Dong Guo asked the knife to come back and sit down after being beaten, and the thirty military sticks were insignificant for a warrior like him. Luo Tianchu circulated Sticky Han's letter to everyone, and after reading it all, Gu Yao said: "Sticky Han is a general who has not been met in a century, and this time we have a strong enemy." Dong Guo asked Daodao: "I'm afraid of where he came from, didn't he have been repelled by us in the first few sneak attacks, I think it's just a false appearance." ”

Luo Tianchuqi said: "Did Sticky Han sneak attack us?" Yan Weifeng said: "Yes, on the second day after the pontoon bridge was paved, there were no stars and no moon that day, and the night fog was filled, he sent two thousand people to crawl over from the pontoon bridge in black clothes, but fortunately, the hall master Lu had already taken precautions so that he returned in vain, and hundreds of people were broken." There have been several more sneak attacks like this. No matter how great his ability is, he is afraid that he will be helpless in the face of the danger of Tongguan. Luo Tianchu thought about it and said: "Plan and then act, Sticky Han will not understand." He would never send hundreds of people to their deaths for no reason. He's in the next game of chess, and every move has its usefulness, it's just that we don't understand it. Du Kill said: "Hall Master Lu also thinks so, but his subordinates think that Sticky Han may not have the god as the legend. Luo Tianchu shook his head and disagreed.

Lu Fei took the sticky letter and read it three times, and returned it to Luo Tianchu. Luo Tianchu asked: "What does the master think?" Lu Fei said: "It is not difficult to see from the letter that Mu Han is under a lot of pressure. Luo Tianchu smiled: "Not bad." He did not hesitate to set up a military order to ask for the support of the Emperor of Jin, this battle was a great opportunity for him to turn over, no matter how much Wan Yanchang and Wushu suppressed him politically, as long as he won this battle, he could turn defeat into victory and regain power. Lu Fei said: "Sticky Han knows very well that the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom cares more about the survival of the soldiers than about victory or defeat, and the Jin Kingdom has lost too many soldiers and horses over the years, and it can no longer afford more losses. Soldiers and horses are the foundation of the country, and Guanzhong is the icing on the cake, so Mu Han said in the letter, 'Even if you don't win, you won't be defeated' to comfort the emperor. Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "The Jin Kingdom is already at the end of the strong crossbow, as long as we win this battle, it will be the time for us to compete in the Central Plains." The crowd applauded in unison.

Luo Tianchu tiled the map on the case and said: "Sticky Han followed Jin Taizu to fight in the south and the north, and destroyed Liao and attacked the Song Dynasty, all of whom were the first heroes, I don't believe that such a person would be in vain." The people listened silently as he continued. Luo Tianchu pointed to Tongguan on the map and said: "I want to ask you, if you are sticky, how will you attack Tongguan?"

Luo Tianchu saw that everyone didn't speak, and continued: "Actually, it is us who has the advantage now, as long as we can't hold on, we are already invincible, and it is much more difficult for us to sticky than us." Everyone nodded frequently. Luo Tianchu said: "Everyone, please think about it, the raft spread on the river seems to be overwhelming, and the ambition is bound to win, but in fact, what is the effect? Not to mention that it is just a raft, even if it is a flat avenue, 100,000 people want to storm Tongguan, and they do not have a slight advantage. Emperor Jin's request to Mu Han was to win the victory at the lowest cost, and he would not be allowed to lose too many soldiers and horses, even if he won a crushing victory. Lu Fei said: "Then why did he spread so many rafts with great fanfare?" Luo Tianchu said: "I don't understand it either." If we don't understand Sticky's intentions, we won't be able to sleep well. Lu Fei said: "I have set up a guard around Tongguan, and it is impossible for Sticky Han to play tricks under our noses." ”

Luo Tianchu said: "That's the best, how about our grain and grass supply." Lu Fei said: "Last year, the wind and rain in Guanzhong were smooth, it was a bumper harvest year, and the granaries of Chang'an, Xianyang, Baoji, and Fengxiang were all full of grain and grass, and there was no shortage of supply. Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "Then I'll rest assured, we have 30,000 mouths, and there are 100,000 on the other side of the river, see who can outweigh whom." Lu Fei said: "The castle master has been tired all the way, please rest early, and the military will discuss it tomorrow." Luo Tianchu said: "It's okay, you have also worked hard." Then they took their leave.

Luo Tianchu ate a cup of tea, did not feel sleepy, and looked at the map around Tongguan alone under the candlelight. He was already familiar with the terrain above, and now he was observing and thinking about it everywhere, thinking about what kind of tactics he would adopt if he attacked Tongguan by himself, and finally came to the conclusion that there was no way. If more than half of the 100,000 people are lost, there is no chance at all. Just when he was worried, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Gu Yao and Yan Weifeng who had gone and returned. Luo Tianchu smiled: "I can't sleep, the two of you came at the right time." Gu Yao said with a smile: "We know that the castle master will not sleep, so we will bother a few words." ”

Luo Tianchu let them into the house and sighed: "The matter of Tongguan has made the master work too much, and today I saw him with flowers on his temples, and I felt very uncomfortable." Now that I have returned, it is time for me to take up this burden and let the master rest. Gu Yao sighed: "Yes, Hall Master Lu is really conscientious. Luo Tianchu said: "Back then, the master was the leader of the **** just for revenge. In fact, he, like Xiao Zhu, likes to be free, and those years in Zulong Mountain were the happiest time for the master, and now he rarely hears his hearty laughter. Gu Yao said: "But it is the master of the Lu hall who can sit in Tongguan, but we are still hanging like before, chanting poems in Chang'an every day, and comparing with the master of the Lu hall is really embarrassing." Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "Brother Gu is a romantic character like Li Taibai, and his personality dictates it, can he blame you?" Gu Yao smiled bitterly: "Everyone knows this hobby between me and Wei Feng, so he didn't assign us any important errands." Tongguan has the lord of Lutang, Chang'an has Gongsun Junshi and Cui Xing, and other cities also have Taishou like Deng Yinlin, we are too idle, so we have nothing to do, and there are expectations of the castle lord. At this point, the two of them stood up and saluted at the same time, their faces quite ashamed.

Luo Tianchu hurriedly invited them to sit down, and said: "Since the Tiehan Rebellion, the lord of my fort, the lord of Jiangtang, and the lord of Lu Zhai have unfortunately passed away, and the lord of the fort and the lord of Jia Zhai are nowhere to be found, and the two are already one of the few pillars of my fort, and they are also my most trusted brothers. I believe that if you are allowed to sit in Tongguan, you will do your best, and you will not be inferior to the Lu Hall Master. Because the responsibility is on the shoulders. I and the military advisor know the two preferences, and I also hope that you will make a few more good articles and write a few more good words, so that outsiders can understand that our fort is not only a good man who fights and kills, but also a talent who dances and writes, which is also a symbol of strength and represents the face of my fort. ”

Gu Yao and Yan Weifeng's eyes lit up, and they said excitedly: "That means we still have contributions?" Luo Tianchu smiled: "The contribution is still very great." The owner of Liu Zhuang said that Wei Feng's words and Gu Brother's words have become famous all over the world, Wei Feng's calligraphy has been copied by many scribes, and Gu Yao's words are already the most played and sung repertoire in the Qinglou, isn't this a great achievement?" Gu Yao and Yan Wei Feng were greatly moved, and said: "Thank you for the praise of the castle lord, we will make persistent efforts to add glory to our castle." ”

Luo Tianchu nodded happily, and suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, why didn't Gongsun Junshi come, the military advisor knows Tao's strategy well, and maybe he can gain insight into Sticky Han's intentions." Gu Yao and Yan Weifeng looked embarrassed and didn't say anything. Luo Tianchu said: "What's wrong with the military advisor, is something wrong?" Yan Weifeng sighed: "The military advisor specially instructed us not to tell you, for fear that you would be distracted by the enemy." Luo Tianchu said anxiously: "The military advisor is my mentor, tell me what happened." Gu Yao and Yan Weifeng glanced at each other, and Yan Weifeng said: "The military master has been sick since last month and is bedridden. I have seen several doctors, but there is no improvement. Luo Tianchu was surprised and said: "What kind of disease does the military advisor have?" Yan Weifeng said gloomily: "The military advisor has worked hard for many years, and he is exhausted, and he is tired. (To be continued.) )
