The telegram sent from Xinghuo City was immediately transmitted to Lu Shengzhong, who was stationed in Lanjiang. At present, Lin State has mobilized heavy troops to suppress the area north of Lanjiang, which made Lu Shengzhong feel very stressed.

Because Lan* extends dozens of miles, it is indeed not easy to defend the entire line for such a long area. Fortunately, there is plenty of rain in spring and the Lan River flows rapidly. It is not easy for the Lin army to cross the river on a large scale.

Seeing Qian Xiaoxing asking for 50,000 troops, Lu Shengzhong immediately mobilized 50,000 troops, including 8,000 Dark Knights, 10,000 cavalry and 32,000 infantry.

These soldiers were immediately arranged to ride on wooden rail vehicles and heading towards Huju Pass day and night. Lu Shengzhong also wrote a letter and asked someone to bring it to Qian Xiaoxing. The content of the letter was mainly about Lin's army's movements in Jiangbei. He hoped that Qian Xiaoxing could attack quickly and force Lin Guo to mobilize troops to ease the pressure on defense on the Lanjiang River.

Another message was written in the letter, that in the cities north of Lanjiang that were occupied by the Lin army, many people from Hu began to exile. It turned out that after Lin took over the original cities of Hu, they plundered people's wealth, burned, killed, and looted people, and did not treat the people of Hu as human beings at all. Many people in Hu could not stand the oppression, so they packed up their parcels and fled to Si State.

Because these people knew that there were seven cities south of Lanjiang that originally belonged to Hu. Not only were these people not bullied and persecuted, but they also lived better under the leadership of Si State than before. The difference between good and bad was naturally seen by the people, so they could no longer stand the leadership of Lin State and switched to Si State. In the eyes of the people, Si State already felt more intimate than the original Hu State.

A few days later, 50,000 troops arrived at Huju Pass, and with the 10,000 infantry that had arrived before, Qian Xiaoxing had a disposal of 60,000 troops.

Seeing the matter written by Lu Shengzhong about the people of Hu, Qian Xiaoxing asked Sima Yiqing and said, "Father-in-law, what do you think about this?"

Sima Yiqing was a member of Hu after all. Seeing that the people of Hu were persecuted by Lin, he felt very sad and said, "The old saying goes: People are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least, and King Lin is just the opposite. I think King Lin is accelerating the arrival of his doomsday. Although both Lin and Si have fought against Hu, the people of Hu are willing to surrender to Si, which means there is no hatred towards Si. The hearts of the people are an invisible force and often play an important role at critical moments. If Si is able to accept these people, accept them all."

"My father-in-law has a clear understanding, so I will reply to Brother Zhong immediately and let him arrange for acceptance." Qian Xiaoxing immediately wrote a letter and asked Zhang Yongchao to forward the telegram.

When Zhang Yongchao was receiving the letter, Hu Suoyuan quickly walked over from a distance and said, "Chief of Staff, I'll send it!"

When Qian Xiaoxing saw Hu Suoyuan walking smoothly, it seemed that there were no sequelae. He happily patted Hu Suoyuan on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, you are back."

Hu Suoyuan stood at attention and saluted: "Hu Suoyuan, the commander of the military guard company, recovered from his injuries. Come and report!"

"Okay, welcome to return to the team!" Qian Xiaoxing then asked with a smile: "Did Sister Ying promised to give you five wives? If it doesn't, I'll go to her."

Hu Suoyuan scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I have fulfilled it, and I have already done it a few days ago. I have healed my injuries and did not return to the team in time. Please punish the Chief of Staff."

"It's very fast. You've just recovered from the injury, so be more at ease," Qian Xiaoxing laughed and suddenly sighed: "You should hurry up, marry five at once, and I can marry two or two at most."

"This..." Hu Suoyuan said in embarrassment: "If the Chief of Staff wants to marry fifty of them together, no one will stop you."

Qian Xiaoxing thought about it and waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it. It's time for you to come back. We are going to start a war against Lin Guo. You can arrange someone to investigate the current main position of Lin Jun. Let Zhang Yongchao send the letter."

"Yes!" Hu Suoyuan saluted seriously and stepped back.

After the two left, Sima Yiqing nodded and said, "It seems that the subordinates of the virtuous son-in-law and other men believe you very much."

"Yes, I have had a life-long friendship with them. If it weren't for them, my life would have been gone long ago. I would have treated them as brothers." Qian Xiaoxing said proudly.

"It is rare that a virtuous son-in-law is still approachable. I am just too noble in normal times, so I have no confidant to love. I want to learn more about these things like you." Sima Yiqing said modestly.

"My father-in-law is so serious. Maybe I will be taller than you when I reach your age. Let's go and prepare for the attack." Qian Xiaoxing and Sima Yiqing walked towards the military camp.

A day later, Hu Suoyuan had already obtained the information from the Si army. Originally, the intelligence was transmitted through the intelligence department of the Si country, but Lin State blocked the road and could not cross it, and the intelligence was blocked, so Qian Xiaoxing sent Hu Suoyuan to reconnaissance.

Information shows that the Lin Kingdom is already building a pass ten miles away from Huju Pass, called Lianhua Valley, and it is very fast, and half of it has been built.

Near the Lotus Valley, Lin State also gathered heavy troops, with about 100,000 troops, and it seems that it is ready to fight.

"100,000 troops..." Qian Xiaoxing remembered that every time he fought, he fought with less and more. This time he seemed to be unable to make an exception. However, relatively speaking, the opponent's troops were less than twice as powerful as himself, which was the best situation.

Sima Yiqing said: "The Lin Kingdom is already building a pass. If it is built successfully, it will be much more difficult for us to attack. Without further ado, we will send troops now."

"Okay, I'll order the troops to go to war right away!" Qian Xiaoxing ordered.

After opening the Huju Pass, the sixty thousand Si army slowly emerged, with the goal only ten miles ahead, which can be said to be very close. The Si army was led by the Dark Knights and advanced rapidly.

The Lotus Valley is named because the shape of the valley is like a blooming lotus. Not far away, there is a big lake called Lotus Leaf. The lake water is green and it is also an excellent scenic spot.

Qian Xiaoxing and Sima Yiqing sat on the four-wheeled carriage, and a map was laid in the middle of the wide carriage. Qian Xiaoxing looked at the map and smiled and said, "A lotus valley and a lotus leaf lake echo each other. I heard that the scenery here is good, and it seems that the scenic tourist area can be developed in the future."

Sima Yiqing smiled and said, "What, it's worth it before you can get it."

"Haha, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, taking a bath with a group of wives is a joy to family." Qian Xiaoxing smiled happily.

The troops quickly approached the Lotus Valley. Qian Xiaoxing stood up and took the telescope and started to observe. Sima Yiqing immediately picked up the telescope and looked at it.

Three hundred meters ahead, it was the entrance of Lotus Valley. I saw a three or four-meter-high city wall had been built between the peaks on both sides. Looking at the construction site with signatures and stones piled up, there was no one on the construction site, but the unbuilt city wall was already full of Lin Jun. It was obvious that Lin Jun had also learned the news and stopped work and began to defend.

"It's very fast, it's so high." Qian Xiaoxing put down the telescope and said, "It seems that Lin Jun will be built later."

Sima Yiqing still observed with a telescope and said, "Yes, fortunately the city wall is not very high, so it is quite easy to build such a city wall."

The troops slowly approached and stopped about 100 meters away from the Lianhua Pass. Although it was only three or four meters high, it was enough to deal with the cavalry. Qian Xiaoxing had to line up the infantry and arranged some preparations to attack Lianhua Pass.

The infantry of the military army held tall shields and had already lined up. The front row covered the cover, the back row of soldiers charged with ladders, and behind were archers, ready to suppress Lin Jun on the city wall.

"Beat the drum! Blow the charge!" Qian Xiaoxing shouted while standing in the car.

"Dongdongdongdongdong, dongdongdongdong..." The thick and powerful drum sounded, followed by three trombones: "Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo

The soldiers of the Si army shouted: "Charge!" The soldiers walked straight forward with neat steps. The soldiers looked resolute and determined, which made people feel a faint sense of pressure.

Sima Yiqing checked with a telescope from time to time and said, "The quality of Si Jun soldiers is really good, and they are unique in execution of orders. It seems that they are very hard to train."

"Yes, the training of these soldiers took a lot of effort. The Si army had not conducted a strong attack before, so I had no confidence in a strong attack. If it weren't for the fact that only half of the construction was built in the Lotus Valley, I wouldn't have launched a strong attack." Qian Xiaoxing said worriedly.

Sima Yiqing nodded and said, "Yes, a strong attack will definitely suffer a lot of losses. If it weren't for the time being, with the intelligence of a virtuous son-in-law, there would definitely be a better plan."

"Well, as long as you take up the Lotus Valley, even more losses will be worth it. After all, if you attack in the future, the losses will be even greater." Qian Xiaoxing replied.

Sima Yiqing shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry too much. I think the Sijun troops are of good quality and will not lose much. Let's watch with peace of mind."

The gates in Lotus Pass have not been installed yet, so the door holes were temporarily blocked with stones, and there were not many people standing on the messy city walls. Qian Xiaoxing saw Lin Jun's archers standing in a messy manner in the telescope. It seemed that it was not difficult to seize Lotus Pass.

The Si army gradually advanced under the city wall. The feather arrows of the Lin army's archers on the city wall were blocked by shields, which had almost no effect. Except for the soldiers who left the stones that built the pass, causing some damage, the Si army could be said to have not suffered strong resistance.

Qian Xiaoxing was looking forward to the moment of victory when he suddenly heard Sima Yiqing say, "It seems wrong!"

Qian Xiaoxing hurriedly asked, "Father-in-law, what's wrong?"

Sima Yiqing still held up the telescope and said, "Have you ever observed the Lin Jun's chief general?"

"No, I just watch the soldiers siege the city. Where is the chief general?" Qian Xiaoxing asked hurriedly.

Sima Yiqing pointed to the direction and said, "Son-in-law, you must remember in the future that the enemy general must always watch. You can see clearly with a telescope. The expression of the enemy general can provide us with some important information."

Qian Xiaoxing followed the direction pointed by Sima Yiqing and looked carefully, and finally found a general wearing golden armor. Seeing that he looked calm, he was instructing his subordinates while watching the battlefield.

"Father-in-law, I didn't see anything wrong. It seems that this general is experienced and not afraid of danger." Qian Xiaoxing said.

"No!" Sima Yiqing opposed: "Even if he is experienced and does not fear in the face of danger, he will not be so calm and composed. He must have some tricks to deal with our siege, and he has full confidence."
