Chapter 35: Where the Road Lies

After Luo Cheng commanded hundreds of brothers to build simple fortifications at the mouth of the valley, he entered the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss countermeasures with the generals, and it was the first time he saw Jiang Zheng with a flying spear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fortunately, Jiang Zheng is burly, standing there has a mighty aura, after all, he has experienced a hundred battles, otherwise there is no way to completely retreat the army here in adversity, Luo Cheng admires the person with the ability the most, and he cordially hugged his fist and saluted the other party at the moment.

It stands to reason that Luo Cheng is now the real nominal general, he doesn't need to be so polite, Jiang Zheng personally realized the sincerity of the other party, and his heart was moved.

If it weren't for his ugly appearance, he would have made a name for himself in Luojing with his ability and entered the sight of the Yang family. However, more than ten years ago, he first joined the army and was rejected by the Metropolitan Protectorate, and directly visited the Zhuyue Mansion and was turned away, but Chen Zhiyuan had a keen eye for talents and brought him into his command, so he gave full play to his talents, so he vowed to help the Chen family seize the great cause even if he was broken in his lifetime, in order to repay the grace of his knowledge.

Now that Luo Cheng is respectful of him, he naturally got Jiang Zheng's favor, and he personally pulled the other party to sit on the main seat, and he stood aside respectfully, avoiding the embarrassment of who would lead the army.

Luo Cheng briefly told the story of the attack and defense of Huishui City, and pointed out the loopholes in Huizhou's weak defense, when Luo Cheng left, the rout in the city had not been integrated, but it was estimated that it was at least half less than before the war, and there were only 10,000 defenders left in Huizhou, and the other half of the cities were guarded. The situation can be described as dangerous, otherwise how would the enemy's 10,000 troops dare to be so unscrupulous and run rampant in Huizhou.

Jiang Zheng listened to the above summary. After pondering for a while, he spoke: "The current situation in Huizhou is indeed critical, but it is a great thing compared to the Chen family, Yanzhou will definitely increase the troops in Huizhou, plus the constraints of Cangzhou, then Luojing's defense is relatively weakened, and Abbot Luo has a lot of connections in Huizhou." Once the Chen family is in Luojing, the abbot can launch an uprising of the defenders of Huishui City, and so on. It is very likely that the Yang family will be subverted in an instant, so Huizhou will be owned by Beichan Temple, and Yanzhou will be owned by the Chen family, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Look around at the crowd. Luo Cheng found that the generals under Jiang Zheng all nodded in favor. Only Tu Xiaoyu and Zhizhi and the others bowed their heads and were silent, he looked at Jiang Zheng in surprise, a little annoyed in his heart.

Although his plan can be described as far-sighted, it does not conform to Luo Cheng's standards of life, if he fights recklessly for his own selfish desires, and the people of Li are in fire and water, it is no different from Yang Xiaotian. The eldest husband does things but wants to be worthy of his heart, and the tragedy of the Kunwu faction slaughtering the village still haunts his heart. Lingering.

Luo Cheng's wish is actually very simple, that is, the world is peaceful. The people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. Everything he has done so far has been based on this point, otherwise why would he bother to take care of Huizhou's affairs? Wouldn't it be a hundred to kill Qian Laoliu and Meng Jiyao and marry ******......

At that moment, Luo Cheng shook his head and said: "Brother Jiang, the most important thing for us now is to discuss how to deal with that wave of mysterious enemies first, and the future disputes, please forgive Luo Chengcai for being shallow in his studies, and he can't think about it at all, so let's focus on the present!"

Jiang Zheng knew that the other party was a woman's benevolence, and it was inconvenient to press too hard at the moment, so he said: "The enemy's defeat this time is nothing more than two choices, either occupy the three small cities at the border pass and wait for reinforcements, and plan for the future, or retreat to the lair to repair and prepare for the future." It is difficult to go down to Huizhou again with a few thousand remnants of the army!"

Luo Cheng nodded and said: "I also have this idea, but when the enemy attacked Huizhou, he had no intention of attacking at all, and it was estimated that the troops were quite insufficient, so he would attack our living forces, intending to smash Huanglong." If it is beaten to the foot of Huishui City and cooperates with the counteroffensive of the Crystal Palace army, Huizhou will be in danger. Now that the conspiracy has been foiled, it is time for the enemy to withdraw directly and look for another opportunity. ”

Jiang Zheng was puzzled: "Then how should we act, please show me!"

Luo Cheng looked around at everyone and asked, "What do the soldiers think, might as well speak up?"

Everyone hesitated to speak, and after hesitation, a young man sitting at the bottom of the table suddenly stood up, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Now that our army is running out of arrows and not much food, we must turn to a safe place as soon as possible to repair, since Lord Luo judges that the enemy army will retreat, it is better for our army to retreat into Yanzhou as soon as possible, and the matter of Huizhou will make the Huizhou army worried!"

Thinking about everyone's opinions, it's just because of Luo Cheng's face that it's not easy to speak, now that a bird has come forward, everyone has nodded and praised, Luo Cheng looked at this peer with clear eyebrows, his straightforward personality is quite his own appetite, and he can't help but feel good, and said with a smile: "Your surname, what position in the army?"

"Murong Longyi, archers are all heads!"

This head spoke more impulsively, and Jiang Zheng didn't know Luo Cheng's attitude for a while, so he had to help: "Brother Long Yi is a sharpshooter in the army, he is arrogant and straightforward, if you have any offense, please bear with me." ”

Luo Cheng smiled and said: "Brother Murong is the same age as the next brother, and he is straightforward, Luo Cheng appreciates it very much, but I'm afraid it's not so simple to retreat into Yanzhou!"

At this time, even Jiang Zheng felt strange, and asked, "Why at this time?"

Murong Longyi also hugged his fists and said, "The young general would like to hear about it!"

Luo Cheng waved his hand to sit down, and explained: "This place is three days away from Fuyang, if our army marches fast enough, plus some game and picking wild fruits, we may be able to barely arrive, and if our army withdraws from Huizhou now, do you think Huizhou will support grain and grass for us, if there is no grain and grass, we can only collect grain on the spot, then the people will suffer, not to mention, it will also attract the attention of the officials and soldiers of Yanzhou, how can we deal with ourselves then?"

The requisition of grain is said to be Luo Cheng's wording to hinder everyone's face, but in fact, it is to compete with the people for food, these men in the army are quite disciplined, and they already have their own families, so they can't do such a dirty thing. Luo Chengyi said, and everyone fell silent.

Logistics has always been the most important thing in warfare, and it is not surprising that soldiers cannot have enough to eat, and the army is afraid of mutiny. Originally, he was expecting to get supplies in Fuyang City, but under Luo Cheng's suggestion, even Jiang Zheng was dumbfounded, could he really be contained in Huizhou?

"Help people to the end, send Buddha to the west!"

In the quiet tent, Luo Cheng opened his mouth to break the silence and continued: "My opinion is that our army retreats into Huishui City, replenishes ordnance and food in the name of assisting in defending the city, and when Huizhou settles down, we are withdrawing from Huizhou through Fuyang City, what do you think?"

Luo Cheng's strategy is a compromise plan, all the generals agreed to this idea after whispering, Jiang Zhengze raised his hands in favor, and he could find out the deployment of Huishui City's troops in advance, even if it was a good choice for the future.

Now that the opinions were unified, Luo Cheng began to give orders, Jiang Zheng led the whole army to retreat to Huishui City, Zhizhi led his subordinates to accompany and protect him, and at the same time sent reconnaissance cavalry to monitor the movements of the enemy on the border, and then sent someone to inform Li Ruihai to speed up the march and join him and Xiaoyu in Anding Town on the border.

The plan has been decided, and all the generals have left the table, Luo Cheng stopped Jiang Zheng and asked: "General Jiang, can you borrow the Long Yi brothers under your command to accompany me, maybe it can be of great help when investigating the enemy's situation." ”

"Good!"

Jiang Zheng said haughtily: "Go and inform him on the horse, it's a trivial matter." However, Lord Luo must be careful, if you are under siege, no matter how high your martial arts are, it will inevitably ......."

Luo Cheng said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Jiang for your kind words, Luo Cheng will definitely keep in mind! Brother Jiang needs to restrain his subordinates and live in harmony with the Huizhou army, so that the brothers will have no worries!"

"I know, Lord Luo, take care!"

"Precious!"

Watching Jiang Zheng stride away, the little rain left at the end smiled sweetly at Luo Cheng. She contributed a lot in this battle, and she didn't ask for anything in return, the beauty was kind, Luo Cheng was greatly moved, and walked over with open arms...... (To be continued.) )
