Chapter 21 Boys and Girls
The troops and horses in the five towns in Hebei were divided into three groups to advance.
On the east road, more than 100,000 soldiers from Wei Bo, Chengde and Yiwu armies gathered in Wei County. According to Li Ye's arrangement, the purpose was to cross the Yellow River to support the Tianping Army.
The strategic goal of the first phase was to solve the problem of Yicheng Army in Huazhou, then join the Pinglu and Henghai armies, and follow up on the main force of the Xuanwu Army who invaded the three prefectures of Tianping.
In the middle road, more than 100,000 soldiers of the three armies of Wei Bo, Chengde and Yiwu gathered in the southwest of Weizhou to threaten the Heyang army on the other side of the Yellow River. If they could defeat the Heyang army, they could enter the Xuanwu army to govern Bianzhou from the flanks.
The West Road, Hedong Army and Zhaoyi Army formed the third line of troops and gathered in Qinzhou and Zezhou. On the one hand, they were guarding against Li Maozhen's Hezhong Army, and on the other hand, they were preparing to cross the river to attack the eastern capital Luoyang.
——Either seek to attack Bianzhou from the west of Xuanwu Army, or go directly to the south, capture the territory of Zhongwu Army in Xuzhou, and encircle Bianzhou with the main force in the direction of the balance.
After dealing with the farce of the generals and school of the three armies robbing grain, Li Ye convened the generals of the three armies to convene a simple military discussion in the Wei Bo Army camp outside Wei County.
Since he has come here, of course he has to provide some guidance on the army's actions so that the main generals of the three towns can see him.
Li Ye carried a long pole in the military tent, pointed to the military map hanging on the side, and explained the above military deployment, and returned to the position of commander and sat down again.
He smiled relaxedly and said, "Our goal along the way is to solve the problem of Yicheng Army in Huazhou. Yicheng Army has only two states, and there are not many soldiers and horses, which are roughly half of us, but the soldiers are not not brave."
"The Gu Wang's previous idea was to land in Puzhou and join forces with a group of Tianping Army to attack Huazhou. However, when Gu Wang was in Yunzhou, he received news that Yicheng Army gathered in Weinan County, close to Puzhou, and sent a large number of scouts into Puzhou. The intention was obvious - to intercept us to cross the river and land, or even attack them halfway."
His eyes swept around the generals' faces and asked, "What do you think we should do next?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuanqing, the governor of Chengde Army, stood up suddenly.
Chen Yuanqing's movements were suddenly and swift, causing the generals next to him to jump away in fear.
Chen Yuanqing clasped his fists and said loudly: "What's the point of just Yi Cheng's army? Cheng German army is please be the vanguard of the army and take the lead in crossing the river and landing on the shore!"
Before Li Ye could make a statement, Xie Yi, the governor of Wei Bo Army, stood up, "My Wei Bo Army is fighting in this town. How can the vanguard work like this hard work for the German army?"
As he said that, he clasped his fists at Li Ye: "Your Highness, my Wei Bojun and Yicheng Army have been confronting each other for a long time. This time, the vanguard's mission to cross the river is required to hand over to the General of the Last Highness. If the matter fails, the General of the Last Highness is willing to come and see him!"
Li Ye smiled but said nothing.
The statements of these two people are not just shouting and killing, after all, they are fighting for the specific vanguard position. What the vanguard has to face is destined to be a dangerous landing battle.
Wang Rong, the governor of the Yiwu Army, blushed when he saw Chen Yuanqing and Xie Yi's arguing, and did not take him seriously at all, and suddenly felt embarrassed and felt that he was being looked down upon.
He immediately stood up and fisted at Li Ye and said, "Your Highness, Chen Shuai and Xie Shuai are busy arguing. I guess there is no time to think about the strategy against the enemy. How about this vanguard's heavy responsibility be given to the Yiwu Army? To be honest, the last general has been studying the Yicheng army for a long time, and this battle will definitely be a complete victory!"
When Chen Yuanqing and Xie Yi saw that Wang Rong took the opportunity to make small moves, they all said that the other party was a villain.
Li Ye shook his head and sighed, feeling a little distressed in his heart.
There is naturally a reason why the three towns are eager to fight: Shangguan Qingcheng's victory in the wrongful words has already been passed to Wei County this morning.
Li Ye thought to himself: "Wei Bo's army has local advantages and the strongest combat power, but the Chengde army and the Yiwu army have not fought with me yet. They need to give them a chance to perform...who should I choose?"
The tent became more and more lively. When Chen Yuanqing, Wang Rong and Xie Yi were fighting together, the generals of the three towns could no longer sit still and stood up and screamed. There were many words in the middle that belittled the other party and raised them, and soon filled with gunpowder.
Many generals have wide eyes and their voices are getting louder and louder. If they cannot control their cultivation power, they will tend to overturn the top of their accounts.
Li Ye was a little impatient with the quarrel and slapped the table: "What's the quarrel? Everyone wants to be the first one, right? Simple, your three armies will send their elite troops, each of them will choose a landing place, whether they land in Puzhou, or directly enter Huazhou, and act at the same time. Whoever defeats the Yicheng army who intercepts them first will be the vanguard's military achievements!"
The generals were stunned at first, but they didn't expect Li Ye to say this. It seems a bit irresponsible?
Chen Yuanqing, Wang Rong, and Xie Yi were soon overjoyed, and looked at Li Ye nervously and said hurriedly: "Your Highness is serious?"
The three of them thought it very clearly that the Yicheng Army in Huazhou had only 70,000 or 80,000 troops. If the three towns attacked at the same time, the other party would definitely be in a hurry to deal with it. Moreover, sending troops like this would be a surprise strategy, not to mention that the Tianping Army would definitely support it at that time, which is foolproof.
After all, there is a gap in strength between the two sides, so they don’t need to worry too much.
Li Ye stood up and said, "Jun Wuwu jokes, that's it!"
Chen Yuanqing, Wang Rong, and Xie Yi quickly clasped their fists: "The last general should obey the general's order!"
After saying that, they looked at each other, and they were all eyeing each other.
The three of them snorted coldly and said to themselves: "After making a vanguard's military merit, you will take the magic weapon given by your highness firmly!"
......
Li Ye did not intend to stay in Wei County for a long time. He came over and took a look, summoned the generals to meet and guide the next action, and he could go back. After all, Shangguan Qingcheng defeated Zhu Yin, and the next action of the main force of the Lu army still needed to be decided based on the changes in the enemy's situation.
The distance between Caozhou and Wei County is not too far, and it takes him no longer than an hour to go back and forth.
Before leaving Wei County, Li Ye called Zhang Wence and promoted him to the deputy envoy of the northern Central Plains to the north of the Central Plains, the transfer of grain, fodder and supplies, etc., so that he could better use his talents.
Back in the territory of Tianping, Li Ye went straight to Yinju County.
Langya and 20,000 infantry and cavalry as vanguards, achieved a great victory over Zhu Yin's troops of Xuanwu Army. Li Ye felt that he should go to express his condolences.
This can boost morale more effectively and make other vassal troops realize that Li Ye pays close attention to the combat situation of each unit. This time, a million troops were divided into different positions. Li Ye's move can inspire those troops who were far away from him to fight harder.
When Li Ye came to Yinju County, the first thing he saw was the camp outside the city. The Pinglu army had 20,000 infantry and cavalry, 8,000 wolf-fangs, and 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses supported by Caozhou. In addition to the original Yinju County defenders, there were more than 60,000 troops.
Subsequently, the main force of the Pinglu Army, the main force of the Tianping Army and the Henghai Army were on the way.
It was not yet noon, and there were not many soldiers in the Wolf Fang Army camp. Except for the teams on duty and patrol, there were almost no figures. The ocean made of white military tents looked particularly quiet.
Although the battle was not anxious yesterday, the pursuit continued for most of the night. After the soldiers withdrew their troops, it was almost dawn. The soldiers who fought for a long time built a camp and had just fallen asleep after dinner.
However, on a school ground, Li Ye saw two soldiers practicing.
They were agile and were so fast that ordinary people could not see it. The battle situation was very fierce. Circles of spiritual waves sometimes dispersed and sometimes gathered into a wind rising and explosion.
If it weren't for seeing this battle on the school ground and just observing the fierceness of the battle, Li Ye would have thought that these two people had an irreconcilable hatred.
Li Ye fell on the general stage and watched the two of them practiced with interest. A smile soon appeared on the corner of his mouth. From time to time, he would also give some advice to guide their combat skills.
The two of them had a very high understanding and could understand it at one point. Whoever Li Ye guided him would soon gain the upper hand.
Not long after, Li Ye smiled and said, "Although these two little guys' realm has not improved very quickly, their combat skills have become more and more refined. At this point, ordinary real-life cultivators cannot gain any advantage."
He said this without any thought, as if he was talking to the air in front of him.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone behind his back took over the conversation: "When Liu Xiaohei and Riwen entered Prince An's Mansion, they had not achieved success in practicing Qi. It has only been five or six years now, and they have reached the high level of practicing Qi. That is, your highness can say that their realm is not improving quickly."
The person who spoke was not someone else, but Shangguan Qingcheng. She had come behind Li Ye at some time, standing with her armor and a knife, like a guard.
Li Ye laughed: "Liu Xiaohei is stronger than Liu Dazheng's talent. Riven is comparing with Li Zhen... There is really no comparison. One is going to be a military strategist, and the other is a Confucian scholar. But from my perspective, Riven is also a military strategist?"
When Liu Dazheng was living in seclusion and making a blacksmith, Liu Xiaohei followed him. When Li Zhen met Riven on the streets of Chang'an, he was so depressed that he had no place to settle down.
The young girls of the past are still young girls now. They are all only twelve or thirteen years old.
Shangguan Qingcheng raised his red lips and made a knowing smile, although there was no smile on her face: "General Song asked me for someone a few days ago and wanted to take Riven back. The leader said that she had trained Riven for five or six years, and she was not going to send her to the army."
Li Ye waved his hand, "I won't interfere with this matter, you can just make a fuss about it yourself... Your military newspaper said that you captured Zhu Yin. What's his current situation? I plan to see him."
As a military general, Li Ye tried to instigate him.
"I was injured, but it was not a big deal. I'll take him here."
"No, I'll go over and see him."
After a while, Li Ye came to a heavily guarded military tent and saw the first brave general under Zhu Wen. The other party was sitting cross-legged on Hu's bed, and there was wine and food on the desk in front of him.
After Shangguan Qingcheng captured Zhu Yin, he did not tie the other party up, but treated him with courtesy. Although he was in good condition, he ordered others not to disturb him for no reason.
This includes the complex of Shangguan Qingcheng cherishing heroes, and the reason why she knows that Li Ye cherishes good talents.
Li Ye glanced at the wine and food on the table... Zhu Yin did not eat it. It seemed that the other party had a strong temper, and even if he lost the battle, he was still in good integrity.
"It is not easy to surrender such a general." Li Ye thought.
