Chapter 178 • Planning

Chenxi quietly opened her lazy eyes in the gradually dissipating wind and snow, glanced at the snow-capped land of Dingzhou, and hid in the clouds again, as if she couldn't stand the biting cold, and wrapped herself tightly.

Gu Liangchen's army had been staying here for a few days, and three miles away from the opposite side was the camp of the Humeng people, and the soldiers on both sides looked at each other, glaring at each other through gritted teeth, but no one could help anyone.

At this time, an urgent report was put on the table of Gu Liangchen's handsome account, the seal had been opened, and behind the table, Gu Liangchen propped his head on the armrest of the seat with his right hand, pressed his temple one by one, occasionally coughed violently a few times, and shook the letter paper on his left hand up and down.

The cheeks, which were sickly rosy because of the violent coughing, were engraved with indescribable sorrow, and only a few words were written on the letter in his hand, "Xing'an has fallen!" ”

The most worrying thing happened after all, the land of Dingzhou, its value is not only that it belongs to Yan Guo, but more importantly, Yan Guo also has an extremely important financial source here, that is, Golden Town, not to mention anything else, just because it will pay one-seventh of the national financial revenue to the treasury of Yan every year, so that Gu Liangchen, or the entire Yan country, is very important.

But now, the strategic intentions of the Humeng people have been clearly placed in front of everyone's eyes, with Xiema Town, Liangcheng, and Xing'an as the encirclement, Xiping and Jinjin Town are completely cut off from the territory of Yan, cutting off the possibility of Yan's reinforcements going north to reinforce, and then the next step is to storm Xiping, as long as Xiping is taken, Jinjin Town is like an island hanging overseas, and in the absence of any supplies, sooner or later it will become Humeng's bag.

As for Mo Lan, Gu Liangchen could only smile bitterly and shook his head, under the front of the Hu Meng people, if he Mo Lan did not know how to send troops to assist Hu Meng in attacking Yan Kingdom, he would be thankful, as for providing supplies for Golden Town, it was unthinkable.

"It seems that the taxes of Golden Town have not been paid this year, but it is tens of millions of taels of silver." Gu Liangchen thought with some pain, he was really unwilling to let the Humeng people go like this.

"Gu Shuai, the commander of the Jingyue Army outside the tent, General Gouyue, please meet." A voice sounded outside the tent, interrupting the melancholy.

Hearing this, Gu Liangchen stuffed the letter back into the envelope, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to the outside of the tent: "Come in." ”

As soon as the words fell, a young general dressed in general armor lifted the curtain and walked in briskly from outside the tent, the military uniforms and armor of Jingyue and other places are slightly different from the style of the Yan army in other places, probably because the land south of the Yangtze River is the richest place in the country, whether it is the armor of ordinary soldiers in Jingyue and the armor of generals, it is much more expensive than the armor of other armies of Yan State, and the color of military uniforms in Jingyue and Yue is generally blue, but Jingzhou is light blue, and Yuezhou is the difference between dark blue.

Gou Yuezhi, who entered the tent, raised his hand very respectfully and took off the helmet on his head, held it in his hand, put it on his waist, and then bowed: "The last general Gou Yuezhi has seen Gu Shuai." ”

"Virtuous nephew exempt from courtesy" Gu Liangchen walked out from behind the handsome case and helped up Gou Yuezhi, who bowed down, because Gu Liangchen had a friendship with Gou Yuezhi's father, that is, Gou Yuecuo, the king of Jingyue, so when there was no one, he called Gou Yuezhi by the title of virtuous nephew.

"There's something going on on the other side of the Humeng

Finish? "Gu Liangchen doesn't have any extra thoughts and Gou Yuezhi's routine now, monitoring the movement of the Humeng camp opposite, he has already handed it over to Gou Yuezhi when the army has just arrived here, so when he saw him report at this time, he naturally thought that the other party had some movement.

But seeing Gou Yuezhi, he shook his head and said: "Gu Shuai, the last general has a guess in his heart, and after thinking about it, he thinks that it is a big matter, so he specially came to discuss with Gu Shuai." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Gu Liangchen brought a chair for Gou Yuezhi, motioned for the other party to sit down, and then walked back to sit behind the handsome case under Gou Yuezhi's gaze.

Gou Yuezhi didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "The last general thinks that the Humeng people are stationed here, and they don't mean to set the water, if it is Dingshui, why would they stop the army here, instead of besieging Dingshui, so the last general judged that their goal is Xiping, or Xing'an, and their real intention is the golden town on the golden road, because ......." ”

Before Gou Yuezhi finished speaking, Gu Liangchen waved his hand and interrupted his speech, "What the virtuous nephew expected, it has already become a fact. ”

As he spoke, he handed the urgent report on the table to Gou Yuezhi, and after the latter read it, he also looked at Gu Liangchen with a shocked face, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"This is also just received! To be honest, I was worried about this before this, so after you arrived in Dingping, I just let you and the Jingyue army under your command take a little rest, and then sent troops north in a hurry, but unfortunately it was still a step too late. ”

Gu Liangchen sighed, only felt an itch in his throat, and coughed violently again, this time it seemed to be even more powerful than before, and the veins on his fiery red cheeks were already bulging, but he didn't mean to stop.

Seeing this, Gou Yuezhi hurriedly stepped forward and patted Gu Liangchen on the back to help the other party smooth his breath, and a faint golden light slowly flowed into Gu Liangchen's body from his palm, and after a while, he helped the other party stop coughing.

Gou Yuezhi frowned deeply, although he was not a doctor, but when he was transporting the extreme martial breath to Gu Liangchen's body just now, he could clearly feel that the meridians in the other party's body had been blocked in many places, this kind of problem can be big or small, but it needs to be meditated and recuperated in order to be alleviated, so he couldn't help but persuade out loud: "Gu Shuai, you can't work like this anymore, your body needs to be meditated and regulated." ”

"It's okay, it's all old problems, it used to be like this, in winter, when I encountered a little cold and cold, I coughed badly, I have asked the military doctor to get me medicine, and I will be fine after drinking the medicine." Gu Liangchen shook his head indifferently, and as the blood on his face receded, a weak and pale face appeared.

Gou Yuezhi saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh softly, all he could do was to persuade him, which was out of his respect for Gu Liangchen, these old generals.

"Come, just as you came, let's discuss the next plan of action, now that the strategic intentions of the Humon people have jumped on paper, how do you think we should deal with it in order to relieve the siege of Golden Town?" Gu Liangchen said, came to the side of the military map in the tent, and drew on it with his hand, roughly indicating the strategic layout of the Humeng people and the situation of his own Yan army.

Gou Yuezhi looked at the map and pondered for a long time, then said: "Since the Humeng people have laid out such a big game of chess, then the Humeng people must have heavy troops on the front line of Xing'an, Liangcheng, and Xiema

With a breakthrough, even if it is a breakthrough, it is impossible to make effective progress, so the last general thinks that we can take the opportunity to concentrate our forces to attack Yunzhong, and from Dingping to Yunzhong, we only need to go down the Zimu River, and hit him by surprise. ”

Gu Liangchen frowned and thought for a long time, then nodded: "Reasonable, who can be in this position?" ”

For Yunzhong, Gu Liangchen's heart has an unspeakable sense of loss, when he led the troops to the Dingzhou border, he had sworn to Yan Hu to make a promise to recapture Yunzhong in one fell swoop, but the result was that he led tens of thousands of troops to attack for a long time, and when Humeng reinforcements arrived, he had to give up more than 10,000 soldiers to fight to the death, so as to preserve the vitality of the main army.

So this time, when Gou Yuezhi mentioned Yunzhong as the starting target again, Gu Liangchen was worried in his heart, but when he saw the other party's confident appearance, he somewhat regained some confidence in his heart.

"If Gu Shuai can be trusted, the last general is willing to lead the troops there." Gou Yuezhi hugged his fists and bowed, if this battle is accurate, it will be his debut in Dingzhou, so he has this confidence, and he must have this confidence, and he must have this confidence to fight this beautiful battle to show his strength.

Gu Liangchen nodded, but Yunzhong was just a part that was insignificant to the overall situation, and whether he could take it or not, it didn't have much impact on the battle situation in Dingzhou, it just made the Yan army's record in Dingzhou look better, so he thought hard and looked for a way to break the situation.

"If we win it in the clouds, what will we do?" After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have a clue, Gu Liangchen still wanted to hear if the other party had a plan in his heart.

Gou Yuezhi nodded, he was waiting for the other party to ask this question, so he said: "The situation in Dingzhou is like an iron bucket, if you want to break the situation, you can only jump out of Dingzhou and find another way." ”

Gu Liangchen's expression flashed with a hint of shock, but he was a commander of one side, after decades of wind and rain, his heart had been tempered to be very old, this trace of shock was only fleeting, difficult to detect, he followed Gou Yuezhi's gaze, and saw that he was staring at the vast grassland north of Dingzhou.

Yes! Hu Meng's army is now all in Dingzhou, its internal defense must be empty, if at this time there is a Yan State surprise army, suddenly appear in Hu Meng's territory, turn it upside down, then Dingzhou's Hu Meng army can no longer be like this, unscrupulously attack the Yan army, and at that time, as long as the Hu Meng people are sharp, the formation is chaotic, it is the day of the Yan army's counteroffensive.

Gou Yuezhi obviously also saw it in the other party's eyes, and added: "Since the Humeng people were able to take Yunzhong by surprise without knowing it, then we will definitely be able to find this secret way, and use the other way to return the other's body." ”

Gu Liangchen smiled with relief, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, he was really old, and he no longer had the adventurous spirit he had when he was young, and all he wanted to look at was something that followed the rules.

"It's just that this strange army must be an elite cavalry that moves like the wind, and the number should not be too large, nor too little, for a while, where to find such an elite army is the top priority." Gou Yuezhi frowned again, although this plan is good, but without this elite cavalry, it is equivalent to empty talk.

How do you know that Gu Liangchen laughed, he already had a plan in his heart about the question of Gou Yuezhi, waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about the selection of candidates who go deep into Humeng's interior, now you only need to take Yunzhong in one fell swoop, and the rest of the matter will be covered by Ben Shuai." ”
