Sichuan, Wanzhou.

Lu Wenhuan walked around in his own government office, and for a veteran general in the army, this eager appearance like an ant on a hot pot was really unseemly.

But the same news brought by Liang Chongru, the senator of the Xuanfu Division, and Lu Shihu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Thunderbolt Army, was just one after the other, which was too terrifying. Lu Wenhuan, who has always been known for his "cautiousness" in the use of soldiers, has not jumped in a hurry, which is really impressive.

Several of Lu Jiajun's henchmen were also in the government office at the moment, looking at Lu Wenhuan's eager appearance as he walked around, his face was full of worry.

Although Chen Dexing has already said that he will not hesitate to stop the Tartar Khan to the west of Nantuochang. But using 8,000 people to block 100,000 people, and it's still 100,000 Tartars, how unreliable is this matter! In today's world, can there still be a Song Juncun who fights more than a dozen Tartars?

This Chen Dexing is completely dizzy, the 8,000 people of the Thunderbolt Naval Army in front of the emperor are all over, they can block the Tartar for three days, no, two days is a miracle.

And without these 8,000 elites, although Lu Wenhuan still has no less than 40,000 people in his hands, but after deducting the vacancies, the old and weak, and the mixed army salary, I don't know if there are 15,000 people who have to be used. Chen Dexing's reckless move is equivalent to making Lu Wenhuan's available soldiers less by one-third! How could this not make Lu Wenhuan so anxious that his eyebrows burned?

Chen Dexing was naturally annihilated by the whole army, and then relied on 15,000 elites, 20,000 old and weak, soldiers and ruffians hired to make up the empty forehead, can he stop the 100,000 elites of the Tartar Khan?

This is obviously impossible!

I'm afraid that if the Tartar Khan's Jiuyou Baixu is inserted on the top of the mountain outside Wanzhou City, the more than 40,000 troops in Wanzhou City will be frightened. This Wanzhou is not a Diaoyu City, although the terrain is dangerous, but the city is not strong, not to mention the material reserves, if it is surrounded by Tartars, it will be exhausted in a month at most. This Wanzhou City can't be defended!

As soon as Wanzhou missed, the Song army either retreated to the Three Gorges and held Kuimen. Or simply withdraw from Sichuan and go all out to defend Jinghu. I don't want to say how bad the overall shape is, but this is not something that Lu Wenhuan really cares about, this has his own Xuanfu Xianggong Jia to worry about.

What Lu Wenhuan really thinks about now is how to preserve the glory and wealth of the Lu family, the Lu family is the general, and the foundation of the wealth of the Jiangmen is nothing else, that is, the army! There are more than 40,000 people here in Wanzhou, as well as 10,000 or thousands of Lu family troops in Jiangling, with a total of less than 60,000 troops, which is the foundation of the Lu family! Once lost, what is left of the Anfeng Lu family?

Lu Wenhuan, who came and went, didn't know how long he had been walking back and forth in the festival hall, and Lu Shihu, Liang Chongru, and a group of Lu family cronies were a little dizzy when they saw it. The sound of bags and boots from outside made Lu Wenhuan stop. The guards of the Lu family opened the curtain and saw a big man with five locks of beard walking in quickly. When he saw Lu Wenhuan, he bowed.

"The last general, Zhang Shijie, was ordered to bring 1,500 sons and daughters of the Wuding Right Army to arrive, and how to summon it all depends on the orders of the assassin envoy (Lu Wenhuan has the official title of assassin envoy)."

The Wuding Army is also an army under the control of Lu Wende, but it is not a descendant of the Lu family, and most of the soldiers are Han people from the north, and most of them are natives from Suizhou and Huangzhou. and the Lu Jiajun from Lianghuai is indeed not all the way. However, most of the Han people who returned to the north did not have family to worry about, and most of them had a deep enmity with the Tartars, so they fought bravely and won better than the southern army. In the Southern Song Dynasty army at this time, the army composed of the first generation of northbound Han people was almost all elite who could fight.

The 1,500 people of the Wuding Right Army are no exception, they are a trump card in the hands of Lu Wende, but this time they were sent to Sichuan to prepare to be incorporated into the Perak Naval Army, the purpose of course is to help Lu Shihu, the second generation of the Lu family's generals. Although Lu Shihu was a veteran of the Thunderbolt Army (including the predecessor Running Army) at the time of its founding, there were few cronies available in the Thunderbolt Army. Most of the officers who have a little friendship with Lu Shihu are just friendships after drinking flower wine a few times. It is far less than Chen Dexing's foundation in the army.

Therefore, after obtaining the consent of Jia Yidao, Lu Wende sent the right army of the Wuding Army under the command of Zhang Shijie, and at the same time increased the number of troops of the Imperial Thunderbolt Army to 12,000.

"Sixth uncle, now that Nantuo is in danger, do you want Commander Zhang to leave immediately?" Lu Shihu was ordered to go back to Wanzhou to ask for help, but to put it mildly, Lu Wenhuan just refused to let go, and now he saw Zhang Shijie, who was planning to bring troops to control himself, and couldn't help but ask.

"This ......" Lu Wenhuan just shook his head, if Nantuochang can win the battle, this 1,500-person faction will be sent. After all, the Thunderbolt Army will also be the soldiers of the Lu family sooner or later. But the problem is that the battle of Nantuo will be lost, and the Thunderbolt army will be lost. But if you don't send a single soldier, wait until Nantuo is defeated, Chen Dexing is defeated and dies, and the overall situation in Sichuan collapses, who will bear the responsibility for this crime? Lu Wende naturally couldn't move, but he Lu Wenhuan ...... It is indispensable to lose one's post and lose one's office! Thinking of this, his eyes unconsciously fell to Liang Chongru, who led the post of counselor of the Xuanfu Division.

"Assassin Shi, the lower officials think that Nantuo still has to be guarded." Liang Chongru stood up and arched his hand towards Lu Wende, "East Sichuan is on the left side of Jinghu, Wanzhou is the gateway to eastern Sichuan, and Nantuo and Fengdu are the gateways to Wanzhou. Now Wanzhou's reserves are not abundant, the city is not strong, and the Yangtze River is not blocked, all of which need time to prepare. The soldiers of the envoys came to the aid from downstream, and they did not arrive in the middle of the day. Therefore, Nantuo and Fengdu must be guarded. ”

"How to defend it?" Lu Wenhuan was upset and had no idea for a while, so he asked Liang Chongru rhetorically.

Liang Chongru smiled proudly and said: "You can make Chen Gong's guards divide into two routes, with 4,000 people to guard Nantuo, with 4,000 people and 1,500 people from the right army of Wuding to guard Fengdu. ”

"What? Only nine thousand five are still divided into two ways? Isn't this going to cost the sons and daughters their lives? Lu Wenhuan hadn't spoken yet, but Zhang Shijie shouted first, "We can't fight this kind of battle, and we can't fight it!" ”

Liang Chongru glanced at the military man from the north with some disgust, and said to Lu Wenhuan who was hesitating: "Assassinating the history, there is not much risk for the Thunderbolt Water Army and the Wuding Right Army to defend Nantuo and Fengdu. Because the Thunderbolt navy has the advantage of warships, if they are defeated, they can get on the ships and leave. There's no need to stick to it. He paused, and then said, "Besides, Nantuo is in the west, and Fengdu is further east, and the soldiers of Fengdu are only covering the back road of Nantuo, so that it can delay for a few more days." ”

"If it's unfavorable, can you really go?" Zhang Shijie asked unceremoniously. He is a native of the Han Dynasty in the North, and he also worked in the team of the Zhang family in Shuntian. It is inevitable that it will be tainted with the habits of some northern warriors who despise the scribes - in the north, the warriors can support the army and control the people like kings, and no matter how good the scribes' writings are, they are just the disciples of the warriors. There is absolutely no such thing as Wen Yuwuyi!

Lu Wenhuan frowned: "Shijie, Senator Liang is Xuanxiang's disciple, or is he a Jinshi who is called outside the Donghua Gate!" ”

"Oh." Zhang Shijie just nodded, and didn't show much respect. In the Northland, any Han army and a thousand households would not take any kind of person seriously.

Liang Chongru took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and reluctantly smiled: "Why can't you go?" Fengdu shields Wanzhou, as long as it fights for a few days for Wanzhou. The 1,500 heroes in the general's department are elite, but they can't be lost in Fengdu. ”

Zhang Shijie looked at Lu Wenhuan, Lu Wenhuan was silent for a long time, and he also thought clearly, it is not okay for Wanzhou to abandon it. Don't say that Jia seems to say that he doesn't agree, even his eldest brother Lu Wende has to turn his face! What can be done now is to use the Thunderbolt Navy's outcasts and delay for some time. At the same time, some people from the Perak Army were handed over to Lu Shihu, and when Chen Dexing's army was defeated, Lu Shihu would be able to take over the troops logically. This is also a solution, it is better than losing all the 8,000 men of the Thunderbolt Army.

"That's it." Lu Wenhuan nodded heavily and looked at Zhang Shijie, "Shijie, your 1,500 people went to guard Fengdu, and they were controlled by Lu Shihu, the deputy capital of the Thunderbolt Water Army!" Then he looked at Lu Shihu again, "Muban, you take a certain family's general and thirty boats of military rations and rewards to Nantuo, and bring fifteen three-story oared warships and four thousand soldiers to Fengdu!" ”
