During the period of Wuzong, the rise of the Great Stone Empire in West Asia, and countless countries, and finally the soldiers until the Western Regions, at that time, the Great Jin Dynasty, there were male lords and holy emperors, and there were virtuous ministers and famous generals, and the national strength was also at its peak.

The two empires broke out in the Western Regions, after several battles, the Dashi Empire had no choice but to retreat, and the two countries concluded a friendship treaty, although this kind of treaty was only verbal, but how powerful the Great Jin was at that time, the Dashi Empire did not dare to break the contract easily.

After the death of Wuzong, Yizong succeeded to the throne, mediocre and talentless, and neglected the government, so that the border force was abolished, and the control of the countries in the Western Regions began to weaken, and the situation once again showed signs of chaos, seeing this scene, the Dashi Empire made a comeback again, and defeated the military power of the Great Jin in the Western Regions in one fell swoop, until Suzhou stopped, with five hundred miles from north to south of Ganzhou as the boundary, and then sixty or seventy years, although there was friction from time to time, but there was no big war, after all, for the Dashi Empire, the Great Jin was too far away, Their main energy is not here.

After listening to Li Zhong's words, everyone looked at each other, the land of the seven states south of Longyou, since Yizong to the present, has fallen for more than 80 years, and in the subconscious of many people, it is no longer the land of the Great Jin, and the two have been fundamentally separated.

Ma Wu also showed a look of shock, Li Zhong's thinking jumped too broadly, where could he keep up, he was still thinking about how to repel Tubo, but Li Zhong's ambition had already covered the entire Longyou.

Li Zhong looked at Ma Wu and said with a light smile: "Ma Wu, what do you think is the real intention of Tufan's dispatch this time?" ”

"Although Tufan Zampu has been on the throne for five years, he is quite young and his foundation is not solid.

Tufan's intention to send troops to attack the Great Jin Dynasty has long been determined by the imperial court, and Ma Wu also agrees with this point of view very much.

"You're right."

Li Zhong smiled faintly, turned around and walked to the map, picked up a long pole, pointed to Shanzhou, and everyone gathered around.

"Tufan's attack this time, it seems to be violent, but in fact, it has a degree, if they really have the heart to have a long time with my Dajin, 50,000 troops can contain Huang Zhen outside Langzhou City, gather the remaining 250,000 troops to attack Shanzhou, Yuwen Zhen only has 25,000 defenders in his hands, even if the city is strong, in the face of ten times the enemy, I am afraid it will not be able to hold for a few days, the war has been fought for so many days, in the face of Tufan's superior forces, Huang Zhen and Yu Wenzhen have not sent people to you for help, it can be seen that their pressure is not great, what is the reason?"

After hearing this, Li Xun nodded again and again, feeling that Li Zhong's analysis was extremely powerful, and he couldn't help but speak: "It seems that Tufan Zan Puyi is no longer breaking the city and expanding the land, and his subordinates are also perfunctory, and they are unwilling to attack the city with all their might. ”

Li Zhong put down the long pole in his hand, turned around, glanced at Li Xun, and nodded with a smile: "This general has said a lot. ”

Ma Wu asked softly, "What are the plans of the marshal?" ”

Li Zhong didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Ma Wu, do you remember Zhang Zhongjing?" ”

Zhang Zhongjing?

Ma Wu thought for a while, patted his forehead, and finally remembered: "It is said that this person likes to travel around, Mobei Monan, Annan Cham, Southwest Ailao, Tufan and even Funan Dynasty have all been there, and I have never heard from him when I traveled to the Western Regions fifteen years ago." ”

"He's already back, and he's gone directly to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to bring me back important news."

Li Zhongshuang continued: "Since the sudden death of the Emperor of the Dashi Empire ten years ago, in order to compete for the throne, the kings of the country have caused trouble and fought each other, and the war has continued, and now it has been divided, and most of the 300,000 troops stationed in the Western Regions have been transferred back to China to participate in the struggle for the throne.....

After Li Zhong's detailed explanation, everyone had a general understanding of the situation in the Western Regions, which was very simple, the emperor of the Dashi Empire died violently ten years ago, without making a will, the kings with military power in order to compete for the throne, you kill me, I kill you, ten years, the throne changed people seven times, and now the emperor's name is Ahipoli, the former governor of the Western Regions, after winning the throne, in order to stabilize the domestic situation, he drew troops from the Western Regions to return to China, and reused Han generals to form 30,000 Han troops to assist Dashi soldiers to guard all parts of the Western Regions, When Zhang Zhongjing returned to the Great Jin Dynasty and passed through the Western Regions, Ma Wencheng, a general of the Han army, found him and asked him to bring news to Li Zhong, explaining the current situation in the Western Regions, and if Li Zhong had the heart to regain his homeland, he was willing to help.

Speaking of this, Li Zhong's eyes brightened, and his emotions were also a little excited, and he said loudly: "Now that Tufan has recovered his vitality, there are hundreds of thousands of elite people with armor, if they shrink to the plateau, there are such strong enemies in the rear, even if there is a great opportunity in front of us, we can only look forward and sigh, now that we have sent it to the door, Longyou is expected to recover, such a good opportunity, if we let it go, we will definitely leave a reputation in history..."

Li Zhong said so much, and everyone vaguely understood.

Ma Wu asked, "What does the big marshal want to do?" ”

Li Zhong said in a deep voice: "Since you are here, then don't go, and leave all the 300,000 troops of Tufan here." ”

Everyone's hearts were shocked, worthy of being the first general of the Great Jin, such courage does have the potential to swallow mountains and rivers.

Ma Wu listened to the blood boiling, after so many years, his old boss still hasn't changed, either don't do it, or do it if you want to do it.

Ma Wu arched his hand and said: "Ma Wu is willing to obey the dispatch, and the marshal will give the order." ”

"We are willing to obey the commander's command."

Seeing everyone's statement, Li Zhong finally had a happy smile on his face, he said so much, just to persuade everyone and listen to his dispatch, the reason is very simple, although Ma Wu used to be his subordinate, but now he is also a big member, and he is not under his jurisdiction, so he doesn't need to listen to his orders at all, if Ma Wu is unwilling to take risks, Li Zhong can only do anything about it even if his prestige is high.

Li Zhong patted Ma Wu on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Immediately order Huang Zhen and Yu Wenzhen to abandon Langzhou and Shanzhou, and lead the troops to come to Liangzhou to assemble." ”

"The last general immediately ordered Huang Zhen and Yu Wenzhen to abandon the city and return to Liangzhou."

Ma Wu pondered for a while, and finally nodded emphatically, giving up Langzhou and Shanzhou without authorization, once the battle was lost, his Ma Wu's head would definitely not be guaranteed, but Ma Wu believed in Li Zhong and believed that under his leadership, this battle would definitely achieve brilliant results.

Li Zhong said: "You immediately evacuate the people in the city, and after Huang Zhen and Yu Wenzhen lead the troops, immediately abandon Liangzhou and retreat to Huizhou." ”

Ma Wu heard the meaning of Li Zhong's words, and said in surprise: "Dashuai is not with us?" ”

Li Zhong sneered: "I will be the leader of the army to cut off the back road of Tufan, so that he will not be able to return home." ”
