Chapter 145 Three ways

"Uncle Zhong knows my temperament! Once you come back, you must go back to the study first. Ji Taixu sat on the big red sandalwood chair and said to Ji Zhong with a smile.

"Ha ha!" Ji Zhong smiled and sat on a round bench, with more folds on his face than usual.

"What's the news about Yukyo in the days I've been walking!" Ji Taixu asked.

"The young master's walk is more than April and May." Ji Zhong smiled and said, "It really worries the old slave. After the young master left, there were really some changes in the capital. First, His Majesty withdrew the position of Zuo Yuangong, the leader of the Imperial City, and asked Fangdu to act as a temporary agent. In the name of improper guards, he cut off the nine admirals and the governors of Yujing Prefecture. Later, Lu Huazhong, Yin Zhikai, Wan Feishuang and Liu Siyi, who were captured, were interrogated. Only then did they know that these people were all invited by Duo Benbayan, the national master. The emperor was furious and ordered Zhong Hao and more than a dozen other generals to prepare for the war. On the fourth day of May, the king of Tianzhu personally led 300,000 troops, and General Zhong Hao personally led 100,000 troops to resist and could not escape. Later, Zhong Hao mobilized the generals of Tianbao, Feng Sheng, Gaolu and Wang Lian in Xuanzhou to encircle and escape from the Wolf Mountain. Who knew that because Tianbao Feng Sheng's unfavorable battle, he not only did not encircle and escape, but he was also defeated at the foot of Langshan. The soldiers were killed and injured by hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and Tian Bao died in the middle of the arrow. Dawei lost, so General Zhong Hao has ordered the whole line to shrink and retreat to the front line of Langcheng and Leshiguan in Xuanzhou, holding each other until now. Three days ago, the Khan suddenly appeared to be the commander-in-chief of nine famous kings.

"Who are they?" Ji Taixu frowned.

Ji Zhong said: "Tutuo, the king of Tianzhu, Xue Yantuo, the king of Zuo Xian, Ashinasher, the king of Zuo Gu Li, the king of Zuo Gu Li, Zhu, De Xue Chan, the evil king of Hun, Hu Jie, Qianqu Wang Xiankun, and Altar, the king of Tu Lu."

"Ha ha!" Ji Taixu smiled dryly and said, "Jiqi has gone out! It seems that he has made up his mind.

"This is the only news that the old slave learned!" Ji Zhong said, "If the young master wants to find out more information, he will know it when he goes to the military headquarters tomorrow."

Ji Taixu frowned. At this time, Ji Zhong said again, "The young master happened to be in the military department. It should be a near-water platform. This is an opportunity!"

Ji Taixu nodded: "Uncle Zhong, I know what you want to say, and I will try to be able to join the army in the north. With Lord Zhang Xuan and Lord Li Yingxu, it is very likely that I will come to the north to join the army. Uncle Zhong can rest assured that if I join the army, I will definitely kill Duo Ben Bayan with my own hands.

"Then the old slave won't disturb the young master. The young master came back with difficulty and rested early. Ji Zhong stood up and bowed to Ji Taixu.

After Ji Zhong left, Ji Taixu stretched out his hand and opened a map, which was densely marked with many things and many lines that had been changed back and forth.

The next day, at Mao, Ji Taixu rode his dragon scale horse to the gate of the military headquarters. The guard guard of the door saw that it was Ji Taixu and was surprised: "Marquis Ji is back!" Those bodyguards hurried over and led Ji Taixu's dragon scale horse: "We heard that on the day Yujing went to the water, Lord Ji was taken away by the demon. Hey hey, Lord Ji is really a noble man!"

Ji Taixu smiled and said, "Who is on duty in the Ministry of War now?"

A bodyguard carefully looked into the gate: "Marquis, you don't know that the back of this Shangshu, Lord Baili, is really thunderous. In addition to scolding, I still scold every day. If one is not, it is a blame. At this time, the servant, Langzhong and the chief of the Ministry of War are all here. The Lord Baili didn't say let him go back, and he didn't dare to leave! The war in the north has not been good these days, and the Lord Baili is not in a good mood. Our soldiers have not returned home for three days.

Ji Taixu sighed and said, "Let me go in and have a look!"

Ji Taixu quietly walked into the gate of the Ministry of War and came to the outside of the White Tiger Hall. He saw the doors and windows of the White Tiger Hall close, and there were roars from time to time. Ji Taixu stood in front of the door of Baihu Hall and coughed gently.

"Who!" Ji Taixu only heard Bailiwei's roar. Even if Ji Taixu had some preparations, he was slightly shocked by the abrupt roar.

"The lower official Ji is too empty!"

With a bang, the door of the White Tiger Hall was opened vigorously. Baili Weiyang was standing there facing Ji Taixu, with a large table in front of him, a map on the table, surrounded by a group of soldiers's servants and Langzhong.

"Come in!" Baili Weiyang drank it.

Ji Taixu bowed gently. When everyone in the White Tiger Hall saw Ji Taixu coming back, they were relieved and thought to himself, "Finally, I can interrupt Baili Weiyang. It's really time for Ji Taixu to come back. I can get a few fewer scolds."

Ji Taixu came to the table and looked at this huge map of Jinyan. Baili Weiyang pointed to the map urn and said angrily, "Now Jinyu Maodun has led nine famous kings, and a total of 800,000 troops have crossed the Wolf Mountain. The soldiers have personally led 400,000 to surround Le Shiguan in three routes. Xue Yantuo, the king of Zuo Xian, led 250,000 yuan to attack Wolf City two days ago, and one route led 150,000 yuan to Youzhou two days ago. Some time ago, our army lost its battle and lost nearly 200,000 troops. Now Zhong Hao retreats to the Wolf City. His eldest son Zhong Mingshuai defends 200,000 people to defend Leshiguan. Yumenguan is the second son Zhong Polu and led 300,000 troops to guard it. Youzhou is Gao Kai, the general manager of the Zuowei march, who supported 400,000 troops to guard it. Tell me what we should do now!"

Ji Taixu squinted and looked at the map. There was a dead silence in the White Tiger Hall. Everyone was looking at Ji Taixu. Baili Weiyang's eyes flashed and no one knew what he was thinking! Other officials prayed in their hearts: "Don't be told anything you don't like to hear. If you make him angry again, so many of us won't want to live!"

Long Ji Taixu finally pointed to the map and said, "Le Shiguan is located in a dangerous place, which is the throat of Xuanzhou. However, Le Shiguan is nearly a thousand miles away from Langcheng. It is surrounded by either a desert or a grassland. The 400,000 troops of Shanyu personally besieged Leshiguan. I don't know how long the grain and munema in Leshiguan can support the grain of Langcheng. Can the grass be transported to Leshiguan!"

"The grain and fodder in Leshiguan are enough to support more than a year, and the grain and fodder in Langcheng can't be transported to Leshiguan!" Jiang Yu, the left servant of the military department, said.

Ji Taixu nodded: "Is there any problem with the grain and fodder in Wolf City?"

"The food and fodder in the Wolf City can also be supported for a year. Now it can be transported from Yumen, but I don't know what would happen if Xue Yantuo, the king of Zuo Xian, surrounded the Wolf City? Youzhou is located in a fortress, connected to the Great Wall, and there is no problem with grain and fodder. Jiang Yu said.

"Xue Yantuo, the king of Zuo Xian, is the younger brother of Mao Dun." Ji Taixu frowned and said, "In the world, his prestige is extremely high, and his achievements are outstanding. This direct attack on Wolf City seems to be a must for Xuanzhou. As for the escape, hehe, I've also heard of this person, Wang Baobao! He once sneaked into the Langya Wang family as a minion, stole into the Wang family's library, and secretly learned various military books treasured by the Wang family. Although he is 16 years old this year, hehe, he has been on the battlefield for four years and has become the king! Proficient in various military tactics, extremely good at using troops, often winning more with less, unexpected, very powerful, and not to be underestimated. Many generals of the Great Wei who have guarded the border for many years are very afraid of this person. This time, he led 150,000 troops to Youzhou. In my opinion, he didn't care about it. It's just a suspected soldier.

"Oh?" Baili Weiyang raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"

Ji Taixu pointed to the map and said, "Your Excellency, please look, Wang Baobao set out from Langshan to Youzhou, which is nearly 4,000 miles away. Even if Wang Baobao's direct dragon army can travel thousands of miles a day, it will take four or five days to reach Youzhou. As the saying goes, you can't wear the end of the crossbow, and Youzhou is connected to the Great Wall. It is the important town of our great Wei and guarding the Youyun Road. Even if we don't guard it, it will take more than ten days for him to be beaten by Wang Baobao to close the gate. The Wolf City is only more than a thousand miles away from the Wolf Mountain, and it is only two days from the Wolf Mountain. Now it has been two days. According to all the communications of our Great Wei, it is just a few columns of incense to send books from the flying sword of the Wolf City. If Jin really wants to take down Youzhou and then detour from Youzhou, whether it is to attack Yumen Pass or Wolf City, he can't catch up. If he wants to occupy the vicinity of Youzhou and occupy the whole Youyun Road, his troops are not enough. If you want to fight Yujing from Youzhou, it is impossible. On the other hand, according to the cavalry, if he rushed with all his strength, Xue Yantuo, the king of Zuo Xian, should have arrived in the Wolf City last evening, but he has not arrived now, which only shows that he is repairing the army. If you want to attack Wolf City, Wolf City has been established for less than 20 years, and it is on the grassland and there is no danger to defend. And the generals of our Great Wei are extremely wary of Wang Baobao, so using Wang Baobao as a suspect can contain the front-line army from Leshiguan to Anbei to Youzhou. In this way, Xue Yantuo can surround the Wolf City in one fell swoop, so that he can take the Wolf City in one fell swoop without worries.

"There is also some truth in saying it." Baili Weiyang said, "But it just explains the current situation. How to solve it?"

Ji Taixu frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "When the army came, it was a great victory again. The front is strong. Our army has no choice but to stick to it. In my opinion, it is autumn now, and there is a lot of rain. Wei Chengqing, the commander of Shazhou, can be ordered to build a dam in the upper reaches of the Genhe River. Seven days later, the sluice will be released, and the military camp will be stationed at the foot of Langshan Mountain, just to flood him.

"It's just that there are also capable people in the army, which may not be able to deal heavy damage." Baili Weiyang said.

"This is natural!" Ji Tai said falsely, "But the water attack is just to frustrate its spirit. I expect 800,000 troops, how much is the daily grain and fodder? The grain and grass camp must be on the north side of Langshan, so that it can connect with Longcheng and Wangting to the north, and prevent our army from attacking. I wonder if it is possible to send a general to attack its grain camp when the army is flooded.
