Chapter 147: North-South Confrontation: A New Pattern (3)

With the close cooperation of a group of young people, Yu Qingwu's tactics of taking Jigong Mountain were completely copied, which can really be said to be the way to return the favor to the other.

Yu Qingwu's hard-earned advantages came to naught overnight, and when he arrived at Jigong Mountain that day, he realized why he had been asking for help in the direction of Xicheng, it turned out to be to drag himself down, and the real Zhou Ce had already bypassed Xinxian County to take Jigong Mountain lightly.

After struggling to rescue Xiao Han, the remnants of the brigade concentrated on Wusheng Pass, Yu Qingwu ordered the pass to be blocked, and Xiao Han took the initiative to lock himself up after returning to the pass.

Yu Qingwu didn't have time to care about what Xiao Han was doing, he was thinking about how to stick to Wusheng Pass, he couldn't lose it here, and he didn't have to lock himself up if he lost himself, just wipe his neck.

Unexpectedly, I waited for three days in a row, not a single soldier outside the gate was seen, Yu Qingwu cautiously sent out a horse, and the news of the report surprised him, it turned out that Xuan Song and others had withdrawn as early as three days ago, Xuan Song returned to Jingshan, Tan Ji moved the pioneer camp to Suizhou City, and Zhou Ce swaggered back to Huangchuan after handing over the defense of Jigong Mountain, Yu Qingwu didn't understand, these three people didn't do anything under such an obvious advantage, and went directly back to their respective homes to repair.

On March 17, Yu Qingwu no longer waited, and hurriedly returned to Shenzhou after arranging the deployment of Wushengguan, not that he wanted to leave but had to go, and his younger brother Yu Qingyu wrote that Luo Chen sent the crown prince Quan Hui from Runan to kill Caizhou, and he was about to be unable to resist.

After Xiao Yu knew about the situation in Shenzhou and studied it, he thought that Yu Qingwu was really difficult to deal with alone, and even the imperial court was a little harsh on him, and he was too tired to run for his life.

So he ordered Xiao Han to assassinate Caizhou and Yu Qingyu to be the general of Caizhou, and the two concentrated on harassing Zhou Ce and Luo Chen, and Yu Qingwu's only task was to deal with Yunmeng's Xifu soldiers.

After Yu Qingwu was relieved, he studied in detail the combat methods of the new generation of generals in Xifu, cunning, treacherous, and without a fixed model, especially Xuan Song, his means of using troops are not inherently purposeful, and even many times after the departure of the army temporarily change the target of the attack, it seems to be arbitrary, but Yu Qingwu does not think so, this tactic seems to be out of order, in fact, Xuan Song's ability to make decisions on the spot, according to the changes in the battlefield situation, immediately and temporarily, this is the ability, but also the knowledge.

And Tan Ji's advantage is that no matter how Shangguan tosses, he can immediately understand the key, and his subordinates are extremely tough, no matter whether they win or lose, they are very calm, and this combination is much more difficult to deal with than the combination of quartz and Deng Ang.

When Yu Qingwu racked his brains to find a way to deal with Xuan Song and Tan Ji, Xuan Song secretly arrived in Suizhou City.

"Huaihou, but do you have a new plan?" Tan Ji was a little jealous of this Xuan Songben, who was not much older than himself, but the battle of Suizhou City and Jigong Mountain convinced him.

Xuan Song's temperament has always been cold, and in the face of Tan Ji's question, he said expressionlessly: "The defense of Jigong Mountain will be strengthened by one layer, make a strict defensive posture, and after the arrangement, you will follow me over Tongbai Mountain." ”

Tan Ji was stunned for a moment, and climbed over Tongbai Mountain? The north side of Tongbai Mountain is the territory of Houling, what is the matter? So he asked unceremoniously: "It's not that the subordinates are hypocritical, if Huaihou can't make it clear that his subordinates can't do anything." ”

This is the stinky problem that comes out of the two courts, and there is respect for Shangguan, but as long as it is unclear, it is common to question it on the spot.

"After this stop, Yu Qingwu has already done a thorough defense, the attention of the defenders of Nanyang is all on Xiangyang, I have asked the Ming Jian Division to investigate, Miyang is empty, we will cross Tongbai Mountain to take Miyang, and then quickly attack Runan, Meng Shuai and Zhou Ce will cooperate with us." Suddenly paused, looked at Tan Ji with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "This is the first time you have questioned my decision, and it is also the last time, and I will ask for the transfer of you again!" ”

Admiration is admiration, temper is temper, Tan Ji raised his head to meet Xuan Song's eyes and said lightly: "Transferring me from Huaihou's power, whether to ask or not is the freedom of my subordinates, and I don't dare to fight this lawsuit even if it is to the subordinates of the Internal Affairs Yuan!" ”

Xuan Song sneered, ignored Tan Ji's disrespect, and continued: "I'll give you enough time to prepare everything, and we'll set off on May 6." ”

After speaking, Xuan Song got up and left directly, he didn't mean to stay at all, it wasn't that he didn't deal with Tan Ji, he had to rush to Xiangyang to see Meng Huan, Meng Huan's identity and status were not comparable to Tan Ji, and he had to talk about something in person.

Xuan Song was a little apprehensive on the way to Xiangyang, and the Mengshi disciples were a little repulsed to him because of Meng Zhao's affairs, although Meng Yan personally proved it for him, it could not eliminate the resentment in the hearts of the Mengshi children, for example, now the Xifu Taishi once said: "I won't kill you for the country!" I can't forgive you for my own sake! It's better not to go back to Chengdu in the future. ”

Meng Huan has a special identity as the younger generation of the second generation of Meng's children, he studied civil and military affairs with Taiwei in his early years, and went to the battlefield in his teens, and now he is called the second generation of generals in Xifu with them, but in fact, Meng Huan's status in the first generation of generals is not low.

When Xuansong and his entourage arrived in Xiangyang City, Meng Huan took the initiative to greet them, and said with a smile on his face: "Why does Huaihou have time to come to me?" ”

Xuan Song saluted respectfully and said, "King Xiangjun, there will be important matters to discuss with you in the end, and please discuss it in detail in the secret room." ”

Meng Huan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned to the guards and said: "Go, prepare some good food for this king, I haven't seen Huaihou for a long time, I want to catch up with the old days!" ”

After the two joined hands and entered the study, Meng Huan said in a calm voice: "Say, if there is something important, you still come to me, we don't have anything old to talk about, let's talk about it directly." ”

"King Jun, I want to ask you for help to contain the old army of Nanyang and Xiangyang, and at the end of the year, I will cross Tongbai Mountain and take Runan." Xuan Song didn't say hello either, and said directly.

Meng Huan didn't answer immediately, he walked straight to the bookcase and studied the topographical map, and asked while pointing, "Are you sure that the battle will be resolved quickly?" Climbing over Tongbai Mountain is not an easy task in itself. ”

"If you don't have faith, the last general won't run to ask the county king for help." Xuan Song is full of confidence.

"Since you have confidence, I won't ask much, and you don't need to say, give me a signal when you do it, and this king also plans to re-enter Xinye."

"The last general, thank you for your help!" Xuan Song didn't expect to get Meng Huan's approval so easily.

Meng Huan shook his head and said: "This king is not here to help you, we don't care about our personal affairs, we all belong to the rule of Xifu, naturally we must focus on the overall situation, you can save face in Xifu, and I can't lag behind as the deputy commander of the white-clothed army, right?" ”

After the two made a plan, Xuan Song hurriedly ate a meal and then took people away, and with Meng Huan's consent, it was half the success to take Runan, and the following thing was executed, on the way back, he had been thinking about who would stay after taking Tongbai and Miyang, Luo Chen's side would definitely fight back desperately, which was the key to the battle of Runan.

Xuan Song is not the only one who is worried, Zhou Ce is also worried in Huangchuan, he is worried not for anything else, just because the county lord is the commander of Huangchuan Mingjian, if this girl is not the daughter of the prince, according to Zhou Ce's temperament, she would have beaten her with fifty military sticks.

As the county lord of Yongwangfu, she doesn't know it, and she swaggers around the market all day long, for fear that people won't know her identity, but even if she is not, she has done a good job in the duties and past information of the Ming Jian Division, which is the only reason why Zhou Ce has been able to tolerate her so far.

There are only two county lords in Xifu, Lu Wanyu, the county lord of Changsha, is gentle and elegant, everyone is beautiful, and she is a talented woman who is famous all over the world, and Meng Wanshu is also famous, but she is notorious.

"Commander Zhou, the lord of this county asks for an order to go to Xicheng tomorrow to investigate." Meng Wanshu crossed her legs and said without any image.

"No way!" Zhou Ce simply and rudely refused, this is unreasonable, what kind of place is Xicheng, one-third of Yu Qingwu's elite are stationed in Xicheng.

"My subordinate is the guard captain of the Mingjian Division of Huangchuan Mansion, and it is my duty to investigate military intelligence, does Commander Zhou want to interfere with the affairs of the Mingjian Division?" Meng Wanshu put the particularity of the position and the Ming Jian Division out to threaten Zhou Ce.

Zhou Ce glanced at her contemptuously and said: "Four years ago, King Yong ordered that the commander of the government and the chief officials above the county guard had objections to the local Mingjian Division, and they could be expelled directly, and the intelligence and spy department was temporarily managed by the Baiyi Temple, and the county lord seemed to have this power." ”

Meng Wanshu was speechless for a while, power and status, plus her own identity couldn't suppress Zhou Ce, this matter could only be begged, suddenly changed her posture, looked like a noble girl of the heavenly family, and said softly: "Lord Commander, my subordinates have been working hard day and night since taking over the Huangchuan Mingjian Division, and they dare not slack off, and now Huaibin Hou invited me to Huangchuan Mansion as a response, the matter of intelligence is particularly important, and please ask the commander to think about it again?" ”

After half a cup of tea, he switched between two faces, Zhou Ce rolled his eyes, and said coldly: "County Lord, please go back!" "Simply and unmoved.

Where did Meng Wanshu meet such a person who didn't eat oil and salt, she was suspecting that the mother concubine asked her to come to Huangchuan because Zhou Ce didn't scruple about herself at all, hard, soft, they all came again, but she didn't get the result she wanted, and Meng Wanshu left angrily.

Zhou Ce watched her leave the back, breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and finally sent away this difficult county lord, drank all the tea on the table and began to study the topographic map, Xuan Song's neuropathy was just a sentence to respond to him to take Runan, how to respond but did not say, this is to give him a problem, when he was pondering, a farmer-like person walked in softly, and said in a ghostly voice: "The subordinate white-clothed ancestral hall Huangchuan Mansion Baishi has a secret letter to report." ”

Zhou Ce didn't look up, but just stretched out his hand to signal him to take the letter and said, "Stand down." ”

The people in the Baiyi Temple are too mysterious, they are in all walks of life, no one knows their secret identity, and Zhou Ce is too lazy to understand.

After the man stepped back, Zhou Ce took a look at the seal of the secret letter, it was second-class, fortunately, after opening it, he hurriedly glanced at it and smiled, this Yu Qingwu gave himself a big gift, which just solved the matter of not knowing how to respond.
