Li Wu, the commander of the Flying Cavalry Guard, Lei Heng, the commander of the Liewuwei Legion, Hou Jian, the commander of the Third Legion, and Tong Concrete, the commander of the Sixth Legion, rushed to the marshal's camp one after another.

Li Wu, Ziting Mountain. Thirty-five years old, with the rank of major general. The long air is lofty, the appearance is dignified, and a wisp of ink hair hangs down on the chest, which is quite a bit of Guan Gong's demeanor. He was originally an old subordinate of the British Prince, and later accumulated military merits to the colonel, and was recommended by the British Duke to become the palace commander of the Flying Cavalry Guard. However, his direct boss is Hu Gong, which is a bit weird.

Lei Heng, the word is abyss. Thirty years old, with the rank of major general. This person has a leopard head and eyes, strong as an iron tower, and a sound like a bell, and he is a fierce general. He graduated from the Jingxiang Military Academy, is good at training foot soldiers, and strictly speaking, does not belong to any of the current four generalissimos. After graduating from the military academy, he was directly selected into the Guards Regiment, and two years later he was transferred to the Trap Guard. When Hu Gong became a sacrificial wine at Zhaowu University, the emperor took a fancy to his characteristics that he did not belong to any faction, transferred him to Liewuwei, and promoted him to the position of commander of the Liewuwei Legion.

Tong concrete, word blade mountain. Forty years old, with the rank of major general. He was an old subordinate of the British Prince, and was later transferred to Jinju and served as the commander of the Shuozhou Guard. When the Northern Xinjiang Front Army was formed, he was recommended by the British Duke to serve as the commander of the Sixth Army Corps. This person has the demeanor of an elder, speaks in a gentle manner, and has a majesty of his own.

As for the last Hou Jian, the word Yunfu. But it was Marshal Zhuge who was the person.

The four people standing in the tent can be said to be the four most heavyweight people in the Northern Xinjiang Front, and each of them has their own style. Of course, limited to the military rules and systems established by the Holy Ancestor, the four of them could only obey Hu Gong's military orders, and could not disobey them. And under normal circumstances, they would not have made their own suggestions to Hu Gong - especially strategic advice! This is the exclusive right of Hu Gong and the staff officers around him!

But the current situation is a little different, the staff officers of the marshal's tent are divided into two factions, and there is no dispute, and Hu Gong does not dare to make a decision, so he summons the four of them to discuss.

Each corps commander also had his own staff officer by his side. They are also well aware of the current situation, and they have discussed it with the staff officers before. So when Hu Gong asked, everyone had their own opinions. But at the end of the day, there are only three opinions from the four of them.

Li Wu and Tong Concrete have the same opinion, that is, the whole army will move to Feiyun Fort, rely on Feiyun Fort to deal with the enemy, and at the same time open up the road to the south, get in touch with Duxinzhou, and let Laozhou send troops again.

And Lei Heng's suggestion is more special, he means that the whole army will not go south. To the east, retreat to Kulen first, and then make a conclusion.

Both views are intended for retreat.

Finally, Hou Jian. His opinion was: "I intend to abandon the lower reaches of the Zabkhan River, and go all out to defend the two provinces of Dingbian and Jiankun, and at the same time station heavy troops in Kobdo." ”

This view was unexpected. Hou Jian, who has always been known as a "rabbit". How could you stick to this suggestion?

Hou Jian explained, and everyone understood. Actually, now it seems. It seems that the Northern Front is surrounded. But looking at the entire map, the Yue clan's more than one million troops are not surrounded by our Han army? Hou Jian's view was to block the possibility of the Yueshi people fleeing west and north, so he stayed here, waiting for Yigong's Western Frontier Front to take Dihua, and then waved his army north. and the Northern Frontier Front to annihilate the Yueshi, the only combatant soldier of more than one million. At that time, not only will the plight of the Northern Frontier Front be solved, but it will also be able to quell the Yue's rebellion in one go!

"It's a crazy plan!" Li Wu took the lead and said, "What if Yigong can't go north in time?" What if the Yue Clan rebels go south? To know. Our army now has only ten days' bread! ”

Tong Tong agreed with Li Wu's point of view and said: "Soldiers, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must not be careless." If according to what General Hou said, it will undoubtedly put more than 100,000 robes of our northern Xinjiang front army in danger. In case of annihilation, won't the northern frontier be cracked? Marshal, this is not an appropriate move. ”

Hou Jian said: "From the day my Third Army was besieged by the Yue Clan, this northern frontier has long been cracked. If we retreat south, this rift will not be repaired, but if we stay here, there is still hope to mend this rift. ”

While Hou Jian was talking, Zhuge Yun, who was listening, looked at Dianmu with a frown. But I saw that Dian Mu Zheng and a few staff officers brought by Hou Jian were standing aside and whispering.

Zhuge Yun's pupils contracted, and hatred rose in his heart.

"Xu Dong, Dianmu?" Zhuge Yun finally understood why Hou Jian came up with this battle plan - it must have been the work of these two people.

The person next to Xu Dong and Dianmu was Hou Jian's staff officer Baili Shu. At this moment, the three of them are whispering, and these three people are enough to influence the decision of the two bigwigs of the Northern Frontier Front.

Needless to say, Xu Dong and Dianmu are both characters who have followed Hu Gong for a long time, and they must know Hu Gong's personality very well. What about the 100-mile beam? He relied on Hou Jian to achieve military merits. And Hou Jian was reprimanded by the marshal when he returned to the marshal's camp some time ago because of the loss of the Third Army. Although he was not reprimanded, the soldiers of the other legions were quite contemptuous of the Third Legion. In order to gain respect, Hou Jian must be anxious to obtain Hu Gong's trust, so it is not impossible to listen to Xu Dong's plan.

Thinking about it this way, General Hou's opinion is actually the opinion of Dianmu and Xu Dong.

After Zhuge Yun thought about these things clearly, he felt a little hateful. However, it is not that he hates Hou Jian's suggestion, but that he hates Dianmu and Xu Dong.

As a staff officer, what plan is there to propose directly to the marshal, why do you want to fake others? Isn't this fooling the marshal?

Obviously, Zhuge Yun, who has just joined the army for less than a year, hates this practice very much. He didn't understand that this was actually a helpless choice for Mingzhe to protect himself. Dian Mu and Xu Dong mentioned to Hu Gong, which may not be able to attract Hu Gong's attention, and for Hou Jian, who is the commander of the legion, the effect may be completely different.

On the issue of whether to fight or defend, Li Wu, Lei Heng, Tong Xu, and Hou Jian could not help Hu Gong make a decision. This decision can only be made by Hu Gong himself.

In the course of the deliberations with the four generals, the staff officers of the Marshal's Tent and the Legion's Tent were all on the sidelines.

Unlike the staff officers, who were talking on paper, the plans and suggestions put forward by the four generals were rather sharp. After leaving the question of war and defense to Hu Gong to decide, the four generals respectively proposed the current problems to be solved, and the first was grain and grass.

"After a year of fighting in the western part of Beihai State, most of the place has been destroyed. There were no Wranglers to be found in any of the pastures, and they were either killed by the Lunar and Hungarian forces or conscripted into the army. Serve as a servant. Li Wu stroked the ink hair and said, "The central part is a desert Gobi, and it has always been deserted. In the past, it was quite difficult to obtain food in the local area. There is not much grain and grass left in the treasury of Dingbian Province. The last general thought that the foundation of the road to the south was also here. ”

Tong Tong continued: "Moreover, the morale of the army is insufficient, since the Third Army broke through, the combat power of the Yue Clan's rebels is quite strong in the army, which should be noted. In the end, the army will be sent to suppress the rumors, but the symptoms will not be cured. If we want to reverse this rumor in one fell swoop, our army needs to win a big battle to recover. ”

Hou Jian was a little embarrassed, the combat power of the Yue clan was exaggerated, which was not unrelated to the remnants of the Third Legion that he brought back. In this regard, Hou Jian could only clasp his fists and salute: "The last general will be guilty." Please, marshal! ”

Hu Gong's attention was not here with Hou Jian, and he waved his hand and said: "The crime of this matter is not in Yunfu, there is no need to say more." But what you're saying is that you have to win a big game, and that's the priority. Tingshan, Liyuan. Are you prepared for this? ”

Li Wu and Lei Heng glanced at each other, but Lei Heng saluted and said, "Marshal." It's not hard to win. Brother Tingshan and I have already made up our minds, but we just need the marshal to move the place where we are stationed to General Tong......"

"Your breakthrough is in Kobdo?" Hu Gong asked.

Li Wu said: "Not bad. Kobdo's delay is related to the strength of our army. In the past 10 days, only the 1st Brigade of the Liewuwei and the former division of our Flying Cavalry Guard participated in the battle, and Kobdo was surrounded by lakes on three sides, and Lake Dele, Lake Har and Lake Harsul were surrounded by each other, which was not conducive to the vertical and horizontal iron cavalry. As soon as the Yueshi rebels encountered the attack of our cavalry, they rowed into the middle of the lake, and waited for the Liewuwei to build a raft to encircle and suppress it. If the marshal moves south and presses all the martyrs, he will definitely be able to take Kobdo. Lock the way of the Yue people to return to the north......"

Speaking of this, Li Wu suddenly paused, and his expression when he looked at Hou Jian was suddenly a little surprised. Li Wu realized that he seemed to be agreeing to Hou Jian's plan in disguise by saying this.

Hu Gong closed his eyes, pondered for a long time before opening his eyes, and suddenly beckoned to Zhuge Yun.

Zhuge Yun hurriedly stepped forward: "Marshal? ”

"Take out the plan that the old man gave you yesterday and show it to the generals."

"Whoa." Zhuge Yun was a little reluctant, but he did not go against Hu Gong's intentions, and immediately asked people to take out the battle plan that Hu Gong handed over to their team for discussion yesterday and hand it over to the four generals.

The battle plan was not complicated, only a few pages, and the four generals flipped through them one by one, but they showed different expressions. Li Wu frowned more and more the more he looked at it, Lei Heng showed a rather reluctant look, but Hou Jian looked surprised. As for Tong Cong, he still looked indifferent, but his eyes were a little bright.

Xu Dong and Baili Shu, who were listening to the side, looked at Dianmu at the same time, but Dianmu shook his head suspiciously, indicating that he didn't know that Duke Hu had issued a battle plan for Zhuge Yun to discuss this matter.

Hu Gong picked up the tea cup on the table, sipped it gently, and swept everyone in the tent with sharp eyes, taking in their expressions. Seeing that it was almost over, he put down the teacup and said, "Do you think the old man's plan is okay?" ”

The four generals put down the plan in their hands, and Zhuge Yun put it away and kept it properly.

Li Wu pinched the ink hair under his chin and bowed his head silently. Tong Concrete also had a calm face, and didn't seem to want to speak first. Although Hou Jian wanted to speak, but when he thought of the content of the plan, it was mainly based on the Flying Cavalry Guard and the Fierce Martial Guard, and his Third Legion was disabled and could not participate at all, so he was silent. Although Lei Heng was reckless, he was exquisite, and when he saw that none of the three of them had the intention of speaking, he also planned to pretend to be deaf.

Seeing this, Hu Gong said: "Since the four generals have no objections, then follow the plan!" ”

"Marshal," Zhuge Yun said suddenly. provoked everyone's attention.

Hu Gong frowned, glared at him dissatisfied, and then got up and shouted: "Pass the old man's military order!" ”

Everyone got up suddenly, the armor slammed, and they were slaughtered, and the general and everyone saluted Hu Gong together: "Subordinates listen to orders." ”

"Order, the marshal's big tent is stationed in the Sixth Legion."

"Order, the Flying Cavalry Guard Division withdraws from Kobdo and moves towards Otegan."

"Order, Liewuwei will set off immediately, and the limit is to capture Kobdo within five days."

"Order, the Fifth Army to the north, send troops to Ertegon."

"Order, Dingbian Mansion is fortified and cleared, and the whole city is mobilized to defend Jiankun."

"From the moment the military order is issued, the whole army must be dispatched within one day, and those who violate it will be engaged in military law!"

A series of military orders were issued, and everyone was awe-inspired.

"Wow. Obey the orders of the marshal! The Great Han is mighty! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"It seems that the marshal is in conflict with the Roman god of war." In a small camp tent next to the marshal's tent, Hou Jian slowly took a sip of mare's milk tea and said softly.

Sitting opposite Hou Jian was Zhuge Yun.

Hou Jiannai was Marshal Zhuge 's protégé, and the two met when Zhuge Yun was young. So when Hou Jian rushed to the marshal's tent from Feiyun Castle, he saw him. The two met a few more times after that.

"Uncle Shi, I think the marshal is a little presumptuous." Zhuge Yun muttered dissatisfiedly, added Hou Jian's mare's milk tea, and said in his mouth, "At this moment, I don't want to save Feiyun Castle, but I want to use Feiyun Castle as bait." This move is tantamount to using the Fourth Army Corps as a pawn, and even if the marshal's will is achieved, the Fourth Army is afraid that there will not be a few people left. In this way, is he not afraid of chilling the hearts of soldiers? ”

Hou Jian is a protégé of Marshal Zhuge and a contemporary Zhiping. Therefore, Zhuge Yun wants to call Hou Jian Uncle Shi.

Hou Jian smiled and said, "My nephew." Don't you hear that one will make a thousand bones wither? The marshal's move was also a dangerous victory. If it's a success. This Northern Frontier Sky Crack immediately made up for the ......"

"But what if it fails?" Zhuge Yun still said angrily, "When the marshal discussed the plan with me yesterday, I said that this move is too risky, the future is uncertain, and the future is uncertain, which is equivalent to placing the army on a fire. If Narovinis is not fooled, won't I be completely trapped by the Northern Frontier Front? ”

Zhuge Yun's temper Hou Jian also knows a thing or two. He has been brilliant since he was a child, and everyone in the land of Bashu is known as a "genius". The heart is arrogant and tight.

In this regard, Hou Jian could only persuade with a wry smile: "My nephew." It is impossible for the military to be stable all the time, but we must not blindly take risks. I've heard a little about your previous plan, the previous one was too risky, and now you're too conservative. ”

Fortunately, Hou Jian has a great relationship with the Zhi family, if others say so, Zhuge Yun has to turn his face on the spot. But even if it was what Hou Jian said, Zhuge Yun's face was still a little ugly, and he clenched his fists gloomily and said, "Please also ask Uncle Shi for advice." ”

Hou Jian took a sip of milk tea and sighed: "Uncle Shi is also a general of the defeated army, how dare he give advice." I just want to tell my nephew that the marshal's move is the real military practice. You also saw it in the big tent, Li Tingshan and Tong Jianshan are together, and all you want is to withdraw first. But Lei Liyuan was thinking about self-preservation. What does this mean? This means that the morale of our army is not in line with the army now! No matter which suggestion the marshal chooses, it will make the morale of the army even more sluggish, so the marshal did not choose any of the suggestions, but found another strange path and took an unusual path - hehe, the army marched into Otegon, it was really a good move! ”

Zhuge Yun was dissatisfied: "The little nephew can't see where it is good. Naetegang is east of the Orkhon Valley, north of Hangai Mountain, west of the Wuli Yasu River, south of the Bayan grassland occupied by the Yueshi people, this place of four battles should be attacked but not defended, there are more than 400 miles away from Feiyun Castle, this is simply the fourth army of Feiyun Castle abandoned! ”

Hou Jian suddenly said: "Remember, the nephew is not in charge of the army!" There is no one on the battlefield who cannot be abandoned. Although Otegan is inconspicuous, hasn't his nephew found him valuable? ”

"What is it worth?" Zhuge Yun was puzzled.

Hou Jian sighed deeply, although Zhuge Yun is smart, but his sophistication and battlefield experience are too little, not to mention his poor life, he didn't even understand Hu Gong's true intentions.

Hou Jian dipped his fingers in mare's milk and drew two white lines on the table.

Zhuge Yun looked at it for a long time, pouted and said: "This is the general distribution map of the Yue's people and our army, the Yue's people are entrenched like snakes in the Jinshan Forest to the line from Chagan Lake, blocking the road for our army to return south, and there are Yue-Hun coalition troops in the north to stop Tangnu Wulianghai and Kobdo...... So what? ”

Hou Jian nodded a dot in the middle of the two white lines, and said in a deep voice: "Look at the virtuous nephew, this is Ertegan." ”

Zhuge Yun suddenly opened his mouth wide, his eyes instantly widened, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "Seven inches, seven inches to fight a snake!" ”

"Not bad." Hou Jian nodded, "This Ertegang is at the seven inches of the 'long snake' of the Yue Clan. To the east, you can take the 'snake head' Orkhon Valley, to the south you can cut off the 'snake belly' Chagan Lake, and to the west you can hit the 'snake tail' Jinshan Forest. And there is Hangai Mountain as a barrier in the north, where is this place not a good place? ”

"But, but ......," Zhuge Yun said, "but will the Yue Clan still be separated by us?" If they come around us, won't they trap us in Ertegon? ”

Hou Jian smiled: "The marshal has already made arrangements, what is the purpose of Lie Wuwei's north entry into Kobdo?" What is the purpose of the mobilization of the whole city of Dingbian Province? Besides, there is Feiyun Castle nailed to the edge of Jinshan Forest, if the Yue's people don't take Feiyun Castle, they will be like a fish in the throat, like a mang on their backs, do they dare to surround it? They don't dare! Even if their commander is the Roman god of war! ”

"But, but ......" Zhuge Yun stood up and walked around the tent, looking anxious, "What if Feiyun Castle can't hold it?" Also, what if the Fourth Army is defeated and can only be trapped in the lonely fort, and the enemy doesn't care about Feiyun Castle and directly surrounds it? ”

Hou Jian looked at his nephew, who had been stimulated by this plan, and said indifferently: "The marshal will not let the Yue people give up Feiyun Castle, because Feiyun Castle has what the Yue people want!" ”

"What's that?" Zhuge Yun sneered, "Is it heavy?" Grain and grass? Those things are more to be fished in Chagan Lake than Feiyun Castle. ”

Hou Jian's old face was slightly red, but he sank the baggage in Chagan Lake.

"It's an honor! The honor of capturing and killing the Marquis of the Great Han! Hou Jian said in one word.

"Marquis?" Zhuge Yun's eyes widened in confusion, "Which marquis is in Feiyun Castle?" ”

Hou Jian smiled bitterly a few times: "Bohai Hou! ”

Zhuge Yun was completely shocked and speechless, and just pointed at Hou Jian in a daze, as if he was a snake choked by the neck...... Well, long snake. (To be continued......)
