Hou Gongji came to report that Gushi Khan led more than 200,000 troops to surround Hamiwei, and the battle in the northwest finally entered the most critical stage.

At this time, it was time to set off with a large army, he ordered 40,000 elite foot soldiers, plus 70,000 cavalry, and was about to set off for Handongwei, but a telegram came from the capital: The emperor is about to arrive at Jiayuguan!

Sun Chuanting had to stop to greet the holy driver, he didn't want the emperor to follow him and run to Handongwei, because it was too close to the front line, and if something went wrong, he would die.

Fortunately, the emperor came up quite quickly, and on the night when Gushi Khan had just led a large army to surround Hamiwei, the holy car arrived at Jiayu Pass, followed by the first legion of the Praetorian Guard.

At this time, Jiayuguan is no longer the original lonely pass, due to the relationship of the railway station, more and more civilians gathered here, Sun Chuanting simply built a small city in the pass on the Great Wall of Jiayuguan.

Of course, this city is mainly garrisoned, and the west of the city near Jiayuguan is a brick and stone barracks, and only a small half of the east of the city is a place for civilians to do business and live.

The emperor came to Shaanxi Xingdusi, and the place to stay should naturally be arranged in advance, but when Sun Chuanting received the news, the emperor's holy drive was about to arrive, which caught him a little off guard, but fortunately, a more magnificent general's mansion was built in the middle of the military camp in the west of the city, which was for the town guards to live, and the conditions were barely okay.

Originally, Sun Chuanting lived in the general's mansion, and he was going to lead the army to fight at this time, so naturally he had already moved out, and it just so happened that Ma Xianglin, the town guard, had not moved in yet, and even saved the time to make up the place.

The Holy Driver arrived at Jiayu Pass, this matter naturally cannot be publicized, and there are more than 300,000 Watt Thorn Coalition troops outside the pass.

That night, the Second Regiment of the Frontier Guards blocked the railway station early, and all the idlers were driven to the civilian area in the east of the city, and the entire railway station was surrounded by officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment of the Border Guards, and there were only a group of senior generals and their guards in the station.

The latest twenty trains carried a car of soldiers of the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard entered Jiayuguan Station one after another, and the defense of the station was slowly taken over by the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard.

After about an hour of busyness, the officers and men of the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard finally got off the line, and the emperor's special train immediately entered the station.

On the platform, Sun Chuanting led Cao Bianjiao, Ma Xianglin, Zu Dabi and other senior generals to stand there upright, greeting the holy driver.

The first to come down was Wang Zhengnan and dozens of Jinyi guards, and after they protected the platform, Zhu Cijiong finally walked out of the car under the escort of Cao Huachun and Qin Liangyu.

Sun Chuanting immediately took the lead in kneeling on one knee, and the mountain shouted: "The last general will greet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." “

It's the rule, if it weren't for the armor, they would have to lie on the ground.

Although Zhu Cijiong didn't like these rules very much, the dignity of the emperor must be maintained, so he would not prevent others from saluting in public.

After they finished shouting, Zhu Cijiong immediately stepped forward quickly, grabbed Sun Chuanting's arm, and said kindly: "Boya, please get up quickly, hard work, hard work, everyone should get up." “

The generals shouted in unison, thank you to the emperor, and then stood up with Sun Chuanting.

Zhu Cijiong was most concerned about the battle situation on the front line, and after the generals finished saluting, he immediately asked cordially: "Boya, how is Hamiwei, has the Tile Spur Coalition Army started to attack the city?" “

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, Hou Gongji sent a telegram, Gushi Khan led more than 200,000 troops to surround the Hami Guard when it was close to today, and it is estimated that it will take them two or three days to build siege equipment, and Hami Wei has nothing to do for the time being." The last general prepared to lead his army to Handongwei tomorrow, waiting for the army of Vaspur to attack the city and defeat it in one fell swoop. “

It seems that it came at the right time, Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but feel relieved, but the defeat was not what he wanted, it was best to be able to annihilate it, no matter how bad it was, he would try to consume the strength of the Tile Spur Alliance, so that they could no longer return to the Tile Spur to organize effective resistance.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "It just so happens that I also have some ideas, and I said in the telegram that it is too troublesome, why don't I find a place, let's sit down and have a meeting." “

Today's emperor loves to hold meetings, which is already known to the world, as long as the officials who are not too old-fashioned will learn from the emperor, the entire conference room or something, often convene subordinates to meet to discuss and discuss, not to mention, this meeting is really quite effective, and general things can be discussed at the meeting to come up with a good solution, so the wind of the Ming meeting is slowly prevailing, and there are more and more conference rooms.

Sun Chuanting is not an old-fashioned official, and he has also fought with the emperor many times, and he also highly recognizes the way of holding meetings, so he also often holds meetings, and there is a conference room in the general's mansion in this Jiayu Pass.

Now that the emperor is talking, he hurriedly led a group of generals to lead the emperor to the Jiayuguan General's Mansion.

The people who held the meeting didn't need to be called, they all came, only Hou Gongji was surrounded by Gushi Khan in Hamiwei and couldn't come, and the other generals were basically there.

About half an hour later, all the generals gathered in the Jiayuguan General's Mansion, Zhu Cijiong sat in the first place, and a meeting on the northwest strategy was officially held.

I have to say that the development of technology has indeed brought a lot of convenience, like in the past, if the meeting was held at night, the dim light always made people extremely uncomfortable.

Now it's different, it's been a while since the electric lights came out, and it's been more than two months since the beginning of the year, almost all the yamen in the capital have been installed with electric lights, and in the core of this Northwest Theater, Zhu Cijiong naturally sent the electric light generator and other facilities early, so the conference room of the Jiayuguan General's Mansion was brightly lit at this time, as bright as day!

Due to the urgency of time, Zhu Cijiong did not carry out friendly means and too much politeness with everyone, and when everyone sat down according to their positions, he directly announced the start of the meeting.

First of all, it was Sun Chuanting who introduced the current situation of the Northwest War and the plan he was going to adopt next, and he directly took a large map of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, spread it out on the conference table, and explained it in detail.

Zhu Cijiong listened carefully to Sun Chuanting's introduction, and at the same time thought quickly in combination with the current situation and his own strategic plan.

Judging from Sun Chuanting's introduction, the situation is still very good, if the tactics are right, maybe they can really annihilate the Tile Thorn Coalition near Hamiwei in one fell swoop, in that case, the strategy of the entire Western Regions is almost half completed!
