"Luo Yang has led his troops south, and he has broken through Suzhou." Fang Jue handed the letter to Ye Xuanfeng.

Ye Xuanfeng took it and was shocked after seeing it: "Why is it so fast?" ”

"Suzhou is in the south of Liangzhou, Luoyang has conquered Suzhou, why is there no news from Liangzhou?"

Fang Jue smiled: "Naturally, He An is slow to pass on the news, but it should be here today." ”

"Liangzhou didn't warn the surroundings, and He An must have deliberately relaxed the defense line and let Luoyang go south...... When the defenders of Suzhou knew nothing, they were attacked from behind, and naturally they had no chance of winning. ”

"Around Suzhou, there are ...... Ganzhou, Datong, and Lizhou"

"Lizhou?"

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Persimmon should also be soft, within the three states, the city wall of Lizhou is not high, and the troops are not too strong, so they naturally become targets.

"Ganzhou and Datong have strong troops, as long as they rush to help, they should be fine." Dianichi said.

"No, you can't." Ye Xuanfeng was shocked.

Dianichi was puzzled.

Fang Jue also realized: "Luo Yang is a famous general in the world, I am afraid that there is more than one Lizhou ......"

"Ganzhou and Datong, if he takes one at will, he can form a line with Liangzhou and Suzhou, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack...... It will be too difficult to recover it in the future. ”

"But if you don't support ......," Fang Jue shook his head.

Ye Xuanfeng also sighed: "Lizhou has been captured, and Luo Yang can lead the army to continue south...... Or completely turn Liangzhou into a lonely city, and enter the land of Qilu after taking Liangzhou...... The losses are even more terrible. ”

Fang Jue also said: "Ganzhou and Datong have to rush to help. ”

Dian repeatedly did not understand the art of war, but also understood: "Siege and reinforcement? ”

The art of war has existed since ancient times, and it has long been played with now.

Although no one has written "The Art of War", there are other art of war strategies handed down, Luo Yang is the third general in the world, and it is impossible that his brain is not as good as Dianyi.

"How do you resolve that?" Noiichi thought it was a little interesting.

The art of war is more interesting than court conspiracy.

Ye Xuanfeng shook his head: "I can only look at Zhou Desheng in Ganzhou and Zhao Guangming in Datong Mansion, whether they are smart enough." ”

At this time of the battle, the Liangzhou side couldn't hold it back, and Suzhou must have sent someone to notify the Quartet before breaking the city.

Therefore, Ganzhou, Lizhou and Datong all have the opportunity to be fully prepared.

But for them, the choice is a big question.

The defense line formed by the three states, Lizhou is a flaw, and everyone in the military knows it, after all, the city wall of Lizhou is too low.

There is no need for a ladder and no natural hazards.

"In this situation, there is a high probability that Liangzhou will lose, but we can't let Beiliang threaten Qilu."

That is the granary of Great Xia, the Qilu that can compete with the land south of the Yangtze River.

There is no room for error.

"Young Master, maybe this time, it will turn into a national war." Ye Xuanfeng said worriedly.

This is the reason why the Yulin Army was sent first.

Because of this war, it will expand if you are not careful, and when the northern soldiers and horses are consumed, you will need to replenish the Yulin army.

Fang Jue sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't have time, my musket has not yet been mass-produced, otherwise I would have taught Na Luo Yang to know that it is powerful." ”

The Musket Bureau had just been opened, and in less than a month, it was impossible to produce much.

There were also many unqualified defective products, and even with the senior craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, less than a hundred muskets were made in such a short time.

It is completely useless and cannot affect the direction of the battle.

"That's no way, this is the battlefield, it's changing rapidly." Ye Xuanfeng laughed.

War waits for no one, it is imminent, and it will not be attacked because Fang Jue is ready.

"However, some special ammunition can come in handy...... You don't even need to bring finished products, bring raw materials safely, and then configure them when you go to the place...... Siege or facing an enemy can do wonders. Fang Jue was a little regretful.

Ye Xuanfeng squinted and said: "The Yulin Army has not set off yet, I can report to Your Majesty, and the young master can go along." ”

It's all a thousand-year-old fox, what are you talking to me about fasting?

When I mention this to my face, doesn't that mean it?

Fang Jue coughed: "I have no name in the military, so it's not easy to participate." ”

"Your Majesty is short of a trustworthy prison guard." Ye Xuanfeng said with a smile.

"Overseers?"

Fang Jue nodded slowly, now his identity is really suitable to be a prison army.

"Maybe you can bring some muskets and test them out." Fang Jue said.

……

Jinling Xishan Camp.

The 60,000 Yulin army is ready to go.

Among them, 8,000 cavalrymen, already with one man and two horses, were fully prepared.

The rest of the soldiers and horses then marched slowly.

Hubu Yan Lanfeng came to the scene in person, bringing grain, grass and cotton clothes.

"Yan Shangshu." Lin Bei greeted him in person and was overjoyed.

Yan Lanfeng's face was slightly bitter, the quick money he had earned in the past few months had all been put into it all at once.

Even the household department has to make up for it.

"It's late autumn, and it's cold in the north, so I'm afraid that this battle will drag on until the beginning of spring, and one person should bring a cotton coat."

Yan Lanfeng said: "Grain and grass for the rear army, the vanguard cavalry battalion supplies along the way, and the household department has ordered the military posts along the way to replenish the grain and grass, and Commander Lin can receive it with this piece." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the strips opened by the household department and the matching tokens to Lin Bei.

There were other officials present, and as witnesses, there were even the emperor's internal supervisors.

Lin Bei looked at the eunuch and said with a smile: "Is this the prison sent by His Majesty?" Don't know what to call it? ”

The eunuch shook his head: "Our family's surname is Feng, but we are not the overseers of this trip." ”

"Who is the Overseer?" Lin Bei was helpless, this is not coming, when will the army set off?

The war in the north, the meritorious deeds are just around the corner, who can wait?

"Commander Lin, are you impatient?"

A voice that surprised Lin Bei appeared in his ears.

Turning back sharply, he saw a convoy approaching, and the young master stepped down from the carriage.

Fang Jue held the holy decree in his hand, and Lin Bei looked at Yan Lanfeng and the inner prison.

"This ......"

"That's right, the young master is the supervisor this time." Yan Lanfeng was a little reluctant.

He walked over and said hello to Fang Jue.

"Young master, be careful, the danger in the north is no better than in the capital...... Your Majesty is really, how can a pillar like you be released! ”

Yan Lanfeng was very displeased, so he was worried that Fang Jue would die in the north, who would take him to make a fortune at that time?

The household department cannot do without a young master, just like the world cannot do without the Emperor Pavilion.

Seeing Yan Lanfeng complaining, Fang Jue smiled and said, "Brother Yan don't have to worry, I'll take the guards with me, and I'll be fine." ”

"Then you can take matters into account."

Yan Lanfeng said, beckoning the people from the household department to go away and not disturb this side.

After the people of the household department dispersed, Lin Bei also took the deputy general and a few henchmen to meet him.

"The last general has seen the young master." Lin Bei looked at the holy decree in Fang Jue's hand and said respectfully.

Fang Jue handed him the holy decree with both hands: "The Great Commander can take a look." ”

"No need." Lin Bei accepted the holy decree with both hands and bowed slightly, not that he did not need to kneel down to declare the decree.

After handing over the holy decree to the deputy general, Lin Bei sighed:

"I didn't expect that the prison army was actually a young master, which is really unexpected."

As he spoke, he glanced at Norichi not far away, who was leading people to unload the goods.

"Will Brother Dian also come with him?" Lin Bei's eyes lit up, this is equivalent to one more master, which can prevent Bei Liang from coming to the yin.

Fang Jue nodded and arched his hand: "This trip is covered by General Laurin." ”

"Where is the young master, I hope the young master will guide ......"

After the two of them were polite, Lin Bei sent someone to settle Fang Jue and took people away for a while on the grounds of military affairs.

Back at the camp, Lin Bei made the final preparations.

The adjutant general was complaining: "Why did Your Majesty send a weak scholar here, this way, except for the time when the horse rests, we don't rest...... Can the young master bear it? ”

A civilian official goes to the battlefield, it's just a joke, not to mention whether he will be scared to pee, will he ride a horse?

"Your Majesty has its own deep meaning, you and I have the order, what are you talking about...... The young master is a genius in the world approved by the Emperor's Pavilion, and he can do anything...... It should also know the military, right? ”

Saying that, Lin Bei himself laughed, but he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to eat military rations, such a nobleman.

"Why don't you please play Your Majesty and change someone...... Even if you change to a eunuch, you can ride a horse better than a scholar. "The adjutant general is only afraid that such a person will delay the speed of the army.

"Let's go, let's go, and we can reach the military post before dark." Lin Bei shook his head, he didn't say anything, what was the holy decree still tossed.

When he comes out with his lieutenant.

The cavalry battalion has been fully prepared, just waiting for him, the main general, to give an order.

"Hoo ......" a horse neighed, and as soon as the two of them left the camp, they saw a war horse with its head up, and a pair of front hooves rising into the air.

Then it slowly fell, and the man on horseback turned back, causing the two to freeze in shock.

"Young Master?" Lin Bei exclaimed.

"The young master can ride a horse?" The lieutenant general was also a little surprised.

Not only can he ride a horse, but he can also restrain his horse, and he looks like a veteran, comparable to some experienced cavalry.

Fang Jue said: "I have studied in the Emperor Pavilion for a few years, and I understand it a little. ”

He deliberately showed this hand, just to let the two of them know that Lao Tzu is not a weak scholar.

Although he has no talent to practice martial arts, he can learn everything that a normal person can do.

"......" The two pursed their lips, especially the deputy general, feeling hot on their faces.

Now, they all put away their contempt.
