Chapter 159: Two Letters
Di Yi didn't stay long, he met with some of the meritorious soldiers of the Jin army in Yanlin, and after having dinner with the generals in the evening, he was going to leave with people early the next morning.
Now that Ji Linbing ordered the Zhou army in Tuxian County to give up attacking Yanlin and allocate most of his troops to other attack points of the Zhou army, the already grim situation of the Quliang defense line of the Jin army has become more difficult.
Di Yi took people out of Liangshui County, the temporary command of the Quliang defense line, and commended the Yanlin Jin army just for a casual time, in fact, its main purpose was to inspect the troops of the defense line and boost morale.
Five miles outside the camp
Swinging back left and right, Di Yi called Qin Qi and Yan Kui, who were sending each other, and the three of them rode in parallel, while walking, Di Yi gave a speech to explain the military orders of Qin Qi and the others.
"Now that the Zhou army in Tuxian County has just withdrawn, the situation in Yanlin is not completely stable, so what Peng Shuai and I mean, the two of you will still lead your troops to garrison Yanlin in a short period of time to prevent the Zhou army from counterattacking."
"Di Shuai, the main force of the Zhou army has left, and the troops of Tuxian are weak, can we turn defense into attack and recapture Tuxian."
Although he understood that Di Yi and them were thinking about the overall situation of the entire anti-Zhou Dynasty, as the main general, Qin Qi still had the heart to lead his soldiers to make meritorious contributions and fight for a future.
When Di Yi heard this, he frowned slightly, then shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to counterattack, what you have to do now is to cooperate with General Guan Shuai's Mansion to formulate a hundred miles of defense line tasks and firmly hold Yanlin."
Remember, now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, without the orders of the Shuai Mansion and Peng Shuai, you must not act rashly, if you destroy the overall situation of the imperial court, I will not be able to protect you. ”
…………
Di Yi's expression was solemn when he said this, and his tone was extremely stern, which startled Qin Qi and responded.
"The last general understands that he will act in accordance with the orders of the commander."
Seeing that Qin Qi was honest, Di Yi's face softened a little, thinking that Qin Qi was also his cronies, and he had made many contributions recently, fighting for him a lot of face, Di Yi felt that he was not good at criticizing him too much.
So, with a reassuring mentality, Di Yi looked around, and rarely said a few words to his confidant.
"I know you want to contribute to the imperial court, but don't worry, this time you have made a lot of contributions in Yanlin, and Peng Shuai and I will remember it.
Now that the situation in Yanlin is still unclear, it really needs you to be in charge, and it is just for you to take this opportunity to rest and recuperate.
Rest assured, at the moment, the two armies are at war, and there are beacons everywhere, are you afraid that you won't find a chance to fight? When Yan Lin's side is completely secured, the Shuai Mansion will never throw you two cadres and tens of thousands of soldiers here in vain.
According to my estimates, it is estimated that in two to three months at most, or even shorter, the marshal's government will send the dispatch order, and then you will not be able to push it back even if you want to. ”
Di Yi's words were very earnest, and Qin Qi's mind settled down.
"With your words, the last general will rest assured, the last general is stupid, he won't say anything else, just know one sentence, as long as you speak, Yanlin's 20,000 soldiers will be on fire and sea."
…………
Qin Qi's words were undoubtedly showing loyalty to Di Yi, and Yan Kui behind him had a wide field of vision, and he obviously saw that Di Dashuai's eyes had become more and more gentle, he patted Qin Qi on the shoulder, and said loudly.
"Gao Yan (Qin Qi's character), work hard, this is a good opportunity, save more credit, in the future, you won't be able to promote to the third grade, and the hope of fighting an earl is not small."
Saying that, Di Yi ignored Qin Qi, who was happy, turned his head to look at Yan Kui, and smiled slightly: "Your matter was told to me by Gao Yan, and Ben Shuai agreed." ”
Yan Kui knew that Di Yi was talking about Huang Wei'er's fate, and hurriedly responded with his fists clenched: "Thank you Di Shuai for your success." ”
Di Yi nodded, probably really optimistic about Yan Kui, this Di Shuai, who has always been silent, couldn't help but warn Yan Kui twice: "Although the family affairs are heavy, but you must not waste military affairs, men are the pillars of the family, you do a good job on the front line, the backyard is naturally stable, the five orders are just the starting point, with your ability, the future Mrs. Hou Mansion may not be able to ask for it." ”
Yan Kui looked happy and convinced: "The last general has been taught." ”
"Well, you don't need a heavy hammer to ring the drum, you can assist Gao Yan well, wait with peace of mind, and I will use you more in the future."
Di Yi shook the horsewhip in his hand, and said something meaningful.
Qin Qi and Yan Kui glanced at each other and said in unison, "The last general is waiting for your general order in Yanlin." ”
…………
After appeasing the two cadres under his command, Di Yi led the people away with a satisfied mood, leaving Qin Qi and Yan Kui to watch side by side.
"General, what did Di Shuai's last sentence mean? Is it our next move against Zhou Jun? ”
Watching Di Yi walk away, Yan Kui finally didn't suppress the doubts in his heart and asked Qin Qi.
"I don't know."
Qin Qi shook his head: "I'm in Yanlin, I only know the innocuous gossip, the real military secrets can't be inquired about, forget it, this is not something we can worry about, how to decide on it, how we can fight, why do you care so much." ”
"Yes."
Yan Kui smiled, his current status could not affect the decision-making level of the Jin Army, so he could only act according to orders, and no matter how handsome he was, it would not help.
After sending Di Yi away, Yan Kui's military camp life began to become regular.
As the deputy general of the first army, although Yan Kui did not have to personally lead troops to inspect the border and reconnoiter the enemy, he was also assigned by Qin Qi to rebuild the two camps of Tushan and Valley, and at the same time, Yan Kui was also responsible for training new soldiers.
Speaking of which, he also asked for it, in order to recruit system soldiers, Yan Kui set himself a character who was good at training.
Now it's okay, Qin Qi directly threw the five thousand recruits he had just recruited to him, and Yan Kui, who was full of expectations, trained an elite for himself.
……………
Isn't this embarrassing for Yan Kui, how can he train soldiers.
But there is no endless road, fortunately, among these 5,000 recruits, there are 2,000 system soldiers who Yan Kui has mixed in, with the old and the new, how much can he fool around, it's really not good, Yan Kui still has a talent for muscles and bones in the end.
On the grounds that the 3,000 recruits are not suitable for their own training methods, no one can pick out any of them, after all, no one dares to train a group of recruits to be 100% elite.
Yan Kui has the two thousand "elite" who have been trained with one hand, and no one can say that he is a deceitful, at most he can say that his retro talent in military training is too high and too strict.
Even Yan Kui estimated that no one would say anything sour even about these words, and five thousand recruits trained two thousand elites in a few months, which was so amazing in the eyes of experts who knew the military.
What's wrong with the harsh conditions, it's good to be able to train the elite, if you don't accept it, don't force it behind your back, you can also train two thousand elites to try............
Three days later, on the seventh day of October in the fourteenth year of Liyang
Yan Kui, who was supervising the construction of the Tushan camp, received two letters, one before and one after.
The former is about the intelligence of the Zhou army in Tuxian County, and the depressed Suo Ya asked Ji Linbing several times to go to the rear to recuperate because he was unwilling to stay in the sad place of Tuxian County.
After all, Suo Ya is the backbone of the royalist party, and he is the wife and nephew of Ji Linbing, he has written again and again, and King Li can't be indifferent, plus Suo Ya did not perform well in the battle of Yanlin, so let him retreat to the rear, and he can also avoid the limelight.
As a result, Suo Ya withdrew to the rear as he wished, and the post of the Zhou army guard in Tuxian County, which he had temporarily held, was also succeeded by Wen Pai, a five-rank miscellaneous general sent by Ji Linbing.
And this newly appointed General Wen. It seems that he is not willing to honestly lead troops to defend Tu County, and on the first day of his tenure, he thought about rectifying the sluggish morale of the Zhou army, and at the same time sent many groups of scouts to haunt near Yanlin.
This information in Yan Kui's hand was sent to Yan Kui after Qin Qi got it, and it is said to come from the Northern Jin Dynasty Royal Intelligence Agency Long Xiao School.
Therefore, Qin Qi asked Yan Kui to be careful to guard against this newcomer Wen Xun in case the other party sneaked up.
…………
"Wen Xian? The prince of Changji Hou of the Western Zhou Dynasty, abandoned literature and martial arts, rose from seven to five in three years, and his achievements were mediocre, this is an out-and-out gilded party. ”
Yan Kui flipped through the resume of the dispatch sent with this information, and complained softly in his mouth.
I have to say that although Long Xiaoxiao has a bad reputation within the Northern Jin Dynasty, its intelligence ability is really good, and Wen Xian has just taken the position, so he has collected the other party's resume information here, although it is not much, but it is also very helpful for Yan Kui, these front-line generals to analyze the situation of the opponent's enemy generals, and then respond to the battle according to it.
Wen Xian was not very conspicuous in the Western Zhou military before, so the information that Long Xiao had about him was not very detailed, but the most critical points were there.
On the bright side, this General Wen or Wen Shizi is completely a noble son who relies on his family background to mix his qualifications in the army, his ability is mediocre, he has no merits, and he doesn't need to take it to heart at all.
However, out of caution, Yan Kui didn't dare to underestimate the enemy too much, after all, if this Wen faction was really the kind of waste that couldn't be beaten with eight poles, he would not be sent by Ji Linbing to take charge of an army alone.
Although the importance of the Zhou army in Tuxian County has dropped significantly, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Wen Pai can sit in the position of its main general, even if his ability is not as good as Suo Ya, Zhu Changsheng and others, but it will never be too bad.
The art of war is cloudy, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, if you underestimate the other party, you will suffer a big loss.........
Thinking of this, Yan Kui gathered his mind and called the cattle exhibition that accompanied him to Tushan, and asked him to add a few more posts outside the camp, and at the same time, strengthen the vigilance inside and outside the camp.
After instructing Niu Zhan, Yan Kui wrote another letter to himself, asking the guards to take it to the Jin generals who were in charge of guarding the camp in the valley, and asked him to be careful of the sneak attack of the Zhou army.
After disposing of these military affairs, Yan Kui opened the second letter, which was sent from Qingyuan on the dark web, and reported Huang Weier's recent condition.
