130: On the eve of the decisive battle
"Chen Gao Huaide, see the official family."
"Quick, quick, no courtesy, no courtesy, this is not a great dynasty, is there such an exception between you and me."
Song Jiuzhong pulled up Gao Huaide, who was about to make a big salute, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a good reproach.
"Officials, etiquette cannot be abolished......"
"Hey, for me, it's the most cordial and pleasant to shout out to the fifth brother, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat first, and then drink."
"Xie Guan's family!"
Seeing that Gao Huaide was very respectful, Song Jiuzhong was also a little helpless on his face, so he simply didn't go back to the throne, and while pressing Gao Huaide, he sat down on the side by the way, "What's the situation over there?" ”
"The minister just arrived at the Great Earthquake Pass, and it seemed that the minister was ordered to inspect, not only opened the gate, but also prepared fine wine and dried meat, and the minister inspected the field for three days before he figured out the confidence of the Qin army to abandon the Great Earthquake Pass and invite me to a decisive battle."
Gao Huaide took out a simple map from his arms, spread it out on the coffee table, stretched out his finger and said: "After the Great Earthquake Pass, but ten miles, the terrain will be wider, from this to the south, is the Guanshan Plain, from this to the west, and then go five miles, but there are two forks, one is the Huangmen Gorge, the other is the Tanggou River, the Qin army has a big village in both places, and the steepness is not weaker than the Great Earthquake Pass. ”
Song Jiu looked at the map again, gestured the distance with his finger, and said, "In other words, even if the puppet Qin abandons the Great Earthquake Pass, it will not be easy for our army to advance westward?" ”
"Yes, the Qin army has set up a village in the west of Guanshan Plain, once it is established, the three villages will become horns, leaning against the mountains and facing the plains, and our army will be more difficult to attack."
"They're just for you to watch?"
"There are sentinels in the three villages to greet and express their welcome, but the ministers can see the fame in the periphery, so they did not enter the village, and the people have moved inward for nearly ten miles to the left of Guanshanyuan, so it can be seen that Xiqin really wants to fight to the death with our army."
Song Jiu nodded emphatically, picked up the teacup, thought about it and put it down: "How about the location?" ”
Gao Huaide said: "If the enemy does not destroy the earthquake pass, then the pass is a layer of back support for our army, if the earthquake pass is destroyed, our army will station two battalions of infantry there, and it can also ensure the safety of the back road, as for the east of the Guanshan Plain, there are mountains, forests, and water, and the terrain is a little better than the west." ”
"Distance."
"If you build a village along the foot of the mountain, the distance between the two villages is seven or eight miles away, enough for a large army to line up, and enough for a horse team to be vertical and horizontal, and there is strategic space."
"That's it!"
Song Jiu pressed his hand on the map, as if the silk map could bring him strength, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, Fang smiled: "Good plan, at first glance it looks like nonsense, after careful study, it turns out that only in the military strategy, there is a deep meaning, if I don't approve this war book, the morale will fall behind, or promise a decisive battle, the enemy army is in a row of three villages, and the people can be organized behind it to help logistics, and my army, everything has to rely on itself." ”
Gao Huaide also sighed and said: "The official family is able to decide thousands of miles, as expected, it is no different from the scout's exploration, the Qin army has been mobilized in the territory, saying that the reason why we let our Song army enter the decisive battle is because our Song army will collude with the Fan Department, and it will be a beacon fire throughout the territory, so it is better to build a great wall of flesh and blood with 30,000 tigers." ”
“……”
"Official?"
Song Jiu slapped his forehead again, relieved himself from his stunned state, and pulled out a trace of mockery from the corner of his mouth, "The commander of the enemy army is really a great talent who has the ability to fight thousands of miles, powerful, just one step back, he won the hearts of all the people, amazing." ”
"That'...... How should our army respond? ”
"Decisive battle."
Song Jiu stood up, waved his big hand vigorously, and said loudly: "In a decisive battle, any strategy, in the face of absolute strength, can only collapse, 60,000 against 30,000, directly crush the past." ”
Gao Huaide also stood up, knelt down on one knee, and solemnly saluted: "The minister is willing to be the vanguard." ”
……
Li Danqi suddenly became modest, from rebellious resistance to active cooperation, it took less than ten days, and the reason for the huge change in his attitude was a mere bowl of thin wine.
When he took the bowl of cloudy, sour village brew from the old farmer's hand, he finally realized the gap between himself and the premature pivot.
The military rations he began to eat at the age of fourteen, and after more than 30 years of war, he thought that when he was fighting, there were few people in the world who could make irresponsible remarks in front of him, so when the military discussion was at the beginning, although Mu Yun said loudly that the five must win, he was positive in his face, but he was actually quite disappreciative in his stomach.
The army and the people are as one person, trying to see who can be the enemy in the world.
Such words sound good, but in this world, where can you find the people who join forces with the army, and who does not flee when you hear the wind and surrender when you encounter the enemy.
But the reality is a bit of a slap in the face.
On weekdays, the political propaganda team that he secretly mocked as a monk chanting scriptures and the propaganda team brought by Mu Yun joined forces, not only set off an upsurge of supporting the army in Qinzhou City, but also formed a team of township soldiers under the backbone organization of Li Xing, and set up bases to guard the royal ......
It turns out that the second victory is not to say, the people can really be mobilized.
His mind changed dramatically, but his subordinates were very upset with him.
"General, the prime minister is too bullying, the army is in a decisive battle, but we are transferred to defend the northern front, if you want to say so-and-so, simply rebel against his water, let him go proudly...... Ahhh......h
Li Danqi withdrew the whip, put the regiment in his hand, and said coldly: "I ask you, in my army, in terms of horse team, who can win so?" ”
“…… The courage of the general is invincible, and even if he is sick, he can't do it. ”
"Even if you say a human word, but only half of it is right, on bravery, it is not as good as Jia Yuanjing, but the food on horseback, Lao Tzu will eat him for at least more than 20 years, this is the reason why the cardinal arranged for our department to defend the northern front, understand?"
"Yes...... But general, you are the chief general of Qinzhou. ”
"Let go of your fart, that's Your Majesty's face for Lao Tzu, don't give me a shame, cheer up Lao Tzu, don't think that the northwest front is too peaceful, what the prime minister is most worried about is this way, either there is no enemy, or it will be all horse teams, whether you can be annihilated, whether you can protect the people behind you, it depends on our army, don't embarrass Lao Tzu......"
"No."
……
Qin Yue, who was far away in Yizhou, did not know that Mu Yun had played a big chess game that violated military common sense in Qinzhou, and he was setting up a banquet in the West Building to entertain Han Xizai, the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Han Xizai is like a spring breeze.
On this trip, things went unexpectedly well.
Not only did the two countries sign a letter of common advance and retreat, but also received the assistance of Western Qin in armaments, although it was paid, but the price was very reasonable, only two percent higher than the cost, and it could be paid with gold and silver, which was too needed and important for the Southern Tang Dynasty.
In addition, it has also signed a lot of contracts and regulations for commercial and trade exchanges, Shu goods go east, or south goods go west, the same tax rate for the two countries, which is a big advantage for the Southern Tang Dynasty, because the number of Shu goods out of the east is much greater than that of the south goods into the west, and they can even get a piece of the pie silently under the framework of this national interest, which is simply ......
In short, make a lot of money.
Han Xizai looked at Qin Yue on the main seat, and then looked at Li Gu with a red face on Le Taotao, and sighed lightly in his heart, this person is more angry than others, why is Li Weizhen so good, first with Guo Rongjun and ministers, and now with this Qin Yue is also a teacher and a minister, on the other hand, look at himself...... Alas, being taboo for half a lifetime is only known to oneself.
"Master Han, please."
"Ah, oh, Your Majesty, please!"
