This was a military discussion that clarified tactical thinking and ensured that everyone was aware of their responsibilities, so Qing Yu Zhongwang spoke very thoroughly.

Qing Yu Huaijin sat in the corner like a few days ago, looking at his brother who was calmly and eloquently talking, and suddenly he vaguely saw a little bit of his father's demeanor commanding the army from him.

In the mouths of the Qingpi idlers in the capital of the Jing Dynasty, there has always been a vague rumor, that is, the eldest son and the eldest daughter of the king of Changshan are fighting openly and secretly, and both of them want to inherit the authority of the generalissimo, even more fiercely than the princes in the palace.

Qing Yu Huaijin had heard of these rumors, and she scoffed at them, because she had no intention of fighting for power at all, otherwise how could she refuse Emperor Jing's grace?

It is necessary to know that above the Dajing court, female officials are not uncommon.

Therefore, seeing his brother's calm state at this moment, a touch of relief appeared in Qing Yu Huaijin's heart, fortunately he rushed to preside over the overall situation, otherwise he would definitely lose to the cunning man of Nanqi again.

When Qing Yu Zhongwang pointed to Ruyin City, most people were at a loss.

After all, Mou Lianghu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he reacted immediately, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

Qing Yu Zhongwang noticed the change in Mou Lianghu's expression, bowed his head slightly, and then continued: "Maybe you can't understand why I set my goal on Ruyin? According to the information we have so far, the main force of the Huaizhou Army led by Xiao Wangzhi surrounded Ruyin City, and he commanded at least four armies, Zhenbei, Taixing, Guangling, and Pingshan, with a total strength of about 50,000 troops. It is true that there are 30,000 Yan troops in Ruyin City, and according to the military book, Xiao Wangzhi needs more than 100,000 troops to attack the city, but you can't ignore one point, the Yan army has been defeated in successive battles, and its combat strength has decreased a lot compared to usual. ”

Considering this comparison of forces, it was not a matter of negligence for him to set the target of Ruyin City.

No matter how unbearable the Yan army is, as long as the Jing army arrives outside Ruyin City and attacks the main force led by Xiao Wangzhi, more than 30,000 people in the city can contribute to some extent.

The problem, however, was that the Huaizhou army near Gongcheng blocked Jing's eastward advance.

At this time, a young general named Lou Shuo Fangming asked: "Little Lord, are you saying that our army will first defeat the Huaizhou army in the east of the Gongcheng, and then enter Dongyang Road along the official road?" ”

Although he did not say it explicitly, everyone in the hall understood what he meant.

Regardless of whether the Jing army can defeat the elite led by Lu Shen, even if they have this strength, Xiao Wangzhi outside Ruyin City will definitely be able to receive the news in time and then calmly respond.

Qing Yu Zhongwang said indifferently: "Before answering your question, let's take a look at the details of the Huaizhou army in the east of the Gongcheng. ”

He raised his hand and pointed to the Gongcheng on the official road, and then said: "This Huaizhou army includes Lu Shen's Ruishi battalion, and the Lai'an army under the command of Duan Zuozhang, with a total strength of about 20,000. They captured Qingliuguan and Raoyang City successively, and the losses were not large, and we can assume for the time being that they still have 18,000 soldiers to fight. I asked Ling, the main force of our army is all together, and with the cooperation of the Yan army, do these 18,000 people have the ability to resist? ”

Lou Shuo replied without thinking: "Definitely not!" ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang smiled and said, "In that case, why do they dare to move forward? And when I sent 3,000 cavalry to the city to plunder, they still did not stop marching. ”

Lou Shuo Fangming thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Because they still have reinforcements behind them, they can support this army at any time, and form a counter-encirclement of our army on the battlefield." ”

"You're right. Let me ask you again, how many reinforcements are there? ”

"This ......"

Lou Shuo Fang Ming hesitated, how could he dare to open his mouth on such a serious occasion.

Qing Yu Zhongwang did not embarrass him, and his tone was slightly deep: "From the process of the battle of Lei Ze, it can be seen that Xiao Wangzhi and Lu Shen will spare no effort when using strategies, so we can assume that behind the Huaizhou army, there are also Xunyang Army, Jianghua Army and Jingzhou Feiyu Battalion, which have a total of 30,000 troops, plus the Ruishi Battalion and the Lai'an Army, which are almost close to 50,000 people. ”

This remark made the atmosphere in the hall more solemn.

The strength of the Southern Qi border army should not be underestimated, and if you want to deal with these 50,000 people head-on, the Jing army in Heluo City has to burst out with the combat power of its heyday more than ten years ago.

Another young general, Zhuo Tuoguang, muttered: "Little Prince, if there are so many Qi troops hidden in the east of the Gongcheng, does it mean that the main force under Xiao Wangzhi is actually not that strong?" If he wants to storm Ruyin City, he will definitely lose a lot, and if our army can rush to the battlefield, there is a great hope of victory. ”

Qing Yuzhong praised: "Not bad. The reason why I didn't send troops to block the attack in advance was that I hoped that the soldiers and horses led by Lu Shen would get closer and closer to Heluo and get farther and farther away from Dongyang Road. He wants to recreate the old things of Razor and deliberately lure our army to attack, so naturally we can't follow his rhythm. ”

Mou Lianghu interjected at the right time: "Little Lord Wang is right, the terrain of the official road in the east is very suitable for the Southern Qi infantry to line up to meet the battle, and it is difficult for our army to break their formation in this situation. But the side of Ruyin City is different, Xiao Wangzhi must scatter his forces on all sides if he wants to attack the city, and the plain outside the city is flat, which is very suitable for our cavalry to attack. ”

Qing Yuzhong nodded, turned around and sat on the main seat, took a sip of the teacup and moistened his throat, and then said: "There is a more important point, although Lu Shen has become famous in the past two years, and he has become the first general in Huaizhou under Xiao Wangzhi, but he can't compare with Xiao Wangzhi in terms of prestige in the army. Defeating Lu Shen may be able to demoralize the enemy, but it is far less than defeating Xiao Wangzhi outside Ruyin City. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's mood suddenly became eager.

Of course, they had heard of Xiao Wangzhi's prestige, back then, this person and Li Tianrun were one east and one west, blocking the pace of Jing Jun under an extremely unfavorable disadvantage, and forcibly created a pattern of southern Qi and northern Yan dividing the river and ruling the river.

As Qing Yu Zhongwang said, capture the thief and capture the king first, if Xiao Wangzhi and his soldiers and horses can be solved in one battle, Lu Shen does not have the fame to replace Xiao Wangzhi at the moment, and the Huaizhou army can only retreat in disgrace.

Seeing that everyone had fully comprehended the current situation, Qing Yu Zhongwang said, "Zhuo Tuoguang." ”

The tall and long-armed young general stood up and said, "The last general! ”

Qing Yuzhong looked up at him, and ordered unhurriedly: "You lead five thousand foot soldiers out of the city and go to Yaoshan Pass to the west of Gongcheng to take over the defense, and the Yan army in the pass can be your servant army." In addition, the 3,000 cavalry that Mitsuyoshi brought with him will assist you in your defense. ”

Zhuo Tuoguang said calmly: "The last general takes orders!" ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang also advised: "You must keep in mind that you must not go out of the pass to fight with the Qi army, and at the same time, no matter how fierce the enemy's offensive is, you must defend Yaoshan Pass for me." If the Qi army bypasses Yaoshan Pass and continues westward, you will join forces with Guangji to attack their rear routes. ”

Zhuo Tuo bowed and said, "Please rest assured, the little prince will never be negligent." ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Mou Lianghu and said: "General, the remaining fifteen thousand foot soldiers are left in Heluo City, under your full command, I will let Pang Shigu transfer the command of the Yan army to you, and then you will preside over the defense of Heluo City." ”

Mou Lianghu got up and said, "Yes." ”

Qing Yuzhong raised his hand and pressed it weakly, looked around at the generals, and said slowly: "I asked Zhuo Tuoguang to guard Yaoshan Pass, to attract the Huaizhou army led by Lu Shen through here, and General Mou Lianghu sat in Heluo to prevent accidents and avoid Lu Shen finding an opportunity to break the city." But I want you to understand that these are not the arrangements that will determine the final victory, and where is the battlefield where our army should really do its best? ”

"Ruyin City!"

The generals replied in unison.

Qing Yu Zhongwang said leisurely: "That's right, it's Ruyin City." Some time ago, I had already sent an order to the 5,000 foot soldiers stationed on the front line of Fengqiu at the northern end of Dongyang Road, so that they would leave 2,000 people to keep an eye on the bandit army on Baotai Mountain, and the other 3,000 people had already gone south. These 3,000 people will keep a relatively long distance from the main force of the Qi army, on the one hand, to relieve Li Shouzhen's pressure, and on the other hand, to clear the way for our cavalry assault. ”

Speaking of this, his tone rose slightly: "You have always been curious about how our cavalry will appear outside Ruyin City, in fact, the answer is very simple, let's first enter Henan Road in the northeast direction, and then quickly rush eastward, drill in from the junction of Henan Road, Baotai Mountain and Dongyang Road, and rush straight to Xiao Wangzhi's eyes!" ”

There was silence in the hall.

Mou Lianghu only felt that the blood in his body was boiling, as if he had returned to the invincible years when he followed Qing Yugong to gallop through the north more than ten years ago, but he also knew that Heluo City must leave a person with enough weight to preside over the overall situation.

Although he felt sorry in his heart, he couldn't help but admire: "The little prince's move is quite the style of the prince's use of soldiers. ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang knew his thoughts well, and said with a slight smile: "The general is false, I am less than one-ten-thousandth of my father's king." Ladies and gentlemen, except for the 3,000 cavalry sent to the Eastern Front to assist in the defense of Yaoshan Pass, and the 1,000 cavalry left in Zhuoyuan, I will take all the remaining cavalry to complete this long-distance attack. ”

The young generals couldn't help but puff up their chests.

Qing Yu Zhongwang counted the names of several people in a row, and then said with a straight face: "The Dajing cavalry dominates the world, relying on the mobility ability that all enemies in this world cannot match. This time, I hope you can prove to the world that despite the unpredictable vicissitudes of the world, the Dajing cavalry is still invincible! ”

"Invincible in the world!"

The rest of them all blushed and roared.

"Good. The person whose name was just called immediately went back to reorganize the army, and when the time came, he would follow me to the battlefield, so that the Qi people could see the unreasonable and invincible Dajing cavalry! ”

"Obey!"

Everyone stood up, their voices sonorous.

After a while, everyone left the main hall, and only the two brothers and sisters of the Qingyu family were left.

Qing Yu Huaijin, who had been silent, walked up to his brother and said admiringly: "My brother really impressed my little sister today. ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang smiled honestly, as if he had returned to his usual state, and he was always a little out of tune in front of her, and said warmly: "Xiao Wangzhi and Lu Shen have listed two paths for me, either to retreat in Heluo City, or to go to the eastern front to fight with Lu Shen's ambush troops, but how can I do what they expected?" This third way is not strange, but it is clear that they underestimated the strength of our cavalry because of their previous victory. ”

"Well, my brother is right."

Qing Yu Huaijin raised his eyes to look at him and said seriously: "The war is dangerous, I hope my brother will be careful and pay attention to safety." ”

Qing Yuzhong looked at the bow and reminded: "After I lead the troops to leave, Mou Lianghu should be able to control the situation, but you must also beware that some people in this city, whether Pang Shigu or Wang An, are not worthy of complete trust at this pass. When you leave Zhuo Yuan and go out, you must bring enough guards with you. ”

"Okay, little sister must keep it in mind."

Qing Yu Huaijin finally showed a faint smile, sweeping away the fatigue and depression of the past two years.

The brother and sister came outside the hall and looked side by side at the bright afternoon sunshine, just as they had been close since childhood.

Qing Yuzhongwang's eyes were calm and far-reaching, and he issued a sentence of emotion that Qing Yu Huaijin agreed with incomparably.

"We are the children of the Qingyu family, so naturally we can't disgrace our father, right?"

"Yes."
