Chunyucen nodded slightly: "Then what do you think?"
Xiao Shilue hurriedly said: "It is very likely that several phoenixes will lead their troops to detour to the north and attack our army's flank from north to south, echoing Han Guo in the city. But it is also possible that they will rush down directly from Qiziling and attack our army's food road. Once the food road
Being cut off, our army's food and grass supply can only rely on the local area and Fenglingdu. The former will inevitably be affected by the strong walls and clearing the country. Duowu forts in Hedong belong to large and small aristocratic families, but they fight independently. They may not take the initiative to provide us with supplies.
Food, and the latter is a long way away and may also be attacked by the enemy, so once the food route from Mengjin to the north is cut off, our army will be difficult to maintain."
The surrounding generals and lieutenants shuddered immediately. They had never thought about this problem. The Han army's offensive route was determined in Ming Dynasty, and several phoenixes could take different actions at any time in response to the Han army's movements.
, as long as it is hit in the weak spot, it will be fatal to the Han army.
"Then how should we guard against the phoenix?" Chunyu Cen was not surprised at all. He had also thought of this. Now he wanted to see how Xiao Shilue would answer.
Xiao Shilue pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said: "The general thought that we should use elite soldiers to block a few Feng, so that they cannot enter Shaozhou."
"Is this... is this too risky?" a general asked involuntarily.
Xiao Shilue's identity was here, so they didn't dare to protest loudly, but they still had the courage to express their doubts.
"Of course, Qiziling is tall. If we want to block the phoenixes, we have to face the phoenixes' condescending attack. However, our purpose is not to capture Qiziling, but to prevent the phoenixes from going down the mountain." Xiao Shilue has obviously thought of this.
One point, "I think you all know something about the topography of Qiziling. Qiziling belongs to the remnants of the Taihang Mountains, and it also inherits the characteristics of the Taihang Mountains. Most of the mountains are steep cliffs, and often only a few valley roads are passable, and even up and down the mountains there are many roads.
We need to rely on the plank road. This means that it is not easy for us to go up the mountain, but it is not so easy for the enemy to go down the mountain."
The generals and captains looked at each other, not expecting this.
"As long as we can block the entrances and exits of several valleys and plank roads, and send scouts back and forth to patrol, then even if we know that Shaozhou is in urgent need, we can only squat on the mountain and not be able to move forward or retreat." Xiao Shilue said with a smile, "
We can even send cavalry to cut off the enemy's food route from Hanoi to Qiziling, forcing the enemy in the mountains to have no food. Let's see how long they can hold on."
"Wonderful!" One of the generals couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed.
Xiao Shilue couldn't help but show a proud look.
Xiao Shilian's excellence made Xiao Shilue always want to get rid of his identity as the brother of the hussar general and get a chance to prove himself. Now he finally has some clues, and of course he is proud of it.
Chunyu Cen said coldly: "Although this plan is clever, the risk is very high. Once there is a path in the mountain that is not noticed or there is a valley that is difficult to guard, and if it is finally broken through by a few phoenixes, the entire partial division may be
Being trapped in a dangerous situation, not to mention losing troops and horses, is more likely to shake up the entire situation in Hedong, do you know?"
A basin of cold water was poured on his head, giving Xiao Shiluo a jolt.
His expression changed, and he immediately stopped smiling, and said seriously: "Back to General, risks and benefits have always coexisted, rising and dying together. Since we want to kill two birds with one stone, we must bear the corresponding risks. Among them
The pros and cons will be understood in the end. Once the troops arrive at Qiziling, not only the scouts, but also the local white robes and others must rely on them. We must not allow the enemy to leave Qiziling and head west."
Chunyucen breathed a sigh of relief.
Not bad, at least this kid hasn't gotten carried away yet and knows how much he weighs.
"Then do you dare to lead a partial army and contain some Phoenix for me?" Chunyucen asked immediately.
Since this plan was proposed by Xiao Shilue, it is naturally most appropriate for him to complete it. It can also satisfy Xiao Shilue's long-term wish to be ready for battle. Otherwise, he would have been frustrated if he had kept him by his side.
But if Xiao Shilue didn't want to do it, Chun Yucen wouldn't force it.
After all, this guy is still young and this mission is very dangerous.
Xiao Shilue looked up at Chun Yucen and said with a smile: "My father went to the battlefield with the former Emperor Chen Wu before he was crowned. Before my brother was crowned, he followed Lao Sikong (referring to Wu Mingche) and my father to go north to Huainan. Today, although I rarely rush, I still dare to stand alone and still have the courage to fight."
General, please rest assured."
Chunyu Cen nodded slightly. It is well known that there are no cowards in the Xiao family. Xiao Maha's deeds of riding a hundred cavalry in the camp are still good stories in the military today.
"Tiger father has no dog son, don't let me down."
Xiao Shilue solemnly handed over his hand.
"Take care!" Chun Yucen cupped his hands towards Xiao Shilue, then waved, "Cross the river!"
The generals agreed one after another and returned to their respective camps.
"Prisoner Guards, cross the river!"
The next moment, orders sounded everywhere.
The south bank of the river was illuminated by raised torches, and a long winding dragon spiraled down from the hills on the bank and extended into the river.
The weather was getting warmer these days, and the ice on the river had become thinner. Chun Yucen simply cut through the ice and transported troops and horses by boat. This was better than the ice breaking through and causing the men and horses to flip over.
The navy ship that was opening the way in front simply threw the Thunderbolt from the ship, and the ice exploded one after another. The other side should also have heard the movement, and sentries appeared, but facing this mighty dragon, what they could do
All he could do was turn around quickly and report the matter to Wubao in the distance.

Luoyang, Nuanxiang Pavilion.
Li Xingchen put down the memorial and looked at the hourglass hanging on the wall.
Calculating time, the Imperial Guards should cross the river.
Sending the imperial guards across the river was actually not a very good choice for Li Xinchen. After the spring, the Han army would also attack Hanoi and even directly sweep across Hebei. Of course, the requirements for military strength were also great.
This time Chun Yucen led 8,000 imperial guards across the river, which directly weakened the offensive capabilities of the Han army next year. Especially, both the quality of individual soldiers and the ability to fight in groups are among the elite of all armies. Therefore, these 8,000 troops
If they are really pulled out, they may not be worse than the other 10,000 or even 15,000 soldiers, not to mention that the equipment of the Imperial Guards is also the best of the best.
But other than that, Li Xingchen had no choice. He could only hope that the imperial guards could help Yang Su quickly open up the situation and stabilize Hedong. In this way, Jinyang could be contained by heading north, and Hanoi could be threatened by crossing Qiziling eastward. This is a disguised form of
Still, this group of troops was devoted to the attack on Hanoi.
Yu Chizhen carefully delivered the half-month financial expenditure list of the Imperial Household to Li Xingchen. His Majesty was obviously thinking about something. After being with His Majesty for so long, he still has the ability to observe what is happening.
"The imperial government has spent a lot of money this month?" Looking at Yu Chizhen's expression, Li Xingchen also had an idea.
