Lin Haotian nodded at Gu Yuan and said, "Lord Gu, take out the battle plan of the Military Administration Hall and show it to the generals." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Tanihara bowed and bowed, and said sideways, "Rank General, please speak in the inner room!"

Everyone followed Tanihara into the inner room, and when they looked up, it was said to be the inner room, but the area was not smaller than the outside, but the range of activities was pitiful, mainly because the center of the room was occupied by two long tables.

These two tables are placed with intricately made models, mountains, rivers, forests, and lifelike cities.

After everyone saw it, they all secretly praised it in their hearts: What a beautiful sand table! They basically participated in the first Jinchi battle, and they immediately judged by just looking at the appearance of the sand table, one of them was Surabaya County in the Red Country, and the other was Zeping County in the Red Country.

There is no need to look at the battle plan of the military and political hall, just look at the two sand tables placed, everyone already knows in their hearts that it seems that the main focus of the second time against the red army is still in Surabaya and Zeping two counties.

Soon, Gu Yuan took out the plan drawn up by the Military Administration Hall and handed it to everyone to see, the content of which was the preliminary plan of the Jin Army's war against the Red Army.

Although there are sand tables of Surabaya and Zepyeong counties in the inner room, Surabaya is not touched at all in the plan, and it is mainly aimed at the combat operations of the Jin army in Zepyeong County.

After everyone looked at it from beginning to end, Ding Feng looked suspicious and asked: "According to this strategy, is our army going to abandon Surabaya and only fight a decisive battle with the Red Army in Zeping?"

Lin Haotian didn't speak, he looked at Gu Yuan silently, and when he answered, the question Ding Feng asked was exactly what he wanted to ask.

Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Now the Red Kingdom has deployed heavy troops in the two counties of Surabaya and Zeping, and there are capable generals of the Red Kingdom to defend it. If our army attacks Surabaya and Zepyeong at the same time, and also fights with the Red Kingdom in Ningdi, then our country will become a three-front battle, and we will repeat the mistake of failing in the next war. Based on the lesson of the last time, the Junzheng Hall suggested that Surabaya and Zepyeong should take one of them, and our army should concentrate all its strength. Storm a place, the first battle is a decisive battle, as much as possible to achieve a single blow to win!"

Ding Feng pondered for a moment, noncommittal, such a large-scale macro tactics and tactics were not what he, the commander of the army, was good at.

He asked again: "Even if Surabaya and Zeping want to choose one or the other, then why choose Zeping instead of Surabaya? Our army sent troops to Surabaya, and the soldiers all had a heart of revenge and shame, and their morale was definitely high. ”

Gu Yuan smiled and said: "General Ding, in fact, there is no consensus within the Military Administration Hall about whether our army's first attack will be Surabaya or Zeping. According to the humble opinion of the lower officials, Surabaya is certainly an important place in the Red Kingdom, and its county head is certainly the culprit who killed Lord Chen. But after all, it is located in the northwest of Chiguo, and it was originally the capital of Chiguo. Even if our army defeats Surabaya in one go, it will not pose a fatal threat to the Red Country, but Zepyeong County is different, it is located in the center of the Red Country, southeast and northwest, extending in all directions. As long as our army occupies Zeping, it will be equivalent to tearing apart the defense line of the Red Country from the center, which will not only be a heavy blow to the overall morale of the Red Country, but will also enable our army to occupy an all-round initiative. Whether it is Tianyang County in the east, Surabaya County in the west, or Haowan County in the south, near the capital of Chiguo, it is under the control of our army, which is very beneficial to our army's next operations!"

Ding Feng didn't bother about having to fight Surabaya, he just asked casually, and he listened to Gu Yuan's head on the road, obviously a Chinese expert, so he didn't say more.

Lin Haotian smiled beside him and asked everyone, "What do you generals think of the overall strategy of the Military and Political Hall?"

Ding Fengying said: "It is reasonable and well-founded, and the general will think it is feasible." ”

Jin Cheng, Gu Liangyun and other generals also nodded in response: "Fighting Zeping is indeed a move, at least, Zeping's strategic location is much more important than Surabaya." ”

"However, the Red Army is also guarding against our hand, and it is reported that the Red Army has no less than 400,000 garrisons in Zeping, far more than Surabaya, and it is not easy to fight Zeping, and its battle losses are bound to be very large. Bi Wu said with some concern.

Tanihara said: "At this point, the Military Administration Hall also held a collegial discussion and decided to use the Iron Lion Army as the vanguard of our army to attack the Battle of Zeping. ”

Everyone present looked at each other after hearing this, and no one spoke.

The decision to send the Iron Lion Army to attack Zeping may have been a tactical strategy, but it was probably more about currying favor with the adults.

The Iron Lion Army is a pure Youren legion, with 400,000 people under it, and such a large Youren army will undoubtedly become a heart disease that makes adults uncomfortable within the Jin Army. Sending the Iron Lion Army to fight Zeping can verify the combat power of the Youren, and the most important thing is that it can consume the Iron Lion Army and alleviate the concerns of adults about it.

This is obviously a strategy that kills multiple birds with one stone, and it seems that the people in the military and political hall are not in vain!

Sure enough, after listening to Gu Yuan's opinion, Lin Haotian nodded and said: "This method is good! The Iron Lion Army has 400,000 people, and it is a special army, and it has always been brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, so it is very suitable for them to fight the tough battle of Zeping." ”

Bi Wu smiled secretly in his heart, his face was silent, and he asked, "I don't know the reinforcements in the rear, how did the Military Administration Hall arrange it?"

"The 1st and 5th Legions are combined into the rear, and if the Iron Lion Army loses the battle at the front, the 1st and 5th Legions can be reinforced, and ......"

Speaking of this, Gu Yuan looked at Lin Haotian and whispered: "Since the cavalry of the Red Kingdom is very powerful, the best way for our army to overcome it is to use heavy cavalry, so in the Battle of Zeping, the Seventh Army may also be used." ”

Since the Seventh Legion is the only cavalry corps in the Jin Kingdom at present, it is very precious in the eyes of everyone, so if the Seventh Legion is sent to the battlefield, Gu Yuan is also very cautious.

Lin Haotian smiled when he heard this, and said: "The establishment of the legion is for fighting, not for people to watch or scare people. This battle against the Red Army can only be won, not defeated, not to mention the use of the Seventh Army, even if it is the strength of the whole country, it will not hesitate!"

Gu Yuan's spirit perked up and said, "If your lord has this determination, the ministers can let it go." ”

Lin Haotian said: "This time, I still have to personally conquer the Red Country, you have to remember that the Fourth Army will also be arranged in the army of the expedition." ”

"This ......" Tanihara did not respond to the horse, the battle against the red. It is not a small war, it stands to reason that such a large-scale national war, adults are not suitable to participate in person, in case of an accident on the battlefield, it will be a national turmoil. The whole army is in chaos, and the risk is too high.

Seeing that he was speechless for a long time, Lin Haotian asked, "What's the matter?" Lord Gu thinks that Ben Shuai can't go on the expedition?"

"No, no, no! Wechen doesn't dare! It's just that Wechen feels that the journey is far away, and I am afraid that adults will ...... Delay the government!" "Gu Yuan came out of the Fourth Army, of course, he knew Lin Haotian's personality, and he knew that he liked to charge into battle. But it's not easy to say it too bluntly, so you can only persuade him around the bend.

Hearing Gu Yuan's advice, Lin Haotian said: "The government has its own Peng Qian's agent, if Peng Qian is too busy, there are also the Military and Political Hall and the Political Participation Hall to assist, this matter, Lord Gu does not have to worry!"

Seeing that Gu Yuan was still about to speak, Lin Haotian waved his hand. And said: "I have made up my mind, you will do what I want!"

Lin Haotian insisted on conquering the Red Kingdom in person. Gu Yuan couldn't help it, and he had no choice but to give it up.

After everyone formulated the battle plan, the battle of the Jin State against the Red was officially put on the agenda.

The war materials raised by the Jin country began to be transported to the five counties of Chibei in batches and in batches, and at the same time, the first army, the fourth army, the fifth army, and the seventh army of the Jin country totaled four legions, more than 400,000 people. and also marched southward.

On the other side, the Second Army Corps led by Bi Wu and the Fifth Army Corps led by Jin Cheng marched to Mudi, preparing to launch an attack from Mubei Eight Counties to Munan Eight Counties.

The armies on both sides marched hand in hand, ready to fight a two-front confrontation with the Red Kingdom.

The series of military deployments and transfers of the Jin State were carried out in accordance with the plan put forward by the Military and Political Hall, and it can be said that the leading role of the Jin State in the Red War this time was the Military and Political Hall. It was at this time that the emergence of the military administration hall began.

The Jin State was in full swing to make pre-war preparations, a large number of troops went south and west, and it was impossible for the Red Kingdom to be unaware, and for a while, the suspicion of the war was densely spread in the head of Jiankang City, and the tense atmosphere spread inside and outside the Red Kingdom's court.

The current military strength of the Red Kingdom is not strong, first in the first Jinchi War suffered heavy losses, and before it could recover, it participated in the Battle of Annihilation, although the war was a joint effort of the six countries, but the Red Kingdom's own losses were not small.

The Jin Kingdom also participated in the Battle of the Annihilation of You, but the goals of the Jin Kingdom and the Red Kingdom were different.

What the Red Kingdom wants is a quarter of the Youdi, which is the long-term income, and the Jin Kingdom wants the spoils of war and manpower, which is the short-term gains, which led to the fact that at that time, the Jin State seemed to have suffered a big loss, but now that the war is on the horizon, the Jin State's original 'short-sightedness' has played a role, the military resources are sufficient, and the Jin Army, which has 400,000 You troops to join, is undoubtedly like a tiger with wings, and the military strength is strong, I am afraid that it is also the best to face the Yan State now.

At this time, it was the period when the Red Kingdom was most reluctant to start a war with the Jin State, and what the Red Kingdom needed most now was time, as long as the time was sufficient, with the vast territory and abundant resources that the Red Country now occupied, it would definitely be able to support it to establish a large central army.

However, the information returned from the Jin Kingdom has repeatedly shown that the Jin State is imminent to send troops to the Red Kingdom, and there is not much time left for the Red Kingdom.

Shi Huai urgently transferred troops to the north to continue to strengthen the defense of the north, and on the other hand, he sent envoys to visit Yanguo.

To the Yan State, the Red Kingdom completely showed a vassal posture, groveled, and asked for the protection of the Yan State, while the envoy of the Red Kingdom who sent to the Jin State brought a handwritten letter from Shi Huai, in which Shi Huai mentioned that he wanted to marry his sister Shi Tong to Lin Haotian.

After reading Shi Huai's letter, Lin Haotian couldn't help but smile on his back, Shi Huai actually wanted to use the trick of kissing, it was really ridiculous!

However, Shi Huaiken, who is so good-looking and hates himself to the bone, talked about peace with himself in a low voice, it can be seen that he was really helpless to make this decision, so it can be seen that now even Shi Huai is not sure about this battle, so shouldn't he send troops to fight?

Lin Haotian did not leave any affection for the envoys of the Red Kingdom, tore up Shi Huai's handwritten letter in front of him, and then said in a deep voice: "This time, your Red Kingdom has brutalized our country's loyalty and goodness for no reason, and your country has the same hatred for the enemy, and you will definitely avenge the murdered Lord Chen and seek justice." If the Red Kingdom wants to stop the war, it is also simple, send the murderer who killed Lord Chen to the Jin Kingdom, and then cede the Surabaya County where Lord Chen was killed to the Jin Kingdom, in addition, Shi Huaide personally came to the Jin Kingdom to apologize to Ben Shuai in person, only in this way will Ben Shuai consider the matter of peace!"

By saying this, he was deliberately making things difficult, except for the first one. The other two items were not answered by the envoys of the Red Kingdom no matter what, and he would not even consider them, his face changed, and he said, "General Lin's request is too much......

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Haotian waved his hand impatiently and said, "Ben Shuai's words have been finished." Go back to where you came from!"

The envoy of the Red Kingdom still wanted to speak, but at this time, the guards of the Jin Kingdom outside the door had already strode in, and without saying anything, he took the two arms of the envoy and dragged him outside.

Sending away the envoys of the Red Kingdom, the smile on Lin Haotian's face disappeared, he snorted coldly, and said quietly: "Now." Even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes to be a lobbyist, don't even think about saving the Red Kingdom!"

In Lin Haotian's eyes, Chiguo has already become a nail nailed to the armpit of Jin Guo, and the trouble of his henchmen will not be unpleasant.

Before he left for the south, a happy event happened in the court of the Jin Kingdom, Peng Qian, the chief strategist under Lin Haotian, and Liang Yan, the daughter of Liang Yun, the former great uncle of Youguo, were about to get married.

Strictly speaking, this family business is still a matchmaker made by Lin Haotian. At the beginning, when he chose Liang Yan for Peng Qian. The former's attitude was still very resistant, but he didn't expect that after just over a month, Peng Qian was already about to marry Liang Yan.

Lin Haotian was very happy about this matter, not only sent a heavy gift to Peng's mansion, but also prepared to attend the wedding of the two of them in person.

Peng Qian is sleek and has a high position in the court. His wedding is naturally indispensable to the ministers of the court and the magnates inside and outside Wancheng.

On the day of the marriage, there were horse-drawn carriages lined up outside the door of Peng's house, and because there were so many vehicles, almost the entire street was blocked. Inside Peng's house. It is even more crowded, overcrowded, and dignitaries and dignitaries in gorgeous costumes come in and out, in groups of three or five, and it is very lively.

In addition, there are also guards standing inside and outside the Peng Mansion, because Lin Haotian is going to come in person, Lin Haotian's guard battalion has arrived first, and set up sentry posts inside and outside the Peng Mansion, and at the same time, the Duwei Battalion and the Lieutenant's Mansion have also sent a large number of people to strengthen the protection of the Peng Mansion.

Inside the Peng Mansion was full of people, laughing and cheering, while outside the Peng Mansion was three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and the patrols walking around were wave after wave.

With such a tight guard, not to mention a person, not even a rat would want to get in from the outside.

At noon, the welcoming procession arrived at Peng's mansion, and people were also very curious about Peng Qian, the lady who was marrying Ming Media, and they stretched their necks to look.

However, the bride has a hijab and is wearing a loose red brocade robe, not to mention that she can't see Liang Yan's appearance clearly, and she can't even see her figure. It's just that, with her appearance, a faint fragrance immediately wafted from the scene, although it was not strong, but it would not be ignored, and it smelled refreshing.

When Liang Yan and Peng Qian finished worshipping the church, and the latter lifted her hijab, people could see the true face of Lushan.

In people's impressions, most of the Youren women are wild, dark-skinned, rude and unapproachable, but when they saw Liang Yan's delicate appearance clearly, they immediately changed their opinion of Youren women.

Liang Yan's face is as white as jade, her face can't find even a slight flaw, thick eyebrows, big watery eyes, and a small cherry mouth with vermilion dots under the stubborn and tall nose bridge.

Her appearance is not only beautiful, but also with a man-like heroic spirit, many people at the scene can't help but look straight, and at the same time have a sigh in their hearts: It turns out that there are such outstanding women among the people, no wonder the adults will personally propose to Lord Peng!

There was another person present who attracted everyone's attention, and that was the father of the bride, Liang Yun! He used to be the great uncle of You Guo, but since he arrived in the Jin Kingdom, he lived in a secluded place and rarely appeared in the outside world, and there were very few people who had actually seen him.

Originally, he was just a declining aristocrat of a dead country, and no one wanted to have anything to do with him, but now it is different, his eldest daughter married Peng Qian, and he became the minister's father-in-law.

As soon as Peng Qian asked Liang Yan to be sent into the cave room, Lin Haotian arrived.

As the monarch, his appearance is not trivial, not only has a large number of guards to escort him, but the scene is also overwhelmed, no matter how high or low the other party's status is, in front of Lin Haotian, the boss, they are all courtiers and subjects, and they all have to kneel and bow down.

Seeing Peng Qian, who has always been old and steady, wearing a red and glamorous groom outfit, Lin Haotian smiled secretly in his heart, stepped forward, first helped Peng Qian up, and then waved his hand to the people around him, and said with a smile: "Everyone get up! Today is a big day, and you don't have to pay attention to those complicated mattresses." ”

Lin Haotian behaved approachably at Peng Qian's wedding, and the guests present also seemed much more relaxed, and the atmosphere on the scene gradually became warmer.

Because there were too many guests coming today, among which dragons and snakes were mixed, many people didn't even know Peng Qian, he was also worried about accidents, and didn't want Lin Haotian to stay outside for too long, seeing that the ministers had already greeted the adults, he walked to Lin Haotian's side and said in a low voice: "My lord, Weichen has prepared wine and food in the inner room, my lord, please move to the inner room to eat!"

Lin Haotian didn't like to socialize, but when he said this, he didn't think much about it, so he nodded and agreed.

Peng Qian took Lin Haotian through the small door in the lobby, entered the atrium of Peng's mansion, and walked through a long pavilion corridor before coming to his bedroom.

Although it is a bedroom, the space inside is not small, divided into three rooms: inside, middle and outside, the outside room is used for meeting guests, the middle room can be used as a room, and the innermost room is the place to sleep and rest.

In the room outside, tables and dishes had been set up in the center and on both sides, and after inviting Lin Haotian to sit on the main seat, Peng Qian ordered his subordinates to invite his father-in-law Liang Yun, Chu Lianyu, Ding Feng, Bi Wu and others together. (To be continued......)
