"Second brother, this expedition is also the sincerity of Tang Gong to see that you and I are here to vote. The second brother can stay at home if he is in trouble, so that his family will not be implicated, and Chai Sichang must be able to understand it. Xu Maogong said that, and saw Shan Xiongxin nodding after hearing this.
"Mao Gong, this time the commander of the expedition is Li Jing Li Yaoshi, this person is also a little famous on the road, but the initiative in this battle is not in the hands of you and me, the Jin army is fierce, Xiong Kuohai, Ding Yanping, Luo Song and Xue Wanchun also have the courage of ten thousand people, especially Xiong Kuohai and Ding Yanping with two guns are famous brave generals, you and my brother may be difficult to protect this expedition!" Wei Zheng reminded Xu Maogong from the side.
"How can you not know the poor way? That Sanyuan Li Jing is not a reckless person, he must have a plan, and he will not confront the Jin army head-on. We just have to do what we want, and it's okay. Xu Mao's public security caressed the heroes.
"Tomorrow's school field will be ordered, all brothers should go back to their rooms early to rest!"
After listening to Xu Maogong's words, everyone got up and bowed and went out. Soon there were only Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, and Xie Yingdeng, the three best brothers in the room.
"Second brother, this is not a matter after all!" Uncle Wang said in a timely manner.
"Alas! Brother, brother, I'm not happy either. Shan Xiongxin saw that the two were not outsiders, so he opened his heart and complained.
"According to a certain point of view, wouldn't it be better for the three of me to go back to Erxianzhuang for the people? It's like being angry here. ”
"Yes! Second brother, that Luzhou Pei Shiju, Pei Yun and others have never made it difficult to wait with us, and General Li Jing and Li Daoxing, the general of Luzhou, also went to the village to make good friends with the second brother, giving us enough face, why should we offend the Luzhou government for others, sooner or later implicate Boss Shan. Xie Yingdeng muttered about the good of the Luzhou government.
"I'll wait to vote, then Li Yuan will accept us in front of Chai Shao, but in the eyes of Tang Gong, only Qin Qiong has not waited for us, and he has never looked at it highly, and he is very aggrieved to make a living here, it is better to go back to the village and be an idle rich man, alas!"
"Second brother, if you want to listen to the words of the younger brother, you can take advantage of the fact that after I go on the expedition, I can abandon Li Yuan and steal back to my home in Luzhou. Yingdeng and I also looked for an opportunity to break away from the Tang Army and go to the village to reunite with my brother? ”
"Hmmm! A certain look makes it. Shan waited for the two brothers to come over in the village, and it would be best if there were brothers to come together. Hehe! After Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng's explanation, Shan Xiong's confidence has improved a lot, and he seems to have found a path that suits him best.
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
After the three of them got up and bowed to each other, Wang and Xie walked out of the hall and went to their rooms.
Seeing that there was no one around, Xie Yingdeng asked in a low voice: "Brother Wang, but do you want to take the second brother to Luzhou as a general?" ”
"Shhh---, be quiet. You and I just know about it. Could it be that the second brother treats you and me like brothers, how can you not be saved when you die? ”
"Huh! Brother Wang said it well, and the younger brother has this intention. The second brother was originally a good man, and if he voted for the lord, he would definitely make a difference, and he seemed to be angry here. ”
"Hehehehehe!"
The two of them laughed quietly as they walked, looking extremely relaxed, and they didn't take Li Yuan in their eyes at all.
In an alley on a back street in the west of Jinyang City, there is a small courtyard without any name mark, this is Li Jing's home. When he came to Jinyang alone, he still relied on the help of his friend Chai Shao to buy this quiet and exclusive courtyard in this remote street. This is also in line with Li Jing's character who likes to be pure.
This is not far from Chai Shao's Horse Mansion, usually Li Jing does not take the initiative to go to his colleagues or friends Chai Shao's house, and only Chai Shao will come to sit in his own courtyard. On this day, Li Jing had just returned home from the Tang Guogong Mansion to participate in the government meeting, and Chai Shao pushed the door and entered.
"Brother Pharmacist, Brother Wei called you a few times in the back, why did you turn a deaf ear and just go home?"
"Brother Sichang! The day before yesterday, you and Xu Ji came to me to ask for your views on a certain situation, and a certain person shared what he thought in his heart and told you about it. Why did the lord push the younger brother out when the lord's mansion was discussing today? Now he has also received the handsome seal of the expedition to Hedong, do you know that the younger brother has never led the troops alone, and this war is related to the survival of Jinyang, which is like chasing ducks on the shelves, so how can the younger brother be good? ”
"Brother Pharmacist, Uncle Yue asked Yu Mou, but his brother's knowledge was far inferior to that of the virtuous brother, so he had to push the virtuous brother in front. However, this is also a rare opportunity for the virtuous brother! If the Hedong Army is defeated in this battle, it will not only relieve the siege of Yang Yong, the new emperor of the capital, but also create a name for me in Jinyang, which will also be beneficial and harmless to the future of the virtuous brother. ”
"Alas! The younger brother knows the brother's intentions. But even if Jing is talented, this time he will send troops to Hedong to be more auspicious! What kind of future, name and other imaginary things are mentioned. ”
"Brother Yaoshi, although the Hedong Jin Army is strong, don't I have a chance to Jinyang Tang Army?"
"Opportunity? If Yang Guang is easy to deal with, then why did Xu Ji, Xu Maogong and other soldiers and generals abandon Lu County for thousands of miles to join me in Jinyang? Not to mention that Li Jing, the general of Hedong, forced the landing of more than 500,000 Central Plains rebels at Hangu Pass with only 100,000 soldiers. ”
"Then, why didn't the virtuous brother push the position of coach during the government meeting? Why do you want to fight hard? ”
"Alas! If you don't take advantage of Yang Guang's million-strong army to besiege the capital and fight with it, there will be no good opportunity to borrow. It's hard to win, but it's better than sitting still! Fortunately, there are Xu Ji and Wei Zheng to help me. ”
"Virtuous brother can fight with peace of mind, although he is dull as a brother, he will also ensure that you have no worries about military rations."
"So little brother thanked my brother first." After that, Li Jing bowed his hand to Chai Shao and thanked him.
Just when the two were talking happily, suddenly, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and two Taoist leaders walked in with Buddha dust in their hands.
"Huh! Who is so-and-so? It turned out that two military advisors were here, please sit down and speak. Chai Shao didn't see it, and actually stepped forward on behalf of the host to greet the two guests who entered the door. Li Jing didn't mind at all, he just got up and greeted Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng who came to visit.
"Huh! I don't want Sichang to be here, so the two of us are polite. Xu and Wei sat at the same table after seeing each other with Chai and Li.
"What do you mean by the two military advisors here?" Chai Shao asked.
"Three days later, they will send troops south to conquer Hedong, and the two of them are here to ask the pharmacist and the virtuous brother for advice on war strategies." Xu Maogong arched his hand and said.
"The two military advisors look up to Li Jing, and there is really no strategy available!" Li Jing replied.
"Huh!" Xu Maogong smiled, took out a white silk silk from his arms and spread it out on the stone table, this was actually a map of Hedong County.
Xu Maogong pointed to the map and said to Li Jing and Chai Shao: "Two virtuous brothers, please look, this map shows the troop configuration of the Hedong Army. The easternmost Yanmen Pass Xue Wanchun is not the direction of this attack, so he can ignore it. Ding Yanping, south of the south, south of the Fen River, and Luo Song in the southwest, can choose one of the three directions for our army's attack. Poor Dao thought that the vast sea south of the Zhongfen River in the three places had the most people and the strongest strength, so he should avoid its edge. It is only necessary to order our Tang army to garrison Fenyang City at risk, and beware of crossing the river to attack the vast sea. Huo County, where the Jin army Ding Yanping is located in the south, has 30,000 defenders, here is the main road that I must pass through to enter and exit the Central Plains in Jinyang, Ding Yanping is old and heavy, the precautions are extremely strict, and it is close to the boundary Xiuxiong and the vast sea, and they are horns of each other, and it is not easy to attack Hedong from here. Only the defenders of the Luo Song Department in Puxian County are 20,000, and its frontal defense range is wide, and the gap between the west of Puxian County and the Yellow River is large, and our army will have a gap if it attacks from this direction. This was the only weakness of the Jin army north of Hedong. ”
After Xu Maogong finished speaking, he looked up at Li Jing and Chai Shao, who were still looking at the map.
"Xu Junshi's analysis is quite reasonable, although this Puxian garrison general Luo Song has force but little resourcefulness, going south from here, although it is not the right way, but it can surprise and disrupt the position of the Hedong Army, it is really the best policy!" Chai Shao shouted happily. Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng couldn't help but nod and smile when they heard this.
Li Jing looked at the picture and said nothing. His fingers kept comparing on the map, as if comparing the distance between the three men and horses of the Hedong Army. Chai Shao and the three of them didn't speak, just waited for Li Jing to speak.
"Brother Sichang, Brother Xu Wei, what is the goal of sending troops to Hedong this time to be regarded as a complete victory? Jing Ke never thought of going to occupy Luzhou. Li Jing raised his head and asked the three of them in a low voice.
"This ---, pharmacist and virtuous brother, since he has sent troops, why don't you want to take Luzhou? In a certain view, when the expulsion of the Jin king's forces from Hedong is regarded as a complete victory. Chai Shao shouted.
"Huh! Poor Dao thought that it was enough to take the land north and west of the Fenyang River, and this large piece of land was rich in grain and could be the granary of Jinyang. Don't be greedy! Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng looked at each other and said with a smile.
"Hmmm! Brother Xu Dao is high. It is not difficult to take the land north of the Fenyang River and use the Fen River as the boundary to defend it, but it is a good plan. But ----"
"Medicine Master, but what? If the north of the Fenyang River is not occupied, what is the meaning of sending troops this time? Chai Shao asked anxiously, and Xu and Wei were also puzzled.
"Huh! To take the land north of the Fenyang River, it is necessary to take the Luo Song Department of Puxian County, Zhai Rang and Hou Junji of Pingyang City, and also divide the troops to defend the four cities of Pishan, Jishan, Xinjiang, and Linfen along the river, which will make our army's forces extremely scattered and the defensive surface too large. And if Huo County and Jiexiu Jin army go west to cross the Fenyang River, it will easily cut off the retreat of the Tang army north of our Fenyang River. ”
"Oh?" Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng were surprised when they heard Li Jing's analysis, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"What the pharmacist said is reasonable, but the poor road is negligent, if there are 500,000 soldiers in the southern expedition, this plan should be the best policy. It is indeed difficult for a mere 250,000 horses to hold a huge area, I wonder if the pharmacist has the best strategy? Xu Maogong asked.
"This expedition must avoid losing both, my Jinyang family background is far less solid than Yang Guang in Hedong. When the victory is not measured by the gains and losses of one city and one place, it should be based on strengthening the strength of our Jinyang in the big war. It is advisable to hurt Yang Guang, but let him not dare to launch a counterattack easily. A certain place to occupy is here---" Li Jing said, smashing his fist into a place on the map.
Chai Shao and the other three gathered over to take a look, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Tang Gong asked you to attack the east of the river, how can you say that you are going to occupy the land of the Hetao, isn't it the opposite of the other?" Chai Shao exclaimed in confusion. Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng beside him frowned, and they didn't know what they meant.
"Huh! Now the Hetao is an empty place, originally Yuwen Chengdu led 100,000 elite Jin troops to garrison here, but the whole army was sent to attack the capital, and now its army has passed Shuofang City, away from the land of Hetao, it is a good opportunity for our Tang army to go west to recapture here! ”
"Uh-huh--- well---, good! What a thought! Xu Maogong suddenly shouted, his face was also full of smiles, and he couldn't stop nodding.
"Xu Junshi, what's good? This time, a certain father-in-law asked us to go south to attack Hedong County, even if we can't take it all, we must occupy most of Hedong. How did you come up with the idea of going to the loop? Chai Shao still asked puzzled.
"Don't say anything about the pharmacist and the virtuous brother, wait for the poor road to try to solve it for the heir."
Li Jing smiled and nodded.
"Brother Si Changxian, who will win the battle for the throne of the Great Sui today?"
"Huh! Naturally, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, finally won the victory and became the emperor, this is something that three-year-old children in the capital know, why bother asking! ”
"Hmmm! Poor Dao thinks the same way. After Yang Guang became emperor, it was convenient for the north of the Great Sui to have only one place in Jinyang to be the enemy, how could he not attack Jinyang? Si Chang tried to imagine, if Yang Guangfa's Hedong Army came to attack Jinyang, how could he not scruple about the Tang army of Hetao to go south to attack the capital in one fell swoop? If so, the Tang army of my Hetao is like a sharp sword hanging over its head, which is the intention of the pharmacist and virtuous brother to take the land of the Hetao. Xu Maogong shook his feather fan as he spoke, nodding his head.
"Huh! Fortunately, Brother Xu Dao is my Jinyang military advisor, if I go to Yang Guang, I can't do it! Li Jing couldn't help but sigh after listening to Xu Mao say what he thought in his heart.
"I see! It's a good idea to think about it like this. That is, it does not violate the holy will and hits Yang Guang's sore spot, and makes Hedong's defense of our army powerless. A certain should go to report to his father-in-law to know. After Chai Shao was explained by Xu Maogong, he also came to his senses and even applauded the plan. was about to turn around and go to the Tang State Mansion to see his father-in-law, but was pulled by Li Jing.
"Si Chang must not go to inform the lord first, there are a lot of meticulous works in Hedong in Jinyang City, if the news leaks and leads Yuwen Chengdu to divide his troops back to defend the Hetao, my plan will be in vain!"
"Change the direction of the march, how can you not tell Tang Gong first?"
"Brother Si Changxian, after our army left Jinyang, it went all the way to the south, creating the illusion that our army was going to attack Luo Songbu in Pu County, and after concealing the Hedong Army, we suddenly crossed the river to the west to grab the Hetao, and it was not too late to report to Tang Gong at that time!" Xu Maogong also helped Li Jing speak.
"It's good! As far as the four of us know, don't spread it. Chai secretly prepared more sheepskins here to make a raft to cross the river. ”
"Huh! Exactly. ”
The four of them all burst out laughing when they agreed in unison. This Li Jing is worthy of being the god of the army, and such a clever plan to attack the south and the west not only easily concealed the resourceful Xu Maogong and Wei Zheng, but also made Yang Er, who was far away in Luoyang City, cry out unexpectedly afterwards, and regarded it as a stroke of genius.
Besides, the Yu culture and the army of the Western Expedition crossed Tongguan and came to Huayin City, where there were 100,000 soldiers and horses of the original Shaohua Mountain Jin Army led by Hua Gongming and Tong Huan. It is only 200 miles away from the capital, and it seems that there are two more days away to realize the siege of the capital.
"Marshal, at the end, 100,000 people and horses here will be on standby, and I will have 1 million stone military rations from my Guangtong warehouse as food and grass for the whole army." Hua Gongming came to see Yu Culture and reported.
"Good! With your million-stone military rations, Ben Shuai will be more confident. General Wu Yunzhao, tomorrow your 50,000 horses will go first, and you must camp ten miles away from the capital, so that Yang Yong, Yang Su and others in the capital know that our Hedong million Jin army is coming, and the army of Ben Shuai will arrive later. ”
