The residences of Yan Shan and the other three people were all in Nanzheng City, so after only a moment, the three of them rushed to the governor's mansion.
"Military advisor, is there something urgent about calling me so late?"
Jia Xu arranged for the three of them to sit down first. After all, it was not confirmed yet, so there was no need to be too anxious.
"Yan Juncheng, Yang Junwei, and General Xu, I'm really sorry to ask you to come over so late, but the military situation is urgent, so I have to interrupt!"
Jia Xu was scheming and very friendly to everyone. This is why his prestige in Hanzhong was particularly high after Liu Zhang left.
"Military advisor, you're welcome. If you have anything to do, just give me your orders!"
Yan Shan, like Jia Xu, was a civil servant, and he admired Jia Xu's talent even more, so he naturally followed Jia Xu's orders.
"General Huang from Yangping Pass sent someone to convey the news that the soldiers patrolling the mountain were missing. General Huang suspected that there was an enemy invasion and sent someone to convey the message."
Yan Shan and Xu Huang immediately understood. No wonder Jia Xu came to them so urgently! However, Yang Lin frowned slightly.
"Military advisor, is General Huang a little too sensitive? I have been stationed at Yangping Pass and patrolled a large area. Could it be that the soldiers were lost?"
"The terrain there should be clear to several of you. It is said to be a checkpoint, but it is actually guarding two peaks and the valley in the middle. The soldiers of the Wushe camp are very elite, and they are all archers. They are even more powerful in defending the city. I believe even some It’s difficult for the enemy to take advantage of Wu Sheying!”
Jia Xu did not deny what Yang Lin said. It was precisely for this reason that he did not make a decision in a hurry.
"What Lieutenant Yang said makes sense, but General Huang is also a veteran on the battlefield. Since he will send soldiers to report the news, I think the matter must not be that simple!"
Yan Shan first supported Jia Xu's point of view, looked at Yang Lin and said,
"I think what Commander Jia said is reasonable. Yangping Pass is the only gateway to Hanzhong County. We must not make any mistakes! Once we fail, Hanzhong County will be completely flat. With the few troops in our hands, how can we defend it!"
"Gongming, what do you think?"
Jia Xu turned his head to Xu Huang. They could see Xu Huang's growth in the past few years, and his commanding ability had even far surpassed that of Tai Shici and others.
"Commander Jia, I think we should not consider whether there are enemies in Yangping Pass now. Instead, we should study that there are enemies in Yangping Pass now, and consider where they are, how many there are, and how to deal with them!"
Xu Huang's thinking was very clear. He could tell at a glance that there was a misunderstanding in Yang Lin's thinking, and he pointed it out without being condescending.
Jia Xu's eyes were filled with relief, Xu Huang really did not disappoint him!
"That's right, Gongming, please continue!"
Xu Huang received Jia Xu's approval and felt more confident. He looked at everyone and continued,
"If there is an invading enemy at Yangping Pass, it is nothing more than two forces. One is the rebel Ma Xiang from Yizhou, and the other is Han Sui from Liangzhou. But I personally think that Han Sui is more likely!"
"Xiang Ma rebelled in Yizhou. Let's not talk about whether he can capture Luocheng. Even if he captures it, Hanzhong will not be his primary target, because Bajun, Shujun, and Guanghan County are the centers of Yizhou."
"But once the enemy is Han Sui, we have to deal with it carelessly. Han Sui has occupied the four counties of Liangzhou and has been dormant for several years. He must have a strong army! Moreover, Han Sui is very close to the Qiang people. If Han Sui is determined to invade Hanzhong , an army of 100,000 can be formed in an instant, and the troops will be at Yangping Pass!"
Xu Huang's remarks completely awakened Yang Lin, and the 100,000 troops made him tremble.
Once this 100,000-strong army breaks through Yangping Pass, won't all the prefectures and counties in Hanzhong be allowed to be conquered by him?
"Yan Juncheng, what do you think?"
Yan Shan knew what Jia Xu meant and directly bowed his hand to him and said,
"I am willing to obey the military advisor's orders!"
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Yan Shan, Jia Xu looked at Yang Lin again. After all, Yang Lin had just put forward a different opinion.
"Lieutenant Yang, what about you?"
"I also obey the military advisor's arrangements!"
Yang Lin often had no idea. After hearing Xu Huang's analysis and Yan Shan's clear attitude, he naturally did not dare to hesitate.
Jia Xu nodded. When everyone's opinions are unified, the next work will be very easy to carry out.
"General Xu, please work hard tonight. Immediately gather the soldiers from Wubu Camp and Wuwei Camp. After dawn, head to Yangping Pass immediately."
Xu Huang naturally had no objection, this was completely consistent with his thoughts.
"I will obey your orders!"
"Yan Juncheng, I leave it to you to arrange food and grass. Once the war starts, Yangping Pass must have enough food and wages."
Yan Shan agreed directly. Now Hanzhong County has a mountain of food, and the most indispensable thing is food!
"As you command!"
Seeing that both of them had arranged tasks, Yang Lin quickly took the initiative to ask.
"Military advisor, what about me? Although my subordinates are county soldiers, they have been trained for three years, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary!"
Jia Xu will never forget Yang Lin, but he has other tasks.
"Lieutenant Yang, Gongming just said that if there is an enemy at Yangping Pass, it will most likely be Han Sui, but that does not include Ma Xiang going crazy and insisting on attacking Hanzhong!"
"If Ma Xiang comes to attack, there will be no problem in Yangping Pass. There is one place that needs attention!"
"The military advisor is talking about Micang Road?"
Yan Shan blurted out that he was too familiar with this road. He came to Hanzhong from Bajun and took the Micang Road.
"Yes, although Micang Road is bumpy and difficult, it is not impossible to sneak through! Now Micang Road is only guarded by Xia Houlan and a thousand people. I want General Yang to lead the county soldiers to assist in the defense. If Ma Xiang really dares to escape from Micang To attack, General Yang only needs to rely on danger to hold on, it is absolutely foolproof!"
Although Jia Xu said this, he still didn't think there would be an enemy attack on Micang Road. This was just a precautionary measure!
"Okay! I will also go and order the troops. We will set off immediately after dawn."
Jia Xu thought about it again and again, and felt that there was nothing special to explain, so he prepared for everyone to go ahead and prepare.
"In that case, everyone should prepare to go early!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another noise coming from outside, and a soldier rushed directly into the house and knelt down in front of Jia Xu.
"Military! Yangping Pass is being attacked very urgently now! General Huang asked the military strategist to send troops to rescue as soon as possible!"
Jia Xu's pupils shrank and he couldn't help but look at Xu Huang. Sure enough, he guessed it right!
"Do you know where the enemy is? How many troops are there?"
The soldier gasped for air and kept shaking his head.
"I don't know! I just know that the mountains and plains are full of enemy troops! When I came, the enemy was attacking fiercely!"
Jia Xu suddenly felt anxious. It seemed that the enemy was preparing to open the gate of Hanzhong in one go! Not daring to delay any longer, he quickly looked at everyone.
"Assemble the team immediately and set off immediately!"
