The imperial capital of Longyang and Rongyang Prefecture. The Imperial Kuanglan Army has occupied this place, and the Western Alliance soldiers who were originally stationed here have long retreated into Longyang City.

At this moment, in the former Rongyang Prefecture Guard, officers of the Kuanglan Army and Fenwu Army and several representatives of the rebel army were seriously discussing the attack on Zhongdu Longyang.

"Lei Legion, Jiang Legion is here." Wang Jiantang walked into the house and quietly approached Zhang Ce, Li Yan, Xu Huanzong, Luo La and others watching the map's report.

"Here...here?! When did it come?" Lei Dongfeng said lightly, raised his head suddenly, looked at everyone with a happy look on his face.

"I plan to do something about my sister-in-law. She should be here today. Seeing that you are busy dealing with this information, I asked Wang Jiantang and others to greet you first, so I can give you a surprise." Zhang Ce said with a smile.

"You are so surprised that I should pick her up. Fortunately, Zhuying is not that kind of vulgar woman, otherwise I would have blamed me." Lei Dongfeng hit Chuan Ce in the head.

"Lei Army really knows Sister Jiang's heart." A moving voice sounded like an oriole, and then a girl wearing a goose yellow jacket and a skirt of the same color walked in. It was Li Ruoxi.

"Girl, you're here." Li Yan smiled and smiled.

"Li Ruoxi has seen you all." Li Ruoxi gave everyone a blessing. Her sweet and cute appearance immediately aroused everyone's praise. Luola even walked over and pulled Li Ruoxi's forearm like tender lotus root with joy.

"This sister is so beautiful, as charming as the water lily in the pond." Rolla said.

"You are Sister Roland's sister, right?" Li Ruoxi suddenly smiled when she saw Luola's appearance.

"How do you know?" Rollage said.

"I am so similar to Sister Roland, and I am younger than her. I am not my sister's sister, who else?" Li Ruoxi smiled.

"This sister is not only beautiful in life, but also so smart and charming." Lola praised.

"Uh, Miss Mu Tong, where is this... Jiang Legion?" Lei Dongfeng waited for a long time but didn't see Jiang Zhuying appear, and couldn't help but interrupt.

"Just outside the door, I heard you praise her as a vulgar woman, I'm already crazy about hearing it." Li Ruoxi chuckled.

"Zhuying." Lei Dongfeng was delighted on his face and walked out of the house with great strides.

"Brother." Outside the door, in the warm sunset, Jiang Zhuying stood pretty, her figure as bright and charming as a magnolia, and her fitted cowhide armor and moon-white battle robe made her look a bit cool and heroic.

"Zhuying..." Lei Dongfeng's big hands covered Jiang Zhuying's snow-white little hands, and tightly held the fingers like ten green onions in the palm of his hand.

"Let's go for a walk there." Jiang Zhuying's pretty face turned red, but she didn't struggle, pointing to a forest in the distance.

The Han soldiers passing by were all smiling kindly when they saw the two of them looking like this. They all knew their relationship and hoped that these two bosses who were very good at the subordinates could walk together.

"Huhh..." A heavy breathing sound suddenly sounded behind the two people, and then a head with huge nostrils squeezed into the middle of them.

"Dragon General!" Jiang Zhuying hugged the big head happily and stuck it intimately.

Since Jiang Zhuying lent the mount Dragon General to Lei Dongfeng, he missed it very much, and the dragon general was one of the rare psychic BMWs. He was just tied to the stable next to him. When Jiang Zhuying and Lei Dongfeng came over, he saw that Jiang Zhuying's thoughts were all about Lei Dongfeng's words that were in line with her, and there was no dragon general.

The dragon general was anxious and saw that the big black man he hated was going to take his master away. He actually broke the reins and ran over to get stuck with his master.

"Damn, you are a fool, come and disturb me again." Lei Dongfeng angrily pulled the reins of the dragon general.

"Hum——" Long Jiang shook his head with dissatisfaction and squeezed Lei Dongfeng a few meters away.

"You--" Lei Dongfeng was about to get angry, but he saw the warm scene of Jiang Zhuying and Long Jiang gathering together. Suddenly, his heart became warm and a hint of leisurely happiness appeared on his face.

~~~~~~~~

On the night of April 17, 999, the Central and Southern Provinces of the Empire, Rongyang Prefecture 80 miles away from Longyang, Zhongdu,

There was originally a light infantry 10,000-man brigade of the Western Alliance's Sea Blue Kingdom stationed here. It was brought by his side when the Ars expedition to Lei Dongfeng in the north. As a result, under the ambush of the sky and the earth collapsed and the charge of the Han cavalry, the loss rate exceeded 70%. Most of the remaining people became prisoners, and only less than a thousand people ran to Longyang directly.

Now, the more than 1,000 elite cavalry under Lei Dongfeng, plus the five thousand elite cavalry brought by Jiang Zhuying (including 1,000 cavalry from the former Kuanglan Army, 3,000 Xianbei cavalry who surrendered later, and 1,000 cavalry from the Fenwu Army), the nearly 10,000 rebels gathered from nearby towns, and the more than 1,000 Taishang Taoist gangs brought by the old Taoist Xu Huanzong, have brought the Rongyang Prefecture City, which was scattered a few days ago due to the war.

After nightfall, the streets were brightly lit. Although the entry and exit of ordinary people was restricted, there was no curfew in Rongyang Prefecture, so the noise in the entire city did not decrease during the day, but there was a potential order and solemnity in this excitement. Whenever a team of Han cavalry patrolled by the street, the eyes of the rebels and ordinary people looked at them were full of respect, and a body called hope appeared on everyone's faces from time to time.

"The Lei Dongfeng Legion of the Kuanglan Army is about to lead everyone to recover Zhongdu." A Han citizen on the roadside said excitedly.

"Western barbarians are like rabbits' tails, they can't grow anymore." Another commoner replied.

Talks like this often ring in the streets, restaurants and teahouses.

Several old men even saluted military salutes to the passing Han soldiers, but they turned out to be veterans who had retired. The Han soldiers who came and went back solemnly returned the salutes to these seniors who had dedicated their youth to the empire.

After enduring the rule of the Western coalition for several months, these Han children finally dared to stand up and express their feelings. It was these Han soldiers who were covered in dust and faced with determination.

Compared to the slightly leisurely people on the street, in the Yuancheng Guardian of Rongyang Prefecture, Lei Dongfeng, Jiang Zhuying and others were discussing enthusiastically with a group of Kuanglan Army officers and Xu Huanzong to attack Longyang tomorrow.

Xu Huanzong had already contacted the inside line in Longyang Mansion. Since Ars led the army away, the information transmission in Longyang has been relatively easier.

Moreover, after Lei Dongfeng and Jiang Zhuying met, Li Ruoxi also gave a answer to the questions he had about Jose's next step after he had captured Wanghai City. He told Lei Dongfeng and others about his analysis of Jiang Zhuying and others that day.

When he heard that Jose's ultimate goal was to plunder the imperial reserves of several provinces that had been accumulated in Zhongdu for two years, the expressions of the people in the house were solemn.

How to really get this batch of food and grass is undoubtedly a great addition to the tiger, and Als's previous actions have a relatively reasonable explanation.

"I don't have much stuff!" Lei Dongfeng sighed leisurely.

"You can't say that. Jose is almost fifty after all, and he is a cunning person. Moreover, for this plan, he can sacrifice his people from a province, and he is even more likely to be trapped in the Central and South China province. After all, his strength is so decisive." Li Ruoxi said.

When everyone heard this, they nodded frequently and looked at Li Ruoxi for a moment. Several people even thought to themselves: "Although this Jose is a cunning person, Miss Li, you are not inferior at all."

"Xu Dao, I'm sorry, you are under Zhongdu's subordinates. Hurry up and check whether there have been a large number of convoys or ships leaving Longyang recently." Lei Dongfeng has a very free and easy personality, and after a while of ashamed, he recovered.

Xu Huanzong immediately sent information to Long Yang's inside, asking them to check their recent trends.

Everyone also realized that it is no longer possible to stop the food and grass from Central and South from being transported to Jose. The best result is to drag Ars' army to Central and South. As for the East China Sea province, one is long, and the other is Jose has stood firm, and can only act according to his next move and see the opportunity.

The imperial capital was not going to see Jose heading north. Even though Li Ruoxi speculated that there were traitors in the imperial capital, at least the black dragon, flying tiger, and guard in the northern provinces of the empire would not be just decorations. Especially the British Marquis, who have not stood up yet, expressed their views on public opinion and the four people, that is, the situation is still under the control of some people.

With Lei Dongfeng's current identity, even if he wants to care about these things, he is still powerless. Jose still has at least 200,000 troops in the East China Sea. After obtaining the food and supplies stored in Central and South for one year, he is already a big tree, not something that Lei Dongfeng can shake.

What's more, Lei Dongfeng actually didn't think Jose would go north, he was more worried that Jose would choose to go south, which would make things more difficult.

After all, if Jose goes north, there will be many obstacles, and even if there is a shocking conspiracy, the conspirator will not tolerate Jose occupying the empire if he is not crazy.

But if Jose is determined to move south, the situation will be completely different.

Although the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces under the East China Sea Province have one of the top ten empire corpses, the Benlang Army stationed in the Dongdu Wanghai Province, the Bibo Army, the largest naval army in the Empire, and more than a dozen second-level corpses in the Jiangnan provinces, these corps are now scattered everywhere and it is difficult to form a joint force.

Moreover, the border of the Imperial coast is long and long. The Binlang Army and the Bibo Army are said to be in the east, and are striving to fight against the pirates on the Eastern Japanese and Nanyang Islands. More than a dozen other second-level legions also have their own heavy ranks. The Kunlun Army, Annan and other places near the southwest border, the Pingnan Army and other legions cannot move lightly, and always monitor the movements of the southwest vassal states.

Therefore, if Jose goes south, although the empire has already begun to arrange defense lines in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, what can be mobilized for a while are only third and fourth second-level corps and some reserve soldiers and civilians. Such troops will face Jose, and the consequences will be unpredictable.

If Jose really occupied the provinces in Jiangnan, although the empire has been through a thousand years, today's provinces in Jiangnan are no longer the main granaries of the empire, after all, there is a large economy and abundant money and materials. Whether it is taken or destroyed by Jose, it will be an unacceptable loss to the empire.

What's more, Lei Dongfeng has always vaguely felt that Jose was occupying the East China Sea and had other plans. Since the problem of supply and food supply and grass that he was most worried about has been solved, what purpose did Jose hide in the next step?

Lei Dongfeng couldn't think about it. He subconsciously looked up at everyone, but he was facing Li Ruoxi's insightful gaze.
