Sichuan, Wanzhou.±

Lu Wenhuan walked around his own government office. For a military general, this eagerness that looked like an ant on a hot pan was really out of place.

However, the same news brought by Liang Chongru, the deputy commander of the Imperial Provisional and Fushima Office, and Lu Shihu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Pili Navy, was too shocking. Lu Wenhuan, who has always been known for his "cautiousness" in military use, has not jumped in a hurry, which is really impressive.

Several of the Lu family's confidant backbones were also in the yamen hall at this moment. Looking at Lu Wenhuan's anxious look, his face was full of worry.

Although Chen Dexing had already expressed his willingness to block the Khan of the Tartars at all costs to the west of Nantuochang, he used 8,000 people to block 100,000 people, and 100,000 Tatars. How could this matter be unreliable? In today's world, can there be a Song army that fought more than a dozen Tartars?

Chen Dexing was completely confused. The eight thousand people from the Pili Navy in front of the imperial army were considered to be completely destroyed. They could block the Tartars for three days, no, two days would be a miracle.

Without these 8,000 elite soldiers, although Lu Wenhuan still has no less than 40,000 people, but after deducting the vacancy, the old and weak and the soldiers who mixed their military pay, I don’t know if there are 15,000 people. Chen Dexing’s reckless behavior is equivalent to making Lu Wenhuan’s available soldiers lose one-third at once! How can this not make Lu Wenhuan furious?

Chen Dexing was naturally wiped out, and then he relied on 15,000 elite soldiers, 20,000 elderly and weak soldiers, and the refugees who hired to make up for the headspace. Can he stop the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Tartar Khan?

This is obviously impossible!

I'm afraid that the Khan of the Tartars's Nine-Go White Crown was on the top of the mountain outside Wanzhou City, and the more than 40,000 troops in Wanzhou City would be frightened. Wanzhou is not Diaoyu City. Although the terrain is dangerous, the city is not strong, and the material reserves are not rich. If surrounded by the Tartars, the food will be exhausted at most in one month. Wanzhou City cannot be defended!

Once Wanzhou fails, the Song army either retreats to the Three Gorges and holds Kuimen, or simply withdraws from Sichuan to defend Jinghu Lake with all their might. I will not say how bad the overall situation is, but this is not something that Lu Wenhuan really cares about. This is his own concern for the grandpa Jia Sidao.

What Lu Wenhuan really thinks now is how to preserve the glory and wealth of the Lu family. The Lu family is a general, and the foundation of the wealth of the general is nothing more than the army! More than 40,000 people in Wanzhou and ten thousand Lu family troops in Jiangling, gathering less than 60,000 troops is the foundation of the Lu family! Once lost, what is left of the Lu family in Anfeng?

Lu Wenhuan, who had been walking back and forth in the festival hall, had no idea how long it had been to go back and forth in the festival hall. Lu Shihu, Liang Chongru and a group of Lu family members were dizzy when they saw it. The sound of boots from outside made Lu Wenhuan stop. The guards of the Lu family lifted the curtain and saw a long man with five beards walking in quickly. Seeing Lu Wenhuan, he bowed his hand.

"The last general Zhang Shijie was ordered to bring the 1,500-year-old man from Wuding's Right Army. How to call him is based on the orders of the Assassin (Lu Wenhuan has the official title of the Assassin)."

The Wuding Army was also an army controlled by Lu Wende, but it was not a direct lineage of the Lu family. Most of the soldiers and generals were Han people from the north, and half were natives from Suizhou and Huangzhou. They were indeed not the same as the Lu family army from the Huai River. However, most of the Han people from the north had no family concerns, and most of them had deep hatred with the Tartars, so they were braver in fighting than the Southern Army. At this time, the army composed of the first generation of Han people from the north was almost all elite troops who could fight.

The 1,500 people of the Wuding Right Army were no exception. They were a trump card in Lu Wende's hands. This time, they were sent to Sichuan to prepare to join the Pili Navy. Of course, the purpose was to help Lu Shihu, the second-generation general of the Lu family. Although Lu Shihu was a veteran of the Pili Navy (including the predecessor Running Army) when it was founded, there were no close friends in the Pili Navy. Most of the officers who had some friendship with Lu Shihu had just drank a few times of wine. They were far inferior to Chen Dexing's foundation in the army.

Therefore, after obtaining Jia Sidao's consent, Lv Wende sent the Right Army of the Wuding Army led by the powerful general Zhang Shijie, and at the same time increased the quota of the Pili Navy in front of the imperial front to 12,000.

"Uncle Six, Nantuo is in danger now. Should you let Commander Zhang leave immediately?" Lu Shihu was ordered to return to Wanzhou for help, but after all, Lu Wenhuan refused to let go. Now seeing Zhang Shijie, who was planning to control himself, he couldn't help but ask.

"This..." Lu Wenhuan just shook his head. If the battle in Nantuo could win, the 1,500 people would be sent. After all, the Pili Navy will be the Lu family's soldiers sooner or later. But the problem is that the battle in Nantuo will be defeated, and the Pili Navy will be defeated. At this time, the troops will not be sent to fight the dog? But if there is no one soldier, when the Nantuo army is defeated, Chen Dexing will be defeated and the overall situation in Sichuan will collapse, who will take responsibility for this crime? Lu Wende naturally cannot move, but Lu Wenhuan... will inevitably be dismissed and lost his official position! Thinking of this, his eyes unconsciously turned to Liang Chongru, who was the senator of the Xuanfu Department.

"The governor, the subordinates thought that Nantuo still had to guard." Liang Chongru stood up and bowed to Lv Wende. "The east of Sichuan is blocked from the left of Jinghu Lake, and Wanzhou is the gateway of East Sichuan, and Nantuo, Fengdu is the gateway of Wanzhou. Now Wanzhou is not well reserved, the city is not strong, and the Yangtze River is not blocked, so it is all time to prepare. The soldiers of the envoys can not arrive in ten days to support the downstream. Therefore, Fengdu must guard Nantuo."

"How to defend?" Lu Wenhuan was upset and had no idea for a moment, so he asked Liang Chongru back.

Liang Chongru smiled proudly and said, "Chen Gong's guards can be divided into two groups, with 4,000 people guarding Nantuo, and 4,000 people guarding the right army with 1,500 people guarding Fengdu, and the deputy commander Lu is controlled to be the force of a horn."

"What? Only 9,000 and still divided into two groups? Isn't this going to kill the children?" Before Lu Wenhuan could speak, Zhang Shijie started yelling first, "We Wuding Right Army cannot fight such a battle, nor can we fight!"

Liang Chongru glanced at the military man from the north with some disgust, and said to Lu Wenhuan, who was hesitating, "Governor, let the Pili Navy and Wuding Right Army guard Nantuo, there is no risk in Fengdu. Because the Pili Navy has the advantage of warships, if it is defeated, you can get on the boat and leave. There is no need to defend it all the time." He paused and said, "Besides, Nantuo is in the west, Fengdu is east, and Fengdu's troops only cover the back road of Nantuo, so that it can delay it for a few more days."

"If it is not good, can you really leave?" Zhang Shijie asked without hesitation. He is a Han native in the northern region and has worked in the Zhang family's team in Shuntian. He is inevitably infected with the habit of some northern regions of warriors despising scholars - in the northern region, warriors can hold troops and control the people like kings. No matter how good the articles of scholars are, they are just military servants and staff. There is absolutely no saying that using literature to control military officials!

Lu Wenhuan frowned: "Shijie, is Senator Liang a disciple of Xuan Xiang or a Jinshi who sang the title outside Donghua Gate!"

"Oh." Zhang Shijie just nodded, and did not show much respect. In the north, no Han army's thousand-household family would take any disciple seriously.

Liang Chongru took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and smiled reluctantly and said, "How can't you leave? Fengdu blocked Wanzhou, just set up defenses for Wanzhou for a few days. The general's 1,500 heroes are elite, so they cannot be left in Fengdu."

Zhang Shijie looked at Lu Wenhuan. Lu Wenhuan was silent for a while and thought clearly that it was impossible to abandon Wanzhou. Not to mention that Jia Sidao refused, even his elder brother Lu Wende would have to turn against each other! What he could do now is to use the Pili Navy as a abandoned son and delay for a while. At the same time, some people were assigned from the Pili Navy to hand it over to Lu Shihu. When Chen Dexing was defeated, Lu Shihu could take over the troops naturally. This is also a solution, which is better than losing all the 8,000 people of the Pili Navy.
