Just when Liang Shidu was about to use the power of the whole country to fight to the death with the Western Regions Army of the Eastern Expedition, Liu Wuzhou, who was located in the east of Liang Shidu's forces, also faintly noticed a trace of something wrong, although he and Liang Shidu were in an antagonistic relationship at this time, but if Liang Shidu was really completely wiped out by the Western Regions Army, then he would be in an embarrassing situation. Although his subordinates can be regarded as having a large number of generals, it is only compared to Liang Shidu. If you really want to fight in the field with the Western Regions Army, it is estimated that the end will not be much better than that of the Liang Division. Therefore, in order to drag the Western Regions Army on the territory of the Liang Division's army as much as possible, and at the same time, in order to maximize the effectiveness of the Liang State as cannon fodder as much as possible. Liu Wuzhou sent a support army, and the reinforcements were numerous, more than 50,000 people, and there were countless footmen and men who worked hard and strongly. Due to the urgency of the situation, this support army did not greet Liang Shidu in advance, and drove directly into Liang Shidu's territory. But fortunately, Liang Shidu had already taken all the elites from all over the country and gathered in Shuozhou County on the Western Front. The Liang army in the various prefectures and counties left behind in the east were all wine bags and rice bags, and when they encountered the pressure of Liu Wuzhou's army, they hurriedly closed the city gate and couldn't hold out, where did they dare to send troops to intercept it? These people had to defend their own prefectures and counties, and then sent Xinying to send the news of Liu Wuzhou's army to Liang Shidu in Shuozhou County.

The messenger of Liu Wuzhou County rushed all the way, and almost arrived in Shuozhou County at the same time as Xinying. In Shuozhou County, Liu Wuzhou's messenger had already made clear to Liang Shidu the intention of sending troops this time, not to insert Liang Shidu in the back, but on the contrary, this army came to fight side by side with Liang Shidu's army as a reinforcement against the Western Regions Army. At this time, the Liang division was already too busy to take care of himself, where was the leisure and extra troops to guard against Liu Wuzhou in the east? So after hearing the messenger's words, Liang Shidu could only choose to unconditionally believe that Liu Wuzhou's intention to send troops on this trip was really to fight side by side with him, rather than waiting for an opportunity to pounce on his throat and give himself a fatal blow when he was most vulnerable.

Liu Wuzhou's status in the night stalkers is the same as that of Liang Shi, and they both belong to small forces that are not worth sending intelligence personnel to station. So at this time, Zhuang Fudi naturally didn't know that Liu Wuzhou had sent an army to help Liang Shidu. However, although I didn't know that Liu Wuzhou had sent troops to support, the information that the Liang division had mobilized the strength of the country everywhere and formed a reinforcement army of more than 300,000 people was clear under the investigation of the military owl as early as possible. So after getting this news, Zhuang Fudi naturally didn't dare to be careless. After all, he only brought three legions with him on this trip, which is less than 50,000 troops at full strength. No matter how advanced the firearms are and how well-trained, they will not be able to take advantage of the disparity between 50,000 and more than 300,000 troops. It is even possible to be defeated by such a crowd tactic, and I am afraid that Wuwei County will lose at that time, wouldn't it become a counter-erosion of rice by stealing chickens? So for the sake of insurance, Zhuang Fudi set up a defensive posture in Lingwu County. I hope to use the advanced firearms of my own firearms, and at the same time rely on the city wall defense of Lingwu County City to wear down these Liang Shidu troops as much as possible when defending. Anyway, this time the battlefield is in the territory of Liang Shidu, and when the time comes, the two sides will really fight to the death, even if they smash the flowers and plants, they will not feel distressed.

Liang Shidu is now in an extremely disadvantageous situation, although he has pulled up a team of more than 300,000 people, but most of the team is still some laborers who can only act as porters. If they were driven to the battlefield, they would only be driven back by the Western Regions army on the opposite side, and they would scatter their own camp. Moreover, these 300,000 people eat horses and chew a large amount of food. Even if Liang Shidu received three or four official warehouses from the Sui Dynasty, it would only last for more than a month at most. If it is not possible to capture Lingwu County and then disband the 300,000-strong army within a month, then there may be a cannibalism in the barracks.

Forced by this unfavorable situation, the Liang division did not have extra time to wait for Liu Wuzhou's reinforcements to arrive before launching an attack together. Instead, he ordered the 300,000 troops to march from Shuozhou County to Lingwu County, hoping that the Western Regions army stationed in Lingwu County would flee after hearing that the 300,000 army had arrived. Even if this fantastical idea cannot be achieved, then at least the army must be advanced to the vicinity of the battlefield first, and then it will either intercept and kill the logistics and transportation troops of the Western Regions Army, or directly set troops to the civilian population to grab food, which is a solution to the shortage of military food. Moreover, although Lingwu County is Liang Shidu's own territory, it is actually under the control of the Western Regions Army now. Therefore, Liang Shi was still not very disgusted and resisted by the columnists to grab food in Lingwu County. Anyway, after repelling the Western Regions Army after the war, this black cauldron will naturally be carried by the Western Regions Army, and it will not be his turn to suffer these infamy.

Although the night owl and the military owl were not aware of it, the people of the war slave trading house set up in Liu Wuzhou's territory discovered that the army of Liu Wuzhou's forces was abnormal. Later, after many investigations, I finally noticed that such an army of 50,000 people was missing. Those who had seen this army for the last time said that it was brightly armoured and marched in neat formations to the west. So he reported this information to Zhuang Fudi. After Zhuang Fudi received this information, he sent his soldiers to the border between Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou to investigate. But in the end, there was no trace of war between these two forces, and it turned out that Liu Wuzhou had already secretly communicated with Liang Shi, and at this time, Liang Shidu also sent an army as reinforcements in order to protect himself. What he did was to drag himself in the territory of Liang Shidu, and fight desperately with the army of Liang Shidu. In this way, he can reduce his threat to Liu Wuzhou.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Fudi couldn't help but laugh in his heart, Liu Wuzhou is also a famous person, and he actually knows the truth of these cold lips and teeth. And when his troops were still in the territory of Liang Shidu, he had already thought about the movements of his army after the destruction of Liang Shidu. It seems that when the chief manager was doing the distribution of rank weights, it was a mistake not to count Liu Wuzhou in the first echelon. However, although it was a mistake, Zhuang Fudi was still very confident that his army would be able to defeat the invading enemy, whether it was 50,000, 100,000 or 300,000.
