The fourth year of the empress, at the end of July.

Chen Chao led a large number of Jianghu experts led by Ning Baizhi, Xiao Han, and the Ten Musketeers of Yanyulou brought out from the capital to Qingyuan County.

In fact, Qingyuan County is not an easy to defend and difficult to attack the county, but it is really special in its geographical location, after Qingyuan County, it will not take half a day to reach the capital, therefore, before the start of the war, the Chen Dynasty will take the three counties on the periphery of the capital as the last line of defense of the capital, if these three cities are lost, the capital will not be able to hold.

After arriving in Qingyuan County, Chen Chao did not enter the county seat for the first time.

Instead, he walked up a few hills outside the county and stood on a high ground to observe the nearby terrain for himself.

Although in the past few years, Chen Chao has been to this place countless times.

There are many workshops in Qingyuan County, such as wine workshops, perfume and soap workshops.

Chen Chao couldn't be more familiar with this piece.

However, the big war was imminent, and the Chen Dynasty still wanted to measure it with his own eyes, take advantage of the favorable terrain, and set up a defensive line.

How low hills there are in Qingyuan County!

Unlike the steep mountains in Qingshan,

It's not friendly to the defending side.

If it is a steep mountain, it is very easy for the defending side to create a record of "one man is the key, and ten thousand people are not open".

But the low hills do not have such conditions.

Therefore, the main direction of attack on the Beidi side is Qingyuan County.

There are several low hills outside the county of Qingyuan, the most conspicuous of which is Nanshan, which is now full of winery houses.

It is very difficult to set up defenses outside the city to stop the enemy.

"Han Xiangyang, the county commander of Qingyuan County, has seen the prime minister!" After the report of his subordinates, Han Xiangyang went out of the city to meet him.

Hearing this, Chen Chao turned around and asked, "How is the situation in the county?" ”

"Back to the prime minister, the people in the city are retreating to the capital in an orderly manner to avoid the scourge of war, and it is expected that all the evacuation will be completed at dusk today, but some residents are reluctant to go to the capital, they say that they will die here."

"50,000 soldiers of the Changsheng Army and about 70,000 Xu Jiajun who withdrew from the front line were stationed in the county seat, a total of 120,000 soldiers to jointly defend Qingyuan County! There were also nearly 30,000 reserves in the city, all of them young and strong men, who were responsible for carrying equipment and treating the wounded. ”

"Countless weapons and armor are piled up in the city! Take and use as you go. ”

"As for grain and grass, it's enough for half a year!"

"That's the rough picture at the moment."

Chen Chao nodded, Qingyuan County had made all preparations for the big war that would start in a few days, ordinary people withdrew from the county seat in advance, soldiers were stationed in the county seat, and all kinds of weapons and equipment were moved to the city.

"Listening to the tone of Han County's order, it doesn't seem that he is worried that Qingyuan City will not be able to hold it."

Han Xiangyang made a gesture and said in a deep voice: "After so many years of preparation, this battle is going to beat my Qingyuan blood!" ”

"As long as the lower officials are still there, they won't let a single horse jump over Qingyuan County!"

Chen Chao stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder with some relief, "That's what I think too." ”

……

Evening.

"Haha, Xiangye, when will there be a war?"

"My broadsword has long been hungry and thirsty!"

Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.

In the tent, Chen Chao and Hou Ji, who were looking at the map, glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

The next moment.

The tent curtain was lifted with a hula.

The man who came in was a strong man, more than two meters tall.

The size of a fist is really like a casserole.

Xu Biao, the captain of the Changsheng Saber and Shield Battalion, walked in with a big grin.

"You subdued the rest of the lieutenants?" Chen Chao raised his eyes to look at him and asked.

Murong Chong led 20,000 cavalry to dig out Beidi's nest, and the Changsheng army had no main general for a while, so they could only choose from the remaining captains.

As for how they discussed with the captains, who would be the main general, Chen Chao didn't care.

But unexpectedly, the brainless Xu Biao turned out to be the main general, which is really surprising.

"Aang."

Xu Biao raised his chin very angrily and said: "I said that I want to be the main general, leading the Changsheng army to fight Di Gou, and a few of them said that I have no brains and am not worthy of being the main general, which makes me angry...... Yesterday, I beat them all up, and when they obeyed, they stopped arguing with me. ”

"Uh..... Okay. ”

Chen Chao reached out and rubbed his forehead.

"By the way, Xiangye, when will you beat Di Dog? The brothers at the bottom couldn't bear it anymore, and they held it for several years, and their hands were already itchy. ”

Xu Biao asked excitedly.

Since its establishment, the Changsheng Army has made a name for itself on the battlefield of Yunzhou!

Other than that, I never participated in any major battles again!

He has been raised by Chen Chao in the capital, and he implements the strategy of elite soldiers, and every day in addition to training is training.

This time, Beidi came to attack, and the Xu family army was defeated under the command of the king of Xinjiang.

The soldiers of the victorious army are one by one, eager to play for them.

"Don't worry, we'll start fighting in two days, and prepare for the next few days." After Chen Chao finished speaking, he asked again: "Have you seen the 70,000 Xu family army commanders in the city?" How about people. ”

Next, he was going to fight with Beidi, and Chen Chao hoped that only his own voice would appear in the army, and he would fight as he pleased, and the soldiers would completely obey his command and orders.

Needless to say, Chang Shengjun is a pro-army of the Chen Dynasty, and he must listen to the orders of the Chen Dynasty.

But those who defended Qingyuan County not only had the victorious army, but also the Xu family army that had been defeated and retreated from the front.

Chen Chao didn't have the confidence to let the 70,000 Xu soldiers obey his orders.

Therefore, before the start of the war, the first task of the Chen Dynasty was to find out the temper of the main general.

Xu Biao said: "I have seen him, he has lost an arm, his surname is Gao, and he also said that he wants to thank you." ”

Chen Chao raised his eyebrows: "Surname Gao?" ”

As soon as Chen Chao finished speaking, a voice appeared outside the camp tent: "The last general is tall and tall, ask to see the prime minister!" ”
