As the military supervisor, Wang Fan seized the control of the Tianxiong Army from Ge Boyi. Even in order to avoid suspicion, it was not surprising that he requested to be transferred back to Bianjing. Even if there were no Cai officials in the court, he would try his best to avoid Wang Fan's control of the military and political affairs of the West Wing in Lanzhou. However, no one could deny that Wang Fan recommended the choice of military and political leaders in the West Wing.

Xu Huai thought that Zhu Han would take over Wang Fan in charge of the military and political affairs of the West Wing in Lanzhou, but he calculated it very much, but he never expected that Wang Fan would insist on pulling Zhu Han back to Bianjing because he was afraid of being implicated by them, and recommended Cao Shixiong to take full control of the military and political power of the West Wing.

Wang Bing and Zhu Han made irreparable mistakes at this critical moment.

They actually thought that Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili were cruel to the Khitans, so they must be loyal to Dayue.

Yes, Xu Huai has never expressed any dissatisfaction with Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili brothers in front of others. After all, since the northern expedition to Yan, the performance of Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili brothers has been beyond reproach.

The two Cao brothers raised their butchers' knives to slaughter the Khitan and the miscellaneous captives in Shuozhou, in response to the strong request of Ge Boyi and others.

Even though Ge Boyi repeatedly claimed at this time that this move was advocated by Yue Hailou, who had long been in contact with the enemy, it was because of this move that eventually led to strong resistance from the vassal people in Datong and fell into the calculations of the Khitans, the blame for this aspect could not be attributed to the Cao brothers, nor could he doubt the problems of the Cao brothers based on this.

Cao Shili led the Qing Shun army to raid Datong City with Tianxiong Army, and was able to successfully capture the Shengde Gate at first, so that after entering Datong City, they were all the bravest battles under Cao Shili's troops. Cao Shili was good at using horse spears and iron sterns, and he was indeed brave enough to be able to command troops without stopping by ten thousand men.

If it were other moments, even if Dayue bought horse bones with a wealthy fortune, he would value the Cao brothers instead of being cautious about them, or even using the Cao brothers to deal with the Khitans, there would be no problem.

But the problem is that now, it is necessary and urgent to weigh the biggest variable of Chihu people.

Xu Huai knew that Wang Fan had a lot of opinions about him, but he thought that Wang Bing would not make such a mistake.

He was still wrong in this matter.

He underestimated Wang Bing, and the psychological inertia that the Han people in the world should naturally regard Dayue as the truth, and Han people and Han generals should naturally regard Dayue as the heart.

This strong, self-righteous psychological inertia is often the most deadly and is also the easiest thing that makes people blindly step into the death trap without knowing it.

"Things may not be that bad!" Liu Qiong'er pushed the door and watched Xu Huai sitting in front of the desk, staring at the geometric map and studying. The meat sauce noodles on the desk at noon were only lighter, and at this time they had frozen into a lump of ice.

“I’m afraid it will only be worse,”

Xu Huai raised his head and said frustrated with a haggard face.

"I have always been deducing how the main cavalry of the Chihu people can reach the city of Bianjing as fast as possible, but there were many things that I couldn't understand before. Let's take a look. The Chihu people were originally west of the Daxianbei Mountains and north of the Yin Mountains, and occupied a branch of the northwest Zhufan on the grasslands of the northern desert. Its rapid rise in the past thirty years and was the first to conquer the forces of the northwest Zhufan. The Khitan also fell down completely after losing control of the northwest Zhufan. The Chihu people fell down.

As long as the Linhuang Prefecture, Dading Prefecture, and Liaoyang Prefecture are captured, the foundation of the Khitan will be completely cut off. Next, they have two paths to go south to the Central Plains. One of them gathers troops to quickly defeat the Khitan's remnants in its Nanjing Road, that is, Yanji and other places, and then runs straight from the Hebei Road, which is flat, to the north bank of the Yellow River; the other is to defeat the Khitan's remnants in its Xijing Road, that is, Yunshuo and other places, and go south to the Hedong Road. The core force of the Chihu people is

The Mobei grassland west of the Daxianbei Mountains, after capturing the heart of the Khitan, its main force fought outside for a long time, and it was bound to return to the tribes west of the Daxianbei Mountains to rest and settle down. After its main force replenishes its troops, it is undoubtedly the most convenient to move from the southeast of the Yunshuo River. But the problem is that from Yunshuo to Hedong, then from Hedong, and directly into the north bank of the Yellow River, there are many mountains and mountains, and its main cavalry is not good at siegeing the city and trapping the basement. How can it be fast

Quickly pass? No matter how bad the Great Vietnamese imperial guards are, they can't easily break through the cavalry of the Chihu people, right? So I have always tended to think that the Chihu people would probably go far and away, so that the main troops after resting and travel thousands of miles to the south from Yanji - until two days ago, Lu Xiong came over and told me that Wang Fan recommended Cao Shixiong to take charge of Lanzhou and Tianxiong's army. The last puzzle of fate in the whole thing seems to be complete in my opinion!"

"You said Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili's surrender to the enemy will quickly open the passage to the south for the Chihu cavalry?" Liu Qiong'er gritted her teeth and asked in shock with a bleak look on her face, "Isn't all our previous deployments going to be overthrown?"

"Maybe this is the trajectory of fate that Dayue is destined to be unchanged," said Xu Huai. "If the Chihu people really wanted to go southeast of the Yunshuo River, it would be impossible to wait until the army entered the Huihe Valley before persuading Cao Shixiong. The two brothers of Cao Shili will inevitably take action immediately after their strategy of going south is determined. This also means that even if we want to escape from this mud, the passage to retreat south will be blocked by Cao Shixiong and Cao Shili brothers of Cao Shili in advance!"

Even if the inevitability of Cao Shixiong's revenge for the enemy was not considered, the Cao brothers were ambitious and conspirators. Their military and political power in the West Wing Lanzhou was also completely different from that in Zhu Han, the situation faced by the three thousand Tongbaishan soldiers in Shuozhou.

First of all, Cao Shixiong had the Qing Shun Army and tens of thousands of Han people who moved south, as the foundation, as well as Cao Shili, Meng Ping and other civil and military generals. His mastery of Lanzhou and Tianxiong Army must be extremely deep, and he could easily squeeze Jie Zhong, Zhu Run, Lei Teng and others into the corner to sit on the bench.

Of course, Xu Huai could not listen to Cao Shixiong's orders, but would a person like Cao Shixiong take the initiative because the Tongbai Mountain soldiers did not obey them?

Xu Huai now must consider that Cao Shixiong would directly cut off the supply of food, grass, weapons and military supplies to Shuozhou. However, Xu Huai had no time and energy to sue Cao Shixiong for several months. He even wanted to withdraw Zhufengtang's power in Lanzhou in advance to avoid retaliation from Cao Shixiong.

The conflict between them and Cao Shixiong became sharp, and the caravans in Zhufengtang should not be able to pass through Lanzhou.

Tens of thousands of Han people in Shuozhou have evacuated. They have no food to collect from the vicinity of Shuozhou City, and there are more than 4,000 Hu women and children, but they still have to help them. If they do nothing, they are expected to lose food in Shuozhou in two months.

In short, the situation they faced at this time was much more difficult than expected.

"Zheng Tu has seen Yan Xiaoyi, Shen Zhene and others come back. Yan Xiaoyi and Shen Zhene did not directly agree to stay. Maybe hesitate!" Liu Qiong'er said, holding Xu Huai's shoulder.

Wang Fan formed a personal guard camp in Ningwu, appointed Zheng Shou and Wang Kong as the general, and Wang Kong pulled Yan Xiaoyi, Shen Zhene and other old friends over.

At that time, Wang Fan did need some trustworthy personnel around him. Xu Huai could not compete with Wang Fan at that time, but the situation was completely different at the moment. Wang Kong acted according to the rules, and Xu Huai never thought of persuaded Wang Kong to come to Shuozhou, but Yan Xiaoyi and Shen Zhenye had to fight for it.

So after refusing Lu Xiong to enter Shuozhou City, Xu Huai asked Zheng Tu to go to Kelan to find Yan and Shen. However, some words cannot be said thoroughly. It is really unknown whether Yan Xiaoyi and Shen Zhenye will stay.

"The son is too bullying! If it weren't for Yan Xiaoyi and Shen Zhenye coming to say goodbye, I wouldn't know that my father sent Brother Lu to Shuozhou this time and even failed to enter the city gate! Father, tell me what his attitude is, and is he going to break off his affection with my Wang family? Could it be that I am a military commander who recommends the generals in Lanzhou to the court and obey him? Father, don't indulge this son anymore. I think it's time for us to break away from him like this. It's okay if he doesn't take me Wang Fan seriously. How could he take the court seriously at all? How could a person like him not cause a big disaster? If we can't get entangled with them, we will inevitably be defeated by them!"

The two maids heard Wang Fan's roar in the lobby and grabbed Wang Xuan, who was rinsing the tears and dragged him out, and said anxiously: "Miss, we can't eavesdrop on any more. If the master saw it, you will be fine, but we can't escape the beating - Miss Xuan, don't harm us!"

Wang Xuan wiped away the tears from her cheeks and walked to the side yard with her maid. After walking a few steps, she ran into Zhu Zhi. The Zhu Tong brothers were about to come.

"Mr. Lu went to Shuozhou City to send a message for his grandfather, but he couldn't even enter the city gate. Wang Xuan, have you heard of this? Xu Huai is too arrogant. The key is that this guy is not enough. This guy is actually thinking about digging the walls of our two families - Wang Xuan, are you angry, but you don't know that Yan Xiaoyi, Chen Zhenye, are you going to Shuozhou to collude with a gangster like drinking a magic soup. These guys are really born sluts, and they are all traitors!" Zhu Tong ignored Zhu Zhi's embarrassing stop, but blocked Wang Xuan with anger on his face.

Wang Xuan ignored Zhu Tong and walked straight to the side courtyard.

When it was late at night, a bag was thrown out of the yard, and then a figure poked out from the wall. Seeing that there was no figure at both ends of the alley, there was a silence around. When the figure was about to climb out of the wall, it suddenly saw a bottle of figure sitting at the foot of the wall. I don’t know how long I had been sitting, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the straw raincoat. At this time, I was looking up at her.

"Uncle Lu, why haven't you rested?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise while riding on the wall.

"At this time, Shuozhou is more than 120 miles away, but the war is in chaos. Forty or fifty miles there are vast snowy fields. I wonder how many Khitan scouts appear. Miss Xuan, how can you go to Shuozhou?" Lu Xiong asked sighed.

"I'll look for Yan Xiaoyi and Chen Zhene go to Shuozhou together," Wang Xuan said, "Uncle Lu, you won't stop me, right?"

Lu Xiong sighed: "Yan Xiaoyi, Chen Zhenye is going to surrender to Shuozhou, your father is so angry that he stamped his feet, but he gave up. If he took you to Shuozhou and your father ordered him to be arrested and you were going to kill them? It's not that Uncle Lu must stop you, but that's because my husband guessed that you would climb over the wall and escape, and asked Uncle Lu to stay here, you wouldn't have any place to stand in the Wang family, right?"

"Has Xu Huaizhen done something wrong?" Wang Xuan sat on the wall in dismay and asked.

"It may be that we are very wrong, but who knows - Uncle Lu has lived for most of his life and saw many people who have different opinions and become enemies. No one would think that he was wrong and could only wait for time to prove everything. Or in the end, no one could prove the other party wrong, so he would definitely be right. Anyway, Uncle Lu, I am not the very smart person." Lu Xiong sighed.

"Xu Huai drove you back. Do you hate Xu Huai? Are you angry?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Uncle Lu is so old that he is not that young," said Lu Xiong. "Grandma, hurry up and go back to the house to sleep. Uncle Lu will be angry. Don't get cold!"
