Wuchuan, Nanxiaochang.

"General Yao!"

Zhang Heizu bowed his head and saluted, and then looked at Lord Changsun next to Yao Xiong.

Yao Xiong cleared his throat, "This is Duke Changsun, our captain in Cheng'an."

He added: "The general's green lion was a gift from him."

Zhang Heizu then saluted him again and said, "Meet Changsun Gong."

Kasyapa, the eldest grandson, was a little surprised, "Are you also from Cheng'an? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"He is also from Cheng'an, but he has never worked in the county government, so you don't know him. Anyway, most of us here are from Cheng'an. There are at least 40 or 50 officers and generals in Cheng'an, and then there are them Bo Ling

He is from Wuchuan."

Kasyapa, the eldest grandson, was not surprised by this. It was normal to promote his fellow countrymen.

Yao Xiong introduced again: "He is called Zhang Heizu, and he has some merits."

Zhang Heizu then led the two of them towards the school grounds. On the road, Yao Xiong was still explaining to Changsun Gong beside him, "They practiced well before I left, but I haven't come back for a long time. I don't know.

What do they look like now?"

When the two of them walked into the school grounds, the auxiliary soldiers in the grounds stood neatly in their respective positions. They formed a huge square formation in military formation so that they could go out from the three gates at any time.

I saw that they were all standing upright, wearing strong armor, fierce faces, and solemn formations.

Yao Xiong looked at them blankly, rubbed his eyes again, walked closer, and looked at them.

They are really those auxiliary soldiers!!

He looked at Zhang Heizu beside him in astonishment. Before he could speak, the eldest grandson Kasyapa nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the formation is neat, the fighting spirit is high, and the training is good."

Yao Xiong knew what kind of virtue these people had in the past. He pursed his lips and said, "Black feet? Did you train them?"

"This is the merit of the generals."

"Awesome, why didn't I realize you had this ability in the past?"

"Auxiliary soldiers can be trained like this??"

Zhang Heizu said: "General, although he is already proficient in formations, he is not yet considered an elite. He has never seen blood, and he is not considered strong. He is stronger than the county soldiers, but much worse than the border soldiers."

Yao Xiong shook his head, "No, no, being able to practice like this is already very impressive!"

He looked seriously at Kassapa, the eldest grandson beside him, "When I trained them, I practiced for several days, but I still couldn't make them distinguish between left and right."

Kasyapa, the eldest grandson, laughed and said, "It's all the same. It was the same when I was a soldier. I was afraid and couldn't do it well."

"Yes! Yes! The general told me that too!"

Yao Xiong looked at Zhang Heizu and nodded happily, "Your martial arts skills are not too outstanding, but your military training is quite good. This eldest grandson has experienced many wars, and the general is going to let him help train the auxiliary troops.

Don't be arrogant, ask him for advice and learn more!"

"only."

Kasyapa, the eldest grandson, shook his head hurriedly, "I don't dare, I don't dare, I'm not someone who can train soldiers."

"Master Changsun, don't be humble!"

After Zhang Heizu sincerely asked for advice, Changsun finally expressed his thoughts.

"There is nothing left for this army to train now. All it lacks is experience."

"They don't have to stay in the school grounds all the time. They can go out to see blood when appropriate, or just fight some little thieves."

"Mr. Changsun, this is a border fortress. There are border soldiers everywhere. How can any little bandit dare to run here?"

"Then let them do patrolling and guarding. You can't train real elites in the school grounds."

Yao Xiong stood aside quietly, watching them chatting.

Zhang Heizu arranged a residence for the eldest grandson Jiaye, and he limped away from here. Zhang Heizu then came to Yao Xiong's side and said, "General Yao, I went to the government office today. They said that the general is not in Wuchuan. I don't know the general."

Where?"

"I am the Auxiliary General! If you have anything, just tell me!"

"The food and fodder given to us by the temple was based on the allocation of county soldiers. It cannot withstand such training, and the food in the auxiliary barracks began to be short. General Yao wonders if he can distribute some more?"

"General Er went to Jinhe to check on the enemy's situation. He will be back tomorrow."

The wind was strong and the weeds on the ground were trembling.

Liu Taozi stood on a high slope, looking at the Jinhe River in the distance, and then at the Zhou people's camp further away.

Yan Heijing stood next to Liu Taozi. He was actually not too short, but standing next to Liu Taozi, he looked a little too petite.

"General. That's right there."

"Um?"

Liu Taozi didn't hear clearly, so she lowered her body slightly and turned her head.

The wind is too strong.

Yan Heijing said loudly: "General!! Over there is the enemy's front camp!! There are less than a thousand sergeants!! The construction started a few days ago!!"

"Are they elite?"

"yes!!"

"Have you ever fought?"

"No! But they are very good at riding and are very alert!"

Tian Zili stepped forward slightly and said, "Brother, you can't act rashly."

"They are deliberately provoking!"

"They built a large camp outside our city just to attract us to attack. However, destroying this camp will not be of any use to us. Instead, it will break the agreement between the two countries."

"When the time comes, the Zhou people will use this as an excuse, and there will be many people in the country who want to deal with you."

Yan Heijian glanced at Tian Zili and said to Liu Taozi: "General!! I don't know these big things, but what I know is that if the enemy is allowed to build the camp's arrow tower outside the city, then we will have to give up the gold.

The river is broken. The people we sent cannot enter the city at all, and the people in the city cannot come out!"

"Although Jinhe is strong, it is too far from the garrison and too close to the main force of Zhou soldiers. We cannot allow the Zhou people to set up camp here!"

Tian Zili shook his head and stroked his beard, "I think the gains and losses of one city and one gate are not that important. This Jinhe is a new gain. There are no dangerous cities around it to rely on. The risk is too great and it is not worth it.

If you invest too much energy, it would be better to leave it to the Zhou people to strengthen the defense line around the white horse."

Liu Taozi didn't speak. He raised his head and looked further away.

"If there is a golden river, you can choose Shibi and fertile fields in the north, and you can choose Liangu in the south to return to the true state."

Tian Zili smiled bitterly, "But...how are we going to defend it?"

Liu Taozi looked around and suddenly asked: "What is the name of this high slope?"

Yan Heijing was stunned and said, "General, there is no name here and there is no one here."

“The terrain here is good.”

Liu Taozi looked around and then looked into the distance.

The two men under his command were both at a loss at this moment, wondering what the general was doing by suddenly saying this.

Liu Taozi asked: "Zili, if we want to build a high-walled stronghold here within ten days, how many civilians will be needed?"

"At least 60,000 people are needed"

Tian Zili hurriedly said: "General, there is no shortage of civilians at the border fortress. We also have stones and wood for repairs. But this place is too close to the Zhou people. If the civilians haven't come close yet, the enemy's scouts will find out. When the time comes, they will attack with a large army. Only

I’m afraid we’ll suffer heavy losses.”

"The enemy's main force is in Guizhen and Yongfeng. It takes one day to spread the news, two days to send people to inquire about the capital, one day to discuss the results in the capital, two days to send them back, two days to organize the troops, and one day to come here.

.This is on the premise that they handle it as quickly as possible."

"As long as we are quick enough, we can repair the city walls and gullies before they send out troops."

Tian Zili asked: "What if the enemy general does not go to the temple to report to him, but directly decides to send troops?"

"Then be prepared for an attack."

"It happens that the border soldiers have had no military merit for a long time."

Liu Taozi looked at the worried Tian Zili, and explained: "General Hulu told me: The one who stayed in Yongfeng was a man named Yuwen Qianwei. He had never fought in a war, and he died because of Yuwen Hu.

was entrusted with important tasks,

A year ago, General Hu Lu attacked the surrounding garrison towns. This man hid in the city and did not dare to come out. On the other side of the city, it was Xue Yusheng, the third division commander of Yitong. He was also a confidant of Yu Wenhu. When General Hu Lu came earlier,

, he abandoned the city and fled."

"Not only did Yuwenhu not kill him, he also promoted him."

Tian Zili's lips trembled.
