The march to the royal city was imminent, and there was no need to hesitate, Zhang Meng and Jia Hui had already gathered two thousand personal soldiers and waited outside the west gate.

Wang Xu accompanied Zhang Xue to the city wall, this is Zhang Xue's only request, she said that only this is the place where she misses her husband, this sentence Wang Xu is not very clear, because Wang Xu doesn't know at all, last time since he left, Zhang Xue will be here every day to look at the end of the valley.

When she came to the city, Zhang Xue still didn't give up, and said, "Husband, can't you really take me with you?" ”

Holding her tightly in his arms, Wang Xu said: "Wait for me here, a year at most, a few months at least, I will definitely come back, and then we can be together forever." ”

"A year, that's a long time." Zhang Xue muttered with a sad face.

Wang Xu said: "Yes, our baby will be born in a year, you and the baby must wait for me, waiting for me to return triumphantly." ”

Zhang Xue didn't say anything more, because she knew that no matter what she said, Wang Xu would not take her on the march with her.

The two embraced each other like this

It wasn't until Jia Hui began to blow under the city that he reluctantly turned around and walked down the city tower.

Coming to the front of the army, Wang Xu turned over his horse, and finally glanced back at Zhang Xue standing on the city wall behind him, he grinned, waved his hand, and the two thousand army slowly walked towards the valley under the leadership of Wang Xu.

Zhang Xue stood by the city wall, just watching, until she couldn't see Wang Xu's back, she was reluctant to leave, and at some point, two lines of tears quietly fell.

"Is that what you are leaving?" She choked up

At this time, all the counties of Guxi County belonged to Wang Xu, and the team of 2,000 people set off from Languan through Huijing County, Wanling County, etc., a total of four county seats, and every time they passed through a county, there were county orders to come out to greet and send food, etc., but Wang Xu did not ask for it, and the army moved forward quickly, not daring to have the slightest delay.

It wasn't until five days later that the army finally reached its destination--- Qingyang County.

The area of this city is not large, but it is very solid, three zhang high, two zhang thick, there is also a suspension bridge outside the four gates, after this period of rain overnight, the moat is filled with water, if you look at it from a distance, the whole city seems to be on the water island. Because of this, Wang Xu asked Sun Yu and others to wait in the garrison here.

When he came to the city, Zhang Meng stepped forward and ordered him to open the door, the city gate opened, and the army entered, but everyone got a message that Sun Yu and Huang Quan and others were no longer in Qingyang City, and all the soldiers were transferred out of Qingyang County and stationed outside the valley thirty miles west of Qingyang County.

This news is not shocking, stationed in Qingyang County is Wang Xu's personal order, and now Sun Yu and others have not carried it out, Wang Xu is very angry, how can he learn to disobey the order, and he has learned from Zhang Meng.

As soon as his head was dark, Wang Xu turned his horse's head and headed west with two thousand soldiers, to see what Sun Yu was doing.

Jia Hui persuaded: "The lord doesn't need to be angry, maybe the battle situation has changed temporarily." ”

Wang Xu didn't speak, so let's go and ask first, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

They followed the official road to the back of the mountain col, thirty miles away, where there was a small plain, large enough to hold an army of ten thousand; At this time, a spy came to report that there was a military camp not far ahead, and Wang Xu knew that it was Sun Yu and others when he thought about it.

At this time, it was getting dark, and there was no hurry to move forward, the army stopped, Wang Xu ordered all the soldiers to rest in place, and he himself took Zhang Meng and Jia Hui, and the three of them came to a mountain col in front of them.

As soon as he went up the mountain pass, he heard Zhang Meng shouting: "This military camp is really big." ”

Wang Xu and Jia Hui also climbed the mountain col, looked ahead, and were suddenly speechless, is this still a barracks of 30,000 troops? Judging from the scale of the barracks, it covers an area of more than 50 miles, of course, it is impossible to see the head at a glance from the top of the col, but from the overall structure, the barracks in front of you should be a rectangular shape, extending from both sides, and it is impossible to see where it extends.

"Is this really Sun Yu and the others' troops?" Wang Xu couldn't believe it, when did so many people run out, although he said before leaving that he could expand the army on his own, but it was not so exaggerated.

Jia Hui pointed to the military camp in the distance, and affirmed: "That's right, this should be the military camp of Sun Yu and others, please see, the middle of the military camp is full of the handsome flag of the word 'Wang', which should be the big tent of the Chinese army, and the other four directions are filled with the banners of Sun, Huang, Qin, and Li, which should be the camp of Sun Yu and others." ”

If you look closely, it's true, but it's unbelievable.

The three of them were watching, and there were several horses running down the mountain pass, and the three of them looked back and recognized the person, it was Sun Yu, Huang Quan and others, since Wang Xu left Languan and began to march here, the four of them already knew.

When Wang Xu came to the barracks, how could they not know that when they came to Wang Xu, the four of them knelt down: "My subordinates greet the lord." ”

"Get up." Wang Xu waved his hand casually.

The four of them didn't get up, Li Zhiqin looked at Huang Quan, Huang Quan pursed his mouth, and said, "Lord, I will ask you for the guilt, transfer troops privately, and hope that the lord will be punished." ”

Wang Xu said: "What is the reason why you are doing this? ”

Huang Quan nodded, and said: "It is reported that Zhou Yi in the royal city is recruiting troops, and has recruited tens of thousands of troops, yesterday, Zhou Yi led troops out of the city, wanting to occupy the valley outside the city, that valley is the only way for our army, in order not to let our army fall into passivity, so, the four of us discussed raising troops in advance to occupy the valley and camp outside the valley." ”

"This matter should be approved by the lord, and I hope that the lord will punish him."

Wang Xu finally understood, so it was, then according to this, Sun Yu and the others not only had no fault, but had merit, that valley was easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it was not taken, it was occupied by the enemy, and the consequences were unimaginable.

"Get up, you are doing the right thing, you will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." Wang Xu said.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was finally over.

Waving their hands forward, the four of them immediately understood, and led the way to the barracks in front.

As soon as Wang Xu arrived at the barracks, Zhou Yi in the royal city knew that at this time, in a side hall, he was furious at Aguche, and said that he would occupy the valley and mobilize 20,000 troops, but he was finally repulsed.

"What use do you think you can have? You can't even take a valley, why don't you die! ”

Aguche was also extremely aggrieved, in that valley, he was defeated twice, the first time he lost tens of thousands of elite cavalry, and the second time he went with an army of 20,000 and was repelled by Sun Yu's 5,000 iron cavalry.

Thinking about it, I usually clamored to lead a large army to suppress thieves, but now I think about it, it's ridiculous.

"Lord Wang, Aguche pleases!"

Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was ruthless, he really wanted to correct him now, but think about who else in the royal city was worthy of the big responsibility besides Aguche.

Finally, he sighed: "Now that the enemy is present, the matter of punishment will be left for later, you should go and train the soldiers first, but I can warn you, if you lose the next battle again, you will kill yourself without me." ”

Aguche wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and arched his hand: "The last general will obey the order." ”
