"Evil, what do you say? The Malay-Korean coalition has already hit my Wuwei County? Dongshan Pass, which was in the hands of our army half a month ago, has now been captured? Li Li asked in shock.

Dian Wei nodded and replied, "Yes, my lord." Dongshan Pass is the place where the lord captured Ma Chao more than ten days ago, and now the breakthrough of Han Sui and Ma Teng's two armies to attack our Wuwei County happened to be selected at Dongshan Pass.

Two days ago, the pass was breached, and only a dozen of the more than 500 soldiers guarding the pass fled back to Wuwei County, and all the other soldiers were killed in battle. ”

After listening to Dian Wei's report, the shock on Li Li's face gradually faded, his expression was calm, his eyes were deep, and he was silent in thought.

After a while, Li Li's expression changed again, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Cai Yan softly: "Wen Ji, I wanted to accompany you well today, but I am busy with military affairs, you can take care of it more and explain it to Yu'er and Xin'er for me."

As for the war, you don't have to worry, it's just that your men are defeated. Two months ago, I was able to defeat Han Sui's 60,000 army with 7,000 troops, and now the Wuwei army has 40,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough to resist the Korean and Malaysian coalition forces! As long as I, Li Li, are in charge of Wuwei, even if Han Sui and Ma Teng, the two old horsemen, lead more soldiers and horses, I am not afraid of him! ”

After comforting Cai Yan, Li Li gently hugged Cai Yan's delicate body and gave her a reassuring hug.

"Wen Ji, follow me and let your sisters suffer. After I lead the troops to defeat the combined forces of Han Sui and Ma Teng, we can really settle down, and we will have time to accompany you in the future. ”

After letting go of Cai Yan, Li Li turned around and left, and Dian Wei followed closely and walked towards the lobby of the mansion.

Cai Yanqiao watched Li Li leave with a crimson face, her eyes were full of love, and she murmured softly: "Men are ambitious in all directions, my Cai Yan's man should be like this, how can a concubine complain?" As long as Wenchang has me in his heart, no matter how hard and tired he is, the concubine swears to die with ······. ”

Inside the county hall.

Li Xuan, who has always been calm and unhurried, is walking around the hall with his head down at this moment, his expression is solemn, and there is a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Bang bang bang!"

Walking into the lobby with a sound of footsteps, Li Xuan was suddenly shocked and hurriedly stepped forward.

"My lord, this time my subordinates have been derelict in their duties and have put our army in danger. In advance, they failed to detect the movement of Han Sui, Ma Teng and others, so that the enemy army hit our Wuwei County, and the subordinates only learned the news.

The subordinates voluntarily received the punishment, please punish the lord severely! ”

Listening to Li Xuan's words of pleading, Li Li sat down on the main seat calmly, and then waved his hand to signal Li Xuan to take a seat.

"Don't worry, Yuan Zhong. You don't have to ask for guilt, this time the incident happened suddenly, and Ben Taishou didn't expect Han Sui and Ma Teng to lead the army so quickly.

It is also reasonable that our army did not notice their movement in advance. It has only been a long time since the formation of our Wuwei Army, and it has only been more than two months, but Han Sui, Ma Teng and others are the head snakes of Liangzhou, and they have been entrenched in this land for most of their lives!

This time, they were able to avoid the eyes and ears of our army, and quietly dispatched troops to capture the Dongshan Pass in one go. This shows that they have been planning for a long time, and they are not rushing to send troops, wanting to exterminate our Wuwei army in one fell swoop!

Wonzhong, where is the Korean-Malaysian coalition army stationed now? Have they sent troops against the counties around my county? ”

Li Xuan saw that the expression of the lord Li Li was so calm, and he asked himself about the military situation without hurry, and his heart was immediately settled, and the anxious color dissipated.

"My lord, according to the urgent report sent by the commander of Bocai, this time the combined forces of Han Sui and Ma Teng are indeed a long-planned large-scale attack, trying to annihilate us in one fell swoop.

They took advantage of the night to send 3,000 iron cavalry to attack the Dongshan Pass, and then 80,000 troops slowly advanced into the territory of our county, accompanied by a lot of ordnance baggage, enough for the 80,000 army to supply a month's grain and grass. After capturing the pass, they did not immediately attack the county towns, but set up a large camp on top of the original camp of our army at the Dongshan Pass, and only sent thousands of light cavalry to plunder the surrounding villages.

After the commander of Bocai learned of the invasion of the Han and Ma army, he immediately dispatched 5,000 foot soldiers to garrison the three counties around the Dongshan Pass. Therefore, up to now, the Han Ma army is still camped at the foot of the mountain west of Dongshan Pass, and has not yet attacked in a big way, and has not captured a single city so far. ”

"Oh?" Li Li was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Han Sui and Ma Teng's two armies have a total of more than 80,000 troops, and after capturing the Yakou Pass, they actually did not take advantage of the victory to attack, but instead camped with a large army to hold the Yakou Pass. What are their intentions? ”

Li Xuan groaned and said: "Based on the speculation of his subordinates, the two thieves of Han Ma must have some understanding of the current strength of our army's soldiers and horses, and they have even found out the details of our army.

Although Dongshan Pass is not the only pass for our army to go east or south, it is also a crucial pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also a shortcut to the east of our Weiwu County to Anding County.

The Korean-Malaysian coalition army camped at the pass, backed by the pass, and could attack and retreat, and when the battle situation was unfavorable, they could also directly retreat to Anding County and escape. Therefore, they are really well prepared to hold this pass; In any case, it will not be like the previous battle of Black Dragon Ridge, which was defeated in a panic and exhausted. ”

"Haha!"

When Li Li heard this, the gloom between his eyebrows was suddenly swept away, his eyes were bright, and his fighting spirit was high.

"More than 20 days ago, I personally led the army to capture Ma Chao at Dongshan Pass, after half a month, Ma Teng and Han Sui formed an alliance with the candidates, Liang Xing and Zhang Heng and other remnants, and sent troops to capture my Yakou Pass. Yuan Zhong, do you think there is some inevitable connection between this? ”

"Huh?"

Li Xuan groaned in surprise and said: "The lord means that there are Han Sui, Ma Teng and others in Guzang City, who previously exchanged news with Ma Chao and Ma Teng's father and son, and after Ma Chao was captured, Ma Teng also got the news, so he joined forces with Han Sui and others to attack!" ”

Li Li nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly what I meant!" However, it is inevitable that there are detailed things sent by Han Ma and others in our county, after all, the foundation of our Wuwei Army is too shallow, and there are still many things to be solved urgently.

Yuan Zhong, this time the Han and Ma army came to attack, but it is a profound lesson for us, and the fine work sent to the counties of Liangzhou and the scouts in the counties must be further strengthened. At the same time, it is also necessary to vigorously arrest the meticulous work sent by the enemy, especially the meticulous work of the county soldiers and county officials hidden in the counties and county offices, and the meticulous work of the enemy troops in Guzang City, and it is necessary to completely eliminate them as soon as possible. Otherwise, every move of our army will be under the surveillance of others, which is too dangerous, and sooner or later it will surely cause a catastrophe! ”

"No, my subordinates know, and then immediately start to deal with this matter!" Li Xuan bowed and answered.

After getting up, Li Xuan then asked, "Lord, the big war is imminent, I don't know how the lord plans to fight the enemy?" ”

Li Lijian's eyebrows moved slightly, the murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and he said with a cold expression: "The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming!" The South Korea-Malaysia coalition army stationed troops at Dongshan Pass to deter our Wuwei counties, and its ultimate goal was to fight a decisive battle with our army on the Yakou wilderness.

In addition, they have plenty of food and grass, and they are determined to fight a protracted war with our army.

However, Wuwei County is the foundation of our army, and Bentai Shou will not allow them to station troops so unscrupulously in the territory of our Wuwei County. So since they want to fight a decisive battle with our army, then Ben Taishou will fulfill them and lead the army to fight! The battle of Heilongling allowed us to take Wuwei County into our pockets, but now the battle of Dongshankou determines whether we can gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou in the end, which is really a battle related to the life and death of our army.

If this battle is won, then my Wuwei army will be able to share the counties of Liangzhou with Han Sui and Ma Teng, and become a prince whose strength is not inferior to that of the two thieves.

If this battle is lost, the major event will be suspended, and we will ······. ”

Li Xuan didn't wait for Li Li to finish speaking, then interjected: "Don't worry, lord. Now our army is strong and strong, with more than 40,000 foot cavalry, 100 generals, dozens of generals, and the front of the army is flourishing. This time, even if it was defeated, it would be able to cripple the Korean and Malaysian armies, causing them to lose their strength and vitality. The worst result is that Wuwei County will be gained and lost, and our army will still be able to withdraw to the Xiutu Wasteland or Zhangye vassal country, and it will definitely not be defeated!

What's more, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Our whole army is full of young generals below the level of self-determination, and after learning a lesson, it only takes a year and a half to make a comeback and regain the glory!

Therefore, the lord does not have to worry about anything else, he can lead the army to a decisive battle with the Han Ma army, and the victory is gratifying, and the defeat is okay. The lord can afford to lose, but Han Sui and Ma Teng can't afford to defeat the old bones, once the battle situation falls into a stalemate and fierce battle, these cunning people will inevitably have scruples, which will breed civil strife! ”

After listening to Li Xuan's words, Li Li thought so, his heart was reassured, and his confidence doubled.

Until this time, Li Li suddenly found that Li Xuan was very strategic and had a strong sense of the overall situation.

Maybe Li Xuan's ability to adapt to the battle is still lacking, and he is not able to make calculations, but he is definitely a mastermind who is good at war planning and strategic planning, and he is also a great talent in governance, which is really a valuable sage.

For a moment, Li Li remembered that Cao Cao also had such a mastermind by his side, and that was Yingchuan Xunyu.

Through recent observations, Li Li found that Li Xuanzhicai is indeed very similar to Xun Yu recorded in the annals, with extremely outstanding government affairs ability and good at strategic planning. The only difference is that Xun Yu was loyal to the Han family, not to Cao Cao; And Li Xuan is wholeheartedly loyal to him Li Li, entrusts him with his net worth and life, and entrusts his only sister Li Xin to Li Li. As long as he Li Li does not die, Li Xuan will definitely not abandon him and find another way out.

To be honest, Li Li was indeed a little flustered when he heard that the Korean and Malaysian coalition forces had invaded the territory of Wuwei County. It's just that with his excellent military quality, he pretended to be fearless in danger, so as to stabilize Dian Wei and Li Xuan's hearts, but in fact, he was very worried in his heart.

However, through this debate with Li Xuan, Li Li completely calmed down in his heart. He has absolute confidence in fighting with Han Ma, and the worst result is that he will fight with Han Ma's army and lose both. If there is a sudden change in the battle, the result will be ······.
