Chapter 67 Adjustment

The lights were just on, and the main hall of the royal palace was brightly lit. King Su Xu You sat behind the plan stage and looked at the imperial edict that had just been sent.

The staff and generals from various departments of the Xiliang Army gathered together to discuss and analyze the intentions of the court, while the generals from the four routes were red-necked and rushed to fight to lead troops to follow the prince into the pass.

Like the Guanzhong Army, the Xiliang Army is a professional soldier. It does not need to farm and trains the ability to kill enemies with full-time training. It implements the "military merit system". If you don't fight, you will be demoted and there will be no rewards. It is equivalent to not fighting and you will have to suffer the northwest wind. If you haven't fought for too long, even the soldiers will be dissatisfied. If you have a war, you will rush to go.

Xiao Qi and Xu Buling sat together, listening to the words of many staff and military advisors, without interrupting.

After a brief discussion, King Su Xu You put down the imperial edict and spoke:

"The court only dispatched 50,000 people into the pass. Is it that the Xiliang army only defended but did not attack, and stalemate with the three kings in the east, so as to get a gap and quell the war in the north. The main force to suppress the rebellion afterwards, or the troops from the Guanzhong army and the Liaoxi Protectorate, the Xiliang army could not get the big head. How should we fight this battle?"

Xiao Qi had long considered the current situation and said at this time: "When the Xiliang army moves, the King of Chu will definitely turn to the King of Wu. The front lines between each other are probably in Jingzhou and Xiangyang. If you want to make a profit in this rebellion, at least before the Northern Qi retreats, the Xiliang army destroys the King of Chu and captures the remnants and approaches the territory of the King of Wei. If it can quell the four kings in the east in one fell swoop, it is best if Xu Bu ordered the suppression of the rebels to return to Chang'an, and Chang'an issued an edict to serve the king. The two kings of Shu and Yue have no soldiers, and the only ones who can rush to rescue are 150,000 soldiers from Xiliang..."

When the four generals heard this, they were stunned.

General Yang Zunyi spread his hands and said, "If it goes so smoothly, why would you issue a order to serve the king? Just welcome the prince into Chang'an to ascend the throne..."

No one dared to laugh in the main hall of the royal palace.

King Su raised his hand and stopped Xiao Qi's words: "It's too far to say this. As a Yue minister, my Xu family died as a Yue ghost. How could he start to plan for Chang'an before sending troops?"

Xiao Qi pursed her lips and said no more.

Xu Buling thought for a while: "The three kings in the east are all miscellaneous soldiers, and they are refugees, but there are also 700,000 people. If the King of Chu turns against each other, it will be a million. Add Wu and Chu, the world-rich granary of the world, which is really difficult to defeat the world-class granary with 50,000 people."

General Tu Qianchu waved his hand when he heard this: "A soldier is timid, and a general is timid. The Chu people are warlike, but they are all killed in the past. Now all the people left behind are hereditary military households. Jiangnan dare not say that destroying the 300,000 troops under the King of Chu does not require the prince to take action. The last general is 50,000."

Tu Qianchu's father was the first powerful general under the command of King Su Xu Lie. He once led his troops to destroy the main force of the Great Qi garrison in Chu. The name "Tu Qianchu" was also from this. He really didn't take the troops in Chu seriously. However, most of the troops under Tu Qianchu were cavalry and 20,000 armored cavalry were among them. If you pulled them out, you would not be able to prevent the "Tieluosha" of the Left Prince of Northern Qi, and you would definitely not be able to leave.

King Su Xu You thought and raised his hand and said, "Ling'er is in charge, Tu Qianchu, and Yang Zunyi serves as deputy commander Yue Jiulou is the military advisor. Tu Qianchu, you draw 10,000 light cavalry from under your hands, and the remaining three routes will draw guns and soldiers from the other three routes. The crossbow soldiers will gather 50,000 to enter the pass to suppress the rebellion."

"promise!"

The hall was solemn and stood up to receive the order.

When Xiao Qi heard that he had sent out two of the four generals, he understood the meaning after thinking about it for a moment. The four generals of the Western Liang Army, who followed Xu Lie to fight south and north, were all coaches who had brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers. His son was not necessarily better than his father, but he was definitely not far behind when he was trained since childhood. He let two generals lead 50,000 soldiers, which was obviously useless. The purpose was to avoid gathering the remaining soldiers and surrendering troops on the road to counter-rebellion. The snowball was so big that there was no general available.

Xu You thought for a while, and looked at the many subordinates and reminded him again: "On the battlefield, the situation is ever-changing, and it is difficult to predict victory or defeat in advance. This time, the bottom line is to defend the Guanzhong Road. How to advance and follow the trend, there is no need to force the troops back."

"promise!"

Everyone bowed and received the order.

After clicking the general, King Su Xu You left the hall, Xu Buling and Xiao Qi followed behind.

Xu You walked with his hands behind his back, thought for a while, and then said:

"The most difficult thing to marching and fighting is to attack the city. It can break through the city's Xiliang army without anybody, but the city walls and passes are there, and the siege is heavy. 50,000 people can attack the city, and 5,000 people can defend until the ammunition and food are exhausted. I have seen the artillery you built several times. It has miraculous effects on siege and defend the city, but it will take time to build it and transport it over. In the past few months, don't wipe out all 50,000 people."

Xu Buling nodded: "Don't worry, Father, I can open the city gate alone without artillery..."

When Xiao Qi heard this, she frowned slightly: "A round of crossbow formation shooting, no matter how high your martial arts are, it will become a sieve. It is so easy to attack the city, so why should you build a city wall?"

Xu Buling smiled and said, "If you have to do this, you don't have to fight like this."

King Su Xu You raised his hand: "Okay, go down and prepare. Don't take the troops to directly take Chang'an. It's useless to fight now."

Xu Buling nodded seriously, raised his hand and bowed, and then followed Xiao Qi back to the back house...—

The Chang'an City command was sent, and the news was soon learned in the back house, and many girls were immediately panicked.

Lu Hongluan and Song Yufu had just gotten married, so they couldn't bear to let their husband go to war like this. When they were in Chang'an City, they waited for their husbands to come back from youth, and when they saw them, they were worried that Xu Buling would fight for several years as soon as they went out.

After Xu Buling returned to the back house, he had not changed his prince's robe yet, and a group of girls surrounded him.

Lu Hongluan knew the importance of the matter, but she didn't dare to stop it. She just stood beside her, her eyes were red, and she stumbled on her lips and said in a low voice:

"Ling'er, how long are you going to go out?"

Xiao Xianger held Xiao Qi's hand and begged pitifully: "Sister, Xu Buling goes to war, you must follow the advice. We both look the same, so I have nothing to do with you, right?"

Xiao Qi naturally wanted to follow her. She wanted to throw Xiang'er in Xiliang, but she also knew that her sister was addicted. She left Xu Buling and couldn't even sleep. She had been fighting for at least one or two years, so she could not bear to stay alone in the empty bedroom. She just said to this:

"Xiang'er has a wide range of knowledge and knowledge, and her knowledge is far beyond that of the craftsmen in the army. It's not useless to carry it..."

When Xiao Qi spoke, the other girls naturally couldn't sit still.

Ning Yuhe held the long sword and said softly: "I have a high martial arts skills. When the princess and Xiang'er are away, they always need a guard, so I'll follow you too."

Needless to say, Zhongli Jiujiu said seriously: "My medical skills have been seen by all my sisters. If you don't bring me in front of you, you probably won't feel at ease."

Song Yufu pursed her lips, feeling a little unconfident: "I... I can write a memorial and draft documents, which should be useful..."

Seeing this, I thought I could follow it.

Compared with the six wives, the three little girls obviously have much more relaxation. They have not married into the Xu family and are still free people. They can only follow them by themselves if they cannot take care of them. At this time, they stand behind and wait and see.

The girls around him who care the most were the ones around him. He was not happy to be a monk for a few years because he waved his hand:

"I am a prince of a vassal prince, and it is okay to take charge of a few families when I take command. However, the situation of the brigade's marching is unpredictable, and it is easy to make a mistake when taking too many people. Jiujiu and his master are good at martial arts at night, so there is no problem in protecting themselves in the chaos of the army. Follow me. Qiqi, you should take a boat and take the others behind the army."

The girls were surprised when they heard this and nodded quickly.

Zhu Manzhi hugged his arms, but at this time he was a little unhappy: "Mr. Xu, I can do martial arts, I used to be a wolf guard..."

Xu Buling raised his hand and bounced on the head of the whole tree: "So you can keep it to protect Yufu and a few sisters, is that okay?"

“…”

Zhu Manzhi frowned and glanced at Ning Qingye, who had a strange expression next to her, and was as sad as Zhongli Chuchu. But when she went out to fight, she didn't dare to cause trouble, so she could only nod to say hell reluctantly.

When Lu Hongluan heard that she could follow her, her face was full of joy, and she turned around and said, "I'll pack up..."

Xu Buling raised his hand and said, "It will take several days for 50,000 troops to be transferred here. It will take at least a month to go to Chang'an. It will take a long time, so don't be so anxious."

"Anyway, I'm going to clean up... Yufu, let's go..."

"oh……"
