The "newspaper" scout Pegasus came to the carriage and reported: "General, the former army found the county order of Huijing County, and brought 100 altars of fine wine and 100 good horses, saying that it was to give the general a strong trip."

"Tell Sun Yu to accept the horses and wine, and the army will continue to move forward, and there is no need to stop" What does the county order mean when he comes to march for the army? In fact, Wang Xu is not worried that the county order of Huijing County will send troops to make trouble, this place is as empty as a wilderness, it is extremely difficult to ambush the soldiers, and now he has added another fierce general, why are you afraid of the county soldiers? If he dares to come, he will not come back. The army did not stop, and after receiving the horses and wine, they marched south; When Wang Xu's army walked away, beside the official road, two old men with a team of soldiers were still watching there.

"Lord County Commander, is this the matter that the prince has explained?"

The county commander of Huijing County smiled and said: "Even the two thousand private soldiers of the three major families in Wanling County can't help Wang Xu, how can we be opponents, do you know that there is a young general in Wang Xu's army, which is extremely fierce, he killed three generals of the three major families in three rounds, and slaughtered two thousand private soldiers of the three major families with the power of one person, which is fierce; Is there anyone among my Hui Jing County sergeants who can beat him? "Then the county commander doesn't have to grovel so much to please Wang Xu; You must know that you are the head of a county, why do you surrender yourself."

The county commander sighed and said: "What do you know, yesterday the scout detective reported, Wang Xu subdued another fierce general, this person has a rough face and infinite strength, and he fought with that young general for 300 rounds and won or lost; It's better to befriend Wang Xu than to be an enemy of Wang Xu."

Minglan County

Minglan County is located in the west of Jingliao, which is the only way for Wang Xu's army to enter Jingliao County, and is also an important town in Guxi County. This is very famous in Guxi County, so Minglan County is different from other counties, Wangcheng concession, Minglan County can recruit 2,000 soldiers, in addition to garrisoning Minglan County, but also garrison in Languan.

The county order of Minglan County is named Zhu Huan, who is the father-in-law of the son Zhou Yi, and was named Minglan Hou, this Minglan County is his fiefdom, and Wangcheng licensed Zhu Jiayong Town Minglan, hereditary replacement; is also the confidant of the son.

Originally, there were 2,000 soldiers and horses in Minglan County, but the army consumed a lot of money, so Zhu Huan reduced 1,000 soldiers and horses. But half a month ago, he received a secret letter from the prince, saying that Wang Xu must be killed; At first, Zhu Huan didn't think about it, but after hearing that Wang Xu had defeated 2,000 soldiers and horses of the three major families in Wanling County a few days ago, Zhu Huan immediately recruited another 2,000 recruits. When the county commander of Huijing County sent someone to deliver a message, saying that Wang Xu had subdued another fierce general who could fight with Sun Yu for 300 rounds outside Huijing County, Zhu Huan summoned all the generals and strategists in the county overnight to discuss countermeasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must already know that Wang Xu's army is less than twenty miles away from my Languan at this time, and a Sun Yu has already achieved it, and now there is one more Zhang Meng, if you want to kill Wang Xu, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky" Zhu Huan sat on the main seat of the county government and said worriedly. The county government of Minglan County is very different from other county offices, and there is only one desk in the lobby of other county offices, but the county government of Minglan County is the Hou Mansion of the Hou Ye, which is unusually large, a copper case stands on it, and dozens of slightly smaller copper cases are placed on both sides of the lobby, and there are various musical instruments on both sides, which is very magnificent.

"Hou Ye don't have to worry, my Minglan County is not as small as Wanling and Huijing, we have the danger of Languan, the blessing of Mingshan, then Wang Xu wants to pass through Languan must pass through the official road of Mingshan, our army has 3,000 soldiers, as long as the ambush is planted on both sides of Mingshan, let him Wang Xu have thousands of troops and horses, and he will never think about coming" The person who spoke was named Cai Wenzhuo, who was the strategist of Minglan County.

As soon as Cai Wenzhuo's words fell, a strategist got up and said: "Back to the Hou Ye, what Lord Cai said just now is extremely true, but I feel that I should think of a more perfect way to ensure that nothing goes wrong; I think that Wang Xu is not so easy to kill, in the battle of Wanling County, Sun Yu alone wiped out two thousand private soldiers of the three major families, and came and went freely in the valley ambushed by the three major families, his courage and martial arts are really rare in the world, and it is even more worrying, that Wang Xu actually subdued such a fierce general outside Huijing County, and his military power is not weaker than that of my Minglan County. ”。

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry too much, my father just received a secret letter from the prince, the prince has enough confidence to seize the royal city, just wait for the opportunity to start, the prince let us no longer have to pretend to be a bandit to rob and kill Wang Xu, just rest assured to kill him" The person who spoke was Zhu Huan's only son, named Zhu Yu, who was also outstanding in martial arts, and was deeply loved by Zhu Huan, and all the military and political power in Minglan County was in Zhu Yu's hands.

Cai Wenzhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, got up and said: "Master Hou, if this is the case, then we are completely sure, even if the Mingshan ambush fails, our army can still retreat to Languan, even if we can't defeat him Wang Xu, our army will defend the pass, then Wang Xu will never think of getting through this Languan even if he has great ability."

A strategist also got up and echoed: "Yes, yes, those who make good use of soldiers don't worry about victory and defeat first, even if Languan is lost, our army can still retreat to Minglan County and be invincible, why not be afraid of that Wang Xu."

Everyone's analysis, Zhu Huan listened to it and nodded again and again, changed the worried look just now, and said with a smile: "What you adults said is right, I have three thousand armor soldiers in my hand, and I have a strong pass to guard, how can Wang Xu be afraid."

A Confucian scholar came out from the last seat of the strategist, and said coldly: "Master Hou, if you want to kill that Wang Xu, why do we have to do it ourselves, there is a plan below, Master Hou can break that Wang Xu's body into ten thousand pieces without a single soldier."

Zhu Huan looked up, frowned, and said, "Liang Qing, you rarely offer ideas on weekdays, why do you speak wildly today, you can tell me about it."

Liang Qing sorted out his thoughts and said confidently: "Back to Hou Ye, a few days ago, in order to recruit soldiers, we robbed and stopped more than 50,000 refugees, and now the soldiers have finished selection, and it is useless to keep them, so it is better to tell them, just say that there are tens of thousands of denier of grain outside Ming Mountain, let them rob it, Hou Ye, please imagine, in the face of 50,000 refugees, how should Wang Xu resist?" Even if one person spits on him, he can drown him, what does Hou Ye think about this? ”

Zhu Huan asked suspiciously, "Why are you so sure that those refugees will go to rob Wang Xu's military rations?" What if they don't go? ”

Liang Qing continued: "Hou Ye don't have to worry, the prince can arrange for the soldiers on both sides of Ming Mountain, if they dare to retreat, he will order the soldiers to open their bows and arrows, Hou Ye, do you think they are willing to go forward to eat food, or come back to die?" ”

"Okay, good strategy, Master Hou, Wen Zhuo thinks that this plan is feasible, even if he fails to kill that Wang Xu, it can also make them lose their vitality, which is very beneficial to our future battles" Cai Wenzhuo also got up and said.
