Outside the city of Xiangyang, inside the camp.

After Lu Yuan and Bai Mengyang met, in order to celebrate the victory, a banquet was soon held.

"The king of Changsha fought bravely in this battle, first broke Guining Mansion, and destroyed Guilianyun. Then thousands of miles turned to the battle, and even Dingfang Ling and Xicheng Erfu. It also surrounded Xiangyang and shook the northern border.

This time, he set up an ambush in Shiliang Mountain, killed Zhang Chanyi again, and removed the Zhou people and the general of the country.

Between the ten months, tens of thousands of thieves were broken, and the two pillars of the country were punished in a row, and the three prefectures were determined. ”

At the banquet, as the commander of the coalition forces, Bai Mengyang raised his glass and made his first speech to Lu Yuan.

"Exactly! The king of Changsha successively killed Gui Lianyun and Zhang Chanyi, after this battle, the Zhou people went to one of the eight pillars of the country, and such military exploits should be praised by the world. ”

"Killing two innate people in a row, such martial arts, looking for heroes all over the world, few can do it. Now the king of Changsha is only thirty years old, but he has such achievements, and he should be the youngest generation and the first person in the world. ”

"I am waiting for the king of Changsha to be here, why can't I break the Zhou people?"

"Haha, this king knows that the king of Changsha would rather live up to his trust and surprise people in this battle. Now it seems that it is so! ”

On the high platform, many banquet guests on both sides also toasted one after another, congratulating Lu Yuan on his exploits this time.

These many sensual words spit out of people's mouths as if they didn't want money.

It's no wonder that these people are so flattering and flattering, it's really Lu Yuan's record this time, it's really too dazzling.

Tens of thousands of other thieves, even the three mansions and other military exploits, forget it.

Many people present were confident that if they had the same strength, they could do this.

But killing two congenitals in a row, besieging the county city of Xiangyang, these major events, but not everyone has the strength to do it.

Take Bai Mengyang as an example.

This Marquis of Wu An, who has been a congenital achievement for a hundred years, has been fighting in the military for one hundred and thirty years.

But in this 130-year military career, although Bai Mengyang has experienced more than 1,000 battles, the enemies that have been destroyed have reached millions.

The cities that were conquered were numbered in hundreds.

Even the country was destroyed.

But with such a record, Bai Mengyang's real killing is only three.

However, how young is Lu Yuan now?

He is only in his early thirties, but he is already the lord of a country and the founder of the country.

Since his debut, he has fought in the south and the north, and has successively pacified the Qixingmen and the two major rebellions of the Miao people.

Now he is personally mentioning 100,000 male divisions, turning to fight thousands of miles, fixing the three mansions of Xiangyang, punishing the two pillars, and besieging Xiangyang City, an important southern town of the Zhou people.

These many achievements add up, and there are more than 100 battles of all sizes, and the enemy troops defeated under Lu Yuan before and after are even more than 500,000 or 600,000. And the congenital who was killed by him had two of them.

Judging from this book data alone, although there is still a gap between Lu Yuan and Bai Mengyang, this gap has actually been greatly reduced.

has changed from the original 1 to 1 to 2.

At this time, Lu Yuan was poor, that is, he punished another congenital, destroyed a country, and achieved the achievement of breaking a million troops.

If the above is achieved, then it is not a problem to say that he is the second of Wu'anhou, or even surpass Wu'anhou.

After all, it took Wu Anhou one hundred and thirty years to achieve his current achievements.

But the time for Lu Yuan to achieve these achievements was only more than ten years.

Compared with the two, it is clear which is better and which is inferior.

It is precisely because of this that when Lu Yuan set up an ambush on the stone beam, the news came that Zhang Cicada's clothes would be punished again.

In the entire coalition army, even those who are no longer convinced by him and have never looked at him again, at this moment, they can't help but feel a sense of respect and fear from the heart.

This is the submission of the weak to the strong, the innate fear of the living in the face of terror, this is the instinct of life, and it is not affected by the will of the individual.

When you face it, it will naturally come out.

The most straightforward point.

Originally, before the surprise attack, Lu Yuan was in the camp, and there were still many people who dared to look at him.

But at this moment, don't talk about those who are not innate.

Even the Innate Grandmaster, in addition to Bai Mengyang, others such as Yang Jing, Yan Wangqiu, and Su Xuange could still remain calm in the face of Lu Yuan.

But when the two looked at each other, it was still a little unnatural.

This kind of posture is just like they faced Wu Anhou.

Yes, in their hearts, these people have already regarded Lu Yuan as a figure like Wu Anhou.

From the depths of my heart, I was afraid and afraid, and subconsciously put myself in a lower position.

Because in their hearts, they have already killed two innate Lu Yuan in a row, and they have already become a nemesis.

Grandmaster Buster.

Since they can kill the two pillars of the Zhou people, they can naturally kill them.

You must know that Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange, just a few days ago, they both fought with Zhang Chanyi.

But the result was that the two of them were not opponents at all in the face of the former general of the Zhou people, and they were both defeated.

And at this time, it was such a figure who had lost his level in a row, but he died under Lu Yuan.

Although everyone knows that Lu Yuan's ability to kill Zhang Chanyi and Gui Lianyun has a great element of luck.

These two Zhou people's Zhu Guo generals had already fought with grandmasters of the same level before fighting Lu Yuan, not only was their true qi and energy seriously consumed, but they were also seriously injured, and their strength was not at their peak.

Therefore, Lu Yuan took a trick and killed two grandmasters who were in a weakened state.

But even if someone is a weak grandmaster, whether you can seize the opportunity and kill the other party requires skills.

Otherwise, Gui Lianyun and Zhang Chanyi were injured before they fought with Lu Yuan, and their strength was weakened.

Why didn't the men kill them all?

Especially Zhang Chanyi, before fighting Lu Yuan, that opponent was Bai Mengyang.

Even Wu Anhou failed to kill the other party, but in the end, this person died in the hands of Lu Yuan, doesn't this explain the ability?

Therefore, based on these considerations.

Everyone knows that Lu Yuan is actually not as strong as his apparent record.

But the strength that meets the record of seven or eight out of ten should also be there. And I was very lucky, I was able to find the leak twice in a row, creating this great prestige.

With that, it's enough to be intimidating.

Therefore, the compliments in this banquet can basically be said to come from the hearts of everyone.

Lu Yuan listened to the many congratulatory voices in his ears, and there was a little smile on his face, and his heart was even more hearty.

The great husband should stand in the clouds, be admired by all people, and listen to all people submit, so that he can live up to the next world.

Since he crossed over, he has been like a day for more than ten years, every day with self-discipline to the requirements of perversion, if the machine program is average, practicing martial arts, reading the Bible, and sometimes even going out on adventures, what kind of hardship has he suffered, for what?

In addition to wanting to protect yourself, isn't it more about seeking the glory of the wind in front of you?

At this time, after more than ten years of struggle, I have my own strength, the country, the army, the people, my wife, my scenery, and my reputation at this time.

It can be said that many of the above are all made by Lu Yuan with his own sword and arrow, with his own blood and sweat.

Although Goldfinger also played a role, his own efforts were also indispensable.

Otherwise, you change someone and let him try to keep him practicing martial arts, reading, and working for more than ten hours a day for more than ten years?

If you can do this, let's talk to Lu Yuan about other things.

However, although Lu Yuan was extremely proud in his heart at this time, he still maintained humility on his face in the face of everyone's praise, which attracted everyone to salute after a glass of wine.

He poured another glass of wine and said gratefully to Bai Mengyang: "This time this king was able to kill Zhang Chanyi, thanks to Wu Anhou's previous heavy injury to this thief, making him injured and unable to fight, so that I got a advantage."

This is my light stained with Wu Anhou.

Kill Zhang Chanyi, half of the merit is in Wu'anhou, and this king is here to pay tribute to Wu'anhou. ”

No one is allowed to be lost by the many, let alone to be the leader.

Because it often means that you will walk in front of the stage and be watched by everyone.

Although Lu Yuan also knew that with his current status, it was impossible not to attract attention.

But it's always good to look at yourself a little less and make people think less about themselves.

Make some humble concessions at this time, make some gestures of weakness, and don't care if anyone will believe it.

There are so many people in the world, maybe you can always fool a few fools?

And as long as he can be deceived, for Lu Yuan, it is a sure win.

So.

All the way forward, what you want is to be steady, that is, to be careful, that is, to be careful.

Lu Yuan has been able to go all the way to the present without problems, relying on this stability, which is his greatest wealth.

Hearing his toast, Wu Anhou glanced at him meaningfully, then smiled, raised his wine glass and took a sip, and then said: "The king of Changsha is really a dragon and a phoenix among the people, he is not shocked, humble and polite, and has a degree of advance and retreat. Since the king said so, then Ben Hou was not polite and cheekily took this credit. ”

At present, although the Zhou people have been defeated, they have lost nearly 200,000 soldiers before and after.

But with the background of the Zhou State, the whole country has 670,000 soldiers, and even if it loses 200,000 soldiers and horses, it is only one-third.

Although it can be regarded as a great injury to the vitality, it must not be said that the other party has no strength to fight again.

Just like the Yue Kingdom, it has experienced three rebellions and three national wars in succession, and it has been chaotic for almost ten years.

But now, isn't it still possible to pull out more than 100,000 elite soldiers and go on the Northern Expedition to the Zhou Kingdom?

So it's really urgent, and the Zhou people will draw another 200,000 soldiers and horses to the south, which can be done.

As for the loss of two innate beings.

The Zhou people have front and back, left and right, east and west, north and south, and eight pillar countries.

These eight pillars are all innate grandmasters. At this time, even if Zhang Chanyi and Gui Lianyun were damaged, there were still six innate grandmasters on the other side. If Li Xiong is counted, there are still seven.

Therefore, if there is a demand, the Zhou people can still send out two or three more innate grandmasters who want to come to this frontline battlefield to support.

With the background of the Zhou State, it is completely possible to gather heavy troops and join forces with them to fight another national battle.

With such a big enemy in front, no matter how many contradictions there are on the side of the coalition forces, it will not be able to break out. It is necessary to stabilize for the time being, continue to maintain the appearance of unity, and work together with the outside world.

Therefore, even though Bai Mengyang noticed Lu Yuan's clumsy thoughts, he didn't say much, but cooperated to make a scene.

The other people in the audience, seeing this scene, immediately understood the attitude of the two elders of the coalition army, so they all cooperated with the play no matter what they thought in their hearts.

So in the next scene, you can see Lu Yuan touting Bai Mengyang, Bai Mengyang touting Yan Wangqiu, Yan Wangqiu touting Su Xuange, Su Xuange touting Yang Jing in turn, and Yang Jing coming back to praise Lu Yuan.

Touted like this, touted the past, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious and intense.

Even the awe of everyone and Lu Yuan slowly diminished a little in this scene of praise and wine glasses.

At the very least, the attitude of Yan Wangqiu and the others is to slowly return to their usual ways and get along with Lu Yuan.

There is no longer the same barrier as before.

Well, at least on the surface.

And when the internal unity gradually stabilized, Lu Yuan took the opportunity of toasting and began to ask Bai Mengyang, and then strategized: "Marquis Wu'an, now that the enemy of Dangyang has been broken, the Xiangyang Zhou people have lost more than 100,000 soldiers, and they have even broken two pillars.

Now we are waiting for hundreds of thousands of troops to gather troops under the city of Xiangyang.

What should I do next, I don't know if Wu Anhou has a plan? ”

When everyone heard this, they all put down their wine glasses and looked at them curiously.

Today's Xiangyang City is not easy to fight.

First of all, Xiangyang City is near the Han River, and the east and north of the city are all close to the river, and there is a wharf water gate to connect with the river.

Therefore, even if they came to the city, they could only blockade the south and west of the city at most, and they could not completely cut off the connection between Xiangyang and the outside world.

The defenders in the city, after gathering these days, according to reliable sources, have 50,000 people, 30,000 Zhou soldiers who have been defeated from the front line, and 20,000 county soldiers gathered from Xiangyang and Nanyang counties.

A total of 100,000 troops.

In addition, Li Yanjing and Qi Yuanyi, the general of the Zhou Dongzhu State who rushed from Nanyang County, also had two innate grandmasters to guard.

And more aid, as Zhou Neng received the news of the defeat on the Danyang front, he also began to react, and urgently dispatched a large number of soldiers and horses to the south to reinforce the front line.

In the face of this garrison, there is also a steady stream of support, although at this time, outside Xiangyang City, their four-nation alliance army also has 130,000 soldiers and horses.

When the army of Ninghai Kingdom arrives, it may be increased to 1780,000.

At the same time, there are also five innate grandmasters.

Overall, it is indeed much stronger than Xiangyang City.

But even so, if they wanted to break through Xiangyang City in a short period of time, the city's city defense strength, even if it was personally led by these innate grandmasters, it was not so easy.

After all, even if the innate grandmaster has a martial arts body, he can slaughter low-level soldiers like mowing grass.

But to use the martial arts body, the consumption is also large, and it can't last long at all, and killing four or five thousand people at most is the limit.

And once the true qi is exhausted, it will take a day to recover.

The five of them Innate Grandmasters, even if they tried their best to kill the 100,000 Zhou defenders in the city, it would take five or six days.

Not to mention, in reality, nothing can go so smoothly. Those Zhou people will not stand in vain and let them kill casually, they will also fight back and resist.

First-class masters cooperate with the military formation, and if they find an opportunity, they can also hurt the innate grandmaster.

Not to mention, there are still Li Yanjing and Qi Yuanyi in the city, and under their obstruction, Lu Yuan and the others want to massacre the Zhou soldiers, which is not very realistic.

Counting the continuous support from outside the city, it can always replenish the strength of the Zhou people in the city.

It can be said that if they want to break Xiangyang City, for their coalition forces, there is no chance at all.

But the probability of success is also as low as a pitiful two or three percent, or even one or two percent.

But if Xiangyang City can't be broken, then when the Zhou people react and slow down for ten days and a half months, they can transfer one or two more innate grandmasters, and in another month, they may be able to transfer 100,000 soldiers and horses.

At that time, let alone breaking Xiangyang City, on their coalition side, what they should consider is how to resist these Zhou soldiers.

Therefore, don't look at the big victory now, but if you can't further expand the advantages achieved at this time, then the victory you have eaten now will still have to be slowly spit out later.

Then, things are back to where they started.

The two sides were on the front line of Xiangyang and Tianmen Mansion, constantly confronting and consuming, competing with the Zhou people to see whose family background was thick, and fell into continuous blood loss.

This kind of situation, whether it is for the imperial court, he is unwilling to see it for Changsha, Ninghai, and the South China Sea.

So how to break the situation has become a top priority.

And this, it is necessary for the Marquis of Wu Anhou in front of him to make strategic arrangements.

Everyone looked over and looked at Bai Mengyang, looking forward to whether the commander of the coalition army could give another way to lead everyone to victory as he had done in his previous plan to surprise attack Guining Mansion.

Facing everyone's expectant and worried eyes, Bai Mengyang put down his wine glass, looked around, and then smiled: "I know what you are thinking?" Indeed, the city of Xiangyang is high and deep, has heavy troops, and is connected by rivers and rivers, and its energy source is constantly receiving external assistance.

It is difficult to break through this city.

Therefore, Ben Hou originally did not plan to storm this city, and he didn't even want to attack this city.

Those who are in the art of war are the ones who attack the heart and attack the city first.

Previously, I let the king of Changsha surprise attack Xiangyang, in order to shake the military heart of the Zhou people's Dangyang army, so that they were afraid and did not dare to fight again.

So there was a great victory in Dangyang.

At this time, Ben Hou used troops, and naturally it was impossible to attack the city, but to attack the heart. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Mengyang asked people to take the maps of Yue and Zhou, and then pointed to the mountains, rivers and cities marked on them, and his fingertips crossed them, and finally fell to the location of Hanzhong County of Zhou State, and said, "Everyone, please take a look." This is Hanzhong County, and like Xiangyang County, this county is also an important town in the southwest of the Zhou Kingdom.

Originally, in this county, Zhou Guotun stationed 50,000 troops, and later with the rebellion of the Qiang thieves, it increased to 100,000 soldiers and horses.

And now, these 100,000 soldiers and horses have all arrived at Wushan Mansion in my Xichuan County, and they are confronting and fighting with Marquis Wu Cheng.

Therefore, in this Hanzhong County, there are no Zhou soldiers to defend, and there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left in the local prefectures and counties.

Therefore, I am going to send an army to attack Hanzhong County, capture several prefectures in its south, and then follow the mountain road south, straight into the hinterland of Xichuan County.

Now in Xichuan County, the Zhou people and the Xishu thief army are all gathered in Wushan Mansion, and the rear is also unguarded.

The Zhou people and the Xishu thieves were tyrannical, and over the years, they have been brutalizing the people of Xichuan. And Xichuan has long been the emperor's grace, and his heart has always been to the imperial court.

Therefore, as long as there is an army of the imperial court, entering Xichuan County under the banner of the imperial court, it will definitely attract the people of the imperial court who have been oppressed by thieves for a long time in Xichuan County to respond.

This imperial army does not need much, twenty or thirty thousand is enough, the key is to play the role of a banner.

Between the ten months, all the territory of Xichuan can be returned to Wanghua.

Then the imperial court soldiers and horses gathered the local rebels, and they could gather 100,000 troops and enter Wushan Mansion in the west.

In this way, the Zhou and Shu coalition armies of Wushan Mansion have our army in front, and there is a fire in the rear, and they will not be able to hold on for a long time under the front and rear attacks.

As soon as this thief army is broken, the imperial court can recover Xichuan County, and then gather a large army to fight a decisive battle with the Zhou people in Xiangyang County.

Or start another army, from the Xichuan Army to the north of Hanzhong County, and open another battlefield, which can make the Zhou people cold and tired.

The strategic initiative is in our hands.

However, whether it is war or peace is not up to the Zhou people, but is decided by our side. ”

Bai Mengyang looked at everyone and said his next strategy.

Then, just like last time, his eyes fell on Lu Yuan. The same goes for others.

Obviously.

Faced with such a task that requires crossing mountains and mountains, or even fighting thousands of miles, ordinary people cannot afford it.

If you want to do this, you have to have a successful experience and a big victory in the king of Changsha.

Everyone's eyes looked at Lu Yuan, revealing their expectations.
