After seeing Gao Xian's envoy, Dia Niao wanted to go back to his temporary study in the east courtyard.

Dong Guozhang still does not leave an inch.

Diaobird wanted to hint at him that "there was a lot to do alone", but he eventually gave up.

Dong Guozhang didn't regard him as a king at all, just as a relative, and finally left his relatives, that is, he could be together and need someone to accompany him.

Diao is not a bad thing, at least he has a rare warmth, especially himself, he can't bear to break this kind of warmth.

Yayangu was in the ear room next to the stable in the west courtyard, and received some news, and hurriedly came out, dressed in white...... He later took over Zhang Tietou's trip bureau, and out of the need to settle the officialdom, he visited Dong Guozhang many times, and enveloped his feelings in the name of Dia Bird's subordinates. Dong Guozhang recognized him, he didn't know his current position, and listened to Dia Niao out of secrecy about his identity, telling him that his official position on the surface - the attendant officer, he understood that he was the second butler under Da Changqiu, so he really became the second butler, and he shouted when he looked at it from afar: "Little tooth." How do you manage this housekeeper? Look at this yard, you have scraped a thick layer of soil, and you can quickly find a few people and sprinkle water and sweep it. ”

The battle is imminent, and the dark soul is running at high speed.

Hawks are used at close range, pigeons are used at afar, not to mention fast riding. In order to facilitate the receipt of information, he simply set up the command post next to the inner and outer stables, and he also ate and lived next to the stables. didn't even respond, stood beside Dia Bird, just waiting for Dia Bird to take a step to speak, seeing Dong Guozhang's curious eyes, Dia Bird stretched out his head, and leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I just received the information, the enemy has increased its troops by 20,000 troops." ”

This is a normal message.

It is strange that the enemy does not increase his troops.

As soon as Gaonu was lost, the enemy gathered 30,000 people, and arrived at Gaonu in the west that night, plus the 10,000 people who escaped from Tuoba Jiuxing were also approaching Gaonu, that is, 40,000 horses, and then Diaxiao led troops to support and stationed 20 miles northeast of Gaonu, because some of the counties and towns in the north of Gaonu were still in the hands of Tuoba clan, although Diaxiao and Gaonu were a little far away from each other's horns, but it did not affect the deterrence of the enemy.

In terms of numbers, the number of the enemy and us is close, and the enemy wants to recapture Gaonu, which is the besieging side, and after three or five days, it is normal to gather 20,000 horses.

And that's to be expected.

It's just that Yayangu is in a hurry.

Seeing that Dong Guozhang didn't pay attention to talking to him, Di Ah Niao blamed him for his demeanor and calmness, so he blurted out: "Find two people." Clean up the yard. How long does it take for the old man to come back? Do you refuse to clean even a yard? ”

Yayangu reacted at this time and saluted Dong Guozhang: "I was in a hurry, I didn't hear the old lady clearly." Then, as he was about to send someone to clean up, Dia Bird leaned into his ear and said, "Don't leave the enemies under surveillance, you can sweep them away." ”

The military intelligence office of the base camp is located in the dormitory across the road opposite the general's mansion, and the transmission of military information is not slow at all.

Dia Bird put one of them inside the General's Mansion and the other outside the General's Mansion, instead of putting them together, that is, let them race.

After Yayangu finished conveying here, the rotating head of the military intelligence department over there held a sign to show the soldiers on guard, trotted in all the way, dressed all the way, and came to Di Ao to report: "King Qiyu, the enemy has increased his troops by about 20,000, not only has he sent more people to cut down trees, but also strengthened the offensive, and several counties and towns that have been captured in his hands have been lost. There was also an army that took the initiative to attack Ahyopute, and although it was repulsed by Ahyopute, it was stationed in a confrontation. Ah Xiaobaote asked the king if he needed to attack their camp and defeat them completely? ”

Diao-bird asked, "Do you know about the base camp?" ”

The MI replied: "It has been reported to General Wu Ban, presumably he has conveyed it to the generals of the base camp." ”

He handed over a military box and walked away.

It seems that Diaxiao handed over two military boxes to the military intelligence office of the base camp, one of which was handed over to Dia Bird.

Dia Niao did not want to unseal the mud immediately, although Dong Guozhang was anxious and excited, all on his face.

As soon as he turned around, he went straight to his study, and walked to him, where several counselors were busy, one of them was sorting out the books, and the others were crawling on the map, copying the terrain, marking and measuring the distances, and marking something. Diao took off his shoes and went straight to his desk, without even standing up.

Dong Guozhang couldn't understand this kind of efficient operation, but it was not strange to see it, and he also took off his heels, and when he got to Dia Bird, there was a screen diagonally opposite, and there was a chair under the screen, so he went straight to the chair to sit, and sat down in front of him, looking at Dia Bird on the inside of the desk dismantling the military box, and was asking him if he wanted to do something good, when he felt something in the back of his neck, as if someone was reaching out behind his back, he was startled and quickly turned his head.

It turned out that it was a note pasted by Dia Bird, not a note, but a full paste.

He saw that the paper in the middle was a whole sheet, the most eye-catching, still written in red pen, and he looked straight at it, and it read: "Add oil and water, and increase the enemy's forces one by one, so as to attract most of the enemy." The county flag units increased during the day, and the permanent tooth soldiers marched at night. When the enemy has more than 100,000 troops, and the permanent tooth soldiers are interspersed at night, making roundabouts, or struggling to attack, go straight to Lingwu Fort, cut off the enemy's rear, and the whole country of Eastern Xia will be pressed. ”

Dong Guozhang was nervous and excited, his fingers trembled, and he couldn't help asking, "Ah Bird." Circle him 100,000, can we eat it? ”

Dia Bird thought for a moment and blurted out: "Then change it later, change 100,000 to 150,000 ......"

He muttered to himself: "It is better if the enemy can increase to more than 200,000, but I am afraid that 150,000 is their upper limit, and if they do not cut it off, they will have many dreams at night." ”

Dong Guozhang's chair leg "popped", and his body wanted to be crooked.

There was a "report" outside, but it was another person from the base camp, and a counselor in the study got up and walked over, and soon came back with a hard folding board, and came to Dia Bird.

Dia Niao was reading the military letter given by Dia Xiao, and he didn't raise his head, and ordered in a low and powerful voice: "Read." ”

The counselor stood sideways to the side and read: "Under the order of the base camp, General Diaxiao should increase the enemy's arrogance and soldiers, and stop in moderation...... Diao interrupted rudely, "No." Give up. General Diaxiao can fight hard, and it is not impossible to crush and defeat the enemy, which does not affect the enemy's increase in troops. ”

The counsellor replied, "Yes." ”

He leaned on Dia Bird's desk, stretched out his arm, rubbed ink into the ink cartridge in front of Dia Bird with a hairpin pen, and wrote when he lay down. Dong Guozhang was dumbfounded. This is very disrespectful in the Central Plains. He resisted his unaccustomed gaze and waited quietly for the following. After the counselor finished writing, he stood up straight and read again: "The base camp has more than 20,000 people rushing to the aid of the general with the flag of the three counties, and the general can dispatch him at will." ”

Dia Bird thought for a while and said: "Send a message to the base camp, Lone came out to see the generals today for fear of national suspicion, and when the war is arranged, I must tell the generals I see today not to reveal Lone's whereabouts." Tomorrow and tomorrow, the base camp will be moved to the front line, and the lonely will go to the front line, and those who dare to say that they are alone in the army will be killed. ”

The counselor leaned down on the table again, and because there was not enough paper, he drew paper from under Diao's arm, and shouted "Let the king let go."

When the counselor had finished writing, he submitted the letter and requested, "The king uses the seal." ”

Dia Niao took a small seal from his belt, dipped it in red clay, pressed it on it, and then said: "Decree Baolan Mansion Order, Dingxia Erzhou Officials, instruct people to guard in sections, except for the passing army, not a single person is allowed to go west, the news that should be released has been released, and now it is time to block the news." ”

The counselor thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to execute." ”

Dia Bird shouted: "The whole country is a war, it is not easy to carry out it, but it must be executed, and you can requisition the knights above the fifth lord to the sideline, and echo it with a whistle." Those who trespass may be detained, and those who resist may be beheaded. The county officials and township officials divided the responsibilities with each other, counted the number of people guarding the border line in a timely manner, paid attention to the situation, and the dereliction of duty was dealt with by military law. ”

The counselor "pierced" a sound, and then pulled the paper and wrote wildly, and after the book was finished, he gave Diao a seal, and then turned around and walked away with the book.

As soon as he left, Dong Guozhang thought about the long sideline he had come all the way to, and sighed and said, "Ah bird." This line is too long, can you block this news? ”

Dia Niao smiled: "It's okay to block the sideline around Bao Lan, they are willing to take a detour, and it's too late to go far." ”
