Chapter 159: The Wind of the General

Fu Youde did not answer Sheng Yong directly, but sighed, "Ye Shen is becoming more and more like a general. Among the juniors, I think he is the only one who is more successful than King Yan."

Sheng Yong said, "Guogong, when is this? And say this."

Fu Youde said: "For the way of the general, you should first cure the heart. Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left and did not look instantly, and then it could control the interests and harms, and it could treat the enemy. Now, has Tarzan collapsed?"

Sheng Yong didn't know what to say for a while.

Fu Youde said, "This is where you are inferior to Ye Shen. Ye Shen clearly felt that I was here. That's why he's so cautious."

Sheng Yong muttered secretly, "If I am in Ye Shen's position now, I can also do it."

He didn't feel that he was inferior to Ye Shen, but in adversity and in good times were completely different. In the face of adversity, maintaining a stable mindset is the most powerful.

Sheng Yong said: "The lesson of Guogong is that the situation in Luoyang may be difficult to maintain."

Fu Youde said, "You go to Luoyang, preside over the Luoyang war, and don't worry about anything else. Just hold on."

Sheng Yong said, "Then what if Ye Shen is still so cautious? What if you are not moved? It's been a long time. He'll know you're here."

Fu Youde said, "It doesn't matter. Does he know I'm here, so he won't attack? You underestimate Ye Shen too much. Maybe Ye Shen is eager to try it at the moment. Since he wants to delay time, then I will also delay time. Don't forget one thing."

"It's going to rain."

Sheng Yong was stunned, he forgot about this matter. Indeed, this was his plan at the beginning. When the Yellow River comes, even if the pontoon bridge cannot be washed away, there will be a long time when the north and south of the Yellow River cannot be connected.

At that time, they had to deal with only the Northern Army on the south bank of the Yellow River, not the Northern Army as a whole.

The biggest advantage of the Northern Army is logistical.

Sheng Yong said, "Then what if the Yellow River can't be defended and Shanxi defects?"

Fu Youde said, "You guard Luoyang, I know the arrangement you made in Luoyang. Luoyang will definitely be able to defend it for a long time."

Sheng Yong said, "How long do I need to stay in Luoyang?"

Fu Youde did not speak.

But not speaking is in itself a statement.

Sheng Yong waited for a while and said, "I understand. I will defend Luoyang to the death." Then he saluted and said, "The last general will retire." Then Sheng Yong left Fu Youde's camp and went all the way to the west.

Fu Youde sighed leisurely.

He's not in a hurry.

Ye Shen dragged still, each with his own worries.

From the perspective of the entire front, not only Luoyang has made a breakthrough, but there are also good news in other directions, such as the previous decisive victory is not there for the time being. After all, Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Sichuan, Hedong, these aspects have won a lot of battles, and they are a little full.

Fighting also has its own rhythm. Even if you win a battle, you need time to repair, wait for logistics, clean up the place, and so on. It is impossible to fight one battle after another, and the army can't stand it. Now these armies are in a period of intermission.

It's just that anyway, on the whole, the time is not on Nanjing's side, and the so-called heavy rain is also very difficult to say, if a big drought comes down, it is normal to have no heavy rain until autumn.

Hoping for the rainy season is actually a fluke.

But what about Fu Youde?

He paid for this copy. You can only hit with one hit, and there is no second chance. Once he was defeated. Needless to say, the rest will be said. It was difficult for the Nanjing court to survive.

He can only see the rabbit and not scatter the eagle.

And he is also gambling, betting that Ye Shen can't want to get the full credit, and betting that Ye Shen can't not want his head. After all, even if Luoyang is taken, his main force still exists. It is unlikely that Beijing will want to sweep the Central Plains and quickly settle Jianghuai.

And deep down in Fu Youde's heart, there is also a feeling of boredom.

If you want the war to drag on, you can't do anything, preserve

Strength is the most important thing.

Abandoning the Yellow River defense line and defending Jianghuai can actually resist for a while. At least one or two years. But he couldn't allow himself to step back in front of a junior. Moreover, he also wants this war to end as soon as possible.

The people have suffered enough.

Decide it out here, and turn the tide with victory. If you lose, you will be a hundred.

Fu Youde turned his back, looked at the map, his eyes focused on the Xingyang area, and suddenly felt a sense of fate.

At the beginning, Han Gao and Xiang Yu confronted each other here for many years. After Xiang Yu retreated here, he was defeated. I don't know, what his fate will be.

-------

Ye Shen stood on the south bank of the Yellow River, with a pontoon bridge behind him, and a camp in front of him, which was the Henan camp of the Northern Army. With the exception of the cavalry, the rest of the army was in the barracks. What's more, a large amount of supplies were transferred through the pontoon bridge.

Ye Shen was naturally worried about the rainy season. He was even more worried than Fu Youde.

After all, the rainy season is not easy to say, sometimes it comes very late, but sometimes it comes very early, early, and the Yellow River will be flooded.

During the flood season of the Yellow River, don't say that boats can't cross the river. Even if the pontoon bridge can be used, Ye Shen doesn't know. Naturally, he had to stock up on the South Bank to have enough supplies before he dared to go any further.

In addition, he also had to verify one of his feelings, he felt that Fu Youde was on the other side, but he didn't know where he was. He's waiting for news. News from all sides.

For others, Ye Shen may not be so cautious, but that is Fu Youde.

He was especially worried that one was accidentally caught by Fu Youde. That's all that goes unturned.

The more advantageous you are, the more cautious you must be, not to show flaws, and beware of what kind of fairy battle the other party plays.

This is actually the style of a general that Fu Youde said. There are no emotional fluctuations, everything is based on profit.

At this moment, Ye Shen didn't seem to take the battle in front of him to heart at all, he said, "This is a good point, if you build a railway in the future, you can go from here. In this way, Xingyang will be developed."

It is very close to the site of the first railway bridge over the Yellow River in history.

After all, it can be seen from here that the Yellow River has gradually become a hanging river on the ground from the east of Guangwu Mountain. Therefore, the plain in front of him is the western part of the main city of Zhengzhou in the later generations, and the area of Xingyang. It is a suitable place for both sides to fight.

At least here, the world is turned upside down, and there is no need to worry about the sudden flood behind you.

It is precisely because of the reason for avoiding floods and hanging rivers on the ground that the railway was chosen in history to choose this area, and finally achieved the rise of Zhengzhou. And in terms of bridge building technology, the further down the Yellow River goes, the wider it becomes, and the more difficult it is to build bridges.

So there will probably be the same choice now.

After the rise of the railway, Zhengzhou replaced Kaifeng, which seems not to be an accident, but an inevitability.

"My lord, there's news." At this moment, a staff officer said, "The Shandong side has verified it. More than 180 intelligence personnel from all walks of life in Shandong were killed. The previous messages were all fake. It can be determined that the main force of the Southern Army is no longer in Shandong."

Ye Shen let out a long breath and said, "Jiang is still old and spicy. That's enough for me to learn for decades."

Ye Shen could be sure at this moment that Fu Youde was not far from the opposite side, Ye Shen asked people to take out the map, pondered for a while, and circled a few places on the map. Especially in the mountainous area south of Xingyang.

This mountainous area is the remnant vein of Songshan Mountain, and the mountain is not high. But after all, it is good, and it can block cavalry reconnaissance. There are many plains in Henan, and you can see dozens of miles at a glance, especially when there is a clairmile mirror, hundreds of thousands of troops, or even more, are impossible to hide.

Probably only here can be hidden.

Although Ye Shen was surprised that Fu Youde was able to hide from the world and play such a trick, when he knew the hole cards of the Southern Army, there was not much fog in the south for him.

Ye Shen said, "Someone is bold enough to take a trip for me. Go and give some gifts to the Duke of Ying."

It's not just a gift, it's a temptation

。 Tell the other person, don't hide from me I know you're here. It's a kind of psychological warfare. It's just that the risk is still very high for those who go.

One accidentally was killed. It's also normal for people to be sent over.

Even if you don't kill it, it's normal to have one less ear and nose.
