Western capital.

After a few days of marching, Wang Xu's army finally arrived in the Western Capital, which is still the same as before, with tall and majestic city walls, and busy streets and alleys, just because Wang Xu went to Hexi, but now there are not many people in Guxi County.

The arrival of Wang Xu made the people indulge in joy, and the taxes were exempted again, and all the original systems were restored, and now all the systems in Hexi County were posted in Guxi County.

"My lord, there is not a single grain of grain in the granary of the Western Capital." Li Zhi came to report.

Wang Xu nodded, this was already in his expectation, how could the officers and soldiers retreat and leave the food behind, for a long time, a trace of worry flashed on Wang Xu's face, he was waiting for Ye Xiong, at this moment Wang Xu was eager to know about the war in Qingyuan County, as well as Sun Yu and Lei Yan, the two of them were not in the western capital, and the soldiers who refused to defend the city said that they were going to the east.

"The lord doesn't have to worry, now that we are in the west, and we have Hexi County as the backing, we are no longer afraid of the imperial army, if Yu Yuan dares to come, we will meet the head-on attack!" Li Zhidao.

Unconsciously came to the south of the city, Wang Xu looked around, but saw a horse galloping outside the city, looking like the outfit, it was Ye Xiong's brocade guard.

"Open the gates of the city and let the man in."

Jin Yiwei came to the head of the city and arched his hand: "King Wen, Yu Yuan's army set off yesterday and came straight to the Western Capital. ”

"What about Lei Yan and Sun Yu?" Li Zhitu said.

Jinyi Wei said: "Yu Yuan's general Wang Jin led 100,000 troops to Languan to garrison, and General Lei and General Sun led troops to block it. ”

waved his hand to let the Jinyi guard leave, and then Wang Xu did not look back and strode towards the palace.

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

Chengqian Palace.

Wang Xu gathered everyone together and held a meeting!

The people who participated in the meeting this time were Li Zhi, Zhang Meng, Han Shushu, Liao Yun, Qin Shuang (I made a mistake before, I didn't count Qin Shuang, Wang Xu's strength in the southern expedition at the moment should be 210,000, the chapter has been released, it can't be changed, friends will just look at it, I'm sorry), Min Ling and more than a dozen military senators (Wenyuan Pavilion walking).

Told the news of the attack of Yu Yuan's army. Liao Yun said: "The lord doesn't have to worry, our strength is not the same as in the past, why be afraid of Yu Yuan?" ”

Thinking about the walls of the western capital, everyone was full of confidence. Even if you can't defeat Yu Yuan, you won't lose the city.

Zhang Meng grinned: "That old boy is so good that he is here, if he doesn't come again, we are ready to go to Qingyuan County to find him." ”

Zhang Meng's words are not crazy, Wang Xu also means this. If Hu Ling can't resist Yu Yuan, then he has to go to Qingyuan County to help in the battle, and Hu Ling can't be defeated for the time being!

Li Zhi came out and said: "King Wen, Sun Yu and Lei Yan are hanging alone, I'm worried that they will encounter Yu Yuan's main force, will they be recruited back?" ”

Wang Xu looked at the map and muttered, "If Sun Yu and Lei Yan can seize Languan, they will cut off Yu Yuan's grain route, so that Yu Yuan's hundreds of thousands of troops will be trapped in Qingyuan County, and they will not be able to defeat Hu Ling." Retreat can't return to the imperial capital, after a long time, the grain and grass will be cut off, and they will be defeated without a fight! ”

"Don't worry about him, our first task now is to defend the Western Capital, as long as the Western Capital is in hand, we can contain most of Yu Yuan's soldiers and horses."

Wang Xu analyzed the situation very thoroughly, and everyone agreed.

What we have to do now is to consume Yu Yuan's troops, and when the time is ripe, we will raise the whole army to fight against Yu Yuan! Or cut off the grain of the abyss. In this way, no matter which method succeeds, it can lead to death.

Han Shushu said: "King Wen, my subordinates suggest that we should send an envoy to Nanjun. Explain to Hu Ling that he is powerful, let him send troops to help, our two armies will join forces, and we will definitely be able to defeat Yu Yuan! ”

Wang Xu said with a smile: "Mr. Calligraphy and Painting is reasonable, which of you is willing to take this trip?" ”

"If you can invite Hu Ling, the official will be promoted to one level!"

More than a dozen senators were eager to try. came out one after another, and Wang Xu casually ordered: "What's your name?" ”

The person who was hit by the point shook his sleeve robe and arched his hand: "King Huiwen, humble and simple." ”

"Okay, it's up to you to send Nanjun, you tell Hu Ling, if he is willing to come to help, when Yu Yuan is defeated, I will sell him a large number of war horses in Hexi County."

...........

Jian Yi received the order and set off under the protection of several brocade guards; From the Western Capital to Nanjun for thousands of miles, during which thieves were rampant, Yu Yuan's army was eyeing each other, and it was not easy to reach it, but Jian Yi was full of confidence, and after riding a war horse, he galloped south.

Continuing to arrange the defense of the Western Capital, Wang Xu announced the end of the meeting.

Li Zhi and Liao Yun took turns to be responsible for garrisoning the outer city, and Minling was stationed in the inner city of the four directions; Zhang Meng's Yulin Army ensured the security of the city, and the entire western capital entered a state of first-class combat readiness.

Although the morale of the generals is high, but they do not dare to underestimate the officers and soldiers of the court, according to the report of the spies, this time Yu Yuan has 250,000 troops to the western capital, these 250,000 are the essence of the fine, during the period of 50,000 are iron horses, one is not a problem.

...........

Outside the official road of Minglan.

Sun Yu and Lei Yan had already arrived here yesterday, and Danshi and they did not garrison the official road and Languan, but set up a formation outside the pipeline, wanting to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers.

The two of them have inquired clearly, except for 3,000 light cavalry, Wang Jin's department is all infantry, and if it comes to field battles, the two are not afraid; Maybe Sun Yu's 3,000 cavalry is not yet an elite soldier, but Lei Yan's 80,000 iron cavalry is stationed at the west pass of the river all the year round to resist the snowy people, and they are extremely strong, and they definitely have an overwhelming advantage.

"Newspaper... General, the enemy army is only twenty miles away, but the enemy army seems to have discovered us and is approaching the county seat. "A horse galloped in, and I reported.

Waving his hand to let the scout probe and report again, Lei Yan looked at Sun Yu on the side and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I will give you this credit, do you dare to go?" ”

"Senior brother, you must not let the enemy garrison the county seat, I will intercept it." Sun Yu said decisively.

Lei Yan nodded: "Don't worry, I'll take a break for you!" ”

Sun Yu turned his horse's head, and then roared west with 30,000 deployments, these 30,000 people are the results of Sun Yu's training in the past six months, although they are not as good as Lei Yan's soldiers and horses, but against the infantry, it is an advantage.

Xiao Xiao Ma Ming, leisurely and beautiful; Tens of thousands of horsemen swept forward like a raging wind, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and a roar like rolling thunder could be felt for miles.

Wang Jin is the right general, known for his bravery, decisive and neat, and a little reckless, but today he is extremely cautious, because Yu Yuan handed over 100,000 troops to him, if there is a mistake, it is a vain death and it is difficult to write his guilt.

After hearing the scout's report that Wang Xu's cavalry was all outside the official road of Mingshan, Wang Jin listened to the advice of his lieutenant general and immediately moved closer to the nearest county town and followed the city wall to resist the cavalry.

However, Wang Jin underestimated the endurance and speed of the Hexi war horse, and he had just marched a few miles forward when he received the news of the enemy's attack.

Wang Jin took a deep breath and shouted, "All units are arrayed, ready to meet the enemy!" ”

In a short time, the 100,000-strong army was in the same place, 5,000 people were in a formation, a total of 20 phalanxes, and in each phalanx there were pikemen, sword and shield men, and archers, which could be said to be well coordinated. At a glance, people can see that they are elite soldiers in a hundred battles.

After waiting for a cup of tea, Wang Jin felt a slight shaking on the ground, and then, the feeling became stronger and stronger. (To be continued.) )
