Chapter 232: Farewell
As for Wei Changfeng, it was difficult to speak alone, and without Fang Zhenhai's cooperation, he could only face the Huns alone.
This plan is really a plan to kill two birds with one stone. It's just that this reason is just right, and it was issued in the form of an official document from the Ministry of War, so that neither Fang Zhenhai nor Wei Changfeng could refute it.
Of course, Fang Zhenhai also knew this, and he said with a smile: "I have agreed to the request of the Ministry of War, but at the same time, I have already written an official document to the Ministry of War, saying that General Wei has worked hard and made great achievements, and the soldiers have blood stained on the battlefield, General Wei should be promoted, and the generals will have to say the credit to General Wei." As he spoke, he took out the official document that he had already written, obviously, the reason why he did not send this document was to wait for Wei Changfeng to repay the generals.
Wei Changfeng hesitated.
General Fang is clearly bargaining with the military department. General Fang was actually saying to the Ministry of War: It's okay if you want me to go to quell the rebellion, but you have to be promoted to the officer of Wei Changfeng, and you must reward the meritorious soldiers who Wei Changfeng has reported.
At this price, it is estimated that the military department has to accept it. Otherwise, General Fang would delay, slowly prevaricate, or even simply call himself sick, and Zhu Ling could only stare dryly. However, this is not just a business, this is General Fang's favor.
It's just that if you don't accept it, General Fang's hard work will be in vain, let alone what if you don't accept it? Can it move Zhu Ling?
Thinking of this, Wei Changfeng nodded and said, "So, thank you General Fang." The last general then wrote a military merit sheet to General Fang. ”
Fang Zhenhai said with a smile: "Then it won't work, the military department has an order, as soon as Xilin Gol takes it, I have to return immediately." He smiled again and added, "The military situation is urgent." But this sentence is very ironic.
Wei Changfeng sighed, thinking that this Zhu Ling was really anxious. Previously, the Han army was anxious to pursue the Hun army, and when the military situation was urgent, Zhu Ling asked them to wait for ten days, and now this counterinsurgency actually asked Fang Zhenhai to return immediately.
If it's really a big rebellion, it makes sense, but now this rebellion is just some stragglers from all over the country, and returning a day late will not delay a major event, and returning a day early will not do much good. At this time, Zhu Shangshu was in a hurry.
But since the order of the military department is like this, it is not easy to contradict it, Wei Changfeng had to say: "In this case, the last general will write it today, and General Fang will not leave today." ”
Fang Zhenhai smiled and replied, "It will take tomorrow to make the trip." ”
Wei Changfeng listened to Fang Zhenhai's words, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart.
He and Fang Zhenhai have been dating for a period of time, it can be said that the relationship with Fang Zhenhai is only second to the relationship with Bai Qi, now Fang Zhenhai is going to the Central Plains, and he is in Mobei, I am afraid that I will not be able to see each other for a considerable period of time in the future, and it is not impossible to say goodbye forever. He sighed and said, "In that case, the last general will invite General Fang for a table of wine tonight, and the last general will see General Fang off." ”
Fang Zhenhai nodded and did not make a sound. It can be seen that in fact, he is also very nostalgic for the days when he fought side by side with Wei Changfeng.
Seeing that the two generals were saying goodbye, the generals also had their own thoughts, and they all stepped forward to talk to Fang Zhenhai. Fang Zhenhai said with a smile: "Everyone, if you have something to say at the wine table tonight, you will go and deal with military affairs first." ”
Although the generals were reluctant, after all, the military affairs were important, so they left one after another.
After the generals withdrew from the tent, Fang Zhenhai stretched out a small cloth bag again. This small cloth bag was wrapped in oiled paper, and the outside was a thick coarse cloth, and it was placed in Fang Zhenhai's close place, which seemed to be an important thing.
Fang Zhenhai said to Wei Changfeng: "There is no way to give it off before leaving, this thing should be a parting gift, General Wei, you have to collect this thing." ”
Wei Changfeng saw that Fang Zhenhai said solemnly, although he didn't know what it was, he also replied: "The last general must be hidden close to him." ”
Fang Zhenhai smiled and opened the package.
Wei Changfeng watched from the side, and saw that the package was as many as three layers, which showed how much Fang Zhenhai attached importance to it, and when he opened the package, it was a very thin sheepskin.
Fang Zhenhai waved at Wei Changfeng and said, "You come and take a look." This one will definitely help you a lot. ”
Wei Changfeng stretched out his head to look, and couldn't help but scream when he saw it.
That sheepskin is actually a map of Mobei!
Fang Zhenhai knew that Wei Changfeng would be surprised, and said with a smile: "How?" ”
Wei Changfeng's face turned red with excitement.
Tired of fighting with the Xiongnu for many years, although the general importance of the Xiongnu has been known, but after all, there is no complete map pointing, marching and fighting, relying on previous intelligence, but these information or accurate or not, and small locations are not known, so the Han army entered the desert, really has the feeling of not knowing where to go. Now that I have this map, it's really helpful.
Fang Zhenhai unfolded the map, pointed to the map and said, "You see, the Xiongnu are actually divided into two routes: north and south. What we are facing now is the South Xiongnu Road. If we can take the important strongholds of the Xiongnu South Road one by one, it will force the Xiongnu to retreat to the North Road, we have always only known that the Ludao grassland is vast and boundless, and horses can be herded anywhere, but it can be seen clearly from the map, in fact, the water and grass are abundant, and there are not many places where people can gather and live on a large scale, as long as these places are taken, the Huns will not be able to carry out large-scale activities on the South Road. ”
Wei Changfeng looked at the map and saw that this map was extremely vivid, where the water and grass were abundant, and the important strongholds of the Xiongnu were marked one by one, and sure enough, they were divided into two roads, north and south. And the distance between the two roads is more than 1,500 miles, if the strongholds of the south road can be taken one by one, the Xiongnu can only retreat a thousand miles, and there is a large desert between the north and south roads, I am afraid that once the Xiongnu retreat to the north road, there is no way to return to the south road for ten or eight years.
He couldn't help but point his finger at the map and move slowly, carefully studying the attack route.
Fang Zhenhai didn't bother Wei Changfeng, on the contrary, his eyes were also fixed on Wei Changfeng's fingers.
Because he hopes that before he returns to the Central Plains, he will help Wei Changfeng again, at least, the two of them can better confirm how to attack the Huns.
Wei Changfeng's finger first paused at Sunit, who was four hundred miles away from Xilin Gol.
He raised his head and looked at Fang Zhenhai.
Fang Zhenhai smiled and nodded.
Although the two did not speak, they understood each other, and both confirmed that Sunit was the first target.
Next, there is Durhan, nearly a thousand miles away. To the west of Darhan, three hundred miles away, is Urart. Two hundred miles southwest of Urad is the important town of Bayannur. Four hundred miles north of Bayannur is the small royal court, and five hundred miles to the north is the big royal court.
This is the first time that the Han army clearly knows the location of the royal court of the Xiongnu, and it is also the first time to know the royal court of the Xiongnu, the original royal court of the Xiongnu is divided into a small royal court and a large royal court, and it should be like Chang'an and Luoyang, one is the capital, and the other is the accompanying capital.
Wei Changfeng looked at the map and said with a smile: "If this map is accurate, it really helps a lot." It's just that there are some signs in this picture that the general still doesn't understand. ”
He pointed between Sunit and Darhan.
There are nearly a thousand miles of distance in the middle, but it is not a blank, there are actually some drawings drawn in it, some can be understood, such as river water, and some do not understand, for example, there is a mouth drawn in some places, and there seem to be stems and leaves under the mouth, it looks as if this mouth is a plant growing from the ground, and there is a big snake drawn in some places, I don't know what it means, does it mean that there are many snakes here?
Fang Zhenhai replied: "I don't know what these mean, and neither does the person who gave me this picture, but this picture is absolutely accurate, and this General Wei can absolutely believe it." ”
Wei Changfeng saw that Fang Zhenhai even said two "absolutes", but he refused to say who gave him this map, knowing that there must be a secret here, maybe this is a high-ranking official among the Huns who fornicated with the Han Dynasty, like this secret, or the less people know about the way, the better, so he didn't ask, anyway, according to the map, he must pass through these areas, and then see what it means, it's a big deal that the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it.
The two of them had just studied the map, but they heard the curtain lifted, and Bai Qi walked in.
Bai first saluted Fang Zhenhai, and then said: "There is a Hun soldier at the west gate outside the camp, it is a woman, she will not leave anything, and she must ask to see General Wei." ”
Fang Zhenhai laughed and quipped: "Could it be that there are Huns who admire the prestige of the general who hates the sky, and they have come to make a personal promise?" Bai Qi shook his head and said, "No." She's here to collect the body. ”
Fang Zhenhai and Wei Changfeng were both stunned. Fang Zhenhai glanced at Wei Changfeng and said, "You can deal with this matter, one is that she is asking to see you, and the other is that I will leave tomorrow, and you will be in charge here." General Bai, you came just in time, I will hand over all the team I brought to you, and you and I will go with you to handle the delivery. ”
Bai nodded in agreement.
Wei Changfeng saw that Fang Zhenhai was busy with military affairs, so he had to settle the account and came to the west gate.
When he arrived at the west gate, he saw several Han soldiers pointing outward at the camp fence, and there were still people making loud noises, Wei Changfeng snorted, thinking that no matter what, this kind of approach was still inappropriate, he coughed heavily and walked forward.
When a few soldiers saw General Fenwei coming, they immediately fell silent, and a centurion stepped forward to salute and said, "General Yu, there is a Hun female soldier outside, saying that she wants to collect his brother's corpse, and I can't make the decision, so I have to ask General Wei to decide." ”
Wei Changfeng took two steps forward, looked from the camp fence, and saw that there was only one woman outside, the woman was not tall, with a round face, but her expression was very stubborn, she was leading a horse, and there was a bag on the horse's back, the mouth of the bag was open, and it was only a shovel and shovel in the bag.
Wei Changfeng saw that there was only this one person, and there were no two people near and far, so he ordered the door to open and walked out of the camp by himself.
Approaching the woman, Wei Changfeng's heart suddenly jumped. He felt that this woman was so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
When the woman saw a high-ranking general of the Han army come out, she stretched out her hand, took off the waist knife from her waist and sheathed it, and threw it on the ground with a bang to show that she had no hostile intentions.
When Wei Changfeng saw this woman move, his high chest also shook, and Wei Changfeng suddenly remembered who this woman was.
