Longyou Lintaocheng.

Longyou, because it is named in the west of Longshan, in ancient times the west was right, so it is called Longright.

Lintao camp, inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Commander, as of today, our army has collected more than 43,000 Xiliang soldiers, captured more than 200 generals above the rank of commander, captured their families, and intercepted a large number of gold, silver and jade. What should our army do now, please make it clear to the commander. In the big tent, Huan Wolf bowed down and reported to the main general Teng Yuyu.

"Have the horses in the two horse farms been recovered?" Teng Yu sat on the main seat in armor, waved his hand to signal Huan Wolf to take a seat, and then asked Yang Qiu, who was sitting on the left side of the tent, in a deep voice.

This time, Teng Yu was ordered to lead 10,000 Xiu Tu Iron Cavalry to Longyou, and the battle went extremely smoothly. Lintao City is almost an undefended city, although there are nearly 10,000 armor soldiers in the city, but no one leads the defense of the city, chaos is unbearable, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. This is not only the case in Lintao City, but also in the entire counties of Longyou County.

Faced with such a fragile situation, Teng Yu led his army to take control of the entire county in only two days, and then wantonly collected and surrendered the leaderless Niu Fu army, and pursued tens of thousands of war horses that had been looted by the rebellious army. During this period, Huan Wolf, the deputy commander of the Hutu Slaughter Camp, led 5,000 iron cavalry to collect and surrender the rebellious army, and Yang Qiu, the deputy commander, led 3,000 cavalry to recover the stolen horse farm, while Teng Yu himself sat in Lintao City and began to reorganize and surrender troops.

Yang Qiu, one of the eight generals under the command of Yuan Han Sui, has good martial arts and is quite loyal. After surrendering to the Wuwei Army, he earlier served as the deputy commander, and since then, as the Wuwei Army has grown stronger and stronger, and the number of generals has increased, he has been rotating in various battalions, with no brilliance, but no mistakes. It belongs to the hard-working, hard-working generals.

In the big tent, after Yang Qiu heard Teng Yu's inquiry, he immediately got up and reported: "Commander." The last general was ordered to recover the lost horses in the racecourse, and more than 34,000 horses have been recovered, including 6,000 foals, and the rest are horses that can be used for battle. According to the servants of the horse farm, there were more than 40,000 war horses in the Lintao horse farm, and now the remaining thousands of war horses have escaped from the territory of Longyou, and it may be difficult to recover them in a short time. The last general will be unfavorable, please lead the punishment. ”

"Oh, and thousands of horses haven't been found?" Teng Yu groaned when he heard this, staring at Yang Qiu. sighed lightly and said in a deep voice: "On this trip, the lord specially instructed me that the war horses in Lintao Racecourse should not be lost. Unexpectedly, I waited for the troops to be one step late, causing the horse farm to be looted by the rebels. In the end, thousands of horses were lost. Hey, forget it. If you can't catch it back, give up for the time being! Yang Qiu. You've done your best, sit down. Afterwards, the lord asked for it, and the commander shouldered it. ”

When Yang Qiu sat down with a guilty face, Teng Yu said in a solemn voice: "On this trip to Longyou, Niu Fu's chaotic army has been surrendered. Most of the war horses were also recovered, although they did not complete the work, but they also completed the mission delivered by the lord. The most urgent task at the moment is to reorganize and surrender troops as soon as possible and strengthen the defense of the city in Longyou. Be sure to defend Longyou. Just received the order of the lord, the two generals Zhang Ji and Li Meng, who occupied Chang'an City, led an army of 30,000 to rush to our Longyou. The purpose of their trip is self-evident, it is nothing more than to collect the Niu Fu army and recapture the Lintao Horse Farm. But this is already the meat that our Wuwei army eats in their mouths, how can we give it to them! ”

Before the words fell, Teng Yu stood up and ordered: "The generals will listen to the order, abandon other cities, and withdraw the army to Lintao City to garrison." On the orders of the lord's general, Huan Wolf and Yang Qiu each led three thousand iron horsemen out of the city and camped, and camped on the east and west sides of Lintao City, forming a corner with the commander to resist the invasion of Zhang Ji and Li Meng's army. In addition, the lord specially ordered that our army should not take the initiative to attack until it was absolutely necessary. If Zhang Ji, Li Meng and other Western Liang troops take the lead in attacking the city, then we don't have to scruple and let go of the fight. At the same time, the lord has sent Xu Rong and Dian Wei to meet our army, so our army must hold Lintao City before the reinforcements arrive! Will the generals have any objections? ”

"No, the last general will be ordered!" Huan Wolf, Yang Qiu and more than a dozen generals in the tent agreed in unison.

Immediately, Teng Yu gave orders to the generals in the tent, and the generals took the orders one after another, and only Teng Yu, Huan Wolf and Yang Qiu were left in the Zuihou tent.

"The lord still has some scruples, it's too affectionate! Tolerate the Xiliang Army led by Li Dao and Guo Yan everywhere, if this continues, our Wuwei Army will definitely fall into a situation of being passively beaten! Seeing that the generals had all gone out, Huan Wolf said to Teng Yu with a slight sigh.

Yang Qiu nodded and agreed: "Our army originally had 10,000 iron cavalry in Longyou, and now with the more than 40,000 surrendered troops, there are more than 50,000 troops. With so many soldiers and horses, we still need to abandon the city and stick to Lintao, and directly wave our troops to kill them, and we can defeat the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhang Ji and Li Meng, and flee in panic. ”

After Teng Yu heard this, he looked at Huan Wolf and Yang Qiu with a shocked expression, and then asked in a deep voice, "What do you two want to do, do you want to disobey?" ”

"The commander is serious, the lord's general will order us to naturally follow the order, and we will never dare to disobey the order. There are no outsiders here, and we just talk about what is in our hearts. Huan Wolf and Yang Qiu could see that Teng Yu was not angry, but deliberately scared them, so the two of them said with a smile on their faces.

Teng Yu grinned when he heard this, and said respectfully: "The reason why the lord gave in to Li Dao and Guo Yan's army again and again is all for the sake of General Li Dao's face, and he doesn't want to meet General Li Dao's army. After all, General Li Dao has the grace of nurturing the lord, and he used to take care of the two lords and brothers, and regarded them as his own. The lord has already said in the letter that Chang'an City is given to the Xiliang Army to garrison, and all the officers and soldiers of our Wuwei Army are not allowed to take the lead in making a move against the Xiliang Army, and whoever dares to disobey the order will be killed!

In fact, the lord is now in a dilemma, giving up Chang'an City has made my soldiers quite angry, if the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother are sent to General Li Dao, I am afraid that the army's morale will be unstable. At this time, who dares to disobey the order and disrespect, I am afraid that the lord will be angry, and he will really order the beheading of the disobedient general. So we still defend the city honestly, and no one can touch this mold, otherwise it will lead to death! However, such a stalemate did not last long, and with the occurrence of this surrender, the two armies were already ready to attack, and a major war was inevitable. Wait, who belongs to Xiliang, fight here! ”

Huan Wolf and Yang Qiu were stunned when they heard this, glanced at each other, nodded thoughtfully, and then bowed. Leave the big tent quickly.

————————————————

Just when the wind was surging in Longyou and Youfufeng, in Yiwu City, Li Xuan and Jia Xu also got together to discuss the situation in front of them.

In the study, Li Xuan and Jia Xu sat opposite each other, holding a teacup and drinking tea and talking.

"Brother Wenhe, I saw Xu Rong and Dian Wei leading the army out of the city before, I don't know what I want?" Li Xuan took a sip of tea and asked softly.

"Hehehe! Why did Yuan Zhong ask knowingly, on the orders of the lord. The two of them led their troops to the west to pick up Wen You, Huan Fei and Teng Yu. Jia Xu looked at Li Xuan with a smile and said with a smile.

Li Xuan looked at Jia Xu suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Wenhe, this matter." The lord did not mention it. ”

After Jia Xu heard this, he said: "I know that I can't hide anything from you!" That's right. The two generals, Xu Rong and Dian Wei, led the troops to the west, and I gave the order in the name of the lord. So far, it has not been reported to the Lord. ”

"Ahh Wenhe, you are so confused, you transfer troops privately, this is a taboo! Li Xuan said in shock.

Jia Xu smiled indifferently when he heard this, and said calmly: "The lord handed over the talisman to me before, and let me have full authority to handle the military affairs related to the Xiliang Army. As a subordinate. It is supposed to serve the Lord's worries. Therefore, there are some things that are inconvenient for the lord to do, and as ministers, as long as it is conducive to the great cause of the lord, we have no shirk responsibility. Naturally, I want to do it. ”

Li Xuan nodded contemplatively, and said: "Wen He has the main soldier's talisman, and the matter of mobilizing soldiers and horses is also reasonable, if the lord blames him in the future, I am willing to be punished with Wen He." ”

"Thank you Yuanzhong for your kindness, and I am grateful for my brother." Jia Xu bowed down quite movingly.

Li Xuan immediately picked up Jia Xu and said, "Brother Wenhe doesn't need to say thank you, let's not mention this matter for the time being." At present, the situation is delicate, the relationship between our army and the Xiliang army is tense, the two sides are dozens of miles away from each other, and a major war is imminent. It's just that the lord seems to be hesitating and giving up Chang'an, but he put the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother under house arrest in Yiwu; The three troops of Hu Zhen, Dong Yue and Longyou were the first to surrender, but they were unwilling to have a head-on conflict with the Xiliang army. If this continues, the situation we are facing will become more and more passive, and the soldiers will be unable to exert their hands and feet. I heard rumors in the army that the lord was going to lead the Wuwei army to surrender to the Xiliang army, so the army's heart was fluctuating, and many generals dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and they had a lot of complaints about the lord. I wonder if Wen He knows about this? ”

"Hmm." Jia Xu picked up the teacup and said vaguely, then thought about it and said, "Yuan Zhong's news is very accurate. At present, the generals in the army are indeed a little impetuous, and there are not a few people who use alcohol to kill their sorrows and make indiscriminate complaints. However, our army is still as stable as a mountain, the spirit of the army has not wavered, and no one dares to be disrespectful to the lord. However, it is best to solve the matter between us and the Xiliang Army as soon as possible, if we continue to hold each other like this, the people's hearts will fluctuate, and the army's morale will be unstable! ”

Li Xuanshen nodded his head in disbelief and said, "What Wen He said is extremely true. Now our army has collected more than 30,000 soldiers and horses from the Lantian battalion, and now our army has begun to incorporate more than 10,000 flying bear soldiers from Dong Yue's department, more than 20,000 infantry troops from Hu Zhen's department, plus 20,000 or 30,000 horses from Longyou, with a total of 150,000 troops. If the assembled army and the Xiliang army under the command of Li Dao and Guo Yan are in a head-on decisive battle, even if most of the soldiers and horses of our army are weak brigades, but the 30,000 Wuwei army and the flying bear soldiers under Dong Yue's department are all horsemen, and the 30,000 infantry troops under Xu Rong's account and the 20,000 infantry soldiers under Bocai's account are not weak brigades, and if the two armies fight a decisive battle, our army has a great chance of winning. It's just that the 、、、、、、 lord doesn't seem to want to start a war with the Xiliang army, and without the lord's order, even if we are anxious, it won't help! ”

After Jia Xu heard this, he showed a bright smile and whispered with a smile: "Yuan Zhong is too anxious, you are a fan of the authorities!" The lord is indeed reluctant to fight with the Xiliang army, but some things are the trend of the times and have to be done. If General Li Wei takes the lead in attacking our army, or takes the initiative to make an appointment for battle, or even worse, the Xiliang army will come to the city and surround Yiwu. Faced with such a scenario, you say that the Lord Guild will not order a battle? Hehehe———"

"Huh? If this is the case, the lord will definitely face the battle! Li Xuan said in surprise. Then he frowned and muttered: "The lord is magnanimous by nature, humble, and filial piety. If General Li Dao hadn't pressed him repeatedly, the lord would definitely not have taken the initiative to attack. However, if General Li Dao persecuted too much, the lord would not back down and would inevitably lead his troops into battle. It's just that the text and this statement have a basis, not speculation, right? ”

"Hehehe! Yuan Zhong can rest assured that this matter is already being implemented, and it will be confirmed later. Jia Xu said with a confident smile.

Li Xuan said when he heard this: "Okay, then I'll wait and see!" If this battle is won, our Wuwei army will then be able to sweep the entire Xiliang, holding the Son of Heaven and powering the world, in the future, only need to work hard to gradually eliminate the princes of the Central Plains, and the great cause can be achieved! The great cause of the lord, the great rivers and mountains, fight here! ”

"Haha!" After speaking, Li Xuan and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and then laughed. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
