Chapter 734: The central army is divided and the vanguard is reinforced!
In the following days, the Liangshan group began to make intensive preparations for sending out troops.

Fifteen thousand elite soldiers were carefully selected, each of them can be regarded as a veteran of the battlefield, and most importantly, they can run fast!
Once they saw that the situation was not good, they would run away immediately and then use the navy trained by Zhang Shun and others to cover their retreat.

At the same time, they also asked Zhu Wen and Jiang Xiaobai for a large amount of equipment and supplies, including sharp swords, sturdy armor, powerful bows and arrows, and sufficient gunpowder weapons.

Although Zhu Wen and Jiang Xiaobai were dissatisfied, they knew that this was a necessary condition for Liangshan to send troops, so they could only grit their teeth and agree. However, they were secretly thinking about how to make Liangshan consume more strength in future battles.

At the same time, Jiang Xiaobai and others on the other side also began to prepare and were busy.

He has now gathered a mighty army of 50,000 elite soldiers under his command. These soldiers are all treasures in the hands of the major aristocratic families in Wuzhou. Each of them is fully armed and in high spirits, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed, showing its edge.

Jiang Xiaobai stood on the platform, his eyes sharp as torches, scanning the soldiers below the stage, feeling secretly proud in his heart.

Now, this army formed by many aristocratic families in Wuzhou is not only a symbol of his current status, but also the capital for him to compete for supremacy in the troubled times in the future.

"Tian Ji!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked down and suddenly shouted loudly, with a hint of anticipation in his voice.

A figure with a burly build and a resolute face, who looked like a skilled general, responded. It was Tian Ji under Jiang Xiaobai's command!
Jiang Xiaobai had placed high hopes on him before and had always kept him as a secret weapon.

Now, it's his time to shine!

"The general is here!"

Tian Ji bowed and spoke in a loud voice.

"I'm going to give you 30,000 elite soldiers. Do you have the confidence to lead them well?"

Jiang Xiaobai asked, with a hint of temptation in his eyes.

"My lord, rest assured, I will fulfill my mission!"

Tian Ji smiled slightly and said confidently.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, secretly approving in his heart, then turned to look at Sun Bin beside him. This famous military strategist from the Warring States Period was standing there quietly at this moment, his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

"Bo Ling, I'd like to trouble you to temporarily serve as Ziqi's military advisor this time. You must lend him a helping hand."

Jiang Xiaobai said hopefully to Sun Bin who was sitting below him.

Sun Bin took a step forward, bowed and accepted the order with a calm expression, and had no objection.

When he played chess with Tian Ji before, he got along well with him, and the two of them cooperated very well.

"Listen carefully, both of you. Our primary goal in this battle is to deplete Wu Qi's army."

"Although the Liangshan faction is quite powerful, they are ultimately just our pawns. You must make the most of them, let them charge into battle, and deplete Wu Qi's strength."

"If the situation becomes hopeless after the main force of the Hengzhou army arrives, you two can abandon the Liangshan army and let them cover the rear!"

Seeing that Sun Bin had no objection, Jiang Xiaobai's voice suddenly became serious.

Upon hearing this, Tian Ji and Sun Bin were both startled, then looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

Neither of them is a pedantic person. In these troubled times, preserving strength is the most important thing.

As for the Liangshan Army, they are just chess pieces in their hands. If used well, they may play an unexpected role.

"Don't worry, my lord. We know what to do."

Tian Ji said this with a cupped hand, his tone quite confident.

"My lord is wise. We must act with caution." Sun Bin also stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Tian Ji and Sun Bin in front of him, feeling very satisfied.

With these two people around, his plan will be able to be implemented smoothly. As for those Liangshan troops?

They were originally meant to be cannon fodder. It would be best if they could consume Wu Qi's army. If not, then it would be their bad luck!

At this time, when Xue Rengui's central army was slowly advancing towards Wuzhou in an orderly manner, there seemed to be a hint of unusual breath in the spring breeze.

Xue Rengui was sitting in the central army tent, discussing the marching route and possible enemy situations with Zhuge Kunlong.

Suddenly, a messenger hurried into the tent, holding a wax-sealed letter in his hand, on which a spider pattern was clearly visible.

"Master Xue, urgent message from Luowang!"

There was a hint of urgency in the messenger's voice as he handed the letter over with both hands.

Xue Rengui took the letter, frowned slightly, and thought to himself that Luowang was the main intelligence network under his lord, so the letter at this time must be important.

He quickly opened the envelope and read through it quickly, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"The situation in Wuzhou has changed. Wu Qi's vanguard is under pressure. The Duke of Zhenguo, Su Ye, has sent reinforcements. He ordered my central army to divide 20,000 troops and send them to support immediately. The remaining troops will be dealt with after the reinforcements arrive."

Xue Rengui took the letter, opened it and frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed. A look of understanding flashed in his eyes and he read softly.

"In that case, General Wu Qi is under a lot of pressure."

"Master Xue, how should we deploy?"

Zhuge Kunlong took the letter and after reading it carefully, he couldn't help but look worried.

Upon hearing this, all the generals looked solemn, but Xue Rengui's expression was unusually calm, as if he had already expected this situation.

"Don't worry, everyone. The lord has his own considerations. General Wu Qi is also a capable fighter. This time, we are just giving him a bigger stage."

"Although General Wu Qi has just arrived, he has extraordinary talents and strategies, and the lord intends to cultivate him, so we should give him our full support."

Xue Rengui glanced at the generals who were worried, and spoke softly to comfort them.

"Kunlong, select 20,000 soldiers and pick the best ones. Have them set out immediately and rush to the vanguard army as quickly as possible to help General Wu Qi."

As he spoke, he turned and looked at Zhuge Kunlong beside him.

Zhuge Kunlong nodded in agreement, then turned around to arrange the troop deployment.

Xue Rengui stood at the entrance of the tent, looking at the dust rolling in from afar, and sighed inwardly, hoping that the battle would go smoothly and that General Wu Qi would live up to his lord's expectations and pacify Wuzhou as soon as possible.

"My fellow soldiers, the battle in Wuzhou is urgent right now. As soldiers under the lord's command, we should bravely take the lead and serve the lord."

"On this trip, you must obey General Wu Qi's orders and overcome this difficult time together!"

Soon, 20,000 elite soldiers were ready to go. Xue Rengui, wearing a white robe and holding a Fang Tian Ji, stood in front of the horse, his eyes as sharp as torches, scanning every soldier.

The soldiers responded in unison, their voices shook the earth and their morale was high.

Following the orders from the captains, the 20,000-strong army set out quickly like an arrow from a bow, galloping towards the direction of the vanguard army.
