"Third brother, I think that the Lord of Jiedu will probably not be so short-sighted, Caizhou and Huaibei are both prosperous and lossy, especially in the face of the biggest enemy of Daliang, it is not enough for us to join hands, and we also need to pull the Dajin and Taining armies, it is impossible for him not to understand this truth. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "After a long time, Yuan Wuxing spit out a rough breath.

"There may be nothing on the side of the Jie Du Envoy, but what about these people under Huaibei?" a smile appeared at the corner of Yuan Wuwei's mouth, "Haven't we never dealt with those guys, do big things and spare their lives, and forget their righteousness when they see small profits, are they trustworthy?"

"Third brother, if we keep this mentality, I'm afraid the situation will be even worse. Yuan Wuxing shook his head, "Although there are short-sighted people among the generals in Huaibei, I believe that they are also a minority, and the festival makes the adults still quite supportive of our Caizhou, judging from the current situation, the situation in Caizhou for a period of time in the future may be quite severe, and our dependence on Huaibei will be greater, so we need to be more careful in this, and we cannot reveal our dissatisfaction with Huaibei, not only you and me, but also other people, especially Wen Yu, Wen Huai, Wen Bai, and Wen Ji." ”

Yuan Wuwei's reminder made Yuan Wuwei secretly shocked in his heart, and he had to admit that Lao Qi had a unique view of the overall situation and observation.

Yuan Wuwei knew that he was also the third foal of the Yuan family, but Yuan Wuxing's position was a little embarrassing.

In terms of fame, style and resume outside are far less dazzling than himself, not to mention martial arts cultivation, and in terms of age, he is a few years older than the old nineteen, but he is not as good as the old nineteen in terms of martial arts talent and entry, and the old nineteen is the son of the head of the family, so the family has always neglected the seventh child who is sandwiched between himself and the old nineteen.

In addition, he has always been friendly with Lao Nineteen, and Lao Nineteen's personality is originally a bit reckless and conceited, so he has not been very respectful of Lao Qi's verbal attitude, so Lao Qi has always maintained a somewhat sparse distance between himself and Lao Nineteen.

But Yuan Wuwei knows that Lao Qi may not be as good as himself and Lao Nineteen in martial arts cultivation, but he is far better than Lao Nineteen in terms of strategy and vision, and he is not far better than himself, and Lao Qi's character has always been forbearing, calm and decisive, worthy of great responsibility, but in his own position, it is difficult for him to reach the point of intimacy.

"Old Seven, you are right, our current situation is not very good, and we need to be more careful in this regard. Yuan Wuwei nodded, "Today's situation is not good, what do you think we should do now?"

Yuan Wuxing was a little vigilant, today's defeat has appeared, but how to deal with this situation is a dilemma, this is not something he can interject, and he is even more reluctant to be a scapegoat.

Shaking his head, Yuan Wuxing's face was calm: "This depends on the opinion of the third brother, if we want to fight, we can still fight, although the loss today is not small, but the real loss of combat effectiveness is only four or five thousand people of the two armies, and the situation of the Gushi Army is probably even worse, how many of them can still go to the city tomorrow? Not to mention that the three gaps are not so easy to repair, the sword and shield car can only be used for a while, as long as the catapult is pushed up, it is not difficult to blast it open and smash it." ”

"You mean we will continue to attack the city tomorrow?" Yuan Wuwei seemed to be asking Yuan Wuxing's opinion.

"No, I said, it depends on the opinion of the third brother, if we fight, Gushi will definitely be able to take it, but my losses will probably not be small, and it is not certain how long the war will last for us, every old soldier is precious, whether it is cost-effective to use it in the small city of Gushi, it is necessary for the third brother to consider it himself. ”

Yuan Wuwei was extremely tactful and only provided some options and suggestions, but he refused to show his attitude at all, which made Yuan Wuwei very helpless, Lao Qi had a deep prejudice against himself, and it was not a day's work to resolve the gap between the two.

But Yuan Wuxing's opinion is quite pertinent.

To what extent the battle between Daliang and Caizhou will be fought, it is difficult to say, whether the Taining army and the Jin army will join in, and if so, how deep the involvement will be, these are directly related to the life and death of Caizhou, which also requires Caizhou to prepare for the worst.

This is actually a hint that I am afraid that I am thinking about the next step of war preparations.

Yuan Wuxing fell into deep thought.

In addition to the lack of troops, Yuan Wuwei also had to consider the losses of generals.

Zhao Lan's death made him feel pain to the bone marrow, and the shock that Zhao Lan's death might bring about would also cause some suspicion within the Caizhou army, which Yuan Wuwei had already expected, so he had to let Uncle Jiu go back alive, otherwise Lao Qi would be attacked, and the entire Caizhou army would set off waves that had never been seen before.

Yuan Huaide was seriously injured, as well as Lao Nineteen, Yuan Wenbai, and Yuan Wenyu were all injured, and now only he and Lao Qi, Yuan Wenji, and Yuan Wenhuai were left, and if they forcibly attacked the city tomorrow, they would face a fierce battle.

Thinking of this, Yuan Wuwei's original intention to continue to insist on resolutely taking down Gushi was a little shaken.

As Lao Qi said, there is no problem in taking Gushi, but what about after taking it? It is impossible for the Gushi army to be used for its own use, at least in the short term, and it is even necessary to retain a certain number of troops to control here, so what about the northern front? What about the western front?

Both of these places still need to draw troops to help, and the head of the family has never considered trapping these more than 10,000 troops in this small Gushi City.

Footsteps came from outside the big tent, "Third general, Zhixun asks to see you." ”

"Please come in. ”

It was Xue Zhixun who came in, Yuan Wenyu's deputy.

"Zhixun, how is the situation?" asked Yuan Wuwei in a deep voice.

"General Hui San, basically counted out, the main losses are the magic materials and some siege equipment, the food has not been damaged, and the food can still last for three to five days. Xue Zhixun clenched his fists and saluted.

"The food is not damaged, but the siege equipment and materials have been burned? Well, that's good, that's good. Yuan Wuwei was slightly determined in his heart.

If the food is destroyed, their army must withdraw to the north of Huaishui to get supplies, otherwise it is really only by forcibly laying down the solid beginning to get the baggage supplies, now that the food is still there, they have a lot of room to choose, but the siege equipment has been destroyed a lot, and there are magic materials, which greatly weakens the attack ability of tomorrow's war.

Before he could say anything more, there was another sound of hurried footsteps outside the big tent, and before he could even make a report, a person broke in.

It was Yuan Wenji who broke in, his face flushed, and he was holding a few letters in his hands, "Third brother, the head of the family and the news from Gwangju." ”

Yuan Wuwei took the letter, glanced at the ten lines, and quickly skimmed through it, his face became even more complicated and unpredictable.

Yuan Wuxing and Xue Zhixun both looked at each other, not knowing what was happening in the north.

"The Liang army was divided into two routes, one way through the Da Lishui, straight to the county town of Lishui, and now the head of the family has led the army to engage in battle, and the other road entered Yuncheng and besieged Yuncheng. The head of the family is more worried that the Liang army on the front line of Xiping and Wufang will make a big move. ”

Yuan Wuwei handed the letter to Yuan Wuxing and sighed.

"In addition, there is news from Gwangju that the Shenzhou Nanyang Army is about to move. ”

Yuan Wuxing and Xue Zhixun both changed color.

After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Wuxing suggested: "Gwangju is not to be feared, Nanyang's rule in Shenzhou is not yet stable, and the front line of Gwangju is longer, Liu Xuan may not have the courage." The head of the family is very worried, and the first line of Xiping and Wufang is even more worrying, and it is on this line that Li Yuxue entered Caizhou at night in the past,......"

Yuan Wuwei shook his head slightly, and gently rubbed his fingers under his chin: "Old Seven, the line from Xiping and Wufang to Langshan is longer, if Daliang and Nanyang secretly reach an agreement, and both sides send troops at the same time, how to deal with it?"

From Xiping along the smelting furnace city, Rongshan Mountain, Wencheng Gate to Langshan this line, all of which are strategic points in Caizhou, once this line is broken by Daliang or Nanyang, the entire hinterland of Caizhou will be exposed to the enemy's swords, and the consequences are unimaginable.

"Nanyang is going all out to seize Anzhou, how dare you raise troops on both sides?" Xue Zhixun couldn't help but say.

Yuan Wuxing also seemed to be considering Yuan Wuwei's point of view, and pondered for a while before saying: "Nanyang Liu Xuan is extremely ambitious and has been planning for a long time, I'm afraid that he really reached some agreement with Daliang, then it's hard to say, and Nanyang has been fighting hard for so many years, has not used swords and guns, and his strength has never been damaged, whether he has this intention or not, it is not easy to judge, this can only be judged by combining the intelligence of the meticulous work and scouts." ”

"Uncle Jiu once said that Gwangju Xizuo has learned that the prices of grain, cowhide, beef tendon, magic materials, and raw wrought iron in Shenzhou have risen to a certain extent recently, could it be that Nanyang is accumulating military funds needed for the war?" Xue Zhixun also asked a little nervously.

Yuan Wuwei and Yuan Wuxing exchanged glances, and slowly shook their heads: "Not necessarily, there are many possibilities for Liu Xuan to purchase these military funds, maybe to support Gushi, maybe it is necessary for Shenzhou to confront Gwangju in the future, this can't be summed up in one word." ”

"But the front line of Xiping and Wufang is indeed very dangerous, and the Liang is raising troops at the same time in Yuncheng and Nanchenzhou, which may be a trick to attack the west and ,......."

Yuan Wuxing also has a bit of a headache, in the absence of sufficient intelligence, it is indeed difficult to make an accurate judgment, and Da Liang does have the strength to use troops on the third or even fourth lines at the same time, as long as there are no other forces to contain it, Da Liang can indeed completely defeat Caizhou.

"The head of the family also said in the letter that he had asked for help from the King of Jin, the Taining Army and the Jiedu Envoy in advance. Yuan Wuwei said word by word: "But when these three parties will send troops, it is difficult to say, maybe the Taining army will be faster, but the Jin army will ......."

Caizhou has always been the main backer of Huaibei, but this time Huaibei was trapped by ant thieves and it was difficult to get out, and it is estimated that Huaibei will quickly send troops to support Caizhou, but it is difficult to be satisfied in terms of strength.

On the Jin army's side, Yuan Wuwei shook his head slightly, but he didn't know if the Jin army could realize how much this war would have on the entire Central Plains and the Great Jin. (To be continued.) )
