Heshuo City is the westernmost border city of Canglang Empire. Because it is located in the far west, bordering the Daliang Kingdom, it is not very prosperous here.

But the size of Heshuo City is staggering, with the entire city covering dozens of miles. Although Heshuo City is not prosperous, it has a large population and is a typical large city.

Yunwu Mountain is a natural barrier between the Canglang Empire and the Daliang Kingdom, but there is a road at the corner of Yunwu Mountain, which is the main channel for trade between the two countries.

Businessmen usually enter through this passage, but in wartime this is the only offensive passage.

The passage is about thirty miles wide, and the terrain is relatively complex. Both ends are guarded by both sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Recently, the Canglang Empire and the Great Liang Kingdom have stopped doing business and trade, and both sides have sent serious sick guards to lock this choke point.

Lin Huai was a military genius. He had guarded the border here before and knew the terrain here well. He knew that the Great Liang Kingdom could no longer hold back and had long wanted to take action against the Canglang Empire.

After all, the Canglang Empire is far richer than the Great Liang Kingdom, and the environment, climate, and resources here are much superior to the Great Liang Kingdom. Although the two countries have not gone to war for sixty years, small wars and frictions occur every few years.

It will happen once. Ten years ago, the Great Liang Kingdom tentatively attacked the Canglang Empire, and Lin Huai was the coach here at that time.

The battle was not a big one. The two sides deployed 200,000 troops. They fought for several months and suffered casualties on each other. In the end, the other side retreated when they saw that they could not gain any advantage. Since then, there has been no further friction.

Ordinary people all hope that there will be no war. Living and working in peace and contentment is what they want most. But things are not controllable by the people. The decision-making power of war lies in the hands of the higher-ups and the royal family.

Lin Huai was sitting in the Chinese military tent, discussing matters with his generals.

"Is there anything special happening today?"

"Back to the prince, there is nothing special at the moment, but I can feel that the other side is constantly increasing its troops. The passages we control are more than three hundred miles in total, and theirs is longer than ours. We have strengthened the passages where they are suitable for setting up ambushes.

Alert. We have arranged for 200,000 troops to enter the passage of more than 300 miles, and the intensity is enough." The deputy general quickly informed Zhennan Wang Linhuai of the situation.

"The passage is the first natural barrier. If the first line of defense is breached, we will be the ones who are passive. The terrain inside is narrow and steep, and they cannot be allowed to break through this line of defense under any circumstances. If the line of defense is breached, our casualties will be huge.

It's too tragic." Lin Huai understands the importance of this line of defense.

"Although the opponent has not attacked yet, we must transport troops inside as soon as possible. We must invest at least 500,000 people into the passage of more than 300 miles. We use 500,000 to defend, and their 2 million people to attack are useless. This

It’s the defensive advantage and the offensive disadvantage.”

"Back to the prince, we are adding troops every day. All the personnel at the first point are in place, and we are replenishing the following points. Even if they launch an attack, it will not be a big problem. If they want to break through our first point, no one will

It's impossible to achieve it even if it's just a month." The deputy general said confidently.

"Yeah. But we can't be careless. We must go all out to prepare. Once this war breaks out, the Great Liang Kingdom will definitely put all their efforts into it. Both sides will have no way out. Move the command post forward and place it behind the first point.

Thirty miles away, if a war breaks out, I will take command from the front," Lin Huai continued.

"Your Majesty, it will be difficult for the general to agree. It would be too dangerous."

"My lord, the general doesn't agree either. You are the coach and can only make plans. The front line is where we should go."

"Your Majesty, even if you are engaged in military law, we will never let you rush to the front line."

…

All the generals completely disagreed with Lin Huai's arrangement because it was too dangerous.

"I have made up my mind, and none of you are allowed to dissuade me. I want all the soldiers to know that I am with them, which is very important to our morale. At the same time, I can grasp the first-hand battle situation and adjust the layout at any time." Lin

Huai waved his hand and he had already made his decision.

"The general will not agree."

"My subordinates disagree."

…

But everyone insisted on opposing Zhennan King's decision, and their collective opposition made Lin Huai helpless.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's better than this. You can sit in Heshuo City and I will lead my people to guard the front. The distance of three hundred miles is not that far. After all, a strong man in the God Refining Realm can deliver the news back in a few hours. You can then

It’s too late to make arrangements,” Lin Huai’s deputy Zhao Yan said.

Zhao Yan was not only Lin Huai's deputy, but he was also a relative of the emperor. His status was very special, and he also had the right to write directly to the emperor. However, Zhao Yan had always respected Lin Huai and was always respectful to Lin Huai.

"Since General Zhao has the same opinion, let's make this decision for the time being. The front line is under the full command of General Zhao, and no one is allowed to violate General Zhao's military orders." Lin Huai then began to issue orders.

Back at his temporary residence, Lin Huai was sitting in the living room drinking tea. At this time, he was in a very depressed mood.

The war is inevitable, and I don’t know how long it will last. I haven’t seen my daughter and sons for several years. My grandson and granddaughter are both over one year old, and I haven’t seen them yet.

What does it look like.

If the war was delayed for a few months, he might go back to visit them, but now this wish could no longer be realized. Flame City is more than ten thousand miles away from Heshuo City, and they were too far away from here, and it was not convenient for them to come here. Thinking of this, he felt

It's still a pity.

"Master, do you miss the children?" Lin Kui asked from the side.

Lin Kui is the old man of the Lin family. He has been a book boy with Lin Huai since he was a child. They have been together for more than forty years. He has always been with Lin Huai and is responsible for his daily life. Although he is a servant, there is no one in the Lin family.

Treat him as a servant. Even Lin Xuejiao respectfully calls him "uncle."

Although Lin Kui is only a ninth-level master of the Earth Refining Realm, he still has a very high vision when he is with Lin Huai. At the same time, he understands Lin Huai's thoughts very well, and he is also someone whom Lin Huai trusts very much.

"Yes, there is going to be a war soon, and it will be even more difficult to see them." Lin Huai said, feeling a little disappointed here.

"Don't worry, sir. Once the war breaks out, I dare say that my uncle will definitely come here. With his temperament, he will definitely not be idle." Lin Kui said with a smile.

"Yes. You are right. That boy Zhao Fei is not a law-abiding guy. If there is such a big movement here, he will definitely try to get involved." Lin Huai said with a smile.

"The medicinal materials we have here are all supplied by the Wu family, with low prices and good quality. I have seen that they are all carefully selected, and my uncle is also thoughtful."

"Well. This little guy still has patriotic feelings. He knows that war will bleed to death, and there will be no carelessness in this regard." Lin Huai nodded.

"The messenger going to Yanbei should have returned in the past two days. I don't know how prepared Yanbei Hou is. There can't be any more trouble in his place. If there is no peace there, we will be in big trouble." Lin Huai's

There was deep concern on his face.

"It will probably be calm. This is a war that has been planned for a long time. The possibility of them joining forces to attack from a pincer is quite high. The emperor should be on guard." Lin Kui's face was also serious.

"Notice that the newly arrived army of 500,000 people will be arranged near Heshuo City so that they can strengthen their training and actively prepare for war."

"Okay, sir, I'll go deliver the order right away." After Lin Kui left, Lin Huai stood up and walked to the small courtyard. He looked up at the sky, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"You send this secret order to the imperial capital quickly. I have written down the situation here and must hurry up and submit it to the emperor. King Zhennan is really a rare and handsome man, and he is loyal to the Canglang Empire." Zhao

Yan handed a letter to his cronies.

He is not only Lin Huai's deputy, but he is also the emperor's thorn in Lin Huai's side. He also has to monitor Lin Huai to prevent him from having different intentions. After all, he has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he must control it soon.

More than a million troops.

Zhao Yan's wife is the emperor's youngest sister, which means that Zhao Yan is the consort. But Zhao Yan never puts on airs as a consort, and he is very upright. Although he is only a sixth-level master of the God Refining Realm, he has always controlled this.

An army of five hundred thousand.

It was not until Lin Huai came over that he handed over his military power. Although he handed over his military power, he had no complaints. After all, Lin Huai was much more talented than him in all aspects, and he was a person who knew current affairs.

The most valuable thing about people is self-knowledge, and people with self-knowledge are smart people. Zhao Yan is very smart, so he and Lin Huai cooperate well, and Lin Huai is also very satisfied with what he does.

Three days later, the messenger who went to Yanbei City came back, and the news he brought was not optimistic. The north was also ready to move, and it was possible to send troops to invade.

Lin Huai felt even more complicated when he heard the news, but he knew that he could not express any opinions and opinions for the time being. He could only express his opinions when the emperor asked for them.

The seemingly peaceful Heshuo City was not at peace. Troops were mobilized on a large scale, and even ordinary people understood that a war had begun. Many wealthy people began to move their families, hoping to avoid the war.

Lin Huai did not take extreme measures, and he did not hold people responsible for their escape. After all, this was a big war, and many people would die.

Zhao Fei does not know what is happening in Heshuo City. He has been stockpiling strategic materials. Although he does not hold an official position, he cares about the people of the world and is willing to contribute to his country, even if he has to pay more.

many.

"I don't know what's going on with my father. I'm really worried about him. In this situation, I can't go over to see him. If there is a suitable opportunity, I must go over to see him. In times of crisis, we still have to find ways to help him.

Lin Xuejiao said to Zhao Fei.

"Don't worry, I will go visit him once the opportunity comes. The war there hasn't started yet, so there is nothing to do for the time being. Everyone is preparing for the war. The war is about to break out. It seems inevitable. I don't know whether Wang
