In the tent of the barracks of the Shence Army, a pre-war military meeting was about to be held. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Wang Yuan and Gao Xianzhi have not yet come to the big tent, Tan Ping, Zhao Qing and others, who are responsible for summoning the generals, have already summoned more than 20 generals, middle, and senior generals. While waiting for the arrival of the marshal and deputy marshal Gao, Tan Ping and Zhao Qing happily shared the dirty things they had done with Wang Yuan not long ago.

Acts such as shaving the hair of the Hui messengers into bald flowers and burning their genitals were not caused by Wang Yuan to do it, but by their own initiative. These guys knew Wang Yuan's intentions, didn't the handsome strip off the clothes of the Hui people just to humiliate them? The marshal was embarrassed to give more shameless orders to humiliate people, but Tan Ping and Zhao Qing didn't care, these dirty actions were used on Hui people, there was no psychological pressure.

Especially after witnessing the tragic evil deeds done by the Hui people against the people of the Tang Dynasty in Wuzhong County and Huaiyuan City, the generals hated the Hui people to the core. Such humiliation is still light, and if the commander allows them to do it, these Hui messengers are afraid that they will be gouged out and cut off their tongues, and will suffer extremely cruel retaliation.

The generals laughed endlessly, and they agreed with Tan Ping and Zhao Qing's behavior. Some people even think that the two of them are too polite to these Hui people, and they should start to be more dirty and humiliated.

"Commander Tan, why don't you get some sand and stuff it into their eyes? I heard that stuffing sand and dirt into it would block the place, telling these dozen guys not to for a few days. If the sand and soil are strong, you don't need a sword to make a gap, and you don't think you can make a normal appearance. One of the generals shouted.

The generals were in an uproar, first in shock, then in laughter and scolding.

Tan Ping arched his hand and said, "Senior General, I didn't expect you to have such a good move." If I knew this was the case, I should have asked you a few words beforehand, but it's a pity. Next time, do what you do. Even if you don't stuff the sand and get a branch to stick in as a tail, it must be fun. ”

The crowd burst into laughter again. Inspired by this, the crowd began to offer ideas and suggestions. Some said that they should be tied to the little trumpets of those guys with ropes and led around a few times in front of the enemy camp. Some said that they should be told to crawl back to the camp, and if they climbed slowly, they would whip their butts. Some said that they should be forced to suck each other in front of the enemy camp, and do a lot of things in broad daylight.

The atmosphere in the tent was warm, the words were unbearable, and every vicious and dirty proposal was exchanged for a burst of laughter and scolding.

Wang Yuan and Gao Xianzhi appeared side by side at the door of the big tent, and the noise of a pool of water ducks in the big tent suddenly stopped. Everyone shut up and sat down.

Wang Yuan asked in surprise, "Why are you talking so hot?" How about saying it out and calling me and Senior Vice Shuai Le Yile? ”

Everyone dared to say half a word, and they all looked left and right to say it. Wang Yuan didn't ask, and ordered people to sweep the ground and prepare wooden planks. Ordered the guards to go outside and pick up a few loads of sand and soil to come in. All the generals know very well what the commander is going to do. The marshal and the senior deputy marshal have returned from the mountain pack and the edge of the formation in the north, and they must have made a sand table drill, specified the specific strategy of the operation, and issued a military order.

Several guards came in with a few loads of dirt and stones and poured them on wooden plates. Wang Yuan rolled up his sleeves and did it himself, pinching the soil into a mountain and surrounding the stones into a array, and while discussing memories with Gao Xianzhi, he shaped the sand table topographic map of the entire area. Soon after, the sand table was completed, and the terrain of the entire area was intuitively presented to everyone.

Wang Yuan cleaned his hands, picked up a wooden pole, and beckoned everyone to surround him. Pointing at the sand table with a wooden pole, he said: "Everyone, this is the formation and terrain of the enemy and our army. This is the city of Fengzhou, these small green flags represent the soldiers and horses of the Hui people, ten green flags, one represents 10,000 Hui cavalry. The place where the six pebbles are distributed here is where our Divine Command Army is at the moment. The red flag represents the soldiers and horses of our Shence army, and one flag also represents 10,000 soldiers and horses. Now, this commander will discuss with you the details of the war, and if you have any questions, you can ask them, and we will discuss and solve them. ”

The generals nodded. This kind of sand table deduction form is actually not unfamiliar to the generals. The marshal has carried out this mode of deduction and operation many times, but in the past, the marshal had set a plan and demonstrated it to everyone, and everyone only had to do it. But this time, for the first time, the marshal allowed everyone to ask questions, which shows that the marshal attaches great importance to this operation, and it seems that the marshal is not completely sure in his heart.

Next, Wang Yuan began to introduce in detail how to use several earthen bags distributed in the shape of plum blossoms as barriers, install tiger squat cannons and Shenwei cannons on the earthen bags, and play the role of infantry to guard the mountain bags and protect the firing of Shenwei cannons and tiger squat cannons. How to use the distance between the dirt bags to compress the enemy's formation, so that the opponent's 100,000 cavalry was forced to divide into the battlefield. Where did the cavalry start to meet the enemy, how to use the terrain to block the charge of the Hui cavalry, how to engage the enemy during battle, how to advance and retreat, and how to give orders. The passage between the mountain buns that the cavalry was responsible for, how to deal with it after being breached, and many other matters were explained and explained in detail.

During this period, Gao Xianzhi continued to make statements to supplement details, and the generals of various armies also used their brains to put forward their own ideas and opinions. The atmosphere of the meeting was extremely warm.

In the warm atmosphere, Liu Jun suddenly raised an extremely sharp question, which made all the generals calm down at once, and even a little dumbfounded.

"Father-in-law, the child has a question. The father-in-law's arrangement was indeed exquisite, and the child thought that if the Hui people dared to attack, my divine army would win. However, the direction of the attack arranged by the righteous father was to meet the attack of the Hui people from the north or northeast and northwest. However, if the Hui people choose to flank and attack, bypass the south side of our army, and directly attack our main camp on the south side of Shanbao, what would it be? ”

As he spoke, Liu Jun squatted down, stretched out his hand and pulled out the green flag and moved to the Gobi wilderness south of Shanbao, forming an encirclement of a red flag. The generals suddenly realized that this was a very likely occurrence. The other side may not be able to charge head-on, and because their large battalion cannot penetrate into the battlefield on the inner side of the mountain pack, they choose to camp according to the terrain five or six miles wide between the two mountain packs in the south. If the Uighurs chose to attack the camp from the south in a roundabout way, they would have to be forced to face it in an all-out way. All the means of this arrangement will not be useful.

The big tent suddenly fell silent, and Wang Yuan and Gao Xianzhi's faces also calmed down. The generals suddenly felt a little sad for the marshal, and some thought Liu Jun was talkative. With such an arrangement in front of him, the handsome man should have thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know how much suffering he had endured. But when General Liu asked, it suddenly seemed that everything was in vain.

In the silence, Wang Yuan suddenly smiled. Looking back at Gao Xianzhi and said: "Brother, I'm right, no one will ask this question, I'm very relieved that someone finally raised such a question, and it's Liu Jun." ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Xian, your teacher has taught a good disciple." Liu Jun can ask this question, which shows that he thinks deeply enough. Before the big war, he had to consider all kinds of possibilities, and he could think about it thoroughly, which showed that he could be in charge alone. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and nodded: "Then ask my brother to clarify the doubts of the generals, I want to drink saliva, my mouth is dry, my throat and eyes are smoking." ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled and nodded, and said to the generals: "I'm afraid you haven't noticed this little red flag in the corner of the sand table." Look at its position again. ”

When the generals heard this, they hurriedly looked at the sand table, and then they found that at the northwest corner of the army camp, close to the edge of the sand table, there was indeed a small red flag planted alone. Everyone hadn't paid attention to this flag before, thinking that it was the same as a pile of flags used to set up a formation on the ground next to it, and it was a discarded thing. Besides, the position of the banner is far away from the main formation of the army and the battlefield designed, and in terms of proportion and distance, it should be more than ten miles west of Fengzhou City. This location is too far from the battlefield, so everyone doesn't count it as the location of a soldier or horse.

"The location here is nine miles west of Toyosu City." Gao Xianzhi pointed to the flag and said in a deep voice: "Reconnoiter learned that there is a narrow ravine there, which should be a flood discharge ditch formed by the ground flood washing away the sand and gravel after heavy rain in the Gobi Desert for a long time. There is no need to delve into how it was formed, but this ravine is two or three miles long and more than ten zhang wide, and there are as many as six or seven thousand soldiers hidden in it. Therefore, the commander and I decided to mobilize 6,000 cavalry to hide here as a surprise soldier. ”

The generals didn't know what they meant, what was the point of hiding a soldier and horse of 6,000 cavalry at such a distance from the battlefield? On the contrary, it weakened the frontal combat force, which was already less powerful than the opponent, and I don't know what the use of this move is.

Gao Xianzhi stroked his beautiful hair and said with a smile: "The question raised by Liu Jun just now is very good, once the Hui people use a bypass flank to attack the camp, and let us lose the defensive setup of the entire Plum Blossom Mountain Pack, then these six thousand heavy cavalry will be a strange soldier, which can play a role in turning the tide of the battle." ”

Liu Jun's mind spun quickly, frowning and thinking: "Does Deputy Marshal Gao mean that if the Hui people attack on the flank, this heavy cavalry can counterattack its flank from behind it?" Formation of local partition annihilation? ”

Gao Xianzhi smiled and said, "Liu Jun, you're thinking too much. Counterattacking its flanks, the idea sounds beautiful, but it doesn't work. Six thousand cavalry is not enough to divide the opponent, and don't forget that they are an army of 100,000. And have you ever thought about what the use of this soldier and horse from a distance of more than a dozen miles would be if they did not divide their troops, but the whole army detoured from the east side of the mountain to attack the camp? ”

Liu Jun frowned and said, "Yes, there are such doubts in the lowly position." If the Uighurs divided their troops to attack around on both sides, these 6,000 cavalry might be of some use. But if they did not divide their troops, but instead charged around the 100,000 troops in the east or west, the 6,000 cavalry would be useless. ”

Gao Xianzhi said with a smile: "So, these six thousand cavalry want to attack the enemy's belly and back and break up the formation, one is weak, and the other depends on the other party's face." It's not a guessing of points, so how can you rely on luck? Then, the opponent's offensive line may be unpredictable, and the position of the opponent's soldiers and horses is not under our control, but one thing remains the same, and that is the location of Toyosu Castle. Six thousand cavalry lay in ambush in a ravine nine miles west of Toyosu City. If the Hui people want to move, they will definitely attack the whole army. No matter what route they take to attack, one thing remains the same, that is, the castle of Toyosu will become an empty city. And the task of these 6,000 heavy horsemen is ......"

"Take Toyoshu?"

"Take the city?"

"Raid their lair?"

All the generals comprehended the significance of the existence of this 6,000 cavalry in an instant, and it was precisely when they wanted to use the Hui soldiers and horses to launch a surprise attack directly against Fengzhou City. It would have been fine if the Hui had attacked directly from the north. If they made a detour of seven or eight miles and intended to attack the main formation of the Shence Army from the south, then they would not have time to turn back and rescue. Six thousand cavalry would soon attack the city of Toyoshu.

"You're right, but you're not all right. If the other side attacks my belly, these 6,000 cavalry will indeed attack Toyoshu. Think about that situation, if Fengzhou were attacked, how would the Hui people react? Gao Xianzhi said.

"Of course, they can only choose to return the aid. Once Toyosu falls into our hands, they will become lost dogs. They are not good at attacking cities, and they have no food, grass, and water, so they will be trapped and die on the Gobi Desert. Song Jiangong laughed loudly.

Gao Xianzhi smiled and said: "Yes, the word lost dog is used well, they will definitely withdraw their troops to help." This had the effect of encircling Wei and saving Zhao. If you say that what you said is not entirely correct, it is because these 6,000 cavalry did not really want to take Fengzhou, in fact, they just dragged them back in vain. In fact, if Fengzhou is really taken, the effect will be counterproductive. Because in that case, they will be forced to attack the camp of our army desperately. Anyway, there is no way out, and they may take a desperate gamble. And it is unlikely that our army will retreat into the city in time. The cavalry may be able to retreat into the city quickly, but the infantry and the baggage, artillery, and forage will suffer. Therefore, it is not our goal to take the city, but to force them to attack only from the north, so as to achieve the effect of a decisive battle in favorable terrain. Moreover, during the big war, these 6,000 cavalry can also cruise on the flanks and attack on the side, disturbing their military formations, which will have a miraculous effect. ”

It was only at this time that the generals really understood the intention of ambushing the 6,000 cavalry. I thought that these 6,000 cavalry were going to take advantage of the situation to capture Fengzhou, but in the end, they even attacked Fengzhou with a false shot, and the fundamental purpose was that the other party did not dare to attack around the attack, but could only choose the entrance to the mountain not far from Fengzhou to the north to attack. The whole plan can be described as a heart-to-heart strategy, and it is interlocking and complementary. Whether it is the layout and planning of the battlefield, or the planning of some accidents that may occur, it is extremely delicate. It's like driving a fat pig with a leather whip, and the crackling whip ensures that the pig follows a predetermined route into the place where it is slaughtered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any other opinions to make, if you don't mention them at this moment, you won't have a chance later. You all know the military discipline of my divine army, and the military orders are like a mountain, and no one is allowed to violate them. Don't make excuses afterwards, that's absolutely not possible. Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice.

"No, no, the two marshals ordered. With such a detailed plan by the two marshals, what else do we have to worry about. Wherever the marshal and the senior deputy marshal point, we will go to the soup and fire. The generals said.

"Okay, in that case, you will be listed to listen to the order, and ask Marshal Wang to issue a military order." Gao Xianzhi arched his hand towards Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan put down the teacup in his hand, and sat down after circumambulating the handsome case. Gao Xianzhi also sat down on the big chair beside Wang Yuan. The generals were busy standing in columns on both sides of the sand table, retracting the smiles on their faces, and their expressions became solemn.

"The people will obey." Wang Yuan was sitting precariously when Sen Ran spoke.

……

At night, the scorching Great Gobi finally got rid of the scorching sun and became slightly cooler. But even so, the heat absorbed by the sand on the ground was emitted into the air, turning the entire camp into a steamer.

After dinner, the tent was stuffy and unbearably hot, and Wang Yuan was sweating and uncomfortable. Gongsun Lan and Cui Ruoyu were also sweating hot, Wang Yuan couldn't see it, so he invited the two girls out of the camp to go outside to breathe and blow the wind and enjoy the coolness.

The two daughters gladly agreed. It was very sinful to stay in the stuffy tent, and the camp was noisy and full of smoke and dust, and there was no quiet time for a moment. Slowly, if the weather is hot, even if you listen to the non-stop noise in your ears, your heart will be irritable. Gongsun Lan is okay, after all, she has traveled with the army many times, and she is also very adaptable, so it is not strange. But Cui Ruoyu really couldn't stand it, where did she experience such torture, plus she was already physically and mentally poor, and her mood was even more depressed.

The three of them slowly walked out of the Shence Army camp and walked into the wilderness to the south. Stepping out of the land of Rich, he finally climbed a gentle slope, leaving behind the noise of the camp. The three of them stood on the dirt slope, but they saw that the sky was full of stars, the sky was clear, and the night wind was blowing, although there was still a trace of heat wave, but it was comfortable for people to be physically and mentally, and their minds were clear.

"It's so comfortable, it's so cool this night. I'm afraid I'll want to sleep here tonight. It is also more comfortable to sleep here in the open air than to stay in the barracks. Cui Ruoyu was in a good mood, and regardless of the gravel on the ground, she sat on the ground, stretched her beautiful upper body and stretched her waist.

Wang Yuan also sat down on the side and said with a smile: "I want you to go back to Chengdu with General Li, but you refuse." Otherwise, you would have been eating chilled watermelon and drinking chilled wine in my mansion by now, and you would have to come with the army. Now you know it's not fun, the army is hell, and only those who know understand it. ”

Cui Ruoying was silent, and said in her heart: How do you understand my thoughts, what does it mean for me to go to Chengdu? You're not there, and I don't know any of your wives and concubines. I'm an outsider living in your house, so what's that?

Wang Yuan said to Gongsun Lan, who was standing on the side and was silent: "Cousin, sit down and rest for a while." We might be able to spend the night here tonight. The sky is the bed, and the earth is not bad. ”

"Okay, okay, Sister Gongsun, let's sleep here all night. The camp was too noisy and stuffy. ”

Gongsun Lan sat down quietly beside Wang Yuan and said softly: "Miss Cui, Erlang is the commander of the army, and the big war is coming, how can he do such an outrageous thing at this moment?" If he doesn't return overnight, won't it cause panic in the army? He's just a joke, but you take it seriously. In the future, if you stay with him for a long time, you will naturally know that some of his words are not true. ”

Cui Ruoyu was stunned and said, "So that's the case, I was wrong." I don't know any of that. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "It's not as serious as my cousin said, it's just that I, as the commander-in-chief, can I take the lead in disobeying military discipline?" After the war, we brought tents to the Gobi Desert to spend the night, I could hunt some game, and we roasted and ate, which was quite interesting. ”

Cui Ruoyu smiled and said: "Okay, when you win this battle, the three of us will come to sleep and it's decided." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and nodded. Gongsun Lan sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Erlang, how sure are you in this battle?" If it really doesn't work, I'm going to take a risk and assassinate the Great Khan of the Hui people, which may be beneficial to the war. ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "By all means, I will never let you go on an adventure again." It used to be a last resort, but now it must not be done. The guards around Guli Peiluo are extremely tight, and once exposed, it will be difficult to get out. If something happens to you, then I will hate you for the rest of my life. ”

Gongsun Lan's heart is sweet, Lang Jun cherishes himself to the extreme, which can be clearly detected from his daily actions and words. If I can meet him in my life, it can be regarded as an eye-opener.

"That's nothing. For the sake of big things, even if you take some risks, it's worth it. It's not as serious as you say. This battle is the key, and it can only be won and not defeated. I just wanted to help you. "I was happy in my heart, but Gongsun Lan's mouth was still light and light.

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "There is no room for discussion in this matter, you don't want to make me unsettled." I don't need to tell you the importance of this battle, I know it very well. But if you want to risk your life to guarantee victory in this battle, I will never agree. Even if you exchange the world, it is not as precious as your life. ”

Gongsun Lan was speechless, if it weren't for Cui Ruoyu's presence, she would have taken the initiative to give a fragrant kiss.

Cui Ruoyu on the side was silent when she heard this, Wang Yuan said such a thing in front of another woman in front of herself, she should have been full of jealousy. But for some reason, she didn't have the slightest hint of vinegar. During this time, she also saw that the relationship between Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan was extremely deep, which was not comparable to herself. Gongsun Lan and Wang Yuan's eyes looking at each other were full of affection, and the care between the two was also real mutual concern, which was real love.

Cui Ruoying knew that she would not be able to reach this point for the time being, but at this moment, Cui Ruoying was not sad and sad. Because she is a smart woman, she knows that the relationship between herself and Wang Yuan has just begun. If you want to win Wang Yuan's favor, you must not rely on jealousy, but love him sincerely. She believes that one day, she will also let Wang Yuan say such a sentence to herself.

Cui Ruoyu's silence made Wang Yuan feel that he was a little excessive. Even if you favor one over the other, you don't have to say it in front of her. But Wang Yuan really blurted out just now, and he didn't mean to ignore Cui Ruoyu. In the dark, Wang Yuan reached over and gently held Cui Ruoyu's soft palm to apologize. However, what Wang Yuan didn't expect was that Cui Ruoyu not only held his hand tightly, but also brought his hand to his lips and kissed it gently. When Wang Yuan turned his head to look, he saw Cui Ruoyu's stupid face.
