"Lord Qin has sent troops!"

"I heard that Lord Qin will personally lead an army of 200,000 to fight the Kamans, and now Lord Qin is already on the way."

"I heard that three of the four King Kongs under Lord Qin will lead to Taixuan, ready to wipe out the Kaman people in one fell swoop."

One after another, all kinds of gossip news immediately spread quickly in the streets and alleys of Taixuanfu City, people rushed to tell each other, and the mood of the anxious people immediately stabilized. All this qiē compared with the gloomy and miserable situation when he learned of the loss of Jiayuguan a few days ago, immediately turned over, teahouses, wineries, streets and alleys, people talked about the Qin Lord will send troops to defend Taixuanfu City to the death, and resolutely destroy the invading enemy.

This qiē situation converged on Qin Dui, who had just arrived at Meishan County to join Zhuge Fang, making Qin Dui silent for a long time. After receiving the information handed over by Qin Duan, Zhuge Fang, who originally had a relaxed expression, became more and more ugly, and even frowned deeply later, until he finished reading it, Zhuge Fang sighed and said: "This Fielding's head is really not ordinarily easy to use, and he actually gave us such a hand, forcing us to enter the game and not be able to get out." ”

"Well, this trick is really powerful enough, if we still hold our troops still, then once the Taixuan Mansion is lost, not only will the empire hold us accountable, but we will also lose the hearts of the people of the entire Taixuan Mansion, and even affect the hearts of our people in the entire northwest." Qin Duan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"My lord, you can't save the kindness of a woman now, you see, now the army of the Kamans is grinding and grinding, and it is clearly waiting for us to enter Taixuan, once we are stationed. They will inevitably overwhelm the border with a large army, forcing us to send heavy troops to fight against it, but we only have so much strength, and we are all dragged here, and the Taiping Sect in the western part of the Central Plains of the empire is about to rise, how should we deal with it? So. We will lose a great opportunity to set foot in the Central Plains. Zhuge was a little excited, and he could see that Qin Duan was a little moved.

"But we ignore it, how will the imperial court explain it, and how will the people of Taixuan Mansion explain it? The First Division of the First Army Corps has already arrived at the foot of Taixuan City, but it has retreated, and it is difficult to convince the public! Qin Duan's voice was a little dull.

"Imperial court? Hmph, if it can survive the Taiping Sect uprising, then I think the empire will also be torn apart. As for the common people, it was not easy, so let's say that the Gaoyue people mutiny again. Anyway, there are some Gao Yue people in the Fourth Division, so let them fight back. ”

A cold look flashed on Zhuge Fang's black face, and a pair of black diamond-like eyes danced with a faint light in the light, "Victor, prince, loser, thief, as long as you succeed, who cares if you have taken any despicable means, if you fail, who will remember whether you are noble?" ”

The butter candles in the tent flickered on and off. The jumping flames seemed to symbolize Qin Dui's unpredictable mood at this time, and this was really a difficult choice. And this choice determines his future strategic deployment. It's like a double-edged sword, if not handled well, either side is enough to cut yourself all over the body, and now it seems that there is no better solution.

A dull atmosphere enveloped the hearts of the two, and for a while both of them fell into a long contemplation.

What to do? Qin Duan was also repeatedly calculating the gains and losses, and the Taiping rebellion within the empire was imminent. According to his own judgment, it should have broken out in a month or two, and the Kansai region, as the hardest-hit area, is also the main road that is blocking his eastward advance, and it must be an area that the Taiping Sect focuses on controlling, if he does not take advantage of their unstable foothold, he will attack first. Once they gain a foothold, it will be much more difficult for them to move eastward.

But if you want to ensure the stability of Taixuanfu City, you must retain at least five elite divisions, and if you count the garrison division of Taixuanfu City, you must also leave three divisions to be stationed, and you must at least keep one division stationed near Taixuanfu to respond at any time, otherwise once the Kaman army presses the border, it will inevitably cause a situation of surprise.

It occupies the strength of five divisions and regiments, and the regular army he has in the northwest has already used up a quarter, and there is also a corps to guard against dangers in the northwest grasslands, and it is probably a little too reluctant to participate in the struggle for Kansai.

If you give up Taixuanfu, you can free up at least four divisions, and it is enough to equip one more division in Meishan County, so with four divisions and nearly 100,000 troops in your hands, plus the Longdong Garrison Division, which has already made advance preparations, you will be quite sure that you will be able to control most of Guanxi County, and you can also peek into the Heshuo area. But this negative impact is indeed too great, what Zhuge Fang just said is just a kind of practice of covering his ears and stealing the bell, maybe it can be concealed for a while, and after a little longer, it will definitely be exposed, after all, such a big thing is impossible to be covered tightly.

And at this moment, Zhuge Fang is also trying to weigh the pros and cons, although he advocates giving up Taixuanfu, but he also considers that his master may not agree to such a means that damage his glorious image, you must know how difficult it is to establish a glorious image in the hearts of the people in this situation, but it is very easy to destroy, and he is also considering whether his idea is appropriate.

What's more, Taixuanfu has a vast territory and an important location, and if it can be controlled, it is really a good place with great development potential, at least it can contain the pace of the Kamans from moving south from Jielok after occupying the western part of Gerok.

This war was originally dialectical, although the Kamans contained a large number of troops on their side, but they also restrained the main force of the Kamans when they let go, but this Taiping Sect seems to have been entangled with the Kamans.

The heads of the two were raised again almost at the same time, and in the collision of their eyes, they seemed to understand the meaning of the other party, and smiled happily, Qin Duan nodded, "Zhuge Fang, it seems that you have a new idea again, why don't you talk about it first." ”

"My lord, I'm afraid we all think the same way." Zhuge Fang shook his head, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Well, my opinion is still to stick to Taixuan Mansion, if the Kamans really want to capture it, we can't ask for it, and we will accompany them to the end, if they just keep the pressure on standby, we will do the same, but I think we will make a slight adjustment in the composition of the garrison." Qin Duan briefly said his opinion.

"How are you going to adjust?" Zhuge Fang didn't say much, and asked directly. (To be continued......)
