Chapter 688, Mo Haotian's allies
Yan Ji couldn't help but be curious, curious about what kind of secret was hidden by such a powerful hero as Fujun, who could make him cry. A woman's intuition makes her feel that the secret that her husband hides in her heart should be a woman. As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel jealous, she had never seen her husband cry for a woman, and the woman who was hidden in the depths of his heart could make him cry, which really made her jealous! What kind of woman is that woman, is she her husband's beloved!? Yan Ji fell into her own imagination like this, fantasizing about a mysterious woman who really occupied her husband's heart!
Yang Peng saw Yan Ji's expression was different, and asked puzzledly, "Ai Ji, what are you thinking?" Yan Ji came back to her senses with a shock, and hurriedly smiled and said, "No, I didn't think about anything." Yang Peng saw that her expression was unnatural, and he felt that she was hiding something from herself. Such thoughts were fleeting, but I didn't take them to heart.
Yang Peng walked along the lake, Yan Ji followed closely by his side, chatting with Yang Peng without a word, while thinking about his own thoughts. Yan Ji is determined to find out the person her husband is hiding in her heart, she is very unconvinced, is there any woman more beautiful than herself?
Yang Peng said: "I plan to go to Sichuan immediately. ”
Yan Ji was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "What is the husband doing in Sichuan?" ”
Yang Peng said: "Sit in Sichuan and cheer for the front-line soldiers." Yan Ji smiled and asked, "Can't you help but want to go into battle in person, right?" Yang Peng waved his hand, "I don't mean that." But as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I should also show something and let them know that I am behind them, which can be regarded as an encouragement to them. ”
Yan Ji said: "It won't be that simple. The husband is worried that if there is a case, he will personally clean up the mess and stabilize the situation. ”
Yang Peng smiled and teased: "Aiji, you are really a beautiful roundworm in my stomach!" Yan Ji smiled charmingly and said angrily: "It is clear that the roundworms of the husband often burrow into the belly of the concubine." Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, hugged Yan Ji, and kissed her warm red lips fiercely. Yan Ji was in Yang Peng's arms, looking at Yang Peng with affection, and that eye wave could really turn steel into finger wrapping. Yang Peng couldn't help but be moved. Yan Ji suddenly spun, got out of her lover's arms, giggled, threw a wink at Yang Peng, and then turned around and ran towards her bedroom. How could Yang Peng not understand what she meant, so he became excited and chased after her. ……
Shi Liancheng came to Fengyu County with 50,000 Hanzhong troops. Climb to the top of the city, look at the Tianzhu military camp under the city, only to see the Tianzhu military camp stretching for more than ten miles, as if there is no end in sight.
Shi Liancheng turned his head and said to Huyan Bixian with a smile: "Brother Huyan, I have already received the report, you have done a good job!" ”
Hu Yan Bixian hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the praise of the general!" Then he pointed to the dangerous terrain in front of him, and said with a smile: "Actually, the last general has no merit, with such a dangerous terrain, anyone who guards can ensure that nothing goes wrong!" ”
Shi Liancheng said: "Brother Huyan don't have to be modest, I have already written a report on the merits and battle situation of Brother Huyan and his soldiers and sent it to Bianliang!" Huyan will show gratitude in his heart. Although Huyan Bixian's credit for guarding Fengyu County is not half false, it is also very grateful that his boss can report his credit one by one, instead of taking it for himself. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, no matter what kind of era and what kind of country, it is very common for a boss to swallow the credit of his subordinates, so a broad-minded boss is worthy of respect and gratitude in any era and any country.
Shi Liancheng frowned and said, "The current situation is still not optimistic. The Bagan army was already storming Longwei Pass, and Sun Weizheng led 50,000 Han Chinese troops to resist the enemy, and the battle was stalemate. The enemy is attacking very fiercely, and this Pu Lipeng is determined to fight to the death with us! Raised his finger and pointed to the Tianzhu military camp under the mountain, "And the Tianzhu people are even larger in scale and strong in strength, although we have the natural danger of Fengyu County, but we must not take it lightly!" Huyan Bixian hugged his fists and said: "The last general understands!" Now with these 50,000 reinforcements, the last general will be more sure to hold Fengyu County! The last general ......"
Shi Liancheng turned his head to look at it, and said angrily; "Brother Huyan, you and I were the first to follow Your Majesty, Your Majesty is commensurate with our brothers, you and I are brothers, why bother to see each other like this! You should call me Brother Shi as before! Hu Yanbi showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said: "This, the general is very loving, and the general is grateful." However, the situation today is different from the beginning, the brotherhood between Your Majesty and me has naturally never changed, but Your Majesty is already the Ninety-Five, and the general is also my boss, if you are commensurate with brothers, I am afraid of giving others a bad impression! Shi Liancheng raised his eyebrows and said, "We have a clear distinction between public and private, and we have a clear conscience, so why bother what others say!" ”
Seeing that Huyan Bixian was still so embarrassed, he was bored, and said: "Since Brother Huyan feels inconvenient, it's up to you!" Then he said angrily: "Brother Huyan, you are good at everything, but this indecisive character is not good!" Huyan Bixian smiled bitterly.
Shi Liancheng said: "Brother Huyan, what did you want to say just now?" ”
Hu Yan Bixian thought of what he wanted to say just now, and immediately said: "The last time the Tianzhu people came to attack, Fengyu County was almost lost, because a Tianzhu elite went around from the Diancang Mountain path to our back and launched a surprise attack while I was unprepared. The last general believes that the lessons of the past are not far away, and we should learn from them. The meaning of the last general is to send some small troops to use local villagers as guides to enter the Diancang Mountain, and respectively hold the paths that can cross the Diancang Mountain. ”
Shi Liancheng nodded and said, "That's what I mean." At the beginning, I really ignored this matter, thinking that the mountains of Diancang Mountain were continuous and dangerous, and it was difficult for the enemy to cross it, but I didn't expect them to use elite soldiers to climb over Diancang Mountain to raid! ”
Huyan will be revealed; "Fortunately, there is no road in Diancang Mountain that can really make the army pass, otherwise the consequences will be really unimaginable!"
Shi Liancheng said: "Just do what you want." "Huyan will show his fists in response.
Shi Liancheng said: "By the way, the eldest brother is already on his way to Sichuan." Huyan showed surprise on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty is coming?" ”
Shi Liancheng shook his head and said, "Big brother will sit in Sichuan to cheer us up, but he will not come to the front line in person." Huyan Bixian was excited and felt very pressured, and then frowned and said, "If only Your Majesty could send us some reinforcements!" Although the current enemy is not as powerful as us, there are as many as ants, and it really makes people feel that they are too much to kill! ”
Shi Liancheng said with a smile: "Big brother has already sent reinforcements, 400,000!" ”
Huyan Bixian was greatly surprised, "Four hundred thousand!? ”
Shi Liancheng nodded and said with a smile: "Don't be busy, although there are 400,000 people, they are all mobilized in the last month. ”
Hu Yanbi's eyes drummed: "The people's army? Then he said depressedly: "What can the people's army do!" Shi Liancheng waved his hand and said, "You can't say that, the people's army should also be useful." Then he thought: "This time, the eldest brother not only wants to defeat the enemy and obtain the land of Dali, but also wants to test the military mobilization system and the combat effectiveness of the people's army!" He glanced at Huyan Bixian and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate the People's Army too much!" When the Khitans marched south, the people's armies from all over the country assisted the officers and troops against the Khitans, which also played a great role! At that time, Gao Hu gathered all kinds of people's armies to prepare to counterattack the Khitans and recover the rivers and mountains in one fell swoop, if it wasn't for the obstruction of the imperial court, and did not give food, grass and ordnance assistance, maybe it would not be our turn to recover the Central Plains by the Ming army! ”
Hu Yanbixian frowned and said, "What the general said makes sense. Still, I can't rest assured. Don't be too busy to help, but ask our main force to divide troops to rescue, then it's a big deal! ”
Shi Liancheng smiled and said, "That's also possible. But whether it's a mule or a horse has to be pulled out for a walk. To be honest, I'm a little worried about it. Then he remembered another thing, and said with a smile: "Big brother must have the same worries as us, so he has ordered Duan Zhixian to lead an army of 100,000 directly under the army to come south to help." This is for the worst-case scenario. When Huyan Bixian heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I'm much more relieved!" ”
Then he asked, "General, you should already have a plan for breaking the enemy in front of you, right?" ”
Shi Liancheng looked at the Tianzhu army company camp under the mountain and said, "I have thought of two plans," retracting his gaze and looking at Huyan Bixian, "I was about to discuss it with you." One plan is to rely on the dangerous terrain of Longwei Pass and this Fengyu County to hold on, and use the dangerous terrain of this generation to consume the enemy's vital strength and attack spirit. When the enemy is exhausted, a full-scale counterattack is carried out. This plan is very safe, but it is difficult to really destroy the enemy, we can only force them back, and we will inevitably consume a lot in all aspects in the process of holding on for this period of time. ”
Hu Yanbixian nodded thoughtfully, and said, "This plan is very practical, I think it's very good." ”
Shi Liancheng said: "I also thought of another plan," after a pause, he said his second plan. Hu Yan Bixian's face showed a look of horror, obviously frightened by the boldness of this plan. When Shi Liancheng finished speaking, Hu Yanbixian wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and sighed: "The general is a great general, and he still wants to do this in the current situation!" ”
Shi Liancheng asked with a smile: "Brother Huyan, do you think my second plan is not good?" ”
Hu Yanbixian swallowed his saliva, shook his head and said, "It's not bad, it's just too bold!" Has the general thought about it, once this plan fails, I'm afraid we will have to withdraw from Dali! ”
Shi Liancheng said: "If it succeeds, then not only Dali is ours, but also will lay a very solid foundation for the subsequent march." ”
Huyan Bixian said with some concern: "The Bagan people have an army of 500,000, and the strength that our army can gather at present is only half of theirs, and if you want to defeat them in one fell swoop, I am afraid that it will be very difficult!" In case the main force fails to defeat the Bagan army in time as planned, but is bitten back by the Bagan army, at the same time, the Tianzhu army comes to the aid and the Bagan people flank us before and after, the consequences will be very serious, the entire battlefield situation may collapse instantly, our army only has the way to break through to the north, and how many people can break through in the end is also unknown. ”
Shi Liancheng smiled indifferently, "There are naturally risks, how can there be no risks in the battlefield!" There was a look of pride on his face, "I want to see if the Bagan people can resist the attack of our army with twice the number of troops!" Hu Yanbi saw that Shi Liancheng said this, and he couldn't help but be stimulated, but when he thought of the consequences of failure, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, and he only felt that Shi Liancheng's plan was too risky. In case of failure, the entire Dali will be lost, and this is just the case, in case the army falls into the siege of the Bagan and Tianzhu people, and the whole army is annihilated, Sichuan and Guangnan West Road may be in danger.
Shi Liancheng returned to Dali City on the same day to arrange, leaving 50,000 Hanzhong troops, that is, nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Huyan Bixian to garrison Fengyu County, that is, the first line of Cangshan, with Huyan Bixian as the commander and full responsibility. Shi Liancheng's plan was very clear, that is, Huyan Bixian led the army to block and contain the Tianzhu army in Fengyu County, and he gathered the rest of the troops to wait for the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Bagan army that was storming Longwei Pass, in order to break the Bagan army in one go, and then deal with the Tianzhu army with all his might, and then he would be invincible. However, Shi Liancheng can only gather about 230,000 troops in Yanyun at present, and about 40,000 in Dali in Toucheng, a total of 270,000 troops, while Bagan's army is 500,000, and the ratio of troops is almost one to two. Moreover, the Bagan people also have a war elephant army composed of 2,000 war elephants, and it is by no means easy for Shi Liancheng to defeat Bagan's 500,000 army with these 270,000 troops.
In an ordinary courtyard in Dali City. Five people gathered in a bedroom with a closed door and a heavily guarded door. Among the five people, the one sitting on the main seat was Mo Haotian, and the other four, two in their thirties and two in their forties and fifties, were all wearing ordinary Dali folk clothes, but they were all fair-skinned and excited.
I saw the forty or fifty-year-old middle-aged man sitting at the head of the left and said excitedly: "The Tianzhu people and the Bagan people are making a comeback, the Tianzhu people have an army of nearly 600,000, and the Bagan people have an army of nearly 500,000, this 1.1 million army is not as easy to deal with the Ming people as the autumn wind sweeps the leaves!" The one who spoke, named Duan Hongming, was a member of the Dali royal family, and he had long been away from the power field, but he was one of the richest nobles in the original Dali, and one-third of the hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land around Erhai Lake belonged to him. After the Ming Dynasty occupied Cangshan and Erhai Lake, it immediately implemented the land policy of the Ming Dynasty, although the common people were rejoicing, but they greatly offended the traditional nobles like Duan Hongming, these traditional nobles hated Yan Yun to the core, if possible, they really wanted to eat the Ming people alive. Because according to the land policy of the Ming Dynasty, Duan Hongming and the others had to sell a large amount of land in their hands at a low price, which was something that traditional nobles like them could not bear no matter what.
The five people present, in addition to Mo Haotian, the other four are all traditional nobles in Dali, except for Duan Hongming, among the other three, the middle-aged man in his forties and fifties with a somewhat gloomy face, named Xiao Wax, is the contemporary head of the Xiao family, he is a member of the Wuyi family, and the other two young people in their thirties, the one with a somewhat impulsive expression is named Bai Nong, Dali Han nationality, and the other young man with a very calm expression is named Cheng He, Dali Han nationality. These four people are representatives of the local traditional aristocracy in Dali, and it is unacceptable for the Ming Dynasty to occupy Cangshan and Erhai, so they came together with Mo Haotian under Mo Haotian's instigation and lobbying.
The other three listened to Duan Hongming's words and nodded approvingly. Bai Nong said loudly: "Although I don't understand military affairs, I also know that there is such a huge difference in strength, and there is no reason for the Ming Dynasty to win!" We should immediately get in touch with the Tianzhu and Bagan people, and after negotiating terms with them, help them defeat the evil Ming army and restore peace in Dali! ”
Xiao Wax nodded and said, "That's how it should be!" We can organize all the servants, and it will be absolutely no problem to gather seven or eight thousand people! ”
Cheng He pondered: "We can't cooperate with Tianzhu and Bagan people at the same time, we have to choose one, you must know that the result of stepping on two boats will not be wonderful." Between the Tianzhu people and the Bagan people, it is obvious that the strength of the Tianzhu people is much stronger, and we should cooperate with the Tianzhu people wholeheartedly! We help the Tianzhu people to seize Cangshan and Erhai, and the Tianzhu people will inevitably guarantee our interests in Cangshan and Erhai! The nobles nodded approvingly.
Mo Haotian said: "You think too simply! The four of them looked at Mo Haotian in confusion, and Bai Nong asked angrily, "Haotian, what do you mean by this?" "Haotian, it turned out that the four people present didn't know Mo Haotian's real name, thinking that his name was Haotian. Although Mo Haotian cooperated with these nobles, he still kept a hand.
Mo Haotian frowned and said, "The Great Ming Army is by no means as simple as you think!" Although the current situation is unfavorable for Daming, I am afraid that if you want to say that Tianzhu and Bagan people are sure to win! ”
Everyone only felt that Mo Haotian's words were very harsh, and couldn't help frowning, Bai Nong said angrily: "Haotian, why did you speak for Daming!" ”
Mo Haotian said: "It's not easy to say nice things, but what's the use!" Let's face it! Not long ago, Duan Zhichun united with the Tianzhu army to attack Dali, but in the end he was defeated by the Ming army. When the four of them heard this, their faces became ugly, of course the four of them knew about the battle not long ago, but they just subconsciously didn't want to think about it.
Mo Haotian continued: "As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles. We must know the strength of Daming. The strength of the Ming army is strong, there is no doubt about it! This toughness includes being well-equipped, well-commanded, and even more so their ferocity! We must clearly understand that although the Ming army is evil, it is extremely fierce, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are like wolves and tigers! Mo Haotian said this, naturally because he really thought so in his heart, and because he hoped to eliminate the careless attitude in the hearts of everyone present in this way, he believed that if these people still held such a negligent attitude, it would not only kill themselves, but also affect him.
Everyone listened to Mo Haotian's words, and they were very unhappy, and Bai Nong said angrily: "Listening to you say this, it seems that you are a Ming person!" ”
Mo Haotian said: "If you can't face up to the fierceness and cunning of the tiger, you can only be devoured by the tiger!" ”
Although everyone was unwilling to accept what Mo Haotian said, they couldn't find the words to refute it.
Cheng He asked, "So what does Haotian think we should do?" The others also looked at Mo Haotian.
Mo Haotian said: "We can't act rashly for the time being!" Although the situation seems to be very unfavorable to the Ming army, the lessons of the past tell us that it is undoubtedly too early to say that the Ming army will be defeated at this time! The Ming army has been defeated and won many times in a similar unfavorable situation! If we do it now, in case the Tianzhu and Bagan people are finally defeated by the Ming people, we will not die without a place to be buried! ”
Everyone's hearts sank, and they couldn't help nodding, and Bai Nong muttered in a low voice: "I don't believe that the Ming Army can turn defeat into victory under such a disadvantage!" That being said, he didn't dare to assert his opinion any longer.
Mo Haotian said: "What we have to do at this time is to stay honest and don't let the Ming people get up." When the situation is clear, it's not too late for us to act. ”
Everyone nodded, and Bonon asked, "When will the situation become clear?" The other three also had such questions, and turned their heads to look at Mo Haotian.
Mo Haotian pondered: "It shouldn't be far away." I think within half a month, the situation should be clear. Bo Nong nodded and said, "Then let's board for half a month!" Cheng He frowned and asked: "But if the development of the situation is completely different from what we expected, and the Tianzhu people and the Bagan people are overwhelmed, and we don't have time to contact them, they call, wouldn't it be a disaster?" ”
Mo Haotian said confidently: "There is no need to worry about this. I have always been in contact with the people of Tianzhu and Bagan, and as long as the situation is clear, my people can immediately communicate with them on your behalf, and there will be no problem! ”
The four of them glanced at each other, and Duan Hongming said, "That's not possible, our people must also be involved!" The other three nodded approvingly.
Mo Haotian smiled: "A few people who don't trust me very much!" Bai Nong said: "It's not about trust, not trusting." This kind of thing is related to the life of the family, so it is always better to be cautious! Mo Haotian nodded and said, "It's okay, you can send people you can trust, and I will arrange for them to go with my people to contact the Tianzhu people and the Bagan people." The four nodded in satisfaction. Mo Haotian said: "It is necessary to keep in touch, but don't take action here for the time being!" In addition, it is best for the four of you to use a pseudonym when contacting the Tianzhu Bagan side, lest the Ming army win and implicate you. The four nodded.
Outside Fengyu County, Tianzhu people have a big tent. Duan Zhichun received the call and hurriedly came to the big tent. When I saw the generalissimo Kshatriya of Tianzhu, I saw his excited face, and I couldn't help but feel strange in my heart, and bowed and saluted: "Generalissimo." ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
