Chapter 183 Tie Yileng 10 Deploying Troops and Generals
Yuhui led the army to the north, shouldering the job of showing off, but she could not delay the important task of rescuing the king of Qi, so she discussed with the three core generals Liang Shuang, Li Ke, and Du Ze in the army, and decided to order Li Ke to lead [-] troops to march quickly Day and night, they rushed to Linjiang Pass to support, and the corresponding food, soldiers, horses and ships followed closely behind.

Li Ke himself is a straightforward and quick-tempered person. He received a lot of favors from the Yao family back then, and he only cared about King Qi, so naturally he would not neglect the military situation.Zhu Yunying, the gatekeeper of Linjiang, is mature and prudent and good at defense. He complements Li Ke, who is good at attacking. It should not be a big problem to rescue King Qi and contain the Jiangbei Liwei army.

The cities facing Huaguo Xuanguo across the river are all called Linjiangguan, which is a place name inherited from ancient times.In the past, when the relationship between the two countries was good, Linjiang Pass did not distinguish between each other, and cargo ships shuttled between the two passes on the river without stopping.In the past few years, the relationship between the two countries has been tense, and Linjiang Pass has been blocked one after another.The common people are also strictly divided according to their nationality, and private contacts are not allowed.In order to manage and separate the military in the future, Huaguo called Jiangnan's own Linjiang Pass as Nanguan, and Jiangbei Xuanguo's territory as Beiguan.

Li Ke thought that he would use his superior force to first seize the river channel near Nanguan and the favorable terrain on both sides of the bank. If he still couldn't find news of King Qi, he would concentrate his forces to capture Beiguan of Xuanguo in the north of the Yangtze River.At that time, it is impossible for Li Wei to watch Beiguan fall, and he will definitely lead his army to reinforce and get involved in the battle.In this way, Li Wei's army can be tied to Beiguan.

The Liwei camp is entrenched on the side of Beiguan, guarding the main traffic routes.The traditional route of the Northern Expedition, one is to storm the North Pass, and then go northeast after breaking through the North Pass. The fifteen gates along the way are all connected by post roads. The terrain is flat and endless. The other route is where Li Wei is currently guarding. Behind Li Wei's camp is Jinghu Lake, which is connected to an artificial canal, leading directly to the Bihe River, which in turn connects to the Zhuhe River.And the Pearl River is the main artery flowing through Xingcheng, the capital of Xuanguo.

The land near Jinghu is fertile and the climate is warm. It is the main food producing area of ​​Xuanguo, and it is also close to Huaguo. People in Xuanguo used to transport grain and grass materials northward through Jinghu.In recent years, in order to prepare for the war, almost all the production of Jinghu Lake has been detained at the nearby pass, and only a very small number of royal offerings will be transported northward.

Yu Hui and Liang Shuang think that Li Wei is very far-sighted. Li Wei's goal should be to guard the waterway to the north of Jinghu Lake. He probably made up his mind a long time ago to see that the National Congress of China is advancing northward with the water supply model, so it is very interesting. It may not be possible to divide troops to support Beiguan.The containment plan proposed by Li Ke may not be realized.

Even once the Chinese army fell into the battle for Beiguan, Li Wei would lead his army across the river to raid Nanguan.Because of the superiority of Xuanguo's cavalry, the south pass is opened, and the road south to Pingcheng is a plain, which is very suitable for taking advantage of Xuanguo's military strength.Fortunately, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Hua had already deployed a large number of fortifications at various city gates on the plain, and stationed troops and grain.

From the perspective that the emperor hoped to take care of the overall situation, Li Ke's reinforcements should have been carefully prepared to attack the Jinghu route so as to attract Li Wei's attention more easily.As for the king of Qi, he can only hope for good luck and meet Hua Guo's rescuers as soon as possible.

In the White Tiger Nuan Pavilion, the emperor decided the route for the Huaguo army to go north.That is another waterway besides Mirror Lake.The starting point is Jinzhi Pass, west of Linjiang Pass.

The great river forked at Jinzhiguan, one branch was the river at the junction of Huaguo and Xuanguo, and the other branch was named Qishui, and went northeast to the hinterland of Xuanguo.In the early years of Xuanguo, there was a far-sighted emperor who built canals and built canals, connecting the main streams of Qishui and Zhuhe in the country, and reached Xingcheng in all directions. This not only increased the transportation capacity of various parts of the country, but also diverted water from south to north Alleviate the drought in the north.Reluctantly, subsequent generations of emperors did not pay much attention to water conservancy construction, and the existing projects were carelessly maintained and abandoned year by year.There are two canals that can be used now, one connects Jinghu to Bihe, and the other connects Qishui and Zhuhe.

The section of the canal between Qishui and Zhuhe is relatively shallow. If you use a large boat, you must pull it manually from the shore, which is not as smooth as the Jinghu line.However, although the waterway of Jinghu Lake is smooth, the terrain along the coast is very gentle, and it is easy to expose to the attack surface of Xuan Guo soldiers, which is more difficult to control.

Another route is to detour around the eastern sea, from Qingmin Port to the Zhenhe River and go westward to Xingcheng.However, the east coast is full of hidden reefs, the wind and waves are violent, and it is quite difficult to go upstream against the wind and current.Occasionally, there are cargo ships traveling downstream from Xingcheng, from northwest to southeast.If this route is not to be used, it is more suitable for Xuan Guo to invade the south.Therefore, the defense of the ports in the east coast was increased in the territory of Huaguo.

The emperor of Huaguo finally chose to go north from Jinzhiguan because he liked the steep mountains on both sides of the Qishui River and the Pearl River, which could avoid large-scale cavalry blocking.Only the canal in the middle is in an open area, and the river channel is shallow, and it needs to go ashore to tow a large ship, so it is most likely to be attacked by Xuan Guo's army.This is exactly the difficulty of the northbound route.

However, Yuhui's idea is to fight steadily. Now that the control of Dajiang has not been won, the problem of that section of the canal can only be thought about in the mind. Maybe there will be more accidents when the fight really happens.Of course, if all goes well, maybe there is no need to go through the canal when you get out of Qishui, and you can directly transport troops, food and grass by land.

Yuhui set up the first station of the headquarters in Pingcheng.

Pingcheng is the central city in the north of China. There is a waterway from Pingcheng to Jinzhi Pass, and the land road to Linjiang Pass is flat, and the distance is not far.The coach is based in Pingcheng and can take care of the progress of the two aspects at the same time.After advancing northward from Jinzhiguan, the headquarters followed the large forces and gradually moved northward, but Pingcheng was still an important backing.

After Yuhui arrived in Pingcheng, she stationed 20 troops outside the city, and the command post did not occupy the yamen facilities in the city. Everything was settled in the camp outside the city.Then, while waiting for the troops that have been dispatched to various places in the border every year to gather at Jinzhiguan, the first phase of strategic deployment is carried out, preparing to control a certain range of waters upstream and downstream of Jinzhiguan, and at the same time open up the Qishui Pass to the north.

Yuhui, as the Marshal of Zhengbei University handpicked by the emperor, arrived in Pingcheng, and the main officials from the local and surrounding towns came to welcome her.Yuhui was entangled in official business and entertainment, and it took two days to calm down. She deeply realized that the spokesperson of the military's image is also hard work, and she was a little more admirable for King Qi's ability to be calm and calm under the admiration of the powerful.

Seeing off the last group of visiting guests at nightfall, Yu Hui hurriedly ate her meal without delay, changed into casual clothes and brought only A Li, Ying Yang, and Ying Liu, and left the camp to head straight for Pingcheng.

The person Yu Hui most wants to see in Pingcheng is Su Mian.

On the way back to Beijing, she was in danger along the way, and Bai Shuangying rescued her many times. Yu Hui was too embarrassed to ask the truth, but she only got the news from Bai Shuangying that she would no longer pester Su Mian.Afterwards, Yuhui got married one after another, and was busy with public and private affairs. Her contact with Su Mian was all mentioned in a few words in the work report documents of the Northern Intelligence Network.

Su Mian said that he used means to force Bai Shuangying to give him the fetal crystal, and he also gave Bai Shuangying the antidote. There was a clean grievance between the two on the surface, but in fact Su Mian was able to secretly manipulate some forces of the Peony League.Su Mian only said to reassure Yuhui that Bai Shuangying would not take advantage of the family business in the north, but she never mentioned his own situation.

When Yuhui accepted her side-husband's marriage to the prince, Su Mian wrote her own letter to congratulate her. The presents were rich, but the words in the letter were reserved, with more than polite blessings, and the feelings gradually drifted away.Yuhui got bad rumors from other sources, saying that Su Mian was ill and that Qingfengmingyue was responsible for the business and information network affairs, and that Su Mian herself was not seen by anyone except Qingfengmingyue.

Yu Hui guessed that Su Mian had entered the child-rearing period, and was afraid of being gossiped about being unmarried and pregnant, so she lived in seclusion and went out to thank guests behind closed doors.Of course, maybe it was due to working day and night, Su Mian was really sick, the more Yuhui thought about it, the more worried she became.

There was a lively discussion in the group yesterday. I want to abuse the handsome man, but everyone won't allow it. What should I do?
