Pseudo Zhou, Xiazhou.

The weather gradually became cold, and Wei Xiaokuan wrapped in thick clothes and led many officials and generals to wait at the intersection.

Several generals were a little helpless.

"Duke, you are the chief supervisor here. How can you come to greet these people on your own initiative?"

"We should welcome you and take them to see you."

Yuwen Yong finally decided to adopt the suggestions of Yang Su and Yuwen Xian and gathered out of the army to meet with Wei Xiaokuan.

Then launched an attack on the long line of defense of the thief.

At the same time, he wrote a letter to his father-in-law, Turkic Khan, hoping that his father-in-law could help hold Huluguang and not allow the army behind Liu Taozi to easily reach the near Lingzhou.

The forces on both sides are ready to move.

After Wei Xiaokuan learned the news, he did not show any joy. He was as calm as usual. When the army was about to arrive, he chose to come out to greet him in person.

This made the generals under his throne somewhat confused Yuwen Yong did not clearly express who would be the chief magistrate. The army that went to the expedition was mainly Duke of Shu.

However, the front-line army was dominated by Duke Yun, Wei Xiaokuan. The two men cooperated with each other, not with superiors and subordinates.

Whoever goes to meet who is actually a relatively important thing.

Should the army on the expedition help the front-line army recover lost territory? Or should the army on the front-line help the army on the expedition to achieve the purpose of the expedition?

Wei Xiaokuan's current number of troops in various places is about 30,000 to 40,000, but Yuwen Yong could not gather too many troops to go to war, and this time his troops were only more than 27,000.

The number of troops on the front line is significantly higher than that on the army that went on expedition, and the majority of the states and counties on the front line are also responsible for the food and grass logistics.

Wei Xiaokuan turned around and looked at the generals, knowing their thoughts.

He whispered: "In these days, we have fought with Gao Changgong many times, but we have not gained any advantage..... It is rare that reinforcements come. Do we still have to argue with them because of some unworthy things?"

"Our purpose is the same, we must defeat Gao Changgong and recover lost land."

"Since Liu Taozi occupied Yongfeng, we have gradually lost the natural dangers in the north. The enemy's bandits often plunder our levels and bullied our people, becoming increasingly rampant."

"Now Liu Taozi's main force is in Hanoi, and the domestic army cannot come easily. This is the best time for us to recover the lost land!"

"But you must not delay major events because of some unworthy reasons, otherwise we will be sinners of the ages:::"

Wei Xiaokuan said it sincerely.

When the generals heard the generals say this, there was nothing they could do, they just bowed their heads and said yes.

General Han Xiong walked forward and whispered: "Duke Yun, you don't have to worry."

"In order to attack Gao Changgong this time, His Majesty sent many dukes, and he was full of powerful generals! All the generals in China have come here. Can Gao Changgong beat even if he can beat so many people?"

Hearing Han Xiong's confident words, the sorrow in Wei Xiaokuan's eyes became even stronger.

He whispered, "This is what I'm worried about.

1

Han Xiong was stunned and couldn't quite understand Wei Xiaokuan's words.

They waited here for a long time, but they were unable to see the arrival of the army.

Everyone felt a little unhappy. Didn’t they send someone to say that Shen Shi will arrive on time today?

Is this intentional despising us?

Just as the generals couldn't help but start talking, the army in the distance finally slowly appeared.

This time, Yuwen Yong summoned three major military palaces, and at the same time opened a large arsenal to give priority to arming. This year, the Great Zhou Dynasty saved a lot of food. Yuwen Yong had previously attacked the great clan and copied a lot of good things.

Of course, there is no way for Yuwen Yong to summon an army of 100,000 to 100,000 troops, so he could only use three military palaces.

Yuwen Yong chose to take the elite route. He chose the three military offices with the highest quality of soldiers, fully armed, and then led by the top famous generals in the country to meet with Wei Xiaokuan.

The army of war gradually approached, and its morale and equipment were obviously much higher than the soldiers brought by Wei Xiaokuan.

Looking at these tall and powerful soldiers, the generals behind Wei Xiaokuan couldn't help but lower their voices and their faces became different.

Yuchi Jiong, Duke of Shu, rode a war horse and walked staggeringly at the front of the team.

When he saw the flags that welcomed the army in the distance, Yuchi Jiong's eyes were obviously a little shocked.

He turned over and got off the horse.

Yuchi Jiong is much taller than Wei Xiaokuan, with five big and three thick, and he does not see any old appearance at all.

"Duke of Yun!"

"Duke of Shu!"

He and Wei Xiaokuan paid homage to each other. Yuchi Jiong looked at the generals brought by Wei Xiaokuan, with a proud look on his face.

"How can you let Duke Yun come to greet him in person?"

Wei Xiaokuan shook his head, "I have been on the front line for many years and have never made any achievements. I finally hope that the army will help me. How can I not come forward to greet me?"

Wei Xiaokuan put his position very low and was quite humble.

Before Yuchi Jiong arrived, he had thought of many situations, including how to "conquer" Wei Xiaokuan, the front-line general manager, so that he could obey his orders. Seeing his obedient appearance, Yuchi Jiong took a reassurance and no longer set up a defense. He hurriedly grabbed Wei Xiaokuan's hand, "I came from afar, but I still don't know the situation of the enemy, and I still need the help of the Duke."

After the two of them had a few intimate conversations, Wei Xiaokuan asked the generals to come and pay their respects.

At this moment, the other dukes also slowly stepped forward.

Quan Jingxuan, Duke of Qianjin County, Yuwen Xian, Duke of Qi, Dou Chi, Duke of Deng, Yuwen Zhao,...there are many other generals, and the chariots and cavalry generals.

Wei Xiaokuan met them one by one.

Then, they went to the city closest to here to rest and discuss the major events of the war.

The army was temporarily stationed outside, and the generals set up a simple banquet in the official office.

There were too many generals at the banquet, and it was difficult to accommodate all of them in a house.

Everyone was very interested and talked about the great things of making achievements.

Wei Xiaokuan asked Duke Yuchi of Shu to sit in the upper position to show his respect for him.

Yuchi Jiong is not polite either.

After everyone met and became familiar with each other, Yuchi Jiong cleared his throat and talked about his marching deployment.

"At present, we are attacking with a large army. Gao Changgong has a long front line and few army, but we have many generals. We can deploy the army on many lines of defense of the enemy and then attack together...: The army under Gao Changgong does not exceed two people and is attacked from multiple sides. He must be unable to counterattack. Even if he wants to counterattack, he cannot attack from multiple sides at the same time. As long as he can tear apart one line of defense, he can disrupt his deployment...:

,!

"What the Duke of Shu is right."

Quan Jingxuan spoke, and Quan Jingxuan received a lot of rewards for his previous contributions to Yuzhou.

He served as the governor of the Nineteen Prefectures and the chief general of Jingzhou. He was originally in the south, but because the temple had recently restored its relationship with Chen State, Quan Jingxuan happened to come to Chang'an to report the front line again, so Yuwen Yong simply arrested the general and asked him to go to war with him.

Quan Jingxuan first affirmed Yuchi Jiong's strategy, and then said, "However, I think that Gao Changgong is good at attacking, good at raiding, separates the army and lists it in various places, which will easily make Gao Changgong defeat one by one, but instead loses the meaning of gathering large troops. I think that all the troops should be concentrated and advance from the front line.

Don't give Gao Changgong any chance...

Veteran Dou Chi laughed, "All the way?"

"What you said is easy. We sent troops this time because Liu Taozi's army was dispersed and we had a good opportunity. If we follow your strategy, it would take half a year or even more time to attack Gao Changgong's capital, and we have made a huge effort. How long can the Turks entangle Huluguang? They had no time to stab Huluguang before. When our army attacked and advanced all the way, Huluguang suddenly came in. What should we do?"

"Wouldn't you lose the original results and do useless achievements?"

Yuwen Xian interrupted again and said, "I still think that there should be multiple ways...

For a moment, the room was particularly noisy.

Only Wei Xiaokuan, who had been silent all the time, sat next to him without saying a word.

General Han Xiong looked at the tense appearance of the banquet. For a moment, he understood what Duke Yun said just now.

Yuchi Jiong's face was pitch black.

He is the leader!!

He was not discussing with everyone how to send troops, but reading his orders!

Yuchi Jiong said unhappily: "This is the general. If you have any different ideas, you can write to Your Majesty and ask the Lord General to take the position!"

Quan Jingxuan was a little unhappy.

Originally, when Yuwen Hu went out to fight against Qi, all the generals were defeated, only Quan Jingxuan escaped.

He won a lot of money, so he was rewarded. Later, Yuwen Yong also rewarded him, and even intended to hand over the entire southern defense line to him for management.

He is the leader in the south and is used to being the leader. Even though the other party has a higher official position than him, he doesn't think the other party must be better than him.

He immediately retorted: "Duke, the army is gathering now, with the purpose of defeating Gao Changgong. Your Majesty summoned so many generals to come. Is it just to listen to your order? Isn't it to let us discuss and jointly study the strategy to deal with the enemy?"

Yuchi Jiong was furious, "General Quan doesn't know much about military affairs. Don't he know the daily system of one army and one order?"

"When I marched, I found something wrong. You violated my edict and went in another direction, delaying your time.:

?

"Haha, when I was attacking Heluo, the general's military order alone ruined a lot of troops!
