Chapter 1217 1218 [There will be times when the wind and waves break] (End)

"Mr. Xi came here at starry night, what do you want to teach me?"

In the Festival Hall of the Marshal's Mansion, Xiao Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, was dressed in regular clothes, with a hint of curiosity in his eyebrows.

With his current status, it is obviously difficult for a man from the countryside to be qualified to meet him. However, he was so polite to Mr. Xi not because he was Pei Yue's master, but because Mr. Xi was the most valued by Pei Zhen, Duke of Dingguo.

.In other words, when Pei Zhen took charge of the military 20 years ago, Xiao Jin was only a mere commander, and Mr. Xi had already participated in the formulation of Daliang's military strategy.

There was also a middle-aged martial artist in the hall, the head coach of the Zhennan Camp, Guo Xing, the Marquis of Gongcheng, who also took Mr. Xi to visit Xiao Jin late at night.

Mr. Xi said with a gentle expression: "I don't take advice seriously. I just have some superficial opinions about the planning of the battle in the southern border. I hope the Marquis of Xiangcheng can correct it."

"oh?"

Xiao Jin smiled slightly, turned to look at Guo Xing, and said lightly: "Mr. Xi is very aware of the border army's plan for this battle?"

There is a bit of sharpness in this sentence.

All the decisions made by the border army in recent times are highly confidential, and those who are aware of them are all high-ranking generals, and there is absolutely no reason for them to be leaked. Although Mr. Xi is Pei Yue's master, he has no official status after all, whether it is

No one can tell him military secrets.

Guo Xing remained calm and calm, calmly responding to Xiao Jin's scrutiny.

Over there, Mr. Xiangxi said calmly: "As early as a month ago, Pei Yue sent a letter to Xi. He speculated that the Southern Zhou Dynasty might choose to feint attack on the east and west fronts to induce me to take the initiative to attack the army on the south bank. 12

A few days ago, the main force of the Ningguo camp in Southern Zhou Dynasty

Cross the upper reaches of the Tiancang River and attack our Sizhou defense line. Nine days ago, another navy in the Southern Zhou Dynasty occupied the waters at the mouth of the Tiancang River and attacked Jiangyin Mansion with a large number of infantry. After Xi learned the news four days ago,

So I hurriedly came from Lizhou Fucheng."

He took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Jin.

In fact, when Mr. Xi opened his mouth to explain, Xiao Jin realized that she had been worrying too much.

He made the decision to shrink the east and west defense lines three days ago, and the main army would pass through Jiangling City as a bridgehead and then move southward. It was impossible for the other party to learn about this and come to Puqi City in such a short period of time.

Xiao Jin had a calm expression on his face and took the secret letter from Mr. Xi. After reading it, his expression became more solemn.

This letter is indeed written by Pei Yue. Considering the distance between Kyoto and the southern border, this letter was obviously sent a long time ago.

"Why didn't Duke Wei directly inform me of this matter?" Xiao Jin asked seriously.

Mr. Xi said calmly: "Pei Yue does not want to interfere with the military affairs decisions of the Marquis of Xiangcheng."

Xiao Jin heard the implication of the other party's words. The first thing he did on this trip was to suppress the arrogance of the southern generals, and then try his best to eliminate Pei Yue's influence on them. At this time, if Pei Yue forcibly intervened in the military affairs of the southern border in Kyoto, it would inevitably

Cause his rejection and rebound.

He pondered for a moment and asked: "Mr. Xi, do you mean that I should limit the battlefield to the north bank and only defend the Zhou army?"

Mr. Xi said calmly: "Marquis of Xiangcheng, the current situation on the Western Front is extremely critical. Xi believes that temporary concessions are not weakness. Shrinking the east and west defense lines and then mobilizing the main force to go south is indeed a move to turn passivity into initiative, but the Southern Zhou Dynasty

Can the king and his ministers not see it?

Their own weaknesses? Xi and Pei Yue agreed that if the Southern Zhou Dynasty showed an active offensive trend on the east and west fronts, it must have made a fuss south of Jiangling City in order to lure our army southward, and then attack Chengbei University.

An ambush is set up between the camp and Xu Yangguan!"

Xiao Jin's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "I have also considered the concerns of Duke Wei. The Southern Dynasty may really be so bold this time and use the defense line to the north of Jian'an City as a bait. However, two years ago, I had a large-scale attack on the Southern Army.

The 100,000-strong army led by the defeated Xie Xiao can do the same today."

Mr. Xi frowned slightly.

Guo Xing coughed twice and said sternly: "Master Junji, I also believe that the Southern Zhou Dynasty may be a decoy attack this time. Judging from the military intelligence reports on the east and west fronts, although the strength of the Southern Zhou army cannot be underestimated,

The total strength is less than 100,000. Most of the troops in Chengbei Camp, Linjiang Camp and the northern defense line of the capital in the Southern Zhou Dynasty have not been used. Our army wants to continuously break through many passes and threaten Jian'an City. There are too many uncertainties.

sex."

Xiao Jin shook his head and said: "Both of you, please listen to what I have to say. The Southern Zhou Dynasty dared to take the initiative to invade the country this time because they knew that Xiwu was entangled with our Western Army and Beijing Camp, and the internal affairs of the country were under great logistical pressure.

Under such a situation, the longer the war drags on, the worse it will be for our country.

At present, the upper and lower reaches of the Tiancang River are in the hands of the Southern Zhou Navy. Their armies on the east and west fronts can advance or retreat. Even if it is just repeated small-scale battles, I wonder if the five southern states can support the war in the west.

Do you still have the energy to sustain a long-term war?"

Mr. Xi said with absolute certainty: "Xiwu won't last long."

Xiao Jin did not argue with him and said decisively: "Mr. Xi, Lord Guo, I know that what you two said tonight is sincere. I also know that Southern Zhou Dynasty is well prepared this time, but I want to break this situation and relieve the pressure on the court.

, we can only put it to death and survive."

Mr. Xi and Guo Xing looked at each other and knew that things could not be changed.

The fog of the battlefield always exists. The Southern Zhou Dynasty has made it clear that the horses and horses will seek greater benefits through the results of the east and west fronts, and will take advantage of the situation to the extreme. No one can determine where they want to go, so it cannot be said that Xiao Jin's judgment is absolute.

mistake.

Perhaps he can be like Pei Yue two years ago and completely defeat the Zhou people's morale in one battle.

Mr. Xi stood up to leave, when Xiao Jin suddenly said: "Over this period of time, the Xiangyun has made a lot of contributions to military logistics and to appease the people. Xiao is very grateful. Please accept the courtesy of this junior."

Mr. Xi was slightly startled. He looked at Xiao Jin who was bowing and saluting. He turned aside with a complex expression, then shook his head and said: "This is the duty Xi and Xiangyun have to fulfill. The Marquis of Xiangcheng does not need to be more polite."

After walking out of the festival hall, the sky was full of stars in the night.

Guo Xing personally sent Mr. Xi to the city gate and sighed: "I hope the two generals Zhuang and Cai can defeat the main force of the Southern Zhou defenders."

Mr. Xi was silent for a moment and whispered: "If the war on the front line goes unfavorably, you must hold on to the defense line along the river."

Guo Xing nodded in agreement and asked, "Sir, are you going back to Lizhou now?"

Mr. Xi responded: "Yes, I will order someone to report Xiao Jin's decision to Kyoto immediately."

The two of them parted ways. Guo Xing watched Mr. Xi riding his horse out of the city accompanied by a group of entourage. He suddenly felt a chill of late spring coming over his body and couldn't help but tighten his sleeves.

…

March 19th, when the sky is dim.

"Master Hou! Master Hou!"

The housekeeper stood outside the door of Guo Xing's bedroom. Although he knew that his prince went to bed at midnight, less than two hours ago, he did not dare to wait any longer and shouted loudly in panic.

There was a movement in the house soon. Later, Guo Xing was seen walking out in plain clothes. He frowned and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"

The steward said in a trembling voice: "Master Marquis, the Nanzhou Navy is advancing from both ends and is now fighting fiercely with our Dingzhou Navy. The river is already in chaos!"

Guo Xing suddenly changed his color and shouted sternly: "Get your horses ready quickly!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis!" The butler left quickly.

When Guo Xing left behind his guards and climbed to the top of Puqi City, a group of generals led by Xiao Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, had gathered here. Everyone looked heavy.

He didn't have time to greet Xiao Jin, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to the face of the right military aircraft. He raised his eyes and looked towards the river in the south. Even though he was mentally prepared, his face still changed drastically at this moment.

During this period, Dingzhou Navy has firmly controlled this section of hundreds of miles of water, maintaining the connection between Puqi City and Jiangling City on the south bank. However, the Southern Zhou Dynasty clearly understood Xiao Jin's strategy, and Wufeng Navy upstream and downstream

The Xinjian Navy arrived at the same time and stabbed the Dingzhou Navy with a very cruel blow!

In just two hours, the Dingzhou Navy was defeated and had to retreat to the tributary to the west of Puqi City.

South Bank... has been reduced to a lonely city and a place of death!
