I don’t know what he thought of, but a somewhat emotional smile suddenly appeared on his face and he nodded:

“That’s right, the top priority now is to retreat from the enemy.”

 Wei Yan is fine, as long as he can fight, other things will be discussed later.

However, Yang Yi opened his mouth and seemed to want to speak, but Zhuge Liang did not give him a chance to interrupt.

 He ​​held a long whip in his hand, pointed it directly at the huge sand basin on the desk, and started the military discussion.

"It is reported that the army led by Qin Lang does not belong to Guanzhong, but is an elite army of Wei thieves in Luoyang. Many of them have elite cavalry, and their combat power cannot be underestimated."

"He came from Chencang along the bank of the Wei River. There is no need to cross the water. The flat land on the bank is also conducive to the deployment of the cavalry, so we must also respond with the cavalry."

 Speaking of this, many people looked at Guan Xing and Zhang Bao.

 After the Battle of Xiaoguan, the emperor immediately rebuilt the northern and southern armies.

It is rumored that a certain lady named Zhang fed ghosts with her body and obtained the method of forming an armored cavalry army from the ghost king on behalf of the royal family.

I don’t know if it’s true or not. Anyway, the rumors are well-founded.

But to be honest, the Northern and Southern armies were indeed built according to the standards of the armored cavalry from the beginning.

According to the plan, the southern army led by Zhang Bao was a fully formed armored cavalry force, while the northern army led by Guan Xing was a fine cavalry auxiliary to the armored cavalry army.

 It’s just that Adou and Zhang Xingcai completely underestimated the money-burning ability of the armored cavalry.

 Halfway through, I discovered that the living standards of the royal family were plummeting.

　　If we continue like this, let alone eat the seafood sent from Soochow, even if we drink it, it will probably be tea made with tea foam, and the money will be almost empty and mice will run away!

At this time, the emperor and his wife thought of Feng Mingwen, who liked to make plans in advance.

It’s just that now that things have happened, we can’t start over from the beginning, let alone beg our brother-in-law with shame only in the middle of it.

 So in the end, I had to lower the standard and changed the armor and cavalry equipment into armored cavalry.

 The so-called armored cavalry refers to people wearing armor.

 And equipment refers to horse gear and armor.

  In other words, both the northern and southern armies now have men wearing armor, while the horses only have leather armor to protect their vital points.

 Firstly, it lowers the requirements for war horses, and secondly, it reduces most of the expenditure.

 Zhang Xingcai finally had a little money left in his hand, barely able to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

Although this was the first time that the Northern and Southern armies went to war after they were formed, their combat power was not too weak.

Guan Xing and Zhang Bao each commanded three thousand armored cavalry, which could even be regarded as the most powerful cavalry in the hands of the prime minister.

 Because the Northern and Southern Army not only completely absorbed the soldiers of the Kansai Cavalry left over by Ma Chao, but also received a lot of friendly support from the Liangzhou Army.

 After all, the top civil and military officials around Liangzhou Governor were named Zhang and Guan.

The two brothers-in-law and brother-in-law, who finally understood the benefits of marrying their younger sisters, said in unison:

 “The general is willing to lead the army there!”

"You two are no more than six thousand strong, and they are all cavalry. We still need a general and infantry to go."

Zhuge Liang said, his eyes falling on Wei Yan.

Wei Yan lowered his head and remained silent.

 In his eyes, Qin Lang's troops only numbered 30,000 to 50,000 men at most, and could only be regarded as a partial force of Wei thieves.

 If you want to achieve great success, you still have to go to the east. Sima Yi's place is the real main battlefield.

When the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty saw Wei Yan deliberately avoiding his gaze, he frowned, sighed inwardly, and turned to look at Wu Ban:

“General Wu, if I give you 10,000 men, can you be sure to stop the thieves from the west?”

 Wu Ban said quickly:

“With regard to the assistance of the two generals Zhang, not to mention blocking it, we are sure to defeat the enemy.”

With armored cavalry guarding both wings, the Wei thieves had no advantage of cavalry and had nothing to fear.

Even if there are fewer people than the enemy, it is very easy to defend the camp with the help of the Han's unique bows and crossbows and the favorable terrain.

The Prime Minister nodded:

"General Wu has such a good ambition, but Qin Lang's troops are not comparable to ordinary Wei thieves. If you meet him, you must not underestimate the enemy."

"The three of you only need to guard the camp, block the bandits from the west, and prevent Qin Lang from advancing eastward. That will be considered a great achievement."

“If we let the thieves approach Wuzhangyuan and interact with Sima Yi in the east, it will undermine my plan to seize Guanzhong. Remember this.”

Seeing the prime minister's solemn and solemn instructions, Wu Ban's heart trembled: "The last general is willing to establish a military order."

 After arranging the defense in the west, Zhuge Liang planned to personally take over the main force and prepare to meet Sima Yi's army in the east.

 The generals each received their military orders and went out to prepare.

Zhuge Liang looked at Wei Yan who was about to walk out of the tent, and finally couldn't help but said:

 “The length of the article will remain for now.”

Hearing the Prime Minister's words, the others did not react much. Only Yang Yi stood hesitantly and looked at the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister didn't know whether he hadn't noticed him or not, as his eyes didn't fall on him at all.

Yang Yi stood for a while and saw that the prime minister did not call him, so he had to exit the tent reluctantly.

“I don’t know that the Prime Minister called me, but do you have something to give me?”

Zhuge Liang glanced at Wei Yan, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"I remember that you have a son named Wei Rong, who is under Feng Mingwen's sect?"

Wei Yan was a little surprised. He didn't understand why the prime minister wanted to ask about his family affairs. He just nodded: "Exactly."

The Prime Minister pondered for a while, and then continued to ask: "How is the relationship between your father and son?"

Wei Yan became more and more puzzled:

"It's acceptable. Although he is not my biological child, his mother has always taken care of the internal affairs of my house. He often visits my house and is polite to me on weekdays. In his words, he often thanks me for taking care of his mother."

 Wei Rong’s current status is not ordinary. Just his status as Feng Jishi’s first disciple is enough to make people raise eyebrows.

Perhaps few people know that Wei Rong's mother was brought into the palace by Wei Yan in his early years, but it is naturally impossible for Wei Yan to turn a blind eye to Wei Rong's current status.

 A few years ago, he had already turned Wei Rong's mother into his first wife.

So regardless of the grievances between Wei Yan and Feng Jishi, Wei Yan was finally kind to Wei Rong's mother and son, and Wei Rong would naturally not be rude to Wei Yan.

Hearing what Wei Yan said, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but take a deep look at Wei Yan, with a strange expression on his face.

 “That’s it…it’s…very good. You can go down first.”

Wei Yan went out confused.
