By the time Liu Fan, Zhang Ting and his entourage returned to the temporary camp where the Jincheng Army A Brigade was stationed, it was already three o'clock in the first month.

The eastern horizon has revealed a slight hint of bright white, the pale blue sky is inlaid with a few residual stars, the desolate earth mountain on the edge of the camp is still bathed in a piece of blue gray, the morning birds jump up and down on the wooden fence of the camp, with a crisp chirp to herald the arrival of a new day, the dawn of dawn dissolves the solemnity of the night, quietly waiting for the rising sunrise.

The slaughter of the human beings did not move the heavens and the earth, and the new day was so beautiful, and the breeze gently blew around with the fragrance of earth, blowing away the smell of blood on the warrior's armor, making people think that nothing had happened last night.

The baggage team had prepared a sumptuous meal for the soldiers who had come from the battle, and with enthusiastic smiling faces and hands, they brought bowls of steaming mutton soup and white flour cakes in front of the soldiers, so as to remove the fatigue and fatigue of the night.

Liu Fan, accompanied by Dong Zi, first went to Lang Zhong, who was busy, to deal with the knife wound on his right chest a little, although the knife wound was deep, fortunately, Liu Fan's rough skin and thick flesh did not hurt the vital point.

When the officers and men of the whole brigade had eaten early, Liu Fan assisted Sun Wannian in deploying the wounded for treatment, camp duty and other chores in the battalion, and when everything was clarified, it was already three poles in the day.

Liu Fan briefly reported to Sun Wannian the battle situation between himself and the ugly camp in the city before returning to the camp to rest.

This sleep was unusually peaceful, and Liu Fan's wish to return to his home in another world to reunite with his parents in his dream was not realized.

Since August 13, I have come to this world for five days, and in another world, five days is a week's working days, often in the blink of an eye, like floating clouds, most of the week's working days will basically not leave anything in my heart, but the five days in this world are extremely heavy for Liu Fan, and the things he experienced have left deep traces in his heart like a knife.

At this time, I felt that all the burdens were put down, and it was an excellent weather, and my body and mind were extremely relaxed, so I called Uncle Su and Dong Zi to go to the bank of the Heihe River together to see the beautiful Heihe Valley that I had heard of in another world.

But things are often difficult to fulfill, just out of the camp met two uninvited guests, only to see Uncle Chen and Li Min, an old man and a young man, slowly pacing towards the camp of the Jincheng Army A Brigade, followed by a few guards, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward to solemnly salute, Liu Fan introduced Uncle Su and Dong Zi to Uncle Chen.

Before he could ask the two of them anything important, Uncle Chen smiled and spoke first: "I was thinking about whether you kid woke up, isn't this just right, you don't even need to enter the camp gate, how about it, let's walk along the bank of this black river together?" ”

Liu Fan said: "Dare not obey your fate." With his left hand, he stretched out his hand and said to Uncle Chen: "Old man, please, Li Lvshuai, please!" ”

While speaking, Uncle Chen, Li Min and Liu Fan slowly walked towards the north bank of the Heihe River, followed by Uncle Su, Dong Zi and several guards from a distance.

Only then did Liu Fan feel that today's Li Min was slightly different from the previous days, and he was quiet from beginning to end, and he couldn't help but glance at it strangely, and found that Li Min was still full of thoughts with his head down.

thought: "Maybe yesterday's events haven't turned a corner in my heart, and it's no wonder that it took a day or two for a girl's family and a big man to turn the corner." ”

Uncle Chen turned his head to Liu Fan and said, "Alas, you look at the memory of my dead old man, I was going to thank you first, but I didn't know how to forget about it when I spoke." ”

said and bowed solemnly to Liu Fan: "Thank you Brigade Commander Liu for taking care of Li Min last night, allowing him to come back from the battlefield safely, and I can give my father an errand with peace of mind when I go back." ”

Liu Fan immediately replied: "Please don't say that again, the old man is also in the army, and he is an unknown brother who is worried about his life on the battlefield, can we stand by and watch?" Besides, you and Commander-in-Chief Guo specially arranged for the kid to take a battalion of soldiers to protect him, and that's it, because of my stupidity, I almost put Lvshuai Li in prison! ”

"Huh? How does this mean? Uncle Chen said.

Feelings: Li Min, this girl didn't say anything to Old Man Chen! Liu Fan was even more strange and asked, "Uncle Chen, didn't Lvshuai Li tell you about last night's situation?" ”

"Alas, this girl came back in the early morning like this, I saw that he didn't even scratch a little oily skin, so he didn't pay much attention, but until now he is still silent, I want to come and talk to you, and thank you by the way."

Liu Fan said in his heart: "It turns out that there is still this meaning."

I had to put last night's battlefield including 'attacking the direction of the Laojun Temple in the west; He led the attack on the northeast corner and climbed the steps of the city wall; After the two flanks of the Khitan army counter-encircled the siege troops in the north and south, he felt that there were loopholes in the strategy proposed to the headquarters and regretted it, and mistakenly sent the ugly battalion of the Jincheng Army A Brigade to protect Li Brigade Marshal to the front line of the attack, resulting in being surrounded by Nuergedan guards taking the opportunity, so that in the end, after the guards were less than ten people, they felt that they and Li Lvshuai could not be spared, thinking that all this was their own fault, and they were even more remorseful, so they lost consciousness in a hurry, and finally were rescued by the Shenwu Army's A Brigade Choly' and other situations were described in detail.

Seeing that Uncle Chen still looked pensive after listening to his story, he continued: "As for Li Lvshuai, he is in a bad mood...... Probably...... It may be the first time he has killed ......", before the word 'person' could be spoken, I saw Li Min raise his head and glared at Liu Fan, Liu Fan immediately opened his mouth and swallowed the remaining words into his stomach.

I only heard Li Min grab Uncle Chen's arm and bow his head and whispered, "Uncle Chen, I just thought that the fifty guards who were still with me yesterday would be less than ten people left in a few hours, and I felt a little uncomfortable. ”

When Uncle Chen heard this, he slowly touched Li Min's head and said: "Alas, I thought it was something, I also learned a little about the situation after you and Brigade Commander Xiao Liu entered the city last night, but it was not as detailed as Xiao Liu said just now, and it is understandable that you can't think about these things for a while, but as the commander of the first brigade, you should understand that there are immortal people in the war, I heard when I went out just now that the three armies that pursued Nu and Ge Dan came back, and the more than 50,000 troops of Nu and Ge Dan finally fled back with less than 5,000 people, There are more than 40,000 corpses left inside and outside the city of Ganzhou alone, not to mention the situation of the Khitans, this battle is the biggest victory of our army in the past ten years, but in this way, more than 20,000 people have been killed. ”

Li Min whispered again: "Actually, I have already figured out these truths, but I am uncomfortable for a while, Uncle Chen, you don't have to worry, I will be fine in two days." ”

After that, he lowered his head and whispered to Liu Fan: "Liu Fan, if you didn't come up with the formation of two circles with the guards last night, and led the guards to resist in the outer circle, I think I will definitely never see Uncle Chen again today, thank you." ”

After listening to Li Min's apology, Liu Fan felt a little embarrassed for a while, and said: "What's the thanks, it was originally the duty assigned to me by the headquarters, and it was just ignoring you, can the Khitans let me and others go." ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Chen also echoed: "Yes, Xiao Liu is right, the friendship forged on the battlefield could not be more sincere, besides, you are still so young, as long as you have the heart to have the opportunity to help each other in the future." ”

Liu Fan immediately raised his hand to Uncle Chen and said, "Uncle Chen, the kid has written it down." ”

Because he didn't want to dwell too much on this matter, he found a topic and said: "Uncle Chen, there are still some things I don't understand in this battle, I think you may know something, can you tell me?" ”

Uncle Chen said: "Let's say, boy, although nominally I am only Min Yatou's deputy, there are some things that Lao Guo will not hide from me." He looked at Liu Fan with a smile.

"In this case, when the command finally decided on this strategy, did the command take into account the possibility that the two wings of the Khitan army might carry out counter-encirclement in the north and south directions, and then formulated a targeted strategy based on this prediction?"

Uncle Chen thought for a moment before he said: "Because I didn't participate in the last military meeting, but I learned about the situation at the meeting from Lao Guo the next day, and I felt that the plan you proposed was very good, but you can also understand that such a big military plan has not been reported to the military department or even the camp for approval, once there is a problem, these old men and Sima of the Right Route Army will not want to live a good life in this life, and even the general manager will not be able to escape, even if you don't consider these, you have to think about the safety of nearly 100,000 troops!"

"Therefore, the decision was made on the 14th, and on the night of the 15th, Lao Guo, I, and Lao Qi, who came over temporarily, discussed for half a night, and listed the problems that may arise one by one before and after this plan."

"In the in-depth analysis, we realized that Nuerge Dan is a famous general in the world, and it is impossible for him to pull all the troops into Ganzhou City, and it is very likely that the flank troops will remain motionless and still be on guard in the north and south directions, so that once something happens in Ganzhou City, it will have greater initiative."

"In view of this possible situation, Lao Guo immediately ordered to cancel the order of the Jincheng Army and the Ganzhou Army to withdraw to the eastern front, requiring the two troops to maintain a safe and hidden distance and closely monitor the two wings of the Khitan Army, and ordered the two forces to immediately re-encircle the two wings of the Khitan Army with the four brigades of the Shenwei Army who rushed from Yongchang County if the two wings of the Khitan Army attacked the north and south city gates."

After listening to Uncle Chen's introduction, Liu Fan confirmed the information in his mind a little, and found that this was almost as he expected.

"It's just that the Shenwei Army in Yongchang County is going to do something, didn't it say that it would take 17 days to arrive in Ganzhou? At the last military meeting, Commander-in-Chief Guo introduced that the Shenwei Army in Yongchang County would not arrive until the 17th, why did he arrive early last night and participate in the battle against the Khitan flanks? ”

"Oh, this is a decision made after the meeting on the 14th, considering that it is still difficult for the existing troops to encircle and annihilate the more than 50,000 enemy troops of Nu and Gedan, on the evening of the 14th, the flying pigeon sent a letter to the Shenwei army in Yongchang County to arrive at the designated place in the north and south directions of Ganzhou City before the evening of the 16th."

"In addition, the A Brigade of the Jincheng Army and the B Brigade of the Shenwu Army outside the East City Gate are mainly prepared for the war in the north and south directions, and in the end, they also participated in the encirclement and annihilation of the Khitan Army on both wings outside the north and south gates in an emergency."
