After Song Jingang took Wei Chi Gong to see Liu Wuzhou, and asked Wei Chi Gong to show his martial arts in front of Liu Wuzhou, only to see that the double gong was impermeable by Yu Chi Gong, Liu Wuzhou praised Yu Chi Gong after seeing it, and immediately rewarded Song Jingang, and named Wei Chi Gong as a hussar general, and ordered Song Jingang to step up military training, ready to send troops to attack other forces at any time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Later, when he heard that Li Yuan had raised the banner of Jingnan in Jinyang and sent troops to attack Huoyi in the name of traitorous ministers in the court, he immediately brought his civil and military officials to discuss:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have established a country in Dingyang for a while now, but only Dingyang and dozens of surrounding towns and cities, hell is narrow, taxes are not high, plus we still want to pay tribute to the Turks every year, in order to cope with the financial crisis, the burden of the people is already very high, and your income is also reduced again and again, and you can't make ends meet. Therefore the king is ready to send an army to attack the city and plunder the land, expand our territory and increase your income. Where's it for you to think about what we should attack? Hearing Liu Wuzhou's words, the first to open the conversation was Prime Minister Lu Xinyuan:

"My lord, if it develops, in the opinion of the ministers, it is most appropriate for us to go west and attack Li Yuan's department."

"Oh! Tell me your reasoning. ”

"We have the following reasons for going west: to the south, we are facing Yang Dong and Li Mi, Yang Tong's Wang Shichong is the world's general, if it were not for him, Luoyang has long been occupied by Li Mi, and Li Mi's thief heart has not died, and he will move after waiting for the opportunity, and Yang Guang, who is far away in Jiangdu, will definitely return to Luan Luoyang for reinforcements, the Yangtze River waterway is convenient, the roads are developed, our strength is not enough, it is impossible to face the three tigers, it is not advisable. To the east, in addition to Luo Yi's department in Youzhou, Dou Jiande has already dominated Hebei, they are strong and strong, there are many cavalry, our strength is insufficient, and we just use them to contain the Turks, so that the Turks know our usefulness. Only our west Li Yuan's department is closest to us, plus he has now betrayed the Great Sui court, and the Sui court has also dug his ancestral grave, the two of them are no longer together, they fight, can consume each other's strength, in order to facilitate our attack, plus since ancient times Guanzhong is fertile soil, the king is prosperous, the dragon vein is excellent, Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng relied on it to unify the six countries, Han Gaozu Liu Bang according to Guanzhong and unified the world, that is, even the Northern Zhou Dynasty is also based on Guanzhong and the Northern Qi and peace of the world. Therefore, Weichen believes that attacking Li Yuan is the best strategy. Liu Wuzhou lowered his head and thought about it.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Song Jingang, who was present, glanced at Lu Xinyuan.

"My lord, Weichen also thinks that Prime Minister Lu's words are very reasonable. Now the Central Plains is turbulent, our strength is not enough, Guanzhong is rich in products, the people are defeated, and Li Yuan's house is the pioneer for us, and now he is trapped in Huoyi, and has not gone further, there must be a problem with grain and grass, we just have a try. Liu Wuzhou saw that the two pillars of Yiwen and Wuwu under his command thought that it was the best policy to attack Li Yuan and then take Guanzhong, and nodded.

"Song Jingang!"

"The minister is here!"

"This king asks you, how is the Wei Chigong you recommended now?"

"My lord! General Wei Chi's drills day and night have already paid off, and I am about to invite the lord to go to the parade! ”

"Oh! All right! Then let's go to the school and have a review! Liu Wuzhou, accompanied by Song Jingang and Lu Xinyuan, came to the school field, only to see the sound of killing on the school field, and Wei Chigong stood in front of a phalanx and shouted:

"One! The golden knife is on the horse! ”

"Hey!"

"Two! Fight a thousand armies! ”

"Hey!"

"Three! Sweep through the horses! ”

"Hey!"

"Four! Thunder. ”

"Hey!" Liu Wuzhou looked at the phalanx, and saw that the soldiers selected by Yu Chigong were all tall, according to the standards of later generations, all of them were more than 1.80 meters, almost tall, standing together, and moving as neatly under Yu Chigong's command, which made people feel refreshed.

"Okay!" Liu Wuzhou shouted excitedly. Wei Chigong turned around and saw Liu Wuzhou, and the others on the school field also hurriedly saluted.

"See the lord!"

"Excuse me, everyone is exempt! All right! General Wei Chi, this king sees that the sergeants under your command are so strong, but I don't know how martial arts are? ”

"Please take the entrance examination!"

"Okay! I think that the guards around me will compete with the soldiers you have trained, and offer a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, and if your men win, the silver will be yours, and if my guards win, then your position as general will be handed over! Go and be the big soldier yourself! ”

"My lord, please!" Most of Liu Wuzhou's personal soldiers were veterans selected from the whole army, and after a hundred battles, they naturally looked down on those recruits - Liu Wuzhou's personal guards called the soldiers under Wei Chigong. But none of them won, at most they will be crippled, and in their own words, if these people have been on the battlefield and shed blood, then their opponents will be completely wiped out.

"Good! It's really wonderful, this king will give the name Fenyong Battalion, Wei Chi Gong, appoint you as the vanguard general now, and lead your Fenyong Battalion to assist Marshal Song in crusading against Li Yuan, shame on you! Besides, how can a general not have a good horse? Someone! Pull up the black horse that the Turkic Khan gave me. ”

"Yes!" I saw four grooms pulling a huge cage in which a tall horse was black and hairless, and the horse was still neighing in the cage. It's like trying to get out of a cage.

"What a good horse?" Song Jingang and Wei Chi praised it.

"This is a BMW brought from the Turks, according to the Turkic envoy who sent the horse, this horse is a wild horse, mixed with the herd of horses when they were grazing, someone originally wanted to tame it, but even ten good hands on the steppe did not tame it, but it was not killed or injured, in order to put it in the cage or nearly a hundred good hands died. Whoever of you can tame it will be given to him as a reward. Hearing Liu Wuzhou's words, the generals present were eager to try, but seeing the arrogance of the horse, some people did not dare to step forward.

"What? Are there no brave men? Song Jingang stepped forward.

"King! Chancellor is willing to give it a try. After speaking, let people open the cage, Wu Hu BMW seemed to vent, and after coming out, he bumped into the people around him, and Song Jingang shouted:

"The beast is rampant!" took out a rope sleeve and wanted to take the BMW sleeve, after the BMW was trapped, he struggled desperately, but he couldn't escape the rope, Song Jingang's feet didn't move half a step as if they had taken root. The BMW was annoyed like Song Jingang crashing into it, Song Jingang dodged aside, and once again chose a reasonable position to continue wrestling with the horses. The BMW missed a blow and hit Song Jingang again, Song Jingang dodged again and again, so that the BMW could not succeed, and the BMW was also a little overwhelmed, and the surrounding sergeants shouted for Song Jingang after seeing it.

"General Song! General Song! Song Jingang felt a little proud in his heart. There was also some negligence, BMW discovered this flaw, and immediately took advantage of his inattention, and suddenly made a force, and Song Jingang was tricked. was dragged by a BMW, and everyone present was shocked. Wei Chigong shouted, quickly caught up with the BMW, rode on the horse, and clamped his legs tightly on the horse's back. Let the BMW not throw him off the horse. Both hands desperately strangled the reins of the BMW, the BMW was in pain, desperately raised its four hooves in place, and wanted to throw Yu Chigong off the horse's back, Wei Chigong let go of the reins of the horse, grabbed the mane on the BMW's neck, and did not let go. The anger in his eyes also subsided. Song Jingang was helped up, as if he had been cut by a knife, and there were blood marks everywhere.

"Good! General Wei Chi! You're such a fierce general! and the horse will be given to you. ”

"King Xie!" Wei Chigong knelt in front of Liu Wuzhou and thanked him! Wei Chigong didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes beside him watching him. Lu Xinyuan started on the side:

"My lord! The minister has a word! Although we have decided to send troops to attack Li Yuan, Shi Ji has not yet arrived immediately, and there are still some affairs to prepare. Liu Wuzhou was originally very happy, but he was a little unhappy after hearing this.

"Speak!"

"My lord! Luo Yi and Dou Jiande in our east must be pacified immediately, if our army attacks Li Yuan and takes the opportunity to advance to Guanzhong, it is very likely that they will come out, once the main force is dispatched, Dou Jiande and Luo Yi stab our army in the back, we will be doomed. ”

"And what do you mean?" Hearing Lu Xinyuan's words, Liu Wuzhou's face began to soften.

"The minister invited the initial Turks to harass the Youzhou area, contain Luo Yi's Youzhou army, and sent a man of speech to form an alliance with Dou Jiande, so he told him to take the opportunity to attack Luo Yi with the Turks and seize Youzhou. So that our rear is foolproof. ”

"Good! Lu Xinyuan, I will send you to the Turks to handle this matter, and the candidate for the envoy Dou Jiande is also up to you! "Lu Xinyuan thanks! Under Lu Xinyuan's arrangement, the Turks and Dou Jiande acted in accordance with Liu Wuzhou's intentions, and after Liu Wuzhou stabilized the rear, he ordered Song Jingang and Wei Chi Gong to lead the troops to attack Li Yuan. The two sides confronted each other at the Reed Pass Pass. After Li Yuan got the military report, he was even more anxious, and his worries and hopes for Li Jiancheng were even higher.
