Sun Yu had more than 9,000 cavalry in his hands, Li Yunhai purchased a large number of war horses from Hexi County, and Sun Yu expanded the cavalry to 10,000, and the cavalry was only suitable for field battles and could not participate in defending the city.

Li Zhi's troops had just experienced a battle with the elite soldiers of the imperial court outside the valley, and there were about 17,000 left, and they were now stationed at the north gate.

The boy scouts of dogs, a thousand people, can basically not be counted, and there is no combat effectiveness.

Zhang Meng's Yulin Army, 7,000 men, was responsible for the security of the palace and generally did not participate in battles.

There are still 20,000 in Huang Quan's department, stationed in the remaining three gates.

The above is all the strength of the Western Capital, a total of 68,000, if you add the Boy Scouts, 69,000.

After Wang Xu arranged everything, he came to the harem, and now 'Accord' is already Zhang Xue's territory, Wang Xu selected hundreds of maid rings from the harem to serve here.

Zhang Xue was lying on a rocking chair with a big belly, and Wang Xu walked over with a smile.

Zhang Xue saw Wang Xu and wanted to get up happily, but his stomach was a little big, he didn't stand up all of a sudden, Wang Xu hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said a little apologetically: "Xue'er, I'm really sorry, I'm too busy to have time to accompany you." ”

Zhang Xue shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as my husband remembers me from time to time." ”

Looking at Zhang Xue's big belly, Wang Xu reached out and touched it again, it was almost five months pregnant now, "I didn't expect the belly to be so big, it won't be a twin." ”

Zhang Xue said: "Hehe, it's good to be twins, it's best to be a man and a woman, then it's too happy." ”

The two of them were here, and Ye Xiong walked over.

"Miss Good Care." Wang Xu commanded the many maids around him.

followed Ye Xiong to the side, Ye Xiong smiled and said: "Lord, those three water thieves are willing to surrender, but they are openly asking for official positions, Qin Shuang has promised to make them generals, but the three of them are unwilling." said that he wanted to meet King Wen in person. ”

Wang Xu was overjoyed, there was finally good news, so that Xiaoting Lake was completely in his hands. And more importantly. Without the water thieves, the more than 10,000 soldiers of Qin Shuang could be withdrawn, and the Western Capital is now the time to employ people, and all the forces are urgently needed.

"Okay, tell Qin Shuang. Let him immediately take the teacher and bring the three water thieves to the Western Capital. ”

"No."

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

A few days later, Qin Shuang returned to the Western Capital, there were still 15,000 people left under his subordinates, and there was no task for the time being, Wang Xu asked him to rest with Liao Yun's soldiers in the North School Field, and now there were only 20,000 people in the school field, as well as the Boy Scouts of the dog.

The three water thieves were still waiting in the Chengqian Palace, Wang Xu did not rush to go, but went to the north school first. Finding Qin Shuang, Wang Xu said: "These three water thieves, how much do you know, tell me quickly, what kind of official position do they want to be satisfied?" ”

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Qin Shuang said indignantly: "Lord, these three boys are really big mouths, they all want to be generals, and they say that their positions cannot be lower than mine." And the lord himself will be rewarded. I wanted them to be my lieutenants, but none of them agreed. ”

Wang Xu frowned: "Then how are their martial arts and art of war?" ”

Qin Shuang nodded and said: "The martial arts are acceptable, the leader is called Zhao Long, and I will fight with him." There is no winner or loser within 100 moves; The remaining two people are named Zhao Hu and Zhao Li, and their strength is almost the same as that of Qiancang Minling. ”

Wang Xu already has a plan in his heart, isn't it a general, Lao Tzu will give it.

After saying goodbye to Qin Shuang, Wang Xu came directly to the Chengqian Palace. The three water thieves were still waiting here, the three of them were admiring the splendor of the hall, Wang Xu had just walked behind the screen, and he heard the three of them talking, Wang Xu stopped to listen.

Zhao Long is tall and straight, a talent, and his voice is extremely delicate: "Second brother, third brother, when the king of the next is here, you all try to talk as little as possible, listen to me, this is our chance, don't mess up." ”

Zhao Hu smiled: "Don't worry, big brother, if you don't let you speak, we'll sew your mouth shut and listen to your eldest brother." ”

Zhao Li doesn't have any opinions, and he rarely makes remarks.

The three of them were talking energetically, Wang Xu suddenly laughed and walked from a distance, as soon as the three of them saw Wang Xu, they immediately stepped forward to salute, Wang Xu waved his hand and smiled: "Get up, no courtesy." ”

Wang Xu's expression was very easy-going, completely self-familiar, and the three of them suddenly became good.

Wang Xu said with a smile: "I heard that you are willing to join my army in the Western Capital, but there is such a thing." ”

Zhao Long arched his hand and said: "King Wen, we are all rough people in the mountains and fields, we just want to find a good future, I hope that King Wen will be perfected, and we will die in return." ”

Wang Xu looked at Zhao Long, obviously, this is Zhao Long, the leader of the three, it's just that what Zhao Long just said wants to have a good future, isn't this a blatant desire to be an official, how can there be such a thing, if you want to be an official, you want to be crazy.

Wang Xu smiled: "You can take refuge in this king, this king is very welcome, you can rest assured about official positions, as big as you want, this king will give as much as you want, and will never let you down." ”

Zhao Long's expression was astringent, he didn't expect Wang Xu to say this, and he was immediately a little skeptical, is it really as big as he wants?

Hearing King Wen say this, Zhao Hu was a little breathless, and said with a smile: "King Wen, then what kind of official are you appointing us?" ”

Wang Xu came to the jade steps in front of him and sat down casually, and said, "I heard that you have a good way to fight on the water, I want to know, are you confident in defeating the water army of Hexi County?" ”

Zhao Long was immediately taken aback: "Is King Wen going to fight Hexi County?" ”

Wang Xu did not hide it, sooner or later this matter was to let the three of them know, Wang Xu said: "Yes, I want to set up a strong water army, worship you as generals, I hope you can defeat the water army of Hexi County, I don't know if you have confidence?" ”

Zhao Long said excitedly: "Yes, we will definitely be able to defeat the Hexi County Water Army!" ”

This is not Zhao Long's own boasting, he does have this ability, Wang Xu has already asked Ye Xiong to investigate, Zhao Long once did defeat the 10,000 water army of Hexi County with 5,000 water thieves!

Zhao Hu said: "Then how much bigger is this naval general than Qin Shuang's official position?" ”

This issue is also what Zhao Long is concerned about, they have all fought with Qin Shuang, and the three of them feel that they think that they are not much weaker than Qin Shuang, and if their official position is not as good as Qin Shuang, then this is unacceptable.

Wang Xu smiled and motioned for the three of them to sit down, Wang Xu said: "How can you be such an official, hehe, don't worry, the official position I give you is no worse than Qin Shuang." ”

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they were not worse than Qin Shuang, they had already inquired, and Qin Shuang's position in the Western Capital was not low.

Wang Xu immediately gave the three of them officials, Zhao Long as the governor of the navy, Zhao Hu and Zhao Li as the deputy governors, and all three of them were awarded the fourth rank, as for the other titles, they were not sealed for the time being, which has been exceptionally promoted.

Zhao Long had never heard of the official position of 'Metropolitan Governor', and frowned: "King Wen, what kind of official position is this Metropolitan Governor?" ”

Wang Xu said: "The governor of the capital is in charge of the navy, all the navy in my western capital are under your control, not subject to anyone's dispatch, directly under my jurisdiction, all matters related to the navy, you can call the shots, have the power of life and death!" ”

"The official position of our Western Capital is a bit different from that of the imperial court, you can go to Jia Hui for details." (To be continued.) )
