Because the Right Army has no record, if we abandon Dongchang Mansion and do not fight again, then this time among the Three Army, the Right Army will have the worst performance.
Ling Su himself may not care about this.
After all, he had already been promoted to Commander before the war. No matter how meritorious he was in a short period of time, it was unlikely that he would be promoted again.
But Ling Su was not the only one in the Right Army.
Below him is Zhang Meng, and there are more than a dozen officials with more than a thousand households and dozens of thousands of households waiting for this achievement.
If after this battle, the generals of the other two armies get credit and will be promoted by the Ministry of War in the future, and the generals of the right army remain unknown, then no matter how high the prestige of Ling Su is in the army, he will definitely be criticized.
In fact, there were already some rumors among the Huai'an army because Shen Yi himself was promoted too quickly.
Ling Su looked at Shen Yi, then looked back at the right army brothers behind him. He took a deep breath and whispered: "Mr. Shen, Dongchang Mansion must be defeated."
Shen Yi looked at him: "What's the reason?"
Ling Su looked calm and said: "If Dongchang Prefecture is not in hand, Jinan Prefecture Dongchang Prefecture and Daming Prefecture further west will be connected together. By then, Jinan will no longer be an isolated city and can join other cities. The army is united as one."
Ling Su said in a low voice: "According to the principles of Go, you can only raise the piece when you have lost your breath."
"If this tone continues, when Mr. Shen mentions Jinan Prefecture in the future, he will not only have a lot of trouble, but may even make useless efforts."
Shen Yi was silent, and then said slowly: "The reason may be such a reason, but the main force of the Qi people is still intact, so how easy is it to break this tone?"
He looked at Ling Su.
"In General Ling's opinion, how many more troops are needed to break this tone?"
Ling Su shook his head slightly: "What the general means is that our right army will still attack Dongchang Prefecture, and General Su and General Xue can choose an opportunity to attack Jinan Prefecture."
"With such a two-pronged approach, the pressure on Jinan Prefecture will not be very great, and the Qi army facing Dongchang Prefecture will also be reduced sharply."
Hearing this, Shen Yi looked at Ling Su thoughtfully, suddenly smiled, waved to the generals in the central military tent, and said: "Everyone, please go down and rest for a while. General Ling and I have something to do. Discuss."
The generals of the right army hardly hesitated and left with fists clasped.
At this time, no fool would ask Ling Su.
Unless this person has a grudge against General Ling.
After everyone left, Shen Yi motioned for Ling Su to sit down, and then asked calmly: "You have been in contact with Zhou Yuanlang a few times, how do you feel?"
Ling Su lowered his head slightly and said, "Go back to Mr. Shen, this Zhou Yuanlang..."
"Smart and suspicious."
Ling Su said calmly: "There have been many times before that if the generals of the Qi army were not very smart, they would have believed it, but Zhou Yuanlang has always been hesitant to believe it."
"After the last meeting, he even transferred Qingzhou's troops to Dongping Prefecture. His intention was already obvious."
"I want to cause some embarrassment to the general and force him to turn to them."
Mr. Shen thought for a while, and then said: "This Zhou Yuanlang probably wants General Ling to give him a big enough handle, or a certificate of surrender."
Ling Su nodded and said nothing.
Shen Yi touched his chin and asked: "What do they want? If the conditions are not very harsh, you can consider agreeing. After all, at this time, if General Ling can win the trust of the Qi people, it will be of great benefit to the next war."
Ling Su smiled bitterly: "Mr. Shen, what they asked the general to do is something that the general must never do."
"Come and listen."
Mr. Shen smiled and said, "It's okay to listen."
Ling Su still didn't speak, just looked at Shen Yi silently
Mr. Shen was stunned for a while. Then he came to his senses and pointed at his nose with his hand, somewhat stunned: "Me?"
Ling Su nodded and said softly: "They want me to report your specific location, Mr. Shen."
"They even asked me to cooperate with them and take down Mr. Shen."
Shen Yi smiled hoarsely: "So I'm so valuable."
He thought for a while and asked: "How about we work together and perform a painful trick for everyone to see?"
"Mr. Shen, I'm afraid it won't work."
He looked serious and whispered: "Mr. Shen, my subordinates used to think that both the anti-Japanese army and the Huai'an army were brought about by you, Mr. Shen."
"It stands to reason that everyone in the army should be our own people and should be trustworthy."
Having said this, Ling Su exhaled and whispered: "But it wasn't until Qi Ren contacted his subordinates that I realized how terrifying Qi Ren's infiltration was."
Having said this, Ling Su was still a little scared, and he said silently: "One of the personal guards around the general, who has been following the general since he was near the sea, turned out to be a spy for the Qi people..."
He looked at Shen Yi and said with a wry smile: "If this is the case around the general, I'm afraid there is no shortage of Qi Ren's informants around you, Mr. Shen. You can't hide this trick from them."
Mr. Shen thought for a while, nodded and said, "It makes sense."
He looked at Ling Su and asked, "What does General Ling think of the war in Dongchang Mansion?"
Ling Su lowered his head and said: "The right army continues to attack Dongchang Prefecture and is entangled with the Qi people of Dongchang Prefecture."
"As for General Su and General Xue, if you have time, you might as well..."
He looked at Shen Yi silently and said in a deep voice: "We might as well attack Jinan."
Mr. Shen smiled dumbly.
"If we fight like this, the generals under General Ling will be a little unhappy."
Ling Su had no expression on his face, lowered his head and said: "Mr. Shen, the overall situation is more important. Whether they are happy or not is not important."
"We will eventually be able to conquer them."
Shen Yi sat in his seat and thought carefully for a long time.
"That's it. General Ling's proposal will be considered for implementation after the Left Route Army captures Qingzhou. As for now."
He raised his head to look at Ling Su and said, "It's better to fight the Dongchang Mansion first. I'll join the army to see how the battle in Dongchang Mansion is going."
"correct."
Mr. Shen looked calm: "If someone from Qi contacts General Ling again, General Ling can still communicate with them. If he can really win the trust of people from Qi..."
He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter even if my whereabouts are sold."
"After all, as long as we can trick them, the battlefield in Shandong in the second half of the year will immediately become much easier."
Ling Su's expression changed slightly, and when he was about to speak, Shen Yi interrupted him.
"That's it."
Ling Su was silent for a while, lowered his head slightly, and sighed: "I will obey your orders."
"alright."
Mr. Shen stretched out and said, "I'm a little tired after traveling all the way. I'll take a nap first. If anything happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Ling Su bowed his head respectfully and clasped his fists: "I will retire at the end of the day!"
After that, he bowed out respectfully.
After Ling Su left, Shen Yi looked at the direction he left, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
To be honest, he didn't think Zhou Yuanlang's move to touch his general was a very powerful move.
Not only is it not awesome, it's even a bit stupid.
Because at this moment, as long as Ling Su is not crazy, he will never get together with Zhu Li.
but…
Thinking of this, Mr. Shen's eyes darkened.
Among the three generals, why did Qi Ren only find Ling Su but not the other two.
This is quite interesting.
……………………
"Start fighting from here, don't rush north."
In the Chinese army's tent, Shen Yi pointed at a map of Dongchang Prefecture and said so.
The location he was referring to was the area around Puzhou, Fan County, and Guancheng.
This place is due west of Dongping Prefecture. Although it belongs to Dongchang Prefecture, it is still quite far away from Dongchang Prefecture.
Shen Yi paused and continued: "This is close to Henan. General Pei's Northern Expedition Western Route Army can cooperate with us if they attack Chenliu and Nanyang."
"Then the Qi people in this area should not dare to act rashly."
Ling Su's eyes were also on the map, and he said slowly: "Mr. Shen, it is not difficult to take these counties, but after taking them, it will not be too easy to go north to attack Dongchang Mansion."
"Qi people have also sent additional manpower to Daming Mansion in the west..."
Shen Yi pointed to the location of Daming Mansion with his finger and narrowed his eyes slightly: "My opinion is that after taking these three counties, don't go north and go directly to the west. It is best to capture Daming Mansion!"
"At least, we should drive the Qi people from Daming Mansion a little further north."
"In this way, our war in Shandong will immediately go much smoother."
As soon as these words came out, Ling Su and all the generals were stunned, and then they looked at each other, and their eyes became a little excited.
Daming Mansion, although it is directly under the Northern Qi Dynasty, is located very far to the south.
If we can capture this Daming Mansion, then the next war in Shandong will indeed be much easier to fight.
And, more importantly...
It would be great if we could eat up the whole government of Zhili and bring it back to Jiankang!
When it is sent back to Jiankang, you can write such a title in the Di newspaper.
"Wang's army went north, and Shen Zhongcheng planned Shandong Province."
"Showing power on the right, General Ling attacks Zhili!"
In this way, not only will the headlines be filled up directly, but the morale of the people will also be boosted immediately.
Most likely, His Majesty the Emperor will also be rewarded.
Although there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, it only took a moment for Ling Su to come to his senses quickly, clasped his fists and lowered his head and said, "Mr. Shen is brilliant."
He looked at Shen Yi and said, "It's just like Daming Mansion, which needs the cooperation of friendly forces in Henan..."
Mr. Shen's eyes were still on the map. Hearing this, he looked at Ling Su and smiled.
"I have already written a document for the West Route Army. In a few days, someone will come to see General Ling and communicate with General Ling about the specific war."
"You guys should discuss it carefully and cooperate when the time comes."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said, "They haven't made much progress in the past six months, and they are in urgent need of military exploits."
Ling Su took a deep breath and bowed his head deeply.
"Mr. Shen is strategizing, I will admire you!"
"Stop saying these useless words."
Mr. Shen squinted his eyes and chuckled: "If there is a chance, I would like to meet Zhou Yuanlang."
What he said had no beginning or end, and it was incomprehensible.
But Ling Su understood it.
He lowered his head silently and did not answer.
"The general has gone down to deploy his troops..."
