Chapter 76: The Cavalry Prepares for a Raid
Xu Kang's voice was so stern that even Xian Yufu on the side broke into a cold sweat.
Yao Hu looked at Xu Kang blankly and said, "I didn't." But then when he thought that he was going to join the Fengtian Army, his father Yao Guang suddenly handed the plan into his hands and asked him to persuade the Fengtian Army to implement it.
Plan. His expression was so earnest at that time. Although it was strange, Yao Hu thought it was just because his father was too worried about the safety of Xuantu County.
It was just a danger and he didn’t think about it carefully. And after all, this plan was his own hard work. If it could be implemented, his long-cherished wish would be fulfilled. That’s why he was so active in completing this matter, but today I heard Xu Kang say this
As soon as he said it, he immediately thought that although he had no other ideas, his father might really have such thoughts.
His father had it, and his son took care of it. Thinking of this, Yao Hu was so confused that he didn't know how to deal with it.
Seeing his expression, Xu Kang sneered: "For your father's sake, I'll spare you this time, and you can go down."
Yao Hu lost his mind and staggered away with the help of the guards.
At this time, Xian Yufu suddenly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said anxiously: "Please make atonement, sir. I am not my Lord, but I almost fell into the enemy general's trick."
"It's not your fault, get up." Xu Kang shook his head tiredly and said, "Although we know it is the enemy's trick, we may have to fall into it."
"Ah." Xian Yufu said in surprise: "Why is this? Is it true that you really intend to implement this plan?"
Xu Kang nodded and said: "Since our Fengtian Army is called Fengtian, how can we ignore the people of the world in order to preserve our strength? Go quickly and prepare the troops. After I have considered it carefully, I can give the order to set off."
Xian Yufu was about to speak but stopped, not knowing what to say, so he had to retreat.
Xu Kang was about to study the plan brought by Yao Hu carefully when Gong Yinglian and Ci Mei walked in.
Xu Kang was surprised: "You are here like this?"
Gong Yinglian blushed and didn't know how to answer. Ci Mei had already spoken first: "We were eavesdropping outside the door just now." Seeing Xu Kang's glare, Ci Mei stuck out her cute tongue and said, "What you said
, we all heard it, are you really willing to make such a big sacrifice for the people of Liaodong?"
"Tch, of course not." Xu Kang said lazily: "I have absolutely no choice. Goguryeo's strength far exceeds my imagination. Their generals are prudent and experienced in fighting. They have such a huge military advantage, but they refuse to
They launched a fierce attack on us and seem to be planning to fight us."
Ci Mei was originally moved by Xu Kang's righteous deeds. When she suddenly heard what he said, she was immediately discouraged and said, "Look, I said he couldn't be so kind."
Gong Yinglian pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I didn't say anything. Anyway, no matter what the reason is, if Goguryeo is willing to withdraw its army, the people of Xuantu County will finally be saved."
"You know how to be partial." Cimei curled her lips, and then said excitedly: "Then spend it. Didn't you say that this is our territory and we have the home field advantage. If we lose it in this round, we will definitely win in the end.
."
Xu Kang sighed and said: "Theoretically, this is true, but in fact, our Fengtian Army has just captured Liaodong County, and various resources have been greatly consumed. Now is the time to fully develop production. If we waste a lot of time and energy on Xuantu
County here, to me
Our long-term interests in Liaodong are extremely detrimental. And to the court, we may be more annoying than those Goguryeo people. If those senior officials go crazy for a moment and order other officers and soldiers to cooperate with Goguryeo to jointly attack our Fengtian Army, then we will be dead.
."
Ci Mei was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said: "Impossible, how could the imperial court do such a thing?" She did ask Gong Yinglian the last sentence.
Gong Yinglian hurriedly comforted her: "Of course not, don't listen to his nonsense."
Xu Kang spread his hands and said: "Okay, just think that I have a persecution delusion. In short, in order to avoid these unpleasant things from happening, I must deal with Goguryeo as soon as possible, and then return to Liaodong. Use a big victory as a warning.
We, the Fengtian Army, are not easy to mess with anyone who is ready to take action."
Gong Yinglian walked up to him and said, "How are you going to make a sneak attack?"
Xu Kang said harshly: "I decided to personally lead the cavalry to attack Goguryeo's domestic city. If we can capture their king, then we will win this battle, and from now on Goguryeo will be free to be manipulated as we want."
"You want to do it yourself?"
Xu Kang was stunned and said: "Of course, who else could we send?"
"Xian Yufu." Gong Yinglian explained: "Didn't you say you wanted him to stand alone? This is not the best opportunity."
"But..." Xu Kang frowned and wanted to refute.
Gong Yinglian interrupted: "You are already the commander-in-chief of the army, no longer a general charging into battle. And no matter how strong you are, you can be stronger than Xiang Yu, but why did he lose to Liu Bang? He just didn't know how to use the generals around him to do everything.
Rush in by yourself
At the front. This will certainly win the love of the soldiers, but what will the other generals think? They came to join the army just to make achievements, but now you have taken away all their opportunities to kill the enemy and make achievements. Do you think they will be grateful to you?
?”
When Xu Kang heard this, he felt as if he had been enlightened, and his body and mind went cold. He said: "You are right, I almost did another stupid thing."
An order was immediately issued, with Xian Yufu as the main general and Pei Yuanshao as the deputy general, leading the cavalry to prepare to set off.
When Yao Hu was brought to Xu Kang again, he thought that Xu Kang had decided to kill him to vent his anger. Unexpectedly, Xu Kang just asked calmly: "Can you ensure that there are no omissions in your plan?"
Yao Hu was stunned for a moment, then said "Ah", "What do you mean, sir?"
"I mean I'm ready to carry out your plan."
"But..." Yao Hu still couldn't believe it. Since he already thought it was a trap, why did he jump into it?
"There is nothing you can do. You are putting the entire people of Xuantu County in front of me to bet with me. I have no other choice but to lose." Xu Kang looked so compassionate that even he was almost moved.
Yao Hu's face turned red and he said excitedly: "General, you are so righteous. I, Yao Hu, will die to repay you."
Xu Kang shook his head and said: "Rescuing the people is not your job alone, it is the job of all our soldiers. Where do I need your repayment? If you are really sorry, kill a few more enemies and avenge the people who died in Xuantu County.
."
"Yes." Yao Hu lowered his head deeply.
That night, Xu Kang personally arranged and quietly sent the cavalry battalion out of the battlefield, watching the rolling cavalry quietly disappear into the black night, like a stream flowing into a river, without causing any waves.
