Lingzhou.

The Zhou army was stationed outside the city for many days, but they dared not launch an attack.

They have been preparing all kinds of siege equipment, and have begun to fill in the ravines outside the city.

But they have been busy for half a month, but they still refuse to officially launch an attack.

Hu Luxian stood on the city wall, looking at the army still busy in the distance, and couldn't help but yawn.

He rubbed his forehead and looked at the lieutenant aside casually.

"How long have they been preparing?"

"Seventeen days."

"Okay, I've heard that Yuchi Jong was cautious in using his troops. He was indeed cautious. He prepared for seventeen days. Could it be that he was planning to build a thousand carts to flatten the city?"

Hearing Hu Luxian's question, the surrounding lieutenants couldn't help laughing.

They couldn't tell that this was a taunt from their own general.

Hu Luxian flexed his muscles and then said, "Come on, get my precious bow!"

The lieutenant hurriedly put a big bow into Hulvxian's hand. Hulvxian asked someone to take out paper, pen and ink, write something, and then fixed the note on the arrow.

After doing this, Hu Luxian raised his big bow and pointed it at the enemy troops who were busy in the distance. With Hu Luxian's exertion, the big bow was filled up little by little.

The big bow looked extremely hard. Veins popped up on Hu Luxian's arms. He gritted his teeth and his shoulders were shaking vaguely.

"Puff!!!"

Then there was a sound and the arrow flew out.

"Kapye~~"

The enemy's command flag set up in front was actually shot straight down. The Zhou troops on the left and right were panicked, yelled loudly in fright, and ran away rolling and crawling.

The soldiers applauded one after another.

Hu Lvxian's face was full of pride and he said with a smile: "This is the treasure bow given by my brother!!"

Hu Luguang's reputation could easily overwhelm his equally outstanding younger brother.

Hu Lvxian and Hu Luguang grew up together. Their martial arts skills were equally matched, but Hu Lvxian was just a little behind.

Not much different.

However, Hu Luguang is equally good at commanding. He seems reckless and inoperable. Compared with Duan Shao and others, Hu Luguang can beat them just in terms of commanding.

Hu Luxian’s strength lies in his character.

The two brothers have similar looks and similar bodies, but their personalities are completely different.

Hu Luguang looks very calm. He doesn't talk much at ordinary times. He is silent and restrained, but he can easily get upset. He is quite arrogant and irritable. He is either slandering his own people or his enemies. He is either being chased or on the way to behead someone. Of course, beheading

There are more people.

As for Hu Luxian, he talks a lot on weekdays and seems to be arrogant and unruly, but in fact he is extremely cautious and calm.

In Lingzhou, Hu Luxian was the general and Gao Changgong was the governor.

The Han Dynasty inherited the military government system of the Zhou Dynasty. The generals and governors had different powers. The generals who opened the government had military power.

But there was no food and grass, and no administrative power. The governor had administrative power, but no military power...\n. Logically speaking, Gao Changgong should be sitting in the rear and Hu Luxian leading the troops.

However, Gao Changgong hoped that Hu Luguang would sit in the rear and take charge of major events, and he would lead the cavalry to fight. If it were Hu Luguang, he would never agree to it. Even if he had a fight with Gao Changgong, he would have to do it himself.

Go to.

But Hu Luxian was different. He was actually very talkative and had general knowledge. He knew that Gao Changgong was better at attacking enemies than he was, so he immediately agreed to him without any rebuttal, which made Gao Changgong feel a little embarrassed.

Hu Lvxian likes to fight positional warfare. He likes to continuously strengthen the defense line, and then gradually advance the defense line. Along the defense line, he cultivates farmland, drinks water for irrigation, and pushes while fighting.

He is indeed more suitable to take charge of one side than Hu Luguang.

The brothers' outward appearance was very deceptive.

Under the city wall, the soldiers picked up the letter sent by Hu Lvxian and sent it all the way to the military camp.

Inside the general's camp, Yuchi Jiong was discussing countermeasures with Wei Xiaokuan and Yu Wenxian.

As the war progressed, the contradictions between the generals became more and more obvious. Yuchijiong followed Wei Xiaokuan's suggestion and divided the generals in the rear, while he only took Wei Xiaokuan and Yu Wenxian to defeat the enemy.

Unlike other generals, these two men were still willing to obey Yuchi's command.

There was deep sadness between Wei Chi's brows.

Before going on the expedition, he never imagined that this battle would be so bad.

With the most elite military commanders outside the capital, and with so many famous and fierce generals...:.In the end, there was no advancement, not even a garrison town was captured.

Yuchi Jong didn't even know how he should go back to see the emperor.

This old face was completely lost on the Lingzhou front line.

If I had known earlier, I might as well have taken the few people under my control to go on an expedition with Wei Xiaokuan!

Yuchi Jiong said helplessly: "Gao Changgong is in our rear, constantly attacking various armies and plundering food and grass. The rear area is frequently in emergency. Under such circumstances, we cannot attack the city at all. Once Gao Changgong seizes the opportunity, he will take advantage of our siege.

We will be flanked by the troops in the city during the break, and I'm afraid something big will happen."

"Wei Gong, you have been here for a long time and know Gao Changgong quite well. Do you have any strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Wei Xiaokuan pursed his lips.

Defeat the enemy???

He wrote to the emperor very early, feeling that it was impossible to defeat the enemy from Lingzhou and that he should go to Heluo.

But the emperor had his own ideas. He listened to other people's strategies and insisted on starting a war in the north.

Now ask me what strategy I have to defeat the enemy?

If there is a strategy to defeat the enemy, why do you still need to come here?

Wei Xiaokuan finally felt a little angry in his heart. When Yu Wenhu was sent to the throne, he suggested going north, but Yuwen Hu insisted on going to Heluo. Now he suggested going to Heluo, but the emperor insisted on going north.

Can't these people just listen to what the frontline generals have to say?

Wei Xiaokuan felt a little disappointed with the temple for the first time.

Of course he also knew why the emperor would rather listen to some idiots than listen to himself.::

The reason was the same as Yu Wenhu's at the beginning, just because he was the former subordinate of a certain big shot who couldn't be named in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

We have been loyal for so many years, why should we be treated like this?

Wei Xiaokuan's face turned ugly little by little.

"Mr. Xun Guo?"

"Gong Yun??"

Wei Xiaokuan suddenly woke up and looked to the side. Yu Wenxian was looking at him worriedly. Yu Wenxian quickly asked: "Are you okay??"

Seeing Yu Wenxian's more sincere eyes, the anger in Wei Xiaokuan's heart dissipated a little.

"It's okay, I'm just a little confused thinking about countermeasures."

Yuchi Jiong looked around and whispered: "If Duke Yun has any idea, just tell him."

"I shouldn't have said more at first, but I'd better tell it to make Duke Yun feel at ease."

"Your Majesty has issued an edict to deal with Quan Jingxuan."

"Quan Jingxuan blatantly disobeyed military orders and did not arrive at the battlefield at the specified time, resulting in the defeat of the army. More than 5,000 people were killed, six generals were killed, and Duke Deng was seriously injured...\nYour Majesty is furious!!"

"Removed his general position...\n'

The smile on Wei Xiaokuan's face gradually solidified.

"Removed from office? That title...\n..

Yu Chijiong shook his head, "After all, he is a famous general who has made many contributions. Don't worry, he will not come out to harm others in the future. He can retire at home with his current title."

Wei Xiaokuan slowly clenched his fists, revealing his strong white teeth.

"Your Majesty is truly kind-hearted."

"Tell me, Lord Yun, what else can you do?"

"No."

"I'm stupid and can't think of anything else."

Wei Xiaokuan shook his head gently, his eyes no longer worried.

Yu Wenxian vaguely noticed something, but did not rush to speak.

While the three of them were discussing, a soldier delivered a letter.

Yuchijiong opened the letter, read it once, and sneered.

"The way to inspire generals."

"Hu Lvxian insulted me in the letter and wanted me to attack...\n.\n. I think Gao Changgong is nearby, waiting for us to start the siege."

"Gong Guo Yun, if we can't get rid of these men of Gao Changgong, we won't be able to attack the city with all our strength!

"right."
