Outside Tongzhou City, the Liangjun commander's tent

Chen Yue stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the map hanging on the wall with his brows furrowed. He was the only one in the tent, which seemed particularly quiet. Several lamp beads were swaying slightly in the tent, illuminating the general's tent brightly.

Recently, the fighting on the Tongzhou front line has fully begun. Various armies have separately attacked the cities along the Gyeonggi defense line. The fighting has been fierce, but so far there has been no obvious progress.

The only good news came from Zuoqiu. The Long army that had sneaked into the interior had basically been wiped out. Rare attacks were reported now. Wu Xinrou didn't seem to be planning to send any more troops to die.

He just guarded the Gyeonggi defense line and refused to fight.

But at this moment, King Liang's focus was not on the raging battlefield in Gyeonggi. His eyes always stayed on the border of Liangyan.

Sadness was written all over Chen Yue's cheeks.

"Your Majesty!"

Two figures stepped into the handsome tent, namely Chu Yucheng and Zhuge Muddleheaded. There was a trace of doubt on their faces. They didn't understand why Chenyue suddenly summoned them in the middle of the night.

Chenyue didn't even turn around, but said calmly: "I just sent urgent military information from Wuguan, let's take a look~"

Chu Yucheng and Zhuge were confused for a moment, and then their eyes fell on the table behind Chen Yue, where there was a letter that had just been opened.

The two of them immediately picked up the letter and read it. After scanning it hastily, Chu Yucheng said in astonishment:

"Muyun Canglan personally marched, and the Yan army increased its troops by 200,000?"

Xue Tian and a group of Beiliang military generals worked hard and sent countless elite crossbowmen, and then found out the approximate number of soldiers and horses of the Yan army. Two hundred thousand reinforcements was only a conservative number.

Knowing that the military situation was urgent, they sent people 800 miles overnight to rush to the front line. Chen Yue must be aware of the war outside Beiliang Pass.

There was also a trace of shock in Zhuge's confused eyes: "Is this Golden Khan crazy? Five to six million troops and horses, the entire Yan Kingdom has come out in force."

Chen Yue turned around and said: "It won't be enough to send out all the troops, but at least we will use the troops of the seventh and eighth levels.

The military flags of the five tribes of Yan and Rong have all appeared on the front line, and the main force of the so-called Eight Banners has almost arrived. They are determined to penetrate our northern defense line~"

There was a hint of worry in the eyes of both Chu Yucheng and Chu Yucheng. The defenders left in Beiliang were under great pressure, several times larger than their own enemy troops, and there were also many veterans who had fought in the grasslands for many years.

Can the northern defense line really be held?

Chenyue looked at the two of them and asked seriously: "What do you think we should do now? Fight or retreat?"

Chu Yucheng and Zhuge fell into silence. It was indeed difficult to make a choice.

Once Beiliang is lost, the consequences will be disastrous. It is the support of hundreds of thousands of southern expedition troops. Once Beiliang is destroyed, their home will be lost.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhuge was confused and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, my army of hundreds of thousands has marched south and has been fighting for more than a year. We have just arrived at Gyeonggi Road and the capital of Long Dynasty is just around the corner. If we retreat at this time, won't our past achievements be wiped out and our military strength be wasted?

The poor monk sees this and continues to fight!

Fight until the Yuwen clan is defeated."

"Mr. Zhuge is right." Chu Yucheng agreed: "But Liangdi is our foundation, we have to guard against it, and we still need to prepare the necessary back-ups."

"That's what I mean too~"

Chenyue breathed a sigh of relief. These two close friends had the same idea as him. The war still had to be fought, but Beiliang could not abandon it.

Chu Yucheng cupped his fists and said: "The general suggested that the various military envoys immediately repair and level the official roads within the territory, and set up grain storage points in the counties along the way to reserve some necessary grain and grass supplies.

If Beiliang is in danger in the future, the cavalry can go north along the official road with light equipment at any time and return to Liang to fight day and night.

At the same time, we should also notify the few generals who are left behind in each territory to recruit soldiers and send them to Liangdi to participate in the city defense battle.

With the current strength of Xue Duhu alone, it would be difficult to stop the Yan army."

Zhuge nodded confusedly: "Yes, we have to start the preparations that need to be made. The war in Tongzhou must be stepped up, and the backup in Liangdi must be comprehensive."

"Your advice is great!"

Chen Yue crossed his arms and looked at the map and said: "Yucheng, could you please go to Shannan, Hebei, Jidong and West Hebei to make arrangements for the repair of official roads and the establishment of grain storage points? This matter is extremely important.

I can rest assured that you are personally in charge.

Also tell Xue Tian, ​​try your best to hold on, reinforcements will be there!

I, Beiliang, am never afraid of any enemy!"

"promise!"

…

The night was pitch black, and the cool autumn breeze blew slowly over Tongzhou City.

Fifth Xinrou took Xun An for a casual walk around the city, walking slowly.

A long string of fire lights lit up outside Tongzhou City, which was very eye-catching. That was where the Liang army camped. Tens of thousands of Liang soldiers set out from there every day to attack the Gyeonggi defense line in large numbers.

Even at this moment, a large number of corpses of soldiers from both sides were lying outside Tongzhou City.

Fifth Xinrou stood supporting the wall and said softly: "In the past two days, the news of Mu Yun Canglan's personal expedition to Beiliang has spread all over the world. It is said to be an army of one million, and the soldiers are invincible. The entire Central Plains is panicked.

Xun An, do you think Prince Liang outside the city can still sleep at this moment?

Will the Liang army withdraw when we wake up early tomorrow morning?"

I don’t know where the news about Mu Yun Canglan’s personal conquest came from. In just a few days, it spread like snowflakes all over the world. Now the people of the Central Plains not only have to face mutual conquests from the mainland, but also have to worry about the day when the barbarians on the grassland will

Killed at their doorstep, these days are becoming more and more unsettled.

Xun An bowed slightly and said:

"The King of Liang outside the city is far more determined than anyone else. The Liang army went through all kinds of hardships to reach the outside of Tongzhou City. He will never withdraw because of the Yan army's massive pressure on the border.

Continuing to attack is their only option."

"Haha, your evaluation is very pertinent." Fifth Xinrou smiled: "The soldiers we sent to Shannan Road and Hebei Road should be almost dead. Many teams have completely lost news."

Xun An said softly: "The Liang Army has its own methods. Your Majesty's plan has already given the Liang Army a headache and slowed down the offensive ahead. The goal has been achieved.

As for those soldiers, they should be regarded as loyal to His Majesty."

Wu Xinrou stopped and looked away, and said softly: "I told that prince at the beginning that Liang Jun would not be able to set foot in Gyeonggi Province within half a year.

Now three months have passed, and there are still three months to go.

These three months will cost the lives of countless soldiers~"

Xun An said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, the troops in each city have issued strict orders. Our army is nearly 200,000, and it is more than enough to hold on for three months."

Fifth Xinrou narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at the long dragon-like fire, and suddenly said with curiosity:
Chapter completed!
