Chapter 2613 Return
“After her sacrifice, Menban didn’t speak for a whole month. When he returned to Panlong City, he sat in the tavern she frequented and got completely drunk. As you know, Liutiao could hold his liquor much better than him and used to always make fun of him.” Hu Min cleared his throat with difficulty before continuing, “We all miss her very much.”
Willow is cheerful, intelligent, and generous, and is infinitely loyal to Panlong City.
He Lingchuan rode his horse at full gallop, and even during wartime, the roads were still bustling with merchants and travelers.
The city is still breathing, and everyone is still struggling for a living and fighting for the war.
“And Du Xing, Wang Chongbo, Xu Lishan…” Hu Min read out seven or eight names in a row. Some were promising talents that He Lingchuan had previously favored, while others were outstanding young generals from other legions. “They all sacrificed their lives.”
The vitality of this land and the continuation of this nation could only be achieved through the bloodshed and sacrifice of such outstanding soldiers.
War is a massive farewell.
The sacrifice of every outstanding soldier leaves an indelible wound on this city.
"Don't worry, Liu Tiao and the others' blood will not be shed in vain." He Lingchuan patted Hu Min's shoulder heavily, then shook him twice, just like many, many years ago when they had just finished a mission as a team. "I'm back. Our revenge is just beginning! We will make Bega pay the price."
General Tiger Wing has never broken a promise before.
"Mmm!" Hu Min's eyes welled up with tears, and he blinked hard twice.
General Tigerwing has returned. The Imperial Twins are about to be reinstated and will once again lead them in the battle for Panlong!
The two walked out of the south gate of Panlong City, jumped on their mounts, and galloped towards the Tiger Wing Army's camp.
……
In the main tent of the Tiger Wing Army camp, the generals were discussing military matters around a sand table.
Sha Wei snorted: "I'm telling you, Xu Zhiyu can't hold Fulugou."
The door panel said, "He fought very well in the past few battles. Our general used to say that a scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation. Don't look at Xu Zhiyu with old eyes."
"Don't you also call Xu Zhiyu by his full name?" Sha Wei chuckled. "You look down on him too."
As soon as the door panel opened its mouth, the skinny guy quickly stepped in to change the subject and smooth things over:
"Hey, you guys are saying that the fact that we've been recalled from all over and reunited here means that the higher-ups are going to reorganize the Tiger Wing Army?"
In the past few years, the Tiger Wing Army has also been broken up and incorporated into other armies.
But in the past two weeks, members of the Tiger Wing Army have been successively recalled from various places, even from the battlefield, and gathered in the suburbs of Panlong City. Everyone was puzzled and couldn't help but speculate.
"If we're all gathered together, who will lead us?" Sha Wei asked hopefully. "Could it be General Red?"
In his heart, besides General Hu Yi, only General Hong was worthy of being the leader of the Hu Yi Army.
"General Hong has the Great Wind Army under his command, and they can't even manage their own affairs, let alone us?"
"That's hard to say. The Dafeng Army has also suffered heavy losses over the past year or so, and they might have to bring us in to fill the gaps."
Sha Wei's words silenced everyone.
The skinny man looked at the door panel: "Didn't you go into the city with Hu Min earlier? What news came from above?"
"You'll find out when Hu Min comes back." The door panel gestured with his hand in front of his mouth. "Military orders are absolute."
He couldn't speak because the military orders forbade him to.
The high shaman's attempt to awaken General Tiger Wing may fail. Therefore, it should not be revealed to the army in advance.
Everyone was itching to know: "Is it good news or bad news?"
"We've taken on so many bad things, surely we should get some good news?"
"Great news, fantastic news!" The door panel's mouth stretched almost to the back of its ears, and it couldn't help but say, "It's unbelievable good news for you all."
incredible?
"Could it be that our general has woken up?" Sha Wei said with a self-deprecating laugh. "Besides this, there's no one else who can be considered a good match."
Another general, Zhuang Yinan, laughed and said, "You're wrong. It's good news for you that you're not being transferred to Xu Zhiyu's command."
Sha Wei rolled her eyes.
Just then, the curtain was lifted, and Hu Min walked in.
The generals immediately asked, "What happened? The door panel said..."
They didn't ask any further questions because another person followed Hu Min in and casually lifted his cloak!
The lively main tent immediately fell silent. Incredulity filled everyone's face.
The man laughed and said, "What, did the cat steal your tongue?"
"General He!" Sha Wei was overjoyed and rushed to him. Suddenly, she didn't know what to do and knelt down on one knee with a thud. "You're awake!"
The generals cheered and rushed forward, kneeling in a circle. Several of these tough men had tears in their eyes.
The wonderful thing they had been dreaming of day and night has finally come true!
He Lingchuan was also filled with mixed feelings, but he teased them, "Aren't you all eloquent? Why don't you say a few nice words?"
The generals offered their congratulations, and Zhuang Yinan, his face flushed, finally managed to say after a long pause, "Congratulations, General He, may you be safe and sound and live a long and healthy life!"
The tent fell silent again, and then everyone couldn't help but laugh.
That smile immediately eased the tension.
He Lingchuan then ordered everyone to stand up, and his smile vanished:
"The news of my awakening must be kept secret until the Tiger Wing Army leaves Panlong City. Anyone who lets it slip beforehand will be court-martialed! Do you all understand?"
The generals replied in unison, "Understood!"
He Lingchuan's gaze swept across their faces one by one, and he realized that nearly half of the backbone of his army had been lost, so he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
These were all good generals he had carefully selected and personally promoted, but they were crushed to death in the crucible of war.
He walked to the edge of the sand table with his hands behind his back: "Now, tell me about the background of the battle and the situation on the front lines."
"Yes." Hu Min walked over and first explained the background of the war.
General Tiger Wing slept for five years. In the first three years, although there were some frictions between Panlong and Bega, the intensity of the struggle was generally under control.
On one hand, after Panlong swallowed the old territory of Xiluo, it bordered Beijia. Zhong Shengguang adjusted his strategy, intentionally downplaying the conflict. This was not because he abandoned his vision of fighting against the Heavenly Demon, but because he wanted to control the intensity of the conflict between the two sides, giving Panlong more time to develop and grow stronger.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been continuously increasing. Although it is not as explosive as the reality where He Lingchuan is, the fact remains that the Panlong is getting stronger every day.
On the other hand, the Panlong system was severely unsuited to the local conditions when it was implemented in the old Xiluo region.
From the Panlong Wasteland to the Maohe Plain, Zhong Shengguang's political and economic methods proved effective. However, in the old Xiluo region, the common people found it difficult to adapt to Panlong's highly militarized management system, leading to frequent conflicts.
Therefore, occupying the old Xiluo territory will not only fail to benefit Panlong in the short term, but will also consume a lot of its energy, resources, and finances, and may even require the mobilization of troops to suppress the uprising.
Upon hearing this, He Lingchuan asked, "Why does Xiluo refuse to submit to Panlong?"
