The Hidden Dragon Out of the Water Chapter 1 Section 4 Strategizing 060/021
Ren Tianmin bowed his waist and said with a smile: "Of course, thousands of Nanling soldiers cannot be compared with our two elites, but the last general means that Tianhui has been fighting with the natives for many years and has deep experience, we might as well listen to his advice, first, the order we received is to cooperate with the Nanling garrison, which is mainly supplemented by us; since this is a two-front battle, the risk is smaller than that of our family, and the chance of victory is greater;
A little red's face was much gentler, he sat down again, and also motioned for Ren Tianmin to sit down and speak, and said with a smile: "This is not good, since it is to cooperate in the battle, we have to be the master;
Ren Tianmin blinked, pondered for a moment and said: "If you think about it, this will not be a problem, and if you think about it, he Tianhui must be self-aware;
A little red laughed and said, "That's very good." Then this matter of following the local customs and contacting Tianhui will be left to you Brother Tianmin. You can pay for this need first, and then make up for it when the army returns to the division!"
Ren Tianmin said with a smile: "Such trivial things are not enough to be handsome and tired, and the general will do it himself." And then you will go out and handle it?"
A little red waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why should Brother Tianmin be so anxious, Ben Shuai called you here to discuss with you about the visit of the Marquis of Kyushu, how should we prepare?"
Ren Tianmin was surprised: "Did the marshal receive the official letter from the Hou Ye? When did the Hou of Kyushu come?"
A little red shook his head and said: "The subordinates of the living and dead are everywhere, and the whereabouts of you and me have already been reported to the Marquis of Kyushu; How to say it when you see it, and how to say it when you don't see it? After all, we were mortal enemies with him Zhao Shuang at the beginning. Will he take the opportunity to make things difficult for us?"
Ren Tianmin said with a smile: "At the end of the military and political affairs, the generals will not dare to speak without permission!"
A little red shook his head and said, "You don't need to be so restrained, but it's okay to say it!"
Ren Tianmin said slowly: "In the eyes of the last general, we can't just be a chess piece in the hands of others! This court ordered me to wait for the army to raise an army, and it can't be said that there is no opportunity to weaken my heart." Therefore, this meeting must be seen, at most it is just a thrilling Hongmen banquet, but we have to listen more and talk less, and we will do what is beneficial to us, and we will pretend to be confused and prevaricate in the past. And also. The last general heard that there are two treasures in this dragon pool, one is the rattan armor, and the other is the iron powder that can make the treasure knife, both of which are necessary for us to charge into battle in the future, and one of the purposes of our trip is to get these two things. If we get these two treasures, even if he doesn't bring troops in the future, he can sell them for a lot of money, and this trip will not be in vain! Therefore, the handsome man must always pay attention to his Zhao Shuang's instructions, and he can't know nothing and make a wedding dress for others!"
A little red smiled and said: "That's why Brother Tianmin, you only led five hundred relatives to follow Ben Shuai to pacify the bandits." Meritorious service is fake, wealth is real, the blade licks blood, what a big courage! He really deserves to be a businessman!"
Ren Tianmin was so frightened that he fell to his knees. Kowtowed again and again, and said: "The big handsome forgive the sins, the big handsome forgive the sins." The last general will not dare to covet small profits behind the back of the handsome, and the last general really wants to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions to glorify the ancestors. I beg the commander to allow me to be the pioneer of the previous army and take the lead!"
A little red laughed. He glanced at Ren Tianmin a few times and said: "The army has always been different from the circulation of officials, and the emphasis is on sharing weal and woe, and your skills of leading horses and speculating are bound to be useless; although you are the cousin of the great general Wang, but now that you are a soldier under my account, don't say that I don't give you affection and say that I don't recognize my six relatives, so do a good job of your errand! Ben Shuai will inevitably say a few kind words for you in front of the two ladies, otherwise, Ben Shuai still has the ability to cut first and then play! Get up!"
Ren Tianmin got up and thanked him a little red.
A little red said: "However, I will give you the masters of the 500 army now, you don't have to worry about this banditry, you only need to do the two things of following the customs of the countryside and getting those two treasures wholeheartedly." Remember, don't let the slightest rumor of this happen, or you won't come to see me!"
Ren Tianmin wiped the sweat on his forehead and nodded yes.
Ren Tianmin was about to leave, but he shook his head a little red and stopped, and said: "You don't need to be so impatient in everything, you stay for another day or two and go after the Hou of Kyushu comes!"
Ren Tianmin nodded yes, with a sly smile in his eyes.
On the hill on the shore were five military horses, five men in brocade clothes, each with a long sword. The five of them were hiding in the forest, watching from afar on the riverside, and the Xuzhou soldiers were busy unloading military supplies like ants.
The mountain breeze and the river breeze were blowing on everyone's clothes.
The person who came was headed by Hou Zhao Shuang of Kyushu, that is, Cao Yingting, a nine-headed eagle.
This time, the imperial court used troops against Nanling Dirty Dragon Pool, and Zhao Shuang had full control and had the power to cut first and then play all the necessary things. In fact, Zhao Shuang's heart did not approve of the rash use of troops against the local Tu people, and he Zhao Shuang still knew the truth of killing a thousand enemies and self-inflicting eight hundred; Fortunately, this is also the meaning of the saint.
One of his subordinates smiled and said: "Hou Ye, there are not many soldiers and horses who have arrived in Xuzhou, and it is estimated that there are no more than 4,000 soldiers, which is a lot different from the 20,000 that Hou Ye wanted! Could it be that his Xuzhou military department wanted to do something perfunctory?"
Zhao Shuang shook his head and said with a smile: "Lin Dutong, you are wrong. I heard that this time a little red used 20,000 strong soldiers of his descendants, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, with the 3,000 horse army taking the dry road and the rest of the generals taking the water route; this time it was not that he was not a little red and did not want the army to arrive at the point on time as soon as possible, but that the coordination of the dispatch of warships by the naval army along the river was not effective! Or perhaps it was because there had been no major war for a long time, and the soldiers and horses in all towns in the world were loose and accustomed to it!" Zhao Shuang sighed.
One person smiled with feelings: "Master Hou, I think that Tianqi, the director of the Xuzhou soldiers, is no longer there, the former tiger and wolf army, the soldiers and horses of the first town in the world, I don't know if they can reproduce their former glory today? Brave the world!"
Zhao Shuang sighed and touched his cheek. You said quietly: "Who said that my Great Song Dynasty does not have a strong army of tigers and wolves, is this Xuzhou soldier an example? It's a pity that the world is unpredictable! I am afraid that this army of tigers and wolves will not be able to have the courage of the original! Moreover, this Nanling Tu tribe is different from the northern plains, brave and brave, and work together, no one has conquered it since ancient times, and it is not easy to pacify the Tu tribe in one battle, even if General Ren reappears, I am afraid that he will be helpless!"
One person said: "Hou Ye has a lot of respect for him Ren Tianqi!"
Zhao Shuang said: "The so-called thousands of troops are easy to get and hard to find, and it is said that the general is Ren; the general's courage is afraid that it will happen once in five hundred years! It's a pity that he can't share the worries of the saint!"
The crowd was speechless.
One person said: "Today, the Holy Lord has the full authority to control this banditry, although I have dispatched a large number of elites from the door of life and death. But I heard that there are a lot of masters in Qianyuan Villa alone, not to mention that the dragon clan still has thousands of armor soldiers, I'm afraid that our little strength is a drop in the bucket!
Zhao Shuang glanced left and right, and said with a smile: "In the past, Han Xin, the general of the Han Dynasty, led hundreds of thousands of troops to level the Dragon Pond in one fell swoop, and the 20,000 people in front of him, plus our masters of less than 100 people, at most it would be good to be able to level his Qianyuan Villa; I think the purpose of our large-scale invasion this time is not to kill as many Tu tribes as we want to kill or how much land to occupy, but to eradicate the power of the Tu clan in one fell swoop is the root of our action!"
Lin Dutong smiled: "The villain has figured it out." Hou Ye means that let's capture the thief first, capture the king first, and then take advantage of the leaderless chaos of the Tu clan to force them to submit with a large army! Another shortcut, Hou Ye Gao sees that this time we will definitely be able to build immortal feats. Glory to the ancestors!"
The crowd responded excitedly.
As long as it is not the sword and blood shadow on the battlefield, it is naturally not necessary for everyone to fight hard to kill a few leaders of the Tu clan, after all, there are dozens of first-class masters in the world!
Zhao Shuang shook his head. He smiled slightly and said, "You should not take it lightly. The primary task in front of us is not only to maintain the strength of our life and death gate, but also to successfully end the Qianyuan Villa, and to have enough strength to annihilate the masters of the Tu clan who came to support. The manpower around us alone is destined to be insufficient! Everyone should also think of a way!"
Lin Dutong raised his whip and pointed at the Xuzhou soldiers under the mountain, and said with a smile: "Hou Ye, it is not difficult to exterminate this Qianyuan Villa, as long as Hou Ye gives an order, with the momentum of these 20,000 Xuzhou soldiers, we can destroy the Qianyuan Villa in one go, where is the need for us to take action ourselves! Hou Ye is afraid that there are other plans to transfer the Xuzhou army to come this time?"
Zhao Shuang said with a smile: "Lin Dutong is high-minded. Yes, why do you need to use such a big movement just to destroy a small mountain villa. You can know that the Qianyuanzhuang Wen clan is one of the three major clans of the dragon clan, moving a shot and involving the whole body, in the past, the imperial court to Qianyuanzhuang to the Tu people blindly used troops has never been effective, the native people have a sharp edge, high mountains, flowing water, deep streams many conveniences, and often double the intrusion of the border people, it is really easy to resolve grievances, it is difficult to use soldiers! Moreover, the original intention of the imperial court was to do the best thing at the lowest cost, and what the imperial court valued was not the tens of thousands of people of the Tu nationality and the barren mountains and rivers, but the imperial court had its own considerations, and the imperial court wanted to compete with Dajin for male and female, but it depended on the strength of the Tu people's rattan armor and the benefits of iron weapons! It has been reported that nine times out of ten, the iron ore powder of the Tu people is hidden in Qianyuan Villa, or the real hiding place of iron ore is only known to people in Qianyuanzhuang, and this is our goal of fighting Qianyuan Villa!
One said: "Since it is a matter of ambition, then there is no secret to our blatant use of troops, and our subordinates don't understand it very well!"
Zhao Shuang smiled and didn't gnaw.
Lin Dutong said with a smile: "I know what Hou Ye means, Hou Ye wants to use the siege of Qianyuanzhuang to force the Four Swords Alliance to return to obedience, so that the martial arts in the world dare not have two hearts for the imperial court;
Zhao Shuang nodded and said, "Yes, how can the eldest husband only care about the courage of the slashing and slashing horseman." As the saying goes, the purpose of the Xuzhou soldiers is not to crusade, but to deal with the harassment of the border people by the Tu people and the siege of Qianyuan Villa! Our main opponents are those skilled soldiers around the Tu Shangzhu State, and they are the biggest opponents of our life and death! Of course, this Xuzhou soldier has always been unruly, and there have always been many masters in the army, that is, when the former general Ren was alive, although there was a lot of control, there was still a lot of disrespect to my life and death, in this case, we should not let go of the opportunity to rectify the Xuzhou soldiers, this time we must eliminate the banditry in the Xuzhou soldiers!"
Lin Dutong smiled and said: "Master Hou seems to be very wary of the Xuzhou soldiers below! It's a big deal, let's go down and take away his grandmother's military power!"
Zhao Shuang laughed and said: "Lin Dutong laughed, are the Xuzhou soldiers so easy to provoke! Once the hundreds of thousands of sergeants under his command mutiny, it is not a joke! What this Marquis is worried about is not that the Xuzhou soldiers are disrespectful or traitorous to seek glory, but that now these hundreds of thousands of troops have fallen into his little red hands, I am afraid that sooner or later something will go wrong!"
Everyone was puzzled, and they all looked at Zhao Shuang suspiciously.
Zhao Shuang let out a long sigh and said: "A little red is a well-known habitual bandit and thief in the rivers and lakes, thinking that he is a slut in power, he has no loyalty and bravery, and he has a sense of shame, isn't it a violent destruction of the army's hearts and public opinion! I want the great general's talent to die early, and the strong master is frustrated! God bless my Zhao family!"
The crowd was silent.
Lin Dutong said: "Master Hou, do we still need to see a little red today?"
Zhao Shuang said: "Don't worry, let's talk about it when his army meets! Xuzhou soldiers have always been famous for their strong bows and crossbows, so the weapons of the town army will never be among the thousands of foot soldiers in this front!"
Lin Dutong said: "In this way, the Xuzhou soldiers are in danger!"
Zhao Shuang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked back at Lin Dutong, an inexplicable sadness appeared on his face, he wanted to speak but didn't make a sound, turned around gloomily, and said quietly: "Let's go, let's go to Nanling Ren Tianhui Dutong!"
The four subordinates were stunned, looked at each other, the horses were divided into two wings of Zhao Shuang, and the five of them rode their horses and galloped down the mountain. (To be continued......)
