On the 10th day of October, Anju, the upper reaches of the Wulie River, the Parrot River.
The Parrot River is hidden in the mountains, the withered yellow grass and trees shiver in the cold mountain wind, and the early winter chill is extremely pressing. Here the small river is murmuring, the strange rocks are numerous, the cliffs on both sides are steep, it is a place that is inaccessible, but there are two armies of tigers and hussars quietly hidden.
Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming stood on the hill by the river, clothed in thick wool, facing the whistling cold wind, looking eastward. Mountains and forests in the distance stretch with no end in sight.
"It's just early winter, and the temperature drops so much that people are caught off guard." Lu Xingxing looked up at the gloomy sky, a trace of uneasiness passed through his heart, he turned his head to look at the guide behind him, and asked with a pleasant face, "In your place, will it snow in early winter?" ”
The guide was a mountain hunter in his fifties, a descendant of the Xianbei Duan clan, thin and lean, looking forward to returning to Middle-earth, full of hatred for the Xi people who had occupied their ancestral land, and overjoyed to see the Middle-earth army finally come in and regain Anzhou. Hearing Lu Xingxing's inquiry, the old man named Duan Shan shook his hand, "General, please be relieved, although there is occasional snow in our place in early winter, but in my experience, it will definitely not be this year, and the first snow this winter will not fall until at least October." ”
"When did the river freeze?" Guo Ming asked.
"It's usually around mid-November." Duan Shan replied, "Even if the severe cold comes early this winter, it will not be earlier than November." ”
Lu Xingxing and Guo Ming looked at each other, and the melancholy in their eyes was even stronger. Once the Turks and the Donghu tribes roar and kill, the alliance may be difficult to parry in the case of an unstable foothold, so time is precious, the alliance must defeat the Xi army before the river freezes, destroy the enemy all the way, and then concentrate on fighting against the Turks and the Donghu species from both sides of the weak Luoshui. It's just that Ah Huizheng is very clever and has a clear understanding of the current battle situation, and does not take the initiative to seek battle, but patiently waits for the opportunity to counterattack and waits for the rescue of the Turks, which brings considerable difficulties to the alliance to annihilate the enemy.
At this moment, several scouts rushed to the hill with the river rushing wildly.
Lu Xingxing and Guo Mingqi looked at each other and greeted each other.
The order of the general manager Li Fengyun was delivered as quickly as possible, yesterday the Xi army began to cross the river, the plan to lure the enemy has been successful, please Tiger Ben and Hussar two armies to act quickly, out of the Parrot River, along the east bank of the Wulie River to the south quickly, occupy all the Jinkou on the east bank, cut off the retreat of the Xi army.
"Ah Hui is in the middle of the plan." Lu Xingxing was overjoyed, "As long as we capture the east bank of Wulie Water, there is no way back, and Ah Hui is unable to fly." ”
"Don't be careless." Guo Ming said, "Ah Hui is cautious, may not attack with all his might, and the army under his command may not all cross the river, once it leaves a receiving army on the east bank of the Wulie River, as soon as we show up, the intention will be exposed, Ah Hui Zheng will definitely retreat decisively, so we will face the crazy attack of the Xi army." ”
"Will he still be able to fight his way out?" Lu Xingxing scoffed, "Wulieshui is a natural danger, coupled with the interception of our nearly 8,000 elite soldiers, it is enough to make it difficult for Ah Huizheng to advance an inch." ”
"Although Ah Huizheng is a turtle in an urn, but the trapped beast is still fighting, once the cauldron is broken, and our lives are fighting, our losses will be too great, and the gains outweigh the losses." Guo Ming shook his hand and warned Lu Xingxing not to underestimate the enemy, "This time the lurking Parrot River, the road is difficult, forcing us to give up all the baggage, food and weapons are carried with us, the number is extremely limited, which seriously limits the combat effectiveness, even with the help of the natural danger of Wulie Water, it is difficult for us to achieve the minimum casualties in the interception, so it is better to be cautious, not to be forced to do so, do not expose the intention too early, as far as possible, let the other ambushes consume Ah Huizheng first, so as to reduce the pressure of our interception." ”
Lu Xingxing disagreed, and arched his hand and said, "Time is pressing, so take a step ahead." ”
Guo Ming knew that he couldn't listen to it, although he had the intention to go first, but Lu Xingxing had already opened his mouth to "grab", and he could only accept it, "Mr. Lu will go first, and a certain will follow later." ”
On the tenth day of October, Anzhou, Maogou River.
The Maogou River is located at the southwest foot of Mayu Mountain, with a total length of more than 100 li, and the blocking point set up by the alliance is located at the southern end of the Maogou River, about 50 li away from Fangcheng, and less than 100 li away from the mouth of Wulie Buffalo Toujin.
A few days ago, Hu Yanjian, the head of the alliance, and Cao Kun led the army? At this point, find a favorable terrain between two mountains and one valley to build a blocking battle formation. On the ninth day of the first month, Li Fengyun led his army to withdraw from Wulieshui and ordered the Fourth Army of the Alliance that remained in Fangcheng to rush to the battlefield.
On the morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, the general manager Hai Dongqing led the Fourth Army of the alliance and arrived at the battlefield with a large number of heavy weapons such as longbows and crossbows.
Also coming at the same time was Alliance Sima Yuan An. After meeting, Li Fengyun first asked about the battle situation of the ghost side.
"Although the Turks strengthened their offensive and even increased their troops for a time, after a fierce battle, the Turks still failed to capture the Taoshui defense line." Yuan An said with a smile, "Ming Gong's inference is obviously correct, Qi Ji set Ashina out of his own position, and did not do his best to ask for the will and motivation of the Xi people, besides, the news of the fall of Anzhou has not yet reached the tooth tent, before the Shibi Khan made a decision, Qi Ji Sheh and Bu Lishe did not dare to risk provoking a large war between the north and the south to blindly send troops, so although the Turkic offensive was very fierce, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and the purpose of Ashina's aggressiveness was mainly to bluff, so as not to seize the handle of the tooth tent. ”
"According to the news in the Great Wall, Jiabitler Ashina Simo and Tong Lifa Shishu Huxi have arrived at the palace, and from the position of the Holy Lord and the center, since they firmly support our recovery of Anzhou, of course, they will do everything they can to help us buy more time, so if nothing else, this negotiation will definitely drag on for a long time, and it will not end until the Turks learn of the fall of Anzhou. In this way, even if Shibi Khan made the decision to rescue the Xi people, the time for the Turks to attack would not be until December or even early spring next year. And by that time, we would have gained a foothold in Anzhou, enough to withstand the attacks of the Turks. ”
Li Fengyun looked at the map on the desk and was silent.
Yuan An glanced at Li Fengyun and continued, "At the beginning of the month, Wu Benlang took Zhao Shi to Gubeikou and urgently made an appointment to meet with Ming Gong and Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong). On the fifth day of the first month, the Duke of Jianchang arrived at Panlong Fort and met with Zhao Shizhu. Zhao Shizhu insisted on solving the Flying Fox problem on behalf of the Liufu Mansion. Gong Jianchang bluntly told Zhao Shizhu and asked him to reply to Duan Da that the Flying Fox was a trap, a trap for the Holy Lord and the Central Hub to kill the King of Qi, and asked them not to be self-righteous, so as not to move stones to hit their feet and bring disaster upon themselves. It is said that Zhao Shizhu was very surprised at that time, and immediately made a promise after waking up, not only to ensure the support of the left-behind government to support Anzhou, but also to make a new decision on the Flying Fox issue. ”
Li Fengyun looked down at the map, bowed slightly, and still didn't speak.
Yuan An was vaguely uneasy, and had a premonition that Li Fengyun had a new idea for the current situation and the future war situation.
"Three days ago, Liu Shanbo of Zhongshan Liu's and Jian Jun of Jicheng Jian's arrived in Fangcheng accompanied by Li Sixing to discuss in-depth cooperation with us." Yuan An's brows furrowed slightly when he said this, and his tone was a little cold, "In addition, the secret envoy sent to Anzhou by Murong Zhengze, the deputy town of Gubeikou, has also arrived. ”
Li Fengyun raised his head at this time and asked with interest, "Who is here?" ”
"Murong Sanzang's grandson, Murong Zhengzhi's nephew, Murong Zhili." Yuan An said, "According to Li Sixing, Murong Sanzang died of illness in July, and it was this Murong Zhili who came to Gubeikou to report his funeral, because of the Eastern Capital Mutiny, so he stayed here. ”
"Be well treated." Li Dao, "The descendants of the Murong clan are all loyal, filial piety and uprightness, which is admirable and should not be neglected. ”
Li Fengyun's attitude surprised Yuan An, and he couldn't help but remind, "Ming Gong, he is holding grain and grass weapons to blackmail us, aggressive, if there is a concession, he will definitely have to make an inch." ”
"Why don't you back down? What are you fighting for? Fight for breath, or for power? Li Fengyun suddenly became serious, "Fang Cheng's attitude is all yours?" How does this attitude cooperate? What to win Murong Zhengzheng's trust? I want food, I want weapons, I want my soldiers to always maintain combat effectiveness, I want to win victory on the battlefield outside the Seychelles, win the greatest results in the shortest possible time, and develop rapidly, grow into a behemoth outside, only in this way can we survive in the worst environment and firmly control the initiative in the future situation. It's so simple, you don't understand? This concession at the moment can allow us to win huge benefits in the future, but you don't know which is more important than the two? ”
"The attitude of Ming Gong, the Holy Lord and the Central Authority is very clear, and he resolutely supports us in recovering Anzhou, and the initiative is in our hands." Yuan An said, "Murong Zhengze is just a small deputy town, he only has the part of bowing down to orders, how can he oppose the guest, threaten us with grain and grass weapons, and even interfere in our decision-making?" ”
"Who says the initiative is in our hands?" Li Fengyun sneered, "Although the Holy Lord and the Center support us to recover Anzhou, they resolutely curb our growth, so this support is temporary, short-term, just wait for the Holy Lord and the Center to achieve their goal, contain the Turks outside, and launch the Third Eastern Crusade inside, and then they will inevitably find all excuses to reduce or even cut off the support." Don't you see this inevitable trend? This little victory in front of you makes you blindly optimistic to the point where you don't know what to say? ”
"Ming Gong, it is because of this that our attitude must be tough." Yuan An argued.
"Have you considered the consequences of being tough?" Li Fengyun asked, "If the Holy Lord launches an Eastern Crusade in the early spring of next year, the support given to us will definitely be reduced, and if the Turks launch a large-scale attack at the end of the year or early spring, what will we do?" Therefore, we must seize this rare opportunity at hand, attack the enemy unprepared, and be quick to fight with the enemy, and in the next two to three months, not only to stabilize Anzhou, but also to go north to weaken Luoshui, and do everything we can to expand the results of the war and strengthen our strength, so that we can win the ability to contend with the Turks in the shortest possible time. What do we urgently need to achieve this goal? Grain and grass weapons, a large and endless supply of grain and grass weapons. ”
Yuan An was surprised, but he didn't expect that in Li Fengyun's plan, the "soldier is fast" was implemented throughout, not only did he not give the enemy a chance to breathe, but even he didn't have time to catch his breath. But think about it, it should be so, the alliance can't relax at all, the situation is changing rapidly, there are too many variables, and the slightest negligence of the alliance may fall into the abyss of defeat.
"You immediately return to Fangcheng and tell everyone what you said, so that everyone can realize that the crisis is getting worse and worse, and we are far from victory, so we must guard against arrogance and rashness, and go all out." Li Fengyun said coldly, "In addition, when you come back, come with Murong Zhili, and say that you invite him to participate in this decisive battle." ”
