Chapter 356: All Beings Are Chess
The main battalion in the army, the deputy general looked embarrassed, "General, I counted the number of people and found that the cavalry of the Ming Kingdom was only a few hundred. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Well, this is normal, what Ming Guo wants to launch is a surprise attack, not a large-scale attack, so to speak, it is just a temptation. ”
Xue Yanhua rubbed his temples, the army of the Ming Kingdom has always been a big stone pressing on his heart, if the Tian Yuan Empire wants to win this battle, whether the Eastern Front can win in the face of the Ming Kingdom is the key factor in victory.
And the Ming State seems to be impatient to send cavalry, but it is said that the spies sent to report that the Ming army has no signs of preparing for war at all, and even the sentry is only symbolically sending a team to patrol!
"But......" The deputy general looked at Xue Yanhua, wanted to speak and stopped, thought about it and felt that it was impossible, but it was true, with his ability, he really didn't want to understand.
Say. Xue Yanhua didn't raise his head, and continued to think about the war that would eventually happen in the future, thinking that with so few troops in his hand, how could he get the emperor to send troops over for reinforcements, but it was even more difficult!
The war on the southern front in the west is also tight, and if you want to transfer Lin Yun's troops, you don't have to think about it!
It's really a headache, and the appearance of the adjutant general who wants to speak and stops making him even more irritable, "If you have something to say, this is not a place for civil intrigue and intrigue, in the army, you use military merit to speak, and similarly, you won't kill really talented people because of one or two sentences!" Xue Yanhua's words made the deputy general shrink his neck, and he reported in detail what sounded impossible.
"The hundreds of cavalry sent by the Ming Kingdom, after inquiry, found that ...... I found that almost all of them were recruits who had just joined the army for a month or two, and some had even just learned to ride for a day or two, but didn't raids generally require veterans who were experienced and brave and good at fighting? Isn't sending recruits to death?" The adjutant general hesitated to express his judgment, and these recruits, who did not have much experience, actually dared to go deep into the encirclement to carry out a surprise attack?
Recruits, hundreds, and the newly rising Wang Xun leader?
Clues hovered in Xue Yanhua's mind, gradually becoming clear, connected into a line, pointing to the truth!
The general of the Ming Kingdom should not be an idle person, at least he has two brushes, but he sent troops to raid so recklessly, and he is a new soldier, and he is Wang Xun, who has been in the limelight recently.
The loss of hundreds of recruits, for the Ming army, the loss is almost negligible, or even harmless at all, and Wang Xun, who is in the limelight, will not tolerate that there is an unknown junior general in his military camp, whose reputation is chasing after him.
The reason why Wang Xun was allowed to lead troops to raid and stuff him with such useless recruits was because he wanted to get rid of Wang Xun with the hands of the Tian Yuan Empire.
Because, from beginning to end, the generals of the Ming Kingdom were ready to sacrifice this cavalry, but why?
Why?
Xue Yanhua got up and kept walking around the camp, walking around, and there were three words circling in his heart, why!
Why did the Ming State come out to send a cavalry to death after the crushing defeat of the Zhou State? Why did it happen at such a critical moment?
"What do you think?" Xue Yanhua turned his gaze back to his subordinates, and the deputy general shook his head with a blank expression, "The last general doesn't know why, it's really strange." ”
Xue Yanhua waved his hand, his voice was a little tired, "Forget it, you quickly send a secret letter to the emperor to report the strange situation tonight, remember, this matter cannot be spread." ”
A keen intuition told Xue Yanhua that this matter would never be so simple.
"Yes. The deputy general ordered him to retreat, although he felt inexplicable in his heart, why did he need to keep it secret, wouldn't it make Ming Guo lose face even more?
Forget it, the adjutant general shook his head, felt a little pain in his head, stopped thinking, and asked the accompanying master to write a letter, instructing him not to leak the news, and threatened a few soldiers who knew about it, these soldiers were all veterans, and they all said with a determined and blank face that they would never tell the second person.
The letter was quickly delivered to Lin Xu, and when Liu Yuanfeng went to see Lin Xu, he was also at a loss.
Even a layman like him who only knows cultivation can see that this situation is completely unreasonable, but Xue Yanhua has no reason to cheat on this kind of thing, besides, if it is presented to destroy a pair of elite cavalry of the enemy, for Xue Yanhua, it is another glorious feat!
At this time, Lin Xuan rubbed his temples and was also very helpless, he just went to gather the ministers to discuss the war, these Wenchen, who had never been on the battlefield, were gossipy and full of morality, but they didn't get to the point, and their imagination was even more wild, what Xing Jian Si also said that His Majesty is the true son of heaven, this battle must be won without fighting, and the national fortune of the Tianyuan Empire is prosperous.
When Lin Xuan heard this, he almost wanted someone to drag this person out and behead him, and now he asked you to come over to discuss countermeasures, not to listen to your empty words!
If there really is such a thing as the so-called national fortune, what is the matter with the hundreds of thousands of good men who died in the Tianyuan Empire? If the Tianyuan Empire's national fortune is prosperous, how can the people be displaced because of the war.
And if the Tian Yuan Empire is defeated, I am afraid that the entire Dandu will be trampled to the ground under the iron hooves of the Five Kingdoms.
In short, Lin Xuan really wanted a very effective method, instead of a bunch of Wenchen who couldn't be used at a critical time in the end, and finally quarreled!
"Your Majesty. Liu Yuanfeng naturally saw Lin Xu's exhaustion, his voice was lowered as much as possible, and his attitude was even more respectful, "General Xue sent good news, saying that the Ming army sent a cavalry to raid, but fortunately he was left in the army. ”
In other words, Xue Yanhua's implication is that the Ming State sent a cavalry to come to attack, but he Xue Yanhua defeated the other party instead, and recruited this team of cavalry.
"Well done!" Lin Xuan is now more and more satisfied with Xue Yanhua, to be honest, he was originally asked to lead the troops, but he was only seen because he was from a noble background, and for the purpose of winning over the Xue family, and he also deliberately sent a lot of good generals to Xue Yanhua, nominally because of his favor to Xue Yanhua, in fact, this is to give Xue Yanhua advice and supervise Xue Yanhua at the same time, after all, the southern and eastern fronts are very important, and there must be no problems in Xue Yanhua's hands, otherwise the current Tianyuan Empire will fall!
The previous battle of Bowang City made Lin Xuan impressed, but now he is not proud and not slack, which makes Lin Xu look at Xue Yanhua even more.
It's just that Lin Xuan is a little puzzled, the Ming army can't wait to send troops to test, will there be a bigger move?
Yanagihara Feng laughed heartily, smiled and felt that something was wrong, and quickly closed his mouth, only then did he remember the important thing that had just been left behind, "Your Majesty, the last general thinks this matter is a little strange." ”
"Well, indeed, you can tell me. A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Xu's eyes, he didn't expect Liu Yuanfeng to understand the mystery inside so quickly.
"The secret letter received by the last general mentioned that the cavalry of this raid turned out to be just a rabble, almost all of them were newly trained recruits who were driven to the battlefield, and the war horses were also thin and drooping, such cavalry was used for raids, and the last general felt very strange, but why, please ask Your Majesty to explain. ”
It turned out to be like this, Lin Xuan was a little surprised, that is, it shows that the real purpose of the Ming army is not to harass or tempt, but to choose to sacrifice this cavalry, but why did it sacrifice, why did it make such a move?
Lin Xu's inspiration flashed, as if he had thought of something, and captured a trace of inspiration, because Bowang City suffered heavy losses in the first battle of the Zhou Kingdom!
And the king of Zhou will definitely not allow other countries to benefit from fishermen, and will definitely force his ally Ming to quickly send troops to fight with the Tianyuan Empire, and it is best to lose both, so that since it is guaranteed that Ming will not benefit from Zhou's heavy losses, it also gives Zhou a chance to be a fisherman again.
King Zhou, if he is really an old fox, next, he should be forcing the Ming army to fight, and the Ming army is in the territory of Zhou, and the supply of grain and grass is supplied by Zhou State everywhere, so it must depend on the face of King Zhou, but, after the prestige left by Xue Yanhua of the Tianyuan Empire in the first battle of Bowangcheng, Ming Guo is really willing to send troops like this?
In the territory of the Zhou State, the Ming army will never absolutely believe in the Zhou State, in case of urgent need of reinforcements, the Zhou State has made a lot of reasons, that is, they are unwilling to send troops, then their Ming army, these dozens of people, it is very likely that they will be confessed in the territory of the Zhou State.
If this is the case, the Ming army will not only be wiped out, but will also leave a laughing name for the ages!
Due to various considerations, the generals of the Ming army must want to wait for the other three alliance forces to attack at the same time as Dandu, which is the safest way, and the way to hold back the king of Zhou is that they also suffer heavy losses!
So they sent new soldiers, thin horses, but in the end, it will be rumored that their elite was intercepted and killed by the Tian Yuan Empire and suffered heavy losses!
Therefore, the Ming army chose to sacrifice a cavalry to drag down the king of Zhou, such a careful mind made Lin Xuan even more headache, it seems that the leader of the Ming army will definitely not be a person who is easy to deal with! This kind of person may be more terrible than He Xusheng of the Zhou State!
Lin Xu, who had figured out all the ins and outs, shook his head, "You don't have to know this, the news that this cavalry is a recruit doesn't need to be spread, just publicize it to the outside world, our Tianyuan Empire, intercepted and killed an elite cavalry of the Ming army." ”
"This?" Liu Yuanfeng was puzzled, but out of fear and respect for Lin Xu, he still went down and did so, "Yes." ”
Tonight happened to be a lunar eclipse, and the entire moon was slowly obscured by darkness, and the chief of the Star Supervisor not far away was taken aback, with a frightened look on his face, looking at the glorious main hall standing tall, boundless fear, and finally turned into a sigh.
This is...... A great omen.
