Chapter 089: It's all tangled

Under normal circumstances, there are only ten standard battalions. Now, four of them have been disabled in one day's work, which has put great pressure on the top brass of the border army.

Although, during this time, the town barbarian army has been expanding, but those men and horses transferred from various cities have only been reorganized, which is almost equivalent to the size of six standard battalions.

Now, on the first day, there were four left. So, what happens at the end of the next day? What about the third day? If this really continues, after three days, the entire border army will almost be crippled.

Rather than that, it is better to open the gate first, put the barbarians in, and then close the door and beat the dogs to clean them up.

In fact, there are not many people who are qualified to discuss this important matter, Li Lingwei, the general of the Zhenman Army, is counted as one, and there are also Shi Jin Changlong, the commander of Zhenmanguan, Guo Zongyu, the soldier and horse envoy of Zhenmanguan, and Ma Xinrui, the Taishou of Yumen County. The rest, and the other two are the two titled generals of the Zhenman Army, namely Zhenxi General Luda and Pingxi General Zheng Lun.

Among these people, Li Lingwei is a general, and his position is the highest. However, such a matter is too much to do, and he will never dare to make a decision alone. Because once the barbarians are released, it means that Yumen County will be damaged by the barbarians, and even if the scope of destruction can be controlled within a certain range, Yumen County will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Among the six people, Yumen County Taishou Ma Xinrui's official position is the lowest, and the official position of the county Taishou is a civil official sequence, ranking from the third grade, of course, there are also three grades. A town guard envoy and a soldier and horse envoy are all members of the three products. The two titled generals have a third-grade official position, while Li Lingwei, a great general, is a second-rank official. However, the official positions of the three of them are all military generals.

Six people, three representing the border army, and three representing the local and imperial courts.

The proposal was originally put forward by the two titled generals, because they were presupposedly and conceived from a military point of view, judging from the current situation, it may be difficult to stick to the end, once the barbarian army is exhausted, then the entire western Xinjiang will be finished.

Moreover, they already know the situation of Suoman Pass and Yumen Pass. In this case, even if they hold on, once the barbarians who come in from there come in for reinforcements, the barbarian pass will not escape the fate of being attacked from inside and outside. In this case, it is better to turn the passive into the active and put the initiative in your own hands.

However, as the supreme governor of the place, especially Jin Changlong, the town guard, and Ma Xinrui, the Taishou of Yumen County, they are very reluctant to adopt such a strategy, once the barbarians come in, Yumen County, and even more Western Xinjiang regions will be devastated, and at that time, this responsibility will be counted on their heads first.

However, Yumen County did not fight too much because the Suoman Pass and the Yumen Pass had been broken, and four of the fifteen counties under the jurisdiction of Yumen County had been seriously harmed.

According to the information obtained so far, except for the core cities of the four counties that have not yet been breached, the vast areas of these four counties have become a paradise for barbarians to plunder.

Of course, things over there will naturally have a headache for the general of the lock barbarian army and the general of the Yumen army. Because they were directly broken by others, the responsibility mainly falls on their heads.

At this time, the two great generals were each leading their own men and horses, trying to control the range of barbarian plunder to a limited area as much as possible, and prevent them from running to other areas to cause harm.

The attitude of Guo Zongyu, the envoy of soldiers and horses, is not very obvious, because as an envoy of soldiers and horses, he is still relatively familiar with military aspects. He was naturally able to understand the intentions of the two titled generals' proposals, but he could also understand the thoughts of Jin Changlong and Ma Xinrui.

In fact, during this period of time, the soldier and horse envoy Guo has also racked his brains, because he is in charge of those city troop transfers, which is within the scope of the military envoy's authority.

The border army issued a conscription order, in fact, it was also approved by the soldiers and horses, and the conscription order had the big seal of the soldiers and horses.

Do you put it in actively, or do you put it in passively?

For a while, several people present were also entangled.

Just when the main characters of Zhenman were entangled, there were two other places where a group of people were anxious.

One is Chishui City in Yumen County. The eldest prince Fusu not only did not get any useful information about the Nine Princesses, but instead received the bad news that the Suoman Pass and the Yumen Pass had been broken.

The location of Chishui City is actually not too far from Yumen Pass, especially the area where the barbarians are persecuted at present, and Chishui County, where Chishui City is located, is just close to it.

In other words, Chishui County is likely, and easily, the next target of the barbarians' plunder.

There is no news from the ninth sister, and the barbarians are about to come again. For a while, the eldest prince of Fusu was also entangled, whether to stay in Chishui City and continue to wait for news from the ninth princess, or evacuate to other places to avoid the barbarians.

At this time, the opinions of Fusu's subordinates were also divided into two factions, one faction naturally persuaded Fusu to stay, which was the main battle faction. One faction persuaded Fusu to leave Chishui City quickly, and the so-called gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall.

The characters of the two factions express their own opinions and argue happily, and neither of them convinces anyone? At this time, of course, each has its own reason. insisted on staying, on the one hand, because the ninth princess had not yet been found, and on the other hand, they felt that Fusu, as the eldest prince, should take advantage of this crisis and establish their own image.

Obviously, if at this time, Fusu can stand up and call on the military and people of Xinjiang to fight against the barbarians together, and can achieve victory, Fusu's prestige will be unprecedentedly high.

For a long time, what the eldest prince of Fusu lacked the most was military merit, his character, his gentleness, and his tolerance and generosity, which really impressed many people. But without military merit, it has become his weakness, because in Daqin, military merit is very important.

On the one hand, it is military merit, and on the other hand, it is the life of one's own family.

Do you want to go, or do you want to stay?

For a time, the eldest prince Fusu was also entangled. Either way, it carries a lot of risk. To stay is to put your life at risk. Go, it is likely that the loss will be the right to inherit the throne. Great Qin will never hand over the throne to a Nov who escaped from the battle. Escaping from the battlefield is definitely more terrible than having no military merits, and it will be spurned.

"Zhong Aiqing, reinforcements from the western Xinjiang must be sent. The widow has ordered the transfer of an army totaling 400,000 men, which will be assembled at Hangu Pass in three days. Today, the task of the Zhongqing family is to determine the boss to the widow! ”

Xianyang, the palace of the Great Qin King, on the high seat of the main hall, the King of Great Qin, Qin Zheng, said very majestically to a cadre of courtiers.

The war in Western Xinjiang has been reported to Xianyang. This time, the scale of the barbarian knock was unprecedented, and it would definitely not be able to withstand it by relying only on the three border armies in the western frontier. Therefore, while the royal family ordered the mobilization of the forces of the surrounding counties for support, the central side also mobilized 400,000 troops in one go.

It's just that the coach of these 400,000 people has not yet been confirmed.
