The summer night, along with the wind on the riverside, slowly blew into the curtain in the tent. Zhao Guangyi lit a candle in front of his table, and a stove of incense was lit in the tent, and Xiao Tao walked over from time to time absentmindedly and threw some incense pieces into it, which smoked Nana's incense all over the room.

Zhao Guangyi sat at the table. Staring at a map of Runzhou, looking at it over and over again. Runzhou has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, Jiaoshan Jinshan Beigu Mountain, the triangle formed by the three mountains, just as a barrier to guard the city. Outside the mountain, there is the Yangtze River natural danger, and there are countless canyons, which can be attacked and defended. There's also plenty of room to play tactics. The more Zhao Guangyi looked at it, the more he appreciated Qi Zhengxiu.

No wonder he has had to guard this place for more than ten years, and now just looking at the terrain north of Runzhou, combined with the layout behind the water gate, even if Zhao Guangyi didn't know about the naval army deployment of the Southern Tang Dynasty here, he also expected that Qi Zhengxiu, who was good at strategy, must have arranged countless water projects here, and planned this place into a game of chess that can be changed at any time. If you want to lay down here, it is not that Cao Bin can succeed recklessly with some people, you must figure out Qi Zhengxiu's mind and peel off the cocoon little by little. can gradually occupy and break through, and finally force him to a corner, so that he has a chance of winning. Otherwise, Runzhou's territory has so many innate advantages to rely on, Qi Zhengxiu will set up a position again, and he can be played to death.

Xiao Tao saw that Zhao Guangyi was looking seriously, cut the beating candle wick, looked at the map, Xiao Tao's heart tightened, and couldn't help asking: "Did Your Majesty give you the defense map of the naval army I drew?" ”

Zhao Guangyi shook his head: "No." After a pause, he said, "He should have given it to Cao Bin." ”

Xiao Tao's heart tugged: "Then, haven't you seen it?" ”

Zhao Guangyi looked at Xiao Tao and did not answer. He hasn't seen it so far. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to see it. Fighting a war is not child's play, and you can't be rash. He wanted to say arrogantly, "You can still win openly without relying on this defense map", but he couldn't say it, because of the fact. Maybe he can't. Qi Zhengxiu's arming is fine and flexible, and it is not something that he can unravel one by one without omission.

After a while, Zhao Guangyi said, "I'll try not to watch it." But in any case, I won't embarrass you. After speaking, he tightened Xiao Tao's shoulders.

Xiao Tao barely squeezed out a smile, feeling uneasy.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the bright sky outside the camp tent, and said with a sneer: "It seems that I will come back later, and it will not be good news." "Cao Binzi set off at the time, and he hasn't sent the message back yet. It must have been a great achievement, and after Bai Lingdu continued to fight forward.

Before the words fell, a soldier hurriedly ran in outside, and said breathlessly: "Jin, King Jin, something is wrong, Lord Cao, Lord Cao is back." ”

"Speak slowly!" Zhao Guangyi stood up, his brows furrowed, and his voice was very hard.

The soldier ** for a moment, hurriedly straightened out and said: "Lord Cao lost the battle, was chased by the Tang army, and was wounded when he retreated, and now he is being carried back. ”

Zhao Guangyi hurriedly got up and followed the soldiers out of the camp. Cao Bin had been carried back to the tent and was lying unconscious on the bed, covered in blood. When Zhao Guangyi arrived, the accompanying military doctor had already arrived for first diagnosis and treatment. Zhao Guangyi hurriedly asked how it was.

The military doctor replied: "Master Cao has a lot of large and small abrasions and knife wounds, but the most important ones are two places, one is that his arm was severely cut by a knife, and it will take some time to recover; If you are hit by an arrow in another rib, you also need to recuperate your qi and blood. But fortunately, it is not fatal, and it will be fine in a few days of recovery. ”

Zhao Guangyi nodded: "Be sure to be careful, no matter what kind of medicine, pick it up and use it." Let Master Cao recover as soon as possible. He is still needed at the front in the army. After that, some attendants were arranged to serve by Cao Bin's side.

Zhao Guangyi walked out of the camp tent and asked the details of the soldiers who fought with Cao Bin last night, and he had a good idea in his heart. As expected, there was fraud in the valley, this Cao Bin didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he took his advice as a deaf ear, he didn't know how to advance or retreat, he was insatiable, and he was defeated by the Tang army. If it weren't for the fact that a few clever soldiers saw that Cao Bin was seriously injured, and took advantage of the scuffle to secretly help Cao Bin onto the boat and quickly escaped, maybe Cao Bin's life would not have been saved. Fortunately, Qi Zhengxiu did not chase after him. Now it's good, Bai Lingdu and Shuizha have also been taken back by the Tang army.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Cao Bin woke up, took the medicine and wrapped the trauma medicine, and couldn't move his whole body, especially the right neighbor who was cut, and couldn't move. Seeing Zhao Guangyi come in to visit, Cao Bin was a little embarrassed on his face, if he listened to Zhao Guangyi's persuasion last night and withdrew after taking Bai Lingdu, this kind of thing would not have happened. But Cao Bin was also a little dissatisfied in his heart, if it weren't for Zhao Guangyi's restriction and only led 5,000 soldiers, he might not have been defeated.

Zhao Guangyi inquired about the injury and said to Cao Bin: "Recuperate first." The affairs of the army, don't worry about it for the time being. ”

Cao Bin asked, "I don't know what King Jin has planned?" ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "Our army has just been defeated by the Tang Army, and it will take a while to recover, not only to recover physical strength, but also to restore morale. Runzhou's style of play, it is not advisable to be in a hurry, you need to think about it and attack slowly. "Brother Waimu.

Cao Bin couldn't hold back his face, and couldn't help replying: "If I had brought more people last night, maybe this would not have been the result." ”

Zhao Guangyi's face turned cold: "Are you blaming me for not giving you reinforcements, watching from the wall?" Cao Bin was silent, Zhao Guangyi snorted, and his voice was cold: "Confused!" You are also a man who marches and fights, and battles are hard-fought battles? If you can win by relying on a large number of people, then what else do you need to do with strategy and tactics! Do you know how many Tang troops can be accommodated in the Elephant Valley, and dare to break through when they are arrayed inside? 20,000 people! You can't even find out about 20,000 Tang troops! I don't even know how to reflect and repent, if I had sent reinforcements last night, I am afraid that you and I will be locked up in the camp by the Tang Army now! Something without a brain! Zhao Guangyi was really angry, and his sentences were stiff and cold. Cao Bin's face was red when he heard this. Zhao Guangyi eased his expression after a while, "I think Lord Cao needs time to sort out the art of war, and by the way, he will condition his body. ”

Zhao Guangyi said reasonably, Cao Bin was speechless, and only after a long time did he say in a muffled voice: "I will obey the arrangement of King Jin." "If he doesn't accept him, he can't move, what can he do.

Since Cao Bin's body could not move, the military power of the Song army in Runzhou was in the hands of Zhao Guangyi. At this moment, Xiao Tao understood what Zhao Guangyi meant by other plans. It turns out that seizing military power can also have a trick of "borrowing a knife to kill". No wonder Zhao Guangyi knew that Cao Bin was going to die, and refused to send reinforcements.

However, the military situation in Runzhou needs to be reported to Zhao Kuangyin every day, and Cao Bin did not dare to write that he was defeated by the Tang army in the end because of his great achievements, so he avoided the important when he gave Zhao Kuangyin's military intelligence report, only saying that the strategic deployment was somewhat deviated, and he did not dare to say that he was seriously injured. Zhao Kuangyin did not send new generals to Runzhou.

After Zhao Guangyi seized the military power in Cao Bin's hands, he compared the map, pondered over and over again, and even did not hesitate to spend time and energy to obtain a more detailed topographic map of Runzhou.

For a whole month, Zhao Guangyi did not move. Zhao Kuangyin was in a hurry, and it was not easy to ask Zhao Guangyi, so he directly sent a secret letter to Cao Bin to urge. Cao Bin also received a letter from home saying that the child had been in the palace all the time, and now he was not allowed to enter the palace to visit.

Cao Bin was in a hurry, so he put down the letter and rushed directly into Zhao Guangyi's camp. Even if he nodded casually, he still couldn't move his right arm, and he hurt his muscles and bones for a hundred days, not to mention that he was cut. Cao Bin couldn't help but be angry: "King Jin, our army has been stationed here for a month, and it is motionless, if you want to restore morale and body, it is enough." The scorching summer has arrived, and if you don't fight again, autumn should arrive. ”

"It's here, what's the hurry?" Zhao Guangyi sat at the table, pointing the map on the table with a pen, and did not raise his eyes.

"Why not be in a hurry? Garrisoned here, doesn't it cost the military salary? Waiting for one more day will give you one more day of grain and grass, and you can't keep wasting it. "Cao Bin's son can't be seen in the palace, how can he not be in a hurry. Seeing Zhao Guangyi looking at the map unhurriedly, Cao Bin was even more anxious, looking at such a broken map, he could see a fart! Even if you look at it for a year, you can't see through how the Tang Army is arranged.

Zhao Guangyi's indifferent appearance provoked Cao Bin's anger, and he couldn't help it, so he couldn't help but use his flexible left hand to pull out a picture from his sleeve and slapped it on the table: "King Jin, if you want to see this, see what's the use of that!" After speaking, Zhao Guangyi replied and pulled the drawing away with his left hand, pointed to the map and said, "This is the naval army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, you see, here, Xianggu, originally only deployed 3,000 people, but I didn't expect Qi Zhengxiu to seem to have calculated that we were going to sneak attack, and he secretly transferred people from nowhere, but there are only so many people in the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there are soldiers in the Xiangxia Valley, so they must be too busy to take care of it elsewhere." ”

Cao Bin pointed to the periphery, "If you see Huailing, there must not be many people, you can also go to Jiaoshan here, and there is no defense project in Jiaoshan, in fact, it is very easy to take down, as long as you can capture a road to Jiaoshan." Once Cao Bin started, he was like a river, and he didn't give Zhao Guangyi a chance to speak at all, crackling, and in less than a stick of incense, he had already explained the defense map of the Southern Tang Dynasty's naval army clearly. Where there are many people, where there are many boats, where are the fortifications, where there are water fences and embankments, and the passages are all clear.

When Xiao Tao came in with steamed tea cakes from outside, he heard Cao Bin say something inside: "King Jin, this is all the naval armies in the Southern Tang Dynasty, isn't it much more useful than just looking at the map?" If you can fight in time, it won't take a month to defeat Runzhou. ”

Xiao Tao's body trembled, and the tea cake in his hand was scattered all over the ground. The first time to read the "Three More Peach Blossom Drums" is free.
