Chapter 391: Chasing to the Front
Liucheng is still the original Liucheng, and the war does not seem to affect them, at most, the people of Liucheng have one more gossip to talk about, such as the victory in the first battle on the front line, which soon spread all over the streets and alleys of Liucheng, and they are all impassioned, as if they are on the battlefield.
Cheng Xi is in Ruiwang's Mansion, and it is the same as before, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but Cheng Xi misses Pear Flower Village, in this Rui King Mansion, there are people waiting for her at any time, maybe more thoughtful than Pear Flower Village, but Cheng Xi feels that they are like drifting duckweed, without a sense of belonging.
Especially the war on the front line is getting more and more anxious, Cheng Xi's heart is becoming more and more anxious, Cheng Xi, who was originally in good health, was accidentally infected with wind and cold, coupled with anxiety, and finally fell ill.
After Princess Rui heard about it, she personally brought the doctor over, and heard that the doctor said that Cheng Xi was too worried, and Princess Rui asked the doctor to prescribe medicine and send someone to arrest her, and she left a sigh to comfort Cheng Xi before leaving.
The illness is like a thread, and there has been no news of Xu Sanlang on the front line, Cheng Xi's illness has dragged on for more than half a month before it gradually improves, and in the blink of an eye, it is already March, the earth is rejuvenated, and there is a vibrant scene everywhere.
Cheng Xi watched all kinds of flowers and plants in the Ruiwang Mansion compete for bloom, and remembered the orchard in Lihua Village, at this time, the fruit trees in the orchard have begun to bloom, and I don't know how the family is, and what is the current situation of the orchard.
But in today's situation, even if someone from the family wants to spread the news, I'm afraid it won't be able to get it.
No matter how anxious Cheng Xi was, he still had to endure the days, but fortunately, after that, there were several news of the front-line battlefield, and he fought with the army of the capital several times, and held the border south of the Yangtze River, and Xu Sanlang was fine.
Cheng Xi spent the year in the Ruiwang Mansion through March, mixed April, every half a month, Cheng Xi asked Ah Long to send someone to send a package to Xu Sanlang, at the beginning of May, the weather has begun to gradually warm, Cheng Xi packed up the thin clothes made for Xu Sanlang, sighed and said, "In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and I originally planned to go back after the New Year, hey, I didn't expect it to be delayed for so long, and I don't know what the situation at home is now, whether the family is okay." ”
On the side, Aunt Qin opened her mouth and comforted, "Madam, don't worry, there are Ah Yi guards and Ah Wen guards, with them open, the family will definitely be fine." ”
Cheng Xi thought about Ah Yi and Ah Wen's skills, and sighed and responded, "I hope that you can go and call Ah Long and ask him to send these thin shirts to Xu Sanlang, and by the way, let him ask Ruyu to see if he wants to bring something for Gongzi Wen Yuan." ”
Aunt Qin nodded in response, and went out to find Ah Long.
Cheng Xi sat at the table, looking at the package in a daze, thinking about what Xu Sanlang said before leaving with Gongzi Wenyuan, the three princes of the Xia Kingdom privately transferred troops to support the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the Gongzi of Wenyuan had already sent a message to the Great Xia, these three months have passed, and the Great Xia Kingdom should have made some moves, right?
And Xue Dashao's side, there should also be some action, right?
If there has been no action on these two sides, Cheng Xi is worried, the emperor of the capital and the three princes of the Xia Kingdom must be anxious, there is no good news on the battlefield for a long time, and they will definitely jump over the wall and fight to the death, but no matter what, even if the army in Jiangnan is powerful, there are 400,000 troops in the capital, which is twice as much as the army in Jiangnan.
Only when there is movement in the capital and the Xia Kingdom, the rear is in an emergency, and the emperor of the capital transfers the army back to defense, and the Jiangnan army has a greater chance of winning, otherwise Jiangnan wants to win this battle, unless there is a miracle, but Cheng Xi understands that the battlefield situation is critical, where will there be so many miracles.
It only takes four days to make a round trip from the frontline battlefield to Liucheng, and the people sent by Ah Long to the front line will come back soon, but after seeing Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi asked Xu Sanlang about their situation, but the person couldn't say why.
Under Cheng Xi's repeated questioning, the guard told the truth, he didn't see his master in the past, because the capital army couldn't attack the Jiangnan city for a long time, so he set his eyes on Youzhou City, Youzhou was trapped, and Xu Sanlang had to bring people to the rescue.
After hearing this, Cheng Xi scratched his head and cheeks anxiously, and suddenly turned the head of the gun to besiege and not attack, obviously waiting for Xu Saburo to come to the rescue, digging up the danger and waiting for him to jump.
Cheng Xi was worried and wanted to go to the battlefield by herself, but what could she do if she went? In my previous life, I had read a lot of books about historical knowledge, but this Cheng Xi found that it was not of much use, Cheng Xi thought to herself, she knew that there was this one here, so she memorized such a military book as Sun Tzu's 36 Strategies for the Art of War.
There was no way, Cheng Xi had to send guards again to the front line to inquire about the news, and report it as soon as there was news.
However, the news of the guards who came back was that Xu Sanlang was trapped in Youzhou City with 30,000 reinforcements, 100,000 troops in the capital besieged Youzhou, and 300,000 troops launched an attack on Jiangnan.
Cheng Xi finally couldn't sit still, so he asked Ah Long to take him directly to the front line, and by the time Princess Rui knew, Cheng Xi had already followed Ah Long for a night away.
Xu Sanlang was trapped, and the 300,000 troops in the capital launched a general attack, and King Rui, who was originally sitting in the rear, couldn't sit still, and finally went to the front line to sit in the formation.
By the time Cheng Xi followed Ah Long to the front-line camp, it was already the night of the second day.
Cheng Xi was taken to the main general's tent, and King Rui sat on the first place, frowning and reprimanding majestically, "It's just nonsense, a woman and a Taoist family, what are you doing in the barracks?" ”
Cheng Xi couldn't help King Rui get angry at this time, and said directly, "I know a lot of things, maybe it will have some effect." ”
King Rui's brows furrowed even tighter, and he reprimanded loudly, "What is the role of a village woman who grew up in the countryside? ”
Gongzi Wen Yuan, who didn't want to be on the side, suddenly said out loud, "The prince has said this badly, the eldest young lady is very knowledgeable, and sometimes she is ashamed of herself." ”
As soon as Gongzi Wenyuan's words came out, King Rui was slightly surprised, and he actually let Gongzi Wenyuan praise him, could it be that this rural village woman really has any ability?
But when King Rui thought about it carefully, he didn't believe it, I was afraid that Gongzi Wenyuan said this for the sake of Zihao's face, but since Gongzi Wenyuan opened his mouth for her, he didn't bother to worry about this matter, so he only said to the guards on the side, "Go and arrange a camp for the eldest young lady, so that she can take care of it." ”
I didn't want to Wen Yuan, but he spoke again, "Why don't you let the young lady stay, maybe there is any good idea?" ”
Gongzi Wenyuan spoke again, but it made King Rui a little surprised, and said in his heart that this eldest daughter-in-law really has something outstanding that makes Gongzi Wenyuan take such a fancy to him, thinking that it is also his own family, it is better to stay and have a look, so he nodded and agreed.
Cheng Xi continued to hurry, in fact, she was quite tired at this time, but she was worried about Xu Sanlang's current situation, but she insisted on continuing to stay, it was obvious that they were discussing the next countermeasures, and she also wanted to hear it to see if she could come up with some ideas.
After that, King Rui and the others continued to talk about the current situation, one of the generals in armor said, "Youzhou City is impregnable, they can't attack it for the time being, the people inside want to break through, there are 100,000 troops in the capital to defend it, it must be impossible, I am afraid that they have been besieging the city, for a long time, the grain and grass of Youzhou City will be cut off, and Youzhou City is afraid that it will be defeated without a fight." ”
King Rui responded, "Youzhou City is self-sufficient, it should be able to drag on for a while, the most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the attack of the 300,000 army we only have left." ”
Ge Shu said, "In today's situation, we can only defend to the death, first delay and wait for the news from the Xia country, among the three or four hundred thousand troops, at least 100,000 are the Xia army, and without these 100,000, we will have a chance of winning." ”
Gongzi Wenyuan shook his head and responded, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to drag it out, this attack is clearly a desperate fight, this attack, if you don't fight to the death, the Great Zhou Emperor is afraid that he will not give up, and on the side of Youzhou City, I am afraid that I will not give them the opportunity to continue dragging, because I am worried that the people who lurked in Youzhou City before are afraid that they have already prepared, Youzhou City is besieged, I am afraid that there is no way to be self-sufficient, and the only way out is to break through." ”
The consequences of the breakthrough, Wen Yuan Gongzi doesn't need to say much, everyone knows in their hearts that Cheng Xi has been listening silently beside him, and his heart is even more anxious, his brain is running rapidly, looking for the knowledge she has seen about the war of winning more with less.
Because he cares about Xu Sanlang, the situation on the battlefield here, Cheng Xi also deliberately learned about it, the geographical advantage of the Jiangnan army here is only a strong city defense, but there is also a characteristic, that is, the battle line is too long, as long as the capital army has a heart, a city can not be attacked for a long time, you can bypass this city and attack another city.
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is obvious that the purpose of this capital army is not to be a city, but to annihilate the 200,000 main army in Jiangnan, once and for all, as long as the 200,000 army is annihilated, Jiangnan will also become the bag of the emperor of the capital.
At this time, Ge Shu was no longer the usual Hang'er Lang who was cynical, and said with a heavy and slightly irritated face, "Why is there no news from Xia Guo's side?" ”
Gongzi Wenyuan sighed and said, "I'm afraid that I want to sit on the side and watch the tiger fight first, if the Great Zhou Emperor is defeated, the Xia Kingdom can take the three princes to blame, if the Great Zhou Emperor wins, they can bargain with the Great Zhou Emperor and get a piece of the pie, but I didn't think about it enough before, and pinned my hopes on the Great Zhou." ”
Cheng Xi, who had been silent, opened his mouth for the first time after listening to Wen Yuan's words, "Since Xia Guo has no action, why don't we make some moves for them?" ”
King Rui frowned slightly and looked at Cheng Xi, but Gongzi Wen Yuan looked at Cheng Xi with a look of hope, "Let's talk about it carefully." ”
Cheng Xi responded, "The soldiers and horses of the Xia Kingdom are the soldiers and horses of the Xia Kingdom, although they followed the three princes to the Great Zhou to help the Great Zhou fight, but the heart is not necessarily towards the Great Zhou, marching and fighting, the military heart must be the most important, right?" Why don't we start with the army of Xia and shake their military hearts. ”
Gongzi Wen Yuan said, "But what's the plan?" ”
Cheng Xi said, "Since the Xia Kingdom has not taken action, then let's help them spread some news, find a few people to infiltrate their military camp, and then spread rumors, saying that the three princes have colluded with the Great Zhou without permission and attempted to rebel, and the Xia Kingdom has already made some moves, and their troops who follow the three princes will be treated as rebels and will never be able to return to the Xia Kingdom." ”
