    The telegram sent from Spark City was immediately transmitted to Lu Shengzhong who was stationed in Lanjiang. Currently, the Lin State had mobilized heavy troops to suppress the area north of Lanjiang, which made Lu Shengzhong feel a lot of pressure.  Because Lanzhou extends for dozens of miles, it is indeed not easy to defend such a long area across the board. Fortunately, there is sufficient rain in spring and the water flow of Lanjiang River is rapid. It is not easy for Lin's army to cross the river on a large scale.  Seeing Qian Xiaoxing's request for 50,000 troops, Lu Shengzhong immediately mobilized 50,000 troops, including 8,000 Dark Knights, 10,000 cavalry and 32,000 infantry.  These soldiers were immediately arranged to take wooden rail cars and march to Huju Pass day and night. Lu Shengzhong also wrote a letter to be brought to Qian Xiaoxing. The content of the letter was mainly about the movements of Lin Jun in Jiangbei. He hoped that Qian Xiaoxing could quickly  The attack forced Lin Guo to dispatch troops to relieve the pressure on the defense along the Lanjiang River.  The letter also contains another piece of news, that is, in the cities occupied by the Lin army north of Lanjiang, many people from the Hu State began to flee. It turned out that after the Lin State took over the original cities of the Hu State, they looted people's property and burned it.  They killed, looted, and did not regard the people of Hu State as human beings at all. Many people of Hu State could not stand the oppression, so they packed up their packages and fled to Si State.  Because these people know that there are seven cities south of Lanjiang that originally belonged to the Hu State. Not only were these people not oppressed and persecuted, but under the leadership of Si State, their lives were actually better than before. This difference between good and bad  The people naturally saw the difference, so they could no longer stand the leadership of Lin Guo and switched to Si State. In the eyes of the people, Si State was already more friendly than the original Hu State.  A few days later, 50,000 troops arrived at Huju Pass. Together with the 10,000 infantrymen who had already arrived, Qian Xiaoxing's available troops reached 60,000.  After seeing what Lu Shengzhong wrote about the people of the Hu State, Qian Xiaoxing asked Sima Yiqing: "Father-in-law, what do you think of this matter?"  Persecution, he felt very sad and said: "There is an old saying: the people are the most important, the country is second, the king is the least, but King Lin is just the opposite. I think King Lin is accelerating the end of his own life. Although Lin Guohe  The Si State has fought against the Hu State, but now the people of the Hu State are willing to surrender to the Si State, which shows that there is no hatred for the Si State. People's hearts are an invisible force that often plays an important role at critical moments. If the Si State has the ability to accept it.  Let¡¯s accept all these people.¡± ¡°My father-in-law has great insights, so I will write back to Brother Zhong immediately and ask him to arrange for them to be accepted.¡± Qian Xiaoxing immediately wrote a letter and asked Zhang Yongchao to forward it by telegram.  When Zhang Yongchao was taking the letter, he saw Hu Suoyuan coming over quickly from a distance and saying, "Chief of Staff, I'll take it and send it!" Qian Xiaoxing saw that Hu Suoyuan was walking smoothly, and it seemed that he didn't leave any sequelae.  , happily patted Hu Suoyuan on the shoulder and said: "Good boy, you are back." Hu Suoyuan stood at attention, saluted and said: "Hu Suoyuan, the commander of the Sijun Guard Company, has recovered from his injury. Come and report!" "Okay,  Welcome back to the team!" Qian Xiaoxing then asked with a smile: "Did Sister Ying fulfill the five wives she promised you? If not, I will go to her." Hu Suoyuan scratched his head and said, "  It¡¯s done, and I¡¯ve done it a few days ago. I didn¡¯t return to the team in time after I recovered from my injury. Please ask the chief of staff to punish you.¡±  Laughing, he suddenly sighed: "It's better for you to be quick. You can marry five at once. I can marry two at most." "This" Hu Suoyuan said in embarrassment: "If the chief of staff wants to marry fifty together,  There's no one to stop you." Qian Xiaoxing thought about it, waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's not talk about it. You came back at the right time. We are going to launch a war against Lin Guo. You should arrange for people to go there immediately.  Let's check the current position of Lin Jun's main force. Let Zhang Yongchao send the letter. " "Yes!" Hu Suoyuan saluted seriously and retreated.  After the two left, Sima Yiqing nodded and said: "It seems that Xianxiu and these subordinates are very convinced of you." "Yes, I have a life-long friendship with them. If it weren't for them, my life would be very difficult.  Long gone, I still treat them as brothers," Qian Xiaoxing said proudly.  "It's rare for a good son-in-law to be in a high position and still be approachable. I am usually too aloof and have no confidant to fall in love with. I still need to learn more from you." Sima Yiqing said modestly.  "My father-in-law said something serious. Maybe when I reach your age, I will be nobler than you. Let's go and prepare the army and horses for attack." Qian Xiaoxing and Sima Yiqing walked towards the military camp.  A day later, Hu Suoyuan had obtained Si Jun's intelligence. Originally, this information was passed through Si Guo's intelligence department, but Lin Guo blocked the road and could not cross, and the intelligence was also blocked., so Qian Xiaoxing sent Hu Suoyuan to investigate.  Intelligence shows that Lin Guo is already building a pass at a place called Lotus Valley, ten miles away from Huju Pass, and the speed is very fast. Half of it has been built so far.  Near the Lotus Valley, the Lin State has also assembled heavy troops, about 100,000 troops, and it seems that they are ready.  "One hundred thousand troops" Qian Xiaoxing remembered that every time he fights, he always fights with less, and this time it seems that there is no exception. However, relatively speaking, the opponent's strength is less than twice that of his own.  This is the best situation.  Sima Yiqing said: "Lin State is already building a pass. If it is built successfully, it will be much more difficult for us to attack. Without further delay, we will send out troops now." "Okay, order troops to go out immediately!" Qian Xiao  Xing ordered.  Opening the gate of Huju Pass, the 60,000 Si army slowly came out. The target was only ten miles ahead, which can be said to be very close. The Si army led by the Dark Knights advanced rapidly.  Lotus Valley is named because the shape of the valley is like a blooming lotus. Not far away, there is a large lake called Lotus Leaf. The lake is green and is also an excellent scenic spot.  Qian Xiaoxing and Sima Yiqing sat on a four-wheeled carriage. A map was laid out in the middle of the large carriage. Qian Xiaoxing checked the map and said with a smile: "A Lotus Valley and a Lotus Leaf Lake, they echo each other. I heard  The scenery here is good, and it seems that it can be developed into a scenic tourist area in the future. "Sima Yiqing said with a smile: "Why, how can we use it before we get it?" "Haha, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is really a family pleasure to take a bath with a group of wives.  ." Qian Xiaoxing laughed happily.  The troops quickly approached the Lotus Valley. Qian Xiaoxing stood up and looked forward with a telescope. Upon seeing this, Sima Yiqing immediately picked up the telescope and started looking.  Three hundred meters ahead is the entrance to the Lotus Valley. A three- to four-meter-high city wall has been built among the knife-edge peaks on both sides. Looking at the city wall signature, there is no one on the construction site piled with stones, but it has not yet been built.  The good city wall was already full of Lin Jun. Apparently Lin Jun had also learned the news and stopped work and began to defend.  "It's been built very quickly. It's already so high." Qian Xiaoxing put down the telescope and said, "It seems that Lin Jun will finish the construction in a few days." Sima Yiqing was still observing with the telescope and said: "  Yes, fortunately the city wall is not too high. It is quite easy to attack such a city wall. "The troops slowly approached and stopped about a hundred meters away from Lianhua Pass. Although it was only three or four meters high, it was enough to deal with the cavalry.  Qian Xiaoxing had no choice but to line up the infantry in front and prepare to attack Lianhua Pass.  The infantrymen of the Si army were holding tall shields and had already formed up. The front row was covering, the rear row soldiers were charging with ladders, and behind them were archers, preparing to suppress the Lin army on the wall.  "Blow the drum! Blow the charge horn!" Qian Xiaoxing stood on the car and shouted.  ¡°Dong-dong-dong, dong-dong-dong¡± A strong and powerful drum beat sounded, followed by three trombone blasts: ¡°Woo-Woo-Woo-¡± cut through the sky.  The soldiers of the division army all shouted: "Charge!" The soldiers walked straight to the front with neat steps. The soldiers looked resolute and walked resolutely, making people feel a faint pressure.  Sima Yiqing used the binoculars to look at it from time to time and said: "The quality of the soldiers of the Si army is indeed good. They can execute orders very well. It seems that they also train very hard." "Yes, the training of these soldiers has cost me a lot of money.  Don't worry, Si Jun has never carried out a storm attack before, so I don't have much confidence in the storm attack. If it weren't for the fact that the Lotus Valley is only half built, I wouldn't launch a storm attack," Qian Xiaoxing said worriedly.  Sima Yiqing nodded and said: "Yes, a strong attack will definitely cause greater losses. If time were not pressed, with the wisdom of the wise son-in-law, there would definitely be a better plan." "Well, as long as the Lotus Valley is occupied, it is not a lot.  A small loss is worth it, after all, if we attack in the future, the loss will be even greater," Qian Xiaoxing replied.  Sima Yiqing shook his head and said: "Xianxiang, don't worry too much. I think the quality of Si Jun's troops is very good and they won't lose much. Let's just watch with peace of mind." The gates in Lianhua Pass have not been installed yet.  The doorway was temporarily blocked with stones, and not many people could stand on the messy city wall. Qian Xiaoxing saw Lin Jun's archers standing in a disorderly manner through the telescope. It seemed that it was not difficult to seize the Lotus Pass.  Si Jun's troops gradually advanced to the bottom of the city wall. The arrows of Lin Jun's archers on the city wall were blocked by shields, and had almost no effect. Except for some soldiers throwing down the stones used to build the pass, causing some damage, Si Jun could be said to have not suffered any damage.  to strong resistance.  Qian Xiaoxing was looking forward to the moment of victory when he suddenly heard that Sima YiqingSaid: "It doesn't seem right!" Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing hurriedly asked: "Father-in-law, what's wrong?" Sima Yiqing still held up the telescope and said: "Have you observed the general of the Lin Army?" "No, I just care about it.  "Look at the soldiers attacking the city, where is the general?" Qian Xiaoxing asked hurriedly.  Sima Yiqing pointed his finger in the direction and said: "My dear son-in-law, you must remember from now on that the enemy general must be watched at all times. You can see more clearly with a telescope. The expression of the enemy general can provide us with some important information."  "The information." Qian Xiaoxing followed the direction pointed by Sima Yiqing and searched carefully, and finally found a general in golden armor. He looked calm and calm, watching the battlefield while giving instructions to his men.  "Father-in-law, I don't see anything wrong. It seems that this general has rich experience and is not afraid of danger." Qian Xiaoxing said.  "No!" Sima Yiqing objected: "Even if he is experienced and unafraid in the face of danger, he will not be so calm and calm. He must have some backup plan to deal with our siege, and he is fully confident." After all, Sima Yiqing is better than  Qian Xiaoxing was more experienced. After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing did not dare to be careless and asked: "Then what should we do? Should we withdraw our troops first?"
