"Huh." Zhang Lang laughed twice. Turn your head to look at it.

The speaker was more than eight feet long, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, majestic and mighty, and his voice was rich and full of energy. It is the Huiji Yuyao people Dong Xiye. I saw that his face was full of dissatisfaction, and he said angrily: "Who is so arrogant, dares to speak out, and deceives me No one in Jiangdong, I want to see it." ”

Zhang Lang was surprised and said: "I don't know if the Yuan Dynasty? When Lian Rong's army was defeated, there were rumors about the Shanyue army, if you didn't believe it, you could just find a captive and ask it, and you would know the details. ”

Dong Xi snorted coldly and said, "What an ignorant Shanyue barbarian, he is so ignorant of the sky and the earth. The lord, his subordinates thought that they should take advantage of the victory to pursue, crossed the Lianjiang River in one fell swoop, and fought to the death with Shanyue. ”

Zhang Lang sighed and said: "I also have such thoughts, but there are mountains everywhere here, the mountains are complicated, and our army is not familiar with the geography, no one knows where the Shanyue army will set up an ambush, and the attack on our army is unprepared." In addition, this area of barbarian land is uninhabited, and the soldiers have to endure the pain of climbing mountains and mountains, urging the army to advance quickly, which is actually a great disadvantage. ”

Dong Xi volunteered: "The lord doesn't have to worry too much. Attacking the hometown of Huiji is also surrounded by mountains, when the mountains are invaded by barbarians, a certain and the clansmen rebelled, and turned to the mountains. After the world was turbulent, the raid and the clansmen gathered together to move the pavilion, and the village was based on the mountains, and the mountains were the key to the war. Now is the time for the lord to show his great cause, and I hope that the lord will give an order, and only need to pull out 1,000 troops, plus 200 from the trilogy, and the lord will be able to shovel the mountain road and point to the Lianjiang River. ”

"Okay." Zhang Lang saw that Dong Xi's words were categorical, and he was full of confidence, so he couldn't help clapping his hands and agreeing to his request.

Dong Xi was overjoyed and thanked him.

Zhang Lang picked up the cup again and said to the generals: "Everyone first wishes the Yuan Dynasty a victory." ”

The generals gladly agreed and drank together.

Zhang Lang's heart blossomed, and the ancients said: Please be better than excited. I heard Tian Feng say that Dong Raid was very good at fighting in the mountains, and he deliberately didn't say his name just now, just wanted to provoke him, Dong Raid really volunteered to come forward, as he wished.

The atmosphere of the celebration banquet was warm, and it was only in the middle of the night that everyone returned with a full meal after three watches.

After three days of rest, Zhang Langjun unexpectedly advanced to the south of the Lianjiang River without a trace of resistance on the way. After the defeat, the Shanyue army did not move at all, as if it had disappeared. But this short-term peace has increased the uneasiness of Zhang Lang and others, no matter who they are, the least favorite thing is to step into the mountains and mountains by themselves, and fight a chase with Shanyue.

On the first day, Zhang Langjun began to send a raft to prepare to cross the river on the south bank of the Lianjiang River, and at the same time sent people to reconnoiter the terrain.

The next day, the spies reported that a large number of enemy troops had been found on the other side of the Lianjiang River.

On the third day, Zhang Lang began to send people to try to cross the river, but in the middle of the crossing, he was strongly obstructed, and the crossing could not be declared a failure.

On the fourth day, the spies found signs of frequent enemy activity in the Anqin Mountain area in the upper reaches of the Lianjiang River.

As a result, no matter who understands the idea of the Shanyue Army, that is, to hold on both sides of the Lian River with Zhang Lang. The Shanyue army of Wuliao Mountain first took advantage of the terrain to block the Jiangdong Army south of the Lianjiang River, while the Anqin Mountain in the area of Lianjiang Mountain Tour was always eyeing the tiger, ready to go down from the Shuojiang River upstream, and attack the Maogan army on both sides, giving Zhang Lang's army the most fatal blow.

The congregation will deliberate urgently.

Xu Huang said: "My lord, now that I am being attacked on both sides, ignoring the enemy troops on the other side of the Lianjiang River, the threat of the Vietnamese army in the Anqin Mountains and Mountains upstream is quite great, and our army must not be defended." ”

Tian Feng nodded and said: "General Xu is reasonable, first of all, the Shanyue army in Anqin Mountain can go around to the rear of our army and make an appointment with Maogan to raid on both sides; Secondly, you can send people down the river and fire arrows in unison to attack our army. Third, it is also the most vicious trick, you can block the water source in the upper reaches, surround the river into a dam, and when the rain overflows, the dam will be discharged, and the river will be full of banks, and the terrain where our army is located is relatively gentle, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be attacked by the water, and the whole army will be destroyed. ”

Zhang Lang shuddered and exclaimed, "Although it's just a guess, you can't be unprepared." ”

Guo Jiadao: "The best way to solve the problem is to send troops to pull out the Shanyue army in Anqin Mountain first, and then strangle the upstream fortress." This move can not only crack the opponent's many feasible strategies, but also take the opportunity to cross the Lianjiang River and kill Wuliao Mountain. ”

Tian Feng pondered bitterly: "But Anqin Shanyue is not a few, if our army wants to open a gap from the upstream, it must come out, so how can the Maogan troops sit idly by?" ”

Xu Huang said: "Our army can blunder here, paralyzing the enemy, and the main force is raiding Anqin Mountain, as long as we take the upstream stronghold, while building a defensive line, while sending people to cross the Lianjiang River, even if Mao Gan knows that our army's Dazhai is empty, he will not dare to move easily." ”

"It's a feasible plan." Tian Feng thought for a while.

Zhang Lang held his chin with his hand and thought about it: "But can our army take down Anqin Shanyue in one bite?" That's a big problem. ”

Guo Jia said calmly: "If you want to change from passive to active, this matter is imperative. ”

Tian Feng also became a little hesitant and said: "Our army doesn't know anything about the Shanyue Army in Anqin Mountain, if you can't come up with a perfect strategy, you must not take risks, one move is enough to lead to a complete loss." ”

"Mr. Tian's words are extremely true." Seeing that the crowd was silent, Dong Xi seized the opportunity to speak.

Seeing that he had successfully diverted everyone's attention, he said: "Since ancient times, all wars have strived for the initiative on the battlefield and even in the entire war, and once the army loses the initiative and is forced to be in a passive position, it is in danger of being wiped out or defeated. It is more difficult to gain the initiative in defensive warfare, but it is easier to gain the initiative in offensive operations. Therefore, the last general thought that our army should take the initiative to attack. ”

Zhang Lang was a little annoyed and said, "Didn't you say this very clearly just now?" Now the question is how to take the initiative and try to win as much as possible. ”

Dong Xi said confidently: "As long as the lord can give me a month, my subordinates will definitely be able to take Anqin Mountain." ”

Of course, Zhang Lang would not believe his empty words, but he also did not deny it: "What good way do you have." ”

Dong Xi thought for a while and said: "To fight in the mountains, one requires a very high mobile surname, and the other is a fairly concealed surname. As long as these two points can be dealt with, the winning rate of this battle has been more than seven. However, in order to meet these two conditions, the requirements are quite high, so the subordinates are willing to ask the lord to let the last general personally order 5,000 elite soldiers, select soldiers of extremely high quality, and people who can endure hardships and perseverance. ”

Zhang Lang didn't want to think about it: "As long as you can win, you can't ask too much." ”

Dong Xi said with joy on his face: "The lord listened to me, and after his subordinates led the troops to set off, they picked dangerous mountains and mountains to climb in order to avoid the enemy. After the lord left his subordinates, he transferred some manpower to build a defensive line upstream and forced into Anqin Mountain. At this time, the enemy army will not give up, and the enemy army in Anqin Mountain will definitely send troops to destroy the defense line built by our army, and maybe join forces with the army of Wuliao Mountain to attack. When the time comes, the lord pretends to be invincible, lures the enemy army, and retreats. If the enemy army does not pursue, it will resume its work, monitor the enemy army, and secretly move up the army to cross the Lian River. If he retreats, as I wish, the Lord will bury him. At the same time, his subordinates can take advantage of the emptiness of the enemy's rear to take Anqin Mountain. Let the enemy army return to Wuliao Mountain in vain. ”

Zhang Lang was surprised, and immediately looked at Dong Xi, he didn't expect him to have such insight, which was really unexpected.

Tian Feng also squinted his eyes and nodded: "This plan is generally feasible, but there are still many considerations, such as our army really succeeds in building a defensive line upstream, at most it can only dispel the enemy's attack, but I don't know if it can cross the Lianjiang River in an attack." What if the enemy army is also heavily armed upstream? I was hit halfway through the river crossing and couldn't afford to lose. Also, is it appropriate to cross the river when our army has not eliminated the Anqin Mountain and Mountain Vietnamese army? ”

Dong Xi said in a cold sweat: "What Mr. Tian said is very true, but his subordinates didn't expect it. ”

Guo Jia said twice: "Actually, this plan is still feasible. General Dong marched secretly, and our army built a defensive line upstream, even if the enemy army was not fooled, it would greatly disperse their forces. ”

Zhang Lang pondered and said: "In my opinion, if you want to take Jinqi, you have to go up the river with my army, otherwise they will lose Anqin Mountain's counterattack and will be quite harmful, and I am afraid that I will not be able to stop it." ”

Tian Feng said: "It's okay to do this, there are more troops into the battle, and it is enough to say that the other party will take Jin Qi when he is in a mess." ”

Seeing that the two military divisions agreed that his views were not arguing, Zhang Lang stood up and said, "Dong Xi." ”

"Not in." Dong Xi responded excitedly.

"Take my saber and gather all the soldiers, whoever their subordinates are, you can choose, and if you do not obey, you will be punished." Zhang Lang said in a deep voice.

"The last will understand." Dong Xi excitedly took Zhang Lang's saber and left with great ambition.

Looking at Dong Xianlong's departure, Xu Huang pondered: "Two military advisors, Dong Xian is here to be a surprise soldier, but if you want his 5,000 soldiers to take Anqin Mountain, and to prevent the other party from counterattacking, and in the case that our side is pinned down by Mao Gan, it is difficult to get a little reinforcements?" ”

A hint of admiration flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he looked at Xu Huang carefully for a long time, and then said slowly: "The lord really didn't see the wrong person, General Xu's talent is enough to stand alone." Yes, Dong attacked here, although he could take Anqin Mountain, he might not be able to defend it. ”

That ......, Xu Huang looked at Guo Jia a little incomprehensibly, and his eyes were full of confusion.

"Then send a team of surprise soldiers, set up points to send reinforcements, detour on both sides, and give him support in time." Guo Jia said lightly.

"Ahh Xu Huang couldn't close his mouth in surprise. admired Guo in front of him, who was young and chic, but had 100,000 male soldiers in his belly.

"So, General Xu, this person is not up to you." Tian Feng smiled and Mimi said on the side.

"Me?" Xu Huang's two almost connected thick eyebrows squeezed into a line, puzzled.

"That's right, it's you, I'm here to support Dong Xi, the situation is changing rapidly, and I want to lead the troops to save time. You must also be able to fight bravely, be physically and mentally brave, and motivate the soldiers, as far as you can do this. Guo Jia stared at Xu Huang's calm face and said softly.

Although Xu Huang didn't answer, he turned his head to Zhang Lang with a look of longing.

Zhang Lang turned his head to the tent and said coldly: "If any of the generals is dissatisfied, you can speak out boldly." ”

The generals in the tent looked at each other, no one dared to speak, you must know that since Xu Huang returned to Jiangdong, no matter the ability to lead the troops or the marching formation, he has been impressed by the Jiangdong soldiers, and he is a wise and brave character. There is a faint tendency to drive Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, and Zhang Liao.

And now the most important thing is that Zhang Lang and his subordinate think tank Guo Jia are all encroaching towards him, and no one wants to be a bird.

Zhang Lang turned his head to Xu Huang with satisfaction and said, "This matter is decided first, and it is up to you." ”

Xu Huang knew that he couldn't refuse, and he had no intention of refusing, so he immediately accepted the order.

Zhang Lang said: "On the north side of Xiuning Wugujian, there is a river that re-enters Xiuning through Qimen, weighs the rate of water, and flows to Shexian County and Lianjiang River to converge. This river is not big, not small, but the water level is not deep, the river is not urgent, and it is very convenient for the transition. So, I commanded...... Zhu Huan ......"

"The end will be." Zhu Huan immediately stepped out to respond.

"You immediately lead 3,000 soldiers, choose a good place, quickly and secretly build a defense line, and there must be no mistake. If the enemy comes, we will be exempt from battle, and we will only wait for our army to come up. ”

"Yes." Zhu Huan took the token and walked out proudly.

"Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang."

"Yes." Almost at the same time, the two brothers came out in unison.

"Your brothers have five hundred brothers who are ready to cross the river, and you must not hesitate."

"Order."

"Lian Rong." Zhang Lang unexpectedly nodded at him.

"See you subordinates." Lian Rong didn't expect it, he was stunned for a moment and then overjoyed.

Zhang Lang's sharp eyes stared at him for a while, and then he said slowly: "Give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, after Ming said that after my army moves, the main village will be guarded by you, you can set up more flags, and the soldiers will take turns to practice, making a sign that the main force of our army is still here, so as to confuse the enemy army to think that Zhu Huan's troops are just to block the Anqin Mountain Yue Army and prevent it from going downstream." ”

"Yes, thank the Lord for your grace." Lian Rong almost all knelt on the ground and shouted.

Although this task is not as high as Zhu Huan and Dong Xi's hard work, it is enough to make Lian Rong grateful.

At this point, the order has been distributed, and the people will go their own way.

On the third day, Zhang Lang led a large army to go up secretly, and Zhu Huan's troops really took the lead, set up more stops at important intersections, and cut down trees and set up traps in a high-lying area upstream.

When Jin Qi found out that Zhang Lang had taken the lead in occupying the fortress road, set up more iron locks and hooks in the river, and began to build a defensive line, he immediately sent people to fight. And Zhu Huan was unmoved, just set up his own defense line, and ignored them completely. The Shanyue army attacked several times, and a burst of arrows and falling fences repelled them.
