Chapter 147: Waiting for a long time
"Well said" Lu Yi said, he admired Cui Ling's analytical ability, and said: "I really deserve to be a member of the Sword King Sect, not only can I find moves, but I can also find qi, and what is even more rare is that I can find the way to the world." So tell me about my style of play, and how did the two brothers restrain each other? Ask Cui Daxia for a lesson or two. ā
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's forbidden to ridicule. Speaking of your art of war, you are good at connecting the dots into a line," Cui Ling said: "For example, on the southern battlefield, you did this back then, it seems that there is no large-scale victory offensive, but in fact, the general trend has been decided, and all sides have become horns of each other, and the main forces of the enemy army have been eliminated." Whatever you do, you can actually win, and make the enemy think that the territory is still giving up its vigilance. It seems to be a cross-fertilization, but in fact, it also leaves a lot of places for itself to use its tactics and many ways to retreat. Plan and move, slow but not slack, this is your characteristic. After the crucial battle, you can easily recover the rivers and mountains without much effort, because that large area of land has been hollowed out into a sieve by you. ā
Cui Ling continued: "But you need to rely on intelligence and advance strategy, if Lu Xun comes to attack you, you have no chance to react at all, he is faster than intelligence, and he is good at attacking, how can you prevent it?" He is unable to prevent it, he not only arranges troops according to the art of war, but also does not march and fight according to the art of war, which may be a major criticism of him, but it is also his magic weapon for victory, which makes it difficult to figure out his thoughts. So unless you let him attack after everything is arranged, maybe he will be overstretched and difficult to perform, otherwise I dare not say that I will defeat you, but it will also make you mess up. Therefore, the prepared Lu Yi did not splash water, but Lu Xun's chaos seemed random. In fact, the fundamental advance has been discovered, but Lu Xun, who is unprepared, can rush left and right to kill a piece of the world, making you Lu Yi at a loss. If it weren't for the founding of the country, how could there be such a good defensive arrangement? Therefore, it is still Lu Xun who is powerful in fighting the world, defending the world and encroaching on the enemy army is Lu Yi's housekeeping ability, this is where the two of you contain each other, so you have the effect of restraint again. ā
Lu Yi didn't speak, thought for a long time, then laughed, and said, "It's really good, the battlefield is changing rapidly." It's not as absolute as the theory, but you've got the idea. The most important thing is that Lu Xun is not as kind-hearted as his father, and he is no less vicious than me. will definitely become a generation of heroes. It's just that I don't understand what happened to the army you left behind on the Yunnan border when he left. Now that Wu Sizang has no skills against Wei Yinbao's Guangxi soldiers and horses, he is unable to attack Yunnan at all, so why not line up this large number of troops on the border with Bashu. What about strengthening this side? Wait until the end of the Us-Tibet War to quickly arrange. That's just in time. ā
"I didn't see it through at first, and it wasn't until he received the order to leave that he gave me an explanation. How? Lu Yi, do you really not see through it, or are you pretending to be confused with me here? Cui Ling asked.
Lu Yi said: "I really didn't understand my brother's move. ā
Lu Xun ordered that no one was allowed to cross the border for a single step, not even the soldiers and horses of Guangxi, and if anyone broke through the border would be killed, the army would keep it strictly secret. There must be no mistakes. Cui Ling said meaningfully: "Now you understand, right? ā
Lu Yi was stunned, and after a while, he said in disbelief: "Lu Xun means to say." Even if some soldiers and horses in Guangxi flee back after the defeat, they must also kill people to prevent these people from returning to Guangxi to spread rumors and cause trouble, and affect the implementation of the next strategy? ā
"That's it, kill them all, and leave no trouble." Cui Ling made a downward cut and said.
Lu Yi sighed and said, "He is really like my aunt, ruthless enough." ā
"So don't turn your brother against him, it will be difficult for me to do it when the time comes, not to mention that according to this, in a few years, you may not be his opponent. Non-toxic and non-husband, it's about you and Lu Xun, it's about being a husband, it's about the saint, hehe. Cui Ling said.
Lu Yi nodded, meaningful.

When Qi Shuhai arrived at Yingtianfu, Meng Lin had already prepared soldiers, horses, money, food, arms and other applications, with 60,000 presidential soldiers, more than 40 artillery pieces, and countless weapons of all kinds. Meng Lin received the military report earlier in Nanjing, and he told Qi Shuhai and Xu Yang that Minister Ling was defeated and 100,000 soldiers and horses were destroyed.
Qi Shuhai was shocked when he heard the news, Meng Lin said that this matter must be kept secret, and he can only make plans after Lu Bing summons him to the world, otherwise once this news comes out, the people of the world will definitely panic and there will be a big mess. At the same time, the two also have the same opinion, Qi Jingtong is ruthless, and he must not be let into the territory of the new country, otherwise the people will inevitably suffer a catastrophe, although it will not slaughter the people, but Qi Jingtong may use the people, take advantage of Lu Bing's benevolent government, and put the new country in a dilemma.
The fire in Changling has been burning for two days and two nights, and according to the fire, the fire should have been extinguished at this time, and it is necessary to hurry as far as possible to choke Jingmen, the main road out of Sichuan, before Qi Jingtong, so as to ensure the safety of the new country. Moreover, with the support of the country to fight, military supplies, personnel and horses can be continuously supplied, as long as it can be won, it is worth paying any price.
Qi Shuhai has calculated, if the Changling fire can burn for two days, starting from Changling, it will take three days for Qi Jingtong's department to enter Jingmen even if he hurriedly. If the march is too fast, the battle line will be too long, and the troops will be scattered, then you can fight with it when you arrive, and Qi Jingtong will be caught off guard, so Qi Jingtong will not be stupid to do this. And in this way, the equipment and baggage cannot keep up with the speed of the march, and the strength is bound to be damaged, so three days is the time when Qi Jingtong may arrive at Jingmen.
Similarly, Qi Shuhai must rush to Jingmen within three days and enter Jingmen to block the enemy, and he can't be too fast, otherwise the soldiers will arrive at the ordnance and the food and grass will not arrive, and it will only increase the casualties if they go, and then the soldiers will all die, and there will be only ordnance and a bird. Qi Shuhai immediately set out with a large army in the direction of Jingmen, even though the elite soldiers brought out from Shandong had been a little tired from the journey for several days, but the rescue soldiers could not care so much if they were fighting fires. If Qi Jingtong is allowed to enter the territory of the new country and hold the people hostage, the war will rage in the new land at that time. The efforts of the previous construction will be in vain, and the enemy army will be replenished from the rich land, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable.
In addition to sending fast horses to order the defenders of Jingzhou and other places to help Jingmen. At least to resist for a moment and a half, now there is no other way to hurry. However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Qi Shuhai encountered heavy rain repeatedly along the way, and the roads were muddy and difficult to walk, not to mention the carriages and horses transporting ordnance and firearms, and he rarely rested day and night. He walked for five days. When he arrived at Jingmen, although Qi Shuhai did not hear the report of defeat, he was actually mentally prepared for the head of Jingzhou City to change to the banner of Remnant Ming.
But when I arrived outside Jingmen City, I found that there was still a peaceful atmosphere. Apart from the heavy security, no traces of the battle were found. However, Qi Shuhai had learned from Xu Yang's past, so he naturally didn't dare to be careless, and immediately sent someone into Jingmen to check. And when the searchers came out. In the team, there was a man with long hair fluttering, a handsome appearance, and a man dressed in black. This man looks very feminine. At first glance, he felt that his masculinity was insufficient, but there was a hint of coldness beyond femininity in his femininity, like a coiled poisonous snake, which could kill the enemy at any time. But instead of being afraid, Qi Shuhai smiled.
When Qi Shuhai saw this, his heart was put in his stomach, and he hurriedly whipped the horse to meet him. Someone who didn't know this person was still a little worried, but someone next to him immediately whispered. This is the yin and yang of one yin and one yang before the saint's driving, Duan Qingfeng.
Qi Shuhai greeted him, met Duan Qingfeng, the two clasped their fists and saluted each other, Qi Shuhai said, "Why did Duan Ye come here?" Can Qi Jingtong's army attack the city, but did Duan Ye repel them? ā
"No, they're still busy putting out the fire, and you'll be able to put it out when you get there, so you can recuperate, and I guess it's going to take seven or eight days for them to get here." Duan Qingfeng Road.
Why is that? Qi Jingtong doesn't know the speed of soldiers? Why is he so slow to advance, and since we have a lot of time, why don't we hold on to the fourth level, the third level? Although the saint did not say why, he mentioned that Yichang was an important town and needed to be guarded, and now he has retreated and come to Jingmen to garrison. If you break the Jingmen, behind it is the territory of my new country, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Qi Shuhai said.
Duan Qingfeng smiled and said, "This time I came to assist you on the order of Wenfu, and you are still the commander of your three armies." There are a lot of people here, and the voices are very noisy, let's go into the city for a while, I see that the soldiers are tired, or enter the city to rest early, let's sit down and talk. Shuhai, how do you say I built yƬ? ā
"Very good, very good, I was reckless." Qi Shuhai clenched his fists and said. Immediately let the army enter the city and set up camp to rest, in fact, if you rush to meet the battle, the enemy army will wait for work, Qi Shuhai really has no confidence, now I don't know what trick Duan Qingfeng used to block the enemy army, so that the Lu family army has a relatively stable chance.
After entering Jingzhou City, he came to the big tent of the Chinese army that had been built, Duan Qingfeng insisted on giving up Qi Shuhai to the main position, but Qi Shuhai couldn't resist Duan Qingfeng, so he had to sit down. Duan Qingfeng sat opposite Qi Shuhai, and the two talked. Qi Shuhai asked a little anxiously: "Master Duan, I can talk about it now, but I'm in a hurry." ā
"Of course you can, don't be impatient, let me first tell you why you chose to be stationed in Jingmen." Duan Qingfeng said, Qi Shuhai nodded, and Duan Qingfeng continued: "First of all, the Holy Lord's strategy in Yichang has been completed, so the persistence there is no longer effective, it is better to let the enemy army slow down and advance layer by layer, so that the strategy can be better implemented." ā
"Wait, what kind of plan is it, now it's just you and me, can't you say it?" Qi Shuhai asked.
Duan Qingfeng shook his head and said: "The main reason is that you didn't enter the battlefield in the early stage, so it's not that Wenfu can't trust you, but there is no need to know, I participated in the war before, so I just knew it before I left Beijing." The strategy is to lead the inland river army to extend the river and approach the hinterland of Bashu. The key is to pass through Yichang, so Yichang must be taken. Now that Yichang has passed, it is not good to hold on there, it is better to let the enemy army come over, but it is even more hidden, at this time Han Sufa has gone against the current and came behind the enemy. Moreover, Yichang's storage zĆ i can still delay the enemy army for one to two days, and Lu Xun has already begun to attack Bashu, but the main force is still Han Sufa's department, and Lu Xun is also a bait to divert the enemy's soldiers and horses, and he will cut off Qi Jingtong's back road. Although he may be attacked from both sides and form a crisis, Qi Jingtong is also attacked from both sides, and he will only be more in crisis, falling into the trap he dug and cutting off food and grass. Lead them to Daming, the farther away from Bashu, the easier it will be for Lu Xun's team to succeed, and at the same time, the longer Qi Jingtong will run back and forth, and it will be difficult to replenish if he is trapped in it, because he has been fighting for many days, so the consumption is even worse than Lu Xun. As long as Qi Jingtong's grain and grass are exhausted, we will win without a fight. ā
Qi Shuhai praised: "I see, the saint is really clever, he played such a game of chess, but there are still some things I don't understand." ā
"I know what you're talking about, don't be impatient, wait for Duan to give you one by one." Duan Qingfeng Road. (To be continued......)
