Han Dao world

Chapter 19 Try Yang Xiu Again
Liu Xie cut to the chase. "You are from Huayin, are you familiar with the situation in Huayin?"

Liu Xie spread out the map while talking.

This is the hard work of Zhong Yao and others in recent days.

Zhong Yao is not only good at calligraphy, but also has good drawing skills. The maps are exquisite, just like works of art.

Yang Xiu was excited, swallowed his saliva, moistened his throat, and was about to point out Jiangshan, when he looked at the map, he suddenly became short of breath.

"Your Majesty, this is...whose handwriting?"

"Zhong Yuanchang."

Yang Xiu's mood is a bit complicated.

Although he lowered his dignity and improved his attitude towards Zhong Yao, he didn't know that the emperor trusted Zhong Yao so much that he asked him to check the topography of Huayin and draw a map.

Deploying troops, marching and fighting is based on the map, and it is by no means accessible to just anyone.

Judging from the tone in which the emperor called Zhong Yao, he was also very satisfied with Zhong Yao.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Seeing that Yang Xiu didn't speak, Liu Xie had no choice but to knock on the case table to remind Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu came back to his senses, knowing that he had lost his composure, and quickly said: "This picture is very good, very good."

Liu Xie glanced at Yang Xiu and pushed the map in front of him. "Look at what needs to be modified or supplemented."

"Wei!" Yang Xiu felt guilty at Liu Xie's stare, he didn't dare to talk too much, so he restrained his thoughts and checked carefully.

Liu Xie looked at Yang Xiu quietly.

He has seen the map drawn by Zhong Yao and others many times, and knows that Zhong Yao is very careful and has a positive awareness of seizing this opportunity.

Regardless of whether he will stay in the court in the end.

But Yang Xiu is different from Zhong Yao.

Zhong Yao is middle-aged and still sinks into a bureaucrat, so he will naturally cherish every opportunity.

Yang Xiu is a young man who is ambitious, conceited of his talents, and has no practical experience. Whether he can concentrate on doing things like Zhong Yao is a question mark.

He has worked hard in the workplace for many years, and he has seen too many newbies like this.Those are still talents with professional knowledge. For a noble son like Yang Xiu who doesn't stick to the spring water and only reads sage books, he dare not have too high expectations.

Using Huayin's terrain to test Yang Xiu's school, I just don't want him to lose too badly.

If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you must save some face for Yang Biao.

After reading the map, Yang Xiu thought for a moment. "Your Majesty... are you going to guard against danger?"

Liu Xie nodded calmly.

According to his request, the locations marked by Zhong Yao on the map are all terrains that are conducive to defense, and it is not difficult for Yang Xiu to see this.

Yang Biao is very clear about his overall strategy, and he is an important executor. It is not surprising that Yang Xiu heard some news.

"Forgive me, if you can keep it, I'm afraid it's not your Majesty, but Yang Ding and Dong Cheng." Yang Xiu rolled up his sleeves with one hand and nodded on the map with the other. "Judging from their current positions, they are not conducive to holding on. Once they meet the enemy, it will take three to five days at most, or one or two days at least, and they will be defeated."

Liu Xie nodded secretly.

Yang Xiu hit the nail on the head.

As far as the terrain is concerned, the imperial camp is located on the loess plateau on the south side of the official road, condescending. As long as the imperial army does not persuade and Yang Feng reinforces in time, it is not difficult to hold the position.

Yang Ding and Dong Cheng are hard to say.

Yang Ding's camp is in Xiyue Temple, close to the official road, the terrain is flat and open, and there is no danger to defend.

Dong Cheng's camp is by the Weihe River, with a vast expanse of floodplain and flat river.

Once Li Jue and Guo Si came to attack, there would be no other possibility except face-to-face field battles.

"What advice do you have?"

"You can order Yang Ding to retreat to guard Jiling Palace, and Dong Cheng to retreat five miles back, forming a corner with the imperial camp."

While talking, Yang Xiu pointed to the map to explain.

Jiling Palace is the original site of Xiyue Temple. At the foot of Huashan Mountain, it was built during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Later, due to the inconvenience of offering sacrifices, it was moved to the current site.Although Jiling Palace is not as dilapidated as before, there are still some buildings available.In case the situation is unfavorable, you can retreat into Huashan and stick to it.

On the east side of Jiling Palace is the Yellow Sour Water (now Liuye River). The water flows from the depths of Huashan Mountain, and there is no possibility of being cut off, which can ensure water safety.

Theoretically speaking, as long as there is enough food, Yang Ding wants to stay as long as he wants.

Dong Cheng was stationed by the Weishui River, originally to control the Weishui ferry and prevent Li Jue from coming from Feng Yi.However, the Weishui River is not wide, and after winter, the flow decreases greatly, and it can be crossed almost everywhere. It is not meaningful to control the ferry, but there is a possibility of being divided and surrounded.

Instead of this, it is better to get close to the imperial camp and support each other.

Yang Xiu suggested that Dong Cheng be stationed in Pingshu City.

Pingshu City is a small city, on the south bank of the Wei River, north of the official road.Nearby is the ancient Great Wall built by the state of Wei. The terrain is quite high, and it can be used as a defensive position with a little renovation.

Liu Xie nodded, applauding Yang Xiu's suggestion.

After all, he is a local, and Yang Xiu's understanding of the surrounding terrain is far better than Zhong Yao's visits in the past few days.

This is beyond his expectation, Yang Xiu is actually a very pragmatic person.

Perhaps this has something to do with Hongnong Yang's family tradition.

"You make some preparations, then explain to Yang Ding and Dong Cheng."

Yang Xiu was overjoyed and bowed to salute, but then felt ashamed again.

Is it worth being happy about such a small thing?

-

After consulting Yang Xiu, Liu Xie convened the Sangong Jiuqing to discuss the matter.

Taiwei Yang Biao, Situ Zhao Wen, Sikong Zhang Xi sat on both sides of the imperial case, Taichang Wang Jiang, Guang Luxun Deng Quan and others sat a little farther away, Zhong Yao and other servants and servants sat around, some Those who have no seats, simply stand with hands folded.

Although it was not a solemn and solemn hall, the expressions of the officials were dignified, and there was still a hint of awe that should be in the court hall.

Knowing that Zhang Ji's rebellion and that Li Jue and Guo Si are about to attack, Yang Biao and Shi Sun Rui, who are as stable as they are, can't help but feel worried.

The training of the imperial army is being strengthened, and the spirit and spirit have indeed changed, but it will take time to form combat effectiveness.With limited troops and insufficient ordnance, no one dared to say that they were sure of winning the battle against the Xiliang Army, which was known for its ferocity.

Once the battle is defeated, everyone can imagine what will happen.

The top priority, the best solution is not to fight, but to leave quickly.

But Duan Yao and Zhang Ji stood in front of them, and they had nowhere to go.

The ministers were panicked and had different expressions.

Liu Xie was also nervous, but in the spirit of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, he was still calm and did not lose his footing.

Compared with being a puppet for more than [-] years, death in battle may be an option.

Living to death, it is God's will to lose, and if you win, it will be the beginning of a turning point in history.

In the eyes of the ministers, Liu Xie's calmness became a rare calm and proper heroic temperament.

These days, countless people watched Liu Xie practice martial arts, and there were many speculations, and there were also many private discussions.Now that I meet Liu Xie at close range, I feel more and more that Liu Xie is calm and calm, with a majestic demeanor that does not change his face when a mountain collapses in front of him, and he has been infected unconsciously.

With Mingjun like this, what difficulty is there that cannot be overcome?
The Son of Heaven is fifteen years old, and he can be so calm. As ministers, how can we panic?
The atmosphere of the court meeting was like a pool of water. After throwing a huge rock into it, it stirred up countless waves, and then gradually returned to calm.

Liu Xie coughed lightly and looked at Yang Biao. "Mr. Yang, please tell me first."
