Chapter 1686: Expedition

The two looked at each other and were silent for a long time......

Since ancient times, the husband went on the expedition, and the wife was worried day and night at home, not thinking about tea and dinner, this feeling Ye Shikai can understand, last time he pretended to be a traveling doctor, left alone, and only went to Bashu for just two weeks, He Linghan was already haggard, and this time he went to Bashu, he commanded no less than 200,000 Chu troops, and raised 500,000 stones of grain and grass, which was enough to eat for several months, although Ye Shikai's strategy was to fight quickly and not to delay the war, but the battlefield was also changing rapidly, and the plan always couldn't catch up with the changes, so everything had to be fully prepared。

Having said that, as soon as Ye Shikai left like this, he didn't return for several months, He Linghan's heart was naturally empty, she only hoped that Ye Shikai could be safe, even if she really won, she could get nothing more than a gold and silver reward from the government, but if she loses, Ye Shikai, as the boss, even if he doesn't die on the battlefield, when he returns to Linxiang City, I'm afraid he will be rejected by the ministers of the DPRK and China, or even punished, therefore, for He Linghan, going on the expedition will "do her a hundred harms but no benefits".

"Then go, go early and come back early, and stay safe. He Linghan was not very excited, but said lightly, acting very calmly.

"Ling'er, aren't you excited. ”

"If you already know you're going, why bother to be so sad when you leave. He Linghan smiled faintly.

"Husband, promise me not to have an accident, okay? ”

"Okay, I'll just promise you. Ye Shikai nodded and replied, "I am a cultivator, and ordinary people are not my opponents. ”

"Then you also have to pay attention to safety, if there are cultivators in the Qin army, you still have to pay attention to safety, in addition, you must pay attention to your body on the battlefield. ”

"Alright, don't worry, I understand. Ye Shikai breathed a sigh of relief, he was originally very worried about He Linghan's reaction, whether he would be emotional, whether he would be depressed, or even depressed, but now it seems that he will not be worried, He Linghan is mentally prepared.

"By the way, remember what you promised me. He Linghan said suddenly.

"Of course. ”

He Linghan suddenly turned around and ran into the kitchen, took a few bags of things, and put them on the table.

"What is this? ”

"It's all the snacks I asked the servant to make for you, and you don't have anything to eat on the march, so if you are hungry, take it out and eat a little. He Linghan opened the bag, the "material conditions" of this era are not so good, these "small snacks" are naturally not as modern as modern, but they are also delicious, anyway, Ye Shikai is not picky.

"Ling'er, I'm going to fight, not traveling, and I'm a commander, how can I eat all the snacks, if the sergeants see it, it will have a bad impact. ”

"It's okay, anyway, no one sees you in the tent, besides, you're the commander, you should always have some ...... Privilege it. He Linghan hurriedly stuffed a few bags of snacks into his arms.

"Alright then, I'll take your wishes. Ye Shikai put the "snacks" in the storage ring, this was He Linghan's intention, he couldn't refuse.

"Husband, when are you leaving? ”

"The date for the expedition has been set today, and it will be the day after tomorrow. Ye Shikai replied.

"Are you okay tomorrow...... If it's okay, stay home. ”

"Well, that's fine. ”

…………………………………………………………………

The day after tomorrow.

Ye Shikai changed into a handsome suit and set off from home, he got up early, it was still dark outside, and He Linghan hadn't woken up yet.

"Master, are you leaving, Madame hasn't woken up yet. Seeing that Ye Shikai was about to leave, Lotus asked softly.

"Let her continue to sleep, she must be uncomfortable these days. Ye Shikai turned his head to look at the room, and said lightly, when parting, it is better not to meet, or not to meet.

"Wow. ”

Ye Shikai was accompanied by the soldiers he recruited this time, among which the brave man formed a death squad, the secret guard was his personal guard, and Xu Jia helped him, Ye Shikai was very relieved, the school in the city had gathered 100,000 Chinese troops, and Ye Shikai, as the commander, should naturally sit in the Chinese army.

"Mancang, this time the 30,000 pioneers are under your command, and you have a great responsibility, so you must not live up to the expectations of the whole army. Ye Shikai, as the commander-in-chief, naturally wants to appoint his cronies to important positions, but it is not that he uses his relatives to be virtuous, with the blood of Mancang, it is worthy of the name to hold this position, and these 30,000 pioneers are naturally imitating the training method of "Wei Wushu", and the combat power can be called the strongest in the whole army.

"Please rest assured, General Ye, this time to attack Bashu, my vanguard army will definitely be the first to break through Chengdu. ”

Ye Shikai stepped onto the stage and looked at the army below, such a mighty team, it was really spectacular, he was also the first time to command so many troops, the responsibility was heavy, Ye Shikai did not dare to relax a little, many of these troops are recruits, but after so many months of training, they have become combatants, and what they are waiting for is a real battle.

"The whole army obeyed the order. Ye Shikai pulled out his sword and pointed it into the air.

"Expedition. ”

Five days later.

"Report, General Man led 20,000 troops, broke through the Qin army camp, beheaded more than 3,000 people, captured 2,000, and asked for instructions on how to deal with the prisoners of war. ”

"Escort to the rear camp, hand it over to the guard battalion, and if there is resistance, you can be killed on the spot. ”

"Report, the cavalry of the Qin army attacked the front camp of our army from the flank, and has now been repelled by our army, General Wang asked for instructions on whether to send troops to pursue. ”

"Mr. Xu, what do you think? ”

"The Shu Road is complicated, and the Qin army sent cavalry, not to take our army by surprise, but just to test it so that General Wang could not pursue. ”

"Wow. ”

Ye Shikai looked at the sand table map on the table, and couldn't help but feel a headache, Xu Jia also said just now, the road to Shu is rugged, how to deploy the troops of the 200,000 army is very important, in addition, last time Wang Li built many stronghold camps along the way, and later the local garrison recruited the people to dig deep ditches and build high bases, although the hard attack can also be overcome, but the loss is too great, and it is very time-consuming, even if it is the elite of the ironclad army, it is also a group of people rushing up, and batch by batch falling.

"Mr. Xu, before I set out, you advised me to surprise my troops, now is the time. ”

"The general doesn't have to be in a hurry, the essence of the surprise soldier is to surprise and attack it unprepared, but it also needs the cooperation of the right time, place and people. Xu Jia was not in a hurry and said lightly.

However, if the army wants to enter Sichuan, it must go through the "homecoming", which is not conducive to the development of the army, but the Qin army has built more than a dozen camps here to support each other. ”
