"Your Majesty, don't worry about trivial matters. Now that the war is urgent, let's talk about serious matters." Ye Ningyu was a little surprised that the King of Xiangyang could still make jokes for so long at this time.

It was obvious that he was here to deliver food, fodder and ordnance, but he had to act like a visitor.

When it came to business, King Xiangyang stopped smiling. "Are you really prepared to carry an army of 150,000 to your death?"

"If we have another way out, we won't be able to defeat many with a small number." King Yong sighed.

"I came here this time and brought 10,000 horses with me. I hope I can help you. As you know, the emperor's domain does not have many soldiers, and I have not raised any soldiers. I don't have any great ambitions. I live in the mountains and play the piano every day.

Asked. If you hadn't come here this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come out."

A look of joy appeared on King Yong's face, and he solemnly bowed to King Xiangyang. "It's always good to have 10,000 more people. Thank you, uncle!"

The King of Xiangyang pulled him up and said, "There is no need to be so polite between you and my uncle and nephew. You should check the food, grass and weapons first. I personally escorted them, so there should be no problem."

Although he said so, King Yong still acted very cautiously when it came to food and grass, and personally took King Xiangyang and Ye Ningyu to investigate the matter in the army.

After finishing all this work, it was already late at night.

"I have been in Yinzhou for the past two days and will not return to the vassal territory for now. If Liang Jun really comes, I can do my best." King Xiangyang's tone made King Yong feel at ease.

King Yong remembered that when he was a child, his little imperial uncle loved him very much. Every time King Yong saw King Xiangyang, he was more happy than seeing Emperor Yu.

However, King Xiangyang came to the north very early to establish a vassal state. When he left the capital city, King Yong was not many years old and did not remember much. He only vaguely remembered that he was very clingy.

Now that King Xiangyang treated him so well again, King Yong's gratitude was genuine.

"Thank you, uncle!"

"I said, you and my uncle and nephew don't have to say this."

On the fifteenth day agreed with Liang Guo, the messenger sent by King Yong back to Dadu had not returned yet, and he was very anxious.

Another spy came to report that Liang's army had been divided into four groups, each with about 20,000 troops, heading towards the four cities of Jinzhou, Jiading, Heishui and Xuning respectively.

And ten miles away from Yinzhou City, there are still 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses camping, waiting for tomorrow.

The atmosphere inside and outside Yinzhou City suddenly became tense, Liang Guolai was really coming.

"Now the other four cities each have only one general, and they are all former deputy generals. In addition, the troops are insufficient, and it is difficult to say whether the four cities can be defended." When discussing matters at King Yong's office, Shen Liang was full of worries.

There are many people discussing the matter today, including Ye Ningyu, Wu Wenmao, Zhang Guangda, Shen Liang, Yan Hua, King Xiangyang and Gu Yu, etc., are all here.

"Right now, we can't focus entirely on Yinzhou. The other four cities are extremely important, so it's better for Your Highness to make preparations early." The person who spoke was Yan Hua. What he said about making preparations early, they had discussed it a few days ago.

.

If the Liang State really attacks the other four cities, several people will lead troops to the four cities to support them.

However, before the Liang people actually took action, the Yu army in Yinzhou City would not easily move out. This was because it was not ruled out that the Liang people could use one move to divert the tiger away from the mountain, divert most of Yinzhou's troops, and then attack Yinzhou directly.

This is also the reason why the Yu army has not sent out to the four cities in advance these days.

Now, since Liang Jun has begun to dispatch, they should also be prepared.

Shen Liang knew the situation on the border best. He opened a map, which was densely covered with marks. "Now the general guarding Jiading is Liu Xu, Heishui is Zhang Fan, Xu Ning is Wang Meng, and Jinzhou has Wei Qishan." We are guarding it with Zhang Heng, but Jinzhou is also an important place, and we will definitely not be able to hold it with just the two of them and a few thousand troops."

"Several of our generals here will definitely go to support the other four cities. In your opinion, who would be more appropriate to go to Jinzhou?" King Yong looked at everyone.

"The last general is willing to lead troops to Jinzhou." Yan Hua was the first to stand up.

King Yong was noncommittal and looked at the others. His eyes specifically stayed on Ye Ningyu. However, Ye Ningyu did not speak.

"The general will be subject to His Highness's orders." Shen Liang also stood up and said.

Here, the only generals who can lead troops on expeditions and have actually led troops are Yan Hua and Shen Liang. But there are five cities, and if there are no roads, there must be a general.

This person cannot be reckless, let alone without a plan. Such a person is really hard to find.

The King of Xiangyang looked at everyone and said, "Miss Ye has also stayed in the military camp in Jinzhou many times before. Although she is now His Highness's military advisor, her strategic courage and military skills are not inferior to our commander in front of the battle. I think , Miss Ye can also lead troops to Jinzhou."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent. King Yong gave King Xiangyang a complicated look, still noncommittal.

After a long time, King Yong turned to look at Yan Hua and Shen Liang. "The situation in Jinzhou is very complicated. General Shen has been in the north for many years. If you want to get familiar with it, let General Shen go to Jinzhou."

After finishing speaking, before the two of them could answer, King Yong said again, "Jiading is the closest to Yinzhou, so General Yan went to help General Liu Xu in Jiading. If anything happens to Yinzhou, General Yan can come back as soon as possible to help me."

When Yan Hua heard what King Yong said, there was no reason not to agree, so he immediately agreed.

"This Black Water and Xu Ning..." King Yong felt worried.

"Your Highness, I am willing to lead the troops to Blackwater." Gu Yu's voice sounded.

"You haven't really led an army yet, so don't show off at this time." Shen Liang stood up immediately and pulled Gu Yu aside.

Gu Yu shook his head at Shen Liang, his face full of determination and pleading. "The general who defends Blackwater is General Zhang Fan, who was his father's deputy general. General Zhang has always been prudent and demanding. Although the last general has never really led an army, he can I swear, after arriving at Blackwater, General Zhang will take precedence in everything I do. I am willing to be General Zhang’s arm, advance and retreat with him, and fight against the enemy together!"

Gu Yu rarely showed such a resolute attitude in front of everyone, but everyone may think that he is too young and dare not take this risk.

"Your Highness, I think it is feasible for Captain Gu to assist General Zhang Fan during his trip."

Suddenly hearing a word of support for him, Gu Yu knew who it was without turning his head, because the speaker was the only woman in the room.

Gu Yu was a little flattered. He looked at Ye Ningyu with disbelief on his face.

A few days ago, when Gu Yu was listening to their discussion here, he accidentally mentioned that he was willing to work with Yan Hua to take the heads of enemy generals. At that time, Ye Ningyu stopped him without thinking.

Gu Yu thought that Ye Ningyu must be very disappointed with him because he acted too recklessly. Therefore, he tried to listen as much as possible these days without saying anything.

In desperation today, he volunteered to go to Blackwater. He thought Ye Ningyu would stop him, but he didn't expect that she was the first person in the room to support him.

Gu Yu's emotions were very complicated, and there was a hint of inexplicable meaning in his eyes when he looked at Ye Ningyu.

Ye Ningyu's words seemed to carry a lot of weight with King Yong. When Gu Yu said it just now, King Yong didn't take it seriously. Now that Ye Ningyu mentioned it, King Yong thought of Captain Gu, who had become famous in a battle a few days ago.

"Gu Yu is already known as the God of Killing among the Liang army. If he leads troops to Heishui to assist General Zhang, he may be able to help." King Yong finally thought about it and agreed to Gu Yu's proposal.
