Several people looked at each other, and each seemed to have no answer. Che Buchi said doubtfully: "If Tianyu Sect dares to conquer Nanzhou, it must be supported by the three factions of Xiaoyao Palace. Not to mention other things, it is because of Niu Youdao's ability.
Against the entire Tianyu Sect? He himself has to look at the face of the Tianyu Sect and rely on the Tianyu Sect to gain a foothold, otherwise he would have been killed long ago."
Haozhen shook his head: "You underestimate him too much. This person is far-sighted and has a back-up plan. It's not that easy for Tianyu Sect to move him. He already has something to check and balance Tianyu Sect in his hand. He's just good at forbearing. He doesn't
Just let others know."
Several people were surprised, and Gao Jianhou asked: "What checks and balances does he have in his hands? No one knows, how does the prince know?"
Haozhen waved his hand and said: "It's not that I won't tell you, but that I can't tell you. Knowing some things may not be a good thing."
…
The Xiaoqi Army stayed in the main camp in the capital. After the dynasty was dismissed, Huyan Wuhen did not go home, but arrived directly at the military camp.
Zha Hu accompanied Huyan Wuhen and went straight into the Chinese army tent.
Two generals in the tent were standing in front of a marked map, pointing and discussing something. When they heard the call of "The general has arrived" outside, they looked back and quickly stood in a row, facing each other and saying:
"General!"
Hu Yanwuhen said "hmm" and walked to the map. He stared at a specially selected map of Yan State's Nanzhou. It was full of criss-crossing evolutions of the enemy and ourselves, and asked: "Are they all marked?"
A general said: "Based on the intelligence collected from Nanzhou, the battle situation from beginning to end has been mapped out. Even if there is an error, it shouldn't be very big."
This is also something Huyan Wuhen has explained before.
To other types of people, the Battle of Nanzhou in the Yan Kingdom might be just a victory or defeat, or a battle of interests, but in the eyes of the generals who led the battle, it was extraordinary. Six hundred thousand versus eight hundred thousand horses,
Moreover, the latter still had sufficient logistical supplies, but it collapsed in just a few days!
The battle ended so quickly. Hu Yanwuhen believed that not only he was surprised, but also the generals of other countries would be surprised. As long as they had the conditions, they would pay close attention to this battle and try their best to collect the situation of this battle in order to understand it thoroughly.
What exactly is going on in this battle?
Huyan Wuhen glanced at the map and asked, "What do you think of this battle?"
A general said: "This is an unheard of and never seen example of a battle. The purpose is not to destroy the enemy, but it greatly reduces the damage to the people's livelihood in Nanzhou. This alone is a great merit. This is an extremely superb battle.
A diversionary battle to disintegrate the enemy's army in a diversionary manner. Nearly 1.4 million people and horses were entangled. It was complicated but not chaotic. Without a superb command, the game would collapse at any time. This battle is quite classic and can be set as a model for us to learn from.
The conclusion drawn is that this is probably not Feng Lingbo’s handiwork.”
Huyan Wuhen's eyes swept back and forth on the map, and he slowly answered, "It should be Meng Shanming!"
The two generals looked at each other. They considered the entire battle situation for a long time before coming to the conclusion, but they didn't expect the general to reveal it.
Huyan Wuhen reached out for the information compiled by the general, then raised his hand again. After the second general exited the tent, he lingered in front of the map, looking through all the battle situations compiled in turn, and looking up from time to time.
The troop strength on the map is increasing and decreasing.
Cha Hu remained silent and stared at the map to look at the formation. However, he was not good at this. The situation between the enemy and ourselves on the map was too complicated. It gave him a headache to look at it, so he turned his head and looked aside.
After reading the information in his hand, Hu Yanwuhen stood straight in front of the map and examined it for a long time, which lasted almost two hours.
Someone outside came in to ask if they wanted to have a meal, but Zha Hu waved his hand and dismissed him.
"Alas!" Huyan Wuhen suddenly let out a soft sigh.
Cha Hu came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huyan Wuhen pointed at the map and said with infinite emotion: "As soon as the war started, all the 600,000 troops under his command abandoned their baggage and rushed forward without any reservation. If there was even the slightest mistake, the entire army might be annihilated. This Mengshan Ming
You really dare to play. One elite unit kept a close eye on the enemy's commander, mobilizing the entire enemy force, while the rest of the unit made a thousand turns, delaying most of the enemy's troops from the overall situation, and cooperated with the elite unit to attack the elite troops and kill 800,000 enemy troops.
The army was manipulated between the palms of hands, and 800,000 enemy troops were smashed into pieces. This Meng Shanming is really a master, amazing. If we meet on the battlefield, he will definitely be my strong enemy! It's a pity that this man may die soon.
!”
Cha Hu was a little surprised, "How can I say this? Even if he has a fatal injury, as long as he is not helpless, so many monks will not be able to cure him, right?"
Hu Yanwuhen: "This morning, the court was discussing the situation in Nanzhou of the Yan Kingdom. According to the intelligence obtained by the court, the Shang Chaozong's troops have been cut up and transferred to pieces. They cannot be easily gathered. Looking at this situation, it is to deprive the Shang Dynasty.
Chaozong's military power, and then supporting Feng Lingbo, the Shang Chaozong is likely to have been controlled by Tianyumen, and Meng Shanming has been the confidant of Shang's father and son for two generations."
Cha Hu: "General, are you saying that Tianyumen wants to kill Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming?"
Huyan Wuhen: "If he hadn't been commanding this battle, he might still have a way to survive. The key is that he fought so well in this battle, I'm afraid Tianyu Sect can no longer accommodate him."
Zha Hu was surprised: "If you win, can you still make mistakes?"
Huyan Wuhen said melancholy: "The human heart is despicable and can swallow a tiger. Throughout the ages, how many strong men have fought for their family and country for the rest of their lives, but did not die on the battlefield but fell under the despicable human heart? Too much is not enough! Those people in the court did not analyze it.
Wrong, Tianyu Sect’s strength is limited, and it will enter a period of maintenance. The Shang Chao Sect is not in their interests, so the Shang Chao Sect’s military power will be lifted. In this case, how can we not cut off the Shang Chao Sect’s powerful wings?”
"If Shang Chaozong is obedient, he is Feng Lingbo's son-in-law after all, and Peng Youzai's grandson-in-law. Considering the impact, he may be able to save his life, but Meng Shanming will undoubtedly die. If he wants to kill Shang Chaozong, Meng Shanming will do the same.
He has to die, and it is impossible to give Meng Shanming a chance to defect to others and take revenge. This time, Meng Shanming may not be able to escape!"
Cha Hu understood and couldn't help but "tsk tsk" and shake his head.
Huyan Wuhen put his hands behind his back and said: "As a general, you should clearly discern the time of heaven, favorable terrain, and people. What is the right time of heaven?"
He stretched out a finger and pointed at it, "What will happen to a general who only knows how to fight but does not know the timing of the situation? What can he do if he can fight again? It is often not the enemy on the opposite side that can cause a fatal blow, but the people above.
There is no room for you above, and it will be useless no matter how hard you fight. The generals who can really gain a foothold in the court are not simple and pure warriors. Meng Shanming followed Shang Jianbo and fought hard, and finally ended up with a disability and retired sadly.
This time, following Shang Jianbo's son Shang Chaozong is even more dangerous. Isn't this because he doesn't know the right time?"
Hearing this, Zha Hu couldn't help but look at him twice, and found that to some extent, these words seemed to mean that he was no longer simple and pure. Isn't this a general who has established himself in the court?
"What a pity, what a pity!" Huyan Wuhen, who took two steps back and forth, looked back at the map and shook his head again.
…
In the government office of a newly occupied city, Feng Lingbo went straight to the backyard after finishing his official duties.
Peng Yulan, who was chatting and laughing with several ladies at the door of the backyard, turned to face Feng Lingbo who was approaching and asked: "Are you done?"
Feng Lingbo hummed and asked, "Where is father?"
"Father is waiting for you." Peng Yulan replied, and then reminded in a low voice: "The big deal has been decided, and father will lead everyone back tomorrow, and go to Nanzhou Fucheng first... Niu Youdao ran away, Tianyumen's drink interests
Facing huge losses, the three major sects cannot afford less offerings, and it is estimated that they will have to squeeze out some from the wealthy households in Nanzhou Fucheng to meet this year's offerings."
Feng Lingbo nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then walked into the depths of ***'s house. Peng, who was talking under a big tree, glanced at Feng Lingbo who was walking towards him, waved his hand and stepped away.
After Feng Lingbo came forward to salute, Peng asked Fang again: "Is there any problem in the follow-up?"
Feng Lingbo smiled and said: "Don't worry, father, everything will go well!"
Peng nodded again, and then asked casually: "Where is Meng Shanming?"
Feng Lingbo lowered his voice, "I have just sent someone to send a message to Meng Shanming. On the pretext that he is good at fighting, and we need to ask him to give guidance and cooperation for some finishing work, let him stay first. Shang Chaozong and others asked them to stay tomorrow.
Go back first with your father and separate them!"
Peng Zai said coldly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, don't leave any clues, otherwise you will know the consequences."
Of course Feng Lingbo knew the consequences. Once the Shang Chaozong knew about the commotion, he would have to deal with the Shang Chaozong as well, and it would be difficult to explain to his daughter. In addition, there were some things that were disgraceful, and Tianyumen would never want to do so.
The outside world knows about the killing of heroes by crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, especially Meng Shanming, a figure who has a certain influence in the entire Yan State military. If word spreads about it, he has a bad reputation and has too much influence. It can also easily chill the hearts of the officers and soldiers in Nanzhou.
What do you think of Tianyumen? It’s not good for people’s hearts.
"There will be no clues left. The remnants of Zhou Shouxian have not been wiped out yet, and no one knows where they are hiding. It is normal for them to attack on the way." Feng Lingbo said softly.
The small courtyard in a house not far from the government office is quiet, with a few birds chirping occasionally in the trees.
In the yard, Meng Shanming sat quietly in his wheelchair. A general sent by Feng Lingbo spoke respectfully, presented a sealed document with both hands, and then left.
Meng Shanming opened the document and read it. Luo An, who was pushing the wheelchair behind him, muttered: "Feng Lingbo is self-aware and knows that he needs Meng Shuai's help and guidance."
"Princess!" The general leaving from the courtyard gate happened to bump into Shang Shuqing who came in, and he bowed his hands politely.
Meng Shanming quietly put the document in his hand into his sleeve.
After Shang Shuqing came over to give the gift, she asked strangely: "Uncle Meng, what are Feng Lingbo's people doing here?"
Luo An was about to speak, but Meng Shanming blocked him first, "Nothing, I just came to say hello, just to show off."
Luo An was speechless. He didn't know why Meng Shanming didn't tell the truth. But when Meng Shanming said this, he couldn't say anything more.
Shang Shuqing took Luo An's hand and pushed the wheelchair around the yard.
The sky was high and the clouds were vast. Meng Shanming, who was looking up for a while, quietly asked, "Is there no news from Master Tao yet?"
"Not yet!" Shang Shuqing shook her head.
Meng Shanming was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed quietly: "Princess, I am old, I really want to see the day you get married!"
