When this shocking news was transmitted back to Hexi County, Wang Xu was slightly moved, he didn't expect Hu Ling's speed to be so fast, and he actually took the land of Nanjun while fighting with Yu Yuan, so Hu Ling's strength would be greatly enhanced.

Military Aircraft Division.

Wang Xu called Han Shushu here, there are really a lot of officials here, in addition to the more than a dozen officials who deal with the government affairs handed over from all over the country on weekdays, there are more than a dozen senators who participate in military and political deliberations, these senators are all official titles of the seventh grade, and the daily task is to study the map and study the war, so as to make suggestions when facing the enemy.

Hearing the news from Wang Xu, some of the senators on the re-entry were happy and some were excellent.

Han Shushu said: "King Yuwen, after this battle, Hu Ling's army has been greatly strengthened, and he has two counties, and Yu Yuan is probably not an opponent." ”

Jia Hui interjected: "What's more gratifying, the land of Nanjun is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Hu Lingde, like a tiger with wings, can attack and retreat, even if defeated, you can retreat to Nanjun and be invincible." ”

Wang Xu smiled, he had been studying the map of Nanjun for many days, and he knew Hu Ling's current territory well, east to the Yangtze River of Wu County, west to the border of Qingyuan County, south to the wilderness, sitting thousands of miles on the ground, with hundreds of thousands of armor, it is indeed powerful.

However, the stronger Hu Ling is, the greater the benefit to him now, only if Yu Yuan and Ma Lan are defeated, the imperial court will not dare to look west for a while, of course, the premise is that Wang Xu wants to take the land of Guxi and fight each other with Hu Ling's forces.

"The autumn harvest is almost over, our army is temporarily rich in food, I propose to immediately fight with Malan and recapture the land of Guxi, what do you think?"

Han Shushu has long had this meaning, he was about to say to Wang Xu today, but he didn't expect Wang Xu to bring it up first, and it was just right that Han Shushu said: "King Wen, I strongly agree with my humble position." And a strategy for sending troops has already been drawn up. ”

Wang Xu nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Han Shushu said: "First of all, let Zhao Long defeat Ma Lan's army, and at the same time recall Lei Yan who was stationed at Xiping Pass. ”

"The elite of the iron rider with thunder. I think I will be able to defeat the officers and soldiers of the imperial court! We don't have to worry about the Ma Lan Department stationed in other small counties, all the soldiers will take the Western Capital as soon as possible, as long as the Western Capital is broken, Guxi County will be returned to our army. ”

Wang Xu took a deep breath: "If Lei Yan leaves Xiping Pass, what should the people of the Snow Region do when they go south?" ”

"And. I'm worried that Yu Yuan will help Ma Lan, if that happens, our army will be in danger. ”

Wang Xu's worries are not unreasonable, it must be known that the low wall of Xiping Guancheng is low, and it is difficult to succeed in forcibly defending the city, and when the snowy people attacked in the past, Lei Yan took 80,000 iron horsemen to fight directly, chasing the enemy to the depths of the snowy region.

And Yu Yuan is behind Ma Lan, which is also extremely worrying, if he really rushes to help him. That's not going to be easy.

Han Shuhua smiled: "King Wen, there is no absolute in everything, how can there be a 10% grasp of war, the opportunity is fleeting, we must not let it go, even if there is only a fifty percent chance, we should give it a try." ”

Wang Xu said: "In this case, the matter of sending troops is so decided, and I can give Lei Yan an order and let him return to the royal city." ”

"But Xipingguan is very important. Don't lose it, send a general to garrison. ”

Jia Hui arched his hand and said: "Lord, Li Zhike can take on this great responsibility!" ”

Li Zhi is indeed both civil and military, and knows the art of war. However, Wang Xu didn't plan to let him go, because attacking the Western Capital was just as important, and if there were no two generals to follow, I was afraid that the war would be tricky.

"What do you think of the dry warehouse?" Wang Xu said abruptly.

Jia Hui vetoed: "By all means, although Qiancang is smart, his troops are lacking." It is inevitable that he will be weak, and he still strongly recommends Li Zhi, who has experienced a hundred battles and will definitely be able to defend Xiping Pass. ”

Han Shushu also said: "The humble post seconded the proposal, Xipingguan is very important, and King Wen should not be taken lightly." ”

Many of the senators present also chimed in.

"Humblely seconded."

"Humblely seconded."

.........

Wang Xu frowned slightly, and thought solemnly, if Li Zhi was not by his side, what should Yu Yuan do if he led his troops to aid Ma Lan? Do you want to send a dry warehouse to resist? Sun Yu and Lei Yan's subordinates are all elite horses, and they must go all out to fight against Ma Lan, and they must not be distracted.

After a long time, Wang Xu remembered a person: "Where is Jiang Fei?" ”

Jia Hui said: "Jiang Fei has been on duty under Sun Yu since he returned to Shun, and there has been no transfer so far. ”

Wang Xu still vaguely remembers that Jiang Fei is also quite experienced in leading troops, he once led tens of thousands of troops to fight in the Western Capital School, and he is quite disciplined, he is a talent that can be cultivated, and now that Zhou Yi has perished, Jiang Fei will never have a rebellious heart, which can be assured.

"Let Sun Yu give Jiang Fei 10,000 fine cavalry, and let Jiang Fei lead troops to assist Qiancang and jointly garrison Xiping Pass, this matter is decided, there is no need to discuss it again!" Wang Xu said.

Jia Hui and Han Shushu shook their heads helplessly, they always felt that Wang Xu's arrangement was not appropriate, but Wang Xu had already decided, and they couldn't say anything, so they could only do it.

..............

In the evening, Goudan hurriedly came to Wang Xu's study, his expression was excited, excited, and full of smiles.

"Big brother, are Qiancang and Jiang Fei going to lead troops to garrison Xiping Pass?"

Wang Xu didn't raise his head when he heard the voice, and looked intently at the music on the table: "Yes, just say something, right?" ”

Goudan said: "Big brother, I also want to go to Xipingguan." ”

Wang Xu was slightly surprised, he had already announced in the afternoon that he would send troops to attack Ma Lan in the near future, with the character of a dog, he would definitely ask to be a pioneer, how do you want to guard the checkpoint, this is indeed a bit weird.

"Big brother, my 1,000 crossbowmen have been trained, and their combat power is very high, and defending the city will definitely play a big role, so you let me go."

Wang Xu smiled: "Are you so sure that the people of the Snow Region will go south?" ”

Goudan said: "Lord Han has already said that as soon as the army in Xipingguan withdraws, the people of the snowy region will definitely go south, and after I go to Xipingguan, I will be able to fight in a few days!" ”

Wang Xu understood everything in an instant, it turned out to be a ghost made by Han Shushu, but it was okay to let the dog go to Xipingguan, King Wen's crossbow did help defend the city.

After thinking about it, Wang Xu said: "Okay, I agreed, you can go with them tomorrow, but you must not be reckless when facing the enemy, everything must be listened to Qiancang, if you violate the military order, I will not spare you." ”

Goudan was overjoyed: "Brother Xie, then I'll go." ”

..............

The next day, Qiancang, Jiang Fei, and Goudan, a total of 30,000 troops, headed west, and at the same time, Wang Xu had already given Lei Yan an order to prepare for a change of defense.

As for Zhao Long, who was fighting with Ma Lan, Wang Xu also passed down the word, there was no need to keep his hands, attack with all his strength, and in addition, he ordered Min Ling to assist Zhao Long, to defeat the enemy in the shortest possible time, as long as Lei Yan's army arrived, he could go on the expedition.
