A month later. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Southern Xinjiang.

A certain county.

The inner house of the government.

Jiang Yiyuan was lying on the bed, surrounded by Pang Yi, standing Jiang Yiqu and Zhou Meng, since Jiang Yiyuan was injured, almost every day the three of them would come to visit, without Jiang Yiyuan, for a time they did not dare to march forward, they could only stick to the existing city.

In today's situation, it would never work without Jiang Yiyuan, and if it drags on like this, it is estimated that within half a year, the army should be defeated.

Jiang Yiyuan opened his eyes: "Lord..." ”

"Yiyuan, you're awake, how are you feeling today?"

"Much better. Thank you for your concern. ”

Jiang Yiyuan frowned and said, "Lord, how is the war going now?" ”

Speaking of the war, Pang Yi, Jiang Yiqu, and Zhou Meng all sighed at the same time, and the expressions of the three of them said it all, the current situation is quite bad for them.

"What's the matter, lord? Is the army of King Yu coming? ”

"Oh... Not really. ”

Pang Yi said: "Yiyuan doesn't know, just a month ago, Zang Batu, under the command of the little emperor, led 20,000 Praetorian Guards to defeat the 150,000 army of King Lan. So he gave up the eastern frontier. ”

"Abandoned Dongjiang?"

Jiang Yiyuan said: "He came back to southern Xinjiang again?" ”

Jiang Yiqu said: "Yes, it is reported that King Xiaojin abandoned the territory of Eastern Xinjiang, took the remaining more than 70,000 elites, and went to Southern Xinjiang overnight, arrived half a month ago, laid out defenses, and has been in contact with King Yu, and the two seem to have an alliance." ”

Pang Yi said: "He saw the defeat of our army and thought that there was a advantage to take advantage of, so he came to southern Xinjiang and fought in the imperial court, which made the little golden king lose his courage." ”

Zhou Meng also interjected: "It's a bit difficult to do now, King Yu and King Xiaojin colluded together, and the number of troops reached 350,000, and we... Alas.... ”

"My lord, how many troops do we have?"

Jiang Yiyuan looked at Pang Yi and asked.

Speaking of troops, it is even more annoying, almost half of them died in the last battle, the dead were killed, the wounded were wounded, and Jiang Yiyuan was injured, and the morale of the various armies was also low, and they had no intention of thinking about war at all.

All the soldiers were worried, without Jiang Yiyuan, would the army still be able to win the battle, and if there was a war, would they still be able to live?

Pang Yi said: "After the defeat of our army, in addition to the county soldiers stationed in various counties, there are 90,000 soldiers in this city, of which more than 10,000 are wounded soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers is low, and they have no intention of fighting at all. ”

"Our current strength is really not as good as before, half a month ago, I asked that Yiqu to recruit 30,000 new people, all stationed at the border, and it can be regarded as a little bit of strength."

Jiang Yiyuan couldn't help but smile: "Lord, newly recruited soldiers, what's the use." ”

"90,000 people, of which 10,000 are wounded soldiers, which means that we have 80,000 fresh troops left." Jiang Yiyuan muttered to himself, and couldn't help but worry, if he goes on like this, he is afraid that he will be swallowed up by King Yu and King Xiaojin sooner or later.

Although he is full of resourcefulness, but now it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and without soldiers, how should this battle be fought?

Pang Yi said: "Why are recruits useless? Recently, Xiaojin Wang is also recruiting troops on a large scale, I heard that no less than 30,000 soldiers have been recruited, he has a lot of food, even if he recruits 200,000 soldiers, he can afford to raise it, we can't delay this battle any longer, otherwise it will definitely be bad for us. ”

Jiang Yiyuan sighed: "Yes, there are too many ants and they still gnaw to death elephants, once this recruit recruits hundreds of thousands, the momentum will not be the same." ”

"However, it is useless for us to recruit troops, and it will not help the battle situation in the slightest, because the speed of our recruitment will never be able to catch up with the little golden king, and with King Yu by our side, we will have no chance of winning."

Zhou Meng was originally a rough man, at this time, he also frowned, and couldn't help but think, yes, Xiaojinwang has a county, and we only have a dozen counties, no matter how much we recruit troops, we can't find Xiaojinwang, besides, these dozen counties are close to Kaiyuan, and more than half of the people have gone to Kaiyuan, who is still staying here, as soon as the people are few, it will be more difficult to recruit troops.

Pang Yi waved his sleeves: "Yiyuan, you just say what to do now." ”

"Yes, big brother, just say it."

Jiang Yiqu also said.

Jiang Yiyuan thought for a while and said, "Now... You can only borrow troops from outside. ”

"Borrowed soldiers? You mean borrowing troops from Ling Feng? ”

Pang Yi blurted out.

Jiang Yiyuan nodded and said: "Yes, the elite soldiers under his command, if they are willing to come to the rescue, they will definitely be able to capture the southern Xinjiang." ”

It's easy to say, but if you think about it, it's hard to do.

Even Zhou Meng shook his head and said: "I don't think this can be done, he is now saving the millions of displaced people, he has no time to take care of him, if he has time, he will not help us, but directly capture southern Xinjiang!" ”

Jiang Yiqu said: "Yes, King Yu and King Xiaojin are wolves, Ling Feng is a tiger, if we let him come, wouldn't we have another enemy?" ”

Pang Yi: ".... ”

Jiang Yiyuan smiled and said, "You... I don't know Ling Feng, I have a way, so that he won't fight my idea of southern Xinjiang, I should not dare to fight. ”

"That's?"

Jiang Yiyuan said: "Ling Feng is a self-proclaimed king of benevolence and righteousness, no matter what he does, he always thinks about being upright, thinking of being upright, and occupying righteousness; Let's return the 300,000 gold and 300,000 grain to him, and let him send troops to fight, he will definitely come, maybe he wants to take the opportunity to occupy southern Xinjiang, but... When he had food and gold under his command and sent troops to come, we sent spies everywhere to spread the news of inviting Ling Feng to fight, you think, since Ling Feng wants to be a righteous man and a gentleman, how dare he stab us in the back, both collect the money and fall into the ground, isn't this a loss of his benevolence? ”

Pang Yi smiled: "Yiyuan, you really have thought Ling Feng thoroughly, hehe... But ah, I'm just worried that he won't come to help. ”

Zhou Meng said: "I don't think he will come, if he does, he will come early." ”

Jiang Yiyuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, I think he will come, even if he doesn't want to come, but the 300,000 gold and 300,000 grain are also human, he has to come, how many people can be saved, how many sergeants can he afford, is he willing to come." ”

"That's right."

Jiang Yiqu said: "Then I'll do it and see what Ling Feng means." ”

Pang Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can do it." ”

"No."

.........

Five days later, Ling Feng received a message from someone sent by Jiang Yiqu that he had asked for troops with 300,000 taels of gold and 300,000 quintals of grain.

After receiving this news, Ling Feng was in a dilemma, and hurriedly called Zhang Shilin to the study and asked Zhang Shilin for advice.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Ling Feng wanted the 600,000 gold and grain very much, but now Kaiyuan focused on cultivation, and he really didn't want to participate in the affairs of southern Xinjiang, wouldn't it be better to let Jiang Yiyuan fight with King Yu and King Xiaojin.

But then again, those hundreds of thousands of gold and grain are really lovely, to put it bluntly, Ling Feng is reluctant. (To be continued.) )
