Chapter 94 Military Intelligence

"Hahaha... General Chang spent a lot of money. Reading"

In the evening.

In the private room on the third floor of the hot pot shop, Liu Fu raised his glass to Chang Wei, with a very proud look on his face.

Chang Wei drank the wine in a depressed mood. After leaving Fushi Village during the day, they went to other villages.

Although Chen Hu had already understood, he was still very uncomfortable when facing the local soldiers who sometimes hid underground and sometimes appeared.

What's worse, they took a lot of time, and the local soldiers from nearby villages actually came to support.

It even formed a situation of more people fighting fewer.

Zhao Xu was also there. In addition to him, Chen Hu and other generals of the personal guards also came, and even Wang Ying came.

Back in Yancheng, Liu Fu asked Chang Wei to treat him to a taste of the hot pot shop, so Chang Wei came here despite the pain.

Zhao Xu felt that it was necessary to make a comprehensive deployment, so he called all the important officials and generals over.

In this way, three tables were seated in a noisy manner.

"This is just an exercise. If it is an actual battle, your losses will be even worse, because I have not yet handed over the weapons and armor to the local soldiers." Zhao Xu said seriously.

"What weapons are you going to give them?" Chang Wei asked.

"The armor is the same as yours, and there are crossbows."

Chang Wei and Chen Hu shook their heads and clicked their tongues when they heard it.

If these things are given to the local soldiers, their combat effectiveness can be greatly improved.

Especially the crossbow, which will really cause a large number of casualties to the enemy at that time.

"In addition, there is a secret weapon." Zhao Xu said proudly.

Wang Ying heard it and smiled without saying anything. He knew what it was.

Everyone else showed a curious look.

"What is it?" Chen Hu felt that he would have a nightmare when he went back to night.

"This is kept secret for the time being." Zhao Xu did not intend to say it now.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt an itch that was hard to scratch, but they stopped asking.

As they were talking, a guard outside the door walked in with a small bamboo tube in his hand.

After saying a few words to Xu Lie, Xu Lie handed the bamboo tube to Zhao Xu.

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu took the bamboo tube and pulled out the note. Seeing the content on it, Zhao Xu frowned.

This is the information sent by Yan Wei.

Xu Ke found that the person he followed last time appeared again and went to Zhang's house.

At the same time, there is also information about the grassland.

They found that the troops and horses on the grassland were suddenly mobilized frequently.

Putting away the note, Zhao Xu fell into deep thought.

The spies of Beidi came again, and at the same time, there was movement in the grassland.

This is probably not a coincidence.

Looking at everyone, he said: "This king just got the news that Beidi has made unusual movements recently. This is not good news."

"Beidi has made unusual movements?" Liu Fu frowned, "What do they want to do?"

"In addition to burning, killing and looting, what else can they do?" Chang Wei said coldly: "Your Highness, send out scouts to investigate frequently to avoid accidents."

Zhao Xu nodded.

He turned to Wang Ying, "Master Wang, when will the weapons and armor of the Wangfu's personal army be ready?"

"Within a month." Wang Ying said.

Zhao Xu looked at Liu Fu again, "During this period, you continue to go to the countryside to implement supervision and don't relax."

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Fu responded. This news made him nervous.

Finally, Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei: "New recruits should intensify training."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei clasped his fists.

After distributing the tasks, Zhao Xu drank with the others for a while.

Back to the palace, he immediately told Xu Ke to closely monitor the Beidi spy.

The next day.

Chang Wei sent out scouts to spy on the grassland. At the same time, Yanwei also had people enter the grassland as merchants to investigate the reasons for the Beidi's unusual movements.

A few days later, various intelligence was gathered in the palace.

Liu Fu, Chang Wei and he all judged a fact.

This time, the time of the Beidi autumn hunt seemed to be advanced.

In previous years, the Beidi basically went south in October or even November.

Because the autumn harvest had passed by then, the people had grain stored in their homes, which was a good time for looting.

It is only mid-August now. Even if Bei Di prepares for another month, it will only be September.

When everyone was confused about this.

A letter from Yanguan confirmed this fact again.

"General Mo said that the scouts they sent out found that there was something unusual in the Black Iron King's tent, so they sent cavalry deep into the grassland and captured several prisoners. From the prisoners, they learned that this year's autumn hunting was advanced. General Mo asked us to respond in advance. At the same time, they also informed the Yuan family and reported to the court."

In the meeting hall of the royal palace, Zhao Xu showed Mo Di's handwritten letter and said slowly.

"It seems that the news is correct." Liu Fu sighed, "What is coming has finally come."

Chang Wei's solemn expression was excited, "Beidi invaded Yanzhou every year, killing people and plundering everywhere. In the past, Yan County was a mess, and the people could only wait to be killed. Now how can they be so presumptuous? This time, even if I die on the battlefield, I will let them bite off a piece of meat."

Zhao Xu put the letter down.

Since waking up, Beidi has been like a dark cloud, always hovering in the sky of Yan County.

Now this dark cloud is finally falling.

In this battle, if he cannot defeat Beidi and wipe out the Zhang family, it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Yan County in the future.

But if he wins, his status and reputation will be greatly improved in both Yanzhou and the capital.

"Come on!" Zhao Xu slammed the table and stood up, "Now, this king has no way out, only to fight to the death."

Liu Fu and Chang Wei nodded.

Since they chose the King of Yan, they decided to go the same way with the King of Yan to the end.

After discussing some more things, the two of them went back.

Next.

Zhao Xu asked Xu Ke to keep an eye on the Zhang family and be ready to capture the Northern Di spies at any time, while secretly planning against the Zhang family's plan.

At the same time, he also kept an eye on the Armory and urged them to do so every three to five days.

A month later, the weapons and armor of the Armory were finally in place.

And this made him feel relieved.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

On the stage, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei inspected the royal guards.

Now, each of the royal guards had a set of bright armor.

Now, he was walking in front of them in a neat line.

The cavalry was in the front.

They had only been trained for less than two months, and they were still immature compared to the skilled cavalry.

But their faces were filled with high morale.

These cavalry, in front of them were 1,000 light cavalry wearing scale armor, and in the back were 500 heavy cavalry wearing plate armor and their horses were also equipped.

After the cavalry were the infantry holding spears, followed by the sword and shield soldiers.

They all wore plate armor that protected them to the teeth, and it was like a metal torrent passing by them.

The last ones were the crossbowmen.

These crossbowmen also wore plate armor, and they often only shot three arrows on the battlefield.

So after shooting the crossbow arrows, they would fight like ordinary soldiers.

The mighty army of 30,000 people passed slowly in front of them.

Looking at the majestic power in front of him, Zhao Xu's blood was boiling, "Wait, one day, you Beidi will not dare to cross Yanshan."
