Chapter 289: The Great Unification: The Decisive Battle of the South (2)
"Huh! This Gu Ning is terrible, and he is a 'living Hades King' comparable to Zheng Xi, His Majesty put the two of them together, and this must not be killed! Shen Yu said with a twitch on his face.
"Xiao Shen, the old man remembers that you are from the southwest, what do you think of their methods?" Yu Geng asked.
"Yu Hu Shuai, Gu Ning's plan is no problem, I know that Weiyang Town, the north gate of Taixi, is facing Taixi, and the people of the East China Sea are also smart, they put the camp and grain and grass in Weiyang Town, they can attack and retreat, but they are unlucky to meet a madman like Gu Ning, Gu Ning is very cunning!"
"Oh? That is, there is an objection to Zheng Xi's plan? Yu Geng asked with an eyebrow.
Shen Yu was stunned, he looked at the plan, but he forgot that Zheng Xi was Yu Geng's old subordinate, and questioning Zheng Xi was questioning Yu Geng to some extent.
Shen Yu hurriedly got up and said: "Hu Shuai, Mr. Zheng's plan is too risky, Nan'an City is the meat on the board at a glance, at this time, Mr. Zheng will put the location of the decisive battle of the army in Nan'an City, is it inappropriate, this is a hard fight!" ”
"Tan Ji, you can talk about it too! What is the old fiddling with the geographical map of mountains and rivers! Yu Geng said with a frown.
When Tan Ji heard Yu Geng call him, he reluctantly raised his head to look at the past and said, "Hu Shuai, I'm wondering why Mr. Zheng arranged it this way, but I haven't thought too clearly, can you wait a minute?" ”
Yu Geng shrugged his shoulders and no longer paid attention to Tan Ji, this guy became more and more distracted, his face always looked gloomy, and the people in the army were a little afraid of him.
Yu Geng looked at Huo Youji who was sitting in the shadows again, this guy has been dodging like this since he was transferred back from the northwest, and the princess of Changsha came to see him like this, which made the husband and wife very unhappy, and even His Majesty in Changsha sent someone to ask, Huo Youji just didn't say a word.
"General Staff Huo!" Yu Geng shouted at him, Huo Youji didn't react at all, and Huan Gu, who was sitting next to him, pulled Huo Youji's sleeve.
Huo Youji looked up at Huan Gu violently, only to see Huan Gu give him a look, Huo Youji reacted, hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Hu Shuai, what do you have to arrange?" Do you want to send troops? ”
Yu Geng snorted a wave of disdain from his nose, looked at Huo Youzhi with an untalented look, and said: "Huo Youji, you are the deputy general staff officer of the General Bureau, what kind of style do you do all day long!" ”
Huo Youji was embarrassed, after being called back from the Northwest Bureau, there was only the White Ape Brigade left around him to command, and it seemed that he was in a high position, but in fact he had no power at all, and he didn't even have Shen Yu's authority in the General Bureau, not to mention Yu Geng's suppression of himself, he understood that Yu Geng was suppressing him with a holy decree.
He was full of confidence when he participated in the "flame", but what he didn't expect was that King Qin would directly betray them, King Su was transferred back to Chengdu, and Yingshuai was also transferred out of the General Bureau.
"My subordinates have been unwell recently, and they are always a little flustered, so please don't blame the tiger handsome." Huo You said insincerely.
Yu Geng didn't want to embarrass him too much, so he didn't pursue it further, but asked, "Have you read the two military strategies of the Southwest Bureau?" ”
"I've seen it below, there is no problem with General Staff Gu's military strategy, well, although Mr. Zheng's approach is a bit risky, it is worth a try."
"General Counselor Huo, what do you say?" Tan Ji grabbed the words, and then found out that he had exceeded the rules, and hurriedly apologized to Yu Geng.
Yu Geng waved his hand and said, "Huo Youji, you can talk about it." ”
"Nan'an City is low-lying, there is no danger to defend, but there is one point, there is a high ridge in the northwest of Nan'an City, I have seen Zheng Zong's military strategy, he is stationed in Gaoling with 50,000 people led by Du Zong, as long as the Taixi people and Zhu Mu are all attracted to the past, Du Zong's army can be combined with Zheng Zong, in fact, in essence, it is similar to the method of General Staff Gu." Huo Youji's attention was very focused this time.
"How can Zhu Mu's family not want to come out of the nest? General Staff Huo didn't know that Zhu Mushi was very familiar with Zhaonan. Tan Ji asked.
"Mr. Tan, Zhu Mu's clan is too familiar with the terrain of Zhaonan, so they will definitely take the bait."
"Oh? General Staff Huo is so sure? This time it was Shen Yu's turn to ask.
"Zhu Mu's is very familiar with the terrain of Zhaonan, so they will think that Nan'an City is a piece of fat more than the Taixi people, but this Nan'an City is one of the only ways to enter the six counties of Dali, and the people of the East China Sea have taken a fancy to Nanan, so Zhu Mu's will inevitably die to master Nan'an City, which is the key to their incirclement."
After listening to this, the people present were silent except for Yu Geng, and they couldn't refute Huo Youji's analysis, but they always felt that something was wrong, and they couldn't say it.
"You understand?" Yu Geng saw that everyone stopped talking.
"I agree with Mr. Zheng's military strategy!" Shen Yu was the first to speak.
Huan Gu has always been reluctant to talk more about military affairs, and when he was in the Condor Mansion, he made a mistake because of talking too much, but now he saw that Yu Geng, Huo Youji, and Shen Yu all agreed, so he said decisively: "I agree too!" ”
Yu Geng looked at Tan Ji, who was still in a daze, and asked, "What about Mr. Tan?" Agreed? ”
Tan Ji glanced at the geographical map of mountains and rivers again, and said with determination: "My subordinates agree!" After a pause, he continued: "However, I suggest that only 10,000 soldiers and horses be put in Nan'an City, and all the rest will go to Gaoling, including Zheng Zong himself, and I will write my opinion clearly in the report." ”
The corners of Yu Geng's mouth rose slightly, this Tan Ji is more than cautious in using soldiers, cunning and cunning, he is a soldier, but his fault is that he cherishes himself too much, cherishes his feathers, fortunately, he is not in charge of an army now, as a deputy, his suggestion is reasonable, and it does not hurt to write his opinion in the report.
On the afternoon of the second day, the report of the Jiangxia General Administration arrived in Changsha, and after Meng Yan read it, he handed it over to Gu Yanfeng, who had just returned.
"Zheng Xi and Gu Ning are not going to pass, this battle, the southwest is safe!"
Gu Yanfeng frowned tightly and said, "This is nonsense!" Once there is a link that goes wrong, it will fall into a catastrophe! ”
"Forget it, the General Bureau's side has deduced, and the reasons for their approval and consent are also very sufficient, the people of the East China Sea will definitely die, even if something goes wrong with Zheng Xi's side, Gu Ning can rush over in time, the two of them have a tacit understanding, and the time of the war on both sides is staggered, this is not bad, Yanfeng, don't be too harsh on the child." Meng Yan persuaded and explained, Gu Yanfeng is good at government affairs, and government affairs require a smooth transition, and there are few adventures that open and close, but for military affairs, it is different, and sometimes there must be some unrealistic adventurous spirit.
His Majesty the Emperor has spoken, and Gu Yanfeng can't say anything.
"Your Majesty, the old minister sent out the paperwork, go to the National Security Institute to fly pigeons or explore the horses and military divisions for eight hundred miles?"
Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, this old thing is really amazing, even he didn't expect this, the flying pigeons of the National Security Institute can arrive at the latest the day after tomorrow, but the eight hundred miles of the Tanma Military Division will arrive at the earliest, Gu Yanfeng reminded him that this is to buy time for Zheng Xi and Gu Ning to improve the defense.
Seeing Gu Yanfeng's careful thinking, Meng Yan smiled slightly and said, "Then according to what Zheng Guogong said, the Tanma Military Division will be in a hurry for eight hundred miles." ”
When the Tanma Military Division arrived at Gu Ning's place, Gu Ning was already restless like an ant on a hot pot, he was afraid that the General Administration and His Majesty would not agree with their military strategy, especially after Lan Xiao came to the news of arriving on the outskirts of Weiyang Town.
Seeing the arrival of the Tanma Military Division, he took the letter and immediately summoned the generals to reorganize the army, not for anything else, in order to save Fu Cang, who had been difficult to maintain, although the loss was not much, but he was pressed and beaten every day, and it was not a matter to be beaten all the time.
At the same time as Gu Ning's army set off, Zheng Xi also started his action, he completely rejected Tan Ji's proposal, not only him, but even Du Jun scoffed at Tan Ji's proposal, thinking that Tan Ji was completely afraid of death, and he didn't know that the southwest soldiers and horses were eager to take revenge, and even decided in Du Jun's heart that Tan Ji was a person who only recognized interests and had no human feelings.
"Mr. Du, go ahead, wait for my signal, as long as Nan'an City sends a signal, you will rush down, we must lock them up in Nan'an City, and none of them can be allowed to run!"
"Mr. Zheng, do you really want to do this? You know we'll be sprayed into a sieve by those literati and the imperial historians! Du Jun reminded helplessly.
"Spray, I don't care about fame, don't they all call me 'Living Hades'? Then Lao Tzu should be the Lord of Yama to ask for their lives! ”
Du Jun stopped talking, arched his hand and turned to leave, Zheng Xi was right, brutes, kill them, as for the pen and ink of the literati and the imperial history, there is nothing to care about, they are at the disposal of the cardinal, even if it is to the people's court, they don't care, they believe that the people of the people's house understand their behavior.
On the third day of November, it suddenly snowed in Gaoling, and Du Jun's eyes gradually became cold as he looked at the torches under the mountain and listened to the shouts of killing.
At this moment, Gu Ning's department had already besieged the people of the East China Sea in Yinan City, waiting for Lan Xiao's good news to prepare to launch a final attack on Yinan City.
"Mr. Zheng! Simon can't bear it! This gang of barbarians is quite difficult to fight, we don't have much fire oil brought back from the northwest, did we abandon Ximen? "It was the general from the Northwest Bureau who spoke.
Zheng Xi looked at the fire in the west with an expressionless face, and then said coldly: "Wait for two more days, pile up all the fire oil in Nan'an City, and then you will withdraw to the inner city to send a signal to Mr. Du on Gaoling!" ”
After receiving the military order, everyone retreated like a tide, and Zheng Xi took one last look at the west and got on the horse, following the guards for many years in his eyes with a solemn breath, it seems that this Lord of Yama is about to take his life.
In the early morning of the fourth day of the first month of November, Weiyang Town was full of fires, and Gu Ning announced a military order outside the city of Yinan: "Fu Cang, lead your troops and horses to attack the north gate of the city!" ”
"Order!" Fu Cang hurriedly got on the horse with his subordinates.
Then Gu Ning continued: "The rest of the sons! Together with me, I will comprehensively exterminate the people of the East China Sea, and I only have one military order, that is, don't live your mouth! ”
Until the afternoon of the fourth day of the first month of November, Lan Xiao, who had returned from Weiyang Town, also joined the battle, and the people of the East China Sea had been forced into the inner city, and they could only fight as trapped beasts.
On the fifth day of the first day of November, when the fire oil in Nan'an City was exhausted, a large force of troops rushed down from the high ridge when Zhu Mushi was proud, and slashed and killed Taixi and Zhu Mu, even if they raised their hands to surrender, these people were as fierce as the demons in hell.
At three o'clock on the fifth day of the first month of November, there was not a single living Donghai in the entire city of Yinan, and a total of 60,000 people in the East China Sea were killed in this battle, and none of them survived.
On the sixth day of the first month of November, Gu Ning led his troops and horses to support Nan'an City, joined forces with Zheng Xi's army, and killed 100,000 Taixi and Zhu Mu's allied troops in Nan'an City, and won a great victory!
