Xue Renguo, who retreated to Qinzhou, retreated the defeat of this battle to other generals, which made the generals resentful of Xue Renguo even more. And Chang Zhongxing was treated politely by Wei Yunqi, and finally accepted his heart, and according to Chang Zhongxing's words, he learned that Xue Renguo had not been on good terms with the generals since he ascended the throne, and after this defeat, he would be angry with others.

The herald ordered the detailed investigation in Qinzhou, and heard that Liang Huyun was angered by Xue Renguo and was sentenced to prison, which made the hearts of the generals of Western Qin fluctuate and complain. Wei Yunqi couldn't help but be overjoyed, since the internal instability of Western Qin, coupled with the fluctuating morale of the army after this defeat, it was the best time to seize the entire territory of Western Qin, so he first sent a pigeon letter to ask this prince to decide.

Li Jing and Qu Tutong also fell silent after reading this letter, not that the news is not good, but it is too good, but this son has decided to use troops in Shuzhong in the south when he arrives in the coming year, and now, Wei Yunqi jumped up and asked for more troops, so that he could defeat Xue Renguo as quickly as possible, take the land of Western Qin, and open up the passage of the Western Regions.

Well, now, between the Western Regions and Guanzhong, there was originally Li Liang and Xue Ju each with a paragraph, but now, the land of Hexi is all in my hands, and now, as long as Xue Renguo can be taken, then the Silk Road will be smooth again, and the smooth trade route means that money is rolling in like flowing water, how can this not make people excited?

This son was also tickled by Wei Yunqi's letter, no, it was itchy in his heart, and he couldn't wait to wave his army over now and directly wipe out Xue Renguo. However, seeing the expressions of Qu Tutong and Li Jing, I knew very well what they thought.

One is the commander of the Southern Route Army, the other is the chief of staff of the Southern Route Army, they naturally don't want to be divided into forces to aid the north at this time, if this is the case, after being divided into troops, it is absolutely impossible to easily take Shuzhong, but if you wait for the north to finish fighting and then fight the south, who knows what will happen if the road drags on for a long time?

Headache, seeing these two guys looking helpless, Du Ruhui next to him is eyes shining, let's go, it's better to let everyone discuss. "Inform the generals of the armies and let them all come over and discuss important matters."

"No!" Li Yuanfang, who was outside the door, said loudly to the guards, but in a moment, a large number of guards rode away, and an hour later, all the generals and important ministers in the suburbs of Chang'an gathered together.

Du Ruhui naturally told you about Wei Yunqi's letter first. Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but be overjoyed, and there was another battle to fight.

Ben Gongzi coughed dryly twice and then said loudly: "...... Now, Xue Renguo's internal and external troubles, coupled with the new defeat at the hands of General Wei, the land of Western Qin, people's hearts are fluctuating, it is a good opportunity to break the enemy, what do you think? ”

"Of course it's a war, Xue Ju's father and son, they are cruel by nature, they are not good at managing the people, but they plunder the people like bandits, and the land of Western Qin is full of complaints, but they are afraid of Xue Ju's father and son, so they swallow their anger. Xue Ju died, and Xue Renguo was by no means a capable master, and his subordinates were centrifuged, and now in the event of a big defeat, it will definitely make the hearts of the people of Western Qin float, and it is the right time to wave the army to seize Western Qin. Yang Gongdao stood up and said very impassionedly.

Most of the civil and military forces present agreed, but there were also people who jumped out to oppose it, and a lot of preparations were currently aimed at going south to Shuzhong, and now, suddenly transferring troops to the north to attack Western Qin, then, it is very likely to affect the previous plan to go south.

And since Xue Renguo is so incompetent, then continue to let him mess with his own people for a while longer, maybe he will be able to take all the land of Western Qin without spending a single soldier.

Of course, such a theory is completely, no matter how stupid Xue Renguo is, he will not be stupid enough to do this, as long as he is given a certain amount of time, he will definitely try to integrate the scattered Western Qin up and down, and at that time, if he thinks about dealing with it, it will definitely be more laborious than cleaning him up now.

As the so-called public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, the two factions are arguing about the dirty smoke miasma, and my son is also dizzy when he hears it, and his eyes are straight, but in one vote of Wenchen, one or two squatted in their seats to watch the play, and they looked like they were so idle that they had a show to watch, which was really speechless.

Forget it, don't bother to pay attention to these guys, after thinking about it, he poured a sip of tea with the white foam on the corner of his mouth and hooked his finger to Li Jing, who was about to jump out of the mouth again to fight with people's tongues, this guy looked at the battlefield with some reluctance, and reluctantly came to me and whispered: "What does the lord command?" ”

"Let me ask you, how many new troops are there now?" Ben Gongzi ignored this guy's resentful eyes, squinted at those tireless generals and continued to talk nonsense, while asking in a low voice.

Li Jing replied without thinking about it: "There are three armies. According to your orders, the two armies, which are half mixed with new soldiers and half veterans, will be included in the southward army, and the new 21st army will be stationed in Longxi to pacify the Hexi corridor. ”

"You say, if this army, plus the two garrison brigades that had just been reorganized, were handed over to General Wei for command, would General Wei be able to take Western Qin?" Ben Gongzi asked after touching his chin.

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, frowned and pondered for a long time, then slowly shook his head: "The minister thinks it's inappropriate, the new 21st Army and the two garrison divisions are all new armies, and the weapons and equipment are still used in the old equipment in the Chang'an Mansion. In addition, the ratio of veterans in the army is only ten to one, and most of the recruits have never been on the battlefield, so it is okay to use them to pacify the locality. ”

Hearing this, Ben Gongzi couldn't help frowning. Indeed, the Chinese Revival Army under Ben Gongzi has expanded too fast, and the proportion of veterans is insufficient, and the veterans who have participated in more than three battles are now less than fifty percent.

Therefore, every time a new army is formed, a large number of backbone personnel will be drawn from the old army to supplement it to ensure combat effectiveness. Of course, these are field armies that want to attack and defend the border, and the troops guarding the pacification areas do not need such a high mixing rate, for example, the newly formed 21st Army, which has just been formed, has even reached a ratio of 10 to 10 veterans.

Unless such an army can undergo a long period of training and exercises, it will be able to have enough combat effectiveness to fight the regular army of the world's heroes, otherwise, if thrown on the battlefield, the battle loss rate will definitely be much higher than that of the army composed of veterans.

At present, Wei Yunqi has three armies and two garrison divisions on his hands, but in addition to defending the land west of the river, he must also be vigilant against the Liang division and those Turks who have been eyeing the lands of Yan'an County, and no one knows when those nomads will suddenly turn their faces.

In addition, the land west of Hexi is a newly occupied land, and it cannot be relaxed, so what Wei Yunqi can use in his hands is at most an army plus one or two divisions, with more than enough defense and insufficient offensive.

After all, although Xue Ju died, the brave soldiers of the Western Qin Dynasty were famous, and it would be too to defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the entire Western Qin with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Increasing the number of troops is necessary, but the new 21st Army is definitely not a good choice.

Headache, looking at this big ticket of the northward faction and the southern invasion faction arguing here, this son is even more headache, Xue Renguo in the north I want to clean up in order to open up the Silk Road, and I also want to seize Shuzhong in the south to get the foundation for future development.

It's all a good thing, but I am in a dilemma because of the lack of troops, but whether it is the northbound faction or the southward faction, they are all fighting on the basis of reason, and each has its own reason. The sooner you go south, the sooner you can take advantage of the opportunity of the Central Plains Heroes to cut and kill each other and have no time to take care of each other, control a larger territory, and at the same time, you can also preemptively clean up Xiao Mo in order to seize the rich and war-torn land in the south of the Yangtze River.

I can also get through to Jiaozhi, bring nearly half of the territory of the former Sui Dynasty under my rule, and then take care of the bloody Central Plains heroes who slash each other. But if the north is not taken down at this time, will it be impossible to wait for Xue Renguo to understand his mistake and organize the Western Qin as a soldier, and he will not be able to attack like a rock?

This reminds me of a famous old song from the past: dilemma. If it weren't for the fact that such an important meeting was being held to formulate the future direction of China, Ben Gongzi would have been eager to sing it, so that these guys could understand that my mood at the moment was so entangled.

After Li Jing finished answering my words, he saw the melancholy on Ben Gongzi's face, and he couldn't help but squat next to me and frown and think hard, seeing how Youmu has the best of both worlds. After thinking about it for a long time, but there was no good way, at this time, my son saw that Li Xuanba was settling with Luo Shixin who had nothing to do with him, and he was laughing there from time to time, and he suddenly became angry.

I coughed a few times, and everyone who was still arguing stopped their mouths one after another, and turned their eyes on me, I smiled and looked at Li Xuanba and Luo Shixin, who were still talking nonsense, and said loudly: "Brother Xuanba, Brother Shixin, my son sees that the two of you are bragging and farting there very leisurely, don't you have a plan in your heart?" ”

"Huh?" The two young generals, Li Xuanba and Luo Shixin, were like chrysanthemums receiving a red cherry spear, their bodies were stiff, their mouths were open as if they were expecting to be stuffed into a durian, and their eyes were dull as if they had just been wheeled by a hundred elephants.

"Ah what, I see that the two of you are just talking and laughing here, calmly, you must have made up your mind for a long time, come quickly, in order to relieve your worries for my brother and you." Ben Gongzi grinned, strode forward, and hooked his fingers at these two guys with a smile, well, anyway, there is no way to think about it, tease these two stupid people, and Ben Gongzi can relax his mood anyway.

Hearing my words, the sound of porphyry was endless, and several non-authentic guys held back their laughter, and one or two of the old and heavy civil and military officers had strange expressions like collective stool, Wei Zheng opened his mouth, and finally shook his head, Well, if he speaks, this son will definitely ask him for advice, and he can't hold him back.
