Chapter 131

Liang Jian looked at everyone, took a deep breath in secret, pointed to the sand table and continued:

"This auxiliary road, although it seems to be long and difficult to travel, is actually just a three-point series," he stepped forward, first picked up the nearest black flag, and said aloud:

"The first point, Dingbian City," then put it down, and his finger slid north along a line on the left side of Dingbian City, until another relatively large black flag, and said: "The second point, Zhongliang City," and then he directly pressed his hand on the last flag, and said in a deep voice: "The last is Broken Leaf City!" ”

After speaking, Liang Jian paused, looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone, have you ever found that this road is different from the previous main road?" ”

After hearing this, everyone got up one after another and looked at the sand table, only Yan Shuo and Liu Xiu did not stand up after playing, but turned their heads to look at each other and smiled.

In the hall, after everyone whispered to each other, they saw Wang Huaiyi stand up and reply: "The Dingbian-Yaonan-Broken Leaves route is the shortest, and the distance is relatively easy to walk, but there are many passes, while the other auxiliary line is tortuous and circuitous, the road is long and difficult to travel, but there are relatively few city passes on the road. ”

Liang Jian nodded after hearing this, and said with a smile: "What Lord Wang said is extremely true, but there is another difference, does Lord Wang know?" ”

Wang Huaiyi shook his head, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Please General Liang for advice." ”

Liang Jian looked at him, then at the other ministers and generals in the hall, and saw that no one answered, so he smiled slightly, and replied with his finger on the sand table:

"Everyone, please look at this place," he said, reaching out to take the black flag marking Zhongliang City, placing it behind a "mountain and river" in the north, and said:

"I don't know how high this mountain is, and I don't know its name, I will have my own Lord Wanyan to explain to you, I only know that this place is called 'Shangrao', which is one of the most prosperous places in the west of Yan Kingdom, there is a plain in front of this mountain, the land is fertile, and it is rich in food,"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Yan Shuo, Wan Yan Shuo's profound gaze flashed, nodded, Liang Jian smiled in return, reached out to pick up the black flag, and continued:

"You all know that Shangguan Yu was summoned into the capital by Murong Dan to plan a 'rebellion', but you don't know that Shangguan Yu's place of rebellion is here."

He solemnly placed the black flag in his hand there and went to Rao City.

Inside the hall, there was silence.

After a while, Wang Huaiyi stood up, faced Liu Xiu, and asked astringently: "Lord Liang's analysis is very reasonable, since this is the case, I don't know which way His Highness wants to attack?" ”

Liu Xiu stood up, smiled slightly, his face was calm, and he looked confident, his gaze swept over the faces of everyone, and he saw that although they had a resolute look on their faces, there were also many people, and their faces showed confusion.

Which way to focus on?

I'm afraid that's what they think in their hearts.

Everyone was waiting for him to make a decision, waiting for him to order the Northern Expedition, and when his fingers stretched out, it was time for the army to pull out.

He seemed to see the expectant and passionate gazes of countless soldiers behind them.

is about to go north to attack the hundred-year-old feud, send troops to protect their homeland from intrusion in the future, and kill all the enemies who will never die, this is the biggest duty of these soldiers in this life!

They were all waiting for themselves, as if they felt a heaviness, Liu Xiu took a deep breath in his heart, but he would never give up!

This is the first step in the true sense of the word, and he must win a big victory, step on the blood Yan country, and smash the leaves!

It seemed that in an instant, his face glowed with extreme confidence, which made people feel moved.

Liu Xiu turned his gaze to the sand table, did not walk over, but stood still far away, stretched out his hand and pointed there, and said with a smile:

"This king wants to feint and attack in two ways, but he will not attack either."

There was a dead silence in the venue, and there was no sound, only what Liu Xiu just said rang back and forth in everyone's ears, and it never dispersed.

Either way.

Everyone was frowning and pondering, and in the hall, there was a deathly silence, and even Wan Yanshuo looked contemplative, as if he didn't know about it.

After a while, Liang Jian hesitated, and finally spoke: "The last general doesn't know the meaning of His Highness's words."

Liu Xiu glanced at him and said with a smile: "You just analyzed it very well, King Wei only asked you to be a small commander of the hidden army, which really buried talents" Seeing that Liang Jian wanted to be humble, Liu Xiu waved his hand, blocked his words, turned his head to look at everyone, and continued:

"In fact, you know in your hearts that the army in Pingyan City is only 200,000 at most, and there are nearly 100,000 defenders within one city in Yan Kingdom, and for more than 100 years, our army has rarely made a northern expedition, and we know very little about the topography of Yan Kingdom," he pointed to the sand table and continued: "Even this sand table is still a summary of our country's scouts who have gone deep into the enemy territory over the years, so if we rush to send troops, not to mention reaching Broken Leaves, I'm afraid that even Yaonan and Zhongliang, we won't be able to get there." ”

After a pause, Liu Xiu said again: "What's more, General Liang also said just now that the climate of Yan is very different from that of Wei Guo, and in early winter, the wind and sand are too big, and it is more difficult to march, so this king is determined not to attack any way." ”

Everyone nodded their heads, but they were even more confused, why bother to summon a meeting of people in the council chamber instead of ordering a solid defense?

Seeing that everyone's doubts were even worse than before, Liu Xiu smiled and said:

"But this king also wants to go both ways," Seeing Wang Huaiyi's brows furrowed, he stood up and wanted to speak, Liu Xiu waved his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and said:

"Murong Dan deliberately showed weakness to us, so that the defense of Dingbian City was weak, so that I could lead the army to the north, and then make more arrangements, deliberately set up troops on the auxiliary road, and increase troops to defend at the main road pass, so as to contain the main force of our army, so that I could not return to help," he paused, stretched out his fingers, pointed in the direction of Pingyan City from afar, smiled coldly, and said:

"Murong Dan has gone around in such a big circle, in fact, his original intention is not to defend, but to attack."

After speaking, he put his hands behind his back, glanced at everyone, and continued:

"Yan is a good country, and because the land is barren, the people are short of food all the year round, so it is normal for the army to go south to attack me and plunder the people, so there are quite a lot of standing troops in Yan country, even if you remove the soldiers who defend the city in various places, you can use it to attack my Pingyan, I am afraid that there are 100,000 people, if my army goes north and is restrained in Yaonan and Zhongliang, the Yan army will go south, and it will be a matter of time before Pingyan City is broken."

Everyone was silent in thought, thinking about Liu Xiu's words repeatedly, and they all felt extremely reasonable, and for a while, the hall fell silent again.

Silence.

Liu Xiu stood quietly for a while, and when he saw that there was no opponent in everyone, his eyes flashed, and he said:

"Fortunately, now Yan Guo doesn't know the reality of my Pingyan City, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in my city, so this king decided to take a risk and divide the troops into three roads, one of which is the elite to defend Pingyan, waiting for the Yan army to go south, and the other two roads, first join forces to attack Dingbian, after the city is broken, after dividing into two roads, go north to attack Yaonan and Zhongliang two cities, and after Pingyan's victory, all the auxiliary road soldiers will close to the main road, storm Zhongliang City, all the way to the north, and smash the leaves!"

When everyone heard that Liu Xiu's tactics were extremely reasonable, they all nodded in agreement and whispered to each other, but no one raised any objections.

Liu Xiu looked at everyone, coughed lightly, pressed down with both hands, focused everyone's eyes on him, and said in a deep voice:

"Since you all have no objections, then prepare accordingly, this king will arrange the three-way commander now, if you feel that there is something inappropriate after hearing it, but it is okay to say."

He ignored everyone's surprise and opened his mouth, saying:

"The main general of the Middle Route Army is Wan Yanshuo, and the deputy generals Wang Huaiyi and Zhang Lie; Liang Jian, the chief general of the auxiliary route army, and Deng Fei and Li Liang, deputy generals; The chief general of the Pingyan garrison is served by the king, and the deputy generals guard Shen Yun and Zhao Zheng. ”

After speaking, everyone's hearts moved, and they all looked at Liang Jian.

Others are easy to say, after all, Wan Yan Shuo and Liu Xiu are quite popular, have outstanding abilities, and are worthy of great responsibilities, but it is unthinkable for everyone to make Liang Jian and his "Hidden Army" generals the main generals of the auxiliary road army, even Wan Yan Shuo has a different color, and Liang Jian is even more shocked and at a loss.

However, although everyone disagreed, they also knew that Liu Xiu's appointment had been made, and it was difficult to change it, and it seemed that the candidates had already been arranged, not on a whim, so everyone fell silent.

Liu Xiu saw that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, and there was a complicated and incomprehensible light in his eyes, he didn't explain too much, and said lightly:

"Okay, since you have no objections, it's decided, the big war is imminent, I hope you will go back and make more preparations, work together to defeat Beiyan, achieve immortal deeds, leave a name in history, and recite through the ages!"

All the people stood up together, shouted in unison, and said:

"I am willing to serve His Royal Highness, I am willing to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, swear to destroy the Yan Kingdom, and achieve great things!"

After Liu Xiu discussed the details of the dispatch and the scheduling of grain and grass with everyone, everyone said goodbye respectively.

Since Liang Jian was sitting in the innermost part of the corner, by the time he walked out, most of the generals had already left, even Wan Yan Shuo had left the conference hall.

Liang Jian walked out of it, and was just about to ask Liu Xiu for his resignation, when he saw Liu Xiu smile at him, beckoned, pointed to the position next to him, and said:

"Sit down, this king has something to ask you."

Liang Jian sat down as he said, Liu Xiu pointed to the direction of the sand table, at this moment, on the seat, looking in this direction, I saw a kind of majestic grandeur on the sand table.

It even gives people the illusion that they are looking at the world.

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, and he didn't turn his head, looked at the sand table and said with a little emotion:

"Actually, this sand table has been formed for less than a year," as if caught in a memory, Liu Xiu's expression flashed a strange look, and he said leisurely:

"This sand table is the king in the first rush to Pingyan, in the war against Yan sent scouts to Yan to do, at that time, when the Yan army surrounded the city, this king thought about the northern expedition to Yan, and now this day has finally arrived!"

He turned his head to look at Liang Jian and said, "Can you understand the mood of this king?" ”

Liang Jian nodded, lowered his head and replied, "Yes." ”I1387
