Fortunately, during this period of time, Chu Yan also successively sent over more than 10,000 horses that Xiao Yunhe had privately hidden. Coupled with the Hui and Dian horses he bought in Chengdu to Wu Zhongru's salt number and Huàn, the number is about 30,000. The total number of soldiers recruited reached 40,000. Except for 10,000 soldiers who stayed in Chengdu. All the rest were transferred to Hanzhou, an important military town.

During this time, the official road from Chengdu to Hanzhou has become the most lively place. All day long, it is crowded with people and cars. There was an endless stream of grain, grass and weapons sent by soldiers and horses from all over the country. Autumn harvest is on. Shuzhong miraculously ushered in a year of great abundance after the war. The people were overjoyed and pleasantly surprised.

Xiao Yunhe himself was also very happy. When I first entered Shu, I saw abandoned farmland everywhere I looked. Originally, I was worried that I would have to eat relief in the coming year. Didn't think of it. As soon as his repeated measures were launched, he actually saved this year's harvest in time. In just a few months, the Mintian in Chengdu and the Juntun in Hanzhou. More than eighty percent of the production has resumed, and the harvested grain has already filled the warehouse.

Once ready, people's livelihood is stable. Shimin took Wu Yuanheng and Gao Gu and left the Han Wangfu in Chengdu and went to the military town of Hanzhou to begin to vigorously rectify military affairs. It was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, although Wu Yuelin was a little reluctant, and wanted to stay at home for the festival before leaving. But he didn't dare to keep it. She knew that when a man like King Han wanted to do business, he would never let him have any obstacles. Although she hoped that King Han would be by her side at all times, she was also more clear. If you want to get such a man's affection, the most important thing is not to bring him any burden.

months of time. The city of Hanzhou, which had almost become a ruin, is now restored to normal. Tang Hanchen is worthy of being a veteran who has followed Li Mian for many years, and his means of handling civil affairs are not weak. In the army, the original thousands of people here, plus some newly recruited, are probably more than 10,000 people. Under the leadership of him and Song Liangchen, they maintained the law and order of the state city in an orderly manner and carried out some routine training. Now, the military town of Hanzhou has concentrated almost seventy percent of the troops and all the horses under the rule of Xichuan Jiedu, and it has suddenly become a little crowded and busy.

After Xiao Yunhe arrived, he immediately began to build a military camp horse farm and build all kinds of houses. To the west of Hanzhou City, a large area of open space was enclosed and used as a military fortress. An army of 30,000 and 20,000 horses were all settled in the fastest time. Seeing so many horses, especially the more than 10,000 tall and strong horses transported from the Fengxiang area, the soldiers of Shu were greatly surprised, and at the same time smiled. Tang Hanchen also let out a long breath. For a period of time, he worked almost day and night, and he didn't get a good night's sleep. Well, now the King of Han himself is here.

Planning and then acting is Xiao Yunhe's consistent principle of doing things. Before officially starting to rectify military affairs, he summoned Wu Yuanheng, Tang Hanchen, and Gao Gu together to discuss ways to carry out restructuring. Before the Xichuan Festival, the army was actually no worse than now, and even stronger. It was precisely because of the confusion of military orders and the vague responsibilities of the appointed generals that the military orders were not smooth at the critical moment and the army could not be formed. At the same time, the Shu army was also influenced by those extravagant and lazy officials, and they have always neglected their training and took it lightly. Even some people with bad intentions have become ruffians, often violating the people. For the sake of the generals, they will turn a blind eye and will not stop and sanction.

In view of these circumstances, Xiao Yunhe and everyone agreed that they must use severe punishment to restrain the Shu army. In the past, the loose military orders and military regulations have all been revised. The penalties for violating the order have been increased. At the same time, some budgets for military pay and living expenses have also been increased. It can be called a combination of grace and power. In fact, Shuzhong has always been very wealthy. Chengdu alone has nearly a million people, which is not much different from the population of the national capital at its peak. It is more than enough to raise these tens of thousands of troops. It's just that Xiao Yunhe doesn't want to win by quantity at the beginning, but wants to build a good army and set an example in the army first.

And this example can naturally only be the Flying Dragon Rider, the Ten Thousand Riders under the personal command of the King of Han - the Flying Dragon Rider!

The more than 10,000 horses transported from Fengxiang were all good horses carefully selected by Xiao Yunhe at the beginning. He is long and large, extremely explosive, and his strongest is to rush into battle.

Due to the soldiers and horses before the Jiannan Xichuan Festival, the name system is a little chaotic. Xiao Yunhe changed all the soldiers and horses under the Xichuan Festival to the number, and they were unified as the Jianchuan Army. Xiao Yunhe himself. He personally served as the commander of Jianchuan and the governor of the capital. And the Flying Dragon Rider is an elite iron horse under the personal command of Marshal Jianchuan. Xiao Yunhe appointed Guo Gang to the honorary official position of Flying Dragon Rider. The other soldiers and horses under his rule were divided into four divisions, and the four armies of the vanguard, the rear army, the left battalion, and the right battalion were respectively formulated. Soldiers and horses below the envoys, as well as generals and other positions, are handed down layer by layer to ensure that everyone is in charge. The responsibilities of each person are very clear.

Now that the overall strategy has been done, the next most important thing is training.

First of all, of course, this precious 10,000 flying dragon riders are carefully built. In fact, there is no shortage of heroes in Shu. The reason why there have always been few strong cavalry. There are several reasons for this. One of the most important reasons is that it is difficult to have good horses. As we all know, most of the horses used in Shu are Yunnan horses known as bantam horses. Although the stamina is excellent, it is simply impossible to assemble a cavalry with a strong impact. Another reason. is a terrain constraint. Shuzhong is mountainous, horses are difficult to travel, and it is rare to train good cavalry. So. Shuzhong has always been dominated by infantry. Once you encounter a strong enemy cavalry, it will be very difficult. As for the training ground, Xiao Yunhe made a very bold idea: the Jianchuan Army Cavalry Training Ground was built on a large plain in the northwest of Hanzhou.

Hanzhou is located in the westernmost part of Xichuan, surrounded by mountains to the east and west, and only an open plain pasture in the northwest is bordered by Victoria. Victoria was originally also a prefecture and county under the rule of Xichuan Jiedu. But it has fallen into the hands of the Tibetans.

Speaking of the fall of Victoria, there is another story that makes people laugh. The ancient name of Victoria was Jiang Weicheng, because Jiang Wei and Ma Zhong defeated the rebels here during the Shu Han Dynasty. Later, it was renamed Victoria in the Tang Dynasty, although it has always been barren, but it is the gateway town of Shuzhong to Tubo. The Tibetans have attacked again and again over the years. None of them can be captured. Later, I came up with a crooked idea that made people laugh and cry. They sent a woman to marry the garrison of Victoria. Twenty years passed. The sons born to these women grew up, and when the Tibetans came to attack the land, they really opened the city gates and surrendered. Therefore, there is a proverb in Shu: Victoria is lost in the belly of a woman.

But this city, which fell into the belly of the woman, has now become a springboard for the Tibetan invasion of Xichuan, and the troops have been deployed here all the year round, ready to attack at any time. Due to the fact that between Victoria and Hanzhou, there is a plain area of flat rivers, and the Tubo subway can be driven straight into it without fear. In addition, the military strength of Xichuan was not strong before, so the repeated defeats over the years have turned Xichuan into a veritable living granary of Tibet.

Xiao Yunhe's bold decision is tantamount to choosing the battlefield as a training ground. His idea is that soldiers should always have a sense of crisis. The construction of the training ground for the flying dragon riders in the northwest of Hanzhou directly facing Victoria has two meanings. First, it is to make this army an iron-blooded army with a keen sense of smell and can fight at any time, and secondly, it is also to send a message to the soldiers and civilians of Xichuan and the Tubo people: I, Xichuan, am bound to recover Victoria!

10,000 Wyvern-Riding Knights are selected by open selection, in the army, by eliminating competition. It took nearly half a month to make a preliminary determination of these 10,000 people. Subsequently, Xiao Yunhe made another bold decision: to cover the soldiers and horses of Hanzhou out of the city in the form of attacking and harassing the war, and build a flying dragon riding camp. He personally put on his horse and marched to Victoria with a new group of 10,000 flying dragoons. At the same time, Tang Hanchen and others brought 10,000 troops and 20,000 people to start repairing the Flying Dragoon Camp in the plains.

In fact, Xiao Yunhe is also bold and careful. He clearly expected that because the Tubo had been defeated at the hands of the Han King in Fengxiang before, the Tubo people had some fears about the Jianchuan army now under the command of the Han King. In addition, at this time in Tibet, it is also the busy season of agriculture on the plateau, and it should not be ready to invade and occupy it. There shouldn't be too many soldiers and horses in Victoria. Moreover, even if it really fights, he can take it step by step and be invincible first. As expected, the Tibetan soldiers and horses in Victoria closed the city gate and couldn't come out, no matter how Xiao Yunhe scolded the formation, not a single soldier showed up.

Tang Hanchen and others also knew that if the King of Han was in front for one more day, the more dangerous it would be. Therefore, the sergeants and civilians worked overtime day and night, and in just five days, a cavalry army village with a width of more than ten miles and a length of twenty miles was built. When the news of the completion came, Xiao Yunhe retreated in the middle of the night without showing a trace and retreated to the military village. The Tubo man Zhang Er King Kong was confused, and he didn't know what tricks the Jianchuan army played.

In this way, in the northwest of the Hanzhou military town, an outpost military town appeared - a large military village under the command of the Han King himself. Training day and night in the military village is in full swing. At night, it's as bright as day. There is an endless stream of sentry posts from all walks of life, and the guard is very tight. The Tubo people didn't know until now that they had fallen for the trick, and they actually let the Jianchuan army build an impregnable defense line under their noses.

Similarly, the 10,000 soldiers stationed here are also aware of crisis at all times. The training during the day is like going to the battlefield and fighting in person, and they are not allowed to be taken seriously. Otherwise, the war that will come at any time will kill them, and at night, they will not dare to take off their clothes and armor, and everyone will sleep with them. It can be said that these people are an iron-blooded division trained on the front line, who can fight when they are called.

Xiao Yunhe personally sat in the army village to direct the training, and gave full play to his talents in marching and fighting and training soldiers. In just two months, this newly formed new army has undergone radical changes. Xiao Yunhe vaguely saw the shadow of the Xuanjia Army from their bodies - the invincible army of the king who followed him to conquer the world in the past!

Xiao Yunhe's heart finally had some comfort: this is the army I want!

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is early winter. Winter is a good season for military training. There is no farming, and there are few diseases. Seeing that Xichuan Cangyu was full, Xiao Yunhe's ambition gradually expanded, and he issued another conscription order, conscripting 20,000 troops under the rule of Xichuan Jiedu.

After the order, the people of the Quartet signed up for the army very enthusiastically. In just three days, as many as 100,000 people responded to the call!

It seems that the people of Shu have been deeply infected these days, and the folk customs have become more fruitful. They know that only by arming themselves can they defend their homeland and the country and survive on their own feet. Many people, in order to save the expenses of the government, also brought their own weapons, quilts, and even horses. But after all, the capacity of the military camp is limited, Xiao Yunhe asked the recruiting officers to be carefully selected, and in the end only 20,000 people were accommodated. The 20,000 new troops will first conduct preliminary training in the prefectures and counties and the generals assigned by the Jiedu envoys. After grinding into semi-finished products, they were transferred to the military town of Hanzhou to receive unified training.

In this way, almost all the prefectures and counties under the rule of Xichuan Jiedu have scenes of training and emphasizing martial arts. In the south, Jiazhou near Dadushui, Huzhou near Wenjiang, and Xiongguan Jiange in the north, soldiers and horses can be seen in drills everywhere. The Shu people, who were originally weak and extravagant in life, have also become aggressive and energetic. Everyone walked as if they were two minutes faster than usual. In the past, the most lively Golan Qufang is now almost a crowd. The common people and officials had time, and they preferred to ride horses, shoot arrows, and refine their muscles and bones.

In the winter of Shuzhong, there is not as much snow as in the north, but it is also a little cold in the mountains. Xiao Yunhe was bare, carrying a long iron horse. He personally instructed in the barracks in equestrian and mounted archery training.

The winter sun shone on his bronzed skin, as if it were pacing for a golden light. After practicing this autumn, Xiao Yunhe felt that almost all the fat accumulated on his body had disappeared without a trace. The muscles and muscles have become stronger than ever. Originally, his body was a little strong. After practicing these days, the muscles are even more bulging, and Chu Yan seems to have a huge amount of strength that can be squandered endlessly. Every day when you practice against each other. Xiao Yunhe almost dared to have a few tough encounters with Song Liangchen, who was known for his brute strength. His skill, coupled with his amazing strength, often made Song Liangchen defeated, much to the chagrin of this barbarian.

At the same time, Xiao Yunhe had handed over some martial arts to Gao Gu and the others before. Nearly a year has passed, and these people's martial arts have obviously increased by leaps and bounds. Meantime. The sergeants they taught have also made a qualitative leap in their personal fighting ability. In the past, the cavalry of the Great Qi fought with the strong cavalry of Hu soldiers like Tubo, relying more on tactics and equipment to make up for the lack of personal combat effectiveness. But now. Xiao Yunhe already has confidence: at least the 10,000 flying dragon riders under his command will never fall behind in a one-on-one confrontation with the Tubo Plateau horsemen!

Flying Dragons rode in the camp. Every day, the yellow sand rolled up by the horse's hooves will be blown into the city of Victoria. And every day when the flying dragon rides the training ground, the Tubo people will also stand at the head of the city and watch from afar. Although they could not see anything, it was obvious that the enemy was training on such a large scale, and that he was training under their noses without fear, and they were a little restless.

Although Victoria City has been closed. Xiao Yunhe couldn't send someone in to find out what news. But through his observations over the past few days, he has seen signs of an increase in troops in Victoria. It seems that the Tibetan people have realized the danger and strengthened their precautions.

Early that morning, the waking horn sounded in the Wyvernhorse barracks as usual. Training is about to begin. The soldiers in each battalion and village were all assembled in a nervous and orderly manner. Arrived at the school grounds. At this time, there was a secret sentinel that unexpectedly found signs of activity in the northwest.

Could it be a Tibetan spy?

Xiao Yunhe immediately ordered to send a hundred light cavalry archers to check the news. If it's the other party's scout, solve it on the spot. A hundred cavalry roared out like a whirlwind of clouds. After a while, these people came to report: it was not the spies of Tubo, but more than a thousand people of Daqi.

How could the people of Daqi appear between the two armies facing each other? Xiao Yunhe was slightly surprised, thinking of the story of Victoria's loss of the woman's belly, and raised his vigilance, fearing that the Tubo people would repeat their old tricks. He personally led more than a thousand cavalry and intercepted this group of civilians.

The people were all in rags, and they were all very tired and panicked. After seeing Xiao Yunhedi's army coming, they all knelt down in a choked voice. Xiao Yunhe felt a little surprised, looking at the appearance of these people, they looked very much like Han people who were used as slaves after being captured by Tubo. He stopped a few people and asked why.

Those people said that they used to be the people of Shuzhong, and they were plundered by the Tubo people in the early years and became slaves. has been imprisoned in Victorian City as a coolie. In recent days, a general has come to Tibet, saying that Zampu is going to take a concubine and amnesty the prisoners. So they released more than 1,000 of them.

"How could there be such a kind Tibetan barbarian?" Xiao Yunhe was very strange and asked, "He dared to let you go, probably because you should be his slaves." Have you asked clearly, who is that Tibetan general?"

One of the people was amazed and said, "It's amazing." That Tibetan general is exactly the same as us Han Chinese. And he himself told us that his ancestor was the British Duke Li Ji. During the Shenghou Dynasty, because of the rebellion of Li Jingye, the grandson of Li Ji, Li Ji's family was almost wiped out, and the surname Li was cut off. Among them, there is a descendant of the Xu family, who was exiled to the Tubo Absolute Domain, and has been in the third generation so far. And this Tibetan general has a Han name, called Xu Sheren!"

"Xu Sheren, the descendant of the British Duke?" Xiao Yunhe was suddenly surprised. I also asked these people many times to verify it, and all of them said the same thing.

Xiao Yunhe's heart churned: Li Ji, Li Maogong, is the most rare talent of a general after Li Jing. From the history books, Xiao Yunhe also learned. Li Ji later lived up to his expectations and took charge of the military at the hands of his son Gaozong, and finally destroyed Goguryeo in one fell swoop. It's a pity that later, Li Ji's grandson Li Jingye and his clan were all killed by Wu Meiniang. Didn't think of it. But there is still a bloodline left behind in Tibet. Moreover, he has also become a general who commands the army and is the enemy of Daqi. However, this descendant of Li Ji remembers the Han blood and ancestral wisdom in his body, and now he has returned to the captured people in Shuzhong......

This is really a great contradiction and irony! If Li Ji had a spirit in heaven, he would definitely cry and laugh.

Immediately, another common person told Xiao Yunhe a piece of news that shocked him: Chisong Zampu of Tibet. What queen is going to marry the East Woman Kingdom as a concubine. Therefore, he was very happy and ordered a nationwide amnesty for prisoners in Tibet. The Tubo army that increased the troops in Victoria City was to welcome the queen of the Eastern Female Kingdom.

Hearing this news, Xiao Yunhe's heart suddenly shocked: Moyi, are you still going to be occupied by the Tubo people after all? Seeing that the call for help was fruitless. The treasure was not taken either. For the sake of your local people, are you willing to go to the barren land of Tubo and marry a barbarian like a bison?!

Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but feel angry. He remembered the scene when the two of them played "High Mountains and Flowing Water" together in the palace of the Han Dynasty in the national capital, remembered the sword that she flew out to block for herself on Zhongnan Mountain, and also remembered the golden silk shawl now draped on Wu Yuelin's body. I also remembered all the promises I made to her in the past......

If Moyi marries Chisong Dezan, then the Dongnu Kingdom will completely become a subject state of Tubo. So. The area around Yazhou will become a huge gap, completely exposed to the combined forces of Tubo and Nanzhao. Here in Victoria, the Tufan people are destined to be difficult in the face of the 30,000 army under their personal command. However, if they have such a new stronghold as Dongnu Country, Xichuan will face even greater pressure!

Privately, the woman I Xiao Yunhe fell in love with. If you can't even protect a woman you like and want to be taken away by the enemy, then what face do you have to fight for the world and the four seas!

Without further ado, Xiao Yunhe immediately decided!

He sent troops to escort all these people into Hanzhou City, and let Tang Hanchen be responsible for dispersing and arranging these people. Meantime. sent a meteor horse and sent two of his own handwritten letters. One letter to Yin Weigao in Chengdu. Let him prepare for the logistics of the war and be ready for the big war at any time. The other letter was sent to the Han Wangfu and handed over to Wu Yuanheng, so that he and Xue Cuncheng could rush to the Hanzhou Flying Dragon Cavalry Barracks.

Whether you can send troops or not, it is better to listen to the opinions of these two people. Xiao Yunhe didn't want to ruin his hard work for a long time because of his momentary righteousness.

Soon, Wu Yuanheng and Xue Cuncheng came. It is a matter of military affairs, and Xue Cuncheng, the Bodhisattva of Nishuo, is not pretentious this time, and is very serious and strict.

As soon as the two came, Xiao Yunhe invited them to his military tent and discussed them behind closed doors.

Xiao Yunhe said straight to the point: "I want to fight Victoria and rescue the East Women's Country." ”

Xue Cuncheng's face was extremely bad, and he said unceremoniously: "What is the reason? Shuzhong has just recovered a little vitality, and you have to use the army Dou Wu to expand externally." This is a great joy beyond one's own efforts. Although I have heard that you have trained your 30,000 soldiers and horses well. But now you have to invade the outside world, not fight back. If you don't have twice as much strength as the enemy, this is like hitting a stone with an egg! Although I am not a scholar who understands military affairs, I believe that the most important thing at the moment is to recuperate and gather strength. Victoria is nothing more than a barren place that has been in the hands of its rivals for many years. Now that the troops are attacked, even if they are defeated, this place will become the biggest burden on Xichuan. ”

Xiao Yunhe was angry when he heard this, slapped the table with a slap, and was about to scold Xue Cuncheng angrily. On the side, Wu Yuanheng hurriedly persuaded Xiao Yunhe as soon as possible, and said to Xue Cuncheng: "Ziming, let me tell you about it? King Han is determined to attack Victoria for three important reasons: First, Victoria has been the boundary of Shuzhong for hundreds of years, and it was formerly known as Jiang Weicheng. It is only in recent years that it has fallen into the hands of Tibet, and this information must be known, right? Although Victoria is poor and barren, there are also nearly 100,000 people in the city. These people are now enslaved by the Tubo people, living a life that is inferior to cattle and horses, begging for the recovery of the king every day. From the perspective of people's hearts, it is inevitable to regain Victoria sooner or later. ”

Xue Cuncheng hurriedly argued: "I didn't say no, but now I just can't raise troops!"

Wu Yuanheng saw that King Han was angry, and persuaded Xue Cuncheng again and again: "I also heard about it just now. Tubo Zampu is going to marry the little queen of the Nadong Nu Kingdom as a concubine. In this way, the Dongnu Kingdom will become a vassal of Tibet, and the area around Yazhou will be completely exposed to the Tubo people. This is extremely detrimental to my Nishikawa. In order to stop this behavior of the Tibetans, it was only possible to break through Victoria, assault on the western front until the East Women's Kingdom, and cut off its connection with Tibet. This is the second reason. ”

Xue Cuncheng was stunned: "There are still such things?" but...... But if people want to marry themselves, is it appropriate for us to interfere in this way? Can this be stopped for a while, but can it be stopped for a lifetime? People are willing to marry and the other are willing to marry, and the Dongnu Kingdom is determined to fight with Tibet, can we stop it?"

Wu Yuanheng smiled slightly after hearing this, and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yunhe: "This is the third reason...... Let's talk about this yourself. ”

Xiao Yunhe didn't hide it, and said: "The woman that Tubo Zanpu wants to marry is definitely not voluntary. The Eastern Woman Kingdom was also coerced by the forces of Tubo, and they actually still wanted to belong to my Daqi. ”

Xue Cuncheng sneered: "Why do you have such wishful thinking? If you want to find an excuse for your reckless military force, then this excuse is too clumsy!"

Xiao Yunhe glared at Xue Cuncheng angrily, and slapped his palm on the low table in front of several people: "Just by - that woman is the confidante of this king's friend of life and death, is it enough?!"

Xue Cuncheng's eyes widened in amazement, and he looked at King Han with a pestle, unable to speak for a long time. After a while, he muttered to himself: "Yu Gong, don't let the Eastern Female Kingdom marry Tubo......;

Xue Cuncheng suddenly glared, and slapped him the table: "I didn't say it, fight!

Wu Yuanheng smiled on the side and said, "Ziming, this is the first time that you have taken the initiative to agree with King Han's point of view. ”

Xue Cuncheng was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "Then it's none of my business now?" Fighting a war is your business, and I don't know anything about it. Less accompaniment, farewell. After that, he actually took care of himself and left.

Xiao Yunhe let out a long breath: "I can send troops with peace of mind." Even the most difficult people in the world did not object to my military plan this time. ”

Wu Yuanheng laughed: "It seems that the adults invited him here, not for this extra move." Even Xue Cuncheng doesn't object to you sending troops, and the people of the world and the people of Shuzhong won't object either. In that case, let's start preparing for the use of troops!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yunhe no longer had any scruples, and was full of ambition.

Immediately, Xiao Yunhe called a few people who had stayed behind before and inquired in detail about the situation in Victoria. The general, Xu Sheren, arrived with his army only yesterday, and he brought nearly 10,000 people with him. It seems that in addition to strengthening the defense of Victoria, another main purpose is to help the Tibetan Zampu welcome relatives. From Victoria to the west, it is a relatively easy road to walk, without the barrier of cascading mountains and rivers. If you want to greet your family, that's also the best route. Similarly, for Xiao Yunhe, the only way to stop them is to first break through Victoria, and then break west from Victoria.

The reason why Victoria is difficult to attack is that Tubo used the trickery of a woman's belly to break through is that the terrain here is very complex and dangerous. Victoria's state town is actually very small, like a long gourd with narrow ends, sandwiched between two steep mountains. Previously, the Tang court had built an urn city in the north to defend against the invasion of Tibet. It is this level that makes the tens of thousands of troops in Tibet have no plan or action, and the fundamental method is broken. After the Tibetans used ridiculous tricks to take Victoria, they concocted the direction of facing Hanzhou in the south. A higher urn city pass was built, called Suzaku Pass. This pass is more than three feet high and extremely thick. There are five arrow towers on each side of the level, and dense archers are placed on the towers at all times. The geographical situation is somewhat similar to that of the Sword Pavilion Xiongguan, and now it seems that it is almost impossible to break through the Suzaku Pass and enter the city. Such a geographical location is indeed very tricky to overcome.

Xiao Yunhe and Wu Yuanheng described it according to the local people and the people in the Victorian release area. A geographical map was drawn. They looked at the map and thought about it for a long time, but they really couldn't think of a practical and safe way to attack Victoria. Regardless of Yiqiē's brutal and hard attack, it is obviously not a cost-effective method, nor is it his Xiao Yunhe's combat style.

Those few people reminded. Although Victoria City is very closed, on the mountains on both sides, there are often hunters in Shu hunting on it. And from time to time, there are also hunters, who will be released into the city. Because the Tibetan people have always been meat-based. They are always very interested in the prey that the hunters have hit. These hunters may know some special information. And Victoria's city is barren. The Tibetans didn't bother to do anything here, and basically relied on the outside to transport supplies to the army. It's just that the Han people who are confined in the city are all planting some thin soil by themselves and struggling to make a living.

Xiao Yunhe and Wu Yuanheng believe that this is a very important clue. Immediately, he sent people to the mountains and forests outside Hanzhou to look for scattered hunters. It didn't take long for the people sent to bring back seven or eight Orions without failing in their mission.

Xiao Yunhe comforted these people and asked about the situation in Victoria. Orions said. They were originally from Victorian City, and they had been hunting in the mountains on both sides of the state city. To the east of the state city is the green mountain, and to the west is the Canglong Mountain, both of which are very steep. But there are also many prey that can be fought. After the Tibetans occupied the state capital, they built it into an important military town. Meantime. It is also difficult for them to have meat to eat every day, as they do on the plateau. I often eat some barley noodles that are brought into the city. As a result, several Tibetan generals and officials privately coerced these hunters to go out of the city to hunt. Later, they will hunt the prey and sacrifice it to them to satisfy their hunger. At the same time, the families of the hunters are all held captive, and if they dare to mess around, their families will be beheaded. These hunters return to the state city every three to five days to hand in the prey they have hunted back to keep their families safe and get a little bit of rations to keep them alive.

There are nearly 100 people in Victoria City. And these people are the most oppressed Han slaves in Victoria, and they are not regarded as human beings at all. But they are worried about the lives of their families, and they can only endure their lives for these Tubo people.

Xiao Yunhe was pleasantly surprised in his heart, and patiently persuaded these hunters to say: "Actually, Daqi has long wanted to recover Victoria and rescue the people of Daqi who were trapped in the city. It's just that there is no suitable way to infiltrate the city and capture the state city as quickly as possible. Only in this way can the number of casualties in the city be reduced as much as possible. This time, are you willing to help this king break through Victoria?"

The hunters looked at each other in amazement, and said, "What can we do to help the adults? If we act rashly, then our family ......."

Wu Yuanheng said on the side: "Your current life can be said to be for people to slave, even cattle and horses. Maybe one day, if the Tibetans are not happy, they will kill you and your family. Rather than living in such a precarious situation, the long pain is better than the short pain, so he simply put his heart into helping the King of Han and attacking Victoria. Only in this way will it be possible to settle for yourself and your family once and for all. Only by returning to Daqi can the people of the entire Victoria state be able to achieve true peace and enjoy a peaceful life. You still don't know the situation in Xichuan, right? After the war, in just half a year, the people of Xichuan have lived a solid and peaceful life. Don't you want to live like that? Trust King Han, he is the only one who can solve your problems in the sea of suffering. ”

Wu Yuanheng's expression was very calm, as if he was talking like a homely conversation. Between the words, it is very contagious and persuasive. The hunters each looked at each other a few times, discussed it for a while, and then made up their minds: "Okay! Rather than live like this, it is better to fight, and maybe you can live a good life." Lord Han, just say, let's do it?"

"Very good! If you can recover Victoria this time and rescue the 100,000 people who have fallen, you will be a great hero!" Xiao Yunhe was overjoyed. He said to them, "In the past two days, you have hunted more prey, and said that it was dedicated to the new Tibetan generals, and you would enter the city when you had the opportunity." After entering the city, you should pay more attention to the movements in the city of Victoria, especially the movements of the newly transferred troops from Tibet. This king estimates. In the near future, they should take action, even withdraw from Victoria City to do other important things. As long as there are signs of withdrawal of troops in Victoria, you must report it as much as possible. After that, I will make other detailed arrangements. You hundred hunters. Now, you don't need to tell all the hunters. One less person knows, one more point of security. ”

"Yes!" the hunters took the order very solemnly. Xiao Yunhe didn't dare to let them stay longer, so as not to arouse suspicion. The kind words soothed for a while. Let them each go back to the mountains and continue to hunt.

After sending the Orion away, Xiao Yunhe immediately ordered. The Flying Dragoon Cavalry camp was demolished, and the whole army withdrew to Hanzhou City. In order to dispel the scruples of the Tubo people and let their army rest assured and boldly go to the Dongnu Kingdom, Xiao Yunhe made such an important decision. At the same time, he secretly transferred Gao Gu over. Let him take the most elite fifty armor soldiers, also disguised as the appearance of Hanzhou Orion, and lurked into Cangcui Mountain and Canglong Mountain. Lay the groundwork for the next step in the future.

After returning to Hanzhou Prefecture. Xiao Yunhe secretly issued a military order, and the whole army was ready for battle. Flying dragon riders, we must be prepared to tackle key problems at the fastest speed at the first time. Song Liangchen and Shi Yanfen. Each led 5,000 elite foot soldiers, and went into battle lightly, but they had to bring enough ropes, bows and arrows, etc. Prepare to climb the mountains and surprise Victoria. Tang Hanchen and Wu Yuanheng sat in Hanzhou City, ready to meet the front army at any time.

As soon as Qiē was ready, I waited for the news of those hunters. Gao Gu and others also often send back the inform. They are now, no different from ordinary hunters, and they hunt every day to adapt to this identity. At a glance, it is the real Orion. It's not so easy to disguise yourself. The first thing is to adapt yourself to your own identity, so that it is not easy to expose flaws.

Three days later, the hunters sent important news: the Tibetan people stationed in the city had withdrawn sixty percent and headed west. Now the Tibetan army stationed in the city is less than 7,000 people!

Here's your chance!

Xiao Yunhe immediately ordered Gao Gu to secretly gather all the hunters on the two mountains. Then, half of the ground was replaced, and they hid in the mountains. Gao Gu and others were mixed with Victorian hunters. At the appointed time, at the beginning of the night on the seventh day of November, open the Suzaku Gate!
