Chapter 404: Fiasco (1)

When he arrived at the summer city of the state administration office, he was quite surprised to see Liu Zhigu.

Liu Zhigu sits in the place as Xiangguo, what a high position, now that the war has broken out, a figure like him should be in Liangzhou or Suzhou, in the rear, but now he is on the front line of the war.

Zhao Feidu is very helpless now, he is the governor of Langzhou, the deputy envoy of the Jiedu of Longyou North Province, the state is his military territory, he should be the military chief, now, Xu Chengliang is here, Liu Zhigu is also here, these two people are far above him in terms of official position and prestige, Zhao Feidu, the protagonist, has now become a supporting role.

Moreover, the Tubo raided Shanzhou, almost broke through the city, and the general Yu Heng, who defended the city, sent people to ask for help after repelling the enemy army, Liu Zhigu immediately ordered Zhao Feidu to lead 5,000 soldiers to Shanzhou, and Yu Heng joined forces to defend Shanzhou.

And just yesterday, the latest news came that Gewa had gathered 100,000 troops again, with a large number of supplies and siege equipment, and was already approaching Broken Dragon Fort.

Li Xun looked at the map on the table, and the whole person fell into deep thought.

After staring at it for a long time, Li Xun raised his head and said to Liu Zhigu: "Lord Xiangguo, Tubo's intention is already obvious, besieging the state, trapping our main force here, and then attacking Langzhou and Shanzhou with a huge advantage in troops. ”

Xu Chengliang said on the side: "The strange thing is that the Tubo army besieging the state is actually stationed twenty miles away, and it is not too aggressive, is he not afraid that we will adjust the military deployment?" ”

Li Xun glanced at him and didn't speak.

Xu Chengliang is a person, Li Xun knows a little, because Sima Zhong is very familiar with this person, and the two have known each other for a long time.

Xu Chengliang was born in the army, but his martial arts strategy can only be regarded as very general, at first he was a subordinate of Liu Wei, and later became Sima Zhong's deputy, and then he was Gan Qian's deputy, until he finally became the Jiedu envoy of Longyou South Road, nearly sixty years old, and finally survived to the feudal officials who sat on one side.

But it's a pity that his dream didn't last for a few days, because Wang Renzizi was appointed as the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Longyou Province, and was given the right to hold the festival and act cheaply.

Xu Chengliang and Wang Renzi, although they are one martial artist and one literate, have nothing to do with each other, but Wang Renzizi is regarded as Xiangguo after all, whether it is qualifications or prestige, it is not comparable to Xu Chengliang, even the comparison of family fame, Xu Chengliang is not comparable to Wang Renzi, Wang Renzi, as the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Longyou Province, although he does not have the right to transfer troops, but he has the right to supervise, and the military supplies and logistics supply of the entire Longyou Province are all in the hands of Wang Renzi, and the 15,000 troops in Suzhou are between Wang Renzizi and Xu Chengliang's orders, The former is often chosen, so although Xu Chengliang is the envoy of Longyou South Province, the actual military power in his hands is only more than 5,000 people, and even if it is more than 5,000 people, the awe and respect for Wang Renzizi surpasses that of him Xu Chengliang.

Therefore, Xu Chengliang took office as the envoy of Longyou South Province, the mood was very depressed, after taking office, more than a month, was depressed into a disease, and then fell ill, and in the case of a long time of treatment, he had to return to Fengjing to recuperate, this recuperation, that is, more than two years, until three months ago, the condition was almost better, under the urging of Zhao Zhi, this was helpless to return to Longyou, who knew that he was not happy for a few days, Tubo came, the war broke out again, Xu Chengliang shouted in his heart, why is his life so bad?

Xu Chengliang's ability is very mediocre, the reason why Zhao Zhi reuses him is very simple, although Zhao Zhi reuses Wang Renzi, but in terms of trust, he trusts Xu Chengliang even more, so while appointing Wang Renzizi as the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Longyou Province, appointing Xu Chengliang as the envoy of the Longyou South Province is to let the two contain each other and guard against each other, which is Zhao Zhi's consistent means.

After Xu Chengliang said this, Gu Yong on the side also glanced at him, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then said: "Tubo besieges but does not attack, far away from the city twenty miles away, just hope that we can come out of the city, once we are out of the city, there is no place to defend them, they will definitely choose to attack immediately, Tubo has an advantage in numbers, once there is a war in the wilderness, we are more likely to be defeated." ”

Zhao Feidu nodded and agreed with Gu Yong: "General Gu is right, we can't act rashly. ”

Xu Chengliang's original task was to garrison Minzhou and supply the state, Langzhou and other places with logistics and military resources, but after Liu Zhigu arrived, he felt that the number of defenders in the state was too small to resist the 100,000 army of Tubo, so he passed the letter to Wang Renzizi, asked for support, and set an example for himself, transferred 10,000 troops in Liangzhou, and came to the state in person. It still has to be done by Liu Zhigu and Wang Renzi.

Li Xun looked at Gu Yong and asked, "General Gu, what are your plans?" ”

Among these people, Xu Chengliang's ability is average, Zhao Feidu, Li Xun has also dealt with him, and his ability is even worse, Liu Zhigu is a civilian official, and he is probably not very good at military affairs, only Gu Yong, who has good ability.

Gu Yong arched his hand at Liu Zhigu and said, "Let's ask Lord Xiangguo to talk about it." ”

Li Xun's eyes looked at Liu Zhigu, who smiled and said: "The situation is actually in our hands, Qin Anming sent an envoy to Momeng, the effect is very good, he has two days ago, the news has been delivered, Hohe Ba Ri has promised, no matter what happens in Longyou, Momeng will never make any moves, and send a messenger to return to Fengjing with Qin Anming, and the Liao State and the Great Jin Dynasty have signed a friendship alliance." ”

Gu Yong answered at this time: "Ma Wu, the envoy of Anbei Jiedu, is gathering soldiers and preparing to come to support. ”

"In that case, why are you in such a hurry to let me lead the army? As long as the state is not lost, even if Shanzhou is breached, will Tubo still dare to go deeper? ”

Li Xun nodded, if this is the case, the situation is indeed good for the Great Jin, what is there for Liu Zhigu and the others to be anxious about?

Liu Zhigu shook his head and sighed: "Qin Anming and the envoy of Momeng, just entered Huizhou, return to Fengjing, it will take two or three days, before the alliance is not concluded, Ma Wu will not dare to easily lead the army to leave Anbei, the transmission of news back and forth, it will take at least half a month, now, the state defenders are 30,000, I am ready to order Zhao Feidu to lead 5,000 people to support Shanzhou, in this way, there are only 25,000 people left, Langzhou 10,000, Shanzhou 7,000, Tubo is now 100,000 troops are approaching, there are 100,000 troops behind him, and they will arrive in a few days. It adds up to 200,000 troops, five times as many as us, the situation is not good, we need time. ”

After saying this, Liu Zhigu said to Li Xun in a deep voice: "Longyou's overall situation, you have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

Li Xun nodded silently: "Liu Xiangguo, don't worry, I will return to Wuzhou immediately, gather soldiers and horses, and within five days, I will definitely lead the army to come." ”
