Lu Zuo Academy

War meeting room.

"General," a guard hurried over, "News about the windmill in Beihai Customs."

"Beihai Customs?"

Lin Hanmo's heart moved and he quickly took it to check.

After a while, he calmly handed the message in his hand to the military advisors who came over.

"The Starfall Legion has issued a notice to the entire territory. The war in Baekje is almost over. His Highness has returned to the Yunchui mainland through the North Customs."

The military advisors took a breath.

One by one, they subconsciously aimed at the huge imperial map hanging not far away.

The journey from Beihaiguan to Xingji City does not pass through Huayang County, but as long as you reach Jiuyuan County, you are almost at their place.

"General," a military advisor stood up, "His Royal Highness's mount is a good horse that can travel thousands of miles a day. It accompanied him in battles in Yanchuo Fortress, Nanfeng and even the Xiliang Prairie, and never failed..."

"Coming from Tamaki County, if Your Highness lets your beloved horse run away, we won't have much time left."

"General, don't panic," another strategist shook his head and retorted, "We still have time."

What was Ren Ning's identity in the past, and what is his identity now?

That is the majestic Yun Chuixia Ren Emperor.

No matter how ambitious Wei Junqian was, there was no way he would be allowed to return to Xingji City all the way back to Xingji City with only Lei Er or one or two personal guards like he did in the past.

"As we all know, the more troops and horses accompanying you, the slower the overall marching speed will be. So we still have some time..."

hum.

After hearing this, the other military advisors were all speechless.

Not to mention the time squeezed out, it's just a slight delay.

"General, how about we take the initiative to attack." A military advisor looked brightly to the north, "It is best to strive for a brilliant record when His Highness returns to the vicinity of Huayang County..."

Now the overall defeat of the Central Army Corps has been determined and cannot be changed, but as long as they have substantial military exploits in their hands, there can be some improvement in the future.

"No," a military advisor said anxiously, waving his hands to refute.

"General, the current situation on the battlefield is that the enemy and we are outnumbered and the proportions are very different. If there are not a few rivers in front as a natural moat, our troops will not be able to withstand several rounds of attacks by the Japanese pirates."

"To take the initiative is equivalent to sending your brother to death."

"Lao Li, what do you mean?"

The military advisor who spoke in front was so angry that he blew his beard.

"Are you saying that we brothers are afraid of death? The old Marquis is nearly 70 years old, and he is still standing in front of us."

"Besides, the post road is only so wide, and there are soft and difficult paddy fields on both sides. No matter how many Japanese pirates there are, they won't be able to exert their strength. We don't need to be afraid of them."

Military Advisor Li waved his hand quickly.

"Old Wu, you misunderstood. I understand what you mean. But as a staff officer, we must explain to the general the pros and cons of taking the initiative."

"Of course, it's up to the general to decide whether to go to war or not."

"As for the old Marquis..."

"That's enough." Lin Hanmo shouted loudly.

When he heard his grandfather Lin Daxiong's name, his brows jumped, but he was very calm in his heart.

"What is our main task now? Have you forgotten it?"

Lin Hanmo stomped on the floor several times.

"We are to firmly guard this place, block the Japanese pirates' westward passage, and buy time for the brothers and legions to come down to gather and annihilate the Japanese pirates."

"Instead of some impressive achievements, do you hear me clearly?"

As soon as this was said, there was silence in the conference room.

After a while, some people still couldn't bear it.

The military advisor stood up and spoke a little hesitantly.

"General, how about you think about it again?"

"It is good to defend this place, but... according to the final battle report, I am afraid that you or the Annan Marquis Mansion... will become someone else's wedding dress."

Haha.

Lin Hanmo laughed loudly.

The disdain in the laughter was so loud that it almost knocked off the roof of the conference room.

"As long as I can drive the Japanese pirates into the sea and keep my country and the people safe, so what if I was to make a wedding dress for others!"

"As for the Hou Mansion..."

Speaking of this, Lin Hanmo's eyes flashed with pain, and soon became determined again. "The Central Army Corps has fallen this far over the years, and the Hou Mansion has a share of 'credit' behind it. According to the laws of the empire, the Hou Mansion cannot escape the blame. No matter what kind of punishment it will receive in the future, it will be deserved."

"I will accept it unconditionally."

"As for now," Lin Hanmo banged on the winding Luzuo River on the map, "just hold on to this place, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

Military advisor, you looked at me and I looked at you, all looking at each other.

In the end we could only agree together.

Not long after, the door to the conference room rang again.

"General, there is news from the west that the county governor has just arrived at the outskirts of my camp with a large amount of military supplies."

"Great." Lin Hanmo was overjoyed.

He raised his head and glanced in the direction of the windmill.

Over the years, windmills connecting various counties in Yunchui have been quietly constructed.

Especially after Emperor Changxing died and Ren Ning was confirmed as the next emperor and empress of Yunchui, the windmills in various counties were even more energetic and began to be built and used openly.

As soon as the Dinghai Pier was breached a few days ago, County Governor Liu Yongchun immediately sent a message to Lin Hanmo asking if he needed any help.

If he wanted someone, he could do nothing but bring some policemen and government servants over.

If you want things, especially military supplies, Liu Yongchun can provide a lot.

Last winter, Ren Ning shipped a batch of weapons and food to Baekje by sea to meet the needs of the Seongluo Legion and Xiao Zhengping's Japanese army.

At that time, there were still a lot of grain, grass and weapons constantly gathering from various places to Huayang County, and finally they were handed over to Liu Yongchun for his safekeeping.

Now it's time to take it out and use it.

"Great." The military advisors also raised their eyebrows.

Lin Hanmo originally left Dinghai Dock for the reason of "troop training", and he didn't have much food, grass and weapons in his hands.

Now that Liu Yongchun arrived in time, he saved a lot of worry, at least he no longer had to worry about food problems.

A group of people rushed out to greet him.

Lin Hanmo waved as he walked, "Is there any news from the direction of Pinghai County?"

Before he finished speaking, another messenger came hurriedly.

"General, there is news from the East China Sea Barrier. General Lu Yulong and Lu have arrived at Huayang County with 20,000 front troops. They are heading west towards our Luzuo Academy. They are expected to arrive in three days."

Lu Yulong?

Lin Hanmo was overjoyed. He took the information and glanced at it quickly, then let out a sigh of relief.

The military advisors quickly squeezed out to take a look, and when they saw it clearly, they all beamed with joy.

None of them have met Lu Yulong, but they fought with Lu Pingan at Dinghai Pier last year.

My son killed the Japanese pirates and became frightened, let alone me?

For a moment everyone felt a little lighter.

"General," a military advisor responded quickly, "the old marquis is old and lacks troops, and the Japanese pirates are ferocious and have just won a battle. Their morale is high and they will not be easy to deal with. What if..."

cough.

Having said this, he coughed slightly.

"Since General Lu can arrive in three days, it will not be a problem for us to defend Luzuo Academy. Do you want to send someone over to inform and ask the old Marquis to withdraw first?"

Lin Han paused.

However, after he looked up at the drizzle in the sky, he slowly shook his head.

"No need. Just let them hold it up from the front."

Huayang County has roads extending in all directions, but it is a large county and the distance is long.

Moreover, most of the roads in this era were dirt roads. Even the post roads with the best road conditions did not have too many layers of sand or gravel, and some Panlong stones were inlaid near towns or docks.

But generally speaking, it is still mainly dirt roads.

It has been raining in Huayang County these days. Although it is not heavy, no one can say whether Lu Yulong will encounter road damage or be captured by Japanese pirates when he comes over.

Therefore, multiple preparations are needed, just in case.

Furthermore, Lin Hanmo was familiar with the temperament of his grandfather Lin Daxiong.

Even if someone were sent to inform him, Lin Daxiong probably wouldn't look back.

From the moment he left Star City, he had no intention of going back alive.

At the same time, Lin Daxiong even thought about training a few capable assistants for his grandson through fighting, which could be regarded as his last contribution to the family.
