As soon as Xie An walked out of the house, he saw Xie Xuan standing outside the door waiting, and asked strangely, "What's wrong with Youdu?" ”

Xie Xuan saw Xie An in the house come out, so he hurriedly said, "Big brother, someone is looking for you outside, just outside." ”

"Huh?" Xie An looked out strangely, and really saw a middle-aged man in brocade standing outside the house.

Xie An took Xie Xuan outside the house, and said with a salute: "General Sun is here, the grass people have lost sight, and I ask the general for forgiveness." ”

Seeing Xie An like this, Sun Xiong raised his hand to help Xie An and said: "Mr. Xie doesn't need to be polite, if there is no Mr., I waited for Yanmen three years ago, I'm afraid it will no longer exist." ”

"General Sun has said, without me, General Sun would be able to drive away the Huns, An is just a little trick on the side, and the general should not be so complimentary."

Xie An replied modestly.

Seeing that Xie An didn't want to mention anything about three years ago, Sun Xiong didn't continue, but turned his gaze to the young man beside Xie An.

The young man is a little similar to Xie An, under his delicate face, he has a pair of deep pupils, and the rest of his eyebrows are also somewhat similar to Xie An's Confucian temperament, and he must be a Confucian general when he grows up.

Unlike Xie An, who faced himself with courtesy in every move, Xie Xuan was more curious and watched.

Although Xie Xuan and Sun Yun both recognized Xie An as their master, Sun Xiong himself was busy with affairs, and Xie An's mansion was located in the mountains, so he didn't often go to see Xie An teaching.

Now, the two have met for the first time.

Sun Xiong spoke first: "I don't know who this is?" ”

"This Nai'an's younger brother, Xie Xuan Xie Youdu." Xie An replied.

"Xie Xuan has seen Lord Sun Xiong."

Although it was rude to look at Sun Xiong curiously just now, Xie Xuan, as a child of the Xie family, naturally did not forget the etiquette.

After tidying up his clothes, he bowed his head and said.

Sun Xiong nodded, raised his hand to signal Xie Xuan not to do this, and said: "I heard Yun'er say that he has a junior disciple who has the talent to learn from heaven and earth, and today I saw that this is really the case, the Han Dynasty has such a masterpiece, but it is the luck of the Han Dynasty." ”

In the face of Sun Xiong's praise, although Xie Xuan was overjoyed, he also knew that he couldn't be too obvious at this time, so he could only humbly arch his hand and say: "The general has said it, Xuan is not as talented as the general said, but Sun Yun, the general's son, Xuan admires." ”

"Haha, don't be arrogant or impatient, my dog wants to learn from you well." Sun Xiong was also very satisfied with Xie Xuan's performance, and directly took out his sons to teach them a lesson.

He smiled with satisfaction at this, Yanmen has these young descendants, and Yanmen Pass can also stand between the grasslands in a hundred years, and he is not afraid of foreign invasions.

"I don't know what General Sun is here to discuss?"

Xie An said Sun Xiong's intention, and Sun Xiong could only say: "Mr. Xie, I learned some news today, and the military advisor and I don't know the deep meaning of it, and I want to ask Mr. to go to Taishou Mansion." ”

"Then please." Xie An originally wanted to refuse, but remembering what Sun Yun said this morning, he had to face it squarely.

Raising his hand, he said to Sun Xiong.

When Xie Xuan heard that something was wrong, he pulled the corner of Xie An's clothes: "Big brother, I'm going too!" ”

Xie An frowned, and said angrily: "Youdu, is it possible for you to go to Taishou Mansion casually?" ”

"But big brother, I think I can help with this too!" Xie Xuan also heard Xie An's idea that he didn't want to get involved, but he still insisted.

Seeing this, Sun Xiong also mediated: "Haha, it's okay if Brother Ling can help me and wait, it is also a great achievement, and the Taishou Mansion is not a place that cannot be entered, so let's go together." ”

Xie An saw that Sun Xiong said so, and Xie Xuan was also extremely excited to follow Sun Xiong's side, and he could only sigh and say: "In this way, there will be General Laosun." ”

Arriving at the Taishou Mansion, Sun Xiong asked Xie An and Xie Xuan to go inside.

There was another person sitting kneeling inside, with a cup of hot tea in his hand, waiting for me quietly, this person had the same scholarly temperament as Xie An, but his face was extremely pale, and his eyes were a little trance.

Sun Xiong let the two sit down casually, and then began to introduce: "This is the military advisor of my Yanmen Army, Xi Zhong, Xi Zhicai. ”

Xie An saluted to Xi Zhong, and said modestly: "I have heard that many affairs in Yanmen are taken care of by the drama military master, and now it is also an honor to meet the real person." ”

"Haha, sir, don't be so complimentary, what I did is not as strong as your plan three years ago."

Xi Zhong smiled reluctantly, and did not have any look at Xie An's compliment.

"I heard about your deeds as early as Yingchuan, and now I am here in the hope of being able to compete with you."

There was also a hint of competition in Xi Zhong's eyes.

Xie Xuan asked strangely, "Yingchuan?" Big brother, what is Yingchuan? ”

When Xie An saw Xie Xuan asking, he also answered: "Yingchuan is in the territory of Yuzhou, and Yingchuan is the birthplace of many heroes. ”

After speaking, Xie An looked at Xi Zhong and said: "The opera military master is from Yingchuan, presumably he is a student of Yingchuan, and it is An's honor to be able to compete with the students of Yingchuan." ”

Sun Xiong saw that the two sides knew each other almost, so he coughed lightly and said, "Sir, I called you here today because I have some unknown places with the military advisor. ”

"Recently, many Xiongnu troops have often raided nearby villages, but when we waited for the Yanmen army to arrive, we did not see these Xiongnu troops."

After Xie An heard this, he pondered and said, "I don't know how many villages have been looted in a day. ”

"About two or three." Sun Xiong also did not know how much the Xiongnu plundered in a day, so he could only say vaguely.

After hearing this, before Xie An could speak, Xie Xuan said suspiciously: "No, my lord, you can't be mistaken." ”

"Oh? I wonder what Mr. Little thinks? Sun Xiong was not annoyed by Xie Xuan's impolite behavior and asked.

Xie Xuan didn't see Xie An's eyes stopping him, and continued: "If the Hun army is coming, it really wants to attack Yanmen Pass as a deterrent, then it will take at least ten robberies in one day, although the villages get along far from each other, but they can also be divided into troops to rob them, and the village itself has no heavy troops, maybe hundreds, thousands of cavalry can do." ”

"If you really say what your lord says, 100,000 Hun cavalry only robbed two or three places a day?"

Xie Xuanyi said that Sun Xiong understood some problems, and it is true that the movements of the Xiongnu are unknown now, and it must not be the main force of the Xiongnu that often loots at this time.

It may be that this often plundering force was the rise of the leaders of some tribes, or the conspiracy of the Xiongnu.

And what about the movements of the main forces?

Where is the army commanded by the Xiongnu Shan Yu now?

"General, if Ruo'an is not mistaken, the army commanded by Xiongnu Shan Yu has always been in the depths of the grassland and has not reached our border."

Xie An said clearly.

"If this is the case, we can also focus on these scattered tribes, repel them, and then consolidate the border defense, and wait for the army to attack and be able to resist for a while."

Sun Xiong heard that the army of Xiongnu Shan Yu was still in the depths of the grassland, and he was also relieved to put forward his opinion.

It's just that after Sun Xiong finished speaking, he found that Xie An and Xi Zhong's expressions were a little serious, and they also understood that things didn't seem to be as simple as they thought.

I could only quietly watch what the two of them had to say.

Xie Xuan saw that the atmosphere was immersed all of a sudden, and he also looked around a little boredly, and found that there was a topographical map of the merger state behind Sun Xiong, and circles were drawn around Yanmen.

And these circles are the guards of the major lands, and some soldiers and horses will be sent to defend them.

This is also the topographic map that Sun Xiong discussed with Xi Zhong this morning, and it is also the deployment made to defend the Xiongnu.

And Xie Xuan saw the marks on the map, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "My lord, has the Taihang Mountain Range behind you been deployed?" I see it going deep into the grassland......"

Sun Xiong glanced back, and said with a smile: "Haha, Mr. Xiao is worry-free, this is Tonggu, which is known for its dangerous terrain, and the Huns are good at riding horses, so they will not choose to take this kind of dangerous place." ”

After hearing what Sun Xiong said, Xi Zhong and Xie An's eyes suddenly raised, and Xi Zhong saw that Xie An was the same, and immediately smiled: "So it's up to you." ”

When Sun Xiong saw the two of them like this, he said, "I don't know what the two of you are thinking?" ”

"Just now, An never understood that the Huns would really let the adults deploy like this, and even plan to do useless work in the end?"

"Even Yu Fuluo will be able to attack Yanmen Pass by surprise, so Liu Yuan, who is Shan Yu, will definitely not think of it."

Xie An got up and bowed his hand to Sun Xiong, which was considered apologetic, and when he walked behind Sun Xiong, he pointed to one of the places and continued.

"Therefore, An has some ideas, and I am afraid that the Huns will choose here."

Xie An pointed his finger at Tonggu's position and said solemnly.
