Early the next morning, Tang Zheng and Dian Wei came to the barracks, and when Tang Zheng and Dian Wei arrived, the army was ready to go. It is about 230 miles from Lingzhi to Linyu, and it will take a day and a half to march 150 miles a day. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Tang Zheng and his entourage did not delay in Lingzhiduo, so they hurriedly led the army to Linyu to kill.

"Zhang Chao, how far are we from Linyu now?" Tang Zheng asked Zhang Chao.

"Childe, we are still about seventy or eighty miles away from Linyu." Zhang Chao replied.

"Well, let the soldiers camp first, rest for one night today to recuperate, and strive to win Linyu in a battle tomorrow."

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it." After speaking, Zhang Chao wanted to turn around and leave.

"Wait, you send someone to the front to pursue Cheng Hu's team, so that they don't rush to attack the city and wait for us."

"Yes, Childe." Zhang Chao said, and after speaking, he turned around and went to arrange the things that Tang Zheng explained.

"Let's go, Brother Dian, let's go and have a look around." After speaking, Tang Zheng and Dian Wei continued to ride forward.

By the time the army set up camp, it was already dark, and in Tang Zheng's camp tent, Dian Wei, Zhang Chao, Zhao Yun, and a group of generals were sitting around and looking at Tang Zheng in unison. "Well, many of you are on the battlefield for the first time. I spent a lot of money to build this cavalry, and I will not assign you specific combat missions in this war, and you have already observed it this time. The main thing is to familiarize you with the battlefield and get used to the battlefield. ”

"Fujun, didn't you say that the enemy outside the city was handed over to us? Why do we need to focus on observation now? Before Tang Zheng's words were finished, Zhao Yun interjected.

"Zilong, you listen to me first. Also, this is the first and last time, and I hope you don't interrupt me while I'm talking. Tang Zheng said to Zhao Yun.

"Yes, the prince's subordinates know."

"I know what you're thinking, and you can rest assured that what I've said definitely counts. I estimate that Linyu already knew about our arrival and was ready, and it was impossible for the enemy not to know anything about such a big movement of the army. Therefore, I estimate that it is unlikely that the enemy will go out of the city and fight with us in the field, and will only hold the city and wait for reinforcements. Your cavalry has little effect on the storm, so the main force of this battle is still Cheng Hu's Modao battalion, so you are mainly observing, as for the enemy out of the city, I will let you solve it. ”

"Yes, the subordinates follow the arrangement of the king." Everyone said in unison.

"Okay, it's not too early, let's go down and rest first."

"No!" Everyone got up and said, and then exited Tang Zheng's camp.

"Brother Dian, you should go down and rest first." Tang Zheng looked at Dian Wei, who had not left, and said.

"I'm fine, it's a special period, Brother Tang, your safety is important. Besides, I don't have any place to help Brother Tang, only this brute force to protect Brother Tang's safety. Dian smiled and said to Tang Zheng.

"Okay, Brother Dian, I appreciate your kindness. If someone still touches in this barracks, it is also my Tang Zheng's life. After a day's journey, Brother Dian should go down and rest first! ”

Dian Wei pondered for a while and said to Tang Zheng: "Okay, what's the move, Brother Tang called me." After speaking, Dian Wei also got up and left Tang Zheng's tent.

Looking at the departing Dian Wei Tang Zheng smiled inadvertently, although Dian Wei is usually five big and three coarse and taciturn, but for Tang Zheng's safety Dian Wei has always been very dedicated, last night Tang Zheng woke up twice and saw Dian Wei standing outside Tang Zheng's door, so tonight Tang Zheng persuaded Dian Wei to rest earlier.

"Fu Jun, Cheng Hu has already set up camp in front and is waiting for Fu Jun's arrival." Zhang Chao rode his horse and ran to Tang Zheng and said. After a rapid march this morning, Tang Zheng led the army to a place ten miles outside Linyu City.

"Oh, when did they arrive?" Tang Zheng asked.

"Cheng Hu, they arrived last night, but after receiving the order of the prince, they did not rush to attack the city, but waited for the arrival of the monarch."

"Well, let's go, let's go and have a look. By the way, call the troops behind to follow. With that, Tang Zheng rode towards Cheng Hu's camp.

In the county yazhong in Linyu City, at this time, Zhang Jue, the commander of Linyu County, was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and kept turning around in the county ya. "My lord, Captain Xu has arrived." Just when Zhang Jue was impatient, a servant came to Zhang Jue and said.

"Oh, please! Forget it, I'll go with you personally. After speaking, Zhang Jue and the official walked to the outer hall together.

"Captain Xu is looking forward to you." Looking at Xu Ji, Zhang Jue said excitedly.

"I don't know why Zhang Xianling is looking for it like this?" Xu Ji asked.

"Captain Xu doesn't know that Rinshan's army has already camped ten miles away from Linyu City?"

"Lord Zhang was worried about this matter, don't worry, I have already sent someone to transfer the guards of Shanhaiguan to come to support. Just relying on him, 5,000 people in the Rinshan District want to take down my Linyu, it's a fool's dream. Xu Ji said nonchalantly.

"Report." At this moment, a servant came running from outside and said to Zhang Jue: "My lord, my subordinates have just found out, and the follow-up army in Rinshan has also arrived, and the preliminary estimate is that the number is about 5,000, all of which are cavalry. ”

"Ah, why are so many people here again, how is this good, Captain Xu, what do you say to do now?" Zhang Jue was in a hurry.

"Hmph, it's all Leng Qianqiu's traitor, if he hadn't led the Rin Mountain Army to come, why would we have fallen into such a passive situation."

"Captain Xu, now is not the time to complain about this, the top priority is how we can resist the attack of the Rinshan army." Zhang Jue said to Xu Ji that he knew that if the Rinshan army broke through Linyu, he would definitely die, and he didn't know why he was hot-headed and followed Zhang Chun to rebel against Hanting, but now Hanting has relieved himself and started to clean up Zhang Chun and his party.

"Lord Zhang rest assured, even if his reinforcements from Rinshan arrive, it will only be more than 10,000 people, and there are 5,000 cavalry that are not helpful to the siege. Besides, we still have 15,000 defenders in Linyu, plus reinforcements from Shanhaiguan, and we will have more than 30,000 people by then. Xu Ji said.

"That's what I said, but last time General Zhang and Qiu Liju joined forces with 200,000 troops, there was no way to take that Rinshan, and after this period of development, the Rinshan army must have become stronger, otherwise they wouldn't dare to attack my Linyu with just over 10,000 people."

"Lord Zhang is right, don't worry, I have already sent someone to Yangle to report to the general, as long as we delay for a few days and wait for the general to send a large army, it will be the end of his Rinshan army."

"Hey! There is no way now, I just hope that the general's reinforcements will arrive soon. ”

"Well, if Lord Zhang has nothing else to do, I'll go to the city wall to inspect first."

"Captain Xu will go and get busy first."

Xu Ji arched his hand towards Zhang Jue and turned around and walked out of the county government to the city wall, to be honest, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, the last time Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju combined 200,000 troops to attack Youbeiping, he also participated, and he also knew a little about the strength of the Rinshan army, especially the weapon that would explode after being ignited in Rinshan, which still makes him feel palpitations.
