Although Xiang Liang prides himself on his bravery, after this battle, he finally understands the strong defense of the Qin army, so his arrogance has greatly subsided, and at the same time, he also understands how difficult it is for the Dai army, because the Dai army has defeated the Qin army several times, but they are all genuine victories, not such a nominal victory in this battle. Therefore, I have to admire the plateau, which has trained such a powerful army.

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "You guys are too awarded, in fact, our Dai Army is not stronger than the Chu Wei Army, and we have been able to win the Qin Army a few times before, all for their own reasons, like today's battle, if we change the Dai Army to fight, the result may not be better than the Chu Wei Army." I don't want to spoil everyone's interest, but I just want to remind everyone that you must not be complacent and underestimate the Qin army because of today's battle. ”

Xiang Dong also nodded again and again, and said, "What Wu Anjun said is that we must not be careless and despise the Qin army. ”

Gao Yuan said again: "Okay, no matter what, this battle has ended, but our task is to hold the girder, and the Qin army to fight attrition, not to defeat the Qin army immediately, if every battle must be met, then it is just in the trap of the Qin army, so from now on, we will focus on defending the city, try not to attack, and fight a field war with the Qin army." ”

Everyone also said in unison: "We should respect Wu Anjun's order." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "Very good, but I think after this battle, the Qin army will not attack Daliang again, because the high walls of Daliang City are thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you attack Daliang, it will only be in vain, I estimate that the Qin army will attack Xingkou in the next step, seize the water source of the chasm, and then irrigate Daliang with water, so I will leave for Xingkou tomorrow, one is to defend the Qin army; Second, I also inspected the fortifications of Xingkou, and when I was not in Daliang, Mr. An Chengjun and Mr. Zifang were responsible for the administrative affairs, and the military affairs were in charge of Dr. Xiang. ”

Xiang Dong listened, hurriedly came out of the ranks, and said: "Wu Anjun, I am afraid that I can't afford such a heavy responsibility, so I should ask Wu Anjun to take back his life and choose someone else." ”

In fact, what Xiang Dong said was not polite, but out of sincerity, because now the plateau has become the backbone of the entire Daliang City, and once he leaves Daliang City, no one dares to guarantee what will happen. Therefore, Xiang Dong did not dare to agree lightly to take the plateau to garrison in Daliang City.

Lu Renjie also came out and said: "Yes, according to the next point of view, Xingkou is just a land of projectiles, there are General Yuan and General Su presiding over the overall situation, there should be no worries, Wu Anjun is better to sit in Daliang." ”

Gao Yuan waved his hand and said, "Doctor Xiang doesn't have to be presumptuous, except for you, there is really no one who can take on such a heavy responsibility, so you don't have to shirk anymore." General Lu doesn't need to persuade much, although Xingkou is small, but it is related to the survival of Daliang, although there are General Yuan and General Su over there, but I don't go to see it in person, I don't worry, not to mention that the Qin army may not come to attack Daliang, and I will rush back to Daliang at any time. ”

Xiang Dong listened, and it was not easy to excuse himself, so he had to say: "Since Wu Anjun said so, then there is only one way to avoid difficulties and respect Wu Anjun's order, but after Wu Anjun leaves Daliang, how should Daliang be arranged in the city, and ask Wu Anjun to make it clear." ”

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, it is not difficult to hold the girder, as long as you defend carefully, don't fight lightly, with the defense power of the girder, you can completely block the Qin army, of course, the Qin army may also attack the girder in detail, and it is okay to send a small army to fight a few battles with the Qin army, but the scale is not large, and the strength must not exceed three thousand, so it should be used to practice the Qin army." ”

Xiang Dong nodded and said, "Yes, I should respect Wu Anjun's order below." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Okay, I hope you can work together to defend Daliang City." ”

Everyone said in unison again: "Respect the order of Wu Anjun below." ”

After arranging the affairs of Daliang City, Gao Yuan summoned Wei Zeng and Zhang Liang again, and instructed them to let them not relax their vigilance against these ministers of the Wei State in addition to handling government affairs. Then he led the Fan Yong army from Daliang and rushed to Xingkou.

After leaving the city, the group walked along the south bank of the chasm, and Gao Yuan also deliberately observed the situation of the chasm.

The chasm did not remain in later generations, because the chasm is connected to the Yellow River, the water carries a large amount of sediment, in the Han Dynasty, the siltation of the chasm has been very strict, the Han Dynasty has repeatedly organized manpower and material resources to clean up the Yellow River and the chasm, but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the national strength declined, the war continued, and the country was no longer able to clean up the chasm, so the chasm water transport gradually disappeared after the Han Dynasty.

At this time, the chasm has been running for more than 100 years, although it can still divert water for shipping, but the river has been greatly raised, and the water flow is only about half of what it was when it was first dug up, so if the Qin State wants to use the chasm water to irrigate the girder, it is not only necessary to expand the water inlet of the chasm, but also to clean the waterway of the chasm, and increase the embankment of the chasm, which is indeed a big project. And as long as he holds Xingkou, he can decide the Qin army's water attack plan.

In addition, the chasm is also a natural barrier, because Xingkou and Daliang are separated by more than 50 miles, and there is basically no danger to defend in the middle, and the location of the Qin army happens to be between Xingkou and Daliang, and it is very difficult to travel between the two places. But with the chasm, it is different, as long as the bridges near Xingkou and the girder are kept, and all the other bridges are destroyed, then walking on the north bank of the chasm can basically ensure safety. When the plateau first arrived at Daliang, it sent a batch of grain and grass materials to Xingkou, and walked on the north bank of the chasm.

And the chasm can also be used to protect the logistics supply line of the beam, although the materials in the city of the beam are sufficient now, but no one dares to guarantee how many years this war will be fought, the battle of Changping has been fought for more than three years, so the beam has to rely on external supplements sooner or later, and it is also very necessary to retain a safe supply line. However, now that the riverbed of the chasm is raised, there are many places where you can wade to the river, and relying on the chasm is not enough to block the Qin army and protect the Liang's relief line.

Jiang Huanwu galloped with Gao Yuan, and when he saw Gao Yuan's eyes constantly looking at the north shore of the chasm, he couldn't help laughing: "You always look at what the north shore does, is it so difficult that you want to go over and see?" ”

Gao Yuan shook his head, pointed to the north bank of the chasm, and said: "If we build a beacon tower every ten miles on the north bank of the chasm, and once we find that the Qin army is smuggling across the chasm, we will immediately raise a fire, so that we can prevent the Qin army from crossing the north bank of the chasm, and the exchanges between Daliang and Xingkou, as well as the materials sent from Taoyi, will also be safe." ”

When Jiang Huanwu heard this, he also nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, based on the calculation of one beacon tower in ten miles, it will take about twenty beacon towers, and it can be completed in a month at most, and at that time, the entire north of the chasm and west of the girder can be included in the safe area." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Yes, and to the west of Daliang, there are nearly a million residents of Wei, which is not only the reserve force of Wei, but also can ensure the safety of our transportation and relief line, take 10,000 steps back and say, if we can't hold Daliang, we can also safely retreat from Wei." ”

As he was talking, Gao Yuan's face suddenly changed slightly, and he turned his head to look to the side, and Jiang Huanwu also followed Gao Yuan's gaze, only to see a figure standing on a small hillside about three hundred steps away. Although it was far away, Jiang Huanwu's eyes were sharp, and he could still see it very clearly, seeing that this person's figure was very tall and majestic, wearing armor, but not wearing a helmet, with long black hair, scattered on his shoulders that were wider and stronger than ordinary people, and a black cloak draped on his shoulders almost integrated, and the most impressive thing was his eyes, cold as ice, without any emotion.

With Jiang Huanwu's martial arts realm, and the eye contact with these eyes, he couldn't help but have a trace of fear, and his eyes looked at the plateau again, only to hear the plateau say: "It's Han Teng." ”

Although he had such mental preparations, Jiang Huanwu couldn't help but be taken aback, this was the first time he had met Han Teng, so he couldn't help asking, "What is he doing here alone?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "He's looking for me." ”

Jiang Huanwu was stunned for a moment and said, "Looking for you?" ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "Yes, I think, he wants to talk to me alone." ”

Jiang Huanwu said: "I'll go with you." ”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "Brother Jiang, no need, he only came alone, I'll go alone, you take the people and horses first, I'll go and see if he has anything to say, and I'll catch up soon." ”

Jiang Huanwu pondered for a while, finally nodded, and said, "Okay, but you have to be careful." ”

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not like I haven't met with him." As he spoke, he took the reins in his left hand and tapped the red dragon's belly with his toes, and the red dragon let out a long neigh, spread his limbs, and ran in the direction of Han Teng.

At a distance of more than three hundred steps, under the full gallop of the red dragon, almost in the blink of an eye, the plateau stopped the horse under the hillside, jumped off the horse, patted the red dragon's neck, and said, "Wait for me here." Then he walked up the hill and came to Han Teng's face.

Han Teng's gaze fell on the red dragon at the foot of the hillside, and said lightly: "Good horse, I have never seen such a majestic war horse." ”

Gao Yuan also followed his gaze and looked at the red dragon, and said: "It is indeed a good horse, for more than two years, it has been accompanying me in the east and west, and it can be said that it is indispensable." ”

Han Teng's gaze returned to Gao Yuan's body, and said: "A good horse is also a horse, whether it can be famous, or it depends on what owner it follows, if this horse falls into the hands of others, maybe it will be regarded as a waste horse, because its body is too huge, it can't be a war horse pulling a cart at all, so only in your hands can you become a war horse galloping across the field." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "So Maxima is often there, but Bole is not often." ”

Han Teng nodded and said, "Maxima often has, Bole is not common, well said." ”
