Sun Jian said: "But my lord, Zhou Gandang's move is to reap the benefits." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"He asked us to fight against the Tang Army, but he was cowering in Jincheng, and when we fought with the Tang Army, or we were defeated, he would come out to clean up the mess, or continue to carry Tang, or take me Longxi, his heart is sinister."

Luo Yi didn't take this into account, his eyes were all fixed on Wuyang County, and he reacted when he was reminded like this.

"Yes, it's really sinister."

Luo Yi said: "It seems that this should be another bad idea given to him by Li Heng." ”

Zhang Wancheng said: "If that's the case, then we can't help him!" If you want to reap the benefits, you want to be beautiful. ”

Sun Jian said: "Besides, our soldiers have just set out to conquer Xiqiang, Xiqiang has just experienced a big defeat, this is an excellent time, if it is missed because of Zhou Gandang's affairs, it will not be worth it." ”

Luo Yi smiled: "Okay, since you all say so, then this matter is over, I will reply to Zhou Gandang, my army is going to resist the Qiang people, I can't draw more troops, in order to guard the border, I can only let him think of his own way." ”

"Alas, I'm only worried, he can't bite Jin, Xu Maogong and others, Xiliang, I'm afraid it's going to be over..."

"Don't worry, my lord." Sun Jian said with a smile: "Don't look at Zhou Gandang pretending to be pitiful, in fact, he is far from that step, his general A Guduo has a fierce offensive in Jiangnan, winning a hundred battles, and has almost captured Jiangnan, which is dozens of cities." With fertile land, abundant personnel, and the granary of the Tang Dynasty, how could he not cope with the current crisis? ”

Luo Yi said: "I hope so, otherwise, I will be in great trouble in Longxi." ”

Sun Jian doesn't think so, in his eyes, Xiliang is still solid; At least, with Cheng biting Jin's more than 100,000 horses, he will definitely not be able to capture Jincheng, Zhou Gandang has been in Xiliang for so long, and it is not in vain, and the Jiangnan that he fought down is not in vain.

Take a step back and say, even if one day, Xiliang is really gone, Datang is also seriously injured, and at that time, Longxi has already obtained Xiqiang, got the snowy region, has countless war horses, countless resources, and a big account of strength, and it may not be impossible to fight.

Golden City.

After receiving Luo Yi's reply, Li Heng and Zhou Gandang were very disappointed, and the two finally gave up their previous plans and began to think of other ways.

At present, the most important thing is to find a wise general who can lead troops to fight, there were Du Ran and Fu Yan before, and they were barely competent, but now that both of them are dead, who should they let go?

Zhou Gandang thought about it and paid attention to Li Heng, Li Heng is his minister of state, he knows the art of war, and he pays a lot of attention, isn't he a good candidate, no one can match him.

"King, I can't, I can only..."

"Why can't you do it, I think you're very good, with you out, you will definitely be able to kill Xu Maogong."

Zhou Gan said: "Don't underestimate yourself, with my understanding of you, you are completely competent." ”

"But the king, the minister does not know how to march."

Li Heng couldn't cry or laugh, it was okay for him to help come up with ideas, he had never thought about fighting or something, and he didn't understand the doorway. Not to mention leading troops.

However, Zhou Gandang was as iron-hearted as he said: "Prime Minister of State, now that I am in danger in Xiliang, can you just sit idly by?" If you don't come out, do you want this king to go on a personal expedition? ”

Li Heng was also about to suggest that the royal driving pro-conquest may not be a good strategy, but when Zhou Gandang said so, Li Heng felt that the matter of the imperial conquest, I am afraid that don't think about it, Zhou Gandang has no such plan at all.

Li Heng suggested: "King, Jiangnan has almost been attacked, I think, should General Aguduo come back?" Leave a deputy general to guard Jiangnan, and change the attack to defense. ”

"No way!"

Zhou Gandang flatly refused, and said: "Jiangnan was captured, it is my granary in Xiliang, if there is no General Aguduo to garrison, how can I rest assured?" ”

"Li Heng, you don't need to say it, this king will hand over all the 30,000 newly recruited soldiers to you, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the west of the city who originally defended Luo Yi will also be given to you, plus the soldiers and horses of Baihu Pass, a total of 100,000, this king believes that you will definitely be able to win." As for the generals, you can call them at will, as long as I have Xiliang, even if you open your mouth, this king will satisfy you. ”

Li Heng was speechless to the extreme, looking at Zhou Gandang's meaning, he really planned to let him go on the expedition.

He strongly disagrees with this matter, it has always been, Wen died to build, martial forces fought to the death, and sent a belt of scholars to the battlefield, isn't that a loss.

"You go, even if this king gives you practice, you will go on the expedition in three days!"

"But the king..."

Li Heng came back to his senses and was about to defend himself, but Zhou Gandang waved his sleeves, but it was a powerful hall.

Li Heng chased after him for two steps, but was blocked back by Zhou Gandang's personal soldiers.

"It seems that it is not possible to go on a campaign, alas... I really don't know what the king thinks, but he let me go on a campaign, and I am ridiculous in the world... Li Heng muttered to himself, shook his head and walked out of the palace.

White Tiger Pass. At this time, this ancient city was under fierce attack by the Tang army, and its tragic situation cannot be described in words.

There are no more than 60,000 soldiers in the city, and after more than half a month of garrisoning, a small half have died, and there are less than 40,000 left.

If the fight continues in this way, within three days, the White Tiger Pass will be broken.

Of course, the Tang army also suffered heavy losses in the attack for half a month, such a tall city tower, without paying the price, can not be rewarded, but even if the loss is large, it must be big, if you don't attack it now, it will be difficult to capture it in the future.

"Newspaper... Report.... "The city is under attack, and the person in charge of garrisoning is a deputy general named Sun Xiang in the army, who was originally Fu Yan's most trusted general, and now that Fu Yan is dead, he is directly on the throne, although he has not been officially appointed, but everyone agrees. Hearing the voice of the scout behind him, he jerked his head back and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Sun Xiang is in his early forties, but he looks relatively young.

The scout said: "The king has worshiped Li Hengguo as a general and led 30,000 troops to help, but..." ”

"But what?"

The scout said: "But Li Guoxiang has given an order, let us immediately exit the White Tiger Pass and evacuate." ”

"What?!" Sun Xiang looked stunned, evacuate? What's the situation? If you have been stationed in the city for so long, you don't want it?

He frowned and didn't say: "What the hell is this Li Guoxiang, is he here to help or to make trouble?" ”

A few generals walked beside him, and one of them asked, "General, shall we withdraw?" ”

Sun Xiang shouted: "What to withdraw, the White Tiger Pass is the last dangerous pass in my Xiliang, once evacuated, how to resist the Tang army?" Li Heng must have seen that my Xiliang was weak, and his mind was big, you all listened, no one was allowed to listen to him, let me continue to hold on, the White Tiger Pass must not be lost! ”

"Yes."

Several generals answered, turned around and continued to urge the soldiers, fighting tenaciously.
