Feng Polu smiled and said: "There is no doubt about the fighting power of the barbarians. Whether they are invincible or not depends on who is in command." The meaning of this naturally means that the barbarians are invincible under his command.

It was hard for Zhou Ting to say anything at the moment, after all Feng Polu had indeed made a lot of military exploits.

"The Marquis of Changling is still worried?" Feng Polu said with a faint smile: "When I led the troops to fight in Mobei, I always won more with less. Chu Huan's Northwest Army was beaten by Xiliang people back then. It's unbearable, and the fighting power of the barbarians is not inferior to that of the Xiliang people. They looked good before, but they just defeated the Xishan Army. How can the Xishan Army under Qiao Mingtang compare with the soldiers and horses under the Marquis? ?”

Zhou Ting said with a serious expression: "In this way, Bei Yonghou is preparing to disobey the will of the Holy Majesty and abandon the city to fight in the field?"

"Abandoning the city is out of the question." Feng Polu shook his head and said, "This Marquis will stay in the city to garrison soldiers and horses, but instead of sitting in the city and waiting to die, it is better to give it a go. If we win the first battle, we can relieve Chu Huan." The threat to Hexi...!"

"What if you lose?" Zhou Ting asked.

Feng Polu frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "At that time, it will not be too late to retreat to Yunshan City." He said again: "Marquis Changling, this Marquis is already preparing to write to the Holy Majesty, to report my plan to the Holy Majesty, since You are here, and I hope you will write with me."

Zhou Ting, on the other hand, seemed rather worried, and asked, "Bei Yonghou, do you underestimate Chu Huan's strength? Don't forget that Chu Huan is in the northwest, but he has lost consecutively to Qiao Mingtang and Xiao Huanzhang. Ordinary people...!"

"It's good to think carefully before the battle." Feng Polu said expressionlessly: "But if you don't have the heart to win, look forward and backward, or even have the intention of fearing the enemy, then it is not a good thing."

What he said was a bit impolite, and Zhou Ting immediately said: "Bei Yonghou, I came here in the name of the Holy Majesty to help you resist Chu Huan, and everything is just to be careful. Please take it back."

Feng Polu smiled and said: "The Marquis of Changling has misunderstood. This Marquis is not saying that you are afraid of the enemy, but just telling you that since he is determined to fight Chu Huan to the death, this Marquis already has the determination to win." Looking up Tianshi said, "If the Marquis of Changling is unwilling, this Marquis will submit the paper to the Holy One alone."

Zhou Ting opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak.

When it was dark, all the generals under Feng Polu's command had already been ordered to come. Inside the big tent, Feng Polu was sitting in the middle with a big horse and a golden knife, while Zhou Ting was sitting on the side. There are several important generals.

Shu Wutai and An Lei still glared at each other, but in front of Feng Polu, neither of them dared to attack.

"Everyone, this general has received the military report. Chu Huan's troops are about to move. If there is no accident, they may send troops to Yunshan in the next few days." Feng Polu said in a deep voice: "The Marquis of Changling was ordered by the Holy Majesty, Come here to assist us in defeating the enemy...!"

Everyone looked at Changling Hou Zhouting, and seeing his weak state, they felt disdain from the bottom of their hearts.

Whether it was the barbarians or the other generals in Hexi, they were all battle-hardened, like tigers and wolves. They naturally didn't pay attention to refined scholars like Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting naturally also saw the disdain on everyone's brows, but he remained calm and said calmly: "Bei Yonghou is too polite, I have no power to restrain the chicken, if I really want to defeat the enemy, I still have to rely on you." After a pause, he said: "It is the Holy Majesty's will that the whole army stick to Yunshan Prefecture City. As long as we stick to it for two months, the imperial court will send reinforcements...!"

Before he finished speaking, a general said loudly: "Stick and wait for help? Marquis of Changling, does the Holy Majesty really have such a will?"

Zhou Ting said indifferently: "Could it be that this Marquis can still forge the holy order?"

"Marquis Changling, we mainly rely on cavalry, and if we enter the city to defend ourselves, wouldn't the cavalry abolish their martial arts?" one person said loudly.

Yiman Wanhu Ibrahimovic has already stood up and said harshly: "Facing the enemy, shrinking back is not the temper of our barbarian warriors, and I will never allow my warriors to humiliate themselves in such a way. brave name."

For a while, all the generals shouted one after another, and they all demanded a decisive battle with the Northwest Army.

Zhou Ting frowned, and said in a deep voice: "This is the Holy Majesty's will, do you want to resist it?"

Because of the fight with An Lei, Shu Wutai was full of anger and had nowhere to vent his anger. He stood up and said loudly: "We came to the Central Plains to help your Qin State suppress the rebellion, not to be cowards in the city where we live."

Although An Lei is incompatible with Shuwutai, he also opposes sticking to the city in his bones.

For the barbarians, the important purpose of war is not only to defeat the enemy, but the most important thing is to obtain rich spoils by defeating the enemy.

Although they are brave and good at fighting, they all lack real strategic vision. In their view, if they want to obtain military exploits and rich spoils, they can only be obtained through offense.

Moreover, the barbarian soldiers transferred to the Central Plains this time are almost all elite cavalry selected from various tribes. They are bloodthirsty and warlike in their bones. They know very well in their hearts that the barbarian cavalry can only play field battles It is not what they are good at.

Zhou Ting frowned and wanted to speak, but Feng Polu had already raised his hand to stop and said, "Marquis Changling, you have also seen that everyone's morale is like a rainbow, and everyone here is a veteran warrior, since they all feel that they should I think it’s better to listen to everyone’s opinions.”

Zhou Ting knew that under such circumstances, the possibility of persuading these people to retreat to Yunshan Prefecture was very slim, and he sighed: "Bei Yonghou, once you lose your manners, the Holy Majesty will pursue it, have you thought about the consequences?"

"The meaning of the Holy Majesty is naturally not wrong." Feng Polu said: "Yunshan Prefecture City, you still have to defend it. This Marquis is not leaving the city alone. Changling Marquis, how about this, Yunshan Prefecture City, just hand it over. I will guard the city for you. The Marquis has nearly [-] troops stationed in the city, and the Marquis of Changling can go to the gentry in the city and ask them to come out to organize the city's elite and strengthen the city's defense force. We will fight and defend. What do you think?"

Zhou Ting pondered for a while, and finally asked: "Since Bei Yonghou wants to fight this battle, does he have a specific plan? Chu Huan also has a lot of cavalry...!"

Feng Polu had already stood up, turned around and walked to a map behind him, raised his hand and said, "This is the map of the West Mountain Road. This Marquis has already thought about it, and will line up in Qiufengyuan to meet the Northwest Army."

Zhou Ting got up and walked over slowly, other generals also surrounded him.

"Look, Marquis Changling, this is Qiufengyuan, only a hundred miles south of Yunshanfu City...!" Feng Polu pointed to a spot on the map and said, "There is a basin in the middle, wide and wide. It is flat, flat and flat, which is the cavalry's favorite place, with a width of more than ten miles, and on the left and right sides of him, there are two highlands, condescending...!"

Zhou Tingdao: "I've seen it here before, you mean to station troops here?"

"Exactly." Feng Polu said with a smile: "This is the most suitable place, and this Marquis has already made preparations. The soldiers and horses of Shuwutai are now stationed in Qiufengyuan, which is also where our army is stationed. Forefront."

Zhou Ting caressed his beard, thoughtfully.

"The total strength of Chu Huan's troops leaving the customs this time is no more than 6000. He will stay behind in Xiguguan, Liangzhou, and Tongzhou, especially Liangzhou. The south is Xu Chang's sphere of influence, and Chu Huan is No matter how daring he is, he will definitely have to garrison soldiers and horses in Liangzhou. If there is no accident, at least 2 to 4000 people will be scattered in these places, and the ones that can really be used to attack Yunshan are no more than [-] people." Feng Polu seemed quite confident, "His cavalry, as far as I sent people to investigate, is only a few thousand, and they are mainly pawns. I have [-] cavalry and [-] infantry on hand. With the [-] infantry left behind in Yunshan Fucheng, there are still [-] infantry that can be used to fight. In addition, there are thousands of soldiers from Xishan, adding up, there are [-] people, enough to fight Chu Huan."

"Yes, what is the situation of the Xishan Army?" Zhou Ting asked.

Feng Polu said: "After Qiao Mingtang fled in fear of crime, the Marquis has already reorganized Yunshan's soldiers and horses. There are more than 3000 soldiers, which are still somewhat combat-capable. Now this army and horses are stationed in the Qiufengyuan area. Once a war starts , you can use them as pioneers.”

Zhou Ting nodded slightly, then thought of something, and asked: "They shouldn't have any problems, right?" Naturally, he also thought that these soldiers and horses were originally under Qiao Mingtang's command, and now Qiao Mingtang's whereabouts are unknown. Willingly obey Feng Polu's dispatch and go all out.

Feng Polu smiled lightly, and said: "After all, they are soldiers of the Qin State. Qiao Mingtang's crime of treason has been made public. If they still think about Qiao Mingtang, they are also a group of rebels. If they can fight with all their strength on the battlefield After the war, I will ask the imperial court for credit for them, otherwise...!" Clenching his fists, he said with a sneer, "It's just for the imperial court to wipe out this chaotic army."

Zhou Ting pondered for a while, and finally said: "Since Beiyonghou is determined to fight Chu Huan, I know I can't persuade you to change your mind, but you must plan carefully, and you must not underestimate the Northwest Army."

Feng Polu glanced at everyone, and said: "This Marquis will not underestimate the Northwest Army, but he is full of confidence in my brothers." He said solemnly: "Everyone, this battle is the one where you will truly become famous. At that time, as long as you defeated Chu Huan, the glory, wealth, honor and high salary are nothing to you." With a strange smile, he said: "If you can reach Tongzhou, go to Tongzhou City more, I will give you three days of freedom in the city. , whatever you want to do, go ahead and do it.”

As soon as he said this, many people's faces immediately showed excitement.

Zhou Ting changed color and said: "Bei Yonghou, this is...!"

"Marquis Changling, don't get me wrong." Feng Polu had already raised his hand and said, "This Marquis is just letting them relax after the big battle, desperately suppressing the thieves, after a narrow escape, I always have to give my brothers some explanation."
