The conversation between Bai Ye and the masked girl did not reach the ears of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and the two behaved neither intimate nor estranged. In the eyes of Huang Rong and others, this is a good start, and this family business will definitely be successful.
In the evening, Huang Rong prepared a table of windward banquet for Zhu Ziliu's father and daughter. There were nine people in attendance, including the old blind man, Guo Jing and Huang Rong's family, and Zhu Ziliu's father and daughter.
On the table, the elders were very happy, but only a few juniors had their own hearts and greeted each other with smiling faces.
After living for sixteen years, Bai Ye has a little affection for Guo Fu, especially Huang Rong and Guo Xiang, one selflessly helps him, and the other grows up with him.
Therefore, in many cases, Bai Ye is not good and directly goes against Huang Rong's wishes.
This time, he could see that Huang Rong was very appetizing to this girl, no matter how he objected, she felt that this was a good match, and according to her words, it was just right to collect Bai Ye's temperament.
Bai Ye can't, he plans to go out this time, so he will try not to go home, wait until the momentum is completed, and slowly annex the world.
The night passed, and in the early morning of the second day, someone came to call Bai Ye to get up, knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, and the next person opened the door to see, where was there still someone in the house? The white night has long since disappeared.
Today is a rainy day, a light rain Feifei, since the sky drips between the mountains and wilderness, bringing hazy rain and mist. From a distance, it looks as if the earth is covered with a transparent gauze.
A desolate ancient road, galloping horses' hooves galloping, the raised horses' hooves leaping high, as if flying on the rain. The horse's hooves fell, trampled on the ground, and the muddy water splashed high, but it was bounced away by an invisible force, and the man on the horse could not be touched at all.
"Brother, don't we care about her?"
Guo Xiang pulled off the horse's head, let his horse get closer to the white night, looked back at the white rain and mist, and asked out loud.
"No, she is curious to follow, then she has to be mentally prepared. And, who is she? Do you need to bother? ”
Bai Ye replied coldly, and the endless internal force around his body bounced the rain away to prevent his clothes from getting wet.
After speaking, Bai Ye "drove", rode away quickly, and disappeared into the rain and fog.
Not long after Bai Ye and Guo Xiang disappeared, a horse rushed out of the rain and fog behind them, and there was a wet figure on it. The figure seemed to be riding a horse for the first time, and his movements were not very skillful, he glanced at the direction in which Bai Ye went, gritted his teeth, rushed into the rain, and chased Bai Ye Guo Xiang away.
…………………………………………
Tangzhou City, one of the first three state cities to be captured by the White Night Army. It was only half a moon, which was not enough to cause earth-shaking changes, but now this city was filled with a strong aura of slaughter, faintly as if there was a storm coming and the prelude to the outbreak of war.
Columns of troops dressed in the same clothes and armed with strange weapons patrolled the city, and groups of people carrying hoes and shovels and carrying burdens went out of the city.
There were people everywhere outside the city, digging pits and digging pits and picking up dirt, and there were people who erected a stake in the pit they had dug and then pulled something like they were wrapped between the stakes.
It was raining in the sky here, too, and it was not light, heavier than the drizzle on the road, but the people did not complain, but worked very hard, as if they were doing a happy thing.
When Bai Ye and Guo Xiang arrived in the city, they naturally saw these scenes, the shops in the city were closed, and some people were organized to carry supplies or mend something.
The whole city, it seems, is running, all preparing, preparing for a big battle.
This war is inevitable and cannot be escaped, and if you win, you will have an infinite future, and if you lose, you will have to lie dormant again. Bai Ye is determined to change the heavens and the earth, if he wants to build an ideal society, use all living beings to lay the foundation for himself, combine the strength of everyone, develop martial arts, study this wonderful world, and explore immortality, then he has to take this step.
When they arrived at the barracks, Bai Ye and Guo Xiang turned over and dismounted, and after checking the documents of the soldiers guarding the door, the two entered the barracks.
The barracks were still so orderly, and groups of soldiers were training, looking at the clumsy and unfamiliar movements, it must be the newly recruited soldiers.
At this moment, these soldiers are under the command of the officer, learning to queue, learning to stand upright, learning all these new things.
Didn't look much, didn't say much. Bai Ye and Guo Xiang walked to the army headquarters and saw a group of people who were busy, discussing, and completing map operations.
The light at the door was blocked, so that the busy people saw the comer, and they couldn't help but be happy, as if they saw the backbone of the Lord, as long as he was there, even if it was difficult, they could see hope.
When I entered the house, Bai Ye was not polite, and I didn't command indiscriminately, so I learned about the information first.
"Tell me about the latest information, right?"
Bai Ye pulled a chair and sat down, looking through the battle plan formulated, comparing them on the map, and listening to the reports of the people.
"General, according to the information we have received, Meng Ge's army is expected to arrive in Henan Province tomorrow. By the evening of the day after tomorrow at the latest, their cavalry will reach the territory of Tangzhou. ”
Officer Chen Xuan introduced to Bai Ye, which made Bai Ye stunned, it was even one day earlier than the estimated four days?
Seeing Bai Ye frowning, Chen Xuan shook his head and explained: "It's not our intelligence problem, it's that the enemy army abandoned the infantry, carried grain and grass on his body, and advanced quickly. ”
"According to the analysis of the previous wars of the Mongol army, there are only two reasons why the Mongols did this: first, there were people in front of them who prepared grain and grass for them; The second is that they are ready to eat the enemy, that is, us, and they intend to quickly destroy us, and then replenish themselves. ”
Officer Wang / Ce calmly analyzed, he pointed to the map, "If it is the first reason, their supply point must be in Henan Mansion, Xuzhou is just a state city, there is not so much grain, and the autumn grain is handed in, and it should be piled up in Henan Mansion now." The most likely place is that Xuzhou was used as a battle bunker, because it was closest to us and suitable for stationing cavalry, which could both attack us and calmly withdraw, making it a good location. ”
As soon as Wang/Ce finished speaking, another officer, Liu Dong, spoke up, "General, we have bought off a general within the Mongolian army, and he provided a very useful information, saying that the Mongolian army is going to divide its troops into three ways this time and take Tangzhou, Caizhou and Dengzhou in one fell swoop. Meng Ge seems to be a little impatient! ”
When Bai Ye heard the news, his face smiled, Meng Ge probably wanted to arrive in Xiangyang City as soon as possible, open the gate of the Southern Song Dynasty, and include this piece in his bag, just like his ancestor Genghis Khan, who fought in the east and west, in order to turn the world into pasture.
Looking at the map, Bai Ye asked, "Are they going to use Xuzhou as a base and then divide their troops into three routes?" ”
Everyone nodded, and they had analyzed this information before.
"Since they want to divide their troops, it is a good thing for us, and they also took the initiative to give up food and grass, and the cavalry went first, which is obviously underestimating us."
Bai Ye slammed his fist on the table, thought for a while, and said, "Keeping the original plan unchanged, we will now add three more plans." First, through the asymmetry of information, we preemptively burned the grain and grass in Henan Province, so as to make them fall into the predicament of no food. Second, the damage to Xuzhou City, especially the city wall, I think a state city with a broken city wall will have a much less sense of security. Third, send a special operations team, you must pay attention to their heavy food and grass team, they have no cavalry to cover now, seize the opportunity to burn them. Remember to bring oil, which is fierce fire oil. ”
After Bai Ye finished explaining, several officers talked for a while, felt that it was feasible, and agreed to improve it according to Bai Ye's plan, which involved personnel, intelligence, etc., but it was not a military operation in one sentence. White Night was just a proposer, and the ones who really made the plan were these officers who grew up with him.
"If you burn Henan Mansion, I am ready to lead the team. As for Xuzhou? ”
Bai Ye was sweeping among the officers, and before he could decide who would go, Guo Xiang jumped out and said: "I'll go, I know more about gunpowder blasting, and I still have to leave it to me to blow up the city." ”
Guo Xiang looked excited, the last time she captured Tangzhou, she led the demolition team to blow up a few gaps in the city wall at night.
In ancient China, the general city walls were not as high and strong as people imagined, but almost all of them were only a few meters high, made of glutinous rice, water and earth, and it was impossible to be more strong. It's not a big city capital, and a lot of it is shoddy.
After some arrangements, Bai Ye left the headquarters to make some preparations. The plan will not be carried out immediately, but will be carried out tomorrow evening, when the Mongol armies reach Henan Province.
Because, at that time, almost no one would have thought that someone would dare to attack the grain depot of Henan Mansion when the army was approaching the city.
At the same time, burning their grain and grass under the noses of the Mongol army could severely damage their morale.
As soon as he left the headquarters, a soldier hurriedly ran towards Bai Ye and saluted Bai Ye, and after Bai Ye returned the salute, the soldier said: "General, someone outside the camp is looking for you, and they are noisy and want to come in." ”
When Bai Ye heard this, he was a little curious and asked, "Who is it?" A woman? ”
"Yes, it's a masked teenage girl, and she says she knows you!"
The soldiers glanced at Bai Ye, they obeyed the military rules and didn't let the girl in, but they couldn't stand the girl's annoyance, so they came to ask Bai Ye.
"Oh, that's it? Just find a place to lock her up and not allow her to run around. If she dares to trespass, she will be dealt with according to military law. ”
Bai Ye replied calmly, waved his hand to let the soldier retreat, he had something to do, so he didn't have time to pay attention to a woman who was equal to a stranger.
