Under the hall, the candles flickered. Wang Jun was wearing a bright red wedding dress. She held the hem of the dress carefully with both hands, as if she was worried about being stained by the soil, revealing the tips of her small embroidered shoes. Under the candlelight, her beautiful face looked as white as snow, with thick eyelashes.
Under the cover, her beautiful eyes are as deep as a spring, but they reveal a firm will.
Yin Peng, the elder of the Wang clan, Wang Zang, Wang Yan, Huo Li, Huo Xiao and other disciples who were having their fill of wine and food sat there in a daze, unable to figure out what was going on for a while.
Han Qian didn't even attend his own wedding. He wanted to take advantage of the Shouzhou Army's paralysis and carelessness and directly lead his troops to raid the enemy camp on the day when the wedding was approaching?
Wang Jun guessed this and decided not to attend her wedding without crying or making trouble. She wanted Han Qian to take her with him to raid the enemy camp?
On a happy day for a couple, they rush into the bridal chamber without going to the bride's house to get married, and lead the troops to sneak attack on the enemy camp?
What's going on?
After all, Yin Peng was well-informed. At this time, Han Qian and others did not need to explain. They could also imagine that the postures seen on the south bank of the Chu River today were a planned large-scale gathering of Tangyi's elite soldiers and horses.
This large-scale gathering can be said to be a display of force, and it can be said to protect the wedding from enemy troops. Of course, it can also be pulled out and penetrated to Chaozhou or Chuzhou as quickly as possible to kill an enemy soldier.
Caught off guard, steal an enemy camp or two to add beauty to the wedding.
It's just your wedding day, is it necessary to play with such heartbeats?
Not to mention Chuzhou City and Chaozhou City, Shouzhou's main cities on the southern line, after nearly a year of sparing no effort in construction, most of them have thick walls and the generals are extremely vigilant.
Even if a city is defended by only one or two hundred people, it is not easy to defeat it.
Four to five thousand people traveling in light vehicles and rushing over at the fastest speed can catch the enemy by surprise. If the enemy's reinforcements want to gather in, they cannot come so fast.
However, in order to ensure the suddenness of the raid and to ensure a rapid march, they could not carry a large number of bulky weapons for attacking the city. Other combat supplies must also be saved as much as possible and reduced as much as possible.
At this time, just relying on the swords, bows, halberds and spears in the hands of the generals, no matter how many people there are, it is definitely not easy to take down a strong fortress guarded by one or two hundred people in a short period of time. It may require a lot of effort.
Multiple casualties.
In this case, what’s the point of a surprise attack?
It's just a heart-beating game that outweighs the gains. You may also be complained by the generals below, which will dampen morale.
If you want to carry the war equipment for attacking the city and a larger amount of combat materials to the enemy's defense line, or advance under the enemy city and use local materials to build war equipment, then the marching speed will either be slow and unable to achieve surprise.
The purpose of a quick raid is either to delay the attack or to delay the attack. Enemy reinforcements have already gathered from all directions before the enemy can formally attack and seize the stronghold.
This will defeat the purpose of launching a sudden attack.
Unless the enemy's southern defense system established with the two cities of Chaozhou and Chuzhou as the core is bypassed, thousands of elites will penetrate deeper through the gaps in the defense line and enter the hinterland controlled by the Shouzhou Army such as Shouzhou and Huozhou to find weak defenses.
Conduct a surprise attack on the target?
Thinking of this, Yin Peng sat upright in horror.
Isn't this too courageous?
To go deep into life
The launch of an offensive in the hinterland controlled by the state army meant that this surprise attack could never be as simple as staying in the enemy's hinterland for only three or five days.
Even if there was no need to pay attention to Liang Jun on the north bank of the Huaihe River, Xu Mingzhen could still assemble tens of thousands of elite cavalry in four or five days to pursue and intercept the raiding troops.
This means that Han Qian is ready to lead a surprise attack into the enemy's hinterland and fight against the main force of the enemy's cavalry, which has an absolute advantage?
Hearing that Wang Jun rushed into the hall wearing a bright red wedding dress and said that he would go with the army, Tian Cheng, Feng Xuan, Gao Shao, Zhao Wuji and others were first surprised, and then they all looked at Han Qian expectantly, hoping that he would agree.
They did not strongly persuade Han Qian to stay and get married, because they knew that in this raid deep into enemy territory, the morale of the soldiers was the key to achieving the expected results.
Therefore, neither Tian Cheng, nor Feng Xuan, nor Gao Shao could replace Han Qian and shoulder the important task of commanding the troops for this raid deep into enemy territory.
At least for now, if they want to organize a raid, they can only lead more than a thousand elite troops to fight. The distance of the raid will not be too far, and the time spent in the enemy's territory will never be too long.
Only when Han Qian personally leads the troops can the four to five thousand elites be able to penetrate deeper into the enemy's territory at a greater distance, stay in the enemy's territory for a longer period of time, and have the courage to fight against the enemy's superior strength.
If the bride, Wang Jun, could lead the troops with Han Qian on the wedding day, wouldn't the blood and courage of the generals be stimulated to the point of wailing?
Han Qian also knew that Wang Jun was smart, unconventional, and unconventional. He stood up with his hand on the desk and said loudly: "Okay, you will lead the army with me..." He stepped forward and took Wang Jun's cold little hand.
Then he walked back to the long desk and sat down side by side. He signaled the attendants on the left and right to remove the leftovers on the desk, moved in more long desks and futons to sit on the floor, and sent orders to the battalion commanders and deputy commanders who gathered in Wushou Hexi tonight.
Military attachés and generals at the battalion command level were summoned and a mobilization meeting for the raid was held overnight.
Yin Peng, the elders of the Wang clan, Wang Zang, Huo Li and other children all stood up and left to avoid suspicion, and went to the temporary camp to rest first.
"Wang Zang and Huo Li have been assisting my father in running the army since they were young. They have read several books on military affairs. They may not be useful weapons, but they should be able to raise their swords and whips in front of their husband's tent this time to exert some strength.
." Wang Jun said.
Wang Zang, Wang Yan, Wang Che, Huo Li, Huo Xiao and other five people, together with more than a hundred households of slaves as dowries, will move to Tangyi to settle down after Wang Jun and Han Qian's wedding.
Although this would be seen by some as a sign that Wang was betting on both ends, Wang Jun still insisted on it.
Wang Wenqian has always played the role of counselor and official, active beside Xin Wang Yang Yuanyan, and presiding over Yangzhou's military and political affairs has only happened in recent years.
This has led to the fact that some of the Wang family's descendants who are qualified to serve as officials are currently only holding some auxiliary, not particularly important official positions.
However, Wang Zhan, Huo Li and other young commoners who were not qualified to serve as officials became unknown in Huaidong.
This is almost the first time that these people have come into contact with everyone in Xuzhou.
During the banquet just now, although Yin Peng intended to help, introduced them all, praised their talents, and hoped that they would have a good future in Tangyi, but to be honest, Han Qian did not leave much for them.
deep impression.
Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and others also thought that they were brought here by the new wife Wang Jun. They were also used by the new wife Wang Jun first, and they would be used later.
It will not be too late to re-employ them after gradually observing whether they have talents and whether they will be loyal to Tangyi.
However, everyone did not expect that Wang Jun would directly recommend the two of them to join the army at this time.
Yin Peng and the two Wang clan elders were shocked.
Reconsideration of the marriage itself is an extremely embarrassing matter for the Wang family.
What's more, the Korean and royal families have been involved in too many grievances in the past few years, and this marriage is more like a naked political deal.
It was also because he was worried that Wang Jun would be in trouble when he married into Tangyi and his status would be embarrassing, so Yin Peng insisted on seeing off the bride regardless of the possibility of being suspected by Wang Xin Yang Yuanyan, Ruan Yan and others.
He didn't expect that Wang Junxian insisted on leading the army with Han Qian before he went to the church to get married. After this abrupt request was agreed, he directly recommended the Wang family's children who had not gained the trust of everyone in Xuzhou.
Join the army in battle.
Can you really be so willful?
If she was rejected by Han Qian on the spot, wouldn't her position be in jeopardy before she became the mistress?
Han Qian looked at the Wang family's children in front of the hall who were about to say goodbye and left with a gloomy expression. Wang Zang and Huo Li had worked hard for years and practiced martial arts, and their postures became taller, stronger, and more heroic; others
The three of them are weaker.
When others were guessing what he was thinking of saying to reject Wang Jun, Han Qian turned his head, glanced at Wang Jun, and extended his hand to invite Wang Zang. Huo Li stayed and said: "The Military Intelligence Staff Department lacks two military staff officers. You two will come here this time."
You can choose a team of capable men from each of the Wang family's slaves to accompany me on the expedition."
As the central organization for the operation of the entire army, the Military Intelligence Staff Department not only conducts reconnaissance and analysis of the enemy's situation, but also includes the issuance of combat instructions and logistical supply support, etc. The ration of military attachés is much higher than that of ordinary battalions.
The Military Intelligence Staff Department is usually run by Military Sgt. Ma Gao Shao on behalf of Han Qian, while Guo Que, the Marquis of Du Yu, and Xi Fa'er, the Deputy Marquis of Du Yu, are only responsible for daily affairs.
If the Military Academy is a training camp for grassroots military attachés, then in Han Qian's plan, the Military Intelligence Staff Department can be said to be the cradle of general training.
He has currently stipulated that all generals who are promoted to the battalion commander level must first serve in the Military Intelligence Staff Department for a period of time. Only after the Military Intelligence Staff Department is familiar with the military intelligence combat reconnaissance analysis and logistics support systems can they serve as battalion-level officers.
Commander.
Although the military staff of the Military Intelligence Staff Department is just an ordinary military attaché, Wang Zang and Huo Li have direct access to the core operational secrets of the Tangyi Army. It can be said that Han Qian has full trust in them.
Wang Zang and Huo Li also saw the opportunity and knelt down on one knee to show their loyalty to Tangyi and obey his orders.
Yin Peng glanced at Han Qian and Wang Jun in confusion. He didn't know what the two of them were doing, and he was a little doubtful whether his sending off his bride this time was unnecessary.
However, Wang Yan, Wang Che, Huo Xiao and others did not feel depressed or sad because they could not go out with the army.
They were persuaded by Wang Jun to move their family to Tangyi, but they were still very uneasy and regarded it more as an adventure.
As the children of a commoner, they were not afraid of hardships and dangers, but if Wang Jun could not gain the trust of Han Qian and the Han family in Tangyi, they would be doomed to be inactive for the rest of their lives when they moved to Tangyi, and their situation would even be worse than staying in Yangzhou.
At this time, Wang Tang and Huo Lineng, on Wang Jun's recommendation, directly joined the Military Intelligence Staff Department and participated in secret work. What else do they have to worry about about their future?
