169. Quiet and silent

"Tianye, you're okay." Jiang Lingfeng looked at Jiang Tianye, his expression was very pale. Some worries

Jiang Tianye came back to his senses: "Where did you go?" ”

Jiang Lingfeng overlapped the words again, and he found that Jiang Tianye didn't seem to be in a very good state.

Jiang Tianye was thinking about it, the situation was indeed very critical. The army was in a very weak period, and Jiang Chi also saw this clearly, so he pressed forward step by step, forming a huge trap with them from the north, west, and east. Jiang Chi is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying opponent, this time the blow was carefully planned and planned, and it is very bad that he is now on his own.

"The environment is even more tense than we imagined," Jiang Lingfeng said heavily, "Our food reserves are very few and we are already haggard." Now, we have given most of our food to the vanguard queue, because they have to resist Jiang Chi's main offensive. As for the rest. We only keep the main queues. The queue could only be temporarily broken up and the warriors scattered to the villages and towns. It's easier to find food by breaking it down. The idea is stupid. That's the only way we can do it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have survived ten days ago. ”

Other generals were full of praise: "That's true." My queue is unstable.

"No way. How to fight a war hungry? If you don't have enough to eat, you can't even pick up a weapon now. ”

A veteran general said calmly: "My team may be connected, but there is no food supply for half a month, and the horse team has already begun to slaughter the war horses, and the officers can't stop them." ”

Jiang Lingfeng nodded: "500,000 people have already lost 30,000. Another 20,000 people were taken away by Jiang Tiande. Now we are short of food. Some of the fighters ransacked the cities along their way because of hunger, regardless of their orders. ”

Colleagues studied one after another, the generals were noisy and complaining to each other, and the tent became more and more noisy.

"All live.!" In Jiang Tianye's depressed voice, there was an admirable energy. He didn't have a lot of voice. But the commotion immediately stopped. The tent fell silent, and all eyes were on him. He looked up. Looking around at everyone with a serious gaze: "The current difficulties. I know it all. But you're making such a fuss. To no avail at all. ”

There is no way out by waiting for a pessimistic garrison, and we will only watch the army gradually eroded and get smaller and smaller.

Jiang Lingfeng thinks. Jiang Chi is a very important old friend. In addition to the 200,000 elite soldiers in his hands, there are still 100,000 weak troops, these are not regular troops, but temporarily recruited after the battle begins, Jiang Chi is considered to have great skills, and there is no way to train them into a strong queue in the short term, and most of these people are evacuated to the northeast, with the intention of hiding, he proposes to mobilize troops immediately. Strike at the weaker ranks. But this proposal was opposed by Jiang Tianye, and destroying those small queues did nothing to change the entire strategic situation. and they were defeated. Jiang Chi's people may be promoted. In that case, you will have to face the cause of continuous combat, which is very dangerous.

"Concentrate all the queues and strike at the center of the other side."

He is going to strike at the heart of the enemy's strong army. Jiang Lingfeng listened. Immediately became anxious: "How can this be!" ”

"Where the enemy is strong, it is also where it is weak, and we have concentrated the strength of 450,000 men to win one at a time, and to inflict a heavy blow on them in his main attacking army. The enemy's main forces will lose most of their combat strength and will not be able to advance any further, and the other echoing queues will not have the combined forces of the main forces, and they will not dare to propose a strike to us alone, so on. The siege was naturally defused. ”

“。 If you are careless, you will probably fall into their trap. Jiang Lingfeng hesitated.

"So we need people to distract them from thinking that our main force is somewhere else." Jiang Tianye said step by step. A hint of condensation flashed in his eyes, "Since we are short of food. Then he asked them to go! Automatic strike. Defeat their armies. usurp their cities. Take down their spins and supplies! ”

Jiang Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, casually sensing that something was wrong, according to Jiang Tianye's character, he would not make such a claim. This one is going to distract attention. Understand that it is to send to death.

Jiang Tianye seemed to see through his thoughts, and smiled slightly at him, ambiguous. That's right, his purpose is to get rid of people with dissenting intentions in the army, not only to sell him, but also to include those dark lines that Jiang Tiande has already laid in the army.

looked at Jiang Tianye's smiling face. For the first time, Jiang Lingfeng felt a sense of fear: Is this Jiang Tianye, who works in scheming and power tricks, really a colleague he knows? He has changed a lot. Inside, he's still acting so willright. But in his bones he is more resolute, and there is something different in his gloomy eyes than in the past. Sharp as a blade, in his understated words, murderous lurking.

And Jiang Chi is here. Facing the same problem. The 200,000 people he trained were very elite queues. Because Jiang Yan was anxious to expand the army. As a result, the large number of civilian troops gathered and a large number of ordinary people who did not pass through the currency and practiced entered. It was a great deal of inconvenience to his instructions. Jiang Yan's vigorous preparation of the right track soldiers and horses eventually fell into a rabble that could not move, and Jiang had already estimated that for him, these people would not be of any benefit, and even constantly dragging their feet in battle, which was not very disturbing. Three days ago, an overseer arrived. The identity of this overseer is different from that of ordinary people. He is Jiang Chi's imperial uncle, King Lu.

King Lu continued to say that he was sick in the era of King Qin's rebellion. Compare it with other princes who betrayed. He understands better how to protect himself. This is a political sensitivity of being a prince of the royal family. is also because his strength cannot be compared with other princes. Ability to survive under the nose of King Qin. Send him here at this time. It may not be that there is no benefit of supervising Jiang Chi. Jiang Chi knows this better than anyone else. Because from this move, he saw Jiang Yan's shadow.

Jiang Yan has never trusted anyone, not even his allies.

Jiang Chi glanced at the map and said to everyone: "Although Jiang Tianye is poor in food. But if we think about it from the perspective of always fighting, we also need to raise an army that is too large. The Great Calendar has just passed through a riot. An excessively heavy burden is a disaster for the whole country, especially for the common people. At present, Cangzhou is in a period of scarcity, so it is impossible to insist that there is a supplement from Kyoto to provide 300,000 troops. I think that the preservation of a relatively elite standing army of 15 to 200,000 will be enough to strike. ”

Qiao Siyuan listened, his eyes sparkling, he was a small guerrilla, and he did not intervene in the authority of such a superficial meeting. He was able to stand here not because he had been injured countless times in the battle, but because he was the cousin of the emperor's eldest grandson, Concubine Ai, and the younger brother of the county lord of Yong'an. so that when he came to be a soldier, he continued to hide his identity. After the increasing number of generals in Kyoto. There was no way for him to hide any longer. He always insisted on fighting on the front line. And because of this. He had a deep understanding of the ills that Jiang Chi had said, that the army's weapons were poor and its combat effectiveness was poor, and that it was very nervous to suffer damage after every battle. Therefore, more old people with no resume had to be drawn from the local area. Thus the essence of the army has fallen further, which has almost fallen into a vicious cycle.

It's just that he knows this deeply, but he can't say it, because he doesn't have a proper capacity to speak.

Jiang Chi's dark eyes under his eyebrows were like a secluded pool: "Very good way." Disarmament is half, and the army is reorganized to form a smaller but more elite army. ”

"How?! , King Lu suddenly frowned, "'These people have just been recruited. Now you want them to disband? It's strange if you don't mutiny! ”

Jiang Chi was not angry because of his sudden interruption, but replied gradually: "Uncle Lu, anyone we don't need, we can let them go back to the next town, now I heard that there are many soldiers in Jiang Tianye's army who have infiltrated the city to loot materials. We can have these people form their own militia formations, camp with the defenders of the city, and also do the good when needed. ”

Qiao Siyuan nodded again and again, and other generals also praised this proposition. Because they are all sensitive, at the time of battle. Those improvised conscripts of the army caused them a great deal of trouble.

"Impossible!" King Lu cut the iron and said, "So as to weaken his strength." Now it is an urgent key, the other party has 500,000 queues, and we only have 300,000 people. At this point, he stood up sharply. Late, just link the original plan to strike, don't fool! ”

"It's not fooling! Instead, concentrate on the next surprise attack! "A lot of redundancy will affect the strength of the entire queue! Jiang Chi insisted on authenticity. He always thought that Jiang Tianye would make a big move next. Once he goes south. Colluding with King Nanzhao, this matter will not be easy to end!

"If I say impossible, it's impossible, if you're against it. You can go and report to the prince, and he will make the decision!. King Lu slashed with a knife and axe, and said in a cold voice almost roughly.

Suddenly, in the military tent, all the people looked at King Lu, but their ears listened carefully to Jiang Chi's voice. Some people are panicked, some people quietly regret, and naturally some people are indifferent. But all this can only be kept in the heart. If it is shaped by words, it is out of order.

At this time, the situation between the DPRK and China was mysterious and cumbersome, the crown prince was about to ascend the throne in a few days, and although the emperor's eldest grandson was young, it seemed that it was not a day or two to cultivate his own power. The old ministers of the DPRK and China are uneven and cumbersome, and the forces of various factions are deeply rooted. Although the King of Qin is no longer alive, he has left a lot of troubles. King Yan didn't seem to want to get involved in this mess. Most of the time when there is nothing to do in the court, but what about Jiang Chi? What kind of footsteps is he playing?

Jiang Chi looked at the pairs of eyes in front of him with different looks, he was just tired. He already has a strong physiological capacity and self-adjustment ability. Hearing King Lu's almost rude words, he was not angry. He didn't have the slightest excitement, he just said lightly: "As Uncle Wang wishes." ”

Qiao Siyuan felt very disappointed, and he suddenly understood. In battle, it is not about calculation and strength to decide everything. There is also a popular mouth, this is not the first time that King Lu has blocked Jiang Chi's plan, and even that. This age and qualifications have crossed Jiang Chi, and a lot of the princes are deliberately dragging them back. It can also be that he is not intentional, but Qiao Siyuan knows that it is a big mistake for the prince to send such a person. It was Jiang Chi's fault that he lost the battle, and he won. It was King Lu who guided him well. It's such a funny terrain.

At night, he stood alone on the muddy ground outside the tent. Buried in the current layout, but sighed from time to time.

Every strike location. He drew them all
