Chapter 922: Calm Poisoner

In the city lord's office, the atmosphere was solemn.

I knew that the Fei Army was in trouble, but no one expected that the trouble would be so big, not only was it chased and killed by the Liangzhou Army, but even the Qiang people of Liangzhou were mobilized to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Wudang Fei Army.

Although the flying army is the elite of a hundred battles, the number is too small after all, and the continuous participation in territorial warfare has led to continuous discounts, and the strength of the army was only more than 1,200 people at its peak. The flying army was in distress in Liangzhou, and the opponent was the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, which was known for its bravery and fearlessness, and was assisted by many Qiang people. Infantry soldiers fighting with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the flat land is tantamount to looking for death, Wang Ping is right to lead his troops into the mountains to fight guerrillas, but the Qiang people are also famous for being good at circling in the mountains, and they have the advantage of the home field, regardless of the terrain and supplies, the Qiang people in Liangzhou are afraid that the number of mobilization is 100,000, and there is no way to defeat them.

Although some flying army messengers escaped the siege and passed general information to the territory, the information was incomplete.

The city lord's manual can see the changes in the general establishment of the flying army, but it can't see the condition of the wounded, nor can it see the life and death of the grassroots transferred generals, and there is no way to judge how much combat power the troops have left.

In addition, how much water, medicine, and weapons are left, is it enough to support the troops to cross the Qilian Mountains?

After the Courier left, did the Flying Army get ambushed again?

What is the situation of Jia Xu's family?

None of this is known.

What's even more worrying is that the Qilian Mountains are innumerable places that can be climbed, and the plateau area behind the ridge is rarely set foot in, and there are countless roads into Yizhou from the plateau area. There is no way to determine the location of the flying army, and it is difficult to even draw a general direction.

Even if the territory wants to rescue, it faces the embarrassment of not knowing where to start.

The tiger eats the sky and has nowhere to eat.

When Jia Xu told everyone that the Fei Army would inevitably suffer from mountain sickness, and that the Qiang people on the plateau were likely to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Fei Army, there was a uniform gasp in the office.

- Unlike Jia Mu, who didn't wake up until Feijun had severe altitude sickness, Jia Xu was the first to realize the threat of mountain sickness, and even thought of the possibility of the Qiang people being involved in the plateau.

Xu Shu frowned and said: "The flying army is strong and strong, and the will is very tenacious, so it may not be knocked down by mountain sickness, right?" ”

"No, it won't." Yu Buzhi looked serious and sighed: "Altitude sickness cannot be stopped by will. ”

Xu Shu's face was half dark, he had never heard of such a strange illness, but Jia Xu had lived in Liangzhou for a long time, and he had rich experience in dealing with the Qiang people in the past, and his family was also with Feijun, so he would not talk about it. The lord was obviously aware of this strange disease, which confirmed that altitude sickness was very difficult to deal with, and it was even more worrying.

The flying army entered the plateau completely unprepared, and the situation will be even more difficult.

Jia Xu said calmly: "As long as you survive the first few days and your body gradually adapts, you will not be afraid of mountain sickness." ”

This news did not make everyone feel a little relieved, but became more and more uneasy.

Even Jia Xu knew that the symptoms of mountain sickness would gradually subside, how could those Qiang people not know?

As long as the Qiang people have not been caught in the door, they will not wait for the Wudang Flying Army to slow down before they do it. On the battlefield, you live or die, and it is the most normal thing to take advantage of your illness to kill you.

There was a sudden silence in the office, and most of them were reluctant to speak.

"The Qiang people like to live in the mountains, and mountain sickness has little impact on them. Jia Xu's voice sounded in the room again.

His voice was still the same as usual, unhurried, calm, and he didn't feel any emotion, even when he said "more than lucky". However, everyone in the house knew that Feijun went to Liangzhou this time to pick up Jia Xu's family, and the Feijun messenger on the outskirts of Fuxian County had also confirmed that Jia Xu's family fled with Feijun. Knowing that if the flying army is defeated, his family will not escape death, Jia Xu can still maintain absolute calm, and immediately point out the factors that may affect the flight of the flying army one by one, this determination is really terrifying!

Everyone looked at Jia Xu's gaze, and suddenly had a little more complicated emotions.

There is jealousy, but more admiration.

Jia Xu completely ignored those strange glances and continued, "The news from the messenger includes when he separated from the main army, where he was when he was separated, and when he fled to Fu County. In Xia Bucai, most of the mountains and rivers in the southern counties of Liangzhou walked in person, and they could barely calculate the approximate time period when the flying army crossed the Qilian Mountain. ”

Yu Buzhi's eyes lit up and asked, "When?" ”

"According to the normal itinerary, the ridge can be crossed three days at the earliest, but the situation of fighting, getting lost, being dragged down by injuries and illnesses, traveling day and night, and lack of food is immeasurable, and the error may be very large, so it is better to postpone it for three more days. If they failed to cross Qilian Mountain for three more days, it means that they have been surrounded by pursuing troops in Liangzhou, and they will either die in battle or become prisoners, either way, they will no longer have a chance to cross Qilian Mountain. ”

"Quickly entering the plateau, mountain sickness can attack within a few hours, no later than a day."

"For up to two days from the first onset of symptoms, many people will not even be able to lift their fingers. At that time, even if the Qiang people took a knife and slowly bleed their blood, they would have no way to resist. At that stage, the Qiang people could wipe out the flying army without much effort. ”

"The key depends on the next five or six days."

"After these few days, the symptoms of mountain sickness gradually decreased, and at least I could run, so I had any hope of surviving. I can't last a few days......"

Jia Xu didn't continue, he didn't need to say anything more.

From beginning to end, the middle-aged man did not mention his family, nor did he see any anxiety on his part, let alone tearfully begging the lord to send troops to rescue him at all costs, he just calmly analyzed the situation faced by the flying army, tried to avoid misjudgment due to personal feelings, and provided objective and fair judgments and suggestions for everyone.

Three sons and one daughter, on the line of life and death, are still as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

It seems that Jia Xu is indifferent to the safety of his children.

This is certainly not the case.

Jia Xu promised Yu Buzhi to go to Wadao to preside over the overall situation, but until now, he didn't plan to leave, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what Jia Xu is staying in Huaxia for. If he didn't care about the life and death of Jia Mu and the others, he would have boarded the warship a long time ago and went to Dongying to take office.

Maybe Jia Xu is cold and cold-blooded by nature, but Jia Mu and the others are his children after all.

Tiger poison does not eat children.

It's not that I don't care, it's just that I haven't shown it.

At this time, he still maintained absolute calm, and Jia Xu's tenacity made people have to admire.

"Click."

Yu Buzhi's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and his gaze swept over everyone one by one.

"It's hard for the Flying Army to last long, and we don't have much time left."

"There is no precedent for the Chase Leader to abandon his own people, no matter how difficult it is, they must be brought back."

"To live to see people, to die to see corpses."

"Yuan Zhi, give the order."
