"Commander Wei, please come back. My master has taken a rest."
The Chang Sui who came out of the tent saw Wei Cheng standing outside the tent and directly expressed his master's attitude that he did not want to see him.
Wei Cheng frowned lightly and said, "I have important matters to see Governor Xian. Please inform me."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Chang Sui's hand.
"Commander Wei, you are embarrassing me!" Chang Sui held the silver in his hand and looked embarrassed.
"Excuse me." Wei Cheng took out another piece of silver and stuffed it into it.
Chang Sui, who had received the benefits twice in a row, frowned and said: "It's not that I don't want you to pass the news for the commander of the guards. It's actually the current situation of the army. My master is not in the mood to see the commander of the guards for you."
"I know that Governor Xian is blaming me for not letting the army take over Bao'an Prefecture." Wei Cheng shook his head with a wry smile.
Chang Sui said: "Since the commander of the guard knows everything, I think it's better to go back first. After my master has calmed down in two days, it won't be too late for you to come back and ask for a visit."
"It will be too late by then." Wei Cheng said, "I will see Du Xian no matter what today."
Chang Sui showed a struggle on his face and said: "Aren't you putting me in trouble? Otherwise, you can find someone else. To be honest, my master hates you so much when he hears your name, let alone seeing you." .”
"You go back and tell Du Xian that this general has a way to solve the army's current predicament." Wei Cheng, who knew Changsui, repeatedly pushed back. In order to see Xing Youwei immediately, he directly made a sweeping statement.
Chang Sui asked with eyes shining: "Commander Wei, you are not trying to trick me here, are you? If you can't figure out what to do if you get inside, just leave me here."
"You can go in and tell the truth. Since I said so, I won't deceive you." Wei Cheng promised.
Chang Sui hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, please wait here for a moment. I will go in and make the announcement. As for whether my master will see you, I can't guarantee it."
"Don't worry, as long as you say so, Governor Xian will definitely meet with me." Wei Cheng said.
Chang Sui didn't tell the difference, so he turned around and entered the tent.
There were some vague words that could not be heard clearly in the big tent. Not long after, the chief attendant came out of the big tent and said to the guard guard outside: "Commander Guard, please come in, my house The master promises to see you."
Wei Cheng hugged his fist gratefully and walked quickly into the tent.
"At the end of the day, I will see the governor."
Entering the tent, Wei Cheng saw Xing Youwei inside and took two steps forward to salute.
"Hmph, you still have the nerve to come see me." Xing Youwei glanced at Wei Cheng and let out a dissatisfied snort.
A look of embarrassment flashed across Wei Cheng's face, and he said: "It was the general's lack of thinking that put Du Xian in such a dangerous situation. He did not expect that the thieves in Baoan City would be so tenacious in defending the city."
"I don't want to hear this nonsense from you." Xing Youwei interrupted Wei Cheng and said immediately, "Didn't you say that you can solve the current dilemma of the army? Say it!"
It was true that he hated Wei Cheng for putting him in such a dangerous situation, but what worried him most these past two days was how to leave this place and return to Juyong Pass.
Wei Cheng did not speak immediately, but looked left and right inside the tent.
"If there's anything I can't say, I have to carry someone else's back." Xing Youwei, who was already dissatisfied with Wei Cheng, felt even more dissatisfied.
Wei Cheng smiled apologetically and said: "If things are not kept secret, it will cause harm. Please ask Governor Xianping to step aside, so that the general can say this."
"You guys will go down first."
With his life in danger, Xing Youwei had no choice but to ask the few personal guards in the tent to temporarily retreat, no matter how unwilling he was.
As soon as the personal guards left, only Xing Youwei and Chang Sui were left.
"Is it possible that the young one also wants to retreat?" When Chang Sui saw Wei Cheng looking at him, he thought he wanted him to leave the tent as well, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
"No, you stay." Xing Youwei expressed his intention to keep Chang Sui.
At this time, Wei Cheng said with a smile: "The people around Du Xian do not need to leave. If anyone in the army betrays Du Xian, you will not betray Du Xian."
Chang Sui's face looks better now.
"Everyone has left, we can talk now." Xing Youwei asked.
Wei Cheng put away the smile on his face and said with a serious expression: "The general has just received the news that the food and grass sent to the army were taken over by bandits. Now the food and grass left in the army is less than half a month's consumption by the army."
"How come I don't know what happened when?" Xing Youwei's expression suddenly changed as the food and grass were robbed.
The daily consumption of food and grass by an army of 50,000 is an astronomical amount. Once the food route is cut off, there is no need for thieves to attack, and the army of 50,000 around him will be in chaos.
Wei Cheng said: "Not long after the news of the robbery of food and grass was sent back, as soon as General Mo learned about it, he immediately had the news blocked. Even the person who sent the letter was detained in isolation, and he was not allowed to contact other people in the army."
"You did a good job. You know how serious this matter is. You must not leak any information." Xing Youwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the news of the robbery of food and grass did not spread, he and the army would still have a chance, otherwise they would not even have a chance to escape back to Juyongguan.
Wei Cheng said: "Half a month seems like a lot, but in fact the army does not have half a month to consume. The bandits from Yongning City will arrive in a few days, and then the army will really have no way to survive."
It was the faster-moving Dragoon Division that cut off the retreat of Xing Youwei's 50,000-strong army. The First Combat Division was also coming from Yongning, preparing to encircle Xing Youwei's 50,000-strong army.
"We really can't wait any longer. We must immediately summon the commander-in-chief of the army to discuss military affairs." Xing Youwei ordered his subordinates.
Guan Ning's 50,000-strong army were all destroyed in Yongning. Once the bandits from Yongning arrived in Bao'an Prefecture, he knew very well that he and the 50,000-strong army around him would not escape the fate of destruction.
"We cannot summon the generals of the camps." Wei Cheng stopped Chang Sui, who was about to leave, and turned to Xing Youwei and said, "If Governor Xian wants to return to Juyongguan safely, he must not discuss it with the generals of the camps."
"What do you mean?" Xing Youwei looked at Wei Cheng in confusion.
Wei Cheng took a few steps forward, approached Xing Youwei and whispered in a low voice: "If Du Xian wants to return to Juyongguan safely, he cannot take these 50,000 troops with him. Otherwise, he will be intercepted by the bandits halfway before he can return. .”
"You want me to abandon these 50,000 troops?" Xing Youwei said with an ugly expression.
Chang Sui on the side was staring at Wei Cheng with wide eyes.
Wei Cheng said: "The army's retreat to Tianjin Pass is cut off. If Du Xian wants to leave safely, he can only leave 50,000 soldiers and horses to attract the attention of the traitors, so that he can have a chance to escape."
After speaking, he looked at Xing Youwei, waiting for the other party to choose.
