Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

These, Ren Ning was playing with his wife and children in the garden of the General's Mansion, sharing the family happiness.

Butler Zou Dahe walked over quickly.

"General, I just got the news that Xingji City is rushing all the way south for [-] miles, and has just entered the range of our Guangxin County."

Ren Ning looked up to the south.

"Understood, everyone continues to do their own work, don't worry about it."

"Yes." Zou Dahe said yes, turned and left.

As the head of the general's mansion, he has a lot of power, and at the same time, he has a lot of things to do, so he has always been at a loss.

"Husband," Yingpan was a little anxious, "Then the eight hundred li rush is here to find us?"

The wedding date of Li Hezhu next door hasn't come yet.

If Ren Ning should be recalled to the camp at this time, it will be troublesome.

"Husband, why don't I tell Sister Li. The wedding ceremony should be kept simple. Let's carry her into our house first."

Ha ha.

Ren Ning smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry. That's not the messenger of our Starfall Legion, it should be His Majesty or the Ministry of War who came to Zhennanguan General Yuan."

If Wei Junqian wanted to send a message to him, he would naturally use a windmill, which would be much faster than expediting at eight hundred miles.

"That's good." Ying Pan let out a long sigh of relief.

She also knew about Ren Ning and Lei Er going to Zhennan Pass three days ago, so she wouldn't ask more questions.

----

Soon, Yuan Xingwen received an order from the Ministry of War.

The troops at Zhennan Pass were divided into two.

The land soldiers were stationed at the same place, while the navy part went north by boat to participate in the battle against Japanese pirates near Huayang County.

Yuan Xingwen read it carefully several times before he heaved a sigh of relief.

He put down the dispatch order from the Ministry of War and looked up at the group of young generals in front of him.

"Everyone, the Ministry of War has sent an order to send troops to Zhennan Pass in the near future, and send a fleet to go north to fight Japanese pirates. Which one of you is willing to go?"

brush!
Several young generals stood up at once.

"General, the general is willing."

"Very good." Yuan Xingwen Xinwei nodded.

His eyes fell on the resolute Li Hebai face.

"He Bai, what trouble are you kidding! Your sister's wedding is still a while away."

Since Ren Ning passed the news to Zhennan Pass three days ago, Yuan Xingwen has already started to let the soldiers make various preparations before going out.

Now that we have received the dispatch order from the Ministry of War, the warship will be able to pull anchor and set sail in almost two days.

If Li Hebai led the army to go out at this time, then he would not be able to attend Li Hezhu's wedding.

Hey.

Li Hebai raised his head and glanced northwest.

"General, some time ago my grandfather sent a letter from the fortress, saying that my sister only needs to marry the right person. As for the wedding, it's just a ceremony, and it doesn't matter whether you participate or not. As soldiers, we naturally put war first. I will talk about the relationship between children and daughters later."

Speaking of this, he was a little angry.

"Furthermore, my brother-in-law is now one of the eight generals of the Starfall Legion. My brother-in-law doesn't want to be pulled too far by him. In case the children of the last general are embarrassed to join his cousin in the future."

"What a mess." Yuan Xingwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Have you thought about it, are you really going to lead the army?"

Li Hebai was born and raised in Guangxin since he was a child, except for a prisoner who went to Xingji City three years ago, he almost never lived in the north.

It is now late October, and the weather in the north has begun to turn cold. By then, he may not be able to get used to the cold and howling north wind.

Li Hebai nodded, "General, war requires the right time, place and people. General Mo understands your concerns. However, General Mo has been exploring the climate and customs in the north in recent years, and he is confident that he can handle it."

After speaking, he looked back at the other generals who stood up.

"Besides, these brothers are the same as the last general. Most of them are from Guangxin, Baihua and Canglan County, and they also have no experience of living in the north."

"That's true." Yuan Xingwen looked around at the young generals who stood up: "Guangxin or Nanjiang is too small, you guys can't stay here anymore, right?"

Hey.

Several people scratched their heads indifferently.

"Okay." Yuan Xingwen made a final decision, "Then you, He Bai, will lead the fleet to set off, with the assistance of a few others, and together we will kill the Japanese pirates."

Li Hebai and the others were overjoyed and patted their chests.

"General Xie. The last general will definitely live up to your expectations, and let the Japanese pirates see how powerful our Zhennanguan fleet is."

Ok.

Yuan Xingwen nodded in satisfaction.

He waved.

The guards on one side immediately came over to present the flag to Li Hezhu and the others.

After putting away the heavy military flag, Li Hebai was determined in his heart.

He rubbed his hands hesitantly: "General, I don't know how many warships you can take with you at the end of the day?"

Yuan Xingwen raised three fingers without hesitation, "Three general-class ships, [-] battalion-class ships, plus [-] team-class ships and [-] logistics ships each."

what?
What battalion level and team level, Li Hebai didn't listen to it at all.

He was a little upset, "General, there are only three Warlord-class ships, which is somewhat insufficient."

According to the intelligence, Japanese warships can almost cover the sea to the east of Yunchui, and there are at least dozens of warships.

"Why don't you give me a few more warlords?"

"Three ships are not enough." Yuan Xingwen stared angrily, "How much more do you want?"

After all, Zhennanguan is not a professional navy like the East China Sea Barrier. Under the restrictions of the Ministry of War, Yuan Xingwen only has six general-class ships and 120 battalion-class ships in total.

Now that almost half of the troops have been allocated to Li Hebai, what else does he want?

Li Hebai felt aggrieved, "General, hasn't the south side been very quiet lately?"

It would be a waste to leave a powerful weapon such as the warrior level at home and not use it.

Humph.

Yuan Xingwen glared at him, "Who said the south is quiet?"

Nanfeng and other small countries in the south are indeed dead toads now.But just in case, there should be something at home.

"Let's forget about the general class." Li Hezhu shifted his target as expected, he grinned, "General, give the battalion class and transport ships more to the general."

transport ship?
Yuan Xingwen subconsciously glanced at Beihai Customs on the map.

Three years ago, the Starfall Legion moved to Guangxin County, and Wei Junqian sneaked over to chat with him for a few days.

Since then, Zhennanguan has continued to build transport ships.

Of course, as long as these ships are slightly modified, such as adding iron rams to the bow, and installing ballistas and catapults on the deck and cabin, it is a warship.

And some of the larger ones are even at the battalion level.

"General?"

Yuan Xingwen came back to his senses and didn't say a word, but drew out his own sword and slowly wiped it.

Ha ha.

Immediately someone laughed dryly.

"General, the expedition is imminent. If you have nothing to do, the last general has to go back and supervise his subordinates to pack up and salute."

"The same is true for the last general. If those cunning men under him don't watch carefully, they will definitely go into convulsions."

"Together."

……

In an instant, all the generals, including Li Hebai, found a reason to quit the Chinese army.
