Anyway, Lu Guang took the Yumen Pass City, spread the counties of Liangzhou, and sure enough, there was a big earthquake in various places, Dunhuang was too guarded by Yao Jing, and Jinchang was too guarded by Li Chunju County to surrender to Lü Guang, and thieves rose everywhere, looting the people and attacking the city under the banner of welcoming the Western Expeditionary Army. However, none of this was decisive, because Jiuquan guarded Song Hao too much, beheaded the envoy sent by Lü Guang to persuade him to surrender, hung his head on the head of the city, cut off all the ears of the other followers and sent them back, and sent people from Guzang to Jiuquan to show his determination to resist to the end and his will not to give in.

In the hall of the Dunhuang Taishou Mansion, Lu Guang, Duan Ye, Du Jin, and Lu Su, Jiang Fei, Peng Huang and others who arrived in time gathered together, and everyone sat down separately, and there was tea in front of them, but the atmosphere in the hall was tense and suffocating.

Lu Guang was angry, he had never been so angry in his life, Song Hao was loyal to Liang Xi nothing, everyone has their own ambitions, he admired the loyal ministers and righteous men very much, Song Hao refused to surrender and it was nothing, but the two countries exchanged troops, and they didn't kill the envoys, just kill the envoys, and cut off the ears of others, this is an insult, this is the most serious insult.

Lu Guang said that the way to get angry was to keep walking around the hall with his hands behind his back and a gloomy face. However, after all, he is the commander here, he doesn't speak, and everyone doesn't dare to speak, Lu Su and Du Jin looked at each other and watched Lu Guang walk faster and faster, and their hearts were also beating drums.

Duan Ye had a little more respect for that Song Hao, of course, not for him to humiliate Lu Guang's envoy. In Duan Ye's view, leave one side for everything, and see each other in the future, unless you have the certainty of victory, why do you have to do so much.

However, Duan Ye sincerely admired him for sending all his family to Jiuquan City. Regardless of the position, in this case, normal people send the old and weak women and children, especially their own families, back to the safety of the rear, but Song Hao actually did the opposite. Admiration, apart from admiration, what else can Duan Ye say?

Of course, the effect of Song Hao's move is a big drop of good, according to the news from the scouts, when Song Hao's wife Wang took a son and a daughter, rode a horse into the city from the east gate, the whole city shouted long live, the soldiers and the people lined up to greet him, Wang is said to be extraordinary martial arts, and Song Hao was poor when he met, the relationship is very good, this time Wang entered Jiuquan City, but also publicly said: Although as a woman, but the husband serves the country, it is the responsibility to defend the land, and he can only do his best, vowing to live and die with Jiuquan City!

Now more than 10,000 guards in Jiuquan City, practicing day and night, cheers are ringing from time to time, the people are also in the army, and the gentry are also donating.

Lu Guang finally stopped, picked up the teacup, and was about to drink saliva, when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Lu Guang angrily "bang", and threw the teacup on the ground, splintering everywhere, almost hurting people!

"Song Hao'er, it's too hateful, I can't bear it again and again in this section, but I still can't bear it! Herald! Point soldiers! Immediately pull out the camp and attack Jiuquan! Lu Guang's eyes were cracked, his face was red, and he had lost his previous calm and calm bearing.

Duan Ye sighed secretly in his heart, in the end, he still has average strength, he can be a hero, and it is difficult to be the master.

Du Jin, who had followed Lu Guang for the longest time, hurriedly said: "Under the festival, the art of war has clouds, anger and rejuvenation, and the battle will be disadvantaged, now Jiuquan has been prepared, Song Hao is not a mediocre person, this move is clearly to provoke the festival, if we rush into the army, I am afraid of being disadvantaged, and I hope to think twice about the festival!" ”

Lu Su was also busy saying: "Not bad, father! Now our army is only more than 40,000, the army is still in the rear, the so-called ten are encircled, the times are the battle, the city of Jiuquan City is high and deep, the grain and grass are abundant, if our army is under the army and the strong city, Guzang will send troops to help, it is difficult for our army to win, please think twice about my father! ”

"Please think twice!" Everyone said in unison.

Lu Guang was a little angry, and when he saw that everyone had expressed their attitude, Duan Ye didn't think about it, and he couldn't help but get angry a little again, and said angrily: "Duan Ye, what are you thinking?" ”

Duan Ye gave a salute unhurriedly and said, "Under the festival, the lower officials are settling accounts." ”

"Reckoning? What is the account? "Lu Guang is a little puzzled, at the moment of the great enemy, you don't think about the military situation well, think about what this means.

"Under the festival, Duan Ye is thinking, if Jiuquan will be attacked, then the cities of Jiuquan City, bows and crossbows, rolling wood, rolling stones, fire cotton, etc., will cost how many lives of our soldiers, how much grain and grass will be consumed, and when Guzang's reinforcements will arrive, how many will come, and when will our army's rear team come."

Lu Guang interrupted dissatisfiedly, "Have you figured it out?" ”

"Sort of figured it out."

"Then you can talk about it!"

"Under the festival, Duan Ye thought that if he suddenly attacked Jiuquan, he would not be able to conquer it on the 15th, with a loss of at least 15,000 people, and about half of the grain and grass consumption would be used, and at this time, the Guzang army should have come, at least forty or fifty thousand people, and the rear team of our army should need a few more days."

"So what?"

"So it's going to be defeated." Duan Ye said categorically.

Lu Guang's pupils contracted suddenly, staring at Duan Ye and said, "Then you mean, this battle can't be fought, huh?" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Su hurriedly pleaded: "Father, the child thinks that what Duan Senjun said is still reasonable, and I hope you will think about this matter again." ”

Duan Ye bravely met Lu Guang's eyes and said calmly: "I can fight, but not now." ”

Lu Guang was furious, "Now Song Hao is strengthening the city day and night, training the people to be strong, in a few days, his soldiers will become 20,000, 30,000, there are more than 100,000 people in Jiuquan, and the people are fierce, all the people are soldiers, you don't fight, do you wait until then they are all trained, do you go to fight?" ”

"Exactly!" Duan Ye smiled, "When that time comes, we can capture Jiuquan to deter other states and counties to the greatest extent." Now, the other counties of Liangzhou are too guarded, I'm afraid they are staring at Jiuquan, if Jiuquan can be held, then everything is over, if we can even fight Jiuquan, then Liangzhou is in the bag! ”

"Fighting? It's light, Duan Ye, what are you going to fight? Peng Huang said with some confusion.

"Yes, Shimin, this is no joke." Jiang Fei's face was a little worried.

Now that Duan Ye's expression has spread all over the three armies, when everyone knows that it was Lu Guang who personally obtained the expression for Duan Ye, they all know that Duan Ye is now the red and purple character around him, so he has a lot of respect for Duan Ye. Jiang Fei and others even looked at Duan Ye differently.

"That's right, Duan Ye, let's talk about it, how can you make the sturdy Jiuquan City fall in a battle?" Lu Guang couldn't believe it.

"Have you forgotten the boulder cannon that showed its might outside the city of Qiuzi?" Duan Ye said with a smile.
