Chapter 2170 Lian Po is not old, can he still eat?
His Majesty came to visit in person, which Xiao Mohe never expected.
To be honest, he himself could hardly remember where he was when he last saw His Majesty. Perhaps it was a court meeting when the capital of Han Dynasty was still in Jiankang Prefecture.
The life of being relegated to the second line is indeed a bit boring.
However, Xiao Mohe was actually very pleased to see that his two children had already achieved success. After all, if you gain something, you have to pay for it. Xiao Mohe knew very well that his biggest weakness in this life was his lack of political ability.
He is a fierce general who dares to fight and charge, and has never been afraid of anyone when it comes to killing enemies. But he is indeed a loser politically. In history, Xiao Mohe devoted himself to fighting for Nanchen, but in the end he was not even affected by Chen Shubao
He was so fond of Chen Shubao that even when he was fighting on the front line, his family members were harassed by Chen Shubao.
Although Xiao Mohe in this era is not so unlucky, he has also experienced the direct political struggle between the East Palace and Chen Shuling, and he is still very clear about how much he has. The Xiao family has already given birth to a Xiao Shilian.
, now Xiao Shilue has also emerged in the previous Northern Expedition. Since he has no way to ensure that the father and son can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai inside and outside the court, it is not a bad thing for everyone to simply stay away from the court.
Anyway, I took the initiative to make concessions in order to avoid suspicion. You can't go after me and criticize me endlessly, right?
Although Xiao Mohe was unwilling to retire at this time, for the prosperity of the family and for his two children to gradually grow up, all these efforts are worth it.
Today, Li Xingchen actually came to the door. This was something Xiao Mohe never expected.
"I see your Majesty!" Xiao Mohe hurriedly greeted him.
Your Majesty came very quickly, and didn't send anyone to notify you in advance. The weather was hot, so you didn't need to think about it to know that Xiao Mohe must have been naked at home. Otherwise, he wouldn't be wearing clothes now, and even the belt was crooked.
Revealing a bit of bronzed muscle.
Sensing the direction of His Majesty's gaze, Xiao Mohe said awkwardly, "I don't know that Your Majesty is here. He is taking a nap in the rocking chair in the courtyard in the morning. His clothes are disheveled, which makes Your Majesty laugh."
Li Xingchen smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I already have the heart of a wandering cloud and wild crane, so why bother to pay attention to worldly etiquette. However, I see that I don't have any fat on my body, so obviously I don't really intend to be a wandering cloud and wild crane."
Xiao Mohe was stunned for a moment. What does your Majesty mean?
Don't worry, I don't want to be an idle cloud and a crane.
Although I really don't want to, at this time, I'd better behave myself. This will be good for everyone and won't cause trouble to anyone.
However, Li Xingchen had already said this, and Xiao Mohe naturally could not deny it outright, so he could only say: "I have been in the army for a long time in my early years, and developed the habit of getting up in the morning to exercise. After many years of hard work, if I just keep it with a little attention,
, but it won’t be abandoned.”
Li Xingchen smiled and said: "Lian Po is old, can he still make a living? I think General Xiao is far from being as old as Lian Po."
Yang Su, who had been smiling and silent behind Li Xinchen, couldn't help but nodded and agreed: "General Xiao is still in his prime. He is idle at home and taking a nap on the porch. Such leisure and freedom is a bit excessive."
Xiao Mohe and Monk Zhang Er were immediately confused.
Stop making trouble. Aren't you afraid that you guys might cause trouble when you are at home? Aren't you afraid that if your majesty really listens to some rumors, the three of us, father and son, will not even know how we died?
"This is ridiculous." Xiao Mohe was a little confused, but he also knew that this was definitely not the place to talk, so he immediately welcomed Li Xingchen and Yang Su into the study.
Li Xingchen did not refuse, holding Xiao Mohe's wrist, looking very happy, and started to move forward. Xiao Mohe originally wanted to stay half a step behind and ask Yang Su what was going on. At this time,
I can only bite the bullet and move forward with Li Xingchen.
In the study room, what comes into view in the middle is a huge sand table. Without looking at the labels on it, just looking at the khaki color, you can tell that it must be the northwest. Sure enough, in the center of the sand table, there are two words "Wuwei" written on it.
characters, and the offensive and defensive status of the enemy and our armies are all arranged on the sand table, which is extremely clear.
Looking again at Xiao Mohe's desk, the book spread out is "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, and there are several history books scattered nearby, most of which are local chronicles related to the Hexi area.
Li Xingchen couldn't help but look at Xiao Mohe, with a teasing look on his face. Xiao Mohe couldn't help but blush, but in any case, he, a general who had retreated to the second line, was setting up a sand table at home to entertain himself.
What did you do wrong? There is no explicit rule that generals cannot deduce war situations at home after they retire or leave officialdom. Some generals even serve in military academies. Sand table deductions and the like are something they do every day.
contacted.
Li Xingchen thought of something, put away his smile, and couldn't help but sigh: "It is my fault to let my general have great ambitions but can only work behind closed doors."
Xiao Mohe was startled and said hurriedly: "Why did your Majesty say this? I am resting at home and have nothing to do. Now there are still many juniors fighting in the world. I am happy to tease my grandson."
Li Xingchen waved his hand. Xiao Mohe was obviously worried and scared, so he might as well get straight to the point:
"The war situation in the northwest is tense now, and you should be aware of it. The enemy is attacking Wuwei from the northwest, and the key point of Wuwei is on the south side. Once the Qiang people from Huangshui move north, the line from Tianshui to Jincheng will be threatened. At that time, Wuwei
The southern side should be entirely owned by the Qiang people. The Qiang people can directly threaten our defense line when they leave the Qilian Mountains. Therefore, a line of troops and horses must be sent directly from Hanzhong to the Huangshui River. General Chunyu stationed in Hanzhong is already old and cannot easily make this move.
Crossing mountains and ridges is an important task to make a surprise attack on the enemy's rear. Therefore, Yang Aiqing recommended to me that you, Aiqing, be the commander of this partial division. You will go straight to the Huangshui River and break the Qiang camp, forcing the Qiang people not to leave the Huangshui River, let alone half a step around the Taoshui River.
I wonder what the general’s intention is in attacking Wuwei?”
Xiao Mohe suddenly trembled.
Leading troops into battle is naturally a dream for him.
However, he also knew that it was dangerous. Even if he did not consider the impact of his return to the mountain, simply passing through Wudu from Hanzhong and going deep into the enemy's garrison would be an out-and-out effort to go deep alone. Historically, this was not the case.
There is no shortage of famous generals to follow such a path. Jiang Wei and Deng Ai once competed around the Wudu and Tazhong areas, and Deng Ai's sneaking to Yinping, which became famous in the final battle, was actually related to this area.
The mountains are high, the water is far away, and there are many mountains. How can it be so easy to walk?
This means that not only the troops are going deep alone, but also the logistics, food and grass supplies, etc. may be unsustainable.
