Chapter 287: A Risky Move
"Lord Zeng, I don't know what's going on, I still need you to come and invite me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info", Peng Yue said as he pulled Zeng Mian in the direction of his tent.
Zeng Mo listened to Peng Yue's words and couldn't help but wonder a little. Obviously, he wanted to go to Peng Yue's tent to discuss matters, but he was about to walk to the door of the tent, why did he pull himself elsewhere?
But now Zeng Mo was in no mood to care about this, so he followed Peng Yue to his camp.
"Master Peng, I want to talk to you about sending troops to Lan County..."
"It turns out that this is the case, and I also want to discuss it with Master Zeng...", Peng Yue said as he pulled Zeng Mi into Zeng Miao's tent, and the hanging heart finally let go.
"Lord Peng, the soldiers are very fast, I decided to send General Li to Lan County today...", Zeng Mo looked at Peng Yue, and the speed of his speech unconsciously became faster, "Lord Peng, you will guard here, and I will lead a large pair of men and horses to go around the rear of Maliang Mountain, forming a situation of encirclement of it, and it is also convenient for us to respond to each other, what do you think?" ā
"But the Tartars have already withdrawn some of their troops...", Peng Yue said with some doubts, "Just like Lord Zeng, you guessed before, many of the Tartar soldiers in Maliang Mountain have left the camp and gone around, and I am afraid that if I don't deal with them first, I won't be able to pull out the Maliang Mountain camp." ā
"I have carefully considered this question, we must not waste food because of choking...", Zeng Mill said, pointing to the map in his tent, "If they spread their forces around, then we will also spread our forces around, after all, we have the advantage in numbers." The forces we scattered were mainly against the Tartar soldiers on the periphery, and the two camps we had set up in front and behind concentrated on the Maliangshan camp. As you said, if you want to take the Maliang Mountain camp, those stragglers outside don't have to worry! ā
"That's fine, I guess there's no better way at the moment...", Peng Yue looked at the map in front of him, "After all, the war can't be delayed for too long, we must solve it as soon as possible, we can't delay it any longer..."
"By the way, Lord Zeng...", Peng Yue seemed to remember something, and suddenly grabbed Zeng Miao, "It's better to let General Li stay here, and I will lead the army to Lan County." ā
It turned out that Peng Yue thought that Qiu Qingge was in this military camp, and after a long time, he naturally couldn't hide it from Zeng Mo and the others. It is better to lead the army to Lan County by himself, so that Qiu Qingge will not find out about following him in the military camp.
"This must not be done! Master Peng, I have already told you, it is very dangerous to ambush the army there. Zeng Mian looked anxious, "First of all, we don't know when the Tartars in the Hetao will flee through Lan County. Secondly, if the Tartars send reinforcements here, whether you can intercept them there is a big question, and we don't know when they will reinforce and how many reinforcements they will have..."
Peng Yue couldn't help but feel a little irritated when he listened to Zeng Miao's chatter about the dangerous places in Lan County, "Lord Zeng, since it is a marching battle, where is it absolutely safe, and where is it absolutely dangerous. Even if Lan County is relatively dangerous, I can't go there, but I have to send General Li? I'm here to fight and serve the country, not to run for my life! ā
Zeng Mo heard Peng Yue's words speak so heavily, and quickly explained in a gentle tone: "Master Peng, you are not a military general, so I am worried when you go there, after all, I can't send too many troops over..."
"What does Zeng-sama mean that I need the protection of many people to fight? Then wouldn't I be a burden, just don't fight, just rush back to Datong...", Peng Yue sneered, "Lord Zeng, I remember that you are also from a literati background, is it possible that this march and war is only done by military generals?" ā
When Zeng Mo heard Peng Yue say that, it was not easy to explain, and he was so anxious that some beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, "Master Peng, I'm just afraid that you will make a mistake." You're a pillar of the country, and if something happens here, I can't afford it..."
When Peng Yue heard Zeng Mo say this, he didn't want to be tough, but slowly explained, "Lord Zeng, my suggestion is also after full consideration..."
"Lord Zeng, I am indeed not a military general, so I am not good at attacking camps. And staying here to fight, most of them rely on strong attacks, which I can't compare to General Li, General Li is extremely brave, and it is better for him to guard here..."
Zeng Mo heard Peng Yue say that, and he did feel that there was some truth, but he was still reluctant in his heart.
"Also, although General Li is brave, he lacks strategy. And about the ambush in Lan County, I am worried that General Li will not be able to do it well, are you so relieved of General Li? ā
Peng Yue said a few words, and suddenly said to Zeng Miao's heart. He has indeed always been worried about Li Dequan's courage and unscrupulousness, and letting Li Dequan go to Lan County is also a last resort. Now that Peng Yue has brought this up again, Zeng Miao's heart is naturally a little shaken again.
"Anyway, I'm not sure I'm going to stay here. But if I am asked to lead the army to Lan County, I am more certain. As for General Li's arrangement...", Peng Yue stared at Zeng Mo meaningfully, "Lord Zeng, I still need you to think about it carefully..."
"Master Peng, are you really sure about leading the army to ambush in Lan County?" , Zeng Mo asked hesitantly.
When Peng Yue heard this, it was obvious that Zeng Mo had listened to what he said, so he said with a smile: "Lord Zeng, we have been together for a long time, don't you have trust in me?" ā
"Lord Peng's words are serious...", Zeng Mo smiled a little embarrassedly, "I naturally admire Lord Peng's talent and wisdom, if Lord Peng is really willing, then Lord Peng will lead the army to Lan County." But... There's really no way I'm going to call you too many..."
"It's okay, five thousand people are enough." , Peng Yue said calmly.
"Master Peng, are you kidding, how can five thousand centaurs." , Zeng Mo smiled helplessly, "I'm going to allocate 10,000 horses to you." ā
"Huh? Lanxian County is small, I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many people...", Peng Yue scratched his head embarrassedly, "And there are not many people here, so don't allocate so many people to me..."
"Besides, the Tartars have already lost too many soldiers and horses in the Hetao, although they know that the Hetao is important, but they will not put all their lives on it, so I don't think they will send many more men and horses here...", Peng Yue explained in a low voice.
"Well, you're right...", Zeng Mian breathed a sigh of relief, "Then send you 7,000 soldiers and horses..."
"Well, so be it, I think it's about the same...", Peng Yue laughed.
"But, Master Peng, there is no artillery available here, and most of the artillery shells we brought are used up..."
"Huh? Didn't I say that it would be useful to save some money...", Peng Yue sighed lightly, "If you don't have it, you won't have it, and that's the only way..." )
