After sending Zhou Huai away, Su Dingmo sat in the Chinese army tent for a long time, then picked up a pen and started writing a letter to Ling Su.
After writing a letter, it was already early in the morning. He stood up, called the guards guarding the door, and ordered: "Send this letter of mine to General Ling as quickly as possible."
The guard took the letter and bowed his head respectfully: "Yes!"
This letter was delivered to the Right Route Army's military tent by Pegasus. However, when it was delivered, it was already the afternoon of the next day. At this time, General Ling was convening some important generals of the Right Route Army for discussion. When he heard
It was a handwritten letter from Su Ding. Ling Su pressed his hand slightly and said slowly: "Stop for a moment."
General Su Dingsu, so far, does not have enough prestige in the Left Army, and can only rely on his military exploits to keep him in power.
But Ling Su's situation in the Right Army was completely different. The entire Right Army, and even the entire Huai'an Army, as long as they were from the anti-Japanese army, were originally under the command of General Ling.
Especially the right army, everyone was led by Ling Su. He only said these four words, and the commander's tent immediately became quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.
After General Ling opened the letter, he read it carefully, then looked at Zhang Meng who was sitting beside him, and said, "You should also take a look."
Zhang Meng stood up, walked to Ling Su, took the letter, glanced at it, and frowned.
"General..."
There was no expression on Ling Su's face, he just said quietly: "Let General Wei take a look too."
Zhang Meng nodded, walked up to Wei Xiong, and handed the letter to the Forbidden Army general. Wei Xiong only glanced at it, then his expression changed. He looked at Ling Su and said in silence: "General Ling, two hundred thousand
Qi Jun…”
Ling Su silently exhaled a breath and looked at Wei Xiong: "General Wei, there is no need to panic. Previously, we had more than 100,000 Qi troops to the north, but now there are only 60,000 or 70,000 more."
Wei Xiong smiled bitterly and said: "General Ling, there are so many people, let alone fighting, even if we charge hard, we may not be able to resist them for a while."
Ling Su shook his head and said with a smile: "Our right army has about 50,000 people, plus the forbidden army brought by General Wei, the total is about 100,000. If the Qi people really rush over in half a month,
, we can kill them all."
"Don't belittle yourself."
When Ling Su said this, he paused for a moment, then looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you should have heard what General Wei said."
"Now, Nuo Yong of the Northern Qi Dynasty has assembled most of his troops in Zhending Mansion, ready to go south at any time, from our right army."
"According to our own intelligence and the letter sent by General Su, I am afraid that there are probably 200,000 Qi troops gathered near Zhending Mansion at this time!"
Ling Su looked at Wei Xiong and said slowly: "General Wei, the Forbidden Army is stationed in Shunde City. We will defend the city for at least a month. Is there any problem?"
Wei Xiong looked at Shunde on the map, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked: "General Ling, do our troops only need to defend Shunde City, or do we need to defend the entire Shunde Prefecture?"
"Of course it's Shunde City."
Ling Su smiled and said: "Qi people have so many troops. It is too difficult to defend the entire palace. Why would Ling embarrass General Wei?"
"General Wei only needs to defend Shunde City."
Ling Su said softly: "It's just that if a war breaks out near Shunde City, when we ask for help, we should ask General Wei to lend a helping hand in a timely manner."
"Of course there is no problem with this."
Wei Xiong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, General Ling. If I lose Shunde within a month, someone from Wei will raise his head to see Lord Shen!"
After a pause, he coughed: "However, General Ling has to make up for the provisions and baggage, as well as artillery and shells. The more the better..."
During this period, the fighting in the Right Army has not stopped. Wei Xiong, the general of the Forbidden Army, has been in the Right Army. He has fought several battles and has seen several battles of the Huai'an Army. He is very concerned about the Huai'an Army's artillery and explosive ammunition. , very hot-eyed.
Ling Su did not hesitate and said: "I will give orders later to have the corresponding supplies delivered to Shunde City."
"In addition to supplies, I will also send General Wei twenty gunners to prevent General Wei's subordinates from not knowing how to operate the new artillery."
Wei Xiong was overjoyed, stood up, clasped his fists and bowed his head to Ling Su: "Thank you, General Ling!"
Ling Su stood up and returned the salute: "Don't you dare."
Before Wei Xiong went north, he was the commander of the imperial army and ranked second in the imperial court. After going north, he was theoretically controlled by Shen Yi instead of Ling Su. Not only were they on the same level, Wei Xiong was far superior to Ling Su in terms of seniority. , Ling Su, with his cautious temperament, naturally did not dare to overdo it.
After the two discussed the details, Wei Xiong stood up and said goodbye, preparing to leave the Right Army Camp, return to his own camp, and set off for Shunde Mansion.
Before leaving, Wei Xiong looked at Ling Su. After thinking for a while, he said: "General Ling, the frontal battlefield is now the most critical time. I heard that Lord Shen is not in the left and right armies. You went north to Taiyuan, what's going on?"
Ling Su lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "The Marquis has a far-reaching vision, which Ling cannot predict. Maybe for the entire battlefield, the Shanxi side is more important."
"also possible…"
General Ling sorted out his words and continued: "It is also possible that for the Marquis, these troops in the Northern Qi Dynasty are already within their grasp, but the Tatars further north are even more troublesome."
"That's why he left for Taiyuan to preside over the war in Shanxi."
Wei Xiong was stunned for a moment, then he gave Ling Su a thumbs up and praised: "I've heard a long time ago that General Ling you are as magnanimous as a mountain, as calm as a valley, and unshakable. Now that I see you, the name of Ling Valley is indeed well-deserved. "
Ling Su bowed slightly: "General Wei praised me."
"Due to the situation of today's war, Ling has to use his small skills to make a big move and issue orders to General Wei. When the war is over in the future, when he has the opportunity to go to Jiankang, Ling will toast to his senior to apologize."
These words gave Wei Xiong a lot of face. General Wei felt very good after hearing these words. He laughed, clasped his fists and said, "General Ling, you're welcome. One day when we arrive in Jiankang, we brothers, let's have a good drink!"
"The war is urgent, we can't stay any longer, take our leave!"
After that, Wei Xiong turned around and strode away from the right army's central tent.
Ling Su, Zhang Meng and others escorted him all the way to the outside of the tent. After Wei Xiong had gone far, Zhang Meng said with a smile: "This General Wei is really generous. Such a big official came to our right army. It’s really like being under your command, general, and you can do whatever you want.”
"If it had been another general with less courage, I'm afraid there would have been a lot of trouble."
Ling Su shook his head and said calmly: "It's not to give us face, but to give Mr. Shen face."
"They dare not offend Mr. Shen, and they cannot afford to offend Mr. Shen."
After saying this, Ling Su turned his head and walked towards the Chinese army tent with his hands behind his back: "Continue the discussion."
After everyone returned to the Chinese army's tent, Ling Su pointed at the map and said in a deep voice: "Shunde Mansion is guarded by the Forbidden Army. If the Qi people go south, there will be an extra nail. They will have to pull out this nail."
"With this nail in place, no matter how many of them there are, we won't be controlled by them everywhere when we take action."
"We will first go north of Shunde and try to find a way to stop these Qi people. If the pressure on the frontal battlefield is too great, we will consider retreating and retreating while fighting..."
Having said this, Ling Su thought for a while and changed his words: "It should be to fight while retreating."
His hand fell on Guangping Mansion, located southeast of Shunde, and he continued: "The furthest south is to retreat here."
"The time for us to retreat here must be within one month at the minimum. In other words, we must hold off Nuo Yong's main force for at least a month to buy time and opportunities for other armies."
Zhang Meng looked up at the map and was a little annoyed for no reason: "Should we give General Xue a chance, or should we give General Su a chance?"
"This is Nuo Yong's choice, we can only take the next step."
General Ling frowned and looked at Zhang Meng.
"What are you complaining about?"
Zhang Meng took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "I don't dare, I just feel a little suffocated in my heart."
"There is nothing to hold your breath. So far, Mr. Shen has not treated any general of the Right Route Army badly. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can come to me and tell me."
"Or go directly to Mr. Shen and tell him."
"But before that."
Ling Su's voice deepened: "We must fight this battle first!"
He has great prestige and can be said to be the second person in the Huai'an army under Shen Yi.
Everyone present immediately bowed their heads and clasped their fists.
"I will obey my orders!"
