After about a month, Gongsun Xiong reorganized his army of 12,000 men, with 5,000 as cavalry and the remaining 7,000 as archers.

Moreover, the training also lasted for about ten days, and Gongsun Xiong originally planned to train them all to be accurate marksmen.

Wang Chongyang didn't think it was necessary, he and Gongsun Xiong said, "If it's a single soldier, accuracy is very important, but if the general thinks about it, if seven thousand bows and arrows are shot at one place at the same time, even if they are not accurate, they will be shot into hedgehogs, right?" ”

Gongsun Xiong was surprised, "Hedgehog? ”

Wang Chongyang said secretly, the hedgehog is the saying of later generations, no wonder Gongsun Xiong didn't know, and immediately said again, "Porcupine!" ”

Gongsun Xiong immediately laughed and said, "Yes, it's really going to shoot like a porcupine!" ”

Wang Chongyang asked Gongsun Xiong, "In the last battle, although the general was not to blame, but after all, it was a fiasco, did the general think about being ashamed?" ”

Gongsun Xiong immediately said, "I'm dreaming about it, is Your Majesty ready to make any moves against Jiuli?" ”

Wang Chongyang immediately said, "Now Jiuli is busy with civil strife in the north, the strength is naturally focused on the north, and the south will inevitably be negligent in defense, we just take this opportunity to take the soldiers out to practice, one is to test the deployment of Jiuli, and the other is to see the overall strength of our army now, and then make adjustments after coming back!" ”

Gongsun Xiong immediately got up to receive the order, and said to Wang Chongyang, "During the training process, we have achieved a degree of advance and retreat through drumming and mingjin, but as Your Majesty said, I haven't really been on the battlefield yet, everything is not yet known, and it is indeed time to pull out and practice!" ”

At the court meeting the next day, Wang Chongyang once again appointed Gongsun Xiong as the temporary protector general, and asked him to lead his army north to attack Jiuli.

However, this time the target is not to go straight to the north, but to the northwest, which Wang Chongyang did not reveal to Gongsun Xiong before, and this is the first time that the court meeting has been mentioned.

Gongsun Xiong asked Wang Chongyang in surprise, "Your Majesty, the Yellow River Valley in the northwest is not the foundation of Jiuli!" ”

Wang Chongyang said to Gongsun Xiong, "I know that it is not the root of Jiuli, but it is the root of your Xuanyuan clan, general, when Jiuli is in civil strife, the strength of other tribes will inevitably begin to decrease, this is the best time!" ”

Immediately, some courtiers objected, "Your Majesty, the Xuanyuan tribe is too far away from our country, and our country has just experienced a fiasco, and now the military strength is far inferior to before. Your Majesty! ”

This opinion seems to be more agreed by most of the courtiers, and they all echo it, "Your Majesty, the ministers also think so. ”

Even Gongsun Xiong himself bowed his hand to Wang Chongyang and said, "Your Majesty, what your ministers say is not unreasonable, and the ministers also think so!" ”

Wang Chongyang stood up and said, "General Gongsun is not from our country, but he has been fighting for us, he is already a homeless person who has lost the country, you ministers here, put yourself in General Gongsun's shoes and think about it, if your home is gone, can you still give me advice with peace of mind?" ”

The courtiers were silent for a while, but Gongsun Xiong was particularly moved when he heard this, it turned out that Wang Chongyang suddenly changed his strategic policy completely for himself.

Gongsun Xiong immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Wang Chongyang, "Your Majesty's kindness, Xiong can't repay it!" ”

Wang Chongyang walked in front of Gongsun Xiong, stretched out his hand to help Gongsun Xiong, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm not entirely thinking about you, general, after careful consideration, I feel that this is the best strategy!" ”

Gongsun Xiong and a kind of ministers all looked at Wang Chongyang in surprise, but listened to Wang Chongyang say, "Just now I asked you to put yourself in General Gongsun's shoes and think about it, but won't you think about it from Chiyou's point of view?" ”

The ministers muttered one after another, "Think about it from Chiyou's point of view? ”

Gongsun Xiong seemed to have understood, "Your Majesty means that although the Jiuli Department is now in civil strife, Chi You is busy quelling the civil strife, but he should also know that we will take this opportunity to attack him, if it is him, he will definitely set up heavy ambushes in several important towns adjacent to my Guangyan Miaole Country, which is bound to annihilate our army in one fell swoop, because there are not many opportunities for civil strife in Jiuli, once we seize this opportunity, we will definitely not let it go, and Chi You will definitely know that we will send troops to the country!" ”

After Wang Chongyang snapped his fingers, he said to Gongsun Xiong, "The general is really the one who leads the troops, and he can see through it at one point!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the other ministers and said, "Now you know our intentions, right?" ”

The ministers and workers talked in a whisper, most of them were civil ministers, and they didn't think much about strategy.

At this time, after listening to Wang Chongyang's explanation, they all bowed to Wang Chongyang and said, "Your Majesty is far-sighted and has a long-term strategy, which is indeed beyond the reach of the ministers!" ”

Wang Chongyang sat back on the throne at this time, and said to the courtiers, "Although General Gongsun is the acting general of the protector, his duties are no different from that of the general of the protector, this time is the same as before, all the courtiers must have the right to cooperate with General Gongsun's Northern Expedition!" ”

All the ministers immediately said in unison, "The ministers receive the king's orders!" ”

Gongsun Xiong even knelt down to receive the general's order, and once again served as the protector general of Guangyan Miaole Country, although it was only temporary, but most people knew that if the war went well after this battle, it was only a matter of time before Gongsun Xiong became a protector general.

On the second day of Gongsun Xiong's preparation for the Northern Expedition, Gongsun Ba asked to see Wang Chongyang.

Wang Chongyang was teaching at this time, telling the ancient book Zhenjun and others the essence of innate decision, and secretly thought that now Gongsun Ba can be regarded as half of the body of cultivation, so let people invite her in.

As soon as Gongsun Ba entered the door, Gushu Zhenjun and the others all stood up with a change in their faces, and said in unison, "Murong Xue? ”

Gongsun Ba also looked at everyone blankly, and said in surprise, "What Murong Xue?" ”

Lingzhi Sanren immediately said to Gongsun Ba, "Snow Demon, do you think that if you change into a non-white dress, we won't know you?" ”

The amorous saint is even more out of the sheath, "return the life of the real person of the sea......"

Wang Chongyang held down the long sword of the Amorous Saint Monarch and said to everyone, "She is not Murong Xue, she is Gongsun Ba, the daughter of Gongsun Xiong!" ”

Gushu Zhenjun also looked at Gongsun Ba a few more times in surprise and said, "It's really not Murong Xue, if it's Murong Xue, how can you let me treat her like this?" ”

Gongsun Ba immediately said, "It's inexplicable, I don't know who you are talking about!" And who is the real person of the seafood? I just don't know what you're talking about? ”

Wang Chongyang originally planned to let Gongsun Ba stay with him to listen to the class, but at this time, it was better to take Gongsun Ba away first.

After taking Gongsun Ba outside the house, he asked Gongsun Ba, "What is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

Gongsun Ba immediately came back to his senses and muttered, "Originally, I wanted to find you and let me go with my father to send troops, but this time my father didn't allow me to follow the army!" ”

Wang Chongyang immediately said to Gongsun Ba, "That's why your father must have just recovered from your injury, so he doesn't want you to be in any danger, so let you stay in Wangcheng and recuperate!" ”

Gongsun Ba said, "It's okay to attack other places, but this time it's to attack my original Xuanyuan Division, such a battle, I, as the eldest daughter of the tribal leader, actually don't participate in this battle, my heart is really uneasy!" ”

Wang Chongyang said to Gongsun Ba, "I have handed over the responsibility of Lord Lingzun for this Northern Expedition, although I am the king, it is not easy to ask too much!" Instead of coming to me, you should beg Lord Lingzun more. ”

Gongsun Ba sighed, "If he makes sense, I won't come to you, no matter what, you are also the king, arrange a lieutenant general, and listen to him?" It's really not good, I don't want to be a lieutenant general, as long as I can follow the army and be a low-level soldier, I don't care, as long as I can go! ”

After Wang Chongyang groaned for a while, he said to Gongsun Ba, "Okay, I'll talk to Lord Lingzun for you!" ”

When Gongsun Ba heard this, he immediately said excitedly, "Your Majesty, are you serious?" ”

Wang Chongyang shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Actually, why did you come to me, even if I didn't say it, weren't you ready to follow me privately?" ”

Gongsun Ba immediately said, "Of course, it is naturally best to let Your Majesty agree justifiably, if it doesn't work, it's not too late to make a decision!" ”

Wang Chongyang shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then went to Gongsun Mansion with Gongsun Ba.

As soon as Gongsun Xiong saw Wang Chongyang and Gongsun Ba coming back together, he knew Wang Chongyang's intention.

Wang Chongyang said to Gongsun Xiong in private, "General Gongsun, don't you know your own daughter's character, what's the use of you stopping her, her legs are on herself, she can still go." And mixed in with the soldiers at the bottom, even if there is danger at that time, you don't know, it's better to follow her wishes, keep her by your side, and still have a care? ”

Gongsun Xiong heard Wang Chongyang say this, and then sighed and said, "Your Majesty said the same, my two daughters, I can't control one of them!" As he spoke, he immediately said to Gongsun Ba, "Don't you want to thank Your Majesty?" ”

When Gongsun Ba heard this, he immediately came with a smile and saluted Wang Chongyang, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Wang Chongyang said to Gongsun Ba, "I promised you to go to the front line, but it is not unconditional, when you come back from the front line, you must listen to the class with the group of people you saw just now!" ”

Gongsun Ba was surprised, "Listen to the class, what class?" ”

Wang Chongyang said, "You now have blood in your body, although you are controlled by the pill of Yuan Shi Tianzun, but it is not completely without problems, I also have blood in my body, so I know better, you need to turn the power of blood in your body into actual cultivation!" ”

Gongsun Ba looked at Wang Chongyang and said, "Just like you, flying around in the sky?" ”

Wang Chongyang said, "Yes, but those are only the most basic, as long as you practice diligently, your achievements in the future will definitely be limitless!" ”

Gongsun Bao immediately agreed, "That's no problem, I agreed!" ”
