"This..." Chun Yuqiong didn't dare to ask for an official position by herself, so she hurriedly surrendered her hand: "It's all up to the lord." ”

"Will you go to the place?" Yuan Xi said: "Since the fall of Goguryeo, there is a lack of generals who can fight well, and the military of Goguryeo is also a mess, I hope you will rectify it." I will make you the governor of Goguryeo. ”

Yuan Xi is still ready to use Chun Yuqiong.

Because he found that Chun Yuqiong didn't seem to be a wine bag and rice bag, he still had some skills. At least it's more powerful than Jiao Touch, He Mao, etc. It can be seen from guarding the Huguan Pass that he is enough to serve as the governor of Goguryeo.

"Governor?"

Chun Yuqiong was shocked. He knew that the governors under Yuan Xi had great powers, and most of them were in charge of the military and political affairs of a state. For example, Jiao Touch, the governor of Youzhou, and He Mao, the governor of North Korea, which one is not a general who holds real power?

More importantly, the generals who can be in charge of a state must be the one Yuan Xi trusts the most.

Even Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jaw did not go to office.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi actually gave him the position of governor of Goguryeo.

Chun Yuqiong bowed again and again: "The last general will thank the lord, and the last general will definitely fulfill his duties and serve his life loyally!" He thought to himself that this was much stronger than under Yuan Shang's hands. Yuan Shang's merger will be destroyed in a blink of an eye, but fortunately, he is witty.

"Well, after you go to Goguryeo, you have to ask more about Choi Yan of North Korea and Chen Deng of Youzhou. You don't have to get involved too much in governing the place, just take care of the military. ”

"The last will obey."

"There you go." Yuan Xi waved his hand gently.

"No." Chun Yuqiong turned to leave.

After he left, Zhang Jaw ran in: "Lord, why did you give him the governor of Goguryeo?" Aren't you afraid of his rebellion? Chun Yu Qiong is a general who has defected from the battlefield. For him, there is not much concern about judging the Lord or not. ”

"If I have to think so clearly about everything and study every general, then who else can I trust? According to you, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Ban, etc., can't be trusted, but after they arrived, didn't they also do a good job? Although Chun Yuqiong came over on the verge of defection, he might as well give him a chance. After all, he has served my Yuan family since ten years ago, I can't be ruthless and unjust, right? ”

Yuan Xi got up and said, "Besides, when we enter the Central Plains in the future, we will meet many generals like this." If they are not reused, or even suspected, will they surrender in battle? ”

"It's called buying horse bones, and you'll understand later."

"The lord is far-sighted..." Zhang Jaw seemed to understand Yuan Xi's intentions.

If you want to conquer the world, you should have a big picture.

.............................

Yuan Shang took a turn in Taihang Mountain and returned to his hometown Jinyang.

Gao Gan sent someone to say that he had fallen for Jiao Touch's plan, lost 15,000 elite soldiers and horses, and wanted Yuan Shang to make up another 20,000.

Yuan Shang was angry: "How can I have soldiers and horses for him now?" Huguan has been lost, Xiping County is in danger, and Yuan Xi's army is about to enter Taiyuan. Let him figure it out for himself! ”

"Uh..." The messenger sent by the high cadres did not leave, and was still hesitating there.

Yuan Shang looked at it with a lot of fire.

The judge on the side arched his hand and said: "The Youzhou army outside Yanmen Pass has very strong combat effectiveness, and they must not be allowed to enter the state." The lord should still support it. ”

"It's not that you don't know, sir. In addition to the troops sent to garrison various places, I have 30,000 cavalry in my hands, and I have to prepare to resist Yuan Xi, who has already attacked and entered Bingzhou, what can I use to support him? ”

"It's good to send 10,000." Judge the way.

"Ugh...."

Yuan Shang sat down angrily and sighed: "I knew that today, I should have beheaded Chun Yuqiong's house, so as to save him from doing a good thing for me." If the pot is not lost, I... Alas, regret not being at the beginning! ”

Chun Yuqiong would defect, but Chen really didn't expect it. But it also gives us a wake-up call. When a catastrophe comes, anyone may betray the lord and surrender to Yuan Xi. It also includes some county guards, etc. The lord needs to be vigilant at all times and not let the tragedy of Huguan repeat itself. The judge said.

"Well, you're right!" Yuan Shang was still angry, and said angrily: "Chun Yuqiong, this thief, when I catch him, I will definitely break him into pieces!" ”

"The lord doesn't have to be angry, the enemy is now, let's discuss first, how to resist the enemy, right?" Judge the way.

"What do you suggest?" Yuan Shang asked.

The judge said: "In this war with Yuan Xi, if it is a head-to-head battle, we have almost no chance of winning. Because Yuan Xi's strength is more than twice that of ours, the number of war horses and giant beasts is also very large, and the combat effectiveness is very strong. ”

"So, in this battle, you have to make a surprise move!"

"Tricks? What's the trick? Yuan Shang felt hopeful.

"Minister.... I haven't thought of it yet. However, we have the advantage of geographical advantages, and it is impossible for Yuan Xi to enter Taiyuan in a short period of time. The lord still has plenty of time to prepare. ”

There was no way to even defend against the enemy, and Yuan Shang was terrified.

Could it be that this battle is the last battle of his life?

No!

You must not be defeated by Yuan Xi!

"What Mr. said is reasonable, I have a geographical advantage in the state, and it is not so easy for Yuan Xi to defeat me." Yuan Shang also had an idea: "Huh! I suddenly had an idea, I didn't know if I could do it. ”

"Please let the Lord know." There was some surprise in the trial.

In such a complicated situation, can Yuan Shang also come up with a strategy?

"Let's retreat into the mountains first, rely on the mountain, and fight against Yuan Xi, what do you think?" Yuan Shang felt that his ideas were very clever.

The judge rolled his eyes and replied: "My lord, this is something that can only be done at the last moment, and it is not needed yet." In our prefectures and counties, there are still 100,000 troops resisting, and all the officials, local soldiers, and clans are watching our every move. If we enter the mountain, they will immediately fall to Yuan Xi's side. Then we will really become bandits in the mountains. If we can persevere, these officials and clans will not easily submit to Yuan Xi. ”

"It's still thoughtful, sir." Yuan Shang smiled and said, "Then I will first send three thousand soldiers and horses into the mountain, repair the road, and set up a large camp." As soon as we are defeated, we immediately retreat into the mountains. ”

"That's fine. Be prepared. "The judge responded.

The soldier sent by Gao Gan was still in the lobby, looking at Yuan Shang with blank eyes, wanting Yuan Shang to increase troops at Yanmen Pass.

Yuan Shang stared at him and said, "Gao Gan wants 20,000 Yuan troops, and I really can't take it out." But you can give him ten thousand. In addition, the local army of Yanmen County, he can call it at will. The county soldiers of the five or six nearby counties should also be in the thousands, so let him find a way to raise troops for the garrison by himself. ”

"You go down first, and I'll send troops later."

"No."

The soldier did not dare to say anything more and rushed away.

this day.

Yan Liang, who was in Lishi, Xiping County, ordered to retreat first to rest after successive unsuccessful attacks on Lishicheng.

No one thought that the 45,000 iron cavalry and 5,000 elite siege echelons failed to capture Lishi City, but the siege echelon that was transferred from the city suffered heavy casualties and was no longer able to organize the siege.
