Volume XI, Chapter 61

Wang Zhuo didn't stop him, today Yingxue is indeed a big injury, in the battle he not only has to protect himself to the greatest extent, but also used all his energy to fight with the enemy, in front of so many enemies, can get away with the victory, but thanks to Yingxue's extraordinary performance, although Wang Zhuo and they finally saved their lives, but Wang Zhuo, like Yingxue, is already overdrawn and tired, and Yingxue's may be stricter than Wang Zhuo and Tang Bin and others, although Yingxue did not show it, but Wang Zhuo already knew from Yingxue's expression that Yingxue was quite tired。

The next day, Wang Zhuo has not gotten up, Zhang Luo and Li Li have already come to report to Wang Zhuo the number of surrenderers counted last night, Wang Zhuo saw that Zhang Luo and Li Li came, hurriedly got up, Zhang Luo and Li Li reported the situation of last night's battle to Wang Zhuo in detail, Wang Zhuo did not listen and did not think so, now when he heard the report, he was secretly surprised.

"Report General, yesterday we not only received a large amount of food, which will feed us for at least ten months, but also took over three arsenals and a vault. Zhang Luo said excitedly.

"Report to the general, yesterday we received a total of 82,381 enemy troops, including 489 officers, the most noteworthy of which is that in the battle of the palace yesterday, with the strength of five generals, the strength of Gao Yuanhao's two elite brigades was completely defeated, and now the army thinks that General Yingxue is the reincarnation of the god of war, and the admiration for him is beyond words, but there seems to be a deep fear, which I understand a little. We have kept all the officers and soldiers separate from each other as you have commanded, and now I ask the general to indicate the next steps. Li Li also said excitedly. Ying Xue's appearance yesterday really made him a little jealous, but. Li Li is more honored, in this world where the strong are king. can follow a strong person like Yingxue, and when he comes out, it is just around the corner.

"What yesterday there were two brigades of more than 20,000 troops in the palace, no wonder we were so struggling yesterday, if it wasn't for Ying Xue using the Tianyan Divine Sword yesterday, we might have been overwhelmed by the sea of people, oh, by the way, about Ying Xue's identity and the situation of a qiē. You all have to keep it strictly confidential, especially the matter of using the Tianyan Divine Sword must not be leaked, otherwise I will ask the two of you. Wang Zhuo said with a stern expression.

"Yes, General, we guarantee that we will never leak this matter. Zhang Luo and Li Li replied in unison, it turned out that Ying Xue used the Tianyan Divine Sword and Tianyan Swordsmanship, it seems that the rumors are indeed true, Yingxue has indeed obtained the Tianyan Divine Sword, and has also practiced the Tianyan Swordsmanship. They felt really sorry now, if they followed Yingxue straight to the palace last night, what a fascinating thing it would be.

"What are you two doing in a daze, this Tianyan Divine Sword is not a mascot. You didn't see Ying Xue's madness last night, it was a nightmare, and you will never forget that scene. I'd rather not have this kind of murder weapon, it's too terrifying. It's horrible. Wang Zhuo was not as full of admiration as Zhang Luo and Li Li, but said with palpitations.

"No, it won't. It's really that scary. Zhang Luo asked incredulously.

"You two, don't you see that all the limbs and arms in the palace are severe? Yesterday, Tang Bin, Yang Yuhai, Zhou Ming, and Xie Hao and I vomited on the spot, you think we are so comfortable, and the five of us are even more uncomfortable watching from the sidelines. Wang Zhuo remembered yesterday's massacre, and his heart became uncomfortable.

Zhang Luo and Li Li no longer spoke, and Wang Zhuo's experienced people were all stunned by the scene at that time, and they vomited on the spot, you can imagine how frightening the scene was at that time, no wonder those soldiers regarded Yingxue as the god of war, but the fear on their faces was more than worship.

"Forget it, don't talk about this, what is the attitude of the people in the northern capital towards us today?" Wang Zhuo asked according to Yingxue's deployment.

"It's lukewarm, it's just that the people in the city don't dare to open the door today, everyone is stuffy in the room and don't dare to come out, it seems that Gao Yuanhao is not very popular with the people, we follow the general's deployment, just patrol the streets, there is no disturbance to the people, we are here to report to the general, what should be done next, and please make it clear to the general." Li Li asked respectfully, he is not as good as Wang Zhuo in this regard, to appease the people, Wang Zhuo is better at this aspect.

"It is very important to tell the troops not to disturb the people, because in the future, the three northern provinces will be our base areas, and we must get the support of the people, otherwise it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold for a long time, and then immediately clean up the battlefield, quickly restore order in the city, and let the various functional institutions play their role again, to prevent someone from taking advantage of the fire to rob, and then a part of the grain to help the people, it has been consumed for so long, I guess the people must be empty, and their lives have been in trouble. Wang Zhuo said calmly, the change of power, the common people will not have any big opinions, as long as the new ruler's policy is better than the original ruler, who will care who you are ruling the three northern provinces This boring question.

"Yes, General, we will do as you instruct, and we will go and handle this matter at once. Zhang Luo and Li Li stood up and immediately wanted to rush back to the northern capital.

"You don't have to worry, after using it with me earlier, let's go to Beidu together, you wait for me first, I'll wash my face first." Hehehe!" Wang smiled a little embarrassedly, he had been talking for so long that he had forgotten that he hadn't washed himself.

Zhang Luo and Li Li smiled heartily, they felt very comfortable, following generals like Yingxue and Wang Zhuo don't know why there is no sense of oppression at all, it is not like the relationship between superiors and subordinates at all, but a kind of intimacy that they themselves can't explain, but they have great respect and admiration for Yingxue and Wang Zhuo, and there is absolutely no sense of recklessness because they are easy-going, this is a kind of reverence from the bottom of their hearts.

The three of them just walked out of the door after finishing the meal, but saw that the dragon and Xiaotian were blocking their way, Wang Zhuo was a little puzzled, but the dragon immediately explained that it was Yingxue who confessed to the two of them to protect Wang Zhuo, and now the situation is very complicated. Yingxue has already explained, where Wang Zhuo went. The two of them followed wherever they went, and Wang Zhuo must not be harmed in any way. The methods of the dragon and Xiaotian, Wang Zhuo have seen it with his own eyes. Eagle Snow arranges for the two of them to protect herself, and that's absolutely foolproof.

What can Wang Zhuo say about Yingxue's warm care, only to put gratitude in his heart, Zhang Luo and Li Li are a little puzzled, why didn't they see Yingxue today, did he have any big moves?

Wang Zhuo explained to the two that Ying Xue was dealing with the problem of Tianguan with Zheng Ti and Ma or the two, if successful. Then everyone can break the blockade and march directly into Kyoto, however, the one qiē in the rear here is handed over to Wang Zhuo, Zhang Luo, and Li Li, and a new army will be formed soon, but now it seems that two armies may have to be reorganized, and these will have to be talked about when Yingxue comes back, Zhang Luo and Li Li suddenly became excited when they heard it. In their hearts, Ying Xue is simply a god and can do anything, as long as Ying Xue appears wherever she appears. Any problems and difficulties will be solved.

Yingxue really lost too much energy in the battle, and when he returned to the room, he immediately breathed, he was too tired. I fell asleep sitting like this, but. The Three-Folded Heart Method has been activated, and he can breathe while sleeping. It's just that it's far from being compared to the dragon and Xiao Tianlai, they are masters of sleeping, and they are masters of cultivation in their sleep.

When Yingxue woke up, the sky was already bright, and after a little breath, she found that her whole body did not have any discomfort, except for some soreness in her muscles, everything was normal. Ying Xue remembered that she was going to Tianguan today, so she washed up casually, and after finding something to deal with her stomach, she hurriedly flew towards Tianguan.

After seeing Zheng Ti and Ma or the two, they simply told the two of them about last night's battle, Zheng Ti and Ma or the two were immediately overjoyed, and Ying Xue told the two not to show it, because the next goal is to break out of the Tianguan and open up the strategic passage of Kyoto, the most important thing in this matter is to solve the problem of the Tianguan, so many people are eyeing each other, and they must be cautious.

Yingxue asked Zheng Ti and Ma or the two of them about the shape of Tianguan in the past few days, and the two made a detailed report to Yingxue, it turned out that a qiē acted in accordance with Yingxue's plan, since Zheng Ti was punished by Wang Zhuo, the generals of all parties thought that there was an opportunity, therefore, there were really a lot of people who came to Zheng Ti in the past few days, there were five or six groups of people, large and small, including Lai Rong, the general of the former border country, Xiang Cone, the dragoon general, and Zhu Chunxiao, the guerrilla general, and now they have all independently claimed the king, as well as the envoys from Kyoto, etc., it seems that they are pervasive。 Zheng Ti has already agreed to all of Yingxue's arrangements, and now he is waiting for Yingxue to instruct how to deal with this problem.

After listening to this, Ying Xue thought about it seriously, and then asked, "Among these forces, which are the two people who pose the greatest threat to us now?"

"It's Lai Rong and Zhu Chunxiao, they are in a horn trend, blocking us in the three northern provinces, it is difficult to expand outward, but the two of them in order to compete for territory, but all day long, small battles, if any of the two of them get Tianguan, I think, the other person will only be defeated, Tianguan can be said to be their life and death turning point, we have also met with these two, although it is a small friction, but in terms of strength, the strength of Zhu Xiaochun and Lai Rong is much greater than ours. Zheng Ti is more familiar with the situation, after all, he has always been guarding Tianguan.

"In that case, we opened our eyes on the two of them, removed these two obstacles, and laid the foundation for our march into Kyoto. Ying Xue said confidently.

"I don't know what the general's plan is!" Zheng Ti and Ma or the two asked puzzled.

"We don't need to do anything about it, we can do it this way. Ying Xue whispered her plan to the two, and Zheng Ti and Ma may have nodded straight at the ear.

"Let's do it according to the plan, however, Commander Ma may have to suffer a little grievance in this matter, we must sing this play realistically, remember to choose a group of people who can be trusted and have a tight tone to play this play, we can't and dare not send troops to support you now, it's up to you and yourself, however, General Wang Zhuo and I both believe in your ability, you will definitely be able to complete this task, and I will come to fight with you at that time." Yingxue said solemnly.

"Yes, please rest assured, General, we will live up to your trust. Zheng Ti and Ma or the two said confidently.

"Okay, then do it according to the plan, remember to be calm and careful. At that time. I'll come to you. After Yingxue finished speaking, she said goodbye to Zheng Ti and Ma or the two of them. Zheng Ti and Ma or the two looked at each other. smiled knowingly, and went to work according to what Yingxue commanded.

After Ying Xue left Zheng Ti and Ma or the two. After Ying Xue and Wang Zhuo met, they knew that the number of troops surrendered was beyond his expectations before the war, nearly 80,000 people could form two new armies, Ying Xue was only ready to form an army, but he didn't expect that two armies could be formed now, so the two newly formed armies were set as the fifth army and the sixth army, and Ying Xue discussed with Wang Zhuo. It was decided that Yang Yuhai and Xie Hao would be the commanders of the Fifth Army, and that Liu Linfeng and Zhou Ming would be the commanders of the Sixth Army, and that Yang Yuhai, Liu Linfeng, Xie Hao, and Zhou Ming would be promoted to generals, while Zeng Zhaoli and Tang Bin would continue to be the captains of the Special Guards, and that the New Army would be interspersed with the two-person armies of Li Li and Zhang Luo, and that the strength of each of the two armies would be put into the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army, and that the strength of the four brigades in the surrendered troops would be placed in the armies of Li Li and Zhang Luo, and that a number of grass-roots army commanders would be promoted from the surrendered army. In doing so, it will be possible to monitor the surrender of troops. The surrender of troops is divided to facilitate unified mobilization arrangements. The new army is still under the full command of Wang Zhuo, although Wang Zhuo shirked for a while, but Yingxue still insisted that Wang Zhuo lead the three armies. He was still in command behind the scenes, and Wang Zhuo couldn't shirk it, so he had to obey Yingxue's arrangement.

After Ying Xue and Wang Zhuo agreed. Wang Zhuo summoned Liu Linfeng, Zhou Ming, Yang Yuhai, Xie Hao, Zeng Zhaoli, Tang Bin, Zhang Luo, Li Li and Lu Qi to the palace. Everyone agreed, but Zeng Zhaoli was a little unhappy. complained that Yingxue was unfair, why didn't he arrange a position as a military commander, or let him lead the three hundred brothers in the cottage, and the color of injustice was obvious.

Yingxue did not express his position, but told everyone not to leak this news casually, and also ordered Lu Qi to put the Tiemen Pass under full martial law, not to let anyone close to the Tiemen Pass, and set up a defensive barrier in front of the Tiemen Pass and the Northern Capital, the people of the Tiemen Pass have all moved into Yaoguan, now as long as the people who appear in the Tiemen Pass, arrest immediately, and never let go of a person, and no one is allowed to go out, and at the same time put the Yaoguan under martial law, the people of Yaoguan are not allowed to enter the Tiemen Pass, now is an extraordinary period, and in the past, the war in front of the Tiemen Pass has been continuous, if the Tiemen Pass and Yaoguan are under martial law, I believe it will not cause too much turmoil, but pay special attention to the actions of enemy spies, Yingxue repeatedly told Lu Qi that all the news that had captured the northern capital and eliminated Gao Yuanhao must be blocked, and Lu Qi was responsible for arranging this matter.

After Yingxue announced the dismissal of the meeting, Zhou Ming, Xie Hao, Yang Yuhai, Liu Linfeng, Lu Qi, Zhang Luo, Li Li and others knew that Yingxue would have another big action, and the time was pressing, so everyone immediately began to arrange the formation of the work, not to mention, there are still many things that need to be done to form a new army, and everyone knows that their tasks are heavy, so they all go their own way. After everyone left, Yingxue left Zeng Zhaoli and Tang Bin behind.

"Brother Zhaoli, it seems that you have quite a big opinion on my arrangement today?" Ying Xue saw Zeng Zhaoli's puffed appearance, deliberately sharpened his fiery nature, and said slowly.

"Of course I have an opinion, why don't you arrange positions for me and Binzai, but instead arrange them for Brother Hai, what do you mean!" Zeng Zhaoli said angrily, his love was indeed very big.

"Oh! I said Brother Zhaoli, do you know why I left you and Tang Bin alone. Yingxue glanced at Tang Bin, saw that his expression was calm, and knew that he had already realized something, and now only Zeng Zhaoli was still unclear, thinking that he had been greatly wronged and was making trouble!

"Why, if you have something to say, let go of a fart!" Zeng Zhaoli was really in a bad mood today, and when he saw that Yingxue was still slow, his heart became even more angry.

Seeing Zeng Zhaoli's appearance, Ying Xue didn't want to tease him anymore, her expression was whole, and she said to him: "You guy, look at Binzai, how calm and calm people are, learn more in the future, don't be boring in everything, how to be a general in the future, how can you lead troops to fight? You will be a squad leader for the rest of your life." ”

"Brother Zhaoli, don't worry, didn't you see that Yingxue is already in the chest? Tang Bin reminded Zeng Zhaoli.

"Hehe, it's better to be calm, let General Wang sue you about this matter, and General Wang will be fully responsible for this qiē in the future. Ying Xue glanced at Wang Zhuo, meaning to call him to come.

"The general is too exalted to my Wang!" Wang Zhuo glanced at him gratefully, and then said to Tang Bin and Zeng Zhaoli: "The general is preparing to attack Kyoto. Open up the north-south passage and unify the border countries. Such a huge plan, of course, requires everyone's cooperation. Now the general has left the two of you because there will be a big operation in the near future, and you need your full support. ”

"Big action! What big action?" Zeng Zhaoli immediately shouted happily when he heard that he was going to fight again, interrupting Wang Zhuo's words.

"Hehe, Brother Zeng is too anxious, the general means to lift the siege outside Tianguan first, the former border country general Lai Rong and guerrilla general Zhu Xiaochun, these two are our henchmen, although these two forces want to recruit us, but they are the biggest obstacle to our southward advance. If we don't break their blockade, we won't be able to break out of the three northern provinces and attack Kyoto, let alone the great plan to open up the north-south passage and unify the border countries. Wang Zhuo glanced at Tang Bin and Zeng Zhaoli, who had listened to the gods, and continued: "The top priority now is to eliminate these two forces, General Yingxue and I are planning this matter, and the plan has probably been decided. Now it's all up to Zheng Ti and Ma or the ability of the two. ”

"You've already planned it, so what else do you need me to help with, isn't this prevaricating me!" Zeng Zhaoli heard that he had no part in this matter. I couldn't help but say discouragedly.

"Is there any difficulty in this operation, so you want me and Brother Zhaoli to help complete it?" Tang Bin didn't seem to be sure when he heard Wang Zhuo's tone.

"Not bad. Brother Tang is right, the soldiers are fast. Our time is running out, and we have captured the news of Gao Yuanhao. It won't be long to conceal it, so in this operation, our army can't start at all, if our army arrives at Tianguan, then all the spies will know that we have eliminated Gao Yuanhao, as soon as the news leaks out, the generals who want to win over us will definitely be vigilant, and they may also attack it in groups, because they must not want to have new forces compete with them, so that our plan cannot be implemented, won't it be a failure!" Wang Zhuo said worriedly.

"Hey, hey, you've been talking about it for so long, what is this plan, the more I listen to it, the more confused I become. Zeng Zhaoli shouted dissatisfiedly, as if everyone knew what was going on, and he was the only one in the dark.

"You guy is so impatient, didn't I tell you? Think more about it, our foundation is not stable now, and our strength is less than 300,000, and excluding the defensive force, it is only about 100,000 people. This battle is different from the game, there is no chance of a restart. Therefore, every step is cautious, seeking stability in stability, and we must be sure to win before we can attack. Ying Xue said sternly to Zeng Zhaoli,

"Yes! I've got it all right, and now I'm going to tell you what you're planning. Zeng Zhaoli also put away his jokes, and said seriously, of course he knows the strictness of the matter, after all, he is also a soldier, and he has experienced everything on the battlefield, Yingxue said this, it is also for the sake of his life and the safety of everyone, how can Zeng Zhaoli not understand.

"This time, we are going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then when they are both defeated, they will be annihilated in one fell swoop, and if the shape is one-sided, they will be led into the Tianguan to gather and annihilate them. Wang Zhuo said the general steps of the plan.

"What are you sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, after talking about it for a long time, what are you going to do, I still don't understand, don't hang my appetite, let's talk about it in detail." It's a hassle to talk to you. Zeng Zhaoli listened, but still didn't understand what he wanted him to do, what kind of role he played in the plan, and what kind of position he would get after the operation was successful.

"Hehe, Brother Zeng, don't worry, our specific plan is like this......" Wang Zhuo explained the plan he and Yingxue made in detail to Zeng Zhaoli.

"Oh, I see, don't you just make it clear earlier? After a long time here, you can actually make it clear in a few words, it's really troublesome! So what are we going to do now?" Zeng Zhaoli asked as if suddenly realized.

"In view of the fact that our army cannot go to reinforcements, the general and I have decided to send you to lead the wingers of the Special Guard to Tianguan to support Zheng Ti and Ma or the two generals. Rest assured, General Yingxue will come to join you, and this operation will be under the personal command of General Yingxue, and I think you will be sure to win. Because there are too many cumbersome affairs in the northern capital, and the formation of the new army and the stability of the army still have to be arranged, I can't go in person, this operation depends on the two generals!" Wang Zhuo said earnestly, Youying Xue was not worried about him, but the risk of this operation was too great, and he had to act cautiously.

"Yes, General Wang, with me and Tang Bin here, this operation will definitely be successful, don't worry. Zeng Zhaoli said confidently. (To be continued......)
