Huyan Jianjie said, "Ishu and Shanshan have met before, and the general and I have met. I personally asked for help, and he will send troops to rescue them. When they arrive at the cove, you will have them wave your flag and you will not have to send troops. Not only do you not need to spend a single soldier, but you can also make Wang Zhi have a whole new level of respect for you.

It was only then that Chen Mu realized why Huyan Jie had dared to boast about the plan. "The general has the courage to do so, and it's no wonder he's invincible!" It's a pity you followed me. "

Hu Yanjie sighed softly, "The word 'general' doesn't dare to be spoken anymore. I am already discouraged and disheartened. To be honest, I am in my thirties and I am still alone. My name and achievements are indeed great. How can I compare to brother Chen's lovely wife and beloved son? It is really enviable …"

At this point, Huyan Jie also felt like she had spoken wrongly. She changed her words, "After winning, what should I do? Just make up your mind, just don't mention me to others."

On the second day, the army set up camp about 30 miles southwest of Yi Wu Lu. This place was a boundless prairie, but at this moment, it was covered with snow. From afar, one could see a lonely city. Although this place was not big, it was connected to many countries and forces, such as Shanshan, Xianbei, Hun, Pu, etc. This was an important road, regardless of the east, west, east, west, and north. It was a place where all the armies would fight for their lives, and the entire Hami region was later referred to as the "gate" of the east of Xinjiang.

Dou Gu had already destroyed the king of the Huns here, but when the Han army left, the Huns came back. The Huns, a nomadic people, came to kill and plunder, but when they saw that the people had all left, they ignored them. Today, there was a branch of the Tainpu tribe, but the tribes were divided and did not unite, and this branch of the tribe did not want to offend the Huns. They agreed to pay the Huns some sheepskin every year, and the Huns allowed them to garrison here and raise the sheep.

This place was filled with beautiful aquatic plants, and the people who lived here were nomadic. Even if there were no wars, their days here were very comfortable. Even if they paid tribute to the people, it would also be better for them to fight for territory with their own people.

The Shansan nation had wanted to praise the Huns as well, so Huyan Jie and the generals of Ishu knew each other.

Communications were not so advanced, and the alliance between Shansan and Han had not yet reached us.

As soon as the Han troops set up camp, Chen Min immediately raised the bill and explained the plan he had previously discussed with Huyan Jie. He told his opponent that he was taking twenty men to flatten Ishu, but he didn't say much about the details.

Most of the people didn't express any opinions, only Wang Zhi firmly objected, slapped the table and loudly said, "The garrison troops here are also not ordinary people, how could you, your master, take such a risk? Even though it's only twenty people, it doesn't matter if they die. If you die, your morale is in chaos, how can you fight against such a battle? "

Chen Mu nodded slightly. "That's true. Since that's the case, why don't you let the military overseer handle this matter. Let's make an order first. If we fail, we shall see if we fail!" With that, he picked up an arrow and threw it on the ground, and no one dared to answer. They didn't expect that before this general even left the battlefield, he would be the first to show his might, and there were also those who disagreed with Wang Zhi, who were happy to watch the show and see if Wang Zhi would dare to receive this arrow.

Wang Zhi was slightly startled, he looked down at the arrow, but did not reach out to pick it up. He also knew that this trip was dangerous, how could he possibly sign it so easily, he coldly laughed and said: "What a joke, hmph, I spoke a few words about you in front of Feng Li City, you narrow-minded person like you want to take revenge on me? "I'm a military supervisor sent by Lord Dou. I don't agree with your plan."

"What do you think?" Chen Gu asked with a smile.

Wang Zhi raised his head and arrogantly said, "As long as two thousand soldiers are united, they can take down that lonely city in one breath. Why go through so much trouble? "

Chen Mu shook his head slowly, "Sir Supervisor, let me ask you, how many men and horses did Master Dou expend when he defeated the Huns?"

Wang Zhi's face was as calm as water. "About three thousand, so what?"

"That's it, Master Dou will consume three thousand men. We only have two thousand men, and half of us are soldiers of Shanshan. Even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses. If the Huns fight back later, how can we fight back?"

Wang Zhi did not think so, "Hmph, how many troops did the Huns have back then, do you know? At present, they were only stationed as a motley crowd, carrying the flag of the Huns and putting on a show of strength. Why do we have to suffer heavy losses? "

Chen Nu said, "Then may I ask how many soldiers and horses are there in Iwo?"

Where did Wang Zhi come from to find out how many soldiers and horses there were in Ilyu? Upon being questioned by Chen Mu, Zhang Xuan's face turned red, and he was rendered speechless.

"As far as I know," continued Chen, "there are five hundred troops stationed here, but the poor are good at riding and shooting, and everyone is good at fighting. If all the people add up to at least eight hundred or three thousand, then if everyone wants to make an enemy of the Han army, then the city of Ishu will be strong and it will be hard to defend and it won't be easy to fight. This place was connected to the north of the mountain, and belonged to the west of the Huns. If they didn't push their way through, when the Huns came with their army, they would inevitably fall into a bitter struggle. As a military overseer, you can't know yourself and know your enemy, yet you're pointing fingers and pointing fingers at the general. What's the logic behind this? "

Wang Zhi was at a loss for words, "About the situation in Yi Wu Lu, you... How do you know? "

Chen Nu laughed, "I've been in the Western Regions for more than ten years. Naturally, I know every single place, which is why Class Superclass has chosen me as their general. Overseers, gentlemen, I know that you are all capable men of Lord Dou, all experienced heroes and warriors. I am not a talented man, but I am just a commoner from a pastoral family, so it is only right that you don't believe me. It was just that the matters of the Western Regions were complicated and could not be solved by force alone. "There are many military strategies and strategies. Knowing your enemy well is not enough, and you all do not understand the situation in Yi Wu Lu. Even though the Emperor is mighty and my army is strong, I am willing to bring twenty men to Yi Wu Lu and take the head of the garrison. Isn't that much better than wasting manpower?"

Wang Zhi had long since disliked Chen Mu. He thought to himself, "Even good words can't persuade a damned ghost!" I kindly told you not to take the risk, but you humiliated me. If you want to die, why should I stop you?

However, it's just as you said, there is nothing funny in the army. You can go if you want to, but you can't disrupt the morale by signing the military order. If you succeed, you will become a lieutenant.
