Chapter 102: The Storm in the Quartet (Part II)
Xing**, Yongxing County.
After a rainstorm, the entire Yongxing County ushered in a long-lost short-term coolness.
A few horses rode straight north of the city on the muddy road. Due to the heavy rain, the construction work in Yongxing County has just begun, and there are shirtless people coming and going along the way. At this time, the figure of this majestic city was already faintly visible. In front, the continuous camps and the flags dancing in the wind are the atmosphere of the army standing on the dragon plate.
In a moment, several cavalrymen had already driven directly to the main camp of the Tianwu Army, and a flag with the word "Su" rose in the wind in the ranks, and the gate of the village slowly opened. Without the slightest hesitation, several cavalrymen rushed in.
The continuous camp tent and the huge school field, Su Liuyi held the reins of the horse tightly, although it was not the first time he saw it, but he still couldn't hide his excitement in his heart. This is the army he participated in creating, and it is also the strong army that he relied on to dominate the world in the future!
Ye Yingwu entrusted the army of 20,000 people to himself, and the trust and value in it were grateful to Su Liuyi, who had nothing to rely on except for the fame of his family, and this kindness was naturally also heart-wrenching, and there was nothing to repay, so he could only do his best to bring this Tianwu Army into one of the strongest troops in the world, so that the Mongolian Iron Cavalry would also be bleeding before the Tianwu Army!
"See General Su!" Several generals have already come out of the big tent, Jiang Hao, Wang Jin, Zhang Cheng, Ma Tingyou, Zhang Shun plus Guo Chang, in addition to Ye Yingwu, who is already on the westbound road, and Zhang Gui, who is going east, the entire Tianwu Army generals have been here.
It stands to reason that Su Liuyi is the commander of the four deputy commanders of the Tianwu Army, and Ye Yingwu is not there, so everyone should call him "Envoy", but no one made an exception, because in their hearts, Envoy Jun only belongs to the title of that person. And Su Liuyi has no complaints about this, after all, he was not beaten to death by Jia Yidao as a scapegoat, and he was so trusted by Ye Yingwu that he had no barriers, where would he compete with Ye Yingwu for the title of envoy.
When the two were together, Su Liuyi often called Ye Yingwu "envoy".
"Let's go in and talk." Su Liuyi nodded slightly.
The few thin or burly generals in front of him were all surprisingly young, and Ye Yingwu, who led them, was only crowned this year, and the thirty-year-old Su Liuyi was already the oldest among these people.
This is a young army, a nascent army. Perhaps under the leadership of Ye Yingwu, this strong team can really get rid of the cumbersome and lengthy system of the Great Song Dynasty and save this vast world.
A group of generals stood in turn, Su Liuyi did not sit down, but pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and a strong murderous aura had already permeated his eyebrows: "Where is the envoy now?" ”
Ma Tingyou nodded slightly at Guo Chang beside him, Guo Chang flashed out of the ranks, and said without humility or arrogance: "General Qiyu, the envoy has already passed Ezhou." ”
Longxing Mansion was in turmoil overnight, Guo Huai was used as a chess piece, and almost died under the knife, since then, Guo Chang, who has always been cautious and even a little timid, has gradually changed, every time Ma Tingyou sees him, he always feels that this once been hollowed out by wine, there is always something burning in his black eyes.
And since then, Guo Chang has become more meticulous and hard-working, with the efforts of him and Ma Tingyou, the six doors have been operating impressively, and there is a faint posture that surpasses the Jinyiwei who once went hand in hand.
For this young man, Su Liuyi also had a good impression of it, and nodded appreciatively at the moment: "Have the six doors and the Jinyi guard already followed to escort each other?" ”
Guo Chang immediately replied truthfully: "Ezhou has relatively few people, and I didn't send people over, but Yang Xiaoniang has already rushed over directly from Longxing Mansion with people, and from the perspective of footsteps, it will take about a day or two to meet with the envoy, and the people in Chongqing Mansion and Luzhou have already known." ”
Zhang Cheng also stood up and added: "The Jinyi guards of Xiangyang and Tongchuan Mansions are already in full array. If there is any disturbance, it will be reported immediately. ”
"Hmm." Su Liuyi hummed lightly, and then said, "In this way, the Tianwu Army can already prepare to go north to threaten Ashu's flank. I have already discussed it with Lu Tongju and Xie Zhixian, and I want to hear the opinions of the army again, I don't know what you think. ”
Slightly stunned, Jiang Hao and Wang Jin immediately rushed out: "There will be no objection to the end!" ”
And Zhang Cheng and the others hesitated for a moment, although Su Liuyi was honest, it didn't mean that he didn't know some language skills, just now she didn't say what Lu Xiufu and Xie Fangde thought of it, so thinking about it, the views of these two civil officials were different from what Su Liuyi thought in his heart, so Su Liuyi didn't want the decision of the two of them to affect these generals.
Sending troops at this time has both advantages and disadvantages for the Tianwu Army.
At this time, the Tianwu Army has not really completed its training, to tell the truth, two soldiers may be able to stop a soldier of the original Tianwu Army, so in the face of the overwhelming Mongolian iron cavalry, the odds of victory are undoubtedly very low, except for the emergence of a series of Tianshi help like the Jute War.
But in other words, now Ah Shu lost his troops in the first battle of Jute, not only 20,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, but the water division that had been hidden in the snow was wiped out, so it was difficult to threaten the Tianwu Army with the backing of the two Huai Water Divisions, and Xiangyang opposite him was an army of 150,000, even if Lu Wende did not have the courage to attack, and the 150,000 army was stationed head-on, it was a lot of pressure for anyone, you must know that the troops in Ah Shu's hands were only more than 100,000, although they were replenished several times after the first battle of Jute, but it was still less than 150,000.
If the Tianwu army can go north at this time, even if it does not cross the Han River, it is enough to contain a lot of attention from Ah Shu, so as to reduce a lot of fetters for Ye Yingwu's actions in the west.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Cheng and Ma Tingyou glanced at each other, and Zhang Cheng took the lead in saying, "The last general seconded the proposal." The Six Doors and the Brocade Guard must go all out. ”
Zhang Cheng's statement represents that Jinyiwei and Liumen have clearly supported Su Liuyi. And Zhang Shun didn't have anything to hesitate at this time, he wanted to stand up, but considering that he had just taken on a heavy responsibility, he shouldn't be so active in jumping out. But if you don't say anything now, you really want to fight against Su Liuyi:
"The last general seconded."
"In that case, where should the Tianwu Army go, and what do you think?" Su Liuyi nodded slightly, sat on the chair, and could see that the heart he had been hanging on had finally been put down peacefully.
Frowning, Zhang Cheng, Ma Tingyou and the others were silent, Su Liuyi came up and didn't say his opinion, firstly, to ask for everyone's opinions, after all, they should brainstorm, and secondly, they also had the intention of avoiding suspicion, and expressed to the generals that they did not have the intention of replacing Ye Yingwu in charge of the Tianwu Army. And Zhang Cheng and Ma Tingyou, as the helmsmen of Six Doors and Jinyiwei, were originally providers of intelligence, so they were naturally reluctant to get too involved in military politics at this time.
In addition, Zhang Shun, who had just been entrusted with an important task and was humble everywhere, in the entire camp tent, only Jiang Hao and Wang Jin were the only two stunned young men who were really suitable to speak. Of course, after passing through Tongshan County, no one has any contempt for them anymore, after all, it is precisely because of the two of them that they finally got the ironclad evidence of Jia Yufeng's rebellion, and in the end, these two guys still returned with beauty in everyone's envious eyes.
The so-called Zhang Fei can also embroider, although these two stunned young men are rampage when they fight, but in this worldly situation, no one dares to despise it.
Pursing his lips slightly, Jiang Hao gently touched Wang Jin beside him. Since Tongshan County, the two of them have become half brothers-in-law, and they are really close to each other, so they naturally want to unite the front at this time, and Jiang Hao, who has always been too lazy to use his brain, naturally let Wang Jin jump out.
Knowing that he couldn't drag on like this at this time, Wang Jin didn't hesitate, and immediately stood up and said: "General Qiyu, the last general thinks that since the Tianwu army is coercing Ashu, it is better for the whole army to go out, and the front compartment will go directly to the bank of the Han River in Huangzhou, the left compartment will go to Macheng, and the right compartment will go to the border of Qizhou. ”
Although the first one jumped out, Wang Jin's words still had a lot of reservations, and it could even be said to be an ambiguous and too broad suggestion. For the Tianwu Army, no matter who suggests, it must be this way of arranging troops, because the Chinese army and the rear compartment were originally the main generals leaving office, so the combat effectiveness and organizational strength are weaker than the other three compartments, plus Xing** needs to stay behind, so the rear compartment and the Chinese army must be in the rear, and the front compartment, the left compartment and the right compartment are naturally lined up in front of the zigzag according to their names.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the Tianwu Army is all dispatched, if there are only one or two compartments going north, there is no need to discharge such a large formation, but in that case, it will not cause too much pressure on Ah Shu, and it will not be able to achieve the established goal, so whether the Tianwu Army is dispatched is already a given result.
As if he had expected Wang Jin to answer like this, Su Liuyi smiled lightly, and then said, "Front compartment, have you crossed the Han River?" ”
Taking a breath of cool air, Wang Jin suddenly hesitated, crossing the Han River in the front compartment means putting five thousand soldiers in the tiger's mouth, who can guarantee that the two Huai Shui divisions have enough ability to rescue these five thousand soldiers from Ah Shu's hands? If Ye Yingwu came back and found that he had lost 5,000 soldiers and horses in the battle even though he was luring the enemy, I am afraid that these people present would not be able to eat the water and walk around.
It's really hard to answer this question.
Gritting his teeth, Wang Jin could only bite the bullet and say: "How is the front compartment, you should also ask General Jiang's opinion, after all, it is his subordinate son, and the last general will not dare to judge lightly." ”
Nodding casually, Su Liuyi turned his gaze to Jiang Hao again.
Jiang Hao stood up with a big grin and arched his hand: "Five thousand sons in the front compartment of the Tianwu Army, ready to be dispatched by the general at any time!" If you can cross the Han River, you must live up to your mission, even if you can't take the head of the old thief, you will let the Mongolian Tartar know that our Han soldiers are not easy to mess with! ”
"In that case, General Zhang of the two Huaishui Divisions, a certain person went to say that the Tianwu Army, the whole army is going north!" Su Liuyi's murderous aura that had been covered up before was once again permeated, as if it was still Su Liuyi who led 6,000 people from the Anji Army to block the impact of 20,000 iron cavalry!
Shocked by this long-lost murderous aura, everyone who had thousands of thoughts in their hearts subconsciously straightened their waists, and looked at the general who was standing above who was more calm and resolute than Ye Yingwu's majestic and heroic hair, if Ye Yingwu was a snow-bright long sword that pierced all the darkness of heaven and earth, then the figure in front of him was more like a hard and tall shield, and no one could shake him in the slightest.
"The last general obeys!" A group of young generals shouted at the same time, in unison.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Xing**, Yongxing County.
The red flag danced in the wind, and there was also a slaughter in the county office.
Lu Xiufu stood with his hands in his hands, wearing a green shirt, which set off his straight posture. After the rain, the air was a little cool, and all the grass and trees seemed to have been carefully wiped. Although after a rainstorm and countless fallen flowers, there are still more gorgeous and blooming flowers standing proudly on the branches, as if announcing their high vitality to the sky.
Seeing that Lu Xiufu had been like this without saying a word, Xie Fangde couldn't sit still after all, stood up and said, "Why is the general judgment so far? But do you think that the Tianwu Army should not be reckless and go north? ”
Xie Fangde's words still showed that after some careful consideration, the Tianwu Army should go north, this was already decided when Ye Yingwu left, and Lu Xiufu should have expressed it even if he was against it at that time, so if Lu Xiufu could make a deep groan, it was only possible that he thought that the time for the Tianwu Army to go north was too early, in case Ah Shu saw through the clues, not only would it be difficult to help Ye Yingwu, but it might be a surprise to the snake.
"I just think that a large number of people in Huangzhou have moved inward, and General Zhang has been guarding the camp of the two Huaishui divisions, and Brother Song Rui followed the envoy to the west, sending troops to Huangzhou not only needs to be supplied with grain and grass, but also the local cities and camps have been war-torn for a long time, dilapidated, or in disrepair, although it is easy for the Tianwu army to advance northward, but it is difficult to retreat, from the south bank of the Han River all the way to the north bank of the river, there is no pass that can be relied on for a long time." Lu Xiufu said slowly, "Although there is nothing wrong with going north, the problem of the back road has not been solved, and if something happens, it will really be a situation where the whole army will be annihilated." ”
Frightened in his heart, Xie Fang hurriedly said, "Didn't the general judge explain what he thought to General Su?" General Su has always been a cautious person, it is impossible not to notice this, even if he is not aware of it, he should have understood it after hearing what the general judgment said. ”
"General Su is also helpless," Lu Xiufu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Now the whole Xing** is like a big construction site, building civil engineering everywhere, where there is effort to run Huangzhou, so no matter whether you send troops early or late, you will face this difficult problem." ”
Xie Fang was stunned, and could only accompany Lu Hideo to smile bitterly. It was good for Ye Yingwu to move the people of Huangzhou inward, but how could he have expected such a situation today, I don't know if this is considered to be lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.
"Forget it, after all, with General Su here, there shouldn't be any big mess." Lu Xiufu sighed and said, "The construction of the city wall in Yongxing County is almost the same, how is the construction of the walls and camps on the other side of Banbi Mountain?" Do I need to send some people over? ”
Hearing Lu Xiufu mention these things, Xie Fang was naturally shocked.
How the Tianwu Army is, it's not something they should worry about, how to build this Xing** battalion into a rear barrier that can be relied on, is what they should do.
