ps: There is another chapter in the evening. )
The battle outside the Daimyo Castle has been over for two days, and for the past two days, compared to the hustle and bustle of the day of the Great War, the inside and outside of the Daimyo Castle have been extremely quiet. After a big battle, both the two kings alliance army outside the city and the southern army inside the city were a little tired, and many wounded needed to be settled. Both sides tacitly stopped their movements. Of course, this kind of suspension can only be superficial, and inside, what actions the two sides have made, at least the other side does not know.
In the Daimyo Castle, after the Great War, Qin Cheng summoned all the generals to the big tent of the Chinese army and made many summaries of the battle the day before. Gongsun Ao did not participate in the battle of the day, but he took the initiative to participate in the military summary, originally Qincheng had almost reduced Gongsun Ao's wings, and a battle outside the city could be regarded as establishing his own prestige, and Gongsun Ao seemed insignificant. But Gongsun Ao himself ran to attend this meeting, and Qin Cheng didn't bother to say anything, but the difference between him coming and not coming was not much different.
After the meeting, the generals of each army and department asked for instructions on the next action arrangements, and Qin Cheng only instructed each team to prepare for the defense of the city step by step. The day before yesterday, there was a battle with the two kings coalition army, but it was not able to defeat it, and if you want to fight again, you may not be able to bargain much, Wu Huaisu, the military advisor of the two kings coalition army, is indeed not a vegetarian.
And once the battle outside the city cannot be won, it can only retreat to the second best thing to defend the city, but in this way, it is inevitable that the daimyo castle will suffer.
In the afternoon sunshine, in many parts of the castle near the castle walls, countless men and soldiers were working in full swing, sweating profusely, and piles of earth were dug out of the ground and transported to other places, and logs were transported underground. As the works progressed, underground passages were excavated.
Qin Cheng and Liu Mu walked from a distance, and the Xuanjia on their bodies flashed with a beating light. At the time of the Great War, there was no place inside and outside the Daimyo Castle that was not in a tense atmosphere, but these construction sites were operating as usual, and they were not affected by the earth-shaking battles outside the castle.
"Wu Huaisu, the rebel military advisor, is known as a hero by Liu An, proficient in the art of war, talented, the day before yesterday, if it weren't for Li Yannian's advice, you and I may not be able to win the final draw, and his people should not be underestimated." Qin Cheng said as he walked, "If you can make Wu Huaisu disappear, the rebels don't have to worry." ”
"In the past two days, all kinds of information about Wu Huaisu have come one after another, but in addition to the life of his character, there is very little useful information, and it is really not an easy task to prescribe the right medicine to knock Wu Huaisu down." Liu Mu frowned lightly, and carefully sorted out the information in his mind, "This person is from an old scholar clan in Huainan Country, he is taught by a famous teacher when he is a child, he can speak at the age of one, he can write poetry at the age of five, and he knows the soldier at the age of ten. Before the crown, he was hired by Liu An to the palace, and he relied on a lot of things. Over the years, Wu Huaisu has been helping Liu An to govern the army, so the rebels can have today's combat effectiveness. Now that the military of the alliance of the two kings is almost tied to him alone, Liu An attaches great importance to his thoughtfulness, almost no less than himself, and it is not possible to take his head among the 100,000 troops. ”
"Assassination can't come to the table after all." Qin Cheng smiled indifferently, "If you want to defeat Wu Huaisu, why do you need to act like such a villain?" It's enough to be bright on the battlefield, is it possible that I'm still afraid of him? ”
Liu Mu smiled when he heard this: "Since I knew you, I have never seen you attach so much importance to an opponent, and I have never seen any opponent bring you so much trouble, it seems that this Wu Huaisu is indeed worthy of his reputation." ”
"So what?" Qin Cheng raised his eyebrows and pointed to the construction site that was under intense construction, "As long as my tunnel is dug through, am I afraid that he Wu Huaisu will not be recruited obediently?" ”
Liu Mu groaned slightly, a hint of brilliance flashed in his eyes, as if he really had some confidence in the current tunnel, and said: "The most important thing at the moment is not to let the rebels see the clues, so I must take sufficient cover." ”
"Of course." Qin Cheng said, and then changed his words, "If nothing else, the rebels will attack the city tomorrow." The rebels came all the way to victory, captured countless siege equipment, and the rebels were frustrated in the previous Japanese battle, Wu Huaisu must do his best to attack the city, and the pressure to defend the city is very great! ”
Saying that, Qin Cheng raised his head, looked at the sky, and sighed a little, "If Dou Fei's house is here, I won't have the slightest pressure." This guy was defeated in Panyu City with more than 10,000 remnants of South Vietnam, and he simply blocked Yu Shan's tens of thousands of troops outside the city for half a month, which was really a rare talent for defending the city. ”
"The rebels came all the way from Huainan to victory, the number of troops swelled sharply, and the forced conscription of people halfway was innumerable, and now the rebels are attacking the city, although the southern army still has 70,000 soldiers to defend the city after the first battle the day before yesterday, but compared to the year when South Vietnam faced the attack of tens of thousands of Yu Shan's army with more than 10,000 remnants, the situation is not much more unfavorable!" Liu Mu said solemnly, "Do you have a way to deal with it?" ”
"What's so hard to deal with?" Qin Cheng said without pressure, "No matter how many rebels there are, there may be more than 100,000 troops head-to-head with the Southern Army, no more than twice the number, am I still afraid that he will not succeed?" ”
"It's not difficult to defend the Daimyo, but if you want to choose the opportunity to counterattack and win, how many southern troops can you spend on the city walls these days?" Yanagi reminded.
Qin Cheng smiled slightly, and said confidently: "The matter of defending the city is not only a matter of you and me, rather than you and I frowning here, it is better to find a wonderful person to discuss together, how about it?" After speaking, he saw that Liu Mu was a little puzzled, so he said: "Don't forget, I also have an injured military advisor sacrificial wine." ”
"You said Li Yannian?" Liu Mu was surprised, "He's Gongsun Ao's person!" ”
Qin Cheng raised his feet and strode forward, and said, "He was indeed Gongsun Ao's person before, but now...... It should be more accurate to say that he is a person from the Southern Army. People have been injured for the advice of the Southern Army, shouldn't you and I go to visit? ”
...................................................................
Since Li Yannian was appointed as a military advisor for the sake of wine in Qincheng's battle, it was naturally impossible for him to recuperate with ordinary sergeants, but there was a special tent to set up, not far from the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Yannian, why do you say you are doing this? was originally a well-intentioned suggestion, but you were stopped from the three armies, and you had to hurt yourself to give you a chance to speak...... How can the body be so badly violated by the parents who receive it? This Qin Cheng is really unreasonable, he actually treats you like this, when I think of you by my side, even if I am not a thousand times, I have never let you suffer so much! Qin Cheng is dissatisfied with me, he can vent to me, I didn't expect this guy to be so villainous, so embarrassed for you...... It hurts me! ”
Li Yannian was on the couch for half a trip, his face was slightly pale, and his eyebrows were a little impatient. Beside him, Gongsun Ao was crying out for him bitterly.
Li Yannian didn't speak, and Gongsun Ao kept talking to himself, for fear that the words he had thought out in advance would not be poured out at this time.
"This time, you offered a plan to break the rebel array, save the army from danger, and kill the rebels and return with such a great achievement, don't you think it's strange that the guy in Qincheng actually gave you a position of military advisor sacrificing wine? Yes, you're weird, I'm weird! Why did Qin Cheng behave like this? Tell you, he wants to take your military exploits for himself! If not, the great war is over, has he ever come to visit you? Yannian, I really don't feel worthy of you ......"
Gongsun Ao kept talking, Li Yannian didn't react, but his brows furrowed slightly, and the irritability in his eyes became heavier and heavier.
"General Gongsun!" Li Yannian had to interrupt Gongsun Ao, who was performing unemotionally, his voice was cold, he glanced at Gongsun Ao lightly, and said calmly: "The general came today, could it be that he just wants to talk to him?" ”
"......" Gongsun Ao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and rubbed his hands embarrassedly, after all, arranging people behind his back can never be said to be above board. The reason why he came to tell Li Yannian this time was nothing more than seeing that Qin Cheng had already let Li Yannian receive the position of military advisor sacrificial wine, and he was anxious, worried that Li Yannian would be poached by Qin Cheng. You must know that in the Southern Army, there has always been no military advisor, and it is only possible to be temporarily appointed when going to war, although there is not much actual rank, but the actual power, especially in the decision-making of military operations, is often under one person and above ten thousand people. Now there is no military advisor in the Southern Army, only Li Yannian is a military advisor sacrificial wine, and its status can be imagined. Of course, Gongsun Aoren is not stupid, he has already seen that Qin Cheng attaches great importance to Li Yannian, if Qin Cheng digs Li Yannian away from him, the consequences will be unimaginable, and he can't wait to run over to sow discord at the moment, and say some words against his will, just to prevent Li Yannian from being successfully won over by Qin Cheng.
"You suffered this disaster for Your Majesty, for the Han Sheji, for the Southern Army, I am very worried in my heart, and this time I came here, mainly to visit you. These words by the way are just personal words between you and me, but they are also my heartfelt words to you, and I hope you will consider it. Gongsun Ao said.
"The general has the grace of knowing me, if there is no general, Yannian is just a waste person who can't even take care of his own mother, and the general's words should be remembered in the future." Li Yannian closed his eyes and took a breath, and when he opened his eyes, he looked directly at Gongsun Ao and asked, "What does the general mean, what do you want me to do?" ”
Gongsun Ao didn't expect Li Yannian to say these heartwarming words to him at this time, and his heart was suddenly excited, and he hurriedly said: "Leave Qincheng, don't give him any more advice!" After speaking, Gongsun Ao realized that his words were a little inappropriate, so he added: "Qin Cheng is a villain, and he is proud of his achievements, and he is not worthy of Mr. Saddle the horse for him!" ”
"If you are not arrogant, if there is no Li Mou, Qincheng will be defeated, what should you do below?" Li Yannian continued to ask.
"The Southern Army is not the only general in Qincheng!" Gongsun Ao paused word by word, staring at Li Yannian, his demeanor almost didn't say that what he wanted was this effect, if not, where would I go?
"I see." Li Yan exhaled a long breath and slowly closed his eyes.
Gongsun Ao saw that Li Yannian's face was tired, and his goal for today had been achieved, so he got up and said goodbye, "Mr. is resting, I take my leave." ”
After taking two steps, Gongsun Ao was still not at ease, turned around and said: "Mr. is a masterpiece, a certain pair of gentlemen's hearts, the sun and the moon can be seen!" ”
................................................................
As soon as Gongsun Ao left with his front foot, Qin Cheng and Liu Mu stepped into Li Yannian's tent with his back foot.
Signaling that Li Yannian didn't need to be polite, Qin Cheng sat down beside Li Yannian and said with concern: "I will hear from the medical officer that Mr. did not hurt his lungs, but he just lost too much blood and needed to recuperate before he could recover." Mr. will admire his courage, and Mr. will also admire his loyalty. I didn't know Mr. before, so much so, Ben will feel guilty, and I don't dare to hope that Mr. will not blame! ”
"The general is serious." Li Yannian said, "It's just a small number of people down there, and it shouldn't be said by the general." ”
Qin Cheng lowered his head and groaned slightly, and suddenly said when he looked up: "This general wants to worship Mr. as a military advisor, and together with this general, he will reject the rebels, and return the Han to peace as soon as possible, I don't know what Mr. wants?" ”
"What?!" Li Yannian was shocked in his heart and looked at Qin Cheng in disbelief.
"The day before yesterday, the rebel army was broken, and Mr. was the first merit, and the general had already reported to His Majesty. Ben Jiang didn't know Mr.'s talent before, and now I hope that Mr. will ignore the past suspicions and focus on the overall situation, as for Ben Jiang's disrespect to Mr., I hope Mr. can tolerate this account in the future, and then Ben will guarantee that he will not fight back and scold and not return the mouth! Qin Cheng said loudly, his eyes firm.
Liu Mu stood aside, and the old god was there.
Li Yannian didn't know what to say for a while.
Qin Cheng took a seal from Liu Mu's hand, handed it to the stunned Li Yannian with both hands, and said: "Wu Huaisu, the rebel military advisor, has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and all the dispatches are from him, because there are rebels who have been invincible all the way. Today, I confer the position of Mr. of the Southern Army, because I hope that Mr. can dispatch the Southern Army and break the myth of Wu Huaisu's invincibility! ”
Li Yannian did not reach out to take the seal.
Qin Cheng saw Li Yannian's hesitation, and explained with a smile: "Before the expedition, His Majesty gave me the right to temporarily arbitrarily cut first and then play. ”
"How can the general not be admired for being so open-minded? Li is dressed in white, dare not to die for his life? Li Yannian took the seal and bowed deeply.
After speaking, he bowed to the west from afar, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”
Qin Cheng helped Li Yannian up and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Mr. is injured and can't drink, otherwise I would have to get drunk with Mr. ”
Li Yannian said with a smile: "The eldest husband should drink when he drinks, why are you afraid of some skin trauma?" If the general is willing to appreciate his face, he will drink a bottle with him! ”
"Good!" Qin Cheng laughed, "Then a bottle?" ”
"Just a bottle?"
"Haha......"
..............................................................
Coming out of Li Yannian's tent, it was already a sparse moon.
After traveling far, Liu Mu asked Qin Cheng curiously: "Do you really dare to give half of the dispatch power of the Southern Army to Li Yannian?" ”
"What do you say?" Qin Cheng asked with a smile.
"You gave someone the position of military advisor and gave the seal, that's a real power." Willow Road.
"The military orders of the Southern Army cannot come from the mouths of two people, but can only come from the hands of one person. And that person can only be General Ben. Qin Cheng said, "If Li Yannian wants to dispatch the Southern Army, can he not go through my consent?" If I don't agree, I'll ask him to change the order. If so, it won't work...... Naturally, I have the final say. ”
"Isn't your behavior today a recipe? In the future, if Li Yannian sees that you don't trust him, won't he be cold? ”
"No, the reason why I conferred on him the position of military advisor today is because of my trust in him. If his future decisions are correct, you and I will naturally be able to see that I will be able to evaluate them together, and I will naturally not embarrass him, and he will not feel that I have too many restrictions on him. That's the trust I put in him. If he doesn't have this ability, and the decisions he proposes are often denied by you and me, it will be a waste of my trust in him, so what about taking back the position of military advisor? Qin Cheng said in a deep voice, and when he saw Liu Mu nodding as if he didn't understand, he continued: "There is no doubt about employing people, this is a good thing to say, but there has never been an employment without supervision in this world. For those who are employed, there is no doubt about employing people, it is just their wishful thinking, and that's it. ”
“...... I see. Liu Mu bowed his head slowly.
.................
A day later, the combined forces of the two kings attacked Daimyo Castle.
The fighting was fierce.
At that time, the commander and dispatch of the whole army on the wall of the famous city, in addition to Qin Cheng, who was dressed in red robes and black armor, there was also Li Yannian in a green shirt.
One article and one martial arts, and also literature and martial arts, complement each other.
And Gongsun Ao, but he didn't know where to borrow wine to kill his sorrows, and he was drunk like mud.
It was at this time, three thousand miles away from the Daimyo City, in the Monan grassland, that the Han cavalry and the Xiongnu cavalry were ending a major battle.
Le Yi, commander of the Eastern Route Army of the Han Army of the Northern Expedition, commanded 24,000 hussars, 8,000 Shuofang Tiger Iron Cavalry, and 50,000 Northern Army elite cavalry, and more than 200,000 troops led by Yi Zhixian, fought fiercely for a day on the Qianli grassland outside Gaoque Pass, and at dusk the two armies collected their troops and retreated 15 miles each.
At the same time, Li Guang, the commander of the Western Route Army of the Han Army of the Northern Expedition, led 20,000 elite cavalry of the Guanxi Army and 70,000 elite cavalry of the Northern Army, and more than 100,000 Xiongnu troops led by Zhao Xin, the second king of the Xiongnu, to exhibit on the front line in Hexi
