After settling Zheng Zhixun, who had a restless heart, in the Sword Pavilion, Xu Huabiao continued to go north.

Just like he said to Zheng Zhixun, the current Sword Pavilion can absorb the displaced people from Liangzhou.

He also realized that the war in the Liangzhou area seemed to be unable to continue.

Return to Liangzhou as soon as possible, and then, end the campaign in Liangzhou, and let the people return to normal life.

Otherwise, even if he arranged for Park Chulong to occupy Liangzhou, he would not have much population, which would be too much of a loss.

Coming out of the Sword Pavilion, I walked north for about four days on an extremely difficult mountain road, and arrived at a fork in the road, which led to Yangping Pass to the east and then Hanzhong County, and to the west to Wudu County of Liangzhou.

Originally, according to Xu Huabiao's plan, Jin Hyunjing, who was going to Chang'an to find Li Zhien to arrange a job, was going to part ways with him here, but after seeing Xu Huabiao's attention to the Sword Pavilion Tuntian, Jin Hyunjing temporarily decided to stay in the Sword Pavilion to do a little practice, Xu Huabiao's group just went far to the east, glanced at Yangping Pass, which could not be seen at all, and then continued to move west.

Left the fork in the road and walked for another ten days.

A group of four people finally came to the southernmost county in Liangzhou.

Wudu.

……

"Lord, there is an army stationed outside the Wudu City in front, and it seems that there are quite a few of them."

“…… Quite a few people? Who brought the soldiers? ”

"This ...... I don't know. There is no flag on the side of the barracks, so I can't see it clearly. Shall we go in? ”

Zheng Endi shook his head.

"Definitely going to go! Anyway, it's all their own people. Xu Huabiao smiled, "And we are here to end the battle of Liangzhou this time, and if it is resolved quickly, we will go back to Chang'an." ”

"Lord, what is the situation in Liangzhou? Why don't you know who is attacking Wudu? Li Luduo, who was on the side, was a little curious and asked Xu Huabiao, "Isn't it your army attacking Wudu?" ”

"Oh, I handed over the battle of Pingliang to Enjing." Xu Huabiao smiled, "She and Park Chulong discussed the arrangement, except for the fact that I knew that Cheng Xiao went directly to Wuwei to take over her father-in-law's team, I didn't ask too much about the rest." ”

“…… My lord, you are really at ease with your generals! ”

"I've told you so many times along the way! I'm not the same as the Golden Age! Xu Huabiao smiled, "There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people, this is my principle." ”

“…… Be. Li Luduo nodded seriously.

"So, my lord, let's go into camp now?" Zheng Endi took over the conversation.

"Okay." Xu Huabiao nodded.

Riding his horse, he ran towards the barracks not far away.

……

"Lord, why did you come to Wudu? Aren't you in Jingzhou? ”

“…… Why are you fighting Wudu? ”

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Huabiao relied on his face to smoothly enter the military camp outside Wudu City, and also met the commander of the siege army.

The real boss, the commander of the Luoyang City Guards, the general Xian Enjing.

So much so that Xu Huabiao was stunned when he saw her appear here.

As the commander-in-chief, even if he doesn't fight Liu Xianhua in Jincheng, he should attack Tianshui, a major town in Xiliang, right? Why waste time outside a small Wudu County......

"Huh? Don't you know, my lord? Xian Enjing heard Xu Huabiao's question, and was stunned for a moment, "I thought it was your arrangement......

“…… Who gave you the order? Xu Huabiao's brows furrowed slightly.

In Luoyang, apart from himself, the only people who can give orders to Xian Enjing are Zhou Jieqiong and Li Yunxi, right?

There is no need for these two people to give orders in their own name!

"I don't know." Xian Enjing looked at Xu Huabiao's expression, and her brows also frowned, "I was stationed outside Tianshui City before, but General Park Zhiyan came to me and said that she was arranged to lead troops to attack Tianshui. I thought it was the lord who wanted General Zhiyan to be the Tianshui Taishou in the future! So ......"

“…… Ji-yeon? Did she leave Chang'an? Xu Huabiao's brows frowned again, "Ji-eun's arrangement?" ”

"I don't know about that." Xian Enjing smiled, "I thought, anyway, even if I defeat Tianshui, it doesn't make much sense, it is better to give that credit to General Zhiyan, so I handed over the army outside Tianshui County to General Zhiyan, and I myself brought three thousand people to Wudu." ”

“…… Ji-yeon left Chang'an, who is the guard of Chang'an now? Zhou Ziyu? ”

"General Ziyu is now in Jincheng, and General Zhiyan told me that she plans to hand over the defense of Chang'an City to Zhao Xianrong, and when I came to Wudu before, Zhao Xianrong had already returned to Chang'an."

“…… Well, that's good. Xu Huabiao breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought something was wrong." ”

"Lord, are you worried...... What's happening in Chang'an? ”

"Nothing." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "What, is this Wudu County difficult to fight?" ”

“…… It's not that hard. I have 3,000 people here, and the defenders of Wudu only have about 1,000 people. It's just that I want to wait for Jincheng and Tianshui to calm down before I do it. Xian Enjing smiled, "It doesn't make sense for me to get ahead of them...... And it's not the lord that you ordered us not to rush to subdue Liangzhou! ”

"It's okay if you knock it down! It's better than staying outside the city. Xu Huabiao shook his head, "Give the order to attack the city!" ”

“…… Lord, are you going to pacify Liangzhou? Xian Enjing seemed to understand something.

"Well, try to solve the matter in Liangzhou within two months, and then ...... Everyone has been away from Luoyang for a while, and it's time to go home and have a look. Xu Huabiao nodded.

"Okay." Xian Enjing nodded, and then shouted outside: "Someone!" ”

"General!" The guards outside the tent entered.

"Pass the order down and begin the siege." Xian Enjing looked serious, "Come on, really." ”

“…… Be! Checkmate! The soldier nodded at Xian Enjing and took the order.

"Lord, you are from Shuzhong, and you have worked hard, so go and rest first?" Xian Enjing glanced at Xu Huabiao, and said a kind word to the three people who followed him.

“…… Go and rest! Xu Huabiao said to Zheng Endi and the three beside him.

"Your Lord, You ......"

"Then we're going down!" Zheng Endi interrupted Li Luduo's words, who wanted to be polite, pulled her with a smile, and left with Sakura Miyawaki.

“…… What are you doing, my lord! Xian Enjing's face turned red and gave Xu Huabiao a white look.

"It's nothing, it's just to accompany you! We don't usually spend much time alone like this...... Are you going to the city to oversee the war? I'll go with you. ”

“…… No need! ”

"Do you think it's a shame to join me in the war?"

"How could that ......" Xian Enjing glared at Xu Huabiao.

Forget it, she is not Pei Zhuhyun, and she can't fight Xu Huabiao, so give up.

……

Half an hour later, under the city of Wudu.

“……”

"What's the matter, lord?"

"It's not...... What's going on? ”

“…… What's going on? It's over! ”

"Hit ...... Finished? ”

"Yes! Our men have climbed the walls, and the gates have been struck open by the car. ”

Xian Enjing pointed to the Wudu City in front of the two.

"In this case, except for the battle to destroy the country, there is no longer a defender to hold on, right?"

“……”

Xu Huabiao continued, looking at Wudu City in front of him speechlessly.

That's right! But......

You've been stationed outside Wudu for a few months, haven't you? Broke through in half an hour?

That's not a good thing to say!

"It's all because of your lord, you came to Wudu City to supervise the battle, and the soldiers used their lives to break through Wudu City so quickly!" Xian Enjing smiled, saying something that I don't know if it was ridicule or serious.

“…… You've had enough. Xu Huabiao shook his head speechlessly.

"Of course, we've prepared a lot of things in the past two months!" Xian Enjing looked at Xu Huabiao's appearance and knew that he didn't plan to take this credit, so he began to say something more sincere: "Those ladders and rushing cars were all made during this period of time, and they didn't waste time." ”

"Okay, I'll make up these words myself, let's go, let's go into the city." Xu Huabiao waved his hand, "Let's go find a yard to settle down in." ”

"One...... Together?? ”

"Yes! Or else? Xu Huabiao glanced at Xian Enjing deeply, "Usually we rarely have the opportunity to be alone like this!" This time it's hard to ...... Let's rest in Wudu for a few days, and then let's go to Tianshui together. ”

“…… Lord, didn't you just say that you would pacify Liangzhou within two months......

"Yes! Two months! I can see it, if I hadn't ordered you not to attack in a hurry, I'm afraid that Liangzhou would have been pacified by you half a year ago. Xu Huabiao looked depressed, "Since that's the case...... Then there's no need for us to rush. ”

“…… Your lord, you ......"

"Alright." Xu Huabiao waved his hand, "Just leave the matter of receiving Wudu to Li Luduo, you can rest with me for a few days!" ”

“…… All right. Xian Enjing thought for a moment and smiled.

Xu Huabiao was stunned.

No, shouldn't you be shy to refuse?

Isn't that a little too unsentimental......

But that's fine!

Since entering Sichuan, Xu Huabiao has not even had anyone around him to warm his bed, and it has been several months.

Tonight...... Well.
