Qin Mo received a secret letter from the city, knocked on Li Mao's door overnight, and Lan'er rolled in the futon, Rainbow, there are you all the way

Li Mao read the secret letter and said with a smile: "How bold will a sixteen-year-old girl be, can you rely on this information?"

Qin Mo said: "Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable." ”

Li Mao said: "This woman is also brave and wise, and she intends to protect and not hurt her." ”

Qin Mo said: "Who dares to move your woman." ”

Li Mao had no intention of arguing with him and smiled. Xue Dingding was originally a card he played, a disguise, he had never seen her, and he had no intention of detaining her, but after Qin Mo mentioned this, he was very interested in it, and he really wanted to see her and see what kind of character she was.

After Jin Tiyong crossed the Yalushui, the army marched at a speed of 100 miles a day, and the left and right guards spread out 300 miles, and there were several clashes with the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Division, which was blocking the attack.

Judging from the news transmitted from the battlefield, the Silla people this time were the best of their best, and the equipment training level of the left and right guards who were responsible for the safety of the flanks was very high, and although they lacked experience, they had high morale and were brave and good at fighting, which made the 2nd Division and 1st Brigade suffer a lot.

When Li Mao summoned Jin Daoan, Zheng Xiaozhang, Wen Cheng, and Qin Mo to a meeting, he said: "The cow has entered Liaodong, how can we bring it over now, we can't lead it early, disrupt our plan, and we can't let it see the pit in front of it, refuse to come, and run away." How to grasp this heat?"

The clerk said: "Give him some sweetness first, and let him win a few battles." ”

Zheng Xiaozhang said: "It's not enough to just give sweetness, you have to stand on the fight, the cow, all have a bit of a cow temper, beaten, he holds a grudge and is irritable, so he can rush over without hesitation and fall into the pit." ”

Qin Mo said strange things: "The Silla people are sharp, this battle is not easy to fight." If you don't make it right, dig your own pit and jump by yourself. The Silla people were responsible for filling the soil. ”

The clerk said: "It is precisely because of this that we must fight early, and only by playing early can we find out the details, and only when the camera changes its strategy can we be prepared." ”

Jin Daoan concluded: "According to intelligence, Jin Tiyong suffered a lot when he was a child, and when he grew up, he was always left out in the cold and depressed for many years. He belonged to the kind of gentle, cautious, and even a little pessimistic, and he did not advocate sending troops when the court debated before Silla sent troops, and let him lead the troops into battle, which was the result of a compromise between the king of Silla and the regent, and he was a person acceptable to both parties, but in this way, he was under great pressure. This person has read a lot of military books, and it is said that he has traveled to Ziqing and Hebei, speaks fluent Chinese, and is familiar with our country's classics. If you want to hook such a person, you have to think long-term. My opinion is to fight a few battles with him, first, to test the depth of the water, second, to train the army, and third, to give him some sweetness and coax him to take the bait. You might as well fight a bigger battle, or it can be really big, don't be afraid that he will know our details, my trump card is not on the battlefield. ”

After the four of them finished expressing their opinions, they stopped talking, or drank tea or were in a daze, waiting for Li Mao's final ruling.

Li Mao stood in front of the whole map of Liaodong and pondered for a long time, and pointed out three points in one breath: "In these three places, we fought three battles with him, and after the battle, it was time to seal the plain with heavy snow, the first battle was fought well, the second battle was fought hard, and the third battle was fought casually." ”

The three places Li Mao pointed out were Danzheng Gorge and Sugar

The three battles were organized by Kim Do-an, Seok-woong, and Ma Woong-an.

Jin Daoan is old-handed, has experience in commanding large corps, is the head of the three armies, the head of the Ministry of Military Affairs, has a high position, and cooperates with Zheng Xiaozhang to mobilize resources to the greatest extent, and it is most prudent for him to organize this first battle.

Danzheng Gorge was originally known as Nameless Valley, and after Li Mao inspected the place, it was changed to its current name. The canyon runs east-west, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the superior strength of the Silla people cannot be exerted due to the restrictions of the terrain, which is conducive to the Andong army to accept it when it sees good.

In this battle, Li Mao invested one brigade of the First Division, two brigades of the Second Division, and one of the Slave Binding Army, with a total strength of 6,600 troops.

The battle began in mid-September and ended in mid-October, lasted a month, the offensive and defensive sides around the Kite Gorge within a radius of ten miles, six fierce battles, each other won and lost, in terms of personnel losses, the Andong army suffered 1,000 casualties, the Silla army was about 2,000, this battle played the momentum of the Andong army, but the lesson was more profound, like a basin of cold water poured on a group of hot-headed middle and lower-level generals, the arrogance that permeated the army before the war disappeared, and no one dared to underestimate the Silla people again.

For the Silla people, although the battle was won, it was a bit of a fire, and more than 6,000 people, relying on the advantage of the terrain, simply stopped the enemy who was ten times as strong as a month, so that the plan for a quick battle and a quick victory set before the dispatch of troops was completely aborted.

As the commander of the armies, Jin Tiyong was under tremendous pressure, not only from Jin Daoan on the front, but also from the two forces behind him. The night before the withdrawal of the Anton army, a heavy snow fell in Liaodong, which helped Jin Tiyong a lot, and he asked his old friend for many years, Pu Yiru, a staff officer of the army, to quickly write a chapter and request the withdrawal of the army, on the grounds that it was heavy snow in Liaodong and was about to seal the plain, and it was very inappropriate to march at this moment.

Park Yiru is also rough in military strategy, knowing that it is really a good strategy to march at this moment, but in the face of two pressures from the country, he is more sober than Jin Tiyong, Jin Tiyong's current situation is like being tied to the back of a tiger, it is not easy to get on the back of the tiger, it is even more difficult to get off the back of the tiger, and the two forces that support him today will "give up the previous suspicions" and join forces to strangle him, and regard him as a good medicine to resolve the crisis, but he knows that he can't persuade old friends when he says these words, so he can only delay, he is waiting for this snow, and he is also waiting for someone from the country.

On weekdays, he writes like a god, and his old friend who is quick to write and crown Silla, but this time he can't get the manuscript for a long time, which makes Jin Tiyong feel helpless, he knows the old friend's thoughts, so he doesn't urge him, he silently calculates in his heart: Sure enough, the sky is clear, the snow melts, that is, God determines that Silla has this catastrophe, and people can't fight with the sky, so he will accept his fate.

The day after the snow stopped, the sky was clear, and the sky was clear.

Jin Tiyong woke up, saw the red light on the tent, sat for a long time, and sighed at the end.

As soon as the snow stopped, the envoy from Gyeongju arrived at the camp, accompanied by a palace envoy sent by the king of Silla.

The consolation envoy brought a box of pastries, asked the marshal to enjoy them in front of him, and then sent an edict from the king of Silla urging Jin Tiyong to immediately pull out the camp and move forward, so as not to disappoint the concern of the whole country. The comforting envoy spoke very politely and looked very respectful, but Jin Tiyong felt that he had forced himself to eat a green-headed fly.

His face was a little ugly, and the muscles on his cheeks were trembling, and he couldn't hold back the anger in his chest after repeated patience.

He gently put the brocade box containing the pastry on the table, drank a sip of water and swallowed the pastry residue in his mouth, and suddenly angrily asked the comfort envoy who came from Gyeongju: "Is Liaodong City Dongzhou, and when you arrive at Liaodong City, the war in Liaodong will be over, although the terrain of Liaodong City is steep, it is only a small city, with a population of less than 10,000, less than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and the accumulated grain and grass is not enough to support the army for the winter, and the 60,000 army is stationed on the ice field, what do you let me give them to eat?"

Kim Tiyong's face turned red, and he coughed violently because of excitement, and the cakes of King Silla were crispy and sweet, sweet and greasy, and this cough choked the residue into the trachea, and the cough continued violently, and it was impossible to stop.

The comforter still has a smile on his face, but in his heart he has already looked down on the generalissimo in front of him, and he can even quarrel and cough, what is the use of such a person, he is obviously a waste.

Once he lost the minimum respect, he said with a smile: "As for why the marshal pays the army, I don't care, I just relay the king's dictation, and there is one more point, forgive me for daring to remind the generalissimo: How will you face the turbulent public opinion when you withdraw the army and return to China at this moment?"

Jin Tiyong sneered, and shouted: "The public opinion of bullshit, the public opinion is worth a few catties"

said such a rebellious thing in public, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, Park Yiru hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, claiming that Jin Tiyong was drunk, and the envoy was afraid that the matter would be too big to end, so he also opened his eyes and said nonsense to help cover it up. In the face of the angry commander of the three armies, the comfort made his heart a little frightened, judging the situation, he decided to give way, and smiled lightly: "Drink early in the morning, this is really the demeanor of a general." My mission has been accomplished, please leave here, and please stay. ”

Seeing off the two errands, Park Yiru persuaded Jin Tiyong to say: "The weather is warm this year, and the heavy snow will seal the original for a month, and now is a good time to march. ”

Jin Tiyong glared at him and said: "You also follow them to mess around, what if the army arrives in Liaodong City, once the snow seals the plain, the logistics baggage cannot be transported, and the 60,000 army will be trapped and killed on the ice field, without Li Mao to fight, we will be defeated." After saying that, he muttered: "Li Mao can rise in Liaodong, how can he be incompetent, fighting is fake, dragging is true, we will be dragged to death here." ”

By the end, the sound was low and inaudible.

Park Yiru admitted that this worry was not superfluous, but he also knew that the current withdrawal of troops could not be explained to the upper and lower levels, so he reluctantly persuaded: "The anger can not be vented, Liaodong City is four hundred miles away from Dongzhou." When we arrived, the snow would be heavy, we would not be able to forge ahead, and they would not be able to fight back, and the battle would have to wait until the beginning of spring next year. Our odds are better than theirs. ”

Jin Tiyong sneered again: "I only want to ask you, once the back grain road is blocked, what will the 60,000 army eat?"

It's definitely a big question, but Park Yiru has nothing to answer.

Jin Tiyong sulked for a while, and felt helpless, his marshal had been sent to the back of the tiger, and now it was difficult to ride a tiger, this battle won a good hundred good, defeated and died without a place to be buried, the life and death of a person does not matter, but it will affect countless relatives and old subordinates, and the entire Silla country will be affected by a civil war, and the lives will be ruined, and the country will be destroyed.

"Put it to death and live, God bless me Silla and the country will be prosperous."

Leaving him to die and come back to life, Kim Tiyong wanted to put himself in danger and force the whole country of Silla to support him. I have to say that this is a dangerous move, but it is also a good move, because neither Kim Chongxi nor Kim Yansheng can afford to lose this battle. If you lose, Silla will be ruined. Li Mao told Shi Xiong, who was about to take command, again: "This battle must hurt him and knock out the only remaining bit of sharpness in Jin Tiyong." ”

Shi Xiong had returned to Dongzhou from the front line of Liaodong City, and succeeded the sick and homesick Xue Luoke as the commander of the Third Division, and served as the commander of the former enemy's capital, commanding the nearly 10,000 Anton troops gathered in the Baishui River Valley.

The Andong Army Company Reserve Army and the People's Army were only 18,000 people, and Shi Xiong was Li Mao's full belongings.

After Li Mao handed over all his belongings to Shi Xiong, he became like a gambler. The sleep was unstable, the food was unpleasant, Qin Mo was afraid that he would hold back his illness, so he took Lan'er from the city to the Shannan command post, Lan'er only stayed for one night and went down the mountain, and said to Qin Mo when he left: "It's okay, I'm leaving, lest he say that I interfere in politics again." ”

Qin Mo sent her out, went to no one's place, and said with a smile: "The little sister-in-law is really capable, she is really a thing and a thing, no one can persuade him, as soon as you come, you will be cured of the disease." ”

Lan'er said: "If you want to talk to me, just say it, why beat around the bush, in fact, he just wants to win and is afraid of losing, human nature, I told him that I went to the temple to ask for a sign, it was signed, and he was happy." ”

Qin Mo said: "There is such a thing, doesn't he not believe in ghosts, ghosts, gods and gods?"

Lan'er said nonchalantly: "Of course, you don't need to believe it if you have no desire and no desire, can you ask him if he still has no desire and no desire." ”

The fastest, safest, and most accurate channel for the transmission of military intelligence is the Intelligence Section of the General Staff Office, and the fastest, safest, and most accurate channel for the transmission of battlefield intelligence is the Operations Section of the General Staff Office.

Qin Mo ran diligently, but Li Mao remained motionless, sitting firmly on Mount Tai, waiting for the report. In fact, his heart was more anxious than anyone else, and he was as anxious as oil, and spent three days and three nights without days and nights. Li Mao finally couldn't support it anymore and decided to take a nap, he drank a bowl of soothing soup, retreated left and right, lay down on it and began to find sleep, half an hour passed, and finally felt a little sleepy, but Qin Mo kicked in the door.

"When the fight started, the strikers exchanged fire with the Silla people."

The word "firefight" came out of Li Mao's mouth, and some people may not understand its meaning, but Qin Mo understands the subtlety of the word.

"How is the battle going?"

Li Mao stared at Qin Mo with a pair of blood-red eyes, Qin Mo shook his head: "I just started fighting, I don't know the result." ”

"I, You"

Li Mao waved his fist and wanted to punch Qin Mo, but when he saw his haggard face and bloodshot eyes, he finally held back again, he turned around and slept with his head covered.

"You can still sleep at this time, I really convinced you."

Qin Mo muttered and walked out, how could Li Mao sleep, he couldn't wait to fly to the Baishui River Valley with his wings and see with his own eyes this battle that would determine the fate of Liaodong.

But he can only endure it, battlefield competition is not his forte, commanding 10,000 people to fight a decisive battle with the Silla people in the river valley, not he can do it, he prides himself on being the commander of the generals, not the generals of the generals, if he goes to the front line, but let the commanding generals be tied, delay the fighters, and lead to the defeat of the battlefield.

The ruler is long, the inch is short, how can there be an almighty person in the world, fighting a war is to kill people, many people die, you can't help but pretend to understand, Li Mao can convince his reason, but he can't extinguish his hot heart.

This kind of waiting is really devastating and makes him miserable.
