Commander's tent.

Dozens of high-ranking generals gathered here, all with gloomy faces.

After working hard for so long, I thought that I could catch the Yuan army and kill the Quartet, receive rewards for meritorious service, and seal my wife and son, but I didn't even see a single hair of the Yuan people, and my mood can be imagined.

In the handsome position, Lan Yu's brows became the word 'Chuan', and the muscles of his face twitched from time to time, obviously trying his best to suppress his bad mood.

Li Qing came to his place and sat down, waited for a while, and saw no one speak, so he asked:

"Marshal, what is the situation ahead?"

Lan Yu sighed and glanced at the soldiers standing beside him, "Tell them about it." ”

"Yes, Marshal." The soldier arched his hand, and then hugged his fist at the crowd, and then said, "There is no one ahead of me." ”

Although they knew that the news was so, it was still difficult for everyone to accept it when they heard it again.

I only heard the soldier continue, "According to the survey, there are indeed traces of a large number of Yuan troops stationed in the front, not only many abandoned and dilapidated tents, but also found this. ”

As he spoke, he took out a large piece of bright yellow cloth from his bosom, although it had faded a lot after weathering, it could still be seen in its original color.

Yellow, which is not something that everyone can use, is self-evident what it represents.

Li Qing frowned, in this way, Naier didn't lie, and the map given was also very reliable, but the problem now is that people have moved their nests.

The main force of the Yuan army is a large number, but the vast desert northern grassland, if you want to find them, the difficulty is not ordinary.

"Dashuai, what should I do now?" The atmosphere of the camp was too dull, Li Qing didn't want to spend it like this anymore, so he took the initiative to speak, "You have an idea!" ”

Lan Yu was impetuous, and had been holding back the evil fire, and when she saw Li Qing throwing the pot, she was even more angry, and immediately returned to color:

"What do you think?"

"......" Li Qing didn't want to shake the pot, he just felt that instead of being so dull, it was better to think of a way to come out, so he didn't refuse, "This supervisor thinks that this matter has to be reported to the emperor." ”

If you are undecided, look for Lao Zhu!

He continued, "Order a light cavalry to return to Beiping immediately, one person and four horses, change horses without stopping, starry night, it will not take half a month to arrive, and then let the post station 800 miles expedited, and it will not take ten days to arrive in Beijing."

Added back and forth, one and a half months is enough, and our army has abundant food and grass, and it can be completely consumed. ”

At this time, it is absolutely impossible to say the words of retreating, the morale is already low, and once the withdrawal is advocated, the morale of the army will be dispersed, and it will no longer be able to organize.

This battle cost a lot of money, and he couldn't afford it.

Not only him, but no one dared to retreat lightly, including Lan Yu.

"It's been too long." Lan Yu rejected this proposal, "There is no shortage of grain and grass, but if the garrison is for a month and a half, where is there still morale?" ”

The enemy has not been found, and you still care about morale?

Li Qing was speechless, but in front of the generals, it was not good for him to not get off the stage, so he had to be silent.

After a while, a vanguard general spoke: "Commander, the last general thinks ...... What Li Jianjun said is reasonable, such a major matter must be truthfully reported to the emperor. ”

The implication is to throw the pot out.

After losing the battle, the generals will not be able to escape the blame, but the enemy will not blame them for moving their nests.

"Marshal, the last general also thinks that Li Jianjun is reasonable, and the matter is serious, and he must not deceive the emperor."

The other Lord will speak, and there is a faint sense of alarm in his words.

"The last general also agreed with Li Jianjun's proposal."

"The last general also agrees, hide from the sky and the earth, and can't hide it from the emperor."

Lan Yu's face was even more ugly, how could he not hear the meaning of the words, and if he didn't tell the emperor, he would be a bully.

But this is not the result he wants, the fighter plane is fleeting, not to mention making him wait for more than a month, even if he can be exempted from responsibility according to Li Qing's strategy, he doesn't want to.

He, Lan Yu, is here to win the battle, not to travel to the grassland.

If the emperor knew, eighty percent would let the class teacher, and would never let the 150,000 army wander aimlessly on the grassland.

But this is his only chance to prove himself, and if he misses this opportunity, the next decisive battle will be in the year and month, and the ghost will know.

If he goes back like this, will the emperor use him next time?

Lan Yu was too eager for victory, he had waited too long, he had suppressed it for too long, how many days and nights had he stayed up for this Northern Expedition, how could he give up?

But at the moment, the vast majority of the generals agree with Li Qing's idea, even if he is the coach, he can't ignore the opinions of the generals.

A heavyweight has to be pulled...... Lan Yu looked at Li Jinglong, and for the first time his attitude was kind, even with a hint of flattery:

"Vice Marshal Li, Ling Zunben Shuai is a person to admire." Lan Yu added in his heart: One.

He smiled gently: "The tiger father has no dogs, Vice Marshal Li is influenced by the King of Qiyang, and the art of war and battle strategy must be handy, and the current situation is ...... What is Vice Marshal Li's opinion? ”

Li Jinglong was stunned.

Li Qing's eyes were also straight, he didn't expect that he could have such a side with a blue jade, it was simply ...... Outrageous.

But no matter what, Lan Yu's words made Li Jinglong very useful.

Li Jinglong smiled reservedly, "The handsome man is too famous, I have only learned a dime a dozen of my father's strategies, how can I talk about it?" ”

After a pause, "But...... Since it is a matter of discussion, the deputy marshal is not easy to hide his secrets, if there is something inappropriate in his words, I hope you will not laugh at it. ”

Li Wenzhong's prestige is too high, and the generals dare not slack off, even if they don't give face to Vice Marshal Li, they have to give face to the old Guogong, and hurriedly be polite.

After a while, Li Jinglong, under the urging of the generals, slowly spoke: "I thought that I couldn't garrison the army, once the army was garrisoned, the morale would be dispersed!"

The army must be given something to do! It is not even possible to make public the news of the enemy's move. ”

Pretty!

Lan Yu had never seen Li Jinglong so pleasing to the eye, and immediately guided, "For example, ......? ”

Looking at Lan Yu's appearance of seeking advice, Li Jinglong's mood was even more beautiful, and he chuckled: "Yuanren has escaped, but we can find it!" ”

Li Qing was embarrassed, and said in his heart: "As soon as I had a better impression of you, you began to make stupid moves, which is easy to say, but such a prairie, where to find it?" ”

"Vice Marshal Li is right." Lan Yu praised, "The tiger father has no dogs, and the tiger father has no dogs!" ”

The coach and deputy coach sang and harmonized, and reached a strange balance with the original dominant dumping faction.

However, Lan Yu also understood that this was only temporary, and once Li Jinglong turned against him, the situation would be out of his control again, so he immediately said: "In this way, the army will be stationed for a day to rest!" ”

After a pause, his face was gloomy and he said: "We have given a death order to the light cavalry troops who inquired about the news, and we must not disclose a single thing, if anyone pokes out the matter of the Yuanren moving the nest and messes with our army's heart, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Immediately, he smiled again, "Of course, how to deal with it still needs to be discussed again, so you can step back first, and the commander and Deputy Marshal Li and Li Jianjun will discuss it well." ”

The generals looked at each other and nodded helplessly: "The last general will retire." ”

After everyone left, Lan Yu smiled all over his face, "Li Jianjun, we haven't drunk it well after marching for so long, since the main force of the Yuan people is not clear, we have to have a good drink today." ”

Li Qingxin said: "I can't eat people and don't have a soft mouth, besides, you will use this to test the prison army?" ”

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, people are so polite, he can't shake his face and leave, and said with a smile: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

……

After a small hour, the wine and meat were all together, and the three of them raised their glasses to drink, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

With a jar of wine in his stomach, Lan Yu entered the topic: "The emperor's grace is vast, and the Northern Expedition costs so much, if there is no achievement, it is really a negative grace, what face do you have to go back to see the emperor?" ”

I'm thick-skinned...... Li Qing smiled and didn't speak.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Lan Yu poured him wine with his own hands, and his attitude became more and more affectionate.

Lan Yu understands that if he wants to suppress the generals, the only way to make the generals have nothing to say can he say if he pulls Li Qing over, the commander, the deputy marshal, and the supervising army, unify their voices, and advance and retreat together.

"Dashuai is right!" Li Jinglong followed and persuaded.

Balabala......

He didn't want to return in vain, his father gave him this opportunity at the cost of his lifespan, he didn't want his father to pay in vain, and he didn't want people to look down on him, thinking that he was just relying on his father's shadow.

He wants the world to know that he, Li Jinglong, is also a soldier!

Lan Yu and Li Jinglong, although they have formed a big bond before, but now the two have the same goal and are unprecedentedly united, which makes Li Qing a little shaken.

"Alas......!" Li Qing sighed heavily: "The emperor's grace is mighty, how can Li want to live up to the emperor, however, the current situation is ...... The grassland is vast, and if you want to find the main force of the Yuan army, the chances are too slim! ”

Lan Yu's eyes lit up and asked, "What if Ben Shuai has a clear direction?" ”

"Oh?" Li Qing's spirits perked up, and he immediately shook his head and smiled, "I can understand the mood of the big handsome, but I have to think about the 150,000 army, right?" ”

"No, Ben Shuai really has a clear direction." Lan Yu's eyes were clear, "I know where the Yuan people have gone." ”

"Where?"

"Desert ahead!"

"Why?" Li Qing asked.

Lan Yu pondered the wording and said: "Naier Buhua was successfully recruited last winter, and this time the map was searched from the envoy of the Northern Yuan Emperor at that time, and it is unknown what the envoy ended up, but it is likely that Naier Buhua was killed, at least it will not be returned." ”

After a pause, "As soon as the envoy is gone, the Northern Yuan Emperor must have doubts, and he will definitely let people inquire about the news again.

There are no traces of battle, and the celebration of Zhao'an will more or less leave traces of the Ming army, therefore, Nai'er does not spend the matter of being recruited, the other party must know, and this will be in a hurry to move the nest. ”

"Dashuai's reason is a bit far-fetched, even if Nai'er doesn't accept Zhao'an, and is known by the Northern Yuan Emperor, they will definitely go to the desert?" Li Qing shook his head and said, "Wouldn't it be better to choose a fertile grassland again?" ”

"No, you're wrong!" Lan Yu affirmed, "They will definitely go to the desert." ”

"Dashuai, you're too arbitrary."

"Listen to me." Lan Yu continued to analyze, "The main force of the Yuan people is so close to the desert in order to hide in the desert for the Ming army to consume when the Ming army arrives.

When the Northern Yuan Emperor learned that his subordinates had returned to the Ming Dynasty and that there was a great possibility of revealing their positions, he would definitely implement the strategy he had prepared for the first time. ”

Lan Yu looked serious: "Where the Yuan army camp is, there are so abandoned tents, how can you explain it?"

They must have been afraid that the Ming army would kill them, and in a panic, they didn't have time to clean it up. ”

"Li Jianjun, think about it, when people are panicked, will they choose the abdominal case that has been prepared for a long time, or will they find a new way?"

Li Jinglong was convinced, at this moment, he was really convinced by Lan Yu, and he was convinced.

Li Qing was also silent, it is undeniable that what Lan Yu said is well-founded and very probable, but... After all, this is just Lan Yu's speculation, and it is unknown how it is.

An army of 150,000 entered the desert, and once it got lost, the consequences were unimaginable.

"Handsome ......"

"Li Jianjun!" Lan Yu's eyes burned, "Our army has plenty of food and grass, what are you afraid of, what can you think of, how can I not think of it?"

Do you think that I, Lanyu, will put 150,000 troops to death for my own selfishness? ”

Li Qing was silent again for a long time, and slowly spoke: "Okay, I believe you once, but don't go too deep." ”

"That's nature." Sapphire agreed.

Li Qing sighed lightly and said secretly: "In history, Lan Yu won this battle, but now that the accident has changed so much, will it still win?" ”
