Chapter 343 The Great Showdown ([-])

Chapter [-] Final Battle ([-])

Late at night!
Dong Bi fell on the couch and fell into a deep sleep.

Cai Yan was sitting beside the couch, quietly looking at Dong Pi who was sleeping soundly, with a look of distress in his eyes.

Ah Chou lost weight...

Since arriving in Zhangye, Dong Bi has hardly really relaxed. He is either tinkering with things in Dong Yucheng all day long, or he is busy marching and fighting.In a flash, it has been almost three years, but the husband and wife have not said a word properly.This is not the Chou in my memory... The Chou in my memory is a cheerful and good man who takes care of his family.

But now...

Cai Yan didn't blame Dong Pi, but herself.

She can't fight on horseback like Ren Hongchang and Dong Lu, and she doesn't have the ability to deal with complicated things.She can play the piano, she can compose poems, she can sing and dance, but she doesn't know how to help Dong Bi, and she blames herself very much.

Cai Yan knew that everything Dong Bi was doing now was aimed at returning to the Central Plains in the future.

But looking at Dong Bi's getting thinner and thinner, Cai Yan really wanted to say: Let's not go back, it's good to be here.

But she knew better that Dong Bi would never listen to her.

Because Dong Bi still wants revenge, he still needs to help Liu Bianxing restore the Han Dynasty, and he still needs to...

Before he knew it, Ah Chou was no longer the ignorant boy he remembered, and he was burdened with too many people's expectations.

Sighing lightly, Cai Yan gently stroked Dong Bi's cheek.

She was still ugly, but for some reason, she looked so attractive tonight.

Cai Yan seldom asked about military and political matters.She can only work hard to make this home more comfortable. Whenever Ah Chou comes back from work, he can eat a delicious meal and sleep soundly, Cai Yan feels very satisfied.

But today...

She heard Zhuge Jin whisper in private: "The lord has decided to use troops against Dawan, and he will end the battle before the end of the year."

At that time, Cai Yan still thought it was very strange to use soldiers, and Ah Chou was not a rookie who was just getting involved in the battle, so what's the use of telling me these things?She knew that Zhuge Jin was someone Dong Bi trusted very much, and among Dong Bi's many advisors, Zhuge Jin's family had a long history of education, and he knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he was also the one who could talk to Cai Yan the most.

"Ziyu, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Cai Yan believed that Zhuge Jin would never say useless words to her for no reason.

Sure enough, Zhuge Jin said in a soft voice: "This deployment of troops is no small matter... There are many aspects involved in it, and the relationship is of great importance. This time, the deployment of troops against Dawan will concentrate the elites of the begging army, the Yuanrong army and the Youyi army, my lord. They also asked us to capture Guishan City within 30 days and end the use of troops against Dawan before the beginning of spring."

Cai Yan frowned, "So what?"

"The mistress doesn't know that the most critical part of the use of troops against Dawan this time is the blocking of the Wusun army by the Turgat Mountain Pass..."

Cai Yan was upset, she didn't like Zhuge Jin's hesitant way of speaking.

Where is Turgat Pass?
Cai Yan didn't know, and didn't want to know.She just wants to know now, what does Zhuge Jin mean by saying this?
"Ziyu, just be more straightforward, don't hesitate like this."

Zhuge Jin hesitated for a moment, "My lord will personally lead the troops to stop Wusun's army at the Turgat Pass."

It turned out that Dong Bi was going to fight in person!

Cai Yan thought to himself: I thought it was something, so it turned out to be like this... It's not the first time Ah Chou has done something like this, so what's the fuss about?
She knows Dong Bi very well.

How big is Dong Bi's ability?Cai Yan couldn't tell.But there is one thing that Cai Yan knows, that is, Dong Bi is not a person who likes to sit at home and plan strategies.He likes the feeling of participating in it, likes to take risks, and likes to gallop on the battlefield... If Dong Bi is allowed to stay at home honestly, there will be problems.

With a sigh of relief, Cai Yan smiled and said, "Ziyu, what's the fuss about? You don't understand your lord's temper. He likes to charge forward, and he said that this is called the power of an example. I advise you on this matter." Not him."

Zhuge Jin also sighed.

It is really difficult to talk to this talented mistress.

What kind of temper is Dong Bi?Zhuge Jin more or less understood.Back then, it was not something ordinary people could do if they dared to play games with millions of Taipingdao with dozens of people.But I remember when I met the lord at that time, the lord seemed to like that kind of life very much.But this time, it was different from the previous situation.

Turgat Pass, located in the upper reaches of the Naryn River, is also the dividing point between Wusun and Dawan, and it is the only passage between the two countries.

Except for the Turgat Pass, the only way to enter Dawan is to go around Kangju and cross the Tashkent Mountains.

What does the Tashkent Mountains look like?
Zhuge Jin didn't know either, but only knew that if he wanted to cross the Tashkent Mountains, the price he would have to pay would be extremely astonishing.

Therefore, whether it is Wusun or Kangju, the only way to help Guishan City is through the Turgat Pass.

The problem is that the Qihuo army went out, the Youyi army went out, and the Yuanrong army went out...

Almost all the troops in the central part of the Western Regions were withdrawn.Moreover, Chen Dao's Tabai army will go north out of Jiluosai to attack Jiankun... Although the royal court of the Northern Huns is in Zhizhi City, Jiankun is in the royal court of Zhizhi City. The strength of the Northern Huns made it hard to finish.After all, if Jiankun falls, the Northern Huns will lose face.

The Xuanfeng Army attacked on the Mobei Plateau, and had to face the Xianbei Army of Huchuquan alone.

And Xu Huang's Jiefan Army needed to guard Shuofang, but also to assist the surrendered city, and at the same time respond to the Xuanfeng Army to ensure the stability in the north of Juyan City.Xu Rong's soldiers and horses must gather in Queyin to prevent Ma Teng's troops from attacking from the rear.

It can be said that the troops of the entire Western Regions have been drawn out.

Although Dichi has a garrison army, it must first ensure the safety of the entire Hexi.After all, although those naturalized Qiang people, Di people, and Western Regions people surrendered on the surface, but the time is short, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take advantage of the fire.

In other words, in the blocking battle at the Turgat Pass, apart from Dong Pi's troll warriors and the Beiwei army, there were less than 5000 available soldiers.

And the number of enemy troops that Dong Bi will face will be more than [-]!

Zhuge Jin exhausted his tongue and explained to Cai Yan the danger of the Turgat Pass.

What Cai Yan is talking about is that her face is pale and her six gods have no master.

"Originally, we all agreed to let the lord do this task... But the lord insisted that no one else could take on this task except him. He also said that he would stay at the Turgat Pass for one more day, and we The war against Dawan can be ended by one day sooner... Mistress, you don’t know, the lord was still smiling and said to General Hua, General Huang and others: I believe you generals, I will never let the governor lose his life in Tours Gat Mountain Pass. The sooner you end the war in Dawan, the sooner I will be safe. So, in order not to delay the spring plowing, it is up to me to stop Wusun's army!"

Zhuge Jin imitated Dong Bi's tone of voice at that time, which sounded awkward and ridiculous.

But Cai Yan couldn't laugh!
Put it to death and then live, Ah Chou, Ah Chou, you really like to put yourself to death.But why can't you consider your wife and children?If you are gone, how can the children and I continue to live?

After Zhuge Jin left, Cai Yan sat in the room blankly until Dong Bi came back...

Unexpectedly, Cai Yan did not try to persuade Dong Bi.

Because she is very aware of Ah Chou's bad temper, the things she decides will not be changed, even if it is the king of heaven and Lao Tzu.

Doing her part as a wife, Cai Yan cooks herself and cooks a sumptuous meal.

It wasn't until Dong Bi fell asleep exhausted that she sat beside Dong Bi silently, with tears in her eyes, without saying a word.

"Ah Chou, I know I can't persuade you, and I won't persuade you to leave home in a low mood. But I also hope that you can take care of yourself and think about grandma, me, and our children... This family cannot live without you."

Cai Yan murmured in a low voice, got up and left after a while.

She just walked out of the room when Dong Bi opened her eyes suddenly.Turning over and sitting up from the couch, looking at Cai Yan's back, he sighed softly.

Sister, how have I ever forgotten you?
I know that I have wronged you and the children in the past two years. When the world is peaceful in the future, I will definitely find a way to make up for you.

just now...

Thinking of this, Dong Bi involuntarily closed his eyes gently.

******
Juyan City is majestic and majestic.

The five-foot-high horse-faced wall reveals an unspeakable heroism in the hunting wind, making the city even more imposing.

This most majestic city among the many towns in the four counties of Hexi will always make every newcomer sigh from the bottom of their hearts.Sigh for its majesty, for its prosperity, and of course for its unique steepness.

Xu Shu and Shi Tao were also among the many sighers.

"Is this Juyan City?"

Shi Tao couldn't help admiring: "Compared to Chang'an, it's not much better... Non-martial arts masters, who can build this grand pass?"

As Dong Bi's number one fan, Shi Tao already had too much emotion after entering the four counties of Hexi.

That emotion was so much that the ears of those around him were about to grow calluses!

Hehe, Shi Tao and Xu Shu did not ride here alone.Since they left Xiangyang, they traveled all the way and met many people.Among them, Xiangyang scholar Ma Qiao Ma Boliang and Jiujiang scholar Jiang Gan Jiang Ziyi are the most.

Ma Qiao is 26 years old, with a handsome face and a very dignified appearance.

It's just that his natural balding makes him look like a 41, a bit old-fashioned.

This person is good at political affairs and is very famous.Liu Biao once wanted to conscript him, but he refused on the pretext of his father's new funeral.

In fact, Ma Qiao has already seen that Liu Biao is not the master of great things.

Xu Shu and Shi Tao have known each other for a long time, and their arguments are quite similar, so after Xu and Shi left Lumen Mountain, they were the first to visit Ma Qiao.Hearing that Xu Shu and Shi Tao were going to travel all the way to the Western Regions, Ma Qiao also had the idea of ​​traveling.In addition, they were also curious about Dong Bi, and they hit it off immediately, and the three left Xiangyang together.

Of course, before leaving, he was going to Shuijing Villa to inform Pang Tong.

Unexpectedly, the three met Jiang Gan who had gone out to seek refuge because of the banditry in Jiujiang in Shuijing Villa.

This Jiang Qiansheng is well-groomed and quite eloquent.It's just because of his bad background and frequent wars that he has nowhere to go.According to him, he and Zhou Yu studied together in Lujiang in the early years, so they wanted to try their luck in Yuzhang.

But after thinking about it, now that Jiangdong is fighting frequently and there are many water thieves, he is really...

Therefore, at the instigation of Pang Tong and the others, he simply traveled together with Xu Shu and the other three, and came to the Western Regions to see the customs.

If it's good, stay, if it's bad, just leave.

After the four said goodbye to Pang Tong, they traveled together.It is true that I have gained a lot of knowledge and made a few like-minded friends.

One of them, whose surname is Yue and whose name is Xi, is Yiquan. He is the son of Master Yue, the halberd king of Qingzhou.

I heard that Xu Shu and others were going to Hexi, so Yue Xi followed suit.

However, it was not because he admired Dong Biao, but because he heard that Dong Biao was the number one military general in the world, so he wanted to come to experience it and see if this tiger and wolf general is worthy of his name, or is his name in vain?Xu Shu naturally agreed happily.

Don't forget, Xu Shu also practiced martial arts in his early years.

Although martial arts can't be compared with people like Dong Bi, it's not too bad.

He could see that Yue Xi's martial arts were extremely powerful.Maybe if he goes to Hexi this time, he can bring a strong general to Brother Dong.

As for whether it can be subdued, it depends on Dong Bi's means.

Military generals are different from scribes. A scribe can speak a solid tongue, but making friends with military generals still depends on skill.

In this way, several people traveled all the way west, and when they passed by Jingzhao, they also encountered a caravan.

The caravan came from Mi's house in Xuzhou, and happened to be going to the Western Regions.The two sides hit it off immediately, and Xu Shu and others took a fancy to the large number of caravans, which could hide their identities.As for the people in the caravan, they valued Yue Xi's martial arts and the status of Xu Shu and others.

Along the way, through mountains and rivers, after many hardships, they finally arrived at Juyan City.

In Xu Shu's heart, it was as if the river was overwhelmed.After looking at each other with Shi Tao, he urged his horse to walk towards the city gate.
