Chapter two hundred and twenty fifth mending the prison
Because he had just experienced a fierce battle, his opponent even rampantly attacked the camp, which caused huge damage to the inside and outside of the camp, and many various marching facilities were damaged. The entire camp was basically in a mess. However, because it was already night, and the generals and soldiers were already extremely tired. Therefore, Xu Shiye could only arrange for some repairs to make food in the entire army. After entering the food, he lit a large bonfire in the camp and entered a state of rest.
There is no way. Since the temperature has reached a state of ice after nightfall, many of the various marching facilities have been damaged and have been completely repaired. After the replenishment, it still needs to wait until tomorrow's dawn before it can be carried out. Therefore, we can only temporarily ignite more bonfires to keep warm and try our best to deal with it for the whole night.
Originally, Xu Shiye did not need to deal with these daily military affairs personally on weekdays. However, because the military chief Ling Jing was too tired, even Chai Xiaohe, who seemed to be "catched" by Xu Shiye, could assist Ling Jing in handling daily affairs, was exhausted due to participating in the supervision of the war, so Xu Shiye had to reluctantly make appropriate arrangements and arrangements.
Considering that Su Dingfang was fighting for the first time, he had a very high tactical literacy and was worried that Su Dingfang would use the same trick again to "night attack and steal the camp", Xu Shiye also told Xiong Kuohai to command his command. Modao Camp, which did not have time to participate in the battle, was responsible for the night of the entire camp, and was careful not to attack at night...
After everything was arranged, Xu Shiye had to comfort and comfort the generals who fought a "coward war" and specifically thanked Chai Xiaohe, who was originally a "guest minister", for help, so he also went to rest on his own with a "burdened breath".
Xu Shiye, who felt a huge psychological gap because he had been calculating others since he went to the war, but this time he was plotted by others. When he returned to the marching tent, he was actually lying on the marching couch with his robe, and was unable to fall asleep for a while because of "suffering breath and being angry". For the first time, he felt very depressed and exhausted because of "the journey is long and the dawn is far away". He tossed and turned, and while thinking about it, he was also muttering and resentful:
"I not only have nowhere to vent my anger, but also have to pretend to be smiling and show my broad mind.... His grandma! I am just a 'super tank'! Su Dingfang, Su Dingfang, you, the little boy who was scolding Xiong Kuohai! How could I even let me eat it once? I don't think of a way to deal with you well in the future..."
Xu Shiye didn't think about how many years he was younger than Su Dingfang's "this little boy"!
....
In fact, human emotional changes require both the influence of external conditions and need to be self-regulated over time.
Now that perseverance has been tempered to be very tenacious, even he himself dared not imagine that "he can face countless living creatures in an extremely cold manner in front of his eyes instantly." After a night of self-mind adjustment, he had to forcibly dispel the haze that enveloped his mind after getting up the next morning, cheered up and devoted himself to the struggle to realize his own grand career...
Chai Xiaohe, who is also outstanding in terms of intelligence and ability, may have been mentally prepared to stay in Xu Shiye's army before coming. Therefore, he was able to stand up and appear in the supervision post that needed him when the camp was attacked. Moreover, after getting up the next morning, he was able to take the initiative and extremely busy to assist Ling Jing in handling the daily affairs of the army. This also made Xu Shiye feel deeply pleased that he did not recognize Chai Xiaohe's mistake and reached out to pull him.
With Ling Jing, Chai Xiao and these two meticulous and steady assistants to arrange the handling of many complicated matters after the war, Xu Shiye did not need to "stumble", so he continued to devote his energy to the next step of the war.
Time is tight and the weather is getting colder. In fact, it is not too far from the truce period, so it may be impossible to move troops in less than two months. Now Xu Shiye can be said to be anxious to take down Qinghe County, which is in front of him as soon as possible and speed up the process of advancing north.
However, if you are anxious, you can't eat hot tofu, and everything must be done step by step. What's more, Dou Jiande, who currently occupies Qinghe County, suddenly emerged with a superior military strategy and strong tactical literacy, which forced Xu Shiye to do it more carefully and cautiously.
One mistake can lead to wisdom. Considering that Su Dingfang was able to design a trick of "Day Day Attack Camp" that violated the conventional trick, he had to beware that he would use his usual skills to turn the spearhead and carry out the "grain interception operation". Therefore, because the various supplies in the army were damaged too much, he continued to replenish them. While sending a fast horse to Linqing and urged Wang Deren to transport various supplies and food to the army, he also specially wrote a letter to remind Wang Deren: Be strong and guard against enemy light cavalry, or sneak attacks by water.
Similarly, Su Dingfang's accident also made Xu Shiye feel depressed that he was "shotting himself in the foot". The ten-day truce agreement was originally proposed to Cao Dan in front of the formation. However, no matter how Xu Shiye thought, he felt as if he was deliberately giving Cao Dan ten days to hire reinforcements.
In fact, all the generals and assistants in the army now can understand it with their heels. The scheming Cao Dan probably never sent anyone to ask Dou Jiande for instructions. Even if he was sent, he was just informing the situation. Taking advantage of the truce in these few days (in fact, the war has not officially started), Cao Dan took the opportunity to send people to bring the surprise troops from Su Dingfang's troops.
Xu Shiye secretly estimated from Su Dingfang that Dou Jiande's troops were in the northeast of Qinghe City, less than a hundred miles away from Qinghe City. He has always been the anti-Sui heroes in Hebei who gathered in Gaojipo's nest. He must be another major general under Dou Jiande; that is, the adopted father who was appointed by Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang's leadership of the army to aid Cao Dan this time must have adhered to Gao Yaxian's military orders at Cao Dan's request.
From this point of view, when Xu Shiye first fought with Dou Jiande's troops, he was about to face two important generals who assisted Dou Jiande in establishing the so-called "Daxia Empire": Cao Dan and Gao Yaxian. These two were more cunning than the other, and both were "old foxes who became spirits" and were extremely difficult to deal with.
The severe situation before him also forced Xu Shiye to be more alert. He rushed to the tight defense of the camp, and Xu Shiye also increased the intensity of detecting horses and scouts to the greatest extent, and tried to prevent problems before they happened, so as not to repeat the same mistakes.
As for these extra-submissions, a large number of Xu Shiye entrusted Yang Shanhui to select the county soldiers under his command to serve as the county soldiers. Most of them were locals. Because they were well aware of the local geographical and terrain, they could naturally understand the various dynamics of Dou Jiande's troops at the first time. As for some of them, they needed to be made into ordinary people, it was inevitable.
After suffering a silence, although he could not immediately ask his opponent for a request, he had to at least understand how the loss was eaten and where the loophole was. If you want to understand clearly how Su Dingfang led his troops to emerge from the hilly areas behind him, you no longer have to send people to cross mountains and ridges to investigate. Xu Shiye had already had some understanding from Yang Shanhui.
According to what Yang Shanhui, who is the chief official of Qinghe, already knew something and asked his local indigenous county soldiers, he had already made a rough estimate:
It turns out that if you cross this rolling hilly area northwest, it is already the middle reaches of the place where the Zhang River flows. The end point of the Zhang River meets the Yongji Canal, the main road of the canal on the north bank of the Yellow River, is in the territory of Li County, a county in Xindu County. Therefore, the Zhang River, which originates in the Taihang Mountains, just along the way, crosses Qinghe City and Gaojipo in the middle with Yongji Canal. The Zhang River flows through the west side dozens of miles away from Qinghe City, and the Yongji Canal flows through the east side more than ten miles away from Qinghe City.
From this, it can be basically judged that Su Dingfang led his troops to start along the Zhang River from Gaojipo, bypass Qinghe City, and behind this rolling hilly area. Then he went ashore, began to cross the hilly area, and launched a sneak attack on the camp of Xu Shiye's troops from behind.
Afterwards, Xu Shiye sent people to investigate according to the estimated path and inquire about the locals on the shore of Zhangshui. It also confirmed that a large number of ships had docked the day before yesterday. Of course, these ships had already returned to the vicinity of Gaojipo.
Su Dingfang really spent a lot of effort to successfully attack! Don't blame the scout for not finding out in time. He had walked hundreds of miles of water and circled around a long way to get behind the hills. The strong dragon did not suppress the local snake, and the ancients did not deceive each other... Xu Shiye, who had been accurately confirmed before dusk the next day, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Similarly, it is impolite to come but not to go. While taking advantage of one's mistakes and gaining wisdom, Xu Shiye also began to prepare for the use of Cui's help to attack Qinghe City. Of course, the first thing to do is to select dozens of particularly strong and brave soldiers. These strokes also need to participate in the number of county soldiers under Yang Shanhui's command.
Since most of the hundreds of county soldiers under Yang Shanhui were locals in Qinghe and familiar with the local situation in Qinghe, they now seem to have become "treasures", and they need to participate in all matters. In this way, it seems that the hundreds of county soldiers of Yang Shanhui are still a little unresponsible...
