Chapter 584: Strategic Stalemate and Qi Envoy Coming to Beijing
Shangshan County, Vatang Daying.
All kinds of flags are flying, and the camps are connected, stretching for more than ten miles.
People shouted and neighed horses, wheels and chariots, and countless people and baggage soldiers drove the pack horses, and rushed to the camp end to end.
In the Chinese military tent, Cao Hua, who was disposing of the military affairs booklet, raised his head and looked at Li Kun with a gloomy face, and a trace of doubt was provoked between his eyebrows.
"Gao Yang wants to surrender?"
Li Kun sat on the chair with a big sting, without raising his head, and said stiffly
"Yes, Gao Yang, the little prince of the Tang Kingdom, surrendered, and he also said that he could persuade his uncle, that is, the mad emperor Gao Lan, to surrender."
"I think it's not a fool for the Mad Emperor Gao Ran, surrender, it must be Gao Yang who was frightened by the power of the crossbow and said nonsense."
Cao Hua glanced at Luo Xiang, who was joining the army on the side.
The corners of Luo Xiang's mouth raised, and his tone was mocking
"General Li Kun can personally ask if Gao Yang was frightened, General Sun Xiu has already sent Gao Yang back, and he will be able to reach the camp soon."
Li Kun snorted coldly, "It's been a day and a night, if Gao Yang is still scared now, then he is too wasteful." ”
Cao Hua waved his hand and stopped Luo Xiang.
His first commander of the army, these generals were all brave generals who were under the command of the master in the past and could conquer and fight, especially Li Kun and Zhao Wu among the four generals of Zhongxing, both of whom had a lot of military achievements, in their eyes, they were just a yellow-haired girl, how could He De lead them.
What a burden that Master has found for himself.
Dong Ling stood up, holding a military booklet in his hand, and presented it as he spoke
"Commander, according to the Dingxiang Guard Line report, Dongting Duhufu, Sanchong Duhufu, each has a large army to pull out, rushed to Shangshan Duhufu, according to the route, six days later, the two armies respectively from the mountain, Julong two places, into the territory of Shangshan."
"I don't know if the Tang army will surrender, but we definitely have a few more fierce battles to fight."
Li Kun finally opened his eyes and glanced at Dong Ling, a glint flashed in his eyes, this girl is worthy of being promoted to the general of the General Staff Office by her second brother, and her vision is good.
Luo Xiang glanced at Dong Ling when he heard this, but did not speak. He knows Dong Ling's identity, although he is the No. 2 general of the General Office, but according to the practice of the imperial court, Princess Beiyang is only in name, and she is still in charge of affairs.
"Then according to General Dong's words, what should we do?"
Dong Ling walked to the defense map in two steps and stretched out his hand to point on the defense map.
"Our army is divided into two roads, Yu Yilong is separated, all the way to attack the dragon, and the dragon must be dismounted within six days; Attacking Yingshan all the way, this way you have to face the Dongting Protectorate, you can delay it for a few days, and even leave the Yingshan to the soldiers of the Dongting Protectorate. ”
Luo Xiang and Li Kun glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes.
It is understandable to capture the dragon within six days, relying on the dragon's city defense to block the soldiers of the Sanchong Protectorate. But Dong Ling's handling of Yingshan made the two of them puzzled, they could delay the day to capture Yingshan, or even not capture Yingshan, and directly leave Yingshan to the Tang Army.
Cao Hua frowned and looked at the defense map, and after a while, he reacted, this is a good plan.
Dong Ling saw that Li Kun was still puzzled, so he simply spoke
"Yingshan is close to Dongting Duhufu, the terrain is dangerous, easy to attack and difficult to defend, occupying Yingshan, but it makes our army lose the space to move and jump, leaving it to the enemy, which is equivalent to trapping the people and horses of Dongting Duhufu in Yingshan."
"A few days ago, the Tang people united with the Chu people to attack the Qi country, and the Qi country was beaten to the ground, although there were Yingte people to mediate and support it, the Qi country did not lose the country, but now it has also lost a large piece of land."
"So the Qi people must hate the Tang State now, now that our country is at war with the Tang State, the Qi people will not fail to seize this opportunity, as long as our army can block the Tang army in Yingshan for a month, the Qi army will inevitably attack the Dongting Protectorate."
Li Kun said with a cold face
"Capture Yingshan and fight the Tang army, wouldn't it be easier for the Qi army to send troops to capture the belly and back of the Tang army."
Cao Hua, who was sitting behind the handsome case, shook his head
"Although the Qi people hate the Tang State deeply, they are not fools, if our army beats the Tang State to the bust, the Qi people will definitely let go of their hatred, suppress their hatred for the time being, and will not go to war with the Tang State, after all, a strong Han State is easier than facing two Han and Tang Dynasty who are of equal strength."
Li Kun and Luo Xiang suddenly realized, it seemed to be like this.
"I ask for an order to attack Yingshan, and promise that I will not drive away the Tang army of the Dongting Protectorate, nor will I let them be defeated."
Li Kun said with great vigor that it was very challenging to not only have contacts with the Tang army, but also to attract Qi people to send troops.
Luo Xiang also stood up
"Commander, I also ask for battle, please send me Jiangzhou Guards out of Yingshan, General Zhao and I have been stationed in Jiangzhou for many years, and we are familiar with the terrain of the Tang State Shangshan Protectorate, and we will definitely be able to complete the tasks assigned by the Commander."
Dong Ling said with a smile
"The giant dragon is not easy to fight all the way, although it is to take the jade dragon, but the jade dragon city is small, and it is not easy to block the Tang army."
Luo Xuan's eyes rolled a few times, and he suddenly spoke
"Commander, then let our army capture the giant dragon and block the Tang army from the Sanchong Protectorate. When the barbarians invaded the Central Plains, they fought with the Tang army in the dragon for a month, which shows that the strength of the Tang army is still okay. ”
The two argued for a while, and finally decided on the task of attacking the Dragon Camp Mountain separately.
Dong Ling watched the backs of the two disappear at the door of the tent, untied the gauze on his head, put it on his lap, rubbed the scabbed wound, and his tone was a little tired.
"Although the shelves of the Staff Office have been erected, there are too few people who can be used, and there is no one like you who can penetrate a little."
Cao Hua continued to work on the military affairs booklet, casually putting aside a booklet requesting grain and grass, Cao Hua said with a smile
"That's not because you, General Dong's eyes are above the top, my master has appointed a lot of shrewd and capable generals and captains from the Wutang, the Northern Army, the Western Army, and the Dingxiang Guard, and you only asked for a few, and now you are complaining that no one is available."
Dong Ling said with a grin
"If you don't come, if you want to come, I can give you my place, you will be the main general, and I will be your deputy general."
Cao Hua continued to dispose of the military affairs booklet, and said without raising his head
"You have a small temple there, if you really want it, you can go to the martial arts hall, there are many talents there, just pull a few sect heads, it's enough for you."
Dong Ling's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is a method, when he goes back, he has to go to the martial arts hall a few more times, dig out some novices who can be used, and cultivate them according to his own ideas, otherwise he will die of exhaustion sooner or later.
Yanjing, post house.
Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, looked at the envoy of Qi in front of him and asked with a smile
"Your envoy wants to ask to see the prince, and please give a reason, my prince has just been stabbed by the Tang people, and he is sick and can't see guests for a long time, if there is something important, I can do it on my behalf."
"We want to unite your country and attack the Tang Kingdom."
When the envoy of Qi heard this, he looked at Qian Qianyi, his expression was not happy or angry, and he said calmly.
