...

On October 18th, in the Jinzhongguan Conference Hall...

Bai Qi lived and the side seat. On the main seat was Jiang Wenyuan, the general of Jin Chong Pass, Xia Yu, Tian Yan, Zhuge Zhi and Gongsun Yu, and the generals of Liangzhou, as well as Li Nong, the principal of Wei.

At this time, they focused their eyes on Lin Zhao and Ding Nian who came to report military information in the middle of the hall...

"...A large number of Mengluo soldiers were rushing to Liangzhou at the junction of Lingxia. Judging from the information they received, there were no less than 30,000 troops. However, according to the estimate of the last general, this is probably just the vanguard of the Mengluo people. It is not ruled out that more enemies will be hovering in the rear."

Ding Nian told everyone in the hall without missing a word of the military information he learned.

After listening to Ding Nian's words, everyone in the conference hall looked different, and Jiang Wenyuan's eyebrows tightened, making the wrinkles on his old face deeper.

Even Xia Yu and Tian Yan looked worried. At this moment, they were secretly wondering if it was too hasty to lead troops to Liangzhou?

The other Liangzhou generals were in a very heavy mood, and the palms of Dazai Li Nong had already been soaked in sweat.

Only Zhuge Zhi, Bai Qi and Gongsun Yu remained calm, especially Bai Qi, whose eyes were filled with a faint bloodthirsty light.

After a long silence, Jiang Wenyuan shook his head and sighed: "What should I do now? The Mengluo people are extremely fierce. Murong's body is notorious outside the frontier. If there is any mistake in the pass, how can I explain to the Heavenly King..."

At this time, Jiang Wenyuan did not know that Wei Min was defeated and killed, and was afraid that Wei Min would be punished if he was improperly defending the city.

At this time, Bai Qi spoke comforting and said, "General Jiang, don't be nervous. Our Yongzhou army assists your country in defending the border in order to prevent this situation today.

I believe that you and our army share the same hatred of the enemy and will definitely block the Monroe people outside Liangzhou..."

"What you said is light..." Jiang Wenyuan did not accept Bai Qi's consolation. Hearing this, he said to Bai Qi in a tone of an experienced person, "You are young, and you really don't know how scary the Monroe people are. Is this Monroe people so easy to deal with?

The Khan is here... Yuan Haotian is also a hero. Even a powerful person like him dare not turn against the Monroe. This is enough to show how terrible the Monroe is..."

Bai Qi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, why did the king of your country dare to go out to confront the Monroe? Isn't the general's words arousing others' arrogance?"

Jiang Wenyuan nodded and said, "Actually, I am opposed to the King of Heaven going out, but no one in the Wei Kingdom can persuade him to move the King of Heaven, alright..."

Zhuge Zhi, who had been shaking the feather fan lightly, suddenly spoke out: "Generals, now it is not an opportunity to talk about these irrelevant trivial matters. Now that the army of aliens is approaching, we can no longer waste our time.

It’s better to turn the focus on how to retreat to the enemy, and at the same time, we must also make the worst plans. Once the war breaks out, there will be no way out to retreat.”

When everyone heard this, they began to discuss strategies to fight against the enemy. The palace hall was filled with a "happy atmosphere".

Zhuge Zhi glanced around the hall of the mansion, nodded to Gongsun Yu, stood up and came to Li Nong and Bai Qi, whispered: "Dazai Li, the governor of the county, can you use one step to speak..."

The two followed Zhuge Zhi to the outside of the hall. Without waiting for them to ask, Zhuge Zhi turned around and said directly to Li Nong: "Li Taizai, after thinking about it, he decided to tell you something. I just hope that Li Taizai can stay calm after listening..."

Li Nongying said: "Secretary Zhuge, please speak..."

Zhuge Zhi gently shook his feather fan and said, "Yesterday, I came from Linzhao and learned that the king of your country is probably in danger..."

Upon hearing this bad news, Li Nong stood there immediately, staring at Zhuge Zhi in a daze, and finally confirmed from Zhuge Zhi's eyes that this was not a joke, but a bloody reality.

"How could it be, the king of heaven..." Li Nong closed his eyes in pain, but still couldn't accept such a result.

Zhuge Zhi did not comfort Li Nong, but said calmly: "Dazai Li, you don't have time to be sad now. There is still a lot of things you have to do. The reason why I told you this news is to ask you to cooperate with the soldiers guarding the pass to stabilize the morale of the soldiers."

Li Nong took a deep breath, tried to calm his mood, and said to Zhuge Zhi: "If what Zhuge Chief Executive said is true, how should I cooperate with you?

Concealing the death of the Heavenly King? The Monroe army is about to come to the city. They will definitely announce the death of the Heavenly King. I am afraid..."

Zhuge Zhi said: "It doesn't take too long to ensure that the defenders in the pass are consistently facing the outside world before the fortifications are arranged. Five days, only five days."

Li Nong pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, if it is only five days, it is not advisable to do it later. I will urge Jiang Wenyuan and the others to step up the arrangement of defensive fortifications to ensure that Jinzhong Pass is foolproof."

After Li Nong left, Zhuge Zhi looked at Bai Qi again, took out a book of appointment from his arms and handed it to him and said with a smile: "Mr. Bai, I want to congratulate you first. The King of Han decided to order you to be the Northwest Governor General.

In charge of Northwest military affairs, from now on, you have been from the second-rank military rank..."

After hearing this, Bai Qi immediately opened the document book and confirmed that it was indeed Liu Ce's appointment letter. His face was filled with joy. Even the appointment letter stayed on Zhuge Zhi for half a month and didn't care.

"well……"

But Zhuge Zhi sighed helplessly.

Bai Qi calmed down and held the document firmly in his hand. Then he asked, "Why did General Zhuge sigh?"

"I am afraid that General Bai will not be able to take this appointment, otherwise I will not keep this book for you for half a month." Zhuge Zhi said.

Bai Qi frowned, then bowed and said, "Zhuge Chief Secretary, you and I are friends, so don't keep it..."

Zhuge Zhi then explained: "Then please let General Bai look carefully at the appointment of the King of Han to you. The above letter is not the commander of the governor of Yongzhou, but the entire Northwest military affairs. Do you understand the intention of the King of Han to your appointment?"

Bai Qi looked through the appointment book again, and then suddenly realized: "I understand that the northwest military affairs also include Liangzhou. Don't worry, Liangzhou will definitely take it down."

Zhuge Zhi shook his head: "If General Bai thinks so, then I suggest that you reply to the King of Han as soon as possible, and you cannot handle this important task."

"Um?"

Bai Qi suddenly looked puzzled, hoping that Zhuge Zhi could give him an answer.

Zhuge Zhi said: "Northwest not only includes the Central Plains, but the desert outside the Great Wall also applies to the Northwest. Do you understand that?"

"I understand it later!"

Bai Qi finally understood that Liu Ce was planning to expand outward, which made him feel excited.

But Zhuge Zhi's next words were like a basin of cold water poured on Bai Qi's head.

"But over the past few days, I have been worried about General Bai's performance in the army. You are the chief general of the Yongzhou border, but you always have to look at the faces of the generals in Yongzhou.

For example, this time, how much work did you do to get Yongzhou soldiers and horses to Liangzhou with you? 50,000 defenders, and in the end, only 10,000 troops went to war with you.

Do you know this result that King Han knew, would you suspect that you did not have enough prestige in the army and could not convince the public, and would you be particularly disappointed then?"

Bai Qi fell into deep thought. As a general in the army, he understood what Zhuge Zhi said, but was it so easy for those arrogant soldiers and generals in Yongzhou to control?

Zhuge Zhi continued: "General Bai, the King of Han hopes to see a general who can stand alone, rather than a military officer who is controlled everywhere.

Whether you can be competent for the Northwest Temperor depends on your performance in this trip to Liangzhou. Now that I have finished speaking, how to do it, please consider it carefully..."

Looking at Zhuge Zhi's departure, Bai Qi tightly squeezed the appointment book in his hand. At this moment, he had made a decision in his heart.

...

"Xilulu..."

Ten miles away from Jinzhong Pass, Murong Sheng's army arrived and began to set up camps. From a distance, there was a wonder of people and horses resting until they reached the end of the sky, and it seemed that they would never see the bottom.

"Ha, look at this horse, it's really taller than the horses on our grassland..."

An alien The Legend of the Condor He stroked a good horse in the Western Regions and couldn't let go of it, and he was full of praise.

After the four states outside the Great Wall were controlled by Murong's troops, they naturally took over the large number of horse farms. The troops in the army allocated different numbers of Western Regions war horses, which made the grassland ethnic group that was already good at fighting immediately.

In addition, they are about to enter the hinterland of Liangzhou. The soldiers of the tens of thousands of people in the Zhenglan Banner Army are filled with the light of happiness. They look forward to the city breaking and robbing to make up for the torment they have suffered in the northwest over the years.

However, unlike the "simplicity" of ordinary alien soldiers, the main generals Murong Sheng and his superiors were not so optimistic because they also received a piece of information yesterday.

That is, Waxsi and Mumaiti's troops were all killed, and the bodies were piled up in the mountains. When Murong Sheng's people discovered it, many of the bodies had been gnawed and destroyed by wild wolves and dogs.

This is a bad premonition. The death of Vaxy and Mumaiti did not cause any turmoil in Murong Sheng's heart. What made Murong Sheng worried was that from the traces left on the scene, the troops who killed Mumaiti, the Western Regions soldiers did not seem to have any casualties.

This can be judged by the fact that the weapons left behind by these Western Region soldiers were not stained with blood. If this is the case, it means that there may be another Liangzhou army wandering outside the frontier, and it is an extremely terrifying army.

Therefore, Murong Sheng had to be careful of this unexpected situation, but it also made him feel a little exhausted. After all, it was the top priority to seize the Jinzhong Pass, and no accidents could occur at this critical moment.

"Bless the Mother of Earth, let me pass that level smoothly, and it is not in vain for the efforts of my Murong clan over the years..."

Looking at the vague outline of the majestic pass in the distance, Murong Sheng grabbed the wolf teeth hanging on his chest and silently prayed not to happen again.
