Chapter 343 discusses the military situation
Duan Jianqing didn't answer, but just told him the news that Su Youfang was coming, and asked him to pay attention, so that when the time comes, don't let these big devils cause trouble for Chixiao.
When Dong Zhenzi heard the news, his face was very ugly, he sighed, and then said: "If Su Gongzi really wants to come, then it will be difficult to do, Duan Daxia, these demons will not listen to us, when the time comes, alas, I will discuss it with my senior brothers and them first, so as not to cause any trouble when the time comes."
Duan Jianqing nodded, and Dong Zhenzi went to tell the others, everyone else felt embarrassed, and finally decided not to tell these demons, these demons are not afraid of the sky, the earth is not afraid, if they are Su Youfang's identity, they will not be afraid, and they will deliberately provoke trouble.
On the evening of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Su Youfang took a few of his personal guards and Chen Xuanshuang to the annex of Chixiao Mountain, and when they checked in, they happened to see two women walking in. Or do you want to make a vow? ”
"Come to the mountains to see, I don't know what the two eldest sisters (the dialect of the Southeast Province, an honorific title for women), are here to be called?"
"We, our sisters are here to ask for marriage, the little girl Yelu Qingbo, this is my sister Yelu Qingyun." The older man had silky eyes and looked at Su Youfang with affection. Yelu Qingyun also spoke: "Our two sisters once swore that we would be together for the rest of our lives, and the husband we are looking for must also be together."
When Yelu Qingyun said this, he stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Su Youfang's hand, Chen Xuanshuang on the side, and quickly made a move, and a sword scabbard hit Yelu Qingyun's hand, Yelu Qingyun was in pain, so he had to stretch his hand back.
Yelu Qingyun had tears in his eyes, and said to Su Youfang where his hand was beaten: "Young master, you maid is really rude, you beat the slave family for no reason."
Chen Xuanshuang looked at Sister Yelu and said to Sister Yelu: "This grandfather, it's not something you can provoke, so don't leave quickly."
Yelu Qingyun was about to say something, but Yelu Qingbo shook his head and pulled Yelu Qingyun away.
"Okay, little grandfather, don't look at it, everyone else is far away."
Chen Xuanshuang looked at Su Youfang and looked at the Yelu sisters walking away, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"No, no, I'm thinking, the appearance of these two sisters seems to be a little familiar, Yelu, Yelu, no, they shouldn't be called Yelu, they should be called Wanyan."
When Su Youfang said this, he said to Chen Xuanshuang: "These two women are natives, and they are also royal."
When Chen Xuanshuang heard this, he said to Su Youfang: "What royal family, the country of the native people, wasn't it long ago destroyed by your ancestors."
It turned out that the Tu people were the masters of the southeast mansion, they took Fengcheng as the capital, established the country, and later Chen Taizu broke through Fengcheng, killed a lot of native nobles, although the king fled, but the power was not as good as before, the Turen then split into various tribes, each of them went their own way, in the Wei Dynasty, basically withdrew from Fengcheng, in the Yu Dynasty, even Yuehua Mansion could not hold.
Su Youfang's ancestors once followed Chen Taizu to break through Fengcheng, and later gained a foothold in Fengcheng, over the years, the Su family wants to say that they understand the local people second, then no one dares to say first.
"I seem to have heard my father say that their sisters had traveled among the tribes of the natives, and had united many tribes to re-establish the king. If you really let the natives connect into a line, then for the dynasty, it is really not good, now there are still millions of natives, they are fierce, men are practicing martial arts, if they are really united, under the full force, they can gather 300,000 troops, and when the time comes, the chaos will start, and the river will really shake the left. ”
"If that's the case, why are these two women coming to Chixiao?"
"Chixiao Mountain is an important place, if they want to invade Fengcheng and recapture the old capital, they must ensure that Chixiao Mountain is under their control."
Saying that, Su Youfang picked up his sword, drew a map of the Southeast Mansion, and said to Chen Xuanshuang: "I don't understand the situation in Yuehua Mansion, but they entered the Southeast Mansion and wanted to attack Fengcheng, there were only two roads, one was to take this official road. The second is to take this mountain road. ”
Su Youfang said, drawing a cross everywhere on a road, and told Chen Xuanshuang that these are the cities that pass through on the road, and if you take this road, you will have to attack them one by one, so it will take a lot of time.
Su Youfang was confident and told Chen Xuanshuang that if he was defeated like this, the natives would no longer have an army before they could reach Fengcheng.
Su Youfang didn't expect that many years later, the natives would really take this official road and come over, and the cities along the way would look down on the wind without the slightest resistance.
"Walking this mountain road, although there are some detours, but you can avoid attacking fortifications. With the strength of the natives, they can only go like this, but if they take a road, they must pass through Chixiao Mountain, and if they don't take Chixiao Mountain, then the Taoist priests of Chixiao Mountain can attack their grain line by virtue of danger. ”
Chen Xuanshuang said to Su Youfang, "Huh? Why is their grain line here? ”
"This is less fortification, less losses, and also less places to store grain, this road, there are basically no big cities, they are all county seats, and they can't meet the needs of the big army at all, so they must start transporting grain from Yuehua Mansion, such a long grain road, they can only requisition Yu people, this recruited Yu people, there is no fighting spirit at all, Chixiao Dao people kill the soldiers who monitor the grain transportation, and Yu people will turn against us to help us."
Chen Xuanshuang smiled and said to Su Youfang: "Since this is the case, then what about the natives taking a steady step?"
"Steady and steady, they only have millions of people, how to fight steadily. If they only retreat in Yuehua Mansion, it is okay, but when they arrive in the Southeast Mansion, the imperial court will recruit troops to encircle and suppress, and the imperial court can fight steadily and advance step by step, and the natives cannot afford it. They can only fight with the capital and conquer Fengcheng, so that the world is terrified, and when the time comes, they will either negotiate peace with the imperial court, or continue to make chaos, and they will have the confidence. If they play steadily with the imperial court in the southeast mansion, then they will only be overwhelmed by the imperial army. ”
Chen Xuanshuang had a headache when she heard this, and said to Su Youfang: "If there is really a mess, how should you deal with it?"
"I, if I have strong soldiers and horses, then I will gather soldiers and defend the city. Those small county towns can't be defended, you can't do it, it's important to hold a few cities, if the natives want to divide and annihilate them, then don't want to, all of them are withdrawn to Fengcheng, and they are defended by Fengcheng. ”
"Don't you take the initiative?"
"No, no matter the box army, the forbidden army does not have large-scale cavalry, and the natives are good at riding and shooting, so why bother to attack their own shortcomings with their strengths. As I said, the enemy's grain route is too long, as long as the soldiers are left behind, ready for the opportunity, and destroy the grain route, they will naturally retreat because of lack of food. ”
Speaking of this, Su Youfang said again: "To deal with the natives, the best thing is to clear the wilderness and transport away the money and grain from the granaries of the major cities." Then divide the troops to the natives. As long as you can defeat the main force of the natives in one fell swoop under Fengcheng, then it will not be easy to recover the city. ”
Chen Xuanshuang always felt that something was wrong, and said to Su Youfang: "You want the natives to come to Fengcheng for a decisive battle, what if the natives don't attack Fengcheng and attack the southern capital?"
"They have no way to attack the southern capital, Xuanshuang, the official road from the southeast mansion to the southern capital must pass through Fengcheng. If they give up Fengcheng and don't fight, won't they expose their backs? The reason why this Fengcheng is known as the first important town in Hezuo is that he is at the pivot of Hezuo and controls Fengcheng, so that he can cross the river to the north in the north, conquer Xianhe Mansion in the west, and control the southeast in the south. The dynasty did not have a water division, if there was a water division, it could also attack the southern capital along the line of the Xuan River, water and land, or enter the sea from the Xuan River to control the East China Sea. ”
"It's so important, why didn't Fengcheng be the southern capital in the first place?"
'It's his strengths and he's his weaknesses. If the capital is Fengcheng, then the Yi'an Sailor can go down the Xuanhe River, the Dong'an Sailor goes south along the East China Sea Division, and the two sailors attack Fengcheng. This is the land of four wars, and if the imperial court establishes its capital here, it will be dangerous. As for the southern capital, it is much safer, and the Yi'an sailors will go east to capture Xiangcheng first. And the Dong'an sailor has to go south, and he has to pass through Fengcheng to enter the Xuanhe River. Huaihua Mansion wants to attack the southern capital, but also to capture several large cities, although there is no natural danger in the south, but there is a big city as a barrier around it, known as the eight passes, the dynasty set up the capital there, can be attacked, defend worry-free, naturally more than Fengcheng. ”
Chen Xuanshuang finally asked: "But, little grandfather, why does the army have to take the official road?"
"This, Xuanshuang, firstly, it is not easy to get lost on the official road, and secondly, it is easy to walk. The army can move like a few of us, whether there is a road or not. Take our Hezuo as an example, if the Hezuo is more than a fertile land, if you don't take the official road and open the path, if there is a silt in front of you, the soldiers can cross it, but the horses can't cross it, what will you do then? Can we only give up the horses? If you let the scouts find their way, it will take time. And the official road has an advantage, knowing where the danger is, you can reconnoiter in advance, if you go to open the road by yourself, it is basically to take one step at a time, and it is easy to fall into an ambush and don't know. ”
"I listen to those storytellers, there is a small way or something?"
"The trail can't let the big army pass, it's mostly for the small army to pass through, to achieve the role of a surprise soldier, and even if you take the trail, you have to have locals lead the way, or it's easy to get lost."
Chen Xuanshuang thought for a while, and said to Su Youfang: "Forget it, forget it, I have a headache when I talk about this, when you really want to lead the troops, you can go by yourself."
"Then you have to take care of everything at home." Su Youfang said this in passing, and after speaking, both of them blushed, Chen Xuanshuang said that he went to rest first, and Su Youfang did not dare to stay.
