The Yinshan Mountain Range, the border area between Daxia and Xirong, this is a natural national border, and Xiliangguan is located in the mountains.

In the middle of summer, in July, the sun is blazing, the heat wave is rolling, and the temperature is higher than usual. This year's weather is very different from previous years, as can be seen from the unusual weather in spring.

On the Xiliang Pass, groups of soldiers, standing or standing, hid in the attic on the gate.

"Oh mom, it's really hot this year!"

Many soldiers are complaining about the same problem, and they have been holding this pass for some time.

"There is still half a month, and the brothers will be able to take turns off!"

"Boom——, boom—"

In the sky beyond the attic, several fireballs suddenly appeared.

It was just a matter of a moment, and this attic turned into a sea of fire. The original atmosphere of complaining has turned into ashes.

"Enemy attack, Xirong knocks!"

"Whew-"

The soldiers standing on the city wall guarded, although they were shocked by this scene, they quickly reacted to what had happened.

The sound of the horn of the vigilant battle spread, and in Xiliang Pass, many soldiers who were originally lazy took shields and swords and caught up with the city wall.

"What happened?"

Qiao Shi, the general of Zhenxi who was in charge of the army in Xiliang Pass, was quickly rushing to the city wall at this time, turning on the monoculars and looking into the distance.

"Boom——, boom—" A series of fireballs flew from the sky and landed in the houses behind the city walls.

"Xijon is coming, let go of wolf smoke!"

When Qiao Shi saw clearly what was happening in the distance from inside the monocular, he couldn't help but gasp.

About three miles away from Xiliangguan, a column of soldiers, dressed in Xirong uniforms, constantly operated trebuchets. Behind them, there were also brigades of infantry, in a charging pose.

"Speed out the wolf smoke, and immediately issue an emergency military document. The postal route is tolerant, a thousand miles of urgency, Xirong is coming, be on guard along the way! ”

Qiao Shi saw this scene, as a general, he naturally knew what to do.

"Order the 30,000 defenders of Xiliangguan to stand by in the city!"

As he spoke, fireballs flew from the sky and smashed on the city walls.

"Boom-" There were countless fireballs that smashed from the air.

"General, be careful......"

Before the words of the guards beside Qiao Shi fell, a fireball in the air with a diameter of half a zhang fell on his body. Instantly, the world fell silent......

The first wolf smoke rose into the sky, and then, the city gate of Xiliangguan to the interior of Great Xia was opened, and the first fast horse galloped out, carrying an emergency side report, and headed for Jizhou.

Xiliangguan is connected to the Great Wall, and every few miles, there is a beacon tower. When the first beacon tower ignited wolf smoke, the second place was immediately seen, one after another, wolf smoke flew during the day, and the beacon fire was in the sky at night. Along the direction of the Great Wall, thousands of beacon towers were ignited in less than a day, from Xiliangguan to the Jizhou boundary.

At this time, although the city of Jizhou was as prosperous as before, there was chaos in the court.

"Your Majesty and the four auxiliary ministers, the place of Xiliang Pass, thousands of miles of beacon fire, presumably Xirong knocked on the pass, Xirong came to attack!"

The guard in charge of the beacon tower was panting at this time to report these things to Xia Chang, who was sitting on the Jinluan Palace.

"Postal road tolerance, specific clerical military newspapers, it will take a few days!"

"Oh, what can I do? Xiliangguan is the gateway to Daxia, once Xiliangguan is broken, then Liangzhou will be gone. If Liangzhou is gone, then Xirong will be able to enter Jingchu and Wuyue in the east, and go directly to the land of Yuzhou in the Central Plains! ”

"This year's spring famine, the spare food of the first year has also been taken out for disaster relief! Now, Xirong knocks on the pass, Your Majesty, I'm afraid the military rations are insufficient! ”

Many ministers in the court, you and I are talking about all kinds of crisis situations, as if these things must be solved immediately.

"Ministers, don't panic! This is the court, not the street! ”

The bearded general Wei Entropy, listening to the narration of many ministers, suddenly stood up from his position and shouted loudly.

"The question now is how to defend against the enemy!"

"Four Auxiliary Ministers, do you have an idea for me?"

After everyone was quiet, Xia Chang on the dragon seat in the Jinluan Hall spoke up.

"Let's not talk about Xiliangguan for the time being, let's take a look at the military text of Yanyunguan! Yesterday, Beihun sent hundreds of thousands of troops to garrison in the area of Yanzhou, Yunzhou, and Jinzhou, and it is possible to kill my Jizhou city anytime and anywhere! ”

"Your Majesty, the army of the Northern Huns, yesterday the minister has dispatched manpower to issue documents to various state capitals, ordering the soldiers and horses to draw grain and transfer it to the Yanzhou area. In addition, the government soldiers from various state capitals have been dispatched to various critical places on the Great Wall! ”

Wei Entropy turned around and clenched his fists, stating some of his own treatment plans to Xia Chang.

"The military situation is urgent, so I didn't tell Your Majesty yesterday!"

"Then this road is worry-free, what should I do about Xiliangguan?"

Xia Chang opened his mouth to ask, he knew the importance of Xiliangguan in his heart. It can be said that if this pass is lost, then the entire Liangzhou region and Yongzhou region may be occupied by Xirong in a short time.

"Uncle Eight Emperors, the place where you eat is still in Liangzhou!"

Xia Chang's mood was very complicated, and he could naturally hear the meaning that many ministers wanted to express.

Xia Chun heard Xia Chang ask him this, so he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, since the Hongguang year of the previous dynasty, although there has been a border war with Xirong with constant friction, it has never reached the point of releasing beacon fire. Thousands of miles of frontier, now the beacon fire and wolf smoke, one day, is to tell us the situation of Xiliangguan. ”

"Xirong knocks on the pass, and the Northern Huns are coming, I'm afraid it's not as simple as we imagined. If this king's guess is correct, it must be the main fighting faction of these two countries, united with each other, and wanted to take advantage of my Great Xia national mourning to invade my Great Xia. ”

"The Eight Sages King's analysis is reasonable, and Ben Jiang also has such an idea. Otherwise, if there is no connection between the two and kill the general, the general will not believe it! ”

Xia Chang listened to the discussion between Wei Entropy and Xia Chun. His face immediately turned a little pale: "Two auxiliary ministers, quickly find a way to retreat from the strong enemy." ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that we have discussed it, and I'm afraid that Xiliangguan will also be lost!" Xia Chun sighed, but then he straightened his expression, "However, please rest assured, Your Majesty, even if Xirong comes in, we have a way to beat him out!" ”

As the first assistant to participate in politics, it can be said that he is the leader of the ministers, and the status of one person and above ten thousand people makes Xia Chun have the ability to kill decisively: "Order, 1,200 li urgent documents, to Liangzhou and Yongzhou, all military households have a total of 100,000 households, and each household has one person to train the new army." Ordered Jingzhou and Yuezhou soldiers and horses to transfer 30,000 people each to Xiliangguan immediately! ”

"General Wei, please refer to it, how is this king's decree issued?"

Xia Chun is not a real general after all, but he has also lived in the military camp and understands the truth. As for the final decision, I still have to ask General Wei Entropy.

After all, in the current Great Xia, the emperor has not yet been in power, and everything has to be decided by the four auxiliary ministers!
