Chapter 46: Where is the enemy?

Wei Qing followed everyone out of the tent, he didn't say anything, but he felt very funny.

It was General Wu's marching arrangement that was interesting.

On the surface, the teams are only spread out horizontally in the order of 54321, but there is a small change, and this order is 54312, not 54321.

Wei Qing understood Wu Ming's intentions very well.

The third team from the left and the second team from the left already have a grudge, so let the two teams move forward side by side, and once they encounter the enemy, they are afraid of tearing each other down. What's more, under the leadership of Gu Weidong, the second team on the left has no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit, so this team must be put in the safest place. This is also the reason why Wu Ming made the fifth team in the northernmost side instead of in the southernmost side.

I heard that General Wu seconded General Zhang of the third team from the left to the second team a few days ago, the reason is that the third team on the left is full of talents, Ma Chao, Li Guang, Hua Rong, Bai Buxin, and Wei Qing, all of whom can fight well, so they might as well support the second team on the left, not to mention that Ma Chao was originally transferred from the second team to the third team on the left, and the third team on the left should also be called back.

This reason is actually not fully explained, and its subtext is that there are really no such qualified generals in the second team on the left.

At present, there are only two generals in the second left team who can fight, one is General Zhang, who was transferred from the third left team, and the other is General Wu, the commander-in-chief of the left route army, who acted with the second left team.

Now it seems that the combat effectiveness of the third team on the left should be regarded as the strongest, the tooth general Ma Chao, the staff generals Li Guang, Hua Rong, Bai Buxin, plus Liu Anbang, who knows people and makes good use of them, and Wei Qing, who often acts as the savior of the battlefield, is indeed full of talents. Because of this, in this marching sequence, the third team from the left is in the center, as the main force.

The chariots and horses were gone, and the left army set off. Crossing the small branch river, the army of 50,000 spread out horizontally and marched all the way east.

On the first day, the people shouted and neighed, and they were in good spirits.

The next day, the armor was sonorous and the spirit was restrained.

On the third day, the expression was confused and the people were anxious.

Day 4.。。。。。 Day 5。。。。。。

For seven days, the 50,000 army walked on the road so quietly, and they didn't even see a shadow of the Jin army!

The Left Army has now performed a miracle, since the self-army, only five people have suffered minor injuries caused by accidental sprained feet or slips, and a few have slight diarrhea, which is the ---- of all losses, and three people have a cold.

Wu Ming's black line in his head. He really didn't understand, where did the Jin army go? After exploring the outpost for hundreds of miles, there is still no trace of the Jin army, have they all retreated?

"Call Wei Qing!" Wu Ming couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, he knew that it was useless to ask others, so he simply didn't have a meeting, and directly sent someone to call Wei Qing.

Wei Qing walked into the big tent with an unhappy face.

He was not unhappy, Zhao Yueru actually had some smiles at him sometimes in the past few days, especially yesterday, as if he was not paying attention, Zhao Yueru actually called out "Brother Wei", although it was only once, it was enough for Wei Qing to be happy for a while. You must know that these days, he has listened to Zhao Yueru Bai Brother Bai every day and Bai Brother Bai shouting for a short time, no matter how generous Wei Qing is, he has a little bit of a bad feeling in his heart, and now he finally hears Zhao Yueru call him Big Brother, how can he not be happy? But this good mood made Gu Weidong ruined.

Wei Qing heard Wu Ming call him, and hurriedly followed Wu Ming's personal soldiers to the camp of the second team on the left, but he didn't expect to see Gu Weidong as soon as he entered the camp. This General Gu has been deprived of command by Wu Ming since the last war, nominally called a staff officer, but in fact he only "participates" and does not "plan", he naturally has no good ideas to come up with, and no one wants to hear the good ideas he thinks, so later he simply didn't even "participate" in "participation", you hold your meeting, I play my own game, okay?

Wu Ming was also happy that Gu Weidong didn't come to make trouble, so he didn't pay attention to it. Gu Weidong and a few of his own soldiers recruited cats and dogs every day to enjoy themselves.

After walking for a day today, he had just gotten off the camp, Gu Weidong hurriedly recruited a few pro-soldiers, and he wanted to play an interesting game. On the march, he quietly left the army to wander, and in a nearby village he caught a small dog, which he had taken with him, and now that the army was encamped, he decided to have a good time with the dog.

He commanded his soldiers to set up a pot under the tree, and boiled a pot of water in the pot, and a rope hung from the branch, and the dog was hung from the rope.

The height of the rope is just enough for the puppy's hind legs to be placed in boiling water. As a result, the dog had to curl up two hind legs hard, after a long time, the puppy was tired, the hind legs slid down, and was scalded by boiling water, the puppy screamed, and hurriedly curled up two hind legs again, until it could not hold it again, and the hind legs were scalded again.

Gu Weidong sat on the side and watched, overjoyed, and several of his own soldiers also coaxed.

Wei Qing happened to pass by here at this time, Gu Weidong didn't see Wei Qing, and was engrossed in appreciating his creativity. Wei Qing looked at the poor puppy, and his heart was angry.

It's just that this flower is incompetent, and it's so cruel that it's really unsightly.

The sergeant who led the way for Wei Qing had long been surprised, this General Gu really hadn't shown any other skills except for abusing dogs. "Centurion Wei, let's go, General Wu is still waiting." The sergeant urged.

Wei Qing had no choice but to endure not listening to the dog's screaming, and followed the sergeant to General Wu's tent.

"Wei Qing, come and see." Wu Ming didn't have time to pay attention to Wei Qing's expression, as soon as he saw Wei Qing coming, he immediately called Wei Qing to the table, on the table, there was a large map, Wu Ming pointed to the map: "We have arrived here now, but there is no trace of the Jin army in the front and back, left and right sentry for hundreds of miles, where do you think the Jin army on the right may be now?" ”

Wei Qing collected his mood and focused on the map.

"The last general doesn't know where the Jin army will be, but the last general can boldly guess where the Jin army should be." Wei Qing replied.

Wu Ming smiled: "I'm a rough person, don't chew words with me, just say it." ”

Wei Qing's face was a little feverish. In the past few days, he has had a lot of contact with Zhao Yueru, although this Zhao girl is an ordinary peasant girl, but she is quite a bit of literary talent, but she was taught by an old pedant when she was a teenager, although this old scholar taught her a lot of cultural knowledge, but at the same time brought her a very bad habit, that is, chewing words. Wei Qing: Now this is to make Zhao Yueru bad.

He had no choice but to pretend not to hear General Wu's sarcasm, and pointed to a place on the map: "The last general thinks that the Jin army on the right should be here." ”

"Suzaku Mountain!" Wu Ming blurted out, "This is already behind the main force of the Jin Army, how do you think that the Jin Army on the right will be deployed here?" ”

Wei Qing didn't answer directly, but asked a question: "General, if you were a general of the Jin Army, where would you defend in the current situation?" ”

Wu Ming's heart sank.

This is a very common method, he often uses, in order to guess the location of the Jin army, he also changed his angle more than once, standing in the position of the general of the Jin army to think about this problem, but he really did not think of deploying defense in Suzaku Mountain.

"Tell me what you think, don't ask me." Wu Ming didn't want Wei Qing to know that he had actually thought about it a long time ago, but he didn't think about this location.

Wei Qing had no choice but to talk in detail: "The Jin army was defeated last time, not only in terms of troops, but also in terms of grain and grass supplies, and the bigger problem was that there were not enough ships to transport 。。。。。。 ”

Wu Ming slapped his face. He got it!

Although Wei Qing's words had only just begun, he understood it at once.

The reason why Wei Qing took into account Suzaku Mountain and he didn't expect it was because he missed one thing when thinking about the problem: the logistics supply of the Jin Army was insufficient!

He just considered how the Jin army should be deployed under the existing manpower and material conditions, this kind of defense is of course to be both offensive and defensive, so he has not been able to find a suitable location, but if we take into account the lack of logistics supply of the Jin army, then at least one problem will be solved: the deployment of the Jin army on the right side will not find a place with both offense and defense, because they are now unable to attack on the right side, they want to find a location that is absolutely conducive to defense, under the premise that a large number of soldiers were annihilated by the Han army, food and grass are insufficient, and logistics supply is not available. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the left side can be held with the least amount of manpower, and only then can the question of whether to counterattack be considered on the front and right sides.

Therefore, first, this location cannot leave the main force of the Jin army, otherwise it will either be isolated and unsupported, or bypassed by the Han army, and it will be meaningless to deploy the defense, and second, this location must be a location that the Han army cannot bypass and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In this kind of location, the plains do not have to be considered, and the best option is the steep mountainous terrain.

It is true that only Suzaku Mountain can meet this condition.

The position of Vermilion Bird Mountain is behind the flank of the main force of the Jin army, if you want to attack the Jin army from the side, you must first take Vermilion Bird Mountain, otherwise the flank of the Han army will be threatened, and since this mountain is in the rear of the main force of the Jin army, it is naturally impossible to bypass. More importantly, although this mountain is not high, it is extremely steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, all of which meet the requirements of the Jin army.

To put it simply, if the Jin Army on the right side wants to shrink its defense, the only choice can only be Suzaku Mountain!

Wei Qing was confused by Wu Ming's clapping action, and for a while he didn't know whether he should continue, and looked at Wu Ming in a daze.

Wu Ming smiled: "Wei Qing, your judgment is good, I understand." It should indeed be Suzaku Mountain. Okay, we don't have to be so grinding anymore, tomorrow we will go straight to Suzaku Mountain! ”

If you look at the map, the itinerary of the Han army on the left is not a straight line, the Han army first marched straight east, and then suddenly turned the direction to the northeast, the target: Suzaku Mountain.

When the Han army arrived at Suzaku Mountain, it was getting late, and as expected, the Jin army was indeed stationed here. Wu Ming ignored his fatigue, and as soon as he set up camp, he called a group of generals to check on the enemy's situation.
