Chapter 213: Suspicion of Growing Safety
Ah Han and their success in burning the grain and grass of Shen Jing's army should have been an encouraging thing.
However, the arrest of Uncle Eleventh made everyone's hearts heavy, and they couldn't be happy.
The atmosphere in the Gu family's army was solemn, and the vigilance was a little stricter than before.
In the tent of Shen Jing's army camp on the other side, the atmosphere was also depressing.
Shen Jing, who was in his forties, sat in the first seat in iron armor, silently looking at the dejected soldiers under the seat, cold and terrifying.
Seeing that everyone didn't dare to speak up, Shen Changan stood up: "Uncle, I underestimated the Gu family army in this matter, I thought that the hundred elite soldiers sent in advance would be enough to stop them, but I didn't expect them to succeed." ”
He expected that Gu Huaiyu would fight the idea of the army's grain and grass, but he didn't expect that the Gu family army would be so fierce and desperately want to burn their grain and grass.
In the final analysis, it is still for the sake of underestimating the enemy.
Glancing lightly at the embarrassed soldiers, Shen Changan had a headache, although the Gu family army was brave, but the more than 20 people in the family burned the army's grain and grass under the guard of hundreds of their own people, and it was simply a shame for the world to laugh when they said it.
Shen Jing glanced at Shen Chang'an, and his heavy mood was slightly better.
His nephew, although young, was sensitive, studious, and unusually intelligent.
If he hadn't proposed to let him go to Gu Jiajun to inquire about the military situation before, I am afraid that his 100,000 army would have attacked Anqing and become the fat of Gu Jiajun's mouth.
Last night, he also proposed that Gu Jiajun might sneak attack his army's grain and grass, and proposed to send elites to protect the grain and grass.
If it weren't for him, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to catch a single prisoner of the Gu family's army, and they would have been burned by the other party in a daze
Thinking of this, Shen Jing pulled out a smile: "I don't blame you, it's my uncle who is careless." ”
He said with a sense of regret, knowing that he should have tried his best to persuade the emperor not to send troops so rashly.
Now, the arrow is ready to be sent.
Last night, the fire on the yellow mud road was so bright that it burned until this morning before it gradually extinguished, and although he had desperately put out the fire, more than half of the grain and grass of his army of 100,000 people were still damaged.
Gu Jiajun is forcing himself to attack Anqing.
Originally, Chang'an said to himself that Gu Jiajun wanted them to attack Anqing, and he still didn't believe it, but now, he completely believed Shen Chang'an's judgment.
Gu Jiajun burned his own grain and grass, and the 100,000 army went out to fight, if there was not enough grain and grass, how could this battle be fought
The only way to do this now is to break through Anqing as soon as possible.
Shen Jing looked at Shen Chang'an: "Chang'an, in your opinion, the Gu family army will have peace actions next."
Shen Changan was silent for a moment and replied: "With Huaiyu's temperament, she will definitely not care about Bi Shiyi's life and death, she sent someone to burn our grain and grass in order to force your uncle to attack the city as soon as possible, however, as long as we hold our troops still, she will definitely be in chaos." ”
"Don't move" Shen Jing frowned, "But now we have little grain and grass left, how can we stay still?"
"That's it, the Gu family army is too much of a bully, we should fight to the death to get justice"
Shen Changan looked at the place where the voice came from, it was several captains and military advisors who walked in together, and the grumpy Zhao Duwei raised his eyebrows and took the lead in front of Shen Jing.
"General, my subordinates have just counted the remaining grain and grass with the military division and others, even if it is based on the minimum standard, it can only last less than half a month, if you don't capture Anqing early, 100,000 soldiers will have to drink the northwest wind."
"No," Shen Changan stopped, "If you attack the city in a hurry, you happen to fall into the Gu family's plan, and Zhao Duwei should not be rash." ”
Zhao Duwei glanced at Shen Changan with disdain: "What do you know about a hairy boy, you have fought a few battles, killed a few people, and made a few feats, so you dare to make a big statement in front of me."
Shen Jing only felt noisy, and his head hurt suddenly.
This Zhao Duwei, named Shen, has a disgraceful relationship with the royal family, relying on his own surname Zhao, so he always looks down on anyone.
However, he was indeed extremely brave when he went into battle to kill the enemy, and the position of captain was also earned step by step with military exploits, so he dared to say such things in front of Shen Changan.
Shen Changan is a polite son, even if he is now in the army, even if Shen Jing is his uncle, but the military power in the army is as complicated as in the court, even if his identity is here, in the face of Zhao Shen's words, he doesn't know how to answer for a while.
"Zhao Duwei is a rough man, he is used to talking nonsense, Shen Gongzi doesn't care about him." Seeing that Shen Changan was silent, Song Junshi was busy playing haha, and came out to ease the atmosphere.
"It's just that today's words of Captain Zhao are not unreasonable, now that there is a shortage of food and grass in our army, it's okay to deal with it for a while and a half, it's been a long time, it's hard to protect the morale of the army, general, you have to think twice."
"According to the opinion of the military advisor, what should I do"
Song Junshi groaned slightly: "The Gu family's army sneaked up on our grain and grass overnight, which is enough to see the other party's timidity and weakness towards our army, and it is enough to see that they have no confidence in whether they can contain Anqing, otherwise they would not have made such a vain act of disregard for etiquette." ”
"A bunch of nonsense is just a bunch of nonsense"
Shen Changan was so angry that he flicked his sleeves directly, he knew that this Song Junshi and Zhao Shen were together, and he didn't have any good intentions.
Where is Gu Huaiyu such a cowardly person, she has always done things in vain, burning the enemy's grain and grass, has she done less about this
At the beginning of the Qiang war in Xiangcheng, it is said that she also proposed to burn the Qiang warship.
As long as she can win, there is nothing she can't do
Shen Changan said angrily: "The military advisor's words are ridiculous, I am an old acquaintance with Gu Huaiyu, although I have not directly fought against her, but her style of acting and combat style are not inferred according to common sense, she burned our grain and grass, it is by no means cowardly, but a provocation, an attempt to provoke our army, so that our army can attack Anqing." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, what Childe says now is the same as what Zhao Shizi said when he was in Kyoto, Childe and Zhao Shizi are both Gu Huaiyu's old acquaintances, Childe's words, I don't know if it's for Gu Huaiyu's exoneration."
Jiang is still old and spicy, and after Song Junshi finished speaking, even Shen Jing was shaken.
Indeed, in Kyoto a month ago, Zhao Yan painstakingly admonished the emperor, asking the emperor not to easily send troops to attack the Gu family's army, and also said that the courage of the Gu family's army is the first in Daqing today, and no army can defeat the Gu family's army.
At that time, the emperor was furious when he heard this, and directly blasted Zhao Yan out of the palace, and then summoned him and Fan Ke into the palace.
Shen Jing looked at Shen Chang'an, who was angry, expressionlessly.
His nephew is smart, but he is too affectionate, when he was a child, he stuck with the girl from Gu Yanhe's family every day, and he was punished by his father, but he still refused to change his teachings and willfully wanted to play with Gu Huaiyu.
Now, how do you know that he is not here to protect Gu Huaiyu
