The biggest difference between cultivating in the mortal world and cultivating in the immortal gate is the supply of materials, the immortal gate has a special disciple to collect various medicinal materials to refine pills, as an aid to cultivation, and distribute them to the disciples, but in the mortal world, it is impossible to go up the mountain and go to the sea to collect rare medicinal materials with the strength of a few people, and a lot of wealth and energy must be consumed.

Therefore, for Yu Wu, if he can be attached to the king of Yizhou, then all kinds of materials can be easily obtained, and for Ai Mingxuan, being able to introduce Yu Wu to the king of Yizhou is also of key significance to his career, and the two have a small relationship, which can be described as an instant hit.

After Yu Wu's apprentices showed off their martial arts, Ai Mingxuan nodded again and again, praised him, and then entered the stone house with Yu Wu, Yu Wu took out a few pots of good wine, and chatted with Ai Mingxuan.

After drinking a few pots of wine, the things that the two of them talked about naturally shifted to the war on the border of Dingzhou, and Fang Ling hid by the jungle of the pool, and he could hear every word.

Of course, the two of them didn't expect that there were outsiders here, let alone that the King of Shicheng, who was about to deal with, would be unguarded when they spoke.

Fang Ling listened silently, not counting Qingzuka City, the troops of the other four towns in Dingzhou each town had tens of thousands of horses, a total of 40,000 horses.

The number of troops in Yizhou on the border of Xuzhou corresponding to the four towns reached 50,000, but it was revealed from Ai Mingxuan's mouth that in fact, part of the troops in Xuzhou that had been incorporated had been increased to 70,000, and the hidden 20,000 horses were enough to affect the battle situation.

The pressure on Qingzuka City was even greater, with 10,000 defenders plus Fang Ling's 3,000 men and horses facing Gu Ziyun's 50,000 troops.

Ai Mingxuan said: "The border of Xuzhou is jointly garrisoned by the northern generals and the western generals, and the king of Yizhou once ordered that whoever can capture the first town of the five towns is the first meritorious person to attack Dingzhou." Gu Shaofeng was young and vigorous, so he wanted to attack the city without reorganizing his troops, so he was attacked by the King of Shicheng. ”

Yu Wu said: "Then Brother Ai, you are assisting the Western generals, I am afraid that you are going to show your skills." ”

Ai Mingxuan said confidently: "It's not a problem to capture the first city, the four major clans of these five towns have their own contradictions, people's hearts are unstable, the four towns seem to be solid, but they are all isolated, as long as they attack with multiple soldiers and horses, they will definitely be captured." However, compared to capturing the first city, capturing the king of Shicheng alive is a great achievement. ”

Yu Wu agreed: "Then I don't know if Brother Ai has thought of a suitable time?"

Ai Mingxuan said conceitedly: "It is unlikely that the King of Shicheng wants to settle the generals of the four cities, the only way is to go to Yizhou City to find Yuan Dekang, the assassin of Dingzhou, to help reconcile, and it is possible to gather the four masters, but it is too dangerous to do it in Yizhou City, so it is best for us to do it on his way back to Qingzuka City, even the King of Shicheng will never guess our intentions." ”

Yu Wu couldn't help but bow his head slightly and said: "Brother Ai is really resourceful, no wonder he can become the king's right-hand man." Speaking of this, his eyes lit up and said, "Why don't we leave tomorrow morning, you and I will go to the land of Yizhou City together, and wait until the queen of Shicheng is captured alive and leave with a swagger, this ambush in the land of Dingzhou is really to return the body of others." ”
