Chapter 69: National Disaster
Luo Bai is gone.
"The reason why I want you to go to Abundance City is because you didn't show enough strength and potential to prove that you can be a good general. In that case, then be a good fighter. ”
"But now, since you have that potential, stay here and get systematic training, and then go to war. It is easy to get a general in the three armies, and it is more important to be a good general than to be a good soldier. That's the path you're taking, you see? ”
Back to the Firehead Army, the Slaughter Twin Knife has returned.
The tent was quiet, Luo Bai looked at the top of the tent and slowly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Mu Yichu took him to cook as usual. But outside the "Imperial Kitchen", he met Lian Chongguang.
Or rather, even Sogo has been waiting for them here.
The two hurriedly saluted, and Lian Chongguang said, "You go in first." ”
This is talking about Mu Yichu. Mu Yichu glanced at Luo Bai and walked in first.
Luo Bai was very worried now, he wondered if it was a substitute for Lu Ling. After all, he didn't do it strictly, at least the children of wealthy families in Beijing like Feng Ping must know Feng Ping, but he may not know others.
"Your Excellency."
Although Luo Bai was apprehensive, he was not ready to go to the bottom now. If this is not the case, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
But it turned out that he thought too much: "You repeat to me what you said to the statement last night." ”
Abundant City!
Luo Bai reacted immediately.
"That's all nonsense."
Even Sogo stopped him.
"Come with me."
Yes, I can't cook today.
Following Lian Chongguang to a room, Luo Bai found that this was the place where he had given a lecture before. Even the furnishings in the room have not changed, and the sand table is still standing there.
"Palm Lamp!"
The two black-armored warriors walked in, re-added two lights, and the physics suddenly brightened.
"Now, take your thoughts out of the sandbox."
Things have come to this point, it has exceeded Luo Bai's expectations, and he has no choice.
This time, he stood in front of the sand table, looking at the plains of the mountains and rivers of Daxia that were clearly marked on the sand table, and he was infinitely emotional.
If one day, he grows tall enough, he will definitely use the strength of his whole body to protect the world.
If I die peacefully, then why should I die?
Luo Bai took a deep breath, restrained his emotions, and focused his gaze on the Huai River.
The last time it was far away, he didn't see the real thing. But this time, he saw everything.
From the towns and villages by the river, to the mountains and rivers, they are all presented in front of his eyes.
Huai'an!
This is the tail of Huaishui, from here as a breakthrough, wave the army to the north, you can go straight to Fengyu City.
Then there's the sea, but there are too many places to start off on the southeast coast. But because there are too many, you can not think about his starting point, after all, his destination has been determined.
In addition, there was actually a way, but he forgot.
Repeating last night's words, Lian Chongguang said: "How did you think of these two paths? Or rather, who taught you? ”
Luo Bai was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No one taught me, I thought of it myself." ”
Even Sogo's pupils constricted, and his face was difficult to look at: "Young man, it's a good thing to have ideas, but don't compete with others, these are really what you thought of?" ”
Luo Bai had already heard something unusual, but he was surprised, was there anything wrong with thinking of this? Couldn't it be like this?
"My lord, I'm not lying. My family has taught me that it is my thing, and I will not give it to me. What is not one's own, there will be no contention. ”
Lian Chongguang stared at him Luo Bai for a long time, and finally nodded: "Then tell me, what are the two paths you think based on?" ”
Luo Bai was suddenly dumbfounded: "What do you mean?" ”
Lian Chongguang thought he didn't understand, so he explained: "That is, how did you come up with these two paths? And on what basis do they think they are feasible? ”
Luo Bai finally understood, and then said embarrassedly: "General, I can answer your first question, but I can't answer the second one." ”
"Why? Isn't that what you thought of, how could there be no way to answer? ”
Hearing that Lian Chongguang's tone was not good, Luo Bai immediately explained: "General, I have not received systematic military training, and I have only received basic combat skills training at present, not to mention any military literacy. So I don't have much to say about these two paths, after all, I didn't think much about it. ”
This explanation doesn't make sense.
If this is really the case, then Luo Bai should propose some routes that seem to lack military common sense or even impossible to achieve, but now these two paths are obviously feasible.
What does this say?
Lian Chongguang's eyes became cold.
"General, what I think of these two roads is not out of the military line, but out of the thinking of daily walking."
Just when Lian Chongguang was about to break out, Luo Bai said something that surprised Lian Chongguang.
"What do you mean?"
Luo Bai pointed to Fengyu City on the sand table, and then pointed to the Huai River, and then said: "If I go to Fengyu City from here, how can I go there when I know that it is unrealistic to cross the river?" I just look around, it can be on the sea, and it can be in places where there is no river barrier. Then I thought of these two paths. ”
It's so simple!
Even Sogo's gaze was momentarily dull.
Really, he thought that someone was supporting him, that he had overheard something that inspired him, and that it was even his only idea. But he never expected that these two paths were thought of by him in this way.
No wonder he said he couldn't answer the second question, it turned out to be so.
Lian Sogo's expression suddenly became exciting: "That's why you can't answer the second question?" ”
Luo Bai nodded.
Even Sogo finally accepted this fact, although it was unexpected. But because of this, it can prove that this may indeed be what this kid came up with.
"From now on, you can stay here and take a good look at this sand table and see if you can think of anything else. When the meal is ready, you can go. ”
"Yes!"
Even when Sogo went out, Luo Bai did break out in a cold sweat.
Because he thought of a sentence: Gong Gao Zhen Lord!
It's not because of his "high merit", but because he feels that he is too presumptuous and will inevitably become the target of public criticism.
"The famous person of the Luo family is dead!"
This sentence still lingered in his ears, and if he showed too much talent now, I am afraid he would die faster.
These were all thought of by him in Lian Chongguang's vigilance.
"Damn, I'm scared to death. That bastard in the affirmation book is really more than enough to succeed! ”
Relieving himself, he moved a chair, sat down in front of the sand table, and continued to look.
Breakfast is easy to make, but it also takes more than half an hour.
This time is enough for him to observe the sand table well.
In fact, the last time he looked at it, he remembered that he had also seen a city that could be directly connected to the city of abundance, but he couldn't remember anything. Now is the time to take a look.
His gaze followed the East China Sea and then west to Huai'an. Then go up along the Huaishui River, Chuzhou, Bengbu, Huainan, Nanyang......
When he saw a city, he would stop to look at its surroundings and then continue west.
But until he looked at it once, he didn't find a suitable place, could it be that he was wrong before?
He didn't believe in evil and looked at it again, but he still found nothing.
It was difficult for him to judge now that these coastal cities were suitable as a breakthrough point for the northern crossing.
Or he doesn't want to know, because the previous plans of the imperial court were all planned in this direction, they must think more comprehensively than themselves, why should they bother to get an axe?
He laughed to himself and refocused his gaze on Huai'an.
From here to the northwest, there are 700 miles of road, on the road is located the military town of Xuzhou City.
As for the rest of the cities, they are not important towns and can be ignored.
Looking at the eastern coast again, if as he had guessed before, the rebels in Jiangnan must have reached the mouth of the Yellow River, and they may swim upstream at any time, rush into the inland river of the Yellow River, and come to Fengyu City.
Jinan City!
This is the only city along the river that can be blocked against the current.
Seeing this, Luo Bai seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and sat down.
Xuzhou, Jinan, can they hold it?
Or is it too late?
I don't know how long it took, Yan Wenyuan walked in, woke up Luo Bai, and said with a smile: "I'll come and ask, have you seen anything after watching it for so long?" ”
Luo Bai jumped up from the chair in shock: "How do you know? ”
Yan Wenyuan smiled, but in Luo Bai's eyes, it was so terrifying.
Luo Bai swallowed and spit, barely stabilized his mind, pointed to the sand table and said, "The place is too big, I haven't seen it all." ”
Yan Wenyuan burst out laughing and invited Luo Bai out.
Leaving the room, Luo Bai came directly to the "Imperial Kitchen", where Mu Yichu was waiting for him.
But all around, he saw seven or eight black-armored warriors, standing aside and surrounding the place.
Luo Bai immediately realized that something was wrong.
Seeing Luo Bai coming, he stepped forward and grabbed him, and immediately walked out.
Luo Bai didn't ask anything, and quickly followed.
The Black-Armored Warriors didn't seem to see them and ignored them.
It wasn't until he was far away from the row of houses that Luo Bai asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Mu Yichu also said angrily: "How does Lao Tzu know? I was cooking, and I was disturbed by Yan Wenyuan's bastard the whole time, so much so that I cut my own hand. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to show him.
Luo Bai was in no mood to look at his hand, frowning and thinking about the problem.
Mu Yichu stopped: "What did the general tell you to do?" ”
After asking, without waiting for Luo Bai to answer: "Don't say what you can't say." ”
As a veteran in the army, Mu Yichu is very clear about the rules. Some things don't tell you, they protect you.
Luo Bai thought for a while and said, "It's talking about the battle in Fengyu City, it seems that the rebels are already preparing to cross the river." ”
Mu Yichu is such a smart person, as soon as he heard it, he knew that Luo Bai only said part of it.
But that's enough, because the focus of their chat is Abundance City.
"Looks like we're not going to be here for long."
Luo Bai knew what he meant.
"Master Mu, do you think it is possible for us to be sent directly to the battlefield?"
Mu Yichu shook his head and said, "That depends on the development of the situation." If the southeast side does succeed in crossing the river, you may be directly transferred to Fengyu City to assist in the defense. If the river crossing fails, it may be next year. ”
"In other words, if it's fast, it's this time. If it's slow, it's probably next year, right? ”
Mu Yichu nodded, and then smiled: "You just want to go to Fengyu City like that?" It's about fighting, not playing. ”
"When you are born to go to the country, you will not pay it back if you are uneasy in the world!"
