Chapter 262: Great Unification and Great Victory (5)
The heavy snow did not stop because the war was imminent, but crossed the river, the snowflakes in Changsha fell on Gu Qingfeng's shoulders, and the eldest grandson Qingqing, who came from Chengdu, tiptoed close to Gu Qingfeng with his hands in his arms.
Just about to scare Gu Qingfeng, he heard Gu Qingfeng say quietly: "Qingqing, if you want to be scary, don't bring a sachet." ”
The eldest grandson Qingqing pouted, and the youngest daughter said in a posture: "Uncle is always like this, so boring." ”
The eldest grandson Qingqing already knows her life experience, and the warmth and teaching of Meng Wanyu and Gu Qingfeng have been accepted, and she also understands what her father means, after all, she retains the bloodline of the eldest grandson and the Mengshi clan, and it is always better to stay with her uncle than to be more stable by the side of the eldest grandson.
The eldest grandson Qingqing tied a big coat for Gu Qingfeng, Gu Qingfeng turned around and blew her nose and said, "You! I heard that you and Allure have offended all the nobles of Chengdu? This is an escape, right? ”
"Where? Those noble sons were too arrogant in the two houses, and always said that women were not as good as men, and I beat them up without looking at it. "The eldest grandson Qingqing made no secret of what he had done.
"Girl, there's no way! Since ancient times, it has been a man who is outside and a woman is in charge, if it is not for your uncle's insistence over the years, it is impossible for a woman to learn to be an official, and this concept is not an overnight thing. ”
"Uncle, uncle is planting a flag in the room again, don't you go to see it?"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head, stroked the eldest grandson Qingqingzhen and said lovingly: "The big war is coming, your uncle is deducing the various possibilities of the front-line war, don't disturb him, you can't be idle, my aunt has been in poor health recently, you can sort out those documents, you should use them after studying with your sister Wanyu for so long." ”
Eldest Sun Qingqing nodded, suddenly remembered something and said, "Uncle, where did the outstanding person who escorted us over this time go?" ”
"Excellence is with your uncle at General Long's side, what's wrong?" Gu Qingfeng seemed to see something, the girl was pregnant, but they were not big and it was wartime, and some things were temporarily slow.
"No, just ask." The eldest grandson, Qingqing, was shy.
After sending the eldest grandson Qingqing, Gu Qingfeng saw that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, so he asked the kitchen to prepare some soup for Meng Yan and served it in person.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Meng Yan looking at the sand table with a bitter face, Gu Qingfeng didn't know when he came in, Gu Qingfeng saw all kinds of flags on the sand table, and he could roughly see the tragic situation of the decisive battle of Dingyuan in the Xuan Army.
"Shichiro, will you lose so much?" Gu Qingfeng was surprised, she knew that this battle would be difficult, but she didn't expect it to be so miserable.
"Alas, I have been here since last night, Xuan Song is using himself as a bait to lure the East China Sea people into the trap set by the joint army, if Yu Qingwu and Changsun Ji cooperate, it's okay, if they don't cooperate, I'm really worried that they will go and never return."
"Yu Qingwu and Eldest Sun Ji are both considered famous generals in the world, they won't sit idly by, right?"
"Hmph, Eldest Sun Ji won't sit idly by, but it's hard to say about Yu Qingwu and Xiao Ye."
Gu Qingfeng was stupid, in her heart, Sun Ji was stubborn, but Yu Qingwu would give full support for the overall situation, but listening to Meng Yan's words, maybe she was wrong.
"I still know Yu Qingwu, he was my old subordinate back then, when he and Teng Han left Baoqing, it was because they didn't agree with my concept of governing the army, he thought that he was ruthless and ruthless for the generals, so he wouldn't rescue before the war in Dingyuan, he would definitely wait until we and the people of the East China Sea were tired before making a move."
"Then we can't sit still!"
"So! Jin Fu's soldiers and horses in Linhuai Pass not only have to contain the East China Sea division on the Huaishui but also give timely support, at the same time I have ordered Lu Ping to send troops into Dongyang, Lu Ping just sent Di Xin out, with Di Xin's ability at least to make the East China Sea people afraid when attacking, but in the end it depends on whether Xuan Song can be willing to give up Sizhou. ”
"Abandon Sizhou? Why? Not to mention the importance of Li Chengcang, wouldn't we go directly into the mouths of the people of the East China Sea if we abandon Sizhou? Gu Qingfeng was puzzled.
"The strategic significance of Sizhou has been reached, Xuansong at this time it is most appropriate to abandon the retreat to Dingyuan and Zhuge Chen to join forces, Dingyuan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is no problem to insist on a month with Xuansong's ability."
Gu Qingfeng looked at the deduction on the sand table, and suddenly realized: "Qilang, what you are worried about is not that Xuan Songshe is reluctant to give up Sizhou, but the problem of grain and grass, right?" ”
"Almost, Xuan Song doesn't have Zhuo Gong's ability, if it is Zhuo Gong, before the start of the war, all the grain and grass equipment in Licheng Cang and people have been pulled to Dingyuan, yesterday the war started, and the military newspaper came to see that Sizhou City is still in our hands."
The two couples began to hold their chins again.
The embarrassment of Meng Yan and his wife is also the embarrassment of Xuan Song, he originally thought that after the start of the war, he would be able to echo each other with Zhuge Chen in Dingyuan, but things did not seem to develop according to his ideas, the people of the East China Sea have cut off the connection between Dingyuan and Sizhou since yesterday, and the East China Sea division on Zehu Lake also went ashore this morning and began to unite infantry and puppet troops to attack Sizhou indiscriminately.
"Xuan Shuai, it's not a way to go on like this, the reinforcements of the East China Sea people are endless, and our side has been decreasing in addition to grain, grass and ordnance, I am worried that if it goes on like this, it won't be able to hold it for ten days!" Matsuyu wiped the blood on his face and said with a murderous expression, this is the thirteenth time since the start of the battle yesterday that he has repelled the enemy troops outside the city.
Xuan Song's breastplate was also cut by a sharp blade, Song Yu did not exaggerate, all that he said was the truth, and he now regretted very much that he did not evacuate Sizhou before the war.
"Songyu, how many of us are there now?"
"Coupled with the soldiers and horses that supported some time ago, there are only 4,000 people who can fight now, and this is still the battle report in the afternoon, and the statistics just now have not been counted."
Xuan Song slammed the table and said, "Retreat, retreat tonight, let's go to Suzhou first, and then turn to Fengyang and turn to Dingyuan!" ”
Song Yu glanced at the geographical map and wondered: "Why do you want to take a detour, wouldn't it be better for us to retreat to Linhuai Pass and join General Jin?" ”
Xuan Song shook his head and explained: "Yu Qingwu can't send troops if he dies, we can't make it difficult for our brothers, Suzhou has Yu Qingwu's heavy troops, if he doesn't send troops, let's force him to send troops!" ”
Songyu suddenly laughed and said, "Xuan Shuai! Good strategy! This damn Yu Qingwu is an iron king, and he won't show his head when he dies! ”
"Yu Qingwu is very cautious in fighting, and he is a hard bone, the heroic commander was defeated by him because he couldn't bear it, and now he wants us to fight to the death with the people of the East China Sea, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman."
"Want to be a fisherman? No way, let's go around Suzhou and don't believe that he won't come out, we have few people, run fast, Suzhou is such a big city can't run! Matsuyu's face was ruthless, he had killed red eyes these days.
On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, the fourth day of the war, Yu Qingwu looked at the military newspaper in Feng County, and Xiao Ye on the side asked tentatively: "General Yu, but what's wrong?" ”
"Xuan Song is cunning, he suddenly gave up Sizhou yesterday night, and burned Li Chengcang and ran away!" Yu Qingwu's face was angry.
"Xuan Song ran away?!" Xiao Ye couldn't believe it, Xuanjun endured hard fighting, and as the deputy marshal of the Jiangdong Theater, he actually ran, incredible, he took the military report and understood it.
Xiao Ye could see that Xuansong's retreat was right, Yu Qingwu had been reluctant to send troops to support, resulting in Xuansong's hopeless retreat to the south, Sizhou is now like a chicken rib, Xuansong can cut off his tail in time It is a wise choice, Yu Qingwu's anger should be that Xuansong did not go to Linhuai Pass to find Jin Fu, but led the war to Suzhou.
Xiao Ye actually didn't look down on Yu Qingwu's behavior of guarding and not helping, people had already led the Donghai people into the encirclement, everything that could be done was done, it was right to consume the strength of the Xuan Army, but it was a bit too much to let the family lose everything, but after all, it was his own family, and he still had to think about himself, and Suzhou could not afford to lose.
"General, Suzhou cannot afford to be lost, once Suzhou is lost, the sky net surrounding the people of the East China Sea will leak, and it will also threaten the line of Xuzhou, Qiaojun and Yingzhou, which must not happen."
Yu Qingwu's teeth itched with hatred, but he couldn't watch the city of Suzhou broken, and said with a sigh: "Your Highness, Guyang has 30,000 of my reserve army to rush to the aid of Suzhou!" ”
"Then ask the general to arrange the troops."
The main force was led by Changsun Ji to aid Dingyuan from Feng County, while Yu Qingwu led the troops to Jiepai and Langya to cut off the reinforcements of the East China Sea, encircling the 60,000 East Navy and 130,000 puppet troops within a radius of 30 miles with Dingyuan as the center.
At the same time, the combined forces of Suzhou and Fengyang began to divide and encircle the Eastern Navy, which was deep in the territory, and the Xuansong Division, which had originally planned to return to Dingyuan, suddenly turned to Linhuai Pass when it was about to arrive in Fengyang, and immediately marched in the direction of Jingzhou after replenishing the source of troops.
"His grandmother's! If it weren't for Xuan Shuai forcing Yu Qingwu to send troops, we would all have to explain here! Zhuge Chen scolded.
Fang Keming licked his dry lips and said with a wry smile: "It's miserable enough, your hall master will all risk the arrows and stones, even I, a scholar, have raised a knife, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief, I want to scold and wait until I eat this big dumpling!" ”
"Fang Shen, how long will Eldest Sun Ji be away from us?" Zhuge Chen loosened his shoulders and asked, Fang Keming is right, the soldiers in Dingyuan City have reached the limit.
"Tomorrow, Changsun Ji's advance speed is very slow, we have to hold on at least until the day after tomorrow, the people of the East China Sea are now trapped beasts, and they are fighting back very hard, they want to take Dingyuan and hold on to help, so the burden on our shoulders is still very heavy."
"I don't know what's going on over there Xuan Shuai, after this battle, Lao Tzu doesn't want to stay here anymore, it's too uncomfortable to have no own people behind!"
"Xuan Shuai and General Jin converged at Linhuai Pass to replenish the source of troops, and the people from the White Clothes Temple came over and said that Xuan Shuai had already marched to Jingzhou, Jingzhou and Langya are the last passes, as long as these two doors are closed, these miscellaneous people will not be able to escape!" Fang Keming and Zhuge Chen have stayed for a long time, and they have also been contaminated with the habits of the army.
On the night of the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the forward army of Changsun Ji finally attacked the city of Dingyuan, at this time Zhuge Chen was already suffering from more than ten wounds, and Fang Keming could not get up because of the old illness that fell on the right side of the river.
That night, the Ning army took over the defense of Dingyuan, and at the beginning of the year, Changsun Ji arrived in Dingyuan, Zhuge Chen greeted him with a miserable smile and said: "General Changsun, we live up to our mission in Dingyuan!" ”
The eldest grandson Ji looked at the wounded Xuanjun embarrassedly, and said: "It's hard work, the decisive battle is tomorrow, and it will definitely live up to the trust of the Xuanjun soldiers!" ”
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, all the pockets were sealed, and the puppet army of the Eastern Navy and its servants were all forced to the Sanjie Town in the east of Dingyuan City, and Changsun Ji announced the launch of a general attack until the evening of the 27th, and the enemy army was completely annihilated.
On the 28th of the lunar month, the enemy troops scattered in Suzhou, Jingzhou, Langya and other places were also gathered and annihilated, until the afternoon of the 29th of the lunar month, the battle of Dingyuan was all over, and the history was called "the great victory of Dingyuan".
