C20 Lingyun attack

The next morning, the four great families sent people to the manor.

They had already understood Qiao Nan's attitude towards this matter. This meant that the Octoterra Academy had indeed become Qiao Nan's backer.

"Master Hou, the Ma Clan is willing to donate the Southern Hill Iron Mine."

"Master Hou, the Luo family is willing to offer up the North Mountain mine."

"The Xiao Clan offers up!"

"The Zheng Family is willing to donate."

The reason the Four Great Clans came to the Marquis of Heavenly Martial early in the morning was actually to pay their respects to Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan smiled, what was this called offering? This should be called returning to the original owner. This was originally Tianwu County's property and belonged to him, Qiao Nan.

"Young master, with these properties, it'll be much easier for us to develop in the future." Zuo Qianjun stood below and knew that the Four Great Clans had already spat out the things they had looted over for many years in the morning, so he immediately rushed over.

"Only with these businesses can we have the qualifications to establish ourselves in Tianwu County. Zuo Qianjun, increase your recruitment strength and raise the monthly salary of your soldiers to one gold coin. " If Qiao Nan wanted to completely control Sky Martial County, he had to rely on these people.

In order to attract more people to join the army, Qiao Nan had raised his military expenditure by ten times. In the past, a person would only get ten silver coins a month.

This means that doing one month now is equivalent to the previous year's income. Now that Qiao Nan had all of these properties, being rich and imposing, naturally, he would be able to afford it.

Wealth. Only by using wealth could one be considered to be true wealth.

"Yes." Zuo Qianjun replied excitedly.

If the military salary was raised to 1 gold coin, it would definitely attract countless people to join the army. At that time, it would not be easy to recruit tens of thousands of people.

"Uncle Zhang, Lin Hai, Zuo Qianjun, Gu Wu, I will be leaving Tianwu County very soon. Right now, the Four Great Families are already stunned by me, even if I leave, they wouldn't dare do anything, but small movements are inevitable."

"You all must stay here and pay attention to this. Remember this, strength determines everything. Only with strength will you all have the right to speak." You can use the resources in the Marquis' Mansion to your heart's content, understand? "

There were many things that needed to be bought, and now that Qiao Nan gave them the rights, he allowed them to freely use the money. He only had one goal, which was to increase their strength.

"Don't worry, young master. This subordinate vows full loyalty and devotion to the young master." The four of them kneeled down and spoke in unison.

Especially Gu Wu and Lin Hai, they never thought that Qiao Nan would trust them so much.

Soldiers die for their own friends, what else can they ask for!

"Alright, no need to be so polite. All of you, get up." Qiao Nan looked at Gu Wu and Lin Hai, and when he heard them call him Young Master, he knew that he had completely subdued the two of them.

"Young master, there's one more thing. The Lingyun Country in the north has been sending troops to the border recently. I'm afraid they might be making a big move." Zuo Qianjun held onto a military emergency report.

Tianwu County was very close to the border, but once Lingyun crossed it, the first battle would be Tianwu County.

Therefore, Tianwu County was considered an important border area. However, over the years, Lingyun had never been able to cross the border, so Tianwu County was safe and sound.

"Ling Yun, you guys are involved in my father's matters as well. I never thought that you would actually come before I left, good," Qiao Nan said in his heart. He decided that he would not leave for a while.

"Zuo Qianjun, send out the scouts, instructing people to carefully monitor the situation at the Jade Gate Pass, and report every hour. "In addition, immediately send out two battalions to station themselves in the Howling Tiger Canyon." Qiao Nan took out a map, looked at the surrounding terrain of Sky Martial County, and immediately began to deploy his military defenses.

"Young Chieftain, aren't there a few members of the second battalion?" Zuo Qianjun had some questions.

The Howling Tiger Canyon was located high above, so it was easy to defend, but hard to attack. There was only one path that could be traversed.

The enemy army had at least a hundred thousand men. With two battalions of two thousand men, it would be difficult for them to make ends meet.

"Two battalions are quite a lot. Do as I say." Qiao Nan's attitude was firm and unquestionable.

"Yes." At this moment, Zuo Qianjun felt as if he had returned to Qiao Shuang's hands, as if he was using troops like a ghost.

"There are only ten battalions in the city, but there are only ten thousand soldiers. If you defend all of them then you will lose without a doubt. Lin Hai, Gu Wu, how many people are there?"

"Reporting to the Young Lord, I have three hundred people there."

"Young master, I have two hundred and fifty people with me."

The things that Qiao Nan had told them were not even a few days away, it was already not easy to recruit so many people.

"All of you, immediately bring these people to Skysea City in disguise."

"To Skysea City? That is the border of Ling Yun. " Uncle Zhang's face changed. Why would they go there now, a sheep into a tiger's den?

"Going to Skysea City will naturally have my use. You can secretly bring the 4th Battalion to Skysea City. There's no need to worry, once they pass through the Howling Tiger Canyon, the 4th Battalion will immediately!"

"Yes," Lin Hai and Gu Wu finally understood Qiao Nan's intention. Get ready. It was fine if the jade door was closed, but once it was broken, the matter would be dire.

Ying Du Royal City

"Now that Jade Gate is in a rush, Lingyun Country has gathered 280,000 soldiers to attack it. Now that there are only 30,000 defending Jade Gate, we request for their assistance as soon as possible."

In the morning in the imperial court, they were all talking about Lingyun's crimes.

280,000 against 30,000. The difference was simply too great.

Jade Gate Pass was originally an important border town, with 120,000 troops guarding it. For some reason, 100,000 soldiers and horses were suddenly sent away.

"Lingyun Country is nothing to worry about. I'm afraid they're just here to cause trouble, don't take it to heart." Sun Wanguo, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, spoke with confidence, not putting Lingyun in his heart at all.

"Bullsh * t! The guy's already here, and he still wants to play with you?" The Minister of Public Affairs, Tang Haozhong, pointed at his nose and cursed Sun Wanguo with a face full of anger.

"Right now, His Majesty is not well, so the country's affairs are decided by the ministers. If there's no other way, please come forward and make the decision." The court was in an uproar. Some agreed to support the Jade Gate, while others disagreed.

It was hard for them to come to a consensus right now. If they continued to argue, it would be too late for them to reinforce the Jade Gate Pass.

Tang Hao Zhong and a few other old officials were anxious to see His Majesty.

"His Majesty has given the order that my dragon body is slightly unwell. "We need to focus on recuperating from illness. The ministers of the various empires will discuss the decisions they make, while the Grand Preceptor will decide whether to make them or not." An old eunuch stopped Tang Hao and his old subjects, making them so angry that their beards started to float up.

"Since His Majesty has decreed it, let the Grand Preceptor decide." Upon hearing the imperial edict, everyone looked at the white-haired old man who was resting with his eyes closed.

"Hmph." Tang Hao Zhong snorted coldly and then left the court. The other old officials also left one by one. They knew that Grand Preceptor Zhang Bowen wouldn't choose to increase the number of troops at Jade Gate Pass.

"The Jade Gate Pass is not to be lost. Gather the grains and fodder for the Department of Revenue. Once the grains and fodder have been collected, the military will immediately send reinforcements to support the gate." The Grand Preceptor opened his eyes slowly, his gaze cold and sinister.

He was afraid that it would be too late by the time he arrived at Jade Gate Pass. However, he had rescued her. Even if there was any mistake later, he would only be found guilty.
