"Uncle, since we have already taken Xinye, why don't we take Dengzhou in one go?" Meng Jingyan asked a little timidly.

Meng Jingyan arrived in Xiangyang yesterday, and after passing Meng Yan's edict, Meng Huan was also very straightforward, and directly asked Meng Jingyan to be his own deputy lieutenant and counselor of military affairs.

"Jing Yan, our defense line is already very long, the lack of troops is the key, and what is even more fatal is that we go deep into the hinterland of Nanyang, once Luo Chen kills us at all costs, our army will be hit hard, do you understand?"

"Uncle Eleven, can Da Xi Qianbi still be able to kill him again?" Meng Jing asked puzzled, and his voice became more and more determined.

"Da Xi Qianbi is not terrible, what is terrible is that he has 100,000 Nanyang pawns in his hands, stationed all over Nanyang all the year round, they are very familiar with every grass and tree in Nanyang, but we don't know much about Nanyang, it is not time to march into Nanyang, and it is not time to kill back, I am not afraid of Da Xi Qianbi to kill back, I am afraid of Zhong Rouxuan's old Xiangyang department, when Qingshuai was in charge of the Xiangyang war, it was just a tie with this woman, I really dare not say that it is victorious." In the face of Meng Jingyan, there is no need to say anything grandiose, telling the truth can show his attitude even more.

"Uncle Eleven, will this dispute between Yingshuai and Uncle make Yunmeng in crisis?" Meng Jingyan said politely.

"I'm just worried about this, if Luo Chen and Jinling reach a tacit understanding, there may be a big problem on the front line of Yunmeng."

"The mother concubine and sister are still in Jingshan, should I remind them?"

Meng Huan shook his head and said: "There is no problem for the time being, at least Xinye is still in our hands, and there is no big problem with Suizhou's defense, even if it is defeated, there is time for the prince to make unified arrangements." ”

"Is it already that serious? Is it my uncle's fault? Meng Jingyan felt fear from the bottom of his heart for the first time, he knew since he was a child that the Xifu soldiers under his father's command were the strongest team in the world, invincible and invincible, but from Meng Huan's mouth, he found that Xifu was not indestructible.

Meng Huan shook his head and said: "There is no one's right or wrong, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, boy, why hasn't our Xifu launched a large-scale battle since the Battle of Xiangyang?" ”

"I heard Zhuo Gong say that after years of fighting, the soldiers of my Xifu are tired and the land is deserted, so I have to rest with the people." Meng Jingyan was like opening a new world, a completely different world from the world he had seen in his mind.

"Recuperation is one of them, but I have a million armored warriors in Xifu, more than 100,000 war horses, and countless chariots and warships, so going north is not a problem, but the question is how much combat power we have after the First World War." Meng Huan's words were shocking.

"Uncle Eleven, am I too simple? Or do they only teach me good? Meng Jingyan muttered.

"Boy, Taifu they taught you right, what I told you is not to scare you, since Brother Wang asked you to follow me to train in the army, I have to tell you the realistic situation, don't be timid, the Montessori children are all hard bones, although the other side is terrible, but we are still not afraid, your uncle and handsome are all good, and there are just different opinions." Meng Huan suddenly spoke loudly, he didn't want to crush the self-confidence of this future master.

"Uncle Eleven, Jing Yan has been taught!" Meng Jingyan quickly sorted out his mood, fear was inevitable, but the firm look in his eyes was gradually condensing.

Unlike Meng Huan who taught Meng Jingyan on the battlefield, Quartz is hiding, hiding from the princess, hiding from the lady, hiding from the county lord, these three people are not easy to mess with, and would rather sleep at the juncture of Wusheng Pass than return to the temporary camp in Jingshan.

"Yingshuai, the princess and the county lord have arrived in Jingshan, do you think you have a trip over?" Tan Ji persuaded from the perspective of personal feelings.

Deng Ang on the side nodded again and again, and said, "Marshal, although Your Highness has taken the command of the White-clothed Marshal Mansion from us, it stands to reason that they still cooperate with you." "Deng Ang's exhortation is to start from the direction of official business.

"What do you know, the white-clothed Shuai's mansion was formed by Qingshuai, it's normal for them to be unconvinced, Gu Xifeng I have dealt with, whether he is Niangniang's brother or not, he will not listen to my orders, I don't want to go back for these reasons, but the biggest problem is Yu Qingwu." Quartz said word by word, without any waves.

"What's wrong with Yu Qingwu? Didn't he retreat fifty miles? Could he still dare to fight back? Tan Ji asked first.

Quartz shook his head and measured the map under his feet, Yu Qingwu's retreat this time was definitely not simple, but he never figured it out, so he could only stay at the nearest Wusheng Pass to try to analyze his intentions.

"According to the report from the Ming Jian Division, Yu Qingwu's 200,000 troops gathered in the division town on the south bank of Huaishui, and only sent thousands of rangers to harass us every day. The analysis of the war situation is very good for Deng Ang.

"Huai Shui? Don't? Tan Ji's expression instantly became frightened.

Quartz also frowned, his eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be what?" What do you think?! ”

Deng Ang looked at the topographic map, and also raised his head sharply and said, "Will he do this?!" It's hurtful! ”

"Why don't you dare?! This is under the rule of my Xifu, and the people and officials, all of them are supported by my Xifu. Quartz also understood the key, Tan Ji meant that Yu Qingwu wanted to cut off Huaishui and impact Wushengguan with water, which was the biggest weakness of Wushengguan.

Although the momentum of Huai water is not as fierce as the big river, but the amount of water is also amazing, there is a lake in the north of Wusheng Pass less than ten miles, the Huai water is connected to it, as long as a large amount of Huai water is accumulated in the lake, once the gate is opened, Wusheng Pass will be swallowed up in less than half an hour, and can only retreat to Jigong Mountain all the way.

"If Yu Qingwu really does this, we must be prepared to give up Wusheng Pass, Jigong Mountain is our last line of defense." Quartz immediately made a judgment, since he roughly figured out Yu Qingwu's intentions, he couldn't sit still, it was impossible to win, how to retreat and look good is what he should do, Quartz has been temporarily managing the affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for the past three years, and he is not as obsessed with victory or defeat as before.

"The last general is willing to go to Jigong Mountain to set up defenses, please allow the marshal!" Deng Ang stood up and asked for his life, from a strategic point of view, Wusheng could not defend it, the significance of Jigong Mountain was great, and Deng Ang wanted to leave a way back for the army.

Quartz thought for a moment and said, "Deng Ang listens to the order!" This commander ordered you to lead 20,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 cavalry to defend Jigong Mountain, no matter what happens to us here, you must not move without permission! ”

Deng Ang took a deep breath and took the order.

Looking at Deng Ang's back, Quartz said: "Tan Ji, immediately transfer the people and baggage in the customs to Dingyuan Town, be quick!" ”

"Dashuai, you should take someone to transfer, Wu Shengguan is also under the rule of the last general." Tan Ji said with a smile, how can there be a reason for his subordinates to let the coach take risks, it is not reasonable or reasonable.

"Tan Ji, I know what you think, but no! Yu Qingwu used troops strangely and did not pay attention to the rules, and he did not dare to go south easily when I was in Wushengguan. Quartz insisted.

Tan Ji is not a fool, the task of transfer is to preserve strength, no less difficult than Wu Shengguan, and said: "Marshal, the last general will arrange it immediately, and the army will report the transfer process every half an hour." ”

Knowing that Tan Ji was preparing to buy time for himself, Quartz stopped talking, just smiled slightly, and raised his hand to let him go down.

Everyone is gone, Quartz is sitting alone, and the sergeant outside doesn't dare to disturb, Quartz has been thinking about what happened recently, it's really ironic, he is so easy to bully? As soon as Qingshuai left, Yu Qingwu couldn't sit still, and even a ghost like Da Xi Qianbi dared to harass him.

Outsiders are like this, and the inside is not convincing, Gu Xifeng doesn't have to argue with himself, even a junior general like Meng Huan has an opinion, and his so-called marshal has fallen to such a position, thanks to Yu Qingwu on the other side.

Before I knew it, it was already dark, and Tan Ji had been out of the customs for an hour, the speed was fast enough, and the quality of the sergeant of Laixi Mansion was hard enough, and the soldiers came in and said: "Marshal, it's past three quarters of the unitary hour, can you eat a little?" ”

Quartz nodded, it's true that I'm a little hungry after sitting for so long, it's already like this, it's not always like that to be hungry, it's good to have a good meal.

The quartz operation was as fierce as a tiger, and as soon as a bowl of soup was eaten, the shouts outside started.

Quartz hiccuped helplessly, this Yu Qingwu is always so timely, so punctual, Quartz stood up and put on his helmet, and shouted: "Notify all departments, withdraw the troops!" ”

Quartz led the 20,000 horses guarding the pass to be quite calm, at least 20,000 horses did not lose much, when there were still forty miles away from Jigong Mountain, the Ming Jian Division reported that Quartz felt that things were not as simple as he imagined, the letter said that Da Xi Qianbi and the old department of Xiangyang broke Gu Xifeng on the north bank of the Danjiang River, Gu Xifeng had retreated to the south bank of the valley city to defend, and Meng Huan's decision was fast enough, in order to avoid becoming a lone army, Meng Huan decisively gave up Xinye and retreated to Xiangyang.

The Western Front was defeated, and the Eastern Front lost Wusheng Pass in its own hands, which was really a complete defeat.

Before the centaurs got up, the rear army came to report, Yu Qingwu personally led the chasing soldiers to kill him, Quartz was in a trance, he gave up Wushengguan just to tell Yu Qingwu not to chase him, this guy is endless, angry, very angry.

Quartz immediately ordered the front team to change to the back team, and if he didn't beat Yu Qingwu back, his face would be lost.

The sergeants on both sides immediately stuck to each other, the bigger the quartz, the more weak the heart, the signs were wrong, and the other party's way of fighting was clearly trying to contain himself.

Suddenly, there was a bang sound in the direction of Jigong Mountain behind Yu Qingwu, and Quartz suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, it was over, Yu Qingwu's real purpose was Jigong Mountain, and the flooding of Wusheng Pass was just a trick, and this game was too big.

It didn't take long for Deng Ang, who was wounded by an arrow and embarrassed, to appear in front of him, only to see Deng Ang turn over and dismount and fall to the ground with a crying voice, "Dashuai, we encountered an ambush before we arrived at Jigong Mountain, and we suffered heavy losses!" ”

After listening to it, Quartz felt a sweet throat, and a warm current gushed out of his chest, and he immediately felt that his consciousness was out of his body, and he was still thinking in his heart before closing his eyes: "Lao Tzu is so far away from Yu Qingwu!" ”

The commander of the army fell, even if the soldiers of Xifu were tempered, it was difficult to have fighting spirit, and under the command of Deng Ang, the remnants of the army were defeated and retreated to Guangshui County.

Yu Qingwu, who was standing in the Jigong Mountain military village, watched the remnants of the quartz retreat, and immediately ordered: "After chasing to Guangshui, stop the march, and immediately return to Jigong Mountain to hold on!" ”

Xiao Han was a little puzzled and asked, "General, we finally trapped Quartz and let him go like this?" ”

"Tanmalai reported that there is a large army heading north in the direction of Jingshan."
