"You brainless. Great Qi is about to die, are you willing to be a general of a dead country? If you can expand your forces, won't you be able to turn the tide?" Luo Xifeng originally came to call the two fathers and sons to dinner, but after listening outside the door for a while, he pushed the door open in a rage.

Speaking of which, Luo Xifeng is a little more generous than Du Changgeng. Du Changgeng is resolute and upright, but he is not tactful and brainless enough. But Du Changgeng has an advantage, that is, he listens to his wife very much. was scolded by Luo Xifeng like this, but he figured it out.

Madame's words are not unreasonable. Du Changgeng was scolded by Luo Xifeng, but nodded.

Du Xuan couldn't cry or laugh, he knew that the scolding would work, so he should have called his mother over. He can't scold, that's disobedience and unfilial piety.

"Xuan'er, do whatever you want, just let it go. That's all your father has had in his life. Heroes emerge from troubled times. The world is in chaos like this, don't hold back, there is a mother behind you to support you!" Luo Xifeng said.

Du Xuan smiled: "Father's concerns are not completely unreasonable. But now that Daqi is in turmoil, we Chiyangwei can't sit still. It is better to rely on God to open your eyes, than to rely on yourself to work hard. This time the brute dog came with 20,000 or 30,000 people, and we won by luck, and next time they came with 50,000 or 100,000, what will I win? If we lose, what will happen to the people of Chiyangwei?"

Luo Xifeng glared at her husband: "Did you hear Xuan'er's words?" When Xuan'er studied literature, you said that Xuan'er learned useless sour rot, but you yourself are pedantic. Daqi is in chaos, no one can take care of this border, you don't desperately protect the people of Chiyangwei, you are still afraid of this and that. It's not as sensible as my Xuan'er. ”

Du Changgeng sighed: "It's not that I'm ignorant. The state of the imperial court is unknown, if I had just come out of Chiyangwei and the imperial court army came to the aid of the border to quell the rebellion in Sichuan, wouldn't it be true that I had committed the crime of attempting rebellion?"

"Father, if there is really no problem with the imperial court, how can you not send a large army to quell the civil unrest after the chaos in Sichuan for so long? How long can you hold on?" Du Xuan said.

"Then in your opinion, how should we deal with it?" Du Changgeng asked.

"Take advantage of the situation, train the army, take the important town of Sichuan, and temporarily avoid the edge of the barbarians. When the time is ripe, immediately take the entire Sichuan Mansion in one fell swoop. If the barbarians wave their troops south, the Sichuan Mansion will directly cut off the barbarians' retreat. Cut off the barbarian entry channel. As long as the Golden Crow Barbarians are trapped in the Central Plains, and there is no one in Daqi, can the barbarians still be allowed to fly in the Central Plains?" Du Xuan said.

"But in this way, my Sichuan Mansion must be in a situation where the barbarians are attacked from both sides. Du Changgeng said worriedly.

"With the size of Sichuan Mansion, there are many important towns rich in grain, and the people are fierce, as long as the civil unrest is quelled, the wasteland is planted with grain. It is not a problem to train 100,000 elite soldiers. With 100,000 elite soldiers, will we still be afraid to fight against brute dogs?" Du Xuan said.

Du Changgeng was still a little worried: "The barbarians are just afraid that they won't easily let us develop so smoothly." ”

"Of course not. But it's not necessarily us who have the headache. As long as I am given a year, I will definitely be able to train an invincible dragon scale horse cavalry, and then we will not attack the barbarian dogs, and the barbarian dogs will burn incense and worship the Buddha. Du Xuan said.

"You still have a lot of dragon scale horses?" Du Changgeng asked.

Du Xuan didn't hide it, but he didn't tell it either: "Black Bear Fort will soon be able to train another two thousand dragon scale horse cavalry." It's just that these recruits have not seen blood, and their combat effectiveness is not enough. But let the veteran take it and harass the barbarian cavalry a few times, and the combat effectiveness will slowly increase. ”

"Good boy, you actually got so many dragon scale horses, if you had equipped my escort battalion with dragon scale horses earlier, how could this battle be so difficult?" Du Changgeng's eyes widened.

"You have the ability to tame the dragon scale horse by yourself, and you are embarrassed to grab everything in your son's hand. I think Xuan'er is right to have her own ideas. You look ahead and backwards, and you are timid and afraid. The dragon scale horse is also a waste in your hands. It's better to let Xuan'er train the dragon scale horse cavalry by herself. Xuan'er, don't pay attention to your father. I see that the dragon scale horse cavalry you have trained, although they are all new recruits, their combat power is no less than your father's guard battalion. Luo Xifeng said.

Du Changgeng sighed and shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not uncommon to you with dragon scale horses." However, you have so many dragon scale horses, and you don't have to make up your mind about the war horses captured this time. ”

Du Xuan nodded: "Okay, I have a lot of dragon scale horses in my hands now." When I brought these horses back, there was not enough forage to feed them. ”

When it comes to forage, Du Changgeng is also a little big: "Where do I get so much forage?"

Du Xuan smiled: "That's none of my business." Anyway, these tens of thousands of war horses are all yours. Father, I have one more thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Du Changgeng asked.

"The barbarian army deployed outside Chiyang Pass to contain the defenders of Chiyang Pass should not have time to withdraw yet. If the news is to be transmitted, it will have to go around from the Lingtaiwei, at least for a few more days. If our dragon scale horse cavalry battalion rushes over quickly, rendezvous with the defenders of Chiyang Pass, and takes the barbarian army by surprise, we should be able to capture the barbarian army in one fell swoop. The barbarian army is attacking, and the city of Mauihan will inevitably be empty, and after we have annihilated the barbarian army, we will capture the city of Mauihan in one fell swoop. Perhaps, Dad, the forage problem you are worried about will be completely solved. Du Xuan said with a smile.

Du Changgeng's eyes lit up: "The barbarian soldiers have committed my Daqi, and this Maoyihan City must be an important material transfer station." If we can take Mauihan City, we may be able to sweep away all the supplies that have accumulated here. It's just too dangerous to do that. It's not appropriate. ”

Du Changgeng is still very conservative, and it is difficult to accept Du Xuan's whimsical ideas for a while.

"What's wrong? The barbarians definitely didn't expect us to attack. If we pretend to be barbarians, maybe Mauihan City doesn't need to be attacked at all, and we can directly enter through the city gate. My cavalry battalion has exactly a few hundred barbarian cavalry. Barbarians are not monolithic. The Barbarian Domain is made up of many tribes, and only some of them are subject to the Golden Crow Barbarians. The tribe I recruited was called the Black Bear Tribe, and now it has a grudge against the Golden Crow Barbarians. It's definitely on our side. We can take advantage of this and recruit tribes that are hostile to the Golden Crow Barbarians. Du Xuan said.

"Huh? That's a good idea. Use barbarians against barbarians. Du Changgeng said.

"That's not the point. The point is, we have every way to get into Mauihan. Du Xuan said.
