Bao Xinyan's actions immediately aroused Li Jiangyao's vigilance.

This is simply the same as Shen Lie's analysis, and it is full of coincidences and conspiracy behind it.

"If you come down again, I'm afraid it's time to put on another good show." Xu Youchang laughed and said: "The imperial court received a secret report and judged that the enemy might want to raid Jichun Luotian and other places, so it urgently dispatched reinforcements from the water army. Yang Li has just won the battle, and the resources in his hands are very abundant, so he will definitely carry out the order without hesitation, and then get into the trap of the rebels. ”

Li Jiangyao thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I think that this time, Wei Zixuan and Yin Chengyi should not give Yang Li and them specific combat orders, but guide the navy to consider it in this direction by itself." You think, if the naval fleet is defeated because of the blind command of the imperial court, it is actually very unfavorable for Wei Zixuan and Yin Chengyi. Just like the previous transfer of Chang Tao to the north to fight the thieves, Li Bing was already very dissatisfied. ”

Xu Youchang agreed: "That's true, if every time they come up with an idea, it will cause the imperial court to suffer losses, no matter who becomes the emperor, they have to kill these dead stars." Jiang Yao, let's immediately remind Yang Li and let him not fall for the trick? ”

Li Jiangyao pondered for a moment, and suddenly showed a sly smile: "Don't be busy yet." ”

Xu Youchang was too familiar with him, and smiled when he saw this: "You shouldn't have thought of some ghost idea again, right?" ”

"Fighting, it's nothing more than you lying to me and I lie to you," Li Jiangyao shrugged: "Since you can guess what Lao Jianhua and they want to do, why not use it?" You know, the other party has put a lot of effort into doing this game, and it's a pity not to borrow it. ”

-

"Uncle, I'm back."

"Oh, Yan'er, come here." Bao Yuchun said softly: "It's hard all the way, sit down and roast the fire." ”

Bao Xinyan walked quickly to his uncle's side, and walked around the bonfire as he said: "Uncle, we are all ready." ”

Bao Yuchun didn't rush to speak, he stared at the fire for a while, and then said faintly: "This battle...... The stakes are important, and there is no room for error. ”

Bao Xinyan knew the meaning of his words, and nodded silently.

In the past year and a half, my uncle's life has been very difficult, and he is much older and haggard than before. Once the strategic balance is broken, hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the imperial court will sweep in and destroy the world.

Because of this, the Jin kings Li Zhi and Lao Jianhua also blamed their uncle many times, blaming him for not being good at governing the army, and he was played around by Li Jiangyao.

However, others do not know, but Bao Xinyan understands very well that Li Jiangyao is a genius on the battlefield, who can always turn decay into magic and turn the situation of inferiority around.

Such an opponent is really very difficult and terrifying.

Of course, this is not to say that Li Jiangyao is like the reincarnation of the god of war and has no weaknesses. The key problem is that he has accumulated immeasurable wealth and foundation in the previous years of hard work, so he can now lift his weight and sway calmly.

And the so-called wealth and base refer to two aspects.

First of all, his Zhenjiang Legion. This lone army in Western Xinjiang, from scratch, from small to large, was fought one battle after another, and crawled out of the pile of dead people in the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. After a long period of tempering in war, they don't know how many soldiers they sacrificed, and finally in exchange for this talented, brave and strong iron army, and they have absolute trust and loyalty to Li Jiangyao.

Secondly, and most importantly, Li Jiangyao's personal growth. No one is born to fight as soon as they come out of their mother's womb. True ability comes from the accumulation of blood and sweat. The reason why Li Jiangyao was able to command on the battlefield was that he was determined and dashing and free, first, because he had risen from the bottom in a down-to-earth manner, and second, because the environment forced him to study and grow up rapidly.

Otherwise, I am afraid that I would have died in the cruel war in Western Xinjiang.

Although Bao Xinyan's experience is not exactly the same as Li Jiangyao's, it is quite similar in many places: after graduating from the martial arts hall, he entered the battlefield as soon as he came out, fighting hundreds of battles large and small, from a lower-level officer to a general. Therefore, he can best understand why the other party is so powerful, and where it is.

Bao Yuchun's words pulled Bao Xinyan's thoughts back: "Yan'er, what do you think of the battle of Xuanniao?" ”

Bao Xinyan replied without hesitation: "Our army is well prepared and well-planned, and most of the enemy will be able to hit the plan. The most important thing is how to completely annihilate Li Bing's fleet and completely destroy the opponent's naval army. ”

"What are your plans?" Bao Yuchun asked patiently.

Bao Xinyan thought for a moment and responded: "Our army retreated all the way from Yiling to the vicinity of Yueyang, and the main purpose was to give up the mouth of the Fuzhang River to Yang Li and Wang Wenlie. The other party marched east along the river, and when they reached the Fuzhang River, they could turn into the Hanshui River from there, and then detour to Wuchang County and re-enter the river, which was not far from the Jichun Waterway. Uncle's arrangement was precisely to make Yang Li think that he not only successfully understood our plan to raid Luotian, but also successfully concealed it from us, quietly stationed near Jichun, waiting for us to be beaten. ”

Speaking of this, Bao Xinyan paused, and then said with a smile: "My nephew thinks that we should keep an eye on Yang Li, completely control his every move, and then launch a fierce attack at the moment when he is most relaxed." ”

Bao Yuchun nodded: "Then do you think when he will be the most relaxed?" ”

"Of course, it was about to enter the ambush position he had set up himself," Bao Xinyan said firmly: "At that time, what Yang Li thought in his heart should be that he had finally arrived at his destination safely, and then he just needed to recharge his energy and wait for us to take the bait." ”

Bao Yuchun asked again: "So, where is his preset ambush position?" ”

Bao Xinyan is confident about this: "If it is up to me to choose, the best choice is Cehu Lake in the west of Jichun County." Located on the north shore near the river, the lake is connected by a waterway that is lined with dense forests for easy concealment. If Yang Li hid hundreds of warships there, it would be difficult for anyone to find them. If we assault the Jichun defense line, he can completely kill from Cehu and launch an attack downstream, catching us by surprise. ”

Bao Yuchun nodded approvingly: "It's reasonable, good." I'm the same as you guessed, it's the same as Cehu. Yan'er, if you were to be in command, how would you prepare to fight this battle? ”

Bao Xinyan pondered for a moment and replied, "There are only two ways. One is to ambush in Cehu Lake in advance, waiting for Yang Li to come; The second was to pretend to attack the Jichun defense line, and suddenly turned around during the march, blocking Yang Li's fleet in Cehu and beating him severely. ”

"Which is better?"

"It can be said that each has its own merits." Bao Xinyan said: "Ambush in advance, there is a risk of exposing your whereabouts; Halfway through, it's a little less sudden. Me...... The latter should be preferred. ”

Bao Yuchun smiled faintly: "This is the difference between our uncle and nephew." I will definitely choose to ambush in advance. ”

Bao Xinyan said curiously: "Cehu is on the enemy's territory, and they are on high alert, how can they hide their traces?" ”

"Why hide tracks?" Bao Yuchun showed a sly expression: "Can't you be generous?" ”

"Generous?" Bao Xinyan suddenly reacted: "I understand, you mean disguised as a court army?" ”

Bao Yuchun bowed slightly: "Although the enemy has strong troops, Li Bing and the imperial court have not yet fully controlled the army, so they lack a unified and coordinated commander-in-chief, and there is no perfect liaison and cooperation system between the various corps. Yang Li came from afar to reinforce the Jichun defense line, whether it is the Qinglong Army or the Vermilion Bird Army, I am afraid that they are not very familiar with the naval fleet, which just gives us the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. We disguised ourselves as Yang Li's vanguard and stayed in Cehu Lake, waiting for him to deliver them to the door. ”

-

Just when the uncle and nephew of the Bao family were thinking about how to deal with the imperial fleet, Yiling Water Village, thousands of miles away, received a letter from Li Jiangyao.

After watching it together, Yang Li, the governor of the navy, and Wang Wenlie, the deputy general, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really unacceptable!" Most of the governors use soldiers, like a wild imagination. Not to mention opponents, their own people are often unpredictable. Wen Lie, what do you think? ”

"I agree with Daduhu's judgment, but ......" Wang Wenlie hesitated, "Isn't it too risky to do this?" ”

"If you don't take risks, how can you break the enemy and win?" Yang Li sneered: "The more this is the case, the more the enemy will not be able to think of it." I think the Metropolitan Governor's approach is feasible. ”

Although Wang Wenlie is cautious, he is by no means a coward, on the contrary, he is very heroic, he saw Yang Li say this, so he also responded loudly: "Okay!" Then I'll listen to you and don't go to the aid of Jichun's defense line! ”

Yang Li shook his head: "It's not to listen to me, but to listen to the governor of the capital, and listen to the commander of our navy." Only you and I know about the matter mentioned in the letter, and everything is still business as usual to the outside world. Once he received a request from General Murong for assistance in defense, he aimed to rush to the Jichun defense line and mobilized the whole army to start corresponding combat preparations. There is only one purpose, to deceive the eyes and ears of the enemy. ”

Wang Wenlie swiped his finger along the map, and at the same time confirmed: "Or the plan that I considered before, detour from the Fuzhang River to Wuchang?" ”

"Yes, the plan remains the same," Yang Li replied solemnly: "The fleet set off from Yiling, marched downstream, and headed for the mouth of the Fuzhang River. You send out scout boats in advance, along the predetermined route, to explore the way and reconnoitre, so that the enemy thinks that we have really won the plan. ”

Wang Wenlie thought for a while and added: "Not only that, but we can also make more moves to consolidate Bao Yuchun's impression, for example, in the direction of Jichun Waterway, we preset it as a gathering point for attack, and specially sent people to 'sneaky' to investigate it." ”

With Yang Li's silent and unsmiling character, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words: "It's still you kid who is cunning." In my opinion, let's choose Cehu. However, there is no need to send someone to investigate, as long as this place is mentioned when the mission is assigned in the army, the rebel eyes will naturally hear it. ”
