"Don't be angry, the last general heard that the main purpose of the Mongols entering the Kou is to look at the Xia and Jin countries, and now the Mongolian chieftain Mu Huali is fighting with the Jin country on the Qingyang line, and the war with the Xia country is also in full swing, and the last general will judge that the Mongols will not start a war on three fronts at the same time." After a moment of silence, Zhao Yanna spoke again: "The chaos on the border this time should be the embers crossing the border, and there was a misunderstanding in the chaos. Send an envoy to talk to the Mongol army, and it can probably be resolved. ”

Gui Ruyuan glared at him: "Then you go and be a messenger!" ”

Zhao Yanna was dumbfounded, and several people next to him exchanged glances and hid their faces and snickered.

"This ...... Town marshal, the last general to guard Xingyuan Mansion, this is an important town in Lizhou, can not leave without permission, now eventful, should be more strict soldiers, the whole army war, and the last general a martial artist, where is good at tongue words, this messenger position, I am afraid should find another good person. Zhao Yanna ignored the eyes of others and hurriedly distinguished.

The Mongols were barbaric, and there was no grass everywhere they passed, so they went to be messengers? It's better to cut Lao Tzu directly with a knife!

Gui Ruyuan looked at him dissatisfied, and frowned at the other people, "What about you?" Is there anything else to say? ”

The military general who had just handed him a handkerchief got up, waved his hand at him, and said in a loud voice: "Zhen Shuai, the last general thinks that the Mongols are two-faced and three-stabbed, and they don't know etiquette and shame, and one set in the open and the other in the secret, it's all nonsense!" This time into the Kou, the attack on the Xia Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom is fake, and the plot against my western Sichuan is true, and the town marshal must think about how to protect the Chinese side of Shu as the best policy! ”

Gui Ruyuan touched the stubble on his chin, felt reasonable, nodded and said: "Yes, the Mongols have been drinking blood, where do they know the truth of respecting their allies, they saw that my Great Song Dynasty was prosperous and rich, and they were afraid of it, and they intended to follow the example of the Liao, Jin and Xia people, loot our people, and occupy our land, it must be so!" ”

He pointed to the man who spoke: "Pan Fu, in that case, what is your good plan?" ”

The person who spoke was none other than Wuxiu Guan General Pan Fu, who was Gui Ruyuan's close confidant and extremely trusted.

But if you want to talk about countermeasures, he is worried, the Mongols beat the Jin country so much that they can't find the north, how strong it is, everyone can talk about reason, and it will be difficult to talk about countermeasures. You can't just say that you should send an envoy to reason like Zhao Yanna.

"This ...... The last general is still thinking about it, and he just thought of some of them, so he will talk about them first, and the rest ...... Please, the commander, decide. Pan Fu smirked and twisted back.

Gui Ruyuan glanced at him, and roared again with undiminished anger: "So, just let the Mongols wreak havoc?" The five state barriers, Fengzhou and Jiezhou, have been lost, the Tianshui army is in danger, Xihe Prefecture is the frontier, and Muben City has become a lonely city, trapped in the siege of the Mongols, but we are helpless, and the imperial court has learned that none of us can get rid of it! ”

Everyone will be scolded by him, but there is nothing to be done, shaking their heads again and again, everyone knows that the Xia people are coming, the Great Song army is struggling, and the Mongols who are about to destroy the Xia Kingdom are of course even more terrifying, and they want to lead the troops to fight to relieve the siege of Zhucheng, and fight with the Mongols in the field and outside the city, which is a suicide-like move.

In the awkward silence, everyone settled down like stone sculptures.

Gui Ruyuan sat down in the circle chair with his buttocks, only to feel frightened, he was not afraid of the court's blame, after all, Shi Miyuan was in the same party as him, and he would inevitably protect him, what he was worried about was that if the Mongols were serious, what should he do if they came in?

Among the generals in the seat, there are Pan Fu, the general of Wuxiu, Cheng Xin, the general of the Seven Directions, Li Shi, the governor of Fengzhou, who fled back, Xia Mingcheng, the general of the immortal guard, Zhao Yanna, the commander of Rongsi Town, Xingyuan Prefecture, Zhang Xuan, the general of the Da'an Army, He Jin, and others, all of whom are the main generals of the four major Rong Divisions in Shu in the Song Dynasty.

These people are uneven, some of them have experienced a hundred battles, and they are outstanding in the war with the Xia Kingdom; Some people rely on connections to go through the back door, trying to take advantage of the advantages of military towns to eat the flesh and drink the blood of soldiers, and make a fortune in the past. More people, because of Wu Xi's rebellion more than 20 years ago, the imperial court deliberately placed mediocre talents in order to prevent the Sichuan generals from rebelling again.

Gui Ruyuan rubbed his temples, looked at the ceiling, and was weak and silent, no one in the flower hall touched his head, and he didn't speak, everyone communicated with each other, and they all shook their heads, feeling that this time was really tricky.

Seeing that time passed like an hourglass, Pan Fu, the general of Wuxiu Guan, finally spoke again, he hesitated to look at the people present, and said to Gui Ruyuan: "Town marshal, there will be a plan in the end, I don't know if to talk about it?" ”

Gui Ruyuan's spirit perked up, he sat up straight suddenly, and glared at the copper bell with big eyes: "It's all this time, what else should not be said?" Come on! ”

All the generals in the audience looked at Pan Fu, and they all felt that this person liked to pat horses and whiskers the most on weekdays, was good at giving gifts and bribes, and fighting was commonplace, so why did he have a plan to use it at a critical moment today, but it was rare, so they all pricked up their ears and listened to his next words.

"In the end, the general thinks that the five states are places outside the border, and it is useless to keep them, and it is not inappropriate to abandon them, and they are chicken-like territory. Now that the five states have lost three of them, there is really no need to waste troops to defend them, such as the Mongols attacking, it will only cost the lives of the soldiers. The more Pan Fu spoke, the more fluent he became, and he felt that it made sense: "The last general thinks that it is better to abandon the five states and include all the soldiers outside the pass within the three passes, so as to strengthen the defense of the pass and resist the Mongols; Second, the territory of the five states is vast, the people are good, and the income is within the pass, so that the Mongols have no grain to grab, nothing to grab, and kill two birds with one stone! ”

Gui Ruyuan listened attentively, nodded his head uncontrollably, and his eyes became brighter and brighter, and when he finished speaking, Gui Ruyuan had already stood up and couldn't stop boasting: "Okay!" Not bad, not bad! Gather the soldiers, clear the wilderness, guard the three passes, and reject the enemy outside Bashu, in this way, the Bashu portal is still in our hands, the Mongols can not enter an inch, and the Mongols can not grab things, naturally retreat, and wait for a period of time, we can get back the lost state capital, haha, this plan is wonderful, this plan is wonderful! ”

He danced with his hands, slapped Pan Fu on the shoulder, laughed, and was as happy as if he had been promoted.

The other generals looked at each other with shocked faces.

Abandon the five states?

Is this to open the fence for others to kick in the door?

The five states and three customs are a system, not a separate part. The three passes are built in a dangerous place, set up according to the direction of the Qinling Mountains, and are built on mountain passes everywhere, blocking the main road into the river.

But although the three levels are dangerous, they are not unbreakable, after the three levels, it is the land of Bashu, which is equal to the last portal, and if you lose it, you will lose all the games. The five states are the buffer zone of the three gates, the five states are in the three passes, and the five states are in danger if they are lost, so the four major Rong divisions were established to protect the armies of the five states.

What's more, there are still many places in the five states that have not been lost, so it is really hasty to give up like this.

And hastily withdraw, the huge land, where countless people withdraw, the army is easy to run, the people can't, the people who help the old and the young will inevitably become the best target of the Mongolian cavalry, when the time comes, the dead are everywhere on the way to exile, and the scene of life and misery seems to be right in front of you.
