Farming and Reclaiming Wasteland, I Pampered Hou Ye In Ancient Times - Chapter 863 Southern barbarian reoccurrence

  Chapter 863 The Southern Barbarian Offends Again

  Chu Lixuan patiently helped his children and took out the red envelopes in his pocket.

   "Daddy will help you put it away, and I will keep it for you when you grow up."

   "Yeah... easy to say..." said the three children dancing.

   Then continue to receive the red envelopes, and put them into the pocket on the chest with quick movements, and don't want what everyone is rare.

  Happily passed the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor of Xichu returned to Xichu with many guards, Hao Yue and Hao Shengsheng.

  Hao's father and Hao's mother brought their youngest son to live in Xuanyan Castle. Hao Jiaojiao has already married Wei Dabin, so naturally she will not return to West Chu.

  Everyone celebrated the Lantern Festival happily again. Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu went to Yazhou with their wives who were married less than a month ago.

  Because Cui Yingjie from Yazhou came back with a letter from Feige, saying that Nanman, who had been repaired for more than a year, was ready to move again.

  Dai Yuntao's wife is going to have a baby in a few months, so he is left to guard Xuanyan Castle.

  Chu Lixuan took care of the children every day, and didn't want to fight in person, but Wei Dabin and the others left.

  He also took his wife and children and his family of five to various provincial capitals for inspections. The couple wanted to take the children to experience the customs of Xuanyan Dynasty.

   At the same time, it is also to see if the managers of the provincial capitals are qualified for the job.

  Yazhou, Wei Dabin and the others just arrived, and they received news that the scouts had come back before they rested.

  Nanman mobilized another 300,000 troops and headed straight for Yazhou City, two hundred miles away from Yazhou.

   "General, this is an urgent message from the front line."

   While the generals were waiting for the final letter of challenge, suddenly one of Cui Yingjie's personal soldiers ran over quickly.

  He held a battle report in his hand, and hurriedly handed it to Cui Yingjie.

  Cui Yingjie immediately handed it to General Wei Dabin, who quickly took it and looked at it carefully.

  His eyes gradually became sharper, and finally, he handed the battle report to Cui Yingjie beside him and said.

   "Gather all the soldiers immediately and tell everyone that the Nanman army is less than a hundred miles away from our Yazhou City. Everyone, get ready to meet the enemy."

  Cui Yingjie and the lieutenants nodded, turned and left.

  At this time, Wei Dabin was not worried that Nanman was about to attack, he just wanted to show Nanman some color.

  The Nanban have been attacking Yazhou for these years, and Yazhou's previous defense force was not very strong.

  However, it is different now. Their defense system is very strong, and ordinary people cannot shake it.

  Wei Dabin knew very well that the Nanman was determined to attack Yazhou this time, but so what.

  Nanman has no ability to fight Xuan Yanchao against them, it's just that the Nanman people don't know how powerful they are.

  Just have a look at Nanman this time, let them remember Xuan Yanchao's uniqueness.

   "General, is this news reliable?" At this moment, a voice sounded, it was an old general.

  He is Yang Guogong. Last year, Emperor Dongchen sent his cronies to encircle and suppress him. It was Chu Lixuan who personally saved their family.

  Later, Yang Guogong and his son asked to guard Yazhou, and his father, wife and children were still in Shangni County Guogong Mansion.

  For more than a year, Yang Guogong and his son have been guarding this territory conscientiously, and usually follow everyone to open up wasteland and farm.

  Yang Guogong felt that such days were very fulfilling. During the Chinese New Year, they also returned to Shangni County to spend with their families.

  Cui Yingjie also has a few young generals, and their family is in Yazhou, so they celebrate the New Year in Yazhou.

   "This news should be true. Our scouts are not vegetarians, but the Duke doesn't need to worry."

  Wei Dabin pointed to the piece of paper with news written on it, which stated the marching route of the Nanman army and the speed of food transportation.

   There is still some combat power, Yang Guogong is really observing, and his eyebrows gradually frowned.

   "The Nanman army actually chose a path leading directly to Yazhou this time, and the marching speed was extremely fast.

   Such a speed, I am afraid that even the generals of the Nanban may not be able to do it. "

   Yang Guogong said in surprise, his face became serious, "If this is true, the Nanban is coming so fiercely this time, we are afraid that we will suffer a hard battle."

   "The general is afraid that they will not come, and if they come, I am afraid that there will be no return. Our defensive walls are unmatched."

   "General Wei, I have an idea." Another veteran stood up and said.

   "Oh? What do you think?" Wei Dabin raised his head and asked gently.

   "We have 200,000 troops here, and the Nanban has 300,000 troops. In terms of numbers, we don't have an advantage. Why don't we go and ambush them?"

  After listening to his words, other generals also thought this method was good, but Wei Dabin denied it.

  Wei Dabin pondered for a while and said: "Our master just wants to defeat Nanman in one fell swoop, and give them a big blow. If they ambush, even if they win, Nanman is not too afraid."

  Everyone also nodded, they all knew that this Nanman army was definitely not a kind person.

   If there is no perfect way to deal with it, it is absolutely impossible to shock this army.

   "Since this is the case, let's discuss a battle plan first, and then study whether it is feasible."

  Wei Dabin finally made a decision, and everyone agreed and thought about it.

   "General Wei, you are right. This time, I am afraid that we must win in one fell swoop to suppress the Nanman."

   "But this is too risky, isn't it? That Nanman has an army of 300,000." Yang Guogong frowned and said.

   "300,000 troops are nothing, don't worry too much, they will arrive in Yazhou in one day."

   Wei Dabin saw the worried expressions on the faces of Yang Guogong and the generals, and said comfortingly.

   "General Wei, is it true that there will be no more problems this time?" General Li asked a little worried.

  Yang Guogong also nodded: "General Wei, if there is any problem, you and I can't afford it."

   "There won't be any problems. Just believe me, we will definitely win this time."

   "I hope so."

  Everyone nodded when they heard Wei Dabin's words, although they felt something was wrong.

  At this time, a lieutenant hurried in, came to Wei Dabin and whispered.

   "Report to General Wei, there is an army coming here ahead, it should be the Nanman army."

  Hearing the words of the lieutenant general, everyone became nervous.

"what should we do?"

   "It's just in time, the general will meet them in person." Wei Dabin snorted coldly, stood up and was about to go out.

  But just as he stood up, he was stopped by Yang Guogong.

   "Wait a minute, General Wei, please wait until we discuss it before making a decision." Yang Guogong said in a deep voice.

  Hearing Yang Guogong's words, Wei Dabin stopped and stepped forward, "You guys discuss the countermeasures slowly, and this general will go to fight first."
