Arranging Li Yong is just a strategy, and it may not necessarily be a battle, so why not take this opportunity to restrain her.

Xu Shu was embarrassed and said: "Is this, it's not impossible, but after joining the army, you must stay by Shu's side all the time, and you must not ask to go to the battlefield again." ”

Li Shu wanted to follow this time, there was a reason, but it was hard to explain, seeing that Xu Shu agreed, he hurriedly said: "Lord Xu, don't worry, Shu'er will definitely do it." ”

On the side, Li Yong watched the conversation between the two, thinking thoughtfully, and seeing that the two reached an agreement, he immediately took the order to stay aside.

As soon as Xu Shu made arrangements, he let the people disperse and immediately sent the news to the post station, so that they could be sent to Youbeiping urgently.

The post chief received the letter, hurriedly came to a remote room, knocked on the door and said, "There is an urgent battle report, please send it to Youbeiping." ”

When the door opened, a plain-looking man in his mid-forties poked his head out, with an ugly smile on his face, and nodded to take the battle report.

The post chief covered his nose, trying to cover up the fishy smell of animal feces on the man's body, and said quickly: "This battle report is urgent, please send it quickly." ”

"Ahhh The man whined a few words and patted his chest to show that he knew, so that the post chief could rest assured.

"Okay, then you hurry up." Seeing this, the post chief nodded and hurried away, the smell of this man's body was very strong, and he felt that he could not breathe for a while.

This is also normal, they have been training pigeons since they were found by Li Quan, and they have been raising pigeons for more than five years.

Li Huiyi felt that the news transmission was too slow, so he ordered Li Quan to train pigeons to transmit messages, thinking that it was simple, but he didn't expect that this animal was not as good as a human.

It has to stay in one place for a long time before it can get familiar with the environment, otherwise it will be released after a few months of cultivation, and as long as it is too far away, they will get lost and fly back.

Therefore, Li Huiyi did not use it for a long time, just waiting for these pigeons to mature and fly back from all over the country, so as to ensure that there would be no accidents during the war.

Most of these pigeon breeders are deaf and dumb, living in poverty and unable to make ends meet.

Li Quan found them and gave them a certain test, so he arranged positions for them, and let them learn to write, and gave them a monthly salary, which was also considered to give them a way to live.

The man closed the door, opened the battle report on the table, picked up the pen and ink on the side, and began to compare it with it, copying it word by word, and after each one, he would carefully check it several times to confirm that there was no source, because he did not know the meaning of these words.

It was only a few dozen words, and the man wrote ten letters, and about an hour passed, then picked up the papers, opened the back door, and entered the messy courtyard.

Although there was not much pigeon droppings in the courtyard, the smell was still very pungent, but the man did not stop walking as if he had not smelled it.

After walking a few steps, several large wooden cages appeared in front of me, hundreds of pigeons were locked in wooden cages, and there were place names written on them, which seemed to be cleaned every day, although there was a smell but no dirt.

The man took out three of them in order, stuffed them into the bamboo tubes on the pigeon's feet one by one, and released them.

In the end, two were carefully selected from the wooden cage in Beiping, stuffed into the paper and released, and watched the pigeons go away, the man picked up the food and sprinkled it into the wooden cage, looked at the pigeons competing for food, and showed a satisfied smile on his face.

There was a flying pigeon to send a message, and Li Huiyi received the news much faster, and when he learned of the big move of Er Yuan and Cao Cao, he immediately summoned Jia Xu to stay behind to discuss countermeasures.

Li Huiyi had thought of this, but what he didn't expect was that Cao Cao would be able to persuade the forces of Xiliang to send troops, and the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xiliang should not be underestimated.

If you don't do it, you can disrupt the whole game, and if the battle is not successful, then you will have to wait years if you want to start it again.

If the losses are heavy, will it fall into passivity, it may be like after Cao Cao's Chibi, and he will not be able to enter the Central Plains again in his lifetime.

Closing the door, Li Huiyi couldn't wait to say: "Wenhe, Xiliang sent 200,000 troops, Ma Chao, Han Sui, and the Qiang tribe have all sent troops, I'm afraid the situation on Cao Cao's side will fall into passivity." ”

Jia Xu was originally from Xiliang, and when he heard that Xiliang sent troops, he was also curious, but he also knew how many troops Xiliang could take.

Jia Xu replied: "My lord, Xiliang is thin and sparsely populated, even if you add the Qiang people, it is impossible to send 200,000 troops, unless they don't want Xiliang." ”

Ma Chao, Han Sui and others, even if they obey Cao Cao's orders, it is impossible to make a lone bet, they must leave soldiers and horses to guard, otherwise even if they win, they will be homeless, which can be thought of by as long as a normal person is a normal person.

When Li Huiyi heard the news, he was also shocked for a while, so he forgot to think about it.

After thinking for a while, Li Huiyi said: "But even if there are not so many, there must still be 100,000, and this 100,000 will take 50,000 horses to deal with it, otherwise there is only passive defense." ”

Originally, Li Huiyi's soldiers and horses gathered in Yecheng were less than 100,000, if it was facing Cao Cao, it would definitely have an advantage, but this sudden increase of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses could only be said to be passive and passive, as long as he attacked, he might be surrounded by Cao Cao's opportunity.

At that time, Cao Cao came to a siege point to send reinforcements, but he was afraid that the battle situation would fall into a stalemate, and the two sides would fight a war of attrition, and Li Huiyi would undoubtedly lose, because the number of people would not be advantageous.

Moreover, most of the cavalry in Xiliang came and went like the wind, and even if Li Huiyi's soldiers were elite, they could not face the cavalry to rush and kill, and the ancient cavalry ran to kill the gods.

Jia Xu frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "The bell must be tied to the bell, why don't the lord send people to the Qianqiang clan and let them send troops to raid Han Sui, Ma Chao and others." ”

"Huh?" Li Huiyi's heart moved, if he could really convince him, the Xiliang army would definitely have no will to fight, and he was worried that his family wanted to return, but the Qiang people had promised Cao Cao, could this convince them?

Li Huiyi asked tentatively: "I'm afraid this Qiang tribe will not be easily moved, after all, it is far away from the north, and it will not be able to threaten them, nor will it be able to give them substantial benefits." ”

Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "If the lord believes it, he can let Xu go on a trip, and this matter will definitely be successful." ”

Since Jia Xu came to the north, Li Huiyi has not let him out, after all, this person is meticulous and vicious, and it is difficult to guess clearly, if he escapes, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Now that there is a big war imminent, Li Huiyi is still at a disadvantage, and if Jia Xu leaves to seek refuge in others, I am afraid that it will make matters worse.

Seeing Li Huiyi's hesitation, Jia Xu knew what he meant, and said: "I need to ask the lord for Yanyun's eighteen horsemen to use them to deter the Qiang people and protect their own safety. ”

Jia Xu's move had two purposes, one was to reassure Li Huiyi, with Yanyun's eighteen horsemen following, it was not so easy for him to escape.
