"You are so stupid. Qi is about to be destroyed. Are you willing to be a general who will subjugate the country? If you can expand your troops, can't you turn the tide?" Luo Xifeng originally came over to call the two father and son to eat.
After listening for a while outside the door, he pushed the door open in a hurry.
Speaking of which, Luo Xifeng is more generous than Du Changgeng. Du Changgeng is resolute and upright, but he is not tactful and stubborn. But Du Changgeng has an advantage, that is, he listens to his wife's words. Being scolded by Luo Xifeng, on the contrary,
Figured it out.
"What Madam said is not unreasonable." Du Changgeng was scolded by Luo Xifeng, but he nodded.
Du Xuan couldn't laugh or cry. If he had known that scolding would work, he should have called his mother over. He couldn't scold him. That would be disobedient and unfilial.
"Xuan'er, whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it. Your father has only been successful in this life. Heroes emerge from troubled times. The world has become such a mess. Don't shrink back. Your mother is behind you to support you!" Luo Xifeng said.
Du Xuan smiled: "Father's concerns are not completely unreasonable. But now that Daqi is in turmoil, we Chiyang Guards cannot sit back and wait for death. It is better to rely on God to open our eyes than to rely on our own efforts. This time Barbarian Dog came with twenty to thirty thousand men.
Man, we won by luck. Next time they come for 50,000 or 100,000, how can I win? If we lose, what will the people of Chiyang Guard do?"
Luo Xifeng glared at her husband: "Did you hear what Xuan'er said? When Xuan'er was studying literature, you said that Xuan'er's studies were useless and rotten. In the end, you yourself were pedantic. Daqi was in chaos, and no one cared about it.
If we don’t go to this border anymore, if you still don’t go out of your way to protect the people of Chiyangwei, you still worry about this and that. You are not as sensible as I, Xuan’er.”
Du Changgeng sighed: "It's not because I'm ignorant. The situation of the imperial court is unclear. If I just left the Chiyang Guards and the imperial army came to the border to quell the chaos in Sichuan, wouldn't it be true that I was guilty of treason?"
What?"
"Father, if there is really no problem with the court and Sichuan has been in chaos for so long, how could it be possible that the army has not been sent to quell the civil unrest? If you hesitate any longer, I'm afraid that the barbarian army will march south in large numbers and turn around to completely occupy Sichuan.
We, Chiyang Guard, are the only city left. How long can we hold on?" Du Xuan said.
"In your opinion, how should we deal with it?" Du Changgeng asked.
"Take advantage of the situation, organize and train the army, capture the important town of Sichuan, and temporarily avoid the barbarians. When the time is right, immediately capture the entire Sichuan in one fell swoop. If the barbarians send their troops south, Sichuan will directly cut off the barbarians' retreat and cut off the barbarians' entry channels.
As long as the Golden Crow barbarians are trapped in the Central Plains and Daqi has no one left, how can we still allow the barbarians to be domineering in the Central Plains?" Du Xuan said.
"But in this case, our Sichuan government will definitely be in a situation where the barbarians are attacking from both sides." Du Changgeng said worriedly.
"Given the size of Sichuan Province, there are many important towns rich in food, and the people's customs are strong. As long as the civil unrest is quelled and wasteland is opened to grow food, it is no problem to train a hundred thousand elite soldiers. With one hundred thousand elite soldiers, we will still be afraid of following the barbaric dogs.
Against each other?" Du Xuan said.
Du Changgeng was still a little worried: "I'm afraid the barbarians won't allow us to develop and grow so smoothly."
"Of course the Barbarian Dogs won't do it. But we may not be the ones who have the headache. As long as you give me a year, I will definitely be able to train an invincible dragon scale horse cavalry. By then, if we don't bother the Barbarian Dogs, the Barbarian Dogs will
Burn incense and worship Buddha." Du Xuan said.
"Do you still have many dragon-scaled horses?" Du Changgeng asked.
Du Xuan did not hide anything, but he also did not tell the truth: "Black Bear Castle will soon be able to train two thousand dragon scale horse cavalry. It's just that these recruits have never seen blood and their combat effectiveness is not enough. But let the veterans take them and harass the barbarians several times."
The combat effectiveness of the cavalry has gradually improved."
"Good boy! You actually got so many dragon-scale horses. If you had equipped my guard camp with dragon-scale horses earlier, how could this battle be so difficult?" Du Changgeng stared.
"You have the ability to tame the dragon-scaled horse by yourself, but you have the nerve to snatch the things from your son's hands. I think Xuan'er is right to have his own ideas. You are hesitant and timid. The dragon-scaled horse will be wasted in your hands.
It is better to let Xuan'er train the dragon scale horse cavalry by himself. Xuan'er, please ignore your father. I see that the dragon scale horse cavalry you have trained, although they are still new recruits, are no less powerful than your father's escort battalion.
" Luo Xifeng said.
Du Changgeng sighed and shook his head: "Forget it, I don't care about your dragon-scale horses. However, you have so many dragon-scale horses. Don't worry about the horses captured this time."
Du Xuan nodded: "Okay, I have a lot of dragon scale horses in my hands now. I won't have enough fodder to feed these horses when I take them back."
When it comes to fodder, Du Changgeng is also a little confused: "Where can I get so much fodder?"
Du Xuan smiled and said: "That's none of my business. Anyway, these tens of thousands of war horses are yours. Father, I have one more thing to do."
"What's the matter?" Du Changgeng asked.
"The barbarian troops deployed outside Chiyang Pass to contain the Chiyang Pass defenders probably haven't had time to withdraw. In order for the news to be spread, they have to go around Lingtai Guards, which will take at least a few more days. If our Dragon Scale Horse Cavalry Battalion
Rush over quickly and join the defenders of Chiyang Pass. We should catch the barbarian army by surprise and capture it in one fell swoop. If the barbarian army launches a massive attack, the city of Mauihan will inevitably be empty. After we annihilate the barbarian army, we can capture the city of Mauihan in one fell swoop.
.Maybe the forage problem that you are worried about, dad, will be completely solved." Du Xuan said with a smile.
Du Changgeng's eyes lit up: "The barbarian soldiers invaded Daqi, and the city of Mauihan must be an important transfer station for supplies. If we can capture the city of Mauihan, it is really possible to wipe out all the supplies accumulated here.
.Just doing this is too dangerous and inappropriate.”
Du Changgeng was still very conservative and found it difficult to accept Du Xuan's unbridled ideas for a while.
"What's wrong? The barbarians definitely didn't expect us to attack. If we pretended to be barbarians, maybe Maoyhan City wouldn't need to attack the city at all, and we could directly enter through the city gate. My cavalry battalion
There happened to be hundreds of barbarian cavalry. The barbarians were not monolithic. The barbarian territory was composed of many tribes, only some of which submitted to the Golden Crow Barbarians. The tribe I recruited, called the Black Bear Tribe, now has a grudge against the Golden Crow Barbarians. It must be so.
On our side. We can definitely take advantage of this to recruit tribes that are hostile to the Golden Crow Barbarians," Du Xuan said.
"Huh? This is a good way. Use barbarians to deal with barbarians." Du Changgeng said.
"That's not the point. The point is, we have every way to sneak into Mauihan City." Du Xuan said.
