"Come on, you, a broken stick, and train soldiers, don't waste time." Zhang Xinyi said disdainfully.

"I'm not giving the king some of the burden, it's wrong." Zhang Xuli looked aggrieved.

"Then you go and practice, as for what kind of troops, whatever." Luo Feng said.

"It's still the king's knowledge." Zhang Xuli said with a smug smile.

"Cut." Zhang Xinyi glanced at Zhang Xuli.

"How many untrained militias do we have?" Luo Feng asked.

Tuoba Xiangchang said: "I am only responsible for mobilization, and I will give it all to Commander Zhang when I get here." ”

Zhang Xuli immediately continued: "I have received a total of 150,000 militiamen one after another, most of them have been allocated for training, and only the 30,000 people who have just arrived have not been assigned for training. ”

"The army is not a big problem, the main thing is resources." Jiang Yuxuan said: "The resources mobilized by the various cities are not enough for our army to go on the expedition, and we must wait until the autumn harvest, I am afraid that it will be too late." ”

"How could it be too late." Zhang Xuli asked.

Jiang Yuxuan said: "Now Xiujie has been storming Ma Xiaoke, in the battle of the Five Pine Forest, the Ningtai army was defeated, and now even Ningtai is dead, Ma Xiaoke withdrew to Lu'an City with the army, in this way, I am afraid that the city west of Lu'an City will be occupied by Xiujie within a month." ”

"Wouldn't it, so fast?" Zhang Xuli said in surprise.

"Now Xiujie's troops are strong, and he can attack Ma Xiaoke in several ways, Ma Xiaoke is newly defeated, and he has no ability to resist, otherwise he will not retreat directly to Lu'an City."

"That's what Jiang Tingguan said." Tuoba Xiangchang said: "Ma Xiaoke retreated directly to Lu'an City, the intention is obvious, that is, to widen the distance between him and Xiu Jie, to gain time, to rest in Lu'an City, and to prepare to fight with Xiu Jie again in Lu'an City." ”

"No, I'm going to lose again." Zhang Xuli said curiously.

Luo Feng said in a deep voice: "Xiu Jie is powerful, and with floating drags by his side, Ma Xiaoke should not be able to withstand Xiu Jie's attack." ”

"Not bad." Jiang Yuxuan said: "We must send troops to eliminate Uncle Chen before Ma Xiaoke is completely defeated, so that Zhongzhou is divided into two, and we can compete with Xiujie, otherwise when Xiujie destroys Ma Xiaoke, whether it is Uncle Chen returning to Xiujie or Xiujie uniting with Uncle Chen to fight us, we can't resist it, even if Xiujie's soldiers attack Uncle Chen, we can't compete with Xiujie." ”

"In this way, there is simply not enough time." Zhang Xinyi said.

"yes." Jiang Yuxuan said: "So when the time comes, I am ready to ask the king to go south, as long as Ma Xiaoke is defeated to a certain extent, directly find Ma Xiaoke, persuade him, and let him join us, so that our strength will increase a lot, and against Xiujie, we will increase some advantages." ”

"Hahaha, you're hoping that people will be defeated soon, it's very bad." Zhang Xuli laughed vigorously.

"Now that the overall situation in Middle-earth has begun to appear, it will definitely be the Roy Kingdom of Xiujie and the Kingdom of Saisha competing with us."

When Luo Feng heard this, he said: "Since Yuxuan said so, we will make two preparations, on the one hand, to capture Uncle Chen Zi and seize his territory, and on the other hand, to persuade Ma Xiaoke to let him join us, and maximize our power before the decisive battle with Xiujie." ”

"Yes." Everyone answered, and went to prepare.

After Ma Xiaoke retreated to Lu'an City, he ordered Ma Zhou to mobilize the troops and resources of the surrounding cities, and built fortifications to strengthen the city walls.

In the first battle of Wusonglin, Ning Tai and others were all killed, Ma Xiaoke was defeated, and his power was greatly reduced.

Now the only thing Ma Xiaoke wants is to mobilize all the combat power of the kingdom and fight with Xiujie, as long as he defeats Xiujie, he can go all the way west, even if he can't go west, he can also ensure the stability of his kingdom.

April 219 in the Middle-earth calendar.

Xiujie gathered the forces of the two legions, and at the suggestion of Futuo, set out for the city of Lu'an.

The army marched mightily on the road leading to the west gate of Lu'an City.

Xiu Jie personally led a legion as the Chinese army, with Xu Gong and He Xiqing on the left and right sides of the front.

Fu Tuo walked beside Xiu Jie, looked at the vast plain in front of him and said: "King, in front of you is the Huoyi Flatland, which has four waterways and fertile land, but unfortunately no one lives here, and it has become a wild place. ”

Looking at the flat land of Pingdan, Xiu Jie replied: "There are only so many people on the Central Continent, it is impossible for people to live everywhere, no matter how good the land is, what is the use." ”

If there is good land, there will be good resources, Futuo glanced at Xiujie, and felt that Xiujie in front of him was different from Xiujie he knew before, if he really unified Zhongzhou, I don't know if ordinary residents in the world will live better.

But now it can't be stopped, and the reunification of Middle-earth is imperative, which may be the inevitable trend of human development.

Fu Tuo said: "King, this time the destruction of the Aisi Kingdom is mainly to see the battle of the Flat Land. ”

Xiu Jie turned his head and looked at the floating tow and said, "What? Are you saying that Ma Xiaoke will also send troops to the Pingdi? ”

"Yes."

"Why didn't I see his legion."

"Xu Gong and He Xiqing in front should have a battle report coming soon."

Although Xiu Jie dislikes floating trailers more and more, Xiu Jie recognizes the strategy of floating trailers.

"What's the solution?"

Fu dragged back: "This time Ma Xiaoke will definitely mobilize all the combat strength of the Elsie Kingdom to fight with us, his troops, will not be less than ours, plus Ma Xiaoke's combat power is super high, but the front army has Xu Gong, you can fight with Ma Xiaoke, and after the war, the king will take the army to support, and suppress Ma Xiaoke's army on the left and right, and the commander of the Li Legion will lead the strength of an army, and enter directly from the middle to attack Lu'an City, at this time, Ma Xiaoke will inevitably panic, and he will be defeated without a fight." ”

Xiu Jie looked at the floating tow suspiciously, fighting a war depends on combat power, whoever has strong combat power can win. Now there are more and more heroes in the strategy, and there are more and more tricks in the war, which is really troublesome, but Xiu Jie still recognizes the strategy of floating dragging.

"Li Qunao, did you hear that?"

"Yes, don't worry, the king will definitely take Ru'an City." Li Qunao waved the mountain-opening axe in his hand.

"Report, king, Commander He Xiqing sent military information, and found that Ma Xiaoke's army is now at war with Ma Xiaoke's army, and it is in a stalemate."

"Go and find out immediately, how many people are in Ma Xiaoke's army?"

"Yes." The soldier immediately turned away.

"King, it doesn't matter how many people Ma Xiaoke has this time, now it must be a decisive battle, since Ma Xiaoke only attacks He Xiqing's army, let Xu Gong's army support He Xiqing, and we will also hurry up the march."

"Okay."

Xiu Jie called a soldier and said, "Go and give an order immediately, ordering Xu Gong to support He Xiqing and defeat Ma Xiaoke." ”

"Yes."

Ma Xiaoke led a large army in the middle of the Huoyi Plain, where Ma Xiaoke built fortifications, ditches, and earthen walls have been completed.
