The envoy who went away seemed to know what Yu Lihua was thinking, and the distance, which was far away in the eyes of everyone at the head of Yuxiao Guancheng, suddenly turned his head and looked at Guancheng and smiled slightly.

"Not good! Send a messenger to Longde City, oh no, to the original state capital. ”

Everyone looked at Zhu Lihua, who had just walked down from the city, and didn't know why he suddenly panicked.

Ma Yuan, who was beside him, saw that Lihua was like this, and he immediately panicked, and said a little nervously: "Brother Lili thinks that Rong is cheating. ”

Zhu Lihua nodded, and pulled Ma Yuan to the Guanlou meeting hall. As soon as the two of them entered the door, Zhu Lihua hurriedly said: "Master Ma, if I am not mistaken, the seven passes of Sumeru have been broken. ”

Ma Yuan didn't understand what Li Hua said, thinking that he was not an immortal, how could he know that the other passes had been broken.

But Zhu Lihua saw Ma Yuan's puzzlement, and continued: "Previously, I estimated that the Rong people's plan failed, and the loss of troops to attack Guancheng has already fallen into the next place, but after all, they have an advantage, as long as they don't care about losses, the chance of capturing Yuxiao Pass is still very high.

But when I talked to the envoy and learned that they were about to withdraw their troops, I first thought that perhaps the Rong people had suffered more damage, and that it was just a delaying tactic.

But if you think about it carefully, since the Narong people know the number of soldiers in our Yuxiao Pass, fighting or not fighting is simply a matter of doing whatever they want, so there is no need to negotiate with us at all.

Although I still don't understand why they came to Yuxiao Pass to negotiate peace with us, this time the Rong people will definitely withdraw their troops.

In the past few days, the Rong people have repeatedly attacked our Yuxiao Pass regardless of the damage, as if the focus of breaking the pass is here, although the combination of the inside and outside has not succeeded, but it is not difficult to take it by force, such as how can the withdrawal of troops in such a situation be able to serve the people in the Rong people who have suffered heavy casualties, the only explanation is that other Guancheng has been broken. ”

After that, Zhu Lihua looked at Ma Yuan, whose face was already pale, and sighed.

He then suggested to Ma Yuan that on the one hand, send spies to investigate the movements of the Rong soldiers, and on the other hand, prepare materials and weapons for Yuxiao Pass, and rearrange the defense of Yuxiao Pass, all of which were approved by Ma Yuan with a nod of nod.

Yu Lihua hurriedly walked out of the customs building, and arranged for Gao Yunce and others to quickly handle the investigation and defense related affairs.

And Ma Yuan also wrote a letter about the retreat of the Yuxiao Guan Rong people and the analysis of Yu Lihua and sent someone to the Yuanzhou capital.

......

Two days later, the scouts sent out to investigate the movements of the Rong people came back to report that the Siguan Rong people had all retreated, and they followed the Rong people for more than 40 miles before turning back.

Obviously, the possibility of the Rong people coming back and killing a horse gun is gone.

In the following days, in addition to continuously sending soldiers with better skills to go out to explore the movements of the Rong people, the remaining soldiers were also reorganized in the pass.

After obtaining the important task of full military command of Yuxiao Pass, Zhu Lihua immediately selected 800 remaining soldiers in the pass and divided them into 800 teams, and after mixing the old and new soldiers from the original soldiers, he selected the veterans of the recent battle and the veterans of the Muqi Pass to serve as the commander and the chief.

In addition, Zhu Lihua asked Gao Yunce, Wei Yuanqi, Liang Qingshu, Liu He, Li Ji, Tang Yuan, An Xuzhi and the original Yuxiao Guan Bai General Qi Min to lead eight hundred-man teams respectively.

In fact, these days, the defenders of Yuxiao Pass died and surrendered, the original establishment has long been destroyed beyond recognition, and the original more than ten hundred generals of Yuxiao Pass were also killed in battle, and only four people remained, and three of them were seriously injured.

Zhu Lihua vaguely remembered what Yang He said when he left Yuanzhou City: As soon as the war starts, the hundred generals and even the chief will take the lead, and at the end of the war, the hundred generals can often come back alive less than half of the original.

When she first heard it, she thought it was a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that what Yang He said is still a little conservative.

In wartime, the posts of these 100 generals can generally be appointed by the commanders of each army according to the wartime situation, and then formally appointed by the military dependencies after the war is over.

Therefore, the military report sent by Yuxiao Pass to the General Administration also explained the deeds of the above-mentioned people and the official positions they assigned.

The most difficult thing to do was An Xuzhi, after discussing with him, he asked him to take charge of the army under the pseudonym An Moran.

The reason why he was named Mo Ran is because An Xuzhi once heard Lihua say that he should calm down his anger, suppress it in his heart, and be ready to go.

At that time, Zhu Lihua said: "There are three thousand zhang of anger, all of them are flying flowers, and if you want to cut off the head of the dragon, you must first be a silent person." So An Xuzhi insisted on taking a silent word to remind him that he must not forget the monstrous blood feud in silence.

The matter of pseudonyms is easy to do, but the name An Moran is not registered in the General Administration, which is always a hidden danger.

But Zhu Lihua wanted to wait until he returned to the Yuanzhou Mansion in the future to find a way to find a way, he knew that money could make ghosts grind, and he had been sitting in that mansion for five years.

The generals who knew An Xuzhi in the past have long since disappeared in the war, and Han Yun, who knows An Xuzhi's past, doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

As for the soldiers who know An Xuzhi, there are only the old soldiers of the original Muqi Pass, and after several battles, there are only more than 50 people left, and those who are trustworthy to those people Lihua can trust.

At the suggestion of Yuxiao Pass, Longde City did not send reinforcements to Yuxiao Pass. In fact, as expected by Lihua, after receiving the letter from Yuxiao Pass, Longdecheng sent several groups of scouts to Mishen Pass and Musashi Pass within the jurisdiction of Longdecheng, and found that the Rong people had occupied Musashi Pass, and none of the original 2,000 defenders of the pass escaped.

At this moment, no one cares whether the more than 2,000 people are dead or alive, for more than 500 years, the first time that the seven passes of Sumeru have been broken by the Rong people, this is enough to shake the world.

There are 5,000 defenders in Longde City, and at this time, not only can they not divide troops to help the passes, but even self-protection has become a big problem. The county commander Sun Yucai hurriedly sent someone to send the military intelligence to the Yuanzhou capital, and asked for reinforcements, and also sent the military newspaper to various passes in Longde.

And the nobles in Longde City also began to send their families to the original state capital.

The nobles began to flee, and the people naturally knew that the Rong people had broken through, and tens of thousands of people in Longde City began to become panicked.

When Yuxiao Pass received the military report from Longde City, it had been five days since the Rong people withdrew their troops.

Zhu Lihua took the military newspaper and led Gao Yunce and the eight people to Ma Yuan, and after entering the door, he said to Ma Yuan: "Master Ma, Longde City has sent a military report, and the Rong people have broken through Musashi Pass. ”

Ma Yuan was not surprised, because they had already analyzed what was going to happen, so they asked Zhu Lihua: "Brother Zhu Li, what should we do." ”

Zhu Lihua's eyes were a little gloomy, and he looked at Ma Yuan and said, "Naturally, I am sticking to Yuxiao Pass." I am afraid that the current situation is helpless at the level of the general government. With that, he raised his eyes in the direction of Dongfang Xijing and looked into the distance.

After the people of Yuxiao Pass retreated from the Rong people, Lihua did not send people to reoccupy the Wooden Hedgehog Pass, because the number of people in Yuxiao Pass was too small, and it would not play a role in scattering it, and the Wooden Hedgehog and the Golden Bull Pass were also burned, so they simply left a few people as outposts in the fourth pass, and the rest of the soldiers stayed in the Yuxiao Pass.

After discussing matters such as the garrison of the battle and the recovery of the wounded, it was decided to send several more groups of scouts to inquire about the current situation of the Musashi Kanjung people.

Because Musashi Pass and Yuxiao Pass are approaching, although it is unlikely that the Rong people will turn around and attack Yuxiao Pass, it is better to take precautions as soon as possible.

More importantly, Lu Lihua felt that Longde City was extremely inefficient, and instead of getting news from them, it was better to send someone out to investigate.

Yuxiao Pass is more than 40 miles away from Longde City, although half of the distance is mountainous, but if you speed up the pace, you can reach it in less than a day.

Musashi Pass, on the other hand, is closer to Longde Castle, less than thirty miles, and if you speed up the footsteps, you can reach it in half a day.

However, it has been five days since Yuxiao Pass sent an alarm to Longde City, sent scouts to Longde City, and then reported back to Yuxiao Pass, and this outrageous efficiency made Yu Lihua frightened.

I'm afraid that the Rong army is still at Musashi Pass at this time, which is another story.

As expected by Lihua, at this moment, the army of the Rong people is marching along the Sumeru Mountains from south to north, towards Xiaoguan.

The original plan of the Rong people was to break through the Yuxiao Pass, and directly capture the three counties of Longde, Jingyang, and Wushi in the south of Yuanzhou, and after completely controlling the Yuxiao Pass in their own hands, they could rely on the three counties to attack Yuanzhou in the north, and they could also attack Shubei County in the south.

But they never thought that their plans would be disrupted by encountering Kasashika, so they had to retreat to the next best thing and take Musashi Pass. But after all, Musashi Pass is still sandwiched between Yuxiao Pass and Sumeru North Five Passes, and it is strategically under the north-south attack, and it is not wise to attack Shubei County in the south.

In fact, it is not impossible to take Musashi Pass and then take Yuxiao Pass, but the Rong people specially ordered that the army should not attack Yuxiao Pass, so the Rong people's team could only send troops to Xiao Pass according to the original plan, trying to besiege Xiao Pass before and after, and capture it in one fell swoop.

However, this is indeed much smaller than the original strategic effect, and perhaps it will return to the country as it has been in the past.

But this time he captured Musashi Pass and opened the door of Qin, which is a feat that has not been seen in five hundred years, and if Yao Jun is alive, I am afraid that he will frown.

This Rong Di knock was extremely sudden, and it had never happened in history almost a year in advance, and this year was precisely the preparation period for all aspects of the Qin State's deployment.

Moreover, Zhu Lihua has been in the Yuanzhou General Government for a long time, and he more or less knows some secrets in various counties, and most of the soldiers in these counties are on empty salaries. For example, in Longde County, the original approved strength was 10,000 during the war, and although it is not yet full, the number of soldiers is around seven or eight thousand, but in fact there are probably less than 5,000.

If in the past, the garrison of each pass was two or three thousand, and the three counties of Longde, Jingyang, and Wushi each stationed about 10,000 troops after the pass, and the reinforcements could arrive within one day.

However, this time the situation was different, and the reason in the final analysis was a person, this person had flashed in his mind many times, he stood at the gate and smiled softly, as if the breeze was harmless to people and animals, and he suddenly turned his head to look, and the shouting Rong people behind him were silent.
