"Your Highness, General Yuwen Yuanzhen did not say when he would send troops."

"I just say that Canglan Pass is an important town and there is no room for failure."

"Your Highness, please be sure to block the attack of the Jin King's coalition forces..."

Listening to his men's words, King Qin Guo Xiaogang became more and more troubled and said, "Does this Yu Wenyuan Zhen want to kill me?"

At this moment, Guo Xiaogang greeted Yuwen Yuanzhen's whole family countless times in his heart.

In the past half month, his men have lost more than 30,000 people.

The allied forces of the King of Jin came with great force. Although the other side also paid a price of more than 50,000 casualties, if Yuwen Yuanzhen did not send troops...

How can you defend Luyang Mansion by yourself?

If Luyang Mansion is lost.

The entire Hebei Province will be opened wide.

Except for Guanghe Mansion, the last important town.

The combined forces of the King of Jin will be able to flatten the river, which is extremely detrimental to both themselves and the court.

Could it be that Yuwen Yuanzhen did it on purpose?

He just wants to see himself lose his city and territory, and then see himself get a bad reputation?

Right.

The relationship between Yuwen Yuanzhen and Guo Tianyi is that of master and disciple.

Maybe, this was all done in collusion between the master and the apprentice...

Thinking of this, Guo Xiaogang became more and more suspicious.

After Guo Xiaogang thought briefly, he said, "I will write a letter and send a horse to deliver it to the Queen Mother immediately."

So far.

We can only find a breakthrough from the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother loves herself very much.

If the Queen Mother were to tell the Emperor's brother, would Yuwen Yuanzhen dare to resist the decree?

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Guo Xiaogang's men agreed, they waited for a moment, then collected the secret letter written by Guo Xiaogang and left the headquarters.

That night, we quickly arrived in the capital.

The Queen Mother found out about the news overnight and was very angry. She went to find Emperor Feng Jing.

When Emperor Fengjing faced his mother, he didn't have much to say, so he had to issue an imperial edict to Yu Wenyuanzhen, ordering him to quickly send troops to support Luyang Mansion.

The next day.

Canglan Pass.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor Zhi said: The war in Luyang Prefecture is serious, Yuwen Aiqing can wait for the opportunity to send troops to help..."

"Appreciate this."

"My lord, take the order."

After Yuwen Yuanzhen received the imperial edict, he stood up and looked at the eunuch who came to deliver the edict and said, "Father-in-law, please come back."

The eunuch delivering the order today is not Wei An.

But the eunuch of Cining Palace.

He also represents the will of the Queen Mother.

Hearing the sound, the old eunuch pinched his orchid fingers and said sharply, "General Yuwen, the Queen Mother is very angry. She even reprimanded Your Majesty for this. Will you send troops or not?"

The old eunuch's tone was extremely unkind.

When she came, the Queen Mother explained it.

Be sure to let Yuwen Yuanzhen support Guo Xiaogang.

Firstly, it can ease the coalition's offensive. Secondly, if it can defeat the coalition, it can also accumulate military exploits for Guo Xiaogang.

The old eunuch worked for the Queen Mother, so he was certainly worthy of being the beloved general in the eyes of the emperor.

"Will be outside."

"You are not satisfied with your life."

"When my commander will send out troops is a secret. How can I tell you a eunuch?"

Yuwen Yuanzhen sneered, not caring at all about the old eunuch's extremely gloomy expression, and said, "I have to hold a military meeting, father-in-law, please come back."

"you..."

"Okay, you're fine..."

"What a Yuwen Yuanzhen, our family has seen it today."

The old eunuch was so angry that he was shaking all over. He almost cursed Yuwen Yuanzhen when he pointed at him.

After a few breaths, seeing that Yuwen Yuanzhen ignored him, the old eunuch had no choice but to return dejectedly.

He has been working in Cining Palace for more than ten years.

This is the first time I've met someone who doesn't give the Queen Mother dignity.

"Commander, is this inappropriate?" Hua Feng saw the old eunuch leaving and stood up and said, "This father-in-law belongs to the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace. What should I do if he comes back and slanders me?"

"Yes, Marshal." Another general said worriedly, "Your Majesty has never urged the Marshal before. It can be seen that today's imperial edict is the intention of the Queen Mother, and the Marshal has to guard against it..."

"Commander, I think this eunuch will most likely speak ill of the Commander in front of the Queen Mother when he returns home."

"That's right, when we go out to fight, we are afraid that these eunuchs are doing something behind our backs..."

"...."

The generals in the hall spoke one after another, expressing their worries.

Although these generals are all warriors, they are reckless men in the eyes of ordinary people.

But their thoughts are delicate.

Everyone can still see such a simple truth.

"Don't panic, everyone." Yu Wenyuan shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to send troops. You also know the terrain of Luyang Mansion. The coalition forces of the King of Jin occupy dangerous areas. There is only one way for us to support Luyang Mansion from Canglang Pass.

It's easy to defend but difficult to attack there, so it's not the best strategy."

After a brief pause, Yuwen Yuanzhen continued, "This time the Jin King's coalition forces numbered 500,000, and there was also a problem on Hedong Road. Luyang Mansion..."

"It must be thrown away!"

Having said this, Yuwen Yuanzhen seemed to see the confused expressions on the faces of the generals, so he walked to the map, pointed at the map and said, "Look, if Luyang Mansion is not lost, we will not have a chance to win by surprise."

As he spoke, Yu Wenyuanzhen drew a line on the map.

This route is from Jingzhoufu to Hebei Road.

At the same time, Yuwen Yuanzhen also marked Guanghefu, the last important town in Hebei Province.

Everyone knows that if the coalition forces of the King of Jin want to attack Shuntian Mansion and reach the capital directly, there are only two routes.

The first one is to attack Canglan Pass.

This route is closest to Shuntianfu.

But it is also the most dangerous.

Canglan Pass is a majestic pass, and if there is one man who can pass it, ten thousand men cannot open it.

The other route was to attack King Qin's Hebei Road.

Hebei Road has many plains.

Although it is a bit far away from the route to Shuntian Mansion, fortunately, the difficulty of attacking here has been reduced a lot.

Whichever is the lesser of two evils.

The coalition forces of the King of Jin naturally chose the Hebei Road.

In addition, Hedong Road borders Hebei Road, Huang Yu instigated a large number of gentry and powerful people in Hedong Road to rebel.

Once Hebei Road is captured and Hedong Road is in hand, it will definitely be of great benefit to the Jin coalition forces.

"Commander, you mean..." Hua Feng swallowed and said in admiration, "If they capture Luyang Prefecture and start from the flat Hebei Road, the front line will be expanded more than twice!"

"That's right." Yuwen Yuanzhen smiled faintly and said, "They have a large number of troops. After entering Hebei Road, the supply line will be more than twice as large as before, and that's when we have the opportunity to attack."

"The commander-in-chief has great plans and I can't wait."

"Commander, this plan is completely feasible."

"Yes, as long as we cut off their supply lines, they will become trapped beasts."
