Chapter 133: Understanding the Situation
By the time Lan Jing'an, Pang Tu and the others had settled the wounded soldiers and discussed the vigil in the new camp, it was already over. She realized that she had never used lunch or dinner. However, because of the many things and the victory in the first battle, she has long forgotten the feeling of hunger.
When she returned to the General's Mansion, Bi Luan was looking forward to it at the door. When I saw her come back, my voice was choked. Lan Jing'an knew that he was fighting outside for a day, and he was afraid that Bi Luan was also worried for a day. If it weren't for herself to watch Xie Weining, Bi Luan would have gone to the battlefield with her a long time ago.
She hurriedly showed a big smile to Biluan: "Biluan, don't you think I'm good?" And today we are victorious! finally taught Dayong a lesson. Bi Luan nodded, silently thinking in her heart, as long as the girl is safe.
Lan Jing'an just returned home, and Xie Weining asked someone to urge her, saying that she hadn't had dinner with him tonight according to the conditions agreed before. Lan Jing'an was stunned, but he didn't expect him to forget this stubble until now. However, she didn't believe that Xie Weining hadn't eaten dinner, so she turned to Biluan for advice.
Bi Luan shook his head: "When the war is tight, where does the slave still have the heart to care about him?" I was guarding the gate of the mansion all afternoon, but Ning Wei was really nervous at the time, urging him over and over again about the battle situation. It's also possible to not have the heart to eat. ”
Lan Jing'an thought about it, and took Biluan to Xie Weining for a walk. After Xie Weining heard that the Qianjun had won, he had already asked the kitchen to make dinner and send it over. It's just that more than an hour has passed since Lan Jing'an returned home, and the food has already been cold.
Fortunately, after the last kitchen incident, Lan Jing ordered someone to set up a small clay stove in the yard for him. Xie Weining didn't let people bring the dishes back to the kitchen, and directly asked Yin Quan to serve them again.
It was the first time Xie Weining had seen Lan Jing'an come in armor, her appearance was not good, she had the bloody aura of the battlefield on her body, her face was a little haggard, and her lips were no longer as rosy as before. Xie Weining felt that she had another kind of charm, a kind of heroic spirit and decisiveness that are difficult to find in ordinary women.
Xie Weining took the lead in congratulating her for leading the cadres to resist Dayong's attack today, and Lan Jingan accepted it with a smile. After all, after the victory, she was still in a very happy mood. She was very grateful to Xie Weining for being able to get her some hot food late at night, and she was not so disgusted with eating with him.
Xie Weining looked at her outfit and guessed that she might have other arrangements after eating for a while. As he ate, he asked her about the battle. Lan Jing'an knew that he was delicate, and he could just ask him to help analyze one or two, so he said it without concealment.
Xie Weining heard her say that Yuwen Junping didn't show up until the end of this battle, and he couldn't help but stop. He asked Lan Jing'an directly: "Have your people checked before that Yuwen Junping has had a recent illness?" ”
Lan Jing'an shook his head and said suspiciously, "I haven't heard that Yuwen Junping has been unwell recently. That's where I'm weird too. In terms of domination, I don't know who is stronger, Yuwen Junping or Wu Daoming. But how could Wu Daoming, a nominal coach, show up in the first battle, but Yuwen Junping didn't appear? ”
"It's not that the two of them are at odds. So this time it was Wu Daoming's intention to lead troops to attack, right? However, the scout said that all the ships that Dayong could use were dispatched, and if the two did not get along, how could Yuwen Junping agree to let Wu Daoming call all the ships? ”
Xie Weining shook his head: "Transferring the ship can prove that the two of them are harmonious?" If the two of them were reconciled, could they wait until after noon to attack the city? Wu Daoming was afraid that he really came to persuade him to surrender, but he was beaten by you and others. ”
Lan Jing'an frowned and thought carefully, slowly following Xie Weining's train of thought, trying to clarify the facts: "If the two are not in harmony." Last night's temptation must have been done by Wu Daoming, and he was in a hurry to attack today, just to take advantage of the people who attacked the camp to be sleepy. ”
And Yuwen Junping did not support him in doing so. That means he still has to wait, when the ship is built and the training is completed. So he wants 80,000 people to attack the city together? ”
"Therefore, today is Wu Daoming acting alone. Yuwen Junping disagreed, and simply refused to show up. At the same time, he probably guessed that Wu Daoming would return with a feather, so he asked him to take all the warships with him, leaving no handles? ”
All of this makes sense, but why did Xie Weining say that Wu Daoming really came to persuade him to surrender? Where is there an army of tens of thousands of people to persuade you to surrender? Lan Jing'an still couldn't figure this out, and asked Xie Weining at the exit.
Xie Weining sneered: "Ugly girl, you don't know your own value." It's all thanks to your good brother. He made your proverbs known to everyone, do you dare to say that Yuwen Junping is not greedy? The one in Yonghua City is afraid that he is also guarding against his little uncle. He estimated that he gave Wu Daoming some instructions alone, and he will get you first. ”
"As for how to persuade him to surrender. Your cadres are so hard-boned, don't you scare them well, can you just rely on Xu Yi's high-ranking officials and Houlu? Wu Daoming, an old fox, thinks that you have a good heart, and you must be reluctant to let the people of a city go, and you will definitely come out by yourself. As a result, I didn't expect you, the ugly girl, to have the hardest heart, and her head is still flexible, but she just refused to fall for him. ”
Although Lan Jing'an heard Xie Weining's words unpleasant, they were reasonable. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, if it was really as Xie Weining speculated, then the discord between the two masters of Dayong, coupled with today's frustration, would probably make the other party stop a little. You can also feel less stressed.
Xie Weining asked again: "Since your cadres are good at water warfare, how many warships have you destroyed today?" ”
Lan Jing'an replied, "The other party has sent more than 100 in total. But many of them are requisitioned fishing boats. The cadres sank three of Dayong's ships and twelve fighting ships. In addition to this, many small fishing boats were destroyed. ”
Xie Weining breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "That's good." If the other party's ships are still there, maybe Yuwen Junping will lead people to attack the city again tonight. ”
Lan Jing'an had also thought about this problem before, so he specially instructed the sailor to destroy and sink the opponent's ships as much as possible, so that it could not launch a second attack in the short term. At this point, Xie Weining really coincided with her thoughts.
Xie Weining continued to ask: "In this battle, what are the casualties on both sides?" Lan Jing'an sighed: "The other party was beheaded by us for five thousand, but we also sacrificed two thousand and injured five thousand at the same time." ”
Xie Weining's face changed when he heard this number: "Two thousand dead and one thousand injured? How many troops do you have at your disposal? Lan Jing'an had nothing to hide at this time: "At present, there are less than 8,000 wounded soldiers. ”
Xie Weining frowned: "It seems that as long as the other party attacks the city before your reinforcements arrive, even if it is only for today's number." As long as Yuwen Junping leads the troops, you probably won't be able to hold on. ”
Lan Jing'an closed her eyes and replied "yes" in a low voice. This fact was already realized by her after cleaning up the battlefield today. But she didn't dare to tell the generals who were celebrating.
The only thing she hoped for was that Dayong would not launch another attack on the scale of today's in the next few days, otherwise, no matter how much she had an idea, she would not be able to protect Xiangyang.
