Xue Peng nodded, and then said, "How is the armor-type spirit weapon equipped?"

Wei Ying said, "My lord, a few new refiners have been recruited, and 1,200 soldiers are equipped with armor-type spirit weapons. ”

Xue Peng was stunned when he heard this, "Isn't it a thousand soldiers? Why are there two hundred?"

"My lord, that's the case, a small formation of the Vermilion Bird Formation needs at least five hundred people, which is originally enough, but the physical condition of the two hundred veterans is difficult to support the Suzaku Formation, so we made our own decisions and recruited another two hundred soldiers. ”

"Well, you are a cadre in the army, you are in charge of these things, but you must consider the issue of spirit stones, how many spirit stones do we have left?"

"Lord Hui, a total of four million and three hundred thousand spirit stones have been spent during this period of time, and we still have seven hundred thousand left. ”

"What? What's left?"

Xue Peng's brows furrowed, and Wei Ying handed over a bill to Xue Peng on the side, Xue Peng took a closer look, there was a dense column, there was grain and grass, equipment repair, but the biggest cost was recruit training, and the talisman bullets fired every day were calculated in 100,000 spirit stones.

Xue Peng said with some distress, "When training, can you use less rune bullets." ”

Wei Ying said, "My lord, the bandits are fierce and cunning, only by making sufficient preparations and substantially improving the combat power of the soldiers can we win this war." ”

"And as long as we win this battle and loot the bandits' nest in the vast mountains, when the time comes, what we lose today will definitely be ten times or even dozens of times back, so we can't use less runes. ”

"Just"

Seeing Wei Ying spitting, Xue Peng asked, "Just what?"

"It's still an old problem, my lord, we take the waterway, although Xunze will not freeze, but after Xunze enters the area of Mangdang Mountain, away from the sacred tree, it will be frozen. ”

"When the time comes, our ship will be trapped in the riverbed, and then the bandits will definitely take the opportunity to besiege us, and if the Xuanwu cavalry charges us, we will be defeated on both sides. ”

Hearing this, Xue Peng suddenly said, "Have you bought the hundred medium-grade spirit stones I wanted?"

Wei Ying wiped the storage bag, the blue light flashed, and there was a big bag on the table.

Wei Ying opened the bag, and it contained pieces of spirit stones the size of a baby's fist, milky white and translucent, emitting a faint white light.

Each spirit stone contains majestic and pure spiritual power.

Xue Peng's face was overjoyed, "With this spirit stone, I can come and go freely in Mangdang Mountain, besides, is there any news from Wei Yuting recently?"

"Back to my lord, Wei Yuting recently sent back another piece of news, saying that Xiao Yang suddenly increased his defense against the waterway, and set up many open and dark posts at the top of the mountain to prevent Yu Mingguo and my Da Cao from joining forces to attack. ”

"A secret sentry against the sky was also placed?" Xue Peng slowly frowned, "He has found Xiao Yang's traces." ”

Wei Ying said, "I found it, and at the same time, Wei Yuting secretly painted a portrait." ”

"Where's the portrait?"

Wei Ying hesitated slightly, handed the portrait to Xue Peng, Xue Peng glanced at it, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wei Ying.

Wei Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Seeing the portrait is also a reaction with the adult, who would have thought that the person who drank with the adult that day was that Xiao Yang!"

Xue Peng put down the portrait and couldn't help but admire, "It is said that Xiao Yang is bold and careful, and he actually came to investigate in person, is he not afraid that any of us will find out his identity and take him down on the spot?"

"Who said no, this person is so bold, he deserves to be the king of Xiao for decades. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Xue Peng's mouth, "It seems that this person is also an arrogant and arrogant person, this time, he will not be allowed to run again." ”

"What's going on over there in Himeno?"

Xiao Lie and Erhu glanced at each other, and the two of them were in charge of monitoring Zuo Wuwei.

Erhu said, "My lord, Ji Ye wears mourning clothes every day, threatening to avenge his sister, my lord, that Second Miss Ji said before, Ji Shangshu wants to kill you, and now they are planting Ji Lingyan's death on your head." ”

Wei Ying said on the side, "Yesterday afternoon, Xiangguo also came with news, saying that all the officials in the court said that the second lady of the Ji family was killed by the adult, and the king has also promised Ji Shangshu that if the adult loses the battle in the vast battle, Yu Guo is useless, and Ji Shangshu will be at his disposal." ”

The second tiger on the side immediately said angrily when he heard this, "What kind of bullshit king, so confused, senior brother, I heard that the second prince of Yumingguo once recruited you, or we will turn against it and take your family to Yumingguo." ”

"Shut up. Xue Peng shouted, "If you say such a big rebellion, you have to say it again." ”

"Senior Brother"

"Well, I don't think I heard it today. Xue Peng glanced around and looked at Xiao Lie, Wei Ying and the generals.

Wei Ying, Xiao Lie and the others hurriedly said, "My lord, Adjutant Li made a slip of the tongue for a while, and we will definitely not spread the word." ”

Xue Peng nodded and said, "I naturally believe you, but I, Xue Peng, swear to the heavens here that I will never lose the royal court in this life." ”

Xue Peng said this in his mouth, but said in his heart, "God, you can't just listen to what I say, I don't really swear, don't take it seriously." ”

The generals said solemnly, "My lord is noble, we admire, and we will definitely do our best to help your lord defeat the bandits." ”

"Then Xue will depend on you. Speaking of Xue Pengdao, "Zuo Wuwei's march route can be discovered?"

Wei Ying unfolded the map and pointed to a flat avenue in the northwest, "My lord, leading to the hinterland of Mangdang Mountain, only the flat avenue around Yaoshan can be passed by cavalry, this is the only way to enter Mangdang Mountain, and he can't get around." ”

"Here to the north of each five miles, there is a vast bandit Yaoshan camp, according to my estimates, they should want to block the attack, drag until winter, when the heavy snow covers the mountain, Himeno can only retreat, whether it is for Himeno or us, the battle situation is very unfavorable. ”

"In addition, according to the drawings given by the adults, the military department also quickly built many building ships on the bank of Xunze, and there are more than ten of them, although the hull is not as large as our army, but our army has only one. ”

"My lord, there is still something to understand, Xunze is close to the vast and there are shoals nearby, why do we want to build such a huge building ship, and we enter Mangdang Mountain, we must land and fight, the building ship is not needed at all!"

When Xue Peng heard this, he said, "Who said that we must land and fight." ”

"If we don't land, how can we fight? We can't expect those bandits to jump out and be a live target for us. ”

"Then you will know that this is the secret of our victory. ”

Wei Ying and the others were confused when they heard this, but Xue Peng stood up and said slowly, "Let's go, go and see our boat." ”
