Pang Yuqin nodded: "Xianggong has always studied medical skills, and this leading army to fight is also a recent thing, and the chronic disease of our army is not formed in a day or two, and it is intertwined, causing a hair to move the whole body, so we must be cautious." Otherwise, the prime minister went to ask those famous generals who led the troops well, and asked them for advice on how to lead the army and govern the army, maybe it would be inspiring. ”

It was really a word to wake up the person in the dream, Du Wenhao nodded again and again: "You are right!" I, a layman, must ask for advice from an insider, and I can't be self-righteous and messy. I have many famous generals, but who can lead the troops well? ”

"I often hear Xianggong say how powerful the Yang family is, why don't you ask them for advice?"

"That's right! Yang Jiajiang! That's right! I have long said that I was going to visit Tianbo Yang Mansion, but I was just admiring, but now I have a request. Good. Early tomorrow morning, I will visit Tianbo Yang Mansion! - Or my wife Lan Xinhui, I thought of this idea as soon as I thought about it, but I couldn't think of it for my husband's wooden fish head. ”

Pang Yuqin smiled: "Xianggong is confused with these complicated things, I can't think of it for a while, I have heard Xianggong talk about the Yang family, even if the concubine doesn't say it, Xianggong will think of it." ”

Du Wenhao hugged her and pressed her on the bed: "Hehe, Xianggong, I only want my wife ...... at this time" said as he went to untie her dress.

Pang Yuqin hurriedly reached out and grabbed her hand: "Xianggong......, don't!" ”

"What's wrong? Isn't it your turn to sleep tonight? ”

"Well, it's just ......, the concubine seems to be ......, and it seems to be pregnant with ...... again"

"Really?" Du Wenhao was pleasantly surprised, "I'll take a look!" ”

grabbed her hand and checked the pulse, and suddenly her eyebrows danced: "Haha, it's really again!" Or my Yuqin is amazing! In a row! This time you have to take good care of it, and you can't leave it down again! ”

Pang Yuqin was infinitely shy, and nodded lightly in his arms: "The concubine also thinks the same, although it is okay to have sex in the first few months, but it is better to be very careful." Now that the husband has a wife and three concubines, but no one is pregnant with a child, the continuation of the incense has been settled early, and everyone is at ease. ”

Du Wenhao kissed her, and said with a smile: "This is excusable, you are pregnant, Qingdai has reached childbearing age, but her three-year filial piety period has not expired, and she has not yet had sex with her, and there is no way, Li'er and Fei'er are younger than you, only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they are not yet mature, and in a few years, they will definitely be pregnant." ”

"Well, it's just that the concubine is the original match, and she should be the first to renew the incense to the prime minister, so that I can live in peace."

And so it is. It's good to be pregnant now. Hehe, let me hear if it's a son or a daughter! With that, he lifted Pang Yuqin's shirt and put his ear on her snow-white lower abdomen.

Pang Yuqin burst out laughing: "It's only been two months, so you can hear it!" ”

Du Wenhao didn't know, but he just couldn't help but feel the joy of being a father. hugged her and said, "If you don't do it, you will sleep here tonight, and I will sleep with you in my arms." I want to kiss you! ”

Although Pang Yuqin and Du Wenhao have been married for a year, they are still shy and nodded lightly after listening to their husband's love words.

The two turned off the lights and went to bed, this strong affection, although it was not **, but it had a special interest.

In the early morning of the next day, Du Wenhao practiced swordsmanship with Lin Qingdai as usual, and in the past three days, under Lin Qingdai's careful guidance, he had completely learned this set of swordsmanship, and he was just a matter of time to hone it.

After eating in the morning, Pang Yuqin had already prepared a generous gift for Du Wenhao, let the servants carry it, and followed Du Wenhao to Tianbo Yang Mansion to visit.

Du Wenhao was about to go out with the escort team, and he came at a gallop, but it was the messenger of Sanya. The report said that the Western Expeditionary Army had deployed Lu Gongshu, the deputy capital had deployed Qu Zhen, and the supervising army Li Xian was waiting in the front division of the Sanya Imperial Palace.

Du Wenhao, as the envoy of the Western Expeditionary Army and the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, had to put forward a battle plan for the Western Expedition, and give face-to-face instructions to the front-line commanders. In case of emergency, the edict must be issued to leave Beijing on the same day. There is no delay in this. Du Wenhao decided to deal with this matter first.

He led the escort to the front of the temple.

When the three men saw him come in, they all stood up and saluted together. Du Wenhao hurriedly returned the salute and sat in the center. He didn't know any of these three people, but Lu Gongshu and Li Xian were acquaintances, Li Xian had served as a border army supervisor many times, and had also served as an envoy to Xihe, and was transferred to Jingyuan and Xihe Lanhui to pacify and control the envoy. Due to the failure of the battle, he was removed back to the capital as a Xuanqing envoy. So I know the general Qu Zhen, but it's just a nodding friendship. Qu Zhen has been leading troops to fight on the border of Western Xia, and he is only the deputy governor, so naturally he has no chance to get acquainted with the powerful minister Lu Gongshu of the court. So the two don't know each other.

At that moment, the three of them introduced themselves. Du Wenhao also introduced himself. It's another polite remark like giving up your hands, looking up for a long time, looking up for a long time, and so on.

Du Wenhao saw that Qu Zhen's hair was gray, and the wrinkles on his face were far away, and he couldn't see whether it was a wrinkle or a scar. Although he is tall and athletic, his body is a little rickety, but his eyes are sharp. Unconsciously nodded secretly, and arched his hand: "General Qu, I have admired your name for a long time, and I often hear Li Pu talk about your past battles in Western Xia. I admire the general's great achievements very much. ”

Qu Zhen hurriedly got up and saluted deeply: "The last general is frightened, the general is falsely praised, and the last general is grateful to the general for his kindness!" ”

Lu Gongshu This old man is a veteran-level figure, even Wang Anshi was recommended by him at the beginning, some rely on the old and sell the old, seeing that Du Wenhao is young and in a high position when he is twenty years old, he really can't see anything outstanding, and he feels a little contemptuous. Now the Empress Dowager appointed him as the capital deployment, Qu Zhen is only his deputy marshal, Du Wenhao did not greet him as the boss first, but praised the deputy marshal, which made Lu Gongzhu very unhappy, and said lightly: "General Qu should thank General Du for his support, that is, General Du is young, and if he is replaced by a thoughtful minister, he will not promote a defeated general like you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qu Zhen's old face turned red, and the smile on Du Wenhao's face froze, and he glanced at Lu Gongzhi, thinking that you old man is too unreasonable, and he wanted to ridicule each other, but the army did not move, and it was obviously not good to start infighting first, so he pretended not to hear it, diverted the topic, and explained his combat ideas in detail first.

After listening to Du Wenhao's operational ideas, Qu Zhen nodded and said: "The general's battle plan is very good, fight steadily and steadily, step by step, and force him to have a face-to-face decisive battle with our army and fight a war of attrition." Give full play to the numerical superiority of our army, as long as this plan can be implemented to the letter, it will definitely be effective! ”

Lu Gongzhu said lightly: "I'm afraid that I won't live the day when the effect is played!" ”

Du Wenhao looked at him and said, "Listening to all the deployments, do you think this tactic takes too long?" ”

"yes."

"Then in the opinion of the deployment of the capital, how should this battle be fought?"

"It's very simple, divide the troops into multiple routes, intersperse encirclement, cut off the enemy's rear route, and use superior forces to gather and annihilate them."

Du Wenhao said coldly: "All deployed, our army has suffered a lot from this tactic, and we can't let the tragedy happen again!" ”

Lu Gong raised his eyebrows: "General, tactics are dead, and people are alive." This tactic also created miracles and defeated the Liao army. As long as it is used well, it can still work. ”

Du Wenhao said: "You are right, if our army can move quickly, and have tenacity and combat effectiveness, interspersed with roundabouts and outflanks, fighting a war of annihilation, it is indeed the best choice, but our army is facing the cavalry-based Xixia army, and the two legs of people cannot run off the horse, and the enemy is a heavy armored cavalry, and it is impossible for our army to carry heavy armor in the interspersed troops, even if the enemy army is surrounded, the enemy army uses the advantage of heavy armored cavalry to tear our encirclement no problem." Therefore, we can surround the enemy, but we may not be able to completely destroy the enemy. This has been fully verified in many battles such as the Battle of Lingchuan. ”

"That's the coach's poor command!" Lu Gongzhu also said coldly.

"So, they are all very confident in their military command talents, right?"

"It's not that the old man is arrogant, although the old man has never led soldiers or fought in a war, he still has this self-confidence. If the old man leads 50,000 troops this time, he can levy it according to the old man's intentions, and keep it to repay the shame of the defeat of Yongle City! ”

Du Wenhao said: "The current state of our army is not suitable for this kind of roundabout outflanking and annihilation war......"

"The general is too timid, leading the troops to fight, you must be bold and careful, if you want the general to be like this, then you can only lose the battle."

Du Wenhao's anger went up, but he still suppressed it, and tried his best to calm down: "Lord Lu, the battle plan for the battalion step by step was decided by the Zaizhi Council, and this plan ......"

"This plan doesn't work! It's too conservative! Lu Gong said loudly with a gloomy face, "If you fight like this, can Ma Yue defeat Western Xia in the Year of the Monkey?" I am a big country, and when dealing with the Western Xia Tartars, as long as I attack with the momentum of thunder, there is no reason to be invincible. If you fight like this, then don't wait for fifty years and a hundred years? ”

Du Wenhao said in a deep voice: "Compared with the Western Xia Army at present, our army is not superior except for its numerical superiority, and the idea of underestimating the enemy and winning quickly is our biggest enemy!" ”

"General, this is early in the morning, I was bitten by a snake for ten years, and I am afraid of the well rope!"

Du Wenhao found that his tolerance of this old-fashioned old pedant as the current enemy's commander-in-chief may be a major strategic mistake, and now that the holy decree has been issued, there is no way to change it, so he can only persuade him not to rush forward as much as possible. He swallowed hard and said slowly: "Lord Lu, we don't have to argue, the battle plan for the battalion step by step was approved by the Empress Dowager......"

"What about approval? If it's wrong, you should change it! Lu Gong squinted at Du Wenhao. Yesterday afternoon, the Empress Dowager summoned me and told us to strictly implement the battle plan of the general, and asked me to listen more to the advice of Vice Marshal Qu Zhen, saying that the battle plan he opposed could not be implemented if it was too old to be implemented. Lao Yu said to the Empress Dowager at that time, the so-called 'will not be subject to foreign military orders'! The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the fighter plane is fleeting, so you can only make a decision immediately! The deputy coach can make suggestions, but he must obey the manager's decision-making! Otherwise, this battle will not be fought! ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"As the deployment of the capital, the old man asks the general to agree, and the old man will decide the battle plan independently!"
