After listening to the Koji Shuojun report relayed by Xin Er, Yang Chao said happily: "Ming Gong, the turning point is coming!" ”

"Shidao, do you want me to ask the Lord to help the Marquis of Koji?"

"Exactly!"

Xin Er asked Zhang Gui: "Changling, what do you think?" ”

The place where the three of them talked was at Xin Er's house.

This house of Xin Er was given to him by Linghu Feng after he laid down the royal capital and called the king, and it was originally the family residence of Linghu Yong's cronies, covering a wide area, and several before and after; Moreover, he was first ordered to be humiliated, and then he was ordered to be specially gracious, allowing the door to open the street, and it was also very convenient to enter and exit.

The lobby in the house is majestic, the small courtyard is like a pearl, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, strange pine and strange stones, curved water rockery, pavilions and pavilions, very elegant and noble charm.

Zhang Gui followed Xin Er to the capital alone, and there was no need to rent another house, so he was now living in Xin Er's home temporarily.

He twisted his beard and said: "Pu Mao has a good reputation in the Puqin Kingdom and is quite popular. I heard that there was a mastermind in his house, named Meng Lang, a native of Binhaishi, who was more talented than a man of management and pleasure. This person has a lot of temperament, and he has a bit of real talent. Pu Mao has his own strategy, and now he is leading the troops to the west, intending to take Ranxing, thinking that it should not be a temporary idea, and it is expected to plan and then move. In this way, Ran Xing may be in danger!

"Ran Xing is the same clan as Qin Qin, Qin has been trying to annex for a long time, and Ran Xing has been a small land, and those who have survived for a long time really depend on the power of my Dingxi and Wei Wei. The captives of Qin were afraid of our country and Wei, and invaded Ranxing several times, and when they heard that our country and Wei had moved troops, they withdrew their troops and finally had to return in vain.

"This time, Pu Mao will rejuvenate again, or have the ambition to win, and the king will not ignore it; When the army report of the Marquis of Koji was reported to the palace, the king would send troops to the east to help the Marquis of Koji, so as to increase the momentum of Longdong and eliminate the greed of Qin.

"Ming Gong, this is indeed a turning point!

"Ming Gong, Jincheng County people, the county neighbors Qin, Ran Xing, Ming Gong is familiar with the local situation, there are many cavalry under the account, so they will rush to help, such as aiding the Marquis of Koji, Ming Gong is the most appropriate! Turtle meaning and long history are the same, Ming Gong can go to the court and ask for help from the east to Tang Xing! ”

Xin Er lowered his head and pondered, thought for a long time, and said, "What the two of them said is very true. However, I can't rush this book. ”

Yang Chao clapped his hands and smiled: "Yes." You might as well wait for three or two days, wait for the news to come out from the palace, and wait for the king to decide on the reinforcements, and then it is not too late to write a book. ”

Zhang Gui understood what they meant and said, "Yes." Ming Gong only wrote a book, suggesting that the king choose to attack Rouran, if he was in a hurry to ask for help from the marquis of Koji, maybe it would arouse the king's suspicions. This book should be slowed down, not rushed. ”

Sun Ziyun: "Therefore, it can be shown that it cannot be used, and it is not used to show it." "The same is true with the use of soldiers, and the same is true with the hearts of the people in politics.

When he received the military report from Koji Shuo, because of the urgency of the military situation, Xin Er and Zhang Seng Cheng, the right chief of history, read it and immediately submitted it to the palace.

When Xin Er was discussing with Yang Chao and Zhang Gui, Ling Hufeng summoned Song Hong, Chen Sun, Lu Shuang, Sun Yan, Song Fang, Yan Kuan and other ministers to discuss the response in the palace.

Koji Shuang is tall, bearded, crowned with martial arts, with slightly black feathers inserted on both sides, because it is autumn, the color of the military dress is white, although he does not wear a sword, among the people standing in front of the bed, it is also majestic.

He held his head high and said, "Capture Qin Manhu, the thief's heart is not dead!" I want to plot again! The king, the minister dared to ask the king's decree to lead the troops to increase the troops of Tangxing County, this time, we must beat the capture of Qin, capture Pu Mao and dedicate it to the king, see if it dares to worry about Ran Xing anymore. ”

Ling Hufeng hummed vaguely and asked Song Hong and the others, "What do you mean?" ”

Song Hong and others are mostly civilian, with literary crowns, wearing wide official uniforms, and black shoes. Among the heavy ministers, especially Song Hongfeng, he is elegant and light. He put on a white pen, held a board wat, and said: "Fang has the news that Wei Bei is slightly soft, that is, there is a report that Qin will attack Ran Xing." In the courtier's opinion, Qin Ying also learned the news that the Wei soldiers were going north, so he took advantage of the gap to send troops. ”

Ling Hufeng rolled his eyelids and said weakly: "Do you need to talk about this?" Something inevitable. ”

"Yes."

"Zhixiang, what do you think?"

Song Fang stepped out in a row, walked in front of Chen Sun, Lu Shuang, and Sun Yan, the three kingdom lords, only half a step back than Song Hong, and said: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king!" ”

"Where does the joy come from?"

"The king, Qin is not self-sufficient, and wants to take the opportunity of Wei to go north to plot against Ran Xing, but he looks at it as a minister, this is really God wants to give Ran Xing to the king!"

Ling Hu Feng struggled to pull up and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Song Fang looked at Chen Sun, Lu Shuang and others, looked around, and saw that some of them were surprised, some were confused, and they were all seriously waiting for their explanations, so he turned his gaze back reservedly and said to Ling Hufeng: "Great King, Xianyang of Ran Xing is in the east of Qin, bordering Bashu in the south, and passing Hanzhong County to the east, that is, Jingzhou in Jiangzuo. This place is the thoroughfare of the east and west, and the key point of the north and south. Qin has been wanting to get it for a long time, why didn't my country want to cover it up earlier? Only Qin is jealous of me, I am jealous of Qin, so this place of cone has survived to this day!

"Now that the Wei soldiers are heading north, the Qin is restless, and God has given me the opportunity! The minister has a strategy, which can make the king prosperous! ”

Ling Hufeng perked up and asked, "What is the solution?" ”

"It's about military aircraft, and the minister dares to ask for independence."

"Eh, all the princes in the palace are important ministers of the court, and there is nothing to hide. You name it! ”

Song Fang already felt that he was afraid that he was about to fall out of favor, and his request was actually a test of Ling Hu Feng, and he wanted to regain the position of his favored minister, but Ling Hu Feng did not agree, he had no choice, so he had to continue to speak.

His tone became a little low, and he said: "The king, the minister thinks that he can send generals today and increase the troops of the Marquis ......of Koji." ”

Koji Shuang interrupted him and said, "Isn't that what I just said?" Suddenly realized, and said, "I know the Gao Ce of Song Beijia." Do you want to advise the king not to be busy with his hands after increasing his troops, and to sit and watch the tiger fight first, and wait until Qin and Ran Xing are both defeated, and we will be behind, right? ”

Song Fang said: "No. ”

Koji Shuang and Song Fang are both young Zhuang factions, the two were originally relatively close, since Linghu Feng was unconscious, Koji Shuang operated in the court, and allowed Xin Er and Koji Qiu to lead troops into the capital, and the relationship between the two has undergone subtle changes.

Song Fang's tone of reply was lukewarm.

Lu Shuang asked, "What do you mean by not driving?" ”

Song Fang said: "It was clearly stated in the military report of the Marquis of Koji that Pu Mao led tens of thousands of troops and horses. Ran Xing is only a land of two counties, how can he be the opponent of tens of thousands of Qin soldiers? 'Sit and watch the tiger fight', Lieutenant Koji, this is not two tigers fighting, it is a tiger and a dog fighting! It is too much to expect to sit and watch, wait for it to hurt, and then take the profit. ”

Koji Shuang's face flushed.

Linghu Feng half-propped up his body, he was a little tired, he lay back on the couch again, and said: "Zhixiang, why is Qingce, don't go around the pass, let's talk." ”

Song Fang replied, "Yes." After a pause, he began to talk about his strategy, and said, "The minister's strategy is also simple. The king can first increase the army of the marquis, and at the same time choose the general to lead the horse, cross the quicksand, and feint to attack the Shuo side. Shuo Fang is the barrier to the north of Qin, and when the minister Pu Mao heard the news, he was bound to give up Ran Xing and save Shuo Fang. At this time, the king immediately ordered the marquis of Koji to lead the headquarters and reinforcements of the soldiers and horses, and attacked Ranxing in a hurry. The ministers heard that Pu Mao had withdrawn his troops, and in addition to strict prevention, he would inevitably be lax, and the marquis of Koji attacked it at this time, which was tantamount to a divine soldier descending from the sky, and it was easy to take it! ”

Chen Sun and the others listened and whispered.

Linghu Feng opened his eyes wide, looked at the caisson, pondered for a while, patted the couch with great joy, and said, "The lonely white deer has been found!" ”

Song Hong and the others were at a loss to understand what they meant, and Chen Sun guessed one or two.

The white deer has become a symbol of heaven's will in Linghu Feng's heart, and the white deer as a physical object cannot be found, but Song Fang's strategy made his eyes shine, and it seemed to open the door for him to chase the deer in the Central Plains and realize the ambition. Therefore, he has this comparison.

Song Fang's strategy was indeed very good.

Shuofang County is on the south bank of the Yellow River, which is the northern frontier of Puqin, the desert area of northeast Longxi in the west, Rouran in the north, and the Xianbei Wei State in the east; To the south is a desert about four or five hundred miles long from north to south, and after this desert four or five hundred miles to the south, it is the heart of Pu Qin,—— and the cities under Pu Qin's rule are mainly in this hinterland.

As the Song side said, this county is the barrier to the north of Puqin, and its strategic position is very important. If this place is lost, the northern part of Puqin will lose a large area of strategic depth, and cities such as Xianyang in the hinterland will face the threat of invasion by the enemy at any time.

If Shuofang was attacked by Dingxi, Pu Mao would definitely give up the attack on Ranxing and go north to rescue.

This is a good plan, but in reality, it is also extremely bold.

Because, there is a serious problem.

That is: from Dingxi to send troops, rushing to Shuofang, there are two routes for the march, one is from the royal capital, to the northeast; One is from the West Sea and heading east, and these two marching routes, no matter which one, need to cross thousands of miles of quicksand.

It's mid-autumn, the temperature is quite good, not as cold as winter, but thousands of miles of desert can't be easily trekked through!

Sun Yan, the newly appointed farmer, has the ability to manage and manage money, and he is not very familiar with military affairs, but he also knows that Song Fang's policy is easy to talk about on paper, but it is difficult to put it into practice, so he said in surprise: "King, don't drive the strategy, words are easy to say and difficult to do." Thousands of miles of quicksand, how to wade over? ”

Song Fangcheng put the bamboo in his chest and said: "If you use Tang soldiers, you will have a hundred thousand burdens, and it will be difficult to wade over; If you use Hu to ride, although thousands of miles away, you can't pass! ”

The biggest difference between Tang soldiers and Hu cavalry in the march is that because of life customs, Hu cavalry can rely on cold food for a long time to satisfy hunger, people do not get off the horse, eat some buttermilk, Hu cakes every day, or simply drink only buttermilk, it is enough to survive, while Tang soldiers are not good. The elite Tang soldiers can barely be the same as Hu Qi, and most of the Tang soldiers can't stand it at all if they want to eat buttermilk every day and don't see hot food.

Again, the Hu people are used to eating and sleeping in the wilderness, and they are more adaptable to the climate of the desert area than the Tang soldiers.

Because of this, Song Fang said that Tang Bing can't do it, but Hu Qi can.

Linghu Fengcai accepted Lu Shuihu as a battalion soldier, conquered Beishan Xianbei Jianyi, and Hu Cai, now there is no shortage at all.

Yan Kuan, who had not spoken for a long time, frowned tightly, and objected: "Even if Hu Qi can ride through the sand sea and march thousands of miles, how much combat power is left in Shuofang County?" If Pu Mao's reinforcements are swift, our army will not be able to retreat, the river and the desert will be blocked, and there will be no way out, the king, this Hu cavalry will probably fall into the danger of annihilation of the whole army! ”

Song Fang disagreed, and said: "Don't you read military books in Zhizhong?" "Wu Zi" cloud: 'Where the battlefield is fought, the place where the corpse stands. 'Is there any immortal in war?' Besides, it was Hu Qi who was sent anyway, so what does it matter if you die more or less? Even if the whole army is annihilated, as long as Pu Mao can be transferred away, so that the Marquis of Koji can defeat Ran Xing, he will also be loyal to the king! ”

Linghu Feng's throat was fishy, he knew that there was blood and phlegm gushing up, and he refused to spit it out in front of so many important ministers, and forcibly swallowed it, and he didn't know if it was the violent emotional ups and downs of his sudden joy just now, which caused his chest to be stuffy and his eyes to be black.

He closed his eyes, slapped the bed, and impatiently stopped the objections that Pan Kuan and the others were about to talk about, and asked Song Fang: "Zhixiang, who do you say is better to send people to lead the cavalry to attack Shuofang?" ”

"General Wuwei and Shi Xiner, the left chief of the governor's mansion, have many Hu cavalry, and among the Hu cavalry of his department, in addition to Xianbei Yicong, there are also miscellaneous Hu of Zhu Yeze, who are familiar with the situation in the desert area bordering Dingxi and Shuofang, and they are no strangers on the road. The minister thought that he was the most suitable. ”
