Chapter 42 Missed
Shortly after Mang Mao left, Lord Xinling received an order from the camp for urgent discussions. Lord Xinling handed over the military affairs of the small town to the military commander of the Military Academy for temporary management, and rushed to the abandoned city with his retainers.
Only the generals of the three armies attended the meeting, and they were also the left wing guards of each army. Except for them, the other generals did not attend the meeting. The chief generals of the three armies all reported that the sentinels they sent did not find the Qin army, and
The lookout post found warning signs and smoke from the south.
Jin Bi concluded: "At present, the Qin army has left our army without anyone noticing and has entered the southern end of the Great Wall. It is close to Han and Zheng. What do you think the generals will do next?"
The former army leader said: "We were tricked by the Qin people! We were fully prepared to fight the Qin army, but he went south, leaving me useless."
The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army said: "We did not come here for the Qin army. The Qin army left me. We just happened to continue marching northward to attack the city and seize the territory. We don't have to die here."
The leader of the rear army said: "In my opinion, where should we go to attack?"
The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army said: "Of course, according to the original plan, we will cross the Yellow River north to attack Hanoi and Nanyang."
The leader of the rear army said: "Each army only prepares ten days of food. Now four days have passed. It will take four days to enter Nanyang. Can we get down to the city with only two days left?"
The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army said: "What do you think I should do?"
The commander-in-chief of the rear army said: "I haven't made a decision yet, but I'm just reminding me that we only have six days of food left. No matter what, we must make a decision within six days!"
The former army general said: "Another plan is to raise the camp and directly attack the Qin army's back. We can reach it in two days by traveling both ways. When we arrive, we will feed the soldiers and attack them with a drum."
The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army said: "The enemy is on the battlefield first, and I will march at the same time, so that the enemy can escape and I will work hard; when the enemy arrives, we will attack him and use our exhausted troops to fight against the strong Qin. Without a plan, the number of success or failure has been determined!"
Jin Bi turned his head to Lord Xinling: "What do you think, Young Master?"
Lord Xinling said: "Our army is currently in a defensive posture. If we want to move south, we need to switch to an offensive posture. Therefore, if we are determined to move south, we must not go too fast. We will make a plan early in the morning. Each of the three armies will advance slowly in order. In this way, the three armies will move forward slowly.
Only by engaging the enemy in four days can we have success."
Jin Bi said: "Young Master is smart! I will report to the king urgently with military envoys, patrol the Qin army and plan the battle formation. Once the king's order is given, I will send out troops! Now I should strictly organize the army, dig deep ditches and high bases, and scold the princes from a distance.
Just in case something unexpected happens. What do you think, Master?"
Lord Xinling could only say: "I can't match the old doctor's tricks!"
Jin Bi followed up and said: "The armies are setting up camp in the same place today and only half-eating. Tomorrow they will follow orders and move!"
All the generals bowed and retreated. Lord Xinling was left in the camp by Jin Bi and said: "I would like to see the report and consider it carefully!" Lord Xinling read the report and said "good". Jin Bi granted him the title
Okay, give it to the military envoy and report back to Daliang as soon as possible.
Lord Xinling said: "Everything about the camp depends entirely on the officials. I will go back to the small town to set up the formation."
Jin Bi said: "There is nothing important happening in the small town now. My son can sleep in the camp, why bother to risk his life!"
Lord Xinling said: "When I came, things in the camp were not arranged. I have something to do tomorrow, and it's hard to get everything done in a hurry. Besides, I'm young and don't have much to do, so I can handle it in detail."
Jin Bi said: "In this case, I hope you will cherish your precious body and not stand under a dangerous wall!"
Lord Xinling said: "Please take care of me! Oh, where is Mr. Zhang Noi? Please come and see me!"
Jin Bi said: "Mr. Zhang can do a lot of hard work. He is currently busy with military affairs in each camp and is not in the camp. If you want to see me, please wait a moment. I will send someone to come!"
Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Zhang is busy with military affairs and does not need to work. I have nothing important to do, so I will resign here!"
After Lord Xinling left the camp, he drove back to the small town, with Zhong Yue on the right. Lord Xinling briefly introduced the situation discussed in the tent and Jin Bi's decision. Zhong Yue said: "The king is the most important person in the Jin Dynasty."
, as for fighter planes, they come second.”
Lord Xinling said: "The king's order may not arrive until tomorrow, and it will be a waste of two days."
Zhong Yue said: "Your Majesty, what is the king's order?"
Lord Xinling said: "This is difficult to discuss. I dare to hear your opinion, sir!"
Zhong Yue said: "The king's orders never come from General Mang's will. Isn't it just a false name to be the mastermind?"
Lord Xinling said: "General Mang intends to stick to the spot and echo the distant beams."
Zhong Yue said: "This place is a hundred miles away from Daliang. How can we respond to the urgent situation? If we want to respond to Daliang, our army should retreat to the center of the confinement, but the king will not take it."
Lord Xinling said: "Why?"
Zhong Yue said: "One hundred thousand hungry people are trapped near Daliang City, and the king is not satisfied with the food!"
Lord Xinling said: "General Mang also said that if a hundred thousand civilian troops enter the Great Wall, they may become elbows and armpits, especially the Qin army."
"In this way, an army of 100,000 people is left in a useless place, and its food is exhausted." Zhong Yue sighed.
Lord Xinling said: "In my opinion, sir, what should I do?"
Zhong Yue said: "The behavior of the Qin army this time is different from usual. Their whereabouts are mysterious. It is very different from the heroic killings of Marquis Rang and Lord Wu An. The leader must be someone else."
Lord Xinling said: "Did the Qin army get another tiger general? Marquis Rang and Lord Wu'an have already changed the mood of the world. If there is another one, how can the world be safe?"
Zhongyue said: "Marquis Rang and Lord Wu'an only kill and attack, so there is nothing to fear. If someone makes them act rashly, the world will be in danger!"
Lord Xinling said: "In this case, what should I do?"
Zhong Yue said: "Mr. Cao led the brave and capable soldiers as the vanguard, but the Qin army has gone, so Mr. Cao has done nothing. Mr. Jin is good at terrain, and it is useless to teach the people's army to dig deep ditches and build high bases at the moment!
If we can send Mr. Cao Jin Er to lead the elite soldiers to the Qin army again, and report back from time to time, then we can adopt strategies according to Qin's movements. The most important thing at this time is not to lose Qin's traces again."
Lord Xinling said: "It's already sunset, the two gentlemen will return to the camp soon. We will go back to the camp to meet with the two gentlemen and then talk."
Not long after, the chariot drove out of the camp and moved to the defense area where the small city was located. Lord Xinling saw groups of civilian soldiers digging trenches and walls outside the ditch, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart: These
People don't know that everything they do may be in vain, the enemy is far away, and the battle they rely on to support their families is no longer foreseeable.
"If the army is dispersed just like this..." Lord Xinling thought so in his mind, but he quickly denied it. With a big war imminent, how could the army be dispersed? What's more, after the army was dispersed, these people would have neither merit nor punishment.
How to deal with it? Just say, there is no more fighting, let’s disperse! That would not be a joke! But if the army does not disperse, how can this army be maintained, and how long will it be maintained?
With this thought in his mind, the chariot had already arrived near the trench. Lord Xinling said almost instinctively: "Stop!" The chariot stopped. Lord Xinling jumped out of the car and walked towards the militiamen who were under construction.
The militiamen who were building the wall first saw a group of people approaching them, and were at a loss for a moment. Fortunately, a nearby elder had some insight and knew that the people coming were not ordinary people, so he quickly ran over and bowed and saluted: "Welcome to you, Mr. Xinling!". Xinling
Jun returned the courtesy and said: "Father, you are polite!" Then he approached the elder and asked, "Where is my hometown?"
The elder said with sincerity and fear: "Young old man, I will settle down in Xinyangli, Humo Township."
"How many senior neighbors are here?"
"All the young and strong people here are here!"
"Are these all neighbors here?"
