A few days later, in the city of Liaosui, I saw this prosperous and lively intersection of the two realms in the past, which seemed very deserted at this time, and many people in Liaodong looked at the Youzhou army that had entered through the crack in the door with anxiety, although the army was very disciplined and had never harassed them, but it would take some time to completely settle down the people's hearts.

At this time, neither Yan Rou nor Xu Shu had this time, and they had already received the news of the large-scale assembly of the Liaodong army.

In the former Taishou Mansion, after reading the letter that had just come from Guangyang in his hand, Yan Rou looked at Xu Shu and Zhao Yun in front of him, and said solemnly: "It seems that we can only rely on ourselves."

Xu Shu, who was standing on the side, nodded, and said seriously: "Although Hou Ye has an army of more than 100,000 people, but now the Eight Banners of Wuhuan are in a critical period, and there must be no problems, once the Eight Banners are successfully formed, it is equivalent to providing Hou Ye with an endless stream of new forces, which is related to Hou Ye's future plans, as well as the rule of the Mobei Grassland and the Western Regions, so Hou Ye can't be adjusted."

"But Gongsun Du has gathered an army of 100,000 this time, which is not a small number," Zhao Yun said in a deep voice.

"100,000 is not to be feared, our army has as many as 50,000, and occupies Liaosui Jiancheng, as long as he does not come out, his Gongsun Du will definitely not be able to attack it" Yan Rou said confidently.

"Even if the deputy marshal says, I am afraid that he is not attacking, but bypassing Liaosui, cutting off the grain route of our army, and capturing Panshan," Xu Shu said with a stern expression.

Zhao Yun's eyes froze, and he immediately clenched his fists and said: "Military advisor, Yun is willing to garrison Panshan to ensure that our army's grain route is smooth."

"No, General Zilong, your wind cavalry is here to charge into battle, and it is also the key force to defend Liaosui, although the grain route is important, but Liaosui is even more important" Xu Shu shook his head and said.

"Who can take on this important task in such a military advisor's opinion?" Yan Rou asked.

Xu Shu's eyes hesitated slightly for a while, then he hugged his fists and said: "As Shu expected, Gongsun Du will definitely send a large army to capture Panshan, trying to cut off my grain route and mess with our army's heart, so whether Panshan can be kept is the key to whether our army can win, there must be a general to defend it, and Shu suggests letting Xingba pass"

"General Gan" Yan Rou raised his eyebrows, he knew the friendship between Xu Shu and Gan Ning, this mountain is not as good as Liaosui, if you want to hold it, it is estimated that it will be a bloody battle, if you don't pay attention for a while, and even your life is in danger.

"If you don't change someone," Zhao Yun also saw Xu Shu's worries.

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said: "Deputy marshal, there is no room for a trace of personal feelings in battlefield killing, although Xingba is good friends with a certain person, but since he has surrendered to the Hou Ye, he must have been mentally prepared for a long time, the deputy marshal does not have to hesitate, please give an order!" ”

Yan Rou clenched his fists, and after thinking about it for a while, his face finally turned pale, and he shouted, "Let General Gan come over."

"No!"

After a while, Gan Ning, who was wearing armor, majestic and calm, appeared in front of him.

"General Gan, the 100,000 army in Liaodong is coming, the key to our army is in the Panshan Grain Road, Rou and the military advisor think about it, as long as you are stationed in Panshan, you can rest assured, this battle will be a bloody battle, I don't know if General Gan is willing to lead the troops out of the city" Yan Rou asked solemnly.

"The last general is willing," Gan Ning replied without hesitation.

"Xingba" Xu Shu suddenly shouted softly, then pulled over a map of Panshan and displayed it in front of Gan Ning, and said seriously: "If you let you go, how are you going to guard the Panshan Grain Road?"

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the map seriously, Panshan is actually a big mountain, there is a curved winding road in the middle of the mountain, along the road, after crossing the Panshan, there is a small city not far from the right, called Panshan County.

When he found that Gan Ning's eyes were staring at the terrain of the Panshan Mountain Range, a trace of worry immediately flashed in Xu Shu's eyes.

After looking at it for a long time, Gan Ning finally spoke: "Military division, the last general will garrison Panshan County, strengthen the city, encourage the militia, use this as a stronghold, and distribute the scouts everywhere, once there is movement in Liaodong, the last general will immediately know and can support the grain road at any time."

Hearing this, Xu Shu's face instantly relaxed, and he hurriedly asked: "Xingba, you have been waiting to stare at the terrain of the mountain just now, and you seem to be planning to set up camp and set up a camp, condescending, looking down on the incoming army."

Gan Ning nodded and said: "Yes, this is conducive to our army to set up an ambush, and it is more able to fight a surprise attack of the Liaodong Army, instead of garrisoning Panshan County and waiting for them to attack, whether it is merit or defense, it has a certain advantage."

"Then why did you give up," Xu Shu then asked.

"According to the mountain does have an advantage, but the danger is not small, there is no water vein in the mountain, whether the water vein is stable, this is an uncertain factor, once our army occupies the mountain, the first attack may have an effect, but after the second time, the enemy army will react, surround the mountain but not attack, once there is a problem with the water vein in the mountain, our army will inevitably collapse without a fight, and stationed in Panshan County, there will be no such risk, will be against the general, soldier against soldier, there is no doubt, the grain road is related to our army to achieve the final victory, the last general this time only seek no fault, not to seek merit" Gan Ning replied with a serious face.

"Okay, good, Xingba's general!" Hearing this, Yan Rou praised loudly with great appreciation, on the battlefield, many generals only thought about making great achievements, but neglected to consider the overall situation.

"Yun admires" Zhao Yun also hugged his fists.

"It's over," Gan Ning said modestly

Xu Shu smiled with satisfaction, looked at Gan Ning and said: "As long as Xingba guards the Panshan Grain Road, it is not without fault, but a great achievement, the reason why Shu asked you is that I am afraid that you will lead the troops to defend the mountain, Gongsun will be born in a hundred battles, once it is discovered, then our army will be defeated undoubtedly, fortunately Xingba is calm and calm, this is really God helping Hou Ye"

"The military advisor is serious," Gan Ning was a little embarrassed.

"General Gan, Rou will give you 10,000 troops, and I will set off tomorrow and rush to Panshan County, and I must ensure that my grain is not lost," Yan Rou announced loudly.

"No!" Gan Ning replied loudly.

When Zhao Yun took Gan Ning down to prepare, Yan Rou looked at Xu Shu and said, "Yuan Zhi, you obviously know how to keep it, why do you still ask Xingba"

Xu Shu suddenly said solemnly: "Deputy marshal, the so-called general will not give foreign military orders, if the general does not have his own judgment, then even if Shu arranges, there will definitely be many uncontrollable accidents, so Shu must take the school Xingba, if his first sentence is to be stationed on the mountain, with the help of the geographical advantage, Shu will definitely not let him go, because once he has this idea, it is already a signal of extreme danger"

When Yan Rou heard this, she suddenly smiled, looked at Xu Shu and admired: "Strategist, he is really a great talent, no wonder Master Hou trusts him so much, our army will win this battle."

"Deputy marshal, I've won the award," Xu Shu said modestly.

"Rou can't wait to see how this Liaodong King is," Yan Rou exuded a terrifying aura all over his body.

"Shu also wants to see, is Liaodong's head hard, or the stone is hard, the twenty cupola cannons that were transported, the deputy marshal can use them to his heart's content" Xu Shu suddenly said very seriously.

Yan Rou was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.
