The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

After a long while, he finally woke up from a dream, opened his eyes and mouth wide. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he decided whether it was a dream or not, it was Lu Siniang who came back.

He hurriedly got off the ground, not even having time to put on his shoes, and stood barefoot in front of Lu Siniang, bowed deeply to her, and said respectfully, "Good morning, Madam."

Lu Si Niang had no choice but to return the greeting: "Good morning, Master."

"I heard from the maid that Madam has gone on a long journey. When will she come back?"

"Just came in."

"Madam, you have worked hard all the way. Please take a rest."

Lu Siniang looked at the bed behind Ge Dongqing, and Ge Dongqing realized that he had slept in Lu Siniang's room last night. He slapped himself in his heart, thinking how shameless he was. He explained in a panic, "Madam, please don't blame me. Dongqing was drunk last night and didn't find his own room, so he slept in your bed by mistake. I hope you will forgive me."

"It's okay, you don't want to sleep for a while?"

Ge Dongqing's forehead was covered with sweat. He pretended to glance out the window and said, "The sun is already high in the sky. You must not get drunk again. Madam, please take a rest. Dongqing has something important to discuss with the Marquis at the Governor's Mansion."

Without waiting for Lu Si Niang to say anything, the man ran away.

A maid quickly picked up Ge Dongqing's shoes and chased after him, "Master, you don't wear shoes anymore."

Ge Dongqing did not stay at home for a moment and went straight to the prefect's mansion. When he arrived at the mansion, he drank two cups of tea in a row to calm himself down. Then he looked as if he had escaped a disaster and was safe and sound.

Suiying was confused, "Mr. Ge, were you chased by a dog? Why do you seem dazed and flustered? Are you frightened too much?"

Ge Dongqing didn't know what it was to be ashamed here, and told everyone what happened at home in one breath.

Wan Lianxing couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "Dongqing, you are just this lowly. What was your big talk last night?"

Ge Dongqing looked a little depressed, "Brother, I was drunk and did something stupid last night. Next time, please stop me and don't let me die. I need to stay away from Lu Siniang."

Suiying said, "You have a wife, unlike the Marquis who is unmarried. You all live like monks. I think you should all become monks."

Wan Lianxing said: "Could you please stop talking about monks? You don't know how to be a little taboo." What he meant was that Huang Chenming was also in the room, so he should be careful with his words and not let Huang Chenming get suspicious.

Suiying said carelessly, "What are you still being shy about? I think the atmosphere in this mansion has been corrupted by Huang Chenming. There's a monk living in this house, and sooner or later everyone's seven emotions and six desires will be completely cut off by him, especially the Marquis. If you continue to be with him every day, you will be extinct sooner or later."

The folding fan in Wan Lianxing's hand flew directly to Suiying, and he cursed: "I've been with you every day, and I have to die without any descendants, but don't say the word 'die without any descendants' in front of me, I don't like to hear it."

Just as a few people were talking and laughing, the commander of the Fengying, Sha Guanghan, strode in. This commander, who now had only 3,500 soldiers, still looked as aggressive and aggressive as before.

This person is no ordinary person. He would not come here easily if there is nothing going on. Once he shows up, something important must have happened.

Wan Lianxing smiled and asked, "Lao Sha, what brings you here?"

Sha Guanghan's face was solemn, and it was obvious that she had something very important to say. She looked at the people in the room, all of whom were Wan Lianxing's confidants. He didn't have anything to hide, and said in a loud voice: "My Lord, Fengying is probably going to be in trouble this time. Songchun Pass is difficult to defend, and the gate of Fengying is probably going to be opened."

"Why do you say that?"

"There must be spies from the Southern Yan Country among our people." Sha Guanghan replied in a heavy tone.

"This is not surprising. Didn't you also have spies in the southern Yan Kingdom? Did something earth-shattering happen?" Wan Lianxing asked.

"It's true that both sides have spies, but I don't have enough troops here, and the Southern Yan Kingdom has learned the true strength of our Fengying. They know that we are short of troops and food, and there is a big gap in the strength of the two sides. In the past few days, the Southern Yan Kingdom has become unusually active at the pass, and there has been constant commotion. It will soon turn into provocation and temptation. Once they find that our situation is consistent with their intelligence, then this battle is inevitable. I only have more than 3,000 people in my hands. Even if all of them are transferred to the border pass to defend it, they can't hold out for two days. To put it bluntly, if the opponent's large army attacks, my soldiers will be wiped out in just one battle." Sha Guanghan explained to Wan Lianxing with an anxious look on his face.

Wan Lianxing saw that Sha Guanghan was telling the truth, so he suggested, "We can talk but we can't just watch the Yan Kingdom from the south invade us. What are your plans, Commander Sha?"

Sha Guanghan thought about it and this was the only solution, "Please lend me some pen and paper so I can write a letter asking for reinforcements." Borrowing troops for reinforcements is a common strategy in wars. It is common for states and counties to borrow troops from each other, and it is countless for a country to use its military strength to fight a war. It is also not uncommon to borrow troops from neighboring countries to fight a war. Therefore, it is reasonable for Sha Guanghan to write a letter asking for support now.

Wars in this era are fought in close combat. Without people, there can be no war. Wars are fought with the strength of troops, which is mainly reflected in soldiers, horses, food, fodder and weapons. None of these aspects can be dispensable.

Wan Lianxing said: "Have you decided where to borrow reinforcements from?"

"Fengying is bordered by Shuangling County to the west and Qunyang County to the east. Chaizhou is just to the north of Fengying County and Qunyang County. Shuangling County, Fengying County, and Qunyang County all border the Southern Yan Kingdom, and our Fengying County borders the Southern Yan Kingdom in the largest area, so it will be difficult to defend and easy to attack if the troops are insufficient. There are mountains between Shuangling County and the Southern Yan Kingdom, so the Southern Yan Kingdom will not attack Shuangling County. However, there is also a mountain between Shuangling County and our Fengying County, so it will take a long time to borrow troops from them. By the time they come, the Southern Yan Kingdom will have already attacked our doorstep."

At this point, Sha Guanghan sighed and looked embarrassed.

Ge Dongqing said: "What about borrowing troops from Qunyang County? They have more soldiers."

Sha Guanghan said: "This is indeed a solution, but I'm afraid we can't borrow many soldiers. After all, Qunyang County borders the Southern Yan Kingdom, and we have been guarding against the invasion of the Southern Yan Kingdom for so many years. They can't withdraw too many troops to support our Fengying County. However, the most important thing to defend is our Fengying. The loss of Fengying will be the biggest threat to the entire Dalang Kingdom."
