On the eighth day of the lunar month, the sky is cold and the ground is frozen, and the jackdaws are frozen to death. Come on,.!

In the fortress of Xiaoguan, Chen Kedi was discussing with the generals around the furnace.

"Tanma reported that Xue Ju's father and son had completely defeated Liu Wuzhou. Liu Wuzhou was chased by Gong Rengao all the way from Lingwu to Yulin, and finally cornered, jumped into the river, swam across the Yellow River, and fled into Dingxiang Dali to join the Turkic Tongye Hu, but unfortunately for the Tong Ye Hu, Liu Wuzhou, who had no soldiers and horses, was just a lost dog. After Tong Ye Hu and Yu Wenhua formed an alliance again, he took Liu Wuzhou's head to sacrifice the alliance on the same day. Xu Shiji said with a smile, the death of Liu Wuzhou, the first hero, is just an inevitable thing for Chen Jun. If you don't die at the hands of the Turks this time, you will inevitably die at the hands of Chen Jun next time. What difference does it make if you die early or later?

What the generals of Chen Jun really cared about was what happened after Liu Wuzhou's death, Liu Wuzhou was destroyed, but Xue Ju, who took his territory, was worrying.

After defeating Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju captured the six counties of Lingwu, Wuyuan, Yanchuan, Shuofang, Yulin, and Honghua Longshang. The other counties originally occupied by Liu Wuzhou, Diaoyin, Yan'an, and Shangjun, and the six counties of Beidi, Anding, and Pingliang, except for a few cities, basically fell into the hands of Chen Jun.

As a result, the strength of Xue Ju's Qin army increased greatly, and after collecting those surrendered troops in Hou Zhou, the strength of the army had exploded to 150,000. And now the Quartet of Guanlong, when it comes to territory, is also the most extensive in terms of Xue Ju. Longyou and Longshang even extended to part of Hexi, and the territory of the Qin army was like the huge pincers of a sand scorpion.

And Chen Jun who entered Long. The first of them is surrounded by them.

There is Xue Ju in the west. There is Yu culture in the east and. Chen's army guarded Xiao Pass and laid a line from Xiao Pass to Longshan, the junction of the Yellow River and Hedong in the east. Without Liu Wuzhou, Chen Jun's situation suddenly became more severe.

"Liu Wuzhou is really an eggless coward, but he still has seventy or eighty thousand men and horses in his hands, dozens of cities, and he was completely defeated in less than half a month, and he gave all his belongings to Xue Ju without even taking a single soldier away. I really don't understand, just with his cowardice, how he set Master Liang on fire and dropped them in the first place. Huang Junhan shook his head and scolded. Liu Wuzhou was happy to die, but Chen Jun of Xiao Guan fell into the middle of the two breads at once. It's all because of Liu Wuzhou's uselessness.

Chen Kedi took a long breath and frowned: "It's pointless to scold Liu Wuzhou now, Guan Jian is still Xue Ju's attitude." He has just merged the Houzhou territory, but I'm afraid he won't stop there. ”

"Xue Ju surrendered and annexed before. Not really, though. But if he just joined Liu Wuzhou, he dared to fight our idea, this is unlikely, right? Su Lie couldn't believe it.

Shan Xiongxin, who had not spoken, said: "I think it is very likely that Xue Ju's father and son are cruel people, especially that Xue Rengao is not only cruel, but also faithless. When Xue raised his troops, Tang Bi, the thief of Fufeng County, supported 100,000 soldiers, supported Li Hongzhi as the Son of Heaven, and established himself as the King of Tang. Xue Ju sent troops to attack Tang Bi and fought for a long time. Xue Ju sent people to persuade Tang Bi to surrender according to Hao Ming's strategy. and promised that as long as Tang Bi killed Li Hongzhi and surrendered to him, he would still be allowed to be king. As a result, when Tang Bi killed Li Hongzhi and led the army to surrender to Xue Rengao, Xue Rengao suddenly sent troops to attack the unsuspecting Tang Bi, Tang Bi only fled on horseback, and Xue Rengao seized all his soldiers and horses and territory. ”

This matter can be said to be known to the whole world. Especially for Shan Xiongxin and other generals who were born in the righteous army, Xue Rengao's treacherous behavior is very shameful, and if Xue Rengao really defeats Tang Bi, it will be understandable. But even if he agreed to surrender, but he attacked behind his back, this is faithlessness and unrighteousness. A rebel general from the rivers and lakes. This is the kind of person that I look down on the most.

"Dogs can't change their, the country is easy to change, and their nature is difficult to change. With Xue Rengao's nature, since this kind of villain has seized Liu Wuzhou's territory, his power has exploded. Then he will never be willing to bow down again. What's more, his previous surrender was only a hypocrisy. The greatest possible. Xue Rengao will attack our army next. Or, he will temporarily hold his troops still, and after our army and Yuwen Chengdu are seriously injured, he will come back to take advantage of the fisherman. Xu Shiji also agreed with his brother Shan Xiongxin's words.

"According to the style of the Xue family's father and son, this is indeed very possible. Whichever one they choose, the outcome will be very bad for us. Yu Wenhua and this time mobilized 120,000 soldiers and horses to counterattack Xiaoguan, and we were under great pressure. Even if they can hold Xiao Pass, there will be heavy casualties by then, and if there is another beast snooping on the side, then this matter will be troublesome. ”

Shan Xiongxin saw that Chen Kedi frowned and said nothing, and persuaded in a low voice: "The first strike is strong, and the second attack suffers." When encountering an untrustworthy person like Xue Ju's father and son, he should not be eliminated first. Now that it is snowing heavily, Yuwen Chengdu is stationed in Changwu, and there is no plan to attack immediately for the time being, why don't we learn from that Xue Ju and raid the Qin army in one fell swoop, catch them by surprise, and destroy the Qin army first. Even if they can't be destroyed, they must be severely injured and beaten without threat. Otherwise, with such a beast behind us, how can we do our best to fight against the Xu army. ”

When Hu Hai heard Shan Xiongxin's radical plan, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

It is said that things gather in like, and people are sent in groups. Hu Hai found that their group of people was really fucking similar when they were together. It seems that these people don't know what fear is, they don't know what rules are.

After a long time, Hu Haicai smiled and said: "I didn't expect that General Shan would be so kind-tempered. If we had met a few years earlier, my old Hu would have pulled you to worship a long time ago. Although General Shan's words are to my old Hu's appetite, but General Shan should not forget it. His Majesty had sent a special decree to let us maintain the current stable relationship with Xue Ju. General Shan can't learn from me Lao Hu to be good at using soldiers and horses, and now I Lao Hu and several brothers are still guilty of crimes, but I can't make mistakes on top of mistakes. ”

In the last battle of Jiangdong, the leader was Hu Hai, and other big seats such as Xu Shiji, Su Dingfang, and Chen Kedi were all participants and witnesses. The turmoil of the last time has not gone away, although Hu Hai and others have always been valued by the emperor because of the great victory in Jiangdong, they have been punished lightly and severely. But things can not be repeated, one disobedience is fine, if one after another, this will inevitably mean to despise the emperor's authority, if it is not good, if you are detained for a bad intention, then there is nowhere to reason.

Chen Kedi shook his head and said with a serious face: "This time, that time." In the battle of Jiangdong, although there was the responsibility of using soldiers and horses without permission, in the end, Jiangdong won a great victory, captured the nine counties of Jiangdong in one fell swoop, took Jiankang, rescued the Emperor Taishang, and disabled Shen Luoyan and Wu troops in the first battle, isn't this also a fact? If this were not the case, how could Your Majesty not punish us heavily, and the result would have shown that Your Majesty actually knew right and wrong in his heart. ”

"This time we entered Guanlong, although we won Xiao Pass, but our situation is still not optimistic. Don't forget, what is the responsibility that Your Majesty has given us, and what is the purpose of our entry into Guanlong? ”

"Naturally, it is to disturb the alliance and confuse this pool of water in Guanlong. Replace defense with offense to ensure the safety of the Central Plains. ”

Chen Kedi nodded: "That's right." Since the soldiers entered Longshang, they have not fought a few real battles. In terms of merit, it is only a small merit. Defeating Xue Ju, taking down the entire Longshang, and even taking the right side of Longshang, this is a great achievement. As long as Xue Ju can be destroyed, then the entire Guan Long will only be left with the opponent of the Yuwen family. ”

Hu Hai was still a little worried, looking at the young commander, he felt that some words had to be made clear. He Hu Hai used his troops and horses last time, and he won a big battle after he came. Second, he is also a veteran of Chen Jun, and the emperor has always trusted and valued him. Another one, the Korean Chinese martial arts, basically he gets along well, and there are no obvious political enemies. Therefore, he was able to pass the test easily last time.

But again, Hu Hai was a little worried about Chen Kedi. First, Chen Kedi is too young and has no background, and there are no real hard-core allies in the DPRK and China. This time, he commanded the army and made meritorious service again, which must have made many people blush. After all, seniority is sometimes unavoidable. Seeing a young general climb so fast and without any background, it is natural for some people to be blushing.

Again, attacking Xue Ju in the current situation, the chance of victory is too small. Xue Ju owns dozens of counties, and in terms of territory, it is not less than the original Dongwu. Moreover, although Xue raised fewer soldiers and horses than Shen Luoyan at the beginning, the situation of Chen Jun was not as good as he was at the beginning. Over there, Yu Wenhua and the 120,000 army had already driven to the front line, and Xue Ju's soldiers and horses had just exploded. What is even more worrying is that Chen's army flew across the Yellow River from the east of the river, with a total of only 50,000 soldiers and horses, and has already gone deep alone.

Once a war with Xue Ju starts, then Xue Ju, who has already occupied Yulin and Shuofang, has a great chance to immediately capture Diaoyin and block the retreat and backup channel of the Chen army. As long as the retreat route is blocked, there are no reinforcements, and there is no retreat, and it is surrounded by the two armies of Qin and Xu, and the Chen army will not even have a chance to retreat.

The odds are big, and it's normal to gamble. But in this case, if you have to gamble, it is not worth it. If defeated, not only will there be a fear for their lives, but even if they can be withdrawn, those who have been red-eyed will definitely not miss this opportunity to fall into the well.

Chen Kedi was a little disapproving: "Your Majesty's plan is to recover Guanlong, level the world, and defeat the Turks." As Your Majesty's sword, I naturally have to think about Your Majesty. Defeating Xue Ju, defeating Yu Wenhua, and recovering Guan Long, isn't this the best performance to serve His Majesty? What's more, the general will not be subject to the orders of the king. The current situation in Guanlong is not something that His Majesty, who is far away in Beijing, can clearly grasp. As front-line generals, we have to judge the situation and make the most advantageous choice. General Xu, where is Marshal Chen? ”……)
