Chapter 70 Xuantu asks for help
Xue Ke'er is no longer Xu Kang's little follower. She is now in charge of the Fengtian Army's intelligence system and is one of the core members of the Fengtian Army.
When the army first retreated into the grassland, people were panicked and their momentum was low. Coupled with the harsh environment, horse thieves emerged in endlessly on the grassland, causing huge losses to the Fengtian Army.
The female soldiers in the female guard battalion have experienced a large number of attrition due to their relatively weak psychological and physical qualities.
As a result, the original team of more than 300 people was reduced to more than 100 people in just one month, and the number of members was reduced by more than half.
During that period, Xue Ker'er was extremely depressed.
Faced with such a situation, Xu Kang was helpless. In order to appease Xue Ker, he handed over all the intelligence personnel in his hands to her management.
This is not because Xu Kang sees any hidden talents in her, but because he understands the importance of the intelligence system better than anyone else, so he hopes to have someone he trusts to collect intelligence for him.
But Xue Ke'er studied very seriously, perhaps because she has the blood of a businessman. Not only did she quickly learn some of Professor Xu Kang's limited intelligence knowledge from the future, she even came up with her own reasonable ideas about intelligence collection.
Xu Kang was impressed by the suggestion.
Now Xue Ker's ability in intelligence collection has surpassed Xu Kang's.
Especially after Xue Ker merged the Female Guard Battalion into the Intelligence Battalion, the Intelligence Battalion's strength greatly increased.
Today's intelligence battalion no longer serves Xu Kang alone, but belongs to the entire Fengtian Army.
This time Cheng Yuanzhi sent troops to attack other Liaodong cities, so he took Xue Ker with him.
And she lived up to expectations and provided Cheng Yuanzhi with a lot of important information, allowing him to easily win the match against Deng Mao.
Xue Keer's scream made Xu Kang couldn't help but frown, and his head sobered up a little, and he said: "Xuantu County? This place doesn't seem to be occupied by us. They are still members of the government, right? How could they treat us like this?
Rebels asking for help?”
Speaking of this, Xue Keer put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "Although Xuantu County is called a county, it actually only has a few cities and a population of only 40,000. It is simply unable to resist the attack from Goguryeo. In the past, every
The first time they were attacked, they would receive full support from Liaodong, and they could barely survive.
The current territory. But now that Liaodong is occupied by us, they have not only lost support, but also lost the channel to connect with the Central Plains, and have become an isolated enclave. Now facing the attack of Goguryeo, its governor Yao Guang
In desperation, we had to secretly send an envoy to ask for help from us."
"After all, for both of us, no matter what our positions are, we are still Han people. No matter who occupies Liaodong, we, the people of the Han Dynasty, are safe. But if we are invaded by these foreign barbarians, we, the Han people, will definitely suffer their slaughter.
."
At this time, Xu Kang had completely woken up. He nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Yao Guang is a Chinese character. Well, does the adoptive father know about this?"
Xue Ker nodded and said: "I already know. Cheng Shuai asked me to come to you to see what you think?"
Xu Kang jumped up and put on clothes while saying: "Let's go find our adoptive father and discuss it together."
Cheng Yuanzhi took a sip of tea and looked at the two people he trusted most in front of him. One was his sworn brother Deng Mao, who had been through life and death, and the other was his adopted son Xu Kang who had a keen eye for picking up pearls. However, the two of them were now because of whether to rescue Xuan Kang.
There was a dispute over the issue of Tujun.
"Xuantu County is the territory of the government. If we don't attack them, we have done away with our benevolence and justice. We have to send troops to rescue them. There is no such logic in the world." Deng Mao said angrily.
Xu Kang was very patient and argued with reason: "Xuantu County has an advantageous geographical location. Several cities within its territory are in dangerous terrain and are easy to defend and difficult to attack. They are the key to guarding the northern gate of our Liaodong County. If this place is occupied by Goguryeo,
Go, then they can use this as a base,
Build cities and strongholds, hoard troops and horses. Once they gain a foothold, the vast plains in the hinterland of Liaodong will be under their attack, and we will be unable to fight back. By then, we will be exhausted just to deal with their harassment.
No more opportunities to grow and develop.”
Deng Maodao: "Since you know that this place is important, if it is in the hands of the army, and they set out from Liaoxi County on one side and Xuantu County on the other, and attack from both sides, wouldn't we be in more danger?"
"Xuantu County has been cut off by our Liaodong County and is hanging outside. It is in our pocket. It is difficult to protect ourselves. How can we attack our army?" Xu Kang said: "Now we just have newly acquired Liaodong.
We are busy digesting it and unable to expand externally, otherwise Xuantu County will definitely be owned by us. But even if we don't occupy it, we can't take advantage of Goguryeo, a foreign barbarian."
Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly said: "What can we gain if we send troops?"
Xu Kang thought for a while, cupped his fists and said, "Safety and time."
Then he further explained: "As long as we help Xuantu County repel Goguryeo's attack, we will definitely win their favor. They will no longer have a reason to be our enemy, at least when they are weak. Other Le
After the two counties of Lang and Liaoxi know about it, they will greatly reduce their hostility towards us, and we can develop with peace of mind, and even conduct transactions with them to enrich our strength."
"At the same time, it can also prevent the expansion of Goguryeo's power. In fact, under current circumstances, the Central Plains are far away from us, but Goguryeo is very close to us. And after so many years of development, Goguryeo's national power has greatly increased, and it has become our battle for Liaodong.
A strong competitor of the county. As long as we defeat their aggressive arrogance this time, we can buy valuable time for our development."
"Even without these benefits, as long as Xuantu County is saved, we can use them to resist threats from outside the Great Wall, allowing us to concentrate our forces to defend Liaodong, our fundamental place."
Cheng Yuanzhi frowned and thought for a while and said, "Can't we take the opportunity to occupy this place?"
Xu Kang shook his head and said: "Although the number of people in Xuantu County is small, because it is on the front line of the battlefield all year round, almost everyone is a soldier. If we attack by force, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. In addition, Goguryeo from outside is eyeing it. If they take the opportunity to attack, we may

Wedding clothes. Moreover, even if we capture Xuantu County, we will have to divide our forces for defense and lengthen our army's front line facing Goguryeo, which will be detrimental to our overall security situation in Liaodong. Therefore, under the current circumstances, Xuantu County maintains a certain degree of independence
Sex is a must.”
