Tidings

Jiang, Xuan and Yuan were preparing to depart, they looked at Hua Rong standing before them, Yuan had already told his mother and brother that Hua Rong had told him.

" Where are you going?" jiang asked, Hua Rong silently bowed.

" Can I come with you?" her great-grandson begged, They've said it will be dangerous and won't bear Hua Rong's safety.

" You are not responsible for saving this city, you can go wherever you want, for what harm your life follows us" Yuan said, his face pleading with Yuan, seeing that Yuan became unbearable to leave him. he then turned to his mother and brother, when he was seen by the two people had already turned his head to Yuan, he had not even said anything.

" When did Yuan's heart become soft like this?" said Xuan and Jiang in unison smiling seductively, Yuan just scratched the back of his head that was not itchy, Jiang sighed.

" Alright you can come along, after all you are the one who forced you to come along" said Jiang, Hua Rong smiled as she immediately felt happy.

" Thank you aunt, I'll help there as well." she replied happily, she then followed them towards Governor Gu's residence.

While walking Jiang told him that the war broke out already yesterday and Jiang only gave a little advice on war strategy and it worked, so governor Gu asked Jiang to become a strategist, at first Jiang refused and thought about it later so he had already decided because his son supported there was no reason for Jiang to avoid him.

When Governor Gu got to the residence, Governor Gu had been waiting for a long time, when he saw Jiang he rushed over to Jiang.

" Healer Shi, why did it take so long, I thought you were going to leave us? I don't know, now that the enemy army is on the move, come on..." He then rushed to the fortress followed by Jiang, Xuan, Yuan and Hua Rong.

Jiang saw a large army heading to the temple from afar, anyone would shiver at the sight of the large army, they did not playfully direct the troops, in an instant 3 territories were overrun, he said, now only the city of Nanzhao still survives, if this region is also captured then the enemy forces will enter the territory of the Qing kingdom, because only the path of their Nanzhao can enter the Qing kingdom.

" How many troops do we have?" ask Xuan.

" There were only 5,000 troops, because the other troops were guarding different lines, south of which there was a passable path but there was a great river there as a barrier, and there was a great river, if the dry season then the river is dry and that's the most worrying thing, they can break through that path, but now it's summer and the river is a little dry" he explained. Xuan nodded as Jiang turned to him.

" Do you believe me?" ask Jiang.

" Of course, because I've seen your success" he replied firmly.

" Then believe in my son." said Jiang, Governor Gu hesitated upon hearing that but right now he also has no other choice.

" Okay." she replied at last.

" I'll help the wounded soldiers." Governor Gu nodded, Jiang then left followed by Hua Rong, Xuan and Yuan looked at the large army.

" Governor Gu, how many generals do you have?"

" 3 generals trained."

" That's enough plus Yuan." he replied.

the two warriors brought the armor of war to Xuan and Yuan.

" We welcome them." Xuan said, he led the army, he was indeed a squad of 4 groups, Yuan led the troops outside the fortress, one army left and right of the fortress, namely the northwestern and northeastern regions, the rest of the fort defending the fort. Xuan had already outlined what strategy he was using.

The enemy was near, Xuan who led Yuan waiting for orders, as feeling the winning number of enemies did not predict and attacked blindly as they were within firing range they were showered with arrows, darting them, after stopping the rain of arrows, Yuan invaded, war broke out, and attacked each other, the clinking of the sword that clenched the ears that heard it, the sea of humans fought, the enemy troops won the number making Yuan troops desperate.

Seeing that Xuan ordered to send out smoke signals and drumbeats were anchored which meant asking for reinforcements, he said, hearing that the enemy troops were panicking because of the smoke signals northeast and northwest were doing the same and flags were fluttering, on seeing that the enemy troops retreated because they thought that they would be surrounded because the aid forces were forbidden. Xuan looked at the enemy troops who were running down the ridge, the soldiers cheering happily for winning the war.

Everyone thought that they would not survive until now but after what happened today raised the spirit of the troops, Xuan sighed, Yuan stood beside him.

" When the river is full, the water is dammed, during the dry season they will think that the water is dry, when they pass by then release the dam..."

" I understand." replied Yuan.

Xuan again followed Yuan behind him, they met Governor Gu who was waiting for them and greeted them, the governor was so happy that they won the war, before long Jiang came with Hua Rong.

" When will the relief forces arrive?" jiang asked, they all sat in a circle at a long table.

" I got word that the relief force is on its way here, if it doesn't miscalculate then about a month we have to hold on." Xuan was speechless, Governor Gu reprimanded.

" What's up? did something happen?" ask governor Gu.

" They're not stupid, it's impossible the second time they can be tricked." Xuan replied.

" you mean?" ask Governor Gu.

" What about food supplies?"

" It can last that long." replied Governor Gu.

" We're limited while the enemy keeps attacking, I'm afraid we won't be able to last long" Yuan said.

" Didn't you have faith in your brother, Yuan?" ask Jiang.

" I believe that's why I'm still sitting here, mother..."

" Don't worry, until the end point we won't back down, we've chosen our path, won't regret it" Xuan said.

The war continued, until the news of Nanzhao's nearly impossible defense of survival reached Zhang Han's ears. Wei Chan received the report after the sender of the messenger, he got a lot of bad news, he, but he did not expect that Nanzhao city could still survive making him wonder who the strong person who was able to withstand the army that attacked them, was, though he received news that about the attack almost amounted to 30,000 soldiers while the soldiers guarding the border only ranged from 10,000-15000 only.

As per Zhang Han's orders, Wei Chan made Zhang Han a deputy general in front of the relief soldiers so that he could freely inform him about the war. Not many people could recognize Zhang Han as their Emperor.

" Your highness." Wei Chan rebuked Zhang Han who was daydreaming looking at the scattered paper and the royal map above him.he turned his head as Wei Chan called out to him.they rested and camped, they camped, it would take another 1 week for them to reach the border of Nanzhao and they always got news of the victory of Nanzhao town.

" Nanzhao Town? who's governor?" ask Zhang Han.

" I heard that Gu Linjiang was named, but the reputation he has now I've never heard that he was such a war strategist, could anyone else work under his orders?"

" If there really is, then that person deserves to be rewarded and if indeed their abilities are outstanding, I will make him a royal official" Zhang Han replied.

" Right, such intelligence cannot be wasted."

Suddenly like a soldier running into the tent while shouting 'report', Wei Chan immediately came out to meet him because he was the messenger.

after he handed the message to Zhang Han, Zhang Han raised his eyebrows by looking at the letter after reading it.

" The victory came about because of the two intelligent twin youths, Xi Xuan as their general leader and strategist while Xi Yuan as the powerful general who led the invading army, was the leader, this was Nanzhao's fortune." he handed over the letter to Wei Chan himself.

" I became curious as to what kind of twin youths who were only 17 years old but had knowledge that only nobles learned?" granny Zhang Han looked back at the royal map.
