The feather pavilion was raised, and the beacon fire entered Xianyang.

Recruit the army to Tun Guangwu and divide the troops to save Shuofang.

Yan Qiu is strong, and the formation is fine and strong.

The Son of Heaven pressed his sword and was angry, and the messengers looked at each other from afar.

The geese travel edge stone path, and the fish pass through the flying beam.

The flute drum flows Hansi, and the armor is frosty.

The wind rushed up, and the sand fluttered on its own.

The horse's hair is shrunk like a hedgehog, and the horns and bows cannot be stretched.

When the times are in danger, the world is chaotic and loyal and good.

Surrender to the Lord, and die for the death of the country.

The Wei water, flowing from the vicinity of Lintao, brought the blue and bloody wind of Longyou, like the roar of the waves. On the north bank of Weishui, two thousand elite horsemen followed the royal car, marching westward, the dragon flag rolled, the yellow dust was long, and the sky was blue.

The messengers in front of them are frequent, and the feathers are galloping. Qin Mu was dressed in golden armor, riding a good horse covered with black clouds and snow, and Niuma Mountain was galloping behind him with the dragon flag, Zhu Yijin, Li Shi and others couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to kill the battlefield immediately, reliving the eventful years of following the Son of Heaven in the bloody battlefield.

The red lady was dressed in red, with a red cloak, a heroic posture, riding a peach blossom horse and tightly protecting Qin Mu's right side. Her son was given the name "Jing" by the Son of Heaven, which means Yasukuni and Anbang.

Although the son is not yet one year old, he entrusted it to the queen's care, and he went with the royal driver, but the red lady was willing, and returned to the great northwest where he had been fighting, and the red lady was surging and difficult to calm down for a long time.

Weishui is the source of the prosperity of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and the black iron flow is from here, conquering the world and sweeping the Liuhe Eight Desolations.

Now the Son of Heaven of Great Qin wants to trace the source along the Weishui countercurrent, so that the majestic wind of Great Qin will once again sweep the west of the Longyou River, and even the entire Western Regions. After the dragon flag, the iron hooves were clanging, the armor was like a cloud, and every soldier of the Qin army was excited to be able to follow the Son of Heaven in person.

The Son of Heaven started in southern Gan and swept the world. The martial arts are impressive, and it is a great honor to be able to follow the Son of Heaven here.

And Qin Mu himself was very calm in his heart, and even had a very heavy pressure, he knew very well that although the soldiers looked at him as a god, he was not.

This campaign is also different from the past, in the past, the conquest of Jianghuai and the sweep of the Central Plains, they all occupied the right time and place. And this time it can be said that the right time, place and people are not dominant.

Hundreds of thousands of fierce enemies raised smoke everywhere, and these enemies were all cavalrymen who came and went like the wind. From the plateau and desert, it occupies the right time and place. If it is not good, the myth that he is invincible can be broken, which will deal a heavy blow to his prestige and be extremely detrimental to his domination of the world.

When I was about to arrive in Qinzhou, there was a report from the front that I was in an emergency. At the same time, Gushi Khan Bailutuhu sent another general, Temur, with 3,000 soldiers and horses, to the east to attack Jin County (Yuzhong County). Entering Tianding (Dingxi City). He also let his son Dayan Ozir divide his army with 3,000 and attack Gaolan to the north.

Under the banner of the Heaven Covering Banner, Qin Mu hurriedly recruited Sima An and others. Spread out the map on the grass by the Weishui River, and everyone discussed countermeasures together.

Gu Junen, the left attendant of the military department, pointed to the map and said: "Your Majesty, Lanzhou has a special location, facing Lintao, Taozhou, Minzhou, and Sichuan in the south. East. Through Jinxian, Tianding and Gongchang, it is the main road for Xijing Chang'an to enter and exit Lanzhou. To the north are Gaolan, Jingyu, Tongjingwei and Hetao. To the northwest, there is the Zhuanglang Fort that Dayan Ozir is attacking. This is the key point for Lanzhou Tongliang Prefecture to enter the Hexi Corridor. Finally, the west is the main road to Xining, which has long been controlled by Bailutuhu, so that Lanzhou's main road to the outside world has been basically cut off by Bailutuhu. ”

Yu Shangyou continued: "Yes, judging from the direction of the enemy's attack, its purpose of capturing the periphery of Lanzhou and turning Lanzhou into an isolated city has been revealed. It is worth worrying that once the men and horses attacking Gaolan to the north succeed, Bailu Tuhu will be able to unite with the Chitaat of the Hetao, cut off all the connections between Guanzhong and the Hexi Corridor, and leave the entire Hexi soldiers and horses alone in a foreign land. ”

Since ancient times, there have been two most important roads from Guanzhong to the Hexi Corridor;

One is the passage from Chang'an to the west, through Fengxiang (Baoji), Qinzhou (Tianshui), Gongchang and Tianding, to Lanzhou. In fact, it is also the route of Qin Mu's westward expansion. This route is basically westbound along Weishui.

The other road is a passage from Chang'an to Liangzhou through Jingzhou, Pingliang, Guyuan in the northwest, and Zhongwei in Ningxia to cross the Yellow River to the west.

Now Bailu Tuhu sent troops to the north to attack Gaolan, if it is captured, and then all the way to the north, it can hit Shouxia Zhongwei (Zhongwei City), that is, the junction of the Hexi Corridor and the Hetao, so as to cut off the other long passage to the Hexi Corridor in Guanzhong, and can also contact with the Chitate of the Hetao, forming a situation of watching and helping each other.

The situation is not optimistic, but Qin Mu also sees hope in it: "Bailu Tuhu is attacking so aggressively, which shows that he has a big plan, and I am afraid that he wants to pocket the entire Longyou." That's what I want to see. ”

Yu Shangyou listened to Qin Mu's words, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and secretly sighed in his heart, for the same thing, the first thing they saw was a crisis, but the first thing the emperor saw was an opportunity.

Of course, as a courtier, you can't give up lightly in a city or a pool, otherwise the impeachment of the imperial officials alone will be enough for them to be unable to bear.

But as an emperor, he can stand at a higher angle and see farther. There is no need to worry about being infamous for the loss of one city and one pool.

Qin Mu then added: "On the other hand, it also proves that Lanzhou is still stable and will not be lost for the time being. ”

Sima An bowed his head and said: "What His Majesty said is very true, if Lanzhou can be attacked, Bailu Tuhu does not need to go to such great lengths. But then again, Bairu Tuhu's courage to divide his forces from all sides also proves that Ma Wannian of Lanzhou is no longer able to fight back. ”

Li Yuan said: "Your Majesty, no matter what, the first line of Ningxia Zhongwei still has to be defended, and the first line of Lanzhou has been cut off by the enemy, so we must save a lifeline for the Hexi Corridor, otherwise I am afraid that the Hexi army will be in turmoil, and Li Dingguo will be defeated." ”

Qin Mu thought for a while and said, "What Elder Li Ge said, do you think that where should troops and horses be dispatched to strengthen the defense of Jingyuan and Qingshui River to Ningxia Zhongwei?" ”

Sima An said: "If Your Majesty is unwilling to use Gao Yigong's department, it seems that now it can only be transferred to Xijing to stay in Qin Yiming's department and the Pingliang and Guyuan garrisons to the north. ”

Li Yuan said a little worriedly: "In this way, how can Xijing be just empty?" In case Su Jin's defense was negligent, Chitate broke through the Shuofang defense line and headed south, looking at the land of Guanzhong, there were no more available soldiers. ”

Qin Mu thought about it, although Qi Ta was bent on running Ningxia first, no one could rule out that he would not take risks and break through the Shuofang defense line and go south to do a vote.

If he really broke into the pass, it would really be a big mess, you must know that the grain and grass of the army in front of you all depend on the transfer of Guanzhong, and as soon as Qitate enters the pass, it will definitely be the first choice for the Qin army's grain road attack.

In order to ensure everything, Qin Mu said: "Since this is the case, then leave Hui Dengxiang to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Qinzhou, and move according to the changes in the battle situation." ”

"So good." Li Yuan praised again and again.

After arranging these, the final topic returned to Lintao Mansion, which was to abandon this strategic town and let the army of Bailutuhu go south. Or do you urgently send reinforcements to block the enemy north of Lintao Mansion?

According to Qin Mu's previous deployment, it was to let Lintao support it for a while, and then withdraw the army and abandon the city, so as to lure the enemy into depth, so as to create an opportunity to encircle and annihilate the main force of Bailu Tuhu.

Sima An said: "Your Majesty, now it seems that the previous battle plan needs to be adjusted urgently, Bailu Tuhu is attacking from all sides, it may not be difficult to annihilate his way all the way, but it is difficult to completely annihilate his tens of thousands of troops." ”

This was also the reason why Qin Mu began to hesitate to give up Lintao.

Previously, the main forces of the Bailutu Tiger were concentrated, and once they abandoned Lintao Mansion, they would definitely pour south and attack Taozhou, Gongchang, and Minzhou.

As the saying goes, if you can use the land of Lintao in exchange for the opportunity to annihilate the army of Bailutuhu, Qin Mu decided to give up Lintao ruthlessly, in exchange for the long-term peace and stability of the entire Longyou and Hexi.

But now that Bailu Tuhu's forces are scattered, even if he gives up Lintao, he may not be able to trap his main force. It's a little worthless to give up Lintao.

But if you don't give up Lintao, what will you use as bait?

Qin Mu was in a dilemma for a while, war is like this, and plans often can't catch up with changes.
