Chapter 314: Predicting the Enemy's Situation
Xie An put down the brush in his hand, savored the poems he had made, and then smiled, turned his head and asked Chenxi: "Little chess friend, how about taking a look at this new work of the old man?" ”
Chenxi took a few steps forward, holding the manuscript of the poem and reading softly: "Yixi Xianzi, there is a spring outing. Chetz is stubborn and proud. Forests and mountains, the vast plains. The sky is full of fog, and the condensation spring is scattered. ”
As the poem turned, a flash of brilliance flashed in Chenxi's eyes, and he said happily: "Gong Xie, your masterpiece has far-reaching artistic conception and elegant feelings, and it can be called the culmination of a hermit's style." ”
Xie An laughed happily when she heard her praise like this, couldn't help stroking her long hair, and nodded again and again: "Although the mountains and rivers are precious, you also have to have bosom friends to appreciate it." ”
Zhao Liang and Liu Yu looked at each other from the side. Unexpectedly, a large group of killer assassins had just come outside, and the corpses were all over the place, and the blood was flowing like a river, Xie An, the old man, was still in the mood to write poems here, which shows that his determination is extraordinary.
Chenxi praised a few words from the bottom of her heart, and then changed her words and asked curiously, "Gong Xie, what is the origin of those people outside?" ”
Xie An didn't seem to care, and said lightly: "Did you say outside?" I had heard them shouting at Xie Ji before, and the accent seemed to be from Jiankang's side. ”
"Sima Daozi's people?" Chenxi frowned lightly: "He is so bold, he dares to offend your old tiger might?!" ”
Xie An smiled dumbly: "What kind of tiger power does the old man have?" It's just a mountain villager. Little chess friend, don't you introduce me to new friends? ”
Hearing Xie An's inquiry, Zhao Liang and Liu Yu hurriedly took a few steps forward, bowed their hands, and revealed their identities at the same time.
Hearing that these two young men were Beifu soldiers, Xie An couldn't help but be a little surprised, looked at them carefully, and suddenly smiled: "Oh, the old man recognized it." Little Liu Yu! Aren't you Sun Wuzhong's subordinate? During the Battle of Weishui, he was ordered to go deep into the enemy camp and send a letter to Zhu Xu, so he made a great contribution. ”
Liu Yu was quite moved when he heard this, he didn't expect that his small role could still be remembered by Xie An, and hurriedly replied: "My lord, you have won the award, these are all things that should be done in a humble position." ”
"Okay, good, you're very good," Xie An turned his head and looked at Zhao Liang again: "This little brother Zhao looks a little embarrassed." However, the old man is good at the art of getting along, just look at your bones and extraordinary instruments, you know that you are by no means an ordinary person, quite a bit of Taoist style. Well, not bad either! ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Liang and Chenxi couldn't help but admire in their hearts, and secretly praised this old man's eyes like torches, and he was able to break the relationship between Zhao Liang and Daomen in one sentence.
Xie An beckoned the three of them to sit down at the table and poured them each a cup of tea. Zhao Liang first humbled Xie An's evaluation just now, and then said: "Master Xie, Liu Yu and I are actually here for a very important matter, and I want to tell you. As he spoke, he told Xie An about the situation of Liu Gaozhi and He Qian's imminent merger.
Xie listened quietly until Zhao Liang's words were all finished, and the expression on his face still did not fluctuate in the slightest. He pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Hehe, no wonder King Huiji wants to send his men to visit, it turns out that it should be on this festival." ”
Chenxi asked softly, "Why did Gong Xie say this?" ”
"It's not difficult to explain," Xie An stroked his long beard and replied: "Xuan'er has been in trouble for a long time, and he is no longer able to support the situation in Beifu, and Liu Gaozhi and He Qian have been instigated by outsiders, and they see that the Beifu soldiers are about to fall into a situation of cannibalism. In the end, no matter who wins or loses, the imperial court will naturally come forward to clean up and appoint a satisfactory candidate to take over the military power. At that time, if I, a useless old fellow, were still alive, wouldn't King Huiji have a great headache? ”
Xie An's words immediately woke up the three people in the room. Zhao Liang, Liu Yu and Chenxi reacted, and couldn't help but re-evaluate Sima Daozi's scheming and scheming in their hearts.
This young royal family's methods are really extraordinary. He deliberately chose to send someone to assassinate Xie An at the critical juncture when the civil war was about to break out in the Beifu army, which can be said to make the whole strategy interlocking and ruthless and decisive.
If it weren't for Xie Ji, an invisible master, to protect Xie An today, most of the assassins would have been able to succeed easily. In that way, without the support of Xie An and Xie Xuan's uncle and nephew, the Beifu soldiers, who were greatly injured by infighting, would completely become fish on the chopping board, and let the Sima royal family rub and pinch them flat.
"Heaven forbid." Chenxi sighed lightly and said to Xie An: "Gong Xie, it seems that there is a providence in the underworld, and Sima Daozi's treacherous plan will not succeed in the end. You see, now not only are the killers and assassins all ambushed, but Zhao Liang and Liu Yu have also arrived here in time, which is enough to prove that Beifu's fate should not be extinguished. ”
Liu Yu nodded again and again when he heard this, but Xie An disagreed, and said with a chic smile: "Shouldn't life be extinguished?" The old man doesn't think so. A generation has its own mission of a generation, and in my opinion, defeating the invasion of the Hu army and keeping half of the Great Jin Dynasty, the mission of the Beifu soldiers and my Xie family has been completed. Next, I'm afraid it's time for the curtain to end. ”
"Why do you say that?" Liu Yu couldn't help but say: "The Beifu soldiers were created by you and the commander, and now they have become the mainstay of my Great Jin Dynasty and the country's success, how can you allow those young people to destroy them at will?" If nothing else, just those soldiers who have shed their blood for the country and the people, we must not abandon it lightly! ”
Xie An's eyes lit up, stared at Liu Yu and said, "Oh? Xiao Liu Yu, do you really think so? ”
Liu Yu stood up from his seat and arched his hand: "My lord, I, Liu Yu, am a disciple of a poor family, and I don't have any great ability, let alone ambition. But Beifu is the place where I live and live, and it will also be the place where I have made great achievements, if anyone dares to destroy it, I will give up this seven-foot body and fight him to the death! ”
"Well, yes, you're good. Sit down, sit down and say," Xie An stroked his long hair and said with a faint smile: "Just now, the old man is just clarifying his opinion, but the so-called mission is not a mission, that is only my family's words." Now, Beifu is no longer the Beifu of the Xie family, but belongs to the Beifu soldiers like you. In the future, where the Beifu soldiers will go after all, it is not to listen to the old man's wishes, let alone Sima Daozi to decide, but to let you hot-blooded men decide. Liu Yu, Zhao Liang, and thousands of Beifu soldiers, you are the real masters of Beifu. ”
The heart-to-heart words that came out of the mouth of the white-haired old man had already brought tears to Liu Yu's eyes. He fell to his knees and choked up: "My lord, save Beifu, Liu Yu, please be an old man!" ”
Zhao Liang knew that Xie An had always been indifferent to fame and fortune, but he still didn't expect that he could have such an open-minded opinion, coupled with Liu Yu's sincere feelings for the Beifu Army, he couldn't help but be deeply touched at this time, and then knelt down on one knee together, and arched his hand: "Please Gong Xie help, the right is for the soldiers of Beifu not to be unjustly killed in vain, and for the people to avoid being ruined!" ”
Chenxi saw that the immortal chief knelt down, of course he didn't dare to sit anymore, and he also bowed down: "Please also ask Gong Xie to turn the tide." ”
"Oh, what are you doing here? Hurry up, hurry up! Xie An hurriedly helped the three of them up one by one, and said with a smile: "The old man is the most disdainful of people in his life." Especially Xiao Liu Yu, a big man, what kind of nose to cry about! ”
He stood up and paced back and forth in the grass hut twice, as if talking to himself, and as if asking the three young men: "Jingkou Guangling, the distance is only more than 100 miles, and the two armies meet on a narrow road, how long will it take for them to fight?" ”
Regarding this question, I am afraid that only Liu Yu can answer it, so I only heard him say in a deep voice: "Counting the time for transfer and deployment, there will be two more days at most, and the two sides will be able to hand it over." Judging by the captain and the humble position, He Qian obtained the information of Sima Daozi, and it was likely that he would use the waterway to transport troops and ambush Liu Gaozhi on the road in advance, and fight an ambush battle in which less wins more. ”
Recommended, it's really good, it's worth installing one for book friends, and Android and Apple phones support it!
Xie An nodded and asked calmly, "If it were you, where would you set up an ambush?" ”
"About three places," Liu Yu replied without hesitation, "the Maoling Valley, the Anping Ferry, and the hilly areas north of Changyang Village. ”
"Three predictions are too many. For a general, he should go to the chaff and keep the chaff, and he must hit with one blow. Think again, pick one. Xie An encouraged.
This time, Liu Yu didn't dare to speak immediately, and after thinking seriously for a moment, he replied: "If I were He Qian, I would set up an ambush circle in the Maoling Valley." ”
Xie An continued to inspire Liu Yu just like when he was comparing his nephew Xie Xuan: "Tell me your reasons." ”
"Anping Ferry is already very close to Guangling Water Village. Liu Gaozhi led the troops of the Jingkou battalion to attack He Qian, and when he arrived here, he must be very careful, and he made every effort to prevent the water army from suddenly intercepting, so it was not suitable for an ambush. Liu Yu said: "The hills on the other side of Changyang Village, although the terrain is the best, but because of the wide area, if you want to set up an ambush, you need a large number of soldiers and horses." In terms of He Qian's troops, I am afraid that it will not be able to fight there. ”
He paused, and said confidently: "In this way, Maoling Valley is the only option!" That place was close to the camp at the entrance of the city, which made it easier for Liu Gaozhi to take it lightly, and at the same time, it was surrounded by high trees and dense forests, and the valley was only one road to pass, which was definitely an unexpected battlefield. ”
Chenxi was curious on the side: "Before Liu Gaozhi's march, wouldn't he send scouts to explore the way?" ”
Liu Yu smiled: "First, it is estimated that Liu Gaozhi still thinks that with Sima Daozi's cooperation, He Qian is still ignorant of his large-scale attack, so he would not have thought that the navy would take the first step, but instead came to fight his ambush." Second, Liu Jiaozhi has experienced a hundred battles, and of course he understands the principle of scouts first. However, the pathfinder scouts he sent were none other than Brother Zhao and Junior Brother I. ”
Chenxi was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, this sounds too ironic." ”
Zhao Liang also smiled: "If it weren't for our own people, in fact, we would have figured out He Qian's strategy now, as long as we report to the commander of the army in time, we can plan and catch the other party off guard." However, it is a pity that Liu Gaozhi provoked a war for his own selfish interests, and did not hesitate to plunge the entire Beifu army into internal fighting, so our vanguard scouts not only could not play a role for him, but also had to fight his small calculations. ”
Xie An bowed slightly, and asked again: "Since you have judged the location of the big battle, do you have a way to stop the war in time?" ”
Under his continuous inspiration, Liu Yu's brain was running rapidly, and after pondering for a while, he tried to say: "If you really want to stop it, it's not difficult." That is to choose the right time and expose the plans of the trolls. In this way, the men and horses on both sides will turn from ambush to encounter. He Qian's troops were at a disadvantage, so he did not dare to act rashly; Liu Gaozhi is suspicious and needs to reconsider Sima Daozi's role behind the scenes. In that case, the two sides will certainly not engage in a fierce confrontation, but instead face off and wait and see! ”
"If it really enters the confrontation stage, then Gong Xie will have a chance to speak." dawn
said happily: "As long as the two sides do not draw their swords and form hatred, with the prestige of the old man, it is enough to calm the situation." ”
Zhao Liang and Liu Yu's eyes lit up, and they looked at Xie An at the same time, and Xie An smiled in a relaxed tone: "Since that's the case, why don't you hurry up?" ”
