The Surgeon's Guide to Survival in the Royal Palace, Section 147
"Brother Yan, although this mountain may be ambushed everywhere, but Wu Han should not divide the troops, we have no city to defend south of the Fen River, at this moment we are stationed on the edge of the Fen River, there is a fleet behind, it is okay to retreat back to Zhangzhou at any time, but once it goes deeper, it is not good for us."
Even if there is no map in front of him, the topographic map of this road to the capital has long been imprinted in the minds of several people here, Yan Yunzhou looked down at the fire in front of him, and raised his eyes for a while:
"In addition to the Jingshan Sanwei, Xiangzhou and Yuzhou are the two largest cities in the capital, but these two cities are not as lax as the defenders of Zhangzhou, but His Royal Highness must know that these two cities are less than three hundred miles away from the capital, Wu Han led 300,000 soldiers, if he didn't even dare to touch us and retreated directly, then he, the general, would be able to do it."
Whether it is Wu Han or Lu Liang, the holy decree they received is to exterminate the rebels, not to defend the capital, so Wu Han will definitely ambush in the mountains.
Yan Yunzhou gave Ning Yi another piece of rabbit meat and leaned back on the back of the chair:
"This is a good thing for us, with an army of 300,000 and a strong city, we may not be able to take advantage, but in this mountain, Wu Han doesn't want to take advantage either."
Ning blame doesn't know how to fight, he hasn't intervened, he has been trying to adjust his emotions in the past few days, he chews the meat in his mouth, it's not like the first time he came down from the battlefield and couldn't see the meat.
Although Yan Yunzhou was talking to Li Yan, he still paid attention to Ning Yan's reaction at all times, and all the leg meat he picked out was not greasy, and seeing that there was no nausea on his face, he finally let go of his heart.
Ning Ji did drink a little too much at night, boiled the water and mixed it with some hot water, took a bath and climbed onto the kang, he was indeed a little fresh, the kang burned in the afternoon, there was no feeling of burning his butt at this time, but there was residual heat, Yan Yunzhou's joints were not good, and his waist and legs were so hot and very comfortable.
But Ning was already strong-blooded, and after eating meat and drinking wine at night, he was a little sweaty at this time, and the quilt was kicked away, and one leg rode directly on Yan Yunzhou's leg, Yan Yunzhou turned around:
"Did you drink too much?"
Ning Ji hugged him, he really didn't drink less tonight:
"I'm a little dizzy, but not much."
"Are you hot? I'll go open the window. ”
Ning Ji pressed him:
"What's on, the wind in the mountains is cool this night, can you stand the cold now? I'm fine, it's good not to cover the quilt, this kang is quite friendly to your joints, and when I return to the palace later, I will also get one at home. ”
Yan Yunzhou noticed Ning's words, he said that he was doing it at home, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little smiling:
"Okay, listen to you."
Ning Qi was silent for a moment before speaking:
"This time in the mountains, we're going to have a head-to-head battle with the 300,000 army on the opposite side, right?"
Yan Yunzhou smiled:
"Which time is not a tough confrontation with them, don't worry, I have never been afraid of Lu Liang's 300,000 army, and Wu Han is the same, I already have a way."
Rather raise his eyes:
"What's the solution?"
Yan Yunzhou sold it to him, and Ning snorted:
"Why are you afraid of me telling the truth?"
There was a light on the low table next to the kang, and the room reflected a bit of warmth in the dim light, Yan Yunzhou turned to the side, his hand pulled the hair on Ning Qi's side, and there were two more points of ridicule in his eyes:
"Do you remember General Yan Hua of Weibei and General Shen Xing of Huwei?"
Why do these two names sound so familiar? After Ning Ji squinted his eyes slightly and turned the two names around in his mind, which was already a little dizzy, two rough men suddenly appeared in front of him, opening and closing his mouth to call him the princess, not only that, but also the word "cheap" on the letter.
Ning Blame raised his hand and twisted Yan Yunzhou's arm:
"You're embarrassed to mention it, cheap inside, I think you look like a cheap insider."
Yan Yunzhou was not annoyed by this, and there was a smile in his eyes:
"The last time the person who chased and killed you was sent out by the palace, he rushed to your life, and the idle soldiers will not be able to protect you, those two people are good at governing the army, although they have a friendship with me, but their qualifications are not shallow, and they are the general of the third grade, I will borrow five hundred soldiers to be modest, polite, don't be angry, and if you have the opportunity to meet again, you call me cheap in front of them, and find you back."
Rather ...... Not necessarily.
However, he heard the meaning of Yan Yunzhou's words:
"What do you mean to have another chance to meet? Are they in the opposing camp this time? ”
He still remembered that the last time he passed by the two people stationed was not far from the capital, and the imperial court had gathered 300,000 troops before, if they had been in that army, Yan Yunzhou should have mentioned it to him, but he didn't say it, which means that those two people should not be in it.
But in the last war, Yan Yunzhou won a big victory, so that the imperial court changed generals and gathered an army again, will there be these two old acquaintances this time? If they were really there, how would Yan Yunzhou treat them?
"The two battalions that the two of them are responsible for have always been to protect the Beijing Division, but there are not many soldiers and horses that can be drawn from the DPRK and China this time, and we crossed the Fen River, and the imperial court began to be afraid, so half of the troops of these two battalions were transferred to reinforce it."
"The two of them are here too?"
Yan Yunzhou nodded, Ning was a little speechless, and only spoke after a while:
"Can you persuade me to surrender?"
Yan Yunzhou stroked his hair:
"As early as when we had not yet raised troops, Li Qi ordered to bring the families of the soldiers around Gyeonggi and even the neighboring north to the capital."
Ning Qi suddenly remembered this, it was calculated that he had heard such a holy decree not long after he arrived in the north, after all, Yan Yunzhou had been in the army for many years, although he was in the north, but there were inevitably few generals along the way who had close contacts with him, or some reverence, Li Qi's move was to eliminate the possibility of these generals turning against the water.
"So, this time we are going to meet each other?"
Yan Yunzhou also sighed a little in his heart, but he was not too pessimistic:
"Yan Hua is from a poor family, an old bachelor, there is only one widowed sister-in-law left in the family, Li Qi's recruitment naturally does not fall on other people's widowed sisters-in-law, this time he has no family in Beijing, I left someone in Beijing, and I secretly had contact before I crossed the river."
Ning Qi hurriedly asked:
"What did he say?"
Yan Yunzhou smiled:
"Guess?"
"What do I guess, I guess? Say it. ”
"This kind of thing is followed by the work of losing his head, he dares to take risks and will not lead his brothers to take risks with him."
"Is that to release water?"
Yan Yunzhou shook his head again:
"I don't need him to release water, and I don't need him to lead troops to surrender, I just need to deploy troops."
Ning Yao's eyes widened in vain, and he set up troops? He also looked at the map and knew that after crossing the Fen River, it was all mountainous, and such a place was different from the plains, and the limited field of vision meant that people on both sides had more opportunities to explore and show their means.
"Can he believe what he gives?"
After all, it's the hearts of the people who are separated from the belly, and this kind of thing can't be verified until the battlefield, what if the other party plays a yin game? What Yan Yunzhou was worried about, he naturally thought clearly:
"So, just one Yan Hua is naturally not enough."
"How many high-level spies do you have over there?"
The word senior spy made Yan Yunzhou laugh:
"There are not a few, how can there be so many old bachelors in these years, the whole family is in the capital, who dares to really rebel, but Li Qi has done everything, but he forgot that the generals in the barracks are important, but the vanguard below is also important.
Over the years, the military department has been in the hands of Wei Changhe, and he has eaten up the oil and water, and the generals above know that he is fed, but the soldiers below are suffering, and the Tuntian army in some places not only cannot pay food, but even the land in his hands has been occupied by the local magnates. ”
Ning Qi didn't feel good in his heart after listening to it, and secretly scolding Li Qi was really stupid, but he also understood what Yan Yunzhou meant:
"You mean to contact some of the generals below?"
Yan Yunzhou smiled and shook his head:
"The soldiers below may not know much, what I want to contact is those hundred and thousands of households, they are not high-grade generals, most of them are from poor families, there will be no family members living in the capital, even in the capital, Li Qi has no time to look for those families of thousands and hundreds of households one by one.
Although they are not of high rank, they will not know Wu Han's entire battle plan, but they are the actual executors, and I only need to launch a part of Wu Han's troops to have a chance of winning. ”
He looked at Ning Yi and then continued to speak:
"If this method is used once or twice, Wu Han will find that he will be suspicious of the generals and soldiers under him, and once he starts to be suspicious, the army's spirit will be dispersed."
Even Ning Ji had to sigh that Yan Yunzhou was indeed born to fight, and psychological warfare was understood by him.
"Admire, the prince is really like a god."
Yan Yunzhou smiled, and his hand suddenly raised and pinched Ning Qi's face:
"Don't be in a hurry to admire, I haven't said what you admire even more."
Ning Yi was a little speechless by this person's childish appearance:
"Yes, yes, the prince continues."
The corners of Yan Yunzhou's eyes and eyebrows were all smiling, his lips were light and a little high-spirited, and the pale and sickly color on his face was diluted a lot:
"You and I, the king of the opposite sex who has been feared by the emperor for seven years, are you a paper paste, and the battle in the north for so many years has been fought in vain? This Fen River is a demarcation point, we have not fought the Fen River before, many people may still be waiting, now that we have crossed the Fen River, closer and closer to the Beijing Division, naturally there are people who have begun to lose confidence in the imperial court, not to mention ......"
Saying this, he suddenly paused, and Ning squinted, listening to him brag:
"And what? Go on. ”
Yan Yunzhou's gaze fell on Ning Qi's face:
"Besides, a few days ago, I had already ordered someone to write a book of words in the battle by the Fen River, and the power of TNT was written as if a god descended to the earth, and Luo Yueli even asked people to write the burning of the ships of the Qingyang Lake Navy as a curse, and it will be lively and lively outside in a few days."
Ning was dumbfounded by these remarks:
"You wrote me in?"
"Naturally, I didn't, I just talked about the artillery fire."
How could Yan Yunzhou let Ning Ji get involved, he knew that Ning Ji didn't care about the so-called military merits, how could he let the eyes of others focus on him, which would only increase the danger.
Ning Yi sighed deeply, this person is not only fighting psychological warfare, but also fighting public opinion warfare.
But listening to Yan Yunzhou's words, he can finally relax a little in his heart, as long as there is a chance of winning, Yan Yunzhou does not have to go to the battlefield He will be content, at this time, it is impossible for him not to let Yan Yunzhou not worry, he just cares about him more.
After all, the time of calm was short-lived, and the confrontation between the two armies was inevitable, and Ning Yi accompanied Yan Yunzhou to the big tent:
"Brother Yan."
"Lord Wang."
Yan Yunzhou handed the news sent by the secret guard to Li Yan, it was nothing else, it was Yan Hua's secret letter, very short and only one sentence:
"Tiger head Baiyun Ridge, sparrows are divided into four directions."
Ning Ji also glanced at the letter, but he didn't understand it, he glanced sideways at Yan Yunzhou and asked directly:
"What do you mean?"
In the battle of Fenhe a few days ago, Ning Yao's status in the army skyrocketed, and a room of generals had no opinion on him sitting next to Yan Yunzhou and directly asking such a secret letter, and even Li Han came up to explain to Ning Qi in view of the trouble yesterday:
"The tiger head is the meaning of the main force, the sparrow is a small army, the meaning of this letter is that the main force is in Baiyunling, and there is the Fourth Route Army to encircle and outflank the main force."
