Chapter Eighty-Three: The Torrent (II)

"This, this, hey, hey, hey" Ivanov didn't know how to answer, and continued to smile with a red face.

After careful calculation, he is not Zhu Chongjiu's original team. It was also in a desperate situation that he chose to be loyal to the latter. It can be regarded as making a lot of money after surrendering.

"You came before me, and our situation is completely different from theirs!" Sensitively guessing the reason for Ivanov's embarrassment, Hu Dahai immediately added with a sneer, "When we defected to the governor, the total number of soldiers and auxiliaries under his command was less than 5,000, and there were only a dozen generals who could lead troops to fight. In terms of strength, not only can it not be compared with Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui and others, but even Zhao Junyong can shake him so that he can't see the horse's tail. And now, looking at the world, there are still a few people who can be called his opponents. At this time, those who rushed over in a hurry must be rare smart people in the world! ”

"That's right!" Ivanov smiled and nodded, "But that's pretty good." If all the dog officials in the world are as smart as Hu Shen, it won't take long for us to hit Dadu. When the time came, the Mongol emperor was driven out and the governor was replaced. With his affectionate nature, you and I may be able to become dukes. Hey, duke, you know? Who can get such benefits except under our governors? Except here in our Great Qin, who can expect such a miracle to happen to them? I've never heard of it before, anyway, even though I've traveled so many places in my life! ”

This is a big truth. In the world at this time, Huaxia is probably the place that pays the least attention to blood. And in the Golden Horde and the regions further west, under the double pressure of religion and inheritance, it is difficult for ordinary people to change their identity. Not only was there little chance of a rebellion succeeding, but even if it did, the rebels, fearing religious power and secular traditions, often dared to choose only one nobleman's son or nephew to be the master of the entire country, and offered the fruits of victory at the expense of countless brothers.

In China, the "nobility" of the bloodline has been questioned more than 1,500 years ago. In the Middle Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system was widely implemented, and the phenomenon of high-grade people without poor families was completely sent to the grave. That is, after the Mongols invaded the south and savagely conquered civilization, the theory of descent became popular again. But the brutal rule of the Mongols was coming to an end, and the new kingdom that Zhu Chongjiu was about to establish, if not as equal as he had hoped, would at least for most of the people under the new dynasty enjoy more power than any previous dynasty.

Ivanov didn't read much, and his level of intelligence was very ordinary. But his experience and knowledge far surpassed anyone in the Huai'an army except Zhu Chongjiu. So a few big truths came out of his mouth, which made Hu Dahai speechless. After pondering for a long time, he reluctantly smiled again and said in a low voice: "What you said is actually right! The smarter the opponent's side, the easier it will be for our family to win the championship. Alas, thou art a blessed one, unlike me, alas"

After a lot of words, I was confused again. The more city foxes and rats on the opponent's side, the more beneficial it is for the Huai'an army to dominate the world, and he agrees with this sentence. But it is not easy for the Huai'an army to dominate the world, what is the relationship between whether it is blessed or not? Old Ivan scratched his head and couldn't figure it out.

But Hu Dahai didn't want to continue the topic with him, so he quickly found an excuse to inspect the barracks. made old Ivan beat a small drum in his heart, and always felt that Hu Dahai seemed to be hinting at something, but with his own ability, he couldn't figure it out anyway. As a result, I couldn't sleep peacefully in the middle of the night, so I rolled around on the makeshift bunk, and when I woke up the next morning, there was a big black circle around my blue eyes.

However, whether he understands it or not, Hu Dahai had a sentence last night, but it was quickly confirmed. Among Meng Yuan's civil and military generals, there are indeed enough smart people. Hu Shen, who took the initiative to invite Ying to attack Gedu, did not fire a single arrow, just by virtue of his sharp teeth, he said that he had to guard Wang Shiyuan and raised the banner of righteousness on the spot. In addition, the team that went all the way to attack Taohualing had just pulled out a few strongholds placed by the defenders in the middle of the mountain, and several thousands of households on the ridge killed the main general and surrendered to the village.

Gedu and Taohualing, two strategic locations, opened the door to the state. Immediately, Shi Wangkai, the marching commander, proposed in a low voice that a small number of soldiers and horses be sent to monitor Shi Moyisun's movements near Fanling, and the main force of the Second Army immediately pulled out the camp and marched south, and went straight to Lishui City, fifty miles away.

"Not necessarily!" Hu Dahai is still preoccupied, and there is no joy on his face. "Sent an order to Hu Shen and Wang Zhang, asking the two of them to set fire to Peach Blossom and Ge Du, and lead their respective soldiers and horses and the newly surrendered army to join forces to attack Lishui. The Second Army Corps immediately crossed the mouth of the Tiger and camped at Taohuadu, just south of Fanling. Let's wait there, waiting for Shi Mo Yisun to come down and fight a decisive battle! ”

"This?" Legion Commander Shi Wang Kai was stunned for a moment, and his face showed a little hesitation.

After two years of training in Zhu Chongjiu's general staff, he also learned some military strategies. Knowing the speed of soldiers, this ancient and modern unbreakable reason. Hu Dahai's approach is the opposite. If you don't take Lishui City, which is at your fingertips, you have to get entangled with Shi Mo Yisun, who is destined to be defeated, near Fanling, which has no longer become an obstacle.

"I met a few bad breeds one after another, and I was really bored fighting along the way! Our second legion, we have to fight a few tough battles and sharpen our blades! "1vanov has partnered with Hu Dahai for many years, and he did not hesitate to stand on the side of his old friend." Moreover, that Shi Mo Yisun has been entrenched in Chuzhou for many years, and his prestige cannot be underestimated. If he doesn't die, who knows what kind of mess he'll make? ”

"Thank you, Lord Ivan, for your advice!" The Third Legion Commander nodded and politely arched his hands in thanks. "Wang thought shallow before, but fortunately he didn't interfere with the decision of the two generals!"

Although he said it politely, deep down, he still felt very confused. According to the arrangement of the General Staff before the expedition, the task of the Second Army Corps was to drive straight into the city and attack the city. The enemy left behind him was handed over to Xu Da's Third Army to clean up, and Hu Dahai should not waste too much time.

"The goal of the Second Legion is not just Shi Mo Yisun!" As if guessing that he was not right, Hu Dahai, the commander of the Second Legion, suddenly smiled and shook his head lightly, "No one thought that Hu Shen would surrender in advance, let alone that Gedu and Taohualing would defeat without a fight." Therefore, the speed of our Second Army's southward advance has far exceeded Liu Shumi's estimate. So"

After a pause, he added in a very low voice, "You must slow down the speed of the advance now, and wait for the reaction from Meng Yuan's side." Whether it is Chen Youding or the Quanzhou Pu family, they must be given enough time to move! ”
