The smoke was everywhere, the mourning was everywhere, and the whole Fuyuan was shrouded in a thick atmosphere of fear, and the barbarians who had just come last year were here again. Everywhere they passed, smoke billowed from the clouds, and the village that had just been built was reduced to nothing in a spark, and the pitiful little possessions were lost after the soldiers. And what made the people of Fuyuan even more heartbroken was that this time the Kou soldiers were not for the purpose of capturing the population, but to kill everyone they saw as the final result, and there was no one where the horse's hooves passed.

One after another urgent reports were placed on the desk of Xiao Yuanshan, the commander of the Dingzhou Army, and he frowned, "What are the barbarians doing?" Isn't it the most important target of their long-term raids, why didn't they leave any chickens and dogs where they passed this time? ”

Shen Mingchen picked up the urgent report and said, "Marshal, this time the commander of the barbarian army is the complete face of the Angu tribe. ”

Xiao Yuanshan suddenly said: "Is it the Angu tribe that was inexplicably wiped out last winter?" ”

Shen Mingchen nodded: "Exactly, I don't know who wiped out the Angu tribe, the old and weak women and children, and killed not a single one, Bayar swore to the alliance, and declared that it was our Dingzhou army that did it, and this time Wanyan Bulu came to take revenge." ”

Xiao Yuanshan said angrily: "They rebelled in their own nests, but they planted the blame on us, this Wanyan Bulu is really a fool, this inexplicable resentment moved to our Dingzhou, but it made us suffer." ”

Fuyuan suffered heavy casualties, if it was in the past, it would be comforting to be able to save these lost compatriots one day, but this time there is no head, but there is no excuse, Xiao Yuanshan has already felt the pressure, as the coach of Dingzhou, there is such a big mess under his rule, he can't take responsibility.

"Mingchen, it seems that we must have troops to aid Fuyuan and stop the indiscriminate killing of Yan Buru, otherwise if this continues, Fuyuan will become a ghost domain." Xiao Yuanshan said helplessly.

"General, by all means." Shen Mingchen waved his hand again and again, "The general knows that our Dingzhou Army has just undergone a restructuring, and the army is full of a large number of recruits, this combat power cannot be compared with the past, let alone you After reading Yan Bulu's move, although there is an element of venting anger, but why not want to induce our army to hold back and go out of the city to fight with it, you rashly send assistance, just afraid that the other party will fall into the hands of the other party." ”

Xiao Yuanshan said helplessly: "You can't watch him kill Fuyuan completely." ”

"If our army goes to war, it is to promote the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, if our army goes to war, it is to promote the shortcomings and avoid the strengths, I assert that as long as our army goes out of the city to fight, it will be defeated, at that time, the strength that the marshal has accumulated will be exhausted, so when most of Bayar attacks after the autumn, how will we deal with it?" Shen Mingchen said.

"What about Fuyuan?" Xiao Yuanshan said hesitantly.

"There is no way, Fuyuan has to make sacrifices for the sake of the overall situation of Dingzhou and for the millions of living beings in Dingzhou."

Xiao Yuanshan really thought this in his heart, but when Shen Mingchen said it, he felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, "If this is the case, then you can only grieve the people of Fuyuan." Lu Dabing knew the opportunity this time, he didn't go out of the city to fight, his subordinates were all veterans, and it was not worth it to make a senseless sacrifice. ”

Shen Mingchen said with a smile: "This handsome man is relieved, Lu Dalin is not worried about his brother, so he sent his subordinate strategist Feng Jian to help, with Feng Jian's knowledge, he should be able to see through this situation and prevent Lu Dabing from leaving the city." ”

"In this case, the training of our Dingzhou army should also be stepped up, looking at the posture of the barbarians, I am afraid that the scale after the autumn will be better than last year." Xiao Yuanshan Road. "The other three fortresses should be strengthened to prevent the barbarians from moving troops to attack."

"Dacher is also a battle-hardened veteran, so he should be on guard." Shen Mingchen said with a smile.

When the two of them said this, they basically decided the fate of the people of Fuyuan, Xiao Yuanshan suddenly remembered one person, and couldn't help asking: "Mingchen, do you know what Li Qing is doing now?" Presumably he also got the news that Fuyuan was attacked, Chongxian borders Fuyuan, do you think the Kou soldiers will invade Chongxian? ”

Shen Mingchen despised Xiao Yuanshan a little in his heart, this Li Qingke is also one of your generals, although you don't want to see him, but you won't leave him behind, as a strategist, Xiao Yuanshan can ignore this Li Qing, but he has to pay attention, to be honest, he has heard of what Li Qing has done in Chongxian, and he has also sent people to pay special attention, only to hear that with the funding of the Li family, Li Qing is really good.

"As soon as Li Qing heard the news of Fuyuan's attack, he mobilized the people to build a military gate fortress, it seems that he is also afraid that the Kou soldiers will attack Chongxian!" Shen Mingchen smiled.

"This kid is not very old, but he is slippery, this Ming temporary self-protection is very good, Mingchen, you said that if I send Li Qing to send troops to sweep away the rangers of the barbarians in Fuyuan, how about it?" Xiao Yuanshan snorted coldly.

Shen Mingchen smiled: "Marshal, Li Qing has only more than a thousand soldiers, I heard that he will expand the army after the year, even if the Changsheng battalion is full, his subordinates are only afraid of a group of farmers with knives and guns, such an army goes to fight against the Kou soldiers, isn't it an egg to hit a stone?" Li Qing categorically refused. ”

Xiao Yuanshan smiled: "I know he will definitely refuse, but all I want is an attitude from him, if he refuses, I will have a reason to deal with him, hahaha, this lawsuit is fought in front of the emperor, and I also take advantage of it, if he does not accept the dispatch of his boss, he is afraid of the enemy and is afraid of the enemy, so he has the support of the Li family, what can he do?" Just let him get out of Dingzhou in a gloomy way. ”

Shen Mingchen felt a chill on his body, "Big Shuai, what if Li Qing is ordered to go on the expedition?" ”

"Isn't that just right? Let Kou Bing give him a little hardship, the little soldiers and horses in his hand are afraid that it will not be enough to stuff the other party's teeth. ”

"So what if he was ordered to go out and swim without attacking?" Shen Mingchen gave another possibility, "If this is the case, the marshal can't say anything, not to mention that in the court, the Li clan is extremely powerful, and at that time, the marshal offended the Li clan in vain and made enemies for the Xiao family, but it didn't damage Li Qing at all, wouldn't he steal chickens and rice." ”

Xiao Yuanshan nodded slightly, "You are right, but this matter has to be considered in the long run." ”

Here they were discussing how to deal with Li Qing, but Lu Dabing, who was in Fuyuan Fortress, was already restless, "Mr. Feng, are we going to sit and watch the other party wreak havoc on the people like this?" Seeing that the soldiers brought the heads of countless people and threw them under Fuyuan City layer by layer, the soldiers in the city were red-eyed.

"General, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan," Feng Jian said: "Why did the Kou soldiers do this, it is to provoke the general to go out of the city, if the general goes out of the city to fight, he will be in the arms of the other party, our army will come out of the fortified city, preserve the strength, and prepare for the attack of the Kou soldiers after the autumn, Xiao Dashuai wants us to hold out, it is this reason!" ”

Lu Dabing took the case: "I am not a person with benevolence and righteousness, nor am I a moral person, I am just a martial artist, but I know that the generals must protect the people's safety, sir, you are also a person who has read poetry and books, seeing the enemy army abusing my people so much, how can I feel at ease, I have decided, I want to go out of the city." ”

Feng Jian was shocked, "General, you can't be impulsive!" ”

Lu Dabing shook his head, "Sir, I saw that Yan Bulu only left more than 1,000 people and horses under the city, and the other two groups of men and horses were divided and left, obviously expecting that we would not dare to go out of the city, hum, I just can't do what he wants, I took 2,000 men and horses out of the city, and left more than 1,000 strong soldiers in the front camp, plus the young and strong in the city, presided over by Mr. to defend the city, he also has no gaps, I choose one of them to attack it, and attack the opponent's more than 1,000 people with 2,000 troops, although I dare to say that I won, but I am not expected to lose, at least I can prevent the enemy from being so presumptuous." ”

"General?" Feng Jian also wanted to dissuade him. But Lu Dabing categorically stopped his words, "Sir, I know that you are for my good, but I am a general of the imperial court, I can't see the people suffering so much and turn a blind eye, even if the horse leather shroud, I have to go out of the city to fight, otherwise if it drags on like this, my Fuyuan will be finished, and the morale will no longer exist, so that when the Kou soldiers attack in the autumn, I am afraid that it will be unbearable to fight, general, we brothers and sisters are from small soldiers, I know that morale can be boosted but not discharged." ”

After speaking, he walked out without looking back, Feng Jian was stunned for a moment, and a pale head hung down weakly.
