Outside the city of Yangzhou, the Tang army camp. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After reading Changzhou's latest battle report, Wang Pu breathed a sigh of relief, and even showed a smile, "Although Qian Yuanqian has suffered some losses, he has never been defeated in the end, Changzhou can have such a situation, although it is not good, but it is not bad." ”

Mo Li chuckled and said, "In my opinion, there is no good or bad situation in the war, only whether the goal is accomplished. Qian Yuanqian possessed Wuxi and held on to the Wu army, and we hoped that he would hold back a part of the Wu army's strategic goal, and it was realized. ”

The outcome of the Battle of Changzhou was unacceptable to both Wu Yue and Wu Guo, and the only party that could accept it was the Tang Dynasty.

In other words, in the Battle of Changzhou, Wu Yue and Wu Guo did not reap the benefits, and each lost its troops and lost its generals, and the only party that benefited was the Tang Dynasty. Wu Yue and Wu Guo were both weakened by the Battle of Changzhou, and the Tang Dynasty was naturally "happy to see it".

And because the two armies still have combat power, they will continue to fight each other in the future, and waste money, food, and armor, which is a great burden for Wu Yue and Wu - Wu Guo cannot give up Changzhou, which was the case before, and now it is even more so, and if Changzhou is given up at this time, Wu Yue, who has been calculated, will not be satisfied with Changzhou, and will inevitably move inch by inch and continue to advance westward, so that Wu will be completely troubled.

On the one hand, Wu Yue did not complete the errand assigned by the Tang Dynasty, and on the other hand, Wu Yue also needed to capture Changzhou to make up for his losses.

Wu Yue and Wu continued to fight in Changzhou, which was the situation that Datang wanted to see the most, and even more than Wu Yue successfully getting Changzhou.

If this war continues, the consumption of Wu is the consumption of the enemy country, and the consumption of Wu Yue is the weakening of the feudal town, how can the Tang Dynasty not be happy?

When it was over, Wang Pu said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the battle of Changzhou would be so far, and there would be an unexpected gain, which can be described as unintentionally planting willows and willows." ”

"Unintentionally inserted willows? Definitely. Mo Li's smile was deep, "The sandpiper and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits." The reason why the imperial court asked Wu Yue to send troops was not here? ”

Wang Pu was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful, really wonderful!" ”

Mo Li's folding fan shook gently, his sideburns moved slightly, and he suddenly became confused.

Liu Jin, Huainan Su Jiangye; Lu Jiang, Kuai Ao, Huainan Junyan; Qian Yuanjun, Qian Hua, Yue Di people. This time, these people are fighting with each other, each of them is extremely wise and strong, calculating with each other is swords, and the two armies are fighting corpses all over the field.

As everyone knows, no matter how these people show their talents, no matter how wonderful they fight, in fact, they are just dancing on the stage built for them by the prince - then Lu Jiang and Kuai Ao tried their best to invite you into the urn and want to eat Qian Yuanqian in Changzhou, but they didn't know that they entered the prince's urn from the beginning!

Thinking of this, Mo Li's eyes became distant, as if he had seen Luoyang thousands of miles away, the East Palace in the Shendu City, and the heroic and merry person, he whispered: "Time passes, like a white horse passing through a gap, and before I know it, half a year has passed...... Brother Li, I miss this place very much......"

......

Jinling.

After getting the Changzhou battle report, Xu Zhihe sat alone in the study and remained silent for a long time.

Of course, he knew what an unfavorable situation the stalemate in the battle of Changzhou was for the Wu State, and in the short term, at least the 20,000 soldiers and horses who were divided in Changzhou could not escape and could not cross the river north to Jianghuai to participate in the war.

Jianghuai has a total of more than 100,000 Tang troops, which should not be underestimated, although now scattered everywhere, giving Wu the opportunity to do something, the situation is quite favorable, but Xu Zhihe originally did not dare to say that he would win, and now there are only 80,000 soldiers going north, so he has no such thoughts.

However, Xu Zhihe did not regret setting up an ambush in Changzhou, the Jianghuai war continued to this day, Wu Yue wanted to use troops to the west, there is no doubt that there would be a war in Changzhou, it was inevitable, and he had to deal with it. As long as he doesn't sacrifice the land, he will have to fight this war with Wu Yue, the difference is only in how to fight.

The ambush failed to succeed, and the situation in Changzhou was certainly deadlocked, but if the ambush was not set, would the Wu army have won a big victory?

"In the end, I underestimated Qian Yuanqian." Xu Zhihe thought to himself, and as soon as this thought came out, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Qian Yuanqian has a few catties and a few taels, Xu Zhihe, who has fought with him in the past, knows best, he has read the detailed battle report of the Battle of Changzhou, Lu Jiang, Kuai Ao, and Liu Jin have no mistakes in their implementation strategies, and they have done well enough.

"JAC Mo Shenji...... The problem is still with Mo Li. Xu Zhihe came to a conclusion, he thought: If it weren't for Qian Yuanqian being restrained by Mo Li, and being reminded by Mo Li of the succession to the throne from time to time, Qian Yuanqian would not suddenly become so cautious - according to this, this Mo Li is really not a waste of fame, although others are in Jianghuai, it is very likely that they can see the abnormality of Changzhou only based on the battle report.

With this thought, Xu Zhihe felt extremely reasonable, and continued to think: Under Mo Li's strict order, Qian Yuanqian was always vigilant, although he was angry and attacked Changzhou for a long time, he was still able to maintain some sobriety, so that he could see what he couldn't see originally, and find some clues from the clues......

Xu Zhihe stood up, paced back and forth in the study with his hands in his hands, pondered carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Mo Li's demeanor was not good for this person, and he could even be called terrible, "Being a hundred miles away, without sending a single soldier, can actually influence the battle situation in Changzhou, so that my good strategy will come to naught, what kind of person is this?!" ”

"Mo Shenji, Mo Shenji...... Clever calculation, anticipating the enemy first...... If I have such great talents, why worry about not succeeding in great things? Xu Zhihe suddenly punched the desk angrily, he remembered that in the past six months, Wu Guo had repeatedly come up with good strategies and tricks, and used elite soldiers to go north, many of which were unexpected, but they all let Mo Li crack them one by one, and half of them failed to achieve the expected results.

Xu Zhihe couldn't help but compare the strategists around him with Mo Li, and compared them to find that no one had such a great talent - Song Qiqiu was better than the battle formation and slightly shorter than the battle array, Zhou Zong was good at the details but the pattern was not enough, and Shi Xubai ...... This person knows that there are gains and losses in persuading me!

There are other people, even though they are not small in politics, but in terms of military attainments, they are difficult to compare with Mo Li. There are also some generals, although they are also talented, but they always feel that it is almost meaningful, and there is no shortage of young people with outstanding qualifications, but in the end, they are not experienced enough, and they are far from growing to the point where they can dominate the overall situation.

The more I thought about it, the more unbalanced Xu Zhihe's mood became, "This person actually has the talent of Kong Ming and a pharmacist, but he can't meet it......" Thinking of this, Xu Zhihe's heart rose with anger for no reason, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Li Congjing, how virtuous are you, you actually made you have such a great talent?!" ”

It's clearly jealous to the extreme.

......

Splendid Pavilion.

Shi Xubai asked for a transparent private room on the second floor, and watched the singing and dancing performances on the high platform in the hall while drinking.

After Ge Sanniang and Su Hongsleeves left, the Splendid Pavilion fell into the hands of others, probably because they deeply recognized the original decoration style, and they did not renovate it after it was reopened, and the lighting decoration of the attic was basically maintained in its original appearance.

However, it is precisely because of this that Shi Xubai feels the melancholy of things and people, the wine is still the original wine, but the taste is no longer as before.

Few people know that Shi Xubai has a deep affection for Jinxiu Pavilion, which is also what makes him different from many people, when he first arrived in Jinling and had nowhere to stay, with a few poems and articles, he almost enjoyed the free treatment of Qinglou, not only his romance, but also his affection.

Ge Sanniang and Su Hongsleeve are all wonderful people in Shi Xubai's opinion, but unfortunately they will never be seen again.

Shi Xubai drank the wine in his glass, sighed lightly, and was about to get up to leave, but before he could stand up, someone sat in front of her.

Seeing this person, Shi Xubai didn't rush to leave, because in his opinion, the person in front of him was also a wonderful person.

A woman who can walk in the Qinglou without dressing up as a man and walking in the Qinglou with the dignity of a daughter is naturally a wonderful person.

"At the moment, the state affairs are tight, and Mr. has time to drink and dance here, should I say that Mr. is unruly, or should I say that Mr. is not doing his job?" Lin Anxin sat behind the desk, smiling with two points of fun.

Shi Xubai smiled and said, "Isn't Sishou Lin the same?" ”

Lin Anxin picked up the wine glass and looked at it in front of him, and said quietly: "I am different from Mr., I really have nothing to do." ”

Shi Xubai smiled unabated, "But in my opinion, Lin Sishou is not a person who is happy to be an idler." ”

Lin Anxin didn't answer, but asked: "The battle of Changzhou has reached a stalemate, what does Mr. think?" ”

"Now that the battle of Changzhou has reached a stalemate, what else is there to say?" Shi Xubai seemed to be interested again, and called for another pot of wine, "What Lin Sishou wants to ask, I'm afraid it's the Jianghuai war, right?" ”

Lin Anxin smiled and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Mr. ”

The wine lady sent a pot of Shi Frozen Spring, poured a glass for Shi Xubai, and then twisted his waist and left, Shi Xubai tasted the wine and said: "At this time when you and I are talking, Jianghuai is only afraid that there is a big war, but the battle report will not be transmitted back for a day, and it will not be able to make arbitrary judgments." ”

Putting down the wine glass, Shi Xubai reminisced, this tasteless wine actually had a mellow meaning at this time, "But the battle of Jianghuai is a decisive battle between the two places, and it is related to the future of the two places. ”

"Really?" Lin An'an's eyes were playful, "I don't know if Mr. wants to lead the troops into battle, or does he want to go alone?" ”

Shi Xubai finally laughed out loud at this point, "I have never led a soldier, how dare I take the lives of soldiers as child's play, it's better to go alone!" ”

Lin Anxin's smile was quite meaningful, "Mr. is a scholar, and he went to the war-torn place alone, but he was afraid that his life would be in danger overnight. ”

Shi Xubai smiled and did not answer.

Lin Anxin's expression suddenly changed, his eyes were sharp, and he said word for word: "Mr. should it be, you want to join the enemy, right?" ”

Shi Xubai said calmly: "Where do you start with this? ”

Lin Anxin sneered: "Since Mr. entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, he has made many comments on major events, but as far as I know, the Prime Minister seems to have few ideas. Since Mr. is not useful in Jinling, he has the heart to go north to join the enemy, isn't it logical? ”

Shi Xubai laughed again, drank a glass of wine, and then looked at Lin Anxin and said, "In this way, shouldn't Lin Sishou go north?" ”

Lin Anxin stared at Shi Xubai and didn't speak for a while.

Shi Xubai drank himself and was at ease.

In the end, Lin Anxin took the lead in compromising, and sighed faintly, "I can't do anything for the enemy." ”

Shi Xubai smiled like a fox, "So-and-so also thinks so." ”

Lin Anxin glared at Shi Xubai angrily, looked at the cup on the table and stopped talking.

Shi Xubai said at this time: "If you don't go to Jianghuai to see the battle situation, it doesn't hurt." ”
