Become a feudal king from today

"Hahaha...General Chang spent money. Read"

evening.

In the private room on the third floor of the hotpot shop, Liu Fu raised his glass to Chang Wei with a proud look on his face.

Chang Wei drank the wine depressedly. After leaving Fushi Village during the day, they went to other villages.

Although Chen Hu already understood it, he still felt uncomfortable when facing the rural soldiers who sometimes hid underground and sometimes emerged.

What's more, they took so much time that rural soldiers from nearby villages came to support them.

It may even lead to a situation where there are too many and too little.

Zhao Xu was also there. In addition to him, Chen Hu and other generals of the Guards also came, and even Wang Ying also came.

Back in Yancheng, Liu Fu asked Chang Wei to invite guests to the hot pot shop to try something new, so Chang Wei came here despite the pain.

Zhao Xu felt that it was necessary to make overall arrangements, so he called all the important officials and generals over.

There were three tables sitting in such a noisy manner.

"This is just an exercise. If it were an actual battle, your losses would be even worse, because I haven't handed over the weapons and armor to the soldiers yet." Zhao Xu said sternly.

"What weapons is your Highness going to give them?" Chang Wei asked.

"The armor is the same as yours, and there's a crossbow."

When Chang Wei and Chen Hu heard this, they both shook their heads and clicked their tongues.

If these things are given to rural soldiers, their combat power can be greatly increased.

Especially the crossbow, it will really cause a lot of casualties to the enemy.

"In addition, there is a secret weapon." Zhao Xu said proudly.

Wang Ying heard it and smiled without saying a word. He knew what it was.

Everyone else looked curious.

"What is it?" Chen Hu felt that he would have nightmares when he went back at night.

"This will be kept secret for now." Zhao Xu didn't plan to say it now.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt an itchy feeling that was hard to scratch, but they didn't ask any more questions.

Just as he was talking, a guard came in from outside the door, holding a small bamboo tube in his hand.

After saying a few words to Xu Lie, Xu Lie handed the bamboo tube to Zhao Xu.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zhao Xu.

Taking the bamboo tube, Zhao Xu took out the note and frowned when he saw the content on it.

This is the information sent by Yanwei.

Tsui Hark found that the person he followed last time appeared again and went to Zhang's house.

At the same time, there is also information about the grassland.

They found that the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the grassland suddenly became somewhat frequent.

Putting the note away, Zhao Xu fell into deep thought.

Beidi's detailed work comes again, and at the same time there is action in the grassland.

This is probably not a coincidence.

Looking at everyone, he said: "I have just received news that there have been changes in Beidi recently. This is not good news."

"Something happened in Beidi?" Liu Fu frowned, "What do they want to do?"

"Aside from burning, killing and looting, what else can they do?" Chang Wei said coldly: "Your Highness, you should send out detective horses to conduct frequent inspections to avoid accidents."

Zhao Xu nodded.

He turned to Wang Ying and said, "Mr. Wang, when will the weapons and armor of the royal family be ready?"

"Within a month." Wang responded.

Zhao Xu looked at Liu Fu again and said, "During this period, you will continue to go to the countryside to implement supervision and cannot relax."

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Fu responded. The news made him nervous.

Finally, Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei: "The new recruits should step up their training."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei clasped his fists.

After distributing the tasks, Zhao Xu drank with everyone for a while.

Returning to the palace, he immediately told Xu Hark to closely monitor Beidi Xizuo.

The next day.

Chang Wei also sent detective horses to spy on the grassland. At the same time, Yanwei personnel also entered the grassland as merchants to explore the cause of Beidi's abnormal movements.

A few days later, all kinds of information were gathered at the palace.

Liu Fu, Chang Wei and he all judged a fact.

This time the Beidi Autumn Hunting time seems to be advanced.

In previous years, Beidi would usually go south only in October or even November.

Because it was past the autumn harvest and people had food in their homes, it was a good time to plunder.

But now it is only mid-August. Even if Beidi prepares for another month, it will only be more than September.

When everyone is confused about this.

A letter from Yanguan confirmed this fact again for Zhao Xu.

"General Mo said that the scouts they sent noticed something strange in the Black Iron King's tent, so they sent the cavalry deep into the grassland and captured a few prisoners. From the prisoners' mouths, they learned that this year's autumn hunting has been advanced, and General Mo asked us to respond early. , and at the same time, they also informed the Yuan family and reported it to the court. "

In the palace meeting hall, Zhao Xu showed Mo Zhai's autographed letter and spoke slowly.

"It seems that the news is correct." Liu Fu sighed: "What is supposed to come has come."

Chang Wei's dignified expression was full of excitement, "Beidi invaded Yanzhou every year, killing people and plundering everywhere. In the past, Yanjun was in disarray, and the people could only wait for the slaughter. How can we allow them to be reckless now? This time the general will die. Even on the battlefield, we must bite off a piece of their flesh.”

Zhao Xu put the letter down.

Since waking up, Beidi has been like a dark cloud, always hovering in the sky of Yan County.

Now this dark cloud is finally falling.

In this battle, if he cannot defeat Beidi and annihilate the Zhang family, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Yan County in the future.

But if he wins, his status and reputation will be greatly improved whether in Yanzhou or the capital.

"Come on, come on!" Zhao Xu stood up, "Now, I have no retreat but to fight to the death."

Liu Fu and Chang Wei nodded.

Since they chose King Yan, they decided to follow the same path as King Yan to the end.

After discussing some more things, the two went back separately.

Next.

Zhao Xu asked Xu Ke to keep an eye on the Zhang family and prepare to arrest Beidi Xizuo at any time, while secretly plotting against the Zhang family's plan.

At the same time, he kept an eye on the Department of War and War and urged the superintendent in three or five days.

A month later, all the weapons and armor of the Bingzhan Division were finally in place.

And that was a huge relief to him.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

On the general stage, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei inspected the royal army.

Now, each pro-army soldier wears a bright set of armor.

Now, he was passing in front of them one by one in a neat queue.

At the front of the line were the cavalry.

They had only trained for less than two months and were still immature compared to the skilled cavalry.

However, their faces were filled with high morale.

These cavalry, in front were a thousand light cavalry wearing scale armor, and behind were five hundred heavy cavalry wearing plate armor and their horses were also equipped with equipment.

After the cavalry came the infantry with spears, and then the sword and shield bearers.

They all wore plate armor that protected their teeth, and they passed by like a torrent of metal.

The last one is the crossbowman.

These crossbowmen also wear plate armor, and are often just three shots on the battlefield.

So after firing the crossbow arrows, they will fight like ordinary soldiers.

A mighty army of 30,000 people slowly passed in front of them.

Looking at the majestic power in front of him, Zhao Xu's heart was filled with enthusiasm, "Just wait, one day, you will not dare to cross Yanshan in Beidi."
