Volume 1: Wars and Troubles, Section 21: Takeover of Linfen(1/2)
The information about the special forces team members was finally sent over. Luo Yu summarized the battle reports from all parties: Zhu Yuanzhang had arrived in Jincheng and successfully took over the defense of Jincheng. He immediately recruited troops to expand his strength. A special operations team member had been enlisted and was serving as a junior in the cavalry team.
The captain had ten men. After receiving the news that night, Ding Yanping wanted to make a sneak attack behind the infantry formation of the Youwu Army. The Youwu Army was not in disorder at all and had to give up the charge and retreat to Yuncheng. Wang Bodang's troops seemed to be rebelling.
, Cheng Zhijie had to mobilize supplies and military tents and let them station outside Yuncheng. Perhaps this is the reason why Dou Jiande did not attack the Youwu Army. Qin Qiong's troops and horses are all hidden in the mountains and are currently safe; the Turkic cavalry in the direction of Shuozhou has
At the sign of invasion, Li Yuan has sent troops to rescue.
The long-awaited direction of Xuzhou has finally come to fruition. With the addition of Zhao Kuangyin and the 300,000 troops mobilized, Yang Guang has millions of people around him. Wang Bo's troops are gradually shrinking. Currently, there are only Xuzhou, Suqian, and Suzhou.
If a few places are still stubbornly resisting, they will be destroyed sooner or later.
Liu Hei Clan and Song Jingang's soldiers and horses in the Hebei direction stirred up the storm in Cangzhou, with vague shadows of Mongolian cavalry. These Han scum who have forgotten their ancestors, Luo Yu really wanted to attack them immediately, cut off their dog heads and play them as footballs. He hated it the most
This kind of collusion with foreign people, China has just experienced the Five Husties, and the Han people were almost killed and became a minority, and they don’t have a long memory!
The war reports from the south seem to be of little value. People such as Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and others are difficult to develop and achieve great things due to their poor geographical location and poor mountains and rivers.
However, Xue Ju in the northwest should pay attention. This man is brave and invincible. In Luo Yu's time and space, even Li Shimin was beaten away by him and did not dare to confront him head-on. If he had not died of a sudden illness, it is hard to say that the Tang Dynasty would have been defeated by Xue Ju.
Replace it.
After sorting out the useful information, it was already midnight. Today is February 16th. The further north you go, the colder it gets. Because the tents brought by Niu Jinda are limited, most of the sergeants can only sleep outside at night, around the campfire.
We were chatting and talking, but I didn’t feel so cold anymore.
When I came to Li Xiuning's tent, I signed up and waited for a while before I heard Niu Jinda say: "Come in!" It turned out that he was also here.
The two of them had been busy marching since they confided in each other the day before yesterday. In order to prevent Dou's army from sneaking a surprise attack, Li Xiuning was supervising the troops in the front army, and Luo Yu was guarding the middle army. They had to receive intelligence at any time, and they couldn't move away, so the two could not see each other at all.
Face, who can understand the pain of lovesickness!
After finally getting out of Dou Jiande's sphere of influence, the pursuers retreated, and they had the opportunity to have a meal together. Before they finished, they were dragged back by a large amount of information. They had no choice but to turn around and leave amidst Li Xiuning's laughter.
Before, Li Xiuning quickly kissed Luo Yu's forehead and quickly returned to the tent with a blushing face. Luo Yu shook his head and smiled happily. This was an unexpected surprise.
After two hours of decoding and classifying and summarizing, I got the above news and came to Li Xiuning excitedly. Unexpectedly, Niu Jinda was also there, probably coming to discuss military affairs with Li Xiuning.
I opened the curtain and entered the handsome tent. I was stunned for a moment. There were five people sitting in the small space. There were huge candles lit with candlesticks in the four corners. There was also a charcoal stove in the middle, and an iron pipe stretched out to
Outside the tent, this is what Luo Yu taught them.
Li Xiuning sat in the middle, with Niu Jinda at the top on the left, Xu Shiji at the bottom, Li Xiaogong at the top and Yue Yun at the bottom on the right. The five of them looked at him with half-smiling faces, waiting for him to speak. Pei Yuanqing wanted to supervise the army, so he didn't come.
Luo Yu blushed and said with a smile: "Where can I sit down?"
After everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter. Niu Jinda stood up and said, "Just tell me, this kid can't speak according to common sense. We all lose!" After saying that, he said to the other three people: "Let's go, it's not a show."
Got it!"
Luo Yu was confused. When he came in and saw that there was no seat, why should he ask where to sit? Seeing that the four of them were leaving, Li Xiuning blinked at Luo Yu and saw that he was holding a stack of paper in his hand, and said hurriedly: "Luo Yu sent information
Okay, why don’t you four give me some advice?”
This is to rescue Luo Yu, and it is also to help the four of them step down. What more can a husband ask for when he has a wife like this? Luo Yu lost no time and said: "Yes, some information really needs four advisers, otherwise you will tire me to death."
And Xiuning!" After saying that, he ignored their glares and shared the information in his hands with them, then sat on the steps in front of Li Xiuning, waiting for them to speak.
The four of them stopped playing around and began to watch the show affectionately. After reading it, they exchanged views and read them all again. After having a general understanding of the situation, Niu Jinda spoke first: "From what I see, the end of the Holy Emperor's side is almost over."
Wang Bo could not hold out for much longer in the battle. Taking advantage of the power of the great victory, he gathered millions more troops and rushed to Liaodong in April or May. He could destroy Goguryeo in half a year. He was quite confident!"
Li Xiaogong said: "The country is already full of wars. Even if the Holy Emperor can destroy Goguryeo and delays his return to the army for another half a year, we won't know whether the Sui Dynasty will still be there..."
Xu Shiji said: "I doubt whether the Holy One knows the situation in the country. He has millions of soldiers and more than two million civilians. Not to mention southern Xinjiang, the Central Plains area has ten houses and nine empty houses, and there are Mongolia in Hebei."
People come and go, I'm really afraid that they will drive straight down and threaten Luoyang."
Yue Yun said: "It's hard to say if Xue Ju of Longyou leads his troops to conquer Qinzhou directly, he can march to Chang'an. There is no information coming from Tibet in the west, but I always feel that Songtsen Gampo will not miss this opportunity.
The young people in the southwest, northwest and northwest have also been drained of energy. From this point of view, we are really surrounded by enemies on all sides."
Good guy, it’s better if you don’t say it. Once you say it, you and I will directly sentence the Sui Dynasty to death. Li Xiuning didn’t read the military report. After listening to it, he got a general understanding. Seeing that several people were in low mood, he opened his mouth to analyze: "
The situation is not so bad, right? Take Xue Ju from the northwest as an example. If he wants to go south via Qinzhou, he must first conquer Qinzhou. Have you forgotten who the defender of Qinzhou is?"
Niu Jinda's eyes lit up: "Yes, why did I forget him? Yuwen Chengdu, the son of Yu Wenhuaji, has a courage that is unmatched by ten thousand men. He can stand up to Xue Ju."
Li Xiuning added: "There is no need to worry about Songtsen Gampo. Ludongzan's rebels are enough to give him a headache. News came from the caravan that Sunlight City has been conquered by Ludongzan's son Qinlin. Songtsan Gampo
He has already retreated to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and he still wants to raise troops to invade?"
This news is very important. Luo Yu did not send special forces over there because there were more than 20 horsemen there, the same 20 people who arranged for them to sell horses on the plateau after capturing Jieli last year. They directly contacted Li Xiuning.
So Luo Yu didn't know the news over there.
Li Xiuning looked at Luo Yu and whispered: "It's just that there is no news about grandpa yet..." Luo Yu had almost forgotten about looking for grandpa, because he made up this grandpa and did not exist at all, so there was no news about him.
He didn't take it seriously, but Li Xiuning kept it in mind and had been arranging to inquire about the news. He was moved and said softly: "Don't worry, he is an old man and a good person. I believe there will be a day when we can meet again." But there was something deep in his heart.
Infinite loss, all relatives and friends in future generations may never be seen again.
Xu Shiji added: "The defender of Changshan is Luo Yi. He is also a strong general. It is not easy to pass his level. So after all, the most dangerous one is Dou Jiande. He can intimidate Luoyang by going south and attack by crossing west.
Chang'an, if you go north you can ally with the Turks, if you go east you can contain Changshan..."
Luo Yu said: "He will not join forces with the Turks, because he is a Han, and his subordinates are all Han. Risking the disdain of the world and joining forces with the Turks will only result in more losses than gains; nor will he threaten Luoyang. Uncle Wang is in Nanyang, and now he is in Nanyang."
Leaving two-thirds of the troops in Yuncheng, according to the intelligence, they should break away from Dou Jiande and attack Luoyang from the north and the south. Dou Jiande's strength does not allow him to compete with Wang Bodang for Luoyang; let alone the westward crossing, that section of the Yellow River is pouring out like the sky, isn't it?
So easy to cross; his only way out is to go east. There is Li Mi's remnant army in Changzhi and Zhu Yuanzhang's rebels in Jincheng. He can only take advantage of the two men's unstable foothold to abandon the Shanxi territory and use lightning speed to cover up the entire area.
The army attacked, killed these two people, and then went to the southern part of Hebei where the troops were empty and started again..."
After everyone listened, they thought it made sense. The land of Hebei is suffering from wars all year round, even more so than Shanxi. It reaches Hengshui in the north, Hebi in the south, Liaocheng in the east, and Handan, Xingzhou, etc. in the middle. This large area is sparsely populated.
The land is fertile, and it is really easy to lead troops there to establish a foothold, then cultivate the land, collect grain, train troops, and establish political power.
Luo Yu added: "Dou Jiande is a man with a delicate mind and a reputation for generosity. Once he establishes the Yuan Dynasty and establishes the country, there should be many capable people with lofty ideals to join him. If Wang Bodang joins forces with him to attack Zhengzhou and Kaifeng again,
Then the land of the Central Plains will change. I hope my worries are unfounded..."
Li Xiaogong said: "If this is true, the Holy Emperor's way of returning to the army will be cut off. If Liu Heitai and Song Jingang lead the Mongolian cavalry south again... No, we have to prevent this from happening."
Li Xiuning said: "This is just a conjecture. Not to mention whether Dou Jiande will join forces with Wang Bodang, even if they are coalition forces, they may not be able to attack Zhengzhou and Kaifeng wholeheartedly. Both of them are old foxes with many evil thoughts. Besides,
, will the Holy Spirit's Eastern Expedition definitely fail? Goguryeo is a small country with only two to three million soldiers and civilians. Excluding the old, young, women and children, the entire population of the right age to join the army will be three to five million. It is not difficult to defeat it with a fortified city.
With all the land and water routes together, are you still afraid that you can’t destroy your country?”
Luo Yu said: "In addition to the dangerous terrain in Liaodong, the main reason is the cold weather. Half of the year is freezing weather. That kind of cold cannot be overcome by wearing more clothes. The Eastern Expedition Army is not used to the cold there, and there will be a lot of non-combat casualties.
That’s all, now let’s see if the Holy One will go north immediately after killing Wang Bo.”
After a pause, he then said: "What is the purpose of our army going north to Taiyuan now? If it is as I suspected, Dou Jiande will abandon Linfen and ignore it. I don't agree with our army going north to Taiyuan. Tang Gong has 60,000 people in Taiyuan.
Troops, horses, and food are in short supply. Our army has entered Taiyuan City again. Where will the food and grass for 150,000 troops come from? I think it would be better to take this opportunity to seize Linfen, and then move south depending on the situation, take Changzhi and Jincheng, and use this triangular terrain as a base.
, so that we can keep an eye on Dou Jiande heading east, and by the way, also keep an eye on Zhengzhou and Kaifeng, and prevent them from attacking each other, wouldn't it be better?"
After hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment. Li Xiaogong stood up, patted his head and said with a smile: "Yes, our army does not need to go north to Taiyuan anymore. The five thousand soldiers and horses sent by Tang Gong before will be added to our army, and there will be one hundred thousand soldiers and horses."
It is still possible to surround Linfen, not to mention Dou Jian’s reinforcements are far away in Yuncheng..."
Luo Yu said, "No, we will surround three buildings and give up the south gate to Dou Jun so that they can break out and deal with Li Mi and Zhu Yuanzhang. We will decide everything based on the situation tomorrow."
The strategic goal had been finalized and it was time to find a way to implement it. It was getting late. The four of them stood up to leave, leaving Luo Yu and Li Xiuning to exchange their feelings. Before leaving, Niu Jinda patted Luo Yu on the shoulder with a smile, as if
Said: "Boy, keep an eye on you!"
Li Xiuning blushed and patted the chair next to her, motioning for Luo Yu to sit over. Then she didn't dare to look at Luo Yu, who picked up the information and looked at it carefully.
Luo Yu's sixteen-year-old body contained the soul of a man in his thirties. In later generations, he also loved his girlfriend very much. Ever since he came here, he often dreamed of her, but now he can never see her again. A heart
It was always empty, but I didn't expect that this empty space was filled bit by bit by Li Xiuning. It wasn't until I couldn't hold anyone else anymore that I realized that I was hopelessly in love with Li Xiuning.
From the initial inferiority complex, feeling unworthy of Li Xiuning, to Li Xiuning expressing her love for him, almost half a year passed. During this period, there was suffering and joy, joy and sorrow, joy and sorrow, by the Ziwu River
, Luo Yu almost lost Li Xiuning. At that time, he already had her in his heart, and he was satisfied if he could do something for her, so he sent a special force and went out with the army. In fact, Luo Yu asked himself whether he could live better in Chang'an without following the army.
How are you now? The answer is yes, at least you don't have to run around so hard. If you make a wrong step, your life will be in danger at any time.
But before Li Xiuning spoke, he followed her without hesitation. Did he want to have an exciting military career? Obviously not, he just wanted to follow Li Xiuning, because he missed her when he couldn't see her. Sometimes he could even guess what she was thinking.
Youdao means that the body does not have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but the mind has a clear understanding.
Looking at the unparalleled beauty Li Xiuning in front of her, she slowly approached, slowly sat down, and slowly reached out to hug her from behind. The unique scent of a girl's virginity came from her nose. There was no need to say anything, everything was said without words. It was time to say goodbye to the dream.
Already.
Li Xiuning's delicate body trembled. She had never been hugged by a man in such a long life. Smelling the masculine scent on Luo Yu's body, she put down the things in her hands with a smile, turned her delicate body, and stretched out her arms to hug Luo Yu's.
Shoulder, head resting on his shoulder.
The two hugged each other tightly, feeling the feeling of their ears and temples rubbing against each other, enjoying this peaceful moment.
Luo Yu spoke first: "Xiuning, you are enough for me in this life." He was answered by Li Xiuning's red lips. Although it was just a kiss on the lips, it already meant that the relationship between the two had entered a period of passionate love.
He wanted to hug him for a while longer, but Li Xiuning pushed him away and said with a bad smile on his red face: "Get some rest early, I have important things to do tomorrow..."
Luo Yu said in shock: "You took advantage of me and wanted to run away. No way, I want to take it back!" After saying that, he was about to kiss him, but was pushed away by Li Xiuning. She somersaulted out, and her silver bell-like laughter echoed.
In the night sky: "Be obedient and take a rest!"
Luo Yu had no choice but to admit that Li Xiuning had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his kung fu was very good. He could ride a horse and carry a gun to kill the enemy. It was a piece of cake to deal with people like Luo Yu who were not diligent in their limbs.
