Chapter 188 A Great War Was Imminent

In the Big Yellow City General's Mansion, Mr. Lu and Lin Shou exchanged some information before starting to discuss countermeasures.

The two of them were old acquaintances, and their relationship seemed to be quite good. Xu Han had been worried that the suspicion between the two forces had not occurred, which made him feel much more at ease.

His desire for power had always been dispirited, not to mention that he knew nothing about the march to war, so he had no intention of fighting for the power of Big Yellow City from the beginning. However, he couldn't help but worry that the Lin Guards might have some distrust of them, adding to the already worrying situation.

Mr. Lu paused for a moment, as if he was thinking of a decent word to decorate Xu Han's actions along the way. "Of course, the hundred thousand troops of Big Yellow City are elite soldiers, but the twenty thousand troops sent by the Imperial Court are really nothing to be recounted. Although our Manor Master has traveled all the way …"

'"Yes," he said earnestly. "Even though we barely have enough combat strength, our organization is different. It would be unrealistic for us to use them in a short period of time. In that case, the Big Yellow City Battle will still depend on the 100,000 soldiers in Old General Lin's hands."

Mr. Lu's words not only made the situation clear, but also tactfully expressed to Lin Shou that Tiance Prefecture would not compete with him for power.

Such an action might seem superfluous, but in reality, it was extremely necessary.

The most important thing in marching to war was to order and prohibit them. If they were to join forces, not only would they not be able to cover everything, they might even be able to restrain each other. Compared to Big Yellow City, Tiance Prefecture's strength was far inferior. Even if Lin Shou was willing to hand over the military power, they might not be able to convince the crowd. Therefore, this method was the best choice to defend against the enemy.

Hearing this, the smile on Lin Shou's face grew slightly heavier.

"Mu Ji has 200,000 Mu Clan troops in his hands and borrowed another 100,000 Great Xia cavalry from Cui Ting. If Big Yellow City wants to survive this calamity, it is absolutely impossible for Lin Shou to do it alone. We still have to rely on everyone to defend against the enemy together." Although his words were evasive, they actually echoed Mr. Lu's previous words.

"Naturally, it's just that does Old General Lin have a plan to retreat from the enemy?" Seeing the courtesy in front of him, Mr. Lu changed the topic and quickly went straight to the point.

"Compared to this old man, Big Yellow City doesn't need to say much. With the hundred thousand strong army in my hands, it is difficult for me to defeat Mu Ji and Cui Ting's seven hundred thousand strong army. I really don't have a good plan." After saying that, he looked at Mr. Lu and asked with a deep gaze, "Mr. Lu has always been resourceful, do you have any special moves?"

"Muji ability, general Lin is clearer than me, want to deal with him, naturally can't be common sense, but I Tiance Prefecture yan even building before the detection, Muji's body seems to be worse these years. As I recall that he hastily acted on this matter, I secretly speculated that Mu Ji probably won't have much time left … As long as Mu Ji dies, the 200,000 Mu Clan Army will definitely be without a leader … "Mr. Lu said in a deep voice.

"You mean to drag Mu Ji's body out?" Lin Shou frowned. Such a plan could be said to be the next choice. Handing over life and death to the enemy was undoubtedly the stupidest method.

"Big Yellow City is still like an island. This old man thinks about it, but there is only one way. However, waiting for Mu Ji to drag down his body is obviously not a good plan. What this old man means is to find an opportunity to kill the leader of the thieves." Mr. Lu's voice froze at that moment.

"Decapitation?" Lin Shou was stunned. Very quickly, he said, "To tell you the truth, this Pharaoh has thought about it before, However, the Mu Clan's army is full of experts. There are three Great Evolution Realm generals alone. On the other hand, there is not a single Great Evolution Realm cultivator in our Big Yellow City. Only Lord Hou Ling, the commander of the Tiance Prefecture, can fight against them. However, even Commander Yuan himself may not be able to accomplish this, let alone Lord Hou. "

'"Commander Yuan, I'm afraid you won't be able to arrive in a short period of time. Although the beheading is a dangerous move, I think that if you want to break through the trap of death, you have to burn your boat!" The light in Mr. Lu's eyes condensed, and a murderous aura rose.

Xu Han, who was sitting at the side, was stunned. He suddenly realized that the head of the three thousand ministers should not be as simple as a weak scholar.

…

The old general is really good at running the army.

After dinner, Xu Han, who was walking in Big Yellow City, couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at the neat and imposing soldiers on the streets.

Mu Ji was about to attack Big Yellow City very soon. The remnants of the Imperial Court and the thirty thousand soldiers he brought were mixed together after the discussion of the crowd. They were brought to start training by the current temporary Great Commander of the Tiance Prefecture Army, Hou Ling. Although this method was a bit like cramming for the moment, it was better than not doing anything.

Lin Shou pulled the red-robed officials to discuss how to set up the city defenses.

Xu Han was really unable to help with these matters, so he went out on his own.

The night was just right, and the autumn breeze was slightly cool.

However, Xu Han did not have the heart to appreciate it. He was very worried about the Battle of Big Yellow City.

"Manor Master, Manor Master." At this moment, a crisp shout came from his ear. Xu Han regained his senses and turned his head to look, only to see Su Mu'an holding a bunch of sugar gourds and looking at him with a smile on his face. "Try it. It's delicious!"

As the boy spoke, he handed over the candy bottle gourd.

Xu Han was stunned and asked with a straight face, "Didn't I tell you to eat less? Did Qing secretly stuff you with money again?"

"No." The boy was a little aggrieved. He pointed to a woman's stall not far away and said, "That mother-in-law gave it to me kindly. She didn't ask for money!"

Xu Han was stunned. Under Mu Ji Bing's gaze, more than half of the people in Big Yellow City had fled. The rest were mostly huddled in their homes. Few people had the mood to go out, let alone set up a stall. This was somewhat strange.

He glanced at Su Mu'an angrily, "Nonsense again, how can I give you sugar gourd for nothing?"

"Really." Seeing that Xu Han did not trust him, the boy immediately became anxious. "The old granny heard that I'm from Tiance Prefecture, so she gave me this candied gourd." Seemingly in order to increase the credibility of his words, the boy paused for a moment and then said, "I really did not lie to the Manor Head. The machetemen never lie."

Xu Han automatically ignored the last sentence of the boy. He shook his head and walked to the old woman's stall with a boy who was afraid of life.

"Old man, this is the child's gourd money." As he spoke, he took out ten pennies from his bosom and handed them to the woman.

Doing some business in this world was not an easy task. A sugar bottle gourd was probably the rations of a family. At this juncture, the old woman couldn't help but not leave. She even went to the streets to earn a living. She didn't think that her family would be too wealthy. Xu Han wasn't willing to take advantage of her.

The old woman who was concentrating on wrapping the gourd in sugar lifted her head. He glanced at Xu Han and was slightly stunned. Then, she came back to her senses.

A woman with many wrinkles on her face shook her head, "No need, just give it to the little fellow. Tiance Prefecture is willing to help us in Big Yellow City. I, an old woman, make some sugar gourds that are not worth much."

At that time, the old woman's face carried a sincere smile. She could not say how beautiful it was, but it gave Xu Han a sense of warmth that was inexplicable.

He thought for a moment and withdrew the hand that had passed the money.

Xu Han frowned and asked, "Big Yellow City's great battle is imminent. Why didn't the old man leave earlier? After all … the chaotic land of war …"

"Old man, how can we endure such a torment? Besides, don't we still have General Lin here?" The old woman waved her hand and smiled. There was not the slightest bit of nervousness in the face of a great battle.

"My two sons are also in the army. If they don't leave, where can I go?" The old woman continued. She did not stop her kung fu and wrapped another gourd in a sugar coat.

'"Little brother, I also have a bunch. I don't have any other abilities, but this sugar gourd is very delicious. My two sons always eat a bunch every time they come back." The woman smiled and handed the gourd to Xu Han.

Xu Han was stunned. After a slight hesitation, he took the gourd. After tasting it, it was really delicious.

"Isn't it delicious?" The woman's eyes curved into crescent moons.

"Mm, it's delicious. This is the best sugar gourd I've ever tasted." Before Xu Han could reply, Su Mu'an nodded heavily and said with an intoxicated expression.

The old woman who received the compliment was delighted. "I have always been setting up a stall here. If you want to eat in the future, you can come to find your mother-in-law at any time."

"Yes." Hearing this, Su Mu'an was overjoyed and nodded heavily. Xu Han, who was watching from the side, secretly scolded this brat for his uselessness. How could there be such a swordsman who loved to eat sugar gourds in the world?

"Sigh, I wonder when those Xia army masters will be able to retreat. When will this battle end?" The old woman smiled, and her expression suddenly became somewhat dull.

"Granny, don't worry. Our Prefecture Master is amazing. He will be able to drive those villains away very quickly!" Su Mu'an chewed on a sugar gourd and spat out an ambiguous sentence.

"Eat the gourd. There's no need to talk so much." Xu Han handed the gourd in his hand to Su Mu'an and said unhappily.

Su Mu'an knew that she had misspoken, so she quickly closed her mouth, but her eyes were looking at the sugar gourd in her hand, and she smiled brightly.

Woo!

But at this moment, a long horn suddenly sounded in the direction of the city gate.

Xu Han was stunned for a moment before turning to look in the direction of the city gate.

"Hurry up! The Xia army is attacking at night!!!"

"Archers, hurry!"

"Go inform the general! Don't grind it!"

Anxious shouts came from the city gates.

Xu Han's pupils suddenly dilated. Mu Ji's attack came much faster than he had imagined.
