Seeing that the civil and military personnel in the hall had changed from their previous lifeless demeanor, Liang Xi's confidence greatly increased. It seemed that he was not at the end of his rope. Zhang Dayu was beaten up by the bald man, and he should be out of breath for a while. Now he should
You can concentrate your efforts on dealing with Lu Guang. It is said that Lu Guang was also the vanguard and his team was still in Gaochang after entering the customs. As long as he gives him a head-on blow and dampens his spirit, I think the counties in Liangzhou will still stand on their side. After all, he is
The governor appointed by His Majesty the King of Heaven, even if the King loses the battle, he is still the King of Heaven.
After thinking about this, Liang Xi said in a deep voice: "Liang Yin, the situation is critical now. I order you to act as the governor of the Western Conquest, and be fully responsible for resisting Lu's thieves. Yao Hao, Wei Han, Quan Zi are young, and the two are highly virtuous.
Shao, who is both civil and military, mature and prudent, and with two assistants as Quanzi, he will be able to defeat the Lu thieves in the future. I will appoint the two as deputy generals and mobilize an army of 50,000 to fight Lu Guang decisively!"
"Yes!" The three of them bowed together and accepted the appointment.
At this time, Wei Han thought for a moment and said: "Now that Lu Guang has passed Yumen Pass, Dunhuang cannot hold it anymore. It is better to mobilize all the troops to help Jiuquan. Jiuquan City already has soldiers and sufficient food and grass. One of our troops will enter the city to ensure
The city is not lost, and some troops are stationed outside the city to form a cornering force. If you retreat like this, you can block Lu Guang and the fortified city, and if you advance, you can defeat Lu Guang in one fell swoop. This is the best strategy."
Liang Xi waved his hand and said: "This is a detailed matter. From now on, the three of you will be responsible for everything about the Western Expedition. I have full trust in you and full authorization. As long as you think it can be done, do it and report to me."
good."
Wei Han was moved to tears and expressed his loyalty again and again. Seeing that Liang Xi finally cheered up, other civil servants and military officers in the hall also began to offer suggestions. For a while, there seemed to be some sense of working together.
However, Liang Xi seemed to have had an idea and ordered again: "In addition, send someone to ask Tufa Si Futan, the leader of the Tufa tribe in Hehuang, and Juqu Luoqiu, the leader of the Songlu Shuihu people in Zhangyelin, to ask them to bring their own brothers.
Our troops are coming to Jiuquan to help in the battle."
"Sir." Liang Yin was a little impatient. Just as he was about to speak, Liang Xi waved his hand and said, "That's it. Daxing ignores the details and will focus on the west first."
"Yes." Liang Yin obeyed angrily.
Then, Liang Xi thought for a while and said to Peng Ji, the governor of Wuwei who was standing below without saying a word: "Leave the defense of Guzang to Prefect Peng." After saying that, Liang Xi kept staring at Peng Ji, looking at him.
expression.
Hearing this, Peng Ji stepped to the center of the hall and saluted, "Guarding Gu Zang is a matter of rank and file, so please rest assured."
The civil and military officials assigned their respective tasks, and Liang Xi returned to the table, raised his arms and shouted: "His Majesty suffered a setback, and it was a time of national crisis. We should have worked together to guard the western border, but Lu Guang actually dared to return east without permission.
This is a naked rebellion! I have rushed his rebellion 800 miles to report to the King of Heaven. The decree will be issued soon. I hope that all your lords and generals, in this crisis, will
On this occasion, I just hope that everyone can unite as one and fight with me to fight against this beast!"
"Only obey your orders!" Everyone shouted in unison.
After the meeting, Liang Yin invited two generals, Yao Hao and Wei Han, to stay in the lobby to discuss troop deployment and other matters. Seeing that he was not called upon, Peng Ji quickly walked out of the lobby. Wei Han looked at it and wanted to say something,
But when the words came, they were not spoken in the end.
The documents for the deployment of troops from various counties were drafted at that time, and a dozen soldiers who went to deliver the documents also left the four city gates overnight and rode fast horses in all directions. The date for the meeting in Jiuquan was stipulated in the document in detail.
As well as the number of troops mobilized. Liang Yin also wrote letters in the name of the governor to Tufa Xianbei leader Tufa Sifudan and Linsong Lushui Hu people leader Juqu Luoqiu. The soldiers who sent the letters to the two leaders also
Liang Yin brought many valuable gifts prepared by Liang Yin. In the letter, Liang Yin expressed his gratitude to them for their loyalty to the court and their military help in Liangzhou over the years, and hoped that they could bring more elite troops to Jiuquan to assist in the war this time.
, and stated that all the required grain, grass, military expenses, etc. would be paid by the Liangzhou Governor's Office, and meritorious officers and soldiers would be reported to the imperial court according to their merits.
In fact, Liang Yin didn’t know whether the imperial court could still be relied on. But besides relying on the name of the imperial court, what else could he rely on? Those chiefs of the Hu tribe were already rebellious people. If it weren’t for the overwhelming momentum of the Qin Heavenly Army,
The Zhang family's fifty years of management have been wiped out. I'm afraid they are still causing trouble every day.
The discussion lasted until late at night, when Yao Hao and Wei Han said goodbye and left. Liang Xi had already hid in the study, saying that Liang Yin would handle everything. He even gave Liang Yin the seal and ribbon of the governor and the order to mobilize troops.
Liang Yin knew that his father's intention was to establish prestige for himself, so he had no choice but to accept it with tears in his eyes.
That night, Liang Yin almost didn't sleep a wink all night. He was not excited because he had achieved great success in his youth and was appointed as the governor before he was 30 years old; it was because he was burdened with a heavy responsibility, the enemy was strong and we were weak, and he was not sure of victory.
The news of his younger brother's death in the war still makes his heart feel as painful as a stone grinding stone. Although there are several nephews in the Liang family now, Liang Yin knows that those people are drunkards, and the only ones his father can truly trust are
By myself.
Furthermore, I have never commanded so many troops or commanded such a large battle. Besides, can the soldiers and horses hurriedly mobilized from various counties share the same hatred and work together to fight against the powerful enemy during the battle? My father put the command in command
He has been given the power to mobilize Liangzhou troops and horses, but he lacks combat experience and is young. Will the generals in each county listen to his orders? Will they make things difficult for him? Or they may shrink from the battle and fight when the enemy is strong.
What about surrender?
"Alas!" Liang Yin, who couldn't sleep, let out a long sigh. It's no wonder that his father's gray hair has grown a lot, and his body is getting worse day by day. Whose shoulders does this heavy burden fall on? Who doesn't? Looking at the ceiling
The carvings and patterns are exquisite, and the incense in the room is warm and warm, but if Lu Guang's army comes, all of this will be gone! Even for all this, Liang Yin cannot tolerate his failure! He silently said to himself: Father, let's fight
I have entrusted myself with the heavy responsibility of a powerful enemy, so I must do my best, share the worries for my father, and vow to live and die with Jiuquan. After all the troops from all counties have gathered in Jiuquan, I must first make a clear division of labor among the generals. If the battle is ineffective and the defense line is lost,
, or those who disobey military orders must be severely punished according to military laws and will never be tolerated. Only in this way can military discipline be maintained in a consistent manner, and we can work together to fight against powerful enemies. Liang Yin thought about it and fell asleep without knowing it.
