When Xu Jian came down from the city wall, it was already dawn.

The torches in the camp were blown out, and the soldiers changed their guards and drilled, and they were full of vitality.

Walking through the camp, Xu Jian walked all the way to the middle tent, opened the curtain and went in, and saw that several generals around the big case were actively discussing something.

The Marquis of Dingbei has not yet come, and the rest of the generals are in full swing.

The two greeted each other and returned to the discussion.

Xu Jian listened for a while and knew that they were all anxious about the affairs of the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

"Mother, work hard for Li Du? Lao Tzu sees that some people in the court are afraid that they are not working for Xiliang Guyue! We're here against the enemy, and they're stabbing in the back! ”

"The days in the capital are so mixed, anyone can fart with their mouths, throw them all outside Yumen, and it won't take a quarter of an hour to know what farts can be put and what farts can't be released!"

"I know you're all angry, but it's useless for us to scold here for three days and three nights."

"That's the case, we won't pay attention to those who splash dirty water, and the Holy Lord has no serious measures for the time being, but it's not a good strategy to go on like this, what if the Holy Lord changes generals?"

"You also have to consider the family members of the marshal in the capital."

"What then? If you want to wash away the stigma, you have to rely on military exploits, and now we will raise troops to fight out? ”

"You can't just fight, Xiliang Guyue is still on the rise, and what was originally agreed is to drag it out over the summer and wait until the autumn for them to ......"

"Can we wait, can the handsome family wait? If it's not three days, it's at least three months! ”

"Let's think about how to kill Xiliang Majesty! Let them suffer a defeat, and it can also make them have infighting! ”

"It's all total."

The map is hung on the shelf, and the sand table is placed on the big case.

Everyone has a word, I say a word, take a finger, plant a flag, and each has its own way of thinking.

Seeing that Xu Jian was silent, Shi Lei asked him in a low voice: "You don't agree with taking the initiative to go out?" ”

Shi Lei is the original general of Yumen Shouguan, he used to be a fierce general before Xu Mang's battle, and he made a lot of achievements.

After Yongjia recovered Yumen at the end of the eighth year, Xu Mang's class returned to the court, treated his injuries, and recommended Shi Lei to stay in Yumen.

It's been almost five years.

Shi Lei witnessed Xu Jian's first appearance on the battlefield that year, and also watched him hurt his leg to save Li Shao, he thought that Xu Jian would no longer be able to march and fight, but this time he saw him come together, and he recovered well, and he was quite happy.

"It's not that I disapprove," Xu Jian pondered, "it's just ......"

As soon as the words began, Dingbei Hou came in.

The spirit of Dingbei Hou seems to be good, and seeing that the public will maintain it like this, the old man is also very excited: "I, Ji Pei, swear with the life of my whole family, I have nothing to do with that thief Li Du!" I have a clear conscience, and I will definitely be worthy of everyone's support! ”

Dingbei Hou also joined the discussion.

Xu Jian did not continue to talk to Shi Lei about the previous topic, but plunged into the meeting first.

This military intelligence meeting lasted for half an hour, and the generals came up with several ideas and plans, and then they had to make choices based on the information collected by the scouts, combined with the time of day, etc.

Everyone took their own orders and withdrew from the middle tent.

Xu Jian fell last and was left behind by the Marquis of Dingbei.

Not only him, Dingbei Hou also stopped Shi Lei.

"I can understand everyone's feelings," Dingbei Hou said, "I desperately want to win a big victory, exchange my reputation with military merits, and also use military merits to suppress public opinion in Beijing, not to say innocence, at least to make the family members who stay behind easier."

However, the most fearful thing about fighting a war is to be too hasty.

It is said that there is no preparation for the battle, but if I want to see it, the people of Xiliang are well prepared. ”

If you want to grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige, it is nothing to do in private, and when arranging troops, the most important thing is to seek truth from facts.

Shi Lei touched his beard and thought about it, and then asked Xu Jian: "I said half of it before, what exactly do you think?" ”

Dingbei Hou's eyes also fell on Xu Jian.

Xu Jian sorted out his thoughts and said to the two: "Seeing the move, Dingbei Hou was slandered and colluded with Li Du, and if you want to prove your innocence at this moment, it is best to return with a big victory." On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this idea, but what would he do if the person who laid out the layout was really Li Du? ”

Shi Lei said "Huh".

"If he wants to discredit me, he won't let me prove himself," Dingbei Hou reacted faster, "I remember mentioning it when Jing Li checked him, and he had a long connection with Gu Yue. ”

"Good guys!" Shi Lei slapped his thigh, "It turns out that he wants to wait for the rabbit!"

Gu Yue's infighting and infighting, Lao Tzu doesn't believe a word!

They are the grass on the wall, who used to follow us to eat and drink spicy food, but now they are jumping up and down on the back of Xiliang, wanting to bite us.

It must have been because they saw that we were guarding the Yumen and knew that we were going to consume, so they wanted to fish us out!

Li Du has a close relationship with Gu Yue, he set fire to the big marshal in the capital, can't we just go out hard?

They have been prepared for a long time, and when the two armies face each other, they don't know what selfish means are waiting for us! ”

If it was just an ordinary war, a tragic victory would also be a victory, in addition to the grief in the hearts of the soldiers, there would be at least an explanation to the imperial court.

But this is not the case.

There are people in the capital waiting to catch Beihou's braids, and unless it is a big victory, the rest can't be handled.

Shi Lei can imagine it with his toes.

"He formed an alliance with Li Du and deliberately consumed our Dashun soldiers."

"A pyrrhic victory? He asked the soldiers to be sent to death, the less our troops, the happier Li Du became, and he still had to win the word, what a shame! ”

Those who shout are not necessarily stupid, and many are bad.

"So to speak," Shi Lei asked, "we went out to fight, but instead we fell into the scheme?" ”

"With what I know about Li Du," Xu Jian raised his eyes and said in a solemn tone, "Whether he proves himself or not is his trap, once he falls into the entanglement of 'not getting out', it will be as he wants." He doesn't have to answer the questions he asked, just tear up the paper. ”

Shi Lei's eyes lit up.

Dingbei Hou also came to be interested.

They are military generals who have been fighting for many years, although there are really few people who are not dirty in leading troops to fight, and the tactics are set one after another, but when it comes to character, everyone likes to be direct.

"How?" Dingbei Hou urged.

Xu Jian said: "The marshal is only suspicious now, and the saint is also forced to besiege the mansion, and there are no serious measures, so it can be seen that he doesn't believe it either."

Li Du won't bet all his treasures on the Xiliang and Guyue coalition forces, in case we really go out to fight, or a big victory, wouldn't Li Du be busy in vain?

The alliance between the commander and him is more important to Li Du than who wins or loses between us and the enemy.

He'll want to be proven. ”

"What counts as evidence?" Dingbei Hou took a breath, "I'll sit with him and talk about wine?" I dare to drink, does he dare to come? ”

"He doesn't use it, just let his people come," Shi Lei waved his hand, "Dead soldiers, isn't that how it is used?" ”

"Grain and grass," Xu Jian turned to look at Yutu and said, "All the grain and grass we mobilized have passed through Jingzhou Mansion, and in addition to those that have arrived in Yumen, there are many storehouses in the vicinity.

The specific state of the grain and garrison is only known in the army, and the Jingzhou government only cooperates, but does not know the details.

If there is a problem with the grain and grass......"

Dingbei Hou understood: "That's what I told Li Du, and Li Du burned it all for me." ”

"It's so ruthless!" Shi Lei was speechless again and again, "Moving grain and grass, he is really not afraid that Yumen will be penetrated by the Xiliang people?" ”

Grain and grass are the top priority, but if you want to say that there is no mistake, more is the way to lose.

Porters were needed to transport the grain, and it was all called up for military service, and there were so many of them that it was not surprising that anyone was mixed in.

Knowing the specific location of the grain, the fire burned, regardless of whether there was a loss or not, it was difficult for Dingbei Hou to explain to the capital.

Dingbei Hou thought for a while and said: "Lord Ren is in charge of the east-west transportation in Jing'an City, and the granary is afraid that someone will be plotting to inform him as soon as possible, and he also needs to strengthen his vigilance, and at the same time adjust the route of transporting grain, and divide it into several sections......"

The three of them got together and discussed with the map for a while.

At the end, the Marquis of Dingbei sighed, his eyes were still resolute, but he couldn't hide his tiredness in his demeanor.

"The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light," he said to Xu Jian, "Li Du is biased and ruthless, and we try our best to guard against him, but we may not be able to completely prevent him."

I don't know how the follow-up will progress in the capital, and the saint believed in me yesterday, and maybe he won't believe me tomorrow.

I handed over the tiger talisman to you, if the saint sends me back to Beijing for questioning, I will definitely have to go back immediately, and when the time comes, Yumen will be handed over to you and General Shi. ”

Shi Lei's face was flushed with anger: "It's not that step yet, don't say frustrating words!" ”

Dingbei Hou made fists with both hands and saluted the two: "I still say the same thing, I am full of doors with the Ji family, and I have a clear conscience." ”

Xu Jian bowed.

He can trust Dingbei Hou.

"Let's hurry up and deliver the news to Jing'an City first."

On the morning of this day, a fast horse left Yumen and rushed to Jing'an City through Chengyuan County.

Ji Xin, the second son of the Marquis of Dingbei, received the order and led the soldiers all the way to the east to increase the garrison of the grain transportation route.

Ji Xin's eldest son Ji Guang was also in the queue, and Yu Chengan was also in the queue.

After arriving in Yumen, Yu Chengan has been practicing, and he also fought with the Xiliang people who wanted to attack Yumen at night, and was stabbed in the arm.

The injury was not serious, and he recovered quickly after being taken care of by Dr. Yue, but he was still transferred from the city wall by the Marquis of Dingbei.

Yu Chengan went to fight for it, but was blocked by a few words from Dingbei Hou.

"Preferential? Your surname is Yu, I don't give you preferential treatment, I will cause you to sacrifice in vain, I am afraid that your grandfather will settle accounts with me. ”

"Out of the customs against the enemy, if I stop you, I will not be right, now it is stationed, before your injuries are fully recovered, in case you add some pain, the gains outweigh the losses."

"You don't want to be like Fu Guogong, if you really want to fight with the Xiliang people, you can't play your skills, right?"

"There are no more guards on the city wall, no more than you, no less than you, you have to be unconvinced, take care of your arms, step up your training, and when you want to kill out, I will order you to be a pioneer!"

Yu Chengan was convinced.

For a while, it is dormant, and it is waiting for the time to rise again.

Today, the soldiers who returned to the grain and grass protection route were selected, and Xu Jian asked Yu Chengan to follow.

At the same time, Yu Cheng'an and Ji Guang get along well, and they also know what Ji Guang has been worrying about recently.

This way arrived in Chengyuan, the brigade was stationed outside the town, and Ji Xin asked Ji Guang to send the letter of the Marquis of Dingyuan to the county office.

Yu Chengan went with him.

Chengyuan County is not big, because it is a traffic artery, and in recent days it is the only way to transport grain and grass, even after dark, there are still many shops in the town.

In the county office, the public hall is brightly lit, and many officials are here to cooperate in doing things.

The county Cheng Fuzheng couldn't stop talking to the people around him.

Ji Guang had been here before, recognized people, and after greeting him, he asked where the county order was.

Yu Fu hurriedly said: "Lord Tian has been busy for two days and one night, and he really can't bear it, so he will take a break in the back office, and I will ask someone to find him." ”

When Tian Xianling heard the news, he came in a hurry, took the letter and read it, and his expression was very solemn.

"Little general," he said, "the porters are all summoned, and they have all identities, but they are transported along the way, and if anyone fishes in troubled waters in the wilderness...... Alas, it is easy to guard against foreign enemies, and it is necessary to prevent people from making trouble inside......"

Ji Guangdao: "I know the difficulties, but I also have to be cautious, not only in Chengyuan County, but all the way." ”

Tian County's order should be given.

Yu Chengan asked Yu Fu about the situation in the county, how the caravan was delayed by the battle in Yumen, and whether any people fled east.

I answered them one by one, and I knew all kinds of situations well.

Yu Chengan asked while thinking: This county man is a down-to-earth worker.

When Ji Guang greeted him, Yu Chengan realized that the county man surnamed Yu was Zhu Fei's uncle?

He wanted to ask, but when he saw that Yu Fu was busy again, he didn't bother him again, just looked at it twice more and turned around to leave.

It was these two glances that Yu Chengan saw a person on Yu Fu's side, who had been facing away from them before.

The man looked young, dressed in cloth, with a book in his hand and was communicating with others, as if something was wrong, he took a few steps back, and was stopped again.

Ji Guang urged again: "Go back quickly." ”

Yu Chengan walked to Tian Xian Ling and asked him in a suppressed voice, "What is the origin of that young man?" ”

Tian County ordered: "It's called Zeng Cong, a native of Jing'an, half a month ago, the prefect knew that our county was not manpowered, so he ordered a group of people to come over, including him." ”

Yu Chengan frowned.

Ji Guang also sensed that Yu Cheng'an's reaction was not quite right at this moment, and asked, "What's wrong with that person?" ”

"Is there a problem," Yu Chengan walked directly towards Zeng Cong, "Just ask, you, go to a brighter place, I'll take a closer look." ”

Zeng Cong looked puzzled: "This adult? ”

Tian Xian Ling said: "You just let the little generals look carefully." ”

Zeng Cong answered, and walked to the table with a few steps to the oil lamp.

Yu Chengan followed and stepped forward, but he didn't look closer, but shot directly, holding Zeng Cong's shoulder with one palm and holding the person back on the table.

Bang.

The movement was a bit loud, and everyone was shocked.

Zeng Cong shouted again and again: "What is the little general doing?" ”

Tian Xian Ling was also taken aback: "This ......"

Yu Chengan smiled: "This father-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Zeng Cong stiffened.

"You must know me," Yu Chengan said word by word, "but you think I'm afraid I won't recognize you, too, it's been two years since you parted in the marshal's mansion, and you have carefully groomed your appearance, thinking that it is seamless."

It really looks good, Jingzhou has your wanted portrait, and the government and county government have not seen it.

But you may not know it, but you pure people just walk differently than those of us who are gentlemen. ”

Thank you for the reward from the book friends in the book city.
