When he arrived at Tuxia City, where the state government was located, Li Xun was quite surprised to see Liu Zhigu.

Liu Zhigu holds the position of Prime Minister and is in charge of the local area. This is such a noble position. Now that the war has broken out, a figure like him should be in Liangzhou or Suzhou, in the rear, but now he is on the front line of the war.

.

Zhao Feidu is very helpless now. He is the governor of Langzhou and the deputy envoy of Longyou North Road. The state is his military territory, so he should be the chief military officer. Now, Xu Chengliang is here, and Liu Zhigu is also here.

These two people are far above him in terms of official position, qualifications and prestige. Zhao Feidu, the protagonist, has now become a supporting role.

Moreover, Tubo raided Shanzhou and almost broke through the city. After repelling the enemy, Yu Heng, the general who defended the city, sent people to ask for help. Liu Zhigu immediately ordered Zhao Feidu to lead 5,000 soldiers to Shanzhou to join forces with Yu Heng.

, guard Shanzhou.

And just yesterday, the latest news came that Gewa had once again gathered 100,000 troops, bringing with him a large amount of supplies and siege equipment, and was approaching the Broken Dragon Castle.

Li Xun looked at the map on the table and fell into deep thought.

After staring for a long time, Li Xun raised his head and said to Liu Zhigu: "Master Xiangguo, Tubo's intention is very obvious. It is to besiege the state and trap our main force here, and then use its huge military advantage to attack Langzhou and Shan.

Once Shanzhou and Langzhou are captured, the entire seven states of Longyou West Road may be in danger."

Xu Chengliang said from the side: "The strange thing is that the Tubo army that besieged the state was stationed twenty miles away and did not advance too far. Isn't he afraid of us adjusting our military deployment?"

Li Xun glanced at him and said nothing.

Li Xun knew Xu Chengliang somewhat, because Sima Zhong was very familiar with this person, and the two were old acquaintances.

Xu Chengliang was born in the military, but his martial arts skills can only be regarded as very average. At first, he was Liu Jie's subordinate, then became Sima Zhong's deputy, then Gan Qian's deputy, and finally became the commander of Longyou South Road.

Jiedushi, nearly sixty years old, finally reached the rank of official in charge of a feudal territory.

But it is a pity that his sweet dream did not last for a few days, because Wang Renzhi was appointed as the chief official of the Governor's Mansion of Longyou Road, and was given the gift of being honest and doing things expediently.

Although Xu Chengliang and Wang Renzhi have nothing to do with each other in martial arts and literature, Wang Renzhi is regarded as the prime minister after all. No matter in terms of qualifications or prestige, Xu Chengliang cannot compare. Even the comparison of family reputation is comparable to that of Xu Chengliang.

However, Wang Renzhi, as the chief official of the Governor's Office of Longyou Dao, although Wang Renzhi does not have the right to dispatch troops, he has the right to supervise, and the military supplies and logistics supply of the entire Longyou Dao are all in Wang Renzhi's hands.

Suzhou's 15,000 troops often choose the former between Wang Renzhi and Xu Chengliang's orders. Therefore, although Xu Chengliang is the governor of Longyou South Road, the actual military power in his hands is only 5,000.

Many people, and even these more than 5,000 people, have more awe and respect for Wang Renzhi than Xu Chengliang.

Therefore, when Xu Chengliang took office as the governor of Longyounan Province, he was in a very depressed mood. More than a month after he took office, he became depressed and became ill. Then he fell ill and could not be cured after a long period of treatment, so he had to return to Fengjing to recuperate.

It was more than two years until three months ago that his condition was almost recovered. At the urging of Zhao Zhi, he had no choice but to return to Longyou. Who knew that within a few days of happiness, Tubo came and the war broke out again. Xu Chengliang

I yelled in my heart, why is my life so bad?

Xu Chengliang's ability was very mediocre. The reason why Zhao Zhi reused him was very simple. Although Zhao Zhi reused Wang Renzhi, in terms of trust, he trusted Xu Chengliang more, so he appointed Wang Renzhi as the governor of Longyou Road.

At the same time as the chief official, Xu Chengliang was appointed as the governor of Longyou South Road, just to keep the two in check and guard against each other. This was Zhao Zhi's consistent method.

After Xu Chengliang said this, Gu Yong on the side also glanced at him, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, and then said: "Tubo besieged and refused to attack, staying twenty miles away from the city, just hoping that we could escape from the city.

Come out, once we leave the city and have no place to defend, they will definitely choose to attack immediately. The Tibetans have the advantage in numbers. Once a war breaks out in the wild, we are more likely to be defeated."

Zhao Feidu nodded and agreed with Gu Yong: "General Gu is right, we cannot act rashly."

Xu Chengliang's original mission was to garrison Minzhou and supply logistics and military supplies to the state, Langzhou and other places. However, after Liu Zhigu arrived, he felt that the number of state defenders was too small to resist the Tibetan army of 100,000, so he sent a letter

Wang Renzhi asked for support and set an example. He mobilized 10,000 troops from Liangzhou and came to the state to take charge. Wang Renzhi thought about Liu Zhigu's request again and again, and finally agreed to let Xu Chengliang lead 10,000 troops to support the state. Of course, this

The court has made a decision, but the specific implementation still has to be completed by Liu Zhigu, Wang Renzhi and others.

Li Xun looked at Gu Yong and asked, "General Gu, what are your plans?"

Among these people, Xu Chengliang has average ability. Zhao Feidu, whom Li Xun also dealt with, is even worse. Liu Zhigu is a civil servant and is probably not very good at military matters. Only Gu Yong has good ability.

.

Gu Yong cupped his hands in front of Liu Zhigu and said, "I'd better ask Mr. Xiangguo to talk about it."

Li Xun looked at Liu Zhigu, who smiled and said: "The situation is actually in our hands. Qin Anming sent Mo Meng as an envoy, and the results were very good. He had sent news two days ago, calling for

He Bari has promised that no matter what happens in Longyou, Momeng will never take any action, and sent an envoy to return to Fengjing with Qin Anming, and the Liao Kingdom and the Jin Dynasty signed a friendship alliance."

Gu Yong answered at this time and said: "Ma Wu, the envoy of Anbei Festival, is gathering soldiers and is preparing to come to support."

"In this case, why are you in such a hurry to let me lead the army? As long as the state is not lost, even if Shanzhou is captured, will the Tubo army dare to penetrate deeply?"

Li Xun nodded. If this is the case, the situation is indeed of great benefit to the Jin Dynasty. What should Liu Zhigu and others have to worry about?

Liu Zhigu shook his head and sighed: "Qin Anming and the Momeng envoy have just entered Huizhou and will need two or three days to return to Fengjing. Before the alliance is signed, Ma Wu will never dare to lead the army to leave Anbei easily.

, it will take at least half a month to pass the news back and forth. Now, the state garrison is 30,000, and I am going to order Zhao Feidu to lead 5,000 people to support Shanzhou. In this way, there will only be 25,000 people left, and Langzhou has 1

Ten thousand, seven thousand in Shanzhou, Tubo is now approaching with a hundred thousand troops, and there are another hundred thousand troops behind it, which will arrive soon, adding up to two hundred thousand troops, five times as many as us, the situation is not good, we need time.

"

After saying these words, Liu Zhigu said to Li Xun in a deep voice: "Longyou's overall situation is your responsibility."

Li Xun nodded silently: "Don't worry, Xiangguo Liu, I will return to Wuzhou immediately and gather troops. Within five days, I will definitely lead the army."
Chapter completed!
