In the third year of Jiaqing, on the night of the 19th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar, Dapeng Village, Yingshan County, Sichuan, the moonlight was bright, and a few dark clouds floated from time to time, blocking the moonlight, and hurriedly passed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At this moment, although the night of Dapeng Mountain is as quiet as before, the silence is full of strange feelings, too quiet, and the whirring wind adds to this tense atmosphere.

On Dapeng Mountain, Luo Qiqing's White Lotus Sect army is stationed here, and groups of disciples patrol around, with open and secret sentries everywhere, hiding everywhere, and monitoring things at various intersections. In the center of the stockade, the most heavily defended place of the Sect Army, a hut was lit by candlelight, and even though it was late at night, there was still a lively discussion inside, so anxious and restless.

"Chief, we have been surrounded for nearly two months, there is not much grain in the stockade, and the water in the well is about to bottom out. Otherwise, once it drags on any longer, when the ammunition is exhausted, it will be even more difficult for us to rush out again. ”

In the house, the leader is Luo Qiqing, on one side is his son, Luo Yongfu, the person who spoke was two meters in front of Luo Qiqing, his expression was very solemn, full of worry, this person's name is Xian Dachuan, one of Luo Qiqing's subordinates.

Luo Qiqing was also full of sadness, a little hesitant, acting impulsively, and said weakly: "Xian Protector, I understand what you mean, and I also know that our current situation is very dangerous and embarrassing. However, Erle Dengbao has arranged layers of heavy troops around Dapeng Village, if we break out of the encirclement now, even if we are lucky enough to escape, we will lose most of our vitality, and we will not be able to deal with the pursuers behind, so we should wait..."

At this time, Luo Yongfu stood up, not as steady as his father, facing this tense situation, he couldn't hold his breath, and said in a panic: "Father, don't wait for your uncle any longer, I don't know when his reinforcements will arrive?" If you miss the best opportunity to break through, just like the Xian Protector said, once the food and grass are consumed and the sect is hungry, it will be very difficult to rush out again. It's better to take advantage of everyone's physical strength and morale to be acceptable, and fight hard. ”

Listening to his son's persuasion, Luo Qiqing was not moved in the slightest, let alone changed his decision, he was still so stubborn. Gradually, the atmosphere in the room became stalemate, and neither side was willing to back down.

At the foot of Dapeng Mountain, in a relatively flat place, where Erle Dengbao's army is stationed, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Erle Dengbao and a cadre of generals are dressed in military uniforms, faintly revealing a sense of excitement and a certain strange emotion.

"Generals, due to the urgency of the matter, we have to act tonight, according to the pre-discussed situation, Admiral Yang Yuchun is responsible for seizing the card and attacking Dapeng Mountain, and Changling, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, is responsible for garrisoning Sunjiaping, Yilong County, to prevent the thieves from escaping there......"

At this moment, Erle Dengbao's words were interrupted by Hu Shixian, his tone was very incomprehensible, more resolute, and he repeatedly persuaded him: "My lord, why are you in such a hurry to attack Dapeng Mountain? As long as you wait for a while, the thieves on Dapeng Mountain will be short of food and water, and when the time comes, Dapeng Village will be self-defeating, and acting now will only increase casualties, which is not conducive to future operations and deployments. ”

"Moreover, once our army moves, it is a back-attack, if the war falls into a stalemate, we can't take Dapeng Mountain in a short time, the number of casualties among the soldiers will be very large, in that case, even if it wins, it will be a tragic victory, my lord, please think twice~!"

After saying the last sentence, Hu Shixian bowed, bowed his head and said no more, his attitude was very firm, as if he was waiting for an explanation.

At this moment, the surrounding generals admired Hu Shixian very much, not only saying everyone's thoughts, but also thinking the same thing, but also impressed by this bold advice!

To everyone's surprise, the grumpy Erle Dengbao in the past was not angry, but was very calm, looked at Hu Shixian, who was still bowing down to petition, and looked around, looking around left and right, and his expression became solemn.

"Generals, you are all people who I trust in Erledeng, since Hu Junshi has said this, I will no longer hide and choke, pick out the matter, and say the reason why I have to attack Dapeng Village in advance."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's nerves immediately tensed, and some kind of ominous premonition in their hearts was very likely to occur, and some gossip heard recently may not be rumors.

"Presumably you have also heard some news, there is a problem with our grain and grass supply, and the supply cannot be up for a while, and the reinforcements from Hubei and Hunan have not arrived, so far there is no news, Le Bao and I have sent several people to Hubei and Hunan, but there is still no information coming."

"There has been no news for so long, and it is clear that something unexpected must have happened in Hubei and Hunan, making it impossible for grain, grass and reinforcements to enter Sichuan. And, as you know, Lebao and I have not had a good relationship. If we continue to drag on and implement the previous plan, even if we annihilate Luo Qiqing and other rebels, we will suffer heavy casualties and will not be able to replenish our troops for a while. ”

Erden Paused and looked at the crowd's reactions.

At this moment, the atmosphere is very solemn and somewhat depressing, and all the people present are the direct subordinates of Erle Dengbao, who have been directly or indirectly promoted by Erle Dengbao, or belong to the same camp and have the same interests.

Therefore, although everyone panicked, they did not mess up, and Hu Shixian even said and analyzed: "Well... My lord, I understand, if we continue to wait for the rabbit like this, we will not only face the problem of lack of food and grass, but once the original plan is implemented in the later stage, we will also face the crazy counterattack of Luo Qiqing and other anti-thieves, in that case, our army will inevitably have a large number of casualties, making the self-protection force insufficient, and it is very likely to be besieged by other White Lotus Sect anti-thieves. ”

Hu Shixian stopped analyzing, did not exhaust it, and there was still a layer of danger that was not mentioned, that is, after he and others were consumed, they faced the siege and surprise attack of other anti-thieves, and they did not need to count on the support of Le Bao, the governor of Sichuan.

Since ancient times, above the officialdom, there are not only civil officials who dump each other, but also military attachés who do not save themselves when they see death, wishing that their competitors would die in the hands of the enemy.

Those present are all people who understand, and a little bit, they all understand.

However, from the beginning to the end, everyone's focus was on attacking and self-preservation, but no one proposed to retreat. At this time, a low-level general in the corner whispered to the people around him: "General Hu, since there are many unknown dangers, why don't you retreat first and preserve our strength?" ”

For a while, General Hu was a little nervous, looked around cautiously, and saw that no one noticed the two of them, so he whispered to the man: "Alas, I said that you are an elm head, didn't your lord say it?" At present, there is a problem with our grain and grass supply, and there is not much grain in stock, if there is a big war first, although there will be some casualties, and then retreat at that time, we will not be criticized by others, saying that we will retreat without a fight, there will be a lot less trouble, and ......"

General Hu took a deep look at the man, said the last two words meaningfully, and his voice was very long, so he stopped speaking, regained his composure, looked at Erle Dengbao, and listened to a series of orders.

The man understood that the reason why he had to fight this battle was not only to make the retreating division famous, but also to reduce the number of soldiers, so that the existing grain and grass could be supported for a longer time, and whether or not he could completely exterminate the rebels was not considered.

For a moment, the general showed sadness, a feeling of sadness, and sighed secretly: "Alas... The life of my Han soldiers is worthless, and when it is used, it is the role of cannon fodder, and when it is tense and critical, it will be sacrificed at the forefront. ”
