In the conference room of the Fengwu Army Staff Headquarters, headed by Ye Mingsheng, He Jingyun, Yuan Song and other senior generals were all in place. As the director of the Coordination Office, Huo San reiterated the judgment he had just made. ················
When the generals heard that Zhao Fuqu was likely to come out in force to counterattack Shunping Xinle, the expressions on the faces of the generals also became solemn and serious.
While Ye Mingsheng calmly observed the changes in the expressions of the generals, he also lamented in his heart that this Jiang was indeed old and hot. Zhao Fuqu really seized this opportunity very well!
The Ma Zhongjun and Gu Shouting tribes currently guarding Shunping Xinle have just experienced a battle, and the firearms and ammunition they are equipped with are almost exhausted. Without the advantage of firearms, the combat effectiveness of the Fengwu Army will drop a lot. Therefore, Gu Shouting and Ma Zhongjun alone It is difficult for the two men to attack the troops and horses of less than 10,000 people together for a long time under the fierce attack of the Yan army.
If Ye Mingsheng wants to keep the two cities of Shunping and Xinle, and does not want to return all the meat he just ate, then there is only one way to go, and that is to increase troops to support, but now the Luobi people are When things are going on in northern Xinjiang, they may go south to the border area at any time.
Although Ye Mingsheng judged that the Luobi people would not easily go south, if the main force of the Fengwu Army supported Shunping and Xinle, leaving northern Xinjiang empty, then the greedy nature of the Luobi people would undoubtedly increase the possibility of them taking advantage of the situation. A lot, and this is probably what Zhao Fuqu wants.
Ye Mingsheng originally planned to stabilize the situation in Shunping and Xinle, and then continue to encroach on the Yan army's territory step by step, dismembering the Yan army's territory just like the cook Ding Jie Niu. After about a month or two, the logistics supplies were fully prepared. After the Luobei people retreated to northern Xinjiang and returned to peace, Ye Mingsheng sent out a large number of troops to completely wipe out the remnants of the Yan army. This was the safest and the least damaging way... ····
But now it seems that Zhao Fuqu and the think tank around him are not fools. They have seen through Ye Mingsheng's plan, so they did not continue according to the script designed by Ye Mingsheng, but chose to burn everything and force Ye Mingsheng to gather the main force to fight with them. In the decisive battle, I also wanted to drag the Luobi people into the water and create a situation where the Fengwu Army was attacked from the north and the south!
After giving the generals about a cup of tea to think, Ye Mingsheng rubbed his Qingming point and said in a deep voice:
Let us know what you think!
After Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, Peng Ce, the general of the Fourth Division, said:
"The general thinks that our army should be able to rush to the rescue of Shunping and Xinle and wait for help. Zhao Fuqu, an old man, wants to make a comeback at this time. It is really wishful thinking!"
Listening to Peng Ce's righteous words, Ye Mingsheng did not speak, but waved his hand to signal Peng Ce to sit down, and then looked at He Jingyun. As the chief of staff of the Fengwu Army and the specific formulator of the Fengwu Army's combat plan, He Jingyun's speeches were always very constructive, so Ye Mingsheng wanted to hear his thoughts at this time.
Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, He Jingyun was also secretly trying to figure out Ye Mingsheng's thoughts. He knew that with Ye Mingsheng's character, there was absolutely no possibility of spitting back the meat he had eaten, but if he did not give up on Shunping and Xinle, then This means that there is a high possibility of a decisive battle with the Yan army.
After all, the Yan army came out in full force this time, with nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses. However, even after the Fengwu army reorganized the sixth division, there were not so many soldiers and horses in Youyan, although the Yan army's combat effectiveness was not as good as that of Fengwu. army, but the nearly 100,000 enemy troops are a combat force that cannot be underestimated. If fewer reinforcements are sent, not only will there be no support effect, but they may be surrounded by the Yan army for reinforcements. This tactic of refueling It is the most taboo in the art of war···················
But if war mobilization is carried out and the decisive battle is fought with the Yan army in Shunping, then the Luo Bei army in the direction of Yuyang Shanggu will be a big trouble!
After careful consideration for a while, He Jingyun said very cautiously:
"Commander, I think we should send a message to Gu Shouting Feige now, asking him to temporarily abandon Xinle City and evacuate to Shunping City!"
Before He Jingyun finished speaking, Peng Ce stood up and said with some confusion:
"Chief of Staff He, what do you mean by this? If Shunpei and Xinle are in conflict with each other, if they retreat without fighting and hand over Xinle to others, not to mention the blow to the morale of our army, it will also be a fatal blow to Shunpei's defense. , Junping will become even more isolated and helpless and become an isolated city!"
Facing Peng Ce's question, He Jingyun patiently explained:
"The distance from Zhuoxian to Xinle is about 350 miles, and the distance from Yijing to Xinle is about 800 miles. Including the time Zhao Fuqu spent preparing in advance, if Zhao Fuqu really wants to carry out strategy now Counterattack, then it will be too late for our army to immediately support Xinle!"
"General Peng, what you said is correct. The geographical location of Xinle is indeed very important to Shunping, but we cannot ignore the situation of Xinle itself. The city of Xinle has been in disrepair for a long time, and the walls on all sides are uneven, like a moat. There are no defensive offensives such as trenches, not to mention that our army there is only a mere three thousand people from General Gu!"
"If there is no problem with the intelligence of the General Coordination Office, and the Yan army really counterattacks with a hundred thousand troops, then Xinle City cannot be defended at all, and may not even be able to hold it for a day, so instead of watching these three thousand soldiers and horses die in Xinle City, Le, it is better to let them support Junping. With the support of these 3,000 people, our army will have nearly 10,000 people in Junping. Although we are still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, we can still hold on for a while. I will buy time with my next move..."
What He Jingyun said made Peng Ce speechless. He could only sit back in his seat with a slight embarrassment and keep silent. Yuan Song, who was relatively silent at this time, stood up and complained:
"Commander, I do not recommend that our army engage in a decisive battle with the Yan army at this time. If we want to fight, we must wait at least half a month!"
Seeing Yuan Song express his suggestion clearly, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and asked:
"Tell me your reasons!"
With Ye Mingsheng's permission, Yuan Song slowly said:
"A decisive battle with the Yan army at this time is exactly what Zhao Fuqu wants. He hopes that our army will expose the empty rear and create trouble for the Luobei people. The greedy Luobei people will also be dragged into the water, forming a north-south pincer attack. So I believe that our army will never fall into this man’s scheme!”
"As for waiting until half a month before the decisive battle, there are two reasons. The first reason is that the Luobei people are an organization model that is both people and soldiers. In peacetime, they herd and hunt, and in war, all the people go into battle together. Currently, the Luobei people are We have more than 100,000 troops on our northern border, which is already most of the Luobi people's strength!"
"The gathering of so many young and strong men will inevitably affect the Luobi people's grazing production. Now is the important season for fattening cattle and sheep. If we miss this time, it will inevitably affect the Luobi people's livestock harvest this year, and in turn affect the Luobi people's livestock harvest. The humble people spent the winter, but now the Luobei people are afraid of our army's strong walls and clearing the country. Although Chen Bing created tension on the border, they have been reluctant to start a war..."
"Judging from my humble position, their current momentum is very bluffing, but in fact they are already riding a tiger. If they cannot open up the situation in the short term, they will have no choice but to withdraw their troops!"
"The second reason is that Zhao Fuqu raised nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in the territory south of Youyan alone. 100,000 people eat the horses and chew the food every day. This is a huge number. With their logistics, Judging from the guarantee, they won’t be able to sustain it for long!”
"So Zhao Fuqu is now pursuing a quick victory and wants a decisive battle with our army as soon as possible. As long as our army can hold off for ten days and a half, the old thief Zhao cannot defeat Shunping Xinle, and he will be in danger of collapse due to lack of successors!"
After listening to the words of He Jingyun and Zhao Fuqu, a bright light flashed in Ye Mingsheng's eyes, and he gradually had a countermeasure in his mind.
After thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng looked at Yuan Song and said:
"You are leading the First Division, and I am handing over the Sixth Division to you. Are you sure you can hold Zhao Fuqu off in Shunping?"
Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Yuan Song thought quickly, and then said firmly:
"If we can get the cooperation of our soldiers in Shunping City, I can definitely hold off Zhao Fuqu for ten days, and Zhao Fuqu will not be allowed to capture Shunping City within ten days!"
··························
··························
While the Yijing Fengwu Army Staff Headquarters was having a heated discussion, a secret war between women was also going on quietly in the Murong Mansion in Dongning.
In the back garden, Murong Qingwu, who is dressed in green clothes, is enjoying the spring breeze in the garden, accompanied by her maid Xiaohuan. As the eastern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is also the coldest place. Dongning spends almost half of the time every year. Suffering from the cold weather, Murong Qingwu also cherished the good weather and the ability to appreciate the spring in the garden.
Because she was aware of the danger, she basically did not go out unless necessary during this period. Apart from reading and playing the piano at home, Murong Qingwu recently became obsessed with painting, and now in the back garden The beautiful scenes in the painting are the objects of her paintings.
Just when Murong Qingwu was concentrating on moving the willow trees, ponds and other scenes in front of her onto the paper, a woman with a very delicate appearance and a seemingly fragile body floated over accompanied by the maids. Murong Qing was concentrating on painting. Wu did not notice the appearance of this woman, but Xiaohuan, the maid beside her, noticed this immediately. When her eyes glanced at this woman, a trace of complexity appeared in her eyes... ···············
After a cup of tea, Murong Qingwu, who was concentrating on her, finally drew up a picture of love. Just when she smiled and wanted Xiaohuan to comment, a soft voice came from her ear.
"Qingwu, your painting techniques are still very immature, but your personal style is very distinct. You can achieve such a mastery after only studying for more than a month. Qingwu, your talent is really enviable!"
As soon as this voice came out, the smile on Murong Qingwu's pretty face suddenly slowly faded, and she said calmly to the visitor:
"I didn't expect Mrs. Evian to know so much about painting? How disrespectful!"
Listening to what Murong Qingwu called him, Eyun shook his head and said bitterly:
"Qing Wu, I told you that you and I are of the same age. When we get along in the house, you can just call me Evian..."
After hearing this, Murong Qingwu still said calmly:
"Etiquette cannot be abolished!"
As soon as these words came out, the bitterness on Evian's delicate face seemed to be aggravated by three points, and she turned and left without saying anything more.
The appearance of Evian seemed to have affected Murong Qingwu's interest in painting. She could no longer find the same state of mind just now. After several attempts failed, Murong Qingwu could only turn around and leave and return to her boudoir.
Back in the room, Murong Qingwu sat on a chair with her eyes closed to relax, and Xiaohuan was by her side. After thinking for a while, Murong Qingwu suddenly said:
"Xiaohuan, are you curious why I am targeting her so much?"
Seeing that her inner voice was exposed by Murong Qingwu, Xiaohuan was a little surprised for a moment. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded and said:
"Miss, you are obviously very kind to other people. You give porridge to the displaced refugees on the street. You will also try your best to help the servants and maids in the house. When everyone in the house mentions Miss, they will give a thumbs up and say Miss. You are a beautiful person with a kind heart!”
"And Mrs. Evian is also a very good person. I heard that Mrs. Wang in the kitchen last time had her son sick and wanted to pay three months' wages in advance from the account. Manager Liu didn't agree. It was Mrs. Evian who quietly transferred her routine I lent the money to Aunt Wang..."
After hearing this, Murong Qingwu opened her eyes and said quietly to Xiaohuan:
"What you see is just the appearance. Chen Yiyun is not as simple as you seem. She is a daughter of an official who lives in the world and can still play tricks on those young men. Not only is she not taken advantage of, but she also uses those people to increase her own worth. Fame, what kind of means is this?"
When these words came out, Xiaohuan said with some surprise:
"Miss, you said she was innocent before?"
Murong Qingwu nodded and said:
"Well, otherwise, why do you think my father loves her so much? Don't you think it is very rare for her to be able to maintain her innocence in the land of fireworks, to emerge from the mud without being stained, to be clean and not a monster? In my father's heart Chen Yiyun’s image is so pure and holy!”
"Do you still remember our previous trip to Liaoyang? While traveling around, I also quietly investigated the young masters who were close to Chen Yiyun. Each of them said that they and Chen Yiyun were in love and had a sweet love. It’s hard to leave..."
