"Fourth ,......"

"What is the fourth? Why don't you say it? ”

"The fourth is, wait!"

At this word, Duan You, who was full of anticipation, frowned, and his gaze at Guo Rong became a little complicated.

"The first is the routine operation to deal with the looting of the Tubo people, this time the Tubo people unusually sent troops in winter, and the clear field of the fortified wall is a way to deal with it, which is considered decent."

"Although the second one is suspected of being afraid of death, it is beyond reproach to defend the back road and ensure the grain route, and Jingzhou is the core of the entire Longshan defense line."

"Third, this tactic is not the first one you proposed, nor the first to use it, you mentioned this here, it surprised me, but I don't know if you will surprise me, but before that, boy, I ask you, do you know how much this kind of strangulation war costs? Do you have enough scouts on hand? ”

"Duan Shuai ......"

However, Duan You gently raised his right hand and shook it.

"Young man, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet, and after I finish speaking, you can think about it and tell me together, fourth, you said a word, I can't say that you are wrong."

"But you have to tell me clearly what you're waiting for, waiting for information? Waiting for supplies? Waiting for reinforcements? Waiting for an order from Chang'an? Or is it waiting for something else I don't know. ”

"Or you think you can get my support and approval, it's not impossible, but your three above are not enough, boy, think about it."

However, after Duan You finished saying his request, Guo Rong not only did not answer his question, but instead talked about a seemingly unrelated topic.

"Duan Shuai, kid heard that Guo Dashuai in the past once formulated a defense line across Ling, Wu, Jing, and Longshu after the fall of Yuanzhou and Xiaoguan, and Jingzhou is the core of this defense line."

"Yes, after the loss of Yuanzhou and Xiaoguan, the Tubo people almost came and went freely in the land of Longyou, and Tubo and Fugu Huaien were all from Jingzhou to enter the Kou, in order to ensure Guanzhong, Guo Dashuai had to rely on the terrain to form the Longshan defense line with Lingwu and Shuofang elites."

"Duan Shuai, the kid is waiting!"

"Potential?"

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, now the friend has been distinguished, the enemy is not clear, it is the kid who is waiting for the enemy army is potential!"

"And then, lad? If the power of the Tibetan people is what you want, I want to know what you want to do? What would you do? Do you have the guts to do it! ”

"It depends on what Duan Shuai wants to do, what he can do, and whether he has the courage?"

"I'm old, I don't have this kind of courage anymore, I can guard the way out for you, but what about you, do you have any bold ideas?"

After hearing this, even if Guo Rong reacted relatively slowly, now he understands Duan You's thoughts, at the beginning, this old guy really didn't look down on his gang of people.

However, after discovering the opportunity, his mind immediately changed, this is desperately fooling his family to make meritorious contributions to him, and he doesn't suffer any losses, guarding the way out, that is, Jingzhou, is completely a fart, even if Guo Rong asks him to give up, he will definitely not give up.

"It depends on what Duan Shuai is willing to do?"

"Tell me about it!"

"I need all the cavalry under Duan Shuai!"

Duan You's eyes lit up suddenly, and then he squinted at the sky outside the door.

"Go on!"

"Duan Shuai needs to inform me of the information he has about the entry of Tibet into the Kou, and the Changying Army needs to set up a transshipment supply station in Jingzhou City, purchase meat and poultry and other supply ......, and ......."

Guo Rong looked up at Duan You.

"I need at least the command of the 5,000 Jing Yuan Army, if there is no chance to return it, if there is really a fighter, Duan Shuai must ensure that I can mobilize the 5,000 Jing Yuan Army at any time!"

"Hah! Ha! Ha! ”

Hearing the end, Duan You slapped his palms and laughed, and didn't stop laughing until the tears were almost laughing at the end.

"Okay, the future is terrifying, since you have such thoughts and determinations, then you can stay here, you can set up a supply station if you want, you can also purchase supplies such as meat and poultry, as for the cavalry you need......"

"I have the Jingyuan Army under my command, with a total of 4,000 cavalry, and now there are 2,500 cavalry stationed in Jingzhou, how many people do you need?"

"Don't hide it from Duan Shuai, the Changying Army can now use 300 scouts and 500 light cavalry!"

"Well, it's a little less, it's really not enough to completely block Jingzhou, Yuanzhou, and Qinzhou, let alone enter Wuzhou, then I will give priority to selecting cavalry who are skilled in bows and horses and familiar with the terrain, and give you 1,500 horses."

"There is also the Jingyuan Army, I only left 3,000 people to guard Jingzhou City, and the remaining 7,000 people are all for you, how to arrange it is up to you, but I have a request."

"Duan Shuai, please general!"

"The Jingyuan army under your command, regardless of cavalry or foot soldiers, does not need you to pay a pension if they die in battle, but as long as they are alive, they need you to pay the monthly salary!"

“？？？”

Salary, monthly salaries have to be paid by themselves, what is going on, mercenaries?

The astonishment on Guo Rong's face did not surprise Duan You, Duan You smiled.

"Jingyuan is not as good as Guanzhong, and even less than Chang'an, a bitter cold place, and has seen the Tubo soldiers all the year round, I ordered them to execute, and they will fight to the death to protect their homeland, but if they don't give money and food, do you think they will be willing to be driven by you?"

“……”

An hour later, Li Yu, Guo Rong and others, who had reached an agreement with Duan You, returned to the camp outside the city.

After arranging the others, only Guo Rong, Li Yu, and Luo Chinese were left in the Chinese army's big tent.

"Guo Rong, are you sure it's really okay?"

"Sending troops in winter is not in line with common sense, and now the news is not comprehensive, in case the main direction of the Tubo people is placed on the Jingyuan side, even if there are 7,000 Jingyuan troops, the risk is still very high, is it too early to agree to Duan You!"

Luo Chinese next to him did not speak, but his expression was a little strange, looking like he was saying that Li Yu was too worried.

"General, if I'm not mistaken, he didn't look at us from beginning to end."

"Hey......"

Li Yu's face showed an indescribable bitterness, "If I hadn't personally participated in the formation of the Changying Army, I would probably have the same opinion as him, after all, ......"

"That's why I thought I could give it a try?"

Li Yu and Luo Chinese were stunned at the same time.

"Although Duan You didn't say it, I feel that he should judge that Jingyuan is not the main direction of attack of the Tubo people, at least it is not enough to threaten the entire Longshan defense line, as long as he firmly guards several strategic fulcrums such as Longshan and Jingzhou, it can be guaranteed, otherwise how dare he let a noble army like us go to death!"

Guo Rong's self-deprecating "precious things" made Li Yu cry and laugh, but Guo Rong's words made Li Yu suddenly.

"At first, Duan You really wanted to drive us away, and even I was a little angry with it, but you really didn't expect it, so ......"

"So this old immortal is ready to use us as guns!"

"Yes, if you win, he is the Jingyuan Jiedu envoy who has the merit of strategizing, and if we lose, we are the enemy who ventured into the enemy and was rescued by his 7,000 Jingyuan army, and we still need to remember him a favor, and you can see that you are still fooled?"

"I don't think this is fooled, I heard the veteran of Qiuzi say that the general of Shu Han said to Liu Xuande: 'If Cao Cao comes from all over the world, please refuse it for the king.'" Partial to the 100,000 people, please swallow it for the king. ’”

"If the Tubo people are really 100,000 troops in person, we will fight with them if we are stupid, but if the Tubo people are harassing and feint from the flanks, how much appetite does the general think we can have with 10,000 Changying troops plus 7,000 Jingyang troops?"

"After all, this is the battle after the Changying Army became an army, many recruits have not yet seen blood, the Changying Army and the Jingyang Army are against the elite of the Tubo people, conservatively estimated at 30,000, 30,000 ......"

While muttering to himself, Li Yu's eyes fell on the map drawn by the reconnaissance battalion in the big tent of the Chinese army, and he fell into deep thought, and the big tent quickly fell into silence.

The silence lasted for at least a quarter of an hour, and then Guo Rong heard Li Yu's voice.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, since Duan You helped us make up the reconnaissance battalion and the light cavalry battalion to 1,500 people, so we have 2,000 horsemen, and we also have a guide from Jingyuan!"

As he spoke, Li Yu began to point on the map with his hand at the same time.

"I now feel that it is too early to start pushing the scouts of the Tubo people to strangle now, it is better to form a reconnaissance team and spread a little further, Weizhou, Wuzhou, Qinzhou, Lingzhou, and Shuozhou all go to take a look, thoroughly investigate the situation, as for the strangulation war, ......"

Li Yu looked at Guo Rong with an excited gaze and continued.

"About strangulation warfare...... Guo Rong, your appetite is too small! ”

“？”

"Since they are all here, the troops are not bad, and the conditions are sufficient, if you want to play, you can play big!"

"After the enemy army enters the urn, order the reconnaissance battalion to start strangulation, block the battlefield, cut off the contact between the front and rear of the enemy army, if you can swallow the enemy army, why not go further?"

Guo Rong's gaze instantly moved to a symbol on the edge of the map - Xiao Guan!

"Xiao Guan?"

"In normal times, under strict precautions, it is not easy to take Xiao Pass, but in the twilight of winter, there is just a large army attacking in front, how vigilant do you think the Xiao Pass defenders can be?"

Then Guo Rong remembered Han Yu's evaluation of Li Sheng and Li Yu, and remembered Li Yu's battle for fame, sure enough!

However, this ......

"What do you think of Luo joining the army?"

"General, Zhonglang General, Chinese feasible, but if you really want to act like this, then it makes no sense for Li Lang to leave them in Fengxiang, it is better to directly let them go north along the Huizhong Road, and they can supplement ......!"

At this moment, an angry voice suddenly came into the tent from outside.

"Long-term hatred is not as good as water, waiting for the waves on the flat ground! If the feudal town is not removed, my Datang will not be at peace for a day! ”
