"Hurry up, please.? With {Dream} Little ◢.1a "How can Zhang Chao make them kneel in front of them now? Let's not say that now is the time to employ people, but it is not informal, just say that Zhu Rong is pregnant, if there is any accident because of this, it will be a big problem.

Zhang Chao, who was polite, saw Meng Huo and his wife get up, so he said, "Mrs. Zhurong is pregnant, I don't want to bow down, and someone will give me a seat." ”

Zhang Chao's words fell, and Xu Chu, the head of the guard on the side, took out the big chair that had been prepared a long time ago and put it over, and saw that there was a soft cushion on it, and Zhang Chao's heart could be seen from such a trivial matter.

This is actually one of Zhang Chao's means to buy people's hearts, he knows that Meng Shu is a horseman, and he is more afraid of guilt, for such a person, he will not put any effort, but Zhu Rong here, as long as he convinces this person to return to his heart, it is equivalent to Nanban's heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Rong was overjoyed to see Zhang Chao so courteous and careful. This at least proves the kindness of the other party, and she is very satisfied with such a result when they meet at the first time.

Meng Huo, who was on the side, was also very happy to see his wife being courteous, and his originally nervous face was also much more relaxed at this moment.

It's just a chair, so that Zhang Chao got the first good impression in front of the couple, then the next thing will be much easier.

The situation in the Western Regions was critical, and Zhang Chao was not prepared to delay anything, and after a few greetings, he said, "King of the Southern Barbarians, is the 100,000 army ready?" ”

"You're ready." Meng Shu bent down and said.

"Okay, that's it, get ready, go out tomorrow, and send the white dragon pile to the army." Zhang Chao said in an unquestionable tone.

"Ahh Meng Shu, who had originally behaved quite calmly, heard this, and his eyes immediately widened.

Noticing Meng Shu's changes, Zhang Chao couldn't help frowning lightly and said, "The Southern Barbarian King has something to say?" ”

"This is the army has just arrived, why don't you take a rest first?" Meng Shu really didn't expect Zhang Chao to start a war as soon as he arrived, which was indeed a bit unexpected for him, originally, he had to rest for a few days first, so he was not prepared for battle.

"There is no rest, the battle ahead is tight, and we are going to enter the Western Regions with the momentum of thunder now." Zhang Chao shook his head, he was indeed very tired all the way, but at this moment he knew that if he waited for one more day, Che Shiguo would be in danger, and he couldn't watch his son fall into danger and be indifferent.

Zhang Chao said this, and Meng Shu had to agree to send troops tomorrow. So he took his wife out of the army tent with him. After coming out, Zhu Rong saw the bitter look on his face, so he cheered up and said, "King, you don't need to worry about anything, this time the First Emperor of Heaven brought 30,000 of the most elite Zhang family light cavalry, we just need to cooperate." ”

"Well, I'm not worried about anything." said so, but Meng Huo's puzzled and unconfident expression had already explained everything.

It's no wonder that Meng Shu would think like this, there are a total of 420,000 troops from five countries in the Western Regions at the White Dragon Pile, but they only have 100,000 of their own Southern Barbarian Army plus 30,000 light cavalry of the Celestial Empire, so it would be strange if he was not careful in such a formation.

It's just that even though the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty issued a holy decree, Meng Shu had no choice but to obey, and he also wanted to see how the legendary Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty would solve the crisis in the face of such a powerful Western Regions Alliance.

Meng Shu and his wife walked out of the big tent, Zhang Chao looked at Guo Jiadao, the minister of Yipin who was following on the side, "Fengxiao, what do you have to say?" ”

"Congratulations to the emperor, with the support of the Southern Barbarian Army, so there is no opposition in the land of China." Guo Jia also smiled.

"Haha, you." Zhang Chao is obviously in a good mood at the moment. Because only Guo Jia can see that the reason why he is in a hurry to send troops is to give Meng Huo and them a deterrent, I just want to send troops immediately, and I will win more with less, do you say that he is so powerful that he can not impress Meng Huo and them? It is even conceivable that once this battle is won, the Southern Barbarian Army will have no objection in the future, and in the face of such a powerful opponent, I am afraid that many people will be powerless.

In fact, Zhang Chao also wanted to use the first battle to subdue Meng Huo and the Southern Barbarian Army, and it was obvious that the Battle of Bailongdui was the best way.

It doesn't look like there are 520,000 troops of the Western Regions Alliance there, but in fact, the black cavalry accounts for 100,000 of them. Before this back and forth, the comparison of forces between the two sides will be much worse, and when the time comes, with a sudden counterattack, the effect can be imagined.

This is also a hand that Zhang Chao intends to leave, the first battle must be won, otherwise it will not be enough to deter the enemy and not enough to improve the morale of the army. Now, Zhang Chao is even looking forward to tomorrow's big battle.

When Zhang Chao was still thinking about these things, Huang Xuji walked in outside the tent, and Zhang Xing and Lu Yong came in with him.

This is the so-called three fierce sons, and they are also the three most outstanding in the second generation.

Needless to say, Zhang Xing was born noble, and his own performance was not bad, he relied on his own efforts to become a division commander, and now he has been transferred to the Zhang family light cavalry as a commander who manages 5,000 people, although it is not as good as when he was a division commander who can manage 10,000 people, but the responsibility is indeed heavier.

Lu Yong, who is as brave as his father Lu Bu, and because of his good performance, he has achieved the position of regiment commander, and this time he was transferred to the Zhang family light cavalry to gild, managing 2,000 people.

is talking about Huang Xu, Xishu was able to be destroyed so quickly, and he didn't even pay any big price, he can be said to have made a great contribution. Now that Meng Shu came with the Southern Barbarian Army, of course he also came with him.

Looking at the three people in front of him, Zhang Chao couldn't help but have a feeling, that is, whether he was getting old.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live." As soon as the three young people saw Zhang Chao, they fell to their knees and knocked their heads to the ground very reverently.

"Alright, let's all get up." Zhang Chao smiled and raised his hand to signal.

With Zhang Chao saying this, Zhang Xing and the three stood up with a smile on their faces. "Okay, I'll call you this time, and there's something else for you to do."

White Dragon Heap.

This straight line is the closest to Yumen Pass, and it can also be said to be the important town of the first line of defense in the Western Regions.

And in the largest of these tents, a military meeting is being urgently convened.

The noble aura on the face of the first seat is none other than Mu Kui, the lord of the Qiang Kingdom, one of the nine great countries in the Western Regions.

The other leaders present were Hao Shan, Heye, Pishan and the Black Cavalry.

Wuqiang, now southeast of Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang, China. The territory of the Qiang Kingdom is relatively extensive. The Book of Han records that "out of Yangguan (now southwest of Yumen, Gansu), from the beginning of the nearest, it is called Wuqiang, and the king of Wuqiang went to Hulai Wang, and went to Yangguan for 1,800 miles."

Because of their proximity to Yumen Pass, they were deeply influenced by the land of China, producing iron and casting knives, swords, armor, spears, bows and other weapons. With so many advantages, their strength in the entire Western Regions is also relatively strong.

This time, it was under the guidance of the Qiang State that it was defending against the possible reinforcements of the Celestial Empire.

Compared with the strength of the Wuqiang Kingdom, there is also the lord of Hao Shanguo below, that is, the lord of Loulan Kingdom, Wei Tu.

Hao Shan is also known as Loulan, the national capital of Hunicheng (near Ruoqiang, Xinjiang, China). Dunhuang in the east, Dunhuang in the west, Jingjue, Kuami, Khotan, traffic division in the northeast, Yanqi in the northwest, choke the key point of the Silk Road. Producing horses, donkeys, camels, etc.

Loulan is also one of the nine great countries in the Western Regions, but because of the internal strife a few years ago, it is really not so powerful, otherwise, it would not be at the bottom.

The two big countries, Wuqiang sent 200,000 troops, Loulan 160,000, plus 100,000 black knights, and 30,000 each in the other Shanghe Night Country and Pishan Kingdom, a total of 520,000 troops.

Speaking of which, the 520,000 army is just the number of a legion in the Celestial Empire, and the coalition army is not to be feared, but the problem is that this is the home field of the people, and in addition to the fact that the Celestial Empire really has no legions to spare time to reinforce the Western Regions, the situation is very grim.

This time, Zhang Chao just led the way with 30,000 light cavalry, plus 100,000 soldiers from the Southern Barbarian Army.

The 100,000 Southern Barbarian Army is just rushing to the façade, and its combat effectiveness is not very strong, otherwise it would not be easily cleaned up by Zhuge Liang. And the Zhang family light cavalry, even if it is strong, but after all, the number is still too small. In this way, it is no wonder that no one is optimistic about the Celestial Empire, even Meng was surprised when he received the order.

But no matter what, even if Zhang Chao comes, then he must attack, even if he is inferior in strength, he will still choose to attack. Not for anything else, just because the current situation in Cheshiguo is critical, his eldest son Zhang Tian is surrounded by many people, as a father, he will never sit idly by.

Mu Kui, Wei Tu and the others naturally understood this truth, and then they felt some pressure.

But it's just a feeling, and it's not enough to really make them scared. In the final analysis, war still depends on strength, but it is not the one who has the most name who can win. Tactics, morale, strength of troops, timely logistical support, and sufficiency of grain and grass are all extremely important reasons.

And from these aspects, it seems that the comparative advantage is here, so although Mu Kui and the others knew that the Celestial Empire army was coming, and even the emperor of the Celestial Empire was coming, they were not afraid in their hearts, on the contrary, they thought that the other party had better attack quickly, and if they got it right, they might be able to defeat the other party.

No one dares to think about capturing the emperor of the Celestial Empire, but if it is said that the other party is defeated, it is also a great achievement, which can be used as a great achievement to show off, and even after driving out of the Celestial Empire, when distributing benefits, this is also an excellent excuse.
