Xia Yu returned to the camp, feeling a little exhausted. This class was really hard work.
"Commander, please rest while I go get dinner for you." Zhang Yu didn't say it was okay, but once he said it, Xia Yu felt a little hungry.
"No need." At this moment, a person came into the tent.
Xia Yu took a look and saw that he looked familiar. It was the guy who seemed to be crazy just now. He couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
"Commander, this servant is Zhang Anan, the chief bodyguard of His Highness the King of Qin. By order of the palace, the military counselor is invited to go to the commander's tent to discuss matters. Dinner is also prepared." Zhang Anan said very politely.
Eunuch!? Xia Yu was stunned, no wonder he looked a little feminine.
He finally remembered why he looked familiar. He had seen this person next to Li Er, and he was huddled aside, as if he was invisible.
But why does this name sound familiar?
Suddenly, Xia Yu thought about it.
Although Zhang Anan was not well-known in history, he was a hidden boss and was very powerful in the Zhenguan Dynasty.
This man served Li Shimin all his life, was loyal and outstanding.
Li Shimin also trusted him very much and made him the commander of the imperial guards throughout his life, and even served as the general of the left prison guard.
It can be said that Zhang Ananda is responsible for the safety of the palace alone.
During the Zhongzhenguan Dynasty, Zhang Anan was the only eunuch who became an official, and Zhang Anan was the only eunuch who became a marquis.
Even in the 17th year of Zhenguan, when Zhang Ananda died of illness, Li Shimin gave him a gift to be buried with him in Zhaoling.
This honor was not only unique among the eunuchs of the Zhenguan Dynasty, but even many famous princes and ministers could not get it.
It can be said that this is a great person like Zheng He, the real number one in the world!
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang." Knowing that the person in front of him was very capable, Xia Yu did not dare to neglect him and greeted him quickly: "Excuse me, please make a trip. Let's leave now."
Zhang Anan was stunned for a moment, quite flattered.
He is a low-key person. He is not conspicuous around Li Shimin, and he never shows off his favor.
Because of his special status as a eunuch, many civil servants and generals around Li Shimin either ignored him or scorned him.
It can be said that no one has ever treated him as an equal like Xia Yu.
For a while, Zhang Anan had a very good impression of Xia Yu: Although the military advisor had some quirks in his life, he was really a humble gentleman.
"Wait a moment, Military Advisor." Zhang Ananda said with a spring breeze on his face: "Your Highness asked your servant to bring you some pens, inks, paper and inkstones. They are gifts from Your Majesty for your royal use. They are worthy of such an elegant person as Military Advisor."
To say that Zhang Ananda was a smart man, Li Shimin asked him to give him some paper. He thought about it, no, it was a bit too deliberate, so he just gave him pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Xia Yu was very happy and did not realize that she had been arranged. She asked Zhang Yu to take the things and went to see Li Shimin.
In the back courtyard of the handsome tent, Li Shimin sat quietly and waited.
"Your Highness, the military advisor has arrived." Zhang Anan and Xia Yu filed in.
"Your Highness." Xia Yu greeted him.
"The military advisor is here, sit down quickly."
When Xia Yu sat down, she saw a large portion of the famous dish of Xixi, "Shuipen Mutton", some popular Hu cakes, and a large bowl of herbal tea.
In the military camp, such food can be considered abundant.
The two of them were eating and chatting. Zhang Anan stood quietly aside, as if he was invisible again, as if he was born with no sense of existence.
"Your Highness is looking for me, but something is wrong?"
"Yes, there are two things I would like to ask the military advisor to help me with."
"Your Highness, please speak."
Li Shimin said: "The first thing is to march south and north. On the southern front, General Shi Wanbao has 10,000 troops and is stationed in Yiyang. I want him to go straight to Longmen and cut off the Yishui River. Do you think it is feasible?"
"It's feasible. There are no generals in the Longmen Zheng Army, so General Shi should be able to do the job."
"On the northern front, I plan to divide it into two routes. On the first route, General Liu Dewei from Hedong will lead 20,000 troops and leave the Taihang Mountains to attack Hanoi (Huaizhou)."
"On the other route, Huang Junhan, the general commander of the march, led an army of 15,000 land and sea troops, stationed at Baiya on the north bank of the Yellow River, peeking at Mengjinguan, and containing the northern reinforcements from Luoyang."
"Does the military advisor think it's feasible?"
Xia Yu thought about the history, nodded and said: "It's feasible. But you have to pay attention to two points."
"Sir, please tell me."
"First, Wang Tai, the son of Wang Shichong, is currently stationed in Huaizhou. He is still very talented and is particularly good at defense. General Liu must advance his troops quickly and attack the city fiercely. He must not give Wang Tai enough
Reaction time."
Li Shimin was surprised: "The military advisor also knows Wang Tai?"
Wang Tai, the pseudo-king of Zheng and Song Dynasty, was only twenty years old, and it was his first time to lead an army and control one side alone. The Tang army did not know much about him.
But he didn't expect that Xia Yu would treasure him very much.
"Of course." Xia Yu pretended to be mysterious and said with a smile: "Although I, the Guigu sect, don't go out of the mountains, I still know the world's affairs."
Li Shimin was frightened and thought that the hidden power of the Guigu sect was quite powerful and that his hands and eyes could reach the sky.
"It is indeed a wonderful family in the world! How lucky we are to have military advisors to help us." Li Shimin was very happy: "What about the second point?"
"Huaizhou and Luoyang are opposite each other across the river, so they are very close to each other. If Huaizhou goes to war, Luoyang will send all its efforts to the north to help. General Huang Junhan will be under great pressure."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "The military advisor is worried that General Huang is not competent?"
Xia Yu thought for a while and said: "Luoyang has many soldiers and generals, and the Heyang Floating Bridge connects to Huaizhou. It can be said that it has an advantage. Although General Huang is extraordinary, I am afraid it will be a bit difficult."
Li Shimin pondered and said: "What the military advisor said makes sense. But whether it works or not will only be known after fighting. Let General Huang give it a try. If there is a mistake, we can reinforce it at any time. What does the military advisor think?"
"Okay." Xia Yu smiled: "It's just a local war. A slight delay will not miss the big event."
"Then it's settled, I will issue military orders overnight." Li Shimin said enthusiastically. He is a decisive person who will implement it immediately once he makes a decision.
"By the way, in the morning, I heard what the military advisor said about General Zhai, and I felt uneasy all the time, so I looked for him in the afternoon."
Xia Yu was stunned and said hurriedly: "His Highness, did you tell the truth?"
"No." Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "How can we explain this metaphysical matter clearly? If General Zhai doesn't believe it, I'm afraid he will still resent the military advisor."
"Then what did His Highness say?" Xia Yu asked curiously.
"I just said that General Zhai was serving in the Xuanjia soldiers, and he was a bit unqualified. He wanted to transfer him to lead the army alone. I don't know what his intentions are."
Xia Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with this reason and asked, "General Zhai agrees?"
Li Shimin sighed, with a bitter look on his face, but said nothing.
Xia Yu was a little confused and glanced at Zhang Anan.
Zhang Ananda had no choice but to say: "Military advisor, General Zhai reacted very strongly and asked if some villain had made slanderous remarks to His Highness and doubted his loyalty."
Ah!? Xia Yu suddenly turned green: Damn, I have such good intentions, why have I become a villain!?
"When it came to feeling sad and angry, General Zhai actually drew his sword and crossed his neck, saying that although he was a surrendered general from Xue Ju, he was completely loyal to His Highness. If Your Highness doubted him, he was willing to die to prove his will!"
"..." Xia Yu was stunned: Damn it, this Zhai Changsun is actually such a dynamite! He panicked: "Then nothing happened?"
Zhang Anan smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness was in a hurry. He tried to comfort him again and again, but said that he had no other intentions. If General Zhai was unwilling, then he would give up. With such persuasive talk, the excited General Zhai was coaxed and persuaded to go back."
"..." Xia Yu was speechless: Isn't that all the hard work in vain?
"Military advisor, what do you think we should do?" Li Shimin looked depressed. It was so maddening to encounter Zhai Changsun's bad temper, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
"How about we use troops in the future and let General Zhai go into battle as little as possible?" Xia Yu was also very confused. After thinking about it over and over, he came up with an idea that was not his idea.
"That's all it can do." Li Shimin sighed.
"Your Highness," at this moment, someone outside shouted: "I, Old Cheng, want to see you."
It was Cheng Yaojin's voice.
Li Shimin was stunned, wondering why Cheng Yaojin was here, so he called: "Come in."
Cheng Yaojin rushed in furiously: "Hey, the military advisor is here too? Your Highness, what did you say to Lao Zhai this afternoon? After he went back, he kept a straight face and drank alone."
"When I asked him what was wrong, he said that His Highness doubted him. When I asked him again, he didn't say anything. He only pulled out his sword and wiped it. It made X's hair stand on end."
When Xia Yu and Li Shimin heard this, they both panicked: Is this guy going to commit suicide because he can't think about it anymore?
Everyone knows that the more straight a person is, the easier it is to get into trouble.
"Quick, go take a look." Li Shimin suddenly felt like his butt was on fire, and a gust of wind rushed out of the tent.
Xia Yu and the others also hurriedly followed like rabbits hit by an arrow.
