231 [A few people from ancient times]
Come to Anseong, Lu Zhai.
"Miss, Miss!"
Jin Shu held his skirt in both hands and trotted all the way into the study of the East Cross Courtyard, his face was full of surprise, and his voice was full of anxious and excited emotions.
In front of the window, Wang Chulong put down the book "Miscellaneous Chapters of the Divine Mechanism and the Enemy" in his hand, turned his head to look at the slightly reckless maid, and asked softly, "Why are you so panicked?" β
Jinshu stood still, raised his hand and stroked his heart, and said in a loud voice: "Miss, the people from the Governor's Mansion found Song Pei and told her that Lu Gongzi had won the victory, and led three thousand strange soldiers to attack and capture Yongquan Pass in the snowy night. Now that the armies of Huaizhou have gone north one after another, they must take advantage of the solid foundation laid by Lu Gongzi to pursue the victory! β
Wang Chulong's eyes fluttered, and he smiled slightly: "Hmm." β
Jinshu observed her reaction and asked puzzledly, "Miss, aren't you happy?" β
"Why?"
Wang Chulong got up, walked closer, raised his slender hand and gently scraped her nose, and quipped: "Do you want me to be like you little girl, write happiness on my face, and bounce all the way without a proper line?" Speaking of which, since you came to Huaizhou, you care more about Lu Gongzi's news than me, and you have asked Song Pei a lot these days, do you take a fancy to Lu Gongzi? β
Jin Shu's face turned into a big red cloth, and he said embarrassedly for a long time: "Miss, the maid is obviously thinking about you." The Lin girl in the Baotai Mountain in the north, she is Lu Gongzi's senior sister, she taught Lu Gongzi a lot of clever martial arts hand in hand, and was born and died with him and went through hardships and dangers, what a deep affection. Miss said that Mr. Lu is very assertive, and the master of the Lu family respects his personal ideas very much, and some things have to be planned in advance. β
"I can't see that you still have the potential to be a secret agent, presumably all this news was inquired about from Song Pei, right?"
Wang Chulong was not annoyed, and walked back to the window and sat down with a smile.
"Miss rest assured, the maid didn't use those clichΓ©s, she asked her honestly. Sister Song Pei is also very good, and told her maid everything she knows. β
Jin Shu said as he stepped forward to help Wang Chulong replace the tea in the bowl.
"People have their own fate, you don't have to worry about this matter, and don't deliberately inquire about anything in Song Pei in the future, just get along with each other every day." Wang Chulong gently admonished, and said: "The reason why I didn't cheer as much as you did was because I had long expected that Lu Gongzi would win the first battle. β
Jin Shu blinked his big round eyes and said curiously: "I didn't expect Miss to have such confidence in Lu Gongzi." β
"You have a lot of information, but you don't really know what kind of person he is. When the news of the fall of Yongquan Pass came back to Heluo City, I am afraid that the county lord of Yongping will still disagree with it and not regard Lu Gongzi as an opponent of the level of Xiao Dadudu. If I guessed correctly, she should have ordered the defenders everywhere on Dongyang Road to wait for help, and then asked the commander of the Jing Army to send a part of his troops to Dongyang Road to rescue. β
Jin Shu is a little incomprehensible.
Under the teaching of Wang Chulong in her spare time, she learned to read and write, but after all, she could not comprehend too advanced content.
Wang Chulong didn't explain too much, only said: "Qingyu Huaijin naturally hates Lu Gongzi very much, but she still doesn't pay enough attention to it, maybe this will be the root cause of her failure again." I have studied all the exploits of Lu Gongzi from the Battle of Guangling to the present, and unlike the average fledgling and still immature generals, he has been very mature and old from the beginning, and his way of using troops is even more one link after another. If the opponent does not find the clue at the beginning, it will be difficult to turn the situation around in the middle game. β
Jin Shu muttered: "It turns out that Lu Gongzi is so powerful. β
Wang Chulong said: "He is not only because of talent, but also because of diligence." During this time in Huaizhou, when have you and I seen him relax for a moment? A young and suddenly noble man like him, looking for flowers and asking Liu Zhangtai to do nothing, and devote himself to serious things, how rare is this kind of heart. In those days, I watched him lock himself in his study and repeatedly deduce day and night, and I knew that Qing Yu Huaijin was definitely not his opponent, but ......"
Although Jin Shu didn't know much about the ups and downs outside, he knew his young lady's temperament very well, and looked at the faint melancholy between her eyebrows, so he said in a light tone: "Miss, are you worried about Lu Gongzi?" β
"Hmm."
Wang Chulong did not pretend to be false, nodded calmly, and then said: "There are many dangers on the battlefield, and it is impossible for him to command the overall situation in the rear with his current status, and there will inevitably be many times when he personally leads the troops to kill." I know that he has learned a lot of good martial arts from Miss Lin, but it is inevitable that he will encounter danger. β
Seeing this, Jin Shu couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Wang Chulong couldn't help but smile: "What are you sighing for? Having said that, mentioning that Miss Lin made my thinking suddenly clear. β
Jinshu didn't understand what it meant, and saw Wang Chulong take out a piece of paper from under a stack of books, and spread it out in a large area.
The paper was full of drawings, and Jin Shu took a closer look and said in surprise: "Miss, is this a map?" β
"It's a topographical sketch of the north side."
"And what are these lines?"
"It is the route that the Huaizhou Army may choose in my deduction and various contingency measures."
Jin Shu's eyes widened, his eyes full of confusion.
Wang Chulong drew a line in the north of the map, next to the three characters Baotai Mountain, she looked at it quietly for a long time, and then took an envelope, which already had two pieces of letter paper covered with handwriting, and the third paper was half written.
Seeing her lift Zihao on the pen stand, Jin Shu walked to the right side of the big case to study the ink, while avoiding the letter paper on the table.
Wang Chulong's pen strokes are smooth and vigorous, the gestures are ups and downs, and there is a vigorous atmosphere in the gentleness, with bones and tendons, skin and flesh, fat and wind.
After about a stick of incense, she finished writing and closing the pen, and when the ink on the paper was completely dry, she put it in the envelope, sealed the fire paint, handed the envelope to Jinshu, and said gently: "You go to find Song Pei, and then the two of them go to see Tan Zheng Tan Leader together, and ask him to send a reliable person to send this letter to the border pass, and he must hand it over to Lu Gongzi himself." β
"Yes, miss."
Jin Shu never had a hippie smile on major matters, and immediately put away the envelope and turned around with great solemnity.
Wang Chulong watched her leave quickly, and immediately moved his eyes to look at the cold and lonely winter scenery outside the window, and whispered to himself: "Although I don't know the whole picture of your plan, I hope to help you, and I hope you will be safe and triumphant." β
β¦β¦
The northern border passes, the flags are displayed, and the swords and guns are like a forest.
Qingtian City to the east more than 40 miles, Yongquan Pass to the south more than 10 miles, where the Huaizhou Taixing Army and the Guangling Army are stationed, is also the Huaizhou Governor's Mansion of the Chinese army commander's tent.
In addition to Kang Yanxiao, the chief general of the Taixing Army, and Zhu Youyu, the chief general of the Guangling Army, there are also Song Shifei, the chief general of the Feiyun Army, and Gong Shiwang, the chief general of the Pingshan Army, who are now stationed in the periphery of Qingtian City, Duan Zuozhang, the chief general of the Lai'an Army stationed in Yongquan Pass, and Pei Di, the chief general of the Zhenbei Army stationed in Tongshan City.
Of the Huaizhou Ninth Army, only the Panlong Army and the Xunyang and Jianghua armies far west of the Shuangfeng Mountains were not in this area.
"The Governor has arrived!"
The soldiers shouted, and all the generals got up to greet each other at the same time, and saw Xiao Wangzhi striding into the tent with Lu Shen and Sima Huang Xianfeng.
Xiao Wangzhi said bluntly: "No need to be polite, sit down and discuss." β
Even so, the generals waited for him to sit down.
"The Rui Shi battalion bravely took the lead in the surprise attack on Yongquan Pass, and the Zhenbei Army regained the mountain city in one go, and the governor has written down your merits, and will send someone to the capital to report to the Son of Heaven."
Xiao Wangzhi said with a warm smile, and Lu Shen and Pei Di thanked him.
"The next operational strategy concept, Lu Shen, you say."
Xiao Wangzhi went straight to the point, without the slightest drag.
"Yes, Grand Duke."
Lu Shen did not prevaricate, got up and walked to the map and said to everyone: "With Yongquan Pass and Tongshan City being recovered by our army, there are three options for our army's attack next. One of them is Qingtian City, which has become a turtle in the urn, if it can be recovered, then our army will have no worries. β
The generals listened intently.
Lu Shen continued: "The second option, the main force of our army will go north from Yongquan Pass and enter Gushu City in the northeast, which is a strategic point at the southern end of Dongyang Road in Pseudo-Yan. The third option, the main force of our army uses Tongshan City as a bridgehead and attacks Ningling City to the north. According to the information collected by the Warp Weaving Division, before the outbreak of the war, there were 5,000 defenders in Gushu City and 4,000 defenders in Ningling City. β
Xiao Wangzhi said indifferently: "You can just say what you want." β
Kang Yanxiao, the commander of the Taixing Army, said: "Governor Dadu, the last general thinks that Qingtian City should be attacked first, and Captain Lu has already said the reason. As long as Qingtian Castle is taken, our army can go straight north from two paths, and then make Tongshan Castle and Yongquan Pass a stronghold for further attacks. β
This is Lao Cheng's extremely prudent strategy, and several generals bowed their heads slightly to show their approval.
Pei Di said calmly: "Governor, generals, Qingtian City is already isolated and in a desperate situation, in my opinion, this city should be besieged to attack its army, and there is no need to lose too many troops in this battle." If you attack at this time, it will provoke the resistance of the defenders in the city. There were only 8,000 defenders in the city, and our army only needed to leave a main force to deter, and they would not dare to leave the city. After a long time, the morale of the defenders in the city will inevitably be low, and whether it is surrendering or attacking, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. β
Lu Shen turned his head and glanced at him, which coincided with his judgment.
Xiao Wangzhi asked calmly: "Then where do you think our army should attack next?" β
Pei Di replied: "Ningling City." If this place can be recovered, the Yan army on the front line of Pinglicheng can be controlled to the west, the pseudo-Yan can be intercepted from sending reinforcements from elsewhere to support Dongyang Road to the northwest, and the heart of Dongyang Road can be shocked by going northeast. β
Xiao Wangzhi was noncommittal, looked at Lu Shen and said, "What do you think?" β
"Governor Dadu, in terms of the strategy of treating Qingtian City, the last general and General Pei have the same opinion."
Lu Shen lowered his head slightly, and then said calmly: "However, the last general thinks that it may be more appropriate to set the main attack point in Gushu City. β
Pei Di raised his head and asked, "Why?" β
Lu Shen looked around at everyone and replied: "There are three official roads in the territory of Dongyang Road in Pseudo-Yan, one is from Heluo City to the capital Ruyin City, the second is from Ruyin City to Fengqiu City in the north, and the third is from Ruyin City to Gushu City. If we can capture Gushu, it means that our army can approach Ruyin in the shortest possible time. β
Duan Zuozhang muttered: "Lu Duwei's intention, our army wants to directly attack Ruyin City? If I remember correctly, when you came to Anseong, you said that the first stage of this battle was mainly to clear the outer defense line of Dongyang Road, and there was no need to rush Ruyin City. β
Lu Shen said: "That's right, so the purpose of our attack on Gu Shu is not to attack Ruyin City in the next step, but to bet that Li Shouzhen will not dare to abandon Gu Shu's strategic point, bet that he is afraid that we will target Ruyin directly, and bet that he will send a limited force of fresh force to the south to rescue." β
Song Shifei, the commander of the Feiyun Army, touched his head and said, "Captain Lu, what if Li Shouzhen is not fooled?" β
"It's simple."
Lu Shen raised his hand and pointed to Gu Shucheng on the map, and said calmly: "He sent reinforcements south, and we will surround the point to send reinforcements to annihilate the enemy's living force." If he shrinks into Ruyin City as a turtle, we will directly take Gushu City, and then go back to clean up the Yan army in Ningling City! β
After thinking about it, the generals couldn't help but cast approving glances.
Xiao Wangzhi's eyes looked at Lu Shen affectionately, and said with a smile: "Virtuality and reality, killing two birds with one stone, this strategy is wonderful." β
Lu Shen's eyes drooped slightly: "Most of the governors praise him, and the last general is ashamed." β
Xiao Wangzhi nodded, and then dispatched troops to issue military orders, and the commanders of each army received their own tasks.
At the end of the words, Xiao Wangzhi looked around at everyone and said in an accentuated tone: "Next, our army will officially enter the territory of Pseudo-Yan, where the people of the north who have left Daqi for more than ten years live, and you should remember the four words of strict military discipline. This governor has entrusted the responsibility of inspecting military discipline to the Rui Shi battalion, if someone bullies the people and ruins the reputation of our army, do not blame this governor for not being merciless! β
"The last general will keep it in mind, don't dare or forget!"
Including Lu Shen, everyone received the order in unison.
After the military discussion, Lu Shen returned to the temporary station of the Ruishi camp, and just came to the vicinity of his camp tent, he saw Li Chengen leading three family guards to the front and handed him an envelope with good fire.
Back in the tent, he opened the envelope and read it carefully.
Wang Chulong's handwriting is very good-looking, and the words in the letter are quite plain, without the slightest hint of pretentiousness.
She wrote a lot, not only her deduction of this big battle, but also the details that reminded Lu Shen that he needed to pay attention to, and a touch of concern.
Although some of her ideas are still a little immature, but for a young lady of a family who has never experienced the battlefield, it is extremely rare to have this insight, after all, she is not Lin Xi or Li Bingxue, she is just a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken.
Lu Shen looked at the three words "Wang Chulong" at the place of payment, and couldn't help but sigh softly, and immediately put the letter away, and had no intention of writing a reply.
At the moment of the war, the love of children is a bit of a luxury for him after all.
We'll just have to wait for a future.
