Camp on the Western Front.

Wang Ruoli came and met the two garrison generals on the Western Front, Bai Yao and Xiao Baoxing.

Bai Yao, although his surname is Bai, but his complexion is very dark, he should have been in the military all year round, he has been exposed to the wind and sun, he is medium-sized, muscular, and looks very flexible.

Xiao Baoxing is tall, but he has a delicate appearance and a literary atmosphere. It makes people feel like a person who has read poetry and books.

The two of them looked at Wang Ruoli and looked more polite. Although the three of them are all generals, after all, now Wang Ruoli has the power of moderation, the most important thing is Bai Xiao and the two, both of whom have eyes, Wang Ruoli's achievements, the two have long heard about it, and the two of them are even more jealous of Wang Ruoli's cultivation realm, how can they not be polite.

The three of them discussed the current state of defense on the Western Front.

The defense of the eastern and western fronts is the two wings of Bazhou's overall defense line, and it is very important to the impact of the war situation. The defenders of the Western Front were 60,000 Xianchao troops and 40,000 on the Eastern Front.

However, in Wang Ruoli's view, the east and west lines are mainly a buffer, and the main battlefield still depends on the battle of the overlord, for the defense of the east and west lines, if it can play a buffer role, it is to achieve the goal, if it can contain more troops of the enemy, it will be better. It would be even better if we could contain the enemy and encircle the enemy at the same time.

The area around the western front, mainly near the west of the city, was defended by seven cities. At present, the three cities on the left are in charge of Wang Ruoli and the three of them, and the four cities on the right are in charge of the ten princes.

Although I don't know the main target of the Qi army, after analysis, there are five main leading generals under the command of King Huaiyin: Qu Qing Gongqu, Shanyin Hou Tian, Lai'an General Lai, Hai'an General Tian, and Qing'an General Qingqing.

Among them, Qu Qing Gongqu is the most threatening. Qu Bu is not only a strong Linggong, the duke of the Qi Dynasty, but also a famous general who is good at fighting tough battles, and is the first target to pay attention to.

The situation of the Immortal Dynasty army led by the generals was 200,000 for Quqing Gongqu, 120,000 for Shanyin Houtian and Hai'an for General Tian, and 60,000 for Lai'an General Lai and Qing'an for Qing'an.

Wang Ruoli looked at the distribution of these combat powers, and couldn't help but be surprised, the strength of the Tian clan was really extraordinary, and the King of Huaiyin was worthy of being the head of the Spirit King of the Qi Dynasty under Qi Huanjun. Under the leadership of King Huaiyin, the Tian clan really has a chance to go to the top.

According to the stationing of each army, Qu Qinggong has the most military strength and the strongest combat power, and it should be the main force used by the King of Huaiyin to attack the overlord.

Therefore, the most likely to attack the Western Front should be the Marquis of Sanyin, and then General Lai'an, or General Qing'an.

Of course, this is only possible, and the actual fight is not known.

Outside the door, Lu Qiu Mingda reported in.

But it was the Tenth Prince who came.

The tenth prince walked in with his personal entourage, after all, in the next few days, the two will cooperate to defend the Western Front, and it is normal to come over to meet and see partners.

Wang Ruoli looked at the cold-faced young man who walked in, and was a little surprised in his heart, this young man turned out to be the one he had seen in the Cangming Cave before, and it was actually Zhang Shicao, who was the first young genius of the Song Dynasty who was demonized with a sword.

Wang Ruoli thought about it, he should have thought of it a long time ago. Just like General Huyang, he has been praising the ten princes for their excellent qualifications, he is the dragon and phoenix among people, and he is indeed the best among the youth. At such an age, he is a strong Linggong, a young genius who is rare in a hundred years, and he is worthy of the words dragon and phoenix among people.

"General Li weak, farewell

It's a year, and it's a big difference. Zhang Shicao's cold face rarely squeezed out a few smiles, which made people look a little unnatural.

"Thank you, Tenth Prince, for remembering. Wang Ruoli replied lightly, looking at Zhang Shicao, he always had a faint feeling of strangeness, and even a little strange, what is the relationship between the other party and the four demons of Cangming Cave? However, this topic is a taboo, so I can only hide it in my heart first.

"General Li Xiao doesn't need to be polite, just call me Acao. Zhang Shicao frowned slightly, and said lightly, he didn't seem to like the title of the tenth prince very much.

Wang Ruoli looked at Zhang Shicao, although his words were a little blunt, but he was very friendly, and he seemed much more amiable than when he was in the Cangming Cave.

Zhang Shicao directly explained the intention of the trip and got straight to the point: "This time, in addition to meeting with General Li Wan, by the way, I will discuss the issue of how to protect the Western Front. ”

"I also had this intention in the next place, and I was about to discuss with the two generals Bai Xiao, so I went to visit, but I didn't expect Ah Cao to come over first, what a coincidence. Wang Ruoli said calmly.

"That's right, let's discuss it together. Zhang Shicao showed back and introduced the three generals he brought, "These three are the three generals under me, Zhu, Guo, and Yuan." ”

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, they immediately cut to the chase.

They talked for a long time until the end of the night.

The days of the battlefield pass so slowly, it really feels like a year.

The closer the war became, the more calm it seemed to both sides. There were only a few small frictions, more like tentative attacks that began on both sides.

After two days, everything seemed to be calm, and it seemed to be calm before the storm.

On a hill.

The two figures stood side by side, looking at the Qi army camp in the distance.

"General Li weak, look at the Qi army in front, camping for a hundred miles, that is the garrison of the Marquis of Shanyin. Zhang Shicao pointed while looking at it. There was a strange color in his eyes.

Wang Ruoli looked at the excitement in his eyes, with a hint of demonic nature, and the color of murderous blood.

"Could it be that Prince Acao still wants to break into the enemy camp and kill the Marquis of Shanyin?" Wang Ruoli guessed.

Zhang Shicao was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Wang Ruoli to guess his thoughts, for a moment, he really wanted to rush forward, and said with a smile: "You and I cultivators, happy and vengeful, still marching and fighting like this, how tired, alone, breaking in and cutting off the head is." ”

Wang Ruoli shook his head, mortals have mortal battles, cultivators have cultivators' battles, and as for us, we are just somewhere in between. It's not advanced.

"Actually, I'm just joking, if you can kill the enemy's head so easily, what else will the other party fight, just surrender directly. Zhang Shicao said with a smile.

"The last general wants to ask, what purpose and result do you want on the Western Front this time?" Wang Ruoli asked suddenly.

"I understand that the defense of the eastern and western fronts is only an auxiliary role, which can contain the enemy's military strength to the greatest extent. Zhang Shicao thought for a while.

"The last general felt that the prince put Prince Acao on the Western Front in order to not just contain him. Wang Ruoli had a different opinion.

"Oh?" Zhang Shicao was intrigued, "so what do you mean?"

"The strength of Prince Acao, presumably the prince knows in his heart that if he is just contained, he can't be so wasted and placed on the Western Front. Wang Ruoli analyzed lightly, "What's more, there are still 60,000 Immortal Dynasty troops, which is a good combat force." ”

"Go on. Zhang Shicao said lightly and gestured

Wang Ruoli continued.

"The Qi army came from the south and came from a long distance, in order to quickly defeat the king of Linzhang and completely seize the Northern Yandao and the Northern Youdao. Wang Ruoli continued, "So, no matter how you look at it, attacking the overlord is the best choice, because as long as the main force of King Linzhang is completely defeated, everything will basically be done." ”

"However, in consideration of the attack on the eastern and western fronts, it is inevitable that a certain amount of troops must be allocated to prevent it. Zhang Shicao continued, "According to the situation, at most, a titled general will be arranged." ”

"Yes, in such a situation, we have an army of 60,000 Immortal Dynasty to deal with a titled general. How far does Prince Grass think he can go?" asked Wang Ruoli.

"Naturally, it's a siege and kill. Zhang Shicao said fiercely.

"Haha, what Prince Acao said is extremely true, what we need to do more is to let all the men and horses defending the western front of the Qi army come and go, so that they can form pressure. Wang Ruoli continued, "And with Prince Cao's god-level cultivation, it is not difficult to do this, you just need to give a chance to get closer." ”

"That's why the king of Linzhang sent you. Zhang Shicao looked at Wang Ruoli and laughed, but this time he laughed, but he was very comfortable, not like before.

"Prince Grass is in love, and the last general can only do his best. Wang Ruo left the road, "After all, the opportunity still needs to wait." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed rarely, as if they had a deeper understanding of this battle.

The temporary residence of the Great Prince.

In the hall, a group of dancing girls are dancing, with silk and bamboo wind music, a lively scene.

However, among the people in the hall, only the eldest prince was drinking sullen wine.

The eldest prince Zhang Yiming was not happy, and when he watched the dancing girls dance, he was still full of smiles, but the more he looked at it, the more annoyed he became, and he threw the wine bottle on the ground. On the verge of an outbreak.

The music stopped, and the dancing girl was suddenly smashed by the wine bottle, and they all stopped, and turned to look at the eldest prince, all of them were full of fear, I don't know why the eldest prince suddenly lost his temper, could it be that he danced wrongly? Or did he not dance beautifully?

"Get out, get out of this prince!" Zhang Yiming angrily scolded the dancing girls, making them all quit.

The dancers and musicians were so scolded that they were so frightened that they hurriedly cleaned up and went out of the hall one by one.

At the door, a group of hurried dancers and musicians happened to meet Hu Huaide, the general of Huyang.

Hu Huaide frowned when he saw these flustered servants.

Approaching the inner hall.

Zhang Yiming was half-lying on the table, listening to the footsteps approaching the house, thinking that it was the servant coming back, and was about to scold angrily, when he raised his eyes and saw that it was Hu Huaide, he quickly retracted the swear words back into his throat.

"Eldest Prince, what's going on?" Hu Huaide asked with a frown.

Let General Huyang smile. Zhang Yiming stood up, straightened his clothes, and said a little embarrassed.

"The last general heard that the eldest prince was not in a good mood for the past two days, and often lost his temper with his subordinates. Hu Huaide said nonchalantly.

Zhang Yiming listened, and had the heart to argue, but he was powerless to refute.

"The last general is stupid, I don't know if the eldest prince is because the tenth prince is guarding the western front, or because he is guarding the western gate of the city?" Hu Huaide asked lightly.

"General Huyang, you have also seen that for so many years, this prince has been conscientious, doing things for his father, how many times he has supervised the country, and handled political affairs, but this time, this prince asked his father to guard the western front,
