Zheng Fan has aged a lot over the years, and people in their forties are now graying their temples, because the people brought by Zhu Youliang in the Central Plains basically have no outstanding government officials, so Zheng Fan has been presiding over government affairs and military affairs in the past few years, so Zheng Fan's speed of aging is too fast. So sometimes in the dead of night, Zheng Fan regrets that he couldn't convince Xie Tong back then, the latter has an extraordinary talent in both government affairs and military affairs, and can easily resolve any situation encountered. And no one can understand the hardships of struggling in this land in the past few years. And he has just taken the place of Baekje, and found a place for Zhu Youlun and a place for himself to live in Datang's Tiance army has already fought from the north, and the military peak is stronger than when it was fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains a few years ago, it can be said that the Tiance army equipped with new weapons has become so powerful that wise people like themselves are desperate.

"Captain, the latest battle situation in the north." Zheng Fan had just returned to Bianzhou from the north, but before he could rest and catch up with the battle situation that had just arrived from the north.

"Prepare the car, follow me to see the lord, and inform the northern patrol envoy and the generalissimo to meet the lord." Zheng Fan took the battle report and hurriedly glanced at it, and immediately went to see Zhu Youlun, and ordered Zhu Youliang and Kang Huaiying to be notified immediately to go to Zhu Youlun's residence. In fact, after Zhu Youlun crossed the sea to Samhan on his side, in fact, the heir of the former Zhu Quanzhong was already a little similar to his father when he was the most virtuous in the face of foreign land and hardships, and even entered Bianzhou in order to save expenses, and even did not even have a place to live, and directly repaired the palace of the Baekje people who was almost burned down before. And when Zheng Fan came to the front hall of the palace, Zhu Youlun was still dealing with government affairs, and he also knew that he didn't have much talent in military affairs, so he put down his son and followed Zheng Fan in front of him over the years to humbly learn how to deal with the relationship between the Han people he brought and the local Baekje people if he handled government affairs, so that he could deal with internal contradictions as soon as possible, at least when the front-line army was fighting, the rear could not be chaotic. Zhu Youlun's diligent behavior has made Zheng Fan's tiredness in the past few days come to nothing, and the most hopeful and gratifying thing for a minister is that his lord is humbly learning, constantly strengthening himself, and being able to rely on his courtiers closely.

"Lord, you should go to rest early when it's late at night." When Zheng Fan walked in, Zhu Youlun also saw it for the first time, and hurriedly stood up and welcomed Zheng Fan in, which is not surprising to Zheng Fan, Zhu Youlun is still as respectful and polite to himself as before. So after Zheng Fan sat down, he saw Zhu Youlun's eyes red, obviously staying up late has become a habit, and he became concerned.

"Taiwei has worked hard, and there are too many people to help my Zhu family." Zhu Youlun waved his hand to signal that it didn't matter, ordered the guards outside the door to bring over two cups of ginseng tea, handed one to Zheng Fan, and said with a smile: "Shouldn't the captain be on the front line?" Is there something to do alone when you rush back to Bianzhou at night? ”

"My lord, this is the latest battle report received in the north, and he hurried into the palace before he could deliver the northern patrol envoy and the generalissimo's minister." Zheng Fan handed the battle report he had just received to Zhu Youlun and continued: "The Tiance army has now surrounded Goryeo's Beiwonjing, and the two-way army has swept the entire territory of Goryeo, if we let it go, then Goryeo will inevitably be completely wiped out by the Tiance army in half a month at the latest. And our Daliang will also lose the largest barrier in the north and face the Tiance army. Zheng Fan calmly recounted the war information he had just received, and didn't notice that Zhu Youlun's face suddenly became extremely pale, and the situation had become extremely sinister, losing the power of Goryeo, Da Liang had to directly face the behemoth of the Tiance Army. Judging from the experience of the previous battles between the peninsula and the Central Plains Dynasty, a lot of victories have been fought, but they have always won the battlefield, but in the face of the huge war potential of the Central Plains Dynasty, they had to choose to bow down to Chen Chen in the end. Under normal circumstances, as long as the Central Plains Dynasty does not die on its own, no power or regime on the peninsula can gain an advantage at all, which can be seen from the fact that there are still four counties divided in the Sanhan region during the time of Emperor Wu and the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate set up by the previous generation. It can be said that in the war between the peninsula and the Central Plains, no force or dynasty on the peninsula can afford to lose, and as long as it loses, it will be completely defeated, and there is no chance of turning the tables or starting over.

Zhu Youlun is not stupid, from the beginning of his visit to Sanhan, he expected that one day he would still collide with the Tang Empire established by Li Xuanqing in the Central Plains, so in history, no matter which dynasty and the confrontation between the Sanhan regional regime, he has learned in detail that there is only one way to win the competition with that behemoth, that is, to rely on the mountains and mountains in the north to stretch the supply line of the Tiance army, and use a large strategic retreat to consume the war potential of the other party. And he concentrated his main force to find the loopholes in the opponent's long supply line and strike a sudden blow, so as to completely collapse the opponent. It's just that this method is only afraid that it won't work, Datang's navy has opened up a landing ground in Changkou, and a large number of materials and soldiers no longer enter the peninsula from the Yalu River, and there is no way to confront the navy of the Tiance Army at sea, and those steel monsters are more intimidating than the army on land and make him desperate. After Zhu Youlun figured out this, he knew that he had to make up his mind to make a desperate bet, maybe he could still find the loopholes in the other party's deployment in the war, and then give himself a chance. So in this distracted time, they didn't even pay attention to when Zhu Youliang and Kang Huaiying came, or Zheng Fan woke up Zhu Youlun by telling the latest war situation in the north after the two arrived.

"My lord, there is only one way to plan for now, and that is to suddenly send troops to attack the siege troops when the Tiance army is besieging Beiyuan Jing, so as to strike first and gain the first opportunity." Kang Huaiying saw Zhu Youlun nodding at him and directly expressed his opinion. In fact, his opinion is the last chance for the current beam. Therefore, seeing that Zheng Fan and Zhu Youliang had no intention of objecting, Zhu Youlun nodded and said: "In this case, the Taiwei and the Generalissimo can immediately concentrate all the soldiers and horses in the country, and give the three of them full powers, and they can mobilize the greatest strength of my Great Liang to go all out to fight to the death with the Tiance Army." ”

"The lord doesn't have to worry too much, although the enemy is strong and I am weak, but the front line has not yet reached the moment of life and death, Goryeo has not surrendered and they still have tens of thousands of troops in Beiyuan Jing to defend the city, and I have reached an agreement with their marshal, they will hold on until our army arrives in Beiyuan Jing, and then join forces with us to fight against the Tiance army." Zheng Fan saw Zhu Youlun's sad face and immediately smiled: "So the lord doesn't have to worry, our general Ge Cunzhou was on the front line of the Tiance Army back then, I have already buried a dark line, maybe it will be useful to make the generals of the Tiance Army on the front line centrifuge at that time, and our chances of victory will not be greater at that time." Zheng Fan's words made Zhu Youliang's mind flash a trace of surprise, originally he had always suspected that Zheng Fan was plotting against Ge Cunzhou, after all, Ge Cunzhou was different from other generals of the Tiance Army, he was the commander of the Xuanwu Army in the past, and the Tiance Army has not had a better time than before over the years, although Ge Cunzhou's corps is also one of the main corps of the Tiance Army, and Ge Cunzhou himself has also hung up his post in their military high command, but it is still far from the former generalissimo of the Xuanwu Army. The main family members of the Tiance Army are still the first brothers to follow Li Xuanqing back then, and they are strong and young, and there is basically no possibility of being replaced by others in a short period of time, so Zhu Youliang will guess what Zheng Fan is going to do roughly, but from his current words, it seems that it is not so simple, but he used Ge Cunzhou to set off an internal friction within the Tiance Army to completely disintegrate the offensive of the Tiance Army this time, but I am afraid that Ge Cunzhou will just be a pawn to be used at that time. Zheng Fan had no intention of regaining Ge Cunzhou. This made Zhu Youliang secretly wonder if he was looking for an opportunity to pass it on to Biaozi, approaching this is already very important news, if Biaozi didn't make a plan in advance, I was afraid that it would really be done by Zheng Fan.

And when Zhu Youliang was thinking about this matter, Zheng Fan let Zhu Youlun feel at ease and told all the achievements of his previous time, Zheng Fan because he handed over all the military power in the north to Zhu Youliang, so he secretly entered Silla in the southeast of the peninsula without military affairs. And made an appointment to send troops to attack the rear of the Tiance army when he sent troops to join forces with the Goryeo people to fight the Tiance army in a decisive battle with the Tiance army, and broke most of Lintun County along the coastline on the east side of the peninsula, and then entered the Andong Protectorate to outflank him, and finally the three parties worked together to fight to the death with the other party near the northern Yuanjing. It should be said that Zheng Fan's plan is still very perfect, he sent troops and the remnants of Goryeo to drag the main force of the Tiance army in Beiyuanjing, and persuaded the Silla people to take the opportunity to send troops to attack Lintun County, which is equivalent to inserting a knife in the rear of the Tiance army, and the tactical action of returning to the Andong capital to protect the palace is basically a complete cut off the retreat of most of the Tiance army this time, unless their navy can drive the warship to land, otherwise the Tiance army that is suffering from the enemy will definitely not be pleased.

Kang Huaiying and Zhu Youlun were obviously stunned by Zheng Fan's plan, they could think that the Silla people entered the game, after all, the current power of the Samhan Peninsula was not only Silla, but also the Silla in the southeast, and in the face of the pressure of the Tiance Army, it was possible for the two families to work together to fight against a strong enemy in terms of layout, and it was not difficult to rely on Zheng Fan's eloquence. And the final tactical deployment was obviously also Zheng Fan's handiwork, which was obviously to use himself to attract the attention of the Tiance army, and then rely on the Silla people's unforeseen opportunity to suddenly send troops to disrupt all the other party's deployments, so as to win the final victory.

Zhu Youliang didn't speak, in fact, he rarely spoke when discussing the military situation in peacetime, but he was a good executor, and every time he formed a resolution, he would quickly implement it and implement it very well, which is why he was able to choose him as the northern patrol envoy when Zhu Youlun replaced Kang Huaiying, and Zheng Fan did not object. However, the reason why Zhu Youliang didn't speak at this time was because he always felt that Zheng Fan's deployment was problematic, but he couldn't say exactly what the problem was, but he vaguely felt that Zheng Fan thought about the other party too simply, and all the plans were based on the other party's own expectations, what if the other party saw through some of the key points? But Zheng Fan really doesn't know who the opponent opposite her is? Or did he have a backup plan and didn't say it in public?

After Zheng Fan said this, Zhu Youlun regained confidence in the decisive battle and began to deploy the affairs of the rear, and the military affairs of the rear were handed over to Kang Huaiying, Zheng Fan didn't think there was much of a problem, although Kang Huaiying's ability was not good, but he could still do it to deal with logistics in the rear and urge the troops to reinforce the front line, what really worried him was that almost all the soldiers and horses of Daliang went to Goryeo to fight a decisive battle with the Tiance army, and what would happen to the resistance forces of the Baekje people who had just been suppressed by him if they took the opportunity to make trouble? The real Han people only have more than 100,000 people brought by themselves, and the elite headquarters that can maintain 100,000 people is because some elite troops were transferred from the front line back then, and after these were transferred to the north, there are more than 3 million people in Baekje, including about 560,000 young and middle-aged people. Couldn't this be the situation that his old rival had been waiting for all these years after sending someone to lurk?

When Zheng Fan was thinking about this, he didn't know that there was a secret buried by his old opponent sitting opposite him, but Zhu Youliang hadn't started it at all before, so he couldn't have thought that his Beijing coach was actually the other party's shadow. However, as Zhu Youliang thought before, Zheng Fan actually did not have the level of Xie Tong and Jing Xiang when he planned and laid out the layout of the front line and even the way to win a decisive victory on the battlefield, what he was really good at was this way of espionage, and he liked to come up with conspiracies and tricks, of course, Zheng Fan himself did not feel that there was anything wrong with this method, and he didn't know this new word that had just spread from Chang'an. So when he considered the other party's layout, he also unconsciously brought his own thinking to the other party.

At this time, his opponent Biaozi had already left Bianzhou and arrived outside the capital of Beiyuan, which had been surrounded by Ge Cun, but the news he told Ge Cunzhou made the other party almost collapse.

"Commander Zhang, are you sure that your plan has been approved by the marshal?" Biao Zi's surname is Zhang, but outsiders don't know it very well, but at this time, Ge Cunzhou shouted out directly in a hurry, "I resolutely disagree, you are playing with fire, in case the strategy is seen through by Zheng Fan, then the entire situation of our army near Beiyuan Jing will collapse in one fell swoop, and it will also compensate all my legions." ”

"My General Ge, don't worry, listen to me." Biaozi's eyes flashed with a strange luster, and he pulled Ge Cunzhou to continue.
