Jia Qu waved his hand and signaled Deng Li to stand up, "I never thought that Deng Shuzuo not only knew scriptures, but also knew military affairs..."

Deng Li lowered his head and said: "What my father learned is complicated, and there are also some incomplete military books passed down to my subordinates. I am inspired by it and have only studied it a little, but I don't dare to know two words about it."

Jia Qu nodded and said, "There is no need to be humble. Now there is a sudden attack of Cao's army. Does Shu Zuo have a good plan to deal with it?"

Deng Li thought for a while, then raised his hands and said: "Hu Pass can block the east and west, and control the north and south. Now the soldiers are gathered here, and there are envoys to guard the pass. The city has high walls and thick walls, so that you can guard it without any danger."

General Zhang has elite troops and horses, and he is well equipped for both combat and defense. Cao's army has come from afar and cannot hold power for long. If they circle the city without attacking, they can watch each other, pursue each other in front and behind, and surround or attack. Once they are exhausted, the morale of the army will be shaken.

, Cao Jun had no choice but to retreat in the end, he had no other choice."

"What if Cao's army is stationed at Huguan and secretly marches east of the river?" Jia Qu couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

In fact, Jia Qu already had some concerns in his mind, but seeing that this secretary was also very clear and well-organized, he became more or less concerned and wanted to investigate and see how this person viewed the overall situation.

Although the land east of Hedong is not as important as Chang'an Sanfu, it is still an important grain-producing area under the rule of Qiusi. If Cao's army kills people and sets fire there, it will also greatly damage Fei Qian's foundation.

Deng Li frowned and said, "This...since Cao's army has been forced here, it is naturally possible to march elsewhere...but setting up defenses everywhere is probably...too weak to do so. It is best to stick to Huguan."

What Deng Li said is certainly reasonable. After all, as the governor of Shangdang, the most important thing for Jia Qu is to guard Huguan. Guarding Huguan is equivalent to guarding Taiyuan of Shangdang. As for other places, even if they want to

What's the use of getting more?

If Cao Jun really approached Huguan and then secretly detoured from Hanoi to Hedong, they had no good solution. They could only notify Hedong as much as possible and let Hedong be prepared. As for supporting Hedong, they also had to

This possibility will only be possible after Huguan is no longer a threat.

Jia Qu looked at Deng Li, nodded after a moment, and asked Deng Li to go down and rest.

Deng Li himself was the secretary of Huguan. He went to the military stronghold to deliver grain and grass. After delivering it to the military stronghold, he completed his errand. As for the capture of the military stronghold or the burning of grain and grass, in fact, it cannot be regarded as Deng Li's responsibility.

.

Jia Qu thought for a moment, then waved in the guards. While he was hurriedly contacting Zhang Ji, who was training soldiers and horses within the Shangdang, to come to Huguan, he also ordered the area outside Huguan to be fortified and cleared.

Outside Huguan, many people who farmed in the fields have successively developed some wasteland and built some buildings over the years. But now that Cao Jun came, these fields and fields outside Huguan were not protected.

Houses must be destroyed.

As the order was issued, these small-scale villages outside Huguan and at the foot of the Taihang Mountains immediately became busy. The villagers packed up their belongings at home, took everything they could carry, and helped each other to go to Huguan.

And go.

The news that Cao's army was about to march to Huguan made them all panic. Fortunately, Jia Qu had been in Shangdang for many years and had accumulated a lot of trust. Therefore, these people also believed in Jia Qu and felt that Huguan City had high walls and thick walls.

, Cao Jun will definitely not be able to attack, but outside Huguan...

No one wants to leave home, but when Cao Jun comes, he will drag these villagers to become civilian husbands without any hesitation. It is not clear whether all of them will die by then, so the faces of these villagers inevitably show some worry and fear.

The adults were worried, but the children were jumping up and down.

These children were still at an age where they didn’t know what worry was. They thought their parents were taking them out for fun. Then they saw the huge Huguan Pass and the busy soldiers on the wall. They even thought it was fun and giggled.

It was in sharp contrast to the wry smiles on their parents' faces.

"Line up!" Some soldiers stood under Huguan to maintain order.

The flow of people gradually became crowded.

You have to check your identity one by one, register, and then arrange a place to stay. It cannot be very fast.

The crowd gradually became impatient, especially the children. Adults abide by the rules, but the big kids know what the rules are? Those who need to poop, those who need to pee, those who need to eat, those who need to run to other places to play, and those who need to catch bushes

The grasshopper inside...

Chaos gradually arose, and suddenly a sharp voice sounded, like a knife stabbing everyone in the ear!

"Cao Jun is coming!"

One child didn't know whether he was frightened or for some other reason. He burst into tears immediately, and several other children also started crying inexplicably. The whole atmosphere immediately became tense and panicked.

"Cao's army is here! Enter the pass quickly! It will be safe once you enter the pass!"

Someone else shouted.

The people were coaxed again and all started to move, running forward together.

The child was crying, the woman was shouting, and the old man had difficulty moving and fell to the ground.

Suddenly it fell into complete chaos.

"Don't panic! Don't be confused!"

The soldiers maintaining order at Huguan shouted loudly.

However, the surrounding people were obviously panicking. The panicked villagers did not listen to the instructions at all, let alone have any correct response to the instructions. They still pushed forward. Because within their limited rationality, as long as they entered
