Chapter 7 (05) Xiao Luo Yi (Secondary 5)
The atmosphere in the hall was originally quite harmonious, but as soon as he mentioned the Yanshan military, Shang Cheng changed color, and asked himself again and again how he learned about the secret of the military aircraft, and Chen Pu was also a little confused. She lowered her eyes, avoided Shang Cheng's blazing gaze, and explained calmly: "At the end of August, the military department convened several military meetings, and the discussion was the grassland strategy sent by your Yanshan, and several governors of the Liyuan camp, the Pingyuan General's Mansion and several Zhuguo Shangzhu countries in Beijing all participated, and I also went to ......."
The ghostly light in Shang Cheng's left eye flickered, and he stared at Chen Pu for a long time. What that plan involved was not just a simple attack and strike, but a general outline and draft of a series of military operations that might occur in the coming years. It is not just a simple plan that can be implemented by a Weizhen in Yanshan, but requires the full cooperation of all parties, one by one, he needs the imperial court to fully support him in terms of materials and manpower, and he also needs the two Weizhen of Bohai and Dingjin to cooperate with the military operations of the Yanshan Guard Army from the east and west. He knew that in the face of such a huge and complex military plan, the imperial court and the military department would definitely not make up their minds immediately, and would definitely discuss and deliberate repeatedly, so it was not surprising that the military department would find senior generals to hold a meeting to solicit opinions and opinions. But Chen Pu is just a fictitious pillar country, how can she be qualified to participate in this kind of meeting?
"I'm also the left squire of the military department......"
I see. Shang Cheng understood. The admirals of the four David towns in the north are also the left squire of the military department, and he knows this practice of the imperial court, although he is only an acting admiral, and he does not have the official seal and official seal of the squire, but his Yulu branch clearly records that he is now enjoying the treatment of a squire one more than a squire, which is about the same amount of money and grain as the salary sent by Wei Mulu, and there are about two hundred yuan a month......
Although he was still surprised as to why Chen Pu participated in this kind of meeting, since Chen Pu was the squire of the Ministry of War, then she had the right to participate in the military meeting of the Ministry of War, and it made sense that she knew the confidential plan proposed by Yan Shanwei. In this way, it seems that the plan has not been leaked.
Shang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately apologized to Chen Pu for his recklessness just now. He was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm so sorry. I'm such a quick temper, sometimes I don't even listen to what others say and get angry, you must not take it to heart. ”
Chen Pu laughed and said, "You are good at everything, but this temperament is too impatient, and sometimes you don't think about the consequences, which seems too reckless." She casually wanted to cite two things to prove that what she said was not wrong, but after searching around in her mind, she couldn't find any examples of Shang Cheng suffering because of his recklessness. Shang Zida doesn't seem to have really done anything out of the ordinary, but why does she always feel that this person is not down-to-earth? She wondered in her heart as she said in a serious tone, "...... It's not good. You are now a fake commander, and your words and deeds are watched by countless people, and the slightest move will be taken by the people below to ponder, so you have to be more cautious in your words and deeds, and carefully consider the possible situations in advance. Remember one sentence and one sentence, everything is foreseen, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted......" She was preaching at length, and when she looked up, she happened to see Shang Cheng staring at her with a strange expression, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised, and she couldn't help but stop. Why, did you say it wrong?
She immediately revisited her words.
That's right! In the past six months, she has spurred and restrained herself according to this statement, and has benefited a lot, which can be seen from the increasing attention of the military department to her opinions and the frequent summons of her father. What did the merchant become, looking at himself like this?
She suddenly remembered that she had also heard what others had said, and now she had just changed a few words and copied them to teach Shang Cheng. But who did she listen to?
She suddenly remembered that she had heard Shang Cheng say this! At this time last year, Shang Cheng suddenly recommended her to serve as the governor of Yanshan at a meeting in the Yanshan camp, she was afraid that she could not bear such a heavy responsibility, and she was also afraid of the criticism and criticism of the important ministers in the court, so she went to Shang Cheng, hoping that he could withdraw his suggestion. It was at that time that Shang Cheng said something to himself that meant something to the same point.
Her face turned red. It's so embarrassing. How could she take Shang Cheng's words to enlighten her and guide him in reverse? And she became more and more confused. Why didn't she notice it before, these words that she had been citing as a warning were actually from a monk who admired Hongchen and took off his clothes, and from a general who relied on his human exploits, what could be more surprising than this?
Shang Cheng also saw Chen Pu's embarrassment, so he diverted the topic and said, "The general mentioned the war just now. I'll tell the general the good news first, this sortie is a big victory......"
In September, the Yanshan Guards sent troops at the same time in Yandong Yanzhong, and they were caught off guard by the Tuqi people, and both sides were great victories, and there were thousands of ears of people who were cut back from the grassland alone, and countless cattle, sheep, horses, and tents were captured. Especially in the final battle of Yanzhong, it was a big tent that completely annihilated two black flags, and there were only five gold medals found on the battlefield, and the corpse of a general was also grabbed. Although the people of Natu did not carry a gold medal on their bodies, their clothing, armor and weapons were completely different from those of others, and there was a red gold bracelet on his wrist that was more elaborate than the gold medal of Samu, and he knew at a glance that he was a big guy. Unfortunately, until Shang Cheng left Yanzhou, the Wei Mansion had not found out the identity of this guy. However, this is clearly a steppe aristocracy; Maybe it's still a member of the royal family of Tuduci......
Chen Pu pondered and asked, "The battle in Yanzhong is commanded by Zhang Shao, right?" Why, they didn't catch a few alive? Let the captives identify it, and everything will be clear? ”
Shang Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. There are captives, but no one among them knows who this guy really is. In addition, although Yanzhong's ambush battle was won, the result was still far from what he expected in advance. Zhang Shao's first command of the battle was inevitably in a hurry, and the deputy commander Sun Huan was in a hurry to get the credit, and before the large team of the people of Tu Ji had entered the ambush circle, the two of them hurriedly launched an attack, and as a result, only the two banners of the big tent and three or four hundred tribal soldiers were retained. Alas, it took a month before and after, and a huge pocket formation arranged by the border army of the whole fifteen battalions and thousands of villagers along the road, but in the end there was only this gain, which cannot but be said to be a pity......
Chen Pu hurriedly comforted him and said, "Zhang Shao, they are probably also afraid that if they let the people go too deep, they will cause more damage to all parts of Yanbei." As long as we win this battle, if there are too many complications, or if we beat the Turks too painfully, it may affect your next military strategy. I remember that your submission also mentioned that there will be one or two large-scale expeditions to the grassland in the year after tomorrow, and the new and old accounts can be combined at that time! ”
Shang Cheng nodded in approval of Chen Pu's idea. What if he doesn't approve of it? It's impossible to turn back the clock and start the war all over again, right? This year's war has come to an end, and although there are regrets, the tactical purpose of sending troops to attack the grasslands has been achieved, and the enemy will more or less slow down the pace of southward movement. If the people want to take revenge at the beginning of spring next year, he will also prepare a bigger "surprise" for these "uninvited guests"!
Chen Pu asked: "Are you so sure that the people of Tuqi will definitely go south from Yandong next spring?" "The military plan presented by Yan Shanwei occupies a large part of the content related to the fact that the Turks will definitely attack from the Beizheng line in the eastern part of Yanshan, although this judgment is very convincing from the actual situation, but it is a hypothesis and conjecture after all, and there is no strong evidence to prove it. If the time comes, if the people of Tuqi choose the bluffing Yanxi as the breakthrough point, the Yanshanwei with an empty army will encounter a catastrophe. Right now, not only Chen Pu is worried about Yanxi's safety, but the imperial court and the military department also have the same doubts. She guessed that Shang Cheng's sudden entry into Beijing might be an arrangement made by the imperial court and the military department out of prudence.
She said euphemistically: "If the Turks don't go from Yandong, then the plan will be too risky......
This is not a risk, but a conclusion that they have come to after analyzing a large number of facts one by one. There are mountains of money and grain piled up in Nanguan in Yixian County, which is a piece of fat that cannot be separated for the people of Tujici. However, the western direction of Yan did not have this kind of "attraction", and the geographical conditions there did not allow the Tuqi people to make such a decision, and from Fangzhou to the north was a mountainous hilly area, and the military facilities were more dense, both of which were not conducive to the rapid movement of the cavalry of the Tuqi people. If the Tuqi people want to eat "meat", they can only go to Yandong, threaten Duanzhou through North Zhengxi, attract the Yanshan Guard, and then take the opportunity to take Yixian......
Chen Pu admits that Shang Cheng's analysis is very reasonable. But who can say clearly about the war? Since Shang Cheng dared to take risks, wouldn't the Tuqi people take risks? If they really made up their minds to fight Fangzhou, what should Yan Shanwei do?
"If they dare to fight Fangzhou, I will dare to fight Blackwater City to see which of us can succeed first. Fangzhou is just a very ordinary state capital of Dazhao, and if it is lost, it will be lost, and it will be overturned and rebuilt, but Heishui City is the political, economic and cultural center of the Tuqi people in the east of the grassland, and it has never been lost in two or three hundred years, and it is a spiritual symbol. If Blackwater City is gone, the firm rule of the Tuqi people in the Eastern Grassland will be shaken, and then those small grassland tribes who can't bear the exploitation and oppression of the Tuqi people will go with us to take the lives of the Tuqi people! ”
