Chu Lixuan patiently helped his children take out the red envelopes from their pockets.

"Daddy will put it away for you. When you grow up, you can keep it for yourself."

"Hey... that's easy to say..." the three children said happily.

Then he continued to receive the red envelope and quickly put it into his chest pocket, taking away the rare ones that everyone wanted.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year happily, the Emperor of Xichu returned to Xichu with many guards, Hao Yue and Hao Shengsheng.

Hao's father and Hao's mother lived in Xuanyan Castle with their young son. Hao Jiaojiao has married Wei Dabin, so naturally she will not return to Xichu.

Everyone happily celebrated the Lantern Festival again. Wei Dabin and Zhao Yu went to Yazhou with their newlywed wives who were less than a month old.

Because Cui Yingjie from Yazhou came back with a message from flying pigeons, saying that Nanman, who had been repairing for more than a year, was ready to move again.

Dai Yuntao's wife was going to give birth to a baby in a few months, so he was left to guard Xuanyan Castle.

Chu Lixuan took care of the children every day and didn't want to go into battle in person, but as soon as Wei Dabin and the others left.

He also took his wife, son and family of five to inspect major provincial cities. The couple wanted to show their children the customs and customs of the Xuanyan Dynasty.

At the same time, we also want to see whether the managers in each provincial city are qualified for that job.

Wei Dabin and the others had just arrived in Yazhou, and before they had rested, they received news from the scouts.

The Nanman once again launched an army of 300,000 troops, heading straight for Yazhou City. They were still two hundred miles away from Yazhou.

"General, this is an urgent report from the front line."

While the generals were waiting for the final battle report, suddenly one of Cui Yingjie's soldiers ran over quickly.

He held a battle report in his hand and hurriedly handed it to Cui Yingjie.

Cui Yingjie immediately handed it to General Wei Dabin, who quickly took it and looked at it carefully.

His eyes gradually became sharp, and finally, he handed the battle report to Cui Yingjie beside him and said.

"Gather all the soldiers immediately and tell everyone that the Nanman army is now less than a hundred miles away from our Yazhou City. Everyone should be prepared to meet the enemy."

Cui Yingjie and the lieutenants nodded, turned and left.

At this time, Wei Dabin was not worried that the Southern Barbarians were about to attack, he just wanted to give the Southern Barbarians some color.

The Southern Barbarians have been attacking Yazhou for many years, and Yazhou's previous defense was not that powerful.

However, it is different now. Their defense system is very strong and cannot be shaken by ordinary people.

Wei Dabin knew very well that the Southern Barbarians were determined to attack Yazhou this time, but so what.

The Nanman people don't have the ability to fight against Xuan Yan Chao, but the Nanman people don't know how powerful they are yet.

As long as they have a little color with the Nanman this time, let them remember the difference of Xuanyan Dynasty.

"General, is this news reliable?" At this moment, a voice rang out, it was an old general.

He is Yang Guogong. Emperor Dongchen sent his cronies to attack him last year, but it was Chu Lixuan who personally saved their family.

Later, Yang Guogong and his son asked to guard Yazhou, and his father, wife and children were still in the Guogong Mansion in Shangni County.

For more than a year, Yang Guogong and his son have been guarding this territory conscientiously, and usually work with everyone to open up wasteland and cultivate land.

Yang Guogong felt that such days were very fulfilling, and they also returned to Shangni County to spend time with his family during the Chinese New Year.

Cui Yingjie and several young generals, their families are all in Yazhou, so they celebrate the New Year in Yazhou.

"This news should be true. Our scouts are not vegetarians, but there is no need to worry, Mr. Guo."

Wei Dabin pointed to the piece of paper with the message written on it, which stated the march route of the Nanman army and the speed of food and grass transportation.

There was still some fighting power. Yang Guogong observed it carefully and his eyebrows gradually wrinkled.

"This time the Nanman army actually chose a path that leads directly to Yazhou, and their marching speed was also extremely fast.

Even the generals of the Southern Barbarians may not be able to achieve such a speed."

Yang Guogong said in surprise, his face became solemn, "If this is true, the Southern Barbarians are coming very hard this time, and we may have to suffer a hard battle."

"My general is afraid that they will not come. If they come, they will never come back. Our defensive walls are unmatched."

"General Wei, I have an idea." Another veteran on the side stood up and said.

"Oh? What do you think?" Wei Dabin raised his head and asked gently.

"We have an army of 200,000 here, and the Southern Barbarians have an army of 300,000. In terms of numbers, we don't have an advantage. Why don't we ambush them?"

After listening to what he said, other generals also thought this method was good, but Wei Dabin rejected it.

Wei Dabin pondered for a moment and then said: "Our master just wants to defeat the Nanman in one fell swoop and give them a disincentive. If we ambush them, even if they win, the Nanman will not be afraid."

Everyone also nodded, they all knew that this southern barbarian army was definitely not a kind person.

If there is no comprehensive response method, it is absolutely impossible to shake this army.

"In this case, let's discuss a combat plan first, and then study whether it is feasible."

Wei Dabin finally made the decision, and everyone agreed and started thinking about it.

"General Wei, you are right. I am afraid that this time we need to win at one fell swoop in order to suppress the Southern Barbarians."

"But this is too risky, isn't it? That Southern Barbarian has an army of 300,000 people." Yang Guogong frowned and said.

"An army of three hundred thousand is nothing, so don't worry too much. They will arrive in Yazhou in one day."

Wei Dabin saw the worried expressions on the faces of Duke Yang and the generals and said comfortingly.

"General Wei, will there really be no problems this time?" General Li asked worriedly.

Yang Guogong also nodded: "General Wei, if anything goes wrong, neither you nor I can afford to suffer."

"There won't be any problems. Just believe me. We will definitely win this time."

"I hope so."

When everyone heard Wei Dabin's words, although they felt something was wrong, they still nodded.

At this time, a deputy general ran in hurriedly, came to Wei Dabin and whispered.

"Report to General Wei that there is an army coming from the front. It should be the Southern Barbarian army."

After hearing the deputy general's words, everyone suddenly became nervous.

"what should we do?"

"You've come just in time, I'm going to meet them personally, general." Wei Dabin snorted coldly, stood up and walked out.

But as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Yang Guogong.

"General Wei, please wait a moment. We will discuss it before making a decision." Yang Guogong said in a deep voice.

Hearing Yang Guogong's words, Wei Dabin stopped walking out, "You guys slowly discuss the countermeasures. I, the general, will go to fight first."
