"Tianbao, what do you think about this?"

"Dad, children don't dare to discuss such important military matters."

"What are you talking about? I called everyone here today just to discuss this matter. You are now a marching commander, and it is your duty to discuss military affairs. If you have any ideas, just speak up."

"Uh... I still want to rescue Dongzhou."

"Oh, tell me what you really think."

"Although there was some grudge between the first senior brother and us, we did not fall out in the end. It was thanks to his help that the second senior brother and I were able to escape from the capital. Now we can't explain it without mercy, even if we let him die.

It would not be good for all the heroes and comrades in the world to see us. They will think that we are too selfish and cruel, which will be detrimental to dad's future achievements."

"Secondly, although the rebels have been repelled by us, their vitality is still intact. If we just stick to it, we will not be able to guarantee that they will not come back after they recover. It is better to take this opportunity to march into Dongzhou. First, it can attract the attention of the rebels. Secondly,

If Senior Brother's team can be preserved, it can become a barrier between us and the rebels in the future, which will be good for us in the long run."

Lin Yunfei nodded after hearing this, then turned to everyone and said, "What do you think of Tianbao?"

Everyone discussed for a while, and most people still agreed. Even the few who disagreed just kept silent and did not openly oppose it.

"Okay, in that case, according to Tianbao's wishes, I will send Congyun and the others back to the west to rescue Dongzhou!"

After the matter was discussed, everyone went back to work and prepared for the subsequent war. A few days later, Li Congyun came back with his troops. Lin Yunfei first asked them to camp outside the city to rest, and at the same time reorganized with the troops he brought.

, and another meeting was convened with Li Congyun and the generals to discuss the specific westward march strategy.

Li Congyun himself also agreed to march westward to rescue Dongzhou, feeling that this move would be strategically beneficial to his side. However, he did not advocate directly entering Dongzhou to reinforce Xiahou Suiliang, believing that it would inevitably lead to a head-on confrontation with the main force of the rebels. The pressure would be too great, so it would be better to attack directly

In Hezhou, which is close to Dongzhou, we cut off the supplies of the rebels. This way, we can save Dongzhou and reduce the pressure on our own side.

Yu Feng, Wei Cheng and others all used to serve in the Hezhou Army and were very familiar with the local situation. After their introduction, everyone felt that this plan was feasible, so Lin Yunfei finally decided to send 3,000 troops to attack Hezhou to cut off the rebels.

After discussing the supply line, Lin Yunfei deliberately left Luo Tianbao behind, and the father and son had a secret conversation.

"Tianbao, who do you think is the right person to send to the Western Expedition this time?"

"Isn't he General Li? Dad, isn't it just for this reason that you brought him back?"

"Yes, he will definitely play the leading role in this Western Expedition, but the coach, as a father, has other ideas."

"Second senior brother? He is at odds with his senior brother. He may not be happy if you send him there. Besides, he is currently dealing with the rebels in the north and cannot get away for a while, right?"

"not him."

"That's the third senior brother? He is from the Xiyan royal family. He is better at marching and fighting than the rest of us, so sending him there is enough to do the job."

"No, Changfeng is currently helping your second mother to guard Jizhou. It's our home base. It's very important and we can't live without it for a while."

"This... I can't think of it at the moment. There are only so many of us here who can stand alone."

When Lin Yunfei heard this, he came closer to his son and whispered: "Tianbao, my father plans to let you be the head coach of the Western Expedition this time."

"Me? This can't be done, it can't be done." Luo Tianbao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he couldn't help but wave his hands.

"Why?" Lin Yunfei asked.

"Dad, it's not like you don't know. My son has never led soldiers. It's okay to ask me to help others. I'm afraid it's hard for me to lead soldiers directly."

"You kid are too humble. Didn't you fight brilliantly in the battle to conquer Yichang? Baida, Congyun and the others privately admire you very much."

"That's what a blind cat can do to kill a mouse."

"Hey, how many people in this world are born to lead troops? Aren't they all trained slowly? Tianbao, daddy is getting old. This position will be yours sooner or later in the future. If you don't hone more now,

How can dad rest assured that you will take over from me in the future? Besides, our father and son said privately that Li Congyun is a subordinated general after all. Now that we are fighting smoothly, he may not have any second thoughts. Who knows if the battle goes badly in the future?

Believe it or not, the reason why I sent you as the coach this time is to keep an eye on him. At the moment, other than you, no one else may be able to keep him under control."

Hearing this, Luo Tianbao couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He secretly thought that his father was still thinking long-term, but he was still a little embarrassed: "It's just that I have never taken care of so many people. I'm afraid that if I lose the battle, I won't be able to do anything to you and dad.

A group of soldiers cannot live together."

Lin Yunfei heard this and patted Luo Tianbao on the shoulder: "Don't worry about these children. When we reach the front enemy, just take charge of the overall situation. Just leave the detailed work to Li Congyun and the others. We can still pick out a few in the army who are better than him."

Can he lead troops? If he can't win, it's the same as sending others. If it doesn't work, son, just insist on not seeking merit, but seeking no faults. As long as the three thousand troops are not wiped out, you will be worthy of your father.

.”

When Luo Tianbao heard that his father had said this, it would be too unpromising to refuse to agree, so he nodded and said: "In this case, I will do my best."

"Hey, this is like my son. In this way, there are still two days before the army is launched. You should deal with the matters at hand first. If you have any difficulties, just ask dad, me, or Pan Hong and the others."

"My child understands."

In this way, the father and son chatted for a while, and Luo Tianbao resigned. When he returned to his residence, Luo Tianbao was packing his bags and thinking about leading the army this time. In his heart, he also wanted to make contributions, but he was afraid that he would

Things have been messed up. It seems that if it really doesn't work, we should ask Li Congyun, Yu Feng and others for more advice.

Luo Tianbao was thinking about this when suddenly a soldier came to him and told him that someone was looking for him outside, saying they were two teenagers, a boy and a girl. Luo Tianbao immediately guessed who the visitors were without asking, so he hurried out to receive them, and waited until they arrived at the door.

It turned out to be Kura Kiya and Qinglan.

"Why are you two running here?"

"I heard that Senior Sister is here?" Kurachya's tone was still cold, giving the impression that this young man no longer had much human emotion.

"You guys are really well informed."

"Then we can let Senior Sister go according to the agreement, right?" Qing Lan said anxiously at this time.

"Not yet."

"You want to break your promise?" Kurachya's tone suddenly revealed murderous intent.

"That's not true, it's just that the war hasn't ended yet, right? But how about I arrange for you to meet her first?"

The two young men looked at each other after hearing this, and finally Korra Killua nodded and said: "Okay."

"Haha, make it like we begged you." Luo Tianbao shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then went down to make arrangements. Lin Yunfei heard that he wanted to arrange for outsiders to see Ye Di. He hesitated at first, but then he couldn't stand Luo Tianbao's repeated pleas. He thought that his son was about to go on an expedition.
