Chapter 201: Perfect Layout
Jiang Mei, who had been listening attentively to the sound of the wind and rain outside the window, suddenly came to her senses, her dark eyes turned, and she understood what Xiao Moheng was asking, so she got up and arched her hand: "Your Highness, Jiang Mei has endured for many years, just to take down Beihe, every strategy and every strategy is designed for him, so I have to go and make some trouble for Murong Yue, so that the two of them will be attacked on their backs, so that His Highness and General Gao can defeat the elite of the Yan army in one fell swoop!" As long as this battle is won, the Yan army will lose its morale, and the people will surrender! ”
Jiangmei's mouth is like a hanging river, her eyes are like stars, and a heroic spirit arises spontaneously.
Xiao Moheng admired it again and smiled bitterly, so he shook his head and said, "Okay, Beihe should be busy with defense and military salaries now, and I can't care about you!" ”
"Your Highness is very right!" Jiang Mei fanned her feathers, so she was so casual and natural.
Even Gao Chi, who was standing on the side, looked at her cute appearance and chuckled, he sighed in his heart: After so many years, Miss is still Miss, and that deep strategy will always be hidden under the indifference and chic.
Jiang Mei only rested in Shangluo for one night, and the next evening, she left Yue Hua and Ru Hui to follow Xiao Moheng, and she took Luoxuan, Jiuzhu and Ruoyun to Chang'an along the mountain road.
When Jiang Mei rushed to Chang'an across the mountain road, Mu Bai occupied Shangqi through a surprise attack on both sides, but he had more than one general under Yi Qing, after he captured the southern Zheng and Wudu in Hanzhong, the defenders of the two cities, Lu Yang and Sheng Youtang, came to run, and Mu Bai also gladly accepted, coupled with the original strength of Hanzhong, Mu Bai had nearly 50,000 troops at this time. Hanzhong has a lot of money, and the supply in the army is also sufficient. Mu Bai then responded to the next battle with great spirits.
Unlike the previous deliberately concealed identity in Yicheng and Xiangyang, since entering Hanzhong, Mu Bai abandoned his silver mask, at this moment he is heroic, and he seems to have returned more than ten years ago, and he is going to take the dreams of his brothers to complete their unfinished business. From now on, he will go all out to defeat the Northern Expedition as the Yun family's army. Smash the old cave of the North Crane. Avenge the dead souls.
"Yi Qing, where has Fei Lian been?" Mu Bai looked at the situation map of the mountains and rivers in the Guanzhong area, and asked.
At this moment, Yi Qing was standing behind him. Still respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Master." Just received a flying pigeon book. General Fei has already arrived at Wulipo! ”
When Mu Bai heard this, his finger pointed to Wulipo on the map, and he smiled lightly. "He can reach Yixian in two days at most!" Mu Bai immediately turned around and instructed Yi Qing: "Go, call General Lu and General Sheng over!" ”
"Yes!" Yi Qing answered, and immediately left the hall.
After a short while, Yi Qingbian and the two generals entered the small hall of the discussion.
Lu Yang and Sheng Youtang both arched their hands and said, "General Mu! ”
When Mu Bai saw the two of them come in, his face was overjoyed, so he hurriedly replied: "The two generals have worked hard, please take a seat!" ”
The two were not polite, so they sat on both sides of Mu Bai, and Mu Bai first asked Lu Yang: "General Lu, can the people of Shangtai still obey?" ”
Since taking Shangqi, Lu Yang has been patrolling the city, because Mu Bai has already set the rules, preferential treatment of prisoners, autumn has not committed any crimes, the people are vying to return, he is also happy, so he hurriedly smiled: "The general is strictly disciplined, the soldiers who entered the city have not committed any crimes, the city is orderly, and the people are congratulating each other!" ”
Mu Bai laughed when he heard this, "That's really the case! ”
"That's true!" Lu Yang replied with a smile.
"Great, since ancient times, those who have used soldiers are important in attacking the heart, as long as the people are attached to it, and the people want it, why not break the Yan army?" Mu Bai said boldly, since he led the troops out of Hanzhong alone, he has more surprise soldiers, won many battles, through Yicheng and Xiangyang, he has not been on the battlefield for many years has gradually entered the best situation, so the pride in his chest also exuded.
"The general is far-sighted and uses soldiers like a god, I admire him!" Lu Yang and the other three said in unison.
"Haha... The two generals don't have to be polite, let's have a few drinks first, and then talk about the march! With that, Mu Bai picked up the big cup and drank a cup.
The three people in the hall did not hesitate, and drank a few glasses in a row.
After the three of them drank the wine, Mu Bai gathered his mind and said: "Generals, tomorrow I want to send troops to attack Sanguan!" ”
Lu Yang and Sheng Youtang glanced at each other, then moved their gaze to Mu Bai, and said firmly: "We want to follow the general to capture Sanguan!" ”
"Uh-huh," Mu Bai nodded, then got up and looked at the map behind him, and the three of them also got up and walked to his side, studying the march route with him.
"The east of Sanguan is the Qinling Mountains, the west is Longshan, the north is near the Wei River, the danger of choking mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I don't know what suggestions the two generals have!" Mu Bai asked lightly, there was a hint of tentative interest in his deep eyes, he didn't know if the two of them also knew some ways to use soldiers.
Sheng Youtang pondered for a while, and sighed slightly: "I have been to Sanguan many times, the mountains around Sanguan are either like lying cows, or like galloping horses, the situation is dangerous, and if you attack strongly, you are afraid of excessive losses, if you can outwit it, it is the best!" "Sheng Youtang is now nearly half a hundred years old, he has been guarding the military capital for many years, and he is an out-and-out veteran.
Mu Bai nodded heavily when he heard this, Sheng Youtang said every word about his heart, and he was really a steady veteran.
While Mu Bai was pondering, Lu Yang raised his sleeves and said: "General, although Sanguan is the main way to enter Guanzhong, it is not necessarily the only channel, since Murong Yue guards Sanguan with heavy troops, then we will avoid the real and attack it unprepared!" "The Luyang family has been guarding Nanzheng for generations, is a big family in the Nanzheng area, has great influence in the Han Dynasty, the ancestors of the Lu family were originally ministers of Dahuan, after Dayan occupied the Central Plains, the Lu family guarded Nanzheng to protect themselves, until the North Crane lived in Guanzhong, Corporal Zeng Lixian, the Lu family had no choice but to succumb to it.
Now Dahuan Bingfeng pointed to, intended to recover the homeland, everywhere the people are happy to greet each other, this is also one of the reasons why Mu Bai can successfully capture Hanzhong, after Mu Bai entered Hanzhong, treat the Lu family well, quite admired by Lu Yang, Lu Yang then returned to Dahuan, and wanted to follow him to make contributions to Dahuan.
When Mu Bai heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and a fine light shot out of his eyes, at that moment he felt a great sense of sympathy, just this sentence, Mu Bai was impressed by Lu Yang. Because what Lu Yang said was exactly what he had planned earlier.
Mu Bai looked at Lu Yang and Sheng Youtang, and laughed: "Haha! What the two generals said coincided with me, if you can get two generals, why worry about not being able to break through Chang'an! ”
"Haha, the general praises also!" Lu Yang said modestly, Sheng Youtang only smiled modestly, and then he continued to ask, "How is the general going to send troops?" ”
Mu Bai then pointed to the map and said: "Generals, please see, the Chinese army of the Seventh Highness has arrived in Shangluo, and it will capture the pass in a few days, the same." The main force of the Yan army was also in the southeast of Chang'an. Immediately, Mu Bai moved to the west again, pointed to the Sanguan area, and said: "So we must take the opportunity to break through the defense line on the west side of Chang'an, and I want to attack Chang'an in two ways!" ”
Lu Yang and the other three then arched their hands and said in unison: "Please give the general's orders!" ”
"Good!" Mu Bai strode down and looked at the three of them: "Please General Sheng and Yi Ming send troops to Sanguan early tomorrow morning." And General Lu was with me. Sneak attack on the Yan army the night after tomorrow! "As for the sneak attack on the Yan army. Mu Bai didn't say, and the other three didn't ask, they were all smart people. I know that marching and fighting a war requires a good job of secrecy.
After Mu Bai finished his instructions, Sheng Youtang and Yi Qing went back to the camp to make preparations.
After the two left, Mu Bai instructed Lu Yang to prepare a large number of crossbows, horned bows, and arrows. Lu Yang was relieved, so he hurriedly went back to the camp to work.
Early the next morning, Yi Qing and Sheng Youtang, who were wearing silver masks, led the main force to Sanguan, while Mu Bai and Lu Yang still stayed in Shangtai City to prepare for the sneak attack.
When the Huan army in Hanzhong sent troops to disperse, the Chinese army of Wuguan Dao had already begun to attack the pass, but Xiao Moheng in order to maintain combat effectiveness, he would change the general to attack the pass every time, and Fan Chuixue, who was standing on the wall of the pass, had already seen all the generals of the main force of the Huan army. Every day, he will send the battle report to the palace in Chang'an City in time.
Beihe, who was lying in the palace of Jin'an, had read the military report for an afternoon, and he was very tired at the moment, since returning to Chang'an, he was busy day and night with military deployment, material preparation, hard work, and finally accumulated illness from hard work, so he has been sick for a long time. In view of this, Murong Yue ordered that no one should be allowed to send military reports to Beihe's residence, and Beihe did not refute his face in person, but Murong Yue didn't let him care about the war, so he didn't eat or drink medicine, and Murong Yue couldn't help it, and the gentleman was always helpless about the behavior of the scoundrel, so Murong Yue couldn't, so he had to accompany him to read the military newspaper every time.
After reading the day's information, the Northern Expedition drank a cup of tea and woke up. Murong Yue, who was sitting on the side, was pouring wine. Even if he can endure it again, he is only a twenty-two-year-old young man with strong blood, and the Huan soldiers drove Chang'an in two ways, creating unprecedented pressure on him. He even said that since the battle, he has never been so passive and powerless as this time. Is it because you are not fully prepared? No, is the enemy too strong? No, but he himself does not understand this enemy at all.
"Sir, Xiao Moheng didn't storm the pass, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with our army, I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in this gourd?" After taking a few sips of wine, Murong Yue couldn't help but ask softly.
Beihe, who has been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, opened his wrinkled eyes slightly, the former jade-faced military division seems to have disappeared in a war, and this disease will also release the old disease that has accumulated for decades, Beihe feels that he is really old, and he was actually beaten by a young prince who went out for the second time, and now this Xiao Moheng is determined to forge ahead, almost using the strength of the whole country to attack Chang'an, I have to say that he is very courageous, of course, Beihe also has to admit that he is really strategic.
Beihe, who was silent for a while, finally spoke leisurely, "Yes, the old man really admires Xiao Moheng's courage, he asked Mu Xiaohe to guard in Xiangyang and Nanyang, consolidate the rear, and prevent Luoyang's reinforcements, and on the other hand, the troops attacked Chang'an from Wuguandao and Hanzhong in two ways. At the same time, at the same time, the troops of Shouchun and Xuzhou were also allowed to contain Luoyang, not only with full preparation, but also with a perfect military layout! ”
"Yes, I was surprised that Deng Rui of Shouchun and Shi Bing of Xuzhou actually obeyed his dispatch, which is very rare, and this is also an advantage that we do not have!" Murong Yue added that in the face of Da Yan's southern criminals, Da Huan was able to work together, which made him very surprised and appreciated. If Dayan's court could be as united as Da Huan, they would not be forced back to Chang'an.
Of course, what Murong Yue didn't know was that before the Northern Expedition, Xiao Moheng had already put a lot of effort into getting rid of Yuan Kai and the Six Princes, and gradually infiltrated his forces into Xuzhou and Jingzhou, and even Yuzhou. If the rear is unstable, how can he mobilize his army and mobilize the masses for such a large-scale Northern Expedition?
Beihe rolled his eyes, chuckled, and said: "This Xiao Moheng does have strength in the army, but it is difficult to say in the court, the old man wonders why Su Jin's old fox hasn't made a move, can he just sit and watch Xiao Moheng establish meritorious deeds and rob his grandson of the crown prince?" ”
In his eyes, Yun Lingbo is a loyal and upright general, Pei Yan is a hypocrite who has gained a false reputation, Yuan Kai is self-serving, does not know how to restraint, Xie Hui is cautious and steady, Su Weixin is at most an elegant celebrity, and only Pei Yun and Su Jin really appreciate Beihe. Looking at the Three Kingdoms, Pei Yun can be said to be second to none, he can stabilize the country externally, can appease the government and the people internally, has the overall situation in mind, is magnanimous, and has a long-term vision, Pei Yun's talent and bearing are far from being matched by Cui Kui, the prime minister of Dayan. If you want to say that Beihe absolutely appreciates and even admires Pei Yun, then for Su Jin, Beihe has a feeling of sympathy. Su Jin is scheming, secretly hiding the front, ruthless, not only dare to think but also dare to do, this Beihe is confident and on par with him, the only difference is that Su Jin is good at Taoguang and obscure, and as a military advisor who gallops the field, Beihe is a little more bold and domineering.
Murong Yue smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Sir, I think the reason why Su Jin is not in a hurry is because he wants to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman and borrow our hands to get rid of his opponent!" ”
Beihe nodded, it was normal for Su Jin's old fox to plan like this, "Since this is the case, then Su Jin will definitely try to cut off Xiao Moheng's military rations!" ”
"Exactly, it's just that Xiao Moheng should be able to think of it, does he still have a trick?" Murong Yue raised his eyebrows and asked, since Xiao Moheng can make such a careful military deployment, then there must be precautions in terms of military rations.
"Your Highness is right, Xiao Moheng has captured Hanzhong, Hanzhong has enough food for the soldiers, and has become their supply place, if we want to force him to withdraw the army, we must delay the war, and moreover..."Beihe looked at Murong Yue and said firmly: "Hanzhong and Sichuan Shu are dependent on each other, and if Hanzhong is lost, Tang Shu must be uneasy, please ask His Highness to repair a book, and send it to Shuzhong, and know that it will be beneficial to say that the Emperor of Shu will send troops to Hanzhong or attack Yidu." ”
Murong Yue's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Sir, this plan is clever, once Xiao Moheng's Northern Expedition is successful, then Tang Shu will be his next target, so no matter how mediocre Emperor Shu is, this truth should always be known." ”
"Exactly, as long as the Shu army sends troops, Xiao Moheng must be restricted, as long as he retreats, we can defeat him in one fell swoop!" The North Crane is determined. (To be continued......)
