Chapter 244

Yu Yuangao, the king of Heyang, and Su Leyi, the military adviser, frowned when they heard Gu Jieyun say so. Although Gu Jieyun's doing so is the safest way to let the foreign cabinet know that they can't break the deadlock in a short time and make strategic adjustments, the purpose of Daqian's launching this war is not just to annex Tianxing and Nanli. There are also opportunities for the rise of the humble family, including whether Gu Qingcheng can win the title of commander-in-chief by virtue of military achievements, and whether Princess Yu Tianxiang can take over the power of Fengxiang army after the war.

That's why it's been several months since the war started. The four armies on the north line, except for the two armies of gale and Huxiao, have captured Nanli Jiangbei County at the beginning and forced down the leiying army. On the contrary, the Fengxiang army, which has made landfall in Nanhai County by sea, has made great strides. First, it has swept seven counties in Guangji, Henan Province, and then it has captured Xihe county, Now it's surrounded by Heyan county.

It's not that the four legions on the north line are really blocked by Huangyan River and Ning'an River, nor that they are really unable to conquer the long river natural danger. Just like the badminton army and the benlei army stationed on the North Bank of Huangyan River, we should know that a month ago, almost all the two legions were on the North Bank of Huangyan river. Even if 150000 benlei troops are transferred back to zhennanguan, there are still 300000 troops, not counting the Changqing canal water army led by Zhong Lixian.

With Wei Jiu's and Shen Zhang's ability of unifying the army, even if they didn't have any intrigue, they only used the right way to enter the army. As long as they found a place where the current was gentle, and took Zhong Lixian's 25000 water troops as the two wings to protect them, they would cross the river by force. Yan Tuohai, the Duke of Tianxing Wucheng, would not be able to stop the two armies.

But until now, Wei Jiu and Shen Zhang have not done so. It's not that they don't want to do so, but that their request to go to war has been forced down by the emperor's imperial edict and the writing of the outer court. In addition, Huairen is in the north of Huangyan River, so everything must be decided by him. This also leads to the temporary deprivation of the right of discretion of Wei Jiu and Shen Zhang, Therefore, the situation of Huangyanjiang confrontation has continued to this day. And all these arrangements are for the South Fengxiang army's results.

No matter Gu Jieyun, Su Leyi or Wang yuyuangao of Heyang, they all know very well that the reason why waige or Lu que made such arrangement is that this battle is the beginning of the overlapping of rights between the new and old generations of Da Qian, and the most important part of the layout of Da Qian Dynasty Hall in the future.

Think of Yu Tianxiang, Gu Qingcheng, ye Zhiqiu, Nie Pingjing, Meng Cang and Li Chang who are now surrounded by the river and Yan city. Then look at Gu Qianxue, Yun Xiansi and Su duo who have already got up and come to the south, as well as mu guorang, Shi Wenxian and Yan Zheng who have just set out from the capital. The most outstanding young people of the poor family, xungui and the aristocratic family have been sent to southern Xinjiang one after another in the name of Lu kuwaige, Today, this war is not just a war. There are too many undercurrents and too many layouts behind it.

If Gu Jieyun really reported the situation here to waige, then emperor Qian Yu Yuanxu, Duke Wei Lu Chun and Lu que, who had the power to mobilize the major legions in southern Xinjiang, would certainly change the long established strategy, and even the overall strategy of launching the main attack from the South with Fengxiang army would be changed. After all, all the purposes under the table could not be publicized, All of them should be based on the victory of Da Qian. In this war, Daqian has sent out more than one million troops, and the people of all the counties in the country are looking forward to the results of the war in southern Xinjiang, which must not be lost.

Once the overall situation is changed and the active direction changes from the south line to the north line, many problems that were suppressed will appear. For example, the attitude of the officers and men of the Yulin army and the benlei army has been suppressed for such a long time. If the Fengxiang army wins the battle, they may not say anything. But if the Fengxiang army's attack is blocked and the original strategy can not be spread out, and instead the Yulin army and the benlei army are used again, what will the officers and men of the two armies think of the whole Fengxiang army, And how to treat Lu que, who made the war strategy, and the emperor and the whole outer court standing behind Lu que.

Seeing Su Leyi and Yu Yuangao's expressions, Gu Jieyun naturally knows what they are thinking. He sighs and says, "Lord, Leyi, I also know that there is something wrong with Chuanshu emperor at this time, but we can't afford to gamble. Once Qiu Xu really abandons the river, Yan city's safety is ignored, only here with us dead shoulder. In just one and a half months, Lu Kuo's victory, which he had accumulated with his whole strategy since the beginning of the war, would collapse overnight because of the depletion of food and grass. At that time, not only can the strategic goal of capturing Tianxing before the new year's festival not be achieved, but also Princess Tianxiang, Gu Qingcheng, Nie Pingjing and ye Zhiqiu, who are now on the North Bank of Guangji River, will be in danger of death. "

"Gu Shuai, no, it's about you and Su Junshi. Once the letter is sent out, everything can't be changed." Looking at Gu Jieyun, Yu Yuangao, the king of Heyang, said that he knew that this war might be the last time Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi personally organized the army. At the last moment, these two men who had made great contributions to Da Qian had to end in such a way that he could not help but bear.

And Yu Yuangao is very clear that all this is because his Jing navy can not safely send Fengxiang main force to the north bank, which leads to the delay in time. But the world doesn't care about this. In the post-war inventory, you can only see that Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi, the two veteran generals in the army, failed to bring Fengxiang's main force to the north bank according to the set time, which led to the collapse of the once infallible strategic situation. However, as a royal nobleman and Prince, how could he let the two women bear such mistakes for him.

Thinking of this, Yu Yuangao, the king of Heyang, gritted his teeth and said, "it's not the two who are responsible for the stagnation of the main force of Fengxiang army, but the king. This letter is written by my king. I want to ask my brother to send the whole army of Hanhai to the south to help us cross Guangji estuary. In this way, with the cooperation of Han Navy, we can let one army block the three seaports where Tianxing Navy calls, and then another army will escort you northward from the sea road. At this time, Han Navy is at the junction of Daqian and Tianxing, and there is still time. "

"Lord?" Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi both look at Yu Yuangao, the king of Heyang, in shock. As the only two navies in the twelve main armies of Da Qian, Jing Navy and Han navy have been in constant dispute for the name of the first navy of Da Qian. After he became commander-in-chief of Jing Navy, because he was his Majesty's brother and Prince of the royal family, The Jing Navy had the potential to overwhelm the Han Navy, which made the two armies even more discordant. At the beginning, if it was not for the emperor's imperial edict and the imperial edict, the Han navy would not have lent the Jiaolong warship to the Jing navy to transport the whole army of Fengxiang to the South.

After the war, waige also intended to send the Jing navy to the Tianxing sea area. However, considering the relationship between the two armies and the attitude of Heyang king, he only transferred the Han navy to the southernmost part of Daqian sea area to guard against the Tianxing Navy's northward attack on the one hand, and to transport some food, grass and supplies for several armies in southern Xinjiang on the other hand. Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi did not expect that Yu Yuangao, the king of Heyang, would take the initiative to ask the imperial capital to send Hanhai's whole army to the south for assistance, which seemed almost impossible to them.

"The Lord has thought about it?" Gu Jieyun looks at Yu Yuangao with some emotion and asks, this is the best solution in her heart, but because she knows the contradiction between Jinghai and Hanhai, she has never put forward it.

"Gu Shuai, Soviet division, you two can put aside your great fame and military reputation for the sake of Daqian. As the prince of Daqian, what can I do for you. The conflict between Jinghai and Hanhai has existed for a long time, but it is nothing more than a battle of morale. How can Wang ignore the overall situation of Southern Xinjiang for the sake of morale and face? "

Speaking of this, Yu Yuangao shook his head with a smile on his face. "The world may not understand why the war situation has developed, but how can Tianxiang, Qingcheng, ye Zhiqiu, Nie Pingjing and others who are in the situation, as well as Lu que, who is in charge of the imperial capital to plan the overall situation, not understand it. These people include Wang's niece, Wang's nephew, and Wang's younger generation. How can Wang let these younger generation see the joke. I don't want to give these young people the impression that they are selfish, selfish, narrow-minded and superficial

"If a month ago, or even half a month ago, the Lord asked to send the navy to the south for support, his majesty and the cabinet would approve and even be happy to see it. But this is not the case now. Even if the prince sent a letter to waige at this time, I'm afraid the imperial capital may not send the Han Navy south. " Su Leyi shook her head and said.

"Why?" Yu Yuangao and Gu Jieyun are all puzzled.

"Wang Ye, Jie Yun, do you remember the military order of waige and the Huangyanjiang briefing that came a few days ago?" Su Leyi some dignified said.

Su Leyi became the commander of Fengxiang army 20 years ago. She was a direct participant in the war of Northern Xinjiang and the battle of destroying Qingyang. Although she was not as famous as Bailijia and zhugeju, it did not mean that her ability was worse than these people. It was only because the main attack of that year was the Tianhuo army led by Lu Chun, and the Fengxiang army was not only in the battle of benglang yuan, It's more about cooperating with the operation of the sky fire army.

With her mind, she can naturally see some clues from the two things that waige suddenly accelerated the war process and 150000 people of the thunder army returned to guard against zhennanguan. Although she does not know what happened, she can be sure that waige must have found some bad signs, which is the only way to prepare in advance.

At this time, the six armies of Fengxiang, Yulin, benlei, Gaofeng, Huxiao and Jinghai had gathered in the southern Xinjiang war. The three armies of Tianhuo, Panshi and longyi had to guard against the grassland of Northern Xinjiang, and the Shanyin army had to guard against the sand sea at mingquanguan. Only the Changqing Army and the Han Navy could be mobilized in the 12 main armies of Daqian, How can we dispatch such a mobile force as the Han navy to the south again?

Yu Yuangao and Gu Jieyun, at Su Leyi's prompt, also instantly thought of this, but they both frowned. Because if Qiu Xu doesn't move, and they don't have foreign aid, they won't be able to break the current deadlock in a short time.

"Soviet division, you are the same sister as the emperor's elder sister, and you are the wise person she relies on. I don't know if there is any way to break the deadlock in the present situation." Looking at Su Leyi, Yu Yuangao asks expectantly that during the northern Xinjiang war, he was still studying in Fengming academy, but he knows all about the situation of the northern Xinjiang war. He knows that this woman is definitely not an easy person. Although Fengxiang army's achievements were not as dazzling as Tianhuo army, Fengxiang Army has never been defeated, No matter it is a large-scale battle or a local encounter, we can see the ability of this Fengxiang military commander.

"In fact, there are more than one, but there is a lot of uncertainty." Su Leyi thought about it and said with some hesitation. Among the three men who were in charge of Fengxiang army at that time, each had his own strong points and clear division of labor. Su Leyi, the army commander, made a plan. Yu Chuqing, the eldest princess, made a decision, and finally Gu Jieyun, the deputy commander, was in charge of the execution. Now Yu Chuqing, the eldest princess, is in the capital. Although Su Leyi had some ideas in her mind, she couldn't make up her mind for a moment.

"The Soviet Division will tell us what to do." Yu Yuangao's eyes brighten when he hears the words, and he immediately asks.

Su Leyi pointed out a finger and said, "the first way is to attack by force. The main reason why we are stopped here is that the Tianxing Navy, which was carefully built by Yan Wensheng, the king of Tianxing, was built by Qiu Xu. Since they hid in the harbor, we would attack the three harbors, But in this way, I'm afraid the king's Jing Navy will lose a lot. "

"It's not going to work." Yu Yuangao shook his head and said, "those three harbors were originally military and commercial harbors. They were all built with huge stones. I once sent boats to close and investigate. There were large bed crossbows and even a large number of fireballs in the middle of the harbor. I once estimated that if a strong attack could win in the end, the loss of the Jing navy would be at least 50%, It's a bad thing, and there is even the risk of total annihilation. You should know that although the star Navy is hiding in the harbor now, their strength is not weak, otherwise our king would not have wanted to fight a naval battle with them all the time. "

"Yue Yi, there must be two. What's the second way?" Gu Jieyun asked.

"The second way is to cover up the situation and force the troops to cross." Su Leyi pointed out two fingers and said, "before, Princess Tianxiang Ye Zhiqiu crossed the river by taking advantage of the fog in the river. This method has been used once and can't be used any more, but it doesn't mean that we can't change it a little. Now we have 100000 troops. We send out ten battalions to cross the river in different sections on the same day. Although Qiu Xu's riverbank guard tower is exquisite, it can only be used for warning, The number of generals could not be effectively transmitted. In this way, Qiu Xu would send his troops to and fro for help, and our remaining 70000 main forces could choose a relaxed river section to cross the river. "

Gu Jieyun frowned at the news. This method can't be said to be no good, but it can't be used as a last resort, because it's equivalent to using 30000 military forces as bait. Gu Jieyun has no idea how many people can survive at most. Although the war is about to kill people, Gu Jieyun doesn't want to let his soldiers as bait, or even as abandoned children. She had never done such a thing in her life, and naturally did not want to make such a decision when she led the army for the last time.

"Yue Yi, it's not the time to use this method. Is there any other way?" Gu Jieyun sighed and asked again.

"The third way is to fall on Qingcheng." Su Leyi knew Gu Jieyun would be like this, but she didn't care. She said.

"The city?" Gu Jieyun took a look at Su Leyi and said, "Qingcheng is leading the army and Princess Tianxiang to encircle Heyan city. There are less than 20000 troops in hand, and there are 10000 troops led by zhaining. What can she do?"

"Jieyun, did you forget the battle of Danshui and hexingyuan fought by Lu que last year?" Su Leyi flashed a trace of essence in her eyes and said.

"Soviet division, you mean wolves?" Yu Yuangao, the king of Heyang, lowered his head and thought for a while, but his eyes brightened.

"White bottom?" Gu Jieyun smell speech is also a Leng, constantly thinking about the feasibility in the heart.

Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng didn't create the idea of controlling animals as an army, but it was the first time in the history of the whole Aoki war that a wolf king, a spirit beast, was able to pull up a wolf pack with a scale of more than 10000 to participate in the Terran war. Gu Jieyun thinks that this wolf pack once broke the Sanshan fortress outside Ning'an county city overnight, and won the Xihe county city in less than two hours. If such a wolf pack suddenly attacked Qiu Xu's army at night, it would certainly cause great chaos and win time for Fengxiang's main force to cross the river.

Seeing their expressions, Su Leyi nodded with a smile and said, "I think so. Let Qingcheng and Princess Tianxiang join forces and let go of the west side of Heyan, while zhaining heads West to clean up the several counties they didn't capture when they marched from Xihe to Heyan. Let these counties and Xihe join together and then garrison on the spot. In this way, even if the battlefield of Heyan changes, they can choose to go south or west. "

"What about Qing Cheng?" Gu Jieyun asked.

Su Leyi took out the map from his sleeve, spread it on the ground, pointed to the map and said, "Qingcheng led 10000 Fengxiang clouds to ride back to Linhe water village, and went down the river by boat, while the wolves moved eastward along the East-West Hengke mountain range, and finally met with Qingcheng at the junction of mountains and waters in Guangyang county. This place is just behind Qiu Xu's army, and because of the mountains and waters here, Qiu Xu didn't deploy too many troops to defend here. "

"Good idea." Yu Yuangao said excitedly that "although Qiu Xu built fortifications, he had no city to rely on. We can use the strategy of tired soldiers before, and then Fengxiang yunqi and more than ten thousand wolves led by Qingcheng can attack when Qiu Xu's army is most tired."
