Chapter 42 Tang Lan's Return
"Jie~~Jie~~!" Juechen's riding was as fast as lightning, causing countless dust.
Qianliju's figure gradually approached Yan'an City. At this time, Yan'an City had entered a first-level alert state. The solemn expressions of the soldiers and the hidden worries made many people fall into a strange atmosphere.
Such a large formation made people panic, as if the sky was about to collapse.
If the news of the war was well controlled, it might have been hidden for a while, but I don’t know who leaked it. Now the people in Yan’an City have learned about this news. Except for the Yan Medicine Guild and the Yanshi Guild, other forces have evacuated the city one after another.
The Yan Medicine Guild and the Yanshi Guild, with the energy of these two guilds, are naturally not afraid of war. After all, no country in history dares to provoke these two guilds during the war.
Qianliju quickly arrived at the city gate. The two soldiers guarding the gate quickly pulled out their swords and shouted loudly: "Stop..." but before they finished speaking, they stopped and retreated faster.
The Qianlimao still maintained its sprint speed and ran towards the city at a high speed.
"It's the big prince! The big prince is back! We are saved, and the big prince will definitely beat the villains away!"
"Hurry up and don't affect the eldest prince's return to the palace!"
"Your Highness, you must save us!"
The people seemed to have grabbed the straw that saved their lives and shouted, "In their hearts, the eldest prince is a god, even in the rumors, the eldest prince's crystal core talent was not even qualified to enter the Yanli War Demon Academy to practice.
All is because the eldest prince has done too much for them. In this life, except the eldest prince, they no longer believe that anyone can lead them out of this predicament.
The reason why the people can recognize Tang Lan is because Tang Lan has returned to her original appearance on the way.
Listening to the shouts around, Tang Lanshen felt that the people were kind, and the people of the prosperous Tang Dynasty were even more kind.
Although he knew that the great prince mentioned by the people was not him, he secretly swore in his heart that even if he revealed his trump card, he would save these lovely people, even though... he was not a great person, and he did not have the leisure to act as a savior.
This is just a responsibility. A man must take responsibility. Since the people put all their hopes on themselves, then what should they do for them.
His eyes were a little wet, but the speed of Qianliju was not reduced at all. On a wide street where the people automatically moved away, its figure gradually shrank, and eventually turned into black spots and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Great Prince, has returned to the palace and is coming here!" Outside the hall of the meeting, a soldier hurriedly ran into the hall, knelt on one knee and said loudly.
"I understand, you can retreat first!" Tang Zhentian said lightly.
Even at this time, as the king of a country, he cannot lose his composure. Once he shows a retreating mood, the entire prosperous Tang Dynasty will develop a mentality of losing. This is absolutely impossible.
"Father, I heard that the Xiayue Dynasty has had some abnormal movements. Can you tell me in detail?" A faint voice and a slightly arrogant tone. Only Tang Lan has the courage to say this.
"Bold! How dare you call yourself 'I'm a Young Master' in front of Your Majesty!" This sentence was of course said by the father-in-law Nalan Shiyu. He was Tang Yu's grandfather, and Tang Yu was the second prince of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He naturally hoped that his grandson could inherit the throne in the future, so Tang Lan became his primary enemy.
"Young Master is talking to your father. When is it your turn to interrupt?" Tang Lan glanced at Nalan Shiyu lightly and said with extreme disdain.
"you!"
"Stop it! Now that the national crisis is in the face of the country, what's the point of being so noisy?" Tang Zhentian looked at Nalan Shiyu in displeasure, but he had no intention of blaming Tang Lan. No one could guess the king's thoughts. "Lan'er, the army of the Xiayue Dynasty has now begun and is expected to enter the Qingshui Bay border of our prosperous Tang Kingdom within three days."
"How many troops are the opponent? How many strength distribution is? Why do they suddenly send troops?" Tang Lan asked the most critical question directly. He already had some immature plans in his mind, waiting to be gradually improved.
"The other party divided into three groups. Prince Ankang led a regular army of 300,000 to Qingshuiwan. In addition, General Lan of the Lan family led 100,000 Lan family's army to attack Liangguan Town in northern my country. Finally, the national protection master Miaomiaozi led a 100,000 elite guards to attack from Wangqing Town." Tang Zhentian recalled carefully, "The three-star flame deacon masters are about 10,000, four-star flame helmsman masters are 10, and five-star flame masters are three, namely Prince Ankang, national protection masters and General Lan He."
"As for why they suddenly sent troops... I have no way to know." Tang Zhentian rubbed his temples. He was very happy to see the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but he did not expect that the Xiayue Dynasty would send troops to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. His originally happy mood disappeared, and replaced by a heavy feeling.
Frowning, Tang Lan said thoughtfully: "Can your news be accurate?"
Tang Zhentian was still quite confident about his intelligence personnel and said, "Eight out of ten!" Although he didn't say enough, he could still see that he was very confident in the news.
Tang Lan lowered her head and thought, the Xiayue Dynasty sent 410,000 troops, and even the elite guards joined the war. This battle was difficult to fight! The Tang Dynasty had a total of 300,000 troops. Although all the troops were controlled by Tang Zhentian because of the death of the national army, they still lost more than they won when facing the Xiayue Dynasty.
The comparison between forces, the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty had no advantage at all, and the comparison between the top strong men was even worse. After all, although the Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty had a fifth-level Tang Wei, the fifth-level master of the Five-Star Yan Hall, was in charge, the other party dispatched three at one time!
If grandpa Chen Xingjian is still there, it is naturally no big deal. But at this moment, Chen Xingjian himself is in danger, and the subordinates of the national master were also killed by Chen Xingjian before leaving. There is no other powerful Five-Star Flame Helm Master in Yan'an City.
Even Yan'an City cannot be found, so other cities cannot be found.
From troops to top strong men, the Kingdom of the prosperous Tang Dynasty did not have an advantage in any aspect.
"However, sometimes, it's not just the number and strength that can determine the outcome of the war!" Tang Lan suddenly laughed in her heart, "Zhuge Kongming predicted things like a god back then. He defeated the many with few and fought against the masses many times. He used various strategies to be so sophisticated. Now, Tang Lan, I, may not be as good as him, but it's not too much worse than him, right?"
"There is no such opportunity on earth. I didn't expect to come to the Yanlong Continent, but I gave me such a good opportunity. If I don't grasp it well, it would be a waste. Sun Tzu's Art of War in my mind finally has a place to use it!" Tang Lan's mouth slightly raised, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Father, I hope to get a position in the army! I want to participate in this war in person!" Tang Lan said in such a serious tone for the first time.
Tang Zhentian nodded and said, "I allow you to join the war, but you must agree to a condition!"
Tang Lan did not ask, but waited quietly for the following.
"You can't fight with the soldiers, you can only command in the battalion at most! That is to say, you must ensure that you are in a safe place at any time." Tang Zhentian looked at Tang Lan equally seriously, "Even if, even if my prosperous Tang Kingdom is destroyed, you cannot be injured!"
This extremely meaningful sentence surprised the ministers around him. Why can't this kid be injured? Why did His Majesty favor His Highness so much since he was a child? Haven't he seen him favor His Highness so much? Is there anything different from His Highness the Second Highness?
