At that moment, Du Jie led Li Yanzhao to his tent and motioned for Li Yanzhao to sit casually. Li Yanzhao found a position to kneel down and sat down. Du Jie has summoned the herald and ordered him to go and invite Zhao Chengzhi, the commander of Bu Command, Sun Jianxiong, Sima Pangxi, and the generals of more than 100 people in the army to come to the big tent of the Chinese army to participate in the military meeting.

The herald took the order and departed. It didn't take long for Sun Jianxiong, the commander of the shooting voice, to lead his five hundred commanders into the big tent with a solemn face, and under the signal of Du Jie, the commander of the thousand people, they were on the opposite side of Li Yanzhao. After the six of them knelt down and sat down, Sun Jianxiong looked at Li Yanzhao, his eyes were full of inquiry, and Li Yanzhao just shook his head quietly and gently, indicating that he didn't know anything about it.

It didn't take long for Zhao Chengzhi and Sima Pangxi, who were all leading several of their subordinates to enter the big tent, and under Du Jie's instructions, they all found places to sit down. These generals didn't know the intention of the Thousand Governors to summon everyone to the big tent, and they whispered to each other from time to time, but all they asked was the same doubts as the rest of the people around them.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Du Jie sighed, and then raised his hand to signal the tent general Zuo to calm down. As Du Jie's right hand rose and fell, the humming sound of the tent finally quieted down until the needle dropped.

After the tent was quiet, Du Jie raised his head and looked around at the generals of the Guangwu Army present, and then spoke, his voice was heavy and full of sorrow: "At noon today, Captain Sun answered the cavalry who went out to investigate yesterday, and there were eleven people, and only two remained. ”

Hearing Du Jie's announcement, there was a sudden sound of consternation in the tent.

Du Jie raised his hand again to quiet the tent, and then said: "Since the first time Li Bairen led his cavalry to cross the river and return from the sentinel, in just four days, two sets of sentry cavalry have been sent one after another, but they have already lost two teams and eighteen cavalry. Du wanted to ask everyone here what they thought about this matter. In today's military discussion, you can speak freely. ”

"Thousands of governors, the last general thinks that Henan Chen An's department must be wary of me. It is even very likely that he will cross the river in a big way and enter the realm of Koma! ”

Li Yanzhao's gaze turned to the general who stood up to answer, and it was actually Zhao Chengzhi, the infantry commander of the Guangwu Army. Hearing what Zhao Chengzhi said, Du Jie thought about it for a while, and then asked: "On what basis does Captain Zhao judge that Chen An's subordinates will be on my border?" ”

Zhao Chengzhi clenched his fists and bowed slightly: "This is the general's guess." Before, our department and Chen An had mutual sentry actions all year round. However, in the past, even if the sentinels of the two armies encountered, they never intercepted each other. Now Chen An has recruited the people of Diqiang and formed a company camp on the bank of Taoshui, which is an extraordinary period. However, at this time, the other side suddenly attacked and intercepted and killed our sentry cavalry, and its purpose was self-evident. ”

After a pause, Zhao Chengzhi spoke again: "The other department intercepted and killed our sentry cavalry, so that our department could not detect most of its movements. Previously, Chen An ordered the people of Diqiang to hoard in Taoshui, probably deliberately showing it to me, making a gesture that he was about to go east to attack Zhao, and then intercepted and killed our sentinels, so that I could not detect their movements, and then mobilized most of them, and suddenly crossed the river to attack. If it comes to that time, Guangwu is in danger! ”

"If Guangwu loses, his troops can drive straight into Guzang and reach Guzang!" Zhao Chengzhi's movements against the enemy army. A judgment was made that everyone in the tent was extremely shocked.

Du Jie waved his hand, motioned for Zhao Chengzhi to sit down, and then groaned. Zhao Chengzhi said that in today's situation, there is no doubt that there is a possibility. At least for now, Chen An is still nominally Liu Zhao's subordinate. Although he did not accept Liu Zhao's decree and had many misdeeds, if he used troops against Liangzhou in the name of Liu Zhao's ministers, he intended to go straight to the place where Guzang Prefecture was governed and forced to land the state governor. Its intention to annex Liangzhou was undoubtedly successful.

In the Guzang Governance Office, there are not only the Zhang clan in Liangzhou, but also the patriarchs and heads of many local scholars in Liangzhou, such as the Song family, the Yin family, the Xin family, the Suo family, and so on. If Chen An can really overcome Guzang quickly, even if the states and counties are not satisfied, and he will do his best, he can only throw a mouse trap and wait and see.

Du Jie pondered, and another general in the tent stood up from the futon, hugged his fists and bowed to him, and said: "Thousands of people, the last general's opinion on Zhao Duwei cannot be agreed. ”

The one who came out to speak was Sun Jianxiong, who led his troops to pick up the cavalry. Du Jie nodded and said, "If Sun Duwei has any high opinions, you might as well tell me." ”

The last general asked the surviving soldier, and he said that he had intercepted and killed the enemy cavalry led by the Lin team, but there were only twenty or thirty people. At this scale, it was a large group of enemy sentinels. And the cavalry said that when they entered the first-line reconnaissance post of Taoshui yesterday, there was still no movement in the Qiang camp on the bank of Taoshui. ”

"If it is really as Zhao Duwei said, Chen An is plotting to attack our county. The department will definitely not be so sluggish. If Chen An has such a plan, he should gather a large army, cross the river from Jincheng County, quickly enter our county, and conquer Ben County with the momentum of thunder, and then plunder food and goods, thinking that it is a military need, and at the same time gather his main force, coerce the people of Diqiang, and go straight to the city of Guzang. ”

"The defense of Guzang City is not strong, and it is difficult to hold it. In this way, Chen An can quickly overcome Gu Zang, or besiege the city to help. There were not only envoys in the city, but also the chiefs of the various clans. Most of the county guards in various places are disciples of the clan. Even if he did his best, most of them took care of the people in the city, and it was difficult to show their strength. ”

Therefore, in the opinion of the last general, Chen Annai is a long-term general. If you plot against my Liangzhou, you will never be stationed on the banks of the Taoshui River and waste time. It will inevitably sweep through our state and county with a thunderous force. Although Chen An has repeatedly suffered losses under the elite soldiers of our state before, it is no secret that there are few major generals in the county and county towns of our state. Chen An has now raised tens of thousands of Qiang, and now it is not what it used to be, and he intends to attack our state and county, and he will never delay it for so long. ”

Sun Jianxiong told his judgment to many generals in the army, and then sat back on the futon under Du Jie's instructions.

Du Jie thought about it for a while, and Sun Jianxiong's judgment on the situation was reflected in Du Jie's mind at this time, which also made him have a more transparent view of the current military situation.

As Zhao Chengzhi said, the possibility of Chen An capturing Liangzhou exists. However, according to Chen An's current strength, it is not difficult to raise a large army to cross the river and suddenly attack Guangwu County, and even the other three counties under it.

After conquering the entire Guangwu County, Chen An's troops could drive straight into Guzang City. At that time, Liangzhou could be described as critical. Whether it will be enough to fight Chen An is still unknown.

Since the benefits of the raid are so many, but Chen An still hoards the people raised by the Taoshui, it can only explain one problem: Chen An's goal is not to be cold, but to attack Zhao!

And the cavalry sent by his side has been intercepted and killed repeatedly, it is likely that Chen An's subordinate sentry cavalry has discovered the traces of his own sentry cavalry, or it can be said that he has mastered the activity law of his own sentry cavalry, so he has a temporary intention, and he has calculated or unintentionally killed his own defenseless sentry cavalry, so as to demonstrate, or to warn his own side, it can be completely reasonable.

Thinking about this, Du Jie waved his hand to stop the generals who were about to quarrel, and said solemnly: "If such an enemy army is still active in the land of Henan, for me, it is like a fish in the throat, and it is not unpleasant. The general has made up his mind to wipe out the enemy army that attacked my sentry! The generals will deliberate, if they want to be cleared, how should they stop? ”

"The subordinates are willing to lead their troops to cross the river and pretend to be sentinels, but they are really bait!" Hearing the determination of Du Jie, the first thousand people, Li Yanzhao hurriedly made a statement. In his heart, he is also determined to wipe out this enemy army that has repeatedly attacked his sentry cavalry!

"Li Shuchang has not recovered from his serious injury, how can he fight again in the battle? You might as well ask your subordinates to take their place. Du Jie remembered Li Yanzhao's injury, and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Yan Zhao thanked thousands of governors for their concern, but this group of thieves killed my robe and disturbed our army's heart. Li's trip, if he doesn't destroy this fang, he won't return to the camp if he dies! I hope that thousands of people will be supervised! ”

Du Jie had the intention of preventing Li Yanzhao from taking the risk himself, but seeing his resolute attitude, he also gave up the idea of persuading him.

"Captain Li can appoint two captains as the new team leader on merit. If the captain has made up his mind, he will no longer hinder him, but hope that the captain will return victoriously. Although Du Jie's face was gloomy, seeing this situation, he still lightly sent his wishes to Li Yanzhao.

Li Yanzhao hugged his fists and bowed, then took a self-drawn map from his arms, took a few steps forward and placed it on the desk of Du Jie, the governor of the thousand people, and drew a few circles on the map with the index finger of his left hand invisibly: "The governor of the thousand people, please see, the last time my sentinel sentry, after crossing the river, I feel that I can settle down, only I show a few points." The next two sets of sentinel riders will inevitably settle down in these places. ”

Li Yanzhao thought for a while, and pointed to a valley between two mountains with his left index finger: "There is a water source here, and it is hidden, if I am an enemy sentry, I will definitely settle here." I would like to ask the 1,000-person superintendent to select about 200 sharp soldiers in the army, disguised as mountain people and woodcutters, etc., and enter the Jincheng territory in batches. Let's wait for me to lead my subordinates to go here to investigate. If the enemy sentry mounts settle here, I will send a message to my allies asking them to cooperate in annihilating this enemy sentry here! ”

"If the enemy sentry is not hiding here, I will continue to spy on them to lure them into the trap. Allies can ambush us to the left. If the enemy sentry attacked, we will fight and retreat, and lead them in, and then the friendly troops can wait for the enemy to fight with us, and then rush out and annihilate them! ”

Li Yanzhao designed a plan to annihilate this enemy sentry horse. It can be said that it is the most suitable plan for the current situation.

At the cost of the lives of many soldiers, I finally understood that the land of Henan was by no means a place without malice.

However, the arrangement that Li Yanzhao said has light and dark, and light and dark complement each other. In addition, the rest of the generals have been silent on this decision-making link, which makes Li Yanzhao's strategy the only feasible strategy at present.

Du Jie, the thousand-man governor of the Guangwu Army, who was sitting at the top, carefully looked at the map placed on several cases, and finally nodded, and said that he allowed Li Yanzhao's plan.
