Jia Hui said: "Your Majesty wrote in the holy decree that the people of the Snow Region are recruiting a large number of troops, and the intention is obvious, it must be to invade Hexi, Your Majesty will let us send troops as appropriate, what good suggestions do you have?" ”

Han Shushu looked serious: "The president of the Snowy People is under the banner of the Yemin Clan, and only the Yemin Clan can gather hundreds of thousands of iron horses, and now they are recruiting troops from the whole county of the Snowy Region, and they will definitely have a huge momentum, at least no less than 500,000 iron horses!" ”

"So, we have to be mentally prepared."

Jia Hui took a deep breath: "Five years ago, Your Majesty dismissed the people of the Snow Region to the Hui clan, and now that they are gathered again, the strength will be even stronger, and we can only rely on the strong city wall to fight against it." ”

Murong Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, said: "Xipingguan is not comparable to previous years, and now it is as high as four zhang and five zhang, and it is as wide as three zhang, which is one of the strongest city walls of my holy dynasty, and it is very difficult for the people of the snow region to break through." ”

Speaking of this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Shushu frowned: "Although Xiping Pass is strong, there are not many soldiers stationed there, and it is General Lei Yan who guards Hexi County, and his subordinates are all elite cavalry, so I am afraid that he will not be able to do it."

Han Shushu's worries are not unreasonable, in the past, Lei Yan's way to deal with the people in the snow region was to kill! Led the elite cavalry to chase it into the hinterland of the snowy region, but this time it was different, the enemy was menacing, it was very likely to be hundreds of thousands, and it was no longer something that Lei Yan could deal with.

Therefore, it is necessary to send a general to lead the troops to block the enemy from Xiping Pass.

"My lord, the last general will ask for battle." Zheng Feng and Zheng Li got up at the same time, both of them holding heavy soldiers in their hands.

Jia Hui looked at it, but shook his head, although the two of them had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, they were all siege troops, and it would be a pity if they were used to defend the city.

As the saying goes, a good outline is used on the blade, and the troops cannot be wasted like this.

Qiancang said: "Or I'll go." ”

Han Shushu said with a smile on the side: "General Qian, the soldiers under your command specialize in formations. It is suitable for large-scale battles, but it is not good to engage cavalry, so. You can't go. ”

In the lobby, there were several generals, and even the dogs were eager to try, wanting to go to Xiping Pass to kill the enemy, but they were all rejected by Jia Hui. Huang Quan also shook his head, although there are many generals, there are a few who can really take charge alone.

At this time, Han Shushu found Liao Yun sitting in the last seat, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"General Liao, why don't you ask for war?"

Hearing this, Liao Yun suddenly got up: "Can I fight?" ”

In fact, Liao Yun didn't want to go to Xipingguan, but when he saw so many people asking for war, he didn't bother to join in the excitement. Because he knew that many of the generals in this hall were more capable than him, and even if he asked for battle, it would not be his turn.

Han Shushu said: "General Liao has been stationed in Languan for many years, has rich experience, and is a god-given general who defends the city. ”

Jia Hui and Huang Quan on the side both nodded again and again, looking at the people in the big tang, only Liao Yun was indeed the most suitable.

"General Liao started six years ago. I followed the lord to conquer the east and the west, and over the years he has made many military exploits, which is the move of my old man and the west. You're the most qualified. ”

Speaking of this, Liao Yun felt a touch of pride in his heart, compared with Fukangan, Zheng Feng, Zheng Li and others, Liao Yun is indeed an old man, he is the first batch of generals to take refuge in Wang Xu, and he has been stationed in Languan. once blocked the 500,000 army of Aoyuntian.

When it comes to defending the city, no one can compete with it in this court.

After a while, Jia Hui had already made up his mind.

"Liao Yun and Goudan stay, and the rest of the generals will retreat." Jia Hui said.

The dog was overjoyed, so he was also qualified to go on the expedition.

"Hehe, thank you, Lord Jia."

Everyone left, and the dog looked at Jia Hui and grinned.

At this moment, in the lobby, there are only five people left: Liao Yun, Goudan, Jia Hui, Han Shushu, and Wen Qing.

Jia Hui said: "You have an army of 110,000 in your hands, and you will be able to make contributions to the garrison of Xiping Pass, don't worry about the matter of grain and grass, you have your own supply from Lord Wen, so you don't have to worry about it, you just need to concentrate on killing the enemy." ”

Jia Hui looked at Han Shushu and motioned for Han Shushu to give an order on his behalf.

Han Shuhua did not postpone it, looked at the two of them and said: "Okay, then take the dog egg as the vanguard, Liao Yun is in charge of the army, and lead the army of 110,000 to the west, I hope you will reach the front line as soon as possible and establish meritorious deeds." ”

"No."

The two excitedly replied in unison.

Jia Hui smiled and said: "In order to make your victory more certain, the Military Aircraft Department decided to equip you with the latest King Wen steel knife and a hundred red-coated cannons, which were originally to be displayed at the military parade ceremony in January, but now you don't need to, you go to the battlefield to parade, I believe that all forces will see it and watch this war." ”

Liao Yun and Goudan grew their mouths at the same time, red-clothed cannons, a hundred!

"Haha, Lord Jia, don't worry, the last general will definitely be able to make a contribution and kill the people in the snow region without leaving a piece of armor!" Liao Yun laughed heartily, and the dog on the side was also very excited, but he didn't expect this high-tech weapon to let them try it first.

This means that the other generals are not here, otherwise they will definitely make a noise when they hear such news.

There is also the King Wen steel knife, which is a weapon many times more powerful than an ordinary steel knife, if all the 110,000 soldiers are equipped, then the combat effectiveness needs to be said, it will definitely increase exponentially.

"You should rest for two days first, and when all the equipment is ready, that is, worship the heavens, the earth, and the ancestors in the school field, and then set out in blood!"

"Order!"

The two bowed deeply, then laughed and left.

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

Three days later, Liao Yun and Goudan swore to set off, and the 110,000 army went out of Languan, crossed Guxi, crossed the Yangtze River, and headed towards Xipingguan in Hexi County, and the normal march would take at least a few months.

In addition, the two of them carried a hundred red-clothed cannons, and the march was even slower, and they could only march sixty miles a day, and one was slow.

Two months after the two of them went out with the army, the Imperial Capital Military Aircraft Office finally received a military report from the front.

Xiping Guan Shou will report in the future, the snow people are moving south, the current king of the snow region, Ye Min arrogantly led 600,000 iron horsemen to the expedition, the momentum is huge, it can be described as the first largest conquest in history!

Of these 600,000 people, 200,000 were from the Yemin clan, and the rest were composed of other tribes, all of whom were equipped with well-equipped war horses and strong combat power.

Getting this news, Jia Hui, Han Shushu and Huang Quan were all shocked at the same time, they didn't expect that this time the people in the snow region would have such a big movement, 600,000 iron horses, their strength is not much weaker than Hu Ling and Cai Wenzhuo and other forces, or even stronger.

This makes the pilgrimage have to pay attention.

In order to ensure that Xipingguan is foolproof, the Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of War jointly decided to use the second route reinforcements, and ordered Qin Shuang to be the main general and the entire army of 80,000 to go out.

This second army set off two months later, two months later than Liao Yun and the others.

After doing this, Jia Hui and the others breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued.) )
