Under the command of Er Zhu Xianzhong, the open space around Wufeng Post quickly turned into a military camp.
The post station was also protected by the entire military camp in the middle.
The soldiers were building tents and stables.
A small stable was built next to each tent, and the war horses were tied.
In the small stable, if something happens, the soldiers can quickly get their horses from the tent.
On the outskirts of the military camp, a large number of soldiers are digging horse pits with their sidearms to prevent the enemy's cavalry from raiding.
If there are no female relatives, of course they don't have to arrange it like this.
Even if there is an enemy, they can quickly gather their horses and form a formation to attack the enemy.
However, there are several princesses and a large number of palace ladies and eunuchs in the accompanying team.
Once an enemy attacks, they must buy enough time for the female relatives to evacuate to a safe area.
The trap is used to delay time.
Gu Qianzhi waved his sleeves and walked to Er Zhu Xianzhong with a smile: "General, do you need to be so careful?
Although this place is located in a desolate place in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, the governance and suppression over the years have made the horse bandits extinct.
It should be There will be no enemies coming."
Er Zhu Xianzhong took off his helmet, his hair was already wet with sweat.
He turned his head and glanced at Gu Qianzhi, and said seriously: "Many people have learned military tactics, marching formations and formations from the Holy King.
I am one of them, but I have I know that my qualifications are not very high.
I have followed the Holy King in all these years and have only learned one thing.
The ability is not to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.
His Royal Highness the Holy King told me that if your qualifications are not good, you can only fly first.
You first do what you can and can do, and do not miss any flaws.
Even if The enemy general has the wisdom of Zhuge Liang and the power of heaven.
He will not be able to get an advantage from me in a short time."
Gu Qianzhi looked at Er Zhu Xianzhong speechlessly and muttered in his heart, this is indeed an impeccable stupid method and a good method.
A simple and honest person like Er Zhu Xianzhong can only learn the art of war and tactics in this way.
This guy leads the troops to fight.
There is no conspiracy or conspiracy at that time.
I always like to be upright and aboveboard.
I am honest, cautious and rarely make mistakes.
No wonder this guy has always been trusted and reused by the Holy King.
Sure enough, loyal people are still very popular.
Gu Qianzhi put away his emotion and said to Er Zhu Xianzhong: "General, the Holy King asked me to tell you that the soldiers have been marching hard these days.
I will give the soldiers an extra meal tonight.
I bought it in Yizhou last time.
There are still a lot of sheep, let’s kill them all, we will go to Jinchang Guazhou in a few days, and then we will go to the market to buy a batch.”
Er Zhu Xianzhong smiled and clasped his fists and agreed: "That's alright, the Holy King shows sympathy to the soldiers, and I can only repay the death by swearing to death."
After Gu Qianzhi left, Er Zhu Xianzhong waved to the captain behind him.
The captain stepped forward and cupped his fists, saying: "General" At this time, Er Zhu Xianzhong was standing on the top of a mountain in Wufeng, observing the surrounding terrain.
He ordered the captain: "Send sentries to the other four seals to explore the terrain and enemy situation to see if there are any enemy soldiers hiding.
If not, Map out the surrounding terrain, and send secret sentries to lurk on the tops of the mountains to observe and warn.
Once the enemy is discovered, immediately use fireworks to warn."
The captain was surprised and said: "General, is it really necessary to be so careful?"
Er Zhu Xianzhong suddenly turned his head when he heard this, stared at the captain like a tiger and a wolf, and said coldly: "What did you say just now that you didn't hear what I said clearly?
You haven't fought for several years.
Are you too lazy to move your bones?"

The lieutenant quickly clasped his fists and said, "General, calm down.
The lieutenant will personally take people over to investigate and arrange secret sentries for security."
"Wait a minute, let the secret guards bring an extra piece of clothing.
It's cold at night.
Also, I'll have people deliver extra food to you tonight.
Let the brothers have enough to eat and drink.
Cheer up, don't make mistakes, don't relax. , once something happens, it will be a huge disaster, and no one can bear the responsibility, do you understand?"
After hearing this, the captain put away his arrogance.
Indeed, once something happens, it is by no means a trivial matter.
If it is investigated, it will be a serious crime of beheading.
You can't even run away.
The vastness of this world is all in Where can I go under the rule of the Holy King?
"Yes, general, the junior high school will definitely keep an eye on the brothers and never dare to neglect them."
Over the years, Er Zhu Xianzhong has always led troops to protect Zhao Ziliang, and he has never made a mistake.
This is due to his meticulousness from beginning to end, never slacking off at any time, and being strict in everything he does.
Of course, there are disadvantages in doing this, and it can easily cause resentment and complaints among the soldiers, but there is no way to solve it.
Er Zhu Xianzhong did a good job in this, which not only allowed the soldiers to resolutely execute the orders and complete them to the letter, but also There will be no complaints or complaints.
The soldiers were very fast, and the camp was quickly set up.
The horse traps and warning tasks were also quickly deployed.
After Er Zhu Xianzhong received the reports from his generals, he immediately came to the post station to prepare to report to Zhao Ziliang.
At the door of the post station, he met Zhao Bei.
Zhao Bei is the commander of the Dragon Guard Army.
He is responsible for internal security, while Er Zhu Xianzhong is responsible for external security.
Both of them have guard duties, but their division of labor is different.
When Zhao Bei saw Erzhu Xianzhong, he smiled and clasped his fists and said: "General Erzhu, it's done outside."
"Well, I came here to report to the Holy King."
Er Zhu Xianzhong nodded.
Zhao Bei waved to let the soldiers guarding the gate of the post station pass, and said to Er Zhu Xianzhong: "Let's go together."
Zhao Ziliang nodded after listening to Zhao Bei and Er Zhu Xianzhong's arrangements for night deployment and vigilance, but he was still a little uneasy because he had a frightening feeling since he entered the inn.
With his skill reaching his level, he could already rely on instinct to sense Many dangers, although Although he has not fought against the enemy for many years as his status has improved, this has not reduced his awareness of crisis, nor has it weakened his instinctive perception of crisis.
On the contrary, as his skills become more and more powerful, Deep enough, he had begun to touch traces of it.
Zhao Ziliang was silent for a moment and said to the two of them: "I have a hunch that tonight may be an uneasy night.
Generals, please be more vigilant."
The expressions of Zhao Bei and Er Zhu Xianzhong changed and they looked at each other.
Then Er Zhu Xianzhong clasped his fists and asked, "Holy King, have you noticed anything wrong?"
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "I haven't felt that there are murderous intentions all around since I entered Wufeng Station alone.
You two have also been veterans on the battlefield for many years, and you also have a certain instinctive sense of crisis.
If you don't feel it, it means that you have an instinctive sense of crisis.
It’s not too strong yet, which means the enemy is well hidden, or the danger is still too far away from here.”
Zhao Bei looked stern, clasped his fists at Zhao Ziliang and said: "Holy King, there are only this inn and the inn next door around here.
I will immediately lead people to kill everyone in the inn next door.
I would rather kill the wrong person than let go, and stifle the crisis.
"In the cradle" Er Zhu Xianzhong immediately said: "General Zhao, your responsibility is to protect the safety of the Holy King and his ladies.
It should be me who does this."
Zhao Ziliang was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and waved: "The butcher knife in your hands is not meant for innocent people.

The inn next door is so big.
How many people can it hold?
Even if they are all highly skilled in martial arts, they can withstand thousands of troops in your hands."
Ten Thousand Horses" Zhao Bei pondered for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "It's already dark now.
It's inconvenient to leave overnight.
It's also easy to be ambushed at night.
It's better to send someone to Jinchang overnight to ask for help."
Zhao Ziliang glanced at Zhao Bei and scolded: "I think the longer you stay alone, the more courageous you become.
There are nearly 5,000 elite soldiers here including the supply camp, and you still have to send people there."
You are not afraid of being laughed at when moving rescue troops, but you are afraid of being laughed at."
Zhao Bei's mouth moved, but he did not defend himself in the end.
Zhao Ziliang squinted his eyes and walked back and forth in the room several times with his hands behind his back, then stood still and said, "Be more vigilant and stay the same to cope with any changes."
The two could only clasp their fists and say: "Yes" After coming out of Zhao Ziliang's room, Zhao Bei sent someone to find Li Zongwu and asked: "You led people to check this place before, and you are sure there is no problem."
Du Zongwu said: "General, although I am a rough guy, how can I be careless about things like this?
The inn is so big.
I have already looked through it with my brothers and found nothing abnormal."
Zhao Bei frowned, pondered for a while and then ordered: "Take someone to check again.
Even if there is a problem, at least we must ensure that there is no problem with the post station we guard.
Do you understand?"
"yes" Half an hour later, Du Zongwu went to Zhao Bei and reported: "General, I led people to conduct a careful inspection again, and found nothing unusual."
Zhao Bei thought for a while and ordered: "Tonight, the sentry has been doubled.
You and I will take turns to be on duty.
You will guard the first half of the night, and I will guard the second half of the night.
Send the order.
During the duty, no one is allowed to desert or doze off.
In violation of regulations, no one is allowed to desert or doze off.
All officers and soldiers who are not on duty while engaged in military law are not allowed to remove their armor, and their swords must not be removed from their bodies."
Du Zongwu didn't ask any more questions, but clasped his fists and agreed: "I understand."
After midnight, the guard posts and patrols inside and outside the inn were changed.
Suddenly, a vague smell wafted out from the utility room of the inn.
This smell was fragrant and spread very quickly.
After a person inhaled it, he would lose consciousness within a few breaths.
At first, some of the guards standing guard near the utility room fell down one after another.
Some were leaning against the wall, some were on pillars, and some fell directly to the ground.
By the time other guards and patrols found out, it was already too late. , this aroma spread so quickly that the guards were fainted one after another.
As the sounds of weapons falling to the ground and people falling to the ground were heard, Zhao Bei and several Dragon Guard soldiers who were guarding the door of Zhao Ziliang's house immediately noticed something was wrong.
Zhao Bei immediately shouted: "There are assassins, escort, escort" Just after shouting, several Dragon Guard soldiers around him fell to the ground, and Zhao Bei also smelled a pungent aroma, and immediately felt dizzy.
He was shocked: "No, you are so domineering.
"Fragrant" At this critical moment, Zhao Bei immediately drew his knife and swiped it on the inside of his left arm.
The leather armor and clothes were instantly cut open, as well as his arm.
A stinging pain was sent to his brain, and his brain instantly became clearer. .
At this moment, a large group of men in black rushed out from the utility room.
Each of these men was holding a repeating crossbow.
They aimed at Zhao Bei who was standing at the door of Zhao Ziliang's room and started firing arrows, "swish, swish, swish":
