When Shi Shi informed the whole army and recognized Shaodian Yong as the king of Shaodian Kingdom, Chen Chao no longer recognized the commander of the army. He secretly contacted the division commander who was familiar with him to discuss leaving the army station and find a way to contact the commander.
Mansion.
Especially recently, Chen Chao has been in frequent contact with several division commanders. They have drafted a rough action plan and plan to take action in the next few days.
Suddenly hearing someone reporting to the legion headquarters, Chen Chao was worried that the planned operation would fail, resulting in an unexpected incident for a large number of patriotic officers and soldiers.
"Is there a spy within us? Who betrayed us?"
"Yinghua." Luo Yong spit out two words.
"It's him!" Chen Chao's eyes showed surprise, "The staff officer of the 64th Division, because Fei Qing trusted him so much, betrayed us! I'm going to kill him right now." After saying that, he walked towards the weapons rack.
"Haha, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say. Yinghua is a staff officer. If he reports to the headquarters, he will be the first to come to me. After listening to his statement, I pretended to be overjoyed and held a banquet for him in my camp.
Drinking wine, deliberately keeping him drunk, and then arranged for the guards to take him out of the camp, found a secluded place, and sank him to the bottom of the Baitan River."
After hearing this, Chen Chao let go of his hand on the hilt of the sword, walked to the guest seat and sat down, and said, "Sir, don't scare the general. Please make it clear earlier."
"Hahaha, you are too impatient. I am here to make it clear. Also, don't be an adult, a general, or anything like that. From the moment the Seventh Army announced its rebellion, you and I have settled matters.
You are no longer a member of the Seventh Legion. There are many more men and horses following your orders than mine. Maybe I will have to call you my lord in the future."
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Your official position is above that of the junior general. When the commander-in-chief rebuilds the Seventh Army, you will definitely still be the commander of the junior general."
Chen Chao is a general officer, while Luo Yong is the chief of staff at the deputy commander level. There is a big difference in their official positions.
"No! We are on equal terms. I am a few years older than you, so I can barely be your elder brother." Luo Yong stretched out his hand to stop Chen Chao who was about to speak, "That's it. If you refuse any more, you are looking down on me.
Brother Chen!"
"Here, then, then, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful. Brother Luo's strategy is superior to that of me. We hope you can give us some advice on how to escape from the base."
"Yinghua said that your 62nd, 64th, 65th, 66th and 67th divisions have colluded and plan to leave their bases together and defect to the imperial court. However, I don't know the specific situation yet. Please tell me and we will look into the details together."
At this time, Chen Chao did not hesitate, believing that Luo Yong would not deceive him and tell the truth about his original plan.
After Luo Yong listened, he crossed his arms and walked around the tent. Chen Chao knew that this habit of his was because he was thinking seriously about the problem.
"No, the north side of the west bank of Baitan River is mountainous and the road is rugged and difficult to navigate. When Shishi reacts, he will definitely have time to catch up from the east bank. As long as they block our way to the east, sooner or later we will be in a situation where our food and grass are cut off."
Luo Yong did not agree with Chen Chao's original plan.
"I can lead the 62nd Division to hold them back." Chen Chao showed determination.
"No need! Haven't you ever thought about knocking on the headquarters camp?" Luo Yong rummaged around on the shelf where the maps were stored.
"Impossible! Not to mention that the headquarters camp has deep ditches and high fortresses that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even the ferry guarded by the 70th Division cannot be easily passed. We will suffer great losses by doing so. It is better to sacrifice my division." Obviously.
Chen Chao considered this plan.
"There is no need to storm the ferry. Five miles south of this place is suitable for crossing the river lightly. I also know a small road that leads directly to the back of the 70th Division." Luo Yong pulled out the full map of the Seventh Army's garrison and pointed out the route to Chen Chao.
"Even if we cross the river lightly and go around to the rear of the 70th Division, can we capture the ferry before the headquarters camp supports us?" Chen Chao knew the combat effectiveness of each division of his army.
"So you guys can't do it, but don't forget that you still have me, Night Raid!" Luo Yong poked the ferry with his finger.
"Hey, Mo, why did I forget this!" Chen Chao slapped his thigh, "You can respond in the camp of the 70th Division and catch him off guard. A few brigades are enough."
"Well, you are stationed next to the 67th Division, so I selected two thousand elites from the two divisions, crossed the river in the evening, and lurked behind the 70th Division's station before midnight. I will arrange for someone to take you into the camp.
, and then most of the rest can cross the river from the ferry, and when the headquarters camp notices, at least three divisions have completed crossing the river.
Shi Shi doesn't know our situation, so he will definitely send people to retake the ferry. There are only three divisions, 63, 68 and 69, in the headquarters camp. At most, he can send two divisions. We can ambush here." Luo Yong is here.
A point was marked on the map, "The reinforcements will definitely be defeated before dawn. By then, the 65th and 66th Divisions will have completed crossing the river. We will then join forces to attack the headquarters camp."
Chen Chao looked at the map, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, "Wow! Awesome! We have five divisions, and the division commander only has five divisions, and the most elite 61st Division is too far away. We really have
This is an opportunity to break through the headquarters camp and capture the rebel commander." He was used to being Shi Shi's subordinate, and couldn't change his name to "Master Commander" for a while.
"Our greatest assurance is not the strength of the troops, but the morale! Morale! The hometown of most of the soldiers of the Seventh Army is not in Linhai Prefecture. They are not willing to betray the kingdom or the court. We are suppressing the rebellion in the name of Wang Shi.
, In a hasty and indirect battle, our morale is several times that of the opponent, and we will still lose even if the 61st Division comes." Luo Yong is confident.
"Okay, I'll send someone to discuss it with them right away." Chen Chao hurriedly walked out of the camp, and Luo Yong didn't stop him this time.
The 62nd, 64th, 65th, 66th, and 67th divisions were all stationed on the west bank of Baitan River. This was specially arranged by Shi Shi, because he did not trust these five division commanders, but he could not find anyone to replace them in a short time.
On the surface, these five division commanders still obey his command, so they can only monitor and guard for the time being. This objectively makes it easier for the five divisions to communicate with each other.
That night, Chen Chao and Luo Yong secretly came to the 64th Division station located in the middle of the five divisions and on the west bank of the ferry. They followed the commander of the 64th Division Fei Qing, the commander of the 65th Division Zeng Duan, the commander of the 66th Division Niu Jufu and the 67th Division.
The group leader Hou Du will meet.
After hearing Luo Yong's idea, no division commander was not excited. Escape from the legion station and break through the legion headquarters camp are two different concepts. The latter is definitely in everyone's interest.
"Don't be too happy. It's not a big problem to knock on the headquarters camp, but it's not that simple to capture Shi Shi. Our main goal is to break away from the territory controlled by the rebels, arrive at the place under the jurisdiction of the imperial court as soon as possible, and communicate with the commander-in-chief's office
Get in touch." Luo Yong poured cold water on everyone.
