Because of Yang Hao's words, Zhu Yun's thoughts were touched. She recounted her life experience, felt sorry for herself, and hurt herself. She suddenly had an idea and expressed her wish to serve Yang Hao for the rest of her life. You must know that in this era, the male master's exclusive maid
Maid, that is half concubine and half maid, and is different from ordinary maids. Zhu Yun has expressed her wish to him euphemistically.
After saying this, Zhu Yun was frightened and shy, and suddenly regretted her abruptness. What if Yang Hao didn't agree? Then how could he still have the face to appear in front of him in the future, but...but...what if the Taiwei agreed...
…, Zhu Yun’s heart jumped like a deer.
Unexpectedly, Yang Hao's eyes lit up after hearing her words, he stood up in a hurry, said something completely unrelated to what she wanted to hear, and walked away.
"Mrs...Mrs...Lieutenant...you..."
Zhuyun was dumbfounded. She just showed a little love and actually scared Taiwei Yang away. Could she really be so unbearable?
Yang Hao ran out of the sleeping tent, then suddenly came back, poked his head into the tent, and said with a smile: "Zhuyun, you should go to bed earlier. I suddenly remembered a big thing and I have to deal with it immediately. Then.
The veal smells very fragrant, let's stew it first and taste it when I come back."
"Oh, yes..." Zhuyun immediately showed a happy smile.
Seeing Yang Hao running out of the tent like his butt was on fire again, Zhu Yun picked up a spoon, stirred it gently in the bowl a few times, and scooped up a spoonful of soup. The soup was clear, the beef was bright red, and there was a piece of milky white floating in the soup.
of wild onions, and gently put the broth into his mouth. The aroma suddenly filled his mouth. Zhu Yun's eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons: "Actually... I'm not only good at killing people, but I'm also very talented at making meals with a spoon.
As long as you give me a chance, I will definitely be able to make it even better..."
She took another spoonful of fragrant beef soup and put it into her mouth, then raised her chin and thought to herself: "But... did he agree or not? Or... he didn't listen at all just now.
go?"
Yang Hao left his sleeping tent and walked quickly to the front of the Chinese army's tent. He suddenly stopped and looked up at the morning sky hanging low in the sky. He took a long breath and felt refreshed and full of hope.
smooth.
He is confused when he cares. Ever since he knew that something happened in Fuzhou, he has been entangled in the pros and cons of leaving or staying, so he has never made up his mind. Now Zhuyun's words awakened the dreamer, making him suddenly realize
So, when I thought about the response measures to the Fuzhou Rebellion, I was wrong from the most fundamental starting point.
Those who use troops are ruthless, and those who plot are careless. At this critical moment, he should maintain absolute calm and let himself stand at a higher angle to overlook this crisis. What he needs to do most now is not to worry about the gains and losses of one city or one place.
, instead of weighing the pros and cons of leaving or staying, we should consider what measures to take to resolve this unfavorable situation when the opportunity has been lost, reverse the situation that is unfavorable to him, and take the initiative back into his own hands.
Only by taking the initiative and preventing Zhao Guangyi from calculating every move he makes, can he gradually change the situation even if he fails for a moment. Otherwise, every reaction will be under the opponent's control, and he will only make one mistake.
He made mistakes every step of the way and was led by Zhao Guangyi. At first, Li Guangrui was shocked to hear that Xiazhou had lost his troops and hurriedly withdrew his troops, which was under his control. However, when Li Guangrui fled to Wuding River, he suddenly set up an ambush and counterattacked, killing a carbine, and the whole situation was over.
To his surprise, if he hadn't used his extreme intellect to escape through the river, wouldn't Li Guangrui have turned defeat into victory?
Yang Hao was originally the best at finding opportunities, creating opportunities, and seizing the initiative in adversity. Whether he led 50,000 people of Han Dynasty to flee to Fuzhou by seducing the east and attacking the west, or he used a trick to inflict a fatal blow on Li Jiqian.
Counterattacking an ambush, provoking a war between Tubo, Uighur and Xiazhou to prevent Xiazhou from developing Luzhou, or being assassinated in the Tang Dynasty, or strategizing against the Xiao Empress in the Shangjing Prison, could it be that they came back to life after facing a desperate situation.
But this time, he almost lost control. The reason was simply because his family fortune was getting bigger and bigger, and his burden was getting heavier and heavier. It turned out that he was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. At worst, he would lose everything and start over again.
He was a white man again, so he dared to fight hard when he should fight hard, and dared to give up when he needed to give up. However, now that he is in the northwest and has huge power, he has more ties in his heart, and his worries are heavier, and he is far less free and easy than before.
Now, because of Zhu Yun's words, the gloom in Yang Hao's heart was gone, and it suddenly became much brighter.
That night, the generals who had just fallen asleep were woken up by Yang Hao in turn and summoned to the Chinese army's tent one by one. Yang Hao held a candle and held a candlelight conversation with them. They talked one by one and analyzed the current situation.
, weigh the pros and cons of leaving and staying, research
After studying various countermeasures and unifying everyone's thoughts, Yang Hao's mouth was dry as he talked, but he also communicated with all the important generals, and his sudden idea was discussed and debated by everyone.
It is also more mature and perfect.
The sun burst out from the east silently. Zhu Yun, who was sleeping on the desk, was awakened by a burst of rapid drumming. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the sky was bright. She got up and walked outside the tent to take a look.
Seeing the generals wearing their helmets and armor and rushing towards the central army's tent, Zhu Yun was puzzled: "What happened? The Taiwei didn't seem to sleep all night and didn't use breakfast, so he summoned the generals again to discuss something?"
"
"oops!"
Zhuyun suddenly thought of the pot of veal and hurriedly returned to the tent. She thought that Yang Hao would come back soon when he said he would eat it later. She originally added more firewood to the stove, hoping to stew the beef until it was crispy and fragrant.
Nong, I made a late night snack for Taiwei. Who would have thought that after adding firewood, he got bored and fell asleep. Zhuyun hurried to the stove and saw that the flames under the stove had gone out. Only the sparks flickered and seemed to be extinguished.
It didn't take long.
Lifting the lid of the pot, he saw that the originally clear broth had turned turbid. He scooped up a piece of beef and tasted it. The stew had lost its smoothness and deliciousness, and the texture was a little dull. Zhuyun looked at it with some frustration.
The pot beef started to worry.
At this moment, two noisy voices reached my ears:
"These fish must be stewed to eat. The soup becomes thick and milky white. Drinking it is the best way to replenish your body."
"What's strange is that if you stew a fish into soup and drink it to replenish your body, then eating the whole fish will not replenish your health? Greedy people like to drink soup, lazy people like to sleep. Is Miss Zhuyun as greedy as you?
, if you want me to say, it has to be roasted and eaten, you
Look at these fish, each one is as big as a palm. The scales have been shaved off and roasted over fire. They are golden in color and fragrant. Our northwest cuisine is all about grilling and roasting. Aren’t your ancestors from Langya? You are not from Jiangnan.
How can I love soup so much?"
"Nonsense, aren't I thinking about Miss Zhuyun? She is such a handsome woman. If you ask her to grill the fish till it becomes charred and charred, and after eating a fish, her handsome appearance will be completely ruined, and her face will look like a painted face.
It looks like a cat, doesn’t it look good?”
"Eh? Lao Ka, something doesn't sound right to me. Are you attracted to Miss Zhuyun? I said that you blocked the river to fish early in the morning, just to please Miss Zhuyun.
?”
"Nonsense! Do I, Lao Ka, need to please women? If I fall in love with someone's girl, all I have to do is hook my little finger and she will immediately get into the sedan chair happily without dressing up? Ahem! But then again, you
Said... If I really mean that, my official position is worthy of her, right? I heard that she is Marshal Feiyu's secret spy, and I, Lao Ka, am the dignified Captain Zuo Guoyi of the Suzhou Army...
"
The two of them were still far away, but their voices were already loud, and Zhu Yun's ear was particularly good. She heard all these words, and Zhu Yun raised the corner of her mouth, revealing an expression that was half a smile.
"Ah! Miss Zhuyun..."
Kapoka and Zhi Fubao walked to Zhuyun's tent and saw the eldest girl standing at the entrance of the tent. Kapoka's fat and dark face turned red for a rare moment. Zhuyun's clear eyes fell on
In his hand, Kapoka had a red willow branch, and three palm-sized white fish were tied to the branch. In the sun, the scales sparkled, and the fish's gills were still moving, very vivid.
Kapoka quickly raised the string of fish as if to offer a treasure, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhuyun, this is the fish that Lao Ka caught from the river early in the morning. He thought that Miss Zhuyun's injury has not healed, so he gave it to her.
You can change the taste and replenish your health. This fish is very fresh and best stewed in soup."
"Miss Zhuyun, don't listen to him. This fish is the most delicious when grilled. Pair it with a glass of good wine..."
"Stop talking, it's not you who caught him." Kapoka was furious and glared at his old friend.
Zhuyun reached out to take the fish he handed over and said softly: "General Ka is interested. Zhuyun really doesn't know how to thank the general."
When Kapoka heard her thin and soft voice, his face flushed with excitement, he rubbed his hands and said, "No thank you, hey, it's just a small thing, it's not respectful."
"Ah!" Zhu Yun exclaimed softly, as if he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I stewed a pot of veal last night, and it was too much for one person to eat. The general was so kind, so I gave the broth back to the general.
alright."
"Oh, I don't dare to take it, then I don't dare to take it."
Kapoka refused continuously, and Zhuyun walked into the tent without any explanation. Kapoka did not dare to walk in rashly, and he just stretched his neck and looked at the tent. After a while, Zhuyun
He brought out a clay pot and said with a smile before saying anything: "General Ka, this is the broth stewed by Zhu Yun himself. It's not hot yet. General, take it back and taste it fresh."
"Oh, I'm so embarrassed," Kapoka was still pretending to shirk, but Zhi Fubao had already taken the pot and held it to his chest.
"Woo~~~Woo~~~" The desolate horn sounded. Zhuyun listened attentively and said: "Listen to this horn sound, could there be some important military matter?"
Kapoca smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's the horn sound. I haven't had breakfast yet, so I won't attack the city so early."
Zhu Yun smiled sweetly: "That's not what you said. A country cannot be without a king for a day, and an army cannot be without a commander for a day. The two generals are the generals who lead one side. If something happens in a hurry, the soldiers will not be able to find them.
What should we do with the two adults? Zhuyun doesn’t dare to delay the official business of the two generals, please come back now.”
"Uh..., okay, okay, then I'll go back." Kapoka was reluctant to leave, but he didn't want Zhuyun to underestimate him, so he turned back three times and left.
The two of them walked far away, Zhuyun's ears twitched, and Kapoka said happily: "Hey! You said that Miss Zhuyun gave me meat soup, does she mean something to me... Hi!
How did you get drunk?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the heat is too high, the soup is no longer fresh, and the meat is too woody. How can we eat it?"
"Bullshit! Are you so particular about it? Who rushes to feed it to you? This is the meat soup that Miss Zhuyun gave me. Bring it here..."
The two people were robbing each other. Zhu Yun saw it from a distance and couldn't help laughing. Then she put on a look of resentment: "Oh, how come you are such a charcoal-headed person who knows the goods? Is it possible that Mr. Taiwei is the one who knows the goods?"
In your eyes, doesn’t this girl count as a woman?”
Zhu Yun returned to the tent sadly and brought up the string of fish. Zhu Yun blinked and suddenly felt worried: "Should this fish be stewed for him to eat, or should it be roasted?"
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Yang Hao looked solemn and straight. After a very detailed analysis and speech, Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Generals, when we return to the army at this time, we are far away from the water and are near thirsty, and we are galloping all the way.
, the troops were trapped and lacked horses, and it was difficult to enter the battle.
Moreover, the Liangzhou and Suzhou we have just recaptured will also be occupied by the Guiyi Army and Ganzhou Uighurs, causing all previous achievements to be wasted. In addition, the Guiyi Army and Ganzhou Uighurs will not miss the opportunity, as they will chase and intercept them along the way.
, the magnitude of the loss can be imagined.
Therefore, I have decided that he will fight his side and I will fight mine. The defense of the eastern front will be left to Yang Jiye and Zhong Fang to be commanded nearby, and we will do whatever is convenient. Our Western Expedition Army will stick to the original plan and must capture Guasha at all costs before turning back.
Clean up Ganzhou again to ensure that the Western Front has no worries
Originally, I wanted to wait for the uprising in Shazhou and the military morale in Guazhou to be in chaos before attacking Guazhou in order to avoid casualties as much as possible. However, the changes in Fuzhou forced me to take action in advance, otherwise once the news reached Guazhou
The rebels heard that Cao Yangong was confident and would not surrender.
Today, our army has begun to strengthen its offensive, striving to capture Guazhou as quickly as possible. If Shazhou cannot be captured peacefully, it will be captured by force. This time we vow to go out, no matter what happens, the Hexi Corridor
We must get through! No one or anything can influence our actions or shake our determination!"
"Mu En! Li Huating!"
"The end is here!"
The two generals clasped their fists and stepped out. Yang Hao drew his command arrow and shouted sternly: "I order your two armies to attack Nancheng immediately and cut off the enemy's waterways."
"Follow your orders!" The two took the command arrows and clasped their fists.
"Liu Shi, Deng Hong!"
"The end is here!"
"I ordered you two to attack the North City separately. The North City is located on a higher ground. If it cannot be breached, you should also try your best to attract the defenders in the city to create opportunities for Mu En and Li Huating!"
"As you command!"
"Ai Yihai, I order your troops to continue to pretend to attack Xicheng and block the enemy's retreat. Your mobile and light cavalry must not move rashly. Please wait for news from Shazhou at any time for reinforcements!"
"General, I obey!" Ai Yihai took the order arrow and strode out.
"The rest of the generals are dispatched by my commander and follow him to attack the east city. Each battalion takes turns to go into battle, using the wheel warfare method, not giving the enemy in the city a chance to breathe!"
The generals responded with a roar, exited the tent like a tide, got on their horses, and galloped back to the formation with their own soldiers and guards. Within a moment, the rapid sound of horns sounded.
Yang Hao picked up four more letters, which he had written in a hurry after a sleepless night, and shouted: "Dark Night!"
In response to the sound, a person flashed in from outside the tent. An Ye was not one person, but a group of people. They were a group of calm and witty people carefully selected from the Feiyu secret spies who were personally cultivated by Gu Daji and Gu Zhuyun according to the standards of killers.
People who are smart and outstanding in martial arts will directly take orders from Yang Hao. Those who usually cooperate with Ma Yi will serve as security guards. In emergencies, they will directly act according to Yang Hao's instructions.
Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "These four secret letters must be delivered directly to the hands of Xiazhou Zhongfang, Linzhou Yang Jiye, Shuzhong Tongyu and Shangjing Xiaohou, for sure!"
"As ordered!" The Dark Feather guard didn't say much, took the secret letter, put it in his arms and turned around to leave.
Yang Hao looked at the deserted tent and let out a sigh of relief.
Xiao Chuo is a talented and resourceful female Chinese hero. Regardless of the personal relationship between their children, she will not sit back and watch Zhao Guangyi occupy the northwest. Since Zhao Guangyi has taken action against Fuzhou, Xiao Chuo must take action. This is inevitable.
Doubtful, but it was more public than private, so this letter should still be sent. What Zhong Fang and Yang Jiye explained was relatively simple. Yang Hao had already authorized the two of them to do whatever they could according to the situation.
In Yang Hao's consideration, all the Zhe family in Fugu fell into the hands of Chi Zhong. Fuzhou was already leaderless, and the Zhe family army was in disarray. They might not be able to defend it in front of the Zhao Guan family, who had been gathering momentum and prepared for a long time.
Once Fuzhou is lost, Linzhou is in danger of being lost. The imperial troops can follow the ancient Great Wall route and kill directly to Linzhou.
The troops on the eastern front were limited, and without the strong support of the Zhejia Army, Yang Jiye was helpless. If he defended the city and fought a war of attrition with the imperial troops, the consequences would be extremely worrying, so he made the worst assumption: If the government
Since the state has been lost, we can decisively abandon Linzhou, use Yinzhou and Luzhou as strongholds, shrink our troops and retreat to Hengshan. In this way, on the one hand, we can lengthen the front line of the Song army and increase their logistical burden, and on the other hand, we can use Hengshan's commanding and dangerous terrain to
It can play the role of one man in charge.
If the prefecture is lost, the one abandoned is Linzhou, which has lost its strategic role, but it can buy him enough time to calmly open up the Hexi Corridor, capture the five prefectures of Shaguasu, Gansu and Liang, and completely control the entire Hexi.
In this case, by actively abandoning the defense of Linzhou and concentrating troops to set up the second line of defense in Hengshan, we can reverse the passive situation of insufficient troops on the eastern front and being subject to the imperial court's preemptive strike. In exchange, we will embrace Hexi and Longyou.
Overlooking Guanzhong, and relying on the dangerous passes of Hengshan Mountain, when the time is right, you can release your horse to the Central Plains at any time, and then fight back to the two states of Linfu. This is a good deal.
At the same time, because Zhao Guangyi showed his ferocious minions and began to impatiently use troops against the northwest, the hidden chess he had buried in Shu should also come into play. The leader who now controls the 100,000 rebels in Shu is called Zhao Dezhu, and No. 234
The leader, however, withdrew from the center of power because the original leader died in battle or because his own shortcomings gradually became apparent under the suppression of the imperial court.
The leaders currently occupying the second, third and fourth positions are all newly emerging figures in the past two years. In the past few years, using the financial, material, manpower and information secretly supported by Yang Hao, Tong Yu and Wang Peng, also known as Scimitar Xiao
Liuhe Tietou, who had a distinguished record in the Sichuan Rebel Army, stood out and became the second and third number one figure in the Sichuan Rebel Army. The fourth figure was a farmer who just joined the rebel army last spring, named Wang Xiaobo, because he was brave in battle and righteous.
, and repeatedly made military exploits, he was extremely talented in war and quickly became the leader of the rebels.
Because the military operations of the Shu government to suppress the rebels have become more and more frequent in the past two years, Zhao Dezhu lost confidence after several defeats and began to retreat to Bazhou, Wenchuan, and Weizhou in central Sichuan, and then went westward.
They could immediately retreat to the territory of the Tubo people and avoid being eaten by the imperial soldiers and horses. However, shrinking to this corner also limited the development of the rebel army and its influence in Shu. Ordnance, food and grass gradually became scarce.
Since Pan Mei was ordered to sweep across the south of the Yangtze River and wipe out the fledgling Jiangnan rebels at that time, she was unable to communicate with the central Shu. Yang Hao did not interfere with the rebels' westward retreat from Qingcheng Mountain and maintained contact with Xiaoliu, often sending
He was secretly notified of the news about which cities they found that had a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance stored in them, so that if the rebels had divine help, they would always gain something in every battle. When the grain and grass supplies were really insufficient, Li Tingfeng would also arrange for a "grain dealer" to take the initiative to wait.
He went to rob, and the team was able to survive.
Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, now is the time to use this army. Yang Hao gave instructions in a secret letter, and ordered Xiaoliu and Tietou to convince Zhao Dezhu to lead the army there, go north from Jizong Pass, and harass Maozhou.
An, Brazil, Mianzhu and other places, or go south to Taoguan, harass Pengzhou, Shuzhou, Gongzhou, Meizhou, and if necessary, march to the city of Chengdu and beat Zhao Guangyi hard. Once Shuzhong is shaken, the pressure on Hexi will be relieved.
Moreover, although the rebels are large in number, claiming to be an army of 100,000, they are a mob. The old, weak, sick and disabled can only stand guard, and can only wave flags, shout, and raise rice seedlings. They are originally used to cut paths and strengthen beams.
Yes, if it doesn't go through some tempering, this team will not be of much use in the future.
However, the leader of this rebel army is Zhao Dezhu, the manager of the salt well. This man is murderous but lacks strategy. He has always been arbitrary and arbitrary. It is difficult to predict whether he will be obedient. Therefore, Yang Hao secretly instructed the machete boy in his letter.
Six, if you can't control him, then get rid of him and take this rebel army completely into your own hands. He is also worried about whether Xiao Liu can complete his mission.
After standing silently and thinking for a long time, Yang Hao finally felt a little hungry. Only then did he remember the pot of veal stewed by Zhu Yun. He was about to go over and have a bowl when he heard the roar of war drums and the siege battle started again.
, Yang Hao's spirit was lifted, he reached out and took off the cloak draped on the commander's chair, and said in a loud voice: "Come here, follow me in front of the commander's formation to supervise the battle!"
Zhu Yun finally decided to grill the fish and eat it. She removed the scales from the fish, removed the internal organs, and cleaned it. Then she lit a fire under the stove, set up the fish skewers and grilled them carefully. The curtain was lifted for easy smoking.
, the sun shone slantly from the opening of the tent, shining on the fish skewers. As the heat roasted, the fish gradually turned golden color, and drops of fish oil dripped into the fire, making a sizzling sound.
Zhuyun couldn't help but smile when she saw it, and she praised herself smugly: "I'm really talented at cooking with a spoon."
At this moment, war drums rumbled, and people outside shouted, making a commotion.
Zhuyun was surprised, and quickly raised the fish roe rack higher, away from the fire, and then stood up and walked out of the tent. He saw the officers and soldiers of each battalion hurriedly mobilizing, and a group of one hundred or ten ordnance soldiers were pushing huge siege equipment and shouting trumpets.
They advanced towards Guazhou City step by step; thousands of soldiers wearing military uniforms from Xiazhou, Liangzhou and Suzhou, leading camels carrying cyclone cannons, pulling carts of stone cannons, menacingly
Rushed out of the camp. There were also four people carrying a large crossbow. There were more than two hundred of them. Arrow clusters as thick as spears slanted upwards, shining with cold light in the sun. The archers carried boxes of arrows.
Arrow, running forward at a trot...
Judging from this scene, it was a powerful offensive that had never been used during the siege of the city two days ago. Zhuyun quickly stopped a school captain who was passing by and asked: "The siege started so early today? The three armies do not need to use it."
Meal?”
The captain shouted loudly: "The commander-in-chief has given an order. All armies are taking turns to attack the city. The defenders in the city are not given a moment to breathe. If they want to eat, each battalion must come in turn."
"Drive! Drive! Make way! Don't stop this general from returning to camp!"
Ai Yihai held the reins in one hand, with his arms open and a broadsword on his waist. He shouted arrogantly while leading his more than a hundred bodyguards who were horse bandits. They galloped past with their whips raised and the horses galloped past.
A sky full of yellow sand stirred up from behind my butt.
With a sound of "Hu~~", the mighty wind blew towards his face, carrying the dust raised by the war horse, like a sandstorm. Zhu Yun covered his eyes with his hands, waiting for the wind and sand to roll over before opening his eyes again.
Seeing that the captain had disappeared without a trace just now, Zhu Yunyao snorted and scolded: "This Ai Yihai behaves like a horse bandit..."
She shook her head disapprovingly and turned back to her sleeping tent. Within a moment, she heard an angry scream coming from the tent: "My fish! God damn Ai Yihai!"
On the same morning, the ancient city of Dunhuang was also busy.
It rests on the majestic Qilian Mountains in the south, the vast Lop Nur in the west, the rugged Besai Mountains in the north, and the abrupt Sanwei Mountains in the east. In the middle is Shazhou Dunhuang, the base camp of the Guiyi Army.
There are nine major families in Dunhuang, Shazhou. They are local clans born in this specific land of Dunhuang. Among them, the family with the longest history can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. Since the Han Dynasty, they have been officials in Shazhou for generations and have endured for a long time.
, naturally formed a powerful family force, like a camel thorn with well-developed roots, firmly controlling this desert oasis, and monopolizing the political and economic lifeline of the Dunhuang area for a long time.
The nine major clans are Zhang, Suo, Cao, Yin, Li, Si, Yan, An and Linghu.
Early in the morning, all the "heads" of the major families in Dunhuang were invited by the Zhang family. The Zhang family was over eighty years old, and Zhang Chengxian, who had not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time, suddenly posted a message inviting all the family heads to the house.
How can we not give this face when we gather together?
