After thinking carefully for a moment, Xun Ke was not sure whether to intercede with the commander for Lin Huaiwu...
However, Xun Ke became somewhat interested in one thing, which was how Lin Huaiwu learned about the commander's order in advance.
Judging from Yuan Song's words today, the commander-in-chief issued these series of orders at the general staff meeting five days ago.
Five days after the order was issued, Yuan Song rushed from Yijing to Jinzhong with the people and orders, which was already very fast.
But even so, Lin Huaiwu still received accurate information in advance. In this case, someone must have leaked the information at the staff meeting.
The staff meeting is the highest-level military meeting of the Fengwu Army. Those who can participate are senior generals or senior staff officers of the Fengwu Army. According to the principle of confidentiality, they are not allowed to leak any content about the staff meeting. Violators will be subject to a penalty. being dealt with seriously.
Although it is not known who gave the information to Lin Huaiwu, the only thing that is certain is that someone among the top leaders of the Fengwu Army is helping Lin Huaiwu, and this person must have a very close relationship with Lin Huaiwu, otherwise this person would not violate the principle of confidentiality. , came to inform Lin Huaiwu.
Realizing this, Xun Ke was also very curious about who this person could be. You must know that there was also a first-class staff officer who leaked the contents of the staff meeting before. He did not leak it intentionally, but accidentally leaked some details of the meeting. , he was exiled to the Posu Mansion by the commander...
And now this is a deliberate tip-off to Lin Huaiwu, and the nature is undoubtedly even worse, so if he is caught, he will most likely be beheaded!
Therefore, being able to take such a risk to inform Lin Huaiwu must have an extraordinary relationship with Lin Huaiwu!
While Xun Ke was thinking, a guard walked into the room and reported to Xun Ke in a low voice:
"Sir, the military officer just went to arrest Cheng Tiehu of the Second Army, but found that Cheng Tiehu has disappeared!"
Upon hearing the news, a flash of light flashed in Xun Ke's eyes. Although few people in the military knew about the relationship between Cheng Tiehu and Lin Huaiwu, Xun Ke, as a senior general on the Yunbin battlefield, had heard about it.
Xun Ke was not surprised that the military officer went to arrest Cheng Tiehu.
He all knew that Cheng Tiehu was Lin Huaiwu's glove, and the military officials must also know it. However, after all, Lin Huaiwu was the commander of the Second Army before and the commander-in-chief of the Yunbin battlefield. They did not dare to be too presumptuous and did not dare to do anything to Cheng Tiehu.
And now that Lin Huaiwu has been transferred away, the military officers naturally have no scruples and can go and arrest Cheng Tiehu boldly. However, now that Lin Huaiwu has just left, the military officers take action, which is really a bit embarrassing!
As for Cheng Tiehu's disappearance, Xun Ke felt that it was more likely that he would disappear passively than actively disappearing!
Since Lin Huaiwu has learned the news in advance, he will definitely not sit still and wait for death. In addition to finding himself to intercede on his behalf, he will definitely have other methods. In such a dangerous situation, some methods of abandoning the car to protect the commander have to be used. ···························
Thinking of this, Xun Ke had an idea in his mind. He felt that although Lin Huaiwu was in crisis at this time, he had helpers in the center, and now he had wiped his own butt. Therefore, Xun Ke felt that Lin Huaiwu could survive this crisis. The possibility is still very high!
If this is the case, if he does not keep his promise this time, then he and Lin Huaiwu will probably turn against each other, so he might as well help him, but now he is not sure what the commander-in-chief is going to do to Lin Huaiwu, so even if it is to plead for mercy, give him The commander-in-chief should also be more cautious when writing this letter, so as not to give anyone any clues.
Now that he had an idea, Xun Ke started to write. After burning the incense, he finished writing a letter. Looking at the ink on the letter, Xun Ke nodded with satisfaction. He mainly reported this letter to Ye Mingsheng. The progress of the Third Division's restoration of the Third Army's organization was briefly mentioned. Lin Huaiwu's help to him and the Third Division was briefly mentioned, as well as Lin Huaiwu's achievements on the Yunbin battlefield.
Xun Ke felt that what he wrote was worthy of the friendship between him and Lin Huaiwu. After confirming that there was no problem, Xun Ke put the letter paper into an envelope and prepared to send someone to Yi Jing to hand it over to Ye Mingsheng tomorrow.
After doing this, Xun Ke was so drunk that he woke up more than half and immediately took out the battle plan that Yuan Song gave him.
Because there were many things during the day, Xun Ke did not take a glance at the plan even though he got it. Even though it was late at night and it was time to rest, but in anticipation of the war, Xun Ke decided to take a glance and continue sleeping... ··························
I originally planned to just glance at it and go to bed, but as I opened the battle plan, Xun Ke also fell into it.
Regarding the military actions of the Fengwu Army after the beginning of spring, although the General Staff had not given clear instructions before, everyone had expected it.
After all, on the Yunbin battlefield last year, although the Fengwu Army achieved its planned combat objectives, many shortcomings were exposed during the combat process, and the price paid was not satisfactory. At this stage, the commander-in-chief also deployed many troops from the rear. The few men and horses were replenished and the third division was restored to the formation of the third army. All these things also illustrate the commander's will.
To be honest, even if Yuan Song didn't come with this battle plan, Xun Ke had already discussed it with Lin Huaiwu before and wanted to come up with a battle plan and hand it over to him.
Although Lin Huaiwu has been transferred away now, the transfer of Yuan Song, the top general of the Fengwu Army, to Yunbin is enough to show the commander-in-chief's determination to launch a war against Yunbin!
It took Xun Ke a full hour to read through the combat plan, and he also roughly understood the general staff's combat intentions!
Strategically speaking, the General Staff's plan is to concentrate nearly 100,000 troops from the Second Army and the Third Army after the beginning of spring, launch a large-scale offensive against Jinyang and its surrounding areas, and strive to capture Jinyang within two months. Yang, completely annihilate the main force of Yun Bing's army...
Considering that Jinyang is one of the few fortified cities in the north, and the defenders Wang Muzhi and Yun Bingjun have good combat effectiveness, and brought a lot of trouble to the Fengwu Army in the previous two Yunbin Wars, the General Staff also planned Let Ye Dong's 9th Division and Chen Chuanwu's 10th Division be given to Yunbin battlefield as reserve forces.
Once the war does not go smoothly, more than 30,000 people from these two divisions will be thrown into the battlefield as a viable force to continue to implement the combat plan!
Xun Ke was also a little surprised by this. In the combat order of the Fengwu Army, Ye Tie's fifth division, Ye Dong's ninth division, and Chen Chuanwu's tenth division, although they belonged to the combat order of the field army, were in the Under Ye Mingsheng's arrangement, the more than 50,000 people in these three divisions basically belong to the security and stability maintenance force.
These three divisions were deployed in the rear to maintain the rule of the Fengwu Army and ensure that Ye Mingsheng's will and the many reform measures of the Fengwu Army could be implemented. In addition, they also served as firefighters during wartime. They will be used!
Although Xun Ke had already sensed Ye Mingsheng's determination by restoring the establishment of the Third Army and transferring Yuan Song to serve as the commander-in-chief of Yunbin, Xun Ke still felt that Ye Mingsheng's determination was felt when he saw that the General Staff directly planned two divisions as reserve forces. Determination is greater than he imagined!
Roughly speaking, this is the combat plan. As for the specific tactical deployment, Xun Ke feels that it is very innovative and prudent and pragmatic. Except for some details that still need to be discussed, in general, this combat plan is still very implementable. High.
If everything in the battle plan can be implemented, then there is still a great hope of completing the battle goal of capturing Jinyang and annihilating the main force of the Yun Bing Army!
If this step can really be achieved, it will definitely severely damage the confidence of the Luo'an court. At that time, what will the dignitaries of the Luo'an court do under the internal and external troubles... ···········
······························
······························
Luo'an, Shangguan Mansion
Looking at his father who was very weak lying on the bed, Shangguan Changgong's eyes were full of anxiety. When the doctor Zhang who was responsible for treating the disease finished giving Shangguan Hongyuan the injection, he took the doctor Zhang outside the house. Asked eagerly:
"Doctor Zhang, how is my father doing now?"
Feeling Shangguan Changgong's nervousness, Doctor Zhang stroked his white beard and said:
"The condition of Lord Chief Assistant is basically stable now and the situation has improved. The follow-up remains to be seen!"
Listening to Dr. Zhang's words, Shangguan Changgong's eyes suddenly burst into joy. Although in a powerful family like theirs, it is not uncommon for father and son to turn against each other due to power, and it is not uncommon for brothers to fight against each other. But now as long as his father Shangguan Hongyuan dies, He can immediately take over the position of chief assistant and become the actually most powerful person in the Luo'an court!
But Shangguan Changgong hopes that this scene will never happen. This is not only because of the deep love between him and Shangguan Hongyuan as father and son, but also because Shangguan Changgong understands that although his father has made a lot of preparations for his succession, Shangguan Changgong has no regard for his own. Ability to be very self-aware.
Shangguan Changgong really lacks enough confidence in whether he can stabilize the situation in the Luo'an court and resist the wolf-like Fengwu army... ·······
Facing a powerful enemy like the Fengwu Army, the Luo'an court was already at a disadvantage. If his father left at this time, although he had made a lot of preparations, the turmoil in the Luo'an court would naturally be inevitable, so Shangguan Changgong hoped from the bottom of his heart that his father, Shangguan Hongyuan, must persevere now.
"Mr. Zhang, you said my father's condition has improved, can he get better?" Shangguan Changgong asked expectantly:
Facing Shangguan Changgong's earnest inquiry, Doctor Zhang also felt Alexander. After hesitating for a while, he decided to preach in a very imitative way:
"Although Lord Chief Assistant's condition has improved in the past few days, the specific situation still needs to be observed and observed. It's hard to say everything yet!"
Although Doctor Zhang spoke tactfully, Shangguan Changgong understood what he meant when he worded his words so carefully, and the expectation in his eyes gradually dissipated. After a moment of silence, he asked:
"Mr. Zhang, I know my father's illness. You doctors have done your best. I am very grateful to you for your diagnosis and treatment of my father. I have been prepared for this step. Just tell me the truth and tell me." Give me a solid foundation!"
Seeing that Shangguan Gongdu had spoken for this reason, Doctor Zhang hesitated for a moment and could only bite the bullet and said:
"Based on the current situation of Lord Chief Assistant, there should be no problem within a month, but I am not sure how long it will last..." ·····”
"Of course, the Chief Assistant is the pillar of the country, and the head of hundreds of officials will be blessed by God. I believe that the Chief Assistant will be able to turn danger into good this time!"
Listening to the last auspicious words of Doctor Zhang, Shangguan Changgong smiled wryly, nodded and then ordered:
"My father's situation has been entrusted to a few imperial doctors. Our Shangguan family has also prepared a small gift for them. You can go to the housekeeper!"
Listening to Shangguan Changgong's words, a hint of joy flashed in the depths of Doctor Zhang's eyes. Although Shangguan Changgong only said it was a small gift, Doctor Zhang understood that this must be a big and fat red envelope, and everyone should say less. There are fifty taels of silver.
Although they make a lot of money as imperial doctors, the cost of living in Luo'an is too high to raise a large family, so it is very good to have such an unexpected windfall. Although they really want to accept it directly, Zhang On the surface, the imperial doctor still declined politely:
"Master Shangshu, you are too polite. We are just trying our best. We deserve it!"
"Doctor Zhang, what are you talking about? It's just a little care. My father's condition depends entirely on a few people..."
After being polite, Shangguan Changgong asked the housekeeper to send these imperial doctors away. To be honest, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, there was no need to be so polite to these imperial doctors, but in order for these imperial doctors to do their best to treat them, Shangguan Changgong could only Corporal courtesy.
After doing this, Shangguan Changgong returned to his father's house. As he walked outside the door, a maid brought a bowl of fragrant meat porridge.
Seeing this, Shangguan Changgong couldn't help but asked:
"My dad is awake?"
The little maid timidly said:
"Yes, sir, the old man just woke up and said he wanted to eat meat porridge!"
Shangguan Changgong nodded slightly when he heard this, then took the bowl of meat porridge and entered the room. At this time, Shangguan Hongyuan, the powerful man in the room, was looking at the ceiling with his eyes open, wondering what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Shangguan Changgong took a spoonful of meat porridge from the bowl, blew the hot air on it, and brought it to Shangguan Hongyuan's mouth and said respectfully:
"Dad, it's time for you, old man, to eat..."
(Recently, bookings have been on a decline. What do you think of the recent plot? I’m all ears!)
