Chapter 291: The Battle of Spring Valley Begins
"Hahahaha, what a !!" Yuan Yao clapped his palms and laughed a few times, turned to look at Pang Tong, and said, "Shiyuan, what do you think of Bo Yan's strategy, is it possible to destroy Jiangdong?" ”
Pang Tong didn't expect Lu Xun to be able to put forward such a subtle strategy, and he had to admit that he had underestimated him before, bowed his hand, and said: "The strategy proposed by Lu Changshi is quite in line with the exquisite art of war, and the Jiangdong army will be caught off guard and it will be difficult to respond, and the soldiers and horses under General Yue, General Huang and General Zhang are all well-trained and well-equipped elite divisions, so that the 40,000-strong army will besiege day and night, and within a few days, it will be able to destroy the naval army of Lu Meng's department, and then the lord will be able to pacify Jiangdong by taking advantage of the situation!" ”
Lu Xun got up and thanked him: "The lord and Mr. have praised it falsely, even if there is no minister to propose this policy, I think that the lord and the military division must also have a way to pacify Jiangdong, and the minister is just offering ugliness." ”
Yuan Yao waved his hand slightly, and said: "Bo Yan doesn't need to be modest, this battle will adopt the battle strategy you proposed, if this battle can be won by a big win, you will be the first merit in this battle!" ”
Lu Xun hurriedly bowed down and responded: "Thank you, lord!! ”
Yuan Yao waved his hand to let Lu Xun sit down, then looked at Pang Tong, and said: "The military situation is urgent, Mr. immediately sent orders to the soldiers and horses of all departments, and let them act according to the words of the uncle. The key to this battle is that the transmission of information must be punctual and fast, so that Jinyiwei can fully cooperate with the two generals to march and fight! ”
Pang Tong replied: "No, the minister takes the order!" ”
。。。。。。
Danyang County, Jing County, Yue Fei Daying.
After Yue Fei received the military order from Pang Tong, his heart was immediately moved, Cao Jun had gone north to meet Yuan Shao, and the opportunity to pacify Jiangdong had finally come, and the lord had let himself serve as the lord to preside over this most critical battle in the future, and he must do his best to live up to the trust of the lord, after this battle, I Yue Fei will definitely be famous all over the world!!
"Someone quickly find General Gan to meet me!"
"No!"
……
Gan Ning was training soldiers and horses in the naval camp, and suddenly heard that Yue Fei was looking for him, Gan Ning hurriedly handed over the training affairs to the deputy general, and he came to Yue Fei's camp with a few guards, Yue Fei's personal guards were very familiar with taking Gan Ning's personal guards to the camp tent next to him to rest, when Gan Ning came to Yue Fei's tent, Yue Fei was looking down at the map, Gan Ning stepped forward and arched his hand with a smile, and said: "General, you are in such a hurry to find me, not just what's the matter?" ”
Yue Feiou noticed that Gan Ning had come over, Yue Fei handed the military report on the table to Gan Ning, and said: "Yuan Shao's army has gone south again, and Cao Cao has led the soldiers and horses near Xudu to meet the Hebei army, and the time has finally come to settle Jiangdong in a war!" The lord and the military adviser sent a military report, ordering you and me to work together with the troops and horses of General Li Siye, General Zhang Xutuo and General Huang Hansheng to first destroy the 30,000 sailors of Lu Meng's department by surprise, and then sweep the entire Danyang County! This is a military order sent by the lord and the sergeant, you read it first. ”
Gan Ning read the military report handed over by Yue Fei, and after reading it, he first laughed and arched his hand to Yue Fei, and said, "Congratulations to the general!" This battle is the most critical battle of our army in Jiangdong, the lord takes the general as the main general of this battle, which shows the lord's love and importance to the general, after this battle, the general will be able to spread far and wide! ”
Although Yue Fei doesn't like to play politics, this does not mean that he does not understand these, and Yue Fei is also clear about the various force groups in the army, but he also knows that the formation of these small forces is indispensable.
Now Yuan Yao has as many as 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, so many soldiers and horses Yuan Yao naturally can't always personally command, he can only hand over to the following generals to command these soldiers and horses, if all the generals under his command work together and take one person as the leader, then Yuan Yao should not be able to sleep at night.
The formation of these small force groups can not only allow Yuan Yao to balance the forces in the middle and rest assured of the soldiers and horses under each general, but also form a healthy competition situation for all soldiers and horses to compete for meritorious service, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
For this matter, Yuan Yao is naturally happy to see it, and as for the generals in the army, they will also acquiesce in this matter, but under normal circumstances, the generals will not put this matter on the table.
As for why Yuan Yao appointed him as the main general instead of letting Li Siye be the main general, Yue Fei also had his own considerations in his heart.
In his opinion, the reason why Yuan Yao made such an arrangement was because his soldiers and horses were the most critical soldiers and horses in this battle, and it could be said that this victory or defeat was on his shoulders; On the other hand, because Li Siye's prestige in the army is too high, Yuan Yao asked him to serve as the main general of this battle, in order to raise another benchmark in the army, so that he can form a balance with Li Siye.
Although Yue Fei thought about some things clearly, he would not say these words to Gan Ning.
Hearing Gan Ning's words, Yue Fei frowned slightly, and said: "The reason why the lord of this battle appointed me as the chief general is naturally due to the lord's own considerations, so we don't have to guess here, you can just say these things in my account, don't mention this when you go out, so as not to damage the relationship between our generals." ”
The forces under Yuan Yao's command are still expanding rapidly at this time, and if they want to benefit, they only need to fight externally, not even infighting, so the relationship between the generals in Yuan Yao's army is mostly good, and Gan Ning also knows that his words are easy to cause the displeasure of the other generals, so he replied with a smile: "The general can rest assured that the last general knows the importance and will definitely not mention these words in front of outsiders." ”
"Well, okay, let's not talk about that."
Yue Fei waved his hand to skim over the topic, and then said: "The lord ordered your troops to bluff to cover the whereabouts of our army, and after I and all the soldiers and horses besieged the Spring Valley camp of the Jiangdong Army, you will immediately lead your soldiers and horses to cut off the waterway of the Shuiyang River, so that the 20,000 sailors in Wanling City cannot go to support the Spring Valley camp, can you be sure of this matter?" ”
Gan Ning glanced at the map, and finally stretched out his hand to point on the map, and said: "General, the last general has already ordered the speedboat to explore the waterway of the Shuiyang River, there is a gourd mouth fifteen miles north of Xuancheng, the terrain is extremely precipitous, as long as our soldiers and horses take the first step to occupy this pass, the 20,000 sailors in Wanling City will not want to enter the waterway of the Yangtze River!! ”。
Yue Fei nodded slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, then I can rest assured, I will lead the army to leave tonight, you will transfer your three thousand soldiers and horses into our camp at night to bluff, you must not let the enemy find out, our army has left the camp, as for the matter of cutting off the waterway, you just need to be prepared and wait for my military order!" ”
"No, the last general will take the order!"
