"This is all the conversation between the minister and Li Chengdong, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." Ke Yongsheng was also real, and truthfully retold Li Chengdong's blunt statement that he wanted to kill the emperor, and it was not until he finished saying that he was a little worried, and quickly knelt down, wanting to admit his mistake.

But Sun Ning waved his hand first: "It's not what you think in your heart, what's wrong?" Get up, although it didn't work out this time, it is still a credit for you to venture into the Immortal Pass. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Chengdong is too presumptuous, please send troops to attack him!" Chen Qingyun's face was gloomy when he was listening, and he immediately asked Zhandao.

Then, other people also expressed their positions, and they even criticized Li Chengdong, and they couldn't wait to enter the customs now and break his body into pieces.

Sun Ning laughed: "That's it." Since he doesn't think of me as the emperor, it's not a sin to say this, so why bother with it? Anyway, when we break the barrier, he will definitely not be able to live. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ke Yongsheng, who was nervous, again: "You said he only asked people to bring water to entertain guests?" ”

"Yes, exactly." Ke Yongsheng was a little surprised, and he didn't know what the emperor was doing when he suddenly paid attention to such a detail.

"Then did he have someone bring you some food, and he kept you to eat?"

Ke Yongsheng shook his head again, both sides have become enemies, how could Li Chengdong be so polite? To have water and to be able to leave Youxian Pass safely is already the greatest kindness.

The corner of Sun Ning's mouth hooked slightly: "So have you noticed one of the biggest problems in Youxian Pass, I'm afraid their logistics are about to be unable to catch up." ”

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their spirits were lifted, and they reacted quickly, "Your Majesty means that their food is about to run out?" ”

"Most likely, otherwise it was already time for dinner, and even if Li Chengdong didn't want to entertain a lobbyist, his subordinates would ask him if he wanted to eat. But as a result, from the beginning to the end, there was no such inquiry, let alone any food delivered. ”

Ke Yongsheng thought about it carefully, and he also thought it was true: "What Your Majesty said is very true, but the minister is stupid. ”

"Your Majesty, if this is true, wouldn't it be a few days later, even if we don't attack Youxian Pass, they will not be able to hold it because of the lack of food?" Someone asked excitedly.

But immediately, some people still raised doubts: "We are not encircling Youxian Pass, and behind him is a large area of Liangzhou, how can there be a situation where food and materials cannot be connected?" Could it be an illusion deliberately created by the other party? ”

This question really made everyone doubt again, and when they looked at each other, they looked even more swaying.

At this time, it was Chen Qingyun, who said confidently: "Impossible." Because there is no need for him to do this, it has been delayed for so long, why should he, Li Chengdong, do this?

"Second, although the rear of Youxian Pass is connected to many cities under the rule of Liangzhou, can they really come up with enough food?

"Don't forget, the Liangzhou army has just been defeated in my Xiangyang, not only the soldiers and horses have been seriously damaged, but the grain and baggage have also been destroyed and taken. It can be said that now is the time when the entire Liangzhou is the weakest and most embarrassed, and it is possible that there will not be enough food to support the front line. ”

Sun Ning also agreed with his point of view: "You are right, it is a fact that Liangzhou is now in short supply. Because there is another army that needs him to provide food, it is reasonable to be negligent with the thousands of soldiers and horses here in Youxian Pass. ”

"However, that Guo Yannai has been a veteran for many years, would he really make such a mistake?" Ke Yongsheng had the courage to raise his own questions.

Chen Qingyun was stunned by these words, he didn't dare to despise Guo Yan, at least the other party was much stronger than his own soldiers.

Sun Ning quickly gave his thoughts: "Then what if it's not Guo Yan who is really in charge of the Liangzhou Army now?" ”

"How is this possible?" Chen Qingyun couldn't believe that there would be such a change.

"Do you think, if you were in his position, what would you do in the face of the current situation?" Sun Ning asked again.

Chen Qingyun and the other generals all thought for a moment, and then said in unison: "Since Youxian Pass can block the northward advance of my army, we should try to send troops and horses over to guard the pass together." ”

"Yes, that's the safest way to protect yourself. But now? After more than ten days, the soldiers and horses are still those ones, what about their reinforcements? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally realized that there was a problem.

With Guo Yan's ability and experience, it is impossible to make such a mistake. This is not only a matter of self-preservation, but also that you can use this level to re-boost the morale of the whole army!

If you really think boldly, you can even rely on Youxian Pass to fight a wave of defensive counterattacks, thus completely turning the entire battle around.

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, at least this is the best and last chance for the passive Liangzhou army to counterattack.

But the result? North of Youxian Pass, there is almost no movement......

Is it because they have been discouraged by that defeat, and even Guo Yan can't mobilize these many troops?

I'm afraid not, there should be another reason, for example, Guo Yan himself has a problem!

After some head-to-ear discussions, the generals finally understood the reason, and their expressions were a little more expectant: "So, Your Majesty thinks that the current Youxian Pass has long been exhausted and has become a lonely city?" ”

"Yes, it's just that Li Chengdong has relied on his prestige and his loyalty to hold on until now." Sun Ning said firmly, "But you don't despise each other too much, even so, with the heart of the defenders and the terrain of this Youxian Pass, it is still not easy for us to break through." ”

The emotions of the generals have cooled down a bit, yes, at least the facts in front of you tell everyone that this Youxian Pass is really not something that can be taken down by a conventional strong attack.

"But I don't think that means we can't take advantage of this and break it!" Sun Ning suddenly smiled again, his eyes flashing, full of confidence.

He has already seen the flaws and opportunities in some details of the pass, and now it is nothing more than to take advantage of this point to open this Xiongguan that has blocked the army for half a month at the lowest cost.

Chen Qingyun felt this emotion, and while he was excited, he was a little puzzled: "I don't know what Your Majesty's plan is?" ”

"Well, you'll find out tomorrow." Sun Ning sold a little at this time, and then ordered: "In this way, you let your literate soldiers do something overnight, copy hundreds of copies of a surrender document, and then shoot me into the pass with arrows." ”

"Your Majesty, what use can this be? I'm afraid it won't mess with their morale, right? ”

"Of course, I don't intend to mess with the morale of the army with this means alone. My purpose is to put enough pressure on Lee Seung-dong! ”

Some people died, but not completely......
