Wang Xu has also studied the people of the snow region for a long time, hearing Ye Xiong say this, he was slightly worried, Lei Yan had already arrived at Wangcheng in the afternoon with 80,000 iron horses, at this time Xiping Pass was garrisoned by Qiancang, Jiang Fei, and Goudan, and the three of them only had 30,000 men, and it was indeed a little difficult to hold the Chengguan, because Xiping Pass was not precipitous, it was newly repaired.

But the recapture of Guxi County is the first major event, and it is very important, so Wang Xu still can't increase the troops of the three of them, everything depends on themselves.

"Do you know which tribes they are?"

"My lord, there are the Yemin tribe, the Bor tribe, the Aisha tribe, and the rest of the nearly ten small tribes, each of them gathered thousands of people to gather outside Xiping Pass, if the lord crosses the river with troops, they will definitely call immediately."

Wang Xu smiled: "It's okay, there are only three big tribes, and the strength is only 30,000, and they can deal with it." ”

A trace of worry flashed in Ye Xiong's eyes: "Lord, every snowy person can ride and shoot, as long as they ride a war horse, they are the elite of iron horses, and 30,000 iron horses are already very powerful, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to resist in Qiancang." ”

Wang Xu also knew that the situation was grim, but whether he could hold Xiping Pass or not was only up to Qiancang himself., thinking that as long as he didn't go out of the city to fight with the people in the snowy region, Xiping Pass would not be so easy to lose.

Putting aside the matter of the people in the snow region, Wang Xu opened his mouth and said: "In addition to paying attention to the movements of the people in the snow region, you Jinyi Wei also have to inquire about the news of Guxi County and Yu Yuan's army. ”

"As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and we must grasp all the characteristics of the enemy when we are about to fight a big war."

"Don't worry, my subordinates have notified the general banners of Guxi County and Qingyuan County, and they will report it every day." Ye Xiong said.

"Hmm." nodded, and motioned for Ye Xiong to step back.

After Ye Xiong left, Wang Xu got up and walked towards Zhang Xue's palace.

Tomorrow is about to go on the expedition, for the sake of fairness, he is going to sleep in Zhang Xue's palace tonight, and he will also take a look at Xiao Wang Xi casually. Carefully calculated, Xiao Wang Xi is almost 100 days old, but there is no way to celebrate, when I think of this. Wang Xu felt deeply sorry in his heart.

Ruixue Palace, which was divided by the Ministry of Rites for the queen to live in, is located in the middle of the harem, symbolizing the people who live in this house and are in charge of the harem.

Walk through several palace gates. Wang Xu came here.

Zhang Xue was resting, seeing Wang Xu running out happily, Zhang Xue regretted it a little, since Wang Xu floped to Wen Mengliang, sure enough, the time to come to Ruixue Palace was much less, and I felt that Wang Xu's love for her was half lighter.

After letting all the palace maids retreat, Zhang Xue threw herself into Wang Xu's arms...

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

Hexi Wangcheng, North School Field.

Today is the day of the expedition, Wang Xu gathered all the soldiers, and the strength is as follows.

Lei Yan. 80,000 fine riders.

Sun Yu, 30,000 fine riders.

Li Zhi 30,000, Liao Yun 20,000, Zhang Meng 5,000 Yu Lin Jun.

Coupled with the Minling Department stationed in Anlan City, this time the expedition to Guxi County had a total of 180,000 foot cavalry, of which Li Zhi's department was equipped with 5,000 chariots, and its combat effectiveness was the most powerful in the infantry army.

Now Wang Xu's army has all changed into new clothes, and when he looks up, the white armor reaches the sky. It's like snow covering the earth.

"My lord, the army has been assembled." Sun Yu said on the side.

Wang Xu waved his hand, turned around and walked to the high platform, on which a giant tripod had already been placed. The giant dome is one foot high and five feet in diameter, and it is difficult for even five people to hold it.

Before going on the expedition, you must sacrifice to the sky, the earth, and the ancestors, and then you can go out to the army, a strong army. The second is to let all the soldiers.

Burning incense and worshiping, half an hour later, after the sacrifice was completed, Wang Xu slowly turned to look at all the soldiers on the school ground.

From the eyes of every soldier, Wang Xu saw a deep desire, especially those centurions, captains, and other generals, their eyes were hot, they all knew the news that Ma Lan was captured by Zhao Long, this news made the morale of the North School Field high, and they all wanted to make contributions in the next battle.

There is a master book in the army that records war exploits, and the military department has ordered that as long as the soldiers fight bravely to kill the enemy, every five soldiers killed will be promoted to captain, ten to ten, one hundred centurions, and so on; Of course, Xiang Sun Yu and Li Zhi, the main generals who lead an army alone, have other ways to make military achievements, such as killing enemy generals, blocking enemy troops, garrisons, and so on.

There is no need to worry about morale, so Wang Xu didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered the troops, the front army was served by Sun Yu, and the rear army was Liao Yun, Liao Yun's task was to escort the grain and grass, Wang Xu had already told him that as long as he could ensure that the grain and grass in Guxi County were safe and sound in this attack, it would be a great achievement!

A torrent flowed out of the Hexi Wangcheng and rushed to Guxi County, sending troops in the early morning, and by noon, Liao Yun's rear army had just left the city, which showed that Wang Xu had pressed the old capital this time, except for five thousand Yulin troops and ten thousand county soldiers, all the elites went to Guxi County.

Han Shushu served as the military advisor of the southern expedition, and all the others stayed in Hexi County.

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

Five days later, Anlan City.

The area of Anlan City is not large, and only 50,000 people can be stationed at the same time, and Wang Xu's army of more than 100,000 people cannot be stationed in the city at all, so after arriving here, he stationed all the soldiers outside the city, and then entered Anlan City with 5,000 Yulin troops and generals.

In the lobby, Zhao Long waited with a military general, and many generals all knelt in the lobby, waiting for disposal.

Seeing Wang Xu walking in, Zhao Long immediately surrendered his hand: "King Wen, please..." ”

"General Zhao, you fought well in this battle, I have already told the Military Aircraft Department to give you three ninth-class merits!" Wang Xu smiled and came to the main seat and sat down.

As soon as Wang Xu's words fell, Sun Yu, Li Zhi and others swallowed their saliva, three ninth-class merits, how much credit should it be, it is equivalent to killing several enemy generals before the battle.

Envy is envy, but everyone is also convinced by Zhao Long, when it comes to water battles, who will be present except for the three brothers Zhao Long?

However, everyone is not in a hurry, anyway, they are about to cross the river, and there are many opportunities to make war exploits.

"What about Maran? Bring Maran up. Wang Xu said.

Zhao Long was overjoyed at first, and when he heard Wang Xu ask, he cried with a sad face and said apologetically: "King Wen, Ma Lan has already committed suicide by biting his tongue, and the last general is not optimistic about the prisoner, and I hope that King Wen will be guilty." ”

Wang Xu sighed: "Bite your tongue and kill yourself, it's a pity..." ”

"You don't have to blame yourself, Ma Lan is looking for his own death, how can you stop it, it's not your fault; Even if Ma Lan is still alive, I'm afraid it's useless, it's better to die, so that the enemy will die from now on! ”

......

There are also more than a dozen enemy adjutant generals kneeling in the lobby, these people are all old generals of Ma Lan during his lifetime, although they all expressed their willingness to submit, but Zhao Long did not dare to be completely cronies, because the prestige of these tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers was too high, if it was a fraudulent surrender, then these tens of thousands of people would directly rebel, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
