Chapter 358: Replacing Defense with Offense
"Gao" With the sound of anxiety, a message soldier broke the tranquility of the morning, shocked many birds and ran towards the state capital.
The lively crowds in Zhoufu Street were a bit sluggish due to the recent recession, and fewer pedestrians were getting worse. Seeing the rushing messengers, everyone scattered.
This kind of urgent messaging that can be blocked will be killed without any quasi-de-stop.
The message soldier went to Zhongqinbo's mansion, and entered the Governor's mansion in a blink of an eye and submitted an urgent report.
As soon as Zhongqin Boluo hesitated, he took it and looked at it. He was furious, but it didn't explode. His face was gloomy and he stood up and walked a few steps. In fact, this place was deep in the Governor's Mansion, but after some wind, his anger had not disappeared. He came back and threw the teacup on the ground: "Damn it, a bunch of bastards."
Scolding, sat down and pondered.
"King Lu is really sinister." Bo Zhongqin knocked on the table, frowned, and thought to himself: "Is it because my strategy is wrong?"
This thought appeared in Zhong Qinbo's mind, his face changed, and he stretched out his hand and patted it gently, as if he wanted to dispel these emotions.
"I have to admit that I refer to Pei Ziyun's strategy to deal with Zhong Qinbo in Yingzhou, but after the staff's consuls, there is no mistake, how could there be any mistakes?" But this thought lingered in Zhong Qinbo's mind, and he looked solemn, and took out several memorable letters to look at it.
"I didn't expect that the Lu King cavalry was as elite as the grain transport team, five or six times, and the county and county were also defeated."
"What's even more terrifying is that these cavalry have a very sensitive sense of smell. I set up ambush several times, but I was also avoided."
"I wanted to trap King Lu, but I didn't want to be trapped."
The sun shines on the windows, and the birds chirping outside. The scenery of the past is now heartbreaking.
"Come, call the generals for me." Zhongqin Bo finally made up his mind and gave orders outside the door, and someone answered his order.
Meeting Hall
The personal soldiers in front of the hall stood on both sides of the row, each of whom was standing upright like a nail, and was filled with a nervous atmosphere, and the air became even hotter.
The person in charge of the grain was the Supervisor, the fourth-rank official, who looked about forty, sat on the side of the general, with a pale face on his body, sweat kept flowing down his forehead, and wiped it with a towel.
Bo Zhongqin seemed to look at the case file, with a calm expression and without saying a word. After a long time, he raised his head and stared at the governor of grain. He slapped his hand and stood up, throwing the attacked book of the grain channel at the feet of the governor of grain.
"Yuan Song, as a grain supervisor, you have lost the grain route repeatedly. According to military law, you should be killed!" Zhongqin Bo roared, his face turned red. Yuan Song picked up the case file. Hearing this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Brother, uncle, it's really a reason. Lu Wangjun is extremely fierce for some reason. Our grain route is not an opponent at all."
"Oh, why isn't it the opposite method?" Zhong Qinwang asked, feeling cold.
"Brother, I shouldn't have said that I didn't say anything. I didn't say that the strange powers were chaotic, but the Lu King cavalry had many strange phenomena, like demons possessed them. Someone reported that the Lu King cavalry saw the leopard man."
"We are just wing soldiers. How can we resist such demon soldiers?"
"There is nonsense. The court has a Taoist department. These things are semi-public. Taoist techniques cannot be fought against. There are people in Lu Wang's army. Do you think I am stupid? People come and take them out and behead them."
As he said that, there were armored soldiers coming forward and the governor of grain and senator went out.
"Sir, please spare me, everything I said is true." The governor of the grain senator struggled and shouted loudly: "Sir, it is not my fault for fighting!"
The voice was miserable, and several generals looked at each other and went forward to plead: "Brother, we are also guilty and failed to destroy the Lu King cavalry. I also asked Mr. Yuan to forgive Lord Yuan and kill the ministers in the battle. It is very unknown."
Zhongqin Bo looked around everyone. He actually didn't want to kill him. He just lost the food route and was always responsible. However, it was not the late stage of the previous dynasty, and officials were flooded. The fourth rank was already considered a senior official. It was easy to kill him, but the consequences were hard to say. Now someone pleaded for mercy and sighed: "Since you all pleaded for mercy, you can avoid the death penalty. However, although you are exempted from death penalty, you can be spared from the crime of living. You can beat twenty military sticks to serve as a warning!"
The armored soldiers agreed and came up and pressed them down, and beat them up. The governor of the grain was a civil servant, so they could not withstand such a beating. After only ten sticks, they fell into a coma. When they reached twenty sticks, their breath became weak.
"Please carry it down and treat it for a while." Zhongqin Boluo was upset, but there was nothing he could do about it. He turned around and asked, "What advice do you have in the current situation?"
The general was speechless when he listened to each other. After a long time, someone said, "Brother, Qinzhou is close to the land of horses and lands, and there are many cavalrymen, and it is like the wind. It is difficult to fight against simple infantry. Originally, we still had some cavalry, but we lost a battle not long ago. Now we only have five hundred cavalry, and can only guard the central army."
"Although I have asked the court for help, it is said that the cavalry is being recruited, but it still takes time, but it is impossible for a while..."
Listening to these words, Zhong Qinbo felt a sense of distraction and could not speak. A feeling of decadence spreading, heavy. It took him a long time to say: "Then let it be, you all go down."
The general responded: "Yes, Master."
Bo Zhongqin had to disperse the account, and his original idea was shaken again: "Is it really my fault? Is it true that King Lu really has a destiny?"
A feeling of uneasiness filled my heart. When following the battle, Zhongqin Bo always felt that the coach was not very difficult to plan, but when he really got it, he realized that the heavy pressure was almost breathless. When he returned with a lead-filled step, a scholar came up with a letter and ginseng soup: "Mr. Bo, you have worked hard for a day. Drinking ginseng tea to replenish your body. If your body collapses, who will preside over the war?"
This scholar was Zhong Qinbo's counselor, and he was always dedicated to his efforts and was highly valued by Zhong Qinbo. However, at this time, Zhong Qinbo was in a heavy mood. He forced a smile and sat on the chair. He took the ginseng soup and drank it all. The ginseng tea flowed into his stomach with warmth. He felt a sense of fatigue coming, and his whole body leaned against the chair.
After a long time of motion, he struggled to get up for a moment, and looked at the family letter. He couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw his grandson's birth. His eyes lit up, but he stared at the candlelight and his eyes dimmed. He sighed for a while: "It's a good thing, but... the current situation."
He sighed at this point: "I wanted to block King Lu, but I didn't want to be restrained by King Lu. Cavalry attacked all the roads, preventing counties from connecting, and more than 100,000 troops could not move."
"Grandpa may not be able to add glory to you, so it may be bad."
"Master, you have worked hard for the court. I think Your Majesty will understand this painstaking effort." The scholar comforted him. Listening to the scholar's words, Uncle Zhongqin waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with Your Majesty's trust in me. It costs more than 100,000 troops a day, and you have to spend 100,000 taels of silver on the court. I know that the court's treasury is not much, and Your Majesty is in poor health. How can I allow me to spend a lot of money to fight for a long time?"
As he said that, he sighed: "Am I really not as good as Pei Ziyun?"
Just thinking about it, I felt a pain in my heart. The sun shone on the window. Bo Zhongqin looked at the dust in a daze. The scholar was about to comfort him again, but suddenly someone rushed in and knelt down and saluted with a "splash" and reported: "Immediately, Hanzhong was taken down by King Lu."
"What?" This was a thunderclap. The two of them were stunned and kept their posture as before. Then, the scholar woke up and rushed to the desk. When he looked at the map, his voice suddenly changed: "Master, something is wrong."
"Once Hanzhong gets it, King Lu can attack Jing and Shu, and the whole north is shocked. If you can further give Jing and Shu one, the whole world will be in danger. At that time..."
"No matter how much favor I have, I will be punished, and even harm my family." Zhongqin Bo came back to his senses, sat down dejectedly, and smiled bitterly: "This is a bolt from the blue. I just lost my composure."
As he said that, pointing to the map, his face turned pale: "At the beginning, when I saw that King Lu had only 20,000 soldiers, I rushed straight to the capital. I felt that King Lu was young and very reckless."
"But then Qinzhou fell into it, and I realized that King Lu attracted the attention of the court and gave the rear time to integrate."
"At the moment, I thought I could not move here, and I could crush the army several times. I didn't want to do it, but it was King Lu who was secretly repairing the plank road and secretly crossing Chencang."
"Now I have a counterattack and broken Hanzhong, and the situation has changed drastically. I am bound to move here." Zhongqin Bo smiled bitterly: "I followed many commanders to fight, and even the emperor to fight. Usually, the military aircraft of the counselor is remarkable, but once I presided over the charge myself, I missed all kinds of mistakes."
"Is there any talent in this world that is born with?
"Brother, you can talk about these reviews later. Now for the current plan, you will have to break the deadlock." The scholar said anxiously: "Do you send a message to Jing and Shu immediately and order them to be prepared?"
"Send a document to Jing and Shu, and order their defenses to be prepared. It is only a remedial strategy. The world is peaceful, and the army is removed and the fields are returned to Jing and Shu. There is no soldiers now. Even if you issue a document immediately, it is not a short time to recruit defense." Zhongqin Bo's pupils flashed with cold light, and his voice was mute: "The north of Hanzhong is based on the Qinling Mountains and the south Pingba Mountains, forming a basin. It has been called the country of Tianfu since ancient times. This is nothing, the key is the terrain. If you get it, you will shake half of the world."
"With this town, King Lu's whole game of chess will be alive, and the court will be in danger. The emperor is the founding king, so he will not be unable to see it. If I have no countermeasures and let the situation go bad, I am afraid that I will be locked and taken to Beijing within a month and I will be appointed a new general to replace me!"
"So all the strategies that took a long time will be of no use to me now." Zhongqin Bo was finally Zhongqin Bo. He was stunned just now, and now he has recovered his calmness and wisdom. At this time, he was pacing with a gloomy expression and said, "Only by attacking instead of defending and attracting the enemy troops in Hanzhong to return, can Jingshu be given time to prepare and relieve the crisis."
After Bo Zhongqin finished speaking, he stood up and pushed open the window, and then he pushed it away. There was a deep thunder in the sky, and a gust of wind immediately rushed into the study with a fishy smell. Both of them shivered. As expected, half of the sky was covered by thick clouds, and thunder came from time to time.
Bo Zhongqin looked at the sky without hesitation, and said word by word: "Tell me the order, immediately summon the generals, bite King Lu, and consume it with him at any cost."
"Even if three soldiers die to fight against one soldier of Lu, it is still a good deal. I want to see, Lu is in danger, and Hanzhong dares to continue to fight?"
