Chapter 0230: The Battle Begins !!

In the hundreds of thousands of young and strong teams led by Zhang Ao, similar situations also appeared in different places.

The officers in the ranks, or like Zhang Duohuang, made a bet with a subordinate who was unwilling to eat rations and had a poor family: beheading the first class, they would be rewarded with something;

Or remember that when he was about to go out, the respectful teachings of his father and ancestors in the family released a reward: Whoever kills a thief, in addition to the reward of His Majesty and the court, I have another reward!

There are many kinds of promises made, and the ways of making promises are also very different, but the core of it is nothing more than one sentence.

- Kill as many Huainan thieves as you can and come back alive!

For such a situation, Zhang Ao was happy to see it, and even made a gambling agreement with several senior generals under his command similar to 'achieve such and such a goal, go back and send you such and such things'.

And for all this, Liu Ying, who is in the western suburbs of Qi County, knows nothing······

·

"Your Highness."

A low bow provoked Liu Ying to raise her eyes from the desk in front of her, and when she saw the face of the person clearly, she also got up from her seat.

"Right Xiangguo."

With a smile on his face, he bowed his hand to Li Shang slightly, Liu Ying did not forget to turn sideways a little, and bowed slightly to Jin She beside Li Shang.

"Jin Che rides."

After greeting the two generals of the Zhu Kingdom, and sitting down in the military tent, Liu Ying didn't make many detours and went straight to the point.

"Hongxian garrison, how is the war preparation?"

"Huainan Thief Army, what's the difference?"

Seeing that Liu Ying asked about business without hesitation, Li Shang and Jin She didn't dare to slack off, and their faces were all right.

Then, it was Jin She who first bowed his hand to Liu Ying under the guidance of Li Shang's eyes, and then told all the information he had learned.

"Your Highness."

"In today's Hong County, the Marquis of Pingyang led more than 40,000 soldiers to garrison, and there is enough food, grass, and ordnance."

"The day before yesterday, the minister was also ordered by His Royal Highness to go to Shihong County to garrison the matter."

"According to the minister's opinion: if the thief wants to take Hongxian, the Marquis of Pingyang is isolated and helpless, and he should be able to stop the enemy for 20 days."

After speaking, Jin She groaned slightly, and did not forget to add with a little meaning: "If the war starts, His Royal Highness sends troops to help, and the prince led by the general Thorn Puhou is 40,000, before the first winter of the year, Hongxian County, there is no danger of the city being broken······"

Hearing Jin She's almost undisguised reminder, Liu Ying nodded naturally, and immediately moved his gaze to Li Shang in front of him.

"Your Highness."

Seeing that Li Shang also gave up his hand to Liu Ying slightly, he subconsciously glanced at Jin She, and then said with a little solemnity: "Your Highness." ”

"Since the arrival of 50,000 strokes in Huaiyang Pass, the ministers have widely distributed scouts to explore; The movements of the thieves in Huainan today are generally known to the ministers. ”

"——Three days ago, the thief leader Yingbu personally led a large army to cross the Huaishui, and arrived fifty miles south of Hongxian County the next day and set up camp; However, so far, it has not been heard that Hongxian County has been attacked by the enemy. ”

"Yesterday evening, the thief camp suddenly added a stove, and it seemed that 50,000 soldiers had been newly ······"

As he spoke, Li Shang's face gradually sank, and his eyebrows were gloomy for a moment, and then he finally bowed his hand.

"Your Highness."

"The minister thought that the military camp of the Huainan thieves suddenly added 50,000 soldiers to the stove yesterday, although it seemed that the army was assembled, and the forcible capture of Hongxian was imminent; However, according to Yingbu, this thief in the past, with the number of soldiers to send generals, such a change, the thief's intention may be the opposite! ”

Hearing Li Shang's words, without waiting for Liu Ying to react, Jin She, who was beside Li Shang, quietly revealed a thoughtful look on his face.

"Hmmm······"

"What Qu Zhouhou said really hit the nail on the head."

Seeing that Jin She was in a moment, he showed a look of 'I understand', Liu Yingzi didn't hold it again, but smiled at Jin She friendly, and motioned for Jin She to continue.

Seeing what Liu Ying meant, he saw Jin Shi look at Li Shang beside him with a little hesitation, and when Li Shang also looked at him with a smile, Jin Shu smiled shyly and bowed his hands to Liu Ying and Li Shang respectively.

"Yingbu, this thief, has always been willing to take risks, and there are many deceitful people, and few people use yang schemes."

"Now the thief army has arrived in Hongxian, but Hongxian is broken, and the thief north can go straight into the hinterland of Chu, or defile the place of Fengpei Longxing, or the soldiers will point to Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, and endanger the king of Chu;"

"Or if the thief breaks through Hongxian County and goes west, he can enter the hinterland of Huaiyang from the east, and it is very difficult to block it; But the thief passed by Huaiyang, and what the soldiers pointed out must be Liang Guo. ”

"Now the Liang State, there are no princes in the town, and there are no generals in charge of the army, and the original pawn of the Liang State has also moved to Nanyang and Nanjun."

"Therefore, when the thief arrives in Liang, he can reach Xingyang and even Luoyang without a fight!"

"As soon as Luoyang is in danger, I am afraid of Guanzhong, the hearts of the people will be greatly boosted, and Liu Hansheji, who is personally established by His Majesty, should also have the suspicion of instability······"

said in a low tone, and Jin She's face was already full of solemnity.

And from Jin She's brief deduction, Liu Ying also easily understood: If Yingbu really chose the offensive line that Jin She said, then this disaster is really not easy to clean up.

Here's a very simple example.

Before the chaos, the British and Bu were in a predicament in Huainan, and there were obstacles on all sides; If you remove the risks of South Vietnam, Minyue, Changsha, etc., the Yingbu of Huainan is very much like Bi Ma Weng who was pressed under the bowl by the Buddha.

But after Yingbu occupied Jingdi, the big bowl that pressed Yingbu was even broken.

And now, Yingbu has drilled out the big bowl from this broken place, and climbed up along the upside-down bowl, and is about to climb to the base of the bowl.

If it is according to Jin She's deduction, then next, Yingbu, Bi Ma Weng, can easily climb along the outside of the bowl to the other end of the bowl.

And at that end, there is another place where Yingbu can completely change the situation.

- Buddha pressed the palm of the bowl!

In other words, it is the strategic point that Liu Han's regime must not lose, or even allow 'an enemy to appear nearby': outside Hangu Pass!

But for this possibility, whether it is Liu Ying or Li Shang, or Jin Shu himself who raised this possibility, they are actually not very worried.

As for the reason······

"However, since His Royal Highness intends to 'lure thieves with his body', Yingbu has no reason to forcibly take Hongxian County and then go west."

With a light sentence, Jin She explained the reason why Yingbu could not choose to go west.

- Hangu Pass, which is only the gateway to Guanzhong, and the strategic points that can pose a threat to Guanzhong are nearly 2,000 miles away from Yingbu's current location!

Such a distance is not much for later generations, it is only two hours by plane, or three or four hours by train.

Even for today's ordinary people, or caravans, the distance of two thousand miles, although it is not close, but a little faster, that is, ten days of effort.

If it is the most famous way of information transmission in the feudal era - 800 miles expedited, not to mention, the distance of 2,000 miles, no more than five days, can be delivered!

But the crux of the problem is that in the feudal era, it was absolutely impossible to guarantee the speed of the infantry in the era of cold weapons to carry out such a maneuver of thousands of kilometers······

It's also easy to understand.

- As a thief army, you can't swagger and follow the right path, right?

Even if there are really many people, they have to be more or less leisurely, and it is normal to have something out of the day and night.

- As a thief army, you can't just focus on the road and not pay attention to the surrounding conditions, right?

But anyone who has been a soldier, even if it is just a horseman or a man, must know what 'ambush' is.

These two points alone are enough to make an army of 100,000 people have to reduce the speed of the new army to seventy or even sixty miles a day!

Counting more than 100,000 people moving together, maintaining formation, keeping a distance between the front and back, taking care of the front and back, etc., if Yingbu wants to take the hundreds of thousands of thieves under his command to set off from Hongxian County and rush to Xingyang, Luoyang and even outside Hangu Pass, it doesn't take twenty or thirty days to work, don't even think about it!

And compared to this option of 'going out day and night, walking all the way to the outside of the portal that can pose a threat to Guanzhong', Yingbu obviously has a better option in front of him······

"His Royal Highness wants to lure the enemy with his body, and it is widely rumored to be in the south and north of Huaishui, and now the thief should be known, and His Highness is in Qixi."

With a soft word, Liu Ying's thoughts were pulled back to his eyes, and he saw Jin She looking at Li Shang again, and then said in a low tone: "Yesterday again, the thief camp increased the fire stove. ”

"According to the minister's opinion: this, or as the right Xiangguo said, is a thief who wants to confuse the Marquis of Pingyang and attack Hongxian by force."

"In fact, the terror thieves have reduced their troops and increased their troops, and the elite has already taken advantage of the night to go around Hongxian County to find out where His Highness's Chinese army is!"

Hearing that Jin She finally told his guess, Li Shang couldn't help but brush his beard with a gloomy face, and nodded slowly with a solemn expression.

On Li Shang's side, Jin She finally couldn't hold back his impulse anymore, and suddenly gave up his hand to Liu Ying.

"Your Highness!"

Suddenly raised the volume and said a salute, which caused Liu Ying to hurriedly see that her back straightened up, and then cast her kind gaze on Jin She's face with a faint worry.

I saw that Jin She was secretly entangled for a moment, and finally frowned and raised his head.

"Your Highness lured the enemy here with his body, although it can make the thief ignore the westward and stay in Chu for a long time, but His Highness's safety is in danger!"

Speaking in a slightly urgent tone, Jin Shu did not forget to look at Li Shang again, and added as if instigating: "In the past, the family knew that he lured the enemy with his body, so as not to prolong the war too widely; However, after the enemy was lured in, the family did not say anything about it. ”

"It will only take a few days for the thief to arrive, so please ask the family to show you: When the thief comes, the ministers, what should I do about it?"

"War? Walking? ”

"Or do you stick to one place and wait for foreign help?"

Hearing Jin She's question, Li Shang also slowly raised his head and looked at Liu Ying's slightly embarrassed face with the same confused gaze.

"What Jin Cheqi said is indeed reasonable."

"If the family does not explain the countermeasures, when the enemy is coming, the ministers and others may be suspected of making a mistake······"

As he spoke, Li Shang quietly paused, and then shook his head with a meaningful smile.

"There is one more thing that the minister should not ask."

"However, if His Royal Highness is willing to speak to the ministers, the ministers are also willing to listen to ······"

Hearing Li Shang's words, Liu Ying's already somewhat embarrassed face suddenly put on a stiff smile.

Turning his head sideways, seeing that Jin She also looked like 'Your Highness doesn't say it, if you want to say it, I'm willing to listen to it', Liu Ying only shook her head and smiled, slowly got up from her seat, raised her head with her hands, and sighed leisurely.

"Alas······"

"Right Xiangguo, Jin Che rides, there are many people who don't know this······"

With a sigh full of feelings, he saw Liu Ying's face with a touch of intimacy.

It's just that being so close is not to show kindness or to enhance the relationship, but to a pure trust, and not hesitating or shying away.

"Today, although it is generally safe, in fact, it can be described as an undercurrent."

"In the east of the Kanto region, there is an unsettled rebellion in the north, and the king of Yan, or there is a risk of raising a self-respecting Kou, and even judging the Han to surrender to the enemy."

"At this time of extreme danger, the Marquis of Wuyang is the nobles of the country, and Gu Chenxuan and King Yan are flawless, and the court of Chang'an suddenly has a fallacy, saying: The Marquis of Wuyang wants to cooperate with Chen Feng and King Yan to oppose ······"

Telling the news that made Li Shang and Jin She dumbfounded at the same time, they saw that Liu Ying only smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"According to the letter obtained by the orphan, I am afraid that there will be no good end to this matter."

"——My father has the idea of changing the commander, and wants to send the Marquis of Taiwei Jiang to replace the Marquis of Wuyang of Zuo Xiangguo, and ordered the Marquis of Qu to accompany him to detain the Marquis of Wuyang and return to Beijing."

"In this way, the north of the Kanto region and the court, the bento may be variable; Chen Xuan's rebellion is not peaceful, Yan Wang's rebellion may rise, Wuyang Marquis is treacherous and slanderous and thinks he is rebellious, and there are Xiongnu in the north eyeing ······"

"What's more, my father is sagefully ill, and he can't look at the ······affairs of the court for a long time."

added a meaningful sentence of 'my father has been sick for a long time', and Liu Ying's face finally slowly swelled with a touch of grimness.

"Although the hearts of the people in Guanzhong are peaceful, but the undercurrent of the court is surging, coupled with the father's illness, Guanzhong can never be said to be 'stable';"

"The north of the Kanto region is more complicated and widely implicated, and if you are not careful, you may make the society and the temple have the risk of subversion!"

"Now, Yingbu has set up Huainan and chaos, Chu ······"

Speaking of this, Liu Ying's gaze at Li Shang and Jin She finally brought a touch of haggardness.

"At such a delicate time, Qu Zhouhou and Xinwu Hou think, how can it be good to be alone?"

Just asked this question, and the two of them were stunned in place, and they didn't know whether to speak for a while!

But seeing Liu Ying taking care of herself and smiling bitterly, she stepped forward with sincerity, patted them lightly on the shoulder, and her eyes were filled with endless bitterness.

"For today's plan, the only way to do this is to quickly draw the war, and then gallop to Chang'an in the starry night, and to town the court!"

"In this way, the matter of Wuyang Hou may still have room to turn around; King Yan's general will be reversed, or there may be a chance to recover. ”

"Indulge in the unexpected······"

"If you have a lonely relative, you should also be able to make the community free from serious troubles······"

Listening to Liu Ying's extremely grim words, and full of sincerity and frankness, Li Shang and Jin She's faces only swelled with a touch of contemplation.

- The two didn't expect it anyway: in their impression, Liu Ying, who should concentrate on dealing with the war, actually put the perspective at a very high angle.

And at such a height, Li Shang and Jin She not only couldn't think of it, but they also didn't dare to think about it······

"So ······"

The faces were cloudy and uncertain, and they looked at each other for a moment, and they were about to speak, but they saw a sound of horses' hooves outside the tent.

In a few moments, a figure in rags, with mud and dust on his face, and even bandaged with strips of cloth on his shoulders, but still faintly covered with blood, fell into the military tent with rolling and crawling.

"General, General!"

"Huai, Huainan thief !!"

"Whew... Whoop······"

"Last night, the Huainan thieves left the old and weak in the camp, and the rest of the elite all went out of the camp, detoured to Hongxian, and went straight to this place!!!!!"
