Chapter 405: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
The logistics problem was guaranteed, and it also relieved Duan Peng, who was about to go on the expedition. I sincerely thanked the article.
Such a cordial attitude shocked the article into a panic again.
Later, as the generals accepted the article, the atmosphere became harmonious.
The article is the Yin of Baoding Prefecture, and he has been conscientious and conscientious in governing the local government for more than ten years. In terms of local topography and folk customs, they naturally know more than Lu Heng and other outsiders.
Moreover, the article is an honest official, quite loved by the local people, and has a wide range of contacts. With his advice. Much information about the route of the march, and where the rebels were, was corrected and further clarified.
Because the operational outline had already been decided, most of the discussions at this time were tactical issues.
Among them, the most critical is how to bypass the enemy army of the Taihang Mountain defense line and enter Shanxi unknowingly.
Duan Peng frowned and stared at the march map on the table. Stretching out his finger, he drew a line in the Taihang Mountain Range, raised his head and looked at the military advisor and said, "The inferior general has already sent people to investigate these days, but there is a road that can pass through the Taihang Mountain and go directly to Taiyuan Mansion." However, as the general can see, the rebels must have been on guard on this road. In addition, the valley is long and narrow, as long as there are hundreds of people on guard, it is a situation where one man is in charge of ten thousand people. If the army wants to pass through the Taihang Mountain, I am afraid that it will be delayed for a long time! ”
Lu Heng looked at the route marked on the map, nodded, raised his head, looked at Zhanxiong beside him and said, "General Zhan, what do you think?" ”
"Yu Junshi, many years ago, General Bei once followed the prince to this Taihang Mountain. The terrain here is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, according to General Duan, there are not many of the Jin king's troops guarding here, and they are all elites in the army. If you want to go this way, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time! Zhanxiong stared at the red line on the map with burning eyes, and after thinking about it, he said in a deep voice.
Lu Heng thought about it, bent down and stared carefully at the map. After a while, he turned his head to look at Zhanxiong and said, "Can the Snow Wolf Camp open this path!" ”
Zhan Xiong thought for a moment, and then replied in a deep voice: "Yes, but it will take time!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Heng frowned slightly. "Net" net.net
Time, the most lacking thing now is time!
Could it be that there is no other way to cross the Taihang Mountain?
His fingers lightly knocked on the table, straightened up, and looked at the route marked on the map with some solemn eyes. The brow is furrowed.
Inadvertently, Lu Heng suddenly saw Lord Wen standing beside Zhanxiong, staring at the map with wide eyes and breathing.
By the way, how did I forget about him!
After Lu Heng thought of this, he patted his forehead with a wry smile.
Turning his head, he said to the article: "Master Wen, what do you think?" ”
Listening to Lu Heng's suggestion of asking for himself, the article was immediately flattered. However, seeing that those military attaches were disapproving, I also knew in my heart that these military generals despised their ministers for speaking martial arts.
was worried, but he didn't dare to speak.
"Master Wen is a local know-it-all, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" As if seeing through the uneasiness in the article's heart, Lu Heng smiled and waved his hand unmindfully.
After getting Lu Heng's approval, the article also settled down a lot.
After lying on the table and looking at it carefully, his chubby fingers suddenly pointed to the north of the red line, about fifty miles away. He frowned and thought for a moment, until he determined the answer in his heart, then he turned his head and said to Lu Heng: "Lord Lu, last year, Xia Guan met a tea merchant who traveled back and forth between Shanxi and Hebei!" He said that here, there is another road that can directly pass through the Taihang Mountain and reach Yangqu County! ”
"Oh?" Lu Heng originally asked unintentionally, but he didn't expect there to be additional surprises. After hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "What you said is true?" “
Not only Lu Heng's eyes lit up, but even the generals who had just shown disdain for the article were shocked, and they looked at this mediocre-looking fat man with anticipation, waiting for his answer.
After recalling the article, he nodded heavily and replied affirmatively: "Really, later, Xia Guan also sent someone to investigate once." Although the net has not reached Yangqu, this road is definitely open! ”
After getting the affirmation of the article, Lu Heng was overjoyed.
took a step forward, grabbed the shoulders of the article with both hands, and said happily: "Lord Wen, you have done us a great favor." After winning this battle, I will definitely give you the first credit to Your Majesty! ”
After hearing this, the article shook his head like a rattle, and hurriedly refused: "Don't be like this, adults." Being able to fight a tough battle is all the credit of the adults and the generals, and the lower officials have not done anything, how dare 0 be greedy for merit! ”
People must know how to advance and retreat, and they must know to be satisfied.
I have already befriended the emperor tonight, and there will be many opportunities in the future. Why rob these generals of their hard-won credit.
No, absolutely not!
Seeing the article so firmly rejected. Lu Heng was not only annoyed in his heart, but also very happy. Know how to advance and retreat, and be content. There aren't many officials like that.
stretched out his finger and poked the article's fat belly, only to make the article so painful that he didn't dare to laugh, and his face was so red that he couldn't laugh. Seeing this, Lu Heng was happy in his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, it's your credit, you have to continue." You can't go back if you want to! ”
Beside him, Zhanxiong Duan Peng and others were also overjoyed when they heard the news. The generals changed their contemptuous expressions just now and chatted with the article familiarly.
Looking at the article that was crowded by everyone and was busy. Lu Heng smiled slightly, turned his head, and said to Xiao Wu, who had been following him: "Xiao Wu, do you think he shouldn't be awarded?" ”
When he said just now that he wanted to give credit to the article, Xiao Wu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping did not escape Lu Heng's sight. The look in his eyes didn't seem to agree with his approach.
Therefore, wait for yourself to pull out. Lu Heng smiled and asked. 、
"Students don't dare!" Xiao Wu hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Heh, Xiao Wu, it's good to be the emperor and have a city. However, the city government does not represent hypocrisy. Do you understand? Lu Heng's face was a little stern, and his words were already reprimanded.
Xiao Wu's body trembled, and his face turned pale with fright. When I raised my head and saw the stern look of the teacher, I didn't dare to hide it in my heart. , I had to bite the bullet and say: "Yes!" ”
After bowing respectfully, Xiao Wu hesitated and said, "Just now, the teacher has already given him a great reward. Now he is given military merit again. This....... ”
"He was originally a feudal official, a civil servant. If there is military merit, will it! Looking at Xiao Wu's expression, he stopped talking and stopped, with a worried expression. How could Lu Heng not know what he was worried about, I am afraid that he thought of the King of Jin who had rebelled recently.
"Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people!" Lu Heng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to press Xiao Wu's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "As a monarch, you should be tolerant." This amount is much larger than all the people in the world. Moreover, this amount refers not only to slander and unpleasant words, but also to the ability to tolerate the merits of the courtiers. As long as your measurement is big enough, there will never be anything like a courtier's meritorious master! Do you understand? ”
After Xiao Wu heard this, he thought about it carefully. His eyes lit up a lot. Raising his head, he looked at Lu Heng with respect in his eyes, and bowed down: "Teacher Xie for your guidance!" “
Seeing that Xiao Wu was sensible, Lu Heng was also very relieved.
The king of a country, if he does not have the capacity to tolerate people, it is difficult to listen to the words of the contrary. Over time, he will inevitably develop a domineering and arbitrary character, and become a mediocre and tyrannical king.
This is not a blessing for all people!
Now, seeing that Xiao Wu can quickly understand this truth, Lu Heng is also very happy in his heart.
After solving the problem of the march route, what follows is much simpler in comparison.
With the guidance of the operational outline, it is a matter of tactical details.
A few months ago, after Duan Peng secretly entered Hebei in accordance with the intentions of his military division, he had been thinking about the tactics of this specific operation.
Now, a few months have passed, and Duan Peng has come up with a very mature surprise attack battle plan.
"Hey, such a swift attack is quite similar to the old man's tactics back then. Well, and even more. Qin Shihu, who had been messing with a group of young generals, suddenly lit up in his eyes after seeing this set of combat plans, and he stroked his beard and said in amazement.
"You kid came up with this kind of combat idea?" Qin Shihu looked at Duan Peng curiously and asked in surprise.
When Duan Peng heard this, his face turned red. coughed embarrassedly, shook his head and said, "The old general has promoted Duan, this blitzkrieg mode was proposed by the military advisor!" ”
"You came up with that?" Qin Shihu turned his head, looked at Lu Heng, spit out words like thunder, and asked in surprise.
"Ahem, sort of!" Lu Heng coughed, nodded cheekily and agreed.
Looking at Qin Shihu's surprised and shocked gaze, Lu Heng felt a little embarrassed in his heart: Ahem, I'm sorry, Your Excellency General Guderian.
……
After all the operational policies had been decided, the generals returned to the barracks and began to lay out pre-battle preparations.
Qin Shihu also followed Duan Peng to the barracks to explore the mortars and thunderbolt beads that were known as divine weapons.
The lively Baoding Mansion was suddenly empty. For a while, the huge living room looked a little bleak.
"Lord Lu, if you don't like it, the lower official will take Lord Lu for a walk in this city. Also take a look at the style of the city in the north of the city? The article personally served tea and water, and asked with a smile.
After Lu Heng thanked him for the tea, he shook his head with a smile and politely refused: "Master Wen is in the position of a logistics officer, and everything is complicated. You don't have to accompany Lu. Lu and Agui just walk around the street at will! If you have anything to do, just get busy! ”
The article nodded, smiled apologetically at Lu Heng, and then turned around and trotted away.
As soon as the article left, only Lu Heng and Agui's master and servant were left in the room.
"Childe, what are we going to do?" Agui scratched his head and asked with a smile.
"Let's go, go see an acquaintance!" Lu Heng put down the book in his hand, took a sip of tea, said with a smile, raised his feet and walked out of the door.
