Meng Kai finally left, and walked away, and when he left, his face was 10 years old.

But when he was leaving, he still dropped a sentence: "Duan Ye, we are not finished!" ”

This sentence, Duan Ping truthfully conveyed to Duan Ye, of course, the complacent Duan Ye didn't care, where would he care about such a nerd at this time? But in fact, if everything could be done all over again, Duan Ye would choose to keep this Meng Kai, because in the years to come, Meng Kai made rapid progress, which brought endless trouble to Duan Ye.

In addition, there is good news, that the long-disappeared jade has finally arrived.

In the letter, Jiang Yu complained about the pain of lovesickness, without reserve, without hesitation, ** nakedly stated her thoughts about Duan Ye on paper, and infiltrated Duan Ye's heart through words.

Today's Western Regions, after the withdrawal of Lu Guang's army, really people's hearts are floating, although Zhuge Xuan has some soldiers in his hands, and he also has Lu Guang's authorization, but after all, his ability is limited, and he threatens the soldiers at every turn, but he doesn't really dare to do anything, and now except for some small foreign countries near Qiuzi, many countries have almost rebelled.

But in this way, Jiangyu's business is very good, the demand for all kinds of materials is great, and after Duan Ye took charge of the army, he also relied on personal relations to get in touch with several big clans in Jiuquan, and also took care of them so that their business to the Western Regions was moderately shared with Jiangyu, and on the Taoist side, Liuyun didn't look like a Taoist priest, but like a profiteer.

Naturally, the good business is to make money every day, and the reputation is outside, and while the Shache country is making trouble and Zhuge Xuan is busy dealing with it, the rumor that the queen of the Qiuzi country is the female proprietor of the newly emerging big businessman in the country has begun to circulate......

As for personal safety, Jiang Yu said that Tan Daoji is very careful and measured in doing things, so that he doesn't have to worry, and said that he hopes to reunite with Duan Ye within a year or two.

There is no doubt about the feelings in the letter, Duan Ye can only pray for this beautiful and strong woman in his heart, in addition to repaying her with a lifetime of protection, what else can he do?

In addition, military news has already arrived, that time, when the bald hair Sifu pursued Luo Qiu, Luo Qiu's injuries were not light, but he did not die on the spot, but struggled to escape back to the Lu Shuihu tribe, but was bedridden after returning.

This time it broke the sky, and the brothers Frustrated Meng Xun and Frustrated Nancheng couldn't suppress the voices of the upper and lower voices asking for revenge, even if Lu Guang and they didn't dare to provoke for the time being, but Nancheng had been forced to take someone to sacrifice to God and announce that he would not share the sky with the bald department.

At this moment, Bald Sifu didn't dare to stay in Jiuquan for a long time, and after getting Lu Guang's promise, he hurriedly led people to take a shortcut back to the tribe, and he had to be prepared in case Lu Shuihu did whatever it took to go to war. Although he left two brothers, the bald Wugu and the bald Lugu, to defend the headquarters, he was still not at ease.

This news made Duan Ye a little worried, it seems that at this moment, the fateful duel between Frustrated Qu Mengxun and the bald Wei Tan is likely to be advanced, and this is not good news for himself, the only slightly beneficial point is that Frustrated Qu Luo Qiu led people back to the tribe directly because of his serious injuries, and did not go to Zhangye to continue to fight against Lu Guang, in this way, the room for return is much larger.

In addition, the Liangzhou army, which retreated to Zhangye City, elected Yao Hao as the temporary governor of the capital, led the army to continue to resist, and immediately sent an envoy to Guzang for help.

However, as soon as Yao Hao and others straightened out the relationship and gathered the defeated troops, they heard that five of the eight counties in Zhangye had been lost, and Rile County, which was on the main road of shrinking Yin, had also fallen into the hands of the enemy, which was equivalent to saying that Zhangye's back road had also been cut off.

Yao Hao immediately convened a meeting of the generals, but this time, the atmosphere was dignified, although the generals all arrived on time, they all looked as listless as frosted eggplants.

"Everyone!" Yao Hao is still a little unaccustomed to sitting on the main seat, especially Zhang Ye is too guarded by Li Tong to sit under him, which makes Yao Hao a little uneasy, after all, Li Tong is older than him regardless of seniority, and he has outstanding ability, Yao Hao didn't expect to be recommended as the governor of the capital?

"Today's situation, everyone also knows, the Lu thief army is huge, more than half of the eight counties in Zhangye County have been lost, and there are less than 30,000 people in the city.

Supposedly, there is no problem with this, but the problem is that now that the army is defeated, and it is a time when people are panicking, everyone is looking forward to you being the governor of the capital, hoping that you can bear it and come up with ideas? What else would you want to do? As soon as Yao Hao said this, everyone felt that there seemed to be nothing to do.

Suo Pan was injured before, and he could not have come to today's meeting, but he strongly recommended Yao Hao, so he still reluctantly supported him, and wanted to give Yao Yu a waist, seeing that everyone did not speak, Yao Hao looked at whom, who bowed his head, and was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and said loudly: "Everyone, why bother, the previous defeat was mainly the temporary betrayal of Peng Feng's dog thief, otherwise why not, we have not fought with Lu Guang's department, their combat effectiveness is very strong, but it has not reached the point of invincibility, we still have nearly 30,000 troops, There is still a strong city in hand, and the grain and grass in the city can be used for two years, as long as we work together, there is no chance of defeating the Lu thief! ”

"General Suo!" Wang Yan, the protector of Zhangye City, said with some concern: "It's not that we don't want to fight to the death, it's just that we ...... General Suo, now that the news has come over, that Lu Guang conquered Jiuquan, before nothing more than preparation, when the real siege of the city, there are countless giant trebuchets, this thing comes out, the city wall of ten zhang has no ability to resist, the boulder flies into the sky, smashes people and dies, although the city wall is thick, vulnerable, even if we are all soldiers, in the face of the catapult, what can we do! ”

"This ......," Suo Pan was speechless for a moment.

"Not bad!" Liu Qian, the other driver of Zhangye City, also took over the conversation: "On the strength of the city, Zhangye Jiuquan is on par, on the people's fierce style, Zhangye City is even inferior to Jiuquan, and now, the enemy army is a newly victorious division, morale is high, unstoppable, our army is newly defeated, morale is low, this officer went to the army yesterday to work in the army, the soldiers are war-weary, such an army, how to fight!" ”

"Then you can't just surrender the city!" Suo Pan couldn't talk about them, and couldn't help but say angrily.

"If you dedicate the city...... Not necessarily! Li Tong, who had been silent, said slowly.

"What?" Yao Hao, who had been watching everyone talk and didn't say anything, was also shocked: "Lord Li, you are too guarded by Zhangye, and you have the duty to defend the land, now that the city is in danger and the people are in danger, how can you talk like that!" ”

"Lord Li, are you afraid that we will be burdened by you!" Suo Panyin said that in fact, he was already dissatisfied with Li Tong, because although Li Tong accepted the army when they were defeated, he was not enthusiastic, and he was also sarcastic about the defeat of Liangzhou from time to time.

"Lord Suo speaks carefully!" Li Tong glanced at Suo Pan with disdain, and then said slowly: "Everyone, you also know the current situation, Zhangye City is not as good as Jiuquan in terms of city defense, and if you insist on fighting, it is nothing more than a combination of soldiers and troubles, causing trouble for the people, and you must not be able to hold it, I will not fight such a battle!" ”

"Yes, such a battle, the last general will not fight!"

"Master Li is right, you can't fight!"

The local generals in Zhangye expressed their stance one after another, and the Liangzhou army was now under the roof, and they had to bow their heads, Yao Hao had to hold back his dissatisfaction and said: "Then how does Master Li think this battle will be fought!" ”

Li Tong stood up, walked to the map hanging on the wall and said: "It is definitely not possible to defend the city, don't say Zhangye, it is Guzang, it is Chang'an, it is Jiankang, as long as they still have that kind of unstoppable catapult, we can't hold it!" ”

"That field battle can't do either! Lu Guang's cavalry is also stronger than ours, and the field front is probably not an opponent either! ”

Li Tong glanced at the man and said with a smile: "But at least there is still a fight, not to the point where there is no power to fight back, in this case, it depends on who is in command of this battle!" ”

Yao Hao was overjoyed, he was a loyal servant of Liang Xi's father and son, he didn't have any ambitions, and he didn't take power too seriously, as long as he could defeat Lu Guang, he didn't care about other things: "What is Lord Li's good plan, as long as the adult's method works, Yao Hao is willing to give the command with both hands, and he will definitely let Lord Taishou be like a finger and not be constrained!" ”

"The Grand Duke!" Suo Pan was a little anxious, and the other generals of the Liangzhou lineage also spoke out one after another

But Yao Hao waved his hand to stop them, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the position is empty, defeating the enemy is the key, if you can defeat Lu Guang's thief, not to mention the position of a metropolitan governor, even if you take away Yao Hao's head and three liters of blood, it is nothing?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were greatly favored, and Yao Hao continued: "Li Taishou, Yao Hao himself is not good at military horses, but he is to make Lord Jun love, so he is unusually promoted, and now the situation is in the autumn of critical survival, if Lord Li can shoulder this burden, Yao Hao can't ask for it!" ”

Li Tong said movingly: "Governor Dadu, if you resign, don't mention it again, as long as Li Tong is here, the Metropolitan Governor will always be the Metropolitan Governor, but Li Tong has some ways to break the enemy." Although I am not completely sure, I can give it a try, and I hope that the Metropolitan Governor will give it his full support! ”

Everyone also understands that this Li Tong still needs to be wanted, that is, the command of the army, but at this critical moment, there is no need to bear that false name, it is really high!

However, since Yao Hao has saved enough face, and Yao Hao Suopan and others really don't have any good ideas, everyone has no objections.

After some modest resignation, Yao Hao was still the governor of the capital, but the military command also fell into the hands of Li Tong.

"Everyone!" Li Tong, who was a little proud, smiled reservedly, pointed to the map and said: "You see, now Zhangye City, we can no longer defend it, several major counties have been lost, it's not that I will damage my own ambition and grow the prestige of others, and if I continue to defend it, our tens of thousands of troops may all be handed over here, this is not necessary!" ”
