    Although when they were intercepted by the Dongping Army, these deserters in ragged clothes and sallow faces looked very pitiful. They kowtowed to the interrogating Dongping Army and begged for mercy. They looked harmless and pitiful. However, the Dongping Army did not relax their treatment of them because of this.  of vigilance.

    Meng Ju knew this well: the border army was once the most powerful fighting force in the Wei Dynasty.  Tempered in this army of wolves and tigers, these warriors who have been in battle for a long time and are accustomed to killing have nothing to do except killing.  These people are determined and ruthless. Now, they have lost the shackles of military discipline and superiors. Once these people are allowed to swarm into the civilian population, they will inevitably turn into bandits and bandits. These people are good at fighting but have nothing.  They will be more ferocious and bloodthirsty than any gang. This is a huge threat to the security of the Dongping Military Area.

    Meng Ju issued a warning, ordering the garrisons and government officials in Jizhou, Zhongshan, Shuozhou, Dingzhou and other places to mobilize with all their strength to intercept and collect the border troops who had fled from the front line, and they must not be allowed to escape into the civilian population.  Especially in Jizhou, this new state that is currently in military garrison is weak in military strength. Meng Ju has ordered Li Chimei's troops to be transferred from the left army to assist Jizhou to suppress and stabilize the place.

    Of course, as the first line of defense to intercept the defeated troops, Chu Nan Mansion, which Meng Ju personally took charge of, shouldered the greatest responsibility.  At various crossings, checkpoints and key areas, the Dongping Army set up a large number of checkpoints and interrogation posts, and dispatched armed armored fighters to conduct inspections.  In addition, a large number of scout teams were dispatched to patrol the wilderness and forests, and they would approach and inquire about pedestrians passing by.  Anyone who speaks with a northern Xinjiang accent will be detained on the spot.

    Most of the time, the defeated soldiers of the border army who were interrogated would obey orders, put down their weapons and accept the command of the Dongping Army.  But there are also many times when they run away, resist or even attack interrogators.  As the battle lines gradually moved northward, the number and scale of deserters also increased, and there were even hundreds of large-scale deserters led by officers.

    The Dongping Army's attitude towards the defeated troops who dared to resist stubbornly was very severe.  Meng Ju issued an order.  Any defeated soldiers who dare to resist.  All will be killed.  Then battles broke out. Day and night, in the wilderness or along the road, the intercepting Dongping troops and the border deserters eager to escape often started unexpected fights.  The deserters fought for survival, but the Dongping Army had advantages in organization and equipment. Each search team and inspection post were equipped with uniformed armored fighters. Facing the deserters who were not even equipped with weapons, Dongping Army  The army always wins.

    ??In early May of the second year of Tianyou, Meng Ju was eagerly awaiting the event.  Zhang Quan, the governor of Shuzhou who was escorting the supplies, finally arrived at Chunan Mansion in Jeju.  Hearing the news, the happiest person was not Meng Ju, but the imperial envoy Ma Gui who had been under house arrest - he could finally escape from the nightmare of being captured to sacrifice the flag.

    Meng Ju was grateful to Governor Zhang Quan for traveling thousands of miles to bring benefits to him.  He personally went out of the city to greet him. After the two parties had seen each other, but before they had time to exchange greetings and greetings, Governor Zhang Quan told Meng Ju directly: "Grand Governor, I have bad news to report to you: the general will get the news on the road. Betrayal.  The soldiers are coming towards Chunan, Jeju. Governor, please make preparations in advance."

    "These days, the Dongping Army stationed in Chunan spends day and night clearing out rebel deserters passing by. Fighting occurs every day, and Meng Ju is numb from fighting.  Hearing Inspector Zhang Quan's warning, Meng Ju didn't pay much attention and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Governor Zhang is concerned about it. I know about it. But we don't need to pay too much attention to a few thieves. Governor Zhang has worked hard for coming all the way."  , please go to the city and rest peacefully."

    Hear what Meng Ju said.  Zhang Quan looked surprised.  He looked at Meng Ju strangely for a while. After a long time, he nodded and said, "I have heard for a long time that the Governor is very brave and is the most brave general in the Wei Dynasty. He is indeed worthy of his reputation. It turns out that the 50,000 rebels led by the pseudo-emperor uncle Tuoba  The elite army is nothing more than a few thieves in the eyes of the governor. With such heroic spirit, the general will have to accept defeat."

    Meng Ju: ""

    Zhang Quan didn't know much about the movements of the border troops. He only encountered a small unit of the border troops on the road. After the battle, he captured several of the other side's officers. After torture, he learned the news: Emperor Uncle Tuoba Xiong was leading the border troops.  The main force of the army went north and headed straight for Jeju.  Currently, the main force of the frontier army is known to be about 50,000.  Now, the main force of the frontier army is still about 400 miles away from Jeju.

    I don't know if he had any worries or was afraid that the main force of the border troops would be blocked in Chu Nan Mansion. Zhang Quan only stayed in Chu Nan Mansion for one day. He handed over the escorted supplies to Meng Ju and left in a hurry.  People.  Meng Ju had no intention of retaining him. He was now busy preparing for war, collecting grain from all over the countryside, sending scouts, and warning all parties.

    Now, the goal of the border army is obvious.  They fight desperately to open their way home to Jeju.

    As the art of war goes, don¡¯t stop when you return to the army - Meng Ju knew very well that those who are eager to escapeThe army can always explode with more powerful combat power than usual.  Although he had repeatedly defeated the frontier army in the past, Meng Ju did not dare to take it lightly against this near-death blow from the frontier army.

    While he recruited 3,000 people to serve as auxiliary troops in Chunan Mansion, he issued military orders to the rear, ordering Wang Beixing's West Route Army and Yi Xiaodao's East Route Army to quickly send powerful troops to move closer to Mengju - the east and west routes  The soldiers and horses have completed their scheduled conquest mission, but it is estimated that it will take at least a month to reach Jeju. However, Meng Ju estimates that this Jeju battle will not end soon.

    Three days later, the scouts sent by the Dongping Army to the south finally turned back.  Not only did they confirm Governor Zhang Quan's warning, but they also brought back more accurate news: the main force of the remnants of the frontier army was indeed heading straight towards Jeju. Their strength was between 40,000 and 50,000, and the number of battle armors was unknown.  .  Following Tuoba Xiong was the main force of the Jinwu Guard, commanded by Emperor Murong Po, with as many as 130,000 troops.

    According to the observation of the scouts, although it was a chase battle, the Jinwu Guards did not pursue very closely. Both sides always maintained a two-day journey - that kind of marching speed was more like sending off each other than chasing.

    The prefect¡¯s Yamen of Chu Nan Prefecture has now become a wartime command center.  Senior officers of the Dongping Army gathered here to listen to the scout reports.  Upon hearing this report, Wang Hu, Qi Peng and others immediately shouted loudly: "The Murong family has evil intentions, they want to divert trouble away!"

    "They just want to force the border troops to come over and fight with us to the death!"

    "Fifty thousand elite border troops! They are going to bite us to death with one bite!"

    "Those bastards from the Murong family, they just want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and then make a profit!"

    The generals were talking over each other, and they were all shouting so loudly that no one could hear anyone clearly.

    Meng Ju sat in his seat and drank tea. Compared with his angry subordinates, he looked much calmer. He even had time to hold his chin in his hands and observe everyone's expressions - if anger and abuse were useful, everyone also used to practice fighting armor.  What to do?  Moreover, his mentality is also very balanced: when he comes out to mess around, he always has to pay back.  He had robbed the Murong family so many times, and it was normal for them to retaliate.

    Seeing that the generals were almost shouting, Meng Ju raised his hand to signal. Immediately, the generals stopped talking, everyone's eyes were focused on Meng Ju, and the room was completely silent.

    Meng Ju looked around at everyone, and finally looked at Mr. Wen: "Sir, our army has encountered a powerful enemy and is facing a great crisis. I wonder what you can teach me, sir?"

    With so many civil servants and generals gathered, Meng Ju was the first to name Mr. Wen. This high regard surprised all the generals present.  Mr. Wen stood up, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, here are all the heroes and sages gathered here. A student's superficial opinions are really not worthy of being elegant, and I am afraid that I will make my lord and all the sages laugh."

    "Sir, it's okay, don't worry."

    "In this case, the students are being reckless, and they are just trying to attract others. From the student's point of view, Emperor Tuoba's troops are approaching, and our army's response strategy is nothing more than 'war, avoidance, and peace'."

    Meng Ju pondered for a moment and asked: "I already understand the meaning of the so-called 'war' strategy, which is nothing more than the coming of soldiers to block it. But what do you mean by the two strategies of 'avoidance' and 'harmony'?"

    "The emperor's uncle hurriedly went north just to regain control of the north. My lord's reputation for bravery and good fighting skills is known to the whole world. If possible, the emperor's uncle Tuoba is not willing to fight to the death with his lord. As long as the lord makes way for the emperor's uncle,  Returning to the north, it is expected that the imperial court will not watch the emperor linger in the north and regain his throne, right?"

    "Let the emperor's uncle enter Jizhou?"

    Meng Ju frowned slightly, stood up and walked slowly to the window.  At this time, the sun was setting, and the entire courtyard and mansion were shrouded in deep twilight.  The last red glow of the setting sun illuminated the hall in a dazzling red.  Meng Ju turned around from the window, half of his face was also red, as if he had just been soaked in a pool of blood.

    Meng Ju said in a low voice: "This matter is absolutely impossible."

    The area north of Jizhou is under the jurisdiction of the Dongping Army. If Tuoba Xiong is allowed in, the anxious person will not be the court but Meng Ju.

    If Tuoba Xiong wants to rise again, he must take back the territory from Meng Ju.  The strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight was not only played by Meng Ju. At that time, the court would happily sit in Luojing and watch Meng Ju and Tuoba Xiong fight to the death.

    Meng Ju looked around at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Chunnan Mansion is the gateway to Jizhou. Our army will stick to this place and never take a step back. No matter who the enemy is, we will never allow them to set foot in Jizhou."

    The generals cheered loudly: "The Governor is so powerful, that's how it should be!"

    Meng Ju nodded slightly, and turned to look at Mr. Wen: "Mr. Wen?, there is no need to elaborate on the avoidance strategy.  Our army will never retreat, and there is no way to retreat. Please talk about the two strategies of "war" and "peace"?  "
