The sky gradually darkened, and the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army galloping in the distant wilderness was like a thorn in Jingxing's heart.

Jingxing looked at the Yongjun camp from the battlements of the city wall, and there was a dead silence in the Yongjun camp. The high morale of today's troops has disappeared, and the haze of defeat is now hanging over the heads of the soldiers of the Yongjun army.

Unlike the silent Yongjun barracks, the morale of the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army was extremely high at this time.

"Victory !!"

When Chu Luxu and Wuluo led the troops back to the camp, their ears were filled with the cheering shouts of the soldiers of Bingzhou.

Chu Luxu and Wu Luo stepped on the high platform and saluted Wang Rong, and said with a smile:

"The Last General! Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!"

"The Last General! Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!"

Wang Rong stepped forward quickly, helped the two of them up, and said with a laugh: "Lao Chu, Sledgehammer, do you know who the Yongjun cavalry will be today?"

The two looked at each other, both puzzled, and only remembered that the flag had the word "Mongolian" written on it.

"He's Mengsu!" Yuan Tiangang excitedly hammered Wuluo's shoulder on the side, and said loudly, "The sledgehammer is famous today, this Mengsu is a powerful general held up by the Guanzhong Imperial Court!"

This battle can be said to have been planned by Wang Rong for a long time, using the light enemy of the Yong army to prompt it to attack, and then confronted head-on, hiding armor and riding in the cavalry array.

If the battle is won, it will not be able to expand the victory, but if it is defeated, it will be like not falling on the mountain, and it will be out of control.

From the beginning of its establishment to the present, Yongguo has attached great importance to cavalry and horses. Fighting against the Yong army is to a large extent cavalry combat, and Wang Rong's general and state wolf cavalry training city armor cavalry are to offset the Yongjun's advantage in cavalry.

"The great war is about to start, and our army's chances of victory have increased by one percent!"

Wang Rong clenched his fists, hammered the railing fiercely, and looked at Yuan County in the south, he knew that Jing Xing was in Yuan County at this time.

Jing Xing, as a general of Yongguo, has heard a lot about this person, but he doesn't know much about his ability and achievements. As a descendant of the nobles of the Chu State, he has been living in Guanzhong, and brought the Qu Jingzhao clan into the Yongguo court with his own strength, relying on his military exploits.

After the second prince successfully ascended the throne, the old Qin nobles attached very little, and there was no one in the Bashu Haoqiang, and only the Kanto and Southern clans who moved into Guanzhong could be relied on. And Jingxing also threw himself into the command of the second prince early, and was rightfully trusted by the second prince.

On the high platform, all the generals of the Bingzhou Army were smiling, but Huang Fujian was worried, he looked at Wang Rong's excited expression, and couldn't help sighing.

In fact, he completely disagreed with Wang Rong's westward expansion, and fought head-on with Jingxing in Yuan County in Hedong County.

If he was defeated, Wang Rong's prestige would be discredited, and the elite would be lost, and he would be unable to conquer again within a few years after fleeing back to the state.

Even if Wang Rong defeated Jingxing, it only made the Guanzhong court more fearful, and was regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, which caused a stronger backlash from the Yongjun.

After the victory, it was not easy to plunder Hedong, but now with the help of the Hedong family, the cities are much stronger than before, and there are many more guards.

The state army did not carry siege equipment, and it is foreseeable that the losses of the siege were far greater than the looted materials.

Wang Rong also noticed Huangfu Jian's sigh, thought for a moment, and asked, "Mr. Huangfu, it's because I didn't follow your strategy, so I'm sighing here?"

Huangfu Jian frowned slightly, looked at Wang Rong's puzzled expression, and said thoughtfully: "I still think that Hou Ye should first take the development of the state as the priority, and now that Hou Ye is still fledgling, he should temporarily avoid the edge of the Yong army, and fighting with the Yong army in Hedong will only add to the loss and no benefit."

When Chu Luxu and the others heard Huang Fujian's words, they all looked at Wang Rong, although they did not raise objections, but they did have some doubts in their hearts about Wang Rong's choice to go west.

Before entering Hedong in the west, Wang Rong and Huang Fujian had an argument.

On the same day, the military discussion in the Hou Mansion was held, and the emperor was strong

He said that he should hold the Taihang Eight Mountains, consolidate the defenses of Shangdang, Lin He, Shuofang, Yunzhong and Yanmen, actively develop the people's livelihood, hoard grain and grass, and train soldiers.

Shangdang County has a high and dangerous terrain, and has been a strategic place since ancient times, and there are two basins in the territory of Changzhi Basin and Jincheng Basin. With Taihang in the east, Wangwu in the south, and Taiyue in the west, as long as you occupy the mountain checkpoints and hold the main roads with very few troops, you can rule and merge with peace of mind and accumulate strength.

Although Wang Rong recognized Huang Fujian's general strategy, he insisted on defeating Jingxing in Hedong County first, and then retreated back to Merge Prefecture with peace of mind to rectify the military and political affairs of Merge Prefecture.

Wang Rong glanced at the people on the high platform, looked at their puzzled eyes, and said, "From the current point of view, it is indeed no good to go west to Hedong, even if you defeat Jingxing and get supplies, you will not be able to make ends meet, but it will weaken your strength."

Wang Rong turned around and looked at the setting sun in the distance. The remnant sun on the horizon is like blood, and the sunset is more like a flame beating.

Wang Rong continued, "Although I have unified and annexed the state, I am not famous, and I am just a local warlord. Surrounded by wolves, it is almost impossible to rule and develop production with peace of mind. At that time, the wolves will be everywhere, and even I will not have the confidence to be able to resist it, so I will defeat Jingxing in Yuan County! The so-called, fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come. Only by defeating Jingxing and becoming famous all over the world can the wolves be afraid and dare not act rashly, and can Bingzhou develop quietly for two years, or even three years. At the same time, it also attracts the attention of the corporal of the world, so that they can include me, an unknown person, in the list of followers!"

Wang Rong slowly turned around and faced the people behind him, his sharp eagle eyes scanned the people in front of him, behind him was the gradually darkening sky, and the blood-like remnant sun.

Huangfu looked at Wang Rong in a daze, he never knew that Wang Rong looked so far in politics before, he defected to him, and he only valued Wang Rong's military ability, but now Wang Rong's words completely subverted his concept.

Wang Rong sat back in his chair quietly, he looked at the crowd and said, "If possible, I hope that after defeating Jingxing, I can occupy Hedong County."

Chu Luxu asked suspiciously, "Master Hou, we don't seem to have siege equipment, right?"

Wang Rong looked at Huang Fujian and said, "Before leaving Zhanghua City, I had already given an order to Mr. Chu, asking him to gather skilled craftsmen and build siege equipment, count the days, these siege equipment should already be on the way, right?"

Huang Fujian nodded and replied, "The eagle letter I just received yesterday, forty ladders, ten battering rams, and parts for assembling building carts and catapults, are already on their way."

Wang Rong looked at the sunset in the distance, which was about to sink into the horizon, and muttered, "Tomorrow, it will be a hard battle."
