Although he holds the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and is half a military attache, Yu Wencheng does not have the aura of a military man in his body, and the bookish air between his eyebrows is very heavy. After all, he comes from a family of civil servants, and the majesty comes from within. The aura of the superior is the result of the power of the family.

Compared with a young master from an aristocratic family like Xue Leihan, he has the arrogance of being a highly respected minister.

Yuwen Chenghua also took a look at Chenyue. Although he was young, his face had already lost the immaturity of a young man due to his long-term experience in the military camp. He had led the army for many years, and his slightly darkened face revealed a shrewd and capable look.

He is a general. He has a tall and straight figure and good facial features. The overall impression given to Yuwen Chenghua is very good.

Looking at the generals under his command, Chu Yucheng is in white clothes and robes. He is tall and thin, like a bamboo pole. He has the air of a Confucian general, and he should be acting as a staff officer. Xue Meng, Xue Tian and others have cold faces, stern expressions, and are wearing armor.

From time to time, the palm of his hand held the handle of the knife in his waist. He must be a fierce general charging into the battle. Everyone looked at Chen Yue vaguely. It seemed that this young general had already accumulated his own team among the border troops.

Yu Wenchenghua cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, you have defended Wuguan for more than ten days, fought bravely to kill the enemy, and tried your best to protect our border. You should be the pillars of the country. Today, the Minister of Japan has specially awarded the imperial court commendation. Officially conferring Chenyue as a military officer

Guan Xuanwei envoy Si Tongzhi was awarded the rank of fourth rank, and was in charge of the defense of Wuguan; Chu Yucheng was promoted to Wuguan to join the army, and was awarded the rank of fifth rank, and planned military affairs; Xue Meng and other generals were awarded rewards according to the law according to their military merits. Soldiers who died in Wuguan were

Let’s bury them well, keep a list of them, and when the war is over, we will provide them with compensation!”

Under the leadership of Chen Yue, everyone stood up to receive the order and thank them.

"General Chen, what is the situation in Wuguan now? Is there any change in the Yanrong army? How many reinforcements need to be mobilized?" Yuwen Chenghua finished reading out the commendation and began to ask about the military situation.

"Back to Lord Shangshu." Chenyue stood up and replied: "Now there are only five or six thousand guards at Wuguan, and most of them are injured and need to be repaired urgently. There are still 20,000 to 30,000 Yan Rong under the city, and they have retreated recently.

We have set up camp, but there is no movement for the time being. If we want to keep the Wuguan intact, we still need 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers and horses. Food, grass, and weapons will be supplied as soon as possible, and there cannot be any shortage. At present, Yan Rong can increase troops at any time, and I hope that Lord Shangshu will dispatch them this morning.

Reinforcements.”

After hearing this, Yu Wenchenghua nodded and felt relieved. This is generally consistent with the military information he heard from Zhou Jingyao. It seems that the pressure at Wuguan is less than that at Tianlang Pass. As long as you defend Wuguan, you can concentrate.

Deal with the Yan Rong army on the other side of Tianlang Pass.

"The governor of Zhou has told me that Liangzhou old soldiers are being recruited. We will soon have an army of 10,000. By then, they will all be transferred to the general. I will also draw 3,000 infantry troops from the soldiers I brought.

I will be dispatched by the general. As for the supply of food and grass, you can rest assured. When I return to Youzhou, I will immediately allocate the full amount. I will not treat my Wuguan soldiers badly!" Yuwen Chenghua patted his chest and assured Chenyue, with a rather serious tone.

He was polite and showed good intentions, as if he was giving what he asked for.

After chatting for a while, Xue Tian and others left one after another. After all, they still needed to keep an eye on the tower. At this time, only Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng were left in the meeting hall to accompany Yu Wen Chenghua.

Yuwen Chenghua looked at Chen Yue and asked with a smile: "General Chen, what do you think about the current border war, how should we retreat from the enemy? I don't know if there is a good strategy, you can tell me."

Chen Yue was stunned. He actually came to ask him how to retreat from the enemy. He was really a courteous corporal. If a stupid young man heard this, he would sigh in his heart that he had met a good Bole.

After Chen Yue lowered his head and thought for a while, he walked to the map and said: "If we want to retreat from the enemy, we should first resolve the Wuguan battle. If the troops in Wuguan can be freed, we can enter the Yanrong camp where we can attack Tianlang Pass from the flank."

, Retreating will at least ensure that Tianlang is safe. Now that Tianlang is surrounded, the soldiers led by Master Shangshu are all from the Central Plains. Forgive me for being presumptuous, there is still a gap in combat power with Yan Rong, so we must not blindly advance!"

Yu Wen Chenghua nodded with satisfaction. He analyzed the situation very clearly and pointed out the current shortcomings of the army. He waved his hand and motioned for Chen Yue to continue.

Chenyue continued: "I think we can send out 100,000 soldiers and horses to camp at Jinshui Mountain in the southwest of Tianlang Pass. The army can rely on the mountain to build a walled city at the mountain pass. Place more antlers outside the camp gate.

, dig deep trenches to guard against sneak attacks by the Yan Rong army. This can form a dichotomy with Tianlang Pass. Once Tianlang is in danger, it can support you at any time. This can deter the enemy from making rash moves. If the time is right, you can also wait for an opportunity to take the initiative.

It is not impossible to attack and cooperate with the inside and outside to repel foreign enemies."

"Okay! The general is really a great talent!" Yuwen Chenghua looked at the map and was very happy. What he was most worried about was that if the army attacked Yanrong directly, they might not be able to fight hard and instead be defeated. In his heart, he was worried about what he had brought.

There is little confidence in the combat power of hundreds of thousands of people. The questions raised by Chen Yue now not only avoid possible dangerous situations, but also provide strong support for Tianlang Pass.

Chen Yue smiled slightly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. This is just a plan of mine. It's not trivial. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. The specifics must be judged based on the changes in the battle situation."

Night fell, covering the entire Wuguan City. The soldiers on the city patrolled back and forth with torches, always on guard against the attack of Yan Rong. Chenyue was invited to Yuwen Chenghua's room, saying that he was discussing military affairs, but Chenyue knew that he was afraid that

I have some private things to say to myself.

Yuwen Chenghua personally poured a cup of tea for Chen Yue. Chen Yue hurriedly waved his hand and said he couldn't bear it. "General Chen is young and has great military achievements. He has reached the fourth rank. He is really a model for the frontier army."

The minister praised without hesitation: "When I came today, I saw the Shanzi camp under the general's command. I was shocked by the majestic momentum and the majesty of the army. The general is really a rare general. If I

If the soldiers of the imperial court can do this, then who else in the world dares to invade our border!"

Chenyue hurriedly raised his hands and said: "It is not my fault alone, it all depends on the soldiers working together and using their lives."

"The general avenged the murder of my son for me, and now I want to express my gratitude in person. Come on, general, drink this cup." Yuwen Chenghua raised his wine glass with great pride. The death of his son also prompted him to be promoted to the official rank.

Although the Minister of War is not the only son in the family, blood is thicker than water after all, so this thank you is sincere.

When Chen Yue saw this, he couldn't refuse and drank the wine in one gulp. In fact, he had no intention of avenging the playboy at the beginning. It was just a coincidence that he captured the two people alive. To be honest, he looked at the rich man.
