Xuanyuan Sheng got up and arched his hand: "Back to Chudu, the person hasn't woken up yet, but the doctor said that Ye Jun is considered a life of nine deaths, and if he survives in the past two days, he should have saved his life." However, the injury is very serious, and the doctor said that although Ye Jun is strong and strong, such an injury can not be used vigorously for three or five months, otherwise the internal injury will easily recur. ”

All the generals present have won Xigu Pass this time, Ye Jun can be said to be a great contribution, after hearing Ye Jun's deeds, the soldiers in the army are actually admired very much, and when they heard that Ye Jun saved his life, everyone suddenly showed joy.

Xu Shao already smiled and said, "It seems that Ye Jun is the reincarnation of an old cat." ”

Hou Jingang next to him couldn't help but ask, "General Xu, how do you say this?" ”

"Cats have nine lives." Xu Shao said with a smile: "This kid's life hangs by a thread, they all thought that he would not be successful, but he came back to life, it must be the reincarnation of the old cat, and there are eight lives left." ”

Everyone present immediately burst into laughter, and Chu Huan was also sorry for it, and ordered: "Send someone to take good care of it, if you can't act for the time being, just stay here for a while to recuperate, and when your injuries are better, send them back to Shuoquan." ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai said yes.

"Your merits, for the time being, remember, when you return to Shuoquan, you will be rewarded." Chu Huan said slowly: "The injured brothers, stay in the pass for the time being to heal, and if the brothers die in battle, they will be buried alive and their families will be kindly cared for." ”

The crowd looked solemn.

At this moment, they heard the sound of snoring, everyone was taken aback, and looked at the sound, only to see a person sitting on a chair in armor, seemingly sitting decently, but his eyes were closed, and he made a snoring sound, Gu Liangchen next to him approached, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the person's eyes, without any reaction, Gu Liangchen looked at Chu Huan and said, "Chu Du, Qin Lei is asleep." ”

The one who sat quietly and fell asleep was none other than the little overlord Qin Lei.

Qin Lei's bravery is already known to the Northwest Army, and many people are also aware of Qin Lei's incomprehensible affairs.

Qin Lei fought several times, all of them were in the front, Chu Huan did not avoid his relatives, but he also sealed Qin Lei as a partial general, but Qin Lei was not very interested in such an official position, and he followed Pei Ji on weekdays and trained with the army.

Marching and marching, that was Qin Lei's most joyful thing, but the symposium was quite difficult for Qin Lei.

The generals gathered here, Qin Lei was bored and lazy, and in a moment, he fell asleep.

The generals knew that if such a heavy meeting was to be replaced by someone else, it would definitely be an unforgivable sin, but Qin Lei was exactly one of them.

Chu Huan and Pei Ji glanced at each other, smiled, Pei Ji shook his head, and Chu Huan asked Xu Shao at this time, "What time is it?" ”

"It's not time yet." Xu Shao replied.

Chu Huan bowed slightly, and asked, "Cheng Yishi's team should be able to reach Tongzhou City in less than two days, right?" ”

Xu Shao said: "The last general sent someone to track a distance, according to their speed, it will take three days at the earliest, but there is always a rest on the way, plus they are mainly infantry troops, it is impossible to maintain the speed at the beginning, and it is far away from Xiguguan, so they will relax and slow down, if nothing else, it should be about two days away from Tongzhou." ”

Hou Jingang asked for orders: "Chu Du, give the last general five hundred fine horses, and the last general will take the head of Cheng Yishi, and I am willing to make a military order!" ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "General Hou, don't worry. ”

"Chu Du, let's not chase after it, and when Cheng Yishi escapes to Tongzhou City, it will be too late." Hou Jingang was still a little anxious: "If you don't take this opportunity to catch them all and kill his arrogance, I'm afraid it will be a trouble in the future." ”

Chu Huan nodded slightly, and said with a straight face: "Cheng Yishi's soldiers and horses are not what the governor is most worried about, the governor just said that although it is very important to take the Xigu Pass, this does not allow us to completely open up the trade routes with the Guannai." There is a shortage of food in the northwest, and there is a great demand for many goods in the customs, we can use the new salt to sell in the customs in exchange for what we need, but if we can't ensure the smooth flow of the line, it will always be a great threat to us. ”

Pei Ji said on the side: "What Chu Du said is extremely true. Ladies and gentlemen, the Qin State blockaded Xigu Pass, that is, regardless of the life or death of the people in the northwest, they were intent on forcing us to death, although they took Xigu Pass, but as long as they had the opportunity, they would definitely try their best to block our road. He got up, walked to the edge of the map, and pointed to one of them, "This is Tongzhou City, and it is the only way to the east, if they stay here and block the passing business travel, it will definitely become a big trouble for us." ”

The generals actually knew very well in their hearts that after entering the customs, it would be in Tongzhou, and Tongzhou City was held in the most important position, which could be said to be another barrier behind the Xigu Pass.

"As the general said, they are holding Tongzhou City, and we want to trade with Guannei, the convoy must pass through Tongzhou, we naturally cannot send troops to escort the convoy, and they are squatting in Tongzhou City, just like a knife on our throat, the convoy passes, they can send someone to stop it at any time." Chu Huan's expression was grim: "So our situation is still not optimistic. ”

The generals all nodded slightly, and Pei Ji said: "Everyone pay attention, the north of Tongzhou City is where the Yunshan Mansion of Xishan Daofu is located, and the north is the territory of Liangzhou of Xishan Road, south of Liangzhou, which is Jinling Road, east of Tongzhou, the terrain is open, there are many roads, and we can go straight into the hinterland of Guanzhong, so as long as we take Tongzhou, we can trade with the hinterland of Guannei." ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai saw the fame, got up and said: "General, taking Tongzhou not only controls the traffic artery, but also cuts Yunshan Mansion and Liangzhou from it." ”

"General Xuanyuan really broke through the barrier." Pei Ji said with a smile: "Yunshan Mansion is north of Tongzhou, Liangzhou is within Tongzhou, and Tongzhou is between the two places. ”

Hou Jingang clenched his fists and said: "Since this is the case, we should quickly take Tongzhou and cut them off from it, and Xishan Dao will not be able to take care of each other." ”

Xu Shao shook his head and said: "Chu Du, general, it is important to take Tongzhou, and if we surprise our troops, before they can fully react, we should be able to take it down." It's just that there will be a worry in the end. ”

"Oh?" Pei Ji raised his hand and said, "You may say it." ”

Xu Shao walked over, pointed to the location of Tongzhou City, and said worriedly: "Everyone, please see, as the general said, Tongzhou is located in the south-central part of Xishan Road, and taking Tongzhou can indeed cut off Yunshan Mansion and Liangzhou, but you should also think that although we cut them off, we are also under their two breads, Yunshan Mansion and Liangzhou are one south and one north, just like pliers, sandwiching Tongzhou in the middle." ”

When the generals heard this, they all thought it was true, and Gu Liangchen, who had not been silent, got up and said, "Chu Du, general, what General Xu said is very reasonable. If we take Tongzhou, what will we do next? ”

Hou Jingang immediately said: "Of course, it is to defend Tongzhou." ”

"That's what I'm worried about." Gu Liangchen's expression was solemn, and he arched his hand to Chu Huan and said: "Chu Du, Tongzhou is three or four days away from Xigu Pass, and Shuoquan is far away, under normal circumstances, it will take about ten days, and this will have to be day and night, and there can be no delay on the way." It may be easy for us to take Tongzhou, but it is very difficult to hold Tongzhou. After taking Tongzhou, whether it is Yunshan or Hexi, we will not give up, we stick to Tongzhou, and want to control the throat of the important land, how many troops should be stationed? The number of people is too small, once besieged, our reinforcements may not have arrived, and Tongzhou may fall, so the number of troops guarding Tongzhou must not be too small. However, there are too many troops, and we have to continuously supply military rations to Tongzhou from the northwest, and if we cannot get grain on the spot during the journey of more than 10 days, then the consumption of grain and grass will inevitably be huge, and Tongzhou will also become a heavy burden for us. But to get grain in Tongzhou, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream, Tongzhou is not a grain-producing area, there are a lot of minerals, and the grain is not enough to be braved by the last general, if it is just to guard the throat of Tongzhou, I am afraid it will not last long. ”

After Gu Liangchen's words, everyone immediately felt that it made sense, and even Hou Jingang also felt that what Gu Liangchen said was indeed to the point.

The officers and men of the Northwest Army are not afraid of going into battle to fight, but they are afraid that the supply of grain and grass will not be available, and the shortage of grain and grass in the northwest is a matter that is well known from top to bottom.

Chu Huan had already smiled and said: "What General Gu said is indeed the key, if we just attack Tongzhou, it will be easy to take it, but it will be difficult to defend him." ”

Hou Jingang frowned and said: "Even if the throat is important, it is related to the trade with the Guannai, if you don't take it, you will still be blocked by them, and it is imperative to take Tongzhou." It's just that we really want to take it, and if we stick to it, it's even more troublesome, where can we get so much food supply! ”

Pei Ji walked to the table and said solemnly: "You naturally know that if the power of the Northwest Army wants to spread to Guannei, grain and grass are indispensable, if you just rely on the grain in the northwest, even after the autumn harvest, you may not be able to free up enough food." After a pause, a pair of eyes were shining, and he said slowly: "So if we don't want to sit still, we must solve the problem of grain and grass, the gains and losses of one city and one place are not important, the important thing is that we must have a careful overall plan." ”

Chu Huan also got up and said: "As the general said, we not only want to take Tongzhou, but also firmly control Tongzhou in our hands, so the governor and the general have made a careful plan, if they can proceed smoothly, not only can they gain a firm foothold in the central and southern regions of the Xishan and control the trade routes, but also!" He smiled mysteriously and said, "And it can also fill our granary!" ”R1058
