"Prince Yan of Da Feng said that he would conquer the north in a month and take my head.”
"Everyone, do you have anything to say?”
In the meeting hall of the King You Liang Residence, Xu Hao stood above the long conference table. His gaze swept across the people in the hall as he spoke with a playful expression.
What else could he say in this situation?
Wang Yuanlang and the other higher-ups of the Northern Territory were silent. Other than the bitterness on their faces, there was no other expression.
"Your Highness, in this general's opinion, this king Yan's words are simply wild talk! Forget about a month, even if he was given a year or ten years, so what?”
"I don't dare to say anything about other generals, but as long as I am here, Youzhou will be here!”
While Wang Yuanlang and the others were silent, Yue Fei, who had just arrived from Youzhou, spoke with a firm expression.
Hearing this, Wang Yuanlang and the other generals couldn't help but feel ashamed.
After all, they had followed the Great General to war, but none of them had the courage to do so now.
"Listen, this is the attitude that a soldier of the Northern Territory should have!”
Xu Hao glanced at Wang Yuanlang and the others. They couldn't help but lower their heads as if they were embarrassed.
This time, the Northern Territory was facing an army of 500,000, and they were all veterans who had just been withdrawn from the battlefield.
In addition, the Northern Territory was located at the border, so it was destined that they could not attack in full force! All of them will be sent to Youzhou to stop Prince Yan's 500,000 strong army.
Last time, the civil strife ended too quickly. Moreover, the location of the decisive battle was Liangzhou, where they could send troops to the enemy country at any time. This time, it was different. The battle line was too long.
Therefore, Xu Hao had estimated that he would send 100,000 soldiers against 500,000 soldiers!
As for the other 100,000 soldiers, they had to be stationed at the border to prevent the enemy country that had been guarding against them from taking advantage of the emptiness in the northern territory to directly destroy their nest.
If that happened, the Northern Territory would really be finished!
"How many new soldiers have you recruited during this period of time?”
"Your Highness, there are already 100,000 new soldiers. Moreover, this number is still growing rapidly every day!”
Wang Yuanlang, who was in charge of recruiting soldiers, finally smiled.
"Your Highness, it's all thanks to you that we were able to recruit 100,000 new soldiers in a short period of time!”
"My credit?"
Xu Hao was stunned and looked at Wang Yuanlang in confusion.
Wang Yuanlang explained with a smile," In the beginning, many people in the Northern Territory were unwilling to join the army because they knew that the new army might be going to fight against Dafeng.”
"In almost half a month, we only managed to recruit 50,000!”
"And, less than two days after Your Highness put up the notice, the recruitment points all over the place suddenly became popular!”
"However, in just three days, the number of people who signed up to join the army has exceeded 50,000!”
"If it wasn't for His Highness, there wouldn't be 100,000 people!”
Hearing Wang Yuanlang's words, the meeting hall fell silent for a moment. Then, everyone looked at Xu Hao.
Their eyes were filled with admiration and shock!
Xu Hao raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he did not expect this either. However, this was a good thing.
The only regret was that these were all new recruits who had never received any training!
If they were to enter the battle directly, it would be suicide. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Xu Hao would not allow the recruits to enter the battlefield.
Moreover, facing the 500,000 elite border troops, even if these 100,000 new recruits pressed forward, they would not be able to play a critical role.
"Hurry up and train!"
Xu Hao looked at the map on the table and pondered.
He felt that what the Northern Territory lacked the most was not soldiers, but outstanding generals.
As the saying went, it was easy to get a thousand troops, but hard to get a general!
In the entire Northern Territory, besides Yue Fei who was summoned by the system, the only one who caught Xu Hao's attention was Wang Yuanlang.
However, Wang Yuanlang was a regular fighter, and there was a huge gap between him and Yue Fei.
As for the others? They were all at an average level. It was probably impossible for them to defeat more people with fewer people.
"In this battle, should we defend the city and exhaust the enemy's morale and rations first, or should we take the initiative to attack?”
Now, there were only two options.
"Ding!"
"Option 1: Defend the city and never take the initiative to attack. Reward: Myriad Returning Swords!”
" Option 2: Take the initiative to attack and strengthen my prestige. Reward: two chances to summon a famous general!”
The system's voice sounded in his mind, causing Xu Hao to be stunned.
This system was too generous!
This was the first time he had seen such a thing. He was rewarded with two chances to summon a famous general.
"Option 2!"
Without any hesitation, Xu Hao chose the second option.
Myriad Returning Swords was a sword technique. Although it was very tempting, how could there be an opportunity to summon a famous general?
Moreover, what he lacked the most right now was general talent!
" System, summon a famous general!"
"Summoning a famous general for the host!"
"Summoning successful!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the famous general Gao Shun! (Bring 700 people from the personal army breaking camp)"
Gao Shun? Xu Hao narrowed his eyes, and a hint of a smile flashed across them.
This Gao Shun was a famous general that was forgotten by the later generations during the Three Kingdoms period!
In reality, Xu Hao felt that if Gao Shun had not chosen the wrong side and chosen the wrong Lu Bu as the lord, he would have definitely shone during the Three Kingdoms period.
However, even so, Gao Shun was still a well-deserved famous general.
In fact, when talking about Gao Shun, one had to mention the elite troops he controlled-the Breaking Ranks Camp!
Although there were only seven hundred people in the Breaking Ranks Battalion, they were all brave and skilled in battle, equipped with excellent equipment.
Although it did not exist for a long time during the Three Kingdoms period, its battle achievements were extremely outstanding, almost winning every battle.
"Now that this Breaking Ranks Battalion has been strengthened by the system, I'm looking forward to the performance of this elite!”
Xu Hao muttered in his heart, then began to use the second chance to summon a famous general.
