Chapter 311 Sauvignon Blanc 68
Ling Xi looked at everyone with a serious expression and distributed orders carefully one by one.

"I will be in charge of the army during this battle against Xi Yan, but I will not take action easily. Therefore, this is your chance to show your skills."

"Rushou, this time when we fight against Xiyan, you will be the main general and command the entire army, and Anian and Yiying will be the deputy generals and be responsible for assisting you."

"Yiying, the Archery Battalion, which has been training for many years, can now show its strength. This time, we must let Xiyan see their power."

"Shuhui, you are responsible for the dispatch of food and medicine. You must ensure the supply in the rear."

Rushou: "I obey your orders."

Yiying: "I obey your command."

Shuhui: "I obey your command."

Ruoshou and his companions were ready to go. They had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and had made many preparations. This time, they would definitely be able to take down Xiyan.

"Also, seal all of Tushan's shops in Haoling for me. Don't they provide food and grass for Xiyan? Then let's see how they can continue to provide food and grass for Xiyan without their shops."

Ling Xi tapped the table lightly and said these sinister words seriously, without taking Tushan's situation into consideration at all.

Tushan's business spread all over the Great Wilderness, and Haoling's commerce was well developed, so Tushan's shop in Haoling accounted for almost half of the business.

If all the shops in Haoling were closed, Tushan's business would be reduced by at least half.

By then, we will see whether they still have the strength to provide food and fodder for Xiyan’s army of hundreds of thousands for several years, ten years or even decades.

Even if she had to wait for them to die, she could starve them to death.

The corners of the mouths of everyone who heard her words twitched, and they looked speechless.

They knew that His Highness had a very dark heart.

They like it this way, though.

"Yes." Everyone bowed and accepted the order.

When everyone had left, only Ling Xi and King Hao Ling, father and daughter, were left in the hall.

King Hao Ling looked at Ling Xi's high-spirited and motivated appearance, and felt very proud.

There is no emperor who does not want to unify the wilderness, it just depends on whether they have that idea.

King Xiyan once had this idea, but he was already very old and no longer had the ambition.

He had this idea before, but never put it into action.

Now, the emperor who will unify the Great Wilderness will be born between the grandson of King Xiyan and his daughter.

It was ultimately a confrontation between Hao Ling and Xi Yan.

In the tide of history, things that are divided for a long time will eventually reunite, and things that are reunified for a long time will eventually divide. The Great Wilderness has been divided for a long time, and it is time to unify again.

And he was confident that his daughter had the ability to do all that.

King Hao Ling's eyes were gentle, showing both the expectation of being King Hao Ling and the pride of being a father. He said, "This time, your father will stay in the capital for you. The day you return triumphantly will be the day you ascend the throne."

Ling Xi's expression gradually became resolute. She stood up, clasped her fists towards King Hao Ling, and said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "Please rest assured, father."

The 150,000 soldiers of Haoling and the 300,000 soldiers of Xiyan were all deadlocked at the Haoling border.

The King of Xiyan and the Young Lord Haoling were in charge of their respective armies. The chief general of Xiyan was Chishui Fenglong, the young lord of the Chishui clan, and the chief general of Haoling was Rushou, a senior official of Xiyan. Both armies were led by young men, and they did not know each other's strength very well. The outcome of this battle was still unknown.

In the Xiyan camp, Xuan and Fenglong sat in front of the map and sand table. They were both surprised at Xiyan's defeat in the first battle, especially Xuan, who could hardly hide his astonishment.

Xuan has lived in Haoling for hundreds of years. He has measured every inch of land in Haoling and has a thorough understanding of Haoling.

He thought that this first battle would be an easy win and never expected to end up in defeat.

What surprised him even more was the fighting power of Hao Ling's army.

The combat effectiveness of Xiyan’s army has always been strong. Since the founding of Xiyan, it has been fighting on the battlefield and has been tempered for thousands of years. It is as ferocious as tigers and wolves, and as firm as rocks.

But Hao Ling has not experienced war for tens of thousands of years. The government is stable and the people are harmonious. The people are prosperous and everyone is happy.

The Hao Ling army has become a sword without a sharp edge, no longer having its former sharpness. Even if Hao Lingxi wants to make changes to the army, there will not be much effect in a short period of time.

After all, it is difficult to reverse a situation that has been bad for a long time, and long-term illness cannot be cured immediately. This is something that Xuan, who was just promoted to the position of King of Xiyan, had a deep understanding of.

However, the combat effectiveness displayed by the Haoling Army this time was far beyond his expectations.

Feng Long looked at Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, Chishuixian was defeated in this battle. This is my fault. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Xuan shook his head. He was not discouraged at all after losing the battle. He said, "We underestimated Hao Ling this time. I didn't expect that the fighting power of Hao Ling's soldiers would be so strong."

Feng Long said, "Your Majesty, I have known about the actions of Hao Ling Shao Jun. As she holds the power of Hao Ling, it is impossible for her not to make changes to Hao Ling's army. Therefore, it is not surprising that we do not know about it."

When mentioning Ling Xi, Feng Long could not hide his admiration in his tone.

He had faced off against Hao Lingxi in the Chishui Autumn Tournament. At that time, Shao Jun was still young, but his methods and the trust his subordinates had in him were beyond the reach of others.

Now, facing her, Feng Long really didn't have the confidence that he could defeat her.

As soon as he heard Ling Xi, Xuan fell silent.

They hadn't seen each other for decades. He was in Chenrong Mountain and she was in Wushen Mountain. There was no intersection between the two.

Xuanxuan sighed, his face solemn: "I was negligent. I relied on my previous understanding of Hao Ling, but ignored the fact that Ah Xi might be hiding something from me. She is so smart, she might have hidden a lot of things from me."

Feng Long: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Xiyan has 300,000 soldiers, but Haoling only has 150,000, which is only half of Xiyan. Our chances of winning are still very high."

However, Xuan shook his head heavily and said, "Fenglong, you still don't know Axi well enough. Even I haven't fully experienced Axi's abilities. Let alone 150,000, even if Hao Ling only had 100,000 soldiers, I wouldn't dare to guarantee that I can defeat her."

"In front of her, no one can be absolutely sure of defeating her." Xuanxuan finally summed it up with this sentence.

There were only two of them in the tent, but both of them were distracted by Ling Xi.

It should be said that he was hit hard by Ling Xi.

After being depressed for a while, Xuanxuan regained his confident look.

He is the king of Xiyan and the faith of the soldiers of Xiyan. He must have confidence so that he can inspire his soldiers.

"Feng Long, let Yu Jiang be the vanguard and lead the army to attack Hao Ling tomorrow. We must win a victory. We must win a victory." Xuan said seriously.

After losing the first battle, what the soldiers need now is a victory to boost morale.

Feng Long clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command."
