"So under the same conditions, the elite army will even overwhelm those elites. Therefore, this is a rare place for learning."

"This is a rare learning opportunity. You can feel the atmosphere here. You can also ask Zhao He for advice. Zhao He has a good impression of us now. As long as what you ask is not too secret, he will not hide anything. .”

Xue Rengui listened carefully to Shen Lian's words, nodded and said: "The general will know."

Shen Lian smiled and said no more.

Xue Rengui is very smart and loves to learn. He is young now and is like a sponge, able to absorb a lot of things.

As a person with potential, at this time, you should first find ways to enrich yourself.

Then when you have learned enough, throw out the useless or questionable things.

Then useful things are newly received in the mind and become one's own abilities.

This is the rapid growth method formulated by Shen Lian for Xue Rengui.

This is also the way he has been helping Xue Rengui overtly and covertly.

Soon, they arrived in front of the Chinese army's tent, and led their soldiers and said: "Master Shen, General Xue, and Commander Zhao are waiting for you two in the tent. You two can enter directly."

Shen Lian thanked him and walked in with Xue Rengui.

As soon as we entered, we smelled some extremely fragrant smells.

Shen Lian smiled and said: "It seems that we are in good luck."

Zhao He laughed, stood up, and said with cupped hands: "Master Shen is right, this is a big eagle that I shot two days ago. As the saying goes, the most delicious thing is what swims in the water and flies in the sky. It just so happens that Master Qin and General Xue, it is better to rush it early than to rush it wisely. Today I will have someone stew it directly and we can taste the game together."

Shen Lian smiled and said: "With delicious food in front of me, I won't be polite to Commander Zhao."

Xue Rengui also smiled and said: "Master Shen knows that I am the most greedy person. I really have a good taste today. I have eaten more in a while. I hope General Zhao will not draw his sword to chop me."

After listening to Xue Rengui's words, Zhao He only felt that it was to his taste.

He laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, it's enough!"

Everyone quickly took their seats.

They chatted while eating delicious food.

After a while, Shen Lian said: "General Zhao, you have been stationed here, and you must know Nanzhao very well. When we first arrived, we were blind, so we hope General Zhao can introduce us to the situation in Nanzhao. .”

Xue Rengui also said: "I was young and it was my first time to lead an army on an expedition. I was really nervous. But after meeting Brother Zhao, I immediately felt at ease."

"Because I know that I have met a noble person. Mr. Zhao is here and can definitely help me a lot."

"So I hope Mr. Zhao can clear up our doubts."

When Zhao He heard what the two said, he felt comfortable in his heart.

The general is straightforward, but he also likes to hear good things.

Especially since Xue Rengui, who had a higher status than himself, was so sincere this time, he was even happier.

Shen Lian looked at Xue Rengui with a smile and nodded slightly.

Xue Rengui is indeed very smart. As soon as he taught him how to behave, he started to apply it vividly.

A few words are enough to make the big brother Zhao He feel his heart out.

Xue Rengui's change made Shen Lian very happy.

After Zhao He heard Xue Rengui's words, he started talking non-stop, hiding nothing.

He said: "General Xue has asked the right person. I have been here for several years and have had many conflicts with Nanzhao. I was also worried that Nanzhao would attack us in the Tang Dynasty, so I secretly sent people to Nanzhao to understand the situation."

"In short, I promise that when it comes to understanding Nanzhao, I would say second, no one would dare to say first."

Xue Rengui was also very happy when he heard this.

He said: "Please give me some advice from General Zhao."

Zhao He said: "Nanzhao's national power is not very strong. In my estimation, it is about the same as Tuyuhun. Compared with Tubo, it is probably incomparable."

"The total strength of Nanzhao's national troops is only 600,000. This includes all their troops, including the guards of the imperial city and palace."

"No matter how much...it can't exceed 600,000."

"Of course... this is Nanzhao's sign for new recruits. If they are forcibly signed to join the army, I don't know how many people there will be."

"But even if new soldiers are forcibly recruited, they are still new soldiers after all, and they will have little fighting power within a year or two. So your next enemy will mainly be the 600,000-strong army."

Xue Rengui nodded slightly.

The main army of 600,000 people may also have new recruits with new signs, but the new recruits are not strong in combat ability, so you don't need to worry too much.

Without the support of the Beidou Society, this is Nanzhao's full strength.

He quickly remembered this information in his heart, and then continued to ask: "What about the others?"

Zhao He continued: "Your first battle will be in Xin'an City as expected."

"This Xin'an City is the closest military fortress in Nanzhao. It has also confronted us. This city is not large in area. It can only house hundreds of thousands of troops at most."

"But the walls of this city are quite high, so it may be a little difficult to attack next."

"but……"

Zhao He said proudly: "I can give you a suggestion, which may help you reduce many casualties."

Shen Lian and Xue Rengui were moved in their hearts.

Xue Rengui asked hurriedly: "Please give me some advice from General Zhao."

Zhao He picked up the wine glass, took a sip happily, and said: "There was an earthquake in the north of Xin'an City in the past, which caused part of the city wall to collapse. Although they repaired it later, it is still different from the original city wall. In comparison, the gap is still very large.”

"Not to mention the thickness, it is incomparable. Nanzhao was relatively rich before, but in recent years it has become extremely poor. There is not enough money to repair the city wall. Moreover, the guards of Xin'an City were also secretly greedy, and finally As a result, the city wall there is a little weaker than other city walls."

"And it was patched later. It has not been patched up yet. There are some cracks in the original city wall. Once it is hit hard..."

He chuckled and said, "I think maybe we can just knock it away."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It would be interesting if we could open this hole during the siege, don't you think?"

Shen Lian and Xue Rengui's eyes lit up.

This information was unknown to both Qin Wenyuan and Xue Rengui.

Even if it was Shen Lian, even if his eyes were good, he might not have thought that there were huge problems with the walls of Xin'an City when he first saw them.

He looked at Xue Rengui, who hurriedly said: "Is the source of General Zhao's information reliable?"

Zhao He smiled and said: "I treat you as brothers, so naturally I won't tell you anything I'm not sure about."

"After all, this is about my brother's life and death. How can I talk nonsense?"

"Don't worry, this news is absolutely reliable. I have blocked Nanzhao here for many years, and I still have these skills."

When Shen Lian and Xue Rengui saw Zhao He being so confident, their hearts became lively.

If Xin'an City really has this loophole, it would really be a great thing for them.

Shen Lian said to Xue Rengui: "How is it? These bottles of wine are not in vain, are they? Are the few good words said in vain?"

A few bottles of wine and a few nice words.

Just got such important information.

value!

It’s really worth it!

Shen Lian struck while the iron was hot and directly asked for paper and pen, and then drew a simple city wall. He said: "General Zhao, the approximate location of the problematic place you mentioned, you can mark it for us. It will save you money." When the time comes, it will be dark in front of us and it will be difficult to find it.”

When Zhao He heard this, he smiled and said: "Master Shen is still careful. If we are careless warriors, we will only remember that there is a problem with the city wall, and then we will be dumbfounded. The city wall is so big, if there is any problem, we will still have to suffer. I'm going to look for it."

Shen Lian smiled and said: "General Zhao also knows my duties. I am responsible for solving crimes, so naturally I pay special attention to some details."

Zhao He laughed: "I have listened to Master Shen's legendary deeds over and over again too many times. I admire smart people like Master Shen."

"So Mr. Qin doesn't have to be modest. Mr. Shen is awesome in my heart. There's nothing to say about it."

As he spoke, he picked up a pen and drew a circle on the paper, and said: "It's probably at this location, and there are some differences in color between the newly repaired parts of their city wall and the old city wall. If it is daytime, it is easier to see it. .”

"But at night, the light is not very good, so it's not easy to spot."

Shen Lian nodded slightly and wrote down these words.

Zhao He might have said it casually.

But Shen Lian knew that this was extremely important information. Once a war actually started, just such a sentence might save thousands or even tens of thousands of people from dying.

He folded the paper and carefully put it in his arms.

Then he picked up the wine glass and drank a glass of wine with Zhao He.

The atmosphere suddenly became more enthusiastic.

Shen Lian and Xue Rengui learned a lot about Nanzhao from Zhao He, including some strange anecdotes and some noteworthy enemies.

Zhao He is not as organized as Shen Lian, he basically talks about what comes to mind.

Fortunately, Shen Lian had already made a list of the things he wanted to ask in his mind, so even though Zhao Hedong said one sentence after another, under his guidance, he said everything he wanted to know.
