The weather is particularly cold when the snow melts. The midday sun in late autumn shines on the streets of Naryn City, and it is difficult to feel warm.

Liu Yichen took a few entourages to ride across the long street and went to the barracks in the city to find Zhang Sishui to coordinate. The two of them worked together in Jiahuan's mansion back then. Now one is in charge of logistics in the army, and the other is in charge of the army.

All the way to the barracks. The barracks were very lively with the movement of troops in and out, but the signs of the victory were already very weak. Thousands of battalions had just returned from drilling. All of them were sweaty, and their foreheads were steaming.

After a few words of greeting with the captains who led the team, Liu Yichen threw the horse out of the door, and as soon as he stepped into Zhang Sishui's compound, he heard the flower hall inside say: "Lord Zhang, you have to persuade Jia Zhijun." Our Shule Army was raised by his stepmother? Why do you want to resist the 150,000 Turks? Isn't this sending to death? ”

"That's it!" There was a chorus of echoes in the flower hall.

Liu Yichen listened and walked into the flower hall. The flower hall is simply furnished, Zhang Sishui is of medium stature, dressed in a blue straight jacket, dressed as a scribe, and equipped with a long sword at his waist. Silently, he listened to several commanders speak in front of him.

His character is like this: simple, calm and resolute. Not a lot of words.

Most of the Shule troops recruited by Jia Huan were in the name of regimental training. These generals are all official positions in the guards. They are all commanders and commanders who lead thousands of troops.

"I've seen the Willow Transporter!" When several conductors saw Liu Yichen coming, they sang a fat song one after another, and scattered like birds and beasts.

Liu Yichen casually found a chair to sit down and asked, "Boren, is this still an order from Qi Dashuai?" "Marshal Qi's order, Jia Huan clearly instructed the generals, asking everyone to discuss and offer suggestions first.

A pro-soldier brings hot tea.

Zhang Sishui nodded and sighed lightly: "Not really." "Sad. As a general in charge of commanding the battle, he knew that with 60,000 men against all the forces of the Turgish, even if he won, he would win a crushing victory.

Putting aside the words of fame and fortune, all the 40,000 recruits of the Shule Army were brought out by him. These people are all dead on the battlefield, can he feel better?

However, Qi Dashuai's order is difficult to disobey! If there is a sacrifice for the sake of the big picture, he can only bear it.

Liu Yichen groaned, tilted his body slightly, and said in a low voice: "Boren, this is indeed a dilemma!"

If we want to hold back the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tuqi Shi people, let's not mention the heavy casualties, in the end, we will make a wedding dress for the Beiting army! The credit for pacifying the North Court is theirs! didn't try his best, but he was afraid that Qi Dashuai would be jealous of Ziyu.

What Ziyu thinks, I don't know. However, you do have to persuade Ziyu. The soldiers are all gone, what are we? ”

Zhang Sishui was stunned and looked at Liu Yichen. The generals in the army scattered just now because Liu Yichen openly held the opposite opinion. But, I didn't expect him to say it so thoroughly in private. Immediately, he nodded slightly.

…

…

The eighth day of the ninth month. In the morning, the guerrilla generals Shen Qian and Yang Ji led 3,000 cavalry to Narun first. The rest of the army is still on the way.

Shen Qian and Yang Ji arranged the army in a military camp outside the city. Came to the city with his personal guards, and Jia Huan in front of him.

At this time, Naren City was already a huge military camp and granary. Passing through the long street, I saw that the armor was like a mountain, and the grain, grass, medicinal herbs, spirits and other materials that could be used by tens of thousands of troops were piled up like a mountain.

In particular, there are fifteen granaries. The people traveled back and forth, and the large amount of grain they hoarded was enough to supply the army.

Shen Qian was happy in his heart. It seems that Jia Huan has done a lot of preparations.

He had just heard about the recent big discussion in the army in the barracks: Do you want to attack Broken Leaf? This is Jia Huan's leadership style, and he loves to brainstorm ideas! And with the support of these materials, he has the confidence to lay down broken leaves!

Shen Qian and Yang Ji came in from the main gate of the General's Mansion, and dozens of scribes in the lobby were busy doing things. More than a dozen tables are set out, and the copywriting is like a mountain. The two of them passed under the hall, and a small official led them to the back to meet Jia Huan.

Jia Huan is not in his public house, but in the back garden of the general's mansion.

In late autumn, in the back garden, the stumps and leaves are indescribably beautiful. It's just blue bricks and blue tiles, which is quite quiet.

Jia Huan was dressed in a stone blue robe, his posture was straight, thin and calm, and he was contemplating in the soft sunlight.

In the corridor three meters away, Yang Dayan waited with his guards and eight students from Dunhuang Prefecture. There are the children of his collaborators Guo and Han, the proud protégés recommended by Master Wang, and the scribes who come to visit.

Jia Lianzhen is also the leader of the literary scene in the Western Regions, and it is normal to have such a scene.

The little official made an announcement outside the garden, "Jia Envoy Jun, Shen and Yang two generals ask to see you." ”

"Oh? Invite the two generals in. Jia Huan came back to his senses from his contemplation and commanded.

After a while, Shen Qian and Yang Ji came in. Both of them were dressed in military uniforms, wearing the fine armor of the generals of the Zhou army, and saluted: "The last general will see Jia Envoyjun." "One young, one old. Among the two, Shen Qian is the main one.

Jia Huan smiled and made a gesture, signaling for exemption, and said, "I count that Yu Qiao and Yang Guerrilla will arrive later." I don't want to be here today. Let's go and talk in my study. ”

Jia Huan's study is located on the east side of the garden. Walk through the cloister and be. Jia Huan asked about the situation of the two along the way, as well as the itinerary of the follow-up army, greeted them, and went to the study.

The study room has an excellent layout, which is transparent and bright. But the furnishings are simple. All the books brought by Jia Huan from Shule were placed. There is a set of tables and chairs.

The soldiers came in to serve tea, light charcoal basins, and unload armor.

Sit down and talk a few words, and Yang Ji will say goodbye first. He knew that Jia Huan and Shen Qian had a very good personal relationship, and they must have something to talk about.

After Yang Ji left, Shen Qian turned his head and shouted outside the door: "Qian Huai, give me a change for wine." How can drinking tea drink to ward off the cold. Then, he asked with great interest: "Ziyu, the army said that they would break the leaves, is it true or false?" ”

Jia Huan smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Qi Dashuai made me see the opportunity to confront the Tuqi Shi people. Relieve the pressure on the North Courtyard where. And the most intuitive military action is to attack Shattered Leaf City. What about your opinion? ”

Shen Qian rubbed his hands, roasted the fire in front of the charcoal basin, and said with a smile: "Hey, Ziyu, don't you scold me?" With your ability to scheming, will you be willing to make a wedding dress for Beiting? No one else will want to. Besides, Qi Dashuai did not give the order to die. ”

Sacrificing oneself for the merits of others, who would do such a stupid thing?

If you want the Shule army to fight, you must say in advance that the Shule army is the first contribution to pacifying the North Court! Obviously, he didn't hear such a statement from Jia Huan and the army.

He was keenly aware of Jia Huan's words. On the way here, he kept thinking about this in his mind. And he has a big plan in mind.

Qian Huai came in with a jar of fine wine, and said with a smile: "Second Master Shen, this wine is not warm yet, you take responsibility for one or two." "Second Master Shen is a famous general of the national dynasty and the future husband of the third girl, of course they, the subordinates of Jiafu, are willing to get close.

Shen Qian and Qian Huai had a few jokes. Qian Huai poured two glasses of wine for Jia Huan and Shen Qian. Then, the witty one withdrew.

"Yu Qiao said the same thing as the villain." Jia Huanxiao raised the wine cup, clinked glasses with Shen Qian, took a sip, put the liquor into his throat, and said softly: "I want to shatter Ye City, and then sweep the Tuqi Shi Department to the east, and intercept and kill the ancient filial piety of Baye!" Pingding North Garden. But the king is the world's business! ”

That's what he thinks in his heart.

After Jia Huan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Qian again and asked, "It's just, how is this battle going to be fought?" Does Yu Qiao have to teach me? ”

Of course, it was impossible for him to stick to the orders of the commander of Qi and use the Shule army to confront the Tuqishi. Then, wait for the Beiting Army to train the cavalry in the coming year and attack again! When will Pingding Beiting go?

Jia Huan didn't know Qi Chi's praise for him in front of Hu Chi: Ziyu has the talent to help the world, it will not be like this! There is also Governor Qi's inner opinion of him. Think he's ambitious. Not mediocre.

In fact, Jia Huan's truest ideal in his heart is: to live a good life with a beautiful wife and concubine! Carry the hairpin Dai to travel, hold the bright moon and end long. It's real, it's vulgar!

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes!

He came to the Western Regions, walked to the position of the envoy of Shule Jiedu, personally raised tens of thousands of troops, and had the hope of changing the situation of the war, what should he do? As Hu Chi envisioned, save the strength and contribute to the work?

With Jia Huan's character, how is it possible?

Standing on the tide of history, standing at the key node of history, how should he choose? When a shrunken turtle? His will is still strong. His courage has not been lost!

Shout the phrase "Peace for all generations!" ", shouting "Serve the Emperor of Heaven!" This is all very false. even said: I want to return to Beijing next year, this reason is very far-fetched! No, it's neither! Instead, it should be: I will choke fate!

When an opportunity arises, be the first to seize it! Instead of retracting in fear! When Jia Huan was a top student, this was the case. The college entrance examination is an opportunity to change your fate. How can you not work hard? Just like in his life, he buried himself in the imperial examination. The imperial examination changes fate!

The big guy salted fish is forced to hang up, and since then he has walked to the pinnacle of life. What about ordinary people? When salted fish live a lifetime? Sinking and drifting at the bottom, the city is full of street lights, and there is no place for me? At work, being a grandson in front of your boss? In life, endure the illness of your beloved son and have no choice?

Only struggle.

…

…

When Shen Qian heard Jia Huan's thoughts, he suddenly felt overjoyed. He was afraid that Jia Huan's small victory would be safe!

Talking about military affairs, Shen Qian's handsome face naturally exuded a confident brilliance, and said: "Ziyu, it is actually very simple to lay down broken leaves. As he spoke, he walked over to the map hanging on the left wall. In one hand he holds a wine cup and in the other hand a wooden pole.

Jia Huan sipped his wine, sat by the charcoal basin, and smiled. The charcoal fire is booming. Dispel the late autumn chill.

Shen Qian said: "Soldiers, treacherous." Therefore, it can be shown that it cannot be used, and it is not used to show it! With the sharpness of our army's firearms, with 60,000 people, if the strength of the Tuqi Shi people is less than 100,000, it will not be difficult to conquer Broken Leaf City.

However, being able to capture does not mean that it is pushed flat. That's a lot of casualties. So, we should make the Turgish think that we can't shoot the broken leaves. We should hit here first! ”

Shen Qian's wooden pole point is a point on the map: the meeting point of land and water in the middle of the river, and the battle of the city. At the moment, the Uzbeks are in a stalemate with the Sogdian coalition here!

Jia Huan's face was slightly strange, and he said, "Why?" ”

Shen Qian's wooden pole slid southward, "Ziyu, Sindh and Punjab are rich in grain, and they are all big granaries. And the Mughals could not afford to occupy it. Thou shalt make Ponze of Tochar, and take Sindh and Punjab in the south. Get food.

However, it is too unrealistic for millions of stone grains in these two areas to be transported through the Green Mountains to supply the army. The most economical solution should be through Tocharo, Kuzhan Ti, to Broken Leaves!

After we captured the broken leaves, we got a lot of food support. Not to mention sweeping the Beiting Zhuhu, it is enough to supply the army to conquer Mobei! ”

This is an extremely large, grandiose military plan!

Spanning thousands of miles, it lasted several months, and the military cost was measured in millions of stones! There are many forces involved! Hundreds of thousands of troops! But it is operable. It shows Shen Qian's superb strategic vision.

Jia Huan's toast in approval!

Shen Qian drank head-on, and said with a bright face: "Ziyu, the only problem now is how to transfer troops to fight the battle without making the Broken Leaf Turquoise people suspicious!" ”

The purpose of the Zhou army was not only to open up the grain route, but also to make the Tuqi people relax their vigilance, and it was best to transfer the garrison of Broken Leaves. There has to be a proper reason for this. Otherwise, the Turgish will think it's just smoke bombs!

Jia Huan smiled bitterly, "If I didn't know Yu Qiao's character, I would almost have suspected that you were cheating on me." He said: "Dinghu abandoned the world that day, broke the enemy and collected the jade pass in Beijing. The six armies are all vegetarian, and they are angry at the crown! ”
