Lao Xu's words caused Qin Yu's thoughts, yes, the strategy he originally offered, not to mention foolproof, but if implemented properly, it can also ensure that the army can slowly retreat. The middle-aged general also praised his strategy, but why did he order the cavalry to attack and kill the vanguard of the Xihu cavalry. Moreover, when his cavalry went to attack and kill Hu's army, the general did not leave with the army, but stayed in place and set up camp. It's really puzzling.

And according to Lao Xu, around the Xia military camp, I am afraid that there are nearly 10,000 Xihu cavalry.

But Lao Ding said to Lao Xu fiercely, "What do you say!" It's just to inspect the beacons of Zhuzhou with the marshal. When you meet some Hu Qi, it scares you like this! ”

That Lao Xu was said by Lao Ding. immediately retorted loudly, "Fart, I'm scared, today on the battlefield, I killed a Hu Qi with a spear!" ”

"Then you. Our border army is stationed near Lingzhou, and there are three whole armies! That's half of our border army! That's nearly 50,000 people in total! There is also this Lingzhou guard in Dingyuan, the state city, with 2,700 people and 3,000 horses. Of the six counties under the administration, there were no more than 1,000 soldiers and horses stationed. Since the marshal dares to set up camp here, he naturally has a clever plan to defend against the enemy! This time, the Hu soldiers invaded the territory, and the army commander also led two whole armies and defeated the Hu soldiers! ”

Qin Yu, who had no way to interject on the side, also had some other plans in his heart, and he wanted to learn more about the situation in this world through these two newly recognized big brothers.

"Two big brothers, let me tell the younger brother about the border army and Lingzhou, you see the little brother, I can't remember anything."

"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot about this stubble, it's time for you to talk about it." Lao Xu hurriedly said. But it was Lao Ding who officially introduced the situation to Qin Yu.

"Our army! That is, the imperial court removed the state guards and stationed the garrisons in the northwest border states. The dynasty system is different from the Lingzhou Guard, the Guard Army is responsible for guarding the county, and our border army is responsible for the border army, and our border army is guarding Lingzhou and the surrounding border states, but because there is no clear military number, they are all collectively called the border army! Our border army, speaking of which, is the strongest army in the northwest, and every time the Xihu barbarians come to invade the territory, they are defeated and returned. ”

"Let's talk about this Lingzhou. This Lingzhou is bordered by east, west, north and south respectively. Fuzhou, Liangzhou, Yuanzhou, Xiazhou. Guan County 6: Huile, Lingwu, Baojing, Huaiyuan, Mingsha, Wenchi, although it is a border state, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the territory! The state city of Dingyuan has the title of plugging the south of the Yangtze River! In short, among the northwestern states of Great Xia, Lingzhou is the largest state! Before Lao Ding finished speaking, Lao Xu grabbed the conversation and said depressedly.

"We fought with Dashuai just and Xihu a few days ago, and we returned with a big victory! I thought that Xihu wouldn't be in the realm in the near future, but I never thought that I would bump into it again today, it's really evil! These damn Western Hu barbarians are just the Hu tribe who occupy a grassland in the northwest of our Xia Dynasty, and the tribes under their command, the people are only one million, and they dare to come to invade my Great Xia territory, if it weren't for the imperial court to restrain the border army, our border army would not be allowed to cross the border to kill the enemy! Da Shuai has already taken us to destroy this Xihu! It's going to drag on like this!

This will be quite unexpected, in line with Lao Xu's words: "Yes! These damn barbarians, every time they invade, Lingzhou has taken the lead, but who said that our Lingzhou is the richest among the states! The large and small battles of our border army every year are basically related to Xihu. If you want me to say that it is all the ghosts of those officials and masters in the court, I have to show the strength of a big country. Hum! Those civil officials are corrupt, aren't they just greedy for the name of education! Otherwise, we would have swept away Xihu a long time ago! ”

Hearing this, Qin Yu became interested. opened his mouth and asked, "Why did this Xihu invade Lingzhou!" Lao Ding and the others hurriedly explained to Qin Yu.

"In fact, there was no Xihu in the northwest of us, but we had a deep grudge with the Northern Barbarians, in the past, our Xia Kingdom poured all the troops of the whole country, and the Northern Expedition barbarians, so we should break through the royal court of the Northern Barbarians, that is, the capital of the Northern Barbarians, and it is also the only city in the Northern Barbarians, when the city of Ulanto was born, the imperial court suddenly ordered the division to return to the court, but in this battle, we hit the Northern Barbarians in one fell swoop, and in the next ten years, the Northern Barbarians did not dare to invade our border again. In this Ulanto city, there was a bloody storm, and the Great Khan of the Northern Barbarians died violently shortly after our class returned to the dynasty, but he did not identify which son succeeded to the throne, so a big drama was staged in this Ulanto city, and the sons seized the heir. I just didn't think of it. But don't pick up a big bargain! When the sons of the Great Khan were busy seizing the throne, the leader of a large tribe in the Northern Barbarian tribes took the opportunity to gather his own soldiers and horses, premeditated the murder of the sons of the Great Khan, and sat on the throne of the Great Khan. This is where Sihu comes from. ”

"In other words, Xihu was originally a branch of the Northern Barbarians?" Qin Yu asked again

"That's probably the case, but at the beginning both sides claimed to be orthodox, but our Great Xia, in order to distinguish between the two, called the barbarians in the northwest called Xihu, and over time, the title of Xihu was also settled, this Xihu did not show hostility to my Xia country, but was busy competing with the northern barbarians for the grasslands in the north, so the court was also negligent in guarding, who would have thought that this Xihu, I don't know when it actually gathered an army of 60,000 people, impacting Yunzhou, the border state of my Xia country, and the border army stationed at the border pass was attacked for a while, and it was broken, Lingzhou assassin Shi died in battle, and then Xihu attacked Fuzhou and Yuanzhou. And after this Xihu entered the country, he burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil! Many states and counties in the two states were massacred and burned cities, and it can really be said that the corpses are all over the wilderness and the city is empty. The guards of these two states were under the leadership of Wu Guanxiao, the assassin of Yuanzhou, but they didn't want to lose five battles and five defeats, and the guards lost seven or eight out of ten. This Xihu is even more like entering a no-man's land. even violated all the way to Fengxiang. For a time, there was not an inch of tranquility in the entire Northwest Frontier. Hundreds of thousands of refugees have fled from the north, and the people in Guanzhong have become a disaster."

"And after that? Just conniving at the chaos of Xihu? Qin Yu wondered.

"That's not it, at this time, the imperial court ordered the Tieling army to be the commander, and Qin Hao, the Duke of Zheng Guo, to be the general, commanding the army of 300,000 and conquering Xihu!" Lao Ding said again.

"300,000 soldiers and horses, and they didn't defeat Xihu?" There was also a hint of disdain in Qin Yu's tone. But Lao Xu jumped up like a fried cat. yelled.

"Of course not! As soon as the imperial army arrived, it swept in all directions, and the Xihu thieves could be described as birds and beasts, but they were ....."
