"General, you are here like this-" Mingyang, who had a haggard face, was shocked to see Lin Chuan coming in person, and hurriedly greeted him.

"I heard that Zhao Feng led his troops to take a small road and kill here. What's the situation now?" Lin Chuan asked when he saw Mingyang, who was covered in dirty military uniforms.

"Oh--" Mingyang sighed heavily: "The general was incompetent and did not protect the people well. He let Zhao Feng take advantage of the loopholes. Thousands of people have already encountered evil actions. Please punish the general." Mingyang said as he knelt down on the ground with remorse.

In the past few days, he brought only a small number of troops to fight the dynasty army led by Zhao Feng. Although Mingyang had outstanding command capabilities, it was hard to cook without rice. Facing the 30,000 enemy troops, his troops were in short supply and could not resist Zhao Feng's fierce offensive.

Lin Chuan hurriedly helped Mingyang up. Mingyang was responsible for protecting millions of people's transfers. He was under great pressure on his shoulders. Facing Zhao Feng's aggressive troops, he had done his best to be able to hold them back to transfer the people. Of course, Lin Chuan would not blame him.

"Zhao Feng is cruel and ruthless. You don't have to blame yourself. If you want to calculate this account, it will be counted on Zhao Feng." Lin Chuan comforted Mingyang.

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, a warm current flowed through Mingyang, who had been busy these days. He was a corps to protect the safe transfer of millions of people. He had really tried his best. Facing the sudden attack on Zhao Feng's troops, he led a flag battalion of 3,000 people and Zhao Feng's troops to fight for three days, and he was almost dead on the spot.

"Where are the people led by Zhao Feng now?" Lin Chuan asked.

Mingyang hurriedly replied when he heard Lin Chuan's question: "It's less than twenty miles away from us. I'm going to stop them in this area. If they are asked to rush over, more than 200,000 people behind us will be cut off and they must be blocked."

Lin Chuan then noticed that Mingyang had gathered thousands of young men not far away. The three thousand soldiers under Mingyang had exhausted them when they blocked Zhao Feng's troops. Now Mingyang has to summon young men to resist.

Lin Chuan led 10,000 Nanchuan militias to Mingyang camp. He did not care about rest and immediately sent scouts to collect intelligence and prepared to launch a counterattack against Zhao Feng's troops.

After nightfall, the scouts sent out returned one after another and brought the latest news back. Lin Chuan also had a general understanding of Zhao Feng's troops under his command.

There were 30,000 soldiers under Zhao Feng's command who were armed to the teeth. These people were once bandits and bandits, and they were all cruel and ruthless. Now Lin Chuan has only 10,000 newly formed militia flag regiments. These civilians who were still holding hoes a few days ago could not fight against the fierce army under Zhao Feng's command in terms of combat power or number. Lin Chuan frowned tightly and thought about a strategy to break the enemy.

Commander Mingyang has fought with Zhao Feng's troops in the past few days, and is well aware of the strength of the enemy. These former bandits are not only well-equipped but also bloodthirsty and easy to kill. Under Zhao Feng's leadership, they are like a group of bloodthirsty beasts, and the troops in Mingyang's hands suffer great losses.

"General, should you give up the 200,000 civilians behind?" Thinking about the strategy of defeating the enemy was fruitless, General Mingyang proposed.

Lin Chuan shook his head: "No matter what, we cannot give up any civilians. It is our duty as soldiers to protect them."

Mingyang sighed. Lin Chuan was good at everything, but his only disadvantage was that he was too soft-hearted and could not bear to see the people under his control being slaughtered by the enemy.

"Report——" Suddenly, the voice of the guards came from outside the military tent.

"Come in." Lin Chuan, who was frowning, raised his head and looked at the military gate, and spoke.

Li Qiye, the leader of the guards, walked in quickly and saluted Lin Chuan and Mingyang and said, "General, Captain Xue Wenxue of the propaganda team wants to see you."

"Xue Wen?" Lin Chuan's brows stretched out. The literati who he saved from the slave trader has now become the head of the propaganda team under the command of the chief of staff, Li Yunshan. I remember that when Lin Chuan was assassinated in the Qingmuchuan Tavern, Xue Wen fought to protect him, so Lin Chuan still had a good impression of the loyal Xue Wen.

"Let him come in." Lin Chuan spoke.

Soon, the dusty Xue Wen walked into the military tent under the leadership of Li Qiye. Seeing Lin Chuan sitting in the first place, Xue Wen hurried forward to get luggage.

Xue Wen was a scholar in the Far East. Later, he fell into the hands of a slave trader and was sold back. Originally, Xue Wen had lost hope for life, but Lin Chuan gave him a new life. Now when he heard that Lin Chuan had arrived here, he hurried to pay a visit.

"Mr. Xue, is the propaganda team still adapting now?" Lin Chuan asked with concern when he saw Xue Wen covered in dust.

"Thank you for your concern, you're still used to everything." Xue Wen bowed slightly. After half a month of recuperation, he had already had a trace of arise on his face, but he still looked skinny.

"Well, now our army lacks people who can read and write, how hard will you have to work hard in the future."

"I should repay the general's grace to save his life with a spring. Even if I, Xue Wen, have to complete the things I ordered, will do."

Seeing that Xue Wen was getting more and more outrageous and he wanted to show his loyalty again, Lin Chuan changed the topic at the right time: "Mr. Xue, what difficulties did he encounter, need my help?"

Xue Wen shook his head: "The work of the propaganda team is simple and easy. Now, according to the arrangement of the chief of staff, we have set up various slogans along the way, and we have penetrated into the people to promote it. Now everything goes well and there is no difficulty."

"Oh? Then I wonder what Mr. Xue is asking me for?" Although Lin Chuan respects scholars very much, the enemy is approaching, so he has no intention of talking about poetry and music with Xue Wen here.

"I heard that the troops of the Dynasty army are approaching. Can the general have a plan to defeat the enemy?" Xue Wen said when he heard the impatient feeling in Lin Chuan's tone.

Lin Chuan frowned after hearing Xue Wen's words. Now that Zhao Feng's troops are attacking, they have not announced it in order not to panic the retreating people. Xue Wen is only a propaganda team, so how does this military secret know? Lin Chuan turned his head over and looked at Mingyang.

Mingyang shrugged and said that he had not disclosed military secrets.

"General, it's not that I can inquire, but that I just heard it by chance from the returning soldiers, and asked the general to atone for his sins." Xue Wen saw the change in Lin Chuan's face and hurriedly apologized.

Lin Chuan suddenly thought that when he first met Xue Wen, he had extraordinary insight and observation skills, and he felt relieved.

"Indeed, the 30,000 people led by Zhao Feng have come here, so we have no plan to defeat the enemy so far." Lin Chuan replied.

Hearing Lin Chuan's answer, Xue Wen showed such an expression. He stepped forward and bowed and said, "Xue Wen is not talented, and is willing to give advice to the general. Here is a plan to defeat the enemy, so please consider it."

"Mr. Xue, marching and fighting is not a joke, it is related to the life and death of thousands of people. Although I admit that you have done a good job in publicity, we have to do this war." Before Lin Chuan could speak, Lei Shao, the commander of the Guards camp, had already spoken, and his contempt for Xue Wen was obvious.

Xue Wen smiled slightly when he heard the contempt in Thunderstorm's words, but turned to Lin Chuan and said, "If the general thinks so, Xue Wen will have no complaints. Now I will go back to the propaganda team to continue to promote the proposition of our Nanchuan Army and recruit more soldiers for the general."

Seeing that Xue Wen seemed confident, Lin Chuan waved his hand and smiled: "Mr. Xue, it's okay. If you can really defeat the enemy, then I will remember you a merit."
