Yan Huzheng and a group of generals gathered on the sand table of Dingcai and the two states to discuss the strategy of dealing with Hu Meng, there is a plan to block the enemy on the border line, and there is also a strategy for Hu Meng to go deep into the hinterland of Dingzhou.

"Now Hu Meng outside the Hanyue Pass in Caizhou is still attacking, but as long as there are no accidents, the Hanyue Pass is worry-free, at present, what I am most worried about is Xiema Town, although there is Hao Zifeng's blade army to assist in the defense, but after all, it is trapped in a lonely city, and there has been no news for so long, which really makes me anxious."

Yan Hu pointed at Xiema Town with a long pole, and saw that outside a lonely city above, there were more than a dozen models of Humeng cavalry, and there were only three models of the Yan army in the city, but the comparison of the military strength of Xiema Town before was clearly displayed.

"Marshal, there's someone from Shema Town." A soldier hurriedly came in from the outside and whispered a few words in the ear of a general present, who frowned after hearing this, and reported the news to Yan Hu.

Yan Hu looked at the other party with some confusion, but he didn't hesitate in his actions, and walked out with a step, "Take me quickly." ”

The atmosphere inside the house was a little dull, or rather gloomy, no one expected that after joining the Blade Army, Xiema Town would be captured so quickly, and even Hao Zifeng died in the city.

"It seems that the plan to block the enemy outside the border line is not feasible, now that Yunzhong and Xiema are lost, Hu Meng has completely gained a firm foothold in Dingzhou, and then Liangcheng has become the throat of the entire Dingzhou competition, fortunately Liangcheng is in our hands, as long as Liangcheng is not lost, Hu Meng will not be able to set off much wind and waves in Dingzhou, so the top priority is to defend Liangcheng with all his might, and send someone to hurry to Yunzhong, so that Gu Shuai can withdraw."

……

At the same time, under the city in the clouds, the earth-shattering shouts and killing surrounded the entire clouds on all sides, and Gu Liangchen's 50,000 troops launched a charge against the seemingly not tall city wall again and again, but every time it seemed to be out of breath, and he was defeated and retreated.

It's no wonder that these subordinates of his, but in his troops, there are too many related households from the imperial court, from the battalion commander to the ordinary soldiers, all of them are like old soldiers, let them deal with bandits and bandits in peacetime, and those who are frightened of the officials and soldiers and flee from the wind naturally scramble, for fear of missing the credit.

But now against the fierce and abnormal stubble of Shanghu Mengbing, Yang obeys Shangguan's orders, but Shangguan can't beat or scold them, for fear of angering the heirs of any prince and minister, which is really helpless.

This time it was also defeated and returned without exception, Gu Liangchen could only sigh, dropped the words "Mingjin Collects Troops", and slowly returned to his handsome tent, not wanting to see anyone.

He suddenly complained a little about Jin Ran, although he is now also the commander of the legion, according to his identity, he and Yan Hu and Jin Ran belong to the same position, but in fact, he and the commander of the fourth legion, Zuo Shidao, still obey Jin Ran's moderation, this is not the official position in the system, but the respect and obedience to a person from the bottom of his heart.

After all, their current position, in addition to their efforts, also has Jin Ran's support, he and Zuo Shidao both started from Duwei, and have been following Jinran's side until today, for nearly thirty years, in such a long time, although he can't guarantee Zuo Shidao's attitude,

But he, Gu Liangchen, can say with certainty that he has not complained about Jin Ran once, even if he was the first to let him lure the enemy alone, he did not complain at all.

But now he has it in his heart, because he can't understand why Jinran opened an opening for these powerful people to infiltrate the army in the first place, so that they can unscrupulously corrode the combat effectiveness of the army and ignore the safety of the country.

Is it to repay them for supporting Yan Youxu in the Yan Youchu Rebellion? Or is it to win the hearts of the people and let the chaotic Yan Kingdom return to tranquility.

Gu Liangchen felt that both could be both, or neither, it was undeniable that the original Great Yan, who had been beaten to pieces by the battle for the throne between Yan Youchu and Yan Youxu, was gradually fading the scars of the past, and those local forces who wanted to take advantage of the weakness of the Yan Kingdom had to be honest again in front of the gradually recovering Great Yan.

But in exchange for the price of these, but it is the corruption of officials brought about by political relaxation, and too much decentralization, resulting in the increasing arrogance of the magnates, this is like drinking water to quench thirst, he thinks that Jin Ran can't not know, or is no longer able to recover, or unwilling to recover, Gu Liangchen suddenly wanted to run to Jin Ran and ask in person.

"Gu Shuai!" There was a noise outside the tent, as if someone wanted to come in, but was stopped by the guards, so he shouted outside the tent, Gu Liangchen put aside these thoughts, and transferred his spirit to the present, three steps and two steps, as soon as he opened the door curtain, he couldn't help but tremble in his body, and the temperature difference between inside and outside was indeed a little big.

"Come in and talk." Gu Liangchen exhaled a cold breath, turned back and retracted into the tent, and the person who invited him outside the tent quickly followed, with a look of anxiety in his expression, as soon as he entered the big tent, he took out a red-letter urgent letter from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Liangchen.

"Gu Shuai, urgent paperwork from the kitchen."

Gu Liangchen glanced at the seal, it was still intact, and there was no trace of opening, so he couldn't help asking, "You haven't seen it?" ”

The man shook his head, "The person who sent the letter named Gu Shuai to open it in person, and the general would not dare to cross it." ”

Gu Liangchen nodded, "Got it, you can step back first." ”

The contents of the letter made him a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Shema is lost, and you can't stay in the clouds for long." After reading the letter, Gu Liangchen's first reaction in his mind was like this, in addition to feeling the predicament, he was also deeply worried about the battle situation in Dingzhou.

"Someone, summon the generals above the commander of the battalion of each department, and listen to the order in front of the tent!"

……

Han Zan rode his war horse into the Yunzhou realm again, but compared to the elation when he came last time, Han Zan now looked extremely embarrassed.

Zhou Ronghua died, and even poisoned Zhou Fugui to death, and Hu Meng's craftsman saw the edge of the dawn and fell into darkness again, for which Kelie not only scolded him in front of the generals, but also made it clear that all his previous merits had been offset by his stupid care, and now he came to relieve the siege of the clouds as a guilty body.

"If your results this time are not as good as those of Khurdu, then you can go and be his deputy in the future." This was the last thing Kelie said to him before he stepped back, and Khurdu, who was on the side, almost bloomed on his face when he heard this.

He was sure that by now Khurdu must be holding his breath to outmaneuver him in this battle to break the siege in the clouds, and then let him lose the chance to compete with him forever.

"Everybody picks up the pace, before dark

Make sure to get to Cloudsdale! He gave the order to speed up the march again, and he no longer remembered how many times this order had been given to speed up the march, just because there was a Huer who was following closely, and he could not let the other party overtake him, so he would lose the opportunity.

But looking left and right, the soldiers around him have become depressed because of the continuous high-intensity rush, and the white saliva has begun to drip from the mouth of the war horse under him, these conditions all show the exhaustion of this team, although he has only given the order, he has to correct it immediately.

Le Ma turned around, looked at the 20,000 Humeng warriors stretching behind him, and gently spit out a sentence: "Half a pillar of incense, all the staff rest on the spot." ”

And Huerdu, who was following him, also learned from the mouths of the soldiers sent out that Hanzan was finally willing to stop and rest, and couldn't help but rub his sore and thick waist, and scolded in his mouth, "Okay, you Hanzan, run so fast, hurry to reincarnate?" Help me down, my waist is so stiff that I can't move. ”

"This errand is really not done by people!" In a makeshift tent, Huerdu lay on a plush cushion, enjoying the massage of his subordinates, humming and chirping about Hanzan's unreasonableness, squeezing soldiers, etc., how he didn't know that the other party didn't want to lose to him, and became his subordinate so desperately.

Khurdu really wanted to run up and lift Hanzan's ear and tell him, "This is what the Khan said on purpose, in order to make you ashamed and brave, I am only playing a pressure role in this, as long as you don't deliberately slack off, I will never steal your limelight in this battle." ”

But can such a thing be said? Stupid people know that they can't say it, let alone a smart person like Huerdu, so they want to think about it, and they can only honestly ask their subordinates to help massage and relieve the trouble caused by weight, "A little below, just there and there, work harder, yes, yes, continue to ......"

The two soldiers rolled their eyes at each other, and then invariably shook their fingers and wrists that had been pressed sorely, massaging the fat man was much more laborious than massaging the thin man, and the thick layer of flesh made it completely impossible for you to press the acupuncture points accurately.

"Grand Commander, Grand Commander Hanzan has set off again!"

"Ahh This one kills a thousand knives! With a sad face, Huerdu once again greeted the eighteenth generation of Hanzan's ancestors, "Command the whole army, continue...... Come on. ”

At that time, Gu Liangchen's army had basically been packed, but obviously this time he had learned the previous lesson, and the first thing he did after learning about the fall of Xiema Town was to send additional scouts and expand the scope of reconnaissance, and sure enough, just two hours ago, the spies reported that a large number of Humeng cavalry were found fifty miles away, and they were heading this way.

Two hours was enough for Gu Liangchen to arrange his troops, but he was not stupid enough to meet Hu Meng's reinforcements under the city, which would only expose himself to the enemy.

Instead, he dragged the troops to the foot of the foothills, completely away from the flat terrain under the city in the clouds, the mountains were more suitable for the infantry of the Yan army, as long as the Humeng people dared to chase them, he was confident that they would be surrounded and annihilated.

When Han Zan arrived, the Yan army at the foot of the foothills had already set up a formation, although the siege in the clouds was solved, but he did not make an inch, how to make him willing, he had been in the army for many years, how not to know that it was the Yan army intentionally, fighting against the mountain, especially with infantry against cavalry, advancing can be attacked, retreating can be defended, which shows that the other party's command ability is by no means general.

But even so, Hanzan still held the blade in his hand tightly, and when it was unsheathed, the thousands of troops behind him were about to rush towards that place.
