Chapter 67: Preparing for War

Li Xuanba said that he was despised, but his smile was very clean, and he did not feel despised at all.

Zhang Xutuo patted his head and said, "I forgot about this." Immediately introduced everyone in the tent.

In addition to Zhang Xutuo and Li Xuanba, there were also four people sitting in the tent, all of whom were Zhang Xutuo's deputy generals.

The person sitting in the first place on the left is called Jia Wuben, and the black-faced man opposite Jia Wuben is named Niu Jinda. Sitting between Li Xuanba and Jia Wuben is Luo Shixin, who is about the same age as Li Xuanba, but his figure is even more burly than Zhang Xutuo, plus a pair of copper bells and big eyes, which is terrifying.

The one sitting next to Niu Jinda was smiling, thin, with distinct facial features, quite handsome, after Zhang Xutuo's introduction, Li Xuanba knew that this person was Qin Qiong.

Every time Zhang Xutuo introduced someone, that person arched his hand to Li Xuanba, and Li Xuanba also returned the salute, and everyone knew each other.

Li Xuanba has always maintained his calm and composure, but his eyes wandered on Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, after all, the reputation of these two people in the later life is too loud, Li Xuanba will unconsciously take a few more looks, which makes Qin Qiong and the others a little confused, and secretly said Could it be that Li Xuanba knows himself?

"All the generals are experienced in a hundred battles, and I hope to take care of them in the future." Li Xuanba retracted his gaze and said politely.

"Lord Zhongyongwei, why should you be polite." Zhang Xutuo said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty has sent an adult to supervise the army, it is naturally because you have something extraordinary. ”

"About this." Li Xuanba smiled awkwardly and said, "When Xuanba left Luoyang, His Majesty asked me to pass on the message to the general. ”

When Zhang Xutuo heard this, he got up and walked to the tent, Qin Qiong and the others also stood up, ready to receive the order, Li Xuanba hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this is not a holy decree, and the general does not have to kneel." ”

"What does Your Majesty command?" When Zhang Xutuo heard this, he was not polite and asked.

Li Xuanba looked at Qin Qiong and the others, and said embarrassedly: "I hope that the generals will not laugh, Your Majesty means that you don't have to care about me, generals, and all actions are up to you." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and secretly said that His Majesty was obviously making fun of Li Xuanba, and actually asked Li Xuanba to preach this oracle himself.

The atmosphere in the big tent became more harmonious with the laughter, and Li Xuanba breathed a sigh of relief, secretly saying that the first step of the plan was successful.

Although the army of the imperial court is under Yang Guang's orders, it is undeniable that each team has formed its own group, and it is not a simple matter for Li Xuanba to integrate into this group, the first thing he has to do is to make everyone have a good impression of him.

Now Li Xuanba has successfully narrowed the distance with everyone through self-deprecation.

"General Zhang, the strength of the Wagang thieves is not small, and there is Wagang Village to rely on, how does the general plan to break the thieves?" After everyone laughed, Li Xuanba asked casually, seemingly to divert everyone's attention.

Zhang Xutuo returned to the main seat and sat down, frowned, and said: "There are only more than 10,000 people in the hands of this general, and it is difficult to storm Wagang, and it is even more impossible to surround Wagangzhai. Now the plan can only wait for the thieves in Wagang to come out by themselves. ”

"Don't hide it from the general, Xuanba has been in Dongjun for a few days, and through investigation, he found that the Wagang thieves have controlled many counties in Dongjun, and it is not difficult to be self-sufficient, but the general can only rely on the supply of the imperial court, and it is not a way to confront it like this." Li Xuanba said softly: "What Xuanba said is just to give the general a reference, not to persuade the general to storm Wagang, and I hope the general understands." ”

Zhang Xutuo nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder, the general also sent someone to investigate, and the situation is no different from what the adults said." However, the thieves rebelled for the sake of glory and wealth, and they would not be satisfied with the status quo and have been hiding in the village. ”

Li Xuanba arched his hand and said no more. Zhang Xutuo and Jia Wuben discussed the deployment, and gave a few more orders, and everyone dispersed.

Zhang Xutuo sent his own soldiers to send Li Xuanba back to the camp, and Luo Shixin chased after him and stopped Li Xuanba.

"Is there anything wrong with General Luo?" Li Xuanba raised his head and asked.

Luo Shixin hesitated for a moment, then arched his hand and said, "Can the adult's body still recover?" My lord used to be the first warrior of my dynasty, and I have always wanted to learn from my lord, but I wonder if I will have this opportunity in the future? ”

"Fight with me?" Li Xuanba smiled bitterly and said, "General Luo, how much does the gun in your hand weigh?" ”

"This gun is called the Overlord Gun and weighs a hundred pounds." After Luo Shixin finished speaking, he swept the overlord gun in his hand and said, "It's a little light, it's not too easy." ”

Li Xuanba was speechless for a moment, and said: "I can't even pick up the overlord gun in the general's hand now, how to learn from the general, as for the future, it is better to see if God gives Xuanba this opportunity."

Luo Shixin let out a disappointed sigh and said, "Then I wish you a speedy recovery." With that, he was ready to leave.

"General Luo." Li Xuanba stopped Luo Shixin and said, "Why don't you find General Qin to compete?" ”

Luo Shixin turned his head and said unhappily: "I have tried to compete with General Qin, but he has always refused to use all his strength, and he has no strength to fight. ”

Qin Qiong originally served under Lai Hu'er, but later, Yang Guang transferred Hu'er back to the capital, Qin Qiong went to serve under Zhang Xutuo, and Luo Shixin has been accompanying Zhang Xutuo, Qin Qiong may have some worries, so he didn't dare to use all his strength.

Luo Shixin is honest and honest, and he is the same age as himself, Li Xuanba likes him very much. However, Li Xuanba didn't have a good idea, so he could only apologize, separate from Luo Shixin, and go back to the camp separately.

Zhang Xutuo broke into pieces, brought the army into Dongjun, and set up camp unknowingly, Li Xuanba did not notice it, and the people in Wagang Village also did not notice it. When Zhai Rang received the news, Zhang Xutuo had already set up fortifications outside the camp.

"Zhang Xutuo is resourceful, can fight well, and has a lot of fierce generals under him, Yang Guang transferred this person to Dongjun, it seems that he is afraid of our Wagangzhai." After Zhai Rang heard the news, he laughed and said, "I heard that Zhang Xutuo has not tasted defeat, and I can't say that I want to meet him." ”

"Brother Zhai, don't underestimate the enemy." Wang Bodang persuaded: "We are sitting in Wagang, Zhang Xutuo's troops are insufficient, and he does not dare to attack, as long as we consume with him, Zhang Xutuo will definitely retreat without a fight." ”

"What did Boltham say?" Shan Xiongxin held a spear in his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Zhang Xutuo led the army from Changjun to Dongjun, exhausted, and now that the foothold is not stable, we should raid overnight and kill them by surprise." Brother Zhai, our purpose is to overthrow Yang Guang's tyranny, if it is because of Zhang Xutuo, who has been hiding in Wagang Village, how can we achieve great things? ”

Wang Bodang was just about to refute, but Zhai Rang waved his hand and said: "What Xiongxin said is true, Zhang Xutuo is only more than 10,000 people, and I have 30,000 soldiers in Wagang, if I can't shrink, how can I gain prestige in this troubled world?" ”

"Since the eldest brother has decided, the world is willing to lead the troops to fight." Xu Shiyun, who had been silent, said: "I heard that there is a fierce general under Zhang Xutuo, named Luo Shixin, Shiyun wants to see how many catties and taels he has!" ”

Shan Xiongxin and others also asked for their own battles.

Wagangzhai has recently defeated several armies of the imperial court, and everyone is a little arrogant, and it is inevitable that they will also despise Zhang Xutuo.

Although Zhai Rang was ready to attack Zhang Xutuo, he was not too impulsive, discussed with Wang Bodang for a while, and made a plan.

Although Wang Bodang did not approve, Zhai Rang had already decided, and when he could not object, he had to do his best to plan.
