After looking around at the generals in the camp, Guo Zhiping said in a deep voice:
"If you have any ideas, you can stand up and talk about it..."
As soon as these words came out of the camp, there was another silence for a while. Wang Ye, the commander of the Third Army, stood up and looked at Guo Zhiping and said:
"Commander, judging from the general situation, this old bastard Shangguan Hongyuan deliberately besieged and refused to attack, just to use General Cui and others as bait to rush to our army's reinforcements!"
At this point, Wang Ye was hesitant to speak, but in the end he sat back without speaking. Although he didn't speak, everyone sitting here was understanding and knew what he wanted to say. Shangguan Hongyuan's move was Yang Mou, I'm not afraid that you will understand what he wants to do!
After listening to Wang Ye's words, Guo Zhiping did not answer, but continued to look at Zhang Dabao and asked:
"Where are the Xuanwu Army and the Hujie Army now?"
Zhang Dabao thought for a moment and said:
"The Hujie Army is still resting in Wankang County, but the Xuanwu Army is showing signs of gathering in Pingyun County. They seem to be waiting for something!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the camp was undoubtedly more solemn. It was obvious that the enemy troops were waiting for us in Dakou Township. Then the enemy troops took advantage of the situation and entangled our side. Finally, the Xuanwu Army came to encircle Cui Desheng in Dakou Township. There are more than 10,000 people, and they all make dumplings!
Guo Zhiping, who also realized this, felt very heavy. Although he realized that the rescue of Dakou Township this time would be difficult, the degree of viciousness of Shangguan Hongyuan still exceeded his imagination. The current situation seemed to be hopeless. Solution, rescue or remedy will be a big problem···················
Just when all the generals in the camp fell into silence, a calm voice broke the silence.
"Shangguan Hongyuan has set up a trap in Dakou Township to invite you to enter the urn. He is waiting for our army to rush inside. Our army must not fall into his trap!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of the generals to the speaker. Under the eyes of everyone, Xun Ke stood up and looked at Guo Zhiping.
After sizing up Xun Ke who offered his words, Guo Zhiping frowned slightly and said:
"Do you want our troops to withdraw?"
Xun Ke shook his head when he heard this and said:
"No! My idea is that our army cannot do something knowingly knowing that it cannot be done!"
As soon as these words came out, the generals in the camp were also a little confused. They didn't know what Xun Ke wanted to do. After a few seconds of silence, Wang Ye, who had just stood up to speak, stood up again and asked Xun Ke:
"General Xun, what do you mean? If we don't tear open the enemy's encirclement, how can we rescue General Cui and the others?"
Wang Ye's question expressed the thoughts of the generals in the camp. Everyone looked at Xun Ke, waiting for his answer!
Xun Ke didn't talk nonsense about this, but walked to the sand table calmly, then pulled out the dagger from his waist and inserted it at a coordinate on the east side of the Sanchuan River... ··········
Seeing what Xun Ke did, all the generals in the camp looked at each other in shock. After Guo Zhiping thought for a moment, a light flashed in his eyes. At this time, Xun Ke continued to speak:
"I know what everyone is thinking. The Shenwu Army camp is indeed a tough one. The scouts sent to see it reported that the camp is fully equipped with ditches, trenches, sentinels, towers, horses, etc. The Shenwu Army is also well-organized and heavily guarded!"
"But I think we can't be led by the old fox Shangguan Hongyuan! Walk into his carefully designed trap!"
"The biggest advantage of our army now is that we have the initiative in fighting! We can decide who to fight, while the enemy can only passively respond!"
"As the old saying goes, the best way to catch a thief is to catch the king first! We are going to Shangguan Hongyuan for this battle! As long as we break through the Shenwu Army's camp, the Liang Army must abandon the trap they designed and escape to support the Shenwu Army. ! In this way, the siege of Dakou Township is solved!"
As soon as these words came out, Guo Zhiping looked at Xun Ke and said calmly:
"Your idea is very good and bold, but have you ever considered whether our army can break through the Shenwu Army's camp?"
Xun Ke met Guo Zhiping's gaze and said in a deep voice:
"I think that instead of rushing into the trap, it's better to find another way and go directly towards Shangguan Hongyuan. In this situation, we have to either abandon the car to save the commander, or simply fight with the enemy. Other than that, there is no trick." The third way can be taken..."
"The east bank of the Sanchuan River is mostly a plain area suitable for cavalry attacks, while the direction where the Liang Army is stationed is the hilly area. The Liang Army has already built fortifications and artillery there, and is just waiting for our army to attack and break the blood, so I think it's all about risking my life no matter what, so I might as well just go and fight Shangguan Hongyuan!
"If God bless us to kill Shangguan Hongyuan and bring the smoky Luoan court to pieces, then it will be worthwhile for us to spend all our money!"
Xun Ke's words quickly infected the generals in the camp. After thinking about it, everyone felt that Xun Ke's words made sense, and expressed their opinions to Guo Zhiping:
"Commander, what General Xun said makes sense! He is all about desperate efforts. How can there be any reason to leave the big fish alone and fight with the small fish?"
"That's right! If Shangguan Hongyuan's head is cut off and presented to the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief will definitely give an order to reward our third army!"
"Brothers, just do the big one! Commander, there is nothing to hesitate about!"
··········
··········
Listening to the generals' statements, Guo Zhiping waved his hand to stop everyone's speech, and then said in a deep voice:
"You all go out, I want to discuss something with General Xun in detail!"
"yes!"
Under Guo Zhiping's order, all the generals exited the room, and soon only Guo Zhiping and Xun Ke were left in the camp.
After looking Xun Ke up and down carefully, Guo Zhiping said in a deep voice:
"You have the idea of breaking into the Shenwu Army camp!"
Feeling the affirmative tone in Guo Zhiping's mouth, Xun Ke hesitated for a moment and then said with a wry smile:
"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from the commander!"
After listening to Xun Ke's words, Guo Zhiping looked at him and continued to ask:
"What are you hesitating about?"
Xun Ke was silent for a while, sighed slightly and said:
"I used a telescope to observe the Shenwu Army's camp yesterday. The enemy's layout is indeed very sophisticated, and there are almost no opportunities to take advantage of it! If our army wants to get close to the enemy's camp, it will have to pay a lot of casualties. If we want to break through the enemy's camp It’s even more difficult..."
"However, our army still has tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder. If we can load these gunpowder onto the carriage and let the carriage crash into the Shenwu Army's camp, then our army may be able to open a gap in the Shenwu Army's camp. As long as our army Once you do this, the possibility of success for the rest of the things will be greatly enhanced!”
Listening to what Xun Ke said, Guo Zhiping also understood why Xun Ke hesitated. Although Xun Ke's method was to use a carriage, the carriage was so big and if you put it on the battlefield, the enemy would know there was something wrong at a glance. The attack will definitely be concentrated at that time, so these carriages will probably be blown up on the way to the charge before they reach the enemy camp!
So the actual implementer of this idea is people!
One hundred or even hundreds of cavalrymen carried gunpowder bags and rushed up quietly under the cover of their comrades. In this way, they could approach the camp without being noticed by the enemy and blast a hole on the wall of the camp. A big gap, but if you do this, the cavalry responsible for performing this task will almost die!
Looking at Xun Ke deeply, Guo Zhiping patted his shoulder and said:
"Compassion does not command troops!"
Hearing what Guo Zhiping said, Xunke secretly sighed in his heart. He knew that Guo Zhiping understood what he was thinking and had said everything that needed to be said. Just when Xunke was about to leave, Guo Zhiping seemed to have thought of something. He smiled and asked:
"Aren't you afraid that He Jingyun will punish you this time?"
Guo Zhiping did not seek He Jingyun’s consent for this action to support Dakou Township...
The reason is very simple. He knows that He Jingyun will not agree. He Jingyun's first task is to ensure that Jinzhong is not lost, so he will never allow Guo Zhiping to take this risk!
But for the sake of his subordinates and for his future reputation in the Fengwu Army, Guo Zhiping really couldn't choose to sit idly by!
Now that we already know the reason, why bother?
As for the power given by Ye Mingsheng to He Jingyun to kill first and then report later, Guo Zhiping did not take it seriously. He Jingyun asked Peng Ce for this, which was extremely outrageous. Because of this, Peng Ce was seriously injured. Although he has been rescued now, Judging from the situation, his vitality is severely damaged and he won't live much longer!
As for why Peng Ce was like this, He Jingyun had to bear a lot of responsibility, so He Jingyun also received a lot of criticism and accusations in the military!
Secondly, Guo Zhiping is the commander of the Third Army personally appointed by Ye Mingsheng. From top to bottom in the entire Fengwu Army, only Ye Mingsheng has the right to deal with him!
Even if the marshal gave He Jingyun the saber, He Jingyun wouldn't have the guts to kill him privately, otherwise He Jingyun will be the unlucky one when the war ends!
If he dares to touch the commander even if he is given a sword, then the commander-in-chief will probably think carefully about what else He Jingyun dare not do... ·············
Although he has his own calculations and considerations, Guo Zhiping also takes the overall situation into consideration and understands that Jinzhong is the top priority now. Even if all the third army under his command is exhausted, Jinzhong must not be lost!
Because of this, Guo Zhiping asked Xunke's Eighth Division to return to Jinzhong according to the original plan. In his plan, there were thousands of people left by Xunke's Eighth Division and thousands of people who had withdrawn from the Fourth Division. There are almost more than 30,000 Fengwu troops in Jinzhong City, and they will be able to survive even the worst situation!
Although Guo Zhiping had good ideas, what he didn't expect was that after understanding his plan, General Xun Ke of the Eighth Division ordered most of the troops of the Eighth Division to withdraw to Jinzhong, while Xun Ke himself He took two thousand soldiers and horses and insisted on following him to Dakou Township.
This also makes Guo Zhiping a little curious. He Jingyun may not have the courage to deal with him, Guo Zhiping, but he definitely has the courage to deal with him, Xun Ke!
What's more, the two of them had a quarrel before, and He Jingyun might not be able to take advantage of it!
In response to Guo Zhiping's inquiry, Xun Ke immediately said with emotion:
"The brothers of the Third Army saved us from fire and water. Now that General Cui is in trouble, Xun Ke naturally cannot stand idly by..."
Although on the surface he was talking about the righteousness of Ling Ran, Xun Ke felt a wry smile in his heart. If he really withdrew to Jinzhong, then there would definitely be no problem with He Jingyun, but his reputation as Xun Ke would be lost among the Fengwu Army. It stinks, if he runs away in the face of battle, he will be ungrateful and the infamy will be slapped on his head!
With such an infamy, Xun Ke will no longer be able to join the Fengwu Army, and his future will be bleak!
Therefore, Xun Ke thought for a long time and finally decided to bring two thousand people to follow Guo Zhiping!
As for He Jingyun's handling, Xun Ke believed that he was also the general of the Eighth Division. Although his status was not as good as Guo Zhiping, the commander of the Third Army, he was still one of the most senior generals in the Fengwu Army and could not be manipulated by He Jingyun casually.
He Jingyun must have the courage to deal with himself, but when he has forced Peng Ce to be seriously injured and the army continues to criticize him, even if he has the power given to him by the commander-in-chief, he still has to think carefully when dealing with a general. Think about it!
After listening to Xun Ke's clichés, Guo Zhiping, who was confused about Xun Ke's thoughts, smiled and shook his head. After a moment, he said calmly:
"Xun Ke, you are worthy of the title of wise general. You had a good idea today, so I came up with this plan. When I go back, I will tell He Jingyun and the commander-in-chief that I asked you to lead the troops here..." ··················”
Xun Ke was also very surprised when he said this, and looked at Guo Zhiping in disbelief. Wasn't Guo Zhiping trying to take the blame for him?
Facing Xun Ke's gaze, Guo Zhiping smiled and nodded to indicate that he heard correctly, and then continued:
"I don't have to worry if I have too many debts, and I won't be afraid to add your share to them!"
Seeing Guo Zhiping's free and easy look, Xun Ke was also a little moved. Guo Zhiping has always been said to be the most loyal and heroic in the Fengwu Army. He originally thought this was just a rumor, but when he saw it today, he was well-deserved. ah!
However, Xun Ke was still instinctively prepared to refuse. However, before he could speak, Guo Zhiping seemed to realize what he wanted to say. He waved his hand to interrupt Xun Ke and continued to give instructions:
"Since I entered the customs, I have been fighting for several consecutive years, from Youyan to Jiyu, and then from Jiyu to Yunbin. I am dissatisfied with you for saying that I am exhausted both physically and mentally. Moreover, my parents are getting older, and the previous military affairs I've been so busy that I haven't had time to honor them properly. If I don't honor them now, I might not have time anymore!
"So no matter whether I win or lose in this next battle, I want to rest for a while, so it is most appropriate for me to fight this matter... ·······”
