Activate the Emperor System and summon Dian Wei at the beginning of the game

Listening to the voices asking for credit for Lu Bu, Emperor Yan's lips almost twisted with a smile. My son is so brave!

Unexpectedly, in his twilight years, he would get a tiger cub.

Emperor Yan nodded happily: "Don't worry, everyone, I will reward you based on your merits."

"Fengxian, I will record today's merits for you first, and I will give you a heavy reward when you return to the court."

"Father, all the credit for this battle belongs to Commander Luo. I just happened to meet him at the right time. The soldiers were also extremely brave. I don't dare to take the lead."

"okay!"

Emperor Yan waved his hand and said angrily: "You don't have to be humble. Could it be that what the soldiers saw was all fake?"

"Someone is coming!"

"exist!"

"Pass the order, today my son has made a great contribution to my Da Yan. I will hold a banquet and I will personally celebrate the meritorious service."

"promise!"

Luo Tian's face on the side was extremely ugly. He worked hard to defend the enemy's formation, but in the end, not only was he robbed of his merits, but he also faced Emperor Yan's cold face, and even Lu Bu was acting coy.

This is simply unreasonable!

"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave first."

Luo Tian slightly cupped his hands and strode away without waiting for Emperor Yan to respond.

Emperor Yan's face darkened, he snorted coldly, and returned to the royal tent with Lu Bu.

…

Changluo.

The city gate opened wide, and Ning Fan personally welcomed the soldiers back to the city.

"Lord!"

"No gifts!"

Ning Fan smiled, looked at Xue Li and said, "How was this battle?"

"Back to my lord, Luo Tian's commanding ability is indeed extraordinary. If it weren't for General Lu's help, I'm afraid it would be really difficult for us to achieve success!"

"oh?"

Xue Li recounted what happened in today's battle to Ning Fan, and Ning Fan was also shocked.

"It makes sense."

"The Nine Guards of the Capital are already elite, and this battle is not a plain battle, so our advantage has been greatly reduced."

"How's the catch?"

"Returning to my lord, I killed more than 50,000 enemies and suffered 6,000 losses."

"The lethality of Da Yan's crossbow is extraordinary."

"Only 20,000 of my 50,000 mysterious armors were deployed in this battle. If all 50,000 mysterious armors were deployed, they might not be able to completely repel Da Yan!"

Ning Fan looked at the depressed look on Xue Li's face, shook his head and smiled: "This is the first time that my heavy cavalry, Dayu, has suffered such heavy losses. However, after today's battle, I am afraid that Dayu will have to rest for a while. "

"Go back to the city!"

When everyone returned to the city, Ning Fan convened a group of civil and military officials late at night to discuss the next strategic direction.

"Everyone."

"I decided to make a truce before the year, and launch another fierce attack on Da Yan in the spring of next year!"

Hearing Ning Fan's words, both Li Ru and Xun Yu were stunned for a moment. Wang Mang slightly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the court has run out of food and grass. If we withdraw our troops this time, the next Eastern Expedition will probably have to wait until next year's autumn harvest at least!"

"No!"

Ning Fan shook his head and said solemnly: "I can't wait any longer."

"Dayan's national power is beyond the comparison of Dayu. If it is delayed for a long time, Dayan will definitely counterattack."

"And after surviving this cold winter, I will occupy half of Da Yan's territory next year!"

"As for the food and grass, you don't need to worry, you have to worry about it yourself."

"yes……"

"Bai Qi!"

"exist!"

Bai Qi cupped his hands and walked out of the queue, looking at Ning Fan with burning eyes.

"I'll leave Changluo to you. Is one hundred thousand Qin Rui soldiers enough?"

"enough!"

"Okay, from now on, Bai Qi will guard Changluo."

"Xue Li, Xu Fengnian, you two will lead the 50,000 Xuanjia Army and the Snow Dragon Cavalry Army. They will be stationed here together. When Li Jing captures the two counties of Muye and Shanyang, you can wait for the opportunity!"

"I grant you the right to act expediently and attack and defend at will!"

"promise!"

"Ran Min, you go back to Dongyan Town to guard the city. I hope you can see a complete army of beggars in the spring next year!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Ran Min accepted the order with a deep look on his face, and said with firm eyes: "My lord, I would like to ask you for your orders. Next year, I will march eastward, and the army of beggars will be the vanguard!"

"good!"

"Wenyou, is there any news from the north?"

Ning Fan looked at Li Ru. Ever since Huo Qubing brought 100,000 Han family members to Mobei, there had been no news, and it had been half a month since there had been news about Zhao Yun and others.

Li Ru smiled and nodded, and said softly: "My Lord, General Zilong has taken down the two fortresses of Qingcheng and Beiyan City, and now Huo Shuai has returned from Mobei."

"oh?"

Ning Fan also had a bit of surprise on his face. He didn't expect Zhao Yun's progress to be so rapid. The three fortresses in the north of Dayan were the gateway to its northern border. The city was high and the pond was thick, and there were many soldiers and generals. Zhao Yun unexpectedly made such a sudden move. Eat two of them.

"How's Huo Shuai's gains?"

"My lord, Huo Shuai said that since he entered Mobei, he has been surrounded by the four major camps in Mobei. Instead of going deep, he swept through the tribes in Mobei, captured cattle, sheep, food and grass and returned south!"

"Um……"

Ning Fan nodded. He was also very relieved about Huo Qubing. After all, he was known as the fastest man in the five thousand years of Chinese history. Not to mention that he had a hundred thousand cavalry. Even if he was really surrounded by Mobei, he would definitely be able to break out of the siege. .

However, the consumption of one hundred thousand iron cavalry is an astronomical figure.

The cost of raising war horses, maintaining armor and blades, rationing soldiers, etc., is more than ten times that of an ordinary infantry. As for heavy cavalry, it is even more of a gold-swallowing beast.

With Dayu's current national strength, if it weren't for the blood transfusion from Nanman Guanshan and Donghuai, and Huainan's economy was revitalized by Ning Fan, it would have been dragged down long ago.

Even so, it was still a bit overwhelming.

"Is there any news about Dali?"

"Where is Gu Ru's Nanyan Army now?"

"My lord, their whereabouts are still unknown, but... Ximen Pass was breached three days ago."

Ning Fan frowned slightly. Although the remnants of Gu Ru's army were defeated, they were one of the main forces of Dayan after all, and Gu Ru was extremely experienced in using troops.

Now Dali is already riddled with holes. Will Zhang Han and his men make it in time?

"Send an order, Black Ice Platform closely monitors the movements of Gu Ru's army and reports to the Dali court at any time."

"Yes!"

...

Dali.

Snow Moon City.

Liu Bowen, Du Ruhui and others gathered together. Now there are three pillars in the court of Dali. Cheng Jinrong is getting old and gradually giving up power.

And Liu Ji is rising like the sun, and his authority is growing day by day. As for Du Ruhui, although he is usually humble and kind, all the civil and military officials in the court know how important this person is.

"Everyone, have you received the news?"

"Yes!"

Liu Bowen looked solemn, and said solemnly: "The West Gate Pass has been breached, and Gu Ru's army of more than 100,000 has entered the pass. Our Dali has no army stationed in the western border."

"The situation is critical!"

Cheng Jinrong looked at Liu Bowen anxiously and said: "Prime Minister Liu, why don't you send troops to resist the enemy as soon as possible?"

"No!"

Liu Bowen shook his head, his eyes complicated and said: "Our Dali has fought hard for a long time, and now there are only 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the northwest is vast and sparsely populated. Now the movement of Gu Ru's army is unknown. It is too risky to send troops rashly."
