Fang Zhuan attached great importance to the secret passage mentioned by Du Yuan'er. On the city gate tower, he spread out a nearby map and asked Du Yuan'er to identify where the exits of the secret passage were. Fang Zhuan was stunned by this identification.

Taking a breath, the exit of the most spacious secret passage is actually close to the military camp twenty miles outside the city, and the location of the exit is close to the Qinglian River. Most of the merchants who built this secret passage relied on it to evade Ling'an border tax.

Speaking of this border tax, the tax collection point of Ling'an Country is before entering Xiling County. There is a dedicated tax collection checkpoint blocking the road, and the road is divided into two to separate the entrance and exit. In Xiling County, it belongs to the border

In addition to taxes, the purpose of this secret tunnel is very large. The tax savings can be enough to build seven or eight such secret tunnels every year.

After learning that there were so many secret passages and that there were several wide secret passages, Fang Zhuan had some ideas for the defensive counterattack in Xiling County. After discussing with Pengchi for half a day, he finally decided on several plans. As for using that

There is a plan to meet the enemy, but it still depends on how the enemy fights.

The days passed quickly. On the tenth day of April, there was a big change outside Xiling County. The once desolate place where the four countries met, half of the place near Jinqi Country was filled with people. It is said that if the number of people exceeds 10,000, there will be no bounds.

Now that there are half a million enemy troops, it is even more impossible to see the edge.

Fang Zhuan stood on the new city wall that had just been reinforced for two days, looking out of the city with a telescope. There were no camps in the field of vision, only arrays of soldiers. The ones at the front were all infantry, mostly with swords, shields and spears. The cavalry should be

It's still behind, and as for their general's camp, it can't be seen through the telescope at all.

The camp of the commander of Jin Qiguo's 500,000-strong army had just been set up at this time. As the commander-in-chief and the emperor's brother-in-law, Wu Wuta walked in very happily. Ever since Bai Qiufan became the emperor, he had grown up from a young general all the way.

Yan Zhishang reached the position of commander-in-chief of the army, and this time he joined forces with Xingsha to attack Ling'an, and he was the commander-in-chief.

"Here comes someone! Fifteen steps away from the big tent, set up another tent. It's a little smaller. The losers from Xingsha haven't arrived yet. I'll set up a tent for them first to show my sincerity in the alliance." In the big tent, there was already lying down.

Wu Wuta, who was lying on a piece of animal skin, narrowed his eyes and ordered his servants to do their work. After a pause, he said, "Call Tan Ma. Don't just inquire about the distance of the Xingsha army. Let them urge them one by one. They will be marching in five days."

We've entered Ling'an, but we haven't come here to join forces yet!"

"I will send someone to inform Tanma right now!" A strong man with a strong back and a strong back almost had to lower his head to enter the tent, and he beat his chest at Wu Wu Tao.

"Oh~ don't go. For such a thing, just call a soldier. Come and hang up the map. Calculate how many days we can reach Ling'an 500 miles." In fact, Wu Wuta didn't know much about military affairs.

They don't understand that his position depends entirely on his queen sister, otherwise, at this time, he would be a rich man working in the mines.

The general who was left behind by Wu Wutao was his deputy general, named Sa Qikuo. Every time there was any military matter, it was almost this deputy general who made suggestions. Wu Wutao just checked repeatedly and if there was no problem, he would

He turned the deputy general's words into his own orders and issued them to the army one by one.

"Kuo! How do you think we can fight faster! Uh... it's the safest thing. Before leaving, the emperor repeatedly warned that the people in Ling'an should be beaten so that no one would dare to fight again!

"Because Wu Wuda didn't understand, he quickly asked while no other generals came to the tent.

Faced with Wu Wuda's ignorance, Sa Qikkuo hated him deeply. There were even a few times when he came up with good ideas that could lead to promotion, but they were all taken over by Wu Wata, so that he is still just a general. At this time, Wu Wata

When asked, Saqikuo did not answer directly. He stared at the map he had just hung and pondered. If Saqikuo was leading the army in the war, there would be many strategies. But looking at Wu Wuta who was taking away his glory, Saqikuo

He wanted not to answer, but Wu Wutao asked again: "Don't you claim to be both civil and military? Why, now that such a big thing is happening, you only show off your strong body and bones, and your brain is not enough?"

Hearing the humiliation, Saqikuo was ready to trick Wu Wutao and make him suffer some losses. He pointed at the map and said: "There is no need for any strategy, just attack directly. The people in Ling'an are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they have no power to fight with him."

When our army fights, if the commander-in-chief wants both safety and speed, then all half a million troops will press against the city wall. I believe that when the people in Ling'an see the momentum of our army, they will be frightened and flee! In this way, not only will the number of soldiers be reduced, but

The damage, and according to what the emperor said, is enough to make the people of Ling'an lose the courage to fight again."

After Wu Wutao heard this, he sat up slightly and said, "Press them all toward the city wall? No, no, no! Leave five thousand soldiers to protect me. You can lead the others to attack the city. You must scare them out of fear! Haha!"

Beside the map, Sa Qikkuo looked sideways at Wu Wuda, who was full of pride, as if he had already won the victory. He imagined that all the credit for the attack on Ling'an would be taken away by Wu Wata.

Full of killing intent, even now it's like twisting Wu Wuta's neck. Unfortunately, the idea is good. Even if Wu Wuta is killed, all the credit will still not be his, and he will also have to face the Queen's death.

and the sanctions imposed by Jin Qiguo’s laws.

Sa Qikuo, who was thinking, was about to say something more when a soldier suddenly rushed in from outside the tent and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief that the Xingsha Kingdom's 200,000 troops have arrived five miles outside the camp."

"Wuli? Isn't that why we haven't arrived yet? Tell them to hurry up! This commander-in-chief has already figured out how to attack Ling'an!"

"Uh... back to the commander, Xingsha Kingdom seems to have camped five miles away." The soldier who didn't dare to raise his head said non-no. Everyone knew that the commander had a bad temper. If he looked up, he would be remembered by the commander.

If you look like this, not only will you be unlucky this time, but you won't have a good life in the future.

The soldier's logic sounds absurd, but it actually happened. It is said that one time the commander-in-chief Wu Wutao was having fun and was glanced up by a common soldier. Not only was he beaten on the spot, but Wu Wutao was also beaten every time after that.

Anyone who sees it will receive a beating, so things will be spread quickly. Whenever there is something bad to report, you must not raise your head to let Wu Wuta see it, otherwise, you will be unlucky for the rest of your life.

"Camp? Are you looking down on me? Go! Send my order to them to camp with us! I will be waiting for them in the tent to discuss matters!" After Wu Wata finished speaking, he picked up a square-mouthed wine glass next to him.

After smashing it, the soldier ran fast and barely avoided the flying heavy metal.

After a while, a soldier reported outside the big tent: "Commander Qi, the commander-in-chief of Xingsha Kingdom, refused to camp in one place, saying... that it is not safe to gather together!"

"Is it unsafe?" Wu Wuta said, looking at Saqikou beside him, "Is it unsafe?"

"Come back to the Commander-in-Chief, how could it be unsafe to face Ling'an Kingdom?" Saqikuo answered without even thinking. This was not because he deliberately deceived Wu Wutao, but because he looked down on Ling'an Kingdom's army from the bottom of his heart.

, at this time, those who saw the army approaching and did not run away were the only ones among a hundred.
