enough for one use of each medicine. He'll ask me for it once, and he'll ask me for it again. How can I not control him?"

……

"It's done!"

Chen Sanshi successfully concocted "Ninglu Body Strengthening Soup", "Liuyuan Blood Nourishing Pill", and a secret wound medicine for treating external injuries.

Even if one has only achieved minor success in bone strengthening, the Dew-Condensing Body-Forging Soup is still effective.

[Technique: Undying Golden Serpent Spear - Upper Level (Minor Success)]

【Progress: 108/2000】

The other two secret medicines aren't very effective, but we might as well take advantage of them.

It would also make the prefect find his secret medicine very appealing, at least ensuring he wouldn't bother him before the war ended.

[Skill: Medicine. Basic (Entry-level)]

【Progress: 403/500】

"His medical skills are about to break through!"

Chen Sanshi returned home.

Gu Xinlan prepared dinner as usual.

at night.

She took out the dark blue-green long robe that she had spent two months sewing and personally helped the man put it on, checking for any ill-fitting parts so that she could make the best adjustments overnight.

"The size is just right, and Shi Ge looks really handsome in it."

Under the candlelight, before the bronze mirror.

Gu Xinlan quietly gazed at her husband, her almond-shaped eyes gradually reddening and filled with tears as she looked away from her dreamy gaze. She unconsciously hugged him tightly around his strong waist and murmured, "Sister Tong's child will be born in the next couple of days."

"I know."

This was the first time Chen Sanshi had ever worn such well-fitting and comfortable clothes since he came into this world.

He straightened his sleeves and replied, "Xu Bin is going to defend the city with me. Could you keep an eye on things for him?"

"That was not what I meant……"

Gu Xinlan hugged him tighter, but her voice became very soft: "What I wanted to say was, when you come back, let's... let's have one together too."

Speaking of the back.

Her voice was filled not with shyness, but with sobs.

The key word in this sentence is "come back".

"Don't worry, I'm very capable."

Chen Sanshi suddenly picked him up around the waist: "And we don't need to wait until we get back, we can do it now."

"Hmm~"

……

tonight.

Countless similar scenes will unfold in the military settlements.

The old father remained silent, the old mother gave her instructions, and the wife and children sobbed.

Because nobody knows if tonight will be the last night they can be together.

Starting tomorrow.

All soldiers were to be stationed at the Great Wall to defend against barbarian invasions.

No one may return home until the war ends.

Mao Shi.

The sound of bugles echoed throughout the military settlement.

The soldiers went to their barracks after being seen off by their families.

Sun Li and her brother also donned armor and took up weapons to fight.

"Three stones".

Sun Buqi quickly caught up: "I've investigated the matter on the grasslands for you. That commander surnamed Luo, his men said he never left alone. Is it possible that Tang Ruoshan was too incompetent, which led to his exposure?"
