When the cabinet ministers and Xu Junchen were summoned, the young man was also asked to come together. The cabinet ministers were surprised to see Xu Zhi also appear in their meeting this time. The king allowed him to come to the cabinet meeting, and he couldn't help but secretly remembered this young man who was just 17 years old when he became an official, and he began to weigh the pros and cons.These seasoned ministers will not object to the king's behavior this time. Presumably the king has made arrangements in advance, and the appearance of the young man here is by no means an ordinary observer. I am afraid that he has a heavy responsibility to be handed over to the young man. dealt with.

But even so, the cabinet ministers were still taken aback by what the king said, what?Didn't they get it wrong?

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all surprised that the general who resisted the foreign invaders this time was actually this young man!

No matter what they thought before, now they all come out to strongly oppose it. Isn’t this country’s major event a trifling matter, and this Daxuan country is famous for its literary and military skills, and it has always been a moth like a jackal, tiger and leopard. Since then, he has been watching.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

"Your Majesty, this Xu Langzhongling is still young, I'm afraid it's not appropriate! Your Majesty"

……

But Xu Junchen was unmoved, and kept standing by the side to obey the arrangement, as if he had already seen through everything, but he was looking forward to his younger brother's future performance even more.

The rebuttals in the hall were still endless, but the king turned his head and looked at the young man who had been standing silently behind him. He had been watching the young man's expression from the very beginning. After the lieutenant general, the young man was also surprised, and the subsequent reaction has been calm. Zong Zhengkuang was not dissatisfied when he saw this, and he was not surprised by favor or humiliation, just like a general. "I've made up my mind, Xu Zhi, can you complete this important task?"

Wen Xu stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists together, "Xu Zhi will fulfill his mission."

Then Zong Zhengkuang returned to the dragon chair and sat down, "Xu Junchen, Xu Zhi stepped forward to listen to the order"

Xu Junchen and Xu Zhi stepped forward and knelt down one by one.

The cabinet ministers all knelt behind, knowing that the imperial decree would be announced.

Zongzhengkuang picked up the Langhao pen on the imperial case, and wrote on the imperial decree with a big stroke. This is a heavy pass to defend against foreign enemies, and the date of the expedition is scheduled for the eighteenth of the next month, and there must be no mistakes in attacking and annihilating the enemy's army!"

"Minister Xu Junchen (Xu Zhi) has orders"

Since he already knew that this day would come, the boy had been making plans in advance, and he was bound to win this action.

All the ministers looked at the young boy, they knew that he was powerful, but this marching and fighting is not something that can be done with the courage of a man, it really is that the ignorant is fearless!They already knew about the king's uncompromising character. Now that the king has made a decision, no matter how much they persuade him, it will be useless. Fortunately, there is Hussar General Xu Junchen as the coach, even if he loses, he will not lose. I started to take a negative attitude.

And this trip is also the first battle of the boy's fame in the world, leaving a strong stroke in the history of the Qinglong Dynasty, which will be passed down to future generations——

Every day for the next month, the teenagers would mix in the barracks like ordinary soldiers, get up early and stay late, and train together. All soldiers who have participated in the battle know that if you relax and don’t work hard at this time, you can only get the last shroud of horse leather. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. If there is room for improvement, he will never be lazy. Even if one person is lazy, the other soldiers will not give him this opportunity. As companions, no one hopes that one of them will be missing when they come back, so they always consciously work hard. Add practice.

Nowadays, there are so many heroes in the world, Wen Xu never dared to be arrogant, and thought highly of himself. Although he alone could defeat thousands of enemies, but wars always required team fighting, and the soldiers were trained more diligently.

On the day of the expedition, the king held a sacrificial ceremony one mile outside the city, praying for the victory of this expedition. At this time, the [-] troops were ready to go, and they all looked at the king who was offering sacrifices on the high platform. The needles could be heard, and there was no sound.

Wen Xu secretly discussed things with Dan Nuo in his heart.

For Wenxu's request, Egg Nuo agreed with both hands and feet.

Witnessed by the [-] troops and the common people who came to see him off, they discovered that the heavenly general was strange after the king finished the sacrifice. The sky was filled with light, and a red light shot directly at the sacrificial altar where the king was.

This is an auspicious omen. Seeing this scene, the officials who were still full of sorrow began to have a glimmer of expectation.

Zongzhengkuang even felt the red light just now. Standing on the high platform, he raised his arms and shouted, "God bless us, this battle will be won!"

The soldiers raised their weapons one after another, and shouted with enthusiasm, "God bless our court, this battle will surely be won!"

"God bless me, this battle must be won"

Hundreds of thousands of generals plus tens of thousands of civilians, the cheers resounded through the sky.

In this expedition, morale has soared, and it will surely get twice the result with half the effort.

Seeing this scene, Xu Junchen straddled his horse, lifted the heavy black cloak with his left hand, and pointed his red tasseled spear straight ahead with his right hand.

In the anticipation of everyone, an army of one hundred thousand began a long journey.

At this time, the king standing on the high platform looked at the young man with his hair tied up high, wearing a red armor and a red cloak, straddling a horse and carrying a gun as he walked away. His eyes followed him until he disappeared. I don't know when we will meet each other in World War I, and we must give Gu a safe return.

The king had received intelligence about this war as early as one month ago, and the date of invasion chosen by Daxuan Kingdom is only three months later, and there are only two months left. It takes more than one month to reach Zizhong Pass. Even if the enemy invades earlier, local generals will be responsible for resisting. It is enough to resist for more than a month, so Wen Xu and the others can make early preparations and the lions go north.

When the army traveled halfway, they received a letter. It turned out that the enemy army accelerated their attack after knowing the Qinglong Dynasty's action. At this moment, the hereby pass has begun to face the enemy, and the opponent has already stationed ten miles outside the pass. .

That night, Xu Junchen and Xu Zhi called the accompanying generals to enter into the accounts to discuss. Moving together with a hundred thousand troops would delay the marching speed, so after discussion, they decided to divide the troops into two groups, with Xu Zhi leading [-] cavalry as the vanguard, and Xu Junchen Together with another general, a total of [-] soldiers took shortcuts and moved forward by water, followed by the logistics troops (logistics troops that transport ordnance, grain, grass, quilts and other materials).

As soon as the travel strategy came out, the generals immediately pulled out their camps and led their teams to leave. Xu Zhi, as a vanguard, traveled day and night at full speed, and finally arrived at Zizhongguan first after seven days, and made peace with the local generals.

At this moment, the two armies were facing each other, and neither of them acted in vain. After the enemy learned that the Qinglong Dynasty's reinforcements were Xu Zhi, they spent some time inquiring about a general of unknown origin. Ever victorious.

And Xu Zhi also knew how terrible the enemy they faced this time through the narration of the local general Long Yun. Don't dare to act rashly before thinking of a reasonable countermeasure.

It seems that they underestimated the invasion of the Daxuan Kingdom before they came. This time Di An actually led 15 soldiers and horses to deal with this critical situation with almost all the power of the whole country, and got reliable information. The reason why they came now The invasion was also due to the drought. There was no food and we had to send troops to attack. This critical pass is the first pass of the Qinglong Dynasty. Once it falls, there will be no army to resist in the plains behind. With 5 horses, plus the [-] troops that Wen Xu just arrived, the total is only [-] troops. It seems that they still underestimated the ambitions of the bordering Daxuan Kingdom.

And the reason why the other party has been holding back their troops for a long time is because the terrain of this important pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They have sent troops to attack before, but they have all failed. This time they had to use their trump card and sent Di An. It seems that they It is imperative.

But it is not yet known who will win and who will lose. Wen Xu's eyebrows and eyes are extremely firm at the moment. He has this confidence. In ancient times, there are not a few people who win more with less.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but Wenxu still had no eyebrows at this moment. He suddenly looked down at the map of Zizhongguan on the table, and thought about it, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and a touch of arrogance appeared in the corners of his eyes.

Then he took a few soldiers who were familiar with the local terrain to observe the situation outside the pass in person, and began to arrange preparations after returning.

And Di An had already found out Xu Zhi's background, so he decided to make a quick decision before the other side's other reinforcements arrived, set up a battle plan, and pulled out the whole army.

Wen Xu and the others, who had already been laying ambushes outside the customs, were all amazed when they heard the sound of the other party's cars whistling and horses whistling.

Di An's army has the advantage of having more people, while Xu Zhi's army has the advantage of occupying geographical location. The two armies seem to be evenly matched. If they really want to fight, the victory of Di An's army is greater than that of Xu Zhi. We had no choice but to take the form of defense first. There is a saying in the art of war: be strong and avoid it.

Those who are near and far away, wait for labor with loss, and wait for hunger with food, this ruler also (use his troops to approach the battlefield to deal with the enemy's coming from afar, use his troops' rest and rest to deal with the enemy's running fatigue, use his troops To deal with the hunger of the enemy, this is the way to master the combat effectiveness of the army)

Be invincible first, waiting for the enemy to be victorious, which means that the army must first create conditions that cannot be defeated by the enemy, stand in an invincible position, and then seek opportunities for the enemy to be defeated by us.If there are no conditions, we must create conditions.

The soldiers who had been ambushing for a long time on both sides kept staring at the enemy army slowly approaching from the opposite side, and once the secret sentry found out that the enemy army was about to enter the ambush area, they would inform Wenxu in time.

The battle between the two armies is on the verge of breaking out.

As soon as the army led by Di An arrived at the dangerous area, he knew that the other party must have ambushed this early, so he began to act more cautiously and adjusted his strategy to be on the safe side. A general led 8 soldiers as a team, and each team was separated About 8 minutes away, the front 7 people are divided into four teams, and the rear [-] people form a pair with their own leadership. If the situation is not good, the rear team can prepare in advance or go to support or retreat at any time without casualties. will be big.

Wen Xu had considered various situations long before. Before getting accurate data on the soldiers and horses facing the local battle, based on Di An's many years of marching experience, he would not let all the 15 soldiers and horses enter together, but march forward in batches. , but it depends on how many batches he divides into. In either case, Wen Xu has already prepared for this.
