Mu Nanfeng sighed when he heard this. He understood that everything Qin Yi said had already been said to the root, and he naturally couldn't refute it: "That's it, I'll report to the camp master and others when I go back, after all, the area around Liangzhou is too far away from the court." At this time, the situation is already stronger than people, and there is no way back at all. ”

"Indeed!"

After this conversation, the two reached a consensus. The camp area of the Ningde camp has already fallen into an embarrassing situation, and for the chief officer, he must make a decision as soon as possible.

The news of the Xirong army's sneak attack on the Ningde camp was naturally transmitted to the Xiliangguan Pass. At this time, Lian Zheng was looking at the documents on the table at a loss: "The Ningde camp was attacked by Ouyang Yuan behind the detour through the mountain road near Beiliangguan. This attack burned down the grain and grass hoarded in the Ningde camp. ”

"Ahh

As soon as the words of clean government fell, many lieutenants in the lobby were bloodless. They knew very well that if the grain and grass in the Ningde camp were lost, the garrison on the entire Liangzhou border would not be able to be effectively supplied. Even, it is possible to live a life of starvation.

Tens of thousands of troops are assembled on the border, and the daily consumption can be imagined. If there is a shortage of food and grass, it will inevitably fail to resist the invasion.

"Now, Shi Jian, the battalion leader of the Ningde battalion, has sent a message, suggesting that we retreat to Guannei and abandon Xiliangguan and other places." The beard on the corner of the clean government's mouth moved, as if he was doing something to confirm, "Outside, the king's order is not affected, the current situation is stronger than people, and it is understandable that such news was sent from the Ningde camp." ”

"General, we've been stationed here for more than three months. Although he has been holding on without fighting, in the end, he is also showing weakness to Xirong......"

"It's not that I don't want to go out of the city to fight, but I have scruples. Xiliangguan is a critical place, with great strategic value, and it is far more likely to hold on than to take the initiative to attack. And now, the Ningde camp has encountered a crisis, there is a shortage of food and grass, and it is impossible to go to war, and retreat may be the best choice. ”

Lian Zheng refuted the remarks of a deputy general, and it was obvious that this veteran of the battlefield, who knew some rules and regulations, had rich experience, and quickly judged what kind of situation Xiliangguan was in.

"Now, the North Liangguan and South Liangguan have been breached, and the rear is no longer safe. Even though our city is hard enough, the feeling of being attacked on the back must be extremely uncomfortable. ”

As soon as his words came out, they were recognized by many people.

"The crisis in Ningde camp has shown that the danger of Yinshan is no longer there. We might as well let the Xiliangguan pass and let their Xirong army drive into the Liangzhou territory. Then, if we clear the wilderness, let them go deep alone, and wait to attack, we will definitely be able to find effective fighters, and we will definitely be able to win a big victory. ”

Among them, there are people who are constantly suggesting things to the integrity of the government, and they also have a deep enough strategic vision. These lieutenants, who are stationed in the Xiliangguan area all the year round, have a deep understanding of the environment here. They understand that there is already a crisis in the backland, which already means that it is no longer safe.

Even if it persists, it can only be in vain for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the army, and in the end, Xiliangguan will still be lost. In this way, it is better to retreat in advance, so that you can make some counterattacks.
