Chapter [-] Kansai War——

Xu Congyang raised his hand and said, "Get up and talk first." After Qiao Mingtang got up and motioned for Qiao Mingtang to sit down on the chair next to him, he said, "Governor Qiao, do you have any idea about the military situation in Kansai?" Know?"

Qiao Mingtang was about to stand up to answer, when Xu Congyang pressed his hands and said, "It's just you and this old man here, don't be formal, just say what you want."

Qiao Mingtang clasped his hands and said yes, and then said softly: "As far as I know, after General Fenghan Xiaofeng was assassinated by the people of Xiliang, Xiao Tianwen, the king of the South Court of Xiliang, led [-] cavalry to break through the Yanmen Pass. When the army was leaderless, they even occupied the land of the three states of Kansai Road. Seventy-eight out of ten of Kansai Road had already fallen into the hands of Xiliang people. Thanks to Zhu Lingyue, the governor of Tianchi Road, he prevented the soldiers and horses of the three Kansai Roads from trying to intercept them. It was only then that the Xiliang people's offensive momentum was temporarily blocked...!" After a moment of pondering, he asked in a low voice: "I heard that Yu Buqu, the great general who protects the country, has requested an order to go to the northwest to sit in the township, but I don't know if it's true or not. !"

Xu Congyang nodded and said, "That's right. A month ago, Old General Yu saw that the situation in the Northwest was critical, so he took the initiative to invite Ying. At the age of 65, he still rushed to the Northwest!"

Qiao Mingtang sighed: "The old general is really a role model for our courtiers, serving the country loyally, and has an awe-inspiring righteousness."

Xu Congyang caressed his beard and said: "The four generals of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, Feng Hanxiao has already devoted his life for the country, General Lei Guheng worships the Twelve Generals of the Guards, and is responsible for protecting the capital of Luo'an, so naturally he cannot leave. General Chiliandian Sitting in Liaodong Sandao, it is impossible to get away, and I, the Great Qin general, can only ask Xiao Tian about the right and wrong, no more than these four generals, so although old general Yu is old and frail, he has been recuperating at home, but I heard General Feng is dead, and the situation in the northwest is in turmoil, but he resolutely asks for an order to fight, he is really passionate and loyal!"

Qiao Mingtang said: "Since Old General Yu has rushed to the northwest, the people of Xiliang must dare not continue to attack."

Xu Congyang shook his head and sighed: "The Xiliang people have always been the most difficult opponents of our Great Qin, and Xiao Tianwen can also be said to be a first-class famous general in the world. The old general rushed to the northwest, but he was not completely sure. These years You also know that the military expenditure of the Northwest Army has been cut repeatedly. Although there is an iron army trained by Feng Hanxiao, the weapons and equipment are quite outdated, and food and grass are in short supply from time to time. Now that General Feng is dead and the Xiliang army invaded, the entire The Northwest has fallen into chaos, no matter how capable General Yu is, his first task is to temporarily stabilize the situation in the Northwest, and it will be no easy task to repel the Xiliang people!"

Qiao Mingtang nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said solemnly: "Guanxi enters Guanzhong, and after passing Xigu Pass, you will be on the West Mountain Road. Although the West Mountain Road has no soldiers for the time being, the officials have not let up for a moment, and they have made every effort to ensure the reserve of materials for the West Mountain Road. Now that the roads are clear, as long as the imperial court has an order, we will provide support to the Kansai region at any time."

Xu Congyang nodded slightly, and remained silent for a moment with a very solemn expression, then smiled and said, "But there is one thing you may not know. A few days ago, Jingzhong just got the battle report from the Kansai side. Originally, the Xiliang people attacked fiercely. After General Yu arrived in Kansai, he immediately gathered Feng Hanxiao's remnants and built a line of defense. He thought that the Xiliang people would take advantage of the low morale of our army to take down the entire Kansai Road, but the Xiliang people stopped suddenly. Offensive, and... actually building a defensive line on the front line of Haozhou in Kansai, look at that, I don't want to attack, but want to defend!"

Qiao Mingtang wondered, "How is this possible?" He frowned and said, "As far as I know, Xiao Tianwen is a man who is good at seizing opportunities. Our army is obviously weak. Why did he stop attacking suddenly? Is there any conspiracy in the middle? "

Xu Congyang said seriously: "We don't know exactly what the Xiliang people are planning for a while. But this news was sent back to the capital by General Yu himself, so there can be no mistake."

Qiao Mingtang nodded, but his face was full of suspicion.

In fact, Qiao Mingtang has always been paying attention to the battle situation in Kansai. After all, once the people of Xiliang really occupy the three lands of Kansai, Tianchi, and Beishan in Kansai, their next goal will be to attack Xiguguan. Marching into Guanzhong, and Xishan Road is the first road in Kansai that bears the brunt.

In fact, the battle reports from Kansai have been sent to Qiao Mingtang all the time, and most of the news that comes is disappointing news. However, the Guanxi defenders were defeated in successive battles, retreating again and again, a large area of ​​land was lost, fell into the enemy's hands, and was trampled by Xiliang iron cavalry.

In terms of the overall battle situation, since Feng Hanxiao died, the Xiliang people attacked Yanmen Pass, and the Xiliang people have been on the offensive, while the Qin army has been on the defensive and retreating.

This time Yu Buqu, the old general Yu, went to Kansai to defend against the enemy, but Qiao Mingtang didn't think that Yu Buqu could turn decay into magic in a short period of time and quickly change the situation of the battle.

Knowing from Xu Congyang that the Xiliang people suddenly stopped moving forward and even built a defensive line, this made Qiao Mingtang very puzzled. Why didn't the Xiliang people take advantage of the victory and continue to attack when they had the upper hand?Taking advantage and stopping the attack is not the temperament of Xiliang people, nor is it the way of using troops by the king of Xiliang South Court Xiao Tianwen.

Seeing Qiao Mingtang still in deep thought, Xu Congyang coughed lightly. Qiao Mingtang immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly said, "I have lost my composure, and please forgive me, Grand Master!"

Xu Congyang shook his head and asked, "Governor Qiao, do you know what the old man meant when he talked about the military situation of the relationship?"

Qiao Mingtang was startled, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I also ask the Grand Scholar to enlighten me!"

Xu Congyang picked up the teacup and said calmly, "Could it be that Governor Qiao doesn't understand?"

Qiao Mingtang pondered for a while, and finally said: "The Grand Scholar is worried... that there will be chaos in the West Mountain Road, which will drag down General Yu's subordinates in Kansai?"

Xu Congyang put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Master Qiao, no wonder so many people recommended you in the court, you are still very talented."

"Don't dare." Qiao Mingtang said hastily: "The Grand Scholar is absurd."

Xu Congyang said solemnly: "Three roads in Guanxi, Guanxi, Tianchi, Beishan, seven or eight out of ten of Guanxi Road have fallen into the hands of Xiliang people. Attack again, and the situation in Kansai is still very serious. However, Old General Yu is now sitting in Kansai. He is a famous general in the world. Although he is old, he has a lot of experience. Dao, the old general is now just taking advantage of the fact that the Xiliang people are standing still, and redeploying in the relationship. Build a defense line, redeploy and deploy the army, and also take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate some supplies and food. As long as the old general is given time, the old general will surely be able to Stabilize the situation and block the ambitions of the Xiliang people!"

Qiao Mingtang nodded repeatedly and said, "Exactly!"

Xu Congyang glanced at Qiao Mingtang, and said, "As you said just now, when you enter the Guanxi Pass, your West Mountain Road is the first place to enter the Xigu Pass. Now the old general is planning and deploying in Kanxi, and your Kanxi Road is actually It has become the old general's rear area. The Xiliang people's offensive has caused a large number of refugees to appear in Kansai. They poured into Tianchi and Beishan Second Road. There is a shortage of supplies there. If they cannot be properly resettled, the situation in Kansai will be greatly reduced. Even more chaotic. The old general has also written to the imperial court. First, he needs a large amount of food to appease the refugees. Second, he also needs weapons and equipment to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Northwest defenders... In short, a large amount of food, grass, and equipment need to be transferred from the imperial court to Kansai. You You should understand that if the imperial court wants to transport food and equipment to Kansai, your West Mountain Road must pass through, and the convoy must pass through the West Mountain Road and exit Xigu Pass... Do you understand what this old man means?"

Qiao Mingtang's body shook, and he said solemnly: "Your official understands. What the scholar means is that the West Mountain Road is an important place for support relations, and there must be no mistake."

"That's right." Xu Congyang said solemnly: "The location of Xishan Road is very important now. General Yu is now focused on deploying in Kansai. As an important place behind Kansai, there must be no mistakes in Xishan Road, especially Xishan Road. The various official roads must be unimpeded, otherwise there will be chaos on the West Mountain Road, and you should understand the consequences. In addition, some roads must be repaired to ensure that supplies can be quickly transported to Kansai in the future...!"

Qiao Mingtang finally stood up, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the Grand Scholar, I know what to do."

Xu Congyang shook his head and said, "Governor Qiao, you don't know!"

Qiao Mingtang was startled.

"If you knew, the Tongzhou bandits would not have ended hastily." Xu Congyang stared at Qiao Mingtang and said calmly, "Perhaps you want to keep Zhao Guangqing in your heart, but you don't know that, in this way, Xishan Road has already been plunged into an unstoppable situation." In the predicted danger!"

Seeing Xu Congyang's solemn expression, Qiao Mingtang frowned slightly, but still respectfully said: "Grand scholar, I didn't mean to cover up Zhao Guangqing, but Zhao Guangqing explained it very clearly in the letter...!" Before he could finish speaking, Xu Congyang He snorted coldly and said, "There are so many doubts. How can it be explained that there are such a huge number of weapons hidden, and finally a thousand households in the Tongzhou camp are responsible for it? And the whereabouts of the weapons have not been found. Even the heinous Duan Xun also Can’t be arrested and brought to justice, Zhao Guangqing can make this matter invisible with a pleading note?”

Qiao Mingtang hurriedly said: "Shen Yiwei, Sun Yinhu, and Sun Baihu have secretly gone to Tongzhou to investigate this case. Since such a big case happened in Tongzhou, the officials will never favor anyone, nor will they cover anyone!"

Xu Congyang caressed his white beard lightly, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Lord Qiao, the old man came here for no other reason than to make Xishan Road the second Hebei Road and Jianghuai Road...!"

Qiao Mingtang's face turned pale when he heard the words, and his expression was a little terrified, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a hint of displeasure——
