In fact, there are only two roads in front of the Han army now.

First, take it when you see it, and now withdraw and return to the original plan and stick to Luntai City. Having defeated the Ili army, they are already making a lot of money. However, this is a defeat, not an annihilation, if the Yue people are given a chance to breathe, these defeated Yue rebels will soon regroup, and then there will be another confrontation. The previous efforts of the Han army were in vain.

Second, it is to continue to send troops to participate in the war. Fight this battle down. After all, now the Han army has the upper hand on the scene. The Ili Legion was defeated, and although the Donating Legion was still holding on, the Han Army was able to attack it from both flanks, and it was believed that it would not last long if it could fight again. But the problem is that the Wangdu army, which has the strongest strength of the Yue clan, has come, and the goal is to directly target the garrison of the newly defeated Ili Legion. Once they enter the war, it is good that the front division of the First Army Corps in Ganzhou can block it, but if they can't stop it, let alone attack the Donor Army from both flanks, whether the Han army can retreat with all its body is said.

A multiple-choice question, but Yigong has never been able to make up his mind.

This is not a simple multiple-choice question, and there is a chance to win in any choice, but it is also possible to lose.

Time passed minute by minute, and Yigong always frowned and groaned, without decision. Countless battle reports were summarized, and the front division seemed to have blocked the attack of the Yue Clan's royal capital army, at least the intelligence from Yao Ping's brigade showed that the forward of the Yue Clan's royal capital army had retreated.

At this moment, the sun has sunk in the west, and it is almost dark. And nearly two hours have passed since the trap guards launched the attack, and their physical strength is almost exhausted.

Wu Chuan gritted his teeth and said, "Marshal, you can't wait any longer. As soon as it gets dark, it will be harder for us to expand our gains. ”

Du Wei didn't speak for so long, and finally spoke at this moment: "Marshal, let's let the people of the First Army of Suzhou withdraw and transfer troops from the Che Division." Let Du Shan leave a division to guard the car. Others rushed to join the battle. ”

Wu Chuan glanced at Du Wei this time and said with a smile: "Oh, you agree with me this time?" ”

Du Wei sighed: "No matter what decision you make, it's better than no decision at all." Marshal, without further ado! ”

Yigong didn't seem to hear Du Wei's words, and only said after a while: "His Majesty the Holy Ancestor said that there is only one Li Ling in the Great Han. Alas, attacking and defending is just a thought, but this thought is difficult. The order was given, and the former divisions of the First Army Corps in Ganzhou converged and fell into formation. The main attack is on the left flank of the Donating Legion, and the Wangdu Legion is let in. ”

"Huh?!"

In front of the sand table, everyone was surprised at the same time.

"Marshal, no."

"How does this work?"

"Never, Marshal!"

……

The former division merged with the trap guard, and the main attack was on the donor corps, so that it would be. It means that there will be no blockade to the west of Luntai City, and the Wang Du Army can directly attack Luntai City. This. This is to exchange Luntai City for the Donation Legion!

Du Wei was stunned. Immediately came to his senses, Yigong thought about it for so long, and then said "There is only one Li Ling in the Han", he is going to use himself as bait to fish the royal army to come to Luntai City! Or to put it mildly, he is persecuting the Yueshi people. Hurry up and turn over the hole cards and take a look!

Yigong's mentality seems to be messed up.

"Needless to say, carry out the military order!" Yigong's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice.

The staff officers looked worried. But the military order cannot be violated, and the order can only be passed out.

Yigong glanced at Wu Chuan and Du Wei's two henchmen, and suddenly smiled: "Sizhou, Weiting, do you also think this matter is impossible?" ”

Wu Chuan said with a worried face: "Marshal, this matter is okay. But I think it's still too risky, why don't the marshal leave the Daxu banner in Luntai City, and how about we escort you back to Shanshan City? ”

Wu Chuan wanted to let the Yigong Golden Cicada come out of its shell and bring the Wangdu Army to come while ensuring his own safety.

Yigong shook his head and said: "Shanshan City is too far away from Luntai City, and the fighter plane is fleeting, and if you delay your return trip, you may miss a good opportunity." What's more, this Daxu is a symbol of my Han Marshal, in case it is taken by the Yue's people, even if this battle is won, it will not be glorious. ”

Speaking of this, Yigong looked at Du Wei again and said, "Curtain Pavilion, what do you think?" ”

Du Wei solemnly saluted Yigong, and suddenly smiled: "Marshal, there is an old saying in my hometown: If you gamble and don't lose, you will win if you love to fight." Now that the marshal has made a decision, his subordinates are resolutely obedient! ”

"Hahaha!" Yigong laughed loudly, "It's a good 'gambling is not lost, love to fight to win', yes, the old man will bet on this game with the eldest prince of the Yue clan to see who can win." ”

After saying this, Yigong seemed to let go of his worries, and said with a smile: "Let Yingqi's division come, you don't have to go back." The old man didn't need a first-class army to win this battle. ”

Du Wei was stunned for a moment, and was about to persuade, but Yigong smiled and said, "What does the pavilion want to say, the old man knows." immediately ordered Cheng Zhijie, the veteran ruffian, to withdraw and rush to Yanqi City overnight. This veteran ruffian, as the commander of the first guard, actually followed others to charge, if it weren't for the fact that he was the one I single-handedly promoted, I really wanted to ask His Majesty for a copy of him......"

Du Wei's heart was relieved. Whether it is to transfer Cheng Chu back to Yanqi to command the group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals of the trapping guard, at least Yigong is not arrogant at the moment, but decisive.

"War is made up of countless accidents, and as long as these accidents do not change the outcome, we should not be afraid. This was said by the famous Carthaginian captain Hannibal. ”

In the marching procession of the Yue Clan's royal capital legion, a Westerner with a red cloth on his head said to the people around him very smugly.

This is the former division of the Wangdu Army, and their purpose is to garrison the Ili Army seven miles away.

"Thank you, Lord Prometheus, for your teachings. I benefited a lot from the quote of Marshal Hannibal, and my heart was finally at peace. The people next to him were not hesitant to praise him.

The smug look on the face of the Westerner named Prometheus is even more obvious. This Prometheus is the head of the Roman Cardinals, equivalent to the commander of the Han Empire. Although he was not a high military rank, he had a special status - he was the son of the governor of the Spanish province and a close disciple of Aristotle, the most famous scholar in Rome.

Of course, this Aristotle is not the ancient Greek one, but the same name.

The person who did not hesitate to praise him was the eldest prince of the Yue Clan, who was considered the most likely to inherit the throne of the Yue Clan. Abbas, Chinese name Zhang Yu. This prince of the Yue clan, who has reached the age of thirty, has a very Westernized face. If it weren't for the black hair and black eyes, it would really be considered a Westerner.

In fact, sacral is indeed more inclined to Western studies. When he was eight years old, when Zhang Sheng was still serving in the imperial capital, he enrolled in the imperial capital. Unlike other Han students who studied Confucianism, he liked to read books that introduced the West, and at the age of ten, he was familiar with Western works such as the General History of Rome, the Koran, and the Bible. At that time, only the all-inclusive capital of the Han Dynasty had so many Western books. To know. Both the Qur'an and the Bible were banned in the Roman Empire.

After Zhang Sheng returned to Dayue Prefecture to take up his post, his love for Western studies became even more intense. It just so happened that Da Yuezhou was able to have a lot of contact with Western civilization, which also made him feel like a fish in water. When he was eighteen years old, Zhang Sheng originally wanted to let Sacrum go to the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty to study, but Sacrum was resolutely opposed. And said that he wanted to go to Rome.

There was nothing wrong with this move at the time. There were also many Confucian and literati in the Han Dynasty who would send their sons to Rome or the Caliphate for further study, and when they returned to China, they could find good positions in the diplomatic service. So Sacrum went to Rome. And for the sake of the future. Zhang Sheng sent his wise young son Zhang Xian to the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty.

During his four years in Rome, he became even more obsessed with Western literature. Ancient Greece, ancient Persia, and the myths of the Alps, the fascinating Aegean Sea, and the vast Mediterranean Sea...... Everything in the West attracts the gaze of the sacral gaze. For this reason, Sacrum has a Chinese name and a Yue name at the same time. A Roman name was also given: Belgres. Sacral. Month.

It was while studying in Rome that he met Prometheus. At the Aristotle's admissions meeting, Sacrum failed to get in, and Prometheus successfully entered the Great Bright Academy. Becoming a close disciple of Aristotle, which made Sacrus very envious, and later he also had great respect for Prometheus. Even after returning to China, the two often exchanged letters.

And Prometheus, who graduated from Aristotle-Great Bright Academy, was sent to the Red Coats in the provinces of Asia for military service. After that, the Yue Clan rebelled, and the Red Coats intervened. At that time, the Redcoats planned to send Rovinis to the eldest prince of the Yue Clan, but Sacrum insisted that Prometheus be his "advisor", so Rovinis went to Beihai State, and Prometheus came to Dihua.

Here we have to say a few more about the Great Bright Academy in Rome. Compared with the University of Rome, the Great Bright Academy has less of an official identity and more of a free and romantic atmosphere. Influenced by the Han civilization, the universities in Rome were all based on the subject system, and the students were taught in batches, and a teacher was only responsible for one stage of education. The Great Bright College implements a one-teacher lifelong system, that is, like Aristotle, a certain number of students are enrolled, and then all education is taken care of by Aristotle.

This kind of education system is actually the education before the Great Han Holy Ancestor. For example, the seventy-two disciples of Confucius. This kind of education model is easy to cultivate the most high-end elites - of course, there are many mediocre people - and the Dahan model is like a crash course, which can quickly raise the overall education level.

In the Han Dynasty, this one-teacher lifelong education model has not been broken, many rich and noble families or princely families, while letting their children go to compulsory education, will also let them worship under the door of some famous scholars - in fact, it is similar to modern tutors, but modern tutors do not have the so-called teacher-student friendship, and this era still attaches great importance to the tradition of teachers and students.

Aristotle was the most famous theorist in Rome. He majored in philosophy and physics. Of course, as a specialty of ancient society, Aristotle was also a military scientist, military historian, strategist, and writer...... In short, it is an all-round talent, and at this time, it is not possible to subdivide every industry. After all, a teacher is a lifelong student, and students rely on the ability to survive after learning from the teacher, and if Aristotle could only do the same, it would be difficult to recruit students.

Prometheus studied with Aristotle for four years, but in fact he mainly studied linguistics, and he is proficient in the languages of the three countries in the world today, the caliphate, Roman, and of course, the universal language of the world, Chinese!

In addition, he specialized in ancient Egyptian and interpreted many wedge-shaped inscriptions of ancient Egyptian pharaohs, and was very famous in Roman linguistics. He even speaks seventeen different dialects. If it is placed in modern times, such a talent simply does not want to live too well, all kinds of halos will be put on him, not to mention that he is still the son of a governor, "rich and handsome" and "rich second generation" These words are not enough to describe his excellence!

It's a pity that this is not modern. Prometheus, who is so multilingual, is not particularly taken care of for this. After graduating, Prometheus could not return to the Spanish province for ten years because of his status as the son of the governor, and the universities did not offer him to teach, after all, he was too young. In addition, he had to serve in the military, so Prometheus reported another name of his own when he was serving in the military - the A-level certificate of military history of the Great Bright Academy. It was also this certificate that allowed Prometheus to enter the ranks of the Hundred Commanders of the Red Coats Army after intensive training and become a glorious Roman Imperial officer.

And did Prometheus have military talent? It should be said. He still has a certain degree of military accomplishment. As in the Han Empire, the training of military officers was not to be elite, but to be average. Let the quality of the grassroots regiments as a whole be improved, and know that it is enough to complete all military commands in accordance with the dogma.

Prometheus's favorite thing to do is to put the famous sayings of the ancient West on his lips. At the same time, he always uses the past as a metaphor for the present, and often talks about how XXX fought a battle and so on.

And in the strategic event of the Yue's people's abandonment of Dihua City. Prometheus was quite involved. It was he who was the first to come up with it—of course, he cited the example of Alexander's conquest of India in the ancient Macedonian empire, so as to convince Sacrate. Abbas.

So far, Prometheus' performance has been deserved. Although it is a bit of a rhetoric at times, the advice given is more pertinent and to the point. For example, this time he confronted the Han army in Luntai City. Prometheus said: "The Ili army will be the key to the success or failure of this campaign, and if you want to achieve a more brilliant record than Alexander the Great, you must put a force of no less than 7,000 men behind the Ili army." ”

As the truth turned out, as Prometheus said, the Ili army was the first to break through. The Han army changed from the initial tentative attack to a general attack. On the entire front, the Yue clan is already at an absolute disadvantage, and it seems that it will collapse at any time. In advance, he placed a brigade of the full cavalry division of the Wangdu Army in the flank and rear of the Ili Army, and finally relied on this brigade of soldiers to withstand the offensive of the Han army and collect the remnants of the army.

In these matters, Prometheus had a good foresight. This also made Sacrum more respectful of his advice.

However, not everyone is optimistic about spascarous. At the very least, another important figure in the royal army was dismissive of Prometheus. This person is Murdochzan, one of the key figures in the Yue's rebellion!

Murdoch praise, Chinese name Zhou Zheng. Originally a county lieutenant in the southern county of Dayue Prefecture, in modern times it is equivalent to a small role as the director of the public security bureau and the head of the county's armed forces. However, he got up early, was quite brave, and had a good strategy - as can be seen from his alliance with Starwan, Silikotu and others, and finally accepting the appeasement of the king of the Yue clan - Murdoxan is now the captain of the Yue Clan, one of the three auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, and the commander of the Yue Nash's legion.

His army this time was actually arranged by the Yue Clan, ostensibly to help the eldest prince defeat the Han army, so as to stabilize the power of the Yue Clan, but the real reason was that the Yue Clan King did not fully approve of Murdochzan's loyalty.

You must know that at this time, the king of the Yue clan himself is in Dihua, and his most trusted descendants such as the Wangdu Legion, the Fourth Legion, as well as the Ili Legion and the Donor Legion are all pressed on the front line, in this case, the Nash Legion stationed in Usu is like a knife under his throat, and this knife in the hands of an outsider like Murdokzan can't reassure him. So the king of the Yue clan arranged for Murdoxan to be here in the sacral area.

The reason why Murdoch likes Prometheus is actually very simple, he thinks that Prometheus is talking nonsense!

It is nonsense to give up Dihua, it is nonsense to confront Luntai with the Han army, and even the Ili army is a threat is nonsense.

These so-called "foresights" can be seen by anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story of the Yue clan.

However, who let Murdox praise only be a latecomer to this rebel team, and he said that it was useless to say anything without being able to fully gain the trust of the Moon King. Besides, Prometheus has been right so far, just what everyone understands.

But Sacrum doesn't think so. As the so-called "lover's eye comes out of Xi Shi", although Sacrum and Prometheus are not lovers, but under the premise that Sacrum thinks Prometheus is a talent, he will automatically ignore those ideas that are unfavorable to Prometheus, such as the sentence that the Ili Legion will become a threat to the battle, in fact, Sacrum has long thought of it - nonsense, the commander of the Ili Legion is a discordant with him. Abbas, it's strange not to be a threat - Sacrum even thinks that Prometheus is really his best friend, his Zhuge Kongming, because he completely guessed his own mind, doesn't that tell the story?

……

The army was advancing, and the forward troops had sent back the latest battle report, and the Han army did not hold the Ili legion station, nor did it pursue the advance of the Wangdu army, but prepared to cross the Tarim River and attack the Donyu army from the flank.

"Bailey, I think we should stop and talk to the staff officers, this seems like an opportunity." After listening to the military report, Prometheus pretended to speak profoundly.

Another nonsense.

Murdoch on the side couldn't help but slander in his heart. In front of the Han army, if they get out of the way, they can drive directly to Luntai City, and everyone knows that this is an opportunity.

"Bere" is Prometheus's nickname for sacral spare, showing intimacy. Sacrum nodded approvingly: "Order the forward, don't obstruct the Han army from crossing the river, gather the remnants, and check the situation." In addition, he ordered someone to quickly report the situation of the third prince. (To be continued......)
