Chapter 38: The Eve of the Great War (2)
"Wait for the dry season to come. Yun Tianjia said: "Among the vanguard troops of Long Yuandong, nearly half of the soldiers are earth attributes, and they are afraid of water by nature. On the Loess Plateau in Northeast China, it hardly rains much after late September. Therefore, they can only exert their best combat effectiveness when the war starts after the end of September. ”
"Then we'll wait and see. He Xiaoduo saw that Yun Tianjia was confident, and felt a little more steady, but the anxiety and anxiety in his heart were always difficult to settle.
She silently walked out the door and looked up to the northeast.
When will the battle in the northeast be fought is a question, and whether or not it can be won is an even more important issue.
As far as the occupied areas are concerned, the sooner the Northeast starts, the better. But for the overall situation, the most important thing is to ensure victory in the northeastern theater.
And to ensure victory, you can't rush it.
The only thing He Xiaoduo could do was to give Yun Tianjia and Long Yuandong complete and 100% trust.
Because only Long Yuandong, who is on the front line, can accurately grasp the fighter.
"It's a pity that I can't go to the battlefield in person!" He Xiaoduo said leisurely.
......
Half a month later.
In the south of Qingzhou, the pavilion on the top of the slope.
A middle-aged man sat cross-legged by the piano table, with a wide robe and long hair that was sloppy.
Tea was boiling on the brazier.
Smoke burns in the incense burner.
The man stroked the strings with one hand, closed his eyes and pondered, and the sound did not rhyme.
"Mr. Wen, the golden-winged eagle peng you want has been caught, there are six in total. A sergeant entered the pavilion to report.
"Very good!" the man nodded with a slightly gentle face.
"The cowhide drum that was hammered during training yesterday has also been repaired. The sergeant continued to report.
"Well, you go and call someone, and make a hundred cowhide drums, which must be strong and loud. ”
"Yes!" the sergeant ordered to retreat.
The fuqin man got up and left the case, looking north.
Thirty miles to the north, it is the confluence of the Jing River and the Mayan River, which is called the mouth of the two rivers.
Now that the dry season has begun, the bottom of the riverbed at the mouth of the two rivers is gradually being exposed.
"Perhaps, it's time to make up your mind!" a gleam flashed in the man's misty eyes.
"Strategist, you're hiding here so quietly!" a bearded general, with a loud voice, strode into the pavilion.
The Fuqin man waved his sleeves and dusted off his robe, sat down in the chair generously, and said with a smile: "General Yan came to me for tea again?"
"Eat a fart!" swallow curtain hook said loudly, "When is it, can you still sit still?"
The man who stroked the qin was the Jiugong Pavilion Lu Cunxing who heard the words, reached out and poured a cup of tea, and smiled unhurriedly: "Why can't you sit still?"
"After a while, the weather will cool down. As soon as the weather is cold, the armor and helmets are cold, the soldiers are thinly clothed, and they are so cold that they shrink all day long, how can the battle be fought?
When Long Yuandong first came, you said that the wheat had not been harvested and could not be harvested. Later, when the wheat was harvested, you said that the harvest was too poor, and the grain was too small, so it was necessary to use it cost-effectively, so I was not busy with the war first, so I secretly hid some of the grain. I hid the grain, and you said that those dogs in the court have already established themselves and cannot attack easily.
You push and block, grind, and always refuse to attack first. If you listen to me, as soon as he came to the mouth of the two rivers, we went to kill him, and now the whole of Qingzhou is estimated to be ours. ”
"Brother, do you think I don't want to fight? But if you want to fight, you have to be sure to win, right? Don't look at Long Yuandong and despise him at a young age, that is going to suffer a big loss!
You know, he's a three-star adjuster who came out of the star calculation tower!
More than 20 years ago, I also entered the Star Calculation Tower, racked my brains, was so tired that I vomited blood, and I only got a two-star star, and the later three-star was given to me by the official supplementary evaluation of the Crescent Moon Empire. Since Long Yuandong can directly get three stars in the Star Calculation Tower, it means that his talent is much better than mine.
You may not know Long Yuandong, our brothers have been friends for decades, you should always know me, right?"
"Strategist, you are too modest and too cautious. How can he compare with you as a fledgling boy? They all say that Long Yuandong is a brave general, charging into battle and being unstoppable, but do you see what he did after he came to Lianghekou? On the one hand, he shouted slogans and pretended to pull the troops in a big training every day; on the other hand, he desperately strengthened the camp, strictly guarded it, and refused to show his head when he said anything, for fear that we would attack him. Say one thing, do one thing. This battle is about to start, but it is coming to sharpen the gun, there is a fart!"
Yan Curtain Hook sneered, and continued: "A few days ago, they clamored to drive us all out of the sea and annihilate us all in one fell swoop. But you look at his cowering style, how can he have the slightest appearance of driving us into the sea? His words and deeds are contrary to each other, and there is a difference between what he says and what he says. Bullying the upper and lower, grandstanding. The so-called brave generals are just vain names. I'm scared for him. ”
Wen Renyu shook his head and smiled: "Brother, don't be deceived by the superficial illusion. Shuyun: 'Soldiers, treacherous ways. Therefore, it can be shown but cannot be used, it is not used to show it, it is near and it is far away, and it is far away and it is shown to be near. Profit and temptation, chaos and take, real and prepared, strong and avoid, angry and scratch, humble and arrogant, hard work, kiss and leave. Attack it unprepared, take it by surprise. The victory of this soldier cannot be passed on first. In short, we must always remember that what we see is exactly what the enemy wants us to see. ”
"The military advisor is inevitably talking too mysteriously. That dragon Far East is sneaky, and every once in a while, he sends a few people to infiltrate our outpost posts, and uses some indiscriminate means to capture our lone soldiers. If you catch a soldier, you can catch a soldier, but you don't dare to kill it, you will eat and drink well, and after a few days, you will be released again. Isn't he trying to find out about the military situation, but he is also afraid that he will go too far and annoy us? He is just a two-faced, timid and fearful villain, at most a little more alert and cunning than ordinary people. ”
"Brother Yan, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. When two soldiers intersect and each uses its own means, what is the difference between a gentleman and a villain? As the old saying goes, attacking the heart is the supreme thing. According to my investigation, Long Yuandong tried every means to capture the prisoners, not only to spy on our military intelligence, but more importantly, to disintegrate our morale.
Every time he caught a captive, he taught them to sing a song called "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention". The warrior did not understand the reason, and under pressure, he learned the song in a daze. After they came back, everyone naturally wanted to ask him about his arrest, and after coming and going, this song spread among our army.
After listening to this song, the soldiers actually had a good impression of the enemy army, and their fighting spirit decreased sharply. It's a terrible thing.
When you fight, you fight with morale. I had previously issued an urgent order that the singing of this song would not be allowed in the army. But after all, it was too late, and many fighters had already learned, so they hummed out when they had nothing to do. From this point alone, it can also be seen that Long Yuandong is powerful. ”
Wen Renyu gently rubbed the armrest of the chair and said: "Moreover, I have carefully studied all the battle examples of Long Yuandong and the Five Elements Sect in the Huzhou War, and I can see that he acted decisively and was extremely alert. After he was ambushed by Han Gongting, he was not chaotic in the face of danger, only one or two thousand soldiers, under extremely unfavorable conditions, he dared to fight with tens of thousands of troops, desperate, courageous, and finally waited for reinforcements and successfully broke through. If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to do it better than him!"
"According to what you say, then we will stay here all the time? He is very powerful, and my brother and I are not vegetarians. Whoever can do it and who can't, it'll be clear after a fight!"
