Text Section 408 Conspiracy
The great victory of Beiming in the Battle of Queyang Mountain, and the news that Emperor Jishan was safe and sound, made many worried courtiers of the Great Calendar Kingdom finally put their minds at ease. Especially Pang Gang, Fan Cheng and veteran Sun Gang and other old ministers who are old in their lives, they don't want to see domestic chaos in Dali anymore. As long as Duan Lang is okay, these old ministers believe that no matter how big the rumors are, they will be self-defeating. Moreover, the victory of the Northern Ming army also indicates that the Moro side may end the battle ahead of schedule. When the time comes, Duan Lang will return triumphantly, and the Great Calendar Kingdom will return to the peak of the Five Kingdoms.
All the courtiers and people of the Great Calendar Kingdom were immersed in the joy of victory, but they did not know that a plan to split the civil and military ministers of the Great Calendar Kingdom was quietly being implemented. However, Fei De also knew that he couldn't be anxious, after all, with their official rank, they couldn't figure out Zhou Hu's daily rules. What's more, Zhou Hu rarely goes out of camp in normal times, and Fei De also needs to find an appropriate opportunity to start.
In the middle capital, after Li Jianshan issued the Xiangguo Decree, the middle capital temporarily became calm. Although Ah Zhu and the others are nervously investigating the situation, these things can only be carried out in secret after all. Otherwise, the courtiers would find out that they were secretly investigating them, and they would be in trouble. Just when Li Jianshan Azhu and Ying Shoushan were fighting across the bank, Duan Lang, who was far away in Mamaiya City, began to prepare their breakthrough plan.
Da Fei had returned, and seeing the news of the victory over there in Tai Mingyue, Duan Lang couldn't help but laugh three times. However, Duan Lang didn't know that this battle was actually evenly matched, even if it was the defeat of martial arts cultivation in the end, Tangtai Mingyue didn't take much advantage. But in any case, the victory ultimately belonged to the Northern Ming side, which was very important to boost the morale of the Northern Ming Dynasty and the opposition.
Duan Lang summoned Gu Fan Xiangtian, Chen Qi and others and began to discuss the plan to break through. These days, the two sides have fought several battles, most of which are blitzkriegs with small fights. If he broke through, Duan Lang knew that he would definitely not be able to fight without a big battle. Because Lu Mu's layout was very late, Zhou Long and the others had several night attacks in vain. But if this stalemate continues, the weather conditions are becoming more and more unfavorable for Duan Lang's side. They were not short of food and water, but the soldiers were a little unbearable to the cold of the night.
Duan Lang looked at everyone and said, "Brothers, this ghost's weather is getting colder and colder, and the wind on the mountain is especially cold at night. Now that the main passages down the mountain are blocked, we must find a shortcut they didn't expect. Two days later, I asked Da Fei to go to the Mingyue Military Division, and as soon as Da Fei returned, Ben Shuai decided to immediately break through. In the next few days, we must do a few things. The first is to disassemble and bury the pile crossbow, this thing will be of great use in the future. Chen Qi, I'll leave this matter to you. ”
Chen Qiyi clenched his fists, "Duan Shuai rest assured, not only the pile crossbow, but even the chariot in the stream we try to disassemble and hide." As a general of the baggage battalion, he can't do it without a chariot or horse in his hand. As soon as the West Vietnamese troops and horses are withdrawn from the mountain, we will definitely re-equip the chariot and baggage battalion as quickly as possible. ”
Duan Lang snorted, nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Gu Fan Xiangtian and the others, "Gu Fan, a few of you, split up and test on the top of several cliffs to see which side is suitable to open up a route down the mountain." Remember, if you want everyone to go down, just a few of you can go up and down freely, and the other brothers don't have your ability. ”
Gu Fan clenched his fists and said, "Duan Shuai, we have all observed these days, if we take thousands of brothers to go down unimpeded, I'm afraid we will have to open it up." But as soon as we started to open up the road in the mountains, the eyeliner under the mountain was clear at a glance, and it couldn't be hidden at all. Even if you work quietly at night, the sound will travel far and wide. ”
Duan Lang said with a smile, "Why are you so stupid, you can't open up several routes around at the same time." A few of them are illusions, so that they can not figure out the real and the false. Lu Mu also needed to find the focus, otherwise they would not be able to concentrate their forces against the reinforcements of Zhou Long and others. ”
Xiang Tian looked at Duan Lang and said, "Duan Shuai, there is one more important thing, that is, after our thousands of people go down the mountain, how will the war horse be solved?" If you capture the war horse, I'm afraid this plan won't work. If you want to let General Long and them bring their war horses over, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to find so many war horses for a while. ”
Duan Lang frowned, this was exactly what he had been hesitating about. Thousands of troops want to seize the horses from the bottom of the mountain and escape, which is simply unrealistic. After all, not every guard can be so powerful as the eighteenth slash of the calendar, and they can kill in and out of thousands of troops. Moreover, Duan Lang also asked Zhou Long and the others, and it was indeed impossible to get so many war horses for a while. Not to mention ordinary people, even if it is a large battalion in the army, it takes a lot of money to raise thousands of war horses.
Duan Lang thought for a while and said, "Xiangtian, my plan is to let Zhou Long and Zhou Wu's troops contain the enemy soldiers, and Zhang Qifeng's troops will rush over, and then the two of them will rush out on one horse." Therefore, the time of our descent must be the same as the time of Zhou Long's attack. Otherwise, if we were one step earlier, we would have fallen into the siege of the army. It's not too late, which will make Zhou Long and Zhou Wu have a heavier task of blocking. These soldiers and horses are the elite of our Great Calendar Country, and we must reduce our losses. You must know that the speed of the two of them will definitely decrease, and only when Chen Qi's department is completely evacuated can Zhou Long and them evacuate. ”
"Duan Shuai, Lu Mu's guy is not a vegetarian either, in case General Zhoulong's soldiers and horses are besieged, I'm afraid there will be another tragic killing. Now that the Moro army has been defeated, I believe that the news will soon reach Lu Mu. I estimate that the Moro soldiers and horses under the mountain will be wailing, and they want to use a victory to stabilize the panic of the Moro and the people of Western Vietnam. If you forcibly break through, you will definitely not be able to do it without a big war. As for the losses, it depends on who is more ruthless than whom. Jin said truthfully.
Liu Xi said disdainfully, "We haven't fought with Lu Mu's kid a lot, as far as their combat strength in Xiyue is concerned, are you still scared." ”
"Your grandma, when have I ever been afraid. Xizi, do you want Lao Tzu to practice with you again? ”
Duan Lang looked at the brothers and lost their shape as they spoke, and scolded with a smile, "You guys, you guys don't even have a proper shape for military affairs, it seems that you have to let the military advisor clean you up when you go back." Gu Fan, Xiang Tian, you guys go separately, I want to be alone and see if there is any other way to get the war horse. ”
Duan Lang broke away from the crowd, found a big stone to lie on it, closed his eyes and thought. Gu Fan looked for Tian and the others separately, pondering how to go down the mountain at those places. Chen Qi took his brothers and began to disassemble the chariot that pushed into the stream.
Two days later, Dafei flew again in the direction of Queyang Mountain. Regarding the detailed plan for this breakthrough, Duan Lang also wanted Mingyue to help him consider it. In addition, Duan Lang also needs to know how the Northern Ming army should enter Yaksi City after the big victory.
Under the mountains and forests, the big toast Long Mu received the news two days later than Duan Lang. However, surprisingly, after learning the news of the defeat, Long Mu did not seem to be too flustered. Because Wu Faxiu reported the actual situation to Vupor Khan in detail, this loss was relative, not a one-sided defeat of the Moro army. And at present, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Ming Dynasty are still blocked by Wu Faxiu on the side of Queyang Mountain. In any case, Wu Fa Xiu couldn't let the Mingyue soldiers of Tantai send to Yaks City.
In Lu Mu's big tent, after reading the detailed battle report sent by Long Mu, Lu Mu couldn't help but be a little shocked. What shocked him was not that Tantai Mingyue led the Northern Ming Dynasty to victory, but that he was shocked by the martial arts cultivation prince of the Moro Kingdom. Lu Mu knows Tai Mingyue too well, and if he can fall for her tricks and fight the battle situation like this, I'm afraid Lu Mu may not be able to do this. There is such a capable person in the Moro country, Lu Mu doesn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Lu Mu put down the battle report, "Lord Tusi, this martial arts cultivation prince, it seems that he hasn't heard of many outstanding battle examples before, right?" But this time, I have to say that although the martial prince is defeated, he is still glorious. There were originally more soldiers and horses in the Northern Ming Dynasty than in the Moro camp, and in the case of the middle plan, they were able to make a decisive decision to continue to counterattack, which can be described as not breaking or standing, and exchanging the tragedy of the soldiers for the final victory. It's a pity that Wu Wang Ye still didn't last to the end. If he can break the kettle and persist in not withdrawing, it is really hard to say whether he will win or lose. Even if that Tai Mingyue wins, I'm afraid there won't be many troops left. When the time comes, Na Tai Mingyue can only retreat to the capital with the remnants of the defeated army. Alas~ It's a pity. ”
Lu Mu shook his head and sighed as he spoke, he felt that this martial arts cultivation prince might not have understood the strategic significance of persevering. Don't you know, this is not Wu Fa Xiu's order to evacuate at all. But when it was reported, Wu Faxiu took the initiative to take responsibility and did not push the consequences onto Xiao Zhicheng. However, Wu Faxiu explained in detail to Wu Poer Khan the strategic intention of risking the annihilation of the entire army and fighting to the death. It was precisely because of the understanding of Vupor Khan that he did not issue an order to investigate the responsibility for the defeat of Wufa Xiu.
Long Mu glanced at Lu Mu, straightened his chest and said, "Lu Dudu, I'm afraid you don't know much about the courage of the prince at your age. If you Han Pingzi are still there, he may be able to tell you a thing or two. If it weren't for the fact that the prince was wronged and imprisoned by His Majesty, the last battle of the Northern Ming Dynasty would have forced Tai Hongshi to surrender. ”
Seeing Long Mu's rather respectful tone, it also aroused Lu Mu's interest, "Okay, after this battle, the governor of Pontus really wants to pay a visit to this martial prince." ”
"There will be a chance, but after all, the battle of Queyang Mountain was a defeat. Therefore, His Majesty my lord has sent a decree to let our side solve Duan Lang as soon as possible. Your Majesty said that Duan Lang's head is more important than hundreds of thousands of troops. Lu Dudu, I don't know what the plan is? Long Mu said.
Lu Mu smiled bitterly, "The news of the defeat will soon spread all over the world, not only you, Moro, but also the Pontus Governor will also have to show His Majesty Zhongde a share of the results." Otherwise, His Majesty Zhongde would be more anxious than the lord of Vupol Khanate. ”
Long Mu's eyes lit up, "Does Governor Lu have a plan?" ”
Lu Mu shook his head, "There is no plan, but the battle report, we can report it first." ”
Long Mu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Lu Mu meant, "This is not good, lying about the military situation is a serious crime." ”
"Lord Tusi, I'm afraid that Your Majesty, the lord of your two countries, at this moment, I wish we would like to present a fake battle result. A big war has lost more than 100,000 main forces, and the secret agents of the Northern Ming Dynasty and the Great Calendar Kingdom will amplify such news. If you were the lord of the country, what would Toast-sama do? ”
Long Mu's eyes narrowed, "What does Governor Lu mean that His Majesty needs to stabilize the courtiers and the people?" ”
"Yes, it is imperative that the two Majesties do not want real results, but to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world. Of course, this was just a report in advance, and the Governor of Pontus believed that Duan Lang's kid would soon take action. ”
Long Mu said suspiciously, "No, Duan Lang is trapped in the mountains, and he shouldn't have received news from the bright moon of the mountain." Even if there is a way to receive the news, how can he break through. ”
"Lord Toast, this has nothing to do with the news from the Mingyue side of the Tai Tai. A few days ago, the weather turned cold, and the Pontus Governor observed that the night was cold and windy for the past two days, and our soldiers and horses felt that their clothes were thin under the mountain, let alone above the mountain forest. Duan Lang didn't break through again, in case a big snow closed the mountain, they could only be trapped in the mountain. ”
"So, they're really going to break out?"
"Well, if you don't break through, there is only a dead end. However, it cannot be said that Duan Lang died in battle, at most he killed 20,000 or 30,000 horses under Zhou Long's department, informing me that the army was about to achieve a complete victory. Otherwise, if Duan Lang's kid fights out of the encirclement under the protection of the eighteen guards, we won't be able to lose that face at that time. ”
Long Muxin said that Lao Tzu had lost it once, and if Duan Lang ran away again this time, maybe the lord of the country, Wupol Khan, could really order him to be killed. However, Long Mu took Lu Mu's suggestion, and after preparing to return to his camp, he immediately played a fake battle report.
The two of them began to study how to deal with Duan Lang's breakthrough action, and after some discussion, Lu Mu immediately ordered to dig traps and set up traps around the mountains and forests. Anyway, they have a lot of manpower, and it only takes one day to set up a lot of mechanisms around the mountains and forests with a single order. No matter where Duan Lang broke through and descended the mountain, he couldn't escape the siege and hunting of these traps.
On the top of the mountain forest, the guards who were also beating and beating to open the way also saw the excavation under the mountain. Duan Lang stood on a high place and saw it clearly, Lu Mu's behavior of sealing the mountain made Duan Lang's mood suddenly heavy. Even if you memorize the layout of these traps, they won't be able to rush out of the arrow array outside the trap. What's more, if you break through at night, you won't be able to identify where there are traps and traps at all.
Duan Lang's brows were tightened, and he regretted that he hadn't acted earlier. But now that Da Fei has not returned, even if he sees that the mountain has not been set up, Duan Lang can't notify Zhou Long and the others to kill him.
At the foot of the mountain, Lu Mu stood on top of a handsome car, wearing animal skins and holding his head high. That means to tell Duan Lang that we don't have to attack the mountain at all, we just want to trap you in the mountain. Even if there is water and food in the mountains, but the guards have no cotton clothes, look at what you have to protect against the cold. You must know that the cold winter of Moro is not the Great Calendar Country, even the war horses need to find a place to shelter from the cold at night, let alone people.
