Dugu Xian lives in fear all the time, and as soon as there is a stir outside the door, his whole body stiffens with fright, and even the air he exhales is like frozen ice.

Not only was he afraid that the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain would come to him for revenge at any time, but he was also afraid of the killer sent by the Dubu King, who in his imagination must be extremely angry at his betrayal and would punish the traitor at all costs.

This is far from what he imagined himself to be, as a battle-hardened general, he should be a model who should not be afraid of danger, and even take the initiative to face death.

Strange to say, he had never had a similar fear on the battlefield, but he shuddered at the thought of those killers who were as cold as swords.

Therefore, he was also afraid of the Dragon King, and in this young man, he saw two diametrically opposed temperaments, one derived from the identity of a killer, ruthless, and habitually unwilling to attract attention, and the other from the status of the Dragon King of the Great Snow Mountain, who was also ruthless, but always and everywhere would oppress people.

Gu Shenwei didn't know that he would be so complicated, he made a humble gesture as much as possible, personally came to visit the surrendered general, and couldn't help but feel a little funny and a little disappointed when he saw the other party's lost soul.

However, once it comes to the war that is about to start, Dugu Xian's performance is much more normal, he doesn't play tricks that trick him, he says whatever he knows, and he doesn't exaggerate or hide.

Gu Shen first introduced the situation of the enemy.

The commander of the 50,000-strong army of Jinpeng Fort is named Shangguan Jianyi, Gu Shenwei has almost no understanding of him, and still asks a little from Shangguan Fei, knowing that he is the nephew of King Dubu, but the two are about the same age and have not lived in the stone castle for many years.

The 50,000 army came from a complex source, with 10,000 cavalry provided by Xiaowan State, which was the absolute main force in the army, and Shule State and other newly conquered countries sent a total of 20,000 troops.

These 30,000 people were the troops that Jinpeng Fort originally planned to enter the Xiaoyao Sea, but after hearing that the Dragon King had returned to the Western Regions from Wushan, King Dubu immediately added 20,000 horses, half of which were still borne by Xiaowan and the client states, and the other half were temporarily recruited mercenaries.

Xiaowan is Dugu Xian's mother country, and now it has completely belonged to the Shangguan family, and even the throne has been given to the third young lord Shangguan Yun, its strength is the core strength of Jinpeng Castle, which was trained by Dugu Xian.

"The Dubu King loves cavalry. Dugu Xian recalled the situation when he accepted the training task, "This is probably influenced by Beiting, you also know, Beiting is a country based on riding and archery, and there are no less than 300,000 people who control the strings, but it is easy to learn horseback riding and archery separately, but it is several times more difficult to combine them, unless you are like Beiting people, you have been with horses and arrows since you were a child, otherwise, it will take several years to reach the level of others." ”

Dugu Xian was stunned for a while, as if he was thinking about the grandeur of the Beiting army, "But Dubu Wang still insists on only cavalry, he feels that the cavalry is fast and has strong attack power, which is in line with the strategy of Jinpeng Castle." So I trained for him a heavy cavalry, men and horses, all in armor and spears, and charged unstoppable. ”

Dugu Xian's boast implied ridicule, Gu Shenwei had once comprehended the power of this cavalry, and felt that what he said was not too exaggerated, although the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain could compete with the cavalry, but every time they ended up losing both, the losses on both sides were very large, especially for the Dragon King, the gains outweighed the losses.

"Training such an army must cost Shangguan a lot of money. ”

"It's hard to count, tens of thousands of horses alone are worth more than a million taels, and other armor, weapons, and soldiers are even more bottomless. ”

"Someone told me the words 'it is difficult to support alone', and he said that infantry and cavalry are complementary to each other, and they are indispensable, and no matter how powerful the cavalry is, there are weaknesses. ”

This is what Gu Lun said to his youngest son, although he is not a general who leads troops to fight, but he has also spent some time in the army, and often uses the experience in the military formation to educate his three sons.

Dugu Xian was a little surprised, and nodded approvingly, "That's right, the heavy cavalry is fast, but it is also cumbersome, and it is very difficult to turn around and turn around, so it can only be used in a flat place, and it is most afraid of attacks from the flanks." ”

"Jinpeng Fort has gathered a lot of horses from various countries, infantry and archers, it should be able to make up for the flaws of the cavalry, right?"

"It stands to reason that it is, but it also depends on the person. How much does the Dragon King know about Shangguan Jianyi?"

"Not much, I had never heard of this man when I was in Jinpeng Castle. ”

"He is the most trusted person of Dubu King, and probably the only person he trusts, in the past few years, he has frequently come to Xiaowan Country to supervise my military training. ”

Dugu Xian doesn't like Shangguan Jianyi very much, but he knows a lot about him.

Shangguan Jianyi's father was the eldest brother of Shangguan Va, and he was the most promising successor to the throne in that generation, but after a fierce competition with his younger brother, who had just become an adult, he was defeated and did not even save his life.

A very important reason why Shangguan Fa was able to achieve the final victory was the support of Shangguan Jianyi.

It has always been a mystery why Shangguan Jianyi betrayed his biological father and took refuge with his little uncle, who was only three or four years older than him, he claimed to be thinking about the overall situation, and Shangguan Fa had the quality of a king in his eyes.

As a symbol of trust, Shangguan Jianyi has been the most important position in the castle for many years, and can be called the right-hand man of King Dubu.

About ten years ago, Shangguan Jianyi suffered a major setback, and without fighting Lady Meng, who was gathering thousands of favors at that time, he left the castle gloomily and went to Beiting to take charge of the killer stronghold there.

No one could have imagined that ten years later, with the mediation of Shangguan Jianyi, Jinpeng Fort won the trust of Beiting, and the two sides joined forces to fight against the Central Plains.

Dubu Wang sent his most trusted right-hand man to the North Court, whether it was an unintentional debasement or a premeditated plan, which is also an unsolved mystery.

"Shangguan Jianyi is a very capable person, and he can easily gain the trust of others, but he doesn't know how to arrange troops, and only believes in speed and attack power, which will make him seem very brave, but it is also easy to fall into the trap because of risk.

This is Dugu Xian's evaluation of the commander of the enemy army, Gu Shenwei feels that this Shangguan Jianyi has a little imagination with himself, he also believes in speed and attack power, although he has participated in several wars, he still only knows a little about the way to do the army.

"With the right place and the right soldiers, I can defeat these 50,000 troops. The more Dugu Xian spoke, the more confident he became, and even his fear was reduced a lot.

Although the Xiaoyao Sea is not big, there are mountains and rivers, and suitable places can always be found, but as for the right soldiers, it is a trouble, a big trouble, "What do you mean by the right soldiers, and how many people are there?"

"Well, obey the command, have no fear, the brave do not go ahead, the weak do not lag behind, familiar with the three weapons of knives, guns, and bows, and are good at at least one kind of foot and horse, this is what I call a suitable soldier. The number of people, at least 20,000, with two against five, is already very risky. ”

Gu Shenwei couldn't even provide a tenth of this number, and pondered for a moment, "I have 20,000 horses, but I need training. ”

"Twenty thousand swordsmen like soldiers in the Great Snow Mountain?"

The swordsman is brave and fearless, and the training is much less difficult.

Gu Shenwei shook his head, if the 20,000 people under his command were the same as the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, he would choose to go to war directly to fight hard.

"Most of them are people like the soldiers of the Five Kingdoms of the Free Sea, and they may be a little worse. "Gu Shen told the truth.

Dugu Xian was very disappointed, he had commanded the local soldiers in Xiaoyaohai, he knew them very well, and it was not easy to train these people into real warriors, "How many dragon king horses are there, and are the weapons and armor sufficient?"

"There were thousands of horses, armoured, barely fully equipped. ”

Dugu Xian understood how difficult the current situation was, "It's not easy to do, but if you just want to defeat Shangguan Jianyi's army of 50,000, you can also give it a try, but it will take a year." ”

"The army of Jinpeng Fort will attack in a month. ”

In other aspects, Gu Shenwei can think of another way, but time is not in his control at all.

"20,000 rabble, against 50,000 elite soldiers, this ......" Dugu Xian was preoccupied with solving problems, and made old mistakes, and he didn't care about other people's thoughts when he spoke, even if this person had the power to decide his life and death.

"I'll have to think about it. Dugu Xian didn't give a clear plan in the end.

Gu Shenwei said goodbye, not too disappointed, and was also thinking about people, horses, weapons, and time, which he could improve as soon as possible to shorten the gap with the Jinpeng Fort army.

Xu Xiaoyi didn't know how to know that the Dragon King had entered the city, and he had been guarding outside the gate, so he came up and said with a smile: "Dragon King, my sister invites you to go." ”

"What to do?" Gu Shenwei was about to refuse, Xu Yanwei rarely had anything serious, and he wanted to coax him to see the princess.

Even if all the princesses in the world were waiting for him in the palace, Gu Shenwei was not in the mood to take a look at it at this moment.

She said it was the matter of the Stone King, as if it ...... It seems that he still has something in mind. ”

The stone king is very suspicious of the dragon king and the army of the Great Snow Mountain, although he has a king name and no money and no soldiers in his hands, but if he makes trouble, he can suffer a lot of influence among some of the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom.

Gu Shenwei pondered for a while and agreed to go to the palace.

After entering the palace, the direction of progress was not the princess's residence, Gu Shenwei relaxed slightly, but as soon as he saw Xu Yan's slightly excited expression, he knew that he had been fooled.

"Dragon King, you are finally here, you have to save me. ”

"I don't have the skills. ”

"No, no, you have, you have, if you don't see the princess again, she will kill me and ask for the guilt, who made me praise you so well? ”

Xu Yanwei pointed to the room behind him, "The princess is here, you can't delay the Dragon King for a long time, you won't pass through the door and not enter, right?"

Gu Shenwei often forgets the identity of the colt, Shi Guo is already completely under his control, and the name of the colt is even more unnecessary.

But he still stepped into the house, he and the princess were not enemies, and there was really no need to humiliate her by avoiding her.

Pushing open the door, Gu Shenwei saw the princess herself for the first time, she was nervous and scared, she almost fainted, barely standing, her fingers lightly touched the table, and whispered: "Dragon King......"

The dragon king did something that scared her even more, and he drew his sword.

Gu Shenwei dared to swear with everything, there were not only two people in this room, he and the princess, and a trap was waiting for him.
