After Song Yaoxu and Qi Zizhen left that night, the words Song Yaoxu said in the camp area gradually spread throughout the camp.

In the next few days, in order to make up for the lost progress, the army marched a little faster than before, but no soldiers complained.

They were more or less aware that His Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be different from what they had imagined.

Qi Zizhen only observed the state of the soldiers in the first day or two, and after finding that there were basically no problems, he began to focus on reading books related to Wumeng Kingdom.

He looked all the way down from the history of the founding of the country, and recently finally saw the relevant records of the current king of Wumeng Kingdom.

The current king of Wumeng Kingdom is the fourth king, who has been on the throne for less than ten years, and is also the youngest king of Wumeng Kingdom so far.It is said that he was able to pull a heavy bow when he was less than five years old, and he was already the best in riding and shooting among all the princes when he was seven or eight years old.

In Wumeng Kingdom's annual hunting competition in autumn, the four kings at the age of eight were able to defeat the princes who were a few years or even more than ten years older than him, and won the hunting competition leader for several consecutive years.

In addition, he is not a barbarian who can only use force. He has read poetry and books since he was young, and he is familiar with the art of war, and he is both civil and military.

It doesn't look like someone easy to deal with.

Fortunately, it is said that the current king of Wumeng Kingdom suddenly fell ill a few years ago, and after barely being pulled back from the gate of hell, his health deteriorated day by day, and he had to rely on drugs to hang his life at a young age.

But even so, it doesn't mean they can relax their vigilance.

The current king trained several generals when he was still in good health, and all of them were brave and good at fighting. After the current king fell ill, he garrisoned various borders for him, so that the neighboring countries who originally wanted to take advantage of his illness to kill him dared not do whatever they wanted. action.

And this time the general who captured their two cities one after another was one of the current king's most powerful subordinates, Southwest General Sun Wushun.

The current king has five competent subordinates, who are titled according to the positions they are stationed in. The Southwest General Sun Wu is by the way a general stationed in the southwest of Wumeng Kingdom, that is, at the junction with the northwest area of ​​the Ling Dynasty.

It is said that this southwestern general once followed the three kings to fight and expand the territory. He also led troops to quell the chaos on the border of Wumeng State several times before, and he was almost victorious in every battle.

Some time ago, after he led his army to conquer the two cities on the northwestern border of the Ling Dynasty, he withdrew and returned to the southwestern fiefdom of Wumeng Kingdom, leaving two lieutenants to guard the two cities respectively.

Since then, Changsun Wu has made no further moves by the way, and I don't know if he simply wants to promote the national prestige of Wumeng Kingdom.But if you just want to promote the prestige of the country, the act of seizing the city is tantamount to a declaration of war.

What is their plan?

Qi Zizhen couldn't figure it out, Song Yaoxu and Tang Leyuan couldn't figure it out either.

But they all understand that if they just go to Jiuyou County to garrison and wait for Wumeng Kingdom's next move, then they will inevitably fall into a passive situation.

If they want to take the initiative, they have to send troops to attack them when they are not paying attention, and catch them off guard.

Song Yaoxu frowned slightly and asked, "Are we going to change direction to Fengshu County?"

Fengshu County is the closest to Jiuyou County among the two captured cities, and it is also the closest to them at present. If the army goes around, it will only take another three days.

Qi Zizhen shook his head: "Of course not. Judging from our current strength, it is dangerous to rush over like this. My plan is that one of the three of us will lead a thousand elite soldiers. When marching tonight, the troops will divide into two groups and rush to attack Feng Shu county.

"We don't want to regain lost ground, nor do we want to consume much of their vitality, as long as we express our intention to declare war."

He just finished speaking, and Tang Leyuan on the side answered, "Then I'll go. I have studied the tactics of running thousands of miles before, and I have an advantage over you."

"But will this be too dangerous?" Song Yaoxu was a little worried, "The disparity in military strength is too great."

Changsun Wushun has at least 5000 troops left behind in Fengshu County. If Fengshu County responds quickly enough, it is likely to suffer heavy losses.

Qi Zizhen's thinking was different from Song Yaoxu's, and he said firmly: "We just need to pretend that there is no difference.

"As the saying goes, 'Soldiers are deceitful'. Although we are weak, we can show that we are strong and create an invincible state in terms of momentum. And as far as I know from friends who are guarding, staying in Fengshu The deputy general stationed in the county has always acted cautiously, as long as we bluff, he will not dare to act rashly."

But after he finished speaking, he paused and became a little hesitant.

If there is to be such a menacing state, the performance of the soldiers is equally important.

Only a thousand soldiers are fighting against the elite soldiers of Fengshu County. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that this is a desperate and dangerous move. If the soldiers show timidity, the entire army will be vulnerable.

Tang Leyuan obviously also thought of Qi Zizhen's worries, but he didn't care about it: "We can call the archers and cavalry to mobilize later. I don't believe that even a mere 1000 people can't get together among so many people!"

He spoke boldly, and his actions were not sloppy at all. After Song Yaoxu and Qi Zizhen agreed, he immediately called together all the archers and cavalry, and he was not timid at all when facing the mob of people.

Tang Leyuan pulled out a battle flag from there without knowing it, and climbed up to a big rock just in front of the big open space.

He held the battle flag in one hand, and held up the half of the tiger talisman Song Yaoxu gave him in the other, and said loudly, "Brothers! It's time to test us! The southwestern general of Wumeng Kingdom captured our two cities in succession, and now he is lurking even more. Stare at us!"

"Our Ling Dynasty is powerful and powerful. We used to be a powerful country that shook the world. Why should we continue to defend like this! Tonight I will lead a hundred miles of elite soldiers to attack Fengshu County. I hereby recruit a thousand soldiers. Who is willing to go?!"

Tang Leyuan was wearing light armor, the wind whizzed past, making the battle flag rattle.

He just stood straight at the highest point, but like a pine and cypress, engraved with fearless heroism.

Qi Zizhen looked at his figure from below, and seemed to be able to imagine Tang Leyuan's heroic demeanor in his previous life when he led the army to fight.

The soldiers were infected by his aura, and after the initial silence passed, a small soldier came out in the front row, knelt down and clasped his fists: "The little one wants to go!"

Qi Zizhen glanced at the soldier who came out first—it was Qin Gong who just rushed back yesterday.

At the beginning, Song Yaoxu asked all the people in the camp to go to the nearest city temporarily, so that the wounded could recuperate and the uninjured could take care of the wounded.

After seven or eight days of recuperation, most of the injured had recovered a little, and a small number of uninjured people caught up with the progress of the army after discussion, and Qin Gong was the leader among them.

After Qin Gong, countless soldiers came out to petition one after another.

Some of them were soldiers who rushed back with Qin Gong, and more of them were warriors who were infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and they all fell to their knees.

However, another lieutenant general seemed to have some doubts about this, and stepped forward to ask a question: "It is a felony to dispatch troops without permission, can lieutenant general Tang have an order?"

Tang Leyuan responded proudly: "No!"

The lieutenant who originally wanted to remind him to remember to show the decree: "..."

The lieutenant was so confident that he thought he had heard it wrong.

Seeing this, Qi Zizhen walked unhurriedly to the boulder where Tang Leyuan was standing, facing the soldiers, raised the other half of the Tiger Talisman in his hand and said coldly, "I have it."

Half of the tiger talisman was tightly held by slender hands, reflecting a faint but firm light in the dusk.

Tang Leyuan on the big rock let out a "huh", jumped down in twos and twos, and put the tiger talisman in his hand and the one in Qi Zizhen's hand together - they fit perfectly.

The tiger fits into one, still sees the Holy One.

The soldiers present, including the lieutenant general, all knelt down: "Long live, long live, long live!"

The mighty momentum reverberated in the open space, making it even more firm.

After recruiting and selecting soldiers, and confirming the reasonableness and legality of this operation, the next step is to wait for the army to set off tonight to officially start this test.

Before leaving, Tang Leyuan ran to Song Yaoxu's camp to find Qi Zizhen, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "I didn't expect that Ah Qi actually has a tiger talisman. Emperor Hongchu trusts you so much?"

Song Yaoxu also seemed to be a little curious about this, and asked, "Did the emperor give it to you when he called you to talk that day?"

Qi Zizhen nodded lightly, and while pushing away Tang Leyuan's hand on his shoulder, he replied: "It was at that time. The emperor also told me that he had already expected the matter related to Guanwang, so he hoped that we For the first time, I was able to give it a go and handed over the Tiger Talisman and the battlefield in the northwest to us."

Tang Leyuan seemed a little emotional when he heard it, and said bluntly: "It turns out that the emperor is not so useless."

He didn't even care that the prince Song Yaoxu was still standing in front of him.Fortunately, Song Yaoxu would not argue with him, he smiled and said nothing.

Qi Zizhen thought of Tang Leyuan's performance today, and said helplessly, "You, Leyuan, don't know that I have the other half of the tiger talisman and deserve it so simply? Fortunately, another lieutenant general reminded me today, otherwise someone will make use of it in the future. Put on your black hat."

Tang Leyuan grinned, and said with a big grin: "But didn't you also say that one of the three of us led the army? One of you is the future emperor, and the other is the future national teacher. I, an unknown little man, will be punished if I am labeled Come on, you guys are different from me.

"It's okay if you're fine."

Qi Zizhen didn't expect him to say that, and was stunned for a while, unable to think of how to reply.

According to what he said, he must have considered such a thing a long time ago, but he still has no hesitation for them.

Song Yaoxu was also dumb, and after a while he chuckled helplessly: "You really...should I say that you don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, or should I praise you for being brave and fearless?"

Hearing this, Tang Leyuan really thought about it, blinked his eyes and said, "Why don't you praise me, Your Highness, I know the sky is high and the ground is thick."

After speaking, he estimated the time and didn't want to stay in the tent any longer. He stood up, patted the hem of his clothes, and waved his hands with a smile: "Don't talk, then I'll go back and get ready. I'll say goodbye after tonight, and we'll see you in a few days."

Qi Zizhen looked at the still bright smile on his face, as if he didn't want to take the risk to attack the enemy, but planned to have a good time with the soldiers.

He nodded, and bid farewell to Song Yaoxu softly: "See you in a few days."

Tang Leyuan turned and left, and finally waved to them with a free and easy gesture.

At such a moment, Qi Zizhen always felt that he would never be an obscure little person in the future.

He will be the national teacher in the future, Song Yaoxu will be the emperor in the future, and Tang Leyuan will definitely be a famous general in the future.

The author has something to say: You are the deputy general in the military camp, he is the prince in the palace, and I am the young tower master in the National Teacher Tower. We all have a bright future (strike out)
