One hundred and seventieth chapter five military officers
The northern part of Yongchang County has entered a severe winter, and no matter how much food they store, most of the people are not even willing to leave more room.
Especially now, the northern area of Yongchang County is obviously not at peace, and the people can only close their doors tightly, looking forward to the coming spring when the bad world will come to an end.
The original military barracks inside and outside Tianmen Pass have disappeared, leaving only some remaining traces indicating the prosperity it once had.
But on the northern side of Tianmen Pass towards Yongchang County, not far from the official road, a brand new camp with a small town appearance has been built on the back of the mountain and facing the water. Although the wall is still a simple wooden barrier, the inside is just
It is a simple military tent, but regardless of the size of the area or the layout of the city, it is already the prototype of a small city.
On this day, when the clouds were gathering and it was about to get dark, the camp, which was usually heavily guarded, opened its gates unusually.
Not long after, a well-equipped cavalry force with a solemn appearance rushed into the camp amidst the vibrations of the earth like drums.
Soon, each military tent was lit up with fire, especially the one in the center of the camp that was so ridiculously big that it could almost be regarded as a hall. Multiple lights were lit at once, and bonfires were lit in all directions outside the tent.
, making the inside of the big tent very bright.
There were a lot of people in the big tent. A huge map that was fully unfolded and two meters wide was tied with ropes at the four corners and hung in the air. A tall figure wearing blood-colored armor was standing in front of the map and meditating. He held it in his left hand.
Holding a yellow stone and a polished wooden stick in his right hand, he was drawing circles on the map. It was Luochuan.
In the corner of the military tent not far from him stood two graceful women. One was the beautiful woman Qianxue who had put on her veil again, and the other was a young female Taoist wearing a blue robe with a cold expression.
The person remained speechless and motionless, as if he had entered a painting.
Standing solemnly in a row behind Luochuan were five soldiers with strong postures.
The one on the far left is none other than Blood Cavalry General Luo Changgong, who always wears blood-colored armor and a blood-colored mask no matter where he is. The four people behind him just put their helmets in the crook of their left arms and stood in solemn silence.
Standing next to Luo Changgong is a burly middle-aged man of the same stature. He has a Chinese character face, no beard or hair, deep eyebrows, thick lips, and looks loyal and steady. He is Lu Sen, the Marquis of the Second Cavalry of Lijun Qingqi.
.
The next person who came over was also tall and looked younger than Lu Sen. His ordinary face had a pair of falcon-like eyes. The clear black and white were unforgettable. He was Meng Xiaofan, the 3rd Cavalry Corps Marquis of Lijun Qingqi.
The person next to him looked the youngest, probably in his thirties at most. Apart from his unique short hair, which is extremely rare in this world, the most eye-catching thing was the terrifying scar that ran up and down his right face, like a centipede.
Standing there is Shi Dao, the commander of the Fourth Cavalry Corps of Lijun Qingqi.
The last one looks somewhat similar to Meng Xiaofan, but without those falcon-like eyes, which makes him look more ordinary overall. He is Meng Xiaofan's younger brother, the Marquis of the Fifth Cavalry Corps of Lijun Qingqi, Meng Xiaocheng.
There was no sound in the tent, Luochuan remained silent and the others could only stand like iron towers without any movement.
It wasn't until the curtain of the big tent was opened that Si Qi and Hua Yu came in with hot tea, the tranquility was broken.
The two first handed a cup of tea to Qianxue and the young female Taoist, and then handed tea to the five cavalry officers in turn. Finally, Siqi placed Luochuan's tea on a table not far from him and said, "Sit down and drink."
Let’s warm ourselves up with a cup of tea.”
Luochuan came back to his senses, put down the wooden stick, picked up the teacup, and said to the people behind him, "Everyone sit down and talk."
After saying that, he took a seat first, but his eyes were still on the map, "The camp we are in at the moment is located at Tianmen Mountain Pass. Tongcang City in the east and Zhengcang City in the northeast are already in our hands. Only the city in the north is in our hands.
Liangcang City is still in the hands of Han Feng. At this point in the first phase of the battle, the advantages brought by the undeclared war have been taken advantage of, and the rest can only be a tough battle with real swords and guns!"
He picked up the tea but only took a sip, "Now, the northern area of Yongchang County has actually returned to Li County, but this ownership is still too weak. On the one hand, Meng Zian's elite lone army of tens of thousands has not yet fully
Withdrawing from the Northland is a huge variable. It is necessary for Lijun Qingqi to personally send them away. On the other hand, it is just a simple change of ownership of several large and small cities, which is far from control. We must make these three large cities
Countless people in the radiating cities and towns in all directions can quickly return home, or at least no more trouble will occur. First, they must all clearly understand the situation and let them know that Meng Zian's lone army can't change anything. The old man in Yongchang County
Even if we raise troops, nothing will change. If we want to do this, we can only rely on our Lijun Qingqi, so tomorrow we will leave the camp and march eastward, first to Tongcang and then to Zhengcang, until Meng Zian's lone army is confirmed
After returning south, we will go north back to Liangcang City and take a walk outside Ganshui Pass. Maybe we can have a good talk with Han Feng, our old friend in Ganshui Pass!"
The four people, including Luo Changgong, stood up in unison. Only Meng Xiaocheng, who was at the end of the line, was half a beat too slow to stand up or reply, which made him stand out.
Luochuan glanced at Meng Xiaocheng, who was a little embarrassed and said, "You can say whatever you want to say during the military tent meeting. If Xiaocheng has anything to say, just say it."
Meng Xiaocheng hesitated for a moment and then gave a military salute, "Master Taishou, I heard that the original grain stores in Liangcang City were burned down before the Northern Army of Yongchang County withdrew. Now Han Feng's garrison in Liangcang City is
Since Liangcang City will be my land of Lijun sooner or later, and the people will be my subjects of Lijun sooner or later, why not break the city as soon as possible to avoid Han Feng's defenders?
The harm?"
As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee and saluted. His voice was as sonorous as gold and iron clashing, "Your Excellency, my subordinates are willing to lead a thousand cavalry to assist General Zhao and issue a military order. If Liangcang City cannot be conquered within five days, I would like to
Return this head to the prefect!"
"Do you think that Zhao Wuji has an army of 30,000 troops but is unable to take down Liangcang City, which is guarded by Han Feng's stupid brother? It's not that he can't, but it's not time yet," Luo Chuan put down his tea cup and waved, which he threw on the table next to the map.
The wooden stick flew back into his hand. He used the wooden stick to mark the position of Liangcang City on the map, and then moved westward and landed on the Ganshui Pass line. "Needless to say, Liangcang City is captured. As long as Zhao Wuji is willing to let it go, the people in Liangcang City will be saved."
Han Feng's army might immediately withdraw to Ganshuiguan and hand over Liangcang City to Lijun, but why don't we do that? It's not that we are determined to wait for Mencius Anna to return to the south and fight Han Feng wholeheartedly, but to let him always control the country.
Part of the attention is focused on the east of Ganshuiguan!"
He drew a circle with his wooden stick to the west again, drawing a circle on the large land in southern Anling County. "At least until Chen Jingzhi captures half of the core passes in the southern part of Anling County, the core passes of Ganshui Pass will be supplied with food," he said.
All roads are cut off. At that time, not only Liangcang City, the Ganshui Pass line and even the entire southern part of Anling County will be in our hands. However, this strategy is dangerous, and there is a possibility of problems in any of the links.
It affects the overall situation, so we must secure the fruits of victory in the first stage, and we must also pave the way for victory in the second stage, and we must seize the strategic time that is non-renewable in the current situation. Not even a minute or a second every day of the week can
miss."
Meng Xiaocheng looked dumbfounded when he heard this, but then he woke up and quickly knelt down and saluted, "I am short-sighted, please forgive me, Lord Prefect."
Luo Chuan walked over and helped him up, then patted his shoulder hard and said, "You are thinking about the people of Liangcang City and you are also thinking about my future governance in Li County. It is good to have this kind of heart when leading the army."
, but you must not act on your own initiative, as the saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers."
Meng Xiaocheng bowed his head and said yes.
Luo Chuan waved his hand, "Let's get ready. Get some rest tonight and set off at dawn tomorrow morning."
The five people saluted again and then left.
When only Luo Chuan and four women were left in the tent, he reached out and handed the empty cup to Yin Hua and said, "Here, have another cup."
Hua Yu obediently took the cup and left.
Siqi leaned close to Luo Chuan and whispered, "Did letting Luo Changgong be the first military commander made others dissatisfied?"
Luo Chuan said, "There are many people in Li County who dare to be dissatisfied with your young master now, but it will never be just a few of them."
He raised the yellow stone he always held in his left hand to his eyes and turned it over several times before frowning and asking Qianxue, "You said this stone is a real treasure, but..." He looked at Qianxue's expression.
Somewhat cautiously, he asked, "Could I have made a mistake?!"
