In the big tent of the Chinese army in Tianjin Port, a roast sheep is roasted on the carbon rack in the middle, and seven people gather in a circle to eat meat and drink wine here, they are Liu Chen, Tang Long, Xiahou Ying, Situ Jiannan, Sima Xin, Han Shizhong and Shangguan Jiannan.

After the soldiers of the Han army landed, Han Shizhong ordered them to go down and treat them with wine and meat, while Han Shizhong himself took Liu Chen and other senior generals of the Han army to the big tent of the Chinese army, Chen Yuanyuan did not come, because they needed to discuss some things, and Chen Yuanyuan, as the eldest lady of the firm, was not very suitable.

"Haha, Brother Situ, your name is Jiannan, and my name is Jiannan, which shows that you and I are destined, come, brother, I will toast you!" Shangguan Jiannan and Situ Jiannan sat together, the two of them cherished each other, drank vigorously, and hearty laughter came from time to time.

"Master Hou, this roasted whole sheep is a major feature of me here, of course, the characteristic of Tianjin is not roasted whole sheep, the reason why it is said that roasted whole sheep is a major feature, it is because I have a chef, from Inner Mongolia, the technique of roasting whole sheep is a must, Hou Ye taste more!" Han Shizhong said to Liu Chen, who was sitting next to him.

Liu Chen bit the mutton that he had just cut, fat but not greasy, crispy and delicious, it was indeed a rare delicacy, Liu Chen had also eaten roast mutton when he was in the Chinese world, but I have to say that this is the best roast mutton he has ever tasted.

"It's really good, Marshal Han still has a lot of good things here!" Liu Chen said with a smile.

Raising the wine glass, Han Shizhong toasted Liu Chen and said: "This cup is regarded as atonement, I was very negligent on the shore before, and I ask the Hou Ye not to take it to heart." ”

Liu Chen also raised his wine glass, touched it with Han Shizhong, and then drank all the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "Good wine and good meat, Marshal Han, if you are still sluggish, heaven will not tolerate it!" ”

Han Shizhong grinned, then drank the wine, pondered for a moment, and said, "Master Hou doesn't know how much he knows about the situation in Beiping or Hebei?" ”

Speaking of this, everyone else was still laughing and drinking, but when they heard this, they also quieted down, they all knew that they were going to get down to business.

Continuing to bite a piece of mutton, Liu Chen replied: "I don't know very well, I only know that the defender of Beiping County is Zong Ze, and at present, the 100,000 troops of the Jin, Liao and Goryeo allied forces are besieging Beiping, and the rest is not very clear." ”

"Jin, Liao and Goryeo often marched with 200,000 troops in three ways, all the way to Zhangjiakou, with 60,000 soldiers and horses, all the way to Beiping, 100,000 troops, and all the way from Chengde to Tangshan, with 40,000 soldiers and horses, Zhangjiakou defender Pang De led the army and people to actively resist the war, and the battle lasted for more than two months, and the three kingdom coalition forces did not make any substantial progress, but the army under Pang De suffered heavy casualties."

After a pause, Han Shizhong continued: "The second route coalition army attacked Beiping, but the whole people in Beiping City are now soldiers, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army has suffered heavy casualties, but it has never landed in Beiping City, and now the enemy army has blocked Beiping City with the city lock method, and cut off the water source and food supply, according to the general's guess, the food and water supply of Beiping City should be able to last for more than a month." ”

"Now the most critical situation is Tangshan, where the Three Kingdoms Alliance sent the least troops, Tangshan County Guard Pan Bao led half of the army to surrender, and now Tangshan County has been lost, and the troops that have not surrendered in Tangshan County are actively resisting in some counties."

"The most hateful thing is that the defenders of some other counties in Hebei Province have no intention of sending troops to rescue at all, they only know how to protect themselves, so basically the imperial army of the three-line alliance is in a state of isolation."

"The last general has long wanted to send troops, firstly, there are relatively few defenders in Tianjin, and there are only more than 30,000 people in the army, and secondly, there is a shortage of food, and the grain in Tianjin's grain depot can only last for a month, so the last general recruits new soldiers while paying for the four major commercial houses to transport grain."

"Now the food of the four major trading houses has been delivered, which has solved the urgent need, but the recruitment of soldiers is not satisfactory, because the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army went south, and many young people fled to the south with their families, and they recruited here for half a year, and even 10,000 people were not recruited, and they were all new soldiers, and they could not be pulled out to fight at all, which also made the last general depressed."

Han Shizhong is very depressed, it stands to reason that protecting the family and defending the country shouldn't be what the young people of the empire should do? The result is good, all the brains cannot escape, so that now Han Shizhong has no soldiers to recruit.

In this regard, Liu Chen can only sympathize, although Tianjin is also a county, but this county is far less large than Weihai County, and there is only one main city, that is, Tianjin City, the population is much smaller, coupled with the war, so that the already small Tianjin is even more fleeing most, Han Shizhong can have 60,000 soldiers is already very good.

"If Marshal Han is asked to command the troops, how will you enter the army?" After listening to Han Shizhong's words, Liu Chen had a general understanding of the battle situation in the entire Hebei Province, so he groaned for a while, and also asked Han Shizhong.

Hearing this, Han Shizhong said directly: "This last general has discussed with his subordinates before, in addition to the army that needs to be stationed in Tianjin, the last general can only send 15,000 troops at most, enter Beiping County from Jixian County, detour behind the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and sneak attack the enemy, the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army is now like a rainbow, all the way is like a bamboo, they must not have thought that we will do it from behind their backs, if it succeeds, then the crisis in Beiping County will be lifted!" ”

I have to say that Han Shizhong's idea is really good, Jixian is the closest place to Beiping County in the north of Tianjin, from Jixian County to Pinggu of Beiping County, the Three Kingdoms Alliance swept all the way, besieging Beiping County, they would never have imagined that the Donglong Empire would attack from behind, if it really succeeded, then as Han Shizhong said, the crisis in Beiping can be solved, but is it really that simple?

"Marshal Han, you are facing 100,000 enemy troops, even if your army successfully goes around the back of the enemy army, with only 15,000 troops, are you sure that you can defeat 100,000 troops in one fell swoop?" Liu Chen asked, "You know, when you attacked, it was impossible for the army of Beiping City to support you, they were locked in the city, and when they came out, maybe the battle was over!" ”

Liu Chen is realistic, not to mention whether a large-scale march of 15,000 soldiers can hide the reprimand of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, even if he can successfully arrive, with 15,000 soldiers sneaking up on 100,000 troops, the odds of winning this matter are not great!

Han Shizhong's face was a little gloomy and a little helpless, and he said: "This is the only way that the last general and others can think of, to rescue them head-on, it is even more impossible to be the opponent of the enemy, so they can only make dangerous moves!" ”

Shaking his head, Liu Chen looked at Han Shizhong and said word by word: "Have you ever thought about it? Once you fail, the whole Tianjin will reach the most dangerous moment, is it possible that you want to watch Tianjin fall? ”

As soon as these words came out, Han Shizhong's face turned pale, and he didn't speak for a long time! (To be continued.) )
