Chapter 388: The Newborn Calf

Mao Dun has been in business for more than ten years, and bought off a strategist under Hu Lun'er, who poisoned Gu Lun'er's tea and killed him.

At this time, Guan Linlang and Lin Lihu also had a disagreement, one firmly believed that the imperial court would soon send reinforcements over, he wanted to stick to the Great Black Mountain Horse Farm, and the other was more pessimistic, suggesting that the army should withdraw back to Guannei and stick to resist the enemy, in the end, it was Lin Lihu who persuaded Guan Linlang that if they held on for a month, the imperial army had not yet arrived, and they would withdraw.

In the case of the Maodun army pressing on all sides, hold on for a month, this is not casual talk, the two generals have made preparations to sacrifice their lives for the country, each wrote a suicide note, and arranged a deputy general, in case of their own, to be able to lead the remnants of the army to retreat, what they didn't expect was that the reinforcements of the imperial court actually arrived at the border pass in more than half a month, and it was the crown prince on behalf of the emperor to personally march, at that time, the hearts of the border soldiers were so excited that they could jump out of their chests, and the blood all over their bodies was boiling, and the reinforcements and the border army converged, under the unified command of Qian Chaoyang, However, the specific military action was discussed by everyone.

Guan Linlang and Lin Lihu are also military talents, they first put forward a set of action plans, several senior generals in the northern border pass, including Shi Zonghan, all thought it was very good, only Qian Zhaohui objected: "In this way, although we can successfully repel the attack of Maudun, but Hu Lun'er's department will completely fall, doesn't Hu Lun'er have a son who escaped?" Why don't we use his prestige to recruit the pursuing Hulun's men and take on Maudun? Ideally, we can reclaim some of Hulun'er's grasslands and give them a place to live. ”

Everyone heard what Qian Chaohui meant, that is, to let Hu Lun'er's son continue to block the front and block the arrows for Jurong's army, which is of course the best layout for the northern frontier defense, but now, those grasslands have been occupied by Maodun, can they be taken back?

Qian Zhaohui nodded: "Although it can't be restored to the former grandeur of Hulun'er, there is still hope for regaining half of it." ”

The people in the marshal's tent all raised their heads to look at him, their eyes were expectation, and they were suspicious, Mao Dun had been preparing for more than ten years, this time he was prepared, the momentum was violent, Hu Lun'er's army was defeated like a mountain, Ju Rong's side, if he hadn't built a solid defensive wall a long time ago, it is estimated that he would not be able to withstand the pressure of Mao Dun's army, and the defense was difficult, how could he still have the energy to counterattack?

Qian Zhaohui continued: "To say that this battle, the biggest hero, is to Hu Lun'er's general Lie Kuo, he not only led his men to resist desperately, to buy time to transport part of the grain and grass to our side, but also burned the rest, the northern desert grassland where Maodun is located, the weather is cold and frozen, most of them are barren land, he dares to do his best to attack Hu Lun'er, the biggest reliance is that Hu Lun'er is rich, as long as they can win, they will no longer worry about no food and grass, but now, ice and snow, Most of the grain and grass in the Hulun'er Department have been burned, and I estimate that it will be very difficult to live now. ”

Everyone thinks Qian Zhaohui's analysis is reasonable, but is this related to the recovery of Hu Lun'er's territory?

Qian Zhaohui pointed to Kanyu Tu and continued: "I heard the soldiers who escaped from the Hu Lun'er Department say, here, well, it is not far from our Jurong, it is probably more than 300 miles, and the middle part is all mountain peaks, it is a no-man's land, we can arrange for the escaped Hu Lun'er subordinates to make camouflage there, such as tying up the reeds, adding some grass outside, making it look like forage, putting sand and gravel into grain bags, and then deliberately pretending to be not secret, so that Mao Dun thinks that there is still a secret grain and grass warehouse for Hu Lun'er. ”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Qian Zhaohui explained: "This is a swamp, the rain and snow on the mountain peak flow down, all gathered at the bottom of the mountain, at least more than ten miles and twenty miles, in summer it is thin mud, even animals sometimes fall into it and can't pull out their feet, now of course it is very solid, and the appearance can not be seen." ”

Everyone suddenly realized: "Maudun sent troops to attack, and we took the opportunity to lure the enemy deeper, and then attack with fire?" Once the ice melts on the ground, their horses will not be able to run, so we can shoot with arrows. Several generals rejoiced, dancing and doing archery movements.

"Yes!" Qian Qian was very happy, turned his head to look at everyone, and continued, "Our people also have to be sent over, the initial resistance must be very tenacious, Mao Dun will believe it, and will send more people to attack, this time, the more people who destroy him, the greater the victory, the more hope that the people who are scattered will be obedient, and on our side, there will be more of their people, and then, we will send swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and even help them make suggestions to let them fight back." For the sake of their own survival, Hu Lun'er's subordinates will also fight back desperately, without our urging. ”

Everyone nodded again and again, looking at Qian Zhaohui with hope, hoping that he could continue to speak.

Qian Zhaohui pointed to a few places on the map of Kanyu: "These towns, in order to guard against Maodun, Hulun'er's positions are all built to focus on the defense of the north, and to the south, that is, our side, but it is almost a passage, therefore, it is not very difficult to attack the past, Maotun has no food and grass, and he can't win several battles in a row, and the morale of the army is low, which will be very beneficial to us, therefore, I estimate that Hulun'er's side can recapture a part of the grassland, at least, along the border of Jurong, it is possible to recapture it." ”

All the people were excited, around the map, to express their opinions, Marshal Qian Chaoyang, did not speak, quietly listening, until the discussion gradually subsided, he took the pen, quickly wrote and drew on the paper, the prince stood behind him, at first he still looked at it casually, but in the end, he was completely attracted to the attention of everyone, everyone was curious, what was the young marshal writing? Qian Chaoyang wrote for more than a quarter of an hour, then stopped, he took what he wrote and looked at it, and then solemnly handed it to the prince: "This is the record of the war plan proposed by the generals just now, Weichen summarized and sorted it out, you can take a look first." The prince had already finished reading it, he looked at the eager eyes of the people around him, and smiled slightly: "This is the outline of our military operations for the next month or two, everyone, for the sake of secrecy, it will be kept by me for the time being, you just have to obey Marshal Qian's orders, haha" In the end, he couldn't help laughing, "I can't wait to see what kind of scene it is like to return from a big defeat." ”
