“…… The enemy is dark and I am clear, and the front line that we need to defend is too long, so we can only be fully alerted and actively start to prepare for this, and we can't blindly defend passively and wait for the enemy to appear! There are thousands of days in the world to be thieves, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? Fu Yan Laocheng said solemnly, and his advice was all steady.

"It's still too passive! Since our side is already passive, and we do not have an advantage in terms of troops, we should naturally turn passivity into initiative and force the Yuan army out! The Yuan army is now short of supplies, and their morale has also fallen, once we force them, they will inevitably sway from side to side, no matter what outcome they choose, they are better than sitting back and waiting to be killed! Lu Zheng argued with reason, and his opinion was to the left with Fu Yan.

"Death to the warmongers!" Once it comes to personal tendencies, Fu Yan took it upon himself and directly said ruthlessly: "Blindly active and don't know that it is just passive, it is better to be calm, at this time, it is better to be slow rather than impatient!" Jingshan, you must know that it is the Yuan army that is burning the materials now, not our side!! ”

"It's really not our side, but the Yuan army has already made a move, if we don't attack, who knows what the Yuan army will be doing in secret? We must send troops to force them, or we will be coveted by the other party at all times, how can such a long border be defended so that the Yuan army has no chance? Once the flaws are revealed, it will be the real ...... when the time comes! ”

"Alarmist!" Before Lu Zheng finished speaking, Fu Yan said directly: "Although the Yuan army is not short of food and grass now, but the blades and arrows are extremely scarce, we just need to sit and watch, even if we lose some, what can we do?" Under the high wall, the Yuan army has to break a tooth if it wants to swallow, and when the time comes, our side will concentrate its forces at a critical time to strike at its weak point, and the Yuan army will collapse without attacking! ”

"Unreasonable......!!" Lu Zheng was angry, the two of them were blushing and their necks were thick, and one thought that if he didn't do anything now, he would sit and wait to die. The other is worried that if he attacks, he will fall into the trap of the Yuan army, and now that his own side has taken the initiative, the Yuan army, which lacks supplies, cannot afford to consume it, so wouldn't it be best to wait for the other party to appear by itself?

The two were arguing, Xi Juan was also thinking, thinking left and right, the Yuan army unexpectedly chose to withdraw, which was nothing more than two situations, one was to save the cattle and horses and avoid being ridden by Xi Juan. The other is to hide in the shadows and look for flaws. Then he made a lightning invasion of the Han Dynasty to regain the scarce supplies.

No matter which of these two kinds, Xi Juan felt tricky, and the preservation of cattle and horses clearly showed that the Yuan army was calm, and Xi Juan wanted to force the Yuan army by burning materials. Let them have to launch a siege, and then Xi Juan will be able to consume the Yuan army alive as long as they hold the city wall. But this wishful thinking was empty when the other party was hiding.

As for the second type. Then it's even more of a headache, the Han Dynasty is not just a state of Yuanzhou that is connected to the grassland, but five states, among which Liuzhou and Huangzhou don't have to worry too much, Liu. Huangerzhou is a mountainous area near the sea, and a mountain range that leans on the towering Hamaus Mountains, which are covered with snow all year round, comparable to Mount Everest in reality. With the backward technology of the expedition, it is dangerous for a few people to climb over, and an army entering it is no different from sending it to death.

In addition to Liu, Huangzhou, is Yuan, Qing, Meng three states, Yuanzhou a horse Pingchuan, the first to bear the brunt, Qingzhou between Huangzhou and Yuanzhou, many mountainous areas, rugged roads, but the mountains can not be compared with Huangzhou, but there are not many roads that can accommodate the passage of large groups of people and horses, and there are city passes to guard.

Then there is Mengzhou, Mengzhou is between Liuzhou and Yuanzhou, there is no mountainous area, there can be more water, there are swamps, mountains and forests are dense, fierce beasts and poisonous insects are everywhere, a small number of people can also pass, once the brigade of people and horses walk in, unless along the gallop road, otherwise the danger of crossing the mountains and swamps is not necessarily much worse than Huangzhou.

"Alright, don't quarrel between the two gentlemen!" Xi Juan's voice was light, and he said calmly: "The Yuan army can't hide, and we shouldn't move, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Yuan army, come and pass on my orders, and all the cities in Meng, Yuan, and Qing Prefecture will be on strict alert, and secondly, the sergeants and soldiers in the cities of Yuanzhou will be ready to stand by, so that they can be dispatched as soon as they receive the order!" ”

The sacrifice is too great, if you just abandon your hard-won advantages, and choose to attack and persecute, then it is not worth it, although the attack will turn the passive into the active, but once the Yuan army is ambushed on the side, then it is likely to directly lead to the collapse of the battle situation and a complete defeat.

Xi Juan dares to bet, but he will not give up his advantages to gamble, because the success rate is too low.

Xi Juan's eyes were sharp, his heart was not wavering, and he said, "Next, I will trouble the two gentlemen to assist me in arranging!" ”

Lu Zheng and Fu Yan glanced at each other, and the previous quarrel with a red face and thick neck seemed to have never appeared, and they all responded: "Oh! ”

Less than a day later, Xi Juan and the others were still planning to fight Jihua in Keyuan City, and news came from Qingzhou, the news was very urgent, and it was conveyed through Yiren.

"Qingzhou, close to the grassland, Qingyuan, Pengyu, and Lanmi cities were all wiped ......out overnight!!"

When they heard the news, Lu Zheng and Fu Yan were dumbfounded, it was too fast, they were suspicious yesterday, and before they could react, they even heard the news on paper, how could they not feel shocked?

"These three cities are not small, and Qingzhou is not Yuanzhou, how can it be ......!!"

Lu Zheng muttered to himself, unbelievable, although he had insisted on admonishing Xi Juan to send troops to force the Yuan army to come out, but he had never thought that the Yuan army was so bold, no, this can no longer be described as bold, it is simply crazy, conquering three cities overnight, even if Qingyuan, Peng Yu is just a small city, the city wall is not high, the population is less than 10,000, but it is also there, and Lanmi is not a small city, with a population of more than 30,000, close to the middle of Qingzhou, and a border army of 8,000 people is stationed there, Isn't it madness to be knocked down overnight?

"Kublai is not dead! Damn, how did he survive?! Zhang Yuan said with almost certainty, his eyes flashed with a hint of annoyance, and said, "I might as well waste my life if I knew this!" ”

In the morning, he just got up and received news from the military intelligence department, the entire forum Han Dynasty sub-district was noisy, a large force of the Yuan army suddenly appeared under the three cities of Qingzhou, raised torches overnight to attack the city, fierce battle for more than ten hours, the three cities were broken one after another, and the Quartet was ambushed by the Yuan army, and withdrew in embarrassment.

Zhang Yuan knew that the one who could do all this must be the disappeared army, and the one in command must be Kublai Lai.

It's not that there are no generals in the Yuan army who are more capable of commanding than Kublai Lai, but forcibly attacking the city is a tactic of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of themselves. In this way, the prestige required to command the troops to forcibly attack the city, and it was still at night when the environment was extremely unfavorable, was very high, and apart from Kublai Lai, only Jebe could suppress that group of proud soldiers.

However, Jebe himself is under Keyuan City! (To be continued......)
