"The prince's personal army plus county soldiers, the current number of troops in Yan County is 33,000. The king deployed 8,000 of them in Wu'an County, Yishui County and Zhu County 2,500 each."

"The three counties in the south are relatively safe, so I give you a total of 5,000 people, two counties and two thousand people, and the last county is one thousand people, and ten thousand people left in Yancheng."

Zhao Xu held a thin bamboo pole and tapped on the Yanjun map.

"There are 15,000 people left in Yancheng. Your Highness, this is too dangerous." Liu Fu was surprised. "Yancheng has so few troops. If Beidi knew about it, they would definitely attack with all their strength."

"What I want is to attract them to Yancheng." Zhao Xu snorted coldly.

Since he learned about the plan of the Zhang family and Beidi, he naturally had to cooperate with them.

In the past, every time the Northern Di hunted in autumn, he plundered from the north to the south.

Every county in Yan County has to be attacked.

After the city was broken, the people, food, gold and silver all flew away.

Now he has released heavy troops to these counties. Bei Di Ruo and the previous years will continue to chew, so he will have to lose a few teeth.

When you arrive in Yancheng, you will suffer a great loss of troops, and this ten thousand people will be enough.

Of course, the best situation for him was that Beidi gave up attacking these county towns and directly threw all his troops into Yancheng.

In this way, Yan County will suffer minimal losses.

Moreover, the Zhang family and Bei Di were secretly colluding. After learning about his troops deployment, Yancheng was even more tempting for them.

In this way, the Beidi people could successfully get into his trap.

"It's just your highness's safety..." Liu Fu swallowed with difficulty.

Zhao Xu smiled, "You are okay in charge of government, but you will be a layman in war. Even if Yancheng is surrounded, the personal army of the royal palace in your county can come to support you. At that time, Beidi was also uncomfortable to be attacked from both sides, and if the enemy situation changes, it will be adjusted at any time."

The county magistrates knew what they said, but they still didn't understand why Yancheng left so few troops.

However, others didn't understand, but Liu Fu quickly figured it out.

He knew that the Zhang family was connected with the Beidi people, so he was worried about Yancheng.

But judging from the confident look of King Yan, I am afraid that he has made plans in secret.

Immediately, he said, "Your Highness, what do the county magistrates need to do?"

Zhao Xu's eyes swept over the seven people, "You must cooperate with the soldiers of the royal palace's personal army, organize the people and soldiers to guard the county town, transport food and grass, and take care of the wounded."

In his opinion, this confrontation with the Beidi people requires a general mobilization of the entire Yan County.

Now the layout of the countryside has been improved, and the county town has also taken action.

"Yes, Your Highness." The county magistrates understood.

During this autumn hunt, the King of Yan was determined to fight against the people of Beidi, rather than choosing to escape like the former nobles and officials.

Of course, they must work together with the royal palace, both officials and the people.

"There are rural soldiers in the countryside, and the county soldiers in your county town are county soldiers. You can choose young and strong people as their roles. At that time, they will be distributed to them and they will be uniformly obeyed the command of the generals of their own army. Their main function is to bluff..." Zhao Xu explained to the county magistrates.

There is no way he can adopt special tactics in the countryside.

Because the countryside is not as protected by city walls as the county town.

If you want to escape into the mountains, the people will not be able to take away too much food, and if you are discovered, you will still be slaughtered.

This happens not once or twice.

Only then did he decide to take the method of letting the countryside join the war.

The weapons and equipment given to them are also good, after all, they are in the field.

As for the county town, it is protected by the royal family.

He only planned to use the old weapons and equipment in the warehouse for the county soldiers.

The war will only be allowed to go to the palace unless the personal soldiers of the royal palace have finished fighting.

Therefore, Zhao Xu has no high requirements for them.

After all, to that level, Yan County will definitely be finished, and he will be finished too.

After discussing with the county magistrates, Zhao Xu asked them to go back and prepare.

This is just a temporary deployment, and we must make specific responses based on the situation of Beidi.

Of course, the biggest benefit for Zhao Xu this time was that they strengthened their determination.

This is very important in war.

"Your Highness, General Chang is here." Feng'er entered the study and said.

Zhao Xu nodded. Chang Wei was much busier than him these two days.

He needs to deal with all the affairs of the personal military in the royal family.

"Your Highness, the military information just arrived, Beidi dispatched 30,000 cavalry this time, most of which remained in the tent of the king." Chang Wei said.

"Thirty thousand cavalry?" Zhao Xu pondered, "How many people came last year?"

"I heard there were 20,000 people." Chang Wei said.

"It seems that the 10,000 more people came for me." Zhao Xu smiled.

However, unlike the minion army, the 30,000 cavalry of Beidi this time were real Beidi people.

The Servant Army was just a prisoner of war. The Beidi conquered a place and was composed of young and strong people who were forced to conquer a place. Their combat power was much different from that of the real Beidi people.

According to his understanding, in every war, the Beidi cavalry was elite cavalry, and the dismount was also powerful infantry.

Chang Wei sneered, "If these 30,000 cavalry only galloped, we have no choice, but if they attack Yancheng, they will make the wrong plan."

After pausing, he said, "The prince's personal army is not the waste of the Yuan family."

"You can despise the enemy strategically, but you must pay attention to the enemy tactically." Zhao Xu reminded Chang Wei.

This guy has been a little inflated since the entire army changed into clothes, and his confidence has surpassed the imperial guards.

Of course, Zhao Xu also has this confidence, but it is impossible to underestimate the enemy.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei recalled Zhao Xu's words, and thought it made sense. He secretly wrote down this sentence and took it back to scold the generals below him.

Zhao Xu pushed the map in front of him, "The county magistrates have just arrived. Now the Beidi army has no need to be adjusted. It is enough to leave 15,000 people in Yancheng."

Chang Wei thought to himself that King Yan had just said that he should pay attention to the enemy in tactical terms, so he would only leave 15,000 people.

Hearing this, he wanted to say it, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhao Xu saw that Chang Wei was thinking, just like Liu Fu, they were all concerned about their own safety.

He said, "You are here just in time and take you to see a new weapon."

"New weapon?" Chang Wei was stunned.

Zhao Xu closed the drawings, and regardless of Chang Wei's doubts, he took him directly to the Military Affairs Office.

When he saw Wang Ying, Zhao Xu gave him a look.

Wang Ying knew it and took the two of them to the yard.

The three stopped in front of a pile of flour-like things.

"Is this a new weapon?" Chang Wei was stunned.

Wang Ying smiled and said nothing when he saw Chang Wei's appearance.

Zhao Xu said: "This thing is called quicklime. It feels burning when you enter the eyes. You can only wash it with oil. If you wash it with water, your eyes will be burned blind."

After saying that, Zhao Xu drank a bowl of water and sprinkled it on the quicklime, which immediately smoked.

"Try it." Zhao Xu said to Chang Wei.

Chang Wei squatted down, touched it with his hand, and immediately retracted his hand. This thing was very hot.

"Your Highness is going to use this to deal with the people of Beidi?" Chang Wei had already imagined how to use this thing.

I thought this move was poisonous, but it was very practical.

But when it comes to poison, the Beidi people are even more poisonous. Their arrows have been soaked in feces.
