Without hesitation, Wang Yi made a suggestion: "The enemy in the west! ”

To his surprise, his suggestion was actually approved by Wen Mu. Zhan Shi's words in front of Yanshan Weifu still have a bit of weight, at least Guo Biao seems to be seriously thinking about Wang Yi's proposal.

Guo Biao quickly made a judgment. He shook his head and said to Wang Yi, "It's useless. The enemy in the west has less than 2,000 men and horses, and although they are the weakest and the most easy to fight, they are also the least threat to us, and defeating them will not help us much. We must first be careful against the enemy in the west, then in the north, and finally in the west. ”

"Shall we fight the north or the west?" Wang Yi asked a little unconvinced. He is the prince of the country, his status is extremely noble, Guo Biao is just a general Huaiyuan who has not been knighted, although he also wants to talk to Guo Biao like an ordinary person, but inadvertently, he will inevitably reveal a little domineering. Especially today, Guo Biao has vetoed his views and proposals twice, and he is inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, so although Guo Biao's ranks and positions in the army are much higher than his, he still doesn't seem very respectful when he speaks.

On the question of whether to go north or west, Guo Biao also hesitated and hesitated. Compared with the five divisions of Aleghu in the west, the enemy in the north was nearly sixty percent less, only six or seven thousand people, and the advantage of the Zhao army in the fight was certainly much greater. But the enemy in the north is more difficult to fight than in the west. However, there are too many enemies in the west, and even if the Zhao army is all assembled and dispatched, it is very clear that there is a two-point chance of winning. After all, we can't rely on blood and blood to fight, but we must rely on real people to pile up and build ......

Is it harder to fight with fewer people than with too many people? Wang Yi didn't understand why Guo Biao said this. But he knowingly didn't raise the question.

Wen Mu next to him didn't understand it either, and of course he couldn't put forward any reasonable suggestions. It stands to reason that as the former Zhan Shi of Yanshan Wei Mansion, he should have had a relatively broad vision and thinking, and when Zhang Shao stayed in Yanzhou to coordinate the military affairs of Sanzhou, he was Shang Cheng's important assistant in military affairs, and he should have unique and appropriate suggestions on many issues. This inevitably aroused the jealousy and jealousy of many people, and he himself carried a heavy ideological burden for this. Although Shang Cheng talked to him a few times, and the official document from the Admiral's Office requesting him to be a general was also delivered to the Ministry of Officials, he was always a little unable to let go of his hands and feet when handling official duties, and he did not do things as vigorously and resolutely as before. He admonished himself anytime and anywhere: A thousand words are better than a silence!

Now, he stood silently in front of Yutu without saying a word, completely ignoring Shang Cheng's disappointed eyes.

Whether it was to go west or north, even Guo Biao couldn't make up his mind, he could only wait for Shang Cheng to make a judgment. He felt that one by one, it should be said that he believed that Shang Cheng, as the coach, should have a more comprehensive consideration.

"The enemy in the north is too deep to fight." Shang Cheng withdrew his gaze and stared at Yutu and said. This wooden map, which was re-edited again at the beginning of the year, is still very crude, such as the small lake where the left camp fought with the outpost of the five divisions of Alegu, which is completely unmarked on the map. However, compared with the maps produced in previous years or even last year, this is already a very remarkable progress, at least in terms of the actual distance and scale that Shang Cheng is most concerned about, there will no longer be a ridiculous situation of "thirty miles is a handful of lengths, and three hundred miles is also a handful of lengths". You must know that when he looked at the marching map, it was like reading a book from heaven, and even if he made himself dizzy, he still couldn't form an intuitive understanding of the geographical situation and the distance. Therefore, not long after he became the acting admiral, he found the officials and craftsmen in charge of this aspect of the Wei Mansion, and taught them all the very superficial map knowledge he knew, so that he had the map in front of him that Guo Biao had praised for I don't know how many times.

As soon as he said this, Wen Mu immediately understood the truth. The enemy's base in the north is in Heishui City, which is a full 400 miles away from Luhe, and they can completely avoid fighting the Zhao army, but use the vast area from Luhe to Heishui City to maneuver with the Zhao army, while consuming the strength of the Zhao army, on the other hand, lengthening the supply line of the Zhao army, and at the same time buying more time for the enemy in the west and east to assemble and deploy. Therefore, to deal with the enemy in the north, it must be a deadly thunderous blow, otherwise it is better not to fight.

Guo Biao's brows were furrowed so much that he almost gathered in the center of his eyebrows, rubbing his cheeks vigorously and said, "The enemy in the west is not easy to deal with." Not to mention that there are almost twice as many people and horses as us, and they are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and we can easily fall into passivity. Moreover, when we fight the west, we can't relax our vigilance against the north and east, so that Sun Zhongshan's cavalry brigade and the cavalry of the right battalion will not be able to move, and only rely on the four thousand cavalry of the middle army and the left battalion......" He didn't finish his words, but just raised his eyes and stared at Shang Cheng deeply, his eyes full of worry and worry.

What he said was exactly what Shang Cheng was worried about. However, if you don't defeat the prestige of the five divisions of Alegu in the west and defeat the five divisions of Alegu, it is completely nonsense for the Zhao army to retreat to Yanshan in peace. The only thing that made him a little relieved was that he judged that it was impossible for the Alegu Fifth Division to be dispatched, and at least some of the men and horses would be left to watch the house, so that the enemy's advantage in the comparison of forces between the two sides would not be so obvious.

Guo Biao agreed with him. Li Shen's immobility in Duanzhou was an invisible deterrent to the Tuqi people, and he did not dare to devote all his strength to the Zhao army's troop attempts and the route of the march before he thoroughly understood the Zhao army's troop intentions and the route of the army. But he immediately said: "But our cavalry brigade can't be fully dispatched, and the men and horses that can be mobilized at the moment are only more than 9,000, and some people must be set aside to guard the retreat of Luhe, and the mobile force will not exceed 7,000." Seven thousand against ten thousand, this battle is also very difficult to fight......"

Shang Cheng nodded. Guo Biao's concerns are very reasonable, the Zhao army's 3,000 cavalry and 4,000 foot soldiers are against 10,000 cavalry troops, and the battlefield is still in the vast grassland, and it is indeed extremely difficult to win. But this battle must be fought, otherwise almost 30,000 Zhao people with soldiers and people will all be confessed on the grassland. Although the possible defeat was not caused by his mistakes, he still could not carry such a heavy burden. Just by imagining the bleak and tragic scene of the Great Rout, his legs seemed to tremble slightly from the overwhelm......

He exhaled softly, and at the same time waved his hand in front of him, driving away the picture in his mind while clearing his thoughts, and then said to Guo Biao: "I will take seven thousand people to meet the five divisions of Alegu, and this side of Luhe will be handed over to you." Sun Huan, Duan Xiu, and Wen Mu all followed me, and Sun Zhongshan stayed in the Luhe camp to listen to your dispatch. In addition, Zheng Qi also stayed behind and was responsible for commanding the front army. Who will be in command of the right battalion, you decide. As for the arrangement and arrangement after the victory or defeat of this battle, he did not mention it. Guo Biao didn't ask.

Guo Biao originally wanted to propose that he lead his troops to fight and Shang Cheng stay in Luhe; I thought about it and gave up again. He may be stronger than Shang Cheng in many other aspects, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, he has to admit that Shang Cheng is more than a cut above him. Not to mention it from afar, even in the judgment of whether to go west or north, Shang Chengcheng was more decisive and determined than him. Now, he finally understands why he went to visit the old handsome Xiao Jian before leaving Beijing, and why Xiao Jian said something like that to himself:

"When it comes to military affairs, let the blind man make his own decisions."

As far as the current critical situation is concerned, the personnel arrangements are certain, and other issues are all trivial matters, such as the heavy allocation and distribution of ordnance, grain, grass, medicines, and so on, that is, they can be discussed in a word, and there is no need to discuss with others at all. Defeating the Alepgu Five to the west is the top priority at the moment; If you can't defeat the five departments of Alegu, all the others are nonsense, so of course all kinds of materials are prepared for Shang Cheng from the widest position. At this time, Wang Yi basically couldn't participate in the speech, so he simply sat next to the handsome case and picked up a pen to make a record.

Here the discussion and arrangement stopped, and Wang Yi was also putting down his pen over there, Shang Cheng took his hand and roughly browsed it to see if there were no omissions and mistakes, so he handed it to Wen Mu and said, "Use the seal!" Immediately explain to each other, and ...... immediately according to what is written above."

Before the word "execution" could be spoken, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Bao Kan broke in like a wind as soon as he lifted the curtain, and even shouted in a hurry without even caring about the military salute: "General! General! Yiyi Duanzhou Li, Li ...... There is an urgent official document delivered! ”

"Duanzhou's official documents?" Shang Cheng, who was talking to Wen Mu, heard the news of Duanzhou, and suddenly stood up, and the heavy handsome case was also taken by him suddenly, and the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, official documents, paperweight, pen holder and arrow rack and the general sword given by the emperor fell to the ground with a sigh; The red silk on the general's sword was also soaked in a puddle of ink, and it was dyed in a large patch. He stepped over the overturned handsome case, grabbed the head of the tiger beast on the Baokan iron armor and asked repeatedly, "Where are the people?" Document! Where is Kumon? ”

At this moment of chaos, Su Zha and Duan Siyi came in with an officer with a dead gray face and lips on the left and right. Seeing Shang Cheng, the officer was stunned for a moment, and immediately struggled to give Shang Cheng a military salute.

Shang Cheng greeted him and helped him, and said first, "No need to salute." He turned his face and asked Bao Kan again, "What's the matter?" He's wounded? Is it called a military doctor? ”

"Not wounded! I was choked by the cold in the river! Bao Kan glared at the Duanzhou officer, and said with some admiration, "There are many people on the pontoon bridge on the river, and the horses can't cross. ”

"How many? Where are the others? ”

"It's all in the river." Bao Kan said. But he immediately added, "All saved." Damn it, there were only six who fell into the river, and at least sixty who jumped into the river to save people......" Seeing that Shang Cheng's face was a little unkind, he didn't say any more. I don't know which mixed protein idiot's bullshit military order, what kind of liquor to dispel the cold robe is deep, and anyone who dives to save people will be rewarded with two gourd liquor, but in order to fight for the merit of saving people, the diving almost didn't fight first. The few Duanzhou soldiers who fell into the water were even worse, they were not frozen to death by the river, but they were almost strangled to death by more than a dozen hands on their bodies......

Hearing that a few Duanzhou soldiers were fine, Shang Cheng asked reassuringly, "You were sent by General Li Shen?" ”

"Yes, yes......" The Duanzhou officer was still shivering as he spoke, his teeth snapped, and he couldn't pronounce words clearly. Lee, Li ...... General Lee...... General ......"

Bao Kan said beside him: "I know it's Li Shen...... The general sent you! The general is asking, where is General Li's official document? ”

The Duanzhou officer trembled and wanted to touch it in his arms, but he couldn't lift his arm no matter what. Bao Kan took out a small white cloth bag from his arms and asked, "Is this it?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes...... Yes......"

Shang Cheng took the oil paper bag, and did not shy away from the people next to him, two of them ripped off the strings that tied the pockets, and asked while taking out the letter: "Does General Li have any message?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" The officer still stuttered heavily. Duan Sicong saw that the officer was so cold that he couldn't speak fluently, rushed out in a few steps, and ran back with a gourd in a moment, regardless of Bao Kan shouting "Don't get him drunk" next to him, he had already pinched the officer's cheeks and poured half of the gourd wine. In the blink of an eye, the Duanzhou officer immediately burned red everywhere from his forehead to his cheeks to the roots of his ears, rolled his eyes and stared at the roof of the tent, gurgling in his throat, and only said: "General Li said, said, said...... Madame go, angelica, angelica...... Return...... ......The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and in the end it was hard to distinguish the sound like a gossamer, and suddenly his hands and feet were spread, and his head immediately drooped down, followed by the sound of snoring.

Bao Kan angrily grabbed Duan Si and scolded him, and spit Xingzi directly sprayed Duan Si's face: "Suffered by your mother!" Look at what you! Madame, Madame ran Angelica! I'll take a look at them one by one! Look! I asked you to pour two less, and your ears and buttocks were up, so you didn't hear it? ”

Duan Si also knew that he had done something bad. He didn't dare to defend himself, and hung his head to let Bao Kan scold.

Shang Cheng had already fully understood what Li Shen was saying.
