In the north of Dingzhou, the small city of Ruiyang.

Now Jing Jun has managed the walled fort system at the southern end of the Dingfeng Tunnel like an iron bucket, and countless grains and grasses are transported from the rear through the Dingfeng Tunnel and stored in those walled forts.

Qing Yugong brought a large number of staff and strategists into Ruiyang City, and nearly 50,000 Jing troops began to deploy to the south under his command, and the rest of the troops were responsible for staying behind in the walled fort, besieging Fengqiu City, and guarding against the Seven Star Army in Baotai Mountain in the northeast.

In the lobby of the Provisional Marshal's Mansion, a group of generals of the Jing Army discussed a lot, and the focus of the dispute was whether it was necessary to gather heavy troops to solve the hidden dangers in Baotai Mountain before the army went south.

Qing Yu was obviously accustomed to this kind of atmosphere, and he also knew that his father could often find new ideas in the disputes between these military generals.

In addition to Qingyu's father and son, there are two generals in the hall who have never said a word, they are Daxiang Yinyin, who commanded the battle of Jiuquzhai, and Daxiang Yintuo Manulu, who sat opposite him.

On the eighth day of November, the main force of the Jing army went south along the Dingfeng Road to attack Jiuqu Village, and then occupied Swallow Fort, Baishan Fort, Changlin Village and other places one after another, completing the occupation of the Zhaibao system at the southern end of the Dingfeng Road. Our Feiyun Army, under the leadership of the main general Song Shifei, retreated to Fengqiu City to hold on to wait for help, and fortunately helped the Seven Star Army of the Northern Righteous Army on the way, and threw off the pursuit of the Jing Army. ”

In the festival hall of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion in Mengshan City, Li Liangyu put away the military newspaper and looked at his father who was leaning on the Taishi's chair with some concern.

After a cough, he spread out a blank piece of music and picked up his pen.

"Chen Li Tianrunqi: At present, the war situation in northern Xinjiang is entangled repeatedly, the enemy army is large, covering the sky and the sun, and our border army is confined to the border for a long time and is controlled everywhere. If you want to reverse the passive and unfavorable situation, you can only live after death. The ministers are tired of receiving the emperor's grace, and only the idea of serving the country and being loyal to the monarch can not live up to the duties of the prince and governor of the county. ”

Li Tianrun bowed slightly, and still advised: "No one can fight hungry, military food and grass are the top priority, you must not take it lightly." In addition, you are to gather within a month the grain and grass of the army of 70,000 for two months, and send it to the Western Front in batches. ”

Li Liangyu was stunned.

Qing Yugong also made detailed arrangements for the next movements of the various armies, and the military discussions were back on track.

Later, Li Tianrun returned to the study and sat quietly in front of the window.

Qing Yugong approvingly: "Okay, you are responsible for the matter of contacting the Seven Star Gang." ”

Li Liangyu's eyes were slightly red, and in the end he could only salute and say, "Obey." ”

"Read."

Tuoman Ulu said angrily: "Lord, the last general knows that it is difficult for that bandit army to rely on the geographical advantage, and the former servant San'en even lost his life in the mountains. But they also have a fatal weakness, that is, they need to protect tens of thousands of old and weak women and children who have no combat power. In the eyes of the last general, there is no need to storm Baotai Mountain, but only to target the relatives they must protect, so that they are too busy to peep at our army. The last general had a lot of experience in this kind of purge, and there were similar examples of battles when he pacified Zhao before. If the prince decides to clean up those bandits, the end will not disappoint the prince. ”

Yet even this vast silence was so precious to him.

After the winter, Li Tianrun's condition gradually worsened, even if there was a current doctor like Xue Huaiyi watching, he could not recover as before, after all, there will be an end to manpower in any era.

This is Li Liangyu's duty, he hurriedly responded: "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, everything is in order, the third batch of grain and grass raised by the imperial court has been transported to Pingyang Mansion, and the lower officials are in the process of deploying and transporting, which will definitely not affect the use of front-line soldiers." ”

"The internal environment of the Baotai Mountains is very complicated, but there are only two ways to enter, one is the trail on the east side of Henan Road, and the other is the road in the northeast direction where we are now. In other words, there are only two ways for the Seven Star Army to get out of the mountain. The last general thinks that he can temporarily withdraw the scouts, hold these two exits, and at the same time send people to Baotai Mountain to befriend Lin Jie, whether it is false or wrong, or a large amount of money, Lin Jie is unlikely to refuse directly, unless he does not take the lives of the old and weak women and children of the Seven Star Gang seriously. ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang was slightly puzzled: "Height? ”

Qing Yugong said indifferently: "What do you think our army will do next?" ”

Li Tianrun temporarily stopped writing, looking at the desolate winter courtyard outside the window, and a touch of greed quietly appeared in his eyes.

"The Qi army is different from the Zhao army, they have been sharp and victorious in the first two years, and the first battle on the battlefield of Dingzhou will definitely be very tragic, so our army must be psychologically prepared and do our best to win. Although the governor of Southern Qi Dingzhou is Li Jingda, judging from the current situation, the real coach must be Xiao Wangzhi. If the Qi army loses the first battle, Xiao Wangzhi's ability will definitely be able to win the hearts of the army, and the Qi army that has experienced setbacks may be even more difficult, and at that time, our army will have to act carefully. ”

Although he is a civilian official of the Governor's Office, he is obviously no stranger to military affairs.

"On November 14, Governor Xiao ordered the transfer of the Zhenbei and Guangling armies from Yongquan Pass to Dingzhou. On the 16th, after a hurried rest, the various units of the Dingzhou Army went north to the north of Ruyin City to form a second line of defense. However, the Jingjun had already occupied Dingfeng Dao and the five cities in the north of Dingzhou, and only Fengqiu City was still under the control of the Feiyun Army. At present, it is speculated that Jing Guoqing's goal is to temporarily focus on the central part of Dingzhou, with Ruyin City as the top priority, and the two armies of Ding and Huai will join forces to resist the enemy. ”

Qing Yugong raised his eyes and swept over the two of Tuoman Ulu and Bone Destroyer, and asked lightly, "What do you think?" ”

Outside the window, the twilight dissolves.

……

"Governor Dadu, this is a military report jointly sent by Governor Xiao of Huaizhou and Governor Li of Dingzhou."

Destroying the bones immediately got up and responded, although the Tuoman Ulu on the opposite side was not very happy, but he would definitely not compete in front of Qing Yugong.

"Go on."

Qing Yugong bowed slightly.

Qing Yu Zhongwang knew that this was an examination school, but in fact, he had been thinking about this question these days, so he calmly replied: "Father, my son thinks that we must do our best first and then retract five points of strength. ”

Qing Yu Zhongwang did not pretend to shirk.

Generally speaking, there is no imminent danger in the Jingzhou defense line, and Li Liangyu is not worried about the brave and good soldiers on the front line, but because of Li Tianrun's physical condition.

If this battle can be won, it can indeed relieve the pressure on the border army of Daqi, but Li Liangyu didn't dare to think about it, with his father's current physical condition, how could he insist on commanding a big battle that drained his heart's work?

His lips twitched, and he tried to dissuade him.

Qing Yugong was noncommittal, and looked at the bone-destroying ground and asked, "What about you?" ”

There is no doubt that this is Qing Yuzhongwang's experience in witnessing the battle of Jiuquzhai commanded by the bone-destroying land.

Qing Yugong swallowed the green vegetables in his mouth and said calmly: "I have grown a little better than before, but the height is not enough." ”

"On November 12, the Dingzhou Army and the Huaizhou Pingshan Army launched a siege of 20,000 enemy troops on the Leize Plain. Our army won this battle, annihilating and capturing more than 14,000 enemy troops, and the enemy's main general, Mou Lianghu, led 1,000 of his own soldiers to die, and only more than 4,000 people fled back to Teng County. According to statistics after the war, except for the personal soldiers of Mou Lianghu, most of the annihilated and captured by our army were Yan troops, and the more than 4,000 people who fled were basically Jing troops. ”

A few days later, early in the morning, Qing Yugong had a simple breakfast, looked up at Qing Yuzhongwang who was standing respectfully and solemnly, pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit down and eat." ”

"Thinking back to the eve of the Battle of Mengshan, His Majesty and his ministers discussed for a long time, and the scene at that time was vivid. At present, the strong enemy is attacking as it was back then, although the minister is sick and disabled, he is still willing to offer advice in front of the emperor and lead the army in front of the battle to solve the danger of the frontier and bless the rivers and mountains of Daqi. ”

Seeing this, Extinction continued: "Now that our army's primary target is Dingzhou, it is best to continue to clear the obstacles on the way south. ”

The 70,000 army needed two months of food and grass, which meant that Li Tianrun was ready to change the state of passive defense and launch a battle on the western front of Jingzhou.

There is no problem with this strategy on the surface, after all, the main force of the Jing army is now in the north of Dingzhou, and the main enemy on the Jingzhou side is still the Yan army led by Niu Cunjie, the general of the Northern Yan.

Regardless of who is stronger on the frontal battlefield, at least in the Baotai Mountain system, a small number of Jingjun scouts are not the opponents of the Seven Star Gang's Green Forest heroes at all, and the other party is ruthless, but any Jingjun scouts who are caught will not be able to come back alive.

"Why?"

The magnates of the Jing Dynasty are well known, and there are seven great auspicious people under the command of Qing Yugong who can fight well, and these seven people each have more than 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers.

Li Tianrun didn't give him a chance to persuade, and said undoubtedly: "Go down and do things." ”

Li Tianrun pondered for a long time and said slowly: "How is the logistics situation?" ”

The spring, summer, autumn and winter of this world, the vicissitudes of life, finally turned into a vastness.

Now that the situation on the frontier is gradually becoming clearer, the Jing army has completed the breakthrough of Dingfeng Road, and it is logical to continue to attack all parts of Dingzhou.

The reason for this discussion today is that the scouts sent to Baotai Mountain reported that when they entered the outlying areas to inquire for information, they were hunted by the Seven Star Army.

Qing Yugong's eyes gradually rose in the snow, as if there was the shadow of an old man, and said word by word: "Don't limit your eyes to one city and one place, you can't only have a fixed enemy in your heart." ”

Since the beginning of the war, the enemy army seems to be in full swing, but in fact, it has only achieved some results near Gaotang City on the Western Front, as well as the cavalry of the Jing Army that entered the territory of Jingzhou to attack and harass the people. But these cavalry did not dare to go deeper, it was nothing more than scratching their boots, and a few days ago, Li Bingxue Feishu reported that the Feiyu Army had driven these Jingjun cavalry back, and the various departments of the Jingzhou Army re-tied the border fence.

"Yes, Father."

He groaned in a bone-destroying voice: "Lord Wang, the last general thinks that the Seven Star Army will not move without permission. Although they accepted Nanqi's recruitment, their relationship with Nanqi was not close, and they should consider their own interests first. The last general checked the relevant information, this seven-star army was born from the Seven Star Gang, the largest gang in the Northland Green Forest, and the establishment of the Seven Star Gang was due to the harsh taxes and perverse practices of the Qi State government back then. From this, it can be seen that the Seven Star Gang and the Southern Qi Border Army are not the same, and they are targets that can be temporarily shelved. ”

Under his command, Jing's army gradually encroached on the northern part of Dingzhou, and Qing Yuzhong hoped that there was no task of leading troops these days, so he served Qing Yugong wholeheartedly in the temporary marshal's palace.

Jingzhou's side is in the stalemate stage, and the Yanjing coalition forces have a slight advantage, of course, this is Li Tianrun's strategy to deliberately paralyze the other party.

He smiled lightly, shook his head again, and his eyes returned to calm and resolute.

Pick up the pen again, all in one go.
