Chapter 507: The Overall Situation and the Foregone Conclusion

Zhou Yafu thought about it, and he couldn't think of who the big man was talking about. ，

But before, he was praised too high by Wang Xirang, and if he couldn't say a reason, wouldn't he be cowardly in front of the juniors?

After a deep groan, Zhou Yafu groped his chin and pretended to say in a deep voice: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed!" ”

Anyway, regardless of the stunned Wang Xirang behind him, he rode his horse away.

"Old goods!" Behind him, Wang Xirang, who came back to his senses, scolded angrily.

After scolding for a while, Wang Xirang drove his horse forward.

It's just that when I raised my head, I suddenly saw a small black dot in the sky approaching quickly.

Gather your eyes and see clearly that the little black dot is the flying eagle used in the army to transmit messages. Wang Xirang was stunned for a moment, and his heart sank slightly.

Hai Dongqing?

Is this a letter from Lao Zhan?

This bird of prey, known as Haidongqing, is a unique messenger tool specially approved by the military division for the snow wolf brigade. Fly high and fly far. And it's extremely fast, so it's not easy to capture. The security is extremely high.

Yesterday, I heard from the military advisor that Zhanxiong and the others had left the Heshuo region as early as a month ago, and it is estimated that they have reached the front of the Turkic royal court.

Could it be that something happened again?

Wang Xirang, who was uneasy in his heart, turned his head and glanced at Hou San, and hurriedly rode towards the front of the team.

After passing, I found that Zhou Yafu was talking to the military advisor. Judging from Old Man Zhou's eyebrows and dancing expression, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

The princes and princes glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

After Lu Heng saw the second general coming, he smiled slightly, and beckoned: "You guys came just in time!" ”

As he spoke, Lu Heng handed the military report in his hand to Wang Xirang. ，

Wang Xirang took it and hurriedly glanced at it. After seeing a few lines on the military newspaper, his eyes widened, and he asked incredulously: "The Kedun of the Turkic Khan King is actually in Shuofang?" ”

"I'll see, I'll see!" On the side, Hou San was also taken aback when he heard the news, and hurriedly took the military report, and after taking a look, he was also surprised: "It's really Kedun!" ”

Hou San flipped through the military newspaper excitedly, and after reading it for a while, he was suddenly taken aback, as if he had discovered a new continent, and said excitedly: "Turkic Kedun, that, that's not ...... Did you marry a Turkic concubine two years ago? ”

As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Mochou, who was sitting quietly in the distance, suddenly moved, and a look of shock flashed in his beautiful eyes. turned his head and looked at Lu Heng fixedly.

On the side, seeing this, Wang Xirang secretly stretched out his foot and kicked Hou San, gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" ”

Seeing Wang Xirang pouting, he pointed to the military advisor with a solemn face, and the military advisor's wife not far away. Hou San suddenly realized.

After smiling at Lu Heng embarrassedly, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

On the side, Zhou Yafu thought for a long time, frowned, and said: "Since the Turkic Kedun knew that my Great Zhou army had set foot on the grassland, why didn't he leave as soon as possible, but stayed in Shuofang without moving?" ”

"Is it acting as bait? Lure us into the bait? On the side, Hou San groped his chin and frowned.

Lu Heng glanced at Ouyang Mochou and saw that she was still sitting there, playing with the blades of grass in her hands motionlessly. With a slight sigh of relief in his heart, he turned his head, looked at Zhou Yafu and Hou San, and nodded slightly: "There is a possibility." However, I think it's more likely to be an unintentional move. They can't get out. I can only stay in Shuofang! And the Turkic royal court, taking this opportunity, happened to increase the troops to the south and opened this huge encirclement. ”

Unintentional move?

The general thought about it for a long time, but he was still puzzled: "Please also ask the military advisor to make it clear!" ”。 ，

After thinking about it, Lu Heng asked Agui to spread out the map, stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of Shuofang City: "It's very simple, there are tens of thousands of horses of the King of Huainan blocking the road in the west, and the south is the territory of my Great Zhou, and in the east, our 200,000 army is not vegetarian." To the north, the current hussar general wreaked havoc on the steppes like a mad wolf. The safest place can only be this Shuofang! ”

"Shuofang is the place we must take, and the Turks understand this." Lu Heng's expression was calm, and he said in a deep voice: "They also recognized the situation that the princess could not escape from Shuofang and returned to the royal court safe and sound. Since this is the case, they simply let the princess stay in Shuofang. Add a seasoning to the tempting bait of Shuofang City. Lure us into the bait! ”

"Then, they shot 300,000 troops to the south, just to annihilate our middle route army under Shuofang City. What a vicious plan! On the side, Wang Xirang's eyes flashed with anger, and he patted his thighs and scolded.

"That's not all!" After Lu Heng glanced at General Zhong lightly, he continued: "They should know the strength of our mid-lane army, and send 300,000 troops south, if it is just for our 200,000 people, they can afford us too much." Their ultimate goal should be to contain the hussar general in the north and bring him back to defense. In this way, the danger of the royal court will be relieved. Then ......"

Speaking of this, Lu Heng used the straw stick in his hand to draw a westward arrow on the map, pointing directly to the Huainan Wang's headquarters on the west side.

"You mean that their ultimate goal is the prince?" Hou's face was as black as carbon on three sides, and the murderous intent in his eyes collapsed.

"That's the first possibility!" Lu Heng nodded, and said unhurriedly: "The second is that if the hussar generals ignore the middle route army, then they should directly kill us." Then, it will wave south, pass through Yanmen, and point to Taiyuan and Tokyo! ”

"Siege Wei to save Zhao!" On the side, Zhou Yafu's eyes lit up and said in a deep voice.

"That's right, that's right. That's pretty much it! After Lu Heng threw away the straw stick in his hand, he patted the dust on his hand and said indifferently: "These two possibilities, you can attack and retreat." It's a clever plan! ”

"Cunning rabbit three caves, when did the Turks become so cunning?" Zhou Yafu frowned and glanced at the extreme arrow drawn by the military advisor on the map. I was restless and scolded.

"Maybe there's someone to give you advice! Hehe. Who knows! Lu Heng was stunned for a moment and said with a smile.

However, although it is said that it is so. But Lu Heng was still surprised because of his own words.

Judging from the examples of previous years, the Turks used their troops this time to show a completely different style from the past.

In the past, the Turks used their soldiers mainly to be fierce and fierce, and they typically played straight. But this time, there is an endless stream of clever ideas. Could it be that there are really masters who can't give advice?

"What are we going to do?" Wang Xirang is most concerned about what to do with his own troops now. The Turkic army of 300,000 will be able to reach Shuofang in eight days at most. At that time, the Middle Route Army alone would not be able to resist 300,000 Turkic cavalry.

"Why don't you let the hussar generals go back to defense? Or is it a strategic feint to attract the attention of the Turks? On the side, Qin Shihu, who had been silent, hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.

"No need!" Lu Heng shook his head, waved his hand and said, "If you let Wang Gongye's army return to defense, it will just fall into the strategy of the Turks." At that time, the Turks exterminated the 100,000 army of the Huainan King at the expense of Shuofang. We can't afford it! ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Xirang turned his head and looked at Lu Heng worriedly.

"We'll do it ourselves!" Lu Heng stretched out his finger, knocked on the location of Shuo Fang on the map, and said in a deep voice: "In this battle, our middle route army will start by ourselves."

"Then in case, we are pinned down under Shuofang City, and when the 300,000 Turkic iron cavalry arrives, won't we be in a desperate situation?" Wang Xirang asked anxiously.

"So, in seven days, we must take Shuo Fang!" Seeing Wang Xirang's worried look, Lu Heng didn't care at all, but said with a smile: "As long as we take Shuofang, with Shuofang's city defense, it is enough to resist the attack of 300,000 troops!" If God helps, there may be an unexpected surprise! ”

Seeing Wang Xirang and other generals, they were still frowning. Lu Heng smiled slightly, and he also knew that they were worried about the difficulty of attacking the city. Stretched out his hand and pressed it on Wang Xirang's shoulder, and said lightly: "Don't worry, it is estimated that tomorrow, the thirty cannons personally escorted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be delivered!" Plus the original more than twenty stuffed artillery pieces in the troops. Don't tell me, fifty artillery pieces can't capture Shuofang! ”

"Really?" Wang Xirang's eyes lit up, he stood up suddenly, and asked incredulously.

Just now he was still worried, Shuofang City was strong. If you rely solely on siege, it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. But unexpectedly, the military division had already thought of this, and directly transferred thirty artillery pieces from the rear.

With such a divine weapon, let alone Shuofang, even Yinshan can be flattened.

The rest of the generals immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news. However, after seeing that the military division handed over the command of the siege to Wang Xirang, the cadres were red-eyed and jealous.

Lu Heng laughed and nodded, "Of course it's true!" ”

After seeing the generals frowning and looking relaxed, Lu Heng also relaxed.

Glancing at the side, behind the fast-moving army. Lu Heng's heart moved, thought about it, and asked Zhou Yafu: "By the way, where is Xu Liang now?" ”

……

At the foot of Yin Mountain, the wilderness is vast, and the sky is high and wide.

In the blue sky, a few white clouds floated. In the vast grassland, cast patches of shadows. The dazzling sunlight sprinkled on the grassland. With the shadow cast by the white clouds, it forms a pattern of light and dark.

The vast grassland, decorated by this mottled light and shadow, is like a magnificent picture.

At the exit of the mountain pass, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was bearded and extremely embarrassed, was dressed in extremely tattered linen, like a refugee fleeing the famine. His eyes were dumbfounded, his mouth was wide open, and he looked at the vast grassland scenery in front of him. He muttered in surprise: "Niang Xipi, this is the grassland!" ”

The sackcloth garments on his body, which had been cut by rocks and branches, had become a curtain for the door. In the strong cold wind, whirring and shaking. The wind is incomparable.

Behind him, thousands of unkempt Da Zhou soldiers also had the same expression, looking at the spectacular scenery in front of them in amazement. looks like a hillbilly entering Beijing.
