The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 489
An hour later, Zhao Gou and Gao Chong walked in, saw a note in each of the three of them, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have already chosen." The three of them handed over their answers. To Zhao Gou, he took a look, "General Han, Gao Xianfeng will go to Guangling County with you."

"Brother Gao is going with me too?" Han Shizhong was taken aback, and then looked at Gao Chong in surprise.

Zhao Gou nodded and said: "Guangling's location is a bit special, so we need to send more people. If you are alone, you can't take the city. In addition, you must remember what I said now. Since you sent troops to attack various counties, I will not give you any more help, everything depends on your own ability."

"This is not just a war, but also an assessment. The content of this assessment is very simple. If you take the city, you will win. If you don't capture the city, then the assessment will fail. Then the result will be, you I will not be able to command the army in the future, I will not give you any military power, and you will still be the vanguard general."

"If you win, then I will fulfill the dreams in your hearts. I will not only ask the emperor for your credit, but also let you guard one side and become real generals. But, you have to remember one thing, as long as anyone does not capture the county, Repel the Liao army, and everything will fail."

"Now you go down to prepare, and I will redeploy troops for you." Zhao Gou said lightly, watching their backs as they went out, and kept Gao Chong behind.

Gao Chong asked doubtfully, "Marshal, what else is there?"

"I'll give you another task!" Zhao Gou lowered his voice and said, "Your identity this time is not only a general, but also a supervisor. As long as the three of them don't work together, the assessment will also fail. So You must remember that you need to report everything to me, and you must not let the three of them find out, if you find out, you will also fail the assessment."

"Marshal, this..." Gao Chong looked at Zhao Gou dumbfounded. It was obvious that he was letting himself be a spy, and he was suffering.

It would be easier for others to say something, but these three people are all shrewd people.If you report everything to Zhao Gou, it will be really difficult not to be discovered.However, Zhao Gou's expression told him that there was no room for negotiation on this matter and it must be strictly enforced.

Immediately, Gao Chong came out of the handsome tent with a sad face, and sighed, "Your Highness is making things difficult for me!"

After Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Yue Fei left, they did not disperse separately, but gathered together to discuss matters.When Gao Chong came back from the commander's tent, he also asked the patrol soldiers where the three of them were going. After learning about it, he came to Liu Guangshi's camp.

"Brother Gao, why are you so sad?" Seeing Gao Chong's weeping and listless look, Yue Fei asked in surprise, "Could it be that the commander-in-chief made things difficult for you?"

Gao Chong forced a smile and said, "How can that happen!"

Even though he smiled and pretended nothing happened, his smile was very stiff.The three of them knew at a glance that their previous guess was correct, and Zhao Gou deliberately made things difficult for Gao Chong.So, the three of them comforted with sympathy.Because the three of them felt the same way, they had found a bosom friend.

"Brother Yue, you have been with the commander-in-chief for the longest time, do you hear other meanings?" Everyone got back to business, Han Shizhong looked at Yue Fei and asked aloud.After all, the one who followed Zhao Gou among the four was really Yue Fei, even Gao Chong was only a late follower, and Yue Fei and Zhao Gou came from the same school.

Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi didn't know that Yue Fei and Zhao Gou came from the same family and had a friendship with each other.However, the two of them knew that Yue Fei followed Zhao Gou in the previous battles, and Gao Chong only appeared this time and the last time he went to Liaoyang Mansion to negotiate with the Jurchens, and they were introduced by such means.

"Where would I know!" Suddenly, Yue Fei was crying, and thought silently in his heart: "This junior brother is real, and it is becoming more and more difficult to guess. If the master is alive, I will definitely give him a good meal. Give me such a problem."

Gao Chong thought for a while, and decided to make a call, "Everyone, I think that the commander-in-chief couldn't say those words for no reason, there must be his reason. Why don't we think about it again, the last sentence of the commander-in-chief is What's the meaning."

Everyone was stunned, and suddenly remembered Zhao Gou's last sentence. The previous words were automatically ignored, and they jumped directly to the last sentence.

Liu Guangshi was puzzled and said: "The commander-in-chief's meaning is obvious, that is, the four of us are a whole. As long as one person falls behind, then this assessment will fail. However, the four of us attacked three places separately, except for Brother Han and Brother Gao is in the same place, brother Yue and I are not, so how do you understand that?"

Yue Fei said abruptly: "Brother Liu, do you have a topographic map here?"

"Yes!" Liu Guangshi remembered that there was indeed a topographic map of Weizhou, so he quickly took it out.

"Every time the commander attacks a place, he will carefully study the topographic map. Why don't we look for it from here!" Yue Fei recalled Zhao Gou's daily habits. He felt that Zhao Gou's last sentence should have something to do with this, so The other three also watched seriously.

Everyone watched for a long time, but they couldn't see any results.

Liu Guangshi said angrily: "After looking for a long time, I can't get any results, so I'm still looking at wool!"

Han Shizhong hastily persuaded: "Brother Liu, don't say despondent words!"

"Damn it!" Liu Guangshi roared angrily, "I can't see anything tricky, doesn't it make people anxious? No matter how you look at it, you can't turn three places into one place. Isn’t it all three yuan?”

"Brother Liu, what did you just say?" Yue Fei continued to chase after Liu Guangshi as if he had come up with something.

Liu Guangshi was taken aback, "I don't see anything tricky!"

"It's not this sentence, it's the last sentence!" Yue Fei continued to ask.

Liu Guangshi said again: "I said, three places cannot be turned into one place..."

"Yes, that's the sentence!" Yue Fei laughed loudly, "Brother Liu, don't you think this sentence is very similar to what the commander-in-chief said?"

Everyone looked at each other, looking at me and you, still looking at Yue Fei in confusion.

Yue Fei had no choice but to tell them what he was thinking. In fact, what Zhao Gou meant was very simple, that is, to let them work together, not to fight alone, but to learn to cooperate with each other.Everyone knows that Feihu County is the closest to this place, and it is also the easiest place to attack, but it is also dangerous.

However, after Feihu County was captured, Lingqiu County was immediately followed, and these two counties are connected together, so the Liao army's troops must also be able to help each other.As long as the Feihu army goes to support the Lingqiu army, then Yue Fei can attack Feihu in a big way; if the Lingqiu army goes to support, then Liu Guangshi can lead an army to attack Lingqiu.

As for Han Shizhong and Gao Chong, they need to make a detour.Originally, to go to Guangling, you only need to pass Lingqiu, but this place is occupied by Liao soldiers, and you can't go straight up. You can only start from Feihukou Pass, and then go around Lingqiu, which will attract the attention of Lingqiu army. Next is still a good opportunity to attack Lingqiu, so that they can win.

After Yue Fei narrated, they understood this truth, that is to say, this assessment is not about individual strength, but overall strength, that is to say, the tacit understanding and cooperation between each other is very important, and the test is the strength of cooperation.Everyone's heart is much clearer, and things will be much easier to handle next.

So, a few of them discussed the marching route and battle plan in the camp.
