Sun Yi stared at Zheng Jun and said, "What explanation should I give?"
The general's two military orders, the first one said to withdraw the troops, but you said there is no need to withdraw.
The second article says, let the Western Chu army be informed to avoid misunderstandings, but you still say that’s not what you meant?
So what does that mean?
Why are today's military attachés more skilled than civilian officials? Are you warriors?
Although Sun Yi wanted to complain very much, he still listened. More importantly, he still had thoughts about Tuzhou without withdrawing his troops, which was in line with Sun Yi's wishes.
Zheng Jun cupped his hands and chuckled: "The general said this just euphemistically. His real purpose is to let us find a name for being reasonable. It is just a good teacher who has a reputation."
"Ah?" Sun Yi nodded, "I understand, isn't that what I mean? Isn't it reasonable to inform Xi Chu first and then wait for them to offend us before we take action?"
He felt aggrieved and reckless, and felt that he understood it correctly.
Wei Ran and Lin Bei stopped laughing. Instead, they held their chins in one hand and looked at this ignorant guy.
Zheng Jun saw that he still didn't understand, so he had to speak more clearly: "But General Sun, the Western Chu army knows that we are here. If they abide by the rules and do not invade, won't we not be able to make a name for ourselves?"
"Eh? Haha?" Sun Yi's eyes lit up, and his clear and stupid eyes shone with light.
It was as if he suddenly realized something.
Yes, if Xichu doesn't invade, wouldn't our trip be in vain?
"Then what are you going to do?" Sun Yi looked at Wei Ran and Lin Bei.
Zheng Jun stopped talking. He just understood the meaning. How to operate it was what Wei Ran, the left forward, should think about.
Wei Ran narrowed his eyes: "How many sets of equipment of the Beiliang Army have we captured?"
"You mean that?" Lin Bei nodded knowingly.
"More than four thousand sets, but there is no leather armor. They are ordinary cotton armor and cloth armor. Some even don't wear armor." Sun Yi answered.
Zheng Jun nodded and understood: "Tuzhou is attacked, so the Beiliang Army will naturally send troops to support..."
"Ah?" Sun Yi reacted quickly this time, "Wei Ran, do you want to pretend to be the Beiliang Army and capture Tuzhou?"
"But if this happens, we won't be able to stand in the future. If we take Tuzhou and immediately change the flag of Daxia? Xi Chu is not blind." Sun Yidao.
This time he was right.
Lin Bei and Zheng Jun also nodded.
"Haha..." Wei Ran narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Brother Lin, the Western Chu Army in Tuzhou has just experienced a tough battle and its military strength is critical. If the firearms battalion can blow open the city gate, how many people do we need to send to capture Tuzhou as soon as possible? ?”
"According to the defeated Beiliang army in Tuzhou, the Chu army in Tuzhou is less than seven thousand. If we can capture the city gate quickly and our army is unprepared after entering the city... we have a great chance of winning!" Lin Beixin said.
The Western Chu army is not weak, but it has just experienced a big battle and won a great victory. It is physically and mentally exhausted and will lose vigilance.
This time is the best time to attack by surprise.
Wei Ran nodded: "Then attack Tuzhou overnight and capture Tuzhou before the sun rises as reinforcements from the Northern Liang Army."
"Yes, good evening. No one can see clearly at night. It's hard to tell whether we are the Northern Liang Army or not."
"The whole army took action, but the firearms battalion was only responsible for blowing up the door. The firearms could not be exposed, otherwise the explanation would not be clear."
Zheng Jun was helpless when he heard that he had no job again.
But it is true. Once the firearm goes off, any fool will know that Xia Jun is coming.
"Then it's settled. We'll keep the firearms battalion and the wounded soldiers, and everyone will change into the uniforms of the Beiliang Army. Those who don't have enough will be left behind."
"Night attack on Tuzhou!"
…
The head of Linzhou City.
Looking northwest, which is the direction of Tuzhou, Fangjue was eating melon seeds and enjoying the wind and snow very comfortably.
The snow in Linzhou was heavier than that in Hanzhou. Fang Jue was wrapped in cotton clothes, his hands were slightly red from the cold, and a hot pot was set up on the city wall.
When Wei Feng heard this, he came shamelessly. Cheng Jie and Dong Gui arrived soon after. Fan Ji was embarrassed but still came here with a coveted face.
"It's cool!" Everyone felt happy while eating hot food and drinking the sake that was given to the army.
After being stationed in Linzhou for two days, Fang Jue ordered to reward the entire army. He had already eaten several meals of meat, and those who were not on guard duty could also drink a little.
The soldiers, who have been tense and nervous, also need comfort. There are no threats from all directions at the moment, and they can rest for two days.
Seeing that several people were satisfied with eating and drinking, Fang Jue said: "Starting from tomorrow, you can eat meat as usual, but no alcohol."
"A ban on alcohol?" Several people were still confused.
Fang Jue chuckled: "You haven't had enough?"
"No, General, there is no war. There is too much wine here in Beiliang. It would be a waste if you don't drink it." Fan Ji muttered.
People in Beiliang like to drink because it's cold.
The state capitals in Beiliang are particularly cold, so the state capitals and the military stockpiles have the largest amount of wine, and even the military has the habit of drinking.
As long as it's not wartime, drinking is allowed.
Xia Jun was different. He was not allowed to drink on weekdays. He was only allowed to drink as much as he wanted to in order to reward the troops and on national holidays.
It had only been two days, and the soldiers had just finished enjoying themselves, so naturally they felt that they still had more to enjoy.
In this regard, Fang Jue explained: "Luoyang and Emperor Liang are negotiating, and maybe there will be a truce. If so, we must prepare early and send people to Bailong Snow Mountain to block their only way to attack Linzhou."
"Didn't the general send someone to the White Dragon Snow Mountain?" Cheng Jie said.
If the civil war in Beiliang ends, then the first priority is to regain the lost territory.
There will be wars on the East China Sea front line, the Linzhou front line and the West Chu side, so Fang Jue must be on guard.
Although Emperor Liang endured the humiliation and the chance of reconciliation with Luo Yang was very small, Fang Jue couldn't be careless. An old Yinbi like Luo Yang might be still negotiating with Emperor Liang on the surface, but in fact he had already reached an agreement, and then sent people back to surprise Lin. state!
Fang Jue believed that Luo Yang could definitely do this.
"I sent a firearms battalion of 100 households and 3,000 people, but we still have to be on guard against the Western Chu. If they really want to become enemies of our army, they will not have a few days to rest."
Fang Jue said: "Starting tomorrow, we have to practice and don't lose our effort."
"Don't worry, General. That's definitely not the case. The brothers can only complain a few words and won't disobey military orders." Wei Feng said with a smile. He has been in the military camp all year round and can understand the psychology of the soldiers.
When the lieutenants of Lizhou Camp and Liangzhou Camp wisely left the scene, leaving Cheng Jie and Wei Feng alone, they looked at each other.
Then he looked towards Fang Jue.
"General, tell me, Wei Ran and others, can they understand what you mean?" Wei Feng asked with a smile.
People who serve as officials in the capital, even military attachés, should not underestimate their wisdom.
To be able to stand there, to be regarded as a confidant by the emperor, and to be sent to the Musket Bureau as the commander of the army, cannot be summed up by the word "loyalty".
It was late at night, and the military chief had naturally rested. No one heard the conversation between Fang Jue and his confidants.
But he still just smiled: "What do I mean?"
"Hehe..." Both of them muttered lightly and did not say anything clearly.
Cheng Jie smiled and said: "The general is very curious about what methods General Wei and his friends will use."
Not to mention Cheng Jie, Fang Jue and Wei Feng were also very curious.
In order not to imply too obviously, Fang Jue could only give the order like this, but he felt that Lin Bei would definitely understand.
Lin Bei understood, and Wei Ran naturally understood.
And this is also the reason why Sun Yi is not allowed to be the forward commander. With Sun Yi's political wisdom... Fang Jue cannot count on him.
As for Wei Ran, Fang Jue is not worried and thinks he must have a solution.
After all, as the front line against Northern Liang, Liangzhou was harassed and invaded on a daily basis. As the commander-in-chief of Liangzhou, Wei Ran could naturally find a way to draw inferences from one instance.
"It's just that this time, the casualties will be considerable." Fang Jue shook his head.
No matter what kind of tactics are used, there must be sacrifices. We cannot use the tactics used in Shuangzhou and on the north bank of the Linjiang River, where the firearms camp takes the lead.
This time it was different. We had to stand firm in name and leave Xichu speechless. The firearms camp couldn't show off directly.
No matter what Wei Ran did, he could not fully utilize the firearms battalion, so the casualties would naturally return to the number that should be expected on a normal battlefield.
"General, this is inevitable." Wei Feng knew that Fang Jue had always disliked traditional warfare, not only because he promoted firearms, but also because he couldn't bear it.
But these veteran generals, who kill like hemp, have long been as cold-blooded as a knife.
These few casualties are nothing compared to the results of the battle.
As long as Tuzhou can be captured, you can attack Xichu if you advance, and defend Linzhou if you retreat, consolidating the results of the three states that have been won.
This strategic significance is very important, which is why Wei Feng clearly hinted that Wei Ran should take Tuzhou, but did not dissuade him.
This move is detrimental to personal morality, but it is a great righteousness for the country, and a man should not cherish his reputation.
Just like Luo Yang of Beiliang, everyone said that he was a sinister villain, but he was ranked third in the list of famous generals. This chapter has been completed!
