Chapter 4 (07) Shocking Changes (Medium)

Since Wang Yi agreed to bring words, it stands to reason that the conversation between the two should end here, and it is right to say goodbye to each other, but what makes Wen Mu strange is that Wang Yi pulled him to sit down after speaking, starting from the few interactions when the two worked together, they have been pulling the words to the embarrassing situation of the Middle Route Army besieging Blackwater City for a long time, and it is interspersed with the summary and evaluation of several battles since the Northern Expedition, as well as some anecdotes in the military. Wen Mu already had something on his mind, and he was worried about the soldiers who had just settled down and the few important military affairs that he would deal with immediately, but he couldn't figure out Wang Yi's intentions for a while, so he couldn't put a Yiguo Duke out of the tent with a black face, so he had to nod and smile and echo without saying a word, but his eyes couldn't stop slipping out of the tent.

“…… After the Right Route Army entered the grassland, it was this battle that was the most thrilling, and the four left divisions of the Sudden Exhaustion Mountains almost kicked through the old camp several times. You also know that the old Yang Du of the right army is called the temper of a donkey, and if others don't provoke him, he will kick the old ginger head of others a few times, and he cut down three battalion officers and brigade commanders who retreated without authorization in one breath, and personally took 500 guards to plug the gap, so that the old battalion was finally protected. The two sides faced each other for five days, and it was not until the beginning of July that the 7th Bohaiwei Battalion moved up from the flank and threatened the rear road of the Tuqi people, and the 4th Battalion on the left side of the mountain withdrew its troops. Speaking of the seven battalions that came up from this flank, it was also Yang Du's eyes that were poisonous......"

Wang Yi didn't even drink saliva, and even talked endlessly as if he were telling a story, analyzing at length the victories and defeats of the Right Route Army, how Lao Yang Du took repeated risks to turn the situation around, how the seven battalions that stood out alone broke out of the encirclement of the four divisions on the left side of the mountain, and how the two brigades of Bohaiwei risked their lives to respond...... The smile on Wen Mu's face was already stiff, and he still had to make a listening appearance, and his heart was already as anxious as a cat scratching. Listen to the drums, it is already three o'clock, the sky outside has gradually darkened, the stars on the deep sky dome like splashing ink flickered and disappeared, the junction of heaven and earth a soothing and slow mountain meadow was reflected by the last blue and white sky light is extremely clear, a drum sound was heard in the distance, torches and fires were lit everywhere in the camp, and in the blink of an eye, the swaying fire points were like beads strung by threads, gradually spreading along the slope.

“…… It's just that the old Yang Du was shrewd and stupid for a while, and he actually gave up the opportunity to worry about the enemy on his belly and back, and sent two brigades to meet the trapped Bohai soldiers. At that time, the seven battalions should not have been rescued, so they were allowed to contain and harass them in the back of the Turgitz people. Then he interspersed the two brigades from Mudenburg in the north, and led his army to fight from the front, and the three sides worked together, and the four divisions on the left side of the mountain were undefeated and defeated. ”

Wen Mu didn't speak with a blank face, patiently listened to Wang Yi's nonsense in the camp tent, and heard Wang Yi's words pointing directly at General Yang Lao for delaying the fighter, and finally couldn't help but be angry, and raised his head to refute Yang Du If Yang Du dared to use the seven battalions of Bohai soldiers as outcasts and bait, Bohaiwei would dare to let Yang Du fight with the four divisions of Tu Du alone! This Wang Yi didn't want to think about it, when is it now, can he still take such a risk? However, the battle was won by the right time, the right side of the Zhao army did not dare to let go of the breakthrough, leaving a chance for the left four divisions of the Rushing Cishan to breathe and rectify, and the time was no longer dominant; The army fought deep into the grassland, the terrain was unfamiliar, the grain roads were long, and the geographical disadvantages were obvious; The Great Zhao soldiers are half of the cavalry, far less fast than the enemy's movement, and the army is temporarily composed of personnel drawn from all over the country, and they are not familiar with each other, and the drawbacks of insufficient coordination and cooperation have been exposed from the beginning of the Northern Expedition, and the only advantage is that the Zhao army is well-equipped and well-trained, and there is a common hatred of the enemy who is fighting against the feud and the enemy, and the people and the upper talents are barely shared with the enemy. Now the three-way army is in a stalemate with the enemy, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake, and what I am most afraid of at this time is that there will be internal disputes among our own people! General Yang did not hesitate to give up the fighter plane and go to rescue the Bohai soldiers, this is really Jiang Gui's old and spicy nature, and he can see at a glance that the key to the war is that the right army cannot be missed! If the right army is defeated, the northern expedition will be over! And as long as the morale of the army is stabilized and the situation is stabilized, the opportunity to break the enemy and annihilate the enemy can always be found.

"General Wang......"

Wen Mu was about to open his mouth to rebuke Wang Yi, but the lieutenant had already walked outside the camp tent, and he didn't enter the tent, so he stood at the door and said: "Captain, Brigade Marshal Hu has just sent someone to pass the order: At two o'clock, the lieutenants and lieutenants of each battalion will go to the brigade commander's tent to discuss military affairs. ”

Wen Mu closed his eyes and let out a long breath, swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"The second watch has just passed."

"Have you brought back the horses, ordnance, and food?"

"It's been brought back, and the paperwork is being distributed to the teams."

"Hmm." Wen Mu nodded with a deep groan, the corner of his eyes turned on Wang Yi's face, and he turned his face and said, "I didn't expect that I would talk about it for so many times in a long conversation with General Wang, and it was already past the time for dinner." The general left me here for dinner. After that, he didn't wait for Wang Yi to speak, and directly instructed a personal soldier at the door, "According to my food, bring a portion to General Wang." The soldier agreed and went.

Wang Yi didn't notice Wen Mu's almost gaffe just now. He didn't even drink a sip of water and talked for most of the hour, his lips were already dry, and there was smoke in his throat, but Wen Mu just nodded in response, and he didn't have a chance to say anything that he had prepared for a long time, so he stood up and said with a smile: "You don't need to prepare dinner for me." Chen Zhuguo still has military affairs to deal with, and I also came here to catch up with Zhaoyuan. Now that people have seen the old and talked about it, I still have to go over and arrange the night guards, and I can't stay for a long time. He straightened his clothes and armor and stepped out of the camp, looked at the firelight tents arranged horizontally and vertically on the grassy slope, inhaled the cool night breeze, smelled the faint fragrance of bread and broth wafting from his nose, and suddenly felt that his stomach was empty, swallowed his saliva, and said to Wen Mu who was sent out: "Zhaoyuan, I heard that you are going to garrison in the upper reaches of the Alegu River, when will you leave?" ”

"We will leave the day after tomorrow at the latest." Wen Mu said. This was originally a military affair and could not be mentioned casually, but Wang Yi was a general of Mingwei from the fourth grade, and he was also the marching chief of the hussars, and he was much higher than him in terms of position and rank, so he gave a vague and vague answer. Besides, even if he didn't say it, Wang Yi could go to the brigade command post to ask.

"Do you want to stay in the camp?"

Think! The word was almost already swirling on the tip of Wen Mu's tongue, but he still resisted the urge and didn't let it blurt out. Fighting face-to-face with Tutuci was something he had dreamed of for five years, but when it came, he couldn't help but hold back his pounding heart. He lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then raised his head again and said, "If you can stay in the camp, of course, it is a good thing. But ......"

Wang Yi interrupted him and said, "If you want, you can do it!" You don't have to worry about the rest, I'll figure it out. I'll get back to you early tomorrow morning. Seeing that Wen Mu didn't object, he thought for a while and then asked, "How many soldiers do you bring?" ”

"Seven hundred and twenty-five men at six sentinels."

Wang Yi nodded. He brought 1,200 hussars to the camp of the left army, and the general of the Guardian Pillar State was more than enough, but he wanted to make meritorious contributions in the upcoming war, and he happened to hear that Wen Mu brought a battalion of elite soldiers of the mighty army, so he came over to set up a relationship and plan how to draw this battalion into his own hands. He originally thought that with his status as the prince of the country, and under the guise of the general of Zhuguo, if Wen Mu had the heart to rely on his big tree, he would naturally take the initiative to take refuge, who knew that in the end, he would have to open this mouth first. What's worse is that there are already several officers and non-commissioned officers standing next to him, and even if he has the intention to solicit, he can't say it so explicitly, so he can only pretend to be a favor to earn two thanks...... He glanced at Wen Mu with complicated eyes. In a hurry, he couldn't figure out whether Wen Mu was slow to see things or had other ideas, seeing that his relatives had already brought the horse money, he suddenly thought of something, and asked, "What about the horses?" ”

"I just replenished a hundred horses, barely half of the infantry and half of the cavalry. But I haven't checked the new horses, so I don't know if they're war horses. ”

The matter of horses is difficult for Wang Yi. He said to Wen Mu: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll go to the Military Horse Division to help you make up the war horse." He got on his horse, tugged at the reins, and said, "Go back and see what you lack in your camp, draw up a detailed list for me, and I'll do it for you." Look at the face of those thirty military sticks, I will also help you get this done! ”

"Then there is General Lao Wang." Wen Mu arched his hand and smiled.

He suddenly remembered what Sun Zhongshan had entrusted him with on the way, and how to find a way to keep Shang Cheng in the guards. He was in a dilemma all the way, he didn't know who to find to help with this matter, and after arriving at the camp, he heard that the commander of the Left Route Army had been replaced by Li Wei, so he felt that this matter was even more difficult to have an eyebrow Li Wei is the uncle and brother of Sima Li Shen of the Yanshan Right Army, Shang Cheng was sent to the West Malaysia Zhibian Army, and it is said that Li Wei secretly instructed him...... But now is the opportunity. Wang Yi, he can definitely help with this! Li Wei can't go against Yiguo Gong for the sake of Li Shen's affairs; Moreover, Li Shen did not suffer any "losses", neither removed nor investigated, he did such a big case, and in the end he just "recuperated" at home, which is already a big advantage.

He hurriedly shouted to Wang Yi: "General Wang, stay one step!" I have something to say! ”

Wang Yi took the reins on the horseback and asked, "What else is the matter with Brother Zhaoyuan?" ”

Wen Mu suddenly didn't know how to phrase it. He was silent for a long time before he said with difficulty: "...... There is a reluctant request, I want to ask the little grandfather for help. ”

"You say."

“…… Shang Cheng, I don't know if the little grandfather has heard of it? ”

Wang Yi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "It's a little impressive, but I can't remember where I heard this name." He patted the war horse's neck, comforted the restless beast, and looked at Wen Mu with his eyes and waited for him to continue.

Wen Mu pinched out the latter paragraph of Shang Cheng's matter, and then briefly talked to Wang Yi, and said at the end: "This is a powerful general, and it is too buried to escort grain and grass in the border army...... "Zhao Yuan is not talented, and is willing to give up the position of this mighty military captain

Wang Yi had already remembered that he had indeed heard this person say it several times, and he had heard that the most elite battalion of Yanshanwei was brought out by this person with one hand and one foot, and he had also moved to recruit this Shang Cheng. However, when he knew that the two brothers Li Wei and Li Shen had a conflict with this person, he lost this idea. He couldn't afford to have sex with the Lee brothers for the sake of a petty officer. But now that Wen Mu suddenly mentioned this matter again, he always had to give a passable answer. He thought for a moment and said, "I can talk to Admiral Li." However, Zhaoyuan should not expect too much, once the personnel transfer of the border army will go through the border military office, it will take twenty or thirty days just for an official exchange; Now that the war at the front is tense, the responsibility of the border military government to assist in the transportation of grain and grass is the top priority, and whether it can be dealt with in time is also a matter of two words...... I remember this matter, and I will talk to Li Dushuai and Chen Zhuguo when I turn around. ”

Wen Mu clenched his fists and bowed deeply: "Please be sure to take this matter to heart." Thank you in advance for the business captain of Zhaoyuan. ”

Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "Zhaoyuan, you don't need to say the word 'thanks' for your friendship with me. I'll go first, and when you and your people are appointed, we'll find time to talk. So saying, he swept the whip over the horse's thighs, and the yellow horse had spread its hooves and went out along the passage left between the tents.

He was still wondering on the way: he let Wen Mu stay in the camp, gave him horses and allowed him to supply armaments, but he didn't even thank himself; He just said a few good words for that Shang Cheng, and Wen Mu bowed down to thank Yi Yiyi, what kind of character is this Shang Cheng?
