Chapter 287: Quickly withdraw the former army back
Outside Wurong County, it has been more than two hours since 3,000 elite soldiers and 3,000 auxiliary soldiers were deployed.
At present, the barracks have shrunk a large circle, but the atmosphere is solemn, as if it is ready to prevent changes that may occur at any time.
In the tent of the Chinese army, Song Yinting and his advisers, as well as several Qufu Confucians, were all silent.
It had been discussed for two hours, but there was still no result.
Song Yinting got up and paced, and silently recited: "Therefore, there is a doubt...... Cover people's eyes...... Ming Xiu Plank Road...... Darkness Chencang...... What the hell is he going to do?"
"Could it be that we're overthinking?" someone said.
"It is better to be overthought than to be overlooked. Song Shijin said.
Some nodded in agreement, thinking that this was indeed the case.
"Could it be related to those two dead palace maids?" someone asked.
"No," someone shook his head and said: "The death of two palace maids is not a big deal compared to colluding with the Moon Worship Cult, even if Zhang Chengtao frames it with this, it will not help." What's more, if he wanted to make a fuss about those two palace maids, he wouldn't send people to make trouble in the barracks. ”
"What are the origins of those two palace maids?" Song Shijin suddenly asked.
"It was said that Concubine Shu was in Bianjing, but she was always worried about Zhang Chengtao's body, and the Holy Lord sympathized with Concubine Shu, so he sent two palace maids over to help take care of Zhang Chengtao's daily life. Someone replied: "But some people say that these are the two eyeliners that the saint planted beside him because he was suspicious of Zhang Chengtao." ”
"In this way, even if he frames his uncle, it doesn't hurt...... Because the two men were staring at him, not at this side. Song Shijin nodded.
"Could it be that Zhang Chengtao has strong reinforcements?" said the strategist in the tent with a frown.
"If there is really strong reinforcement, it can explain why he is suspicious. It's just that he has any strong support?" Song Yinting said.
The strategist walked to the map, pondered for a long time, and pointed to Tingzhou and Jianzhou: "What if there are ambushes in these two places, and they should join forces with Zhangzhou Xuanqi to flank my army?"
"You mean, Zhang Chengtao really colluded with the Moon Worship Cult?" Song Yinting said in a deep voice.
"You can't be on guard. The strategist nodded.
My nephew also thinks that this is the most likely. Song Shijin echoed.
"If there are ambushes in Jianzhou and Ting, it is nothing more than demons and evils, but why don't you see the movements of these demons when you take the road to level Jianzhou and Yanping?"
Everyone was silent, but Song Shijin suddenly stood up.
"Uncle, don't you think it's a little too light to take Jianzhou and Yanping in steps?"
Song Yinting was shocked in his heart, and immediately understood what he meant, but he felt that this statement was a bit far-fetched.
Song Shijin didn't care what others thought, he walked straight to the map, pointed to Jianzhou Mansion and said: "This place seems to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, but we only see the mountains in the southeast direction, separated from Zhangzhou Mansion!
He covered Tingzhou with his hand, made a downward gesture, and swept over the Jianzhou Mansion: "With the power of thousands of demons and evil spirits, sweeping in, will it be blocked? If it is not blocked, it will be forced to death by them; if it is blocked, the belly and back will be given to the Xuanqi of Zhangzhou! This is a turtle caught in an urn! No wonder the Moon Worship Cult deliberately gave up the two mansions of Jianzhou and Yanping! This is a big pocket and deliberately let us drill!"
The crowd was stunned and speechless.
After a while, someone whispered, "...... What the prince said is not unreasonable. ”
The gray-haired strategist also nodded with a stiff face.
This time, Song Yinting really came to a dilemma.
If Song Shijin said that it was right, the 6,000 soldiers and horses brought by Jiang Hongyi and He Yanmin had fallen into the trap opened by the Moon Worship Cult, and they had to be withdrawn immediately before they had time!
But if Song Shijin was wrong, then once this army was withdrawn, it would be equivalent to temporarily abandoning the Jianzhou Mansion, and placing Bu'an and his seven divisions under the front of the Zhangzhou Xuancai!
This choice has nothing to do with morality and ethics, but only about which inference is right!
"Could it be that Zhangzhou Xuan rode into the mountain, it was expected that we would divide our troops into two places, and then echo with the moon worship demon, echoing the north and south, and sandwiching the sword state mansion together?" Song Yinting frowned.
"Uncle just need to think about it, my army has been coming to Qifu for more than half a year, and not an inch of land has been advanced, why did we take Jianzhou and Yanping with only 200 people! Moreover, it is the two provinces of Yanping in Jianzhou!" Song Shijin pointed to the map.
Song Yinting was a little shaken, what his nephew said hit the only doubt in his heart. Bu An mentioned to him about his experience of how to level the Jianzhou Mansion, the use of subtlety is like a heavenly man, but after all, there is a way around it.
He only has 200 people! 200 people from the rivers and lakes! In just two months, it is difficult to restrain these people, so how can he use the strength of these 200 people to deal with the demons and evil spirits that spread all over Jianzhou and Yanping?
"Withdraw!" Song Yinting suddenly shouted: "Quickly send someone to withdraw the front army! Send someone to Ningyang County, the capital of Jianzhou, and let the prince also withdraw!"
Immediately, some of the soldiers rushed out of the tent when they heard the news.
Soon after, a troop of cavalry galloped out of the tent like a gust of wind.
Song Manqiu passed by this group of cavalry by himself and on a horse, and when he came to Song Yin's tent, he sat down and fell down - the horse was too fast, and the horse had been urged to foam at the mouth.
"Daddy!" Song Manqiu broke into the military tent and waved his hand and shouted: "Everyone go out!"
"Manqiu, what's wrong with you!" Song Yinting exclaimed.
"One hundred thousand urgent! This matter can only be known to Daddy!" Song Manqiu's mouth was dry, and his face was extremely anxious.
When everyone heard this, they all ran out of the military tent without waiting for Song Yinting's order. Song Shijin was a little reluctant, but he also walked out in three steps and one turn around.
"Manqiu!What is it!!What is it that makes you anxious like this?!" Song Yinting asked in a deep voice.
"Daddy, you look at this first!" Song Manqiu handed over the note stuffed into his chest.
"There is an ice boat on the river, and when the boat reaches Bianliang, your family's life will be over. What do you mean?" Song Yinting finished reading the note, his face dazed.
"This is what the abbot of Quanzhou Kaiyuan Temple told his daughter before he passed away. Song Manqiu said hurriedly.
"Abbot Puci, Abbot Puci has passed away?" Song Yinting seemed to be unable to believe his ears: "Didn't you go to find Bu Gongzi? Why did you go to Kaiyuan Temple?"
"It's hard to say!" Song Manqiu suddenly remembered that Bu An asked her not to mention herself no matter what, so she said: "When my daughter came out of the camp, she felt that Zhang Chengtao's plan to transfer the tiger from the mountain was too superficial, and there must be something strange about this matter, but Heng Zhi couldn't figure it out, what would he do!
"And then?" Song Yinting secretly exclaimed ashamed, he and the people under the tent didn't see it, Song Shijin and Song Manqiu actually thought of it.
"I went to the mountains and met Master Guangkai......"
"That's Abbot Puci's descendant disciple!" Song Yinting exclaimed.
"My daughter also found out later!" Song Manqiu said: "That Master Guangkai was reluctant to help me at first, until ...... It wasn't until his daughter said the calendar that he agreed to go to the abbot of Puci to plead, and when he came back, he told his daughter that the abbot had just passed away, and before he passed away, he said the words on this note!"
"Manqiu, do you know how heavy the note is?" Song Yinting looked stunned.
"My daughter knows! Abbot Puci ...... because he leaked the secret of heaven" Song Manqiu was emotional for a while, and she couldn't say it anymore.
"This is a great kindness! Abbot Puci knows cause and effect, and if he is so specific, there is no surprise!" Song Yinting silently read into the note: "There is an ice boat on the river, and the boat will arrive in Bianjing...... The boat that can get to Bianjing is on the canal!"
