Chapter 318: Armageddon (1)
Chapter 318: Armageddon (1)
It's late at night!
Dong Li fell on the couch and slept very deeply.
Cai Yan sat on the couch and quietly looked at Dong Yan who was sleeping, with a distressed look in his eyes.
Ugly lost weight......
Since arriving in Zhangye, Dong Li has hardly really relaxed, and he is either tinkering with things in Dong Yucheng all day long, or busy marching and fighting. It's been almost three years, but the husband and wife haven't said a word. This is not the ugly I remember...... The ugly in my memory is a good man who is cheerful and cares for his family.
But now......
Cai Yan doesn't blame Dong Li, but he blames himself.
She can't fight on horseback like Ren Hongchang and Dong Lu, and she doesn't have the ability to deal with complicated things. She can play the piano, she can recite poems, she can sing and dance, but she doesn't know how to help Dong Li, and she blames herself in her heart.
Cai Yan knows that everything Dong Yan is doing now is to return to the Central Plains in the future.
But looking at Dong Li's thin appearance, Cai Yan really wanted to say: Let's not go back, it's good here.
But she also knew that Dong Li would never listen to her.
Because Dong Yan still wants to take revenge, he still wants to help Liu Bixing restore the Han Dynasty, and he still wants to ......
Unconsciously, Ah Chou is no longer the ignorant teenager in his memory, and he is burdened with too many people's expectations.
Sighing softly, Cai Yan gently stroked Dong Li's cheek.
It's still that ugly, but for some reason, it looks so attractive tonight.
Regarding military and political matters, Cai Yan rarely asked. She can only work hard to make this home more comfortable, whenever Ah Chou comes back from a busy day, can eat a delicious meal and sleep a sweet night's sleep, Cai Yan feels very satisfied.
But today......
She heard Zhuge Jin whisper in private: "The lord has decided to use troops against Dawan, and he wants to end the battle before the year." ”
At that time, Cai Yan still thought it was very strange, he used soldiers to use soldiers, and Ugly was not a rookie who was new to the battle, so what was the use of telling me this? She knew that Zhuge Jin was a person that Dong Yan trusted very much, and among the many advisers around Dong Yan, Zhuge Jin had a family history, knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was also the person who could talk to Cai Yan the most.
"Ziyu, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Cai Yan believes that Zhuge Jin will never say some useless words to her for no reason.
Sure enough, Zhuge Jin said softly: "This use of troops is not trivial...... There are many aspects involved, and the stakes are significant. This time, the use of troops against Dawan will concentrate on the three divisions of the begging army, the Yuan Rong army and the Youyi army, and the lord also asked us to take Guishan City within thirty days, and end the use of troops against Dawan before the beginning of spring. ”
Cai Yan frowned, "So what?" ”
"The master mother doesn't know that the most critical part of the use of troops against Dawan this time is the blocking of the Wusun army at the Turgat Pass......
Cai Yan was unhappy, she didn't like Zhuge Jin's way of talking.
Where is the Turgat Pass?
Cai Yan didn't know, and he didn't want to know. She only wants to know now, what does Zhuge Jin mean by saying this?
"Ziyu, you should be simple, don't be like this."
Zhuge Jin hesitated, "The lord will personally lead the troops to block the Wusun army at the Turgat Pass." ”
It turned out that Dong Li was going to go out in person!
Cai Yan said in his heart: I thought it was something, but it turned out to be like this...... It's not the first time that Ugly has done something like this, so what's all the fuss?
She knows Dong Yan too well.
How big is Dong Li's ability? Cai Yan couldn't say clearly. But there is one thing Cai Yan knows, that is, Dong Yan is not a person who likes to sit at home and strategize. He likes the feeling of being involved, he is adventurous, he likes the feeling of galloping on the battlefield...... If Dong Li is allowed to stay at home honestly, there will be a problem.
With a sigh of relief, Cai Yan smiled and said, "Ziyu, what's all the fuss about?" You don't know the temper of your lord. He likes to charge into battle, and he says it's called the power of example. I can't persuade him about this. ”
Zhuge Jin also sighed.
It's really hard to talk to this talented housewife.
What kind of temper is Dong Li? Zhuge Jin also understands more or less. I think that at the beginning, with dozens of people, I dared to play a game with millions of people in Taiping Dao, which was not something that ordinary people could do. I remember when I met my lord, my lord seemed to like that kind of life very much. But this time, it was different.
The Turgat Pass, located in the upper reaches of the Naryn River, is also the dividing point between Wusun and Dawan, and is the only access road between the two countries.
In addition to this Turgat Pass, you can only enter Dawan by going around Kangju and crossing the Tashkent mountains.
So what exactly does the Tashkent Mountains look like?
Zhuge Jin didn't know, but he only knew that if he wanted to cross the Tashkent Mountains, the price he would have to pay was extremely staggering.
Therefore, whether it is Wusun or Kangju, the only way to help Guishan City is through the Turgat Pass.
The problem is that the beggar army went out, the Youyi army went out, and the Yuan Rong army went out......
The entire central part of the Western Regions has almost all been drained. Moreover, Chen Zhi's Tabai army will go north out of Jiluo and attack Jiankun...... Although the royal court of the Northern Xiongnu was in Zhizhi City, Jiankun was in the royal court of Zhizhi City, so that the Northern Xiongnu's forces could be contained and it would be difficult for them to finish. After all, if Jiankun falls, the Northern Xiongnu will lose face.
The Xuanfeng Army attacked on the Mobei Plateau, and had to face the Xianbei Army of Huchuquan alone.
And Xu Huang's annoying army needs to defend Shuofang, but also to assist the surrendered city, and at the same time to echo with the Xuanfeng army to ensure the stability of the north of Juyan City. Xu Rong's soldiers and horses had to gather with Queyīn to prevent Ma Teng's sneak attack from the rear.
The entire Western Regions can be said to have been exhausted.
Although there was a Tuntian army on the Dichi side, it was necessary to first ensure the safety of the entire Hexi. After all, those naturalized Qiang, Di and Western Regions people, although they surrendered on the surface, the time was short, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not take advantage of the fire to rob.
In other words, in addition to Dong Li's trolls and Beiwei army, the available soldiers in the blocking battle of the Turgat Pass were less than 5,000 people.
And the number of enemy troops that Dong Li will face will be more than 100,000!
Zhuge Jin took a hard time to explain to Cai Yan the dangers of the Turgat Pass.
Cai Yan said that the flowers are lost, and the six gods have no owner.
"Originally, we didn't agree to let the lord do this...... But the lord insisted that no one but him could take on this task. He also said that the more he stayed at the Turgat Pass, the more we would be able to speed up the day of our war against Dawan...... Master, don't you know, the lord smiled and said to General Hua and General Huang and others: I believe in the generals, and you will never let the governor of Pontus throw his life away at the Turgat Pass. The sooner you end the war in Dawan, the sooner I can be safe. So, in order not to delay the spring ploughing of spring, it is up to me to stop the Wusun army! ”
Zhuge Jin imitated Dong Li's tone of speech at that time, which sounded very awkward and ridiculous.
But Cai Yan couldn't laugh!
Put yourself to death and live later, ugly, ugly, you really like to put yourself to death. But why can't you think about your wife and children? If you are gone, how can I and my children continue to live?
After Zhuge Jin left, Cai Yan sat in the room in a daze until Dong Yan came back......
Surprisingly, Cai Yan did not persuade Dong Yan.
Because she knows very well that Ah Ugly has a stinky temper, the things she decides will not be changed, even if it is the king of heaven, it is useless.
As a wife, Cai Yan cooked and cooked a sumptuous meal.
It wasn't until Dong Li fell asleep that she sat silently beside Dong Li, with tears in her eyes and didn't say a word.
"Ugly, I know I can't persuade you, and I won't persuade you, so that you leave the house in a depressed mood. It's just that I also hope that you can take care of yourself more and think more about nǎinǎi, me, and our children when you encounter trouble...... This home is inseparable from you. ”
Cai Yan muttered in a low voice, and after a moment got up and left.
She had just walked out of the room, and Dong Li suddenly opened her eyes. As soon as he turned over and sat up from the couch, he looked at Cai Yan's back and sighed lightly.
Sister, how have I forgotten you?
I know that I have wronged you and my children in the past two years, and when the world is peaceful in the future, I will definitely find a way to compensate you.
Just now......
Thinking of this, Dong Li involuntarily closed his eyes gently.
*****【】*
Juyan City, towering, majestic.
The five-zhang high horse-faced wall reveals an indescribable majesty in the hunting wind, making the city more courageous.
This is the most majestic city among the many towns in the four counties of Hexi, and it will always make every newcomer sigh from the bottom of his heart. Sigh for its majesty, sigh for its prosperity, and of course sigh for its unique precipitousness.
Xu Shu and Shi Tao are also among the many sighers.
"Is this Juyan City?"
Shi Tao couldn't help but admire: "Compared to Chang'an, it's not much better...... If it is not a martial arts marquis, who can build this Xiongguan? ”
As Dong Li's first fan, Shi Tao already has too many emotions after entering the four counties of Hexi.
There was so much emotion that the ears of the people around him were about to give birth to calluses!
Hehe, Shi Tao Xu Shu, it is true that he did not come alone. Since leaving Xiangyang, they have traveled all the way and met many people. Among them, there are Xiangyang Shizi Ma Qiao Ma Boliang and Jiujiang Shizi Jiang Gan Jiang Ziyi are the most.
Ma Qiao was twenty-six years old, and his face was handsome and very majestic.
It's just that he was born with a little white head, which makes him look like he is in his thirties and forties, a little old-fashioned.
This person is very famous in political affairs. Liu Biao wanted to recruit him, but he was rejected by him under the pretext of his father's new funeral.
In fact, Ma Qiao has seen that Liu Biao is not the master of great things.
and Xu Shu and Shi Tao have known each other for a long time, and the arguments are quite similar, so after Xu and Shi left Lumen Mountain, they were the first to visit Ma Qiao. Hearing that Xu Shu Shitao was going to travel all the way to the Western Regions, Ma Qiao also had the idea of traveling. In addition, he was also curious about Dong Li, and the three of them left Xiangyang together.
Of course, before leaving, I had to go to Shuijing Villa to inform Pang Tong.
Unexpectedly, the three of them met Jiang Gan, who had gone out to take refuge due to the troubles in Jiujiang, in Shuijing Villa.
This Jiang Gansheng is well-groomed and quite eloquent. It's just that because of his bad background, and the frequent disasters of war, there is nowhere to stay. According to him, he and Zhou Yu studied Lujiang together in their early years, so they wanted to try their luck in Yuzhang.
But thinking about it, now that there are frequent wars in Jiangdong and many water thieves, he is really ...... alone
Therefore, under the encouragement of Pang Tong and the others, they simply traveled with Xu Shu and the three of them to come to the Western Regions to see the customs.
If it's good, stay, and if it's bad, leave.
After the four of them said goodbye to Pang Tong, they traveled all the way. It is true that I have gained a lot of knowledge, and I have made a few friends with similar interests.
Among them, there is one person, surnamed Yue Mingxi, the right to the word, is the son of the master of the Qingzhou halberd king Yue, so that a square sky painting halberd, there is the courage of ten thousand people.
I heard that Xu Shu and others were going to Hexi, and this Yue Xi also came.
However, he didn't admire Dong Li, but because he heard that Dong Li was the number one military general in the world, so he wanted to come and learn to see if this tiger and wolf general was worthy of his name or was he vain? Xu Shu naturally happily agreed.
Don't forget, Xu Shu also practiced martial arts in his early years.
Although martial arts can't be compared with people like Dong Li, it's not too bad.
He could see that this Yue Xi's martial arts were extremely strong. Maybe if you go to Hexi this time, you can also bring a fierce general to Brother Dong.
As for whether it can be subdued, it depends on Dong Li's means.
Military generals are different from scribes, scribes can agitate a three-inch tongue, but the friendship of military generals still depends on their ability.
In this way, several people traveled all the way west, and when they passed through Jingzhao, they also encountered a caravan.
The caravan came from the elk family in Xuzhou, and it happened to be heading to the Western Regions. The two sides hit it off, and Xu Shu and others took a fancy to the large number of caravans and could hide their identities. As for the people in the caravan, they valued Yue Xi's martial arts and the identity of Xu Shu and others.
Along the way, I went through many hardships and finally arrived at Juyan City.
In Xu Shu's heart, it was as if the river had turned over and the sea had fallen. After glancing at Shi Tao, he urged the horse to go to the city gate. (To be continued, if yù knows what is going on, please log in, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued)
