Li Xin, as the chief of the general staff, had actually analyzed the battle situation in the Shanhaiguan area on the way here, and also figured out some problems in building slaves, so he had already expected Lu Xiangsheng's worries.

"I see! So as Lord Lu saw, where are the Jiannu men and horses led by Abatai most likely to knock on the gate from? Li Xin asked Lu Xiangsheng.

After Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he immediately beckoned, asked a guard to come over, untied a long cowhide tube from his back, and after making it open, he took out a map from it and spread it in front of everyone.

"This picture is the map in Wu Xiang's hand, Wu Xiang has given it to us, it can be seen that Wu Xiang is quite sincere in surrendering to us this time!

Look, if Jiannu wants to break through the pass, they can go west to the Yiyuan Entrance, which is the closest place to the west of Shanhaiguan! But here we already have a battalion of men stationed here, ready for it! From the current point of view, although there are Jiannu troops who want to enter the customs from the mouth of Yiyuan, these slave troops are still slave troops under Dolgon, not a group of men and horses led by Abatai!

Therefore, the official judged that Jiannu must go west and find a pass to enter the customs! Looking at it now, the most likely to bear the brunt is Xifengkou! Once they don't choose Xifengkou or can't conquer Xifengkou, then Jiannu is likely to choose Malanguan, Huangyakou, Gubeikou and other passes further west.

Now we have asked Wu Junmen to send someone to Xifengkou to report the news, please prepare the guards there to deal with it, Xifengkou now has the Ming fierce general Zhou Yuji to lead the troops to sit in the town, but the troops are insufficient, he only has more than 2,000 soldiers under his command, plus the officers and troops stationed at Xifengkou, the strength will not exceed 4,000, so once the Jiannu army led by Abatai attacks Xifengkou, then they are afraid that they will be very dangerous! ”

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng mention Zhou Yuji, Diao Zhengke is an "acquaintance" with him, the last time Fu Zonglong led his troops to try to cross the Yellow River to attack Luoyang, and raided Huaiqing Mansion, Zhou Yuji served under Fu Zonglong, but this guy was fierce, and successfully attacked the Yellow River ferry in the area of Huaiqing Mansion.

So for that battle, Diao Zheng can be said to be fresh in his memory, for Zhou Yuji, a Ming general, he also gave special attention, this time when the middle route army hit Baoding Mansion, Diao Zheng thought that he would meet Zhou Yuji, but he did not expect the imperial court to temporarily transfer Zhou Yuji to Juyong Pass to guard, so that he and Zhou Yuji missed the battle, failed to avenge the original Huaiqing Mansion, did not think that later he heard that Lu Xiangsheng actually went to the meeting alone to enter Juyong Pass, persuaded Zhou Yuji to release the left army, let go of Juyong Pass, Let Yan Chongxi and them lead the troops into the customs and arrive at Shanhaiguan one step ahead of schedule, if this is not the case, Zhou Yuji only needs to drag on in Juyong Pass for a few days, then the current situation in Shanhaiguan is probably not like this!

It is very likely that Wu Xiang has defected to the Jiannu army, so that the Jiannu army has already poured into the land of Gyeonggi like a tide, I am afraid that the army has already surrounded the Jingshi at this time! It's not going to be so easy for them now.

So for this reason, Diao Zheng, who originally wanted to kill Zhou Yuji to vent his anger, had to look at this old opponent with admiration, at least in terms of righteousness, it shows that this Zhou Yuji is not a fool, and this alone has helped them a lot!

And Diao Zheng has fought with Zhou Yuji, knowing that this Zhou Yuji is probably a fierce general of the Ming army that they have encountered in recent years, this person is good at leading troops, and fierce and abnormal, the last time Diao Zheng fought with him in Huaiqing Mansion, he felt quite difficult, if it were not for the great advantage of the large and medium firearms, it would not be necessary for anyone to kill the deer!

Now I heard that this guy was running to guard Xifengkou, Diao Zheng felt a little relieved, this guy is a fierce general, not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, with him sitting in Xifengkou, compared to the general Ming general sitting in Xifengkou, it makes people feel much more down-to-earth.

"Listening to Lord Lu like this, I'm still a little slow to wait! So what do we do next, as Lord Lu sees it? Li Xin asked Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng saw that several of their generals had already understood the situation he analyzed, so he replied: "General Li, this official and General Yan have already discussed it in the past few days, and I have an idea to tell General Li!"

At present, the Holy Lord is still on the way to this place, and with our current military strength, it is not enough to completely defeat the Jiannu army outside Shanhaiguan, so I think that we will have to deal with the Jiannu on the defensive for the time being, and wait for the follow-up soldiers and horses led by the Holy Lord to arrive.

Therefore, this official thinks that since we can hold the Shanhai Pass, then now that you have arrived with your troops, we will have a certain amount of strength to divide our troops to help the western passes to assist the Ming army guarding the pass to resist the entry of Jiannu, even if it is too late to prevent them from breaking through the pass, at least it can drag the army of Jiannu on another road in Abatai, so that it cannot easily penetrate into the pass, or threaten Shuntianfu, so now this official thinks that you can not go to Shanhaiguan for the time being, but need to go to the western passes to intercept the other Jiannu army!

I wonder what General Lee thinks? ”

The reason why Lu Xiangsheng discussed with Li Xin in this regard is because of Li Xin's current status in the Dazhong Army, although Li Xin is not like other generals, he directly leads a group of people, but his identity is the chief of staff of the Dazhong Army, and his status in the army is extremely high, it can be said that in the Dazhong and North Korean military, his status is second only to Xiao Tianjian, and all town lords and generals must listen to his dispatch, before Xiao Tianjian came here, he was the commander-in-chief here, and Li Xin has a great vision for the command of large-scale wars. There is a large group of staff officers under his command, like Zhang Xianzhong's military advisers Pan Duao and Xu Yixian, after surrendering to Xiao Tianjian, they are now all staff officers, but they are all under Li Xin's orders, so the ability of these staff officers should not be underestimated.

Therefore, although Lu Xiangsheng has a transcendent position in the Great Middle and Middle Dynasties, he also knows that Xiao Tianjian does not like Wenchen to dictate the military, he often says, whether it is a civilian official or a military general, it must be pure, and each performs his own duties to make the world stable for a long time, and does not like to pursue the Song and Ming dynasties to do anything to suppress the military with literature, although Li Xin is also considered a literati, but he has a military position, so this kind of command matter, Lu Xiangsheng is not convenient to usurp power, so he will discuss this matter with Li Xin.

After Li Xin heard this, he nodded again and again, Lu Xiangsheng's opinion was very close to one of the several battle plans he considered on the way here, and they could be said to have reached a consensus on this point, so the next move was much easier to say.

"Master Lu is a veteran after all! I am very worried, and the general is deeply admired! With that said, it will be much clearer what we should do next! ......" Li Xin saluted Lu Xiangsheng and said.

At this time, Li Xin's main staff officers also came over, including Xu Yixian, chief of staff of the Guards Division, Pan Duao, chief of staff of the Central Route Army, and Lu Xiangsheng, the temporary chief of staff of the Left Route Army, and others gathered around the map to make detailed plans, including Luo Li and Diao Zheng, the main generals, who also listened to them and put forward their opinions from time to time.

"So be it! I led the soldiers and horses of the second town, immediately turned to the area of Xifengkou, and first went to the aid of Zhou Yuji in Xifengkou, if that guy can't stop the Jiannu army, I will lead the troops to block the Jiannu army in the area of Jizhou Town, with our troops, it is estimated that there is no problem in blocking them! If you do a good job, if you don't get these people, you can knock Jiannu out of the pass again! Diao Zheng took the initiative to put forward his suggestion, and he looked confident.

"You can do that! We really can't afford to delay now! General Diao galloped to the aid of Xifengkou is the best! However, I'm afraid the situation over there is very complicated, and the Ming army may not all have good intentions towards the soldiers and horses under your command, so be careful!

In addition, if Zhou Yuji stopped Jiannu at Xifengkou, General Diao might as well cooperate with him to fight Jiannu at Xifengkou! It's best to consume a lot of Jiannu's troops so that they can't enter the customs again!

But there is another situation that General Diao has to consider in advance, Jiannu is eager to enter the customs, once they can't break through at Xifengkou, they are likely to give up Xifengkou and find another way to enter the customs, so once General Diao rushes to Xifengkou and finds that Jiannu has retreated, he must continue to the west as soon as possible, rushing to Malan Pass, Huangyakou or Gubeikou to join the defenders to deploy defenses! In that case, the situation you will face is estimated to be very complicated, so don't take it lightly, and if you can avoid clashing with the Ming army, try not to clash with them too much! Now our main purpose is to drag the serfs and force them not to enter the customs! I hope General Diao can remember this! Li Xin immediately agreed to Diao's suggestion, but reminded him of something.

Diao Zheng immediately nodded and said, "Diao knows!" Those who will act in accordance with the orders will be respected, please rest assured that Senator Lee! ”

"Lu has an idea! Although the Guards Division under General Luo's command is brave, General Luo's Guards Division has escorted a lot of grain and straw on this trip, and most of them are infantry troops. Now we are rushing for time, so Lu thinks that now the situation in the Shanhaiguan area has been stabilized by General Yan, and this side is mostly a battle to defend the city, General Yan's first town army, the cavalry under the command of Vice President Wang basically does not play any role, rather than let their cavalry defend the city, it is better to transfer them and patrol westward, once we have no time to block the Jiannu into the pass, their cavalry can also drag the Jiannu army entering the pass, after all, the Jiannu army has more cavalry, The cavalry under the command of Vice President Wang is faster and can hold them back! It is better to ask General Luo's guard division to go to Shanhaiguan to take over the defense first, and replace the cavalry under the command of Vice President Wang! I don't know if General Luo can agree! After Li Xin agreed to Diao Zhengchi's aid to Xifengkou, Lu Xiangsheng immediately put forward another suggestion.
