321. Joy comes from the river
Chao Lei entered the tent and immediately bowed: "Your Majesty, great joy!"
Da Ji is born?
No, there are still a few months left, just after a defeat, I went home to watch my son be born.
"Where does the joy come from?" Zi Shouhu asked.
Chao Lei looked adoring: "Your Majesty is clever, strategizing thousands of miles away, and happiness does come from the river!"
Zishou: "?"
"Your Majesty has been stationed in Maweipo for a long time, and the horses are all over the place, and three of the spies went deep into the valley and searched south, and found a river that was not indicated on the map, and along the river they found the last general eight hundred miles away, and the last general sent people down this unknown river to the hinterland of Echeng!"
Chao Lei was as excited as a flood that burst the embankment: "Although Your Majesty's march has been delayed for some time, if you follow this undercurrent, you will definitely arrive earlier, if it is not for Your Majesty's wisdom to camp here and send people to search, it is impossible to find this undercurrent!"
Fang Xiang suddenly realized that His Majesty was holding his troops in order to find a faster undercurrent.
The map of the south was provided by E Chongyu, and there is such an undercurrent that can go straight to the hinterland, how can he draw it on the map?
Wouldn't that directly expose the nest to other people's noses?
Fang Bi secretly marveled, one or two undercurrents hindered the march at most, but maybe there would be many deliberately distorted terrain!
If they go to those places where the records are wrong, the army will only go slower than it is now!
If it weren't for Your Majesty slowing down the march, something would have happened!
No wonder His Majesty has repeatedly delayed the pace of the march!
Zishou: "....."
It's common for the map to be inaccurate, but what's the extra undercurrent?
Zishou coughed lightly, it's not a big problem, I still have a trick: "These undercurrents have not been discovered before, and they are not recorded on the map, I am afraid that there will be danger, so I still march according to the previous route, although it is a surprise attack, but it is also safer." ”
Chao Lei did not agree: "Your Majesty is looking down on the sailors? Although our sailor generals are not good at swimming, they are good at the art of handling boats, and the last general is willing to guarantee with his head and make a military order, if a boat is sunk, he is willing to die, and he will never regret it!"
Chao Lei has the courage to speak ruthlessly, if they want to rush on the river, pursue, and fight, they may not be very good, but when it comes to the stability of the boat, there is no other in the world.
Because they can't swim, they value their lives more than anyone else, and the boat is a little faster, and they are prone to vomiting.
"It's not that I can't trust you, but I'm not in a hurry. Zishou hurriedly dissuaded: "I have sent people to increase the troops, and now that the reinforcements have not arrived, how can I march easily?"
Chao Lei was stunned, what reinforcements do you need for the surprise attack?
The ships are limited, and even if there are reinforcements, they have to be transported in batches, and when this batch of soldiers is transported, they abandon the boat and travel by land, and the sailors lead the ships back, just when the reinforcements arrive, and then the second transport, isn't it just right?
Your Majesty is confused!
Fang Xiang suddenly shouted, excited: "The last general understands! Your Majesty wants to hide people's eyes and ears! That undercurrent can go straight into the hinterland, Eshun thieves, must have sent people to pay attention, now our army has been stationed in Maweipo for many days, Eshun has probably learned the news, only because of Echongyu's new funeral, there are too many affairs to take care of, can only send a small number of horses to see from afar, if the army starts broadcasting, march from Maweipo, down the undercurrent, even if it is far away, you can find clues, Eshun will definitely send people to intercept!"
Fang Bi took over the words and followed: "But if there are more reinforcements, you can use the reinforcements as a cover, let the reinforcements gradually replace the army, and let the reinforcements continue to be stationed in Maweipo to attract Eshun's exploration horses, and Your Majesty will lead the army down the river to come by surprise!"
"No one could have imagined that the army stationed in Ma Weipo was actually a reinforcement of soldiers and horses that were gradually converging, and by the time Eshun reacted, His Majesty was only afraid that the troops had already arrived under Echeng!
Zishou chuckled in his heart, why did Fang Xiang and Fang Bi have such brains?
It's not a big problem, keep dragging.
After another half a month, reinforcements will gradually arrive, so it's okay, if Wen Zhong, Lu Xiong and others in the court also think like Fang Xiang and Fang Bi, then their idea of deliberately defeating the battle can be discovered later.
Even if in the end, the army had to march, it had already dragged on for a long time, lost the effect of the surprise attack, the prestige of the troops was greatly reduced, and the advance was easy to lose.
Thinking of this, Zishou looked unfathomable: "When the reinforcements arrive, I will give another order, and the three generals will go down to rest first and recuperate." ”
The three people who didn't know what was going on exited the tent, and they secretly praised it in their hearts.
The strategy of the temple on that day is only the general trend of the war before the war marches, and the specific way to march and how to start the war must be judged according to the situation on the ground.
Although the king has no experience in marching, he has to be taught by the king first, and he already has the ability to march and fight on the battlefield, and he has made the most correct deployment according to the actual situation.
.............
Zhang Youren came to Yuedi.
The carriage was bumpy, he endured it, the food was not delicious, he endured it, wanted to go to the toilet, and endured it.
In short, he endured everything along the way, and never said a word.
The entourage all felt strange, they had never seen such a friendly courtier, but when they thought of Zhang Youren's deeds in the court, they all knew it in their hearts.
It's really bearable!
Yuedi seems to be in the period of martial law at war, the city defense is extremely strict, to the city gate, Zhang Youren took out the Xuanniao jade pendant and the edict, opened his hand and raised it, signaling the entourage to show the things to the guard.
There was already an order for the envoy to go one step ahead of them, and inform the king of Yue about the arrival of the envoy, and he should not be troubled.
The city gate guard looked at it, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and took a few soldiers to greet Zhang Youren in person.
The guard raised his hand to signal, the soldier led the entourage, and he personally led Zhang Youren:
"I have heard the name of the merchant envoy for a long time, and I am courteous. ”
Zhang Youren: "...."
The guard arched his hand for a long time, and he didn't see the other party reply, he was annoyed in his heart, and put down his hand, although I am a janitor, but you also have to talk about the basic etiquette, right?
The envoy representing the king of Zhou, with this attitude?
Fortunately, King Yue was prepared.
The guard was silent: "The merchant envoy, please follow this future." ”
The group walked to the city gate, and Zhang Youren was raising his feet to enter the city gate, but was stopped.
"Wait, your door is here. ”
The guard stretched out his hand and pointed to the small hole that had been opened next to the gate, about five feet high, and an adult had to bend his back to enter.
You can faintly hear the barking of dogs behind the cave.
Dog hole?
The attendants looked at each other, people passed through the city gate, and dogs passed through the dog holes, didn't this make it clear that they were scolded as dogs?
"Get in!"
The guard chuckled, and without waiting for the retinue to react, let the soldiers press them down and force them into the hole.
"Envoy, please. ”
The guard bent down slightly and took a gesture of please.
Zhang Youren looked at the dog hole, scolded himself for being a dog, and wanted to drill the dog hole by himself, which was very humiliating.
Endure it.
I've endured a lot of things in this life, but that's it.
He bowed down and leaned into the cave, but as soon as he had taken a few steps, a thug on the other side of the cave beat the dog and stood at the entrance of the cave, with his legs spread and his crotch facing the hole.
In other words, if Zhang Youren wants to drill through the hole, he must drill through the crotch of the gangster.
Zhang Youren is not advancing, nor is he retreating.
The guard looked at this scene with a smile.
The big business is no longer the strong big businessman!
What is the mere business envoy?
Do you dare to put on a face in front of me? Why, am I not worthy to talk to you?
Surprisingly, Zhang Youren did not hesitate much.
The thug hadn't washed his body for a long time, and the sour smell of sweat mixed with the rancid smell and the fishy smell under his crotch that was difficult to hide.
Everything was close at hand, Zhang Youren only adjusted his breathing slightly, then bent down, and even walked through the dog hole and drilled through the crotch with both hands on the ground.
The guard looked stunned, how dare this merchant envoy?
If it was just him who was humiliated, the merchant envoy held the Xuanniao jade pendant, representing the king of Zhou, which was undoubtedly a loss for the king of Zhou!
After a moment's delay, the guards entered the city and introduced Zhang Youren into the palace.
Looking at Zhang Youren, who looked like he was speechless as usual, the guard general couldn't help but feel worried, this person was very deep in the city, and he was humiliated like a nobody, and he didn't know if King Yue's arrangement was still useful.
