In the Jiangdong Provincial Border Army Battalion, thousands of miles away from Xichuan, Xiao Jinwu, the secretary of the military department and the chief soldier of the Southern Border Army, stood in front of the sand table tiredly, staring intently at the simulated situation of the battlefield, and the adjutant generals whispered about the battle situation on the other side of the national border.

"Report!"

Suddenly, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a scout with a red feather on his head rushed in, and all the generals present were suddenly shocked and looked straight at him.

"Found the main force of the Southern Dynasties?"

Xiao Jinwu seemed to be more anxious than the generals, and walked quickly to the scout directly from behind the handsome case and asked.

The scout shook his head and said: "Marshal Qiyu, I haven't found the latest movements of the main force of King Wuling, according to the spies who went deep into the territory of Northern Qi, the main force of the Southern Dynasty suddenly returned to the east half a month ago, and it seems that they want to break through the defense line of Northern Qi until the capital of Northern Qi." ”

Hearing this, the generals present were immediately disappointed, and Xiao Jinwu also shook his head.

The main movement of the Southern Dynasty reported by the scouts was already the intelligence of half a month ago, and since this time, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Southern Dynasty seem to have suddenly evaporated from the world and disappeared.

"Will they be able to fly into the sky?"

Vice General Gao Deyong slapped his palm on the table, and the two cups of tea that had just been brewed were suddenly shocked to the ground, and the tea bowl was shattered.

The disappearance of the main force of the Southern Dynasty was likely to be a roundabout maneuver to launch an attack on the Great Wei, and as the target was lost for longer and longer, the generals became more and more uneasy and anxious.

Xiao Jinwu exhaled a breath of turbidity, suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, patted Gao Deyong's shoulder, and said loudly: "Look at the sand table, restore the position where the main force of the Southern Dynasty disappeared, quickly!" ”

A few minions immediately pulled down the small red flag from the sand table and reinserted it into its original position, which had been planted with holes, and it was obvious that such a deduction had been carried out countless times.

The sand table deduction is Xiao Jinwu's dry goods from Xu Rui, which can intuitively analyze the battlefield situation and the movement of the enemy, Xiao Jinwu naturally hopes to use this method to break the current deadlock.

As soon as the small red flag was planted, a group of generals surrounded it, and once again carefully looked at the sand table, the opponent was the king of Wuling, no matter how many times it had been deduced, no one dared to take it lightly.

"Yuan Shiyuan, come this time!"

Xiao Jinwu shouted.

Yuan Shiyuan, the thirty-four-year-old secretary of the army, walked out of the crowd, picked up a long pole and pointed to the small red flag and said: "On April 2, the seventeenth year of Hongwei, the main force of King Wuling appeared in the Bahe Pass and moved westward, and has disappeared since then.

The Southern Dynasty army is mixed in infantry and cavalry, and its mobility is not too strong, and it will take at least half a month to directly bypass Liuqingshan and attack behind our army.

Moreover, with the position they were in at that time, they could only continue eastward along the river valley, so that if they wanted to bypass Liuqingshan and raid our country, they would have to add another half a month. ”

"What if the cavalry breaks away from the infantry and attacks alone?"

Adjutant General Gao Deyong asked.

Yuan Shiyuan said: "Even if you don't spare any horsepower, there will be seven days to launch a surprise attack from the nearest pass at the earliest." ”

"Are all localities ready?"

Xiao Jinwu asked.

Yuan Shiyuan nodded and said: "The defenders of the six southeastern provinces are ready for war, and the beacon tower is on standby at any time, once there is a war, the battalion will receive the news in less than two hours." ”

"According to the position of the main force of the Southern Dynasty at that time, which direction is it possible for them to go?"

Xiao Jinwu asked.

Yuan Shiyuan replied: "The main force of the Southern Dynasty was in the Bahe Valley at that time, and if it went west, it would be discovered by our army's scouts, and if it went north, it would engage the Northern Qi defenders, so it could only move in two directions, east and south. ”

Gao Deyong shook his head: "All the analysis is still the same as before, if you go south, you will withdraw to the territory of the Southern Dynasty, which is equivalent to abandoning the 60,000 occupation troops who occupied the city, but the Northern Qi army has launched a fierce counterattack on the lost territory for several days, and the Southern Korean occupation army has fought very steadily, and it does not look like it was abandoned by the main force at all."

And if you go east, you will run directly to the mountains and mountains along the coast of the East China Sea, which is a completely dead end, and there is no reason for the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Southern Dynasty to run to that place anyway. ”

"Aren't they still hiding in the Yahe Valley?"

Deng He, the general soldier of Jiangnan, asked tentatively, this person is over forty years old, tall, with knotted muscles, he has just taken over Wang Yi's position, and he is also a general under Xiao Jinwu.

Yuan Shiyuan shook his head: "A few days ago, the spies ventured deep into the Bahe Valley to investigate, but they didn't find any trace of the army, even if they were really still hiding in the deep mountains, it was far away, not to mention that the army needed supplies every day, they couldn't stay for so long." ”

"This is not it, that is not it, could it be that King Wuling really gave wings to this army?"

Gao Deyong gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, the generals had different expressions, but most of them were worried, obviously the sudden disappearance of the Southern Dynasty army had brought huge mental pressure to everyone.

"Report!"

At this moment, another scout rushed into the tent, knelt down in front of Xiao Jinwu, and said hurriedly: "Qi Qi Dashuai, send ...... The traces of the Southern Dynasty army have been discovered! ”

"What?!"

The generals in the tent changed color in unison, staring at the scout with eyes that seemed to erupt into flames.

Xiao Jinwu's spirit was shocked, and he shouted: "Where are they? Hurry up! ”

The scout said: "Six days ago, a hunter in the Northern Qi was hunting on the coast of the East China Sea and found the traces of the Southern Dynasty army, and now the Northern Qi is confirming whether the information is accurate. ”

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, the generals immediately turned back to look at the sand table, only to see that the coast of the East China Sea was a mountainous area, the terrain was extremely steep, and there was no road to the hinterland of the Northern Qi Dynasty at all, and the distance from the Great Wei was 108,000 miles.

"They really went east?!"

Gao Deyong stared at the sand table dumbfounded, and the other generals also had a stunned expression.

Xiao Jinwu was also looking at the position of the sand table with a solemn expression, his face was cloudy, and his mind turned a thousand times.

King Wuling actually brought the army to death, what did he want to do, could it be said that he had given up this big war? No, no, it's not time to relax, it's probably a trick.

But if he really deliberately released false news to direct our attention to the East China Sea, what kind of calculation would he have? This flaw is too obvious, King Wuling will never treat the generals of Great Wei and Northern Qi as fools, right?

There must be a lot of articles in this!

The worry in Xiao Jinwu's heart not only did not decrease by half, but became stronger and stronger.

"Probe, probe again, don't wait for the Northern Qi people, scatter all our spies in Northern Qi, and find out whether the Southern Dynasty army is in the East China Sea at all costs!"

Xiao Jinwu slapped his palm on the handsome case and ordered loudly.

In the evening, the sun shines.

On one of the hills in the south, Zhong Qingyuan, the new commander of the Black Flag Army, dressed in black and heavy armor, and Lu Dongqing, the new commander of the Rhino Horn Army in white armor, stood side by side.

In the valley behind the two of them were hundreds of thousands of the most elite Wuling troops of the Southern Dynasty.

The mountain breeze gently brushed the long hair on the shoulders of the two, and the handsome and upright Lu Dongqing turned his head, looked at Zhong Qingyuan with a solemn face and said, "How does it feel to lead an army alone for the first time?" ”

Zhong Qingyuan silently looked into the distance, like a mountain.

After a while, he retracted his gaze and said coldly: "This time, we will definitely fight down, sweep through Monan, and drink horses and grasslands!" ”

"Good ambition!"

Lu Dongqing laughed three times, and suddenly sighed faintly and said, "It's a pity, such a great achievement, but the prince can't witness it with his own eyes." ”
