"Tianxiang, these are two military reports from the northwest, take a look." Apocalypse four years June 27, at this time Chang'an has entered the summer, under the scorching sun under the light of Chang'an City is lush everywhere, four years of continuous large-scale planting of trees and grass to make the Guanzhong Plain including Chang'an re-restored, along with the vertical and horizontal shuttle through the entire plain of the large water conservancy hub has been completed one after another, almost all the canals are surrounded by a green corridor, in the past two years, even those that continue to extend from Chang'an to other major cities in Guanzhong Province are also covered by this green corridor, This kind of government-led practice of leading the people to join in planting trees and grasses to conserve water and soil has achieved remarkable results in Guanzhong, and this section of the Yellow River has become clear, and at the beginning of this year, several provinces in Hezhong, Bingzhou, and the Central Plains where the Yellow River passes through have sent people to Guanzhong to learn from their experience. For this reason, Zhang Quanfu specially commended Guanzhong for its efforts to restore the water and soil in Guanzhong and bring the land of Qinchuan back to Datang in the past few years at the conference on environmental protection and water conservancy facilities construction in northern Datang held in April, and called on all provinces of Datang to protect the land and benefit future generations. After this wind blew out, the banks of the Grand Canal also began to take action, and roughly calculated that in the fourth year of the Apocalypse alone, tens of millions of saplings were planted in the entire 3,000-mile basin of the Grand Canal, and these saplings will quickly grow into big trees in the next few years, adding more green to the land of China. And in Chang'an, the seat of the highest power of the Tang Dynasty, the palace was already covered with lush greenery at this time, so that Hu Xiaosi didn't feel that it had entered summer when he walked away.

However, this kind of large-scale planting of trees and grass is actually Li Xuanqing's concept in his previous life, and in his previous life, he saw a lot of wind and sand and yellow sand in the north, so he always felt that he was really sorry if he didn't do something, and he had traveled back to a thousand years ago, plus his chosen Minister of Water Resources and Environmental Protection Zhang Quanfu had seen the situation of desert invasion of the grassland since he was a child, and the two hit it off in this regard. In the past few years, Zhang Quanfu almost moved his water conservancy and environmental protection department to the northwest, and he himself also served as the political envoy of Hexi Province, and almost the entire Hexi Corridor took planting trees and grass and protecting the environment as the focus of governance.

However, at this time, Hu Xiaosi didn't have the heart to comment on Zhang Quanfu's measures, and after walking to Xu Tianxiang's office, he sat down on the side and handed him two copies of the stepped up military report from the northwest, and said with a smile: "Our Xuanyingwei is about to become the messenger of your general staff, but I'm afraid that the senior brother in the northwest will also hurry up." ”

Xu Tianxiang looked at the military report sent by Hu Xiaosi and nodded, and handed the latest situation on Chen Fan's side on his desk to Hu Xiaosi and said with a smile: "The northwest side is too far away, we are afraid that the senior brother's side has already sent troops to attack Kupila, but Chen Fan's side surprised me, he is so calm that people who are afraid can be moved by Biaozi, it seems that it is not bad that you didn't let him go to the northwest." ”

Hu Xiaosi pursed his lips, he was not surprised that Chen Fan made such a move, this guy had found himself before going to the Northeast, how could his kind of character be untargeted, I was afraid that he had already expected what would happen in Sanhan, and besides, Zhu Youlun and Zheng Fan had been almost free-range in Sanhan in recent years, in fact, it was not the intention of these people to use the hands of Zheng Fan and others to release the prestige of the Tang Dynasty to the peninsula in advance, which was like a rehearsal in advance.

"But Chen Fan's arrangement seems to be a little wrong, why didn't he put any troops on the eastern coastline? And took Baoliang's cavalry corps away? Is this intended to empty the entire East? Hu Xiaosi frowned and thought for a while: "This guy doesn't want to take this opportunity to fish, right?" Don't think Liu Yi and they were not ruthless enough? I feel like the whole east side has been swept several times, right? ”

"This is obviously trying to complete everything at once, why don't we notify the cabinet, Chen Fan can send someone over to receive it." Xu Tianxiang nodded and said with a wicked smile, "The northwest side can add some popularity again, Tuoba Sizhi also sent a report back to say that those nomads don't know how to farm at all, and the good fields have been ruined by them, saying that they want to find more people from the Central Plains to go over, and now it's okay, everyone can live without us." ”

Xu Tianxiang and Hu Xiaosi smiled evilly when Chen Fan, who was far away on the peninsula, didn't have the heart to think so much, and immediately asked Liu Baoliang to drop the cavalry corps to deploy along Yanjin and other places north of the Qingchuan River after letting Ge Cunzhou and Biaozi return to the front line of Beiyuanjing, and at the same time let Liu Yi secretly send two battalions to lurk, and the other three battalions began to march towards Dachuan and other places north of the Andong Protectorate, claiming that they were preparing to support Beiyuanjing to fight.

However, at this time, Zheng Fan and the Silla people who did not know that Chen Fan had already let go of the entire east sent troops according to the plan at this time, and on the third day of the siege of Beiyuan Jing by Ge Cunzhou's corps, Zhu Youlun worshiped Zhu Youliang as the commander of the northern army, and Zheng Fan was the commander of the army of 200,000 towards Beiyuan Jing. The news of Zheng Fan's large-scale attack was soon discovered by Biaozi, but in order to ensure that Zheng Fan went down as planned, Ge Cunzhou did not stop attacking the city after discussing with Biaozi, but increased his efforts, and the artillery unit that has not appeared since the beginning of the war also appeared for the first time, and more than 20 artillery pieces collapsed the west wall of Beiyuan Jing in only half a day, this scene almost frightened the courage of Li Cunji, the king of Goryeo in the city, was broken, but fortunately, at the critical moment, Jin Shandao led the defenders to take his life to block the pace of the 15th Corps' charge, was able to block Ge Cunzhou's attack. However, this battle also caused Jinshan Dao to send urgent messengers to urge Zheng Fan's army to speed up and rush over for reinforcements that night, and said that as long as Zheng Fan could help them defeat the Tiance army, he would cede all the land south of Xiyuan Jing to the Great Liang State. If this news was placed in the past, it could indeed make Zheng Fan and Zhu Youliang excited, but at this moment, they didn't know whether to be happy or sad, the artillery of the Tiance Army could directly collapse the city wall of Beiyuan Jing just after it appeared, so would it be too late for him to rush over at this time? Compared to Zhu Youliang, who was secretly pleased with Zheng Fan, but frowned, according to the current marching speed, he would be able to reach the Xiyuan capital before dark tomorrow, but the Goryeo army could not resist the Tiance army by relying on the city wall, so how long could his 200,000 army support? What's more, there are 100,000 Baekje people in it?

"Marshal, send someone to inform the Silla people to hurry up and go north, and they must take Lintun County before the end of the battle of Bukwonkyung." Zheng Fan thought for a long time and said: "In the past two days, I will arrange the ambush of Ge Cunzhou's corps, I hope that the marshal can make all the armies pay attention not to show their traces, I have a feeling that the Datang side already knows that we are sending troops, so I plan to make a tactical feint, and the marshal will lead the Baekje people to the west to pretend to be the main force, and I will take our main elite starry night to rescue Kitahara Kyo." ”

Zheng Fan's words made Zhu Youliang almost lose his temper, at this time, did Zheng Fan already see something by separating himself from the main elite? And before Biaozi asked him to gather his cronies, if he left the main force at this time, wouldn't it be a failure? However, Zhu Youliang has finally reached the position of the superior of the Great Liang State in the past two years, so he was just stunned for a moment and then said: "The military advisor said very much, but although the Baekje people are not strong, there are 100,000 people, can we win the Tiance army by transferring them and relying on our main force alone?" ”

Zheng Fan didn't notice Zhu Youliang's gaffe at this time, and he also shook his head at his words and said: "The point of this battle is to advance secretly and then attack suddenly, so we can't let these Baekje people do bad things here, they can only play a little role when they fight a tailwind war." That's why I asked you to lead them to Xiyuanjing in advance, because according to my assumption, Ge Cunzhou will not easily retreat north after being attacked by me, and he will definitely go to Xiyuanjing in the past and then choose the right time to counterattack, so you have to fight back and forth with me after the other party arrives, and it is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers, as long as you defeat Ge Cunzhou's corps, the Tiance Army will inevitably be greatly injured. ”

Zhu Youliang had already adjusted at this time, so he nodded when he heard this, and made a very approving expression at Zheng Fan's words, but he was secretly slandering this guy in his heart, and he still didn't say that he couldn't defeat Ge Cunzhou's army in the end, and his purpose was not to fight directly with the Tiance Army, but to confront the other party, so as to drive a wedge between Ge Cunzhou and Chen Fan's generals on the one hand, and win time for the Silla people's sneak attack on the other, so that no matter what the results of the battle, the relationship between Ge Cunzhou and Chen Fan would not be much better. And because of this incident, Ge Cunzhou was suspicious of the Tang Emperor. However, these have nothing to do with Zhu Youliang, at this time, he has already made up his mind to divide the troops, and immediately notified Biao Zi, reminding him that Zheng Fan has begun to divide the troops to make him ready.

Zheng Fan led the elite of his headquarters to begin to conceal his whereabouts and rushed towards Beiyuan Jing overnight, while Zhu Youliang took 100,000 Baekje people to the west of Xiyuan Jing, and openly played his own banner to confuse the spies and secret guards of the Tiance Army. It's just that what Zheng Fan didn't know was that after the two divided their troops, Zhu Youliang not only sent someone to notify the Silla people to send troops as soon as possible, but also asked his henchmen and guards to find the Xuanying Guard, and quickly informed Biaozi of the previous news. Because Zhu Youliang's identity at this time had been disclosed within the Xuan Ying Guard, there were actually people from the secret guards who followed him along the way, and even several secret guards mixed into his troops, so the news even spread to Ge Cunzhou and Biao Zi faster than the speed of Zheng Fan's march.

"Haha, General Ge, now that all the parties involved in the war have entered the game, it's up to you next, I'll pretend to be a messenger sent by the marshal to reprimand you then, don't really do it when the time comes, I'm not your opponent." Biaozi waved his hand for the Dark Guard to quickly send the news back to Command, laughing at the same time.

"According to Zheng Fan's marching speed, it is estimated that he will arrive here tomorrow evening at the latest, so tomorrow is the key, and the intensity of the siege needs to be controlled. Ge Cunzhou complained.

Biao Zi spread his hands and said, "This can't be counted on my head, right?" But I don't have an idea, why don't we advance a little earlier, and tomorrow I will become Chen Dashuai's messenger and herald? In this way, you can stop the army for at least half a day, and in the afternoon, you can figure out a way to send someone to the scolding war for half a day. ”

Biaozi's words made Ge Cunzhou nod, this was also an idea, and it could confuse Zheng Fan, so the two continued to discuss how to arrange tomorrow, including how the armies should react after being attacked by Zheng Fan, how to retreat west as planned, and so on before starting to rest.

The next day, on June 29, the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Ge Cunzhou and Biao Zi naturally came to a scene of discord between the front-line generals and the commander of the army according to the script discussed by the two before, and the two sides blamed each other. However, Ge Cunzhou had previously strictly ordered the generals of all armies not to approach the commander's tent without an order, so everyone was at a loss, and the two battalions that were supposed to carry out the siege mission even retreated back to the barracks. Such a scene was soon learned by Zheng Fan after Biaozi secretly released the intelligence blockade, so the marching speed was even faster.

At the same time, the Silla people also received a report from Zhu Youliang, and after learning that Zheng Fan's 200,000 troops had arrived at the front line, they also began to send all the 100,000 troops gathered in the north to rush north along the eastern coastline, and march straight towards Lintun County. In this way, all the parties involved in the entire peninsula campaign have all entered the game at this time, whether it is Zheng Fan or Biaozi, the plans of the two have all been shown at this moment, and the rest depends on who can predict all the endings. In this battle involving all the forces on the peninsula, Chen Fan was calm after receiving the information sent by Biaozi, and only asked Hou Yong to secretly lead the army south to cross the Qingchuan River along the western coastline and prepare to participate in the battle of Xiyuanjing when necessary.

"Dashuai, are you digging this pit a little big?" Hou Yong pointed to the entire eastern part of the peninsula and shook his head and smiled: "How many Koreans have been killed in this battle?" I heard that you sent an order to the chief of staff to prepare the guy who searched his house, is this going to ask the Ministry of Finance to give us a commendation too? ”

"What? You don't want it? Chen Fan turned around and looked at his former friend with a smile: "Isn't it customary to spend money from other people's Ministry of Finance for the first time every year to earn money for them?" I'll get used to it after coming a few more times in the future, but this time you're hopeless, there don't seem to be any rich people in Xiwonjing, and the treasury is estimated to have been emptied by Jinshan Road before, so you still have to think about how to help Ge Cunzhou capture his 100,000 Baekje captives. ”

"Is it so difficult to catch 100,000 people?" Hou Yong swallowed his saliva and smiled.
