In the eighth section, Wu Ming came to his senses and said a little embarrassed: "Such a divine thing, let me spoil it, it can really be regarded as a cow chewing peonies." Sun Yunlong suddenly sighed and said, "Don't hide it from Lord Wu, the 'Wanxiang Building' in Hanning was opened by the ancestor in the past. It's just that now, this 'Hanning Spring' is about to become a sound, and I am really ashamed. ”

Wu Ming thought in his heart: No wonder this Sun Yunlong is so familiar with the tea ceremony, but there is still such a reason in it. I don't know if there is a reason why he defected to Zhu Huai this time. At this moment, Dai Yu smiled slightly and said, "Governor Sun, you left me and Lord Wu to spend the night on a rainy day, not just to drink tea and talk." Now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, please feel free to say anything you want. As he spoke, he looked at Wu Ming and smiled, "Yes, Lord Wu." ”

Wu Ming didn't say anything, Sun Yunlong said with a smile: "Lord Dai is really as fast and fast as the legend, even so, the old man said it directly." He stood up, took off the leather coat he was draping on, then stood in front of the window, looked at the dark night sky outside and said, "The two adults think that how long will it take for Li Tie's soldiers to reach Hanshui at the latest?" ”

The torrential rain outside, the Ten Thousand Saints Pagoda is also faintly in the night rain, not very real. The thunder was faint, and it seemed that a large army was coming at full speed from the end of the sky.

Dai Yu stuffed a piece of dim sum into his mouth and said vaguely: "With such a heavy rain, plus the collection of grain and grass, the iron horsemen in the north will definitely have to wait for a while if they want to go south." ”

Wu Ming originally planned to be silent all the time, but he heard Dai Yu say this. couldn't help but say: "Although Lord Dai's words are reasonable, I don't dare to agree. ”

Dai Yu didn't know why, it seemed that he had always deliberately avoided Wu Ming, and when he heard Wu Ming say this, he took another sip of tea but didn't say anything. However, Sun Yunlong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Wu Ming and said, "Lord Wu, how can you see it?" ”

"First of all, the climate in the north and south is very different. Spring is early in the south of the Yangtze River, and the climate is warming up quickly. Near Hanshui City, it is already green. Even the first spring thunder has fallen. But this is not the case in the north, and the boy vividly remembers that when he escaped from Kyoto, the snow had just melted in the harsh winter. And the climate is dry, and there will definitely be no heavy rain. Secondly, Li Tie must have been preparing for this war for a long time. If this is the case, there must be enough grain and grass hoarded in Longwang to be used at any time. Therefore, it is not valid to think that Li Tie will take a little time to gather grain and grass. ”

Dai Yu didn't eat snacks anymore, put down the teacup in some surprise, and listened quietly to Wu Ming's analysis. Sun Yunlong walked over in a few steps, grabbed Wu Ming's hand and said, "Lord Wu is really both civil and military, but the old man is suspicious." After speaking, he looked at Dai Yu and said, "General Dai really has a unique vision, and the old man believes it." ”

After doing it for a long time, these two people sang double reeds to test themselves? Wu Ming's heart was displeased. Dai Yu nodded, stood up and clapped his hands, and said, "Sun Dudu, now you can tell you about your plan, and everyone will refer to it." ”

Sun Yunlong said with a smile: "Lord Wu is right, the old man also thinks that if Li Tie wants to give full play to the advantage of his iron riding speed, he will definitely go south in the past few days and attack us by surprise." As he spoke, he grabbed the remaining chopsticks, broke one of them, and placed a trapezoidal shape on the table with a base wide and a pointed tip. Then he pointed to the figure and said, "The two adults have taken a closer look, the structure of the city wall of Hanshui is like this irregular trapezoid. Contrary to Nanning, the south gate of Hanshui is a water gate, Li Tie's army came from the north, and the south gate has the elite of Dai Daren's water army. ”

Wu Ming nodded secretly, Li Tie's army was almost all foot cavalry, and the navy army was very weak. In addition to the mysterious naval army in Jingmendu, there is also a naval division in Lelang in the northeast. The team in front of it was almost the private army of the mysterious city lord, and Li Tie definitely couldn't be mobilized. And the sailors of Le Lang also have to deal with the endless harassment of Daoyi, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, and they will definitely not be able to send them south. The southerners are good at boats, and Dai Yu's sailors crisscross the entire river, almost invincible. If Li Tie wanted to go south, he had to find a way to take an important stronghold to train sailors, and the entire northern part of Hanshui was a flat river, and it was only separated from Nanning by a river. Naturally, it became Li Tie's first choice for attacking.

Hanshui is also a city gate with four gates, the difference is that the south gate is the water gate. It is only separated from Nanning in the south by a river. Now that Sun Yunlong has taken refuge in Zhu Huai, Li Tie attacked Han Shui. must face Dai Yu's water army. Sun Yunlong said that the entire South Gate was safe, but he did not exaggerate.

Seeing that there was no doubt between the two of them, Sun Yunlong straightened the left and right sides of the trapezoid with both hands, and continued: "When Hanshui City was built, it was considered how to use the water army to assist in defense, and the east and west gates were about one mile away from the river embankment. In this way, once the other party attacks the east and west gates of Hanshui, Dai's water army can also assist in defense, so the problem should not be very big. ”

Dai Yu's naval warships, Wu Ming has also seen them. In this world, it can be said to be an invincible fortress on the river. At a distance of less than five hundred meters, the navy can indeed play a deterrent role. However, if you want to use it to assist in defense, is the distance of the bow and arrow on the warship a little shorter? However, Wu Ming saw that Dai Yu had no objection, so he didn't ask.

Sun Yunlong raised his head, stared at Wu Ming, and said with a burning gaze: "Lord Wu, the North City Gate is the most difficult place, and it must also be Li Tie's main direction of attack. I'd like to ask you to borrow your Guards Battalion to help defend it. As he spoke, his right hand pointing to the top of the trapezoid.

After experiencing so many things, Wu Mingzao is not the kind of Leng Touqing who can put life and death aside as soon as his mind is hot, he thought for a while and said, "Master Sun, this trip to Kyoto." Not only did the Suzaku team not be able to go south with me, but even the dozen or so brothers who went north with me could not return to the team for the time being. Now the entire Guards battalion is less than a hundred. Even if I can help you, I'm afraid it's limited. ”

Sun Yunlong smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wu, please rest assured, the north gate city wall is relatively short, and it must also be the focus of Li Tie's attack." With the help of the strength of the guard battalion, the old man only prevented the opponent's elite warriors from making a surprise attack. As for the defense of the city, I will send my best troops to defend the northern wall. ”

As soon as he said this, Wu Ming was a little embarrassed, and said with a red face: "Sun Dudu, it's not that the kid is afraid of war, Li Tie has been planning for a long time, and he is pouring troops to attack." In the next thought, although Hanshui now has the help of General Dai's sailors, it is not afraid to become an isolated city. However, the army of the eight provinces against Li Tie was still undefeated. ”

Sun Yunlong's eyes flashed, he picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and was about to speak. Dai Yu hurriedly asked, "Master Wu thinks, how should we deal with it?" ”

"Move south, take the danger of the river, and the advantage of the boat to fight against the northern iron cavalry. Then the waiter contacted the governor of the Northwest Road to drive a wedge between Beimeng and Li Tie. Strike from afar, look for opportunities. ”

Outside the window, a thunderbolt struck the head. Sun Yunlong's hand shook, and all the tea in the cup shook out. He put down the teacup a little out of shape and said, "Lord Wu, you can think like this, that's the best." It's just that even if we move south, the refugees who have been coming from the north one after another in the past few days have not had time to evacuate, which is also a trouble. So, we're going to hold on for a few days anyway. ”

At this time, Wu Ming realized that as soon as his words came out, even the face of Dai Yu next to him changed a little. Apparently that is to the point. He was greatly puzzled and continued: "Lord Sun, the population of the five provinces south of the Yangtze River is more than 100 million, although it is slightly inferior to Li Tie's manpower of the eight provinces, but it is not far behind. You have allowed so many people to cross the river and go south, leaving them to be displaced and uprooted from their homes. It's a bit of a fuss......"

Although Wu Ming did not say it explicitly, the blame in his words was very obvious. Sun Yunlong did this, not to mention the loss of money and money, and made so many people refugees. It's better to let these people stay in their hometown safely, although Li Tie is a little sinister and vicious. However, the so-called joint attack in the south with North Mongolia must be an exaggeration on the part of Hanshui. Li Tie is not a fool, this kind of thing to lure a wolf into the house will never be done.

Sun Yunlong sighed and thought for a while before saying, "Lord Wu, you only know one thing and you don't know the other. The people who moved south to Qingyang were not hot-headed, but deliberate. As Lord Wu said, once our army retreats south, it will inevitably confront Li Tie across the river. And along the entire river, if all the sailors are allowed to patrol and be vigilant. In this way, even if Lord Dai has the ability to reach the sky, it is difficult to be competent. Therefore, it is necessary to have a people's cooperative defense and vigilance on both sides of the river......"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Wu Ming's mind: Yes, this hand was used, which not only made Li Tie's army unable to temporarily collect grain on the spot, but also had the effect of clearing the wilderness. On the other hand, it has solved the problem of personnel guarding along the river, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. It's just that in this way, it has suffered the people of the entire Qingyang Province.

He felt a pang of irritability, perhaps, in the eyes of all those who were competing for supremacy. The people of the world are just cannon fodder to be used. However, what Sun Yunlong said was indeed very reasonable, he pondered for a while, and was about to nod his head in agreement. Suddenly, there was a big commotion outside. The faces of the three of them changed at the same time, could it be that Li Tie had already attacked?

Sun Yunlong couldn't care about discussing the military situation anymore, nodded slightly with the two, and led the two of them to hurry outside.

When he walked to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, he saw Tian Hongzheng carrying a Pu knife and two other soldiers of the Guards Battalion surrounding Xiaobi back to back in the middle. And a patrol of soldiers was arguing loudly about something.

Xiaobi's hair was scattered, and her whole body was soaked. Shivering in the wind and rain. She even had a baby in her arms. Xu is extremely well protected. The child didn't even cry, his mouth was pursed, and he slept sweetly. Wu Ming was taken aback, trotted forward and asked, "Xiaobi, why did you come here?" What's going on with this kid? "It has been less than four months since he left Nanning, and this child can't be Xiaobi's.

As soon as Xiaobi saw Wu Ming, she immediately rushed over and shouted, "Uncle, save us, save the little princess." ”

These words were like a thunderbolt, and Wu Ming was almost stunned. Combined with the previous ones, he vaguely guessed something. Dai Yu and Sun Yunlong obviously didn't know what was going on, and looked at a few people with some blankness. At this moment, Steward Hu's angry voice suddenly sounded in the distance: "General Dai, hurry up and catch that woman, this woman intends to assassinate Niangniang." ”
