In the spring season, in the city of Languan in Guxi County, a fast horse flew out, and the 800-mile fast horse quickly arrived in the Western Capital.

After the fast horse arrived in the Western Capital, he directly sent the military information to the Chengqian Palace.

"Newspaper... Front-line military intelligence! The soldier stumbled into the main hall.

At this time, Wang Xu was discussing with the ministers about sending troops, and when he saw the soldiers coming, he immediately asked.

"My lord, the general of the imperial court, Ao Yuntian, led his troops to attack Languan urgently, and Languan was in a hurry." After the soldier said this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, his body relaxed, and he immediately fainted.

Hearing the news, there were happy, worried, and excited people in the hall, and everyone's mood and reaction were different.

Wang Xu waved his hand and motioned for the Yulin Army to carry the soldier who reported the news down.

Wang Xu was a little surprised at the moment, Liao Yun actually sent someone to report the news, which means that Languan is indeed in danger! Otherwise, how could Liao Yun give the credit for defending the city to other generals in the Western Capital.

Languan is garrisoned by Liao Yun's 30,000 soldiers, plus the heaven-sent land, there is no problem in holding hundreds of thousands of troops, at least for a short time, but it is a bit strange to report an emergency at this moment.

Han Shushu looked rigorous and said: "Lord, Languan must not be lost, he not only guards the imperial capital and the western capital, but also its dangerous place, once it falls into the hands of the imperial court, even if we have thousands of soldiers and horses, it will be difficult to enter." ”

Wang Xu is also a little worried at the moment, the most powerful part of the terrain of Languan is not to prevent the army from the east, just imagine, if the imperial court gets the land of Languan, then with the official road of the Heavenly Danger Mingshan, Wang Xu will not be able to pass even if he has more soldiers and horses.

Languan was built to prevent thieves from entering the imperial capital from outside Guxi County! That's what he really does.

"Ordered Qin Shuang, there is no need to come to the Western Capital to return to the division, go directly to Languan to garrison, and tell Qin Shuang and Liao Yun. It is incomparably good to close the Languan, lose the city, and the sin of ten thousand deaths! ”

After Wang Xu figured it out, he immediately ordered.

After dealing with the affairs of Languan. Jia Hui presented the plan for dispatching troops agreed upon by the Military Aircraft Department, Wenyuan Pavilion, and the Six Ministries.

Wang Xu watched it and was very satisfied, roughly the same as he thought, but it needed to be improved a lot, especially some details. The recitals are all drawn up.

As stated in the final ensemble, Wang Xu finally ordered.

"The generals who participated in the war were as follows, Sun Yu, Qin Shuang, Fukangan, Zheng Feng, Zheng Li, Qiancang, and Min Ling. Dogdan, Korean calligraphy and painting with the army; Left-behind generals, Li Zhi, Huang Quan, Jiang Fei. ”

"This time to send troops, the king will personally recruit, during the period of leaving the Western Capital, all political affairs will be decided by the Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of War!"

Wang Xu read this and closed the movement.

Looking at the hall again, the generals who were read the Tao and went to battle with the army were full of joy. And those who were not recited were depressed, especially Li Zhi, who knew about this decision yesterday. He was rather dissatisfied.

"Lord, the last general has experienced a hundred battles, every time there is a war, he must take the lead, this attack on the imperial capital is rare in a hundred years. How can you leave me behind? Li Zhi finally couldn't help it, and said in a row, quite unconvinced.

Jiang Fei and Huang Quan don't have anything to say, one of them is the secretary of the military department, and the other is the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, and they don't have any soldiers in their hands, and their main task is to be responsible for the security of the Western Capital and the operation of the military department, so it is the same whether they follow the army or not.

Wang Xu had long known that Li Zhi would have an opinion, and he said solemnly: "General Li, the Western Capital is our base camp, and if you can take care of your home, it is already a great merit, and the battle merit will not be lower than the attack on the imperial capital." ”

Li Zhi pouted, it was obvious that he was not satisfied with this answer.

Wang Xu continued: "This is a joint decision of the Sixth Ministry, Wenyuan Pavilion, and the Military Aircraft Department, and it cannot be changed, and there is no need to discuss it again. ”

"Your task is to prevent Hu Ling in the south and Zhu Huan in the north, to prevent them from making any small moves, and the west must not be lost!"

Li Zhi sighed helplessly, he originally had a lot of ideas in his heart for this expedition to the imperial court, but at this moment, he didn't say anything.

"The last general obeys!"

Seeing that Li Zhi agreed, Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction.

Glancing at everyone in the hall, he commanded.

"After the armies of all walks of life gather in the Western Capital, they can sacrifice to the heavens."

"Qiancang and Minling are the positive and negative vanguards, with an army of 50,000 and the first to be pulled; The rest of the generals will be on standby. ”

............

After arranging the dispatch of troops, Wang Xu asked everyone to retreat, leaving only Jia Hui and Huang Quan behind.

In the study behind the Chengqian Palace.

Wang Xu looked at the two of them and said, "One of you is the head of civil officials and the other is the head of military generals, I am very relieved to hand over the Western Capital to you, but at the same time, your task is also extremely arduous." ”

The two of them expressed their stance at the same time: "Lord, please rest assured, Weichen (the last general) swears to collect the Western Capital." ”

Wang Xu got up and looked outside the house, looked around again, and when he saw that there was no one, he said in a low voice: "You not only have to prevent Hu Ling in the south and Zhu Huan in the north, but also pay attention to Lei Yan in Hexi County, if he has any moves, come and report it immediately." ”

The two were shocked at the same time, but Jia Hui thought about it and said with a smile: "The lord is suspicious, General Lei and General Sun are from the same family, they have deep feelings, and they will not rebel." ”

Wang Xu also hoped so, but he had no choice.

solemnly instructed, and the two of them agreed ruly.

"My hundreds of thousands of troops are marching eastward, and the grain and grass required are not a small number, and the dispatch of grain and grass depends on you."

"No."

The two replied without any objections, and in the past, the two were responsible for the scheduling of grain and grass.

After Qin Shuang received the urgent order, he quickly rushed towards Languan, and at the same time, five days later, Sun Yu, Qiancang and other troops rushed to the western capital, and after integrating the army, the soldiers who went out this time totaled 310,000, of course, plus the troops of Languan Liao Yun and Qin Shuang, a total of 370,000.

This is almost all the troops that Wang Xu can use at the moment, and the remaining soldiers must be stationed everywhere and cannot be moved lightly.

Wang Xu sacrificed to the sky, the earth, and the ancestors in the north school field, and swore to go on the expedition, and the 310,000 army went straight to Languan.

...............

The eastern wall of Languan.

Liao Yun stood solemnly with a long knife in his hand, and several lieutenants were closely followed by him.

Everyone looked at the imperial army outside the city and was a little worried, this time all the 500,000 elites of Aoyuntian's department came, and it has been more than ten days since they arrived in Languan, in this half month, the imperial court officers and soldiers have not stopped attacking, and there are people attacking the city every moment.

Whether it was day or night, the enemy took turns to fight, as if they were determined to capture Languan.

This time, Aoyuntian's siege equipment is unusually sharp, and so far, there have been twenty trebuchets alone! Whenever the city is attacked, the boulders emitted by the twenty trebuchets let the rain fall on the Languan city wall, and for half a month, the Languan city wall has been damaged for a long time, because of the trebuchet, Liao Yun's department also suffered heavy losses.

"General, you still have the foresight, if we don't dig that trench that is ten meters wide, I'm afraid that Languan has been lost at this moment."

Suddenly, a lieutenant said beside him.

Liao Yun felt the same way, since he got the news that the imperial court officers and soldiers sent troops, he immediately asked the soldiers to dig a trench overnight, and the trench was blocked outside the city wall to block the enemy, the trench was ten meters wide and five meters deep, and the project was so vast that it was rare in the world.
