I don’t know when Yelu Baoji’s expression became so solemn. He suddenly stood up, strode towards the map, pointed at the map and said:

"What if Zhou Weiran has an internal agent on Pinghan Road? What if this internal agent has enough ability to open the city gate of Yanxing Pass?

With Zhou Weiran's temperament, such a large-scale mobilization of troops is definitely 80% or even 90% sure of capturing Yanxing Pass.

Apart from internal support, I can't think of a second reason that could give Zhou Weiran such strong self-confidence.

You know, if they fail to take Yanxing Pass, the Yan army will not only be in a bitter battle on Pinghan Road, but these new troops on the front line along the Yishui River will also be defeated by us.

The whole battle in the East Courtyard will be completely lost.

He can’t afford to gamble!”

Yelu Baoji's repeated shouts made everyone's faces look a little dull. This assumption was too bold.

If there really is such an internal agent who can open the city gate of Yanxing Pass, he must be a person with great hands and eyes, and he must be in a high position among the Pinghan Road frontier army.

Then Pinghan Road is in danger.

It seemed that Yelu Baoji was ready to die without surprising his words, so he said in a deep voice again:

"If my inference is accurate, then Dongting's soldiers and horses can at least attack Pinghan Road. If they are bolder, the entire Pinghan Road may even be captured by the Yan army.

If I were Zhou Weiran, after entering Yanxing Pass, I would split my troops into two groups and go straight to Hanzhou City. As the saying goes, to capture the thief, capture the king first, capture the capital of Pinghan Road first and capture Chang Jing'an at the same time.

Be a hostage. The other way goes straight to Zhenbeiguan, captures the military center of Jizhou, and captures Jizhou and Hanzhou at the same time.

As long as the troops advance quickly, the defenders on Pinghan Road will definitely not be able to react.

After occupying Pinghan Road, the army divided its forces again, blocking the border between Tianning Road and Pinghan Road, blocking the retreat of the Chang family's southward army. The other group rushed westward from Zhenbeiguan to attack Chifeng City and invaded Tanzhou.

Wasn't the entire war in Liaodong and even Pinghan Road completely revitalized by Zhou Weiran?"

Yelu Baoji's palm kept pointing back and forth on the map, and his voice gradually became louder. At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by Zhou Weiran's instinct, and he almost accurately guessed every move of Yan Jun.

If Zhou Weiran heard these words, his jaw would probably drop.

Several Liaodong civil servants and generals in the room were all stunned. They felt that Yelu Baoji's idea was too bold and sounded like a fantasy, but they felt an unconscious chill running down their spines.

Because they knew that if Yelu Baoji's inference was completely correct, then Chifeng City would be in danger, Tanzhou would be in danger, and the entire Liaodong would be in danger.

Xin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded silently:

"I don't know why, but I think it's very possible that you guessed it."

Everyone looked at each other, and Xin Ji also stood on Yelu Baoji's side. What happened to everyone today? This idea is too crazy.

Xue Leihan hesitated and said: "If this is really the case, then we should take countermeasures immediately and send people eight hundred miles away to warn Chang Jing'an. Maybe there is room for remediation."

"It's useless, it's too late."

Xin Ji stared at the map and said: "The front line of Yunzhou is hundreds of miles inland, and the road is covered with yellow sand. It is difficult to walk quickly. Moreover, we have to detour through Jizhou and go straight to Hanzhou. It will take five or six days to go all the way quickly."

If my guess is right, Yan Jun has already entered Pinghan Road at this moment."

After listening to Yelu Baoji's inference, Xin Ji was now almost certain that the Yan army was sending troops to Pinghan Road.

"Then what should we do?" Xue Leihan frowned tightly.

If Ping Handao cannot be saved, is it possible that he can only watch helplessly as they are defeated by the Yan army?

Yelu Baoji said solemnly: "In terms of time, it will be too late to save the Pinghan Road side. The only thing we can do is to quickly increase the number of troops in Chifeng City and strengthen the defense of Tanzhou."

"Add more troops to Chifeng City?"

Yun Chen rubbed his brow bitterly and said softly:

"Where are the troops and horses coming from? The troops on the front line of Luoyun City must not be moved. Li Siye's 10,000 Modao Army is guarding Jinyang Pass. It is too slow to transfer the heavy infantry to Chifeng City.

Xie Xiaolei's 10,000 Benlei Cavalry were stationed at Jianmen Pass, but that was the gateway to Shuntan Prefecture, and the prince had already given military orders, so he had to dispatch the Benlei Cavalry to fight unless absolutely necessary.

As for the two states of Shuntan, the garrison strength is even more empty, almost all of them are infantry, mainly new soldiers, and almost all the cavalry who can fight followed the prince south."

That's right, it wasn't until this moment that everyone realized that this was no longer the case before. Liangchi was fighting on two sides, and they had very few mobile troops at their disposal.

In fact, the last trump card of the Liang army was stationed at the junction of Liaodong and Beiliang, Bu Wenshan's 30,000 right cavalry troops.

But it was used as a mobile force to respond to the war in Beiliang and Liaodong at any time. Now Xin Ji can't mobilize Bu Wenshan's 30,000 troops based on guesswork, right?

Everyone fell into silence, and everyone unconsciously looked at Xin Ji.

Xin Ji is the deputy governor of Liaodong and is in charge of military affairs in Liaodong. Before Chen Yue left, he gave him the power to do things for his own convenience. In other words, Xin Ji has the final say on what to do now.

All the possibilities so far are their speculations. Should they rely on the guessed results to mobilize troops? If so, where should they mobilize troops?

The burden on Xin Ji's shoulders is heavy.

"Guys, I..."

After a long time, Xin Ji, who had been struggling, finally raised his head, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.

Xue Leihan had been with Xin Ji for the longest time, and he knew what Xin Ji was thinking with just one look.

Xue Leihan said calmly: "You are the Protector of Liaodong. No matter what decision you make, we will support you."

"right!"

Everyone nodded and looked at Xin Ji with solemn faces.

A touch of warmth arose in Xin Ji's heart, and he finally stopped hesitating and said in a deep voice:

"Send the order!"

"exist!"

Several big men who were soldiers came in immediately and waited for Xin Ji's military orders.

"Send someone on horseback to convey a message to Xie Xiaolei, and the galloping thunder riders immediately gather together, traveling lightly and simply, to rush to the aid of Chifeng City day and night.

Tell Xie Xiaolei, I have only one sentence.

Chifeng City is still in our hands, so hold it. If it is captured by the Yan army, take it back.

Not even a single soldier of the Yan army can enter Tanzhou!"

"promise!"

"A message was sent to General Li Siye of Jinyang Pass, and the Modao Army marched out with all their weapons to Jianmen Pass to take over from Ben Leiqi to guard Jianmen Pass.

We can't control that Jinyang Pass for the time being."

"promise!"

"Yun Chen."

"exist!"

"Go and gather all the rangers on the Yunjin Defense Line, as many as you can. After gathering together, rush to support Chifeng City. I'm afraid Xie Xiaolei won't be able to withstand it on his own."

"promise!"

A series of military orders popped out of Xin Ji's mouth. Finally, he looked at the crowd with a stern face and said:

"Everyone, it seems calm on the banks of the Yishui River, but the moment of life and death in Liaodong is approaching.

The safety of Liaodong is in your hands!"

Everyone clasped their fists together and shouted in a deep voice:
Chapter completed!
