"The wind breaks the flag, and it is a sign of great danger. This is a sign of great danger. This battle is not good for our army and we should not move forward." A veteran of the team sighed when he saw this strange phenomenon with many years of experience.

People have the mentality of good things, and the veteran's words spread through Junxun, which aroused everyone's complaints.

Kang Huaizhen was furious when he heard this and ordered the soldiers to execute the veteran on charges of disrupting the morale of the army, saying, "The army should work together, and if there are any evil words to deceive the public, this person will be your end."

Under the threat of Kang Huaizhen, the troops gradually approached Weizhou City in the wind and sand.

After the Liang army won a great victory, Zhu Wen was going south. In this way, Kang Huaizhen led tens of thousands of troops to start to advance, but the army did not expect the situation to suddenly reverse, and there was insufficient food and grass, which led to a very slow march. The 30,000 Khitan troops behind him were even slower and fell far away when they saw that the Liang army was so slow. They had to burn, kill and loot after passing by the village. Behind the Khitan army was the army led by Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen was preparing to show his strength this time, but his army was not many, except for the 50,000 of the chief general Kang Huaizhen.

In addition to the troops, he had less than 30,000. So Zhu Wen expanded his army a lot along the way, and when he met fleeing people, he would join the team. In just one month, he expanded to 100,000 people. The people here would not fight anything, but just send out a weapon to deal with the matter. Fortunately, the Tang army had confiscated tens of thousands of weapons in the previous period, so there would be no situation of using wooden sticks as weapons. The military rations could not keep up, and three meals a day could only be reduced to one meal a day. Of course, this refers to those refugees, and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command had no shortage of food and clothing.

Weizhou was once a vassal state. The commander of the army was named Weibo Jiedushi. Under the rule of several Jiedushi, after more than half a year of development, although it is not as solid as a rock. All kinds of weapons guarding the city emit cold light on the top of the city, which is daunting.

The Liang army marched very slowly, so Xu Wen and others arrived one step earlier than Kang Huaizhen. When they arrived, there was almost no scene of Liang army besieging the city. Weizhou's main defense was the Liang State. Not long after Zhu Wen sent troops, Xu Wen got the news.

"General Xu, Zhu Wen actually dared to come out in full swing and lead an army of 180,000. He was really impatient. Aren't he afraid that Li Cunxu, the King of Jin in Hedong, sent troops to plagiarize his retreat?" Ge Congzhou said to Xu Wen.

"This is exactly what I don't understand. It is understandable that Zhu Wen is so hasty for his ambition, but Kang Huaizhen cannot not know the danger of doing so. Just because he wants to block the offensive of Hedong's army and horses by more than 10,000 soldiers in Yanggu Pass want to block the offensive of Hedong's army. This is simply impossible. Once Yanggu Pass is broken by Li Cunxu, the Zhenzhou will inevitably be out of protection. Zhu Wen will be a dog with a family and will not have a place to live." Xu Wen frowned.

"Maybe Zhu Wen was confused. General Xu, should you report the news of Zhu Wen's attack? " Fang Zong, the governor of Songzhou behind him, asked.

Xu Wen nodded and said, "Of course you have to report this matter to Your Majesty, otherwise where will I place Your Majesty? But General Fang doesn't have to worry too much. He has sent his military information to Luoyang a month ago. Moreover, he will send a military information every three days to ensure that Your Majesty can accurately judge the specific changes in the situation ahead."

"General Xu is really a talented person." The generals who were leaving the seat were all led by Xu Wen at this moment. The generals now completely convinced Xu Wen. In terms of courage, Xu Wen was not as good as Wang Yanzhang, nor as good as his son Xu Jing. In terms of military training, Xu Wen was not as good as the ranks of troops, and in terms of military deployment, Xu Wen was not as good as the ranks of the house. However, Xu Wen was best at analyzing the situation and commanding and dispatching. More importantly, the old man's strength was to defend the city. Thinking back to the time, why Tian Lingzi could not chew on Xu Wen's hard bone under Shouchun City, Yang Xingmi was suspicious of Xu Wen, which made Shouchun City beaten by Duan Mingyu.

After pausing, Xu Wen continued, "We will send scouts to inquire about the movements of Zhu Wen's army in the past two days. According to detailed information, Kang Huaizhen led 50,000 vanguards out of Liang three days ago, so we must know their movements."

"Don't worry, General Xu, I have sent out the scouts. I will come back to report the news immediately when there is news. However, today the wind and sand are very strong, which is not conducive to the advance of the army. I think Kang Huaizhen's army may not be able to camp where to camp." Shang Rang said with a smile.

"It is better to pay more attention. I would rather spend more time than ensure absolute safety. I won't talk about the wind and sand today. From tomorrow on, the entry and exit of Weizhou City will be doubled to prevent enemy spies from hiking in. Since the important task of defending Weizhou City is on my shoulders, I must be careful to do it so that I can be worthy of the people of Weizhou." Xu Wen said in a deep voice.

"General Xu is really a competent general. I will make arrangements for the last one." Shang Rang said in admiration.

At the same time, five miles away from Weizhou City, Kang Huaizhen led his people to finally arrive outside the city in the wind and sand. After finding a place to camp with a leeward, Kang Huaizhen led more than a dozen cavalry to come to the gate to find out the news.

Looking at the city from afar, I saw figures on the city constantly flickering, obviously not relaxing because of the strong wind and sand.

After watching for a long time, Kang Huaizhen frowned and said, "Xu Wen is really extraordinary. He is very strict in the military management. We have no opportunity to take advantage of it. If you want to win this battle, you must use a strange strategy. If you want to make a strong contribution, you will be difficult, difficult, difficult..."

"I wonder if my father has a plan?" Kang Sheng asked.

Kang Huaizhen shook his head when he heard this, and his eyebrows were frowned.

"Faeba" At this moment, a farmer drove a large flock of sheep passing by, and more than a dozen sheep ran around, but the farmer only held one of its rams with his hands, and all the sheep followed closely behind the farmer.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Kang Huaizhen's eyes began to shrink, and his heart seemed to have realized that the ram was obviously the leader of the flock of sheep. As long as the farmer enslaved it, all the sheep would be obedient. If Weizhou City is compared to the flock of sheep, then Xu Wen is the leader of Weizhou. As long as he dies, Weizhou will be in chaos. His side may be able to take Weizhou City without any effort.

"Capture the king first!" Kang Huaizhen narrowed his eyes and murmured in a low voice, then his eyes suddenly opened, as if he had made up some decision and led everyone back to the camp one after another.

"Sheng'er, I'm going to think of a plan to break the city." After returning to the camp, Kang Huaizhen stroked his beard with his right hand.
