On the Longxi side, the Wuwang Mansion has begun to prepare for war since the departure of the Emperor.

The Hungry Tiger Valley had enough grain and grass to meet the needs of 3,000 cavalry for three months, and 50,000 of the 300,000 arrows in the Longxi Arsenal had also been allocated to the Hungry Tiger Valley.

Yue Fei led 6,000 troops from his headquarters outside Lintao City. There were once three dock forts outside the city of Lintao, which were established by the local noble clans. After being bulldozed by Jia Xu, the dock fort was retained, Yue Fei made Niu Gao and Zhang Xian each lead 2,000 men and horses into a dock fort, and the remaining 2,000 themselves led into the last dock fort, and the four places echoed with Lintao.

Yang Yetun troops in the Weiyuan area to prevent a small number of Qianghu people from raiding and harassing.

And Zhao Ming's Imperial Forest Army with Mu Yu's cavalry battalion stationed in Xincheng, which is located in the north of Longxi and west of Pingxiang, blocking the road to the east of Qianghu. In a few months, the new city was roughly outlined, and there were 40,000 or 50,000 people who built the city, and if there was a crisis, they could also be brought in to replenish the army.

In Longxi City, only Zhang Rong was left to be responsible for dispatching in the rear to deal with emergencies.

This line of defense seems to be solid, but the strength is weak, Wuwangfu has already prepared with two hands, if the reinforcements do not come, the army will immediately join the army in Lintao, open the arsenal, force the people to build the city to fill the army, resist Qianghu on the front line of Lintao, look for opportunities to break the enemy, if Qianghu divides the army, other counties gather the people, and defend the city.

Hungry Tiger Valley is actually the first line of defense, although Hungry Tiger Valley does not nominally belong to the Longxi Army, but it can listen to the news north of Di Dao.

Ten days later, he brought reinforcements.

When Zhao Ming met with the generals who came to help, he was very surprised to see two people.

The first is Changsun Sheng, the general of Pingxi.

This person is the father of Empress Li Shimin's eldest grandson, the general of the Sui Dynasty, and a famous general who has repeatedly broken the Turks.

It seems that Li Yuan was born, not only brought out several of his sons, but also his daughter-in-law. The eldest grandson was born with Li Shimin, and the eldest grandson Sheng also came out.

Looking at Changsun Sheng's data again, Zhao Ming was even more sure that this person must have been brought out by Li Yuan.

Name: Changsun Sheng

Age: 46

Domination: 96

Force: 97

Intelligence: 88

Politics: 76

Glamour: 90

Loyalty: 100 (Zhao Yi, the Son of Heaven) 100 (Li Yuan)

Specialty: (Archery)

This data is so gorgeous that it catches up with Yue Fei, and the allusion of killing two birds with one stone is derived from Changsun Sheng, this person has repeatedly broken the Turks, almost all-round in civil and military affairs, but when Li Yuan rebelled, he died early, it stands to reason that he has no intersection with Li Yuan, but he was brought out by Li Yuan, and he is also a general of Pingxi, with 20,000 horses in his hands, which makes Zhao Ming even more jealous of Li Yuan.

It's just that this eldest grandson Sheng also has 100 loyalty to the Son of Heaven, if Li Yuan rebels, how will this eldest grandson Sheng choose? Zhao Ming was very interested in knowing.

The second is the nephew of Zhenxi General Wang Dazhui and one of the deputy generals of the Zhenxi Army, Wang Qing.

No way! Isn't Wang Qing one of the four great cowards? How did he become an official soldier?

Name: Qing Wang

Age: 27

Domination: 82

Force: 83

Intelligence: 60

Politics: 55

Charisma: 62

Loyalty: 30 (Zhao Yi, the Son of Heaven)

Feature: (None)

Wang Qing's own ability is average, but there are no less than ten people under him who can recruit good fighters, and there is a Li Zhu, known as "Mr. Jin Jian", although this person is not good at military warfare, but he is known for his resourcefulness, one of Wang Qing's think tanks, a set of swordsmanship is unleashed, even Lu Junyi can't resist it, and at this moment, this Li Zhu is standing next to Wang Qing.

Name: Li Zhu

Age: 32

Domination: 51

Force: 99

Intelligence: 90

Politics: 62

Glamour: 44

Loyalty: 30 (Zhao Yi, the Son of Heaven) 95 (Wang Qing)

Specialty: (Swordsmanship)

No way! These subordinates brought out by Wang Qing were the same as him, and they really had little loyalty to the emperor. This Li Zhu's swordsmanship is too high, Zhao Ming is very vigilant in his heart, at this distance, it is too easy for Li Zhu to take his life.

Zhao Ming quietly looked at Wang Dazhui's data again.

Name: Da Hammer Wang

Age: 41

Domination: 90

Force: 92

Intelligence: 53

Politics: 64

Charisma: 55

Loyalty: 98 (Zhao Yi, the Son of Heaven)

Feature: (None)

is worthy of being the general who leads the western army of the town, the command and force are gorgeous, and the loyalty is also high, and now there is Wang Da Hammer pressing, I am afraid that Wang Qing will not make any big trouble in a short time.

After everyone saw Zhao Ming, the martial king, Wang Dazhui was straightforward and shouted directly: "Dare to ask the martial king, do you know, what is the current military situation?" ”

Zhao Ming didn't beat around the bush and replied: "King Gu only received news not long ago that more than 100,000 Qianghu troops have gathered north of Lintao, and I'm afraid that it will be these few days since he went south." ”

When everyone heard that there were really so many Qianghu, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Wang Dazhui and Changsun Sheng served in the Western Army all the year round, although Qiang and Hu did not gather people to invade the south for more than ten years, but the small-scale looting and harassment have been non-stop, almost every year after the autumn harvest, Hu Qi will more or less have a southern invasion.

The two of them have been dealing with Hu Qi in the Western Army for so many years, and they know how powerful the Hu people are, and they are a little anxious at the moment.

Zhao Ming saw that everyone was silent, and said: "Seeing that the big war is imminent, you are all generals who have been fighting with Qianghu all the year round, and you have rich experience, I don't know what is the best way to break the enemy?" ”

Everyone didn't speak, but Wang Dazhui said: "General Dou asked me to wait to obey the dispatch of Lord Wuwang, and we naturally take Lord Wuwang's horse as the leader." ”

Wang Dazhui's answer was somewhat wrong, Zhao Ming asked about the strategy of breaking the enemy, but he was busy showing his loyalty. It seems ridiculous, but when you think about it, it's not like that.

It turned out that Dou Kuo was worried that King Wu would be young next year, and the biggest backer, King Wu Xin, had already returned to heaven, Dou Kuo was very worried that the generals would bully Zhao next year, and he would not listen to the dispatch and spoil the big thing. Therefore, before leaving, I had a deep talk with Wang Da Hammer, this Wang Da Hammer is by no means so rude and brainless as his name, and I understood Dou Kuo's meaning when I heard it.

Wang Dazhui admired Wu Wangxin very much when he was young, and he was naturally willing to confess to Dou Kuo. What's more, he knows very well that this battle is not easy to fight, and if it is difficult to unify the orders, I am afraid that his own life will be surrendered here.

So as soon as Zhao Ming spoke, Wang Dazhui immediately expressed his position, which seemed to be unrelated, but it was a side drum for the generals below.

Listen to Wu Wangming's command, Lao Tzu has no opinion, you all show Lao Tzu clearly one by one, don't mess around.

Who said this sledgehammer is a mallet? This mind is clear.

Zhao Ming was still pondering the meaning of Wang Dazhu's words, but the eldest grandson Sheng under the tent asked: "Dare to ask the king, the purpose of this battle is to annihilate Qianghu in Longxi?" Or do you just want to force Qiang Hu to retreat? ”

All the generals knew that it was easy to force Qianghu to retreat, but it was difficult to defeat Qianghu, and it was even more difficult to annihilate Qianghu.

Zhao Ming also knew that if he wanted Qianghu to retreat, he only needed his hundreds of thousands of troops to disperse the counties, gather the people to clear the wilderness, and defend the city.

If you want to defeat Qianghu, you have to take the initiative to attack and fight with Qianghu. The benefits of the Qianghu cavalry are by no means comparable to the cavalry of the Yan Dynasty.

In the field, if the planning is not good, it is very likely to be a big defeat, or even the overall annihilation.

Even if they win, how many of these hundreds of thousands of troops will be left?

Seeing that Changsun Sheng asked, Zhao Ming said: "The lone king also knows that this battle is difficult to win, but he only forces Qianghu away, next year, the year after tomorrow Qianghu returns, how many trips will you have to run to Longxi?" Therefore, the will of the lonely king has been decided, and this battle will defeat Qianghu and ensure the peace of my Dayan West for five years. ”

Seeing Zhao Ming's statement, everyone had no choice but to bow their hands and say, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Then they discussed it again, but there was no good solution.

Although the Qianghu soldiers and horses are advantageous, their weaknesses are also obvious, and they form temporary alliances, and the various ministries are unified by themselves, and I am afraid it will be difficult to order unity. However, these shortcomings can only be observed on the battlefield and decided on the fly.

After the discussion, Zhao Ming sent people to put on a banquet for the generals to wash the dust.

During the banquet, the deputy general Wang Qingchao "Mr. Golden Sword" Li Zhu made a look, Li Zhu saw it, attended the bow to Zhao Ming, and said: "The villain Li Zhu is currently a guest at General Wang Qing's house." ”

Zhao Mingqi said: "What does Mr. Li have to say?" ”

Li Zhu raised his voice and said: "The villain often hears that when the first Wang Xin was alive, he was perfect with both guns and swords, and his marksmanship was better than that of the generals of our dynasty; Swordsmanship defeats the heroes of the world. The villain has been learning swords since childhood, and he has become obsessed with swords, and he has been famous in the rivers and lakes for many years, known as 'Mr. Jin Jian', and the villain's only hate is that he has no chance to learn the swordsmanship of the first king, and he can't fight with it, which is a big regret in his heart. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, but Zhao Ming thought: You are summoned by Lao Tzu, naturally it is impossible to fight with my father, looking at your 99 force, it is not as good as She Saihua, and my father will defeat She Saihua at most thirty times, you are like this, there is really nothing worth fighting with Dad.

I only heard Li Zhu and said: "It is said that there is no vanity under the fame, the first king believes that the world is invincible, although the villain has no chance to fight, but he is also convinced, but the villain believes that in the palace of the king of martial arts, there must be a person who has the true inheritance of the king of martial arts. ”

When Li Zhu said this, Zhao Ming was a little strange. This Li Zhu and Wang Qing are not famous, and it stands to reason that they are not hostile to him, why do they want to challenge the Wuwang Mansion at this time?

There is only one thing, he never believes that this Li Zhulai challenge is a pure martial arts battle, and he must have an ulterior purpose.

Zhao Ming guessed correctly, Wang Qing asked Li Zhu to challenge with his ultimate. Who is Wang Qing? The four great masters of the Song Dynasty, although he came to this world and had no memory of his previous life, his ambition was still there.

Wang Qing naturally has no hostility towards the Wuwang Mansion, he just wants to make a name for himself and make a guest challenge the Wuwang Mansion, if he wins, he will climb up in the name of the Wuwang Mansion, even if he loses, he will not be ashamed.

If you don't take advantage of this to become famous, how can the world know him Wang Qing?

Zhao Ming was still pondering, but Wang Dazhui jumped up and scolded: "Good dog guts, Qing boy, do you want to try your Uncle Hammer's sledgehammer first?" ”

Wang Qing said with a smile: "Where does my nephew dare to try my uncle's sledgehammer, but this Li Zhu is indeed a sword addict, and he has long had the intention of challenging the world, and his nephew can't either." ”
