"What are we fighting for? Is it to defend the city? Wrong, think like this, we are just drawing the ground as a prison:" Li Tong said confidently: "Originally, as a magistrate, it is the responsibility to defend the land, but let's think about it from another angle, is the city important, or the army is important, of course the army is important, the city is lost, we can take it back, the army is finished, there will be no way for a while!" ”

If Duan Ye is here, he will definitely applaud Li Tong, these words are simple, in the words of Grandpa Mao in later generations, it is called "the annihilation of the enemy's living force is the main, not as good as the gains and losses of one city and one place", but these simple words are the blood and lives of countless sages and martyrs, and they are the supreme military thoughts, and even if many people have learned this, they will not apply it in actual combat at all.

Li Tong's remarks were of course unanimously approved, and Li Tong, who was greatly pleased, continued: "So, I mean, holding Zhangye is beneficial to the enemy, but not to me, giving up Zhangye, the enemy is bound to divide his troops to guard, and our army can be combined in one place, this is the first, second, we can retreat in great strides, and engage the enemy in the terrain that is favorable to me and unfavorable to the enemy, third, without the city, their giant trebuchets will have no use, and completely become ordinary warfare, fourth, The enemy's morale is extremely high in successive battles, but the extremes of things must be reversed, if they take Zhangye without blood, they are bound to be arrogant, and the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, the current situation, defend Zhangye, our army will be defeated, give up Zhangye, strategic contraction, our army still has a chance, you talk about it! ”

Li Tong's words were reasonable, well-organized, and clearly stated, so everyone agreed, only Suo Pan said with some doubts: "Now that Zhangye has passed, there is almost no danger to defend, if we retreat again, won't we expose Gu Zang to the enemy's sword!" ”

"No, retreat, there is still a place to defend, and there, we have every chance to give Lu Guang some color!" Li Tong said with a smile.

"Where!"

"Hong Chiling!" Li Tongyi said word for word.

Hongchi Ridge is now the Wusheling Ridge, is an important demarcation line of the whole Chinese land, Hongchi Ridge looks at Longdong in the east, drives the river west in the west, is the place where the soldiers have always fought for, the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty passes from here, winds to the west, and now Hongchi Ridge is still about the pass, there are also soldiers stationed, if the army retreats, according to the mountain to defend the city, it can indeed block for a while.

Suo Pan listened and felt reasonable, so he nodded in agreement.

"Good!" Li Tong saw that everyone had no opinions, and said happily: "Everyone, since this is the case, we will start preparing immediately, don't bring any baggage or anything, Anmen City and Guancheng in Hongchiling now also have grain and grass, and we have to be willing to give up the jars and jars in times of crisis, talent is the most important thing, we will start tonight and withdraw from the army overnight!" ”

"Yes!" The generals agreed with a bang, and even Yao Hao smiled, looking at it, there was still a lot of hope in Liangzhou.

Just do it, Li Tong is a man of action, and he implements it very well, because Li Tong said that for the speed of the march, everything can be sacrificed, and everything can be ignored, so for the seriously injured soldiers, they will all stay in Zhangye City, because taking them is nothing more than adding trouble, and because Zhangye is a peaceful abandonment, I think Lu Guang will not endanger them, at the very moment, even if Yao Hao has objections, but he does not insist, after all, those are basically Yao Hao's soldiers, so that once eliminated, his strength will be greatly weakened.

In addition, Li Tong also played a trick, he sent his henchman Li Xi to see Lu Guang, and all the excitement started from this Li Xi.

It is said that Lu Guang was very happy for a few days after taking Jiuquan City and defeating Liang Yin, and several counties below Zhangye County were quickly won, which made Lu Guang very excited, and just when Lu Guang was about to go to Zhangye County in person, Li Xi appeared.

Li Xi's identity is the envoy of the Metropolitan Governor Yao Hao, of course, he is not here to persuade surrender, but to demonstrate.

Lü Guang personally received him in the barracks, because the other generals had their own tasks, so only Lü Su and Duan Ye were accompanied, of course, this is Lü Guang, according to Lü Su's proposition, at this time, he still talked about a bird, and if he wanted to talk, he would talk about it when he went to Guzang City.

This Li Xi really had a little courage, came in and looked at Lu Guang, he was not afraid, he didn't take Lu Guang seriously at all, and said with a big stab: "You are Lu Guang!" ”

Lu Guang almost didn't faint, in this era, it is impolite to call someone by his name, unless it is an elder to a junior, a superior to a subordinate who is not very close, or a person who has no words at all, Lu Guang was born a nobleman, and the people he has interacted with since he was a child are all children of wealthy families, and the superiors also value Lu Guang very much, even when he was young, he rarely called him by his name, and now he is actually shouted by such a person who looks a little older than Duan Ye, Lu Guang's first reaction is not anger, It's dizziness.

Lu Su didn't speak so well, he immediately roared angrily: "How can this be reasonable, you are so rude!" As he spoke, the knife came to his neck.

Li Xi was really a little arrogant, looked at the angry Lu Su, and said quite hardly: "Why, is it difficult to become a dignified governor of the Western Expeditionary Army, not called Lu Guang!" ”

"Hehehehehe!" Lu Guang smiled, smiled very happily, he hadn't seen such an interesting young man for many years, he motioned to Lu Guang to put down the knife, and asked with a smile: "Young man, you are really Yao Hao's messenger, okay, I don't care about you juniors, you can tell me, what are you doing this time!" ”

"The next battle book!" Li Xi said loudly with a stiff neck.

"Oh!" Lu Guang looked at Duan Ye, who was speechless, with great interest, and said with a smile: "Where is the war book!" ”

"Look!" Li Xi took out a secret letter stamped with fire paint from his arms, there is no need to worry about terrorist attacks or anything in this era, so Lu Guang also took the letter directly from Duan Ye and opened it.

The letter is actually very simple, so simple that there are not a few sentences in total, and it is not at all like Lu Guang imagined that he had scolded himself for a long time.

"Yao Hao, the governor of Liangzhou's Western Expedition, the traitor Lu Guang, now the Liangzhou soldiers are full of food, and the army is gathered, although there is a small victory, it is not enough to be ashamed, if you surrender as soon as possible, you can still save the heirs, otherwise please fight with our army and Zhangye within two days, and fight it out!"

This letter of demonstration, or the war letter, is not written at all, basically in the vernacular, if you use this to spread the world, it is estimated that the scholars who can read and write will shake their heads when they read it, what kind of persuasive power can such a letter be, there is no heroic passion at all, you have to "move the sound of the class and the north wind rises, the sword is rushing and the south is flat" to give strength, at least you have to show your own strength.

Lu Guang is not a special person, so Lu Guang's reaction to this is to laugh, the tears of laughter are down, it has been a long time Du Mi has been so happy, he really can't believe it, he has been defeated like a mountain, it seems that the people who are exhausted actually dare to take the initiative to seek war, take the initiative to seek war, the war book can still be written in such a way, what is the battle in two days, do you have to really break your brains?

In order to share the music with others, Lu Guang also handed the letter to Lu Su, and after reading it, Lu Su looked at Li Xi who was holding his hands and was contented, and he didn't know what to say.

To say that just now, Li Xi was so disrespectful to his father, Lu Su was very angry, and he wanted to let this kid's blood splash five steps immediately, but he handed over such a letter, which only made Lu Su feel ridiculous, although Liang Yin was killed before, but at that time, he really fought a real battle, and that battle could not be said to be not tragic, Liang Yin's performance was also remarkable, if it wasn't for Duan Ye's timely rebellion against Peng Feng and the sudden appearance of Bald Hair Si Fu, even if Lu Jun could win, I am afraid that he would not win so easily.

But Yao Hao, who took over as the governor of the capital. Although his ability is far inferior to Liang Yin, I heard in the past that this person is also a capable official, how can he be so ...... It's so funny.

Lu Su, who shook his head again and again, showed the letter to Duan Ye, and after reading it, Duan Ye just smiled slightly and said, "Li Xi, is this written by Yao Hao?" ”

"That's nature!" Li Xi proudly stiffened his neck: "Most of my family governors are wise and martial, and they are full of Changhong, and only a character like him can write such a majestic war book, what, you are also afraid!" ”

"Hahaha......" Lu Guang couldn't help but laugh again, his stomach hurt a little, he really wanted to reward this lovely messenger, and brought such good materials to his perennial boring military camp life in an instant, this matter must have made Lu Guang reminisce for a long time and be happy for a long time.

Duan Ye also smiled: "Then since this is the case, you have come to write this war letter, you are going to make an appointment with us!" ”

"Not bad!" Li Xi pouted disdainfully: "You fight, or don't fight, Zhangyecheng is there, you have a seed, you can fight, but I think you probably don't have a seed!" ”

Duan Ye didn't do it anymore, and finally burst out with irrepressible laughter, this sentence really poked Duan Ye's laughter.

Even people like Duan Ye, who were a little serious and boring, laughed, could Lu Guang and Lu Su still hold back? So at this time, except for those dutiful guards who didn't dare to laugh, the three of them all laughed, and Li Xi, who had been holding a serious face, was extraordinary, or he didn't laugh.

"Alright, alright!" Lu Guang is the boss in the end, and he can't pay too little attention to his image, he hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and Lu Guang smiled: "Then, your letter has also been delivered, and I also know your request for an appointment, so be it!" ”

"So do you agree or not to our covenant?" Li Xi was a little uneasy, and asked.

"We promise, or we don't, this battle is all there, we can't fight it!" Duan Ye answered at the right time, and once again made Lu Guang, who was so easy to hold back his laughter, "poof", and Lu Su pursed his mouth hard, and even his face turned red.

In these days, being funny is a technical job, and it is not easy for anyone.
