Chapter Eighty-Eight: If You Want to Play, Play Big (I)
"Governor Dadu, shouldn't General Yuwen be stationed in Yuanzhou? How did you run to Shanzhou? ”
The imperial court has obviously set a strategy, Huang Zhen guards Langzhou, Yuwen Zhen guards Langzhou, but now the plan has changed, although Zhao Zhi gave Ma Wu a festival, allowing him to adapt to the situation and make a decision in battle, but without authorization to change the strategic layout of the imperial court negotiated in advance, once there is a defeat, all the responsibility will be borne by Ma Wu alone.
Ma Wu said: "I asked him to go, Tubo sent 300,000 troops this time, there are many people, Langzhou is too far away from Langzhou, once the battle situation on Huang Xu's side is dangerous, Yu Wenzhen may not be able to rescue." ”
Shan Qiu said worriedly: "In this way, wouldn't the south of Langzhou be empty, if Tubo divides troops to attack Taozhou, there may be danger in the Guannai." ”
Ma Wu waved his hand: "As long as Langzhou is not lost, my 100,000 army is on the side, and I don't dare to act rashly." ”
Shan Qiu will not say much, before Langzhou is defeated, the possibility of Tufan dividing his troops to the south is indeed not large.
"You have had a good time all the way, don't mention other things for the time being, have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow I will gather the generals and discuss again."
"I am willing to serve the Metropolitan Governor."
Li Xun and the others got up, bowed their hands, and then said goodbye and left, took a bath, and went to bed early.
Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Ma Wu sent people to Li Xun's military camp and asked them to go to the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion to discuss important military affairs.
When they came to the Governor's Mansion, more than a dozen generals gathered, most of whom were local officials in Liangzhou.
The entire land of the eleven states of Longyou Road, in fact, there are only four states that are really controlled by the Great Jin in the hands, namely Langzhou, Liangzhou, Liangzhou and Shanzhou, before Ma Wu did not lead the army, because Tubo and the Great Jin have been resting for many years, so the four states of Longyou, in fact, did not have many troops, only less than 40,000 people, Langzhou 18,000 soldiers, Liangzhou 10,000 soldiers, Shanzhou 5,000, Shanzhou 5,000.
Ma Wu deducted 10,000 soldiers from Yu Wenzhen to stay in Liangzhou, and now Li Xun is also leading 10,000 soldiers to arrive, there are 30,000 soldiers in the entire Liangzhou, and the strength is okay.
Ma Wu summoned all the generals and directly said his thoughts, that is, the last three days have been cloudy, and seeing that a heavy rain is coming, Ma Wu is ready to personally lead an army of 20,000 to attack the 100,000 Tubo army outside Shanzhou at night, or to relieve the siege of Shanzhou.
For Ma Wu's idea, most of the generals agreed, after all, the time and place were on their side, and they were all raiding at night, and the possibility of success was extremely high, even if they couldn't destroy the 100,000 Tubo army, at least they could be killed and relieved of Yuwenzhen's urgent need.
While everyone was deliberating, a soldier rushed into the Governor's Mansion in a panic.
"Governor, my subordinates have important things to report."
Ma Wu frowned, and said unhappily: "If you have something, just say it, what kind of system is it to be so flustered?" ”
The soldier hurriedly said, "Governor Dadu, His Royal Highness King An has come down." ”
Ma Wu was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Who is here?" ”
"General Zhenguo, envoy of Anbei Jiedu, Li Zhong, King of An, is here."
This time, the soldiers said all of Li Zhong's official names.
Yes! The handsome is here?
Ma Wu finally reacted and asked urgently, "Where is the big handsome now?" ”
"It's thirty miles outside of Liangzhou City."
Ma Wu immediately walked towards the outside of the hall, and as he walked, he shouted loudly, "You guys come with me to welcome the arrival of the great marshal." ”
Thirty miles away from Liangzhou City, countless military flags fluttered, and the black pressure was pressing, and there was no end in sight, all of them were all cavalry, moving forward quickly.
Five miles away from Liangzhou City, this cavalry army no longer moved forward, but stopped and began to set up camp.
Dozens of cavalry rushed out of Liangzhou City and galloped towards the cavalry camp five miles away.
"Come, stop."
Nearly a mile away, hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the camp, surrounded Ma Wu and others, everyone opened their bows and arrows, and waited for the battle, led by an officer, who yelled loudly, preventing Ma Wu and others from continuing to advance.
Ma Wu stopped his horse, arched his hand on the horse and said: "Ma Wu, the governor of Xialiangzhou, has come to meet the marshal." ”
The officer's serious and resolute face looked at Ma Wu for a while, then nodded, and said coldly: "Get off the horse, wait where you are, and I'll go to pass the message." ”
After the officer finished speaking, he turned and rode away.
Someone was dissatisfied: "It's just a general, this is too rampant!" ”
Ma Wu turned his head and glanced at them sternly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be rude, get off the horse and wait." ”
When everyone saw Ma Wu speak, they could only dismount helplessly and stand there quietly waiting.
After a few moments, the officer returned, waved his hand, and ordered in a deep voice, "Get out of the way and let them into the camp." ”
The people remounted their horses and marched towards the large camp not far ahead.
Shan Qiu said with envy: "It is really an elite teacher." ”
Mao Anfu nodded: "I have heard that Li Zhong, the king of An, is extremely strict in governing the army, and now it seems that the rumors are indeed true." ”
Li Xun looked at the cavalry, although there were only a few hundred people, they were in a neat line, all of them looked serious, strong and powerful, and they were advancing in an orderly manner, and they were indeed elite.
Li Zhong's Chinese army tent had just been built, and Ma Wu entered the tent, only to see a familiar back, with his hands behind his back, quietly staring at a huge map on the wall in front of him.
Ma Wu had excitement on his face, and immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and shouted: "The last general, Ma Wu, meet the marshal." ”
"Meet the marshal."
Li Xun and others also knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute.
The man turned around, with a resolute and serious face, a long beard under his forehead, a thin face, and an elegant appearance, looking more like a man of letters.
Li Xun also saw Li Zhong's face clearly, and was slightly surprised in his heart, this is Li Zhong, the famous king of An? It looks like a weak scholar.
Li Zhong stepped forward to help Ma Wu up, and said with a light smile: "Ma Wu, you are the governor of Liangzhou and a general, how can you easily kneel like me?" Hurry up, please. ”
Ma Wu said excitedly: "In front of the marshal, how dare a certain general be complacent." ”
Li Zhong smiled and asked all the other generals to get up.
Ma Wu asked: "The marshal came this time, but for Tibet?" ”
Li Xun nodded, and said lightly: "It's for Tubo, otherwise how would I come in person?" ”
Ma Wurao turned his head and puzzled: "Although Tubo is powerful, Langzhou and Shanzhou are both fortified cities and thick walls, and there are two brave generals Huang Qian and Yu Wenzhen to guard them, and I still have 30,000 troops in Liangzhou, the overall situation seems to be unfavorable, but in fact there is no big problem." ”
Li Zhong smiled coldly, stretched out his hand and shook it tightly: "What is it that just Tubo?" I want... It's the whole Longright. ”
