Chapter 409 Wang Yu Xingshi (It's the end of the month, please ask for a monthly pass)

At night, the moon is in the sky.

The imperial city under the silver "color" light is as silent as water, and it is extremely solemn.

In the imperial city, Qianniuwei, dressed in black, was clad in the cold moonlight, holding steel knives, patrolling all corners. Far away from the "door" of the temple, the inner "attendant" with a dusty hand in his hand stood outside like a statue, his face "pale" solemn.

In the imperial study, the lights are bright. The dim light shining from the window added a soft light to the solemn palace in the solemn night.

Occasionally, there was a muffled conversation in the study, but it was too far away to be heard.

In the room, the lights flickered.

The bright yellow "color" arrangement, in the light of this lamp, is more solemn and serious.

The emperor, dressed in a golden dragon robe, sat on a chair in front of his desk, looking at the map spread on the ground with a slightly solemn expression. The crown prince Wu Zheng stood aside respectfully and did not sit down.

It's been almost two hours since the Imperial Council was held.

The proposal is to discuss the matter of the Jin king's proclamation as emperor in Shanxi. The key to this is the crusade.

But how to crusade in order to ensure the lowest losses and quell the rebellion in the fastest time is a headache for everyone here.

Shanxi is located in the central part of the country, with the Turks in the north and Tokyo in the south, which is the big "gate" of the Central Plains, and its strategic location is extremely critical. If the King of Jin is given a chance to breathe, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not open the big "door" of Shanxi in a fit of anger. Put the Turks in.

Moreover, according to the intelligence, this possibility is extremely "dangerous".

So, to minimize the consequences of things. The most perfect plan is to quell the rebellion in Shanxi in a very short time.

But again, things are back to the dot.

In Shanxi, the terrain is complex and mostly mountainous. Extremely easy to hide from enemies.

And it is not conducive to large-scale corps operations.

In this way, the army of the imperial court will not be able to take Shanxi with a sweeping attack posture.

If the troops are divided to attack, the battle line will inevitably be stretched for a long time, and the time will be extended.

When the time comes, the night will be long and dreamy, and who knows what will happen.

From last night, until the wee hours of the morning. Everyone is talking about it, but so far, no consensus has been reached.

The courtiers had their own opinions, and their faces were red and red in the face of arguments.

"From the old man's point of view, no matter what bird terrain he has, our army will directly 'advance' to Taiyuan, as long as Taiyuan is taken, everything will be solved!" General Qin Shihu saw a group of scholars discussing what sergeants were discussing here, and immediately interrupted impatiently. The tiger was stunned, his big hand patted the location of Taiyuan on the map, and shouted wow.

"Hmph, Old Lady Qin, it's easy for you to say. Let me ask you, since the king of Jin dared to rebel at this time, it means that he had already laid heavy troops on the Yellow River defense line. Moreover, the pontoon bridge over the Yellow River must have also been burned. I ask you, how do you cross the river? How could they break through Yuncheng all the way to the Jinzhong defense line and take Taiyuan before the Turks reacted? Hong Quan snorted coldly and gave him a blank look.

"Who wouldn't brag!" Hong Quan pursed his lips, ignoring Qin Shihu's angry shouting, just re-projected his gaze on the map, frowning and thinking.

"Dead fatty, Lao Tzu told you. When Lao Tzu was fighting, you kid was still eating "milk"! Qin Shihu saw that his statement could not convince others, so he immediately snorted and began to show his qualifications.

Hong Quan snorted and ignored him. Obviously, the look on my face is that I don't hesitate to talk to you.

Qin Shihu I is a hero, how can he ever be ignored. Seeing the disdainful smile on Hong Fatzi's face, he immediately became angry, stood up, "inserted" his hand, pointed at Hong Quan's nose, and spat splashed in his mouth: "What, you look down on the old man?" ”

"Alright, shut up!" The emperor was distraught and heard the two arguing here. Immediately go berserk. Turning his head, he stared at the two of them coldly, and shouted.

It's not high, but it's powerful enough.

The noise in the field suddenly stopped, and the two who quarreled immediately fell silent and sat down again.

It's just that Qin Shihu and Hong Quan are still unconvinced, and they look at each other angrily, like enemies of life and death.

"What do you think?" After glaring at them, the emperor turned his head and asked Lu Hengdao, who was sitting beside him, who had been silent, just holding a tea cup and frowning and thinking.

This is the most casual title of the emperor among all the courtiers. Whatever it is, it makes others jealous.

Although the emperor called the others Aiqing, they also knew that it was just the emperor's casual words. But for Lu Heng, the emperor called you directly, what does this mean.

It shows that the emperor does not regard Lu Heng as a courtier, but puts him in the same position as himself. It's an inquiring friend's tone.

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away!

Qin Shihu and Hong Quan, who had just been reprimanded by the emperor, sighed in their hearts, and their eyes were extremely resentful.

Lu Heng stared at the map for a moment, got down from the chair, held the tea cup, and squatted on the side of the map.

Seeing this, the emperor also got down from the dragon chair and squatted beside Lu Heng. looked at Lu Heng with burning eyes, waiting for him to speak.

After taking a closer look at the terrain of Shanxi, as well as the map of the surrounding provinces. Lu Heng's fingers lightly knocked on the map, and he groaned for a moment and said, "Actually, I think that Old General Qin's words have a certain amount of truth!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Shihu was immediately proud.

Looking at Hong Quan's eyes, he also fluttered.

Hong Quan was still so angry that he didn't want to pay for his life, and his chubby face was full of disdain. The angry Qin Shihu almost vomited blood.

Hong Quan has been in love with Lu Heng for so long, so he naturally knows Lu Heng's art of speaking.

There is some truth, that is, not all of them. It can even be understood that there is only a little bit of truth.

A little bit of truth, you old horseman is a proud bird!

When the emperor heard this, he looked at Shanxi on the map, pondered for a moment, still puzzled, and frowned: "You tell me in detail!" ”

"The complex terrain of Shanxi is indeed not conducive to the advance of the army from south to north. However, this is relative to covering the whole of Shanxi. However, our goal this time is to crush the rebels and destroy their main forces. It is unrealistic to wipe out the rebels in their entirety! ”

Seeing that the emperor thought for a moment and nodded slightly, Lu Heng took a sip of tea and continued: "Half of the main force of King Jin is stationed around Taiyuan. And this part is the most "elite" army of King Jin. Therefore, taking Taiyuan is the top priority. As long as Taiyuan is taken, this part of the army is defeated, and the rebellion is quelled, most of the rebellion will be completed. For the rest, don't worry! ”

"But what about the other half? According to intelligence, one-third of his main force was stationed in the Yellow River defense line. If we are 'strong' close to Taiyuan, we will inevitably cross the Yellow River. How can you quickly open the Yellow River defense line, what do you think? The emperor frowned, stretched out his hand to draw the location of the Yellow River on the map, and asked in a deep voice.

Listening to the emperor's inquiry, the rest of the people nodded in agreement. They all hit Lu Heng's body.

Lu Heng smiled, took a sip of the teacup in his hand, knocked on the location of Taihang Mountain on the map, raised his head, and glanced at everyone: "Attacking Taiyuan, it is not necessarily the only road to go on the Yellow River!" Why do we have to fight the rebels by the Yellow River? ”

"If you take a detour, won't you have enough time?" The Emperor asked worriedly what the Turks would do if the time dragged on too long. When the time comes, the rebels will really be like a tiger. It's even more difficult to clean up.

Seeing that the emperor was puzzled and worried. Lu Heng straightened his waist slightly, shook his head and smiled, pointed to the location of Baoding, Hebei Province and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Duan Peng's department has been waiting here for more than two months?" ”

Looking at the smile in Lu Heng's eyes, and looking down at Baoding, which was only hundreds of miles away from Taiyuan, which Lu Heng pointed to, the emperor's eyes lit up, and then he remembered that some time ago, Lu Heng told him that Duan Peng's department had secretly entered the Hebei area.

Now, hearing Lu Heng's words again, the emperor was suddenly pleasantly surprised. If Lu Heng hadn't mentioned it at this time, he would have really forgotten it.

Duan Peng's department had just experienced the bloody battle of Goryeo, and it was the time when morale was high. And after Lu Heng's training, the combat effectiveness of this army is even stronger.

The appearance of such a large army in Baoding is no less than a divine soldier descending from heaven!

Moreover, Duan Peng's headquarters was only a few hundred miles away from Taiyuan Mansion, and if he marched in a hurry, it would be enough for the troops to come to the city within two days.

At that time, the Yellow River defense line, which was heavily guarded by the rebels, became an ornament and a "chicken" rib.

After taking Taiyuan City, the defenders of the Yellow River defense line are already turtles in the urn, and they have lost their backbone, even if their combat effectiveness is strong, they are still a group of rabble, so there is nothing to worry about.

The emperor's eyes were full of brilliance, and he groped his chin, and the more he thought about it, the more happy he felt. Straightened up, finally breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his thumb to Lu Heng, and praised: "What a strategy, the military advisor really deserves his reputation!" ”

"What do you think?" The emperor was happy, and his face looked much better. At this time, he stroked his beard, laughed, and looked around the ministers beside him, with happy faces.

"Lord Lu is whimsical and eclectic in thinking, I admire him!"

The 'squire' of the military department stood up, took a step back, bowed down, and saluted Lu Heng.

"In this way, if the war goes well, our army will definitely be able to take Taiyuan Mansion within seven days! The danger of Shanxi can be solved! ”

"What a 'yin' move, oh no, a wonderful move!" Qin Shihu's eyes were also full of brilliance, and he stroked his beard and praised. However, when this old man was young, he had a straight temper and spoke straightforwardly. At this time, seeing Lu Heng playing tricks, he sourly lost a sentence.

When he raised his head, he saw Lu Heng rolling his eyes speechlessly. Qin Shihu hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "The military advisor doesn't need to be angry, the old man is not strict in his mouth and often says the wrong thing!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers burst into laughter after a brief period of astonishment.

After so many years, it was the first time they saw Qin Shihu, a stubborn donkey, who was soft on people!
