Western capital.

Wenyuan Pavilion and Wuying Hall are preliminarily set up, but the talents are still carved, there are only so pitiful dozens of people, Wang Xu thought about it, and finally decided to choose among those homeless, nearly 300,000 homeless, so that there is not even a single talent.

The hard work paid off, three days after the notice was hung out, good news came, Wenyuan Pavilion and Wuying Hall were replenished with fresh blood, and hundreds of new people were added, but Wang Xu was not happy, because he had investigated on the spot, these hundreds of people were not really virtuous, Wen was not as good as Murong Yuan, and Wu was not as good as the five Wuying Palaces that were sealed earlier.

Oh my God, are all the virtuous dead? It's really easy to get a thousand troops, and none of the 300,000 people are satisfied.

It seems that talent is something that can not be found, Wang Xu finally accepted his fate and no longer deliberately looked for it, maybe one day if he is lucky, he can meet it directly on the street.

After taking a turn on the school field and looking at the combat strength of all the soldiers, Wang Xu nodded with satisfaction, Huang Quan, Qiancang, Min Ling and others worked very hard to train soldiers, and the training methods were all in accordance with the previous regulations.

Running ten miles in the morning, and then training in the afternoon for spear assassination, the use of horizontal swords and shields, and bow and arrow shooting, especially Qin Shuang's troops, have already begun to learn the formation method, Wang Xu also looked at it carefully, it was very good, I think it should be taught by Li Zhi.

Because Li Zhi and Qin Shuang's camp tents were tied together, Li Zhi would return to the barracks every afternoon for regular training, and over time, Qin Shuang also began to arrange the formation, and the cloth was still presentable, which made people see their blood churning.

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

On this day, Lu Yang actually sent a messenger to come, and the envoy's arrogant posture made Wang Xu very angry, if it weren't for Zhang Xue and Liao Yun in Languan. I would have beheaded that guy a long time ago.

The envoy said that after the beginning of spring, the imperial court would send 500,000 troops to the west, and then Wang Xu should lead all the troops to help in the war, otherwise. As soon as the imperial army arrived, Zhang Xue was the shield.

, I really think Lao Tzu is easy to bully, don't let me get a chance, otherwise it doesn't matter who you are Lu Yang or who. All dead!

The envoy also said, "King Wen should not go to great lengths to save Miss Zhang, no matter how many people you send, you will not be able to get close to Miss Zhang's room; King Guxi will take good care of her for you, every day the delicacies of the mountains and seas, what do you want, as long as King Wen sends troops to help the war and blocks the imperial army, Miss Zhang, we will definitely send it back. ”

Angry is angry, but Wang Xu didn't show his emotions on his face. Because Zhang Xue was still in the hands of others, Wang Xu had to send the messenger away with a smile, and when he left, he gave the messenger 200 taels of silver, which was regarded as a reward.

Seeing that the messenger walked out of the Chengqian Hall like this, the sword in Ye Xiong's hand tightened: "Lord, this person is too hateful, kill!" ”

Wang Xu shook his head: "Forget it, he is also acting on orders, so why should we embarrass a messenger." ”

"What about Zhang Xue and Liao Yun?"

Wang Xu said: "Withdraw all the Jinyi guards, Lu Yang has already regarded Xue'er as the trump card in his hand." He will not let you succeed easily, and you do not need to die in vain. ”

"No."

Ye Xiong seemed to have something to say, but he wanted to say it again and again, Wang Xu looked at it and said directly: "Say it." There is nothing to hide between us. ”

Ye Xiong said: "My lord, I have already explored the 500,000 troops who will come to the west in the spring next year, and their strength is indeed strong, I am afraid we will not be able to resist it." ”

"Where's the toughness?"

Ye Xiong said: "This 500,000 army is currently stationed in Ao Bing City outside the imperial capital, and is led by the great general Yu Yuan; Each of their soldiers has been in the army for nearly ten years and is already a veteran. He obtained information from the six princes, and their most powerful was the elite chariot troops and cavalry, and once they were deployed, they were invincible. ”

Wang Xu closed his eyes tightly, his heart was shocked, 500,000 troops, don't you want to be so crazy, even if you have a 100,000 elite to test the water first, this is really going to force yourself to a dead end, what is he, Wang Xu scolded in his heart.

Seeing that Wang Xu didn't react, Ye Xiong continued: "Among the 500,000 troops, there are 350,000 infantry troops, 90,000 cavalry, 50,000 chariots, and the remaining 10,000 are soldiers in charge of logistics, but they are also elite soldiers. ”

Wang Xu took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "The strength is very strong, are you afraid?" ”

Ye Xiong looked resolute and said: "I am not afraid of the humble position, as long as the lord orders it, the humble position is willing to be the vanguard!" ”

Wang Xu was very moved, waved his hand, and let Ye Xiong withdraw from the main hall.

Now he has to think about it, a big war with the imperial court is inevitable, but what to use to fight with others?

If you want to defeat such a 500,000 elite army, unless you have more than 2 million recruits, but, 2 million, where to find it, even if you find it, where will the food come from, these are all unrealistic, Wang Xu directly didn't want to.

At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, Wang Xu came to the city wall of the outer city under the protection of a team of Yulin troops, at this moment he still can't stop fantasizing, fantasizing that it would be good if there were modern advanced weapons, even if there are thousands of catties of huoyao, you have to blow up those bastards, see who dares to fight the Western Capital.

I want to think about it, but how can it be made here, sulfur and charcoal are easy to find, but saltpeter has never been seen, Wang Xu also asked Ye Xiong to look around, but people don't even know what saltpeter is.

The manufacture of huoyao is actually very simple, that is, these three materials are pressed into grinding powder, and then evenly distributed, but simple is simple, but there is no material, to make a fart.

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

On the city wall, countless homeless people are moving stones to build the wall, those people are in tatters, their heads are sweating, now it is winter, wearing so much clothes can be tired and sweating, you can imagine how tired, but the homeless people have no complaints, they are all buried in hard work.

Wang Xu is so cute and tired when he looks at these homeless people now, just for the two gruel meals a day, but Wang Xu knows that they have no choice, everything is for survival.

Wang Xu understood them very well, and sighed quietly: "There is only so much I can help you, two meals of gruel a day, I hope you can last until next autumn's harvest." ”

Finally, Wang Xu took Yulin Jun and walked down the city, because it was almost dark at this time, and it was time to go back to the palace.

But that's when the violence happened...

A soldier with a long whip knocked an old man of nearly sixty years old to the ground, and the stone in the old man's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"Bang bang...", two more whips, and the soldier shouted: "Get up, get to work, this section of the wall will not be finished, and you are not allowed to eat." ”

Seeing the old man being beaten like this by the soldiers, a delicate-looking, fourteen-year-old girl cried and pounced: "Dad, don't fight, Dad..." ”

Wang Xu was instantly furious, it was unreasonable that such a thing would happen on his own territory!

The original intention of taking in these homeless people was to save these homeless, if they continue to fight like this, they won't even have their lives, and they will save a fart! What is the difference between this and murder.

"Stop, you bastard, take it for me!"

Wang Xu shouted violently, and the two Yulin soldiers behind him quickly rushed over, and the soldier with the long whip in his hand was thrown to the ground and knelt in front of Wang Xu. (To be continued.) )
