Hidden Sky Light - Chapter 142

In the camp, Shen Ci was calmer than ever before.

Over the past month or so, from the mutual test with Wu Sutai at the beginning, to the head-to-head confrontation between the two sides, Shen Ci’s understanding of Wu Sutai has been enriched and deepened little by little.

In the same way, Wu Sutai is also adapting and counterattacking quickly to his combat and strategy.

This is not an adventure.

The military line is dangerous, the original military affairs.

All military adventures are based on a sufficient understanding of both sides and are deduced.

Wu Sutai is the main battle, although he is a big cloud, but if the country supports him, he will not fight so carefully. If he wants to persuade the country to continue to increase troops on the northern border of the forest, the best way is to take the enemy. The head coach is his head.

This is the best help for Wu Sutai to win the support of the middle school for him to continue southward.

Therefore, Wu Sutai is taking every step at the moment, and the only risk he may take is on him.

But in the same way, taking Wu Sutai’s head is also the best way to prevent Barr from going south.

It is not a risk, but in all countermeasures, both sides will choose the most beneficial way.

“Topographic map.” Shen Ci ordered.

Zhao Lunchi stepped forward.

Zhao Lun’s identity in the army is his guard. In addition to the task of taking care of the old man in the army, he will also appear in the main business together with Shen Ci for the past month. He is there for every battle analysis.

Although there is a sand table in front of you, the sand table is not the same as the topographic map.

The sand table can look at the overall situation and the terrain, but the combat map is more intuitive, looking at the route of travel and the route of attack. Therefore, when planning the battle, the sand table and the battle map will be compared together.

Zhao Lunchi posted the battle map and assisted on one side, and everyone turned their attention from the sand table to the battle map.

“Tell me about the situation in the area around Tanluo.” Shen Ci ordered.

“Yes!” Yu Ya responded, “Wusutai camped in Tanluo and competed head-to-head with Linbei Houying. One of the Baal cavalry stationed in Tanluo these few days, and one of Linbei Houying’s troops, have always been The battle in the area of ​​Slender Dog Ridge. Because the number of Balqi soldiers in this group is not large, but we have an advantage in numbers, so there are winners and losers, but both sides are increasing their troops and want to take the area around Slender Dog Ridge. Now, it’s the fifth day.”

Yu Ya has been in charge of the deployment of troops in the Houying area of ​​Linbei, and knows the situation in the Shougouling area best.

Shen Ci stepped forward, with his fingertips light on the map in the area of ​​Slender Dog Ridge, and then Yu Ya said, “Starting tomorrow, we will withdraw troops from the Slender Dog Ridge area one after another. It will take about three days for the other party to slowly react to us. We are adjusting them one after another. The troops near Tanluo, especially in the area of ​​Slender Gou Ridge. The movements should not be obvious, so we set up a suspicious formation and let the other party think about it. The purpose is to make them suspicious. Wu Sutai uses his troops carefully. , General Yu, at this time, you will lead the main force of the rear battalion to bypass the Thin Dog Ridge and storm the Luguan in front of the Tanluo camp.”

“Luguan?” Yu Ya hugged his arms, “Luguan didn’t put much force on the other side. If they were defeated, they could join forces with Shougouling to form a swaying trend to curb the movement of Tanluo’s forces, but only if Shougouling was taken. Otherwise, it would be tasteless to take Luguan, what does the general want Luguan to do?”

Shen Ci looked at him, “I don’t want Luguan, this is for Wu Sutai to see, with Wusutai’s caution, he will not pay attention to you, he will continue to wait and see, you continue to fight, and it will take another two days. , At this time, General Zhou, you started to lead your troops to attack Shougou Ling again, and then the soldiers who attacked Luguan earlier also turned their horses, pressed their forces up, and attacked Shougou Ling together. These few days are enough time for me to lead After the soldiers detoured to Tanluo camp, they pretended to attack the camp. The harder you fought, the more they would feel that they were confused by withdrawing from Shougou Ling earlier, attacking Luguan later, and now re-attacking Shougou Ling. Their sight is to make time for me to sneak attack them from behind the Tanluo camp.”

Zhou Shijun nodded, “I see, General Shen attacked Luguan for the sake of Wu Sutai’s suspicion. If he didn’t do so many things, it would be difficult to take the bait with Wu Sutai’s cautiousness. By doing this, Wu Sutai thought that we were desperate. It’s all about creating an opportunity for the general to attack Tanluo’s camp.”

“Yes.” Shen Ci replied, “It’s all for Wu Sutai, so we have to act realistically, whether it’s withdrawing troops from Slender Dog Ridge or attacking Luguan, all of them must be real, and finally attack Slender Dog Ridge, I must fight to the death. The harder I fight, the more real it will be. When I am defeated, I will escape from the rear of the Tanluo camp and induce Wu Sutai to chase me. At this time, General Yu and Zhou are in front of Shougouling The general led the troops involved, Lao Han, Lao Guo, you two left one of the garrison in the middle battalion to attack the two grain warehouses, they didn’t have time to react, do you remember the location?”

After Shen Ci said, he looked at Zhao Lunchi.

For the past month or so, Zhao Lunchi has been very aware of Shen Ci’s habit of deploying in battle. As soon as Shen Ci finished speaking, Zhao Lunchi had already laid out the topographical maps of the two hidden granaries that Shen Ying had drawn when he passed by as a caravan.

Shen Ci looked at him and said nothing.

Guo Zixiao also responded first, “Oh, remember, Shen…”

Guo Zixiao paused, then changed his tune, “Master Gu mentioned these two granaries.”

Guo Zixiao and Han Guan both knew Shen Ying, but Guo Zixiao almost leaked his words just now, Shen Ying’s whereabouts are unknown, and the current Mr. Gu is from Beijing to join the army.

Han Guan also responded, “Yes, it’s these two places, I have an impression.”

Shen Ci nodded, “It’s these two granaries, there is only one chance, and when Wu Sutai reacts, there will be no chance again, so we must burn these two grains at all costs, can we do it?”

“Yes!” Han Guan and Guo Zixiao said loudly.

They are all generals who have followed Shen Ci at the border of Licheng for many years, and they are very clear about the meaning of Shen Ci.

Seeing Han Guan and Guo Zixiao answering, Zhao Lunchi on one side also felt inexplicably excited.

“The topographic map of the food-changing horse road.” Shen Ci commanded.

Zhao Lunchi reacted and quickly changed to the topographic map of the grain and horse road where the two sides were fighting.

“General Zhou.” Shen Ci called out, and Zhou Shijun stepped forward.

Shen Ci continued to tap the two grain-horse roads on the topographic map with his fingertips, “There are two grain-horse roads for the enemy. Bring heavy troops to cut off their supply lines and persist for ten days. Ten days is enough to make them desperate.”

“Yes!” Zhou Shijun cupped his hands.

Shen Ci withdrew his hand, “But these ten days are also dangerous, and they will be attacked by both sides. Lao Han and Lao Guo will go to these two grain and horse roads to assist General Zhou to defend after the sneak attack on the granary.”

“Yes!” Han Guan and Guo Zixiao handed over again.

Finally, Shen Ci looked at Yu Ya, “General Yu, we will transfer troops in these two days. Except for the minimum number of guarding Linbei City, all the other garrisoned troops will attack. Baal is mainly cavalry. This is the best time to fight to the death, don’t defend, the harder you fight this battle, the more casualties the opponent will suffer, the faster Barr will retreat this round, and there will be infighting. The harder you fight, the more they will It is a big taboo in the military to worry about food and horses, and the situation in Lin Bei will be turned over in ten days.”

“Yes!” Yu Ya handed over!

The entire process of arranging troops, and the process of taking orders one by one, made Zhao Lunchi, who had been in Beijing for the first time, enthralled.

In such a situation, it’s hard not to want to charge and fight the enemy bravely.

Zhao Lunchi also suddenly felt that he also wanted to become anyone in this camp one day.

Shen Ci who gave orders, or Yu Ya, Zhou Shijun, Han Guan or Guo Zixiao who took orders in turn…

These seem to have endless yearning and longing.

But Yu Ya’s words interrupted Zhao Lunchi’s thoughts.

Yu Ya said solemnly, “General, among all deployments, you are the most dangerous…”

The entire main tent also reacted. Yes, all the deployments have been arranged, and they can be carried out in an orderly manner. Even if the two granaries of the other party are burned at all costs, the most dangerous thing is to go deep behind the enemy alone and lead the Ukrainians away. Su Tai’s remarks.

It’s a life-and-death situation…

Shen Ci’s gaze was firmer than anyone in the tent, “It’s not dangerous, how did Wu Sutai come? Wu Sutai is not stupid, only when everything is under his control, Wu Sutai will take the bait! Everyone is very dangerous. The granary is guarded by heavy troops. Is it not dangerous for the other party to stand guard? In the ice and snow, the army runs out of food, and the road of food and horses is the only hope. Without food, the Lin Beicheng in front also has a chance to survive. The enemy will be like a wolf to prey on the frontal breakout. Isn’t it dangerous for those who face it? It’s all dangerous!! In this battle, everyone has a burden on their shoulders. Which link goes wrong? The garrison of the city will be at risk, the Linbei City behind it will be at risk, the people will also be homeless, the blood will flow into the river, and the entire Yanhan behind Linbei City, which of us is not dangerous! Not dangerous, or the border garrison !”

The crowd fell silent.

Shen Ci glanced at everyone in the main account, and continued, “I am the commander of Lin Bei’s garrison, and I am responsible for the entire battlefield! The key part of turning the tide of the battle should be done by me! Everyone, listen carefully! This is not a personnel matter, it is about the Linbei battlefield, it is about all the Linbei garrison, it is about all Linbei people, and the whole of Yanhan, you can’t go wrong, and you have to take the death that you deserve. Come on, you have to guard the death that you should guard, can you do it!”

“Yes!” Everyone shook hands.

Shen Ying’s eyes have been falling on Shen Ci, and he has not left since just now.

It was Shen Ying who really knew what Shen Ci looked like in the army in the past few years when he was stationed in Linbei for more than a month.

There has never been a day, like now, that I know why my grandfather and father are happy with Shen Ci…

He looks like a grandfather.

More like anyone in the Shen family!

He is also proud of him.

Shen Ying closed her eyes.

Shen Ci instructed, “According to this, the deployment and preparations required are very long. We don’t have much time, so hurry up and don’t let anything be lost!”

“Yes!”

After all the generals withdrew one by one, Shen Ci said to Liu Xiao, “Liu Xiao, send a message to Beijing to inform Your Majesty about Lin Bei’s operational deployment, and also, take my token to Jiazhou to mobilize the garrison to Lin Bei, Just in case.”

“Yes!” Liu Xiao also exited.

In the end, only Shen Ying was left in the tent.

“Big brother?” Shen Ci looked at him.

Shen Ying smiled, “It’s been a long time since we walked together. Are you going to set off tomorrow and take a walk with me?”

Shen Ci hesitated, “Okay.”

…

The two brothers did not ride horses, but paced side by side around the camp.

“Zi’an, this trip around Tanluo’s back is dangerous, Dad will worry about you.” Shen Ying expressed her concerns.

He was in the camp before, even if he didn’t know how to arrange troops, but the generals next to him responded, and all the news about Wusutai he heard these days, combined together, he could guess the danger. .

“So, don’t let Dad know.” Shen Ci responded.

Shen Ying looked at him, “Dad is in the army, how could Daddy not know? No matter how he would know.”

Shen Ci said warmly, “This matter must be kept secret from the army for the time being, and no one will disclose it. I also greeted Zhao Lunchi, he didn’t know it was my father, he was with his father, and he knew what to say. , what’s not to say. The army will divide the troops into several groups, as long as I don’t let my father go all the way with me.”

Shen Ying also sighed.

The two of them didn’t stop, Shen Ci continued, “I was thinking about my dad just now. Dad is old, but he refuses to leave the army. Now he will only be more suspicious. He can’t go sneak attack with me. In the rear, if the burning of the granary does not come down in the end, Han Guan and Guo Zixiao will also fight to the death with each other, and intercepting the grain and horse road will also suffer from the enemy. Chi and Dad will stay with Tongyuya.”

Shen Ying nodded.

In these matters, Shen Ci has the most say, and how he arranges it is the best for his father.

Shen Ying took a deep breath and suddenly said, “Zi’an, you are a real frontier official.”

Shen Ci looked at him.

Shen Ying smiled and said, “If grandfather and father were in the camp today, they would be proud of you if they could see it. Zi’an, eldest brother is also proud of you.”

Shen Ci chuckled, and just walked to the surrounding hills, and the two sat down side by side.

“Remember when you were a kid? You always make trouble.” Shen Ying looked at the endless snow-covered grasslands, mountains, and white fields in the distance.

Shen Ci nodded, “Remember, it’s my brother who helped me cover, without you, I don’t know how many beatings I would have suffered!”

Thinking of his childhood, Shen Ci couldn’t help laughing again.

Shen Ying’s eyes fell on the farthest, and she said softly, “Because I’m your brother…”

Shen Ci turned to look at him inexplicably, “Brother, it’s weird.”

The cloaked man, Shen Ying also smiled, “I feel it.”

Shen Ci was wearing a big cloak, and the two were together. In fact, it was like when they were young. Shen Ci said again, “I haven’t been with my eldest brother for a long time. Sitting together and talking, it’s like going back to when I was a child.”

Xu Shi remembered that when he was a child, the chatterbox was opened, and he said a lot of words one after another.

The memories of childhood are like a revolving lantern, one by one flashing in my mind.

Every frame in the memory is precious, and it also makes people forget for a short time that they are fighting at the moment. All they remember are the good times, as if they were all back to their childhood. Shen Ying helped him up, and if he couldn’t walk, Shen Ying would also carry him.

At that time, Shen Ying was just a small tree.

Shelter for him.

The two brothers talked a lot, and there were times when they laughed a lot, and the laughter was endless.

At the end, Shen Ying looked into the distance and sighed, “Zi’an, you have lived the way I want most…”

Shen Ci looked at him, “Brother, take good care of Dad for me.”

“Well.” Shen Ying also looked at him, “take care of yourself and be safe.”

“Yes.” Shen Ci smiled, “My life is tough, I can climb out of the pile of dead people again and again, and this time it’s the same.”

Shen Ying took him by the shoulders, “I believe it! Zi’an, eldest brother believes in you.”

“General!” Not far away, a guard came looking for him.

Only then did Shen Ci get up, “What’s wrong?”

Looking at Shen Ci’s back, Shen Ying’s eyes became deeper and darker.

***

“Yo, I’m back!” In the room, Shen Fengshi saw Zhao Lunchi coming back with a look of excitement, and asked along the way, “Is the latest battle deployed?”

He knew that he was going to discuss the deployment of the war today, but Zi’an would never tell him, so he inquired from Zhao Lunchi.

Zhao Lun said in a deep voice, “Yes.”

“Quick, let’s hear it.” Shen Fengshi was curious.

“This can’t be said!” Zhao Lunchi said carefully, “This is a secret war. If the general knows about it, hes…”

Zhao Lun wiped it from his neck with a knife in hand.

Shen Fengshi sneered, “If you don’t say it, don’t say it. What’s so strange, you won’t know everything when you get to the battlefield.”

Zhao Lun smiled, “Then you’ll know when you’re on the battlefield, old man, don’t embarrass me.”

Shen Fengshi got up bored and went to the bed.

“Hey, old man, don’t sleep in the daytime!” Zhao Lunchi stepped forward to stop him, Shen Fengshi was annoyed, “Recharge your batteries, look at your appearance, there will be a battle every two days.”

Zhao Lunchi looked at him in surprise, as he could guess.

Shen Fengshi looked like it was not hard to guess.

Zhao Lunchi continued, “Old man, don’t sleep, don’t sleep! It’s rare to have time, so continue talking about what you didn’t finish last night!”

“What?” Shen Fengshi forgot.

Zhao Lunchi sighed, “Before going to bed last night, old man, weren’t you telling me about the Battle of Qiu? What happened to the last battle?

“Yo, are you still thinking about it?” Shen Fengshi smiled.

Zhao Lunchi nodded, “Naturally. I wasn’t in the army earlier, and no one taught me to march and set up an army. Old man, I have followed you this month. I have learned a lot from you, how do you know everything? Have you ever led an army to fight before?”

Shen Fengshi was immediately alert and shook his head quickly, “No, no! Oh, when you’re as old as me, you’ve seen pigs run away before you eat pork.”

Zhao Lunchi: “…”

“Have you brought the pen and paper?” Shen Fengshi changed the subject.

“Bring it!” Zhao Lunchi took it out.

“Come on!” Shen Fengshi pulled out the stool, both of them sat down, Shen Fengshi began to draw the marching route map of the battle against Qiu Yi on paper, “See if you don’t see it, just fight like this, the left and right flanks are cut in, cut open. It’s a big piece, what do you think it’s used for?”

Zhao Lun hesitated, “Separate the enemy?”

“Yes!” Shen Fengshi patted him on the shoulder, “It’s just to separate the enemy, don’t you think this will break the game? If you drive straight in, the opponent’s arms will need to rely strongly on each other. Without mutual dependence, the situation is like a broken bamboo.”

Zhao Lunchi suddenly realized, “So it is.”

The two of them just sat like this at first, but then they became more and more serious, they spoke seriously, and they listened carefully. Later, the heads of the two people gathered together, and they both sat cross-legged.

Zhao Lunchi would also take the initiative to interrupt, “Master, why don’t you fight like this?”

Although most of them are wrong, there are one or two that are really like the brush of magic, and they are the essence.

Shen Fengshi was also very happy, “Bing Gui is very fast, you are leaving your **** to be beaten by others. You say that they are not beaten, but it is different when you walk here. Quick, he can’t chase you, so he can only chase you. You can beat him in the opposite direction, which way do you say you choose?”

“Oh!” Zhao Lun stunned, “Wonderful! Old man!”

“Hey hey hey!” Shen Fengshi was also happy, “Do you think it would be better to meet me earlier?”

“Yeah! Keep going.” Zhao Lunchi and the old man were excited.

Shen Ci came.

“General!” greeted the patrolling garrison.

Shen Ci nodded.

He wanted to see his father, but when he came outside the house, he heard laughter, talking, and applause in the house.

Shen Ci stopped and looked outside the window. He saw that Zhao Lunchi was with his father. The two were discussing the battle roadmap and laughing. They should be talking about the Battle of Rebuke Qiu. He was happy, Zhao Lunchi kept asking questions, and his father was talking to him patiently.

After leaving the army for many years, Dad’s last battle was the Battle of Rebuking Qiu.

Dad hasn’t been this happy in a long time.

Shen Ci also remembered that when he was with General Liu at the border, time flew by…

He originally wanted to see his father, but seeing that he was happy with Zhao Lunchi, he gave up.

***

When he turned back, he saw Yu Ya and Fan Yu in the same place.

“Fan Yu?”

He had known earlier that Qu Bianying and Fan Yu were in charge of escorting grain and grass to the north. That was the end of November, and now in the middle of the first month, the escorted grain and grass arrived.

“General Shen?” Fan Yu was also surprised. The two are old acquaintances. They met in Fuyang after the end of King Tan’s rebellion. Later, when Fan Yu returned to Beijing, he also met Shen Ci. After a long time, when Shen Ci was imprisoned in Dali Temple earlier because of the Shen family, Fan Yu was still in Hucheng and had not returned.

“Did the journey go smoothly?” Shen Ci asked.

Fan Yu handed over, “General Lao remember, the road is smooth.”

Shen Ci nodded.

Fan Yuben was handing over food and grass with Yu Ya. When he met Shen Cilai, he greeted him briefly, and then said to Yu Ya, “General Yu, wait a moment.”

Yu Ya should be fine.

Fan Yu then stepped forward again, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Ci, “General, Your Majesty has something, let me bring it to the general myself.”

Shen Ci took it, it was an envelope, a letter to him.

Shen Ci smiled, “Thank you.”

Fan Yu surrendered, then turned back to Yu Ya, and continued to hand over food and grass with Yu Ya.

Shen Ci opened the letter on one side.

The envelope is very thick, Shen Ci estimates that it has more than ten pages, I don’t know what she wrote and it’s so long.

When the letter was opened, Shen Ci was full of anticipation. In the middle of the first month, the news from the palace earlier reached the border a few days ago. At the first banquet, Chen Xian and Chen Yuan forced the palace to make things difficult, and in the end A Ling all solved it one after another. He also learned that when they separated, she told him that they all had things to do, and all she had to do was deal with Chen Xian and Chen Yuan.

Shen Ci also thought about whether A Ling told him in detail the thrilling experience of the first feast in the letter, but he also thought that the time was wrong.

Fan Yu left Beijing in November. At that time, the things that Chen Ling entrusted him with were the scene of the first banquet.

The moment Shen Ci opened it, he was slightly stunned. Soon, these more than ten pages of simple handwriting made his eyes wet.

without him.

It’s all “read”.

The first word “Nian” on each page is written by A Ling, and then they are all crooked, of different sizes, showing their teeth and claws, like the handwriting of a dog. Copy it myself.

It is my own name written by myself, and it is also a recitation of my thoughts.

All of them are the words written by Ah Nian one stroke at a time. They are the first memories, and they are also very precious. She put it away, and asked Fan Yu to bring it to him.

Shen Ci looked at it for a long time, and looked at the more than ten pages over and over again, and when he saw it, he could silently count the difference of each word.

It also seems that the appearance of A Nian holding a pen is in front of him.

It’s just the best gift, Shen Ci’s mouth has a smile like water.

Another year.

He misses her and misses Ah Nian…
