"Newspaper .. King Xian, an unknown army, about four or five hundred thousand people, was found ten miles north of the city, and was rushing towards my new city."

There has been nothing to do in the past few days, Li Mang didn't pay attention to the military, just laughed with a few women in the hall, and today the messenger suddenly broke in, and his expression was still quite nervous, Li Mang thought what was the matter.

"Oh?" Li Mang and Fenghua glanced at each other, and Li Mang spoke: "It must be your imperial uncle, let's go out to greet you."

"Hmm" Fenghua nodded, and got up with Li Mang.

"It's okay, it should be a friendly army, inform Liu Ming and Liu Lang to wait for me outside the city," Li Mang said to the confused messenger.

"Yes"

Outside the gate of the new city, Liu Jun led the army slowly, Liu Ming and Liu Lang both nodded at the same time when they saw the military flag, and Liu Ming said: "King Xian, it is indeed my imperial uncle."

"Well, let's go" Li Mang nodded, and Bendang hit the horse forward first, and Fenghua, Liu Ming, and Liu Lang followed left and right.

"His Royal Highness the King of the North, I have missed the distance, forgive my sins" Li Mang came to the front of the army and said with a fist to the first person.

The three Fenghua people around them also hurriedly drove their horses forward, and said respectfully: "Fenghua (Liu Ming, Liu Lang) has seen Uncle Huang, and Uncle Huang has worked hard."

Liu Jun waved his hand to stop the team, and then hit the horse in front of the four people, ignoring the three of them, but looked straight at Li Mang, and said after a long time: "It's really as young as the legend."

Li Mang thought that this North King was going to do something, but he didn't want to say such a sentence, so he could only smile awkwardly and say: "North King, it's been hard all the way, let's talk about it when you enter the city."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we enter the city, just let me have a discussion with you to see if your strength is as powerful as the legend" Liu Jun said and shouted to a few generals behind him: "Camp outside the city, rest, this king has entered the city."

"Yes"

......

In the hall, Li Mang and a few people had just entered, and before they could sit down, Liu Jun pulled Li Mang and walked outside, Li Mang was shocked, and it was difficult to resist, so he could only drag him away.

"Let's go, let's have a few tricks with this king first."

Fenghua and the three wanted to follow, but when they thought of this imperial uncle's temper, they still suppressed their desire to take a peek, so they could only smile bitterly and sit down to taste tea.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two returned, only to see that Li Mang was no different from before, while the king of the north was wrinkled in his clothes, and there was dust hanging in some places.

Fenghua covered his mouth and chuckled: "Uncle Huang, what's the matter, did you lose or win?" I am afraid that only Fenghua dared to talk to the North King like this.

"Stinky girl, you haven't married yet, your elbow is turned out, but your wishful husband is really good, young, and your strength is also... It's okay, there is a set of leading soldiers, the key is that people are refreshing, not bad, not bad" The king of the north sat on the main seat with a big grin, and then said loudly.

Li Mang wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak, and a few relatives chatted, so it was better not to interject.

After a while, a few people seemed to finish talking about the old days, and the king of the north said to Li Mang: "King Xian, when Your Majesty came, he ordered that my army should also be under your command, you say, what will you do next?"

Li Mang was stunned for a moment, then relieved, and thought for a while: "King Bei, this time there are exactly 200,000 troops that can't be settled, why don't I give you 100,000, how about you help practice?"

"Okay, there are such good things, this king is not afraid of soft bones, he must be trained well" The king of the north was very excited after hearing this, and patted his chest.

"Then it's decided, I'll bring 100,000 troops, you bring 100,000 troops, and let's each leave another 100,000 veterans, a total of 200,000, to guard this side, how about it?" Li Mang hurriedly asked.

"Oh... You kid hit this idea, it's okay, anyway, Your Majesty has explained, you are in charge, what you say is what you say" King Bei responded without thinking about it.

Li Mang saw that the temper of the North King was on the opposite side of his own, and he no longer had any worries, and continued to speak: "The 200,000 leading people, the North King, will pick a powerful one from your army, and then the army will rest for a few days and we will go on the road, and then go to Xingzhou, Your Majesty is too anxious, it seems that the two southwestern countries are a little unbearable."

"Hmm... This king's coming this time is because the two southwestern countries have put pressure on His Majesty, otherwise he would rather wait for the Yanzhou army to complete the training of the new army and send it to the south, it is impossible for me to go on the expedition" The king of the north nodded and said worriedly.

Li Mang didn't know what to do, and he didn't say much, and then said: "The king of the north is tired all the way, let's rest first, if we have anything to say, it's not too late to talk tomorrow."

"Okay, this king will sleep first, and you can have someone bring some wine to this king," said the king of the north.

"Yiyi"

Hearing this, the little maid hurriedly ran in and responded, "Lord Wang."

"Your sisters will cook for themselves, and bring some wine and food for the North King, so that he can also taste your craft," Li Mang commanded.

"Okay," Yi Yi glanced at Beiwang Jiao when he heard this, and then turned to leave.

Beifang looked at Yi Yi's graceful back thoughtfully, and when Yi Yi walked away, Beiwang spoke: "I said King Xian, you little girl is not simple."

"It is said that the king of the north is aggressive, if you want to fight, just find their sisters, and ensure that you have fun" Li Mang did not show off, proudly.

"What?" said the North King with a look of surprise.

Li Mang didn't speak anymore, raised his head and laughed, and the three of Fenghua also snickered.

......

A few days later, the army was rested, and the combined army totaled more than 1.1 million people and headed towards Xingzhou in the south.

At this time, most of Xingzhou had already been recovered by the 500,000 border troops of Dawu, and the 500,000 troops were stationed in Anli City again, and a large number of grain and grass materials from all over the city were also mobilized, which was enough for the army to eat for several years.

It's really a bit of a trench and a lot of wisdom.

Li Mang got the news earlier, and after the army marched to the prison city, he rested for another day, and at the same time he gathered the king of the north, Liu Ming, and Liu Lang together.

"Anli City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are no dwellings or people in the city, and there are no mountains and rivers nearby. I suggest this, Liu Ming led 200,000 troops to garrison the prison city to prevent the enemy from crossing the border, Liu Lang led 300,000 troops to bypass Anli City, all the way to the south, only to collect the city, the ultimate goal is to completely isolate this Anli City, trapped here, the king of the north, you will lead 500,000 troops to garrison around Anli City, the enemy will not leave the city, and he will not be able to go back if he leaves the city."

The king of the north nodded: "It is feasible, this not only contains the 500,000 army, but also does not affect the siege of the city and the land, saves time and troops, and when the southwest two countries make a result, this 500,000 army is not at the mercy of us and others, but... What are you doing?"

Li Mang smiled, didn't speak, got up and stood in front of the map, looked at it for a long time, and then pointed it out.

When everyone saw the direction of Li Mang's finger, they suddenly got up in shock, and they all said in surprise: "Wuzhou?"

"That's right, at this time, the three states of Dawu are all empty, Xingzhou needless to say, with our army here, it is already in our pocket, although Binzhou is now also empty of troops, but the border army and the Wuzhou army are in the west, and they can withdraw to Binzhou at any time. Only Wuzhou, which is not only the core of Dawu, but also a place where the real army is empty, there is no support everywhere, he Dawu Emperor made dangerous moves, and I also won by surprise, and went straight to Huanglong" Li Mang pointed to the map and said.

"No, it's too dangerous, if you calculate it like this, you only have 100,000 troops, how can you enter Wuzhou lightly?" Liu Ming said.

"100,000 troops are enough, at this time, there is nothing else in the states and cities except the city defense army, and the same is true in Wuzhou, I guess that only the imperial city should have a formed internal guard army, but the number is definitely not more than 100,000, don't forget, I still have 10,000 heavenly troops" Li Mang waved his hand, signaling everyone to rest assured, and then explained.

Liu Ming and Liu Lang have always trusted Li Mang, and seeing that Li Mang is so sure, they don't say more, it is the first time that the Northern King has dealt with Li Mang, and all the knowledge of him is limited to rumors, so he will be suspicious: "Are you sure that you can take Wuzhou and the imperial city with only 100,000 troops?"

Li Mang smiled slightly: "When did I say that I was going to take Wuzhou and take the imperial city?

"That's right, a large army suddenly appeared in Wuzhou, then Emperor Dawu will definitely transfer troops back to support, at this time only the Western Border Army and the Wuzhou Army can be mobilized, in this way, the crisis between the two countries in the southwest will be solved immediately" Beiwang said loudly.

"Well, that's why I only brought an army of 100,000 people, first, there are few people, and they come and go freely, and second, there is really no big war, and there is not much need for it" Li Mang nodded and said.

"Okay, this king also agreed," said the king of the north as he sat down again.

"Okay, then after I leave, you can each do your own thing, if there is an accident, the army will be fully deployed by the King of the North, understand?" Li Mang looked at Liu Ming and Liu Lang brothers.

"Yes," the two responded

Li Mang glanced at a few people present, then laughed loudly and shouted: "Let's go on the expedition!"
