Yicheng is located in the west of the Celestial Empire, and the original Liangzhou was changed to Yicheng. After years of war, Yicheng has been left with less than half of the former Liangzhou. The emperor of the Celestial Empire sent a large army this time not only to exterminate the rebels and resist the Tibetan army, but also to regain the lost territory in one go.

Under the city of Yicheng, 350,000 troops were encamped, a company camp, and the flag covered the sun.

A huge Chinese army tent had already been built in the middle of the company camp, Ouyang Jing sat in the position of the commander, and the generals with troops from the rest of the counties sat on both sides.

Fang Jue recognized at a glance the general sitting on the side, he was the general Fang Cun sent by Jiangning County to support. Out of respect for the boss, Fang Jue didn't step forward to talk, Fang Cun just glanced at Fang Jue respectfully, and then listened to Ouyang Jing's lecture.

The Tibetan State has gathered an army of 400,000 troops, stationed hundreds of miles away, ready to move, ready to rush at any time.

"Yicheng is too guarded by Li Haobai."

A small colonel at the door shouted loudly, and a burly middle-aged man walked in. Li Haobai just politely paid homage to Ouyang Jing, and then sat down. He has an army of 100,000 in his hands, and it is only the reported 100,000, and the real number of soldiers is about 150,000. So he was a little dissatisfied with Ouyang Jing, the coach who came from afar.

"Dare to ask, General Ouyang, how should you summon me and others to suppress the enemy?" Li Haobai's tone was a little unhappy.

"Li Taishou, you just need to stick to Yicheng and provide me with food." Ouyang Jing didn't expect Li Haobai to send troops to support, as long as Yicheng held on, the Tubo army would not be able to invade forward.

"My Yicheng food is barely enough for the soldiers guarding the city to eat half full, I heard that Shu County Taishou escorted 100,000 food and salary, which should be enough for the army to eat for half a month. I think with the strength of General Ouyang, it won't take half a month to defeat the Tubo army. ”

Li Haobai's arrogance and contempt made the generals of other states and counties present very unhappy. came from afar to help defend the city, but they didn't pull out a dime, and they all began to talk about it.

"My Shu County has also been plagued by famine for many years, and it is also a barrier against the Tubo army, and the consumption is not less than that of your Yicheng. Now the people of Shu County have five empty rooms, and the 100,000 grains are still too hard to raise. We are here to help you defend the city, but you asked me to pay for Shu County, are you embarrassed? General Shujun's words were fierce.

"Help me defend the city? What a joke, Yicheng is the city of the Celestial Empire, aren't you a citizen of the Celestial Empire? ”

"You..."

"Which county in the Celestial Empire is the richest should contribute more."

"Jiangning County is the richest state and county after Chang'an Luoyang, why don't you see Jiangning County in this westward expedition!"

"Yes, Jiangning County, it should contribute more."

A group of people were chattering and arguing, but Ouyang Jing just watched, before the battle started, the internal chaos was like this, the orders were not even, how to win the battle.

"Jiangning County pays the most taxes every year, and in this westward expedition, my Jiangning County has supplied the army with 200,000 crossbow arrows and 100,000 taels of military expenses. Moreover, the rations of my 50,000 soldiers in Jiangning County are also solved by themselves, who will say that Jiangning County has little effort? "Fang Cun is also based on reason.

"Shut up." Ouyang Jing scolded loudly, and the big tent suddenly became unusually quiet. "The Tubo army is only a hundred miles, and it is ready to move, but you are arguing here, what kind of system will it become."

"The Tibetan army is in front, and there is a rebel blue wolf clan on the flank, and the trouble on this flank must be solved before the decisive battle with the Tubo army. The blue wolf clan has received the support of the Tubo country, and now there are no less than 30,000 wolf soldiers, and they are good at jungle warfare. "Li Haobai, the Taishou of Yicheng, is familiar with the Blue Wolf Clan, and has fought many battles with it, but he has not been able to exterminate it. I want to see how the generals from the capital of the Celestial Empire defeated the heroic and warlike blue wolf army.

"Who wants to fight?"

Ouyang Jing said a word, and the tent was silent, he had already seen that the reinforcements coming from various counties had their own thoughts, and no one wanted to be the first to fight.

"The last general is willing to fight against the blue wolf clan."

Chu Liuyun saw that all the generals were silent, so he stepped forward to receive the order.

"The last general is willing to lead 20,000 soldiers in the border city to obey the orders of the vanguard general."

Border City only sent 20,000 soldiers this time, and they were all veterans of a hundred battles, and they did not really come to support Yicheng, but to protect Chu Liuyun and help him make contributions.

Someone took the initiative to ask for battle, Ouyang Jing naturally readily agreed, and then ordered Chu Liuyun to lead a new army of 1,000 in his headquarters, plus 20,000 soldiers in the border city to fight against the Blue Wolf Clan, and the rest of the men and horses to help in the battle.

Chu Liuyun's tent, the generals of the border city gathered together.

"Uncle Cousin, I didn't expect you to come in person."

Chu Liuyun respectfully saluted a middle-aged general. This person is Chu Liuyun's cousin, Chu Xiong, the cousin of Chu Yunxiao, the general of the border city. Chu Xiong has followed Chu Yunxiao in the border city for many years, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and is also a fierce general, so he has Chu Yunxiao's trust, so he will send Chu Xiong to help Chu Liuyun.

"It's all my own family, I don't come, no one comes. This time, the general asked me to assist you in making meritorious contributions, so that you can gain a foothold in the capital and try to make a long-term plan. Chu Xiong continued. As far as I know, the leader of the Blue Wolf Clan, the Blue Wolf King, originally belonged to the Celestial Empire, and he suddenly turned against him a few years ago, but he only fought a few battles against Yicheng, but did not harass other states and counties. I think that this blue wolf king's defection has something to do with the Wing City Taishou. Yicheng Taishou once sent a large army to exterminate the blue wolf clan, but it has not been successful, presumably the blue wolf soldiers are also a little brave, we should not take it lightly. ”

"What can Uncle Cousin do?"

"I heard that the new army trained by Liuyun is not only good at formation, but also good at bows and crossbows, I can lead five thousand soldiers as the vanguard to engage with it, you lead the rest of the men and horses to line up, and when the blue wolf army enters the firing range, you will attack with all your strength, and you will definitely be able to defeat the blue wolf army." Chu Xiong said.

Fang Jue returned to his tent, and Fang Cun came to see Fang Jue for a long time. Fang Cun already had a grudge against Fang Jue, if it wasn't for the dialect dispatch, he wouldn't want to come here at all. Since he came, Fang Cun naturally had to follow the instructions of the dialect, one is to protect Fang Jue thoroughly, and the other is to help Fang Jue make meritorious contributions.

"Father, it's good." Fang Jue asked.

"The master is very good, but he is worried about the young master, the master specially instructed his subordinates to bring a message to the young master, this expedition to the west, not to seek merit, but to seek no danger. As long as the young master goes back safely, it will be the biggest victory. Fang Cun spoke unabashedly, in his heart, even if Fang Jue was appointed as a vanguard general, he was still a gentleman who did not learn or know. As long as he doesn't pee his pants when he goes to the battlefield, fortunately, Fang Jue is self-aware today and didn't take the initiative to ask for battle, otherwise he would have to be embarrassed.

"Don't seek merit, but seek no danger." Fang Jue snorted. "In this way, you brought 50,000 armor soldiers with you, just to protect me."

"The intention of the subordinates to come is indeed so. As for the Tubo army, the army of the Free Imperial Court dealt with it, and my Jiangning County was peaceful and war-free all the year round, and many of them were newly recruited soldiers, if they went to the battlefield, most of them would only add a few heads. ”

To put it bluntly, the truth is exactly what he said. Many of the soldiers brought over by Fang Cun were new recruits.
