Chapter 157: North-South Confrontation: A New Pattern (13)
"Operation Decapitation?!" The three lieutenants who stayed in Fenglin Town were shocked, this kind of combat method had never been done before, although the Xifu soldiers had always not followed the rules, but at least they were all done with clear swords and guns, and this kind of assassination and sneak attack was rarely done even by the Ming Jian Division.
"Three, the commander is still in Jiujiang City, I can't persuade you, but I think you can give it a try." Said the counsellor with a tired face.
The three lieutenants looked puzzled, feeling that Huo Youji was not only a madman, but also a little whimsical, but who made him the commander, he could only obey, and at the same time, the three of them also secretly made up their minds, whether it was successful or not, the impeachment script was to be handed over immediately, and there were three changes in five days, and this situation could not occur in anyone's army.
According to Huo Youji's requirements, the three captains selected 300 good players in the army of nearly 30,000 people, many of whom were students from Bai Ze Martial Academy, which made the three captains feel distressed, these are the backbone of the future, and each of them is a treasure.
However, the group of people who participated in the "decapitation operation" were very excited, the new combat mode, the exciting way of playing, interesting.
Under the leadership of the counselor, three hundred people infiltrated Jiujiang City in five groups while the night was dark, and then hid on the spot, and the Ming Jian Division in the city was also ordered to fully assist, which was an adventurous journey for everyone.
When the appointed time came, Peng Zhiyuan took the lead in launching an attack on Chai Sangkou, Zhong Qian responded decisively, and Peng Zhiyuan's 6,000 people launched three consecutive charges, and finally Peng Zhiyuan left more than 200 corpses to retreat north to Xixin Bridge, just when Zhong Qian was proud, that night Peng Zhiyuan attacked the Chai Sangkou garrison again, and burned the granary of Chai Sangkou, although the loss was not large, but it also made Zhong Qian very embarrassed, so Zhong Qian decided to personally lead the troops to eliminate this partial division that did not know what to do.
At the same time, the three major captains of Fenglin Town did not dare to hesitate and attacked Chaisang City with all their might, and as expected, Chaisang City was taken in less than half a day.
Contrary to Huo Youji's previous strategy, a lieutenant decisively sent someone to Ezhou for help for the sake of insurance, at least letting Yangxin's friendly troops assist him in defending Chaisang City.
The three school captains were not convinced by Huo Youji, and because Mufu Mountain was so far away from here, why should they use two school offices for defense? Is it because Niangniang is in Changsha City? However, the tension of the war is not yet their turn to have more thoughts to denounce.
Zhong Roulan, who was far away outside Chenjing City, almost fainted after getting the news of Jiujiang, she immediately asked people to inform the Yuzhang defenders to go north to support Jiujiang, and at the same time let Tang Yuan send troops to Mufu Mountain to force Xifu to return to the division, she hoped that everything was still in time.
These days, Zhong Roulan has been reluctant to enter Chenjing directly, she is hesitating, first, once she takes Chenjing, Chongqi can no longer live, she is a little unbearable in her heart, and she doesn't want to kill Chong's family; Second, once Chenjing is broken, his hypocritical second brother will have enough reasons to establish a country and ascend the throne, of course, he can also crusade against himself in the name of Chenjing; The third is that Chenjing and Yuzhang are both big cities, but Yuzhang is too dangerous in the north, although Chenjing is good, but it is too peaceful in the south, which is not conducive to the control of various places, and there is already a great controversy about this in the court, her most ideal place is Changsha, but Meng Yan does not give her a chance at all.
Now that everyone is knocking on the door, they can't hesitate, and after taking Chenjing, they will immediately start on Dongyang, take back their fiefdoms, and then move the capital to Qiantang, this is the final decision, immediately let the army be notified after making up their minds, and immediately march into Chenjing, the slogan is "go home for the New Year", which means that the battle in Chenjing must be solved before the New Year.
The order is given, there are three more things to do, ruthlessness is the most important condition for those in power, Zhong Roulan summoned Murong Changfeng over, and said with a sharp look: "Murong, three things, Your Majesty, Chong's family still has a letter to his father, go and do it immediately!" ”
"The battle in Jiujiang?" Murong Changfeng asked.
Zhong Roulan waved her hand and said: "You don't have to worry about it, Tang Yuan and Zhong Qian won't have much of a problem over there, Meng Yan just wants to force me, he did it, let your people tell Zhuo Xun Chenjing that he can withdraw from Lin Cheng after he takes it, as for Hengyang's side, if it is broken, it will be beaten!" ”
Murong Changfeng hesitated for a moment but decided to say it, "Niangniang, there is news from Chengdu, King Yong and Princess Yong are all out of Chengdu, Chengdu is now the second son of King Yong, Meng Jingyi, staying behind, and the five auxiliary ministers are auxiliary ministers. ”
Zhong Roulan frowned, "The two of them are all out, have you found out where they went?" ”
Murong Changfeng said helplessly: "The two left one after another, Gu Qingfeng went to Changsha, but King Yong disappeared in Wuling, what can be determined is that he will definitely not be in Changsha." ”
Zhong Roulan fell into deep thought, the person is not in Changsha, and he disappeared in Wuling, did he go to Jiujiang? No, it was impossible for him to go to Jiujiang, Gu Qingfeng went to Changsha to calm the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Changsha, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Murong, what news has you had recently from the north?" ”
Murong Changfeng was stunned for a moment, quickly searched in his mind, and replied: "Daning's soldiers and horses marched to the front line of Cangzhou and Jizhou, and they couldn't fight; The Xijing side has been developing towards the Western Regions; The Xichuan Zhuge clan kept attacking the Xifu, and the Xifu Metropolitan Governor's Mansion ordered the dispatch of Dongchuan soldiers and horses to support, intending to completely solve the Zhuge clan. ”
I don't understand, I don't understand, where did Meng Yan go? Zhong Roulan let Murong Changfeng out, she wanted to think about it alone, where would Meng Yan, who kept a hand in doing things, be at this time?
Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to be remembered, for example, the current Meng Yan, who hasn't been seen for too long, his son has become a lot burlier, his face is also angular, and he looks like a man, but this kid seems to have inherited Gu Qingfeng's nagging, and he made merciless accusations against his father's behavior, if it weren't for the eleventh eleventh, it would probably be impossible to get by.
"Okay, okay, your father is here for Hanzhong affairs, not for fun." Meng Huan is completely in a posture of mud.
"Uncle Eleven, let's talk about personal affairs regardless of business today, he is my father, and he rode lightly and recklessly to Shangyong, is it child's play." Meng Jingyan didn't mean to let Meng Yan go at all.
"Uh, Seventh Brother, it's true that you didn't do it right." Meng Huan looked thoughtful.
"I said that you still have a concubine, you walk on the front foot, and she runs to Changsha on the back foot, why are you doing?! Still a little bit of parenting? Meng Jingyan became more and more energetic.
Meng Yan's face couldn't hold back at the moment, his face was turned into a pig's liver color, and he was already on the verge of madness, Meng Huan saw this and hurriedly said, "Counselor Meng!" The prince has arrived in Shangyong, and the conquest of Hanzhong is imminent, you have to put official affairs first! ”
Meng Jingyan was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly hugged his fists and said: "Obey the orders of the assistant marshal under the mark!" After speaking, he turned around and left, and glanced at Meng Yan before leaving.
Meng Yan was about to explode, Jing Mu handed him a glass of water to suppress the shock, he drank it all, and then said to Meng Huan: "I'm so angry!" ”
"Seventh brother, be at ease, the child also feels sorry for you." Meng Huan could only try his best to appease.
Meng Yan slowed down for a while, calmed down, and said, "Where are Deng Ang, where are they?" And Zhou Ce, everyone of me has gone to Shangyong City, and they don't come to see me?! ”
The matter that affected the pond fish would not happen in Meng Huan, whether it was Deng Ang or Zhou Ce, they were all waiting to be summoned in their big tents now.
"Seventh brother, they have arrived a long time ago, and I didn't let them come." Meng Huan said with a smile.
This is for Meng Yan to go down the steps, Meng Yan sorted out his emotions and said: "Gather the generals later, let the two of them come over first, and talk about your plan." ”
Meng Huan glanced at Jing Mu, and Jing Mu, who was like a human spirit, hurriedly slipped out and called Deng Ang and Zhou Ce over, and Meng Huan simply told Meng Yan about the matter before the two of them came over.
As soon as the two arrived, Deng Ang was fine, he had been by Meng Yan's side for a while, and he was quite familiar with Meng Yan's temperament, but Zhou Ce was not good, his legs and stomach were spinning, and Meng Wanshu's matter had already made him a warrior in Xifu, even if he was extremely unwilling.
"Deng Ang, I heard that you prefer to take the ramp and take Nanzheng?" Meng Yan asked directly without greetings.
Deng Ang shook his head and hurriedly replied: "Lord Wang, it is more beneficial for our army to send troops, and it is easy to be caught in the middle of Hanyin. ”
"You think I'm on the wrong side?" Meng Yan questioned.
Deng Ang began to get nervous, and he didn't know how to answer, Zhou Ce stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, Luo Chen's soldiers and horses in the Hanzhong zone are mainly distributed in the vicinity of Nanzheng, Hanyin and Lantian, Hanzhong is the place where the Yang family has been operating for many years, Lantian's troop deployment is to deal with Xijing, and the troops of Nanzheng and Hanyin are completely facing us, so the last general thinks that it is not easy to take the Bao ramp road or the Han River waterway. ”
After Meng Yan listened, he looked directly at Zhou Ce, half a cup of tea, the whole big tent was full of pressure, not Meng Yan performed Jiuchen Gong, but from the domineering of the superiors, suddenly Meng Yan smiled, broke the tense atmosphere, and said: "What you kid said is good, but he is also a muddy person, how to fight is still inconclusive." ”
"If we can cut off the connection between Nan Zheng and Hanyin, we won't suffer too much no matter which way we go." Meng Huan said thoughtfully.
Meng Yan stood up and pointed on the map, and finally put his right hand on Xixiang, and said: "The key to the battle of Hanzhong is not in Nanzheng and Hanyin, but in Xixiang, if the Yang clan is smart enough, Xixiang must be their grain and grass camp and transit place." ”
Everyone followed Meng Yan's fingers, looked at it in detail for a while, and Zhou Ce took the lead and said: "Indeed, Xixiang is on the waterway of the Han River, and it is backed by Ziwu Mountain, which is a wonderful place, and it is not conspicuous. ”
"Yes, this place is stuck like a fish bone, why didn't I find it?" Meng Huan muttered.
"Jing Mu, go and call Mo Geng from the Mingjian Division, he has lived too nourishing in the past few years." Meng Yan immediately had an idea.
Mo Geng was still in Jingshan to study the affairs of Nanyang and Luochen, but he was caught by a token to Shangyong, and he was uneasy along the way, and the prince didn't know when he arrived at Shangyong, and it seems that the prince's goal is not in Nanyang at all, and the intelligence of Hanzhong has not been very good over the years, one is the deep-rooted influence of the Yang family in Hanzhong, and the other is that the people in Hanzhong have always been xenophobic, and it is difficult for the people they sent to integrate into it.
"Mo Geng, is there any information about Saigo?" Meng Huan didn't want to offend the people of the Ming Jian Division near the big battle, so he hurriedly asked before Meng Yan got angry.
Mo Geng glanced at Meng Yan, who was pale, and then gave Meng Huan a grateful look and said: "Xixiang is the grain road in Hanzhong, with convenient water and land transportation, and it has always been the granary of the Yang family. ”
"How many defenders? Who's stationing? Are there any other secret passages to get to Saigo? Meng Yan asked three times in a row.
Mo Geng immediately knelt down and was silent, he couldn't answer any of these three questions.
Meng Yan frowned, and said coldly: "You know the rules, go and get the punishment yourself, give you three days, and give me three days to find out all the situations in Xixiang." ”
Mo Geng's sweat was like rain, and he promised to quit.
