Chapter 187: The Commander of the Account
"Haha......haha..."Xiao Moheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, when he was in Jiankang, although he and Mu Xiaohe both let out big words, but the two of them were sad along the way, first, they were not familiar with Beihe's soldiers, and secondly, they had no experience in fighting against the Yan army. Why is it that now that she has arrived at Jingling, Jiang Mei's side looks relaxed, as if it is not a problem to take down Beihe.
Similarly, Mu Xiaohe also realized that Jiang Mei's departure from the capital was probably intentional, Mu Bai said this, obviously they were sure of victory. So he also cast an appreciative glance at Jiang Mei.
But while the two of them were happy, they also had a sour taste, Mu Bai's two "Mei'er" just now had revealed that he and Jiang Mei had a very good relationship, Xiao Moheng was even more jealous, but Mu Xiaohe secretly thought that Jiang Mei was surrounded by so many virtuous people, and he saw that Jiang Mei was so kind when she talked to them, so what was she in her heart. Thinking about it, I can't help but feel a little lost and sad.
So the expressions of the two of them are quite complicated at the moment.
Jiang Mei, who is smart, was confused in terms of feelings for a while, where could she think of this, but instead cast an affectionate smile at Mu Bai, which was even more heart-wrenching in Xiao Moheng's eyes, could it be that this Mu was her fiancΓ© who had been on the expedition for many years and had not returned? At this time, Mu Xiaohe also looked at Xiao Moheng, their eyes met, and then they both lowered their heads, it seemed that he also had the same idea.
I don't know why, since the armies from all walks of life gathered in Jingling, Jiang Mei is very happy, happy that her plan for many years will finally be implemented, and even happier that so many comrades-in-arms around her have completed that long-cherished wish with her.
At the moment, she didn't notice the expressions of Xiao and Mu, and just smiled at the two: "Your Highness." Shizi, Mu is also my long-lost relative and friend," Jiang Mei said as soon as she said it, Xiao and Mu's hearts were half cold, it seems that they guessed correctly.
Xiao Moheng tried his best to hide his heartache, lowered his eyes and went to drink, only to hear Jiang Mei continue: "He has gone deep into the hinterland of Dayan, and he is very familiar with Dayan's generals and Beihe's troops, with him, there is no worry about defeating Beihe!" β
Xiao Moheng pretended to smile and said, "I can get the general's help." It's a blessing for Dahuan! β
Mu Bai got up again and said, "Mu Ye was originally a citizen of Dahuan. There were relatives who died at the hands of Beihe, so Mu also swore to kill Beihe to remove this hidden danger for Dahuan! β
Xiao Moheng's heart moved, no wonder there was a faint murderous aura on him. It turned out that he had a deep enmity with the North Crane. There was a hint of sympathy in my heart.
"Good! The general was imposing. This king appreciates, come, a cup to the general! "Xiao Moheng is uncomfortable. Nor can the love of children affect the current war situation. was infected by Mu Bai's heroism, so he raised his glass to respect.
"Don't dare to be!" Mu Bai Sui also gave a toast in return.
"Dare to ask the girl's strategy to break the enemy?" Xiao Moheng didn't forget to ask the truth after drinking a glass of wine.
Jiang Mei nodded when she heard this, so she came one by one: "Your Highness, the prince, if Beihe wants to occupy Jingxiang, he will take Xiakou and Jiangling, and if he captures Jiangling, he can take the nine counties of Jingxiang by taking advantage of the situation, and if he takes Xiakou, he can go down the river to Jiangzhou and Jiankang." So I guess he will march in three ways, all the way to Suijun, down the river to Jiangxia, and then to Xiakou; the other way to attack Yicheng, and then pass through Linfu and Maicheng until Gangneung; The third road will follow the Hanshui area towards Jingling. Jiang Mei said clearly.
As she spoke, everyone nodded, so it was now time to intercept his three routes.
"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, the girl has a deep understanding of the art of war!" Xiao Moheng praised, and then continued: "I have already summoned Liu Ji from Jiangling and asked him to take 20,000 horses north to Linfang and cooperate in the battle. It's just that we must not only defend, but also attack. β
"Your Highness is wise!" Jiang Mei owed, "Xiaomei has this intention, and it is also a clever move to attack and defend." β
"What does that girl mean?" Xiao Moheng asked at the right time, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Back to His Royal Highness, now Dayan Chen has 300,000 soldiers, 170,000 in Xiangyang, 50,000 in Nanyang, and 80,000 in Guangchang. Suijun currently only has 15,000 troops, so His Highness has to send troops to help Suijun. Jiang Mei replied.
This is Xiao Moheng suddenly frowned, and said worriedly to Qiu Shaoping: "General Qiu is in Jingling at this time, so aren't you afraid that Beihe will send troops to attack Suijun?" β
Qiu Shaoping glanced at Jiang Mei, then nodded and smiled, "What His Highness said is true, but we have already taken precautions, the northwest of Suijun is Tongbai Mountain, the southwest is Dahong Mountain, there is only a flat corridor in the middle, we have set up ambushes on both sides, if he comes, he will be in the middle!" β
"I see, tomorrow I will send another 20,000 troops to Suijun!" Xiao Moheng said on his lips, but he was worried in his heart, Suijun's line was very important, and he was afraid that Qiu Shaoping would be invincible alone, so he was thinking about who to let help Qiu Shaoping?
At this time, Mu Xiaohe got up and said, "Your Highness, I had the help of General Qiu last time, so let me go and guard Suijun with General Qiu this time!" β
Xiao Moheng smiled, "That's very good!" β
"Thank you, Shizi!" Qiu Shaoping also said.
Jiang Mei also cast a supportive look at Mu Xiaohe, she also had this plan.
"Please continue, girl..."Xiao Moheng then said to Jiang Mei again,
"Yes, although the Yan army will be divided into three routes, the main force will attack Yicheng, Yicheng is in the north of Jingling, and if you take Yicheng, you can not only take Jiangling, but also take Jingling. So our first step is to defend Yicheng. However, Beihe came to Xiangyang for ten days, and let his forward general attack Yicheng twice, General Ling Heng has been dealing with him several times, once he let him win, but he did not let him get Yicheng, but Beihe will definitely attack Yicheng in a big way next. β
Everyone nodded one after another, and holding Yicheng could curb the momentum of Beihe's southward movement.
"And what about the girl's offensive strategy?" Xiao Moheng continued to ask.
Jiang Mei took a sip of water, and then said: "We naturally want to recapture Xiangyang, but taking Xiangyang is not our ultimate goal, and to enter the Central Plains, we must take this vast flat land between Xiangyang and Nanyang, where troops can be sent everywhere, Hanzhong can be taken to the west, Chang'an can be taken to the northwest, Luoyang can be taken to the northeast, and Jingxiang and Shouchun can be led to the south." So Xiaomei came up with a surprise army to attack Nanyang, and then break through the new field between Nanyang and Xiangyang. Occupy the upper reaches of Xiangyang. Long-distance raids are taboo in soldiers, and Beihe would never have imagined that we had the ability and courage to dare to go deep into his rear. β
"Good! This is a good plan for me! The girl really has a strategy! Xiao Moheng couldn't help but praise.
"Haha... I said earlier that Miss Jiang has the skill of strategizing! Mu Xiaohe also smiled.
At this time, someone accidentally interjected, "Shizi, when my little aunt wears men's clothes, she doesn't like others to call her a girl!" Xiao Yunyan expressed his presence in a timely manner.
"You!" Jiang Mei puffed out her cheeks and couldn't help but wrinkle her brows and reprimand.
"Haha..."
"Haha..."
The crowd couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Mei leaned forward and backwards when she saw the laughter of the full hall, blinked her eyes and looked at the top of the hall, ignoring the crowd, waiting for everyone's laughter to fade. She asked solemnly, "Dare to ask how many soldiers and horses Your Highness has brought now." How many good generals are there? β
Xiao Moheng held back a smile, straightened his sleeves and said, "The capital has brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, 10,000 in Yuzhou, and 40,000 in Jingzhou. A total of 70,000 soldiers and horses. Currently in this part of the army. Good generals include Hao Zhanwei, Chu Yutang, Zhong Fuyun, Xin Zuo, and Tao Yiran and Shang Zhi, whom I transferred from Beifu. In addition, Liu Ji also has 20,000 soldiers and horses. β
"Uh-huh." Jiang Mei nodded. Hao Zhanwei was originally a Jiangzhou general, and Chu Yutang was Pei Yun's old general. Zhong Fuyun and Xin Zuo were the generals of the court.
At this time, Gao Chi also arched his hand and said: "There are more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou, and the good generals are Xu Liang, Shangguan Xian, Tian Zigeng and Wei Chihun. Hearing this, Xiao Moheng also glanced at the four generals behind him, and saw that they all looked solemn, and sighed that Gao Chi was strict in governing the army.
"Okay, there are more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in Jingling, 20,000 in Yicheng, 20,000 in Shicheng, and 15,000 troops in Suijun are led by General Qiu Shaoping." Jiang Mei also reported. Shicheng is the seat of Jingling County, which is also known as Jingling City on weekdays.
"In this way, we have a total of 190,000 troops, which is also a huge army, but it is still less than the 300,000 army of Beihe." Mu Xiaohe thought about it and said with some worry.
"It's okay, there are not many soldiers, besides, we can fight with war!" Jiang Mei said confidently,
"This is very true, this son of the world will give a cup to Yun Gongzi!" Mu Xiaohe raised his glass with a smile in his eyes.
Jiang Mei was helpless, glanced at Yun Yan, and raised her glass to salute.
"The girl just said that she would attack Nanyang and Xinye in two ways, who is the most suitable to go on the expedition?" Xiao Moheng turned his head sideways and asked, which generals are good at defending and attacking, and it is not clear that he has come from afar.
"Hehe" Jiang Mei got up and saluted, then glanced at the hall, and said: "Your Highness, Fei Lian is the best at long-distance running, and he is also good at raiding, but if you want to raid Nanyang, it is most appropriate to march from Yiyang, Yiyang has 10,000 soldiers and horses, so I want Fei Lian to lead the troops through Wusheng Pass to meet the defenders of Yiyang, and then rush to Nanyang." β
"It's so good, but it's such a large-scale long-range attack, are you sure?" Xiao Moheng glanced at Fei Lian, touched his chin, and pondered.
"I want to find General Gao to borrow General Shangguan Xian to go on the expedition together, and I will also accompany the army!" Jiang Mei smiled proudly. This is what she had thought about a long time ago, and she wanted to take Nanyang personally.
"No way!"
"No way!"
"No way!"
As soon as Jiang Mei's voice fell, she was stopped by three voices, Xiao Moheng, Mu Bai and Jiuzhu behind Jiang Mei, the three of them said in unison. Jiang Mei was stunned for a moment, and looked at the sources of the voices everywhere.
In fact, even Gao Chi was unwilling, but his "no" was choked in his throat and couldn't be issued.
"Haha... Your Royal Highness, you see, this girl is a master who doesn't want to die, she almost lost her life in Jingzhou last time, and she doesn't have a long memory this time. During the battle of Jingzhou, I said that nothing could stop her, let alone help her, Your Highness, now you have to treat her well, otherwise she will be lawless. Mu Xiaohe said angrily, looking at Jiang Mei with a helpless face.
"This king won't let you go to the battlefield, you can make good plans at home!" Xiao Moheng said solemnly, his tone revealing non-negotiable majesty. He is not Mu Xiaohe, and he is not so easily deceived by her.
"Your Highness is right, you just follow the Chinese army, how can you go to Nanyang to take risks!" Mu Bai also said angrily, for this girl, he cares very much.
"Miss, don't forget what you promised Ruoxue!" Jiuzhu also made up for it in a timely manner. And Ruoyun next to him nodded vigorously.
Jiang Mei was shocked when she heard this, she didn't take the words of the previous few people to heart, but Jiuzhu's words hit her heart.
Everyone saw that Jiuzhu had moved Ruoxue out, and they knew that Jiang Mei's sad mood had been affected again. Jiang Mei's whole face instantly darkened, her face turned slightly pale, and everyone was extremely unbearable, and they all cast concerned eyes.
Jiang Mei was stunned for a while, then came back to her senses, and said calmly: "What you said is right, Beihe has no weak soldiers under him, and Nanyang is also dangerous, not to mention that Beihe is very good at using soldiers, and he will definitely set up an ambush!" Xiao Moheng is the commander of the three armies, she doesn't want to offend his kindness on the spot, so she can only change the topic.
"Yes, the Northern Crane is the best at attacking with a deviant division, especially when the other party is unexpected, such as... He knew that when His Highness arrived at Jingling tonight, he would definitely send someone to attack! Mu Bai said slowly, a mysterious smile flashed in his eyes,
"Oh?" Xiao Moheng's eyebrows tightened, "I'm afraid he calculates that I just arrived and am not familiar with the battle situation, so he will give me a dismount!" β
Mu Xiaohe looked at Mu Bai and Jiang Mei's expressions, and saw that the two of them were so calm, so he said, "So the girl and General Mu have already made arrangements?" β
Jiang Mei smiled, "I haven't greeted His Royal Highness and the prince from afar just now, I went to set up defenses, and I can't let him come and go tonight!" β
"Back and forth? What does the girl mean? Xiao Moheng raised his eyebrows and asked with a chuckle,
"Let their people come, let our people go!" Jiang Mei sneered.
After Jiang Mei finished speaking, everyone in the hall laughed. Xiao Moheng couldn't help but look at her with pity, just looking at that unfamiliar face, how to look at it, how strange. Although the face was as handsome as a crown of jade, he didn't like it at all. Because that's not what he wants to see.
After Xiao Moheng was silent for a moment, he thought that since he had already discussed it, it was time to give an order, so he got up and said loudly: "The generals will listen to the order!" β
"Your Highness, please!" Then everyone stood up and spoke in unison.
"Please Mu Shizi lead 20,000 soldiers and horses, go to Suijun early tomorrow morning, and guard Suijun with General Qiu Shaoping!" Xiao Moheng took the lead in facing Mu Xiao and said.
"Command!" Mu Xiaohe and Qiu Shaoping walked to the front of the hall and arched their hands.
"General Gao Chi" Xiao Moheng looked at Gao Chidao again.
"Your Highness, please!"
"Please General Gao lead 40,000 soldiers and horses, and go to the east of Yicheng early tomorrow morning, the area west of Dahong Mountain, and form a corner with Yicheng, and defend Yicheng and Jingling!"
"Yes!" Gao Chi said and stepped aside.
"General Muye!" Xiao Moheng looked sideways at Mu Ye beside Jiang Mei again.
"In!"
"This king will give you another 20,000 soldiers and horses, and ask the general to rush to Yicheng overnight!" General Ling Heng also guarded Yicheng with General Mu Ye. β
"Command!"
"Fei Lian, where are the two generals Shangguan Xian?"
"The last general!"
"Shangguan Xian leads 10,000 soldiers and horses in Yiyang, Feilian leads 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jingling, and he will send troops to Nanyang at sunset tomorrow!"
"Order!"
"In addition, the two generals, Chu Yutang and Xin Zuo, followed the prince to Suijun."
"The last general commands!" The two replied loudly.
"The other generals will follow the king to guard the Chinese army!" Xiao Moheng finally commanded.
"No!"
"This king wishes all the generals a victory! Come! Cheers! Xiao Moheng raised his wine glass and congratulated the generals.
"To Your Highness!" Everyone also got up and put their cups in joy. (To be continued......)
