Luo Tong led the army and ran forward for more than a hundred miles, and finally saw people, tents, erected on the grassland, and captive horses, cattle and sheep. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Luo Tong did not order the massacre, he led a group of people, walked over slowly, found an old man, and asked him for directions.

The old man looked at Luo Tong, and then at the army staying in the distance, he pointed in one direction and said, "Go all the way from that direction, and you can reach Xiliang." ”

"Do you know, then, where is your king's tent?" A lieutenant next to him asked.

"I don't know, I don't know..."

"Forget it, don't ask him."

Luo Tong let the old man go and said: "We are lost now, the morale of the soldiers is low, it is not easy to fight them, even if we find Xiao Chenglong, we are not sure of winning, let's hurry out of this ghost place, rest and fight again." ”

"Yes."

Luo Tong stood there for a moment, then turned on his horse and ran in the opposite direction with the army...

According to the old man's guidance, as long as you follow that road, it won't be long before you can reach Yanmen Pass.

Luo Tong didn't doubt it, he felt that the old man wouldn't lie to her, and besides, now he could only choose to believe it.

Of course, to be on the safe side, after running forward for a while, he found a few more people, asked them all, and finally determined the right direction.

Compared with Luo Tong, Wang Qing's work at the moment can be described as impressive.

He was ordered to establish a city in Xiqiang, so that the army could be stationed in the city to effectively resist the enemy.

This is also his advice from beginning to end.

He divided the entire western Xinjiang into twenty counties, each of which was about 200 li, that is to say, the territory of the western Xinjiang was about 4,000 li!

This number is quite terrifying, almost comparable to the entire Xiliang, and such a big place, all grasslands, and snow, endless, never see the end, once people walk in, if they are not familiar with the road, they can get lost, Luo Tong is a typical example, tens of thousands of troops into Xiqiang, can get lost.

When he came here, he first identified three places to establish a city.

The first place is the nearest place within a radius of two hundred miles after entering Xiqiang, and then the left front and the right front are all advanced two hundred miles.

In this way, the first cities that were built on the map formed a triangle, and if one city was attacked, reinforcements could be sent from the other two cities.

Of course, the purpose of reinforcement cannot be achieved now, first, the distance between them is too far, unless it is cavalry; The second is that there is no post station established during the period, there is no supply or anything, and it is difficult to unite.

But as long as this triangle is up, it will be good for the Qiang people.

Three cities, built together, Wang Qing divided his 30,000 people into three parts, day and night to take soil and cast, plus Zhao Yong, Sun Yu to transport stones and wood, the construction period is very fast, only half a month, the outline of the city has been up.

The three cities are about the same size, each ten miles long and ten miles wide.

But now there are only city walls, but there is nothing in the city, not even a single house, all the tents where the army is stationed.

In order to prevent the Qiang people from attacking, Wang Qing ordered to dig a good trench on the periphery of the city and divert water from outside the Yanmen Pass. Then set up the suspension bridge, build the city gate, the whole is similar to the city tower of Yanmen Pass.

On this day, Rotong's 23,000 cavalry finally returned.

Seeing Luo Tong's embarrassed appearance, Wang Qing was very puzzled and asked, "General Luo, who are you?" ”

Luo Tong is indeed embarrassed now, his whole body is covered with dust, and he has become a native man, and even his face is black. The rest of the soldiers were also about the same, and one by one they became dirty.

Luo Tong did not answer his words, found a small river, went to take a bath, and returned to the city.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Qing is still waiting here.

Luo Tong huffed and puffed into his position, and said: "I'm angry, what kind of bird place is this, as far as the eye can see, and there is not even a sign that can recognize the road." ”

Wang Qing asked, "Did the general meet Xiao Chenglong?" ”

"Nope."

Speaking of this, Luo Tong felt a little embarrassed, but he still said it and said: "I took more than 20,000 troops and went around in Xiqiang, if I hadn't asked for the next road, it is estimated that I would not have been able to turn around." ”

In a word, it's lost...

Wang Qing almost laughed, especially when he thought of the smell all over his body when Luo Tong first came back, and that look... But he didn't dare to laugh, and said forcibly: "General, don't mind, Xiqiang is too big, and we are not familiar with their territory, so it's normal to get lost." ”

"Alright, don't comfort me."

Luo Daodao: "Let the soldiers rest for a few days, and fight again after I regroup, this time, I will definitely not make the same mistake again." ”

"Wang Qing, I see that your cities have been built well, and they have done a good job in just half a month."

"General Xie compliments."

Wang Qing took two steps forward, pointed to the map and said: "General, please look, we are now in this city, and we are separated from these two cities by two hundred miles. Er, of course, generals are invincible, I mean if; Then the general will retreat to these cities, and I will station at least 3,000 soldiers in the cities on the front line, so that I can defend the city for a few days, and at that time, I will also receive news that reinforcements will be sent from the other two cities. ”

"yes, got it."

Luo Tong looked at Wang Qing and said with a smile: "I didn't realize that you kid really has some war minds, it's very good, work hard in the future, and the future will be immeasurable." ”

Receiving such praise and evaluation from Luo Tong, Wang Qing was overjoyed and said: "Thank you general, the last general will definitely not disappoint the general and the lord." ”

Luo Tong took a sip of water and asked, "What about Zhao Yong and Sun Yu, are the two of them still escorting supplies?" ”

"Yes."

Luo Daodao: "Alas, isn't it overkill for the two of them to escort supplies, I don't know what Luo Yi thinks." ”

"You go and pass on my order, let the two of them report to me, and then follow me to Xiqiang to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, as for transporting supplies... I sent Zhang Ming, it just so happened that he was Zhang Wancheng's son, and he did these things most appropriately. ”

Wang Qing frowned and said, "But this is the lord's order..." ”

"What? Is my command not working? Luo Daodao: "Do you think it's appropriate to let the two of them escort the supplies?" ”

"It's not suitable....

"Isn't this okay, they made some mistakes in the battle of Yanmen Pass, but they can just change it, and they later made great contributions, which is enough to make up for their mistakes, and the rewards and punishments are clearly right, but I also know that people make good use of them!"

Luo Daodao: "You just have to pass the order, the lord, I'll go and say." ”

"Yes."

Wang Qing pursed his mouth.
