After the news came out, Yan Xiang rushed back in advance only two days later.

At this time, Wang Zheng was personally doing the mobilization oath before the army set off on the school grounds in the city. After hearing the news, he immediately ran to greet him and saw that he had brought many people. At a rough glance, there were about three to four thousand people, and he couldn't help but feel certain.

Later, when they returned to the mansion to discuss matters, the two of them came face to face. Wang Zhengcai noticed that the scholar was dusty and his clothes were stained with blood. He couldn't help but show concern immediately:

"Sir, it seems that this journey is not peaceful?"

After this war, Yan Xiang's temperament has changed quite a bit. The previous elegant demeanor has faded a lot, but the look on his face has become much more determined. Hearing this, he smiled and said lightly: "Now the main force of the Xiapi Army

, should be gathered in Huailing City, but Gaoshan is geographically closest to Guangling County, so there should also be a branch stationed there."

"I don't know how many people there are, but within ten miles outside the city, a lot of rangers have been sent to sweep, with the intention of cutting off the passage of our army."

"When there were few people there before, there was quite a bit of fighting."

"If there are more soldiers gathered behind us, it won't be a problem." Wang Zheng laughed and asked, "By the way, are there people coming from Yangzhou?"

"My lord has sent General Qiao Rui here." Yan Xiang nodded and said, "During this period, Xiangben has gathered nearly ten thousand people, but General Qiao believes that the enemy in Xiapi has just won a great victory, and the main force is still there, which boosts morale.

It was very prosperous, so I asked for most of it and left."

"Oh?" Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "There was a battle when you came back. How was the battle?"

"It's still a confrontation at the moment." Yan Xiang replied, and then changed the topic: "According to General Qiao's report, Your Majesty is very happy to hear that although we lost Ji Ling along the way, we captured Tangyi and even defeated the main force of the Guangling Army.

If you are not victorious, you will feel that the governor is heroic..."

Having said this, Yan Xiang paused and smiled uncomfortably: "My lord added that there are many people on this road now, and the governor must be working hard as the chief general, so he specially arranged for General Qiao to give the gift to the governor before.

Come together and take care of important military matters, so that you can relax a little in addition to being relaxed on the battlefield."

Gift?

Wang Zheng was startled for a moment, then reacted quickly.

This should be talking about that beautiful maid Bu Wan'er?

Isn't this nonsense? He curled his lips secretly. How would it be appropriate to have a woman in the military camp?

But the next moment, he knew that his thinking was too simple. Attacking Guangling was related to Yuan Shu's plan. Skeleton King's move seemed unwise, but it should have a deeper meaning. It couldn't be just to "reward himself", right?

Could it be that there are too many people on this road?

Even though Yuan Jun was led by Yan Xiang, he still couldn't rest assured, so he arranged for Bu Wan'er to come and spy on him?

"In that case..." After thinking about this, Wang Zheng smiled and no longer refused: "Then thank you Zhou Mu for your kindness."

After chatting for a while, since Yan Xiang had returned to the city with his new army, Wang Zheng didn't want to waste any more time, so he directly ordered Gu Jian to summon the generals, just in time to let the few officers brought by Yan Xiang get familiar with each other first.

Everyone gathered in the lobby, Wang Zheng looked around the audience, showed a satisfied smile, and said loudly: "Now we have thousands of Jiangdong warriors to help us. We have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and even more brave soldiers and elites. Guangling is already at your fingertips.

!”

First, to boost morale, Wang Zhengcai got to the point, unfolded the map, and pointed out the vicinity of Guangling:

"According to what I have seen, this attack on Guangling is only blocked by the city of Yuguo, but there are Gaoyou cities to the north of Guangling, which are not far apart, so we must guard against them."

"Therefore, instead of dividing the troops into three areas, on the upper left wing, Mr. Yan, you will arrange the troops to approach and intercept other Guangling troops in the county who may come to help."

"The right wing is at the bottom. I will arrange for Gu Jian and others to stay in Tangyi to guard our retreat..."

"As for the Chinese army, I and your husband will lead 6,000 people together. The goal is to attack Yuguo and capture Guangling!"

After a few words of introduction, Wang Zheng turned his head and asked, "Sir, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"

"The governor is a general's talent." Yan Xiang nodded: "Just follow the governor's arrangements in everything."

Since the first battle in Tangyi, Wang Zheng used the method of mourning the soldiers to sharpen the front, and personally risked his bow and arrow to inspire the morale of the army. In this regard, Yan Xiang has already truly admired his ability and has no objection:

"When will the governor prepare to send troops?"

"The original plan was to set off within five days. Sir, you arrived in time and there is still plenty of time." After pondering for a moment, Wang Zheng said: "The friendly troops have traveled a long distance and only arrived today. Let's do this. We will give them one day to rest and regroup, and they will set off directly the next day.

!”

"The governor cherishes his soldiers so much." Yan Xiang had no objection: "No wonder his soldiers must go first in every battle."

The two of them discussed it in detail, set a date, and the business came to an end.

After Yan Xiang left, Wang Zheng walked out of the school grounds, climbed up and looked into the distance, and saw the clear blue sky, white clouds and gray dogs. On the vast plain, the vague outline of Guangling seemed to be faintly visible.

It's dark, like a black rice grain.

He turned around and looked west again. There were many dark spots outside the city that were busy going back and forth. This was where the newly arrived Yuan's army camp was located. After all, the town was not big. If nearly ten thousand people were stationed in it, it would be a bit crowded.

After watching it for a while, Wang Zheng shook his head secretly, it was too ordinary.

Looking at this camp, we can see that the few Yuan Jun generals who came this time are not capable people. As for Yan Xiang...

Although he is an outstanding strategist, his ability and experience in the military are still far behind Ji Ling's before.

But from a certain perspective, it's actually a good thing.

Incompetent people, whether convinced by virtue, coerced, or lured with benefits, are easier to control than confident generals who are good at fighting.

As long as these people are subdued and they only follow their own lead, Yuan Jun, who is new along the way, will soon be under his control?

...

When I returned to the county government office, I saw a familiar figure.

The sky was still very bright at this time, but it was always like this in summer. Before the golden crow fell, there were jade rabbits rushing to take over. In fact, it was already dinner time.

Bu Wan'er also prepared meals thoughtfully.

Speaking of which, although Wang Zheng is now in a high and powerful position, most of the time, due to wars, his usual place of residence is either in a military camp or in the wild, and there are very few people serving him.

The personal guards had no problem guarding and killing enemies, but they were all rough guys after all. They were unsatisfactory at taking care of and serving people. Wang Zheng was often too busy during meals and forgot to eat. They also accompanied him.

We forgot together and were hungry together.

Fortunately, Wang Zheng has an excellent physique and is full of energy, so it's not a big deal.

But after a busy day, it is very comforting to see a table of hot meals when you come home, even if you are not hungry.

His heart warmed, and he nodded to the beautiful maid. After eating a few bites, he felt that the food was quite delicious. He couldn't help but look at Bu Wan'er with admiration. He saw her kneeling on the side, quietly, smiled, and said softly.

He said in a voice: "It's a long journey from Yangzhou to here. Isn't it hard work?"

Bu Wan'er lowered her head, exposing her white neck, and shook it gently.

"Are you ready to eat?" Wang Zheng touched his nose. He found that every time he faced this woman, he didn't know whether it was because the other party's reaction was too dull or because of his own problems, but he always inadvertently ended up in what later generations would call "awkward chat."

In this state, I have no choice but to find something to say:

"Come, sit down, let's eat something together?"

As he said that, he gently patted the empty space on the table.

He didn't know whether he was unwilling or afraid. Even though they had skin-to-skin contact, Bu Wan'er was still so reserved when they were alone together, which made Wang Zheng feel a little bored.

He admitted that maybe it was because the girl was a perfect woman before. Even though she didn't know her as young as Huo Si, and had never met her before, their overnight friendship was enough to make Wang Zheng have some feelings for her.

Treating her differently, I always feel that she is extraordinarily different.

But if the other party insists on being polite, he can't force it.

For a moment, Wang Zheng fell silent, and Bu Wan'er just lay quietly on the ground without saying a word.

The hall fell into an audible silence.

After a while, Bu Wan'er raised her head slightly and cast an inquiring gaze on Wang Zheng. However, she saw that Wang Zheng did not look at her, but instead stared out the window, as if looking at the summer evening scene, but his expression was thoughtful, but also...

Not like.

What is he thinking?

Bu Wan'er secretly looked at the boy, her childish eyes but with a different kind of seriousness, as if she was looking at a beloved toy.

In fact, after looking at him for a long time, he actually looks not bad at all.

As she thought about it, Bu Wan'er moved her knees, and her skirt moved slightly, her body showed exquisite curves, and her fair thighs were looming, as if she wanted to move her knees forward, and followed her instinct to get a little closer to Wang Zheng.

But as soon as he moved even a few inches, his expression that had always been a little dull or even dull changed. He frowned, his eyelashes trembled, and immediately his expression became frightened.

She asked about the smell again.

That's...the smell of killing!

It seems that as long as she is close to Wang Zheng, the girl can pass through the smell of killing and seem to see the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

This always reminds her of what Yuan Shu said to her.

Valley

Don't look down on Wang Zheng because of his age, let alone misunderstand him because of the false title of Xuzhou Governor.

This young man, who is not as good as a weak man, is the leader of a group of yellow scarf bandits!

He is now the most ferocious ant thief in the world!

Every step the opponent takes is due to the lives and corpses of tens of millions of people!

Bu Wan'er didn't dare to approach him anymore, let alone look at him, even though Wang Zheng always behaved naturally, sincerely, and even...gentlely towards him.
To be continued...
