Besides, Zhao Qinghan, as soon as he left the barracks, Zhan Ying hurriedly came forward and asked nervously: "Miss Qinghan, what did that guy Meng Hu tell you?"

Zhao Qinghan snorted and ignored it.

The War Eagle made a boring thing, but did not dare to have an attack.

As the same team leader, Meng Hu didn't take Zhao Qinghan seriously, but Zhan Ying didn't have the courage.

Speaking of which, Zhan Ying was also a miserable child. He had no mother when he was born. When he was only two years old, his father died on the battlefield again. Although Zhao Yue adopted him, he also claimed to be his adopted son. Zhan Ying knew when he was six years old that his true status in the Zhao family was actually Zhao Qinghan's servant.

Therefore, Zhan Ying was used to being bullied by Zhao Qinghan since he was a child. In front of Jing Tiancheng, Wu Junyi and the others, Zhan Ying could act as the prince of the Governor's Office, but in front of Zhao Qinghan, Zhan Ying was a slave. If Zhao Qinghan asked him to go east, he would never dare to go west. Even if he became the captain of the Cavalry Regiment, the same is true.

Zhao Qinghan called Wu Junyi to the front and ordered: "Junyi, you should hurry back to Hedong immediately and tell my father that Situ Rui had already assembled an army of at least two legions and more than one army on the border, and a large-scale invasion is about to be imminent, so let him prepare early!"

After saying that, Zhao Qinghan said to Jing Tiancheng on the side again: "Tiancheng, take your cavalry squadron to escort Junyi back."

Ng Junyi said anxiously: "Sister Qinghan, what about you?"

"I can't go back." Zhao Qinghan said solemnly, "The Mingyue Empire Army is about to invade a large-scale invasion. Situ Rui is not Tuoba Tao. The invasion of this time is far more than 20,000 troops. There are less than 3,000 light troops in the Hexi Fortress. The troops are too thin. The Qingyi Guard and I have to stay to help defend the city, and the cavalry corps of War Eagles will also stay together."

"No, this is too dangerous." Ng Junyi said anxiously, "Sister Qinghan, you must not stay!"

After saying that, Ng Junyi said to Zhan Ying again: "Brother Zhan, please persuade Sister Qinghan quickly, so you can't let her stay."

Zhan Ying shrugged and smiled bitterly. If Zhao Qinghan wants to listen to his advice, unless the sun hits the west.

Sure enough, Zhao Qinghan glared at Wu Junyi with unhappiness and said, "Junyi, are you no longer my sister in your eyes?"

Ng Junyi said in a panic: "Sister Qinghan, don't say that quickly."

"Then stop talking about anything."

Zhao Qinghan frowned slightly, but her tone showed unquestionable majesty, "Go back to Hedong immediately and tell my father what happened here."

"yes."

Seeing that Zhao Qinghan got angry, Ng Junyi didn't dare to say anything, so she had to take the order and leave.

On the official road to Hedong Prefecture to Hexi Fortress, Zhao Yue was slowly advancing under the escort of the Guards, and four supplementary regiments of the Fourth Division were accompanied by four supplementary regiments.

Speaking of which, these four supplementary regiments were originally from the Fourth Division and have been formed for a while, but they have been trained at the garrisons of other divisions. The backbone is also veterans drawn from several divisions, including three heavy infantrymen, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong.

If it weren't for winning Meng Hu, Zhao Yue wouldn't have added these four teams. No matter what, Lei Ming is not his Zhao Yue's direct subordinate. Now, in order to win over Meng Hu, Zhao Yue can only accept it, because Meng Hu doesn't buy anyone's account, and it seems that he only bought Lei Ming's account. Winning Lei Ming is winning over Meng Hu.

When Zhao Yue was thinking about how to point Meng Hu in Hexi, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from behind him. When he looked back quickly, his confidant Zheng Ke arrived.

"Zheng Ke, why are you here?" Zhao Yue frowned, "Didn't I ask you to go back to Xiling and stare at Ye Wentian?"

"Sir." Zheng Kele stopped the reins of the horse and gasped, "What a big deal!"

"Big thing?" Zhao Yue's heart was thrilled when he heard this and asked, "What big thing?"

Zheng Ke said: "I just received a message from the imperial capital that His Highness Yan has returned from the Galaxy Empire and has brought back an astonishing news from the Galaxy Empire. According to the detailed rewards of the Galaxy Empire lurking in the Bingzhou of the Mingyue Empire, at least two divisions of cavalry were transferred from Bingzhou more than two months ago!"

"You mean..." Zhao Yue immediately took a breath of air when he heard this, "Is Meng Hu's guess true?"

"I'm afraid that things are even more serious than Meng Hu's speculation. Even the cavalry in Bingzhou has transferred two divisions. Then the Mingyue Imperial Army that will gather this time must have at least two or more troops!"

Zheng Ke wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Sir, if it were normal for the Mingyue Empire to attack the whole country, it would not be afraid. But the situation in the empire is very delicate. If the western provinces are attacked at this time, all forces may not be willing to help. Situ Rui, an old man, is really good at picking the times!"

A word woke up the dreamer. The Glorious Empire is in an extraordinary period when the new and old kings are about to change. All forces are sharpening their swords and secretly trying hard, hoping that the one they support can ascend the throne. In this case, it is a blessing that the Glorious Empire will not have civil strife. Who else will care about Zhao Yue's life or death?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yue suddenly felt a cold sweat and said repeatedly: "Fortunately, Situ Rui has not yet launched an army, and at least there is still some time to prepare. The northwest is the eldest prince's person, and the southwest is the fourth prince's person. These two directions will definitely not be counted on. If you really want to ask for reinforcements, you can only count on Chongshan in the north."

Zheng Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although you have a good relationship with the Lord, you are a member of the Seventh Prince after all, and you are not in the same camp as the Lord. I am afraid you may not be willing to lend a helping hand. If you want to defend the western provinces and defeat Situ Rui's Mingyue army, you still have to rely on yourself."

Zhao Yue asked, "What are your good ideas?"

Zheng Ke replied: "Preserve the city and defend it, strengthen the walls and clear the fields."

"Well." Zhao Yue nodded, "Are you saying that you should withdraw all the people and food into several big cities, and then defend the city to the death, and use the long supply line to drag down Situ Rui's army?"

"That's right." Zheng Ke nodded and said solemnly, "But there must be a premise, that is, there must be enough time! It will take at least one month to withdraw most of the people and food into several big cities. If even the people in remote mountainous areas retreat into the big cities, it will take at least two months!"

"Um."

Zhao Yue nodded softly again, a hint of coldness gradually appeared on his face, and said, "The Tianlang Fortress is located on Tianlang Mountain Road. The terrain is dangerous and the guards are enough to defend it. The most worrying thing is the Hexi Fortress. If our governor does not transfer the four supplementary corpses, how many days can he last under Situ Rui with the existing forces of Meng Hu and Lei Ming?"

Zheng Ke was shocked when he heard this and replied in a low voice: "According to humble opinion, it can be up to five days!"

Zhao Yue frowned and said, "What if four more wings go up?"

Zheng Ke replied after pondering for a moment: "If there are four more regiments, it should be no problem to hold on for a month."

"Well, then I'll add two more corpses to the Fourth Division." Zhao Yue said in a low voice, "Meng Hu is a man with unknown origin and unclear identity. This is always a hidden danger, and this person is really too dangerous. If he listens to the hello, he will be fine. What if he doesn't listen to the hello and turns to the Ye family? That would be a big trouble!"

Zheng Ke was cold in his heart. He only gave two of the four regiments that he should give. Zhao Yue was thinking of abandoning his son!

Unexpectedly, a faint disappointment flashed through Zheng Ke's eyes. Zhao Yue was still not open-minded enough after all. When he saw a young handsome man like Meng Hu, the first thing he thought of was not deliberately winning over and recruiting, but jealousy of the virtuous and capable, and conspiracy to eliminate future troubles! If it were Situ Rui, he would never do this! Even Ye Wentian, his mind and demeanor were above Zhao Yue.

Just as Zheng Ke was about to persuade him, an officer suddenly brought Ng Junyi to Zhao Yue.

"Uncle Zhao!" Seeing Zhao Yue, Wu Junyi immediately shouted, "What happened, something big happened."

"Jun Yi?" Zhao Yue frowned, "Why are you here? Where is Qinghan? Why is she not with you?"

Ng Junyi said anxiously: "Uncle Zhao, Sister Qinghan is now in the Hexi Fortress. She asked me to come back and tell you that the army of the Mingyue Empire has already been fought, and there are at least two troops of more than two legions!"

"What? I've called it!?"

"What!? The girl Qinghan is still in the Hexi Fortress!?"

Zheng Ke and Zhao Yue were both shocked when they heard this, and Zhao Yue even asked anxiously: "Is the Hexi Fortress under attack now?"

"It wasn't when I came." Ng Junyi looked up at the sky that was about to dim, and then said, "But I heard from Sister Qing Han that the latest noon tomorrow, and the fastest thing is that in the middle of the night, the vanguard of the Mingyue Empire Army, the Light Cavalry, may be able to reach the Hexi Fortress."

"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!!! Oh no!!"

Zhao Yue screamed three times on the horse's back, and his eyes almost fell down.

Ng Junyi suddenly said, "Uncle Zhao, it's all Meng Hu, it's all left by him who instigated Sister Qing Han."

Zheng Ke's face changed drastically, and he shouted anxiously: "Junyi, shut up quickly, what do children know about every family?"

Zhao Yue frowned and stared at Wu Junyi and asked, "What did you say? Did Meng Hu instigate Qing Han?"
