As he spoke, Li De pointed to a city on the sand table. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Liu looked at his junior brother's fingers, and was immediately surprised: "Zhongshen City?!" This city has been demolished into an abandoned capital by the Tuliao people many years ago. It has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no city to rely on. ”

Li Deyi is referring to the capital city of the former Ping Zhou Dynasty, which is located in the south of Xudu Province, which was once the most prosperous place in the world for 600 years, known as the Divine City of Zhongtian, and is now a ruined Zhongshen City.

Captain Xiao Liu believed that his junior brother would not mess around, and in just a moment, he had already roughly figured out his junior brother's intentions, "Tell me what you think." ”

Li De opened his mouth and said: "First, Zhongshen City has been abandoned for many years, and the Tuliao people would never have thought that we would attack from here. This is exactly what came as a surprise. ”

"Second, Zhongshen City is the center of the world, where the Changqing River and the Huangturu River meet. After we occupy this Zhongshen City, Zhu Luchen of Shikang City in the east can smoothly transport supplies of grain and grass along the Shuangshui River. In the west, Li Shiluan can also go down the Yellow Turbidity River and transport grain and grass by water. Our Dingbei garrison regiment can also load grain and grass on ships at Xiaoqing River, go all the way to Changqing River, and transport grain and grass by waterway. ”

"Thirdly, the terrain on which Zhongshen City is located is the tenlocity of Kowloon. This place is the only high ground within a radius of hundreds of miles, and it is camped here, and with its topography, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. At that time, even if the Tuliao cavalry wants to invade our base camp, it will take a lot of trouble. "The so-called Nine Dragons are coiled, that is, there are nine suddenly uplifted mountain beams near the Zhongshen City, but they converge into a flat land in the middle, known as the top of the nine mountains, and it is a blessed land of the first class for dozens of miles in Pyongyang.

In that year, the founding Taizu of the Ping Zhou Dynasty built the capital here and called the emperor, and he also took a fancy to this terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Unexpectedly, no matter how good the terrain is, it can't stand the children and grandchildren of the losers who lack correct education.

After Li Deyi finished talking about these three advantages, he waited for his senior brother to make up his mind.

"Fourth, Zhongshen City is the place where Di Dashuai is buried. At that time, we will go to the grave of the handsome man to pay respects, and then swear to the Northern Expedition, and the morale will be high. "Captain Xiao Liu added one to his junior brother.

Although Di Dashuai has been dead for many years, the legacy he left behind has been invisibly supporting the Dingbei garrison. The tablet of the god of the Heroic Martyrs' Shrine is the requisite of all the soldiers who died in the garrison. In the hearts of all the soldiers of the garrison regiment, Di Dashuai is the hero they admire the most. If you can go to the tomb of Di Dashuai in person, it will naturally be a supreme honor.

Commander Xiao Liu nodded: "Okay, according to what you said, let's send troops to attack Zhongshen City first." Do you have a specific battle plan? Tell me about it. ”

Li De thought for a moment and said, "Senior brother, this time we have to "amphibious landing operations". ”

"What is an amphibious landing operation?"

Li Deyi said embarrassedly: "Just now, I didn't know how to pop up with such a word in my mind, and I said it casually. In fact, our soldiers took a boat north of Fancheng, went down the river, and then landed near Gyeonggi to the west of Zhongshen City, and directly took the abandoned capital Zhongshen City. On the way, you can let the sailors of Pingtang and Pingming escort all the way. ”

Commander Xiao Liu listened to his junior brother's suggestion, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "This is not appropriate, our soldiers are all recruited from the northwest dryland, and they rarely take boats. From Fancheng to Zhongshen City, it takes five days to travel by water, and I am afraid that after five days of swaying on the river, most of the soldiers will be seasick and vomit, resulting in the loss of a lot of physical strength. In case the Tuliao people get the news and wait for an ambush on the shore in advance, it will be dangerous. ”

The battle plan proposed by Li Deyi fully considered the superiority of the Tuliao cavalry, and made use of the waterway to temporarily avoid its edge when marching, which can be described as "knowing the enemy." Most of the soldiers of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment had never been on a ship, and the first time they took a boat for five consecutive days, there would inevitably be a large number of soldiers who were unwell, and after landing, their combat strength would definitely be damaged. This is exactly what "confidant" is. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

After thinking about it, Li Deyi: "Senior brother is right, our tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will travel along the river by water, and the Tuliao people will inevitably be aware of it." When the time comes, we only need to send cavalry to follow us on the shore, and we can easily use cavalry to ambush and surprise when we land. If there is a large number of seasickness among our soldiers, I am afraid that it will not be good at that time. ”

The two brothers began to frown together again and think hard about strategy. Head Xiao Liu stared at Xu Du Province on the sand table, and then looked at Zhongshen City in the south, and after a long time, he finally came up with a solution.

"Let's not do this, after the New Year, you take our garrison cavalry and Pingtang soldiers to march in the north, and after entering Xudu Province, don't panic to attack, set up camps, and attract the idea of the Liao State. I secretly took the garrison regiment to the south, boarded the ship directly at the ferry port in the south of Jiangbei Province, and then marched east along the river, so that I only needed to be in the middle of the river for two days, and then I could land directly in Zhongshen City, and quickly build a camp and defend before the Tuliao people reacted. "Commander Xiao Liu proposed a marching strategy that uses both virtual and real.

Obviously, Li Deyi set off with the cavalry from the north, but he dangled a shot. And the head of Xiao Liu took all the foot soldiers to the south and boarded the ship at the closest place to Zhongshen City, so as to shorten the time on the water as much as possible, so as to ensure that after landing, the soldiers still have sufficient physical strength to fight.

As soon as Li De heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "Senior brother is right!" In this way, our foot soldiers only need to float on the river for two days to land. At that time, the soldiers and horses of the Tuliao people had already been attracted to the north by my cavalry, where would they think of guarding against the south. ”

"Since you also agree, after the next year, you will lead the cavalry and the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Pingtang Kingdom to the east, make a noise, and attract the Tuliao cavalry. I personally led our foot soldiers to quietly go south, relying on naval ships to quickly cross the Shuangshui River and land near Zhongshen City. Xiao Liu said loudly.

"Good! Senior brother, after you set up camp, I will immediately lead the cavalry south to join you. ”

After discussing the big matter with his senior brother, Li Deyi went to his own mess.

The two brothers discussed very well, and then we will wait to see what the actual effect is.

That night, Commander Xiao Liu sent his battle plan for recovering Zhongshen City to his master in Dingbei County in that unique way of contact.

The time has entered the wax moon, although the weather is cold, but in Fancheng, the flavor of the New Year is still getting stronger and stronger. Some of the rivers near the north of Jiangbei Province had frozen, and the Dingbei garrison had to arrange for the soldiers of the Pingtang State and the Pingming State to dig the river ice every day to prevent the Tuliao cavalry from taking advantage of the freezing of the river and coming to attack and disturb.

The Dingbei garrison divided the river into sections and divided them into soldiers guarding the Pingtang and Pingming kingdoms. It was also stipulated that whoever guarded the Tuliao cavalry coming over the river was responsible, and they were not allowed to pass the buck to each other.

Probably because of the pain, the capture army never dared to cross the thunder pool for half a step, and until years ago, they never showed their bodies again. As for the Golden Wolf Cavalry, now the Emperor of Tuliao does not plan to use it easily, once another 18,000 people die, it will hurt his emperor at all. As for the wolf tooth capital and the colliding army, they have long been killed by the garrison regiment, and they are no longer of great use.

There was no war for many days, and it was almost the New Year, and the people in Fancheng gradually became active. All kinds of small businessmen, all kinds of shops, have also opened. I plan to sprint the performance before the year, so that it will be better than a fat year. Even several green buildings and prostitution halls in Fancheng opened early in the afternoon, taking advantage of the closure of the Chinese New Year to make more money.

In the midst of the bustle, the Dingbei garrison also began to prepare for the New Year. All kinds of New Year's goods began to be transported from the northwest by sleigh trucks.

Li Changle and Zhu Biao have grown so big, and it is the first time that they have been away from their parents for the New Year. Every festive season, the two of them thought of their father and queen mother at home, and then secretly touched their tears in their own room.

However, before the tears of grief could land, the two of them were surrounded by joy.

When the two of them were at home, their father was busy fighting everywhere, and even during the Chinese New Year, he often couldn't return home in time. Therefore, most of the family reunions experienced by the two of them for the New Year actually have their mothers and siblings celebrating the New Year together.

Before Li Changle's family became emperor, it was a big family in the Shang Jin Dynasty, and it also had its own set of rules during the New Year. Although Li Changle has been favored by his parents since he was a child, he must also abide by the rules at this time and not come nonsense. Otherwise, the elders of the family will be heartbroken and shout and scold. Her mother could only shed tears of grievance, but she did not dare to defend her.

In the past, her mother would take her to give New Year's gifts to her closest relatives. At this time, she must show everyone's beautiful style, and strictly follow the rules of etiquette in every word and deed, and every move. If there is a slight mistake at this time, it will become a stain on life, and when talking about marriage in the future, it will be deducted points by the judges (three aunts and six mothers-in-law).

During the Chinese New Year's Eve, her father Li Shiluan was often away from home, and only her mother took her and her brothers to observe the New Year. At this time, the faces of the brothers became tighter and tighter, and they didn't even dare to smile too much. Changle's mother was a standard good wife and mother, well-informed, and at this time, she always tried her best to comfort her children.

However, little Changle can always keenly feel the worry and unhappiness in his mother's heart.

The father is out on a war, life and death are unpredictable, but the children are celebrating with their mothers at home, where is this like words. So their family had to maintain a light sadness most of the time during the New Year.

Therefore, Changle used to celebrate the New Year, and he was not happy, and he was even more restrained than usual.

Zhu Biao is the same, even more uncomfortable than Li Changle.

His father is even more difficult than Li Shiluan. In the early days of the business, Li Shiluan still had a family to shelter from the wind and rain. And Zhu Luchen is completely self-made, fighting the world alone and empty-handed.

Zhu Luchen really abandoned his family and business for his career in those years. It's normal to not be at home for several months in a row, and there is no concept of New Year's holidays.

As the eldest son, Zhu Biao has to shoulder the responsibility of being the eldest son at a young age. His father did not return from the war, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he personally took his mother and younger siblings to observe the New Year.

Just think about it, how could Zhu Biao be happy for the New Year, during the entire New Year, he couldn't show a smiling face, and he didn't dare.

On the first day of the new year, Zhu Biao, as the eldest son, was personally responsible for worshipping his ancestors, and he must not show a smiling face, and he had to keep a cold face all day long.

But this time, in the Dingbei garrison regiment, before entering Layue, Li Changle and Zhu Biao felt a strong New Year's flavor.

Due to the strict military discipline of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment, great attention was paid to protecting the local people. Therefore, although Fancheng has experienced war, the lives of the people have not been disrupted.

Moreover, after the Dingbei garrison occupied Fancheng, it began to crack down on bullies and bandits, severely punish the inferior gentry in the countryside who bullied men and women, and the lives of the people around Fancheng were even better than in previous years.

Not to mention that the Dingbei garrison regiment does not collect taxes from the people of Fancheng, nor does it levy the people.

Moreover, in order to prepare for the New Year's goods a year ago, the Dingbei Garrison Regiment took out a large number of silver coins and openly marked prices to buy chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, sheep, grain, and so on from the people. The Dingbei garrison regiment posted a notice indicating the price, and the people drove their chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep to the camp of the Dingbei garrison regiment as if they were rushing to the market, waiting for Wang Zhuangbiao to bring the Huotou battalion to the unified purchase.

As a result, the people of Fancheng made a small fortune a year ago.

The people of Fancheng, who had money in their hands, naturally wanted to cut two feet of coarse cloth and go back to make a new dress. Or buy an iron pot, as for New Year's pictures and stickers, as well as other necessities of life, you have to buy some.

Therefore, after entering Layue, Fancheng was crowded with people every time he rushed to the market.

Li Changle and Zhu Biao, although they were far away from their parents, had a very happy time at the New Year's Fair in Fancheng. Because they can finally put aside those rules and etiquette and be honest children.
