Chapter 206: The Eagle Spreads Its Wings

"What are you singing?" He Bijun leaned against him and muttered.

"Nothing," he told her, "just a song I learned when I was a kid." Go to sleep, my baby queen must be exhausted. ”

"I don't want to sleep." He Bijun turned over, faced Li Guanqi and said, "Tell me about the war." Maybe I can give you a staff officer. ”

Li Guanqi sighed and said, "I have been in a state of excitement to suddenly face the war, but now that you are lying in my arms, I can truly feel the cruelty of war, whether this war is just or unjust. ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about. I only know that the purpose of fighting a war is to destroy the enemy to the greatest extent possible and to preserve myself. He Bijun stroked Li Guanqi's chest and said, "And you are right to fight this battle, so I am not afraid, and you should not be afraid." ”

Li Guanqi smiled lightly and said: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the way of life and death!" Although it is cruel, after this battle, it may take many years of recuperation to restore the vitality of the country, and many young lives may be sacrificed, but I will never be afraid of it, nor will I compromise for it. I understand very well that forgetting war will be dangerous, and belligerent will die, and I am now thinking about how to minimize the losses of this war. ”

"Then let's get this war to an end quickly." Although He Bijun's words have a coquettish flavor, they are also full of truth.

Li Guanqi touched her hair and said, "Yes." Once a war has begun, all we have to think about is how to end it! ”

He Bijun raised his head, looked at Li Guanqi's eyes and said, "You are my hope, and you are also the hope of all the great cadres." We all want you to defeat your opponents on the battlefield. Tell me about the current state of the war! ”

Li Guanqi turned over and said a little tiredly: "In the past two days, fierce battles have been fought at the major ferries of the Wujiang defense line. Our army's reaction was also quite rapid, and the passes were relatively well prepared, but the number of enemy troops was too large. We've lost a lot these days. But this is not the worst thing, it has always been Chen Guangxi's troops who have fought with us in Wujiang, and the Jiannan Army, which is much stronger than the Shannan Army, has never seen any movement. I will not be naΓ―ve to think that Li Moran has a conscience and will not rebel. He must have been looking for other routes, intending to make a roundabout. Bypassing the Wujiang defense line and turning to attack our rear. ”

He Bijun is a tiger girl who also has a certain military talent, after listening to Li Guanqi's words, she knew that the situation was worse than she imagined, after thinking about it, she flashed her eyes and asked, "Are you going to wait for him here?" ”

"The question is from which direction he will come!" Li Guanqi frowned and said, "The most convenient route is to take Lingnan, but now Lingnan Road is still wavering. If Li Moran rashly tried to enter Lingnan, once the Lingnan Dao capital was stimulated, then they would have a hard time and suffer heavy losses, and with Li Moran's shrewdness, he should not do this. I think he will lead his army over the Great Snow Mountain, and then break through the Jinsha Pass, so our army will definitely go south to intercept him. ”

"Of course it's good to take the initiative!" He Bijun said with a serious expression. "But where are you going, and for what purpose? What are your plans? ”

Li Guanqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Xie Chen thinks that we should go south with a large army and surprise Li Moran. However, Cao Shixun felt that it was wise to deal with Chen Guangxi with all his might. He reached out and brushed the unkempt hair that had been made during the rain just now, and he looked a little sullen, "...... I'm not sure ......"

"You've got to be sure!" He Bijun said with a pretty face, "Don't be mistaken, they are your courtiers, not your friends." You are the Emperor. You have to call the shots. ”

Li Guanqi looked at He Bijun, looking a little surprised, he didn't expect He Bijun to have this decision, nodded and said, "You're right!" ”

"Tell me, what are your plans?" He Bijun asked again.

Li Guanqi pulled out his arm from under He Bijun. Standing up, he walked to the conference table, took out a map full of red lines, spread it out on the table, one of the corners was warped because of the long-term rolling, he picked up the dagger on the table and fixed it, and said in a deep voice: "The two plans have their own advantages, but ...... You see, if we stay here and deal with Chen Guangxi with all our might, once Li Moran breaks through the Jinsha Pass, we will be attacked by them from both sides......"

"So what?" He Bijun looked at Li Guanqi with interest and said.

Li Guanqi groaned and said: "I plan to leave part of my troops to defend the Wujiang defense line, with infantry and archers as the core, and then the whole army will go south. I divided my troops into two routes, and the infantry advanced along the left bank of the Jinsha River, detouring to Li Moran's flank; The cavalry guards and the rest of the guards marched along the right bank of the Jinsha River. Once Li Moran learns the news of our army's southward movement, he will lead his army eastward to engage the main force of our army, and then our cavalry will be able to detour behind Chen Guangxi without any worries. ”

After speaking, Li Guanqi sat down, not daring to smile, but he could see that he was quite satisfied with his performance and eager to hear her praise.

He Bijun walked behind Li Guanqi and looked down at the map, frowned and said, "In this way, isn't your army separated by the Jinsha River?" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Guanqi's mouth and said, "Not bad! But it also separates Chen Guangxi from Li Moran. ”

Although Li Guanqi's plan was relatively bold, He Bijun still had to agree that this was an excellent plan, and she hesitated and asked, "Which team do you want to command?" ”

"Cavalry, of course." Li Guanqi replied immediately.

"Although the cavalry is relatively strong, the number is too small, can there be 10,000 people combined?" He Bijun frowned again.

"Eight thousand!" Li Guanqi clenched his fists and said, "It's more challenging this way, and I don't feel comfortable handing over the cavalry to others." ”

"Who will command the elite infantry of the Beijing Division, which is nearly 100,000 people?" He Bijun asked again.

"I haven't figured it out yet!" Li Guanqi bit his lip and said, "Among the generals of the Twelve Guards of the Beijing Division, the oldest one is Liu Xia of Zuo Wuwei, and he is your father's old subordinate, so there should be no problem with loyalty." ”

He Bijun pouted and said: "Liu Xia, I know, when my father was alive, he often praised him for fighting and not being afraid of death!" ”

"Yes! He was a man of courage and fearlessness. Li Guanqi said with a smile, but he suppressed his smile again and said thoughtfully, "This unit is the absolute main force of our army, I shouldn't let people who are not afraid of death command, that will only make me lose this main force!" ”

He Bijun tasted Li Guanqi's words, nodded and said, "En! You're right! I think you should find a calm man to command this army of 100,000! ”

"Level-headed?" Li Guanqi fell into deep thought, "Tang Zifeng is in line, but he is too young to convince the public. Let's let Zhu Yi of Yu Linwei be the commander of the Western Route Army! This guy's forbearance kung fu is first-class, anyway, I don't want to go against this kind of person, it's too much of a headache! ”

"I hope Li Moran will have a headache when he sees him!" He Bijun grinned. (To be continued......)
