When Leng Feng and the others entered the city, Zhang Fan was hurrying to the city gate.

Seeing that Leng Feng and the others had already entered the city, Zhang Fan's face was already flushed when he dismounted: "It's too late to greet the lowly position, and I hope that the king of the country and the river will forgive his sins!" ”

Li Xiaogong recognized Zhang Fan, waved his hand and said, "Don't be like a literati." ”

Seeing that Leng Feng didn't mean to blame, Zhang Fan put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "I am dealing with those cements, and I came a little late. ”

Not only him, Li Xiaogong also looked at Leng Feng strangely.

Leng Feng pointed to the city wall behind him: "This kind of city wall is enough for defense on weekdays, but the current situation is too bad, so I am going to increase the height of these city walls." Gaochang can be defended or lost, but Jiayuguan cannot, so I want to build Jiayuguan into a concrete barrier to make the enemy sigh. ”

Li Xiaogong nodded. Although the height of the walls of Jiayuguan can resist an ordinary attack, if the enemy is determined to attack regardless of casualties, it will also fall.

Just as he discussed with Leng Feng and Li Jing before, Gaochang can do anything, and Jiayuguan must not be lost.

If Jiayu Pass is broken, then the battlefield in the northwest will have to be directly defeated.

Zhang Fan also knew about the world's attack on Tang, and he couldn't help but say to Leng Feng: "Protector of the country, can you transfer your humble post to Gaochang?" ”

The appointment of the emperor cannot be changed, and now he can only wait for the appointment of the protector to come down, and ask the protector to transfer him over.

After becoming the head of the march of Longyou Dao, Leng Feng is in power in the northwest, and he can do whatever he wants. Transferring a defender to the front of the formation is naturally not a problem.

Leng Feng glanced at him and asked, "Why?" You should know that Gaochang is the main battlefield, the pressure is the greatest, and there is even a danger of death, so you can't defend Jiayuguan? ”

Zhang Fan said seriously: "If you want to gain military merits, go further, and even get a knighthood, only in Gaochang can you have the greatest chance." ”

He did not hide his desire to go further, and the martial artist preferred to be direct compared to the literati.

Cold fronts don't hate positive people.

"In that case, then I made a note of it, and if it is suitable, I will transfer you to Gaochang."

Zhang Fan nodded, but the Protector didn't agree, as he expected.

However, it is already good that the Protector is willing to give him a chance.

After instructing the soldiers to start resting, Leng Feng went to the warehouse and looked at the cement.

The cement is produced by Hao Wencai's cement factory and is of high quality. Merchants in this era may hack you in terms of price, but the quality of goods will never be shoddy.

Clapping his hands, Leng Feng said to Zhang Fan: "Let's strengthen and raise the city wall from tomorrow, the cement is not enough, and it can be transported again." ”

Zhang Fan took the order, and at the same time looked at these cements, and secretly said in his heart that the protector of the country was really wealthy.

As far as he knew, the cement was bought out of his own pocket and used in the construction of the city wall.

But he didn't know that Leng Feng didn't care about money, but even more about how many people would die in this war.

An army of 120,000 suffered 20,000 losses after the war, which is less.

This is the first time he has led so many people, and as one of the commanders, it is his duty to reduce the casualties of soldiers.

Three days later, the later Cheng Chuhei, Guo Xiaoke, and Changsun Chong also arrived.

They each brought 10,000 troops, plus more than 20,000 brought by Leng Feng first, Jiayuguan originally had 10,000 defenders, and Jiayuguan already had 60,000 troops at this time.

Cheng Chuhei and eldest grandson Chong have also experienced under the arrangement of his fathers over the years.

Lao Cheng was not prepared to let his children transfer to civilian jobs from the beginning, and Changsun Chong was deliberately arranged by Changsun Wuji to the military. From now on, no knighthood without military merit, although it is not absolute, but it is much easier for the military to get a knighthood than a civilian official after all. Although it was troublesome, the eldest grandson Wuji could only bring his family members closer to the military again.

Guo Xiaoke used to be a general, but he was appointed by Li Shimin to Songzhou as an assassin, although he worked as a civilian for a period of time, but he still did not destroy his martial artist character, standing there with his armor and armor, he had the bearing of a general.

When everyone arrived, they were not in a hurry to go to Gaochang, so Leng Feng gathered everyone together and prepared to get the appointment first.

In addition to Gaochang and Jiayuguan, Dunhuang is also a must-keep place.

Before this, the emperor had transferred Xue Rengui to Dunhuang, but Dunhuang was guarded by one person, which was still worse.

Moreover, Dunhuang had only 10,000 troops.

After everyone gathered, Leng Feng knocked on the table: "I know that you all want to go to Gaochang to get military merits, but there is only one opportunity, and those who don't get it will inevitably feel resentful." I told you that you can complain about me, but if you delay your duties, your head will not fall off when you return to Chang'an. ”

Everyone nodded in unison.

Seeing that no one objected, Leng Feng said: "First of all, Dunhuang, this place is very stable, and it will not be involved in war under normal circumstances. Chen Ming, you take your people to Dunhuang, although the distance is relatively far, but it can protect your workshop well. ”

Chen Ming nodded, he had no opinion.

"In addition.... Cheng Chuhei, you take 10,000 soldiers and horses to Dunhuang, and guard Dunhuang with Xue Rengui. ”

Cheng Chuhei was dissatisfied: "Protector, you didn't take my father into account in this arrangement, how do I feel that you are protecting me?" ”

Leng Feng smiled and shook his head: "I haven't finished yet, you are a reserve in Dunhuang, and you will have 10,000 people in Dunhuang who have been in a state of combat readiness, not to mention that you have to transport newly made gunpowder weapons to Jiayuguan and Gaochang, that is, the battlefield has changed, and you still have to travel thousands of miles to help various places, do you still think Dunhuang is stable?" ”

"Overall, it's a job with a broken leg, huh?"

Cheng Chusi nodded and said, "Then I'll go!" ”

Although it is not a big pass in Gaochang, the credit for this laborious duty is not ordinarily large.

"As for Jiayuguan...."

Leng Feng glanced at the audience, and then asked Li Xiaogong: "King Hejian, who do you think is suitable?" ”

Li Xiaogong said directly: "Guo Xiaoke and Changsun Chong, Guo Xiaoke has been a thorn and is skilled in handling local food, and Changsun Chong can be civil and martial, similar to Guo Xiaoke, the two of them can manage Jiayuguan well." ”

Guo Xiaoke didn't care if he could go to the front line, and directly agreed to come down.

Changsun Chong has no opinion, he didn't expect that he would come to the Northwest Battlefield, but his former mentor and his father have secretly quarreled in recent years, and he just wants to reduce his sense of existence when he is caught in the middle.

"For the rest, just follow me to Gaochang, and say in advance, Gaochang is a dead place, and it's too late for you to regret it now."

Zhang Fan patted his chest: "Rest assured, Protector of the Country, we are not wrecks, what if we die in battle?" ”

Leng Feng nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, starting tomorrow, you have to take on your responsibilities." I am in Gaochang, after the war broke out, it was impossible for communication to be transmitted, and when the time came, you could make your own decisions about some small matters, and I would take care of anything for you. ”

Hearing Leng Feng say this, Guo Xiaoke and the others were completely relieved.

With the words of the protector, they can let go of their hands and feet.

Although the battlefield in the northwest is the most dangerous place in Datang, danger and opportunity coexist, not to mention, with the initiative of the protector of the country, they can give full play to their strength.
