Half a day later, Yi Yun returned to Chengdu Oasis with a large group of chaotic people, and he didn't interrogate Lu Xi, the captive, because he knew that Lu Xi's status in the Sanjiang Pavilion was too low, and he would definitely not be able to ask anything. Moreover, interrogating a captive in the middle of the road slows down the journey and delays his time back home.
After running all the way back to the Shu Palace, Yi Yun asked Li Chengyu to tie up Lu Xi and throw her into a side room, and then go back to clean her up. He took three Taoist aunts and came directly to see Han Feng, the prince of Shu.
After sitting down, Yi Yun first told the story of going to greet the red lotus in detail this time, so that the prince of Shu could understand the strength that Sanjiang Pavilion might have.
Then Honglian handed over the cork of Mount Emei to the prince of Shu, and sighed: "The poor road almost humiliated the mission and trapped Mount Emei in danger, but fortunately, the little prince was witty and invincible, and he could overcome the enemy, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable." ”
Lord Shu took the cork with a smile: "I know, which of our grandfather's descendants is a waste? A few days ago, a flying pigeon came to the capital, saying that His Majesty the Emperor already knew about his nephew's exploits in Jiangjin City, and soon there would be a eunuch trusted by His Majesty who would come to Chengdu with a holy decree, saying that he wanted to reward you. ”
If it weren't for giving me a few women from a good family, I wouldn't be interested. Yi Yun smiled, unimpressed.
Of course, he couldn't have known that Jiangjin County Ling Yanheng's flying pigeon biography had made Emperor Zhu Qingqing Qingqing notice his name, and he was also assigned a job to clear out the Japanese invaders.
If he knew that Jiangjin City would get him this job in that battle, he would not let Yan Heng give him his battle exploits.
His attitude of indifferently facing the reward, but ushered in the appreciative eyes of the Lord of Shu and the Red Lotus, the young man can be honored and disgraced without being surprised, and he has a little determination, which is good!
The prince of Shu praised him a few words, and the wind of words changed, and he said to the red lotus: "Dao Chief, if the map in my mind is not broken, Mount Emei is far away from Luzhou, at least a few hundred miles, and it should not be threatened by the rebels, why did you Mount Emei also hurriedly send the cork to Chengdu?"
Honglian frowned and said in a low voice, "This is the matter...... Speaking of which, I have also come to report an urgent military situation, because the battle in Luzhou is entangled, the rebels sent a sand cavalry to cross the Yangtze River from the oasis of Suijiang County, a few hundred miles west of Luzhou. ”
"Suijiang County?" Lord Shu's brows furrowed, he grabbed a roll of maps from his desk and spread it out on the table, this is a sketch map of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, marked with some strategic points, as well as a road map of the city.
From the map, Suijiang County was originally in the south of Mount Emei, and only need to cross the two counties of Muchuan County and Qianwei County to reach the range of Mount Emei, so that the rebels can almost always go north and attack Chengdu.
The prince of Shu was taken aback: "How many people are in this sand cavalry unit, where are they now?"
Honglian shook her head: "There are about two thousand people, all of them are elites, after crossing the Yangtze River, they did not attack any county seats, they went directly into the vast desert, avoiding the county towns along the way, and the scouts couldn't find where they went." Our Emei faction was worried about being attacked by this sand cavalry unit, so we decided to send the cork to the Chengdu Oasis that was easy to defend and difficult to attack to preserve. As long as the cork is safe and sound, even if Mount Emei is attacked by the rebels, the disciples of our faction can choose to retreat. ”
The brows of the prince of Shu were tightly furrowed: "The nasty sand cavalry troops...... Is this intended to disrupt the supply lines of our army's rear, or is it intended to directly attack an important stronghold? ”
Yi Yun heard it in a fog beside him, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is the sand cavalry?"
"The sand cavalry is the cavalry of the desert. The prince of Shu explained: "That is, the soldiers who ride camels, because the camels that can be used to charge into battle are more difficult to cultivate, and they are not as cheap as commercial camels, so it is difficult for the sand cavalry to form a scale, and the sand cavalry force of 2,000 people should already be all the cavalry of the rebels." ”
Yi Yun sighed, he hadn't heard of the camel soldiers, he had played a strategy game called "Age of Empires 2" before, which included camel cavalry, which seemed to be called "Mamluk", which was a very famous army in the Arab world.
"Is the Sand Cavalry a strong class?" asked Iyun.
"It's not that strong, it's actually just second-order 'soldiers', 'guards', and 'archers' riding on horses. The prince of Shu said: "It's just that they have camels to walk, and they are as fast as flying in the desert, and it is difficult to catch the tail." ”
The prince of Shu's finger moved on the map for a while, and suddenly said loudly to the outside of the house: "Someone, pass on my order, send a large number of scouts, along the oases of Emei Mountain, Leshan, Rongxian, Zigong, Yibin, etc., open a huge reconnaissance network, be sure to find out this sand cavalry unit." In addition, send additional heavy troops to protect the grain routes, and do not ask the enemy to intercept the grain. ”
"Yes!" someone answered outside the door.
"By the way, inform the governors of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan and the governor of Sichuan of this information, so that they can also take precautions. Lord Shu waved his hand.
Hearing this, Yi Yun frowned slightly, he couldn't quite understand this kind of military system in which the prince and the governor each gave orders, in his opinion, there should be only one military chief in a place, so that the order can be like a mountain, how can there be a reason to divide into two factions and command each other? Da Meng Kingdom is really a bit of a problem, this management system in which the prince and the local governor act separately is a bit unwanted...... Can this make a good country?
Forget it, Da Meng is not my motherland, my motherland is the People's Republic of China, and Da Meng's national affairs are none of my business. Iyun decided not to give his opinion indiscriminately, it was useless for him to say this kind of thing anyway. Unless the emperor is his wife, he is obedient and obedient when he wants to beat or scold, otherwise he is not qualified to criticize Da Mengguo.
However, he still planned to say something about this strange soldier of the enemy army: "Uncle Cousin, Red Lotus Dao Chief, I don't know much about military affairs, what I say next is all nonsense, you can listen to it casually, don't blame me if you say something wrong." Let me say boldly, in case, I mean in case, this sand cavalry unit directly comes to attack Chengdu and pull out the most important capital of Sichuan Province, is it possible to directly paralyze the defense capability of our entire Sichuan Province?"
"This is impossible!" Shu Wang Ye smiled: "Don't underestimate Chengdu, although this is not the main battlefield, most of the troops have also been transferred to Luzhou, but the remaining troops are also more than 1,000 people, with the tall and thick city walls of Chengdu City, as well as a row of cannons at the head of the city, how can two thousand sand cavalry break through the gate of Chengdu City?"
Honglian also nodded: "Two thousand people will never dare to attack Chengdu, if anyone vainly tries to take Chengdu with this amount of troops, then the enemy will only be dragged under the city of Chengdu, and then be attacked on both sides by the returning army, and there will be no place to die." ”
"Oh, so that's the case, the little nephew is talking nonsense again, and the cousin is not strange. Yi Yun quickly humbled himself.
"Of course Uncle Cousin won't blame you. Lord Shu smiled: "You can think like this, it means that you are a child with strategic vision, and your future achievements are limitless, hahaha, I am very happy." By the way, this time you did a good job of leading the team to pick up Mount Emei, and my cousin was very satisfied. Here are a few silver tickets, and I will spend them on the basis of the pocket money that your father gave you, and give some rewards to the soldiers who will go with you, and I have heard that several soldiers have helped you catch a female Assassin...... Hehe...... These soldiers are good, and they must be rewarded vigorously. ”
Yi went to take the silver ticket and looked at it, there were five, each with a denomination of 10,000 taels...... Nima ...... Now my wife An Qian is going to be dumbfounded, even if she is a rich second generation, she is not as fast as me, the second generation of officials, hahahaha! I still sell fart words, I also sell fart medicine...... Oh, no, there is proficiency in pharmaceuticals, and even if I don't make money, I have to make it.
