Chapter 157 Everyone's reply, the front line has changed
Chapter 157: Everyone replies, there are changes on the front line
Fortunately, Shen Tang is Bian Xi's brother, and the soldiers and young men in the camp are no strangers to Shen Tang. Therefore, Shen Tang traveled smoothly and enjoyed the treatment that Shao Muyu received in the army.
"Eh? Brother Shen?" Ji Rong was stunned when he saw Shen Tang walking into the tent.
Shen Tang raised his hands and said, "Shen Tang has something to do and wants to chat with the general for a few words!"
Although Ji Rong was extremely busy at the moment, he also knew that Shen Tang's so-called chat was definitely not simple. Therefore, he dismissed the few soldiers beside him and the two of them sat down opposite each other.
After more than an hour, Shen Tang walked out of the tent with a smile, and Ji Rong's hearty laughter rang out from the tent behind him.
The more than 20,000 soldiers surrounding Lingbi were all caught up in chaotic busyness!
Five full days have passed, but no cavalry from the Jin Kingdom has been found around Lingbi City. Even the small groups of Jin soldiers that occasionally appeared before seemed to have disappeared.
However, the more this happened, the more nervous Shen Tang, Bian Xi and others became. There must be a monster when something goes wrong, and it is very likely that things are developing in the direction Shen Tang expected.
"Master Shen, the commander-in-chief calls you to come and discuss matters!"
One of Bian Xi's personal guards found the Shen Hall outside the city and was watching the construction of the Wengcheng.
Shen Tang nodded and hurried back to the Chinese army's tent in the city.
"Brother!"
Bian Xi was the only one in the tent, and even Deng Jie and Ji Rong were not there.
"This is the reply from the Japanese Army, Prime Minister Zhang and his second brother. You should read it first..." Bian Xi said with a frown.
On the table, there were three letters placed side by side. Shen Tang went to one of them, and when he opened it, it was a reply to Bian Xi from Ding Chengzhi, a Japanese soldier.
Looking at the words in the letter, Shen Tang couldn't help but frown. Ding Chengzhi obviously didn't believe Bian Xi's speculation. He even mocked him in the letter for being unreasonable or fearful of war. Moreover, at the end, he even asked for accountability. Bian Xi insulted him as a Japanese general, and he will definitely seek justice one day...
He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, it seems that there is no hope for the Japanese Army. Moreover, once things change, if the Japanese Army does not defend well, it may fall first. We won't say what happened to the Japanese Army, but the final burden will be on it. It fell on us."
Once Hong County falls, it will not only cause great trouble to the entire war situation, but also Lingbi will become the only important position connecting the front and rear, and the pressure will naturally increase greatly.
Putting down Ding Chengzhi's letter, he picked up another one, but it was Zhang Jun's own handwriting.
In comparison, Zhang Jun's words were much more polite, and he even expressed great appreciation for Bian Xi's proposal. However, it is a principle. No matter what happens, the Zaoyang army must defend the Lingbi without any loss. As for the main force of the Song army in front , the battle between Suzhou and Pizhou is about to be won! Even if reinforcements from the Jin army from Shandong arrive, they will be able to defend the city by then, and they will still be able to fight.
What's more, the Jin soldiers have come from afar and may be able to decide the outcome of the Shandong war in one battle...
All in all, Bian Xi, your idea is good and very interesting. However, don’t think randomly, listen to the instructions of the truth, don’t do useless work, and don’t think about other things...
"Brother, Mr. Zhang's reply was also within our expectations. Although the situation is not good, it has not gotten worse. Why should you worry, brother?"
Shen Tang's words made Bian Xi's brows slightly relax, "It's not that I'm worried, it's just that now, everyone is blinded by victory and can't see the real situation clearly..."
As for Xin Qiji's reply, it made Shen Tang smile a little.
Xin Qiji not only did not refute the speculations of Shen Tang and Bian Xi, but also believed that the possibility was extremely high. He even gave a lot of suggestions in the letter, which coincided with Shen Tang's arrangements.
In addition, Xin Qiji's Xin family army has now gathered more than 8,000 people. Xin Qiji has promised to consolidate the combat power as soon as possible and travel north to Lingbi to join Bian Xi and others. Even if things go as Shen Tang speculated, Xin Qiji will not have time to join up. The follow-up matters have already been agreed in the letter!
"Third brother, you are right. Except for our own brothers, no one can be trusted! However, this time we three brothers join forces, although the situation is extremely evil, we may not be unable to fight..." Bian Xi sighed and said.
Shen Tang nodded, and then asked, "Brother, if Brother Xin asks Prime Minister Zhang to go north to Lingbi, will Prime Minister Zhang stop him or make another appointment?"
Bian Xi shook his head with a smile, "Don't worry, you have underestimated the status of your second brother. Although the second brother comes from the north and has no foundation in the court, because of this, his status is extremely special, even if Even before the official family, his status is also extraordinary. Therefore, although the second brother is also in the north and is nominally at the disposal of Prime Minister Zhang, as long as the second brother insists on joining us, Prime Minister Zhang will not stop him too much."
When Shen Tang heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief! It seemed that he knew too little about the situation in the DPRK. However, one of his two brothers represented the surrender of the northern rebels and had a special status in the eyes of the officials, and the other One of them has the power of great victory. Although his status is not as good as Zhang Jun's, he is still among the top ranks among generals. At least, he is far from being comparable to ordinary frontier generals. In this way, the room for maneuver for himself and others will be greatly increased. , in this battle, maybe you will have the opportunity to make a great contribution!
Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, it was mid-October!
But on this day, two pieces of news came quickly! Just when the main force in the front was about to capture the cities of Suzhou and Pizhou, reinforcements from the Kingdom of Jin suddenly arrived. Among them, the reinforcements from Pizhou were about 25,000 people, including 20,000 cavalry. , five thousand infantry! And the reinforcements from Suzhou have also arrived fifty miles away from Suzhou. Their number is also nearly 20,000. Moreover, most of them are cavalry.
When these two news reached Lingbi, generals such as Ji Rong and Deng Jie were reporting to Bian Xi the situation during this period.
After listening to the commander read out the news slowly, the eyes of everyone present suddenly focused on Shen Tang. In the news, whether it was the situation in the two states or even the number of Jin soldiers' reinforcements, they were actually the same as those before Shen Tang. What Tang said coincides with what he said.
When the messengers left, Bian Xi took a deep breath and glanced at everyone, "Everyone, it seems that our speculation is very likely to be true. In this case, this war will be inevitable! From now on At the beginning, in addition to the necessary auxiliary troops, everyone entered the designated position according to our previous arrangements. In addition, Jirong sent 500 cavalry and divided the team to secretly investigate the situation in the North. Especially Guide Mansion, The four directions of Jeju, Yiju and Haeju must be closely monitored and their identities cannot be exposed."
"Once something changes, report it as soon as possible!"
