Chapter 469 The rice is ready, come and eat

"According to the information returned by the Spies, if it goes well, the court army will attack Xiangcheng as soon as the first month. I don't know why, how Li Yuanshan's men and women retreated so fast."

Zhuo Buyi sorted out the news from the flying fish robe, but his face was not a little relaxed: "I always feel that the progress of the imperial court is too smooth. Li Yuanshan has arranged a million troops on the east road of the south mountain road of Hexi Road. The troop strength is basically the same. Even if the army of the imperial court is better equipped, even if there are 200,000 soldiers on the road, there is no room to fight back. Li Yuanshan has operated on Shandong Road for 20 years and is also deployed throughout the northwest. After nearly three years, how could this be so bad? "

"It's a good thing that the court's rebellion is smooth. Why isn't Mr. Zhuo happy?"

Lu Fenghou twiddled the fire and smiled: "I felt a little slow, more than a million elites marched westward, and those soldiers under His Majesty Li Yuanshan were not soldiers at all. Fighting such opponents should be destroyed. I have n’t reached Xiangcheng in a month, why is it so fast? "

"Most of Li Yuanshan's soldiers are indeed not elite, but the one million people on the court side are very brave. Compared to Li Yuanshan's soldiers, there is nothing other than better weapons and equipment. Hexi Taoist generals Shi Lei is Li Yuanshan's No. 7 Tiger, and Li Yuanshan praises him for being a general. Such a person, with a nearly 500,000 troops in his hand, is a victory that has not been fought, isn't it strange? "

Zhuo Yiyi frowned.

The news that Fang Xie brought back the flying fish robes was read again, and his face was a little dignified: "From the news, although Shi Lei did not win the next match, each battle was fierce, and the court army won't win easily. In the battle of Mount Tai in the Qing Dynasty, the rebels lost 60,000 troops, and the army of the imperial court also damaged 40,000 horses, forcing Shi Lei to retreat fifty miles. In the Hengyuan World War, Shi Lei lost 40,000 troops, and the court valiantly lost 50,000 troops. It was the court that lost a lot, but because of the army's repeated attacks, Shi Lei had to retreat to Yangjiaoshan. "

"Yangjiao Mountain was defeated again in the first battle. Shi Lei returned to defend Qixia Pass. It took more than ten days for the imperial army to break through the barrier and lost tens of thousands of people. The rebels also lost 5,000 to 6,000. After the Qi Xia Pass was broken, Shi Lei took his troops back. , To the west bank of the Luoyang River for defense. The water channel of the Luoyang River is too narrow and not too deep. The court ca n’t get on the ship and can only set up a pontoon to cross the river. After 20,000 people were damaged, the rebels retreated to Weicheng. Weicheng is Hexi Road Daozhi is located, the city walls are tall and reinforced, the army of the imperial court besieged Weicheng for more than a month, and finally the army's stone-throwing vehicles were all brought together, and it was only after blasting off a corner of Weicheng.

"After successive battles, Shi Lei's people lost more than 50%, and the loss of the imperial army was about 150,000. Most of the dead were brave. Weicheng was the northeast barrier of Xiangcheng. Weicheng broke through without any danger, and the terrain of Mapingchuan was betrayed. The army couldn't stop the army of the imperial court. When the news came back, the army was only four hundred miles away from Xiangcheng. If Shi Lei couldn't hold the Tianjian Mountain, the army of the imperial court already gathered outside Xiangcheng. "

"Comparatively, He Ruoxiong, the rebel general of Shannandao, retreated faster. Right-forward general Xia Houzheng only took one guard and 80,000 valiant, and he swept Shannandao again. No strong defense has been formed. He Ruoxiong has retired into the northeast of Shandong Road with the disabled soldiers. If he takes a step back, it is not far from Xiangcheng. "

"There is Yin Poshan. After that defeat, Yin Poshan lost a small part of its troop strength. With the remnants on the south side of Mount Mengshan, it only lasted for less than a month before it began to retreat. It has retreated from Mount Mengshan in Ningyuan. Peng Pavilion, the first line of defense in the art industry, resists Luo Yao's left forward. Yin Poshan's defense line is also less than 400 miles away from Xiangzhou. "

Fang Xie roughly sketched the situation on the paper: "Xiahou is in the northeast, his army is in the east, Luo Yao's left-back is in the southwest, and three sides have been encircled. The rebels have contracted within a thousand miles, and Shi Lei's strength Half lost, He Ruoxiong lost half his strength, Yin Poshan lost half his strength ... "

After saying this, Fang Jie's brow gradually deepened.

"The numbers only look so coincidental when they are brought together."

Zhuo Buyi sighed: "Maybe, it's no coincidence ... He Ruoxiong's defense line is less than four hundred miles away from Xiangzhou. If Shi Lei's defense line has not been breached, it is also about four hundred miles away from Xiangzhou, Yin Poshan's defense line. It's still four hundred miles. If it's not a coincidence, it's someone who intentionally arranged it. "

Fang Xie turned to Sun Kai and said, "What's your opinion?"

Sun Kaidao sighed, "General, do you remember how the Western Army defeated?"

Fang Jie realized a moment of embarrassment, and his face became more dignified: "At the beginning, the army of the imperial court entered the Qingxia Gorge and invaded the Mandu banner. He soon controlled the entire territory of the Mandu Banner. Just when everyone in the Western Expedition thought it was easy and simple to win, Li Yuanshan loosened his defense and let the Mongolian wolf ride in to attack from behind. . "

After he had said this, everyone in the room was silent.

"It is the same?"

Sun asked.

He didn't wait for others to answer and sighed again: "Same ..."

Zhuo Buyi frowned: "Mr. Sun's meaning is that Shi Lei's repeated battles and defeats, and He Ruoxiong's defeat of thousands of miles, and even the defeat of Yin Poshan is a bait that has been arranged. The purpose is to seduce the army of the court Advance, so that the army of the imperial court did not stop thinking? Then what fierce killing arrangements did Li Yuanshan have, within this range, what would it be? "

"I do not know."

Sun Kaidao shook his head: "I only know that if no one in the army of the court notices this, the million men and horses are afraid of danger again this time. Shi Lei's successive battles are for drama, and He Ruoxiong's defeat is for drama, maybe Even the defeat of Yin Poshan, in which the General participated personally, was also a drama ... there was only one purpose. "

Zhuo Buyi was startled: "Emperor ?!"

...

...

Sun Kaidao took the tea Fang Xie delivered to him, and then curled up beside the stove: "Although it is less than one thousand and eighty miles apart, the climate is too far away. The subordinates never felt this way on the Mount Mangshan side. It was cold, although I felt that the winter was difficult at home, but at least I could hold it. When I got to Fan Gu, I knew what it was like to withstand the severe cold. My subordinates now suspected that if they left the stove, it would be impossible to burn incense. It must freeze to death. "

Fang Xie smiled: "You're too chill in your body, it seems you have to teach you some boxing skills, although you are a little bit late now, but at least you can make your body tough."

"My subordinate is old. When I was young, I once went to the lake to play with a few friends of the same age in the winter. The lake was frozen. When I was having fun, my subordinate stepped on the ice and fell. I went in. I was really frightened at that time, and kept calling people to save me. Those people were also frightened. Some people tried to come over, but they didn't dare to come too close. Then they all ran away. I was left alone struggling in the biting water. If it weren't for a group of passing merchants to see it, I was afraid that my subordinates would not even be ten years old. "

"Since then, my subordinates have this chilling problem. The weather is a little bit cold and you have to change to a cotton jacket. But Fan Gu is cold, not a cotton jacket."

Fang Xie covered his uncle on Sun Kaidao's body, and after sitting down opposite him, he made the fire even more pleasant.

"I met an old man in Beijing. Not only was he astonishingly amazing, but he was also very accomplished in medical practice. If I had a chance, I would ask him for a recipe."

"Thank you, General."

Sun Kaidao thanked him first, and then looked at Fang Jie and asked, "I have something to ask, but I dare not."

"Ask, are there anyone here?"

Fang Xie took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"General thought, what is the future of Da Sui?"

This question, Fang Jie is actually difficult to answer.

Sun Kaidao expected that Fang Jie would not answer, so he said to himself: "The subordinates said something bad, and from the perspective of the subordinates, it was not easy to rebel in the northwest. But after all, there is also Luo Yaohu watching around. Li Yuanshan and the army of the court will fight for your life. Luo Yao will never miss this opportunity. Once Luo Yao raises the anti-flag, how many people will the Western Army go back alive? "

"If it is unfortunate ... Your Majesty collapsed in the Northwest, the Prince was young, the Assistant Minister was in power, and Chao Gang was in chaos. Luo Yao waved his army eastward, who else could stop him? The world is bound to be chaotic. In the world, hundreds of thousands of horses can be recruited with huge profits in an instant. Even if Dongchu can't break the frontier defense line on the east side of Da Sui, it will definitely involve a large number of military forces. Dozens of clans in the North have long complained about Da Sui. Naturally, I will not let go of the opportunity. Besides ... Meng Yuan is sweating, and my vision is not as high as that of His Majesty. "

"If the world falls apart, where does the general go?"

This sentence is very direct.

For a while, I didn't know how to answer.

"From the perspective of his subordinates, the chaos in the Central Plains is unstoppable. Although the Sui Dynasty was strong for hundreds of years, it was too difficult to control because the foreign power was too strong. The original ancestors established the country and warned the royal descendants not to forget Based on the foundation of Wu Liguo, the power in the hands of the General of the 16th National Guard was too heavy, and it was so difficult that even the officials such as the governors of Xinjiang could not suppress it, and it was a weird thing to be trouble-free. Why did you catch up with this time ... Once there is any accident in the Northwest, it is not only Luo Yao who wants to take a share. "

"It's true that heavy military forces are too serious, but they have disadvantages. One hundred years of accumulated evils, once they broke out, at this time, even if His Majesty realized that it was fundamental, there was no way to stop it. Because it is a military general rather than a civil official to control chaos. . The greater the power of the general, the more chaotic it is. There is no solution to this situation. "

"The general is a hero, and he should know what his subordinates are saying. So the subordinates ask the army to plan early, otherwise, they are afraid of all beings."

Seeing the explanation, he did not refute, Sun Kaidao said positively: "From the perspective of his subordinate ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Now whether for himself or for the imperial court, he must expand his strength. There are many bandits in the northwest, and they want to recruit soldiers. It ’s not too difficult, but these people are useless. Forty thousand and eleven thousand cold rides on Wolf Rushan, if the general can hold it in his palm, is there any worry about the world falling apart? "

"Even if he didn't plan for the future, would the general think that with the 5,000 men and horses of the Shanzi Camp and Yangzi Camp, he would be able to stop the 200,000 army from the Yuan Dynasty?

Fang Jie still said nothing, his face was calm.

Sun Kai was a little suffocated, and lowered his voice, saying, "It's a big event, but not a bar, the general thinks about it ... The subordinate thought that the day after tomorrow would be the 15th day of the first month. Banquet, shouldn't Master Mou refuse? "

Fang Jie frowned, and her eyes flashed cold.

At this moment, there were suddenly soldiers begging outside. When someone came in, Fang Xie asked what was happening, and the soldiers said that someone had come up from Langru Mountain to see the general. Fang Xie asked the man to come in and saw that the relatives of Mou Liangzhang were working.

The team was saluting their fists, saying: "The day after tomorrow will be the fifteenth day of the first month, and Master Mou wants to send the army to the cottage for a rehearsal, and has prepared a banquet, only to wait for the general's arrival."
