Devil’s Advent - Vol 4 Chapter 31
The wind in the winter keeps dipping into the gap of the big tent, eagerly wanting to take away all the gentleness inside, and repeat it again and again.
Xie Yuan sat in the handsome seat,
In front of him, there were two piles of military newspaper papers.
He has already seen it,
Do not,
To be precise,
I have seen it many times in the past few days.
The curtain of Shuai Teng was lifted from the outside, bringing in more cold wind, which made the pages of the book rustle.
Xiong Tingshan walked in, with three people standing beside him.
One surnamed Zhao, Zhao Han, over fifty years old, the old patriarch of the Zhao clan died of illness two years ago, now he is the contemporary patriarch of the Zhao clan;
One surnamed Shi, named Shi Yong, was the successor of the Shi family and served in the Imperial Forbidden Army;
The last one was an eunuch. Da Chu did not have the position of supervising the army and eunuch. To a certain extent, the Da Chu nobles with deep moral and cleanliness disdain for eunuchs. Therefore, the status of eunuchs in Da Chu has not been high.
It is precisely because of this that he was kept in the army to serve as a relay between the emperor and the frontline. The emperor promised Xie Yu’an not to interfere in the frontline warfare, so he would leave a person with a very low status here to prevent him. Ultra vires.
The five people in the handsome account right now can be said to be the real people in the front line camp of Chu State.
Xiong Tingshan was not aggressive this time, let alone aggressive, but took the initiative to walk to a seat next to him and sit down.
The other three also took their seats.
Xie Yuan raised his head, glanced at the four people below, and said nothing.
The atmosphere in the handsome tent went from the original silence to the silence.
at last,
The first to break the silence,
It’s Duke Wu.
Grandpa Wu got up cautiously, did not stand in the center, nor did he deliberately pinch his throat, but his voice was still very weak:
“Your Majesty has a reply.”
Xiong Tingshan, Zhaohan, and Shi Yong stood up at the same time, ready to go out and kneel;
Even Xie Yu’an, who was sitting in the handsome seat like a wooden person, put his hands on the case at this moment, ready to get up.
“This is not a sacred decree, nor a verbal order. Your Majesty has said that he will not make any will on the front line, so please sit back and listen.”
Everyone hesitated, but Xie Yuan sat down first;
When the others saw this, they all returned to their positions and sat down.
“Your Majesty said, Xie Zhuguo’s letter, he read it.
Your Majesty said, thank you Zhuguo for your hard work.
His Majesty finally said that Governor Xie still decides matters on the front line. ”
After Wu Gonggong said this, he saluted all of you in a half-blessed manner, then sat down and continued to smile.
Xie Yu’an looked at Duke Wu emphatically. He didn’t believe that the emperor would really delegate power completely. Otherwise, Duke Wu would not need to come in with him at this time.
The Zhao clan represents an inherent force like Dugu’s family that has been with the emperor for a long time;
The Shi family represents the headquarters of the imperial imperial army;
Ding the prince, represents the large-scale Shanyue faction in the army;
He, or rather, the Xie family behind him, represents a noble power that is declining but can barely be called a lean camel.
The emperor will fill in the remaining blanks;
It came so neatly, it came so directly, and it came so just right. If it had not been discussed in advance, and if there was no tendency in his heart, Xie Yuan would not believe it.
Shi Yong opened the mouth and said: “The governor, the final general boldly advises.”
“It’s hard to say, but it doesn’t hurt to say it.”
“Yes, I believe the governor has read Xie Zhuguo’s letter.”
Xie Yu’an was noncommittal.
Shi Yong stood up,
Continue:
“According to the news from our Fengchao Neiwei in the east of Jin Dynasty, the Yan Kingdom sent a 200,000 Yan army to support the east of Jin. The direction has been shifted.
Therefore, the general thought that the main force of the 200,000 reinforcements of the Yan Kingdom’s court should have entered the territory of my great Chu, but it was not from Zhennan Pass to go out of Shanggu County, but from Mengshan Mountain. ”
Xie Yuan opened the mouth and said; “The terrain of Mengshan Mountain is not easy to walk.”
Shi Yong immediately followed up: “The Governor, although the Yan people have not rushed to build their large-scale navy over the years, they have never stopped building water conservancy, especially the former five princes of Yan. The current Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has personally visited the lower reaches of the Wangjiang River twice in five years to inspect the river works.
Moreover, the palace in Jindong seems to be particularly fascinated by this type of construction. Today’s Mengshan Mountain may not be so difficult to leave. Even if it is difficult to move, it will be transported in batches after such a long time. Can be shipped.
Moreover, the most difficult part of Mengshan is that it is difficult to import large-scale food supplies in the rear, and the logistics is difficult to last, which does not mean that it is difficult for people to move in a single step.
Otherwise, how did the regent then enter Chu by boat?
At the time of the year…How could the sinner Nianyao enter Fancheng from the north?
In addition, over the years, Fan Cheng should have also stored a lot of food, grass and military needs, which should be enough for the Yan people’s army for a while.
After transporting a large-scale army, there will be another battle that does not need to be protracted but a quick decision. In the end, the general thinks that it is more than enough. ”
Xie Yuan raised his head.
Road:
“The land of Jin is vast and flat, and the Yanren cavalry is like the wind. Moreover, the land of Jindong is almost completely under the control of the palace, and the army is secretly dispatched on its own land. As far as the palace is concerned, it is not a difficult task at all.”
“Does the governor do not believe in the loyalty of my Fengchao inner guard? The governor thinks that my Fengchao inner guard sent false news?”
Xie Yu’an shook his head and said: “The inner guards of Fengchao, especially those in Yandi, are all good sons of my Dachu.”
“The governor…”
“The problem is that if the palace wanted it, it would be able to deceive everyone, even their own officials, it would be difficult for them to figure out where their army is going and which way they are taking.”
“How can it be…”
“Nothing is impossible.” Xie Yuan glanced at Shi Yong and said frankly: “Your Shi family has been a pure minister for a long time, and there is no great fief and no other thoughts.
Put it this way,
If I Xie wants to rebel,
It is completely possible to make the Xie’s soldiers go west while presenting you the Fengchao Neiweibaobao on the Shijia desk, which is east. ”
This example is a bit too violent, so violently that everyone in the room does not know how to answer the conversation.
Xie Yuan continued:
“The land is your land, the people are your people, the soldiers are your soldiers, and even the fish in the streams listen to your orders. At this time, if the territory is a little bigger, it’s not difficult to hide from the sky in your own territory. .
I’m like this,
His regent is in Jindong, only worse than my Xie family. ”
Shi Yong pursed his lips and sat down.
Zhaohan stood up and said: “The governor is talking about the Jin area. We can say that the mountain is like a world away. What about my Chu area? Yan Ren is very cautious, but he still shows his hands and feet in Sansuo County and Liusha County. A cavalry with a scale of tens of thousands, more than a month ago, from east to west, interspersed in the direction of Fancheng.
This is the mobilization of the elite of the Jindong Army, and it will never deceive.
This is also enough to confirm and explain that not only the main force of the Yan court has entered the west of Chu, but also nearly half of the main force of the Jindong army led by the regent on the opposite side has been transferred to the west of Chu.
Because the defense line of our three counties is unbreakable, the Yan people have nothing to do, they can only find breakthroughs in other directions. The direction that the Yan people are looking for is in the west of Chu, in the ancient city of Yue, and in…Xie Zhuguo.
at this point……”
Xie Yuan suddenly let out a sneer.
Road:
“Half of the Jindong elites in front of you have already left Sansuo County and Liusha County to Chuxi? How can you be sure, Uncle Zhao.”
“Everything, there are traces to follow.”
“Then how did the Duguzhu country be blocked by the Yan army outside Fancheng for some reason?” Xie Yu’an asked, “Among the Yan people, no, it is in the Eastern Jin army. There are too many generals, so the cavalry Covering the battlefield is what they are best at.”
“This is not the same, the governor, the regent who went out of Nanguan to Fancheng in the past, the method of covering is the first time, so that I can not tell the movement for a while.
How could it be possible to really leave no traces?
Besides, time has passed so long, isn’t it?
In addition, the Yan people originally used worthless savage slave soldiers to infiltrate and ravage the land of our three counties. Why more than a month ago, they suddenly switched to the Yan Ren court system of soldiers and horses?
The autumn harvest is over a long time ago, and the people have gathered in groups and been protected by our army. Now, for the Yan people, there is little credit and serious casualties. Why do they do this?
Was it true that the regent looked down on the army’s power of the court and asked them to train in advance? ”
Xie Yuan looked at Zhaohan,
Road:
“What do you think?”
“The purpose is to give us an illusion and create a situation where there are many soldiers and horses after his camp.
Furthermore, why did the Yan people build a large number of fortifications like crazy in the past few months?
Did the Yan people infiltrate my Chu State, or did my Chu army infiltrate its Yan land?
A large number of civil servants called, a large number of projects were started, in fact…
It is the illusion that is used as a cover.
He is guilty! ”
“Oh.” Xie Yu’an asked, nodding his head, “Do you think that the regent of the Yan Kingdom, our Da Chu’s nomination, Zheng Fan, hand-stained with the blood of the three pillars of my Chu Kingdom,”
Will he be guilty?
If he really wants to cover up,
Why not do nothing?
He just shut the gate of the village,
Do not,
Even if he left the gate of the village wide open for you to see,
Could it be that I, Chu Jun, would be fine if he took the initiative to fight out? ”
Zhaohan paused for a while, but continued: “Yesterday, the latest memorial from the west was reported to the handsome account.”
Xie Yuan didn’t hide it.
Nodding:
“It’s a letter from my father. What I saw is the same as what you saw.”
“In that case, why doesn’t the governor believe in Xie Zhuguo’s judgment?”
“My father is not a god, and my father makes mistakes.”
“Xie Zhuguo saw it with his own eyes. Why did you think it was wrong? Xie Zhuguo used himself as bait, sacrificed himself for justice, attracted the main force of the Yan army, and created such a god-given opportunity for my army on the front line. The governor, why keep shrinking!”
Xie Yu’an pressed her hand,
Road:
“You said, what should we do?”
Zhaohan licked his lips, took a deep breath, and said:
“It’s too late to help Guyue City.”
Saying this, Zhao Han couldn’t help but pay attention to Xie Yu’an’s expression, seeing Xie Yu’an’s expression as usual.
Continue:
“The regent claimed to have entered Chu with 500,000 troops, but the real soldiers are at most 200,000, and there may not even be 200,000.
Counting the fact that the troops going westward were drawn, there should be only one hundred thousand soldiers under the hands of the regent in front of him.
Originally, the reason why our army chose to shrink from the beginning of the confrontation was because at the beginning, although our army had superior strength, its combat strength…may be equal to that of the Yan army;
However, in the past few months, a large number of troops have been transferred to the three counties to enrich the frontier army. The Yan Dynasty court reinforcements that our army was afraid of were not in Shanggu County, and the soldiers and horses under the regent’s headquarters have changed less and changed. Weak.
So now,
Our army can be a five-way army, and at the same time, it will not only defeat the immediate Yan army’s obstruction, but also have a great opportunity to push into Shanggu County…
and even,
Due to the fact that Jindong’s soldiers came out in full force this time, Zhennanguan’s defenses are bound to be weak.
If you can win Zhennan Pass,
Then the power of my great Chu and Yan Kingdom will be reversed immediately!
That is, the Yan army still has a large number of soldiers and horses stagnant in my Chuxi, as long as our army gets stuck in Zhennan Pass, what can he do?
At most,
It’s all about returning to Fancheng, and it’s really hard to tell how much you can withdraw at that time! ”
“Papa! Papa!”
Xie Yuan applauded.
Admired:
“What you said really made me feel excited, as if the revival of my great Chu is just before my eyes.”
“The governor has something to say, but he can speak bluntly.”
Xie Yuan stood up directly,
Kicked over the desk in front of him,
Scolded:
“What kind of battle is to be fought, and what kind of battle is needed? Everyone washes and sleeps together. Don’t you have everything in your dreams!
Qu Tiannan thought the same way as you back then!
Nian Yao thought so much like you back then!
Shi Yuantang thought the same way as you back then!
There is also the Dugu Pillar Kingdom, and there are so many, so many, why can’t I change this problem in my Chu people’s mind?
Best case,
Not only will the regent be expelled from Shanggu County, but also Zhennanguan will be taken back. Okay, the world is going on, and I will be brought back by Da Chu!
But have you ever thought about it,
In case you lose the bet,
I have hundreds of thousands of troops,
One after another,
Crossing the Weihe River,
Into the upper valley,
Once the bet is lost,
How many children can swim back alive again?
Without these hundreds of thousands of imperial imperial forces blocking the three counties,
The horseshoe of the Yanren,
Go to Gyeonggi every day!
I am great,
There will be no room for turning over again! ”
At this time,
Xiong Tingshan stood up,
Quite calmly:
“So, in case Yanren really did something like this, our prediction was correct, but we didn’t do anything.
The governor,
You want to just sit like this,
Waiting for the news of your father’s death in battle? ”
“That’s my dad. Even if he is dead, my only son will come to give him a cry!”
Xiong Tingshan shouted:
“Yes, you can lose your father, but I, Da Chu, can no longer bear the loss of losing a pillar country and the last pillar country inexplicably, do you know!”
“…” Xie Yu’an.
Xiong Tingshan stretched out his hand and pointed to the outside of the handsome tent,
Continue to roar:
“Shanggu has long been lost because of the change of Nanguan Pass in the town. Liusha County and Sansuo County have long become enclaves, and Fancheng has fallen there, which is also a ruined county;
What’s more, now our army is on the front line, which is also the land of the three counties, reduced to a battlefield!
Although my great Chu has a vast territory, the true essence of my great Chu is not in the south of Chu, but in the north of Chu.
His surname is Zheng,
He came back this year and returned without success. He can go back.
Do it again next year, and do it again the next year!
How many times can I support it? Can I still see hope? ”
Xiong Tingshan pointed his finger at Shi Yong, and pointed at Zhaohan.
Pointed to Duke Wu again:
“Don’t you think they don’t know, don’t you think your majesty doesn’t know, even, don’t you think you don’t know?
What is the result of being a tortoise?
Every year I was beaten, every year I was consumed like this, ha ha ha.
One goes down, one goes down and the other grows. In the end, I’m a Chu people, is it possible that I can only pray to the great witch to correct them, and curse the regent or the Emperor of Yan to be able to stand up?
If they are still alive and live a long time, I will be suffocated to death, suffocated…to die without fighting back.
You don’t even need him Zheng Fan to bring the soldiers here.
He can let his next generation lead the army, and he can easily push down this weak Chu…
My country of Chu is not a country of origin~www.mtlnovel.com~ The country of origin is a wealthy land in the south of the Yangtze River. How long can I continue for the country of Chu from the south of Chu?
Governor Xie,
In fact, these truths,
We all understand that originally, we agreed with your strategy, to keep chanting, to keep a hope, for the people of Chu, to keep a chance to see the sky tomorrow.
and so,
Governor Xie, you shouldn’t think that we are forcing you today.
None of us would bet,
Even your Majesty, dare not gamble!
It’s your father,
It’s your dad,
He has already put himself, Xie’s, and my entire Da Chu on the gaming table!
One,
A table we can’t afford to lose at all.
If Xie Zhuguo died in battle, it meant that the main force of the Yan army was indeed in the west of Chu.
With the death of Xie Zhuguo, for my great Chu, I will add another Jiazi! ”
Xie Yuan sat back in the handsome seat in a frustrated manner.
But soon,
He recovered his emotions,
Reach out,
Propped his forehead,
Suddenly laughed:
“Hahaha, hahahaha…”
Xie Yuan stretched out his hand and wiped his face vigorously.
Looked up,
With a grinning smile:
“Therefore, now I have a plan for me, a plan for the people of Chu, and a plan for this country;
The Governor can only pray,
My dad,
Die sooner? ”
