"They?" Yuan Shu frowned.

"Not bad!" Jia Xu smiled lightly: "Ma Teng is the assassin, and Fa Zheng, Yang Xiu, and Zhuge Jin are in charge of internal affairs. ”

Yuan Shu thought for a moment, and suddenly understood what Jia Xu meant. Fa Zheng, as a person from Xiliang and the prince of a local wealthy family, is indeed a suitable candidate. And Yang Xiu, anyway, is also the son-in-law of the Yang family, the first family in Kansai, and some local snakes in Xiliang will give him face. The last Zhuge Jin is a long-sleeved dancer, a top diplomat in this era, and it is indeed overkill to stay in Jiangdong, and it is very suitable to deal with all kinds of complex relations in Liangzhou.

"Well, they are indeed the most suitable candidates, so do as you wish." Yuan Shu nodded.

"Yes!"

Jia Xu was slightly happy in his heart, he was also paving the way for Fa Zheng and Yang Xiu. These two boys are also close to him anyway, one is his apprentice and the other is his nephew. If you let these two boys stay in the south, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get ahead, after all, there are too many capable ministers under Yuan Shu, even if these two little ones have good abilities, but their identity and status are inferior, how can they get ahead?

So Jia Xu found such an opportunity for them to govern Xiliang. Xiliang itself is sparsely populated, the land is barren, and there is no room for development, which is suitable for two small hands. Anyway, with Zhuge Jin in check, there will be no big mess.

The main role of Xiliang here is to provide horses and cavalry for Yuan Shu, and as a base to connect with the Western Regions, so that Yuan Shu can do something about the Western Regions next. As long as there are no big mistakes, the speed of development does not affect anything at all.

Jia Xu's little selfishness naturally couldn't escape Yuan Shu's eyes, but didn't Yuan Shu want to train these boys and give them a chance to get ahead?

Glancing at Xu Shu, who was the last one on the left side with a look of envy, the corners of Yuan Shu's mouth hooked: "There are a lot of wars in Xiliang, by the way, leave Yuan Zhi behind, the four of them are more secure together." ”

Xu Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Shu, thank you, lord." ”

Xu Shu was born as a ranger, although his personality has converged a lot over the years, but his competitive and ruthless heart has not disappeared. In Lumen Academy, he studied the art of war and strategy, and he only dabbled in internal affairs, and the battlefield was his destination.

The south is stable, not to mention the enemy, even the bandits have been wiped out. It is naturally a good place for the people, but for Xu Shu, it is a useless place for heroes. If he wants to make contributions and be reused, Xiliang, who is in chaos, is his best stage.

"Report!"

While everyone was eating lunch, the herald hurriedly burst in, bringing in a cold wind.

Yuan Shu couldn't help but shudder, and tightened the robe draped on his body. He used to be not afraid of the cold, but after staying in the south for a long time, he didn't feel very used to coming to Xiliang for a while, especially in this cold winter.

"Report to the general, the traces of Han Sui's army have been found in the front, and there are spies around our army camp." The spy's words were concise and to the point, and as soon as the words fell, the movements in the hands of all the generals present stopped.

"Lord, please fight!" Wei Yan jumped out quickly and said eagerly. The movement was too fast, and the table in front of him, along with the food on it, was knocked to the ground.

Jia Xu saw the food scattered all over the place, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he secretly glanced at Wei Yan unkindly.

Wei Yan didn't realize that he had been targeted by an old fox at all, and at this time, he was extremely excited in his heart, and it was a good time to make meritorious contributions! Wei Yan was belligerent, better fame and fortune, and always wanted to suppress Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao made a great contribution in Youzhou some time ago, and the combat power shown in the decisive battle in Northern Xinjiang made everyone in the world dumbfounded, compared to Wei Yan's performance was too ordinary, he was eager to make great achievements and prove himself.

Yuan Shu saw Wei Yan's anxious appearance, and he was speechless in his heart, he hadn't found out what the situation was, why are you in such a hurry? Ignoring Wei Yan, he said directly to the spy: "What is the specific situation?" ”

"There is about a cavalry of about 30,000 in front of our army, and there are also several cavalry in the rear, the number is uncertain, it should be those cavalry who recently attacked the grain transportation team in the rear of our army. They did not rush into battle, they just wandered around, presumably watching the situation of our army. ”

"It seems that Han Sui is jumping off the wall in a hurry this time, and he wants to fight to the death with us here!" Yuan Shu said softly.

"Lord, if Han Sui doesn't move, this move will be easy for us to do, there are only more than 60,000 troops in the full battle, and our troops are twice as large as the other party, so we can easily win the battle." Guo Jiadao.

"My lord! A certain is willing to lead the army to destroy the enemy, if he is not victorious, let the lord punish him! Wei Yan jumped out again.

"Wen Chang, don't worry!" Yuan Shu frowned and said, "Fengxiao, what do you think Han Sui is going to do?" If the golden city is not defended and takes the initiative to attack, does he think that he can defeat us by relying on cavalry? ”

Guo Jia shook his head slightly: "Han Sui is planning to delay time and find opportunities, he knows that he can't defend the Golden City." ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "But this is just right, the loss of storming Jincheng is too great, since Han Sui wants to find an opportunity, we will give him a chance." ”

"How?"

Jia Xu looked at Wei Yan in the tent with a smile, and his tone was kind: "It's up to General Wei." ”

Seeing the smile on the corner of Jia Xu's mouth, Wei Yan suddenly felt a chill on his back, and his excited expression suddenly froze on his face. Miserable!

The people around glanced at Wei Yan sympathetically, and unconsciously distanced themselves from this goods, this goods were targeted by Jia Xu, and it was a tragedy!

......

Outside the camp, Han Sui stood on a high slope in the distance, raising his horsewhip and pointing at the layout of Yuan Shu's army.

"My lord, according to our temptation a few days ago, the strength of the two wings of Yuan Shu's army is about thirty or forty thousand, while the Chinese army is surrounded by fifty or sixty thousand troops, and most of them are crossbowmen, accompanied by chariots and heavy infantry. The other side is to imitate the original battle of Northern Xinjiang and Jieqiao, intending to use the battle formation to deal with our cavalry. Yang Qiu said solemnly.

Han Sui pointed to the dense camp in the distance and said: "The layout of the opponent's forces is very concentrated, the whole army is in a goose-shaped formation, and a large number of troops are arranged in the Chinese army, and once we attack the Chinese army, we will inevitably be surrounded by the armies on both wings, which is tantamount to self-destruction, so we can only start from the two wings." ”

"It's impossible to behead him, I've long heard that Yuan Shu is cautious, and it's really better to be famous than to meet, be cautious like this, tsk." Zhang Heng said disdainfully.

"This also leaves us with a flaw. The goose-shaped formation was originally used for roundabout outflanking, and the protection of the Chinese army was indeed tight, but instead, the defense on both sides would be much weaker. Generally, cavalry is arranged on both sides, and once it is concentrated on attack, it can be quickly evacuated, but Yuan Shu is arranged on both sides of the infantry pawns. The experienced Han Sui saw the flaws at a glance.

"How is the combat strength of the armies on both sides?" Han Sui asked.

"Not weak." Yang Qiu spit out two words.

Han Sui glanced at him puzzled: "And then?" ”

Yang Qiu's face was embarrassed: "Lord, the enemy's bow and arrow range is too long, and it is difficult for us to get close at all." In order to avoid too much loss, I failed to test deeply. ”

"Long range? How far can it be? Han Sui frowned.

"Thirty percent longer than our bows and arrows, otherwise we wouldn't be helpless." Yang Qiudao.

"It seems that Yuan Highway is well prepared!" Han Sui muttered.

Huang Zhong's talent for the legion and the well-made bows and arrows made the range of the bows and arrows of the soldiers under Yuan Shu far exceed that of the Western Liang army, which made it difficult for the Western Liang army's cavalry to play a role.

"Lord, this army is completely like a hedgehog, we have nowhere to speak!" Yang Qiu sighed lightly.

"Not necessarily!" Han Sui smiled at the corner of his mouth, as if he had a bamboo in his chest.
