As soon as Zhu Wenwen returned to the Northern Plains, he skillfully passed on the news he had learned to the people in the military government.

She was sure that Di Atian was by no means scheming, let alone a gaffe, but was conveying the news that Dongxia was supposed to deliver, and after analyzing it, she would also be able to understand it, because if it was Dongxia Tongguò normal channels to ask the imperial court: "It's not that I don't cooperate with you to fight, but to paralyze the Tuoba clan together, and when you and the Tuoba clan are in full swing, we will copy the back road of the Tuoba clan and perish it in one fell swoop." ”

The court will definitely be suspicious, thinking that this is Dongxia stealing and cheating, and Dongxia does not say it, while doing it, it attracts the interpretation of the court dignitaries, but it is easy to be understood.

Whether this is the case or not, Zhu Wenwen didn't have the heart to verify it.

For her, the upcoming lucrative benefits are closely related to her relationship with the military.

If she can judge the situation in Dongxia correctly with the attitude of a senior adviser, she will undoubtedly win the respect and recognition of senior military officials.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to Beizhou, Tao Kan made a special visit and asked for advice.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Wenwen proposed to let Zhu Chang follow him to the battlefield and prepare and expand the ranch by picking up and exchanging the spoils of war.

not only agreed, but was willing to take care of him more often, and even introduced important ministers to Zhu Wenwen's cronies, Yang Du...... This made Zhu Chang ecstatic.

A gentleman, who goes to the battlefield as a detached person, justifiably buys the generals, and only picks up the bargain without taking responsibility, and the emperor's son may not have this convenience.

Once the war is over and the generals are all famous, Zhu Chang is not their guest of honor?

Just relying on the people I know, how can they not be rampant?

It's just that Zhu Wenwen is still a little uneasy, so his uncle and Zhu Chang not only made up for their evil but also repeatedly advised: "If the war is won, the court will worry about not being able to digest slaves and war horses, you are going to spend money, don't care about the gains and losses of money, don't be proud of your quarrels, as long as you can make friends with many heroes in the army, you will definitely be able to achieve great things." After buying 10,000 slaves, we will have the reality of 10,000 families by virtue of our acquisition of the land enclosed by the ranch, and if we buy 100,000 slaves, we will not only dominate Beizhou, but also be able to make a profit of one million......"

Taukan also thinks he has a very strategic piece of information.

Although he thinks that this is Zhu Wen's analysis, he feels that it is valuable and possible.

Who is not selfish?

Everyone will have it, Dongxia must be selfish, he doesn't want to waste his strength, and he wants the imperial court to attract the main force of the Tuoba clan to fight, but he can't force it; However, the Eastern Xia had a certain degree of selfishness and reasonableness, which did not prevent them from playing a meaningful role as allies of the imperial court, as long as they abided by the covenant, they were on the same front, and in the front of the imperial court to attract the main force of the Tuoba clan, the Eastern Xia cut off its retreat, messed up its rear, and forced it to fight a decisive battle, which was once and for all.

This trick is also the most in line with Diao's character and military style.

Instead of forcing him to fight, but he can't control his autonomy, he is in a hurry, and he turns his face, which is not good for the court, it is better for the two sides to have a tacit understanding and play a double reed, which should urge him to go to war and continue to urge, let him continue to refuse, and even turn his face, knowing that the Tuoba clan is careless...... Make him a wonder soldier.

Despite the risks, the great benefits made him involuntarily, and he wrote his analysis into the fold, making a request: "The court can hold his wife to protect this qiē, and ask the eldest princess to return to the court to visit her parents, and ask his eldest son to be a proton, and urge him violently." ”

The song folded in front of Qin Gang, and Qin Gang also thought hard all night.

For Qin Gang, this is also a great temptation, if he really wants to attack the city and pull out the ground, regardless of the annual expenses, casualties, and the Tuoba clan's war is unfavorable, wrapping up the people, and retreating to the grassland, the court still does not lose the border, what can I do? Once you are constantly harassed, how can you talk about pacifying Damian in your lifetime?

Good for the imperial court.

From another angle, it is also beneficial to Dongxia.

He hit it with one blow, and the gain was huge, and he could take the Northland as much as he could...... On the basis of facts, the current strategy of Dia Bird analyzed is reliable.

Moreover, Qin Gang thought that he had a certain understanding of Dia Bird.

You say that he is treacherous and true, and he has never dared to do anything that resists the will of the people of the Mandate of Heaven, and he has insisted on many things, so did he abandon his previous insistence?

It is true that he can resist the imperial court even in the Chen Dynasty, but where are his vested interests?

With his character, he will suddenly turn his face and turn around and attack the court? Ignoring the righteousness of the monarch and the minister? No.

Qin Gang thought so, pushed back the early dynasty early in the morning, gathered a few advisers, and slowly confided this idea, like a conjecture, because Dia Niao did not formally propose it to the imperial court.

After another day of conspiracy, Qin Gang made a decision and announced: "I have a strong premonition that the king of Eastern Xia does have this strategic intention, I don't know why he didn't play Chen in private, just do it and don't say it, but sure, he won't send troops." Because of one of his Majesty's visits before he was ordained, he pointed out on the map that he was going to lead a cavalry as the eastern front of the imperial court to threaten the rear of the Chen state, and at that time he may have deliberately let me let him return to China, and did it deliberately, but so far, he has had many small problems, but he has never deviated from this strategy at that time. ”

He concluded: "The main battlefield is already here. When we regain lost territory, do we want the enemy's main force to fight to the death with Dongxia? It was unrealistic to hope for this, maybe Dia Bird was afraid that he would be suspected of avoiding the real and attacking the false, so his preservation strength would become a criticism, so he kept silent. So in any case, this risk is worth taking, and it is much more meaningful to finish the battle than to let the tiger return to the mountain. ”

There were also voices of opposition among the ministers, but how to restrain Dia Bird and how to make him follow the strategy of the imperial court were at a loss.

How did they refute the emperor?

So, they were silent.

Finally, they demanded: "As His Majesty said, do your best to make her hostage." ”

Qin Gang hesitated for a moment.

Although Tao Kan mentioned that he was hostage to his wife, and also talked about the fact that Dia Bird's eldest son should be held hostage to the country for the crime of murder, he still thought that it would be too much, especially for fear that Dia Bird would be willing to hostage his wife, which would make the Tuoba clan suspicious and destroy the strategic layout.

But he didn't know that at this moment, Tao Kan had already made a move.

Di Bao made a mistake and wanted to send the quality, but there were still two voices in the country, and many people built yì to send it to Gao Xian, because Dongxia sent troops with the imperial court and did not owe the imperial court, but beware of Gao Xian in the rear. Besides, in their opinion, Gao Xian is close, and Di Bao is sent over, close to home.

Diao put things on hold and sent Dibao to the Northern Plains first.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, he asked Di Bao to go to Beizhou instead of himself to visit his Ashitian Yanfeng, for his own filial piety, because there were many gifts carried, the wind leaked, Tao Kan asked the convoy to be detained, detained, in the name of staying in Beizhou, in fact, Tao Kan thought that this was Dia Bird in disguise to send hostages to the imperial court to reassure, it was a tacit understanding, simply bring it when he led the troops to the west, and sent it to Changyue.

Qin Gang was still hesitating, but the hostages had already arrived......

Because he did not prepare the Dongxia Palace, Qin Gang remembered that Di A's family was in Changyue's old mansion, so he simply asked General Liu to vacate it for Di Bao to live, and reserved a place in the official school in the capital for him to go to school as a courtesy.

At this time, the Dia Bird Man was already in Baolan, and seemed to know nothing.

Baolan New Town was built at the foot of Tuoba Mountain above the Amma River, and the reason why it was built above the river, rather than at the back of the river, seemed to be lonely, but in fact firmly suppressed the upper reaches of the Amma River and formed a deterrent to Liu Yu...... Moreover, the threat from the west was cut off, and the enemy in the west was rejected by the Amama River, and this high river land was the first to bear the burden. Therefore, the northwest is the famous quicksand desert, and the northeast river has a large amount of fertile soil, which is used for the garrison, because the Eastern Xia opened one trunk canal after another, and it is already fertile and fertile land at this time.

At the beginning, it was the party who placed the most people here, but later the people of Dingxia and the two prefectures saw that the main canal had been opened, and the fertile fields were everywhere, and they couldn't help but take the initiative to ask for migration, and even the fugitive slaves in the Central Plains, the small tribes on the grassland, that was one after another, checking the household registration, and there were 100,000 households.

They became a part of the trade routes of the Central Plains, Ding, Xia and Eastern Xia, farming, doing business, living and working in peace and contentment, and also provided a huge supporting role for Baolan New Town, not only to build a heroic city, but also to provide thousands of soldiers, so that the Baolan city wall is ironclad.

When Dia Bird arrived, the "war" began.

In the desert in the northwest, a Dongxia army went deep alone, and the scout soldiers of an arrow were the first to find the enemy, and they quickly arranged a defensive position according to the terrain, except for a third of the people who refused to defend it, and reserved water and dry firewood, four or five horse teams of seven or eight people per share were pulled out, and while the enemy was not firmly footed, there was no time to react, and began to bluff and gain an in-depth understanding of the enemy's situation, and four soldiers began to run back, they found a high ground three miles behind their defensive position, and two soldiers climbed up, The other two soldiers galloped towards the main unit with flags and MI boxes on their backs.

The enemy was still roaming in search of a suitable place to be stationed, but the Arrow Scout had already made a splash among their small forces, lighting fires, making smoke, kicking up dust, and killing the opposing rangers, marking deep into the woods and approaching the water source for visual inspection.

The enemy wants to surround them.

But they were like fleas in the cracks of their fingers, flickering east and west, so that the enemy did not know the truth and reality, and the enemy was also a general, and soon understood that they were not deterred by a group of scouts, so that all the troops were stationed on the spot...... And found the foothold of this scout, and began to attack the small defensive position, but because the defensive position was properly arranged, there were many crossbow arrows, and it was difficult to succeed for a while.

It was just getting dark, and the virtual scouts began to set off fireworks to relay messages to the rear......

Two soldiers on the heights began to visually record. The enemy generals had an ominous premonition and urgently mobilized their troops, but it was too late, and the Eastern Xia army took advantage of the night to come up on all fronts, and a major battle broke out.

At dawn, the Eastern Xia army almost completely annihilated the enemy's advance, but they only then found that the enemy's central army was approaching, seemingly boundless, several times their own, so the army began to withdraw in an orderly manner, and the enemy was unwilling to destroy the advance and began to pursue......

Almost pursued to the foot of Baolan City, a small army lurking in the dense forest rushed into the enemy's tent and captured all the enemy generals.

These "captives" were escorted to Diao.

In Dia Bird's sneer, one general after another was extremely ashamed.

As the marshal of this army, Bo Dalu roared even more and said, "This doesn't count. Our army did not spread out at all, they set off fireworks everywhere like fleas, because we didn't really fight because it wasn't a real enemy...... It's taking advantage of the chaos. Take advantage of the chaos. No one has fought like this. Did the two armies go to war? Is there a decent fight? It's not that our Baolan's army can't do it, but this battle is fake, otherwise, with their hairy children, with the martial arts of me and my guards, they won't be able to get out? ”

Di Axiao sighed and said softly: "If you lose, you lose, what is there to say?" An army of tens of thousands is inferior to an army of several thousand, what else is there to say? ”

As the commander, Wu Ban was silent.

Zhao Guo began to praise the soldiers who escorted the generals of the enemy army: "Ah. You eagles flying behind martial arts have defeated Bo Dalu, the eagle flying in front, which is amazing. Can you tell me, who discovered Bo Dalu's Chinese army? The eaglets' eyes are bright. Who found out? ”

"Xu Xin, it's Xu Xin."

A shy young sergeant was arched out.

Dia Niao was taken aback, Xu Xin was Di Xiaohu, that is, Xu Xiaohu's name, his godson.

Dia Niao pulled Zhao Guo over, stepped forward, and asked, "You answered Gu, how did you find out?" ”

Xu Xiaohu said: "Intuitively. At night, after we finished the battle, we found the enemy's Chinese army at dawn, and before being ordered to lurk, we ran through the battlefield on horseback, and only found a few highlands suitable for commanding operations, some of these highlands were large and some were small, but General Flying Eagle led tens of thousands of horses, according to the system, roughly calculated the number of his guards and the number of his troops, and felt that there were only two places that could be stationed, but these two places, one in the center and one in the front, I think, with the character of General Flying Eagle, he must have put his line in front of the one, so he inserted it. ”

Xu Xiaohu is a very honest child.

Although he is like his bandit father, he is very stocky, he is also very studious, and his personality is particularly shy, so when he was a child, his adoptive mother Yang Xiaoling said that he would let him learn literature and let the fierce dog practice martial arts.

Unexpectedly, this time's table xiàn surprised Diao, and he asked rhetorically: "Bo Dalu." Did you hear that? It's not an accident, maybe you're really brave, but if you're on a real battlefield, don't you think the lurking centaurs are the best of the best? ”

What Dia Bird said, Bo Dalu didn't dare to refute, only snorted heavily.

Dia Dog is still young, he came to play around, showed his head, gave Xu Xiaohu a grimace, and lurked out.

Diao then comforted Bo Dalu and said: "But don't be unconvinced, this is not someone else's army, it is a new army created by one person, if you can't win you, isn't it a toss for nothing?" Wu Ban brought in the fireworks summons, which was also unexpected by you, right? Don't lose face, if you lose, train well, learn more from Confucian generals like Wu Ban, dare to say, Bo Dalu, the people around you are afraid that they will not close their eyes overnight. I don't know if Gu is right, not for anything else, you can't study well, your Chinese army is a bit far away, and you have taken a detour. Give you a few thousand cavalry, you may be better than anyone else, give you tens of thousands of cavalry, you just can't command a little, be convinced. Have you eaten? ”

Bo Dalu said strongly: "Eat." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach "gurgled", and he heard it vividly in the quiet tent.

In an instant, Di Axiao and the others all burst into laughter.

Bo Dalu had no choice but to admit: "This is not a matter of arithmetic, the front army is under attack, the army is advancing at full speed, and there is no dry food at all...... They can't eat, and I, as a general, am hungry. ”

Diao smiled and asked with a catch: "Then let me ask you, your front army is cavalry, and the middle army is cavalry, did you deliberately miss the distance of nearly a night when marching?" ”

Bo Dalu was silent.

Dia Bird said: "It doesn't matter if the distance is one night, the striker was surrounded and annihilated overnight, and you didn't expect it, but the key is, do you really rely on arithmetic to make the distance?" Your Chinese army has been on the road all night, the enemy cavalry has retreated, you still have to chase, your infantry and cavalry are chasing the enemy, the formation will inevitably be scattered, and you will not eat or sleep, and you can catch up with the cavalry? Or do you think the enemy won't turn back and attack? He asked in turn: "Didn't you be reminded of your enlistment?" You didn't ask them about the distance and the amount of time? To say that you are not good at learning is to save face for you. ”

He said coldly: "Do you know why Wu Ban left a small army to lurk? It is to cooperate with the cavalry to turn back and attack you. You know what he did when he retreated back to the city, to open up the time difference for rest and dinner. Doubling the number of troops, your army occupies an absolute numerical advantage, and you don't plan to leave reserves, new troops, I can't understand how you fought so many years of battles? You're going to charge with two or three thousand cavalry? Lone knows that you are wronged, you may think that the war has not officially started, the former army is gone, and the king is watching, I must not lose such a. So you take the risk and want the army to chase down the city and besiege it, so you don't leave any reserves, right? You think again, the enemy has not eaten all night, and he can't counterattack, and when the city is surrounded, at least his face looks better. But did you forget the time difference? On the battlefield, you don't expect that it will be the lives of thousands of people, not to please Lone. ”

Bo Dalu opened his mouth and didn't say a word.

Diao said again: "You still want to say, you also want to take the lead, the striker is far away, and the combat effectiveness is not bad, if it is a real battlefield, it may not be able to withstand it, this is an accident, right?" But do you know that your striker hasn't scouted the terrain in advance, and he's still looking for campsites all over the world? You're based in Baolan, and your striker will have to go around. How dare you use him? What is his merit, you answer me, what do you use him? ”

Bo Dalu muffled and said, "Brave." Forward, brave generals can take the lead, I have assigned him several to join the army. ”

Dia Bird nodded at him, smiled bitterly and said, "You." You're right, if it's a war with a rabble, they're probably going to go head-to-head. ”

Bo Dalu said helplessly: "I don't know what happened to him? ”

Zhao Guo was more concerned and asked, "Who is the general?" ”

Bo Dalu sighed and said, "Mu Erhu." It was recommended to me by Ah Xiao, I think he is strange and brave, and he has some prestige on weekdays. And before the battle, he promised me that he would listen to the advice of joining the army. ”

Di Axiao hurriedly lowered his head and pretended not to know.

Dia Bird was surprised and said: "If it is him, then he needs to praise him, he can still see through the bluff, and set up camp along the way, and the various departments are also orderly, and the place is also suitable." It is indeed a lot of progress. ”

Zhao Guo said, "Yes." Shibei looked at each other for three days. ”

After speaking, he found that Wu Ban's expression was so unnatural, and asked in surprise*, "What's wrong?" Am I not right? You don't know, he didn't know how to fight before, and he didn't learn yet. ”

Wu Ban was uncomfortable. Seeing this, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" You don't believe it? ”

Di Axiao said angrily: "It's not that he doesn't believe it. He can't believe it, he can't believe that my sister is such a thief, how can he teach you to read. ”

Zhao Guo was surprised, and asked rhetorically: "What did she teach me?" ”

A little soldier of martial arts couldn't help it and reminded, "Teacher." It's not about eyebrows, it's about looking at each other. ”

Zhao Guo let out an "ah" and said, "Impressive." Shave your eyebrows. Impressed. Shave your eyebrows. yes. It should be impressive. Wrong. Ah Tian She said......" He slowly blushed and said, "Ah Tian she, alas. ”
