Chapter Ninety-One: Prelude to the Fire Plan
Xixiang, Xiangjun's Mansion, Juyi Hall.
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. The autumn harvest in Saigo is also nearly half complete. Today, the core of Saigo is gathered in the Righteous Hall, but they are not discussing the autumn harvest, but a military operation, the 'Fire' plan. Even Sima Liu Wu, another department who had been stationed in Shibao for many years, rushed back to participate in this temple calculation.
In addition, Liu Ming, the master of Xixiang, the scum of the clan and the shame, and the self-depraved Liu Ming was finally released by Liu Ye. Looking at Liu Ming, who nodded to Fan Yong, Liu Ye had a brain pain. Huainan Liu's face was all lost by this goods. His own brother Liu Wu even pretended not to know him.
Although Liu Ming was confined by Liu Ye for nearly three months. But Liu Ye knew that the life of this goods was very chic. Hiding in the township gentleman's mansion all day long and falling in love with Fan Lan Lori. According to his little wife, they have reached the point where everything else they should have done has been done except for nothing, and even his body has been blessed for a whole time.
"Ahem!" Liu Ye coughed lightly twice, signaling someone to keep a low profile. For his own father Ji, Liu Ming was still quite afraid, and immediately became a lot more honest.
After seeing that Liu Ming and the others were quiet, Liu Ye continued: "Regarding the implementation of the 'fire' plan, how are you prepared? Have you assembled all the warrior songs? β
"Back to the Lord, the assembly has been completed!" Liu Wu and the other four music leaders replied in unison. (Liu Shi was stationed in Shibao and did not come to participate in the temple calculation.) )
"Uh-huh!" After Liu Ye nodded with satisfaction, he asked Liu Wu, "How is the situation over there in Shibao?" β
"Thanks to the help of the more than 1,500 mountain people sent by the Lord, all the wheat near the stone fort has been harvested. The two towns belonging to Shibao have begun large-scale mobilization, and it is expected that the assembly will be completed within a day. The Stone Fort warriors had already assembled two days ago. And it has been well rested, which will not affect the implementation of the 'fire' plan. Liu Wu replied with a blank look.
Liu Ye nodded with satisfaction. For Liu Wu to do things, he is very relieved.
"Where's the scout?" Liu Ye asked Luan Jie, who was sitting in the back. When you go out to sneak attack, you must find out the enemy sentry, otherwise once the enemy discovers it, it will be in vain. (Just like when LΓΌ Meng crossed the river in white and attacked Jingzhou, he gave priority to eradicating the Jingzhou beacon towers along the river.) )
"Back to the Lord! After five days of exploration, on the road from Stone Fort to Awabe, Vala set up a total of three sentry posts to guard it. In recent days, a number of rangers have been added to serve as patrol posts, but these rangers will be much fewer at night. Luan Jie reported with a serious face, not at all frivolous.
"It seems that in the last battle of Sunset Valley, the strength shown by my Saigo gave Vala a great shock. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so wary of us. Xiahou Wen sighed softly. Increased security means that the likelihood of a sneak attack being detected is greatly increased.
After hearing Xiahou Wen's words, Cui Shen, who was sitting on the side and listening, was a little embarrassed. Because Saigo exposed his strength early in order to save them. However, Cui Shen is still an old fritter who has been mixing in Shizhao's officialdom for a long time, and this is still a little cheeky. The face is not red, and the heart is not beating. As if it had nothing to do with him.
At this time, Xiahou Wen also suddenly remembered that the protagonist of the last rescue was sitting opposite him. The person opposite him is not only from a wealthy family in Hebei, but also a great Confucian in the world. At the same time, he is also the father-in-law of his own monarch. Will what you just say offend the other party? Why can't I control my stinky mouth? Thinking of this, Xiahou Wen couldn't wait to slap himself twice.
In order to make up for the mistake just now, Xiahou Wen, who was a little cautious, bowed respectfully to Cui Shen to show that what he said just now was unintentional. And Cui Shen on the other side smiled back to show that he didn't care.
In fact, Xiahou Wen thought too much, how could Cui Shen, as a famous Confucian in the north, be a narrow-minded person. Regarding Xiahou Wen's words just now, Cui Shen didn't take it to heart at all. By the way, Liu Ye and Cui Bai's little beauty got married five days ago, and Cui Bai's little beauty officially fell into Liu Ye's clutches.
"Zuo Sima doesn't have to worry, the sentry is there, Benjun has his own solution?" Liu Ye comforted.
"What does the lord mean?" Xiahou Wen asked rhetorically with a somewhat puzzled tone.
"In order for the 'fire' plan to be implemented smoothly, Benjun plans to use a small team of white-robed guards as the lead to eliminate these sentinels." Liu Ye patiently explained.
"With the white-robed guards coming out in person, the ministers will be relieved." Xiahou Wen breathed a sigh of relief and said. The rest of the Saigo generals also breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want to turn a good surprise attack into a strong attack because of the problem of the sentinels.
"How are you preparing?" Liu Ye asked Qin Ming again.
After hearing Liu Ye's inquiry, Qin Ming took out a long note from his sleeve and read it slowly:
"A thousand special long rockets have been produced and have been delivered to the Longbow brigade."
"The jerky is also ready, just waiting for the pre-war distribution."
"There are also temporarily requisitioned horses, cattle and donkeys and other transport animals that are already in place, and then pull on our modified troop carriers, which are enough to transport a team of 1,500 people in a short distance."
β¦β¦
The right Sima Qin Ming, who was born in the Shu clan, is not very outstanding. But Sheng is serious and careful in his work, and he can complete everything Liu Ye orders well, and he is the best candidate for the logistics minister.
After listening to Qin Ming's long report, Liu Ye felt a little tired. But he still praised Qin Ming a few words. After all, Qin Ming was able to deal with this long list of things that made people want to sleep a little after listening to it, which was a great thing in itself.
After asking Qin Ming, Liu Ye asked a few more people. However, the answers of the next few people made Liu Ye a little unsatisfied. The main problem is night blindness.
The main thrust of the 'Fire' plan was a night raid. People who suffer from night blindness are obviously not very suitable to participate. In particular, nearly half of the newly recruited long and short archers suffer from night blindness. In this regard, Liu Ye has no good way. They can only be temporarily removed from the team that carried out the 'Fire' project. After all, taking them with them will not only not help at all, but will drag down the whole team.
After carefully inquiring about their preparations, Liu Ye ordered: "Gentlemen, this monarch has decided to launch the 'fire' plan tomorrow night. β
Everyone present also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"In this battle, the warriors Liu Shiqu, Xu Jiqu, and Tang Juequ plus the Longbow Brigade, the Light Cavalry Team, the Scout Team and the white-robed guards of the three squads were used as the main combat force."
"The two towns of Fan Yongqujia Stone Fort are stationed in Shibao as a reserve. At the same time, it is responsible for the garrison of the stone castle. Hearing this, Fan Yong's heart was slightly depressed. But he didn't have a good way, who made him have the most new Qu pawns, and the most people who suffered from night blindness. And this 'fire' plan is too important, although Liu Ye believes in his ability, it is obvious that his troops cannot be trusted by Liu Ye. Looking at the elated colleagues next to him, Fan Yong could only silently envy. However, Fan Yong was not depressed, he firmly believed that under his leadership, Fan Yongqu's combat power would surpass that of other songs. In the future, Fan Yongqu will become the main force.
"Cai Mingqu has strengthened the vigilance of the guards in Xishan, and must not let the remnants of the mountain bandits in Xishan harass the normal autumn harvest in Xixiang." Cai Ming and Fan Yong are sick and sympathetic. However, Cai Ming seems to have expected this to be the case for a long time. After all, Cai Ming, as the 'commander of Xishan Bandits' in Xixiang, generally does not leave Xishan.
"Yang Bu, the captain of the urban management team, temporarily selected the nearby Tuntian soldiers to form the Xixiang Self-Defense Force, which is responsible for the guard work in Xixiang." Yang Bu, who was sitting at the end, was overjoyed. Compared with Yang Wushao three months ago, Yang Wushao at this time has obviously changed a lot. After Yang Wushao was punished and injured by Fan Yong on the recruit training ground last time, he recuperated for a long time before recovering. But he didn't expect that after recovering from his illness, Yang Wushao would be cheeky and go to Fan Yong to apprentice. What's even more strange is that Yang Yang didn't stop it. Fan Yong didn't want to save Yang Yang's face. After all, he injured Yang Wushao last time, and he had already offended Yang Yang, the number two person in Xixiang. If Fan Yong refused, Yang Yang's face would definitely not be able to hang up. will definitely have a bitter enmity with him. For Fan Yong, who wants to use Liu Ye's power to go back to take revenge, Yang Yang's status and influence doom Yang Yang to be the person he can't offend in Xixiang. So Fan Yong had no choice but to accept Yang Wushao.
But this time, Yang Wushao was quite honest and didn't make any trouble. As for whether it was because he was scared by Fan Yong, or because of Fan Ziluoli, Liu Ye didn't know. Following Fan Yong, Yang Wushao also learned a lot of useful things, and Liu Ye decided to give his brother-in-law a chance. The important task of taking care of Liu Ye's old nest in Xixiang, although there is no danger, it is obvious that it is necessary to arrange a person who Liu Ye can trust, and Yang Bu is very suitable.
"Yang Yang, the chief administrative officer, must complete the autumn harvest task on time. Moreover, the wheat field at the soldier's house must also be harvested in time, and there must not be an acre left behind. When Yang Yang heard this, he saluted Liu Ye to guarantee the completion.
"Finally, the ministries must arrive at the designated location within the allotted time. Tomorrow night, the third watch, under the unified command of Benjun, will launch an attack on time. Violators are engaged in military law! Remember, this operation can only succeed, not fail!"
"No!" Everyone said in unison.
Liu Ye discussed some specific matters with everyone before ending the temple calculation. After the meeting ended, everyone left in a hurry, wanting to go back as soon as possible to make the final preparations.
However, Cui Shen did not leave, but said to Liu Ye with some hesitation: "The son of a daughter, you can't sit down!" Lord, this operation is too dangerous, why don't you change your command with a general! β
Liu Ye shook his head and sighed: "The 'fire' plan is too important, and I must go there in person." β
Cui Shen saw that Liu Ye was resolute, and did not persuade again, but left after retreating.
Defeat the Avabe and take down the entire Ava. It is the key to the rise of Saigo. Once the night attack failed, the Avabe became even more vigilant. If you want to destroy Avabe in the future, you will have to pay a double price. It has been less than a year since Shi Zhao collapsed and the north was in turmoil, Xixiang had no time, and Liu Ye had no time. All Liu Ye must go.
