Chapter 134: Planning to send troops
To Lin Yuyan's surprise, after the Second Emperor Brother's temperance city defense battalion, the rest of the people fell into the fear of the southern expedition all day long.
After the camp incident, the threshold of Gongzixin's mansion was about to be broken by the people of the old clan, and these people came only for the children of the clan to withdraw from the military membership of the city defense camp.
Gongzi Xin asked the housekeeper Wang Meng to deal with the old clan, and he was angry in the backyard again, originally because of the camp Xiao, Gongzi Xin has actually lost too much, and now the city defense battalion soldiers are going to withdraw from the military on a large scale, which is undoubtedly worse for their current situation!
A series of mistakes made Gongzi Xin finally realize that what his sixth brother said was true, and these old clans were really ...... Not credible!
Lin Yuyan didn't go to Lin Yuan, there were Han Kui and Fang De there, and they didn't want to work too much, like the second emperor's brother Gongzi Xin was angry because of the thunder of the city defense camp, and the eldest son Lin Yuren was panicked all day long because of the fake [Invite Army], Lin Yuyan was much more leisurely.
Hearing the news of the second emperor's brother's letter to patrol the camp, Lin Yuyan was already helpless, and the second emperor's brother really lifted the stone and hit himself in the foot this time.
wants to use the amount of the city defense battalion to win over the old clan, what kind of old clan is this attraction, so that they can get together, and they will also disperse because of the benefits.
The old clans behind these city defense battalions, the weapons of the first generation of ancestors who fought bloodily on the battlefield are already rusty, and the blood flowing in their bones is no longer the blood of the ancestors.
Therefore, the children of the clan will be put into the patrol battalion of eating and waiting for death, and there is really the blood of the old clan in their bones, such as the Ju family, their children are in the border army, guarding the country for the martial country!
But the second emperor brother couldn't see this, but Lin Yuyan guessed that according to the second emperor brother's city government, he must know the stakes, but for the sake of the power plot to compete for the throne, he deliberately ignored this point.
In this regard, Lin Yuyan does not plan to pay too much attention to it, and now that the imperial court's edict to send troops has been openly issued, everything is already in full swing.
For example, the map of Deng Guo has been placed in front of Lin Yuyan, Jing Guo's [Shouwang Army] is stationed in Xiangcheng, the capital of Deng State, and the main force of Wuguo's Xinye Army is in Fandi, the two are only tens of miles away, but now they are the plan of Guan Ning, the general of the Xinye Army, and the two are separated by an ocean.
The Shouwang army also did not show an obvious desire to go north immediately, but after sending a vanguard army of 3,000 people to meet the Xiashui Xiangling of the Xinye Army, they never tried the southern border of Wuguo again.
Lin Yuyan guessed that there were only two reasons for this, one was that the Shouwang army had just cut down the Deng Kingdom, and he was unable to do so, and he was afraid that he would not be able to Chen Bingwu in the south of the country in a short time.
The other may be the Eastern Route Army that is waiting for the Northern Expedition of Jing State, and the [Northern King Army] that is now stationed with the country.
I'm afraid it's both......
Lin Yuyan thought about it, now that the Wudeng border has fallen into a stalemate, even if the imperial court's reinforcements arrive in Fandi, there will not be much change in this regard.
After all, according to the news that came back to Wancheng from the south, Huan Yu, the leader of the [Shouwang Army], was a general with both wisdom and resourcefulness.
Lin Yuyan's gaze fell to the southeast of the [Shouwang Army] marked on the map of Deng State, Suiguo, which has been conquered by Jing State, and this army is Jing State's [Northern King Army].
And where Suiguo is located, there is another ancient name, that is, Eight Hundred Miles of Cloud Mengze.
"This battle is named the Battle of Yunmengze......"
Lin Yuyan muttered to himself, this [Northern King Army], Wu Guo didn't get much news, but it didn't hinder Lin Yuyan's estimation of it.
As the western route of the Northern Expedition, the Shouwang army captured the capital of the Deng State, Xiangcheng, and knew that the Shouwang army would have to destroy the small countries such as Gu, Lu, and Grain in the south of the Deng State if it wanted to achieve such a victory.
Compared with the Western Route Army, the Northern King Army of the Eastern Route Army is undoubtedly much more discolored, only pulling out a Suiguo with a population of less than 100,000, compared with the two, although the specifications of the [Northern King Army] should be higher than that of the [Shouwang Army], but I am afraid that in terms of combat effectiveness, the Northern King Army is still a soft persimmon.
So how could Lin Yuyan not pick up soft persimmons and pinch them?!
And the thousands of miles of land between the southern border of Wuguo and Suiguo is the royal hunting ground of Chu in the old days, eight hundred miles of Yunmengze!
This is also the route Lin Yuyan chose to march.
Instead of sticking to it, leading the fire of war to ignite the country, not taking the initiative to attack, and annihilating the enemy outside the country!
And the 800-mile Yunmengze is undoubtedly an excellent battlefield, there are dangerous mountains, dense deep forests, swamps all over the 100-mile, and plains with a wide field of vision!
It is rumored that among them, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the forests are deep and the leaves are dense, and the beasts are infested, and the eastward migration of the Chu royal family to Shouchun has made the 800-mile cloud Mengze, which witnessed the Chu country's "no sound, it has been a blockbuster", once again fell into a deserted land that is inaccessible.
The bite of poisonous mosquitoes, the miasma in the forest, and the land under his feet can appear in swamps anytime and anywhere, Lin Yuyan believes that the [Northern Wang Army] will not cross Yunmeng Daze in a straight line to attack the southern border of Wuguo, but choose to go around the edge of Yunmengze, enter Deng Country obliquely, and join Xiangcheng with [Shouwang Army].
Be sure to find a path!
Lin Yuyan was so sure in his heart that others were afraid of the inaccessibility of the eight-hundred-mile Yunmengze, and they were afraid of the jackals, tigers, leopards, snakes, insects, rats, ants, and forest miasma in the Yunmengze.
But Lin Yuyan knows how to avoid these dangers, but today's Yunmengze is too big after all, hundreds of miles of dense forests from north to south, if there is no definite route, it is easy for people to get lost in it.
Moreover, Yunmengze, which borders the southern border of the Wu Kingdom, was not even involved in the Chu State in the past, and the hunting ground of the Chu royal family was only in the south of Yunmengze, so if you want to cross Yunmengze directly, you must pass through the uninhabited heavenly barrier in the north.
Lin Yuyan thought about it, with the 3,000 men and horses of the Wuyang Army, he could completely sneak attack the Suiguo Beiwang Army stationed in the south of Yunmengze.
This idea is good, but whether it can be done is one thing, thinking about the high failure rate of those who want to play the [Surprise Attack] strategy in their minds, Lin Yuyan is also a stalker.
It is necessary to plan carefully, as it is said in the soldier's book, the right time, place and people are indispensable.
After thinking about it, Lin Yuyan put aside the map of Deng Guo on the table, and instead summoned Jing Yi and asked him to send someone to the area of Yunmengze Beishan in the south of Wuguo to start drawing a map of Yunmengze.
Secondly, Lin Yuyan also repaired a letter and sent it to Han Kui in Shanglin Yuan, informing him that he had been ordered to go to the south and needed him to cooperate with the Wuyang Army to prepare for the dispatch of troops.
