For Xiang Ping's love, it is not only the military generals under Xiang Ao's command. There is also Ma Jun of the Ministry of Engineering, which Xiang Ao values the most, Ma Jun ensures Xiang Ping's safety, and every year he will tailor a set of alloy armor suits for Xiang Ping that are all smelted from meteorites outside the sky.

At this time, Xiang Ping was covered in armor, except for the helmet on his head, which did not cover his face, from head to toe, he was wrapped in jet-black armor. A slightly shorter steel spear similar to Xiang Ao's spear stood beside Xiang Ping, although Hu Zhao on the side agreed to Xiang Ping's battle, but for Hu Zhao, only when he saw Xiang Ping wearing Ma Jun's customized armor, Hu Zhao felt a lot more at ease.

Jiao Meng, who was sent back to Taiyuan by Xiang Ao, has been standing beside Xiang Ping, his eyes constantly looking around, guarding Xiang Ping's safety. And from looking down on Yuan Shao, the famous generals Geng Wu and Min Chun, who defected from Jizhou, were also arranged by Hu Zhao to become Xiang Ping's deputy generals, and even guards.

Jiao Meng didn't think anything about Hu Zhao's arrangement, and Jiao Meng felt that it was his duty to protect Xiang Ao's son, who he regarded as his eldest brother. However, Geng Wu and Min Chun, who were newly invested, were slightly unhappy and even dissatisfied in their hearts. Geng Wu and Min Chun were both generals of Han Fu in the past, and after Han Fu surrendered to Yuan Shao, Geng Wu and the two resigned to Yuan Shao and lived in seclusion in Jizhou.

When Yuan Shao sent troops to Youzhou and began to compete with Xiang Ao for Youzhou, the two who were optimistic about Xiang Ao came to Bingzhou and joined Xiang Ao. It's a pity that Xiang Ao was on the front line at that time and didn't know it, and Hu Zhao had already discovered the family that was secretly waiting for an opportunity, so he left the two of them in case of emergency.

"Chief!" Xiang Ping turned around and said aloud to Hu Zhao with great respect: "The rebels of the family are so besieged but not attacked, but they want to force my father to distribute troops and interests, and it seems that they do not intend to attack. The last general thought that when the troops were sent out of the city and the rebels were taken by surprise, it would definitely work! ”

Hu Zhao, who was standing in front of Xiang Ping, did not answer, took two steps forward, came to the edge of the city wall, and looked at the rebels of the family ten miles away from Jinyang City, his brows furrowed slightly. However, the eyes of Geng Wu and Min Chun behind Xiang Ping lit up.

"What the little general said is extremely true!" Geng Wu stepped forward, hugged his fists at Hu Zhao and said: "The army of the family is just a gathering of its slaves, and regardless of the armor, I am afraid that the soldiers under his command have not undergone formal training, and they are nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of the elite under the command of the lord." Even if most of the elite divisions of the lord are on the front line, with the excellent armor of the reserve army and the city defense army, they can also slaughter the so-called family army in front of the battle. ”

Although Geng Wu and Min Chun are not ranked among the generals of Jizhou, they are also famous generals in Jizhou. can get the approval of the two famous generals, but Xiang Ping seems extremely calm and does not have the slightest smugness. It's just that Dian Man and Jiang Ren behind Xiang Ping looked extremely excited. If his father can stand on the battlefield and follow the little master like his father, he will be able to become famous all over the world.

Jiao Meng turned his head slightly, looked at Dian Man and Jiang Ren, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and secretly thought: Two rabbit cubs, if it weren't for my young children, how could you two be capable? But when Ah Wei and Ah Yan come back, you two will be guilty. Jiao Meng thought so, curled the corners of his mouth without a trace, and smiled slightly.

Seeing Hu Zhao's hesitation, the frustrated professor on the side paused, also took a step forward, came behind Hu Zhao and said: "Sir, what General Geng Wu said is true, the little general's request for war may be considered." ”

"Even so, you can't rush out of the city. After all, this leader is the future star of our state, so you must be cautious! Hu Zhao turned his head to look at Xiang Ping, his expression uncertain, as if he believed Xiang Ping, but at the same time, he was extremely worried.

Seeing this, Jiao Meng hugged his fists at Hu Zhao and said: "Please rest assured, if you need to fight for the first time, the last general will ensure the safety of the little master!" ”

Jiao Meng's ability, even Geng Wu and Min Chun, who were a little unconvinced in their hearts, admired it. Although Geng Wu and Min Chun are not known for their martial arts, but the two work together, even Yan Liang or Wen Chou under Yuan Shao are difficult to win the two alone. But under Jiao Meng's hands, the two of them can only resist with all their might.

Hu Zhao looked at Jiao Meng who was talking again, his expression was still hesitant, and he even blamed Jiao Meng a little.

Xiang Ping also understood Hu Zhao's worries, and hugged his fists at Hu Zhao again and said: "Since the chief official has promised the last general to be the chief general yesterday, and also asked the chief official to let Xian, this battle to defend the city, is it good to let the last general command?" ”

Xiang Ping's voice sounded, making Hu Zhao and the others stunned. Although Hu Zhao promised Xiang Ping to let Xiang Ping be the main general yesterday, everyone knew that the little master was still too young and needed to be honed. Let Xiang Ping serve as the main general, but it is just a name, and the commander who guards the city is still dominated by Hu Zhao. Everyone never thought that Xiang Ping would say such words at this time, and even suspected of forcing the palace to seize power.

Xiang Ping didn't seem to feel that it was inappropriate, straightened his waist, and said with a straight face: "Before the battle, the commander of the three armies needs to be unified." On the battlefield, the fighter plane is momentary, and there is no room for us to hesitate. The last general is bold, please let the chief let Xian, and hand over the defense of the city to the last general! ”

Xiang Ping said, clenched his fists and bowed, expressing his respect for Hu Zhao, and at the same time, the confidence and certainty in the language reached everyone's ears word for word.

For Xiang Ping's somewhat unreasonable request, Hu Zhao was not the slightest dissatisfied. Although Xiang Ping is the young master of a group of military generals, when he is forced, he also makes Xiang Ping's posture as Hu Zhao's student, and also saves Hu Zhao enough face. And Hu Zhao's uncertainty was not that he was worried about Xiang Ping's seizure of power, but that he was really worried about Xiang Ping's safety after he went to the battlefield.

After all, now the lord of the state, Xiang Ao's heir is only Xiang Ping, and there is no room for the slightest mistake.

Xiang Ping's request is very reasonable in the eyes of everyone. The upright frustration greatly agreed, but since Xiang Ao had not made any meritorious achievements, he didn't dare to say more. Moreover, since Xiang Ao entered the state, Hu Zhao has been following, handling the affairs of the rear for Xiang Ao, and the power is not small, and it is not easy to say much.

"Madame has arrived!"

Just when Hu Zhao hesitated, there was a coquettish shout from under the city tower, Hu Zhao turned his head to look, and saw Cai Yan slowly ascending the city tower accompanied by Xiaoya.

"Zhao (we) have seen Madame!"

"Hello guys!" Cai Yan replied with an indifferent expression.

"The rebels will attack Jinyang City from time to time, and the top of the city tower is the most dangerous place, and I ask my wife to leave quickly to ensure safety." Hu Zhao admonished Cai Yan very respectfully, and even had a little awe for Cai Yan in his words. Although Hu Zhao took care of the rear for Xiang Ao, where the general's mansion was located, Cai Yan's actions were not only generous and decent, but also often relieved the people and redressed the grievances of the people in the suspected cases that Hu Zhao had too late to deal with.

Cai Yan's posture of the Virgin has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Bingzhou, and compared with Xiang Ao, who often fights abroad, the people have more respect and love for the lady of the general's mansion that they can see from time to time. Moreover, Cai Yan not only behaves properly, but also knows how to advance and retreat. What should be managed and what should not be managed, Cai Yan has never overstepped his authority. Coupled with Cai Yan's respect for the old ministers who have followed Xiang Ao for many years, it also made the courtiers under the General's Mansion admire and respect Cai Yan from the bottom of their hearts.

"The chief is worried!" Cai Yan smiled lightly and said, "With the chiefs and generals by their side, how can the concubine be worried about her life?" ”

Cai Yan's praise without a trace made everyone feel relieved, but also smiled bitterly. Do you continue to persuade and acquiesce that you are not capable of protecting your wife? Everyone had to be silent for a while, waiting for Cai Yan to explain his intentions.

"Ping'er meets her mother!"

Cai Yan turned to look at Xiang Ping, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Xiang Ping: "Your father is a masterpiece of today, and he is an immortal hero. At a young age, Ping'er plans to follow your father's example, and her mother is very relieved! ”

"But Ping'er must remember that what your father did in his life was for the people of the world." Cai Yan held his hands in front of his waist, and continued in a soft but firm voice: "Ping'er needs to remember, don't be stupid, and ignore the safety of the people. ”

"Mother, don't worry! Ping'er strictly follows the teachings of her father and mother, and does not forget her father's original intention of starting a business! ”

Cai Yan nodded with satisfaction, turned to the group of ministers and continued to say: "Please also assist the concubine and the husband with all your heart, and keep the peace of the party!" ”

"We will follow the teachings of our wife!"

"Thank you here!" Cai Yan bowed again, got up and continued: "You also have to protect your own safety, don't let your husband lose his good talent!" ”

"Mrs. Xie is worried!"

Cai Yan looked around, nodded slightly, turned around and took the little girl, and slowly left the Jinyang City Tower. Hu Zhao and the others all bowed down to see them off, waiting for Cai Yan to disappear from everyone's field of vision. Hu Zhao took a deep breath and ordered to everyone: "The generals will listen to the order, and lead Xiang Ping to be the main general of this battle and lead the three armies." But whoever keeps commanding... No mercy! ”

Hu Zhao had a calm face and shouted in a fierce voice: "Even if it is me, it is the same!" ”

"The last general commands!"

With the sound of Lang Lang coming from above the city tower, the rebellious family was about to usher in a devastating blow. After Xiang Ping received the order, he did not delay, and delivered the plan he had thought of before with a military order.

There were not many defenders in Jinyang City, only 2,000 city defense troops and 1,000 reserve troops in Tuntian. However, there are a lot of defensive equipment in Jinyang City, and the armor of the three thousand soldiers and horses is also elite to the extreme. Xiang Ping did not support the big one, and put all the most sophisticated armor sent by the Party Work Department that had not yet had time to be sent to the front line on the lowest-level soldiers in the Bingzhou army.

Even so, within the 2,000 city defense army, there are also elite warriors who followed Xiang Ao in the south to fight in the north. Although there are not many, there are 500 special operations troops in front of them. In the face of the army of families who are not good at fighting, but have a large number of people, Xiang Ping's strategy is also simple. Although the family wanted to use this method to seek benefits for themselves and did not want to tear their faces with Xiang Ao, Xiang Ping had no intention of making peace.
