Chapter 311

"What?" Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi take a look at each other. Even with their spiritual cultivation, they are shocked. How can they not know what the outbreak of animal tide means.

"What specific strategies does your majesty and the inner and outer pavilions have?" Su Leyi is the first to wake up and asks Wei Jiu. She has been fighting for Tianxing. For the news of Daqian in China, she is far less nimble than Wei Jiu, who has been stationed in Huangyanjiang. In her mind, Wei Jiu's official position and channel must be able to know something about such a big thing.

Just to Gu Jieyun's surprise and Su Leyi's surprise, Wei Jiu, like them, shakes his head with worry and says, "I know it because Qingcheng showed us the private letter Lu que wrote to her. Now I don't know anything about it except that Liu Xiang has gone down to the south to take charge of the migration of twelve counties in southern Xinjiang and that Lu Que's generals have led the Changqing army to the south."

"It's reasonable to say that. The reason why your majesty and waige do this is that they are afraid that the news will disturb the morale of the army and make the war between heaven and stars more complicated. It's just that ~" Su Leyi understood it after a little thought, but she still hesitated.

"Just what, Leyi, what do you think of?" Gu Jieyun knew that his best friend could always see places that others couldn't see, so he asked.

Wei Jiu also looks at Su Leyi. He once admired this woman for many years. Even though he has married and had children today, he can't forget Su Leyi. Su Leyi has his love and admiration when he was young, which represents the beauty of the green years in that period. He naturally knows Su Leyi's knowledge and intelligence.

"It's just that Lu que, not the prime minister and Princess Chang, led the Changqing army to the south." Su Leyi frowned and said that in Su Leyi's mind, or in their generation's mind, the top three marshals of Daqian have always been Lu Chun, the Duke of Wei, Yu Chuqing, the eldest princess, and Bai Yi, the Marquis of Wu'an. Among the three, Lu Chun, Duke of Wei, is a generalist in military strategy, Bai Yi, Marquis of Wu'an, is a natural commander in attack, while Yu Chuqing, the eldest princess, is inferior to the two in military strategy, but her advantage is that she can mobilize all the resources she wants to mobilize.

Although Lu Que's overall strategy has proved his talent and ability, he is too young after all. In Su Leyi's mind, it's Lu Chun and Yu Chuqing, the couple who are second only to emperor and empress, who come to the south, who are more secure.

"Brother Lu is going to stay in Northern Xinjiang. Although it's nearly 20 years since the fall of Qingyang, brother Lu's reputation on the grassland in Northern Xinjiang has not been reduced. In this regard, marquis Wu'an is far behind brother Lu. With him in Northern Xinjiang, we don't have to worry about the threat of the Three Kingdoms on the grassland, and Princess Chang ~" Wei said, hesitating a little, I think it's more secure for Princess Chang to be in the imperial capital at this time. "

Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi were born in Guogong mansion, and had been infiltrating the army and the imperial court for many years. They were not only people who knew military strategy but also knew nothing about military affairs. They naturally understood that only when the eldest princess was in the capital at this time could the Lu family and their son, who were leading the army outside, have no worries. You should know that in the prosperous times, peace is a kind of Chinese language and beautiful clothes, and only when there is chaos can there be evil spirits. If the emperor does not have a princess in charge, not to mention Lu Chun and Lu's lack of father and son, even those front-line generals can not really rest assured.

"There was the Duke of Wei before, and then there was Lu que. During the reign of Hongxi for more than 20 years, the Lu family of Wei can be called the mainstay." Fan Yi, the deputy commander of the badminton army, said with emotion that although he was born in an aristocratic family, he gave up his official career and joined the new army when Lu Chun founded the army. He was also a famous general in the most prosperous army of that year. He had always loved and hated people, and had no sense of pride from his aristocratic family, Otherwise, the emperor would not arrange him to become Wei Jiu's deputy.

Hearing Fan Yi say so, Wei Jiu, Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi nodded. As Fan Yi said, Lu Chun was only in his early twenties when he set up the Tianhuo army according to the emperor's order, and he was less than 30 when he wiped out Qingyang. It seems that it is not too young for Lu que, who is now 17 years old, to lead the army southward and take charge of Southern Xinjiang.

"It seems that Lu que didn't want to rely on the mountains and rivers to defend himself when he moved the people in the border counties of Southern Xinjiang and the Changqing army came to the south." Su Leyi took out the map from the cuff of the armor and said.

"No matter what he's up to, I believe him." Gu Jieyun glanced at the map in Su Leyi's hand and said sonorously.

"I believe him, too." Su Leyi also nodded with a smile.

Both of them watched Lu que grow up. Naturally, they knew Lu Que's heart and talent. Since he had spent so much effort to move the people, he must have had all the plans in his heart. And they knew that even if they were sure, Lu would say eight points, and he would not do anything he was not sure about.

"Lu Que's talent is no less than that of Lu Xiang, and I believe in him." Fan Yi also said that this battle in southern Xinjiang really let Fan Yi know that someone can really make a perfect layout and grasp all the winning opportunities in his hands. At this time, he really admired Lu que, who was nearly 30 years younger than him. The so-called "those who have not reached the goal in succession are teachers" in the military strategy layout, He believed that Lu que, who was in charge of Southern Xinjiang, would be no less powerful than Lu Chun, the Duke of Wei.

"Naturally, we all believe in Lu que, but after all, the tide of animals is extraordinary. Before the arrival of the order from the outer court, we also need to make some preparations, especially the supplies." In the battle of xiaoqingshan last year, Wei Jiu had seen Lu Que's talent. However, as the leader, it has become a habit to count victory before defeat. Moreover, the enemy this time is not the two countries in southern Xinjiang, nor the three countries in Northern Xinjiang, or even the human race. In the face of all the unknown animal tides, no matter how much preparation we make, we can't do too much.

"I've ordered seven counties in Guangji Henan Province to deliver a batch of grain and grass. The calculation time will come in a few days. I will write to the seven counties again and order them to transport all the remaining grain to the front of the army except the seeds and half a year's rations. " Gu Jieyun nodded. She agreed with Wei Jiu's words very much. Besides military strength, morale, layout and wisdom, the only thing to compete in any war is logistics. At this time, the autumn grain has been collected. Although she can't afford to support hundreds of thousands of troops in seven counties, she doesn't have to worry about food and grass for the time being.

"That's good. Our badminton army didn't carry much military provisions this time." Fan Yi felt relieved at the news. This time he crossed the Huangyan River and entered the hinterland of Tianxing, the badminton army was very easy to follow. He only had enough grain for one month. He was worried about the supply of grain and grass before, but now he was relieved to hear Gu Jieyun say so. At this time, he could not help admiring the young man who was in charge of the war in southern Xinjiang.

In the previous military order, Lu que ordered the two armies of Yulin and benlei to take only one month's grain. Obviously, he had already arrived at this point, and made early arrangements. The whole southern battlefield, whether it was the two armies of Fengfeng and Huxiao stationed on the North Bank of Ning'an River in Nanli, or the three armies of Yulin, benlei and Fengxiang in Tianxing battlefield, was really connected into a whole by him. That's all, It's not something that ordinary people can do. At least if he and Lu que are in different places, he can't do so much.

"You don't have to worry about food and grass. After the war, I will distribute some food and grass to you." Su Leyi smiles, glances at Heyan City, which has been surrounded by Fengxiang army for two months, and says, "there are many people here. What we are talking about is not suitable for too many people to know. We'd better find a place to have a rest and then discuss. We must be tired all day and night."

"Is the inner city of Heyan really handed over to Princess Tianxiang?" Wei Jiu is a little worried and says that he thought Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi were just trying to give Princess Tianxiang a chance to win military merit. If they lead the army to sit back, they can make up for her mistakes in time. But listening to Su Leyi's words, she really handed over the attack on the inner city to Princess Tianxiang, and then she ignored it and waited for the victory.

Although there are talented people like Lu Que and women like Gu Qingcheng in the younger generation, it doesn't mean that everyone can give the task of siege to Princess Tianxiang like them. Wei Yi doesn't know whether Princess Tianxiang really has such talent or whether Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi have too much heart.

"Every commander of Da Qian's army is trained in blood and fire. Naturally, our Fengxiang army is no exception. Without excellent military strategy and brilliant achievements, how can we take over Fengxiang's military power?" Gu Jieyun should have said.

Wei drunk and Fan Yi smell speech to look at each other, the face shows a trace of helplessness, but also nod. Both of them are veteran generals in the army. Naturally, they know that military contributions can not be deceived. Although the Fengxiang army has a special position in the twelve main armies of Daqian, every generation of Royal princesses in charge of the army are also female heroes in the battlefield, not the weak and childish in the boudoir. Even though Yu Chuqing, who was the princess of the assistant governor at that time, worked hard every day and could be described as a man of many opportunities, he also came to the battle when he killed Qingyang. After the first World War, he was even more famous for being a bloody Phoenix by all ethnic groups in the grassland, which was also a real prestige by virtue of blood and fire.

If Princess Tianxiang wants to take charge of Fengxiang army after Princess Yu Chuqing, she must have the military achievements that match her. Otherwise, according to the practice before Daqian, the position of commander of Fengxiang army will be vacant, and then a new deputy commander will be added, and two deputy commanders will take charge of military affairs together with the military division.

And Wei Jiu and Fan Yi all know that this is Fengxiang army's internal affairs after all. Since Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi have decided, they can't let outsiders talk about it.

"When I just came here, I saw a mansion not far away from here that was not damaged by the war. Let's go there first." Fan Yi pointed to a direction and said.

"Good." Gu Jieyun, Su Leyi and Wei Jiu are naturally not without such things. Anyway, they are temporary. No one can be picky about these leaders who often sleep outside. The soldiers under his command were assigned to clean up the battlefield. The body of the general paoze converged, and then the remnant enemy troops in the outer city were wiped out. The rest of them guarded the four gates tightly and had a rest in groups. Then the four went to Fan Yi's house.

But when they arrived at the mansion, they didn't want to rest. Instead, they spread out a map in the main hall to discuss how to deal with the beast tide. At this time, there was a cry of killing in the direction of the inner city.

Different from the previous attack on the outer city of Heyan, now the outer city wall has changed hands. Yu Tianxiang asked the strong bow and crossbow to find the commanding point in the city, and after suppressing the inner city garrison, he concentrated his forces to attack the west gate of the inner city. She is very clear that this is the opportunity that Gu Jieyun and Su Leyi specially left her, but it is also a kind of test.

In the history of Fengxiang army for more than 200 years, although the military commanders were all royal princesses, it did not mean that there were military commanders in every generation of Fengxiang army. Three times in history, there were no military commanders in Fengxiang army for about 70 years, because the Royal princesses at that time had no ability to command hundreds of thousands of troops.

Yu Tianxiang knows that both his father and his aunt hope that she can take over the post of commander of Fengxiang army. But there must be a premise, that is, military achievements, so that both the internal and external pavilions and the central departments of the court can not choose the military achievements that they disagree with. If the inner city of Heyan in front of her is conquered, and she can capture or kill the Tianxing generals Xie Daoxian and Chai Yuanjian alive, It will undoubtedly give her a lot of confidence.

Nie Pingjing, the former commander of Fengxiang army, obviously knew this. As soon as the war started, he launched a fierce attack on the west gate of the inner city. When Luo Jian, the general of the badminton army, saw that the Fengxiang army was like this, he was not willing to be outdone. You should know that the badminton army and the Fengxiang army were stationed in the imperial capital in peacetime. Except for the evergreen army directly controlled by the emperor, they were not able to compete with each other, At this time, Luo Jian and Luo Yi naturally did not want the Fengxiang army to beat them when they attacked the inner city of Heyan. Even now the nominal chief general is Yu Tianxiang, Princess Daqian of the Fengxiang army's deputy military division. They are pure soldiers. Even if their military positions are not low, the change of power and intrigue above the court have nothing to do with them.

"Brother, what shall we do?" When Yu Tianxiang conquered the western city, Xie Daoquan, a member of the chaotic army, felt a headache inexplicably, and then fainted. When he woke up, he was already in the inner city. Before he knew what had happened, he heard the sound of the arrow breaking through the air and the earth shaking cry. After asking some pale soldiers, Xie Daoquan went straight up to the city wall and found Xie Daoxian. However, he found that the army with the flag of Fengxiang army and Yulin army had begun to attack the inner city. He said anxiously.

The outer city has been lost. Although the inner city is still in their hands, now people with clear eyes can see that Heyan city can't be defended. Xie Daoquan's heart has already begun to retreat at this time, but the inner city is surrounded. Even if he wants to go, for a moment, he can't figure out how to escape from Shengtian.

"Brother Chai, what do you think?" Xie Daoxian didn't answer his brother's words. Instead, he looked at Chai Yuanjian.

"We are the ministers of the stars. If we fight to death in such a desperate situation, we can either successfully retreat from the enemy or serve our country with our own lives. What can we say?" Chai Yuanjian's eyes were red and he said with gnashing teeth. The death of Pan Juchuan greatly stimulated Chai Yuanjian. He hated Luo Jian, who had shot pan Juchuan before, and Da Qian, who had attacked the inner city in front of him. If he had been lucky before, now he just wanted to fight to the end until he lost his last drop of blood.

Looking at Chai Yuanjian, who used to pay attention to appearance, now looks like this. Thinking of Pan Juchuan being shot to save him, and seeing the Daqian army under the city carrying the siege ladder approaching quickly, as well as the red on both sides of the army as if it were blood stained and as if it were a phoenix flag burning in flames, Xie Daoxian's heart also rises a trace of sadness.

Xie Daoxian went to Chai Yuanjian, patted Chai Yuanjian on the shoulder and said, "brother Chai, although you and I have known each other since childhood, we have no deep friendship. Today, the lonely city is desperate. I would like to work with brother Chai to drain the last drop of blood for Tianxing."

At this time, what Xie Daoxian said was sincere. Although his elder sister Xie Daoqin said that she would allow him to be loyal to his country and take him away at the last moment, Xie Daoxian did not want to live in the world. He was general Tianxing and the eldest son of the Xie family. He had his pride and his own choice. Even if Xie Daoqin was his elder sister, his cultivation was not comparable to him, But it can't control his will.

"I just hate that I haven't been able to have a good time with brother Xie these years, but it's not too late." Chai Yuanjian released a water bag from his waist. After opening it, a fresh and strong breath of wine overflowed from the water bag. At this time, he was not afraid of people saying that the army could not drink. After two mouthfuls, he handed the water bag to Xie Daoxian.

"Ha ha, good!" Xie Daoxian looked back and forth at Chai Yuanjian and the water bag in his hand. He laughed, took the water bag and drank it.

"Have a good time." Xie Daoxian took out a mouthful of wine, drew out his sword from his waist, and cried out, "Tianxing's sons, life and death are all in this battle, who is willing to follow this general to resist the enemy?"

"Who is willing to fight to the death with the enemy under the city?" Chai Yuanjian will also be in the hands of the tip of a short gun at one stroke, a big shout.

"We will die for the general." Although he had just suffered a great defeat and lost the most fortified outer city of Heyan, most of the Tianxing soldiers who retreated to the inner city at this time came from Xie and Chai. They were loyal to Xie Daoxian and Chai Yuanjian, the eldest sons of Xie and Chai. At this time, they could not help but arouse their fighting spirit when they saw the pride of their faces in the face of thousands of enemies.

"Beat the drum, fight to the death." Xie Daoxian looked at a pair of intrepid and fearless eyes, his face was a little moved, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and drank a lot.

Different from the battle drum of Daqian, the sound of the drum suddenly sounded in the inner city, and a feather arrow with the sound of breaking the air shot down the city. At the same time, outside the inner city, a feather arrow was also shot out of the building which used to be a high tower Restaurant. For a moment, the hum and scream kept ringing up and down the city wall.
