Guo Qi stayed on the outskirts of Huangyuan City for two days, feeling the terrain within a radius of ten miles before returning to Lanjiabao, where Guo Qi left thirty people and enough food for them to continue to monitor Huangyuan City; He led a large group of people back to Chen's cottage.

After returning to the Chen family's cottage, Guo Qi wrote a warrant stamped with his own seal and handed it to Tang Bi.

"Tang Bi, you immediately return to Yongcheng with this military order from this king, and order Hu Qiong to lead the Ya military guards to come and bring ten days of grain and grass to Chen's cottage to obey the order, and arrive within five days after receiving the order." Guo Qi ordered; "This king also has a letter and a method of building a plow here, and give it to Song Yiming."

"No! Obey the king's commands. Tang Bi ordered.

After Tang Bi left, Guo Qi ordered Chen Shan to send someone to summon all the owners of the 36 villages to Chenjia Cottage, when all the owners of the village knew that Chen Shan and Cheng Yong were subdued by Guo Qi, they were shocked, but Jia Shen expressed his willingness to surrender to Guo Qi on the spot, and then everyone else also expressed their loyalty.

"Since everyone has the heart to be loyal to this king, then this king will not be upright, from now on, we will all be brothers in life and death, and we will treat you and the people of Yongzhou and this king equally." Guo Qi said to everyone: "But there is an important thing that this king wants to hand over to you to do, do you see the climbing plow outside?" After you go back, you will immediately organize the young people in the cottage to build as many climbing plows as possible, and send the built climbing plows to the Chenjia cottage, and the king will have his own reward. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Everyone saluted Guo Qi.

After the discussion, the other owners left, and only Jia Shen stayed.

"Is there something wrong with Jashen?" Guo Qi Q&A.

"The lord and I have something to ask for."

"Something to say."

"I heard Brother Cheng say that the lord has incorporated Cheng's family village into the army, and I also want to take the brothers in my village to join the army, do you want it?"

"Of course, but for now your task is to do the plow, and the matter of joining the army will be discussed later; This king first said to you that in the front, the entry of the Yongjun army needs to be assessed, and if you fail to pass the assessment, you will not be able to join the army. ”

"This villain understands that as long as the lord allows it." Jia Shen said happily.

Unconsciously, seven days have passed, Hu Qiong led the 6,000-tooth guards to the Chen's cottage, and filled the open space under the cottage, except for the 6,000-tooth guards, Guo Qi received more than 1,200 climbing plows one after another in the past seven days, but many climbing plows were not pulled by livestock, and could only be pulled by people.

After the arrival of the Ya Junwei, they rested in place for a day and continued to advance towards Lanjiabao, but this time in addition to the Ya Junwei, there were more than 1,000 young people, all of whom were bandits from the original 36 villages, and they carried their own weapons and pulled the plough to move with the army.

Langjiabao camp.

In order to prevent being discovered by the Xirong army defending the city of Huangyuan City, Guo Qi ordered that no fire was allowed in the camp, although it was still more than 30 miles away from Huangyuan City, and there was a big mountain to block it, but Guo Qi was afraid that the fire could be seen from a distance, especially at night, it would be more obvious; For this reason, everyone can only sign up for warmth.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, there are only a few dim oil lamps burning, and on one side of the big tent hangs the map of Huangyuan City drawn by Guo Qi, Tang Bi, Zhuo Yidao, Li Wu and others are looking around the map with the help of oil lamps!

After Hu Qiong opened the big tent and came in, he saluted Guo Qi and said, "See the lord for his humble position." ”

"Hu Qiong, have the brothers been settled?"

"The lord has already arranged everything." Hu Qiongyu reports.

"Okay, let's discuss the battle plan." Guo Qi walked to the map and said: "Our current location is in Lanjiabao, more than thirty miles away from Huangyuan City, and it takes more than two hours to reach it after marching in the snow;

We set off on time tomorrow, rushed to Zhangjiaao outside Huangyuan City before sunset to hide, and began to act at night, led by Li Wu and Cheng Yong, who were responsible for infiltrating the city and opening the city gate to welcome the army into the city; After entering the city, the king led the soldiers of the personal guard to attack the city lord's mansion located in the center of the city, Hu Qiong and Tang Bi led the main force to attack the military camp in the north city, and Zhuo Yidao led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to seize the Cangcheng Mansion treasury located in the west of the city......"

"No! The last general (lowly) received the order. Several people answered the order together.

"Next, this king will introduce you to the city defense of Huangyuan City." Guo Qi continued: "Huangyuan City is a city of six miles from east to west, north and south, only this city wall, the city wall is made of bluestone into a height of about two zhang, a width of about one zhang, there are three city gates, namely the east gate, the west gate and the south gate, there is a moat outside the city, but at this time the moat has been frozen and it is just a decoration;

There are 3,000 tents stationed in the city of Xirong, and there are 3,000 armor soldiers according to Xirong, and Xijon male slaves are good at war, so once the war starts, we will face much more Xijon troops, and it is likely to exceed 10,000 people; After entering the city, you don't have to be merciful, kill all the old and weak men of the Xijon alien race, and only leave the women of the right age......"

"Lord, if you kill it, it's over, what dare you keep a woman?" Cheng Yong asked puzzled.

"There are many people in this king's army who don't have daughters! These women will be rewarded by the king after the war, and you can tell your brother about this. Guo Qi said with a smile.

"The lord is wise......," said the people.

"You all understand your mission!"

"Understood!"

"Then disperse! Go back and get an early rest. ”

"The last general (lowly office) retires."

After everyone left, Guo Qi continued to look at the map, wondering if there was anything he had missed; Although Guo Qi has made the plan perfectly, although he has not experienced a big war, Guo Qi also knows that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the slightest carelessness will lead to a catastrophe.

This night was very sad for the Ya Junwei and the green forest young man who followed, although several people warmed each other and wrapped themselves in thick clothes, but still could not resist the biting cold wind, many people were so cold that they could not sleep and could only get up and move, and even two green forest young men fell asleep at night and never got up again the next day; Before this battle started, Guo Qi's men and horses had some losses.

The sun rose in the early morning, and the temperature did not rise, but the warmth could still be felt under the sun. The time soon came to the afternoon, and Guo Qi led the 6,000-tooth army guard to set off on time and came to Zhangjiaao before sunset, waiting for the final opportunity to attack.

At that time, Li Wu and Cheng Yong gathered one hundred and twenty good men to stand in front of Guo Qi, and Guo Qi walked in front of each of them, and helped them sort out their clothes or weapons, all of whom were lightly armoured, and did not even wear leather armor; They are the best of the 6,000-toothed guards, and now they are the dead soldiers who take the lead.

"Let's go!" Guo Qi ordered.

"No! Let's go. ”

After more than 100 dead soldiers set out, Guo Qi gathered nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses and then left the mountain col and hid in a mountain forest two miles northeast of Huangyuan City.
