Chapter 616 The Protectorate’s Office plans to defend against the enemy, and the smoke from Beiliang Road rose.
The old generals Yan Wenluan and Chen Yunchui breathed out a long sigh almost at the same time. This resentment that had been held to the court for nearly twenty years was finally able to speak up openly.
The Beiliang Protectorate in Huaiyang Pass was still unreasonable, which made Huaiyang Captain Huang Laifu very nervous. Although he couldn’t be said to be unable to sleep or eat, every time he went to the Protector to participate in military aircraft affairs, he felt that it was not the case. Some of the generals who had a close relationship liked to stab him with this rags. What did he say that Huang Laifu is now proud. He lives in a more grand place than Chu Duhu. It’s a pity that the prince didn’t get a general for him, otherwise he would be a real big shot. Huang Laifu didn’t even have the chance to talk back, so he could only accept his fate. Over time, he became the number one joke on the border of Liangzhou North Line. However, as the atmosphere of war on the border became increasingly strong, these harmless jokes quickly disappeared. Today, Huang Laifu went to the Protectorate’s Office on a routine basis. Recently, several commanders and commanders were in the mansion, working together to discuss the deployment of Beimang’s troops and main attack direction. Huang Laifu is a thick man who knows how to fight but is not good at talking and cannot get into words. But when he listens to the dispute between the old generals, he feels very comfortable. He feels that as long as they are in charge of the border command and dispatch, not to mention that the Beiliang border army is now strong and unscathed, even if the Hutou City at the forefront is accidentally lost and Huang Laifu is asked to snatch it back, it is absolutely nothing.
When Huang Laifu walked into the lobby full of large and small situation charts today, he noticed something strange. There was a huge pineapple wood case that was as long as six meters long in the center of the lobby, and there were many fresh faces on both sides of the case. Yan Wenluan, the commander of the infantry army, should have visited Huaiyang Pass for the first time, and the commander of the cavalry, Yuan Zuozong, also arrived, and the four new and old deputy commanders, Gu Dazu, Zhou Kang, He Zhonghu and Chen Yunchui, also gathered together for the first time. Qi Dangguo, one of the adopted sons of the general, was also standing on one side. Hu Kui, the governor of Youzhou, and Huangfu Ping, the general of Youzhou, stood side by side in a side position, and Wang Peifang, the governor of Liangzhou, who had just been promoted from the governor of Youzhou, was trembling with fear. This successful scholar in Beiliang stood alone in the most remote corner. Obviously, on such occasions, any other general in armor fart would be more useful than a civil servant who shouted loudly.
But the person who shocked Huang Laifu the most was the second princess Xu Weixiong!
She sat in a wheelchair, her hands intertwined, staring at the border situation chart on the table.
The Beiliang Guardian held the inkstone with one hand and the other hand. The ink in the inkstone was red ink. Chu Lushan stood beside Xu Weixiong, bent down and drew red lines on the map, and kept talking softly.
Huang Laifu tiptoed over, and more than 20 people stood on both sides of the case early. He could only find a place when he saw the opportunity. He just heard Chu Lushan whisper: “We had a crossbow before.”He inserted his hand into the hinterland of Gusai Prefecture and found that Liu Gui’s army had begun. Now it is confirmed that he was heading for Liuzhou. In addition to Liu Gui’s 30,000 elite troops, four military towns in the south, including Wazhu and Junziguan, also came out in full swing. Several old nobles from Longguan also took out their old foundation and 30,000 infantrymen, and the eight thousand Qiang cavalry personal troops in Gusai Prefecture held the throne and needed attention. Together, these 100,000 troops rushed to the current Liuzhou Prefecture City – Qingcang City. “
Chu Lushan used a red pen to point a little in a place north of Qingcang City on the map, “It is obvious that the 30,000 infantrymen of the Longguan nobles were used as the main force in the attack. ”
Then he gently stroked between Qingcang City and Linyao Jun Town, “If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the eight thousand Qiang cavalry waiting here to restrain the reinforcements on the western front of Liuzhou. If you can beat it, you will fight it, if you can’t beat it, you will run away. The Qiang cavalry has no other skills, and the ability to run away is first-class. I have experienced it more than ten years ago. “
Everyone in the house smiled. In the first Liyang and Beimang battles that year, everyone knew that Chu Lushan shone brightly in the smoke of gunpowder had two regrets: one was that Dong Zhuo, who was also a fat man, and the other was that he could not chase and kill the defeated Qiang cavalry.
Chu Lushan’s pen tip shifted, drawing a line between Liangzhou and Qingcang City in Liuzhou. “As the main force, Liu Gui’s army should be interspersed here…”
Xu Weixiong frowned, and after hearing this, he directly interrupted Chu Lushan’s words, “Does he just retreated and let Liu Gui penetrate into Liuzhou even if there are only 30,000 Dragon Elephant Army in Liuzhou, there is no need to be so passive. “
Gu Dazu, who was holding his hands, bent down and looked at the map, and slowly spoke, “If you say that the borders of Liangzhou and Youzhou can wait, but Liuzhou really does not have this need. As long as the 30,000 Dragon and Elephant Army finds the main force of Liu Gui’s army and defeats it in one fell swoop, the rest of the scattered soldiers will not be afraid of. Outside the country of war, Beiliang has this ability. “
He Zhong, deputy commander of the cavalry, spoke, “Don’t look at Liu Gui’s number of people, just such a small amount of troops is really not enough to be stuck in the gaps. Even if Dong Zhuo has a backup plan, according to their current deployment, it is too late to collect the body from the distance of the battle horse’s feet in two days. “
Chu Lushan stretched out his two fingers, pinched the scarlet pen tip, turned a deaf ear, staring at the fingers soaked ink, and said calmly: “The bait is too small to catch a big fish. “
Chu Lushan suddenly laughed out loud, and it seemed particularly loud in the silent house.
The Protector stretched out his thumb and index finger together, raised his hand and smiled, “Our Beiliang Iron Cavalry is too powerful, you have to give your opponent a little thought! ”
There is a side house in the Huaiyangguan Protectorate. It is rumored that there are sour scholars in the crowd, and it is hard to hear. They are all officials the size of sesame and mung beans. They are not as good as martial arts. However, the hosts often go in and out of side houses. In addition, few people visit this side house.
The imagined thing is different. The house is not deserted, but some old scholars gather to sigh. On the contrary, the place is very popular, and the appearance of many young faces makes the house look particularly energetic. There are scene charts hanging on the east and west walls in the house, including the border geography of the three states of Beiliang, as well as maps depicting the two states of Beimang Gusai and Longhao. The content of the situation charts on the two walls is exactly the same, but they are old, with old hanging on the east wall and new hanging on the west wall.
Two people sat opposite each other in the room, and one person stood by the table with his pen and waited quietly, responsible for recording some words. The desks were filled with Beimang local chronicles and secret files, and many of them were probably not even the Ministry of War and Ministry of Revenue of the Southern Dynasties. The reason why the old and the new are divided on the east and west walls is due to the suggestion put forward by a junior student in the house. Since the enemy’s commander Dong Zhuo has been holding his troops and has not shown any sign of being a big mess, Beiliang might as well first explore clues from the changes in the Beimang border army in the two border states of Liangmang in recent years, draw the cities and towns that have increased their troops in recent years, as well as the new post roads that have been opened up for a lot of money, and focus on finding the martial arts venues on the Beimang border over the years. The young man who gave this advice was Yu. He heard that he was a idle scholar from other places who went to Liang before, and had no way to seek refuge in the government office and could not find enough oil and water, so he entered here with his connections. There are six or seven miscellaneous officials who come into the house with the surname Yu, including the local generals who read military books for the first time and are also the same as those of young people in the surname Yu. They are all foreign scholars who are not allowed to pick up the rest of the country, and their hearts are higher than the sky and life is thinner than paper.
Most of the older seniors in this room are frustrated people who have not made a name for themselves in the officialdom. They have one thing in common, that is, their necks are harder and their knees are harder. They don’t know how to bow down. They like to drink to drown their sorrows most. When they drink high, they naturally can’t control their mouths and talk big. Then, one day they are taken to the border by the spy in the water room. They couldn’t even say hello to their family and disappeared out of thin air. At first they were frightened, thinking they were going to be chopped up by the moody Devil Chu and played with it. Later, they found out that they were helping to analyze the situation, so they gradually felt at ease. However, although he became a guest of the Protectorate’s Mansion and was helping the Protectorate to do things, he had no official status, no salary, and no salary. He was not attached to heaven or earth. It was really not a good person. Fortunately, these people have long worn out their ambitions in the officialdom and can hold on to the boring business in the house. In addition, Lord Chu Lushan’s reputation is too horrible, and everyone is diligent, for fear that one day Chu Lushan will feel that he is an official who is unwilling to work hard, and then his head will be chopped off with a click.
Outsiders who often enter and exit the house are all guys who walk out of the Fushui room, constantly bringing some strange things to everyone in the house. There are documents on the recent promotion of the Ministry of War of the Southern Dynasties, the Ministry of Revenue’s revisions on the degree of food and grass loss in various places, and even some papers of different textures, and the specific repair of which beacon tower and which post road is on.All the items were written. These spies from Fushuifang came and went in a hurry, and did not say a word when they entered the house. They put down the archives and left silently, without looking at each other. To the private statement of Lord Hong, who is temporarily in charge of the house, they are all cruel people who kill people without blinking and sleeping without closing their eyes. Older people, like Lord Hong, believe in doing more and talking less, and at most occasionally sighing. However, young people, including the young man named Yu Dezhi, are not afraid of tigers and dare to speak freely in the house. Li Yu, a young scholar who went to Liang, and his father, Zhao Ying, who was the magistrate of Lingzhou County, had a big fight two days ago. Whether the Beimang army was mainly attacking Liuzhou or feint attacking Liuzhou was a big quarrel, even Lord Chu was alarmed.
At dusk, Lord Hong, who had poor eyes, began to light an oil lamp even though he was sitting in the window with the best light. When he twisted his neck, he heard a stream of footsteps that he had been used to. He turned his head and looked at him. He was a spy with an extremely young and tender face. After entering the room, he handed a letter in his arms to Lord Wang Guifang, who was responsible for receiving the items. Lord Hong is no longer so afraid of these people in the shadows that once made all the officials in Beiliang feel creepy. It’s not that Lord Hong is so brave, but that he is doing something for Lord Hong, after all, it’s like putting a golden life-saving talisman on his forehead. What’s there to be afraid of, but it’s absolutely impossible to say that Lord Hong has a good impression of these people. Not only him, but most people in the house didn’t want to have half a copper coin with Fushui Room.
Lord Hong accidentally discovered that his old friend Wang Guifang and the young spy walked out, showing a look of disgust and bad luck that was carefully concealed. He pinched the thing with his fingers and quickly placed it on the desk of the young man’s Yu Dezhi.
