Chapter 238 - Return
December 15th, Zhao Chen returned to Middle Han Area!
Everything in the Middle Han Area was normal. After a few years of development, the citizens of the Middle Han Area were living and working happily, and the economy of the Middle Han Area was flourishing! Zhao Chen did not disturb the ordinary citizens of the Middle Han Area. He had entered the Hanzhong City in the dead of the night and arrived at the Imperial Palace! Here, he saw Zheyue Ru, but Zheyue Ru was already asleep, Zhao Chen did not disturb him, and on the morning of the second day, before the sky had even begun to brighten, Zhao Chen had already left the Imperial Palace and was rushing towards the north! When Zheyue Ru woke up, he realized that the clothes he made for Zhao Chen had already disappeared. On the table, there was a few words left behind for Zhao Chen to take care of his body.
Late into the night of December 30th, Zhao Chen finally arrived at the Wu Gong County in the east of Guan Shan!
Zhao Chen, Kang An and the others were currently walking forward in the dense forest, step by step! The snow was too thick and the path was extremely difficult. Their walking speed was a bit slow!
At this moment, a few shadows appeared in front of him. A deep and low voice could be heard, "Who is it?"
"His Majesty is here!" Kang An had already spoken.
"Who?" An incredulous voice came from the other side.
"The current Great Song Emperor, Zhao Chen!" Zhao Chen said.
"AHH!" A burst of exclamations came from the other side!
Very quickly, a person ran over to Zhao Chen's side. The person saw Zhao Chen's face clearly and knelt down: It really is His Majesty! This General Liang Hao greets His Majesty! "
This is the young Liang Hao that joined the Imperial Guard back then. Right now, he no longer has the immature aura that he once had.
Following Liang Hao's voice, the rest of the people in the distance also ran over, they knelt down and paid their respects to Zhao Chen.
"Hurry up and rise!" Zhao Chen said.
Only then did Liang Hao and the other soldiers stand up. They looked at Zhao Chen with excitement in their eyes.
"Your Majesty has finally returned! Since you are not in Guan Shan, it is as if we do not have a backbone! Now that you're back, that's great! Under your leadership, we can face any difficulties and obstacles, and defeat any powerful enemy! " Liang Hao said excitedly.
"Me too, only by being together with you can I feel the true power! "Come, take me to your military camp!" Zhao Chen said.
Liang Hao nodded, then led Zhao Chen, Kang An and the rest to the front!
The snow in the dense forest was very thick, and in some places, it could even bury a person's waist! But Liang Hao had stayed here for a very long time, and was extremely familiar with the environment, so under his lead, Zhao Chen, Kang An and the rest did not sink into the snow!
As he continued forward, he saw corpses everywhere! These corpses were all in the military uniform. There were wounds all over their bodies. Some of them even had arrows on them! The snow had covered their bodies, but their struggling faces could still be seen.
"Your Majesty, just three days ago, there was a war here. The corpses of our own people have been collected and buried, and we didn't have enough time to bury the bodies of our enemies!" Liang Hao said.
"How large was the war?" Zhao Chen said.
"A war in which only a few dozen people are involved! On the other side, the subordinates of the Conan's traitor actually tried to pass through the forest and were discovered by the soldiers on patrol. Liang Hao said.
"Do wars like this happen often?" Zhao Chen said.
"That's right!" During this year, more than three thousand soldiers of the Imperial Guard had died at the border! Some died fighting with the subordinates of the Conan's traitor, while some died fighting with the female true spirit! The enemy has been trying to infiltrate us, and we have tried to infiltrate them! Occasionally, there would also be some friction at the border, which would lead to a war! In the eastern part of Guan Shan, there were battles almost every day! In the north, the defenses of the Tsinghua Army s were the same! Soldiers are on high alert all the time, not daring to relax. Even if today is New Year's Eve, the army wouldn't dare to relax! Last year, the Jin Army launched a huge attack on New Year's Eve. This year, no one knows whether they will continue to make a big attack! " Liang Hao said.
Zhao Chen nodded, that day when he left Guan Shan, it was like this! A year had passed, but things were still the same here! The war was still on the verge of breaking out. The three sides were not ready yet. The generals of all three sides were severely restricting their subordinates, but even so, small scale battles still continued to occur!
"Be careful, Your Majesty. There's a trap here!" said as they walked past an empty space.
He jumped over the trap, Zhao Chen, Kang An and the rest also jumped over!
As they moved forward, the closer they got to the border, the more traps they encountered!
Finally, a camp appeared in the forest ahead! As soon as they arrived at the camp, they were immediately discovered!
"His Majesty has returned!" Liang Hao walked over with big steps, and said to the soldiers standing guard!
"What?" Your Majesty? " The soldiers revealed looks of disbelief and joy!
They all rushed to Zhao Chen's front, to pay their respects to him!
The clamor here had woken the rest of the soldiers up, and the rest of the soldiers rushed out. When they saw Zhao Chen, they were both pleasantly surprised!
A moment later, an earth-shattering sound rang out!
In the middle of the night, the sound of snow falling could be heard as countless birds flapped their wings in panic and flew away.
On the opposite side of the camp, five kilometers away, was a camp of the King Kang's army! An earth-shattering ten thousand years later, everyone in the camp was shocked awake! The soldiers under the Emperor Kang also stood up, staring at the opposing party in shock!
"What are they doing in the middle of the night?"
"Long live the voice! Could it be … Could it be that the Emperor Xuanwu has arrived? "
"Oh my god!" It seemed to be true! We must immediately send this news to the higher ups! "
The Emperor Kang camp was shocked, someone had already gone to inform their officer, someone was passing through the forest and heading towards the Southern Mountain, Chang An and other places, this wasn't even mentioning!
Zhao Chen, Kang An and the rest had already reached Wu Gong County City!
After a year of construction, the Wu Gong County was also very different from before. The city walls had been completely repaired! Other than the city walls, the dilapidated residences in the county had also been repaired! Currently, most of the people living in this county were soldiers. There were also countless weapons here to defend the city! In addition, there were two additional secondary cities outside the Wu Gong County. Those two secondary cities and the Wu Gong County were in a triangular opposition, with both sides flocking together and supporting each other. The majority of the people living inside were soldiers!
Other than these, there were countless other tents, big and small fortresses around the Wu Gong County. On the west side of Wu Gong County were countless of villages and towns. All of these villages and towns were inhabited by warriors from the Production and Construction Corps.
There were over a hundred thousand regular soldiers gathered here, over two hundred thousand of them could be considered as the Production and Construction Corps s of the militia! This was now a purely military area! After a year of construction, the defense here was already extremely strong. According to the plans of Yue Fei, Yu Yunwen, Curved End, and the others, they had to be able to fend off the sudden large-scale attacks of the Emperor Kang, the real female cultivators, until the arrival of the Shanbei Forbidden Army s, the Jingyuan Army s, and the rest!
Zhao Chen was standing on top of the city wall and looking at the surrounding construction situation. Yue Fei, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen, Curved End, Wang De and the others were all standing behind him!
"While I was in Chuan Shu, I kept receiving news from Guan Shan! "I heard that the staff officer's headquarters has been built extremely well. I'll have a look in a bit!" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, the number of staff officers in the headquarters has reached nearly two thousand! From the Forbidden Army, Tsinghua Army, Shanbei Forbidden Army, and Shanbei Forbidden Army, we have transferred countless people with combat experience, logistics experience, and intelligence experience into the combat department, the logistics department, and the Information Services! Since the second half of last year, the staff officer had been on the right track! In addition, there were staff officers in the army, but their staff did not involve logistics, only combat operations and intelligence! "The staff of each army shall not only support the general but also carry out the orders of the general staff officers!" Yu Yunwen said.
Zhao Chen nodded his head, and said: "I will be looking through the information in a while, let's discuss the time when the great battle will truly come!"
Yu Yunwen said: "Your Majesty, we have just received some information which is disadvantageous to us!"
Zhao Chen said: "Is it news from the north? I received your information while I was on the road! "
Yu Yunwen nodded, and said: "We are in danger of facing a three-way pincer attack!"
