What is it to leave me alone? Qin Shen was sitting on the kneeling seat calmly on the surface, but his heart was actually like sitting on pins and needles.

"Ziyi is back with a full load today, right?" After a period of silence, Dou Yi finally forced his face to open the conversation.

Hearing the other party's question, Qin Shen remembered that the customs defense token for today's patrol had not yet been handed over, so he hurriedly gathered his chaotic mind and took out the customs order from his arms, hugged his fists and said: "Relying on the prestige of the general, I was fortunate to get dozens of horses." ”

"It's all your job, what does it have to do with me." Even though he was full of sorrow, Dou Yi was also attracted by his obvious sycophancy, and immediately said with longing: "If this continues, my Wuquan camp will soon have two thousand elite horsemen, but it's a pity that ......"

sighed, and said helplessly: "The sun and the moon are gone, and the years are not with me!" ”

Listening to the other party's infinite emotion, Qin Shen understood this state of mind of not waiting for me very much, because he himself also had the same feelings, no matter before or behind him, he was entangled by a lot of troubles that did not wait for me, and he couldn't figure it out.

He can only ignore this and go with the flow, so for Dou Yi's helplessness, he can only do his duty and do his duty, and the others are really helpless.

The two faced each other silently, immersed in their own troubles and worries, and there was silence in the big tent for a while.

"What is Ziyi thinking?" Just as Yang Zhubo turned his head to look left and right to observe the two of them, Dou Yi took the lead in waking up from his worries.

Shocked by his words, although Qin Shen looked a little flustered when he raised his head, the blank look in his eyes had already returned to clarity, and he sighed lightly: "The subordinates are thinking, if the subordinates had already informed the commander of their worries, I am afraid that things would not have developed to the point of Ruosi." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Dou Yi was surprised and showed a hint of doubt.

"Don't hide it from the captain, his subordinates guessed a clue from the abnormal behavior of the Huns a few days ago, but they didn't take it to heart, until today the Huns sent troops to pretend to loot to make us relax our vigilance, who knows that it is self-defeating, so that the subordinates found something unusual from the other party's clothing, and returned to the camp to report the matter to the captain, but I didn't expect to get such news."

Saying that, he sighed with remorse: "If the subordinates had informed the lieutenant of their thoughts and prepared early, they would not have been caught off guard at such a moment." ”

Dou Yi smiled with relief when he heard this, and said with relief: "Ziyi doesn't need to blame himself, you have reported to me every day, but I haven't been able to detect anything wrong from it?" I just thought that the nearby Huns were all intimidated by your reputation, and they didn't dare to do this looting again. ”

After a pause, he shook his head slightly and said, "Besides, even if you know about this earlier, it won't help much." ”

Listening to the other party's words that seemed to have something to say, Qin Shen opened his mouth to say something and forced himself back, without investigating the bottom line, because he knew that if a person didn't want to talk about it, it would be in vain to ask, and if he could say it, the other party would naturally tell him.

However, after saying those words, Dou Yi fell silent again, but the slight tapping of his index finger sitting on the knee showed that he was in a state of deep thought or reminiscence.

What was he thinking?

As if to shake away all the troubles in his heart, Dou Yi briefly sighed and cast his eyes outside the tent, and said casually: "What does Ziyi think about this war?" ”

"The captain has been guarding the border for a long time, and he has already made up his mind in his heart, and his subordinates dare not speak falsely." Qin Shen said the answer that had been prepared long ago without hesitation.

Dou Yi's insightful eyes glanced at him meaningfully, and he no longer pressed him, laughed at himself and said, "What is the decision?" The way of using soldiers is nothing more than using the right, or using the odd, and the worst, it is just the use of the right and the odd, with the right to help the strange, with the odd to supplement the right, the people who use the soldiers, the method used is unsurpassed, and what is the decision? ”

Similar to the same words, Qin Shen had heard it in Qu Han's mouth, and at this moment, he heard it again, and the difference was nothing more than one person's words of soldiers and one person's words, so he silently waited for the following.

"Just like this war, with the right use, it is nothing more than a trap; With odd, then take the initiative to attack, but no matter what, it is a little insufficient, only the use of both odd and positive, can have a glimmer of life. ”

Qin Shen gasped when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Is the situation unbearable to such a point?" Du Wei has been guarding the pass for nearly ten years and has won many battles, why is he so pessimistic this time? ”

"This time it's different!" Dou Yi showed a bitter expression and sighed slightly, and after a little relief, he returned to his previous calm demeanor, and analyzed: "Although the Xiongnu are still exposed in the end, it can be seen from their behavior today that the other party's commander is a person with deep minds and strategies, and the number of troops is more than 30,000, with Wuquan These defenders may be difficult to support for too long." ”

"Isn't there still a cloud of soldiers and horses to support?"

"In the clouds?" A hint of mockery flashed in Dou Yi's eyes, and just when Qin Shen thought he was dazzled, he said lightly: "Actually, I not only ask for support from Yunzhong, but also make suggestions, just make Jun adopt and send people to the three counties of Wuyuan, Dingxiang, and Shuofang to ask for help, and then any of the counties will go north out of the Saiwai and attack the Xiongnu in a roundabout way, and then our army will fight out from the pass to form a trap, and the inside and outside should be combined, and it is easy to break the Xiongnu, but it is just ......"

Even though he didn't say any more, Qin Shen still heard a lot of meaning from these few words.

It has been nearly four months since he came to this era, and he is no longer a complete stranger to the last years of Xinmang, and he knows from Qu Han and others that many local forces have begun to preserve their strength in accordance with the yang and the yin, so the other party's strategy is naturally as difficult to achieve as a castle in the air.

And Yunzhong and Wuquan were originally dependent on each other's superiors and subordinates, but why did the county guard even show such indifference to the subordinate border passes, he was even more reluctant to involve it at the moment.

It's just that he cares about his personal interests, but he still can't help but ask: "Won't Yunzhong send a single soldier?" ”

"There are still two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled."

Qin Shen's face changed and he was dumbfounded, until this moment, he finally believed that what the other party said about the critical situation was not a lie of self-humility.

"However, it is not without chance." Just as he was meditating on his thoughts, Dou Yi suddenly spoke to attract his attention, and said to each other: "All this depends on whether Ziyi is willing or not." ”

Qin Shenxin finally came, but what reason did he have to refuse? He only hugged his fists and said: "Du Lieutenant, please give orders, and his subordinates will definitely do nothing." ”

In the face of his unrelenting refusal to ask the reason, Dou Yi waved his hand and explained: "I am not ordering or forcing you, if this is the case, I can directly order when the matter is discussed, why do I need to do more?" I just want to tell you what I think, and you can agree or refuse, and I will never blame you for that. ”

"Captain, please." Qin Shen nodded solemnly, knowing that what he was going to accomplish might not be easy, but even though he had been prepared, he was still taken aback by the other party's next words.

"I want you to get out!"

Dou Yiyu was not shocked, and continued: "For several months, the Wuquan Cavalry Battalion has been led by you in turn, and everyone respects you the most, and only you can give full play to the tactics of using bows and arrows to control the enemy at a distance, so I want you to lead the Qianwu Elite Cavalry out of the pass to find a fighter plane to meet the pass." ”

After speaking, he stared directly at him with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.

Qin Shen was silent for a while, he could easily understand the danger contained in it.

The isolated thousand and five people were in the trap of 30,000 or even more Huns, and if they were not careful, they would be embattled, and at that time, the only thing left was to kill themselves like Xiang Yu......

It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is human nature to advance in the face of difficulties, after a short period of hesitation and thought, Qin Shen was no longer silent, but he was not without worry: "There are not many defenders in the pass, if the subordinates take away a thousand and five people, how should the pass deal with itself?" ”

"You don't have to worry about what is going on in the city." Seeing that he did not object, Dou Yi's expression was relieved and he completely returned to his previous calmness and said: "Three thousand guards plus people who support in the clouds, it is expected that there will not be too many problems to deal with more than ten days, if it is longer, I am afraid it will be ......."

said a somewhat heroic sigh short, and said dejectedly: "You know the situation in the pass, so you don't need me to repeat it one by one." ”

Of course, Qin Shen was very clear about the lack of soldiers, food, and equipment in the pass, although he didn't know why, he just nodded when he heard the words, and asked directly: "When will the subordinates leave?" ”

"Judging by the behavior of the Huns, there is no doubt that it should be a surprise attack, so if it is fast, it will be tomorrow, and if it is slow, it will be the day after tomorrow, so it is best for Ziyi to go out of the customs today." After Dou Yi finished answering after pondering, he also felt guilty and compensated for putting him in danger and the other party agreed without hesitation, and said with concern: "Ziyi has other requirements?" ”

If I asked for a reluctance to get out of the jam, would you agree?

Qin Shen secretly smiled bitterly at a slight thought, but he also knew that even if the other party agreed, he would never be able to say this, so he said: "Ten pots of arrows per person, five days' rations, three hundred kegs of hot oil, and then the rest of the simple offensive and defensive materials." ”

Dou Yi didn't show the slightest surprise at his unthinking answer, and he didn't ask any questions about his intention to ask for these materials and his actions after leaving the customs, but just nodded his head to ask Yang Pu, who was recording, "Zhong Yan, is it too late?" ”

Yang Pu glanced out at the sky and said calmly: "My subordinates will do their best, but I think it should be fine." ”

"No." Dou Yi looked back at Qin Shen for a moment, his eyes shot a light containing all kinds of complicated emotions, and finally turned into a light sigh: "In this way, I will write a warrant to you, just wait for everything to be ready, I will ask for the festival to send troops, Wuquan is safe, everything depends on Ziyi!" ”
