After Li Xin's arrangements were made, he began to move westward. Under the overall progress, the officers and soldiers of Huashan seemed very happy, after all, since the start of the war, they have almost had a smooth journey, and they have won several counties without much cost.

Isn't it a good thing to be able to get the maximum benefit with the least loss and the most that all armies are pursuing? And under the successive victories, Li Xin's prestige in the army naturally became higher and higher.

However, when Li Xin and the others were happy, Fu Sheng and the others in Xiangwu County were almost completely unable to sleep. Because they now receive requests for help from many places every day, and the fact that the war has developed to this point is really shocking to them.

"Waste, all waste! Qingshui County was lost, Luoyang County was lost, and even Shangqi Linwei was lost! Fu Huangmei was killed in battle, he was killed in battle, and there were heavy casualties on the front line. Could it be that the Huashan Army was cast from iron to copper? I, a Great Qin soldier, have no enemies? In just a few days, 20,000 troops were lost in a row, and the city was lost! Above the main hall, Fu Sheng swept all the folds on the table to the ground, and was furious.

The ministers below were silent, and no one stood up to speak at this time. They all have a long memory, and when Fu Sheng is angry, it's best not to ask for trouble, if one word is not right, I'm afraid it's a different place.

However, although everyone did not speak, they also understood that the situation was very serious. After all, news from various places is now flying all over Xiangwu County, and it is impossible to hide it. The people in the city were already panicking, and many people were beginning to think of a way out.

"Tell me, what shall we do now?" After getting angry, Fu Sheng remembered what was going on, calmed down for a while, and asked.

"Your Majesty, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for us. The Huashan army came from the east and took almost the entire Luoyang County in a short period of time, if you don't want to find a way to block it, I'm afraid that Li Xin will hit Xiangwu County! Moreover, in the land of Jincheng in the north, under the repeated attacks of Zhang Zuo of Liangzhou, the king of the East China Sea and the king of Qinghe have fought with the enemy many times, but the stalemate of the battle is not too much of a threat to us! Qiu Chi Country in the south, bent on taking the entire Wudu County, that place is also far away from us, and now the whip is beyond reach, so it is better to put it aside. In this way, we only need to concentrate our forces to deal with the Huashan Army all the way! Hearing him ask, Liang Leng, the general of the cavalry, stood up and said.

Since the start of the war, Liangzhou Zhang Zuo's 20,000 cavalry came from the northwest, but ran into Fu Jian's defense line in Jincheng County. Since the strength of the two sides is about the same, and Fu Jian and Fu Fa are not mediocre talents, the Liangzhou generals are not good materials! Therefore, the two hits have been played so far, and it is basically a situation of equal victory.

But in this way, the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou were blocked in the north of Longxi County, and they could not threaten the hinterland of Fu Qin for the time being. And Qiu Chiguo, now except for some soldiers and horses still deployed in the north to defend Tianshui, Nan'an, Longxi and other places, the main force has gone to the southeast to seize Wudu County.

With the strength of Qiu Chi State, swallowing one Wudu County is already using all his strength, not to mention sending troops to attack other counties in Fu Qin. In this way, the only one who can really make Fu Sheng feel imminent danger is naturally Li Xin's Huashan Army.

Especially in today's situation, most of Qinzhou is warning for help, and the threats are all from the Huashan army. In this way, the sense of threat is even more obvious.

"Liang Cheqi is reasonable, as far as the minister knows, Li Xin colluded with Liangzhou and Qiu Chi, and sent troops to attack Daqin in three ways. But among them, the only one who has the most interest in us is Li Xin. As for Zhang Zuo and Qiu Chi, they just saw the immediate benefits. They have no mortal enmity with us, as long as we win the battle with the Huashan army, then these two soldiers and horses will surely retreat immediately! ”

Zhao Ju was originally Shang Shuling, but Lei Qiao'er and others were killed by Fu Sheng before, and he was Zhao Shao's brother, so he naturally gained Fu Sheng's trust. In this way, Zhao Ju actually became a master all of a sudden. And Taifu Maogui, who has just taken office, has become the prime minister! At this moment, Zhao Ju stood up to support Liang Leng.

"What you say is not unreasonable. Under Li Xin's repeated victories, he must be complacent, and he will inevitably invade our county again soon after, and his goal will inevitably be directed at me! However, if we want to defeat him, we don't have enough troops, so what can we do? When Fu Sheng heard it, it was the same reason, but there was still a problem that could not be solved.

"Your Majesty, at this time of life and death, I have to give up some places for the time being. Shichang County and other places, close to Qiuchi, within the counties, there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in them to guard against Qiuchi. Now that Qiu Chi has no spare strength to go north, why don't we gather these soldiers and horses to deal with Li Xin? Shang Shu Ling Liang An suggested at this time.

The army that Fu Qin arranged in the north of Qiuchi State was mainly concentrated in three counties, and there were 3,500 people in Lintao County, Longxi County, the westernmost county, which was in the southeast of the later Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.

In the middle is Xinxing County, the southernmost county of Nan'an County, where there are also 3,000 people. Finally, the easternmost one is Sichang County, which is also the southernmost county among the three counties. Inside are the 3,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Qinzhou Thorn Shi Tie.

These three counties are like a crescent moon with a gap facing downward, blocking the entire southern part of Longxi County, but blocking the road to the north of Qiu Chiguo. The three counties combined have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, although there are many new soldiers, but for today's Fu Qin, this is already a very important force.

"Lord Liang, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate! If the army is withdrawn, what will happen if Qiu Chi is greedy and embezzles several counties? Especially Xinxing County, which is less than two hundred miles away from Xiangwu County, are you not afraid that they will endanger Your Majesty's safety? Hearing this, the right servant shot Dong Rong jumped out and objected, looking worried about Fu Sheng.

"Xinxing County certainly can't give up! I'm talking about the two counties of Shichang and Lintao! If Qiu Chi really got the land of these two counties, he would immediately approach the Huashan army. In this way, do you say that Qiu Chi will give up these two counties or not? Wouldn't it be beneficial for us to let the Huashan Army compete with Qiu Chi for profit? Besides, as long as we solve the Huashan Army, are we afraid that these two counties will not be able to get it back? Master Dong is a little too timid! If this plan doesn't work, please ask Master Dong to come up with a solution by himself! For Dong Rong, Liang An didn't have a good face, glanced at him contemptuously, and said coldly.

"Okay, Liang Shangshu is right, Dong Rong is also concerned about my safety, let's get down to business! Even according to Shang Shuling, it was only 10,000 troops, and then all the active troops from the surrounding counties were mobilized, at most 20,000 people. If you want to deal with Li Xin of Huashan Army, I'm afraid it's not enough! In my opinion, we should immediately recruit the people and strengthen the army. Before Li Xin could fight, he must recruit 20,000 troops. In this way, there is an army of 40,000, and it is more certain to deal with Li Xin! Fu Sheng saw that the two seemed to be arguing, so he spoke.

"Your Majesty, the newly recruited soldiers, I'm afraid they won't be able to go into battle to kill the enemy, just let them go to death! They are all His Majesty's people, how can this be? Hearing this, Prime Minister Mao Gui hurriedly dissuaded.

"As my people, I should live and die as a king! If the prime minister has no other good way, it can only be like this! Fu Sheng listened, and couldn't help but say coldly.

"Your Majesty, the newly recruited soldiers are not trained, once they go into battle to face the fierce Huashan army, if they are defeated before fighting, I am afraid that the overall situation will be messed up. According to the minister's view, now that the imperial court is in danger, it is better to let the Taiwei bring the troops back to support first. As for Anding County and other places, give up for the time being, and it is important to keep the imperial court first! "Recruiting new soldiers, this is a matter of labor and money, in today's stormy situation, if you do this again, I am afraid that if you don't wait for the Huashan Army to fight, you will perish first. Therefore, Zuo Servant shot Duan Chun hurriedly stood up and changed the topic.

Taiwei is Fu Sheng's younger brother Fu Liu, since Fu Sheng became the emperor, this Taiwei position can naturally no longer be used, so Fu Liu took over. Now, he led a large army to guard the northwest of Anding County, in case the Huashan army went north along Longguan, and Hu Tian's opponent was him!

"Duan Servant's words are reasonable, we are now the time to employ people, Anding County is remote and cannot be effectively controlled. If the imperial court loses, it is not much use to keep these places. It's better to transfer the Taiwei soldiers and horses back to defend against the enemy, and solve Li Xin first! Moreover, now Hu Tianzheng, the general of the Huashan Army, led his troops to attack Liupanguan, Dulu, Wushi, Chaona and other counties! If these places are temporarily ceded to the other party, the other party will inevitably leave a large number of soldiers and horses to garrison, so that Li Xinlai will not have many soldiers and horses to attack Longxi, which is more conducive to our annihilation. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks? Liang Leng continued.

"Okay, what Aiqing said is very agreeable. Since this is the case, immediately draw up an order, transfer these armies back, and fight Li Xin to the death! "I have to say that one person is short, everyone is long, and after the discussion of the ministers, they actually found a way out. Fu Sheng, who was already in a hurry, got this suggestion at this time, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was feasible, and quickly agreed.

In the end, this is nothing more than a strategic contraction, pooling limited forces together. For a small court like Fu Qin, with few troops and a large territory, there is no problem in peacetime, but once there is a problem, it will inevitably face a situation of scarcity between the left and the right.

Although everyone understands that after this retreat, many counties will inevitably have to be abandoned, but between the territory and the court, the latter has always been chosen. Think about how many of the later dynasties in history did so.

Of course, if this trick is used well, it can have the effect of turning things around, and if it is not used well, I am afraid it will accelerate its demise! Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
