Chapter [-] - The Barbarian's Ambition Planned by Jia Yun, King Yu Missed and Liao Hui Sighed

The hot season is coming to an end, the autumn tiger holds the scorching air in its mouth, and wants to deal the last blow to the people under the sky, the earth is scalding.

The soldiers in the Red Armored Army Battalion were also inevitably tired. They went to the stream to scoop a basin of water and poured it on their bodies during training intervals. The shirtless men were sweating profusely in the sun, and they still carried out daily riding and shooting and fighting exercises.

Liao Hui recuperated in bed for more than two months. Several major injuries on his body gradually healed, leaving scars after the bandages were removed.

He walked into the commander's tent, Jia Yun was still talking to Tang Lan on the seat, saw Liao Hui coming in, and asked, "General Liao, how is your injury?"

Liao Hui sat on the side and said, "It's almost there, ready to go to the battlefield at any time."

Jia Yun smiled lightly: "There is no rush to go to the battlefield, it will take some time."

Liao Hui said anxiously: "Admiral, I heard that we have been standing still for the past two months. Why don't we take the initiative to take back Tongzhou at this time?"

Jia Yun shook his head: "At this time, going to the battlefield consumes a lot of energy. After the autumn tiger passes, the weather will cool down. But at this point in time, I can't think about the next step."

Liao Hui stared: "This Tongzhou has been in the hands of barbarians for so long, we can only watch? Which soldier is too hot on the battlefield, I will cut him down first!"

Jia Yun sighed: "Liao Hui, please be safe and don't be impatient. After all, the Tongluan area belongs to the southern border, and the climate is unbearably hot and humid. Even if we attack hard at this time, it will be our own soldiers that will be damaged. Even barbarians will not choose to send troops at this time. What's more, the barbarians have lived in the south for a long time, and their ability to withstand humidity and heat is much better than ours."

Liao Hui didn't get angry in one place, and it's not easy to get angry directly.

Tang Lan, who was standing next to him, continued: "The admiral is right. Even if we are clamoring outside the city at this time, the barbarians will stay behind closed doors. It will be a waste of time. We need to wait a few days before planning."

Liao Hui was already dissatisfied with Tang Lan. Seeing that the two of them were leisurely and leisurely, without the sense of urgency that the army was about to arrive, the pain on his body was about to explode at the same time. He tried his best to calm down his tone and said in a suppressed way: "Then The admiral may have a plan for the next step."

Jia Yun also didn't answer directly, and said impersonally: "I have my own arrangements for this battle, General Liao just waits for the notice."

Seeing Jia Yun's vague answer again, Liao Hui left in a huff, lifted the curtain and left the tent.

Jia Yun watched him leave the tent, and also sighed.

Tang Lan asked from the side: "Why is the admiral telling the truth about the next strategy?"

Jia Yun narrowed his eyes and said: "This battle... the arrangement of this battle has not been fully determined yet, let's take it one step at a time. But when we rise up, the barbarians will make moves, so we have to make plans early. "

Tang Lan nodded.

Jia Yun asked again: "How about the route I asked you to explore a few days ago?"

Tang Lan said: "In the past half a month, I have brought a small team of people around the hills from the south of Tongzhou for a long time. Finally, my hard work paid off. I managed to defend the barbarian's grain transport troops and figured out their route."

He pointed to the map, Luanzhou was close to Fucheng County in the East Road, and Tongzhou was located at the junction of Nanman and Yan Kingdom, with a line of hills and forests extending from the Mengshan Mountains in the middle.

He drew a curved arc with his hand, and replied: "The barbarian army's food transport troops did not walk from the outer mountain road, but walked around the mountain from the inside of the middle mountain. It seems that they also deliberately concealed the marching route."

Jia Yun looked at where his hand was pointing, and said, "Haven't you been discovered?"

Tang Lan replied: "Only a few dozen troops were specially brought along. There are many hidden places in the mountains and forests, and they have never been exposed."

"Okay," Jia Yun nodded, "Don't startle the enemy for now, let's try to defeat the barbarian army within this time difference."

Tang Lan nodded thoughtfully.

Jia Yundao: "Fu Xuan thought that by occupying Tongzhou and using Luanzhou as a frontier to establish a connection with the northern land, he wanted to open the entrance of the entire Yandi. His ambition is not small. What we need to grasp is also the vacancy of his doing so. When the food is cut off in one fell swoop when preparing to attack, then the time difference will be staggered, and his food road will be cut off. He can only go out of the city to fight. We will deploy troops at several exits from the city, so that he will not be afraid of him running away. After all, it is still on our territory , he won't be rampant for a long time."

Tang Lan said: "What if they send reinforcements again?"

Jia Yun replied: "It's enough for us to set up an army for defense. At most, they can attack from both sides. Let's not say that the troops are sufficient. If we only fight in the local area, we will be much better. The specific strategy depends on the situation."

Tang Lan said again: "By the way, Admiral, speaking of this matter, the more than 1 sandbags you prepared earlier are all ready, and you can block the upper reaches of the Jin River at any time."

Jia Yunsi and the soldiers who were drowned before suddenly became sad, and said: "The barbarian army killed my soldiers before, and this time I will also give the barbarian army a 'return him in the same way'. Even if the food is cut off for a while, But this water cut off will force him to open the city to fight!"

Seeing Jia Yun's rare indignation, Tang Lan also said worriedly: "Just such a blockade, the upper reaches of the Jin River, which was originally in the flood season, will flood even more. What if the city residents on both sides?"

"I have been thinking about this issue for the past few days. For the time being, I will first inform the sheriffs and magistrates of nearby border cities to transfer all the city to another city for temporary settlement," Jia Yun said, "It is better to block it than to block it. It is better to take a risk and try to find a way to get rid of it." It leads to the mountain road in the south, and when the reinforcements of the barbarians are brought over, it will also be defeated."

Tang Lan frowned: "Is this method too risky?"

Jia Yundao: "We can only play by ear. At that time, the food will be cut off first, and then the water will be cut off after the news of the barbarian army comes out. We will lead the barbarian army out of Tongzhou City and flood them with flood water. Fu Xuan will definitely send reinforcements when he gets the news. The time difference between the two parties needs to be left to God’s will.”

Tang Lan praised: "The admiral is thoughtful."

"It's not comprehensive at all," Jia Yun sighed, "The battlefield changes rapidly, and the best strategy is to be able to change according to the situation."

Before Tang Lan could answer, Jia Yun said in a low voice, "Don't announce the above plan to the whole army for the time being."

"Why?"

Jia Yundao: "The plan is subject to change at any time, there is no need to say it too early, which will make the generals in the army vacillate."

Tang Lan responded.

Jia Yun raised his head and looked at the young man. After staying in the Chijia Barracks for a while, he was not as flamboyant as he was at the beginning, and his words and actions were as serious as those of the soldiers who had been in the camp for many years.

If it weren't for the many wounded and killed veterans in this battle, he also lost the opportunity to communicate with these new recruits in detail.

Seeing Jia Yun looking at her, Tang Lan asked, "Admiral, what's wrong?"

Jia Yun shook his head lightly, and said: "I feel that you are much more stable than when you first entered the camp. The other lieutenants were quite critical when you were recruited, but now it looks good."

Tang Lan lowered her head and smiled, as if a little embarrassed: "Thank you admiral for your kindness, but the qualifications of the bidder are still young, and I feel a little flattered by the bidder to do some things."

Jia Yun said: "You are doing very well now, you don't need to think about anything else. The lieutenants are not fully injured. Although you are new to the camp this year, you have always been capable in the army. As long as you do well, you will be able to convince the masses. "

Tang Lan said again: "Biao Xia entered the camp with Fu Chen at the beginning. He was brothers with him when he was in Gyeonggi. I learned a lot from him. It's a pity..."

Jia Yun also sighed: "I was also optimistic about this kid. I have rarely seen his kung fu strength in many years. His basic skills are also good, and he is also low-key. He still remembers his skills in the Maocheng battle... The same goes for Liao Hui, the newly formed Qingqi didn't expect this battle to be rushed, but half of it was here."

Tang Lan said in a low voice: "It's a pity that the specialties under the bid are different from those of Zijie, so I can't share the admiral's worries here."

Jia Yun frowned and said: "If this battle is successfully concluded, the soldiers will still be liquidated, and there will be some transfers at that time. If you want to transfer to other troops, as long as the generals of both sides agree, that's all right."

"Understand it."

Jia Yun glanced at him and said, "Are you determined to fulfill Fu Chen's responsibility?"

Tang Lan nodded slightly and remained silent.Jia Yun admired his friendship and felt pity for many soldiers who died in this battle, saying: "If he knows, he will be very happy."

When Liao Hui returned to the account, he was still full of anger. He had nowhere to vent his anger and was restless.Wei Xu sent replacement wound medicine at this time.

Seeing Liao Hui coming back, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "General, can we still fight this battle now?"

Hearing his question, Liao Hui became angry again: "Fight! Tell all the cavalry now! Come out of the camp with me and attack Tongzhou now!"

Unexpectedly, someone as rough as Wei Xu could see that he was speaking angry at this time, so he said: "General, there is no military order from the admiral up to now to say that there will be a war. Have you gone over to ask about countermeasures?"

"Countermeasure?" Liao Hui snorted coldly, "The countermeasure is that he is afraid that the soldiers will find it too hot, so he wants to cool down here together!"

Wei Xu frowned: "What do you mean! No more wars? No more Yancheng?!"

Liao Hui sneered and said: "Oh! This general has long been disgusted with that eunuch! I didn't say much about the inconvenience in the army before. His slavish and sissy style can't be brought into the army at all! His Highness is not here, sooner or later the army I'm going to be overwhelmed by him!"

Wei Xu was also displeased when he heard the words, so he remained silent.

After a long time, Liao Hui gradually calmed down, and suddenly frowned and asked, "By the way, where is Your Highness? After sending troops to search for so long, why is there still no news?"

Wei Xu continued: "It's strange to say that this happened. The several waves of soldiers sent earlier went to search at the foot of Mengshan Mountain, but they all disappeared one after another. Mengshan is remote and difficult to travel. According to several soldiers, there There is a valley that happens to be called 'Death Valley', and anyone who enters it can't get out, it seems that it was eaten by some mountain ghost?"

"Fucking mountain ghost!" Liao Hui disdainfully said, "You guys are so idle when you're not fighting, and you still have the time to make up old-fashioned stories like this, I think I'd better go there myself."

"Forget it," Wei Xu pouted, his rough face showing helplessness and depression, "The dozens of soldiers sent by Vice General Lin before have disappeared, and Vice General Lin dared not send anyone to search and rescue them, so we just let it go. Brothers are also strictly prohibited from going there. A few days ago, I just sneaked there in disbelief, but halfway I was spotted by the patrolling brothers, and I was escorted back.”

"Where is Jia Yun!" Liao Hui called his name without hesitation, and said, "He has been attached to His Highness for so many years, and he just stood by and ignored him?!"

Wei Xu said: "Admiral Jia was also furious at the beginning, and the brothers who had no choice but to send in disappeared one by one. Originally, the army was panicked because of the defeat, and now because of this incident, people were killed and went in. He didn't dare to take the risk again Send troops..."

"Hey," Liao Hui was discouraged, looking weakly at the old gray tent roof, and said, "What kind of shit is this!"

Wei Xu lowered his eyes and said: "After more than two months, His Highness has difficulty in traveling, and the mountain environment is dangerous. Even if he survived by chance at that time, but now... there should be no possibility of surviving."

Liao Hui rested on his back on the bed, closed his eyes with his hands, and said slowly in a deep voice: "It's my fault... When I saw the reinforcements coming, I should have told them to go search for His Highness immediately... What's the matter with the delay... Can't do it."

Sitting aside, Wei Xu said shamelessly, "At that time, His Highness came down suddenly, and the team I led was only focused on dealing with the barbarians, and didn't pay attention to the situation over there."

The two didn't speak for a long time.

When Tang Lan came out of Jia Yun's tent, he went straight to the training ground. He skillfully picked up a bow and arrow and shot it towards the bull's-eye in the distance.

Under the scorching sun, he is one of the few well-dressed people.Most of the soldiers were topless, or their clothes were open, but even this was soaked in sweat.Tang Lan was the only one. Although beads of sweat hung on his forehead and the tip of his nose, he was still neatly wearing his usual crow-blue military uniform, with the buttons intact.

"Hey! Tang Lan," a soldier practicing bow and arrow next to him also greeted him, Tang Lan turned his head, and recognized that this man was also selected by the Gyeonggi Auxiliary Army back then, but he lost to him in the martial arts contest later, and he often felt resentful. In recent days, there have been frequent provocations.

The soldier sarcastically said, "Why are you wearing so many clothes? You're not a big girl, don't you think it's too hot?"

Tang Lan bent her peachy eyes at him indifferently, and had no intention of entangled with him: "I am willing! Can you control it?"

Seeing that he was smiling instead of angry, the soldier was not affected by his agitation at all, and he still had the same playful smile as before, so he also found it boring, so he turned aside and continued to practice.

Tang Lan's smile didn't fade away, and the focus of her eyes turned to the bull's-eye in the distance.

Open the bow, hold the circle, and release the arrow.

Hit the target in one fell swoop.
