The Dragon King returned, with only Liman and Han Fen behind him, not a single Naihang soldier, and no horses' hooves in the distance.

The disappointment of the soldiers was palpable, they were not cowardly people, but once they had expectations for the 100,000 cavalry of the Naihang tribe, it would be a great loss not to see them.

"Two hundred thousand!" one veteran shouted.

Gu Shenwei reined in the horse.

"Rollo led an army of 200,000, and it will be there in seven or eight days. The veteran explained that during the time that the Dragon King was gone, more and more accurate news came.

"What should we do?" the soldiers asked, and when they heard the news, the military advisor and Xiao Wang had convinced the generals that everyone was just waiting for the Dragon King's decision.

"Fight. Gu Shen spit out word by word.

There was silence at the barracks gates, no one objected, but no one cheered either.

Liman loudly announced, "One hundred thousand Naihang cavalry has already advanced eastward, and if we don't act sooner, we will fall behind them." ”

"Has the Dragon King recovered the Naihang Clan?" asked a soldier excitedly.

"The Naihang clan will be the vanguard of our army to block the Luo Luo army. Gu Shenwei said.

The cheers shook the sky, and before Gu Shenwei reached the main tent, the news had spread throughout almost the entire military camp, and it was reduced to a few words: The Naihang clan participated in the war.

Shu Litu and Fang Wen took the lead, and all the generals came out of the tent to greet them, looking at the Dragon King eagerly, Gu Shenwei sat on horseback, and said: "General Zhisu has led the cavalry to Qianqi Pass, and the Shulitu army will rest for a while and set off tomorrow morning." Long turns the clouds, you go to Xiaowan Kingdom to give an order, and the 20,000 dragon army will immediately open and join the army. ”

There was no need to ask about the Dragon King's decision, some generals were ready to explain the reason for the retreat to the Dragon King, but no one spoke first, and waited and waited, and any contrary opinion seemed out of place.

"Prepare for war!" Fang Wen shouted loudly, breaking the silence of the generals, "All arms for war!"

The generals responded one after another, and the things that had caused major controversy disappeared at the moment of the appearance of the dragon king, and Dotun remembered this scene in his heart, and began to understand why the Xiao Yan clan attached special importance to the dragon king.

"Azheba. Dotun shouted loudly, drawing attention again before the crowd dispersed, "Immediately return to Tongtianguan, leave 10,000 men to guard, and 60,000 men to come quickly, and order Mo De to personally lead the army." ”

"Yes. "Azheba got on his horse and left the camp, only a little later than Long Chuyun.

The confidence of the whole army rose to the clouds at once, and the army of nearly 300,000 had already occupied an absolute advantage in numbers, and this battle was undoubtedly won, and Rollo turned from a terrifying enemy to a fool who gave credit.

When he entered the tent, only the five people left were Longwang, Fang Wenshi, Shulitu, Dodun, and Liman, and Luo Luo was still "terrifying".

Don was not so easy to deceive, and was the first to ask: "Does the Naihang really want to go to war with Rollo?"

Gu Shenwei didn't speak, and let Liman answer.

"The Naihang clan has gone to negotiate with Rollo. "Tell the truth from Man.

Dotun's heart sank, and he glared at Liman sternly, knowing that he might not be able to mobilize the army of Tongtianguan.

Liman hurriedly explained: "My father will not immediately turn to Rollo, he will negotiate first, and then sit back and watch the battle, and whichever side has the upper hand, the Naihang will support whichever side." ”

This is only slightly better than betrayal, and in the blink of an eye, an army of nearly 300,000 is only a patchwork of 180,000, which is already weaker than Rollo.

Don was silent, the words were out, he must go to war, but he must keep his 60,000 cavalry no matter what.

"This battle has to be fought, if it is not fought in the north of the Tianshan Mountains, Luo Luo will definitely take advantage of the Thousand Cavalry Pass to pass through the Tianguan. ”

"I have already explained it to the soldiers. Fang Wen said quietly, he thought of one place with the Dragon King, and he was very proud in his heart.

Gu Shenwei understood the hint of the military advisor, and immediately put down the topic, "Luo Luo came from afar, and there was not enough food, grass and livestock, so I expected him to retreat before he held out in winter." ”

"Let's meet but not fight. Fang Wen said, "It not only disrupts the deployment of the enemy's troops, but also boosts the morale of our army." ”

Liman nodded in agreement, what he mainly wanted to persuade was Prince Dotun, "The Naihang clan suddenly changed direction after meeting the Dragon King, as soon as this news reached Luo Luo's ears, he would not believe my father's request for negotiation, in his mind, our army is still nearly 300,000, which can be regarded as a kind of checks and balances." ”

Dotun had already been tied up with the Saritu army, and without this army, he no longer had the strength to compete for the throne, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, then meet it, but our army is too scattered, and I propose to appoint a commander." ”

"The Dragon King is the most suitable. Fang Wen immediately proposed a candidate.

Dotun smiled, "Has the Dragon King ever commanded so many troops? It's not a matter of a few thousand men, let alone a sword, and of course, neither can I and Shulitu. ”

Fang Wen was just about to refute, but Gu Shenwei restrained him, "His Royal Highness Dotun is right, we need a real general, do the two Highnesses have any recommended candidates?"

Shulitu cautiously did not speak, and Dotun pondered for a moment, "It's better to wait and gather more generals to discuss together." ”

"Then tomorrow night. Gu Shenwei didn't want to decide on this matter right away, "The commander will be determined after the army is camped." ”

Things were going well, but as soon as Dotun and Liman came out of the tent, Fang Wen immediately said: "Don Don is not dead, and the post of head coach must not be handed over to his people." ”

Of course, Shulitu also understood this truth, "I guess that Dotun is likely to recommend Liman, who is the son of General Zhisu, who has participated in many wars with the king of Yue, and is qualified to be the commander of the army in all respects except for his younger age. ”

Fang Wen kept shaking his head, "Who is this Liman from?" I don't even know if I should oppose him or not. ”

"Liman is loyal to Dotun. Gu Shenwei said with certainty that he had never doubted this, "Is there a suitable candidate for His Royal Highness Xiao Wang?"

Shulitu had already thought about it for a long time, "There are a few generals in the army who are good, but none of them are as good as Liman, alas, if the close service army is ......"

Most of the generals of the close service army were experienced in a hundred battles, but unfortunately most of them died in mutiny.

"I have a candidate, but he's not from Beiting. Gu Shenwei said.

"Who? It won't be the right general Shang Liao, right? He is even less experienced in commanding a large army. Fang Wen raised an objection before the Dragon King could speak.

"Dugu envy. This is the only qualified commander in Gu Shenwei's mind.

Shu Litu vaguely heard of Dugu Xian's name, but did not say a word, but Fang Wen was very surprised, "Of course Dugu Xian can, but he is far away in the sea, far away from the water does not quench his thirst, once he goes, it will take more than a month at the earliest, and the battle is over." ”

"General Dugu will arrive tomorrow. Gu Shenwei had already made preparations, and when he led 10,000 Beiting cavalry back to the Western Regions, he had already sent someone to Xiaoyaohai to transfer generals, "He is hiding in Tongtian Pass now, and Tie Linglong will bring him over tomorrow." ”

Fang Wen was dumbfounded, and then laughed, "It turns out that the Dragon King is clever, and he expected Luo Luo to return the horse gun." ”

"I didn't expect Luo Luo's move, I originally wanted General Dugu to familiarize himself with the army in the winter and worship the commander next year, but now I have to advance. ”

In front of Xiao Wang, Fang Wen no longer asked.

Shu Litu knew that he was a puppet after all, and as soon as that Dugu envy arrived, "Xiao Wang" would only have one name left, but he was used to this fate, "Does the Dragon King think General Dugu can compete with Liman?"

Dugu Xian has a rich military career, once joined the Beiting army, but has never been a senior general.

"I believe in him, as for how to make General Dugu gain the approval of the whole army, I will find a way. ”

"Let's figure it out together. Shulitu said, to gain a little initiative for his puppet status.

The three of them were discussing, and the red bat was asking to see outside, bringing a news that was both unexpected and expected, "Xiao Yan wants to see the Dragon King, she is very anxious, and she is in the tent of the sect leader......"

"I'll see her later. Gu Shenwei said.

Fang Wen pursed his lips, "This is a difficult hurdle, didn't you kill Dolcha?"

"Didn't kill. Gu Shenwei got up, "Look for it, there may be people in the army who know Dugu Xian, he is a native of Xiaowan and has served in the Beiting Army." ”

Xiao Yan wore a delicate hat to hide the hair that had been ripped off by Dorcha, and when she saw the Dragon King coming in, she stood up and nodded flatly, "The Dragon King is very busy, and I am very grateful that he can still find time to see me." ”

Shangguan Ru stood aside, looking a little embarrassed, and smiled at Gu Shenwei.

"Xiao Yan is too polite. ”

"Alas, I'm a little man, I have no power or power, and I can only swallow my anger when I am humiliated in public. ”

He said that he would give Xiao Yan an explanation sooner or later. ”

"That's right, this is exactly what I need most - an explanation, whoever bullies me in the future, just give an explanation. ”

"I regret that Xiao Yan thinks so. ”

"Hehe, the dragon king is really kind-hearted, please return the 10,000 cavalry to me, I am now a frightened bird, I feel unsafe anywhere, and I need their protection. ”

10,000 of the Shulitu army were originally subordinates of the Xiao Yan clan, and from the very beginning she emphasized that she was only "borrowing" and had the right to go back at any time.

"Before it gets dark today, the Xiao Yan clan will be able to withdraw the cavalry. ”

"Thank you. Xiao Yan replied politely, got up and prepared to leave, but the dragon king agreed so happily, she was a little unsure, and added: "I hope the dragon king will not misunderstand, these ten thousand people are only under my command, and will not be handed over to anyone, including Dotun, and I will follow the army and participate in the decisive battle together, if I make a contribution, I also want to expand the army." ”

"The cavalry of the Xiao Yan clan will be an important help to the Shulitu army, and he and I thank you for your support. ”

Xiao Yan laughed and walked away from the tent.

"What does she mean by this?" Shangguan Ru had been listening, and did not find the point in the polite Q&A between the two sides.

"The 10,000 cavalry of the Xiao Yan clan means that she has the right to speak in the army from now on, which is exactly what Dotun desperately needs. ”

Shangguan Ru suddenly said, "So that's the case, I knew that I should have gathered all the 1,000 female soldiers of the country of Xiangji, can I also fight for the right to speak?"

Gu Shenwei thought about it, and Shangguan Ru also laughed like Xiao Yan, "Teasing you, except for you, how can the people of Beiting allow foreigners to speak?"

This is probably the only woman who can "tease" the Dragon King, Gu Shenwei was not a little annoyed, "Yes, how could Beiting allow foreigners to lead troops?"

He was still thinking about Dugu Xian, and he had an idea in his heart.
