The sun is shining, there is not a single dark cloud in the blue sky, and there is a faint sense of calm in the emptiness and distance.

The black carriage drove slowly on the vast wasteland under this heaven and earth, and the red flying fish flag was also swaying slightly with the wind.

In the stable carriage, Su Shan leaned on the soft couch, closed his eyes to recuperate, Xiao Yu'er sat beside him, with a little joy on her charming face, and reported to him what had happened in Liaodong recently, of course, the main thing was the great victory of the Liaodong Army against the Aberli savages and Goguryeo sneak attack last night.

"The Aberli savages and the Northwest Commander of Goguryeo have already begun to move. ”

After a while, all the reports were over, Xiao Yu'er handed Su Shan a cup of warm and just right tea, Su Shan also opened his eyes, and the expression on his face was calm and unwavering, as if he was not very happy about this victory, but was still a little worried.

"Why, Lord?"

Xiao Yu'er couldn't understand it, her brows furrowed slightly, and she asked softly.

"These 5,000 Aberli cavalry and 5,000 Goguryeo cavalry did not have much impact on the entire battle situation in Liaodong, and would not let the savages break their muscles and bones, nor would they stop the northwestern army of Goguryeo, at most they would bring some comfort and boost morale to the now weak Liaodong army. ”

Su Shan took a sip of tea, sighed slightly, and continued,

"What we should really see is that the Aberli savages and Goguryeo have completely united and started together, this time it is just a surprise attack, and it will not be long before a real large-scale attack will begin, and we only hope that their attack can be delayed now. ”

"It's best after Guan Long's army can reach Donglin City. ”

"If they can't bear it and launch an attack in advance, with the current situation of the Liaodong Army, even if they hold the Donglin City, I am afraid they will lose a lot, and the Liaodong Army has already suffered a heavy blow in the accident in Xinyancheng, and if it suffers another blow, it is likely to really affect the morale. ”

"If you want to raise this kind of morale in the future, it will be far away. ”

Although Su Shan is not very good at leading troops to fight, he also understands that the morale of an army, especially the kind of invincible courage and the spirit of killing, cannot be cultivated overnight, just like the Guan Long army, how many times they have killed and won battles with the grassland people, they can have such pride.

And until the grassland was completely leveled in the end, Hu Lingyu was also constantly cultivating the momentum of the Guan Long army, although there were not many big battles, but he also deliberately raised some rebels on the grassland, and by sharpening the blade, this is the same reason.

On the other hand, the Liaodong Army, the previous competition with the Dayan Jurchen was too easy, the Dayan Jurchen was simply vulnerable, and the internal corruption was unbearable, and the Liaodong Army had never encountered a real war from the northwest to their Xinyancheng!

Nor did they experience a real bloody battle.

Therefore, their momentum is only superficial, not so stable, and when they were in Xinyancheng, the chaos that occurred can be seen, even Yuan Tianzhi was already panicked in that situation, and he lost so many high-level generals, which can also be seen.

If they experience a large-scale defeat in this unstable situation, they are likely to receive a fatal blow, which is not a loss in numbers or generals, but a loss in momentum.

"The Overseer's concern is justified. ”

Xiao Yu'er heard Su Shan's words, and she understood a lot in her heart, she frowned for a while, as if she was thinking about something, and after being silent for a long time, she said in a deep voice,

"But the overseer, even if the Aberli savages and Goguryeo really fight on a large scale, it doesn't matter. ”

"The momentum of the Liaodong Army is insufficient, doesn't it also need such a real fight to stabilize?"

"Yuan Tianzhi, who is a slave, should also understand this truth, and he will definitely fight his subordinates to suffer losses, and he will definitely let the Liaodong army fight to the death and hone them. ”

"We understand. ”

Su Shan nodded meaningfully and said,

"Yuan Tianzhi, our family is at ease, if it is the previous batch of veterans of the Liaodong Army, our family is also at ease, but today's Liaodong Army has replaced a group of new young generals on a large scale. ”

"If they don't understand this, they're in trouble!"

"Hold the pen!"

After a slight pause, Su Shan turned his head and said to Xiao Yu'er,

"Inform Yuan Tianzhi of our family's worries, and tell him that the morale of his Liaodong Army must be beaten, no matter how many soldiers, weapons, and materials are lost, our family can replenish him, if it really makes the Liaodong Army lose morale, then this Liaodong Protectorate, our family will have to be replaced!"

Su Shan's words were a bit harsh, and they were a serious warning, Xiao Yu'er also heard the heaviness of it, nodded seriously, took out the paper and pen that was always in the carriage, and began to write, but in an instant, he put the letterhead on the white dove parked in front of the window and sent it out.

"Our family doesn't really want to replace him Yuan Tianzhi, it's just that this Liaodong Protectorate is of great significance to the Great Wei Dynasty, it is the northern gateway of the Central Plains, no matter what, there must be a real army of tigers and wolves to guard it, if his Liaodong army can't survive this nirvana, then there is no need to give them another chance." ”

Su Shan frowned, exhaled a little solemnly, and then leaned down again, his eyes slightly closed.

"The notice went down, and the east factory accelerated its speed and arrived in the east of the city within two days. ”

After a slight pause, Su Shan reminded in a low voice, saying,

"Guan Longjun, there are at least five days to arrive, let's arrive earlier, we can also help Yuan Tianzhi stabilize some of the situation, although there are not many people in our Dongchang, but this combat effectiveness is still not weak, if the barbarians of Aberli and the army of Goguryeo really fight on a large scale, we can also help them do something." ”

"At the very least, it can help them boost their morale. ”

"Slave understands!"

Xiao Yu'er nodded and waved her hand out of the window, and the speed of the carriage and the convoy began to gradually speed up, and even the carriage specially built for Su Shan was a little bumpy because of this, but with Su Shan and Xiao Yu'er's current strength, it had no impact.

Seeing that Su Shan had completely closed his eyes, Xiao Yu'er gently leaned over to his side and pinched his shoulders as usual.

......

Guanlong's place!

Since getting Su Shan's order, Hu Lingyu is with 200,000 cavalry of the Guanlong Army, all the way from Guanlong Taiyuan to Liaodong, he deeply understands the situation of the Liaodong Army now, and he was also concerned about a series of things in Dayan Nuzhen, when he learned about the battle situation, he was a little worried about the Liaodong Army.

He and Su Shan had the same thoughts, and even understood the importance of the morale of an army better than Su Shan, if it were not for the real fighting, the real hard fighting, and the real blood from this death and killing, an army would not have the courage and murderous spirit to move forward.

And this will also become the real shortcoming of the Liaodong Army.

Hu Lingyu is not the kind of general who has selfish intentions, he is really for the sake of the entire Great Wei Dynasty and the countless Han people, if the Liaodong Army cannot really grow and be reborn, then it is not qualified to sit in the position of the Liaodong Protectorate, even if he reluctantly sits down, he will not be able to stabilize.

This was not only a threat to the Great Wei Dynasty, but also a great constraint and delay to the Governor's plan to unify the four seas and all directions in the future.

Therefore, he must arrive in time to help the Liaodong Army through this difficulty, so as to avoid any serious blow to their morale, and at the same time, he must also use the momentum of the Guanlong Army to stimulate the momentum of the Liaodong Army.

And under this thought, the marching speed of Guan Long's army was also improved to the extreme by him, almost regardless of the state of fatigue of men and horses, he rushed all the way, and now he has reached the territory of Liaodong.

However, such a fast march will naturally bring a lot of loss and fatigue to the Guan Long army, and now, the Guan Long army is already a little unable to hold on, although people have not said anything, but the tired color has been fully revealed, even if they have confidence in the troops under their command, so they can fight, but Hu Lingyu does not want to be careless.

If they had to rush over so hard, and after arriving there, they would not be able to exert their own combat effectiveness, and they would catch up with the attack of Goguryeo and the savage tribes, and if they failed, their own army would not be affected too much, and then the Liaodong army would really be hit.

They will feel that the savages and Goguryeo are powerful, and they will even feel that they can't win if they have reinforcements, it's really useless.

After many worries and considerations, Hu Lingyu decided to let Guan Longjun, who had been traveling for a long time, rest for a while.

"General, the battle report from the East Factory. ”

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Hu Lingyu was resting on the chair, such a desperate march, he, the main general, was also a little tired, after all, he was old, and his own strength was not very high, and he did not reach the extraordinary situation of Su Shan, but when he heard the word "battle report", he suddenly recovered his spirit and opened his eyes.

"Show it to me. ”

Hu Lingyu took the battle report, glanced at it slightly, this brow was a little soothed, the battle report he saw was sent by Su Shan specially ordered Lijinglou to send it, about the surprise attack of the wild men of Goguryeo and Aberli on the Liaodong Army yesterday, including the worries and orders therein.

"The Overseer has courage!"

"This is to want the Liaodong Army to be truly reborn!"

His gaze swept over the last piece of instruction, Hu Lingyu's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of admiration flashed on his face, as well as solemnity, and after a slight pause, he turned around and instructed the general who reported,

The order was given, and the rest period was changed from one day to two days. ”

"In addition, keep a close eye on the news near Donglin City, and once any orders come from Dongchang, send them to General Ben as quickly as possible!"

"This ......"

The general can also be regarded as Hu Lingyu's henchman, he has no objection to the later orders, but for the previous one, he was a little puzzled for a while, frowned and hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice,

"General, the pressure on the Liaodong Army is great, maybe when there will be a chance to really start a war, let's rest and rectify here at this time, will it be ......?"

The general didn't say it too clearly, because some things were inconvenient to say, but what he meant was already very clear.

The Guanlong army was dispatched to help the Liaodong army, but if the savages of Goguryeo and Aberli came over and they rested here, resulting in too much loss of the Liaodong army, then the contradiction between the two armies would be buried from then on, which may not be easy to explain for stability and for the overseer.

"Look at this, you understand!"

Hu Lingyu didn't explain anything seriously, but casually threw the letterhead in front of the general, who picked up the letterhead curiously, and swept his eyes over it, and then the brows suddenly wrinkled, and there was a trace of shock that could not be concealed, which gradually appeared on the slightly dark face.

"Do you understand?"

When Hu Lingyu came out of Taiyuan City, he already intended to choose someone who could succeed him and be in charge of the entire Guanlong and Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, after all, his son, with those ideas, was completely excluded by him, and this general was in his consideration, so he asked at this time, and there was also some meaning to take the school.

"This ...... The Admiral understands something!"

The middle-aged general took a deep breath, then arched his hand and said seriously,

"The Liaodong Army defeated the big-eyed Jurchens at the beginning, which seemed to be imposing, but in fact, they were all illusions, they completely relied on their own weapons and firearms, as well as the rotten and rotten battles of the big-eyed Jurchens, and they did not experience much life and death battles, which has planted the seeds of arrogance among them. ”

"This time, the war between Goguryeo and the Aberli savages can just erase their arrogance, and at the same time, if they can fight to the death and not retreat, they can also truly establish a kind of pride and morale that belongs to the Liaodong Army, which is a real nirvana for the Liaodong Army!"

"Reborn from the ashes!"

"Hmm!"

Hu Lingyu heard the general's words, and the meaning of approval on his face became stronger, and when he raised his head, he saw that the general hesitated, as if he had something to say, so he said with a smile,

"Go on, know everything, say everything. ”

"I'm a little worried, the Liaodong Army has insufficient generals, if it is really a large-scale attack by the savages of Goguryeo and Aberli, if they can't stop it, and finally need us to go to the end, this will be a fatal blow to the Liaodong Army, and they may not be able to recover for many years!"

"After that day, this Liaodong Protectorate will also be affected!"

After the general finished speaking, he lowered his head, because what he said was beyond his consideration, but Hu Lingyu didn't care, but was more satisfied, he smiled and said,

"What you have considered, the Overseer has also taken into account, so he should have taken the people of Dongchang with him by now, and hurried to support the town!"

"Those battles in Dongchang are still very good, and the overseer is very thoughtful, Yidongchang came forward to help, it is not a regular army, but it will not have any impact on the military spirit of the Liaodong Army......"

"The Overseer is clever, the last general understands!"

The middle-aged general suddenly realized, and bowed his hand respectfully, and there was a trace of admiration on his face......
