Gifts?

Strategist Wen You asked curiously, "The Metropolitan Governor wants to give Meng Shanming a gift?"

Luo Zhao smiled and asked: "Can't you send it? People are old and still drag their crippled bodies into battle, which is really admirable, and we might as well be more open-minded." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, see that there is something strange in his smile, and I always feel that things are not so simple.

Ling Xiao Pavilion Elder Su Yuanbai immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What gift is the Grand Governor going to give?"

The monks here are in a good mood, since Luo Zhao commanded the army to invade the territory of Yan Kingdom, a series of battles are indeed beautiful, and the destruction of Yan is just around the corner, so the monks from all sides are extremely polite to him.

"Horse! I have heard that Meng Shanming loves horses, so I should do what I like, and go and bring the horse that General Lian sent me!"

Luo Zhao shouted, and someone immediately did so, and after a while, he brought a white horse with strong muscles, snow-white body, and no miscellaneous hair, which was a gift given to Luo Zhao by the iron gate guard after the surrender of Lian Anshan switch.

It was not enough to have a horse, Luo Zhao also ordered someone to simply sew a coat for the horse on the spot.

The body of the horse sewn with white cloth is draped over a cover, giving people the feeling of wearing linen and filial piety to mourn, and everyone looks strange one by one.

Wen You said with a smile: "The gift given by the Metropolitan Governor is enough to be 'auspicious'." ”

This made everyone laugh, and everyone knew that he was talking the opposite.

"Meng Shanming is not convinced of the old, and see me provoke him!" Luo Zhao said and jumped off the horse, asked for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter to Meng Shanming by hand.

The others approached and watched the contents of the letter, and they all laughed non-stop, and the people on the periphery looked up, and they didn't know what the Metropolitan Governor had written.

Ma and Xin arranged for someone to send them away.

Luo Zhao then came to the map again, summoned the generals to rearrange the battle plan, and after the generals understood, they were ordered to make preparations again.

The high-level members of the three major factions of the Song Kingdom were puzzled after watching, and Su Yuanbai tried to ask, "The Metropolitan Governor has changed the battle plan?"

Luo Zhao bowed his head and explained to a few people: "Molestation is flirting, and what should be valued must not be underestimated. Meng Shanming's generation of famous generals is by no means a waste of fame, on the battlefield experience is stronger than ours, the use of military methods is even more spicy and changeable, the capture of Nanzhou, the capture of Dingzhou can be seen that this person's sword is not old, once he straightens out the Yan people, we continue to deal with it is very easy to suffer. It is really inappropriate to continue to fight him in the same way as ordinary people, and it must be adjusted in due course. Since ancient times, there have been countless things that have fallen short due to negligence, how can we follow in the footsteps of those and regret breaking our hearts? If we are defeated by negligence, how can we have the face to go back to see our fathers and elders in Jiangdong?"

Wen Youshen nodded thoughtfully.

Ling Xiao Pavilion Elder Su Yuanbai, Blood God Temple Elder Dong Yinglai, and Heaven Splitting Palace Elder Chang Fei glanced at each other, but they didn't expect that the appearance of a Meng Shanming would make Luo Zhao completely change the battle plan.

The previous plan was very simple, that is, to defeat the Yan people, and the focus was on how to deploy troops to fight with the Yan army to win.

Today's plan is to give up fighting with the people of Yan Kingdom, and only need to overcome the obstacles in front of you all the way and go straight to the capital of Yan Kingdom!

Dong Yinglai was a little puzzled, and asked: "If you don't defeat the people of Yanguo, what's the use of taking Yanjing, won't you have to fight with the people and horses of Yanguo when you turn around?"

Luo Zhao waved his hand and said: "No, this is the safest way to play, Meng Shanming has made a move, how can he continue to let South Korea watch the excitement, and it is time to force South Korea to do it." ”

The three elders looked at each other again, still a little confused, and didn't understand what they meant.

After pondering for a while, Wen You twisted his beard and said, "I think I should understand the intention of the Grand Duke." ”

"Oh!" Luo Zhao smiled, as if I wanted to hear it.

The three elders also looked at Wen You together, and Chang Fei, the elder of the Heaven Splitting Palace, said, "I would like to hear from Gao Jian." ”

Wen You paced back and forth in front of the map for a while, and after sorting out his thoughts, he pointed to the map and said carefully: "As the Metropolitan Governor said, although we are waiting for the victory, we still can't underestimate Shangmeng Shanming. Meng Shanming fought with the army, and no one dared to guarantee that there would be no accidents when they fought with them, and it was not a wise move to fight with them, even if they won, the damage to our side would be incalculable. Even if Meng Shanming loses, I am afraid that he will find a way to bite us, once our strength is seriously damaged, we will be at a disadvantage when we carve up the Yan Kingdom with South Korea afterwards. ”

The hand pointed to the route of the westward advance to Yanjing, "The Yan army's grain and grass are already facing a dilemma, Meng Shanming must want to fight quickly, and I can't let him succeed." Going west, the Yan army has almost no danger to defend, and it is difficult to stop our army's momentum like a bamboo, and our army can go west in one go, without being entangled with the surrounding harassment. Once Yanjing is in an emergency, the whole country of Yan will panic, and how can the national capital be lost? It will inevitably urgently order the men and horses of all sides to rush to help, and even if Meng Shanming can fight again, what can he do? If he is powerless, he can only chase after our army. ”

"Mengshan Ming's department is already in a state of embarrassment, so if he slips away like this, it will take another time, even if he catches up with us, how long will it take? At this time, our army can maneuver with Mengshan Ming's department, and when he runs out of food, he will be defeated without a fight. And once Yanjing is in an emergency, there are still people all the way who are afraid that they can't even move if they want to. ”

He raised his hand and pointed to the area around Beizhou of Yanguo, "Yanjing is in an emergency, the people and horses in the east are blocked by me, and seeing that the Mengshan Ming Department is difficult to save and will be defeated sooner or later, I will urgently urge the people and horses in the north to come to help." As soon as the northern defense line of Yan Kingdom is loosened, how can South Korea miss a good opportunity? When the time comes, it will inevitably send troops to attack!"

Dong Yinglai hesitated: "What if the upper echelons of the Yan Kingdom abandon the Jingshi and flee?"

Wen You: "At this point, how can it be left to him? It is the idea of the mages to come and go easily, abandon the Beijing division and flee, can they leave all the courtiers behind? How many officials of the Beijing division, big and small? And how many family members? Who means that if you escape, you will inevitably be besieged by our army, and you will inevitably have to recruit people from the north to help. Even if they can escape, it is impossible for some monks to escape with some high-level officials, it is inevitable that the army of the Beijing division will escort a group of people to escape, it is impossible to leave the people of the Beijing division, dare to run, our department will pursue, and the other party will still urgently transfer the northern men and horses to rescue. ”

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the monks of the Yan Kingdom escape with the high-ranking members of the imperial court, where can they flee? The eastern people and horses are about to be defeated, and it is not safe to come, so they can only escape to the place where the heavy troops are gathered in the north. At that time, our department will not care about him, but after the fact, we can directly enclose the territory of Yan to draw the world, and if Korea can sit back and watch our Song State feast so much, it will inevitably forcibly send troops to attack the northern defense line of Yan in order to participate in the partition. ”

"Therefore, the Metropolitan Governor's hand is extremely clever, and it is also the safest way, the high-level of the Yan State will not care about Meng Shanming's life or death, they will only be afraid of their own life and death, it must be a desperate urging, and our army can also consume it to death! Therefore, not only can we win, but we can also win steadily in the case of small losses, so why do we need to take that risk with Meng Shanming, all when we are afraid of him?"

"Haha......" Luo Zhao laughed heartily, raised his hand and patted Wen You's shoulder, "Those who know me, Wen You also!"

Wen You smiled and bowed his hand, humbling himself.

The three elders suddenly realized that this was a sure victory, and they suddenly showed surprise in their eyes.

Su Yuanbai stroked his palms and exclaimed: "The Metropolitan Governor is really a genius who strategizes! Once the Metropolitan Governor defeats Meng Shanming in this battle, he will definitely achieve the immortal name of the Metropolitan Governor!"

After Luo Zhao waved his hand, he sighed again: "I want to have a head-to-head showdown with Meng Shanming, and it is quite a bit unsuccessful to defeat him like this." ”

"Eh!" Chang Fei said disapprerovingly: "There are no means on the battlefield, where can there be so much attention, don't you hear that there are soldiers who are not tired of cheating, victory is victory, and there is no victory on the battlefield." We are fortunate to be with the army and witness the immortal achievements of the Metropolitan Governor, which is really a blessing in this life!"

Luo Zhao arched his hand: "Next, I hope you will cooperate!"

The three elders returned the salute together, and said in unison: "We must go all out, and we will not miss the war of the metropolitan governor!"

Luo Zhao thanked him, looked back into the distance, "I wonder if Meng Shanming can inspire his enthusiasm to fight me to the death after receiving my gift?"

......

Outside the military tent of the people in Changzhou, the people finally arrived, Xu Jingyue, An Xianzhao, Su Qitong, and Shi Xinmao joined in.

Before the people arrived, Meng Shanming, who was in the tent, was nowhere to be seen, and the first one had to stand outside the tent honestly and wait.

When the four of them entered, they saw Meng Shanming sitting upright in a wheelchair, and they all had mixed feelings, and they bowed together, "See Dashuai!"

Meng Shanming: "It's all a prince, there's no need to be so polite to me, a crippled old man." I also said to Zhang Hu before, I am really old, clumsy, I really can't understand what you are fighting in this battle, so I specially ask you to come and ask for advice, you are abrupt and reckless, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

Including Zhang Hu, the five princes quietly exchanged colors with each other one by one.

The elders of the three major factions on the side looked uncomfortable one by one, and it was obvious that the five princes were all honest in front of Meng Shanming, and they didn't dare to breathe, and they seemed to be more honest than seeing them, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Xu Jingyue laughed dryly, and tried to say: "Dashuai said this, the five of us are really embarrassed. ”

Meng Shanming sat still at all, only his mouth moved: "Shao Dengyun in Beizhou can't get out of guarding Beizhou's heavy land to prevent South Korea, and it is difficult to get out of Bozhou Chen Jiu, Qizhou Wu Kang'an's people and the imperial court's people are mixed up." Wu Gongshan in Cangzhou probably died at the hands of his brother, and now you should see why I suppressed Wu Gongling back then, because I was soft-hearted back then. ”

An Xianzhao said weakly: "This can't be blamed on the big handsome, it was the prince who saw Wu Gongshan's face back then and stopped the big handsome." ”

Meng Shanming ignored his words, "Of the eighteen generals under me back then, only eight of you were still alive." Shao Dengyun, Chen Jiu, and Wu Kang'an are first of all entangled in something, and secondly, I don't dare to greet you all, now after all, they are all princes of one party, their wings are hard, and they are used to calling for wind and rain on their own state territory, how can they still put me, a crippled old man, in their eyes. But the prince appointed me as the general of the Eastern Expedition, I really don't know the bottom in my heart, let me, a crippled old man, command you princes, how dare I, so I call the five of you to try it first, just to ask you, is it appropriate for me to be the general of the Eastern Expedition?"

PS: During the New Year, I wanted to be lazy, but when I saw that there was a new alliance leader, I was ashamed to eliminate the disturbances and write another chapter, thank the new alliance leader "people under the sycamore" to cheer!
