The place where Fang had fought bloody battles had already begun to be cleaned, and when Xi Yan escorted his brother into the Golden City, bundles of blood-stained arrows had already been stacked at the edge of the water.

Jincheng is not a very important city, but the water passes through the city, which is undoubtedly more conducive to the transportation of grain and grass during the war, the water has been stained red with blood, Xi Yan turned his face to look at his brother's expression, but saw that he was still plain and unwavering, as if those soldiers who died in battle and the blood that flowed for a long time were really just a number when he reported the battle damage.

Jincheng was not slaughtered by the Uighurs like Lingzhou, and most of the people were still saved, except for the Dazhao officials in the city, all of whom were killed.

When Zhao's army marched into the city, some of the people who were hiding in their homes opened their doors and watched their soldiers impose martial law on the streets. A few days ago, the fear of being occupied by the enemy ** team slowly receded, looking at the depressed mountains and rivers, everyone had the feeling of being lost and regained, and many people had raised their hands to cover their weeping.

Xi Yan witnessed this scene immediately, and thought for a while in his heart, as a general of Da Zhao, it is his responsibility to protect the safety of the people behind him.

In the past, he had also seen scenes of murder and bloodshed, but in wars where tens of thousands of people died at every turn, it was just a small wave in the long river.

Lingzhou and Jincheng have been recovered one after another, and Da Zhao's lost territory outside Xiajin Pass is only less than a thousand miles, if it continues to fight at this rate, there is no need to wait until next year, and all the war can be ended by the end of this year.

Most of the soldiers were immersed in the joy of recovering the lost territory, and only a few veterans who had been through a hundred battles were keenly aware that the campaign was so smooth that it took less than two days to conquer such a vicious battle as Jincheng. As for the army led by Fu Mang, a famous general of Northern Qin, there is not even a trace of it.

The Northern Qin army under Fu Mang's command is like a group of vicious wolves, I don't know where they will be hibernating?

The Jincheng Thorn Mansion has been vacated as a temporary line, and in front of the huge map, Xi Luan is still sitting here safely.

At this time, there were no outsiders in the room, and all the generals had left, so Xi Yan sat down next to his brother.

"Big brother, Jincheng has been broken, and the grain and grass are worry-free. Next, is it going to attack Feng Yi? ”

"Why do you think it's Feng Yi?" It's not that Xi Luan doesn't have this idea, it's just that he has never said this idea, and he was somewhat surprised when Xi Yan said it at this time.

"Feng Yicheng has grain and grass, and there are also enemy troops...... Compared with Lingzhou and Jincheng that we have already won, Feng Yi ...... The city should be stronger and the location is more important, but Feng Yi is the largest city outside Xiajin Pass, and if he wants to recover Shuiluo or even Zhenyuan Pass, Feng Yicheng is absolutely unavoidable. In other words, Feng Yi is a springboard for attacking Shuiluo, and we must win it. ”

"Hmm...... There is some truth. Xi Luan didn't sit upright like Xi Yan, but leaned back on the back of the seat, "It's time to transfer the Xiao Rider and the Leopard Rider back, Feng Yi ......"

Xi Luan smiled gently thoughtfully, and then stopped mentioning it.

"Then when is my brother going to send troops to Feng Yi?"

"Don't worry," Xi Luan leaned on the table with one hand, propped up his body and seemed to want to get up and stand, but after trying hard, he couldn't do it, so he sighed lightly and stopped struggling, "The body is not good after all......

"Brother," Xi Yan was a little sad, and quickly helped him, "You...... You might as well get some rest. ”

"Well, I just want to look at the scenery of the northwest like I did back then." Although Xi Luan's heart was stuffed with a mess, his voice was still steady, "You just asked me when Feng Yi will be sent out, and wait a little longer." ”

"Why is that?" Xi Yan heard that his brother deliberately avoided those past events, so he was also happy to divert the topic, but when he heard him say that he had to delay the march again, he suddenly became suspicious in his heart, "Brother, you know that the northwest winter is cold, and in January, it will be even more snowy and windy, and dripping water will turn into ice. At that time, it will inevitably become difficult for the enemy's food and grass supply and galloping aid, but it will also be more difficult for our army to attack the city. So if you want to fight Feng Yi, you have to hurry up, why does my brother delay the march? ”

"What you said is not bad, but don't forget that our expedition to the northwest is intended to recover all the lost territory and drive the countries of the Western Regions out of Zhenyuanguan, not the gains and losses between one city and one pool. Feng Yi is a hard bone, but he doesn't have to gnaw now, last time we used the Xiao Cavalry Guard and the Leopard Cavalry Guard to transfer the Northern Qin Army far away, this time ...... I will use infantry and baggage to contain the main force of the enemy army in Feng Yi. ”

"What do you mean, brother...... Is it to feint against Feng Yi, or to besiege but not attack? ”

Xi Luan smiled heartily and said approvingly: "If you train for another two years, you can also be the commander of the first army." ”

"Brother, this is an overpraise for me," Xi Yan smiled, but his expression swept a trace of hesitation, "But...... How strong Feng Yi's fortifications were, we know, and the enemy knows, they will naturally rely on the fortification of the city. According to the scout's Tang report, the enemy army has gathered a lot of soldiers and horses in Feng Yi City...... We can't surround it? ”

"It's not something you have to think about," Xi Luan replied without being soft or hard, "With your sharpness, it's better to lead a cavalry." Feng Yi is not far from Shuiluo, I picked 50,000 people for you, go to Shuiluo. ”

"You let me run to Shuiluo?" Brother Fangcai's voice was so light that Xi Yan couldn't believe what he heard, and asked in an accentuated tone.

"Yes," Xi Luan still had a shallow smile between his eyebrows, "Although I am the commander of an army, I still have some selfish intentions. Last time you led your troops out to fight well, if I give you 50,000 elite cavalry, can you control it? ”

"It's okay to be temperate, but my brother really wants to give me such a heavy responsibility as running to Shuiluo?"

Xi Yan was somewhat shocked in his heart, he knew that his brother believed in him, and he also had this ability, but with his current status as the general of Jin Wuwei, if Huan Guohou handed over this battle to him regardless of the surrounding eyes, he was still somewhat suspected of cronyism.

"If you don't avoid relatives, why can't you leave it to you?" Xi Luan knew what he was hesitating about, so he took the initiative to explain it for him, "Besides, the last time you ran for nine days and nights, you won all five battles, that is also in the eyes of everyone, you have this ability, why do you care about other people's opinions." ”

"I don't care, I'm just worried that my brother will be criticized by others."

"It's okay," Xi Luan's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he sighed softly and then turned back to calm, "I chose the 50,000 people for you, they are all from the Xiao Cavalry Guard, the Leopard Cavalry Guard, and even the Shooting Sound Guard, but 50,000 people are no more than 2,000, you have to think more about what you do." ”

Hearing his brother's words, Xi Yan couldn't help laughing and said: "My brother protects me like this, if my father knows, it will definitely be another lesson." ”

"My father won't lecture me."

Xi Yan shrugged: "You are the eldest son, he always teaches me." ”

"Hmm......" Xi Luan chuckled and nodded, when the big war was approaching, no one would be so easy, but when he was so warm, Xi Luan still cherished it.
