Chapter 193: Imprisoned Dragon Scheme
"Mr. Luo, of course, there is deception, after the Liang army arrived at the Yongxing River, the 500,000 allied forces of the three countries reversed the offensive and defensive momentum, forming our attack and defense of the enemy, not to mention that our army occupied Ruitian, the black turban traitors could not hold on to the west bank, and the 500,000 troops of the three armies had a numerical advantage, and the black turban army could not help but consider temporarily avoiding the edge."
"Wei Xianfeng really thinks so?"
Luo Songting asked rhetorically, Bai Liyan knew what he wanted to say, it was nothing more than to say that the Three Kingdoms Alliance had its own ghosts and could not fight together.
But Bai Liyan (also Wei Xian) knew that the Liang army came to the expedition and had its inevitable motivation to fight for the Xian State.
Second, the Liang army has almost no combat experience, and it is very necessary to sharpen the army through battles, even if it will not give ten percent of its strength, seventy percent of its strength should always be out, and it will never occupy the pit like this to the Jin State without, and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight to pick up cheap.
Therefore, if you want to say that the Three Kingdoms have ghost fetus, it can only be said that the Jin State is pregnant with a ghost fetus, and the Liang State is still reliable.
"Mr. Luo, since the Liang army has come all the way to help in the war, although it will not go all out, it can at least free up 100,000 people for the Xian army, and with these 100,000 people in Ruitian, the Black Turban Army consumes it every day, and it can't afford it. As long as you are not careful, you can be killed by Zhao Shuai and turned on your back. ”
"Then Wei Xianfeng is not worried that the Black Turban Army will kill him with evil magic?"
"Well...... this"
Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) was noncommittal, at least he didn't believe that the Black Turban Army could have any black technology at this time.
The oil is used, the calcium carbide is there, and the snow is falling, is it possible that there is still some evil black technology that will wipe out the 500,000 army?
"Mr. Luo, let's wait for two more days, and after our scouts return, we will make a long-term plan. Now that he has no clue to scratch around, the last general really can't say why. ”
"That being the case, then Luo will leave."
Luo Songting left in arrears, and Bailiyan's original sleepiness disappeared at this time.
"Evil arts, evil arts, Luo Songting's judgment may not be wrong, this matter really has to be careful."
Based on the information from all parties and the information captured by the Black Turban Army, the Black Turban Army confronting each other on the west bank of the Yongxing River had three Heavenly Kings and an unknown number of Heavenly Masters in charge. In addition to the coach Shengyan Heavenly King, there are also Thunder Heavenly Kings and Divine Power Heavenly Kings.
The set of Shengyan Heavenly King arson can be regarded as seen, the Thunder Heavenly King is the culprit who ambushed Lu Ji, and the Divine Power Heavenly King should be a ruthless character who can cover the sky with one hand from the perspective of his name, otherwise he cannot be named "Divine Power".
The Black Turban Army took the initiative to retreat without waiting for the Liang Army to arrive on the banks of the Yongxing River, which was obviously a planned strategic retreat, and indeed as Luo Songting said, there was a possibility of luring the enemy to go deeper.
But the coalition army has 500,000 people, Wei Han's 100,000 Jin army is not counted, and the Xian army and Liang army still have 400,000, so it is not easy to annihilate 400,000, unless the Black Turban Army can still conjure up hundreds of thousands of troops out of thin air to attack the coalition army from the flank.
The day after the Black Turban Army retreated, scouts came one after another to report that the Black Turban Army had retreated to thirty miles west of the Yongxing River, and had no intention of setting up camp, and there were signs of continuing to go west.
A few days later, the Black Turban Army retreated to the Great Plain, one hundred and twenty miles northwest of the Yongxing River, and camped.
The Great Plain is located in the southeast of Tiancheng 80 miles, Yongxing is 120 miles northwest, the plain terrain, because the southwest of Tiancheng is rich in lychees, and has the reputation of the sea of lychees, so it is named Taoli.
The Taoli Plain is open on all sides and there is no danger to defend, all of them are farmland and wasteland, the motive of the Black Turban Army to retreat to Taoli is unknown, Zhao Xun summoned all the generals above the governor of the whole army to discuss the military aircraft, and did not dare to cross the river easily.
The main force of the Liang army arrived 20 miles west of the city of Chenling on the 7th day of November, and when it was heard that the Black Turban Army had retreated to Tiancheng, the Liang army did not advance westward and camped on the spot.
At this point, Bailiyan suddenly realized that the Liang army's expedition had a bottom line, and the Black Turban Army obviously knew this bottom line. Taking the initiative to retract is to make it difficult for the Xian army to stand independent, and it is unable to fight the Black Turban Army head-on on the plain alone.
At this time, Bai Liyan finally understood Uncle Guang's true intention of dragging the main force of the Black Turban Army in Xianguo.
As long as the bottom line of the Liang army is not lost, it doesn't matter if the entire west of the Yongxing River becomes scorched earth. If the Black Turban Army continues to confront each other on the banks of the Yongxing River, the result can only be to provoke the Liang Army to go to Hedong and join forces with the Xian Army to drive the Black Turban Army away and provide a buffer zone. Rather than being tough with the coalition forces, it is better to retreat strategically.
Jiang's father and son went to Zhao Xun's camp and did not return, and Bai Liyan found Luo Songting's camp alone and asked him for advice.
"Mr. Luo, the sudden withdrawal of the Black Turban Army now seems to have been done on purpose."
"Yes, the Liang army really didn't go all out to plan for the bloody battle of our Xianguo, and it is really unbelievable that the Black Turban Army was able to know the Liang army's intentions in advance and take the initiative to withdraw."
"What Mr. Luo said is extremely true, the Black Turban Army must have infiltrated the Liang Kingdom, otherwise it would not have withdrawn in such a timely manner."
The Black Turban Army tacitly evacuated, ruling out that there was an internal ghost within the Liang State or the Chengdao faction, or it was deliberately leaked to make the Black Turban Army retreat, so that a bloody battle could be avoided, and then both sides had a step down.
Just as the two were talking, Wang Jiu suddenly came:
"Mr. Luo, the lord has returned to the camp."
As he spoke, Wang Jiu's eyes swept over Baili Yan, and he didn't say anything else. Luo Songting noticed something was wrong, but he didn't know the inside story, so he said quietly:
"Let's go and talk in the Lord's account."
Luo Songting and Wang Jiu rushed to Jiang Min's tent, and Hu Mo had already arrived first, but Jiang Qian was missing. Luo Songting saw that Jiang Min's face was unhappy, and asked carefully:
"Lord, where is the young master?"
"Qian'er Feng led the guards to Chenling."
"Go to Chenling!" Luo Songting was surprised and asked, "Is it what King Xian meant?" ”
"Yes and no. The Liang army stopped after arriving at the Lingling, and according to the custom, the Xian army should send an envoy to the Liang army to facilitate the communication and guidance of the two armies. ”
"Didn't the young master go to Chenling to serve as a strategic envoy? This should be a good thing, why is the lord unhappy. ”
"Songting, you don't know, the Guangxin Army selected two people, and the other person is Wei Xian."
"Him!"
Luo Songting thought of Jiang Min's displeasure in a blink of an eye, it must be because Wei Xian has shallow qualifications and is a humble general, and he can't be up to this position, so Hu Mo should be allowed to fill this position. But in Luo Songting's view, Zhao Xun also intended to promote Wei Xian, which is understandable.
Thinking of this, Luo Songting said carefully:
"Lord, most of this matter is Zhao Xun's intention to promote Wei Xian, and I heard that Wei Xian had diagnosed with Ji Kang, the son of An Taihou, and had the grace of saving his life, Zhao Xun arranged it like this, it should be Zhao Xun has other considerations, this is the blessing of the lord."
"Alas......" Jiang Min sighed for a while: "Zhao Xun has been estranged from Gu Yin recently, and Gu is worried about changes in the inner dynasty." ”
"Is the lord worried that King Xian will reuse Zhao Xun for important positions?"
"Yes, if Zhao Xun is used by King Xian, then Gu will not lift a stone and hit Gu's feet."
"Zhao Xun is already a doctor of the Department of Counsel, and at most he is promoted to Shangqing and Fengjun, unless he can expel the Black Turban Army from Xianguo and make great achievements, he can be crowned a marquis and a duke.
The important positions such as the Great Sima, the Taiwei, and the Xiangguo were all held by the Inner Dynasty, and whoever was deposed from the official position would inevitably be infighting. Taiwei Ding Yang Marquis is the cousin-in-law of King Xian, King Xian cannot cut off his arm, Da Sima Jiang Yan is Jiang Hai's uncle, Muyang Cang's matter, he can't escape the involvement, if you want to stop, it is also Jiang Yan's official position.
As for Xiangguo Gongsun Yue, there are a wide range of interests involved behind it, and there are even Queen Mother, Guo Pan and others. If it weren't for the New Deal, Xianguo would not have provoked a popular uprising, let alone Muyangcang. And now is by no means the best time to depose Gongsun Yue, the mess of the new policy, in the end, Gongsun Yue will still bear all the responsibility, and now deposing him is tantamount to the lifeblood of the palace Xianguo.
In the next thought, if the war situation can be stabilized, King Xian is very likely to depose Jiang Yan and appoint Zhao Xun as the post of Great Sima, so that the military power is still firmly in the hands of the Taiwei Ding Yang Marquis.
Although the Marquis of Ding Yang is useless, he is very obedient, and the King of Xian takes him as a lieutenant, so he can firmly control the military power, and continue to erect Zhao Xun at the same time, but he can also use Zhao Xun to command the enemy. ”
"What Lone is worried about is this, if Zhao Xun turns his face and betrays Lone, won't King Xian be the next one to clean up."
"The lord has made great contributions to the country and the people, and before the situation in the Central Plains is settled, King Xian will never pose a threat to the lord."
"What about after the Central Plains Dading? Will King Xian do it? ”
"This ...... Available Wei Xian. ”
"Zhao Xun entrusted him with the intention of transferring him out of Guangxin, so as to prepare in advance for the future with Lonely, why does Mr. Luo still use him?"
"Dare to ask the lord, what does the lord think of Wei Xian's talent?"
"Self-esteem is rare in the world."
"That being the case, the lord should firmly tie Wei Xian to the lord's use, and then use Wei Xian to balance Zhao Xun."
"Wei Xian was originally a guest of Zhao Xun, and Lone had neglected him at the beginning, he must have a grudge, how could he be used by Lone to contain Zhao Xun."
"There is a plan in the next place, which can make Wei Xian use the lord in this life, and Zhao Xun will never be unfavorable to the lord."
Hearing this, Jiang Min hesitated:
"What is Songting's plan?"
"Zhao Xun has a lot of understanding of this person, Luo Mou, he is upright and trustworthy, as long as the lord keeps his duty, even if Zhao Xun holds great power, he will never risk war and become the enemy of the lord."
"So what."
"Wei Xian and Zhao Xun have the grace of tribulation, if there was no battle in Jiangdong back then, Zhao Xun would not have today's status. Wei Xian is also Zhao Xun's doorman, as long as Wei Xian stays in Guangxin for one day, he is the lord's general, and Zhao Xun can also grasp the news of Guangxin through Wei Xian at all times.
But in order for Wei Xian to be used by the lord, the lord must give up a treasure before he can accept his heart and use his energy. ”
"Treasures? As long as there is one, what does it matter if it is given to him? Jiang Min swore and said, thinking that the gold and silver treasures were nothing but things outside his body, as long as Bailiyan opened his mouth, there would be no more.
Luo Songting lowered his voice at this time, approached Jiang Min and said:
"Wei Xian has not yet married a wife, and the county lord is at a good age, why doesn't the lord take the county lord Xu Wei Xian as the main room and accept him as his son-in-law, so wouldn't Wei Xian be firmly tied to the lord's side before and after the saddle."
"Hiss......" Jiang Min was silent, scratched his head again, and his heart was complicated and noncommittal: "But Rong'er, she is a lonely heart, how can she marry a white-bodied disguis......
"My lord, this matter should be decided, and it must not be delayed. After today, Wei Xian will go to the post of Chenling, if Zhao Xun recommended to the King of Xian, and the King of Xian gave him a marriage, then Wei Xian can become the blade of the King of Xian in the Guangxin Army, and then he will be appointed as the Sima of the Guangxin City Mansion, and the lord will have a future in the future. ”
"This ...... Rong Gu think about it......"
Wang Jiu and Hu Mo's faces were pale at this time, and they stared at Luo Songting with frowns tightly locked, although the two of them did not speak, their faces had already shown their attitude.
