In the Wangwushan base, Li Guo's residence, in the study, Li Guo was sitting there, looking at a letter, his expression was changing, sometimes wrinkled, sometimes soothing, and there was a person standing opposite, like a village woman, nagging non-stop, constantly persuading Li Guo.

"Captain Li, this is where the righteousness lies, the Tartars enter the customs, and the customs will surely destroy the lives of the people, plague the people, and slaughter the people of our Huaxia, we can't ignore it and let it do whatever it wants? Moreover, I believe that if the boss knows about this and the Tartars slaughter my people, he will not sit idly by, and will definitely support and agree. ”

Li Guo raised his head, there was a faint annoyance between his eyebrows, looking at the young face in front of him, that look of righteous indignation, there was some helplessness in his heart, and he responded with kind words: "Chen Hu, to tell the truth, from the bottom of my heart, I do agree with the use of troops against Houjin and the sneak attack on the Tartar troops." However, this is a big deal, and you can't go without consulting with the boss. ”

"Moreover, even if the army that is preparing to use troops to attack the Tartars, judging from the current strength of the base area, it is somewhat stretched. As you know, there are many places where people are employed in the base areas, and even if there are garrison personnel, at least 3 to 4,000 people must be left behind to ensure the safety of the base areas. ”

Chen Hu was speechless when he was refuted, he didn't know how to deal with it, it was impossible for Li Guo to fight the Tartars desperately, but he still said again unwillingly: "Brother Li, we may not go on an expedition to Datong Mansion and sneak attack Houjin." It's completely possible to wait for the rabbit, once the Tartar goes deep into the pass and breaks into the nearby area, we can attack nearby? In this way, it will not be possible to take into account the security of the base areas. ”

Li Guo nodded lightly noncommittally, showing a thoughtful look, and his attitude was a little loose, but he still responded ambiguously: "Hmm... Even if it is an army that snipers at the nearest Tartars with the base area as the center, we must plan it well, and we need to transfer some secret weapons from the Shaanxi base area. For example, the tiger squat cannon made in the base area, firearms with super spicy pepper, three-eyed guns, thunderbolts and other firearms are equipped in the army. In this way, we will have a greater chance of winning, and the casualties will be correspondingly reduced. ”

Although he did not get a clear answer, but hearing this, Chen Hu was already very satisfied, and instinctively surprised, Li Guo would send troops to deal with the Tartars nine times out of ten.

As soon as he thought of the power of firearms such as the Tiger Squat Cannon, the Three-Eyed Gun, and the Thunderbolt Gun, Chen Hu felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart, and his fighting spirit followed, and he became more and more confident, as long as Li Jiajun made a move, he would be able to kill the Tartar cavalry!

When he was in the base area of Zhongnan Mountain, Chen Hu and his friend Lu Shiyi had seen the power of those firearms, the power of the explosion was not only great, the range of lethality was wide, and the gunpowder was added with a special raw material, chili pepper!

In particular, the cannonballs and special fireworks of the tiger squat cannon, after the explosion, the two have the same characteristics, that is, the smoke is filled, the smell is smoky, whether it is a person or a war horse, they will be smoked so that they can't open their eyes and cry.

You might as well think about it, if the Tartar army encounters such an artillery bombardment, causing the army to be wrapped in thick smoke, even if it is not killed, it will be smoked enough, and the combat effectiveness will drop in an instant, and there will be chaos!

When the time comes, supplemented by bows and crossbow arrows, it will be almost effortless to attack and kill the Tartar army.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Hu's mood was even more surging, and at this time, he seemed to think of something, his expression was constricted, showing worry, and he asked instead: "Captain Li, boss, will they really be fine?" Will the rebel armies from all walks of life really be able to escape Chen Qiyu's siege? ”

"Don't worry, uncle, he will definitely be able to break out of the encirclement."

When answering, Li Guo nodded heavily, not knowing whether to accentuate his tone, or to cheer himself up, or to make Chen Hu believe more.

Shaanxi Pingliang Mansion, Guyuan City, the Trilateral Governor's Mansion, Hong Chengchou summoned his generals in the hall, held a letter in his hand, shook it twice in the air, and then handed it to everyone, circulated them one by one, and couldn't help but say aloud: "Lord Chen is really not simple, worthy of being relied on by the emperor, the Ministry of War attaches great importance to it, just took up the post of governor of the five provinces, but only more than four months, it came to such a big stroke!" ”

Obviously, all the generals knew who Lord Chen was referring to, it was Chen Qiyu, the original governor of Yansui.

At this moment, no matter whether Hong Chengchou was sincere or not, whether he meant anything else, no one answered, after all, according to the normal situation, if no one obstructed and obstructed it, the governor of the five provinces should have been Hong Chengchou, so there is no need to talk about such a great credit?

However, Hong Chengchou seemed to be interested, and didn't care about everyone's reaction, and continued: "Lord Chen really has a talent for nothing, this is to imitate the god of war of the Qin State during the Warring States Period, besiege all the soldiers of the Zhao State in the valley, and wear out the will of the chaotic army little by little, so that it will completely lose its combat effectiveness, so as to wipe it all out, and finish it in one battle!" ”

At this time, Zuo Guangxian, who was sitting on the side, did not look good, and was not optimistic, and reminded him: "But, my lord, the current Lord Chen is facing the same predicament as Bai Qi back then, and he is also struggling with the matter of grain and grass. At the end of the day, it was reported that the county capital and county town near Chezhou Gorge could not transport grain and grass at all, either because of road obstacles and weather conditions, or because they were robbed by the rebel army, or the granaries of the county town were directly robbed or burned. If the stalemate continues, I am afraid that the situation will change. ”

Another general, Zhao Guangyuan, looked at Hong Chengchou directly, with a worried look on his face, and then said: "Moreover, my lord, the disaster is not a single line, after the Tartars went west to sweat, on the way back, suddenly invaded Guanzhong from Datong Mansion, Datong General Cao Wenzhao has already complained to the imperial court and asked for reinforcements, and his nephew Cao Bianjiao was also called back on the way south to support Lord Chen, and is now on the way to Datong Mansion." In this situation, most of the troops of the imperial court are mobilizing, going north to resist Huang Taiji, there is not too much army to escort grain and grass at all, how long can Lord Chen support them? ”

For a while, the hall was quiet, no one spoke, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air, even Hong Chengchou was no longer radiant, with a solemn look on his face, I don't know what to think again?

At the same time, everyone knew in their hearts that as a large number of troops went north to support and resist the Tartar cavalry, the rebel army would be more unscrupulous and would attack Chen Qiyu's grain and grass escort troops even more frantically.

The consequences are not difficult to imagine, the situation will take a sharp turn for the worse, the battle of Che Canyon, winning or losing, all on endurance, see who can't bear it first.

At the same time, in the middle of the night on the same day, thousands of miles away in the Chezhou Gorge, the sky had already cleared, the stars were twinkling, the crescent moon was hanging in the air, and the insects belonging to the summer night were ringing non-stop.

"Boss, the plan is going very well, and those officers and soldiers are not only afraid of war and death, but also very greedy. Even the officers and soldiers who were patrolling and standing guard near the tower wall, when they saw the white flowers, agreed and let our men in, and communicated with their responsible persons to discuss the matter of surrendering. ”
