Chapter 304

"Father, then we will take care of the Lu family and the Ding family in Weiguo ~" Lu que looked left and right, and said.

After returning to Daqian from xiyuanze, Lu que was appointed commander-in-chief. Then came the southern Xinjiang war. He was in charge of the war. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to listen to the courses of Fengming Academy. He didn't have time to think about these things. When I think about it carefully, Lu kuocai finds that the most powerful force of today's Da Qian in the military is their Lu family and Gu Qingcheng's Dingguo Gu family.

Take the Wei government as an example. Although there are only three people in the Lu family, Lu Chun's father is one of Daqian's three armed forces, Yu Chuqing's mother is the princess who is the assistant governor, and Feng Xiang's military commander has not been relieved. At this time, he controlled nearly 1.5 million troops of the seven legions. After leading the Changqing army to the south, the military and political power of the southern Xinjiang was almost concentrated in his hands.

Gu Huaiyi is the commander of Zhuo garrison, Gu Jieyun is the commander of Fengxiang garrison, and he is the one who really controls the military power of Fengxiang garrison. Gu Qingcheng was now the deputy commander of Fengxiang army led by Er Pintong. He had been leading Fengxiang army to fight everywhere. Since the resumption of the war in southern Xinjiang, it can be said that Gu Qingcheng was the first person to make military contributions.

In addition, the Lu family of Wei Kingdom and the Gu family of Ding kingdom had excellent personal relations, and Gu Qingcheng was his wife. Since his father returned to Daqian, the emperor's uncle could transfer Bai Yi, Marquis of Wu'an, to the north to balance his father's influence in the military. In the future, if the emperor wanted to maintain the situation of mutual checks and balances in the imperial court when he won the victory, He and Gu Qingcheng, as well as the Weiguo Lu family and Dingguo Gu family behind them, are bound to be restricted by the same means.

Lu Chun naturally understood what his son wanted to say. He shook his head and said, "missing son, you are different from being a father. In those days, the three heroes of the poor family were all promoted by the former Emperor at the bottom. They were the assistant ministers of the imperial government left by the former Emperor to his majesty. Now his majesty has been in charge for 20 years. We are the ministers of the pillars for his majesty, but we are not a kind of bondage."

At this point, Lu Chun sighed and went on to say, "Ji Zhiheng saw through this before he resigned from Daqian. Because I saw through this, I kept writing the book of war behind closed doors after returning to Daqian. If it wasn't for last year's Yuexi rebellion and this year's southern Xinjiang war, my father would never have taken over the power of reorganizing the Changqing army and the position of its prime minister. "

"Father ~" Lu que just wanted to say something, but he saw his father Lu Chun wave his hand to him, and then put his hand on his shoulder.

Lu Chun put his hand on Lu Que's shoulder and patted it twice, as if to convey a kind of power. "Que'er, your majesty simply set you up. His expectation and trust in you are far higher than those of the ministers in the court. Besides, you are quiet and weak in nature. Your majesty tried his best to keep you in Daqian before it was too late. How could he be wary of what happened to you, It will never appear in you. "

"What about the prince?" Lu que asked again. Since his father was promoted by the late emperor, and his reputation is too high, his majesty needs to check and balance. Once this battle is successful, after the crown prince Yu Minghao ascends the throne, he will not be the one who has achieved great success. By then, will Yu Minghao be equally wary of himself?

"Queer, your majesty is ready to abdicate now. This will happen in one or two years, but your highness is still young. When the new emperor comes to power, you may have reached the state of great calamity. You are not a man who loves to be in power. Why should you stay in Daqian then?"

Lu Chun looked at his son's face and patted Lu que on the shoulder. He continued, "in life, nine times out of ten things are not satisfactory. We just need to be worthy of our hearts. I'm different from your mother. As a father, I hope you can live according to your own wishes instead of being tied up by family and country affairs. As a father, you have the power to fight in Northern Xinjiang and destroy Qingyang. Once you succeed in the first World War, you also have the power to destroy the two countries and resist the tide of animals. For daqiantianxia and Yu's royal family, you and my father don't owe anything. When you want to leave according to your own wishes, you can leave. As for Wei's government, let it be like Yuguo's government, Pingguo's government and Ningguo's government, Stay quiet in Qianyuan city. "

Lu Chun's words are sincere. With his current cultivation, the struggle in the imperial court has long been forgotten by him. He really hopes that his son will not be like him, because it's too tired for a minister to carry the whole country.

In addition, Lu Chun calculated last year that after Lu que, there was no one in the Wei government to inherit the title. That is to say, the way of heaven had been decided long ago, and his son Lu que was no longer in the world before he inherited the title of Wei. In this case, how could he force him to do so. Although he won the title of Duke of Wei with great achievements, Lu Chun never thought that his descendants would live in the shadow of their ancestors. If their Lu family men want to have their own pride and character, how can they survive in the shadow of their ancestors.

Lu Que's heart trembled when he heard his father's words. He naturally knew what his father said about yuguogong, pingguogong and ningguogong. Yuguogong was the title of Ren wuhui, one of the founders of the country. Pingguogong was the title of Baili Chengping, a famous commander of Emperor Wu's Dynasty. Ningguogong was the title of Xiangbu Shenglian of Emperor Wen's Dynasty, However, these three people did not leave any heirs to inherit the title of nobility in Daqian, and the three mansions remained vacant in the imperial capital. Except that the inner court Secretary occasionally sent people to clean up and repair them, no one went there.

His father said this, so that he did not have to care about the inheritance of Wei government. After him, Wei government, like the other three governments, had no owner and was idle, as long as he could live without regret. You should know that the position of Duke Wei is the evidence of his father Lu Chun's half life achievements. This government represents his father's glory and glory. At this time, Lu que really felt his deep love for his father, who was usually very strict with his studies and didn't speak a lot.

"Father, I understand." Lu took a deep breath, calmed his mind and nodded heavily. He is an introverted person, even in the face of his parents, he seldom expresses his mind.

"Well, you don't have to worry about Northern Xinjiang. As a father, you will pay attention to it. Although Bai Yi is proud, he is not unreasonable. For today's Daqian, southern Xinjiang is the top priority. You have a heavy burden, but as a father, I believe you will succeed in the first World War and return triumphantly. " At this point, Lu Chun looked to the south, as if he wanted to see the details of the battlefield in southern Xinjiang through the mountains and rivers, and the xiyuanze covered by the heaven and earth. After a long time, Lu Chuncai said, "now the battle of Heyan should have begun."

"In terms of time, it should have started." Lu que also looked to the South and clenched his fist involuntarily in his hands. The battle of Heyan is related to his whole layout. As long as Heyan city is conquered, Tianxing will have the last place to defend in Zhongxing City, the capital of kings. Only then can he completely control the rhythm of the war in his own hands, so that when his layout of beast tide is completed, he can launch the battle of Tianxing capital.

At the same time, on the wall of the capital of King Tianxing, Yan Tuohai, the Duke of Wucheng, frowned and looked at every thousand cavalry outside the city, who were running around the city beyond the range of bows and arrows. Since the arrival of the badminton army and the thunder army, there has been no movement except sending a few light cavalry around the city every day, neither attacking nor retreating, Yan Tuohai really can't think of the big Qianjun on the other side of Huairen's mind.

If Daqian wants to encircle but not attack, with the material reserves in the Star City, maybe Daqian will not wait until the day when they have no choice but to go out and surrender. Moreover, Yan Tuohai has already felt that the morale in the city, which was low due to the siege of the army, has also slightly improved after these days. He really can't figure out why the army outside the city should do this.

"Qiu Shuai, what do you think?" Yan Tuohai glanced at Qiu Xu, who was standing beside him with a dignified face, and asked.

"The book of war says that we should encircle the city in ten and attack it in five. Now the forces outside the city are almost the same as ours. Besides, we still occupy the city. Gu Huairen is not sure that he can conquer the star city at one stroke. He uses his army to divide the North and the south, and then uses light cavalry to make us dare not go out of the city. It's not hard to understand, but ~" speaking of this, Qiu Xu seems to think of something, and his eyes show a little worry.

"Just what?" Yan Tuohai asked.

"Yan Shuai, if you were Gu Huairen, what would you do?" Qiu Xu did not directly answer Yan Tuohai's words, but asked.

"Either wait for the follow-up reinforcements to come to join us, or send troops to the south to attack Heyan city first and isolate the star cities completely." Yan Tuohai, who has been in the army for a long time, gave the answer after a little thought. However, after he blurted out these words, he opened his mouth wide and suddenly looked at Qiu Xu and asked, "Qiu Shuai, do you mean Gu Huairen has divided his troops, and the light cavalry he sends out every day is only for soldiers, but we can't find the reality in his camp?"

"Now it seems that there is only one answer, but we still need to send scouts to confirm it." Qiu Xu nodded, and his face was more worried. He knew that once Heyan city was broken, it was not just that Wangdu would become a lonely city, but there would be a chain reaction. You should know that the legitimate sons of Xie and Chai were in Heyan city at this time, and once they were captured by Daqian, they would threaten him, He is not sure whether Xie Chai and his family can still be loyal to Tianxing Wang as they are now.

"In this case, we will send detective riders to see the actual situation of Daqian barracks after the early morning of this evening. Then I will send candlelight shadow elite to work with them." Yan Tuohai's eyes narrowed slightly. Among the three army commanders of Tianxing, Qiu lie, who had died, was good at defending, but he was good at attacking. Half a year ago, during the civil war in Wangdu, he led the xiyuanze Legion to conquer the outer cities of the stars garrisoned by the Wangdu Legion in a few days, which shows his military style.

But then he sat down along the Huangyan River, and now he was trapped in the capital, which really made him feel aggrieved. If it wasn't for the lack of cavalry in the city, he would rather go out of the city to fight Gu Huairen to the death than guard in the capital with fear. If the army really divides its troops to the south, it may give them an opportunity to defend and attack.

Qiu Xu nodded, looked at the galloping cavalry outside the city and said, "Marshal Yan, if I guess correctly, the army outside the city has been divided."

"Why do you say that?" Yan Tuohai hears the words and looks at Qiu Xu.

Qiu Xu looked out of the city, walked back and forth two steps, and said, "if I remember correctly, it seems that we haven't seen the shadow of the Yulin scouting camp for five or six days. With the foot distance of the Yulin army, we may have reached Heyan city now."

"Yulin scouting camp, isn't this cavalry outside the city the Yulin scouting camp?" Yan Tuohai pointed to the cavalry outside the city riding a thread angle horse galloping, a puzzled face asked.

You should know that Daqian elite cavalry is famous all over the world. Every cavalry of the Legion has its own distinctive characteristics. For example, the thunder galloping heavy cavalry of the thunder galloping army, the wind galloping light cavalry of the wind galloping army, the Fengxiang cloud galloping army of the Fengxiang army, and the Yulin scouting camp of the badminton army, which all use the thread wildebeest as the mount. Now all the cavalry outside the city are thread wildebeest, and only Daqian has this kind of horse, Other countries, even if they try their best to collect them, will not be able to form such a scale. And the reason why the thread horned horse is called this name is that there is a spiral sharp angle in the middle of the horse's head. Yan Tuohai asked himself that he was absolutely right.

"If before last year, as long as the thread wildebeest appeared in the battlefield, it represented the arrival of the Yulin scouting camp, but now it is not the case." At this point, Qiu Xu took a deep breath. "After the battle of xiaoqingshan last year, three hundred Yulin scouts who originally belonged to the badminton army were brought back to the capital of Daqian by Lu Que and incorporated into the Changqing army. Now the army is also in Tianxing, led by Ye Zhiqiu, the youngest division of Daqian. I can be sure that the cavalry outside the city belongs to the scouting camp of Changqing army, Not the Yulin scouting camp. "

"How do you know for sure? Do you see any flaws in this cavalry outside the city?" Yan Tuohai looked back and forth on the cavalry and Qiu Xu's face outside the city and asked. This matter is related to what countermeasures should be used to defend the star city. Whether to hold the city firmly or to attack instead of defending, Yan Tuohai is not careful.

"No "As like as two peas," the emperor said, "this cavalry outside the city is the same as the Yalin scouts, whether it's a military flag, a armor or a horse ornament. But in my intuition, this cavalry must not belong to the great dry forest."

In fact, Qiu Xu didn't say one more thing, that is, among the 1000 light riders outside the city, more than 100 people are more proficient in controlling horses than others. The death of Qiu lie is the biggest pain of the Qiu family, so Qiu Xu has been paying more attention to Lu que. As long as it's information about Lu que, he will collect it carefully. Qiu Xu knew that Lu que had brought back more than 300 elite veterans from the Yulin scouting camp to the capital of Daqian. These veterans followed Lu que for thousands of miles and cut off the way for the wild lion army to return to the south, which made his elder brother Qiu lie defeat xiaoqingshan.

If this cavalry belonged to the current Yulin scouting camp, there would never be such an obvious gap in equestrian skills, because the newly-built Yulin scouting camp after the war of xiaoqingshan was trained according to the previous training methods, rather than the way of old soldiers leading new soldiers, so the gap in horse control skills would never be so obvious.

However, he can't tell Yan Tuohai about this, because everyone's talent and cultivation are different, and the skill of controlling horses will be different, which is not enough to win his trust. What's more, Yan Tuohai, in addition to treating his elder brother Qiu lie differently, hasn't had a good face for the three Zhengqing families in the past 20 or 30 years. Now in the public eye, Yan Tuohai is respected by many star cities, but in fact he and Yan Tuohai are in charge of the same army. He doesn't want to be defeated by Yan Tuohai and be deprived of military power by him.

"It's going to be night in a few hours, and you'll know the details when you look at it at night." Listen to Qiu Xu say so, Yan Tuohai also show the color of hesitation, but think of Gu Huairen outside the city in five or six days before the division of the consequences, Yan Tuohai can not help frowning and said, "if the badminton army has really gone south, then Heyan city is really dangerous."

"Yes, there are not enough troops. Facing the main force of Fengxiang army, it is already the limit. If the Yulin army and Fengxiang army join hands to attack the city, Xie Daoxian and Chai Yuanjian will not be able to hold on for long." Qiu Xu also said with a worried face that Xie Daoxian guarded Heyan city under his military order, and Chai Yuanjian also arranged to assist Xie Daoxian in Heyan city after he lost Guangji river village. Naturally, he knew very well how many troops there were and how many veterans among them could stand there. If the Fengxiang army and the Yulin army attacked the city day and night by dividing the north and South routes, I'm afraid the city will be lost.

At the same time, on the north wall of Heyan, Chai Yuanjian's eyes were red and panting, looking at the retreating soldiers. Starting from yesterday morning, the big army and the main force of Fengxiang army launched an attack on Heyan city.

For more than a month before, the Fengxiang army was just trying to attack the city, but it didn't mean to attack by force. So at first, Chai Yuanjian didn't care, but then he found out that it was wrong. The badminton army made great achievements in the East and the north, while the Fengxiang army made great achievements in the West and the south. There was no reason why there was a lack of one. It was obviously a strong attack.

What Chai Yuanjian didn't expect was that the offensive of the two armies of Da Qian didn't mean to stop at all. Each time, they sent 20000 soldiers to attack the city, and then replaced them when the soldiers were tired. Since yesterday morning, the offensive outside the city has not stopped, and now, the Da Qian army outside the city still has no intention to stop.

According to his preliminary estimation, the troops he brought out of Guangji water stronghold lost as much as 40% in just one day and one night, and nearly 20% of them were seriously injured. If he continued to launch an offensive outside the city, he would have no surplus troops to fill the defense gap on the wall.
