Humane Yongchang

Chapter 502 In the pocket of the cone
The orange candlelight casts a warm and ambiguous atmosphere on the misty bath.

Chen Sheng was lying on the edge of the bath, his eyelids twitching in comfort.

With a ruddy complexion, Zhao Qing half leaned on his strong body, carefully washing his long hair soaked in water.

"Da Lang, I want to go back to Handan..."

Zhao Qing said suddenly.

Chen Sheng regained consciousness a little, and put his arms around his wife's plump body: "Why do you suddenly want to go back to Handan?"

Zhao Qing let go of his long hair, like a vine entangled with a big tree, gently leaned on him, and said in a low voice: "I dreamed of A Niang a few days ago, and since I entered the house, I have been here again. I couldn't visit A ​​Niang's tomb to worship, and I don't know how tall the grass around the tomb grew..."

Listening to her guilty and depressed words.

Chen Sheng also felt a little guilty... He has been passing by Handan for many years, but he never thought of going back to see it for her.

"It's time to go back and have a look."

He said: "In this way, tomorrow I will send the guard of honor first, and it will take a long time to travel from Jinling to Handan. When I come back from southern Xinjiang, our family will take a big horse to go there. Grandma kowtows."

Zhao Qing uttered another word, but hugged his broad arms tightly, as if wanting to rub his hot body into his body.

Chen Sheng felt more and more guilty, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, we can move the tomb of the mother-in-law back to Jinling when we go back. In the future, we can bring big cows and two horses to worship on New Year's Day, so as to avoid mobilizing people again." no?"

He vaguely remembered that Zhao Qing once said that there were father and brother in her family, but father and brother were idle, mean and ungrateful people. They wanted to exchange her for money since they were young. It was her mother who desperately protected her, and her mother As a result, he became sick from overwork and passed away early. Even the funeral was handled by the Chen family caravan...

For such a family, if her mother's tomb remains in Handan, I'm afraid no one will care about it, and no one will take care of it, and they will simply move back to Jinling. At least as long as the blood between him and Zhao Qing continues, it will not be broken. incense.

Speaking of which, Chen Shou is already working on rebuilding the ancestral graves of the Chen family, including the ancestral graves of the merchant Chen family in Chen county and the ancestral graves of the Chen family in Yangcheng, Sizhou.

Zhao Qing rubbed his shoulder: "You are in charge, and everyone will listen to you."

Chen Sheng smiled, narrowed his eyes and enjoyed this moment of peace with peace of mind.

Zhao Qing: "Are we going to fight again?"

Chen Sheng: "It's almost finished, I'll go and have a look..."

Zhao Qing tightened his arms again, pressed his cheek against his shoulder for a moment, then suddenly said: "How long has it been since you saw A Yu?"

"what?"

Chen Sheng's mind was dazed for a while, and he woke up again after dozing off: "If you don't mention it, I really didn't realize it. It seems that I haven't seen that girl for a long time... Is she sincerely avoiding me?"

Zhao Qing sighed lightly, and said, "What kind of a girl is she? Our Ah Yu is already a big girl."

Chen Sheng broke free from his wife's embrace, turned around and looked at her: "Haven't we already discussed this issue?"

Zhao Qing pushed his face, pressed him back to lie on the side of the bath, and put it on his back again: "But this matter, it doesn't matter if we just talk about it, A Yu has to nod." Count."

Chen Sheng wondered: "What's wrong, she doesn't even look down on the handsome young man from the civil and military family of the Manchu Dynasty?"

Zhao Qingqing said naturally: "Which young handsome man can compare to my Dalang?"

Chen Sheng was angry: "Listen to what you mean... Blame me?"

Zhao Qing snickered.

Chen Sheng said helplessly: "Then tell me, what should we do about this matter?"

Zhao Qing curled her lips: "What else can we do? We can't really just watch Ah Yu turn into an old girl, can we?"

Chen Sheng thought for a while, and whispered: "There is always a way, right? Otherwise, let Ah Yu go to Jixia Academy for a walk? What if I can meet someone pleasing to the eye?"

Zhao Qing got angry, and showed the demeanor of the eldest sister back then, pointed at his forehead and said loudly: "How can you be like this? The old men of other families are sneaking around all day long, why do they behave like this when they come to you?" How hard is it? Haven't we been a family all these years? Do you really have the heart to see Ah Yu marry another man?"

After a pause, a hint of ridicule suddenly appeared in her eyes: "You can't be too young, can you?"

"Can I do it, you don't know?"

Chen Sheng bumped his head on her angrily: "It's business, don't drive!"

"Okay, okay, don't drive, don't drive!"

Zhao Qing stroked the top of his head to follow his temper, and then said: "The concubine just really can't figure out why Da Lang is so stubborn about A Yu."

Chen Sheng leaned back to the edge of the bath and said softly, "It's not me, it's you."

Zhao Qing put his chin on his shoulder and pressed against his cheek: "No matter who is right or who is wrong, how about just being a concubine this time?"

Chen Sheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Is there someone gossiping in your ear again? Don't hide it from me, you know I can find out!"

As if he could see his face, Zhao Qing stretched out his hand to gently smooth his brows, and whispered in his ear: "No one whispers in my ears, and I just see A Yu depressed all day long. I can't bear it, and I don't want our family to break up like this..."

Hearing what she said, Chen Sheng couldn't help but think of those days in the Chen Family Compound in Chen County, and his heart softened immediately.

He pondered for a long time before sighing softly, "Give me some more time, I'll think about it again."

Zhao Qing heard the softening of his attitude, and breathed a sigh of relief.

If Chen Sheng turned his head at this moment, he would see her eyes, which were extremely complicated.

……

The next day.

"Retreat!"

Meng Yi's energetic shout resounded through Yanqing Hall.

All civil and military officials clasped their palms together and shouted in unison: "Respectfully send off my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After Chen Sheng got up and turned into the screen, he exited the Yanqing Hall, and Meng Yi led a group of visitors who carried the memorials and followed behind him step by step.

Chen Sheng took off the crown on his head while walking: "Meng Yi."

Meng Yi quickly stepped forward: "The humble minister is here."

Chen Sheng: "Go to the attendant's room and check if there is any report on the Southern Border battle!"

Meng Yi raised his hand: "Wei!"

Chen Sheng quickly turned into the side hall, and as soon as he opened his arms, three palace servants stepped forward to take off his gorgeous and cumbersome gown and put on a black background with gold patterns.

At the right time, Meng Yi returned to the side hall, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is no report of the Southern Xinjiang battle from the attendant's room. I have ordered Tu Shanyao, the deputy head of the squad, to send the report of the Southern Xinjiang battle as soon as it arrives." Immediately submit it to His Majesty for review!"

Chen Sheng held up his hands and wandered around the hall twice.

With Bai Qi's temperament of acting after making a decision, if he was going to close the net today, he would have sent the battle report back to Jinling last night. Counting the time, it should have been sent by this point!
Since there is no battle report from Southern Xinjiang yet, it shows that the conditions for collecting the net have not yet fully matured...

He must have personally rushed to the southern border to supervise the battle.

In this campaign, Bai Qi has already assembled an army of 50 from the Suzaku Military Region, and the total troops invested by both the enemy and us have exceeded 80!

If this battle is won, the battle in southern Xinjiang will immediately enter the stage of counterattack across the board.

But if this battle is defeated, the elite of the Suzaku Military Region will be wiped out, and the situation in southern Xinjiang will be corrupted to the end. At that time, elite troops will have to be dispatched from the White Tiger Military Region and Qinglong Military Region to go south to support.

As the saying goes, mobilizing the whole body with one move, one defeat, the day of the big man's counterattack and the rise of Huaxia, will be postponed by at least ten years!

How much manpower and material resources will be consumed in ten years?
How can he be at ease if he doesn't supervise the battle in such a crucial battle second only to the Battle of National Fortune?

But no matter how worried he was, he couldn't go too early!
His limelight is already too strong!

Sheng was already a little overwhelmed by the whole army, which meant that they couldn't straighten their backs.

He discovered more than once that no matter how much role he played in any battle he personally participated in, the soldiers who participated in the battle all attributed the greatest credit to him from the bottom of their hearts. He won the battle because he commanded well...

This is not good!

He can temporarily serve as the incarnation of the belief that "princes and generals should be kind to each other", inspiring the whole army to work together and fight bravely.

But he cannot be the brain of the entire army, and let the entire army pin their hopes of winning the battle on him alone.

Because he alone cannot command more than 200 million Han soldiers.

Therefore, he must wean the entire army!
This campaign is an excellent opportunity.

Bai Qi's talent is beyond doubt.

He is also tracking the strategic deployment and execution of this campaign.

If it is even such a sure-fire battle, he is not at ease.

What are you talking about weaning the whole army?

In a sense, what needs to be broken may not only be the dependence of the entire army on him, but also his overly strong concern for the soldiers of the Han army.

'Well! '

Chen Sheng kept his pace and made up his mind: "As the saying goes, a loving mother always loses her sons. If she never lets go, they will never grow up!" '

He said, "Meng Yi, what's the schedule for today?"

Meng Yi was stunned for a moment, carefully looked at his face from the corner of his eye, and tentatively said: "Return to Your Majesty... to approve, to review the memorial?"

Chen Sheng:  …

As far as the trivial and moaning at the meeting today, there is an egg review value!
He said directly: "If you don't have an appointment, then go arrange the frame. Let's go out of the city to see the spring plowing situation...Use the auxiliary car, remove the guard of honor, wear inner armor, walk behind, and don't disturb the people!"

Meng Yi bid farewell: "Wei!"

Standing in the hall, Chen Sheng released his Yuanshen to quickly sweep across Jinling City for a hundred miles, and quickly found Lu Shu's aura.

He sensed Lu Shu's aura carefully for a moment, and praised in his heart: "The great master has passed halfway, and this old apprentice is quite up to date!" '

Looking at all living beings from the perspective of Yasheng, the aura of Grand Master Lu Shu is as dazzling as a bonfire in the dark night.

Within a hundred miles of Jinling City, there were only two people with a grand master-level tyrannical aura, one was Lu Shu and the other was Han Fei.

Han Fei's aura was stronger and more obscure than Lu Shu's aura, and it belonged to the kind of image where Chen Sheng would find it difficult to see exactly where he had reached on his road to becoming a saint if he didn't settle down to investigate carefully.

As we all know, Lu Shu is a sure-fire sub-sage.

From this, it can be seen that Han Fei's background in attacking Yasheng is stronger than Lu Shu's!
As of now, among the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, apart from Han Fei and Lu Shu, there must be Bai Qi who has already enlightened and embarked on the road to becoming a saint.

……

The young short soldier, carrying a food box, entered the commander's tent lightly.

He first took a look at the grilled meat and broth that had condensed and condensed on the handsome table, and then he couldn't help but secretly glanced at the motionless chief of staff on the sand table, opened his mouth, but Still didn't dare to interrupt the chief of staff's thoughts.

He could only sigh in his heart, opened the food box, took out steaming broth and corn rice, replaced the cold roast meat and broth, and then quietly exited the handsome tent.

And Bai Qi, who was standing in front of the sand table, didn't notice anyone coming in and out of the handsome tent at all!
He had tangled gray eyebrows, bloodshot eyes in his cloudy eyes, holding a sword in one hand and constantly measuring the distance between different directions, and holding a war chess representing the Bolang Army in the other hand.

"Keng!"

He suddenly put his sword back into its sheath, freed his hands like pulling weeds, quickly pulled up the war chess pieces on the sand table, and re-inserted them.

Finally, he solemnly inserted the last Bolang Army war game in his hand into the empty space on the sand table, completing the sealing of the encirclement!
In an instant, a triangle formed by pieces of war chess representing Bolang Army Qu-level combat units appeared on the sand table.

This encirclement is more than fifty miles in size and is formed by the mountains. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is a river valley that looks like a flat river. It takes a very careful observation to find that there are only Three exits for the army to enter and exit...

And the Bolang army, with the only three exits as a fortress, surrounded the open land like an iron barrel!
"Keng."

Bai Qi drew out his sword again, and while measuring the distance of each blockade line, he calculated the pressure on the blockade line.

At the right time, Kong Xun hurried into the account, and saw the shining long sword in Bai Qi's hand at a glance, and then followed the long sword to see the formation of troops on the chess sand table, and blurted out: "Close the door and beat the dog? It's a desperate battle!"

His exclamation made Bai Qi suddenly think of something, put his sword back into its sheath again, and pulled out and inserted his hands frantically on the weapon sand table.

Then, under the previously complete triangle, there is an extra tail...

When he looked down at the entire sand table again, his tangled brows finally loosened: "The plan is settled!"

Kong Xun leaned forward, pointed to the tail under the triangle and asked, "General Bai, this is..."

Bai Qi: "The Baiyue people escorted the soldiers and horses transporting grain and grass!"

Kong Xun was startled, stepped forward and covered the tail with a slap, stared intently at the whole triangle, pondered for a long time, and uttered three words: "I can't stop it!"

From the moment Bai Qi separated the Baiyue people's food and grass from the main force, he already knew what Bai Qi wanted to do.

If it's just for ambush, then there is no need to separate the Baiyue people's food and grass from the main force.

On the contrary, allowing Baiyue's main force to bring food and grass into the encirclement will also help in ambush.

After all, food and grass are a burden, so a lot of soldiers and horses are allocated to protect the food and grass, right?

When necessary, they can burn the food and grass of the Baiyue people and destroy their morale.

But if you separate the main force of the Baiyue people from the food and grass... Then, you have to be prepared to fight the Baiyue people!

Because of the Baiyue people's counterattack, there will never be any temptation or buffer!

Every battle is a decisive battle!
And the only advantage of doing this is: as long as you can withstand their breakthrough, then you don't have to work hard to defeat them, they will be defeated, disintegrated, and even kill each other!

This is especially true for the Baiyue people, a "coalition army" that is composed of countless Baiyue people and has an extremely weak affiliation relationship.

"There is no need to worry about insufficient troops!"

Bai Qi replied calmly: "The old man has urgently dispatched the 20 garrison army from the Changsha Zhuque military region to the south. Once our department completes cutting and encircling the Baiyue people, the 20 garrison army will complete their replacement within two days!"

He has already finalized the strategy to meet the enemy long before the start of the war, including the general execution direction and step breakdown, he has a clear idea.

What remains unresolved is the manner of the decisive battle.

After all, no matter how carefully arranged a strategy is, there will always be variables, and the superposition of variables will make the results very different.

Any brilliant commander is definitely not an elm lump who only knows how to apply mechanically and follow the scriptures.

In fact, in the process of luring the enemy to go deep, Bai Qi considered decisive battle methods such as water attack, fire attack, battalion attack, half-cross attack, etc. according to local conditions, but finally gave up because the damage was too small.

As for the Tuntian Army, long after he completed the "gathering the enemy" stage, he had already sent the military order to deploy troops back to the Changsha Suzaku Military Region.

He only used the Bolang army to meet the enemy, because he was worried that there would be too many troops to scare the Baiyue people, and in order to confuse the Baiyue people and make the Baiyue people underestimate the enemy and rush forward.

After the goal is achieved, only a fool will show off his bravery with the Baiyue people!
Behind the seemingly simple strategy of "luting the enemy to go deep and encircle all directions" is actually the result of countless details and choices piled up.

This may be that you can only work effortlessly if you work very hard.

Kong Xun witnessed Bai Qi's operation the whole time, and he could understand the intention without Bai Qi's further explanation. Immediately pressing the sword, he said in a deep voice with burning eyes: "Then when can we do it? Our Bolang Army is waiting for this One day, I have been waiting for too long..."

Bai Qi pondered for a while, and asked, "How much will the Baiyue people send troops today? How many times will they charge into the formation?"

Kong Xun replied: "At present, the Baiyue people have sent 17 troops, and they are all in line!"

Bai Qi shook his head: "The heat is not enough, let's wait another five days!"

Kong Xun frowned, bit the corner of his lip unconsciously, and blood spurted out, but he still didn't say a word, just clasped his fists to accept the order: "Here!"

He took a last deep look at the sand table, pressed his sword and hurriedly exited the tent.

After Bai Qi watched him leave, his eyes fell back to the sand table again, and he said firmly with a sentence of piercing eyes: "Five days later, Qi will shake the southern border!"

The cone is in the bag, and the end can be seen immediately!
