Bi Qianniu led He and Yang in. The two of them are obviously sleep deprived, Yang Wanhu is okay, where is his body and bottom; Ha Guangxiu couldn't do it, the fierce battle in the afternoon drained all his energy, and he staggered when he walked.

The two knelt down and saluted: "I've seen the general." ”

Deng She supported him with his own hand and said with a smile: "Today's bloody battle relies on the strength of the two of you. Lao He, you have been studying war well recently, and you have grown very fast, two or three thousand people have blocked the attacks of five or six thousand Tartars in turn, which is very good! Especially in the final counterattack of our army, the movement of the formation was very good, to be honest, I was afraid that you would make a mess at that time! ”

After receiving Deng She's praise, He Guangxiu's sleepiness was swept away, and he was as happy as something, while getting up and humbling himself, he humbly pulled over the chair, swept it on the clean chair surface with his sleeves, and said continuously: "General, please sit, general, please sit." ”

Yang Wanhu originally looked down on him, but this time the two have been partners for a long time, and their disgust has been slightly reduced. Changing back to Heguangxiu's eyes, he saw that there was tea on the desk, he hurriedly went to pour the cold tea again, replaced the hot one, and brought it over considerately, "The general drinks tea, the general drinks tea." ”

Deng She sat down with a smile, looked at Yang Wanhu, and nodded, although he didn't praise him again, but the undisguised appreciation and appreciation in his eyes still made Yang Wanhu's heart warm. Even though Ha Guangxiu has military merits, in the eyes of the generals, he is also a first-class courtier. For He Guangxiu, Deng She can be close and almost laughing, but not for Yang Wanhu, he is clearly treated with respect and respect.

Yang Wanhu bowed down and saluted again, which was regarded as a thank you for Deng She's respect, and after the eye contact between the ministers was completed, Deng She solemnized his hand and said, "Sit." ”

Bi Qianniu refused to sit down, and stood behind Deng She with a knife; Yang Wanhu and He Guangxiu sat down, and their sitting postures were different. Yang Wanhu's true character as a man, usually his legs are very spread, at this time in front of Deng She, in order not to be rude, his legs are together and he sits very respectfully; On the contrary, He Guangxiu sat on his legs with his legs crossed, and his legs were eight feet apart, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he had goods in it.

Deng She saw it in his eyes, smiled in his heart, and grasped the mentality of these two people more from the details, with a correct expression, pointed to the person from Gaizhou who was standing on the side, and said, "This brother, you must all know each other." ”

The right-hand men around Deng She, the generals are basically familiar; Yang Wanhu glanced at it, although he disdained to talk to a small soldier, he said to Deng She: "Didn't the general send him to Gaizhou?" ”

"Summoning two of you is for the Gaizhou incident." Deng She smiled at the person from Nagaizhou and said, "Let me tell you, if there is any omission, you can add it, okay?" He reached out and poured out his tea, handing it to him, "You quench your thirst first." ”

The soldier was sincerely frightened and grateful, took the tea bowl, and drank it without mentioning it. Deng She went through the changes in Gaizhou one by one, adding his own analysis, which was more detailed and clear than what the pro-soldier said.

Halfway through hearing this, Yang Wanhu and He Guangxiu's expressions became serious, and Mao Jujing was trapped in Gaizhou; Liaoxi and Guangning are deeply stuck in the mud and can't make a move; Anyone can see that as long as Shenyang is out of the army, Liaoyang will be in danger.

After finishing speaking, where the pro-soldiers who drank tea did not replenish, Deng She said hard, waved him down to rest; turned to ask Bi Qianniu and the three of them, "What do you two think?" ”

Yang Wanhu didn't think about it, and said: "Liaoyang must be in danger." General, our soldiers are only a few thousand, and they have only experienced a great battle, and there are many wounded, and their combat strength is worrying. The code is reluctant, and the attack is not good. The villain's opinion,......" He looked out of the tent, through the gap in the tent, the moonlight was like water, and he could faintly see the soldiers standing guard a hundred paces away, and he continued, "General, our army should withdraw quickly." ”

The "our army" in his mouth was not explicitly stated, and several people present knew that he must be referring to thousands of Shuangcheng military horses. Dunshe asked, "Where to retreat?" ”

"On the side of the Yalu River, there are 10,000 troops and horses of General Chen Hu Chen, as long as our army can retreat smoothly, rendezvous with it, and turn back to Shuangcheng, it will be safe. As for Liaodong and Liaoyang, from the villain's point of view, the best strategy is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

Deng She bowed his head, Yang Wanhu's opinion was the same as what he began to think, and he asked He Guangxiu again: "What do you think?" ”

He Guangxio agreed with Yang Wanhu's opinion, and he hesitated: "It's just that if our army withdraws, there are two problems. First, what about Pan Mei? Second, what about Xu Ren, Li Jing, and Fang Buzhen? Will the three of them tell us to leave? The villain is afraid, don't fail, first fight among yourself, but the gains outweigh the losses. ”

His worries were justified, and Guan Duo sent these three people with the intention of reinforcements, and even more with the intention of restraining them. Deng She frowned and asked Bi Qianniu, "What do you think?" ”

The Art of War: Seeking to win is better than not winning, and being cautious about losing is not lost. Bi Qianniu has followed Deng She for a long time, he has not learned anything else, he is cautious and careful, and he has learned a lot, he said: "General Yang is right, retreating to Shuangcheng seems to be the best choice." However, what General He was worried about, the general also had to think deeply.

"Fang Buzhen is fine, he is only in charge of our army's heavy grain and grass, and there are only 100 soldiers and horses under his command, if I go to meet General Chen, a hundred miles away, it can be reached in two days, and there is no need to consider the grain and grass; Only Xu Ren and Li Jing are Guan Duo's henchmen, and our army retreats without a fight, it is really difficult to predict how the two of them will react. ”

Speaking of which, he is the same as He Guangxiu, afraid that Xu Ren and Li Jing will not follow. In the afternoon, there were thousands of remnants left, and if they didn't handle it well, they would not wait for Naha to go out of the army, and their own people would fight and lose first.

Deng She groaned, the so-called "wisdom is not prepared for one person, and the plan must be joined by the people", this sentence is very reasonable. He Guangxiu and Bi Qianniu both took Xu Ren and Li Jing into account, which shows that these two people are indeed a problem and must be properly solved.

He didn't know when, he developed a habit that he had to unfold the map when he was in the military staff, and when he opened the map of the army, he stared at it for a long time.

Xu Ren and Li Jing are not easy to do, so they will put it aside first, change their thinking, and only say that they will withdraw to Shuangcheng. Once evacuated, there are two consequences and two possibilities. First, Naha sent out the army, Liaoyang was defeated, and the Liaodong Red Turban was broken by the Yuan army one by one, and from then on, Shuangcheng had to face Naha independently. Second, Liaoyang won, and Deng She retreated without a fight, Guan Duo would 100% settle accounts after the autumn, and it was inevitable that there would be an infighting.

But the latter is stronger than the former, because Guan Duo will not win easily; Naha was defeated, and there were still Yuan soldiers and horses in Liaodong, such as Gaizhou, Liaoxi, and Wei Sijian, and when Guan Duo pulled out his hand to settle accounts after the autumn, I don't know when it would be.

Deng She thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "Regardless of the victory or defeat of Liaoyang, as soon as our army withdrew, it gave up the initiative and became passive. ”

"What does the general mean?"

Deng She intuitively judged: "This is the next policy." ”

So what's the best policy? Don't you withdraw to the Twin Cities? If you don't withdraw and go to the aid of Liaoyang, what will happen? Yang Wanhu was straightforward: "General, that's self-surrendering." Although, as the general said, Liaoyang's victory and defeat seem to be between the two sides, but judging from the current situation, there are more defeats. Thousands of our troops, went to add a few more dumplings filled with human flesh to Naha? Even if Liaoyang wins, it's about my twin cities? Can Lao Guan give us a soldier, a city, and a place? ”

If withdrawing to Shuangcheng is the next policy, then going to aid Liaoyang is a bad policy.

Deng She smiled, he naturally wouldn't faint like this, Yang Wanhu's words inspired him to suddenly think of a third possibility. "One soldier, one city, one place?" He muttered to himself, his fingers slicing across the map, "Dongmu Mountain, Taizi River, Yalu River; Shenyang, Liaoyang、...... Gaizhou! ”

He got up and summoned the messenger of Gaizhou for the second time, and the person who came rested not far from the tent and brought it soon. Deng She asked anxiously: "You just said that there are thousands of Japanese people outside Gaizhou City?" ”

"Yes, the Japanese are stationed at the foot of a hill ten miles outside the city of Gaizhou."

"Where did this widow come from? But Jin and Fuzhou? ”

"Exactly."

"What is the situation in Jin and Fuzhou?"

"This,...... The villain doesn't know very well, but he once heard Liu Daqing say that there are not many widows in Jinfuzhou, thousands of people come out, and there are at most three or two thousand people left in the city? Mao Jujing held a military meeting, and some people suggested that it was better to put down Gaizhou first, and take advantage of the situation to attack Jin and Fuzhou, but it was vetoed. ”

Ha Mitsu was surprised and asked, "Why?" ”

The reason is obvious, "Gaizhou changes, Liaoyang must be in danger; Mao Jujing's first priority was to return to Liaoyang, and by no means to continue westward to fight Laoshizi's Jin and Fuzhou. ”

"Lao Mao has this concern, but our army doesn't!" Bi Qianniu thought of this section and couldn't help but say excitedly.

Deng She had this in mind. But he suppressed his emotions and asked, "Except for the Japanese people, the Gaojia slaves in Gaizhou have no other reinforcements?" ”

"Nope."

"How did Mao Jujing's camp get rooted? Where are Hu Zhong and Liu Daqing stationed? In the army of Dagaizhou, there are Pan Cheng and Sha Liu, where are they stationed? ”

"Mao Jujing besieged the city and built a camp, stretching for ten miles. There are more than 20,000 descendants and are stationed in the middle; Hu Zhong, Liu Daqing and nearly 20,000 miscellaneous people who intended to defect to our army were stationed on the right flank and acted as the vanguard; Nearly 20,000 people from Pan Cheng and Sha Liu were stationed on the left flank and were responsible for guarding the Japanese people outside the city. Mao Jujing was originally left in the rear wing, and there were still more than 10,000 descendants, but now he has rebelled. ”

"Hu Zhong and Liu Daqing, how is the person sent by our army?"

"About 3,000 people, all elite. Although they attacked the city repeatedly, they were driven by Hu Zhong and Liu Daqing as the forwards, but until the villain came, there were not many casualties. ”

Deng She pursed his lips, thought about it again, laughed, and said: "The military situation is urgent, I know that you have worked hard, so I will not have to work hard for you again." Tonight, you will return to Gaizhou, inform Hu Zhong and Liu Daqing, preserve your strength, and watch from the wall. ”

The soldier was at a loss; In order for Hu Zhong and Liu Daqing to obey the order with peace of mind, Deng She explained: "You tell them that within ten days, there will be great changes." ”

The soldier took the order and departed. Bi Qianniu, Yang Wanhu, He Guangxiu and others guessed Deng She's thoughts, surprised and delighted, He Guangxiu said: "General? ”

"As long as Liaoyang and Shenyang go to war, no matter which side wins, it will not be easy, at best, it will be a bloody battle between our army and the Tartars today, and it will be a tragic victory. This is a godsend, giving me the opportunity to intervene in Gaizhou. ”

Bi Qianniu asked, "Guan Pingzhang Ruosheng?" ”

Deng She replied awe-inspiringly: "I can give way to Gaizhou." "Really? Hypothetical? He thought in his heart: "Liaoxi, Wei Sijian can be my spear; In addition to the tragic victory, Guan Duo begged me too late. ”

"How can Naha win?"

Deng She replied indignantly: "I swear not to share the sky with this fang." "If you fight for 10,000 in a calculated war, how can 200,000 Liaodong red scarves be easily wiped out? He thought in his heart: "Sha Liu Er and Pan Cheng can be my shield; When a strong enemy presses the border, our three parties naturally share the same hatred. ”

"Then Xu Ren, Li Jing, and Fang Buzhen?"

"Tell me clearly, Liaoyang will be in danger, I am determined to send out the Pyongyang army, surprise attack Gaizhou, save Mao Jujing, this is to encircle Wei and save Zhao." He thought to himself, "Actually, it's a matter of fire." ”

"What about Pan Mei?"

Deng She would not do anything that offended Pan Cheng, but he knew that he didn't need to say it, as long as the plan to save Zhao from Wei came out, someone would take the initiative to say it.
