Fairy, Please Let Me Explain

"I didn't doubt your words."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly: "Li Qingyan, as the commander-in-chief in Beifeng City, needs to stabilize the morale of the army after all, and there are many things that cannot be clearly stated."

paused,

Xu Yuan asked softly again:

"Did Li Qingyan arrange scouts to investigate the barbarian army outside the city?"

Yuan Hao did not hesitate at all:

"Heavy snow covered the field of vision. Immediately after the explosion in the south of the city, His Highness Wu Yuan sent two teams of flying scouts to go out for reconnaissance."

"How?" Xu Yuan asked.

"There was a lot of damage, and only three of a hundred flying scouts came back."

"Commander Yuan."

Xu Yuan raised his hand to interrupt: "I'm not interested in casualties, what I'm asking is how many barbarian troops there are outside the city."

Yuan Hao was taken aback for a moment, feeling inexplicably apprehensive.

It's not that Xu Yuan is cold-blooded, but that the three young masters are asking these things because they want to interfere in the military's decision-making, right?

Thinking about it, Yuan Hao replied truthfully:

"Roughly estimated, there are about 400,000 people."

"etc."

Xu Yuan interrupted again:

"Now that the heavy snow is blocking the view, could the 400,000 be a straw man in disguise?"

The corner of Yuan Hao's mouth twitched, he cupped his hands and said:

"Although the field of vision is obstructed, the monsters on which the flying scouts ride use their cries to scout, and it is confirmed that they are all real people."

Hearing the words, Xu Yuan glanced back at Lou Ji who was standing behind him, wanting to confirm this through her.

After meeting her eyes, Lou Ji directly transmitted the sound with a smile:

"Not necessarily. The barbarian priests have means to hinder them. Zong Qingsheng almost suffered a big loss in this, um. He explained this to me through Tianxun Yuanjing."

Xu Yuan nodded noncommittal after listening.

Seeing the two looking at each other, Yuan Hao asked cautiously:

"Third Young Master, I don't know what you are asking this for?"

Seeing his expression, Xu Yuan understood, and smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, I won't do the kind of thing that an outsider commands an insider, just ask.

"But since these barbarian troops are real people, it has been almost an hour now, why haven't they attacked the city yet?"

Seeing this, Yuan Hao replied in a low voice:

"Third Young Master, the preparations for the long-distance siege of the city need to be prepared, the personnel need to rest, the equipment needs to be prepared, and the encirclement needs time.

"And the barbarians are now forming an array from both sides of Beifeng City to the north to encircle Beifeng City. It is estimated that they are preparing to block the reinforcements of the sect who are rushing south to help, and they will attack the city."

"."

Classic siege.

Xu Yuan sighed in his heart, and deliberately asked:

"In this way, those sects nesting in Houting County, which is 300 miles away, can be regarded as being wrong? The distance of 300 miles. Even if the road is blocked by heavy snow, with the speed of those elites, they should be able to arrive in two to three days, right? "

Yuan Hao had a stiff expression on Xu Yuan's question, and said in a low voice:

"Third Young Master, the communication wafer in Houting County was destroyed when it was occupied last time. After His Royal Highness Wu Yuan recovered Houting County, he had not had time to re-engraved it, so he had to send someone to deliver the letter."

"However, even if the letter is delivered, the heavy snow in the north of Beifeng City is basically impossible to see from five feet away. If you rush to reinforce, it is very likely that you will be directly intercepted by the barbarians, and the army will collapse immediately."

After Xu Yuan listened carefully, he nodded lightly:

"So I know, you go down."

Yuan Hao's heart relaxed, he cupped his hands and was about to leave quickly.

At this time, Xu Yuan's voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Yuan Hao, let the black scale army in the city go out to test the barbarians outside the city."

"."

Yuan Hao's heart sank when he heard this order, and he didn't speak.

Xu Yuan squinted his eyes:

"Why didn't you answer?"

Yuan Hao said in a deep voice:

"Third Young Master, this is death."

Xu Yuan's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and he paused every word:

"Commander Yuan, this is a military order."

Yuan Hao took a deep breath:

"Will be outside, military order."

"sister!"

Xu Yuan's tone dropped slightly, and Lou Ji locked onto Yuan Hao with a smile on her face.

After a moment of pressure, Yuan Hao knelt on the ground overwhelmed, silent for a few breaths, gritted his teeth and said:

"The general will be outside, and the military order must be accepted."

The words drop, the stress goes away.

Xu Yuan stood up from the desk, walked up to Yuan Hao, and bent down to look at him:

"We are old acquaintances who have worked together, and I know why you refused my military order.

"Oh, I feel like I issued military orders indiscriminately, and laymen commanded experts to cause unnecessary sacrifices."

With that said, Xu Yuan patted Yuan Hao on the shoulder, with a heavy voice:

"Commander Yuan, you are not standing high enough, and what you see is only a corner of a thousand miles. I can assure you that their sacrifices are necessary."

"."

Yuan Hao seemed to want to say something more when he heard the words, but in the end he just asked:

"If His Highness Wu Yuan asks about this matter, how will he answer?"

Now that Li Qingyan is in command of Beifeng City, and marching rashly, he must be held accountable.

"Well, just say,"

Seeing this, Xu Yuan stood up straight and chuckled lightly:

"...This is an order from the person in charge of the Xiangguo Mansion in the north."

"yes."

Upon hearing the words, Yuan Hao gave a fist-cup salute without hesitation, turned around and walked out of the wing.

"clatter--"

With the door closed,

Xu Yuan sat straight behind the desk, leaned back on the chair lazily, and rubbed the center of his brows vigorously.

"Long days."

Lou Ji suddenly asked softly:

"Why didn't you just tell Yuan Hao the reason?"

"What reason?"

"The barbarian priests have means to block the detection of flying scouts."

"Ah"

Xu Yuan gave a low laugh, looked back and asked:

"Sister, you know it's been a long time, why don't you tell them this important military situation?"

"."

They looked at each other, speechless.

"cluck cluck"

Lou Ji smiled at Bai Meisheng, walked forward and sat down on the desk, looking at Xu Yuan with a smile: "Our parents are as cautious as my sister and me~"

The reason is simple, Tianxun Yuanjing.

This is the top secret of Xiangguo Mansion's top secret, and in this war mode where repairers need to send letters as soon as they leave the city, Tianxun Yuanjing is the killer's trump card.

There are many smart people in the world, and Zong Qingsheng suffered this loss in the depths of the northern snowfield, and they knew the news. In the future, someone will be able to deduce that the Xiangguo Mansion has mastered some kind of mobile communication method.

Lou Ji put her hands on her chest, smiled lightly and asked:

"Then sister, can I ask why you do these things?"

Xu Yuan restrained his smile and said seriously:

"Of course I was afraid that the barbarian Yi Wang would come to me to cover up Chen Cang with one hand. Just now Yuan Hao also said that if the barbarians were suddenly intercepted by this natural disaster and snowstorm, the army would easily collapse."

"If the barbarians divide their troops into two places, detour all the way to the north and seal the south of the city, and still cruise around the Hou Ye and Mr. Zong all the way, if I rashly let Mr. Zong and the others come back to help, then it will really mess up."

"It is necessary to test out the reality of the barbarians outside the city, but it is impossible to test out if there are fewer people."

Lou Jidai frowned slightly:

"Is there any need to be so anxious? Go out of the city to try it out. If the barbarians really overwhelm all the tribes, at least half of this trip will not be able to come back."

Xu Yuan lowered his head and stared at his hand, remained silent for a while, and said:

"The barbarian detours must not have much supplies. When they encircle and attack the city, they will naturally be able to see the truth."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan raised his eyes:

"But now we need to race against time."

"Once it is confirmed that all the main forces of the barbarians have bypassed Beifeng City, you should immediately notify Mr. Zong to go south!"
