Chapter 523 Warning
Late at night, Wei Wensheng led the central army to the Matoushan Camp.
Wu Ben Lang General Dou Luxian hurried to report. The military information on the Mianchi line that the scouts found two days ago was basically accurate, and there were about three or four thousand rebels surrounding Mianchi.
"At present, the scout is inquiring about the area around Koshima Ancheng and Qianqiuting under the cover of night. It is estimated that news should be heard back before dawn." Dou Luxian looked tired, but his tone was relaxed. He could see that he was in a good mood and had an optimistic judgment on the current situation. "I thought Yang Xuangan would set up an ambush in Wu and even if he could not stop us, he would still disturb us. At the speed of our progress, he did not expect that he would not even see a figure along the way. It was still Ming Gong who knew Yang Xuangan. Before, Ming Gong had said that Yang Xuangan was not good at using troops, and he would not have thought of setting up an ambush in Wu and, indeed, he told Ming Gong."
Wei Wensheng's face was as deep as water. He stroked his long gray beard with one hand and gently tapped the table with the map with the other hand, turning a deaf ear to Dou Luxian's compliments.
Dou Luxian hesitated for a moment, and was about to ask about tomorrow's attack strategy, but heard Wei Wensheng speak, "Send a scout to the south bank of Gushui to take a look. This time, there will be two mountains and one water. The terrain will be steep. Once it is in a slump, the consequences will be serious."
Dou Luxian hurriedly agreed, but he disagreed with Wei Wensheng's concerns. "Yang Xuangan's rebellion was still short, and even if there were many responders, the number of troops was very limited. If he chose to fight us outside Hangu Pass, he would have to divide his troops into two groups, one by one, and one by the Hangu Pass, and the other by the siege of the Dongdu to restrain the Dongdu defenders. In this way, the decisive battle force would inevitably be insufficient. So if nothing unexpected happens, Yang Xuangan should put the decisive battle battlefield in Dongdu. In this way, in order to lure us into the Dongdu battlefield, Yang Xuangan would inevitably show that the enemy was weak. This way, as Ming Gong expected, he would be unobstructed."
"Don't underestimate your opponent. Yang Xuangan is not a dog slaughter. Since he dares to launch a mutiny, he must rely on something." Wei Wensheng warned, "If you don't worry about ten thousand, just be afraid of something, it's better to be careful."
Dou Luxian said repeatedly, "Will the selection army launch an attack on Mianchi early tomorrow morning?"
"Attack" Wei Wensheng waved his hand vigorously, "Since he decided to enter the Eastern Capital, he should sacrifice his life and move forward."
Wei Wensheng sent an order, and the generals of the army immediately came to the Central Army to discuss the plan for tomorrow's attack.
Late at night, in Yang Xuangan's tent, the generals gathered to listen to Li Mi telling Li Fengyun's specific suggestions for tomorrow's decisive battle.
Li Mi had already conveyed Li Fengyun's opinion to Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan thought for a long time and issued an order to discuss matters by the generals of the army, but never expressed his own opinion. This made Li Mi very nervous, not knowing what Yang Xuan felt.
In fact, Yang Xuangan was very angry. There was a primary and secondary cooperation between him and Li Fengyun. He was the primary and Li Fengyun was the secondary. Li Fengyun had a certain voice in military decision-making, but he had to obey him in the end. However, Li Fengyun has always used his own advantages to firmly control the development of the situation in Dongdu. He first captured Nanguo and looted the two cities, then asked the Korean Prime Minister to go to the Xingyang battlefield, and then transferred the decisive battlefield from Dongdu to Mianchi.
Now he is getting stronger and he wants Yang Xuangan to accept his decisive battle strategy. Although Li Fengyun's actions have never affected Yang Xuangan's interests and are even of great help to the mutiny alliance, Li Fengyun's superior strategy and aggressive aura, as well as the restraint and constraints of the mutiny alliance, Yang Xuangan feels frustrated, and even a little embarrassed, making him feel a sense of humiliation that Li Fengyun plays with in his palms.
Who is the boss here? Is it me or you, Li Fengyun? Why do I give in every time, and I listen to you? However, Yang Xuangan has to admit that Li Fengyun is indeed superior in strategy, especially in grasping the overall situation. Every move of Li Fengyun is just right, and Yang Xuangan can't find a reason to oppose it. This time, the same is true. After Li Mi explained Li Fengyun's decisive battle plan in detail, Yang Xuangan was secretly afraid. It was obvious that he and the staff and generals under the tent were all over the anger. Not only did he neglect and omit it in many key places, but he even made fatal mistakes in the judgment of the overall situation. Once these mistakes are caught by the opponent, the consequences will be unimaginable.
However, Li Fengyun's hand was too long, and this move was equivalent to making public Yang Xuangan's military decisions, which made Yang Xuangan unable to accept it. He felt that his dignity was insulted and his power was provoked. He could not convince himself to accept Li Fengyun's decisive battle plan, so he ordered the generals of the army to convene. If all the generals of the army were willing to accept Li Fengyun's decisive battle plan, he would make the last concession in order to win the victory of the decisive battle. Then the two parted ways, went their separate ways, and had no relationship with each other.
Li Fengyun's plan was impeccable. The generals of the army were silent, and everyone could clearly feel Yang Xuangan's true intention to let Li Mi explain this plan in public.
Those in the authorities are confused, those onlookers are clear, and Li Fengyun is actually also in the authorities, but why can he keep a clear mind? Because he was not overwhelmed by anger, and others, including Yang Xuangan himself, have fallen into the madness of revenge and revenge, and have lost their calmness and rationality. If this out-of-control mood cannot be suppressed quickly and if the generals of the army cannot quickly adjust their mentality, then the decisive battle will probably bring them not victory, but endless sadness and desperate despair.
In the depressed atmosphere, Hu Shidan coughed twice, breaking the silence in the commander's tent. "We always don't believe in white hair, worried that white hair would go back on its word and escape in the battle. From this point of view, we seem to have some misunderstandings about white hair. According to white hair, he surrounded Mianchi for the second time, cut off the retreat of the Xijing army, and attacked the Xijing army with us. In this way, he had to do his best, because if he wanted to return to Dongdu and if he wanted to evacuate the capital safely, he had to step on the body of the Xijing army to enter Hangu Pass east."
Speaking of this, Hu Shidan looked at the generals of the army and said, "In other words, from this moment on, we must not only believe in white hair, but also work together with white hair to fight this decisive battle and clear the biggest obstacle for our Xijing Guanzhong."
Mr. Hu made a clear position and immediately changed the decisive battle arrangements, using white-haired strategies to re-decisive battle arrangements.
The generals of the army were still silent, and no one agreed with Hu Shidan. Yang Xuangan's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, which made the generals at a loss and dared not express their opinions easily. After all, suddenly changing the plan was a blow to Yang Xuangan's prestige. Although Li Mi and Hu Shidan expressed their position one after another, the final decision was still in the hands of Yang Xuangan. If Yang Xuangan was stubborn and refused to adopt it, the plan of Bai Hai was ruined. At most, it would serve as a warning function, so that everyone would be cautious in the decisive battle and not be blindly impulsive for revenge.
At this moment, Yang Xuanting spoke, "Brother, Bai Hai's decisive strategy has many advantages. In order to ensure the victory of the decisive battle, we should learn from our strengths and weaknesses. As long as it is conducive to the decisive battle, we should adopt it."
"Brother, I also suggest adopting some white hair strategy, which will be more conducive to our annihilation of the Xijing army." Yang Jishan saw that Yang Xuanting was supporting and immediately followed closely.
The attitude of the Yang brothers immediately changed the tense atmosphere in the commander's tent. The generals of the army spoke one after another, most of them supporting the decisive battle with the strategy of white hair.
Yang Xuangan followed suit and quickly made a decision to "revise the decisive battle with a white hair plan."
On the morning of June 27, Cui Hongsheng, the Hebei ambassador to arrest, led his army to cross the Yongji Canal and marched rapidly from land to Jicheng, the capital of Ji County.
At the same time, the deputy of Zhuo County remained behind, and the general of Wu Ben Lang, Chen Ling, also led his army to leave Tangyin City, heading south along the road, and stride towards Jicheng, the capital of Ji County.
This is a decision made by Cui Hongsheng and Chen Len after leaving the King of Qi’s camp yesterday.
Yesterday, under the coercion of Zhou Fashang, King Qi had to make a promise to capture Liyang within three days and open up Yongji Canal. Then Zhou Fashang left in a hurry and followed the provincial order to rescue Dongdu. Cui Hongsheng and Chen Len were very passive. What should we do next? Continue to station troops in Huang and Tangyin to "monitor" King Qi? It seems unnecessary. After Zhou Fashang blocked the waterway of the river, King Qi could no longer enter Beijing and could only use the Grand Canal to cheat political interests to the greatest extent. Zhou Fashang's compromise with King Qi was to hand over the important task of supporting Xingyang to Dong Chun, who stayed in Pengcheng. In fact, he gave control of the Tongji Canal to King Qi, so that King Qi had enough "capital" to blackmail the Holy Lord.
Since Zhou Fashang had already arranged the future situation in Liyang, there was no need for Cui Hongsheng and Chen Len to continue to stay in the Liyang battlefield to offend the "King of Qi", so the two discussed and decided to rush to Jicheng, the capital of Ji County. One was away from the Liyang battlefield, maintaining a "safe" distance from the King of Qi, and showing their "cooperation" to the King of Qi, and the other was close to Henoi and Xingyang so that they could grasp the information of the capital in time, and maintain a high degree of tacit understanding with Zhou Fashang and the navy. As long as the situation was not good for Yang Xuangan and the people of Guanlong, as long as Zhou Fashang began to do his best to kill Xiangdongdu, they would follow up.
As for the province, because the Guanlong people controlled a large part of the decision-making power, the Shandong people and Jiangzuo people were always wary of the provincial orders. If their orders were not conducive to their own interests, they would be disobeyed. Now, among the commanders of various supportive army, Zhou Fashang is the most trusted and powerful, so Cui Hongsheng and Chen Len must of course follow their lead and follow them step by step to avoid making political mistakes. The province will also keep a close eye on Zhou Fashang and be cautious in everything.
On the same day, on the southern bank of the Great River, Dong Chun, the remaining troops in Pengcheng, led his army westward toward Xingyang.
At noon on June 27th, outside Lingquan City, upstream of the Huanshui River, Li Zixiong, Chen Rui, Han Yao and other senior executives of the alliance immediately received news that the Youzhou army left Tangyin City and headed south.
Without hesitation, Li Zixiong immediately made a suggestion and headed north quickly. Hao Xiaode and Liu Heita led their troops to the forefront. The Alliance General Administration and the Bailout Battalion were in the middle. Wang Bo and Huo Xiaohan led their troops to follow.
Chen Rui and Han Yao were very decisive and immediately issued an order to go north in the name of the General Administration, and asked the Taihang hero Wang Rende to take cameras on Tangyin and Anyang to attract the attention of the government. At the same time, asked another Taihang hero Yang Gongqing to move in front of Fuyang and Handan to move north quickly with the alliance army.
