Attaching to this trip means that the Western Turkic side does not need to be distracted for the time being, and Zhao Xu began to formulate a plan to counterattack the Eastern Turkic.

This time the Turkic coalition forces broke up and the morale of the army was unstable. It was a good time for a counterattack.The Eastern Turks seemed to be more eager to attack the city because of this.Zhao Xu ordered people to pour cold water on the city wall, so that the city wall would freeze in a short time during the severe winter.The Turkic soldiers climbing and attacking the city had no choice but to slide down over and over again.

However, defense alone is not the answer after all. At this time, it is time to go all out and go out of the city for a decisive battle.Otherwise, the counterattack will not stop for a long time, the morale will decline again and again, and the three will be exhausted, and it will be difficult to win in the end.

When Zhao Xu was in the army, he realized how boring the intrigues and machinations of the palace were. Now in the army, using soldiers as chess pieces and looking up to the world is where he can really indulge.

It was late at night, and Zhao Xu was still awake. He was thinking about who would be the vanguard in the first battle three days later.

Selfishly, he naturally wanted Jiang Yunya to be the vanguard.The chances of winning this battle are not small, and it is extremely important. For the generals who participated in the battle, it is definitely a very brilliant stroke in their military career, and their future careers will be bright.

However, although the brothers are talented in martial arts and have enough commanding ability, their official rank is not enough to convince others.If the two vanguard generals are not used, and one partial general is used, it is inevitable that everyone will have resentment.Zhao Xu was not afraid of what others would say about him using power for personal gain after he fought against all opinions and let his senior brother fight, but he was only worried about getting a bad reputation for his senior brother.

Gossip and gossip make money, Zhao Xu didn't know when he was afraid of it.Maybe it's just for senior brother, Zhao Xu didn't want him to be slandered by those villains.

Zhao Xu thought about it, and finally ruled out Jiang Yunya.In this way, only Xu Jingyan and Zhou Cangran were left.This should not have been thought of, Xu Jingyan has honed himself in the army for many years, and he deserves it in terms of qualifications and reputation.But Zhao Xu couldn't help thinking of Zhou Cangran all the time.

They should have a relationship like rival enemies, but Zhao Xu still thought of him.Maybe it was the bright and resolute eyes of that young man, which always shone with a dazzling light, very much like when he just came down the mountain.

In this army, perhaps he is the only one who disdains these disputes over power and numbers, and is wholeheartedly dedicated to destroying the captives and killing the enemy, and recovering the rivers and mountains.

Unfortunately, he is Zhou Ming's son.

This old fox can raise a good son. Zhao Xu felt a little envious, shook his head, sighed, and blew out the candle.

At the same time, Zhou Cangran did not rest in the camp of General Right Vanguard not far away.

At this time, the young and ambitious general had a gloomy face, and threw the letter tightly in his hand into the brazier and burned it.He should have thought a long time ago that his captain's father allowed him to fight in the front line because he wanted him to do things for him.

He doesn't like Zhao Xu, the Prince of Jin who is well-known in the capital looks gentle and polite, and loves the people like a son, but he is actually not a good thing.Those who sat in the courtroom, how many of them were hypocritical enough to say "Damn" in their hearts and "Okay" with their mouths.

But he didn't like Zhao Xu, and he didn't want to use insidious means to harm him secretly.A man acts upright and upright. If he wants to fight, he will bleed and sweat;

The veins on Zhou Cangran's forehead were tense, his face was ashen, he never thought that he would do such a thing.

...............

Zhou Cangran stayed up all night, and when he woke up the next day his eyes were red and he went to practice.The soldiers under him didn't know if the new general had eaten gunpowder in his gun today, which made them dare not raise their heads to speak all morning, and they all complained incessantly.Fortunately, when the disbandment was about to be disbanded, General Xu from the next-door army came over, otherwise they might have to go hungry and persist in the afternoon training.

"Oh, that's impressive!" Xu Jingyan couldn't help but feel a little chill when he saw the grateful eyes of the soldiers there.

I haven't felt the friendliness of the soldiers next door for a long time, no, never.Usually, the two armies are in a competitive relationship, and the exercises are both the enemy and the enemy.I was terrified to come to them by myself.

"Did you learn the skill of training them from your brother or from the Taiwei, it's very stylish..."

"Can you stop talking nonsense?" Zhou Cangran rolled his eyes at him, "What do you want from me?"

"I'm so rare to find you! I just came to tell you that on the [-]rd, you will be the vanguard when you leave the city for a decisive battle."

"..." Zhou Cangran was silent for a moment, then said, "What did you say?"

"Aren't you happy? Say it again, for the last time. Number three, you are the vanguard." Xu Jingyan sighed, thinking that this idiot's ears will not be good anytime soon.

Zhou Cangran looked at it but was not happy at all, and said word by word, "I don't need you to let me."

"Hey! Who let you go? It was Prince Jin who recommended you to go. Do you think I don't want to go? If the grandsons of the Eastern Turks see the young master's heroic appearance, they will definitely be scared to death, and they should surrender on the spot..." General Xu He was also quite aggrieved, babbling on and on, like the momentum of the Yangtze River, "Hey. What are you staying for? Do you hear me clearly? Well, I'm leaving, remember to get ready! You fool on Tuesday."

Rarely did Zhou Cangran not refute the idiot's statement, and walked away with a sullen face.

"...Eh, what happened to him today?" Xu Jingyan felt that it was abnormal for Zhou Cangran not to talk to him, so he asked a soldier from the Right Vanguard Army.

"Yes, it may be holding back." The soldier whispered.

"Ah... oh oh!"

The two were silent.
