Chapter 557: Waiting for an Opportunity
There is a way to break in, which is secondary. Gu Panxi is more concerned about the issue of troops.
On this issue, Di Danqing is an expert among experts, Gu Panxi didn't take the axe, and asked directly: "Old general, what do you think about the situation of the enemy and our troops?" In this matter, you can't hide it from Ben Shuai. ”
Di Danqing smiled dumbly and said, "Madam, how could the old minister hide from you on this crucial issue? Regarding the question of the strength of the enemy and us, the old minister has long been fully prepared. ”
As he spoke, Di Danqing clapped his hands, and the two soldiers immediately carried a wooden board over and put it on Di Danqing's side.
Gu Panxi swept the board and found that it was covered with paper, listing several numbers of different sizes. Behind the numbers, the meaning of their representation is written one by one.
The first number Gu Panxi saw was shocked.
"One thousand - Liangshan official army."
The official army of Liangshan is only a thousand people!
Gu Panxi felt incredulous. She originally thought that Di Danqing was here, and she was still taking this Liangshan official army, so she was hugged on her thighs, who would have thought that the number of Liangshan officers and troops was not as good as the Shenji army.
The Shenji Army, which is full of two thousand people, is twice the size of the Liangshan official army. Even though the officers and soldiers of Liangshan were well-trained and well-armoured...... But the Divine Machine Army is not a weak brigade either.
You must know that the Shenji Army not only has unique weapons such as muskets and special spears, but also has experienced the battle of Tumu Fort and experienced the baptism of blood and fire.
Even if the Liangshan official army is great, I'm afraid that the combat power will not be able to double that of the Shenji Army, right?
No matter how you calculate it, the total combat power of the Shenji Army is superior to that of the Liangshan official army. In this way, Gu Panxi cooperated with Di Danqing, at first Gu Panxi thought that he had picked up a bargain, but he didn't know that Di Danqing took advantage of the loophole.
This is really unexpected......
Gu Panxi scratched his head, a little helpless.
Di Dan Qingguang just looked at Gu Panxi's expression, and guessed her thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "Madame is disgusted with the old minister dragging Madame back?" ”
Leng Buding was broken by Di Danqing, Gu Panxi was also a little embarrassed, coughed dryly, and said, "Also...... That's not the case. ”
Di Danqing smiled bitterly: "Madame would have this thought, and it is understandable. It is true that the number of Liangshan officers and soldiers is indeed less. But this mountain is so big, there is really nothing that can be done to accommodate more people. In the past, when this Liangshan official army was arranged, it was to deal with foreign enemies, and the positioning was a surprise soldier, and the emperor and the old ministers really never thought that in their lifetime, they would experience civil strife......"
"Okay, okay, old general, you've talked about this, Ben Shuai understands."
Gu Panxi sighed and said, "The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more." There are 1,000 officers and soldiers in Liangshan, and 2,000 people in my Shenji army. Our living force is three thousand. What about the other party? ”
Di Danqing said: "If you consider it comprehensively, the forces that the other party can control should include the Di family army, the city defense army, and a part of the forbidden army. This number will be very impressive, and I am afraid that it can reach 10,000 people in Le'an Mansion and the surrounding areas alone. ”
Ten thousand......
Gu Panxi gasped, and while he was worried, he suddenly remembered one more thing and asked, "Old general, with your prestige, can't you let the Di family army restrain from the precipice?" That's the Di family army you cultivated single-handedly! Descendants! ”
Di Danqing opened his mouth, feeling a little dry in his throat.
"If it was a year ago," Di Danqing smiled bitterly, "the old minister still has eighty percent confidence that he can make the Di family army abandon the darkness and turn to the light." But now a year later, Di Jiajun is under the control of Shi Feidu and Lu Dewang, although the influence of the old ministers is still there, but if you want to say that it is possible to succeed if you plot against them. ”
Di Danqing
Clenched his fists and gave a conservative number: "I'm afraid it's less than fifty." ”
Gu Panxi was silent.
In fact, what Di Danqing said, she was not incomprehensible. It is said that people go to tea and cool, that is, Di Jiajun was cultivated by Di Danqing himself, and it is difficult to change this matter.
Shi Feidu and Lu Dewang are not straw bales, they are originally people who are camping, and they are naturally well aware of the influence of fame and fortune on a person. In the past year, they must have spent a lot of energy in order to break the loyalty of the Di family army to Di Danqing.
Disperse the people of the Di family's army, insert them into their henchmen, throw money, and smash their careers...... If this set of combination punches continues, it will be a saint, and I am afraid that the Dao heart will also be unstable. What's more, in the Di family's army, are all mortals?
Iron bones, people who don't eat Shi Feidu and Lu Dewang must also have them, but they will definitely not occupy the mainstream. Di Danqing said that the possibility of rebellion is only fifty percent, but I am afraid that it is not modest.
This means that it is impossible to reduce the enemy's numerical advantage.
Gu Panxi rubbed his temples.
The difference in the number of people is three times, and the other party is entrenched in Le'an Mansion, not only has people and people, but also has a favorable location. For Di Danqing and Gu Panxi, this will be a huge disadvantage, and it will be very difficult to break the game.
"Madame, don't be discouraged."
Di Danqing saw Gu Panxi's face look embarrassed, and hurriedly said comfortingly: "Ten thousand is just an objective total, in fact, there are not so many enemies we have to face. ”
As he spoke, Di Danqing moved to the sand table and began to gesture.
"Madam, please look at the Di family army, the city defense army and the forbidden army that we are going to face. The Di family army was stationed outside the city, most of the city defense army was around the city wall, the small part patrolled the city, and as for the march, it was all inside the imperial city. If we break into Le'an Mansion from that tunnel, we have already bypassed most of the city defense army, and the next thing we have to face is only a small part of the city defense army, as well as the forbidden army in the imperial city. ”
Di Danqing gestured, quickly calculated a number, and said: "In this way, Lao Chen thinks that the enemy we will really face is probably less than two thousand. ”
"Less than 2,000 ......"
Gu Panxi pinched his earlobe, although this number was much smaller than the original 10,000, and even less than the total number that their Shenji Army and Liangshan official army could make up, the situation was still not optimistic.
There is no other reason, now Le'an Mansion can be said to be the territory of Shi Feizheng and Shi Feidu, which is completely controlled by the two of them. Now that Di Danqing and Gu Panxi are leading their troops to attack, no matter what the actual reason is, they will be charged with a big rebellion and conspiracy by the two brothers.
In this way, as long as Shi Fei Du and Shi Fei Zheng reacted quickly enough, they began to justifiably gather the surrounding soldiers and horses and enter Le'an Mansion to rescue them. At that time, there was a chaotic battle, even if Di Danqing was there, Gu Panxi didn't feel that he could get out of the way.
In other words, this war against time.
Gu Panxi said: "Old general, it seems that this is going to test our speed and luck." ”
Di Danqing saw that Gu Panxi had figured out the middle joint, and couldn't help but admire a little, this kind of sharpness and judgment, many people, even if it takes three or five years, can't cultivate.
O proud daughter of the sky.
Di Danqing said sincerely: "With Bingxue as smart as Mrs. here, why is the old minister worried that this trip to Kuang Fu Sheji's rescue trip will not be successful?" ”
Gu Panxi rolled his eyes and said, "Old general, don't put a high hat on Ben Shuai at this time." Now that the situation is critical, isn't talking too early a foreshadowing a recipe for misery in the future? ”
Di Danqing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What Madame taught me is that the old minister is frivolous. ”
As soon as the words fell, Di Danqing's face turned whole and became serious again.
"Just as Madame said, the focus of our battle this time is to follow the light
Yin and luck race. Breaking into the Le'an Mansion from the tunnel, how quickly we can enter the palace and rescue the emperor basically determines the success or failure of this entire battle. On the way to the palace, if we were unlucky enough to be prematurely breached by the city guards patrolling the night, it would have greatly reduced the chances of success. In a sense......"
Di Danqing pressed one hand on the sand table and showed a smile.
"It's a real showdown that decides who is destined for it. Look at God, whether he is on the side of His Royal Highness the Duke and his wife, or on the side of Shi Feizheng and Shi Feidu! ”
"Is it destiny?"
Gu Panxi chewed on this word and felt something.
It is said that it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. No matter who does something, to be successful, it always takes some small luck. If you don't work hard, you won't get anything, but if you work hard, you won't necessarily get anything.
This is predestined in the dark, right?
Gu Panxi sighed with emotion, and suddenly put away his mind again.
What fate, what day, what luck? As long as it is to save Shi Feiqing's life, she Gu Panxi will not hesitate to break her bones, and she must also try.
"Old General, when are you going to act?"
Gu Panxi asked a key question.
Shi Feiqing's body will be poisoned in a month, in other words, even if Di Danqing drags it out again, in order to reserve enough time, so as not to have the tragic ending of winning the battle and losing Shi Feiqing, at the latest, twenty-five days later, he must also act.
However, Di Danqing seems to have the intention of a quick solution and wants to solve this matter as soon as possible.
"If the old minister's inference is correct, at the latest, I'm afraid that in seven days, we will be able to leave."
"Seven days?"
Hearing Di Danqing give such a vague time, Gu Panxi faintly read the meaning of his words and asked, "Old general, what are you waiting for to happen?" ”
"Exactly, the old minister is waiting for an opportunity."
Gu Panxi pinched his earlobe, as if he had a clue, but he didn't seem to be able to figure out what Di Danqing was referring to.
"The opportunity that the old general is waiting for has anything to do with the relationship between Shi Feidu and Shi Feizheng?"
Gu Panxi originally just asked tentatively, but he immediately got Di Danqing's approval.
"That's right, Madame thinks about it and sees the whole situation clearly."
Di Danqing slammed his right fist into his left palm and said, "King Wu and King Yan have done so many things behind their backs, and they do not hesitate to commit great rebellious crimes, for the sake of the Nine Dragons Throne on the Golden Luan Palace. Since they are concerned about power, they must distinguish between victory and defeat. One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and they must all know this truth. In other words, at the moment when their treacherous plan of the civil fort succeeded, the two brothers, who had long been incompatible, entered the point of incompatibility. ”
Gu Panxi nodded, Di Danqing was right. Shi Feizheng and Shi Feidu are for the sake of the Dawu throne in the final analysis, and the reason why they cooperate is only because they have a common enemy, Shi Feiqing. Now in their eyes, Shi Feiqing has been removed, and their honeymoon period is naturally coming to an end.
Speaking of which, Shi Feidu should be grateful to Shi Feiqing. If it weren't for the fact that in the civil fort, Shi Feiqing killed Tang Bao, an undercover agent, Shi Feidu, who was afraid that he would be killed by this trusted "henchman" in his sleep.
Gu Panxi said: "It seems that the old general is indeed preparing for Zhou Xiang and has already considered it all. In this case, Ben Shuai is looking forward to seeing the day when he will succeed and bring the two traitors, Shi Feizheng and Shi Feidu, to justice. ”
Di Danqing didn't say much, just pressed one hand on his chest, and said loudly: "Old minister, I wish it was so!" ”
