When Xuanyuan Shao entered the house and saw Ding Wu, it was already half an hour later, but for a soldier like Xuanyuan Shao, waiting outside the courtyard for half an hour was just a piece of cake. .

Before Dingwu summoned Xuanyuanshao, Liuli had already returned from the pharmacy and helped Dingwu change into a set of clothes. Compared with the former emperor Xunyuan, Dingwu was more casual in terms of clothing.

When the first emperor summoned his courtiers, he either wore a brightly colored dragon robe or an elegant Taoist robe, which was rarely for show. When Dingwu summoned his courtiers, he usually wore casual clothes most of the time.

"I bow to the Holy One." Xuanyuan Shao took two steps forward and was about to kneel down to salute. Dingwu had already raised his hand and said softly: "Xuanyuan, there are only you and Zhen here. I have told you many times that when only we are here, there is no need Here are the etiquettes." Glancing at Liuli next to her, she said with a smile, "Lady Liuli is someone close to me, so there is no need to be jealous."

"Thank you, Lord!"

"Liu Li, move a stool for Commander Xuanyuan." Ding Wu ordered.

Liuli took a stool from the side and sent it over, Xuanyuan Shao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, madam." Liuli smiled softly, like a spring breeze, returned to Dingwu, and said softly: "My lord, you and Commander Xuanyuan have something to talk about, The concubine will leave first."

"No need." Ding Wu shook his head and said, "Whether it's you or Xuanyuan, you are the person I trust the most, so don't shy away from it. Besides, you are smart and intelligent, and if you really want something, you can also help me come up with ideas."

Liuli hesitated, but Dingwu had already asked Xuanyuanshao: "Xuanyuan, you are in a hurry to see me, but what is the hurry?"

"Your Majesty, Wen Pu sent someone to send the military report." Xuanyuan Shao said: "Just a few days ago, the Liaodong Army suddenly gathered in Jinjun, Pingzhou. When the military report was delivered, at least [-] Liaodong Army had already assembled. Arrived in Yanshan area of ​​Jinjun." Xuanyuan Shao looked solemn, Wen Pu sent spies to investigate, not only assembled soldiers and horses in Yanshan area, but also transported logistics supplies to Yanshan area, and even recruited hunters in Yanshan area to join the army. "

"Yanshan?" Dingwu frowned, "You mean that Chiliandian is planning to rebel and attack Hexi?"

Wen Pu was originally Xiaowei of the Royal Guards. He was able to sit in the position of Xiaowei. He was a seasoned veteran. After Dingwu took over the Hexi Army, he dispatched many troops to gather at the border between Hexi and Liaodong. , although many generals in Hexi had surrendered to Qin, Dingwu naturally would not trust them, so Wen Pu was transferred from the Guards to serve as the general on the eastern border.

Recently, Wenpu's main task is to build a defense line along the border. The mountains in the east of Hexi are undulating and have a natural defensive barrier. The largest Yanshan Mountain straddles Hexi and Liaodong. It is to take advantage of such terrain to deploy soldiers and horses in various dangerous passes.

From the very beginning, Hexi faced the Liaodong army with a weak attitude, and never thought about launching an offensive against Liaodong. Wenpu will be able to hold the eastern front line, and he will make great contributions.

Fan Wuqi, who defected from Liaodong earlier, claimed that Mo Wuyi, the commander of Chibei Tuqi, led a group of generals of Chibei Tuqi to launch a mutiny in Liaodong and controlled the political situation in Liaodong. Wu is naturally skeptical about this. Although Fan Wuqi has repeatedly suggested that the three cavalry in Liaodong have civil strife and the situation in Liaodong is in turmoil. They should take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to send troops to Liaodong to control the situation in Liaodong in one fell swoop. , then easily sent troops to Liaodong.

Dingwu knew very well that once the Hexi army crossed Yanshan Mountain and entered the ground of Liaodong, they would have to face off with the Liaodong army. If, as Fan Wuqi said, they could take advantage of the chaos and control the situation in Liaodong, then the situation would be great. , the hope of revitalizing the Qin State will also be greatly increased, but he is more aware that once he cannot control Liaodong and falls into the trap set by Liaodong, then all the capital he has finally obtained will be lost, and all previous efforts will also be lost. All previous efforts have been wasted, and there is no hope for the revival of Qin.

It is precisely because he only has this capital in his hands at the moment, Ding Wu dare not put all his eggs in one basket and take a big gamble.

It's just that at this moment, when I heard that the Liaodong Army has started to gather in the Yanshan area of ​​Jinjun, Ding Wu felt a little surprised. He thought to himself that if Mo Wuyi really usurped power, it would be impossible to completely control Liaodong in this short period of time. He said that what should be done should be to secure one's own territory first, rather than eagerly launching a war abroad.

Xuanyuan Shao naturally knew about Fan Wuqi's coming to defect, and said solemnly: "My lord, if the situation is true, then Fan Wuqi is indeed a spy sent by Chiliandian, the purpose is to lure us into a trap."

"Oh?" Although Ding Wu was planning in his heart, his face was still very calm: "Xuanyuan, why do you think so?"

"My lord, logically speaking, if everything is as Fan Wuqi said, Mo Wuyi would never send troops to Hexi easily at this time." Xuanyuan Shao said: "Although Mo Wuyi is the number one general under Chi Liandian, he is not Red Refining Electricity, the prestige of Red Refining Electricity can suppress Liaodong, but Mo Wuyi cannot do this."

Dingwu nodded and said: "Chiliandian covers the sky with one hand in Liaodong. If Mo Wuyi has the prestige that can replace Chiliandian, or even threatens the status of Chiliandian, Mo Wuyi will not survive today."

Xuanyuan Shao said: "The sage is wise, so I think that even if Mo Wuyi has gained military power and controlled the Liaodong Army, as long as he is smart, he must first stabilize Liaodong. Even if he can't buy people's hearts, he should at least place his cronies in the army." Various places in Liaodong, and in order not to cause another change in Liaodong, these things should not be done too hastily."

Ding Wu nodded and said: "What you said is very true."

"I think that he not only wants to stabilize Liaodong, but also guards against our Daqin sending troops to quell the chaos." Xuanyuan Shao said: "Since Mo Wuyi is the number one general under Chi Liandian's command, he is not too stupid. You know, at a time like this, not only can you not do anything to provoke me, Daqin, but you even have to send people to pay homage."

Ding Wu heard the words, but showed a smile, and said: "Xuanyuan, what you said is exactly what I thought. In fact, after Fan Wuqi came, I have been waiting. As long as what Fan Wuqi said is true, Mo Wuyi is very likely He will send people to Hexi to pay homage to me, and even beg me to canonize him as governor of Liaodong." A contemptuous smile appeared on his lips, "Of course he doesn't really want to submit to me, but I just think that he should think of using my name to sit down. Really Liaodong."

Xuanyuan Shao said: "Your Majesty is wise, but the fact is not the case now, the Liaodong Army has started to gather in Yanshan, and what they are doing is obviously not for bluffing."

"Allocate food and supplies to Yanshan, and even recruit mountain people to join the army." Dingwu sneered: "Of course this is really preparing to invade Hexi. Mountain people are good at walking in the mountains, and they are familiar with the terrain in the mountains, so they recruited mountain people to join the army. , At that time, we were ready to invade Hexi."

Xuanyuan Shaodao: "So I thought that Fan Wuqi was just a spy sent by Chiliandian, and wanted to lure our army to take advantage of the situation to attack, but we have not made any movement, Chiliandian couldn't bear it, knowing that we had seen through his trajectory, he was very angry. Next, we are ready to send troops."

"Xuanyuan, logically speaking, your guess should not be wrong." Ding Wudao: "Only when Chi Liandian still controls the situation in Liaodong, the Liaodong Army dares to gather troops, but... I still feel that this There are some problems in the middle."

"What did the Holy One say?"

"Chi Liandian has been on the battlefield for a long time. In today's world, there are very few soldiers who can compete with him in battle." Dingwu said slowly: "Even if he is still alive, he still holds the military power in Liaodong, but why would he fight against him at this time? I, Hexi, launched an offensive?" His eyes were sharp, like the edge of a knife, "Chi Liandian is not a fool, he sent troops to Fukaidao before, and now it seems that he didn't really want to suppress the rebellion for the court, but to compete with King Qingtian for territory... ...!" After pondering for a moment, he said softly: "The mob of King Qingtian is not an opponent of the Liaodong Army at all. Suddenly stopped the attack..., and then set up a trap, trying to lure me to send troops to Liaodong, but failed, but to mobilize troops and horses to attack Hexi...!" At this point, he stopped and stared Looking into Xuanyuan Shao's eyes, he asked, "Xuanyuan, do you think this is normal?"

Xuanyuan Shao didn't answer right away, but was silent for a moment before replying: "Reporting to the Holy One, Chi Liandian left Qingtian King alone and pointed the finger at Hexi, which is really weird from a rational point of view."

"It's not weird, but stupid." Ding Wu said lightly: "He has been in the battlefield for a long time, so he should be able to judge that even if I use troops, I will only deal with Chu Huan first, and will not do anything to him for the time being, and he happens to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with Chu Huan. Opportunity, swallow Fuhai Road and control the salt road to the east. Liaodong has nearly [-] infantry and cavalry, and it is impossible to support it with Liaodong alone. It took Fuhai Road and controlled the Fuhai Road Wharf Salt Field. With the financial and material resources of the two , and can barely support it for a few years, Chi Liandian will not understand this truth."

Xuanyuan Shao immediately understood, and his eyes showed a puzzled look: "That's right, if Chiliandian wants to guarantee the supply of the Liaodong Army, it must expand its territory, and the directions he can expand are nothing more than three roads, Koryo in the east, Hexi in the west, and Fuhai in the south. Whether it is Hexi or Koryo, it will be a bloody battle if you want to win, and you may not be able to secure the victory. On the contrary, Fuhai Road, Qingtian King's troops are far from enough to compete with the Liaodong Army , and there is a salt mine in Fuhai Road, as long as the brain is normal, anyone will choose Fuhai."

"That's why I said that Chi Liandian suddenly left Fuhai in disregard, and turned to use troops against Hexi. That's not weird, but stupid. If he has already controlled Fuhai Road, and then set up a trap to get his thoughts on Hexi, I I also think it's reasonable, but Fu Hai didn't control it, but he seems to want to deal with Hexi with all his strength, which is beyond stupid." Dingwu's eyes flashed, "But based on my understanding of Chiliandian, he is not only not stupid, but also He is very cunning, and he would never make such a stupid strategic mistake...!" His eyes became deep, as if he was talking to Xuanyuan Shao, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "What happened in Hexi? ...dead or mad, what the hell is he up to?"
