Chapter 296 Dongzhou Military Division
() The Praetorian Guards stayed at the entrance to the city for 2 days. In the past two days, many people have died in the entrance city, and the bright red blood color permeates the entrance city.
On the third day, Wei Changfeng led the Praetorian Guards to leave the entrance city, and with Wei Changfeng, there were also a large number of women from the Prime Minister's Mansion who were captured.
On the pipeline from Central Continent to East Continent, a huge convoy is advancing.
Zhang Cheng is located in the center of the convoy, as the commander of grain transportation, the center is the position that Zhang Cheng must be in.
Su Daqing and Zhan were the same two, one was arranged at the beginning of the convoy, and the other was arranged at the end of the convoy.
Then Fan Chenghai and other 8 people were also located in different positions of the team, just to protect the safety of the team.
This is probably the most luxurious grain and grass escort in history, not counting Zhang Chengdu, there are 10 masters of the Sun Capture Realm. Counting Zhang Cheng, the strength of the team will be upgraded by one level.
With such a huge convoy, no bandit dared to have an idea about this convoy at all. The 100,000 Praetorian Guards alone were not taken by the bandits.
What's more, this is the grain convoy of the imperial court, and whoever moves will die. The bandits are not stupid either.
At the same time, the Dongzhou County King's Mansion and the Dongzhou County King also received a message from Shengjing.
Among the holy capitals, he is not only connected with the prime minister, but also some courtiers, who are also his henchmen.
After Gu Yongshan gave the order that day, someone passed on the news.
After 4 or 5 days of transmission, the news finally reached the hands of the king of Dongzhou County.
King of Dongzhou County: "It was actually exposed, but I didn't expect that I was the first of several brothers to be exposed, and the prime minister still couldn't support the wall after all." ”
The military advisor of the king of Dongzhou County, Xu Ru. used to be a disciple of Confucianism, but later he joined the camp of the king of Dongzhou and became the military advisor of the king of Dongzhou.
Xu Ru: "Lord Wang, have we been exposed?" ”
The king of Dongzhou handed the note in his hand to Xu Ru: "Yes, we are exposed, you can take a look." ”
Xu Ru read the note: "Lord, how could the prime minister suddenly be suspected, how could the emperor have the courage to degrade the four ministers at once?" ”
King of Dongzhou County: "The prime minister is a sludge, cooperate with him, fortunately he didn't reveal anything more important to him." What do you think, the emperor's behavior this time. ”
Xu Ru: "I can't say either, the emperor went to Nanzhou this time to bring back a person named Zhang Cheng, and also named him a national teacher, I guess this will have something to do with him." ”
King of Dongzhou County: "National teacher Zhang Cheng, I have never heard of this person, and the opponent I don't know is the most terrifying." ”
Xu Ru: "Lord Wang, I estimate that the emperor will send Wei Changfeng to attack us this time." Wei Changfeng has 300,000 men of the Qilin Legion under his command, and the Praetorian Guard should send 100,000 to 200,000 men, which means that we will face a very big war. ”
King of Dongzhou County: "Do we have the ability to start this war?" ”
Xu Ru: "In the past few years in Dongzhou, the wind and rain have been smooth, the food is sufficient, and there is no problem with the imperial court for a few years. However, we currently have only 300,000 trained soldiers. And there is a serious shortage of weapons and armor. ”
King of Dongzhou County: "The imperial court's control of weapons and armor is too troublesome, and the prime minister's waste has helped us for so many years, and he has also got 100,000 armor." He was given so much silver for nothing. ”
Xu Ru: "Lord Wang, I suggest that we immediately gather the generals who belong to us, and then arrest the officials and ministries of the Dongzhou Imperial Court." ”
King of Dongzhou: "Okay, you go now, the state pastor of Dongzhou, mobilize our people, and strive to control Zhongzhou within 5 days." ”
Xu Ru: "Yes." ”
The king of Dongzhou has been operating in Dongzhou for so many years, and his subordinates are strong and talented, and in the entire Dongzhou, only a small number of officials are not his people.
That's why he dared to say that, and he could control Dongzhou within 5 days.
The next day, in the palace of the king of Dongzhou County.
A large number of talents belonging to the king of Dongzhou County gathered here.
The king of Dongzhou County sat in the room: "Come in." ”
The king of Dongzhou County sat on the main seat: "The imperial court has sent people to crusade against us." ”
The king of Dongzhou County said a message of the explosion lightly. Then none of his men, panicked, were waiting for what he had to say next.
King Dongzhou laughed: "Very good, none of you are afraid, I am very happy." My subordinates are not allowed to appear cowards, Xu Ru, you can come on. ”
Xu Ru: "Yes." ”
Then Xu Ru began to narrate: "Because the prime minister was exposed, our deal with the prime minister was also exposed." The imperial court sent at least 500,000 troops to fight against us. Ladies and gentlemen, we are facing a very difficult war. ”
A man in the armor of a general spoke: "Who is the general of the imperial army?" ”
This person is Shi Kaitong, the first general under the king of Dongzhou County. He is now a garrison general in Dongzhou.
Xu Ru: "It should be Wei Changfeng." ”
Hearing that it was Wei Changfeng, the faces of the generals here now changed.
King of Dongzhou: "What, scared?" ”
Shi Kaitong: "Lord Wang, the last general is not afraid, but Wei Changfeng is indeed difficult." ”
King of Dongzhou County: "I know that Wei Changfeng is difficult, but your task is to defeat him and defeat the army he leads." Otherwise, you and I will all die. ”
Shi Kaitong: "Lord Wang, the last general will definitely defeat Wei Changfeng." ”
King of Dongzhou: "It's okay if you're not afraid, if you're afraid, I'll be the first to solve you." Xu Ru, continue. ”
Xu Ru: "Since it takes 30 days to travel from Zhongzhou to our Dongzhou City, and it is winter now, it is not convenient for the imperial court to mobilize food, what we need to do is to clear the wilderness with strong walls, and leave no food for the imperial army." ”
Shi Kaitong: "Mr. Xu Ru, can we take the initiative?" ”
Xu Ru shook his head: "When the soldiers and horses of the imperial court first entered Dongzhou, they must have strong morale and very high combat effectiveness. Our soldiers and horses have not fought all year round, and they are certainly not as good as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. So at first, avoid going head-to-head with the imperial court. ”
Shi Kaitong: "I understand. ”
Xu Ru continued: "In the beginning, even if you lose some cities, it doesn't matter. We can pretend to be defeated, and every time we come into contact with the men and horses of the imperial court, we will immediately retreat, so that the imperial army will think that we are weak. ”
Shi Kaitong: "I understand, this is to make the imperial army's army proud, and I know that the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, but what if they come directly to Dongzhou?" ”
Xu Ru: "Generals, please look at the map. ”
Xu Ru came to the side of the map, pointed to a pass and said: "This is Lintian Pass, there are high mountains on the left and right, only there is a pass in the center, and this is the only natural danger in our Dongzhou." After breaking through the Lintian Pass, you can drive straight into it and hit Dongzhou City directly. ”
Shi Kaitong: "Mr. Xu Ru, you can quickly say a way, you can't lose Lintianguan." ”
Xu Ru: "General Shi, don't worry. Our soldiers have been defeated, and the defeat of Tung Chung City before Lintian Pass can be over. In Tung Chung City, you can go face to face with the imperial army
First battle, but in the end, it must be lost. ”
Shi Kaitong: "Mr. Xu Ru, why? Tung Chung City is lost, and Lintian Pass is dangerous. ”
Xu Ru: "The soldier is also treacherous. Your defeat step by step will make the imperial army feel that you are weak. The battle of Tung Chung City, because it is close to Lintian Pass, this is the only natural danger in Dongzhou, and this matter is something that both us and the imperial court know. ”
Xu Ru: "In this battle, you must fight for your life, so that the soldiers and horses of the court think that you are making the last desperate fight." Only in this way can the soldiers and horses of the imperial court be truly confused. ”
Shi Kaitong: "Then what, we retreated to Lintian Pass, isn't it dangerous to Lintian Pass?" Wouldn't it be dangerous if the imperial court attacked it in one go? ”
Xu Ru: "They won't, in the battle of Tung Chung City, you fought for your life, although they won, but they are also very tired." And after entering Dongzhou, they have been fighting without stopping. Therefore, before attacking Lintianguan, they will inevitably rest. ”
Shi Kaitong: "Take advantage of this time, in the middle of the night." Wait for work to sneak up on them directly? I understand. ”
Xu Ru: "No, we want to get this sneak attack on them, and they also want it." If you go to a sneak attack at this time, you may be facing their ambush. ”
Shi Kaitong: "Then what should I do?" Mr. Xu Ru? ”
Xu Ru: "The two mountains that Lintianguan relies on are the best miracle soldiers. ”
Shi Kaitong: "Strange soldiers? ”
Xu Ru: "The mountains of Lintianguan are condescending, if we open two big lakes on two big mountains, and then the big water in winter rushes down from the high mountains at night, what kind of scene will it be?" ”
Shi Kaitong imagined that picture for a moment, and shuddered a little: "The hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court are estimated to be buried in the water." ”
Xu Ru: "Yes, this is the power of heaven and earth, and it is not something that people can resist." Even if Wei Changfeng and other masters can escape, the soldiers under them will die. At this time, we are waiting for work at ease, taking advantage of the chaos to attack, and the army of the imperial court will be wiped out in one fell swoop. ”
Shi Kaitong: "What a terrifying strategy, sir, Shi Kaitong serves you." ”
Xu Ru: "Wei Changfeng, who escaped, don't let him go." We sent troops to cut off his grain transportation routes, starved him for a month, and saw how much combat strength he still had. Then chase and intercept him for a month, and you can easily take down Wei Changfeng. At this point, the imperial court was no longer able to crusade eastward. ”
After Xu Ru said these words, all the generals looked at Xu Ru differently, a strategy, pacified the army of the imperial court, took down Wei Changfeng, and made the imperial court no longer able to threaten Dongzhou. For the first time, these generals felt the horror of the literati.
Xu Ru continued: "When that time comes, our opportunity will come. At that time, it is estimated that it will be the beginning of spring next year, and our soldiers and horses will officially attack, all the way to Shengjing, and all the generals will be the founding heroes of the country by then. ”
After Xu Ru finished saying this, the eyes of the generals standing lit up. The founding hero, these four words have attracted them.
This is a great honor, and following the king of Dongzhou County is not just for this day.
The king of Dongzhou County: "Xu Ru, you let it go, you have the right to command." ”
Xu Ru: "Thank you for the prince's trust, Xu Ru will definitely do whatever it takes for the prince." ”
King of Dongzhou County: "There is no need to say so much between you and me, I believe in your personality and ability." However, Wei Changfeng didn't need to starve him for a month. This king personally took action and captured Wei Changfeng alive. This king wants him to see, this king is the best and his best choice. ”
