But it is really not an easy thing to achieve.

"Teacher, please tell me how we can stop them?"

"Well, now that the northern barbarians have arrived at the city, it is impossible to stop them. Therefore, the best way to prevent the two sides from joining forces is to prevent the Hu tribe from the Western Regions from continuing to advance eastward."

After a pause, Taoist Priest Qinglian walked around while stroking his beard.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "When the bad commander Feng Hao returned to Chang'an, Shazhou and Guazhou should still be in the hands of the Zhou Dynasty. This means that Yumen Pass and Yang Pass are also in our hands."

Zhao Xun nodded instinctively.

"Yes, these two levels are still in our hands."

"This is it."

Wu Quanyi nodded and said: "Did you know that Yumen Pass and Yang Pass are collectively known as the two great passes outside the Great Wall. Their biggest feature is that they are extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack. In this regard, I am afraid that only Jianmen Pass in Sichuan can compare with them.

."

Tsk tsk...

At first, Zhao Xun thought that Yangguan and Yumenguan were just vase decorations for customs clearance, but he did not expect that they had such important practical value.

"So, we must send more troops to Shazhou and Guazhou!"

Taoist Priest Qinglian said without hesitation.

"More troops?"

Zhao Xun was stunned.

Teacher, is this serious?

"Teacher, according to Mr. Feng, the 80,000 elite troops of the Anxi Army have been basically preserved intact. Including Guazhou and Shazhou, there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there. You just said that Jianmen Pass and Yang Pass are

It is the most majestic pass in the world. Such a majestic pass is the easiest to defend and difficult to attack. How can the enemy easily conquer it? Why do we need to send troops for reinforcements?"

Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi shook his head and said: "These are two different things."

He paused and said: "Do you know how many people there are in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions? Although each of their city-states has a small population, all of them are soldiers. This is the same as the northern barbarians and the southern barbarians. In the barbarian's mind

, as long as a man is an old man or a child, he must be prepared to become a warrior, and as long as the tribe needs it, they must go to the battlefield without hesitation."

Wu Quanyi sighed and said: "So this time, we conservatively estimate that the troops arriving at Yangguan and Yumen Pass will be at least two to three hundred thousand. Although Yangguan and Yumen Pass are easy to defend and difficult to attack, don't forget one thing. The last one hundred

The drought in the Western Regions was severe in 2011, and Guazhou and Shazhou were also affected. There are deserts and Gobi everywhere. Yumen Pass and Yang Pass are likely to have difficulty storing large amounts of food and water."

Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel his heart sinking when he heard this.

"If that's the case, it's really dangerous."

Zhao Xun sighed and said: "But how can we report it to the court? Even if the court really wants to reinforce Shazhou at this time, Guazhou will not be able to vacate it."

Chang'an City was besieged. Under such circumstances, even if Emperor Xianlong wanted to send troops to assist, it would not be possible.

Besides, the one closest to Guazhou Sandbank is Liangzhou.

Liangzhou's army has basically all marched to Gyeonggi Province.

The rest of the Hedong Army also went to Chang'an to defeat King Qin.

Against this background, if you think about mobilizing troops to go to Guazhou, reinforcements from Shazhou would be a slap in the face.

Based on Zhao Xun's understanding of Emperor Xianlong, he felt that Emperor Xianlong would not make such a choice.

"This is the truth, but we still have to fight for it."

Taoist Priest Qinglian certainly understands the difficulties involved.

But no matter how difficult it is, you still have to give it a try.

If you don't give it a try, you'll never know if you have a chance.

They can't let themselves regret such a big thing.

"Let's do this, good disciple. We, master and disciple, will go our separate ways. Master, I will go to the Qintian Prison to explain the situation to my junior uncle and ask him to report on his behalf. As for you, go to the Bad Guys

Yamen, explain the situation to the bad commander Feng Hao. I believe he should know the seriousness and will report it to the emperor in time."

"Well, that's all we can do for now. Kudos to my mentor."

...

...

After Zhao Xun left Leyouyuan Qinglian Temple, he immediately returned to the Delinquent Yamen without stopping.

At this moment, people started to arrive in the Yamen one after another.

Colleagues started a new day of work chatting and laughing happily.

However, Zhao Xun flawlessly greeted them and went straight to the second-floor government office where the bad handsome man Feng Hao was.

At this moment, bad guy Feng Hao is drinking tea.

Seeing Zhao Xun coming, Feng Hao took a sip of tea, smiled lightly and said: "Ming Yun is here, sit down."

"Thank you, Mr. Feng."

In front of Feng Hao, Zhao Xun was always respectful.

There was no other reason. Just because Feng Hao was his guide and led him into an official career was worthy of his respect.

"Ming Yun came to my office so early. Is there anything important you have to do?"

Feng Hao asked harmoniously.

Zhao Xun quickly made a cross-hand salute.

"To be honest, I do have something important to report to you."

Zhao Xun then told Feng Hao about his dream and Taoist Qinglian's interpretation of it.

After hearing this, Feng Hao couldn't help but look solemn.

"If it's really what you said, it's really critical."

Feng Hao put his hands behind his back and started pacing.

When he was in the Western Regions, he felt that the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions were disobedient.

This is exactly the same as the grassland barbarians.

At that time, Feng Hao only thought that he was not from my race, and his mentality must be different.

But now it seems that there is a deeper reason!

Because the grassland barbarians and the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions are essentially of the same origin, it is only natural that they do the same thing.

"What do Mingyun think we should do now?"

Feng Hao turned to Zhao Xun, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"Master Feng, my subordinates feel that we should immediately report to the Emperor and request His Majesty to send troops to reinforce Shazhou and Guazhou."

Feng Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Move troops, where are there any troops now? If we insist on transferring troops, I'm afraid only the tens of thousands of troops in Liangzhou will be left."

"Master Feng, it is one thing whether His Majesty will mobilize his troops, but it is another matter whether we can do so. If we do nothing, if Yangguan and Yumenguan are really captured by the Hu people in the Western Regions, then we will be

A sinner for the ages.”

Zhao Xun's words awakened Feng Hao.

Yes, whether enough manpower can be mobilized to stop the Western Region Allied Forces is something the court should consider.

It was their problem if they failed to tell the court this information in time.

"Okay, I will report to the Emperor now and request His Majesty to send troops."

After a pause, Feng Hao turned to Zhao Xun, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Ming Yun, you did a good job. I really did not misjudge you. Don't worry, after I take up my post, I will

This seat is reserved for you, and only you can take it."
