Chapter 7 Wen Shihong

September, Xiangyang, Council Chamber.

The three Yunyi brothers led the army 50,000 and the navy to Xiangyang. This was a crucial military meeting before the war, which determined the final strategy to destroy Xiao Liang.

The Southern Expedition Military Conference was presided over by Yun Yi, and the members of the membership included his brothers Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Shen Luoyan, Xu Shiji and other members of the Military Commission.

"This time, our Divine Arrow Army is going to deal with Xiao Xian's 400,000 Later Liang Army, Luo Yan. Tell me, where are their 400,000 troops?" Yun Yi first said that he has always been informal and extremely generous to his subordinates. They all govern the army in accordance with the military law. Therefore, generals are not like their superiors and subordinates, but more like friends. At the military conference, all the generals can speak freely and highlight the atmosphere of the new dynasty. As we all know, Yun Yi's subtle feelings for Shen Luoyan, so he saw that Yun Yi did not care about Shen Luoyan's value. Among them, how could Xu Shiji compete with Yun Yi for women, so he gave up his pursuit of Shen Luoyan and turned to training with all his strength and outstanding meritorious deeds.

"Xiao Xian's troops are known as 400,000. In April this year, Yi Shuai personally led 20,000 cavalry to break Jiangxia 60,000 soldiers. Later Liang cavalry lost more than half of them. In May, General Bu led 20,000 water troops and attacked Huangzhou (now Huanggang) and Xiling (now Huangshi) along the river. After a battle, he defeated 60,000 enemies and reduced 40,000 soldiers. Xiao Milled 40. Ten thousand troops have removed one hundred thousand." Shen Luoyan analyzed.

"No wonder Xiao Xian's old boy was bullied by Yun Shao and didn't dare to fight back at the door. It turned out that he was afraid of being beaten by the divine arrow army!" When Kou Zhong heard this, he punched each other and interrupted.

"What the young commander said is not bad. Xiao Xian has been shrinking in Baling since the loss of Jiangxia and Xiling. He did not dare to fight head-on with our army. Lin Shihong, such a clown, dared to take advantage of the fire to rob. From the Jiujiang River, he tried to sneak up to attack Jiangxia. He was recognized by Tianzhi and defeat him. The next arrow of our army is Lin. Shi Hong." Xu Shiji said. Since Xiao Xian lost several important towns in Jiangxia and Xiling, he promised to hand over the territory east of Jiangxia to Lin Shihong in exchange for Lin Shihong's attack on Yun Yi. As a result, he stole the chicken and almost was almost killed by a thunder arrow.

"Lin Shihong is about to die, and the good days of destroying Xiao Xian are coming to an end!" Yun Yi sneered and said, "I don't know what other generals think of Xiao Xian in the Southern Expedition?"

"His mother's Xiao Laoer is just a big river turtle. He ordered people to stick to the city gates and not fight against our army. Let Lao Cheng and I go back every time I attack the city. It's really aggrieved!" Cheng Yaojin cursed depressedly.

After Yunyi took Xiangyang, he asked Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin Town to lead two divisions and a division of 30,000 horses to guard Xiangyang. Cheng Yaojin was eager to make contributions. He led 10,000 horses and attacked Jingmen, which was only 5,000 people. As a result, the enemy generals could not stick to it. Cheng Yaojin could not attack for a long time. He lost his troops and returned with success. As a result, he was Yi was fined for one year. In fact, when Cheng Yaojin led the troops out of Xiangyang, Yun Yi got the news that he deliberately let Cheng Yaojin out of the city, just to try Xiao Liang's defense in Jiangbei, and by the way, he frustrated Cheng Yaojin's anxiety.

"Zhijie, Xiao Xian's Xiao general Wen Shihong led tens of thousands of elite soldiers stationed in the north of the Dajiang River. I advised you not to act rashly, and you just don't listen!" Qin Qiong scolded that Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin were iron brothers. Cheng Yaojin was in a hurry and didn't even listen to Yun Yi's orders, but he could mostly listen to his brother Qin Qiong's words. Cheng Yaojin was wrong, and Qin Qiong's reprimand could not be refuted.

"If Ruo Yi Shuai gives me ten thousand thunder arrows, I will definitely take down Jingmen." Cheng Yaojin muttered.

"Lao Cheng, I don't blame General Qin for scolding you. Thunder arrows are not ordinary feather arrows. Ten thousand thunder arrows should sell your Cheng biting gold." Yun Yi laughed and scolded.

"It's okay to sell Lao Cheng, but don't sell Lao Cheng's wife." Cheng Yaojin said without confidence that he was afraid that his wife would be famous. Looking at Cheng Yaojin's bear, he heard his amazing words and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Where are the remaining 300,000 troops in Xiao Mill?" Xu Ziling was most concerned about how to eliminate Xiao Liang at present, so he asked.

"Ziling really knows the general situation!" Shen Luoyan saw a group of old people laughing and interrupting his analysis, which made her very unhappy. She stared at Kou Zhong, looked at Xu Ziling with autumn water in autumn water, and praised him charmingly.

"Cad Officer Shen, please speak!" Xu Ziling looked at Shen Luoyan's delicate appearance and couldn't help blushing. Thinking of yesterday's ecstasy kiss with Shen Luoyan, he hurriedly covered it up.

"Although the remaining army of Xiao Xian is claimed to be 300,000, the actual army used is only 150,000 at most." Shen Luoyan said.

"Huh! This is the inevitable consequence of the backward military system!" Since Xu Shiji held the palm of the "Heavenly Soldier", he was very disdainful of the combat effectiveness of Xiao Xian's army and hummed.

"What Brother Shiji said is right. Xiao Xian's sphere of influence extends to Jiujiang in the east, to the Three Gorges in the west, to Jiaozhi (Hanoi, Vietnam) in the south, and to Hanshui in the north. The territory is so large that there are so many troops, but it will also cause too much burden." Kou Zhong's information channel is not bad, and he said.

"The young commander is really wise! Xiao Xian did not have a complete and effective military system. In order to protect his own territory, he scattered his troops. In this way, the 300,000 warable army would have at least one discount, leaving only 150,000. His subordinates and generals were meritorious, arrogant and domineering, and were good at killing power. Xiao Xian was afraid that it would be difficult to control for a long time, so he cut the generals's' power in the name of truce. Some generals and commanders plotted chaos one after another for this. Xiao Xian only knew how to kill, but he was uneasy, which caused the border generals and commanders to be afraid, and rebelled and went to many people. The discord between generals and generals is a taboo for soldiers. The combat ability is bound to be low, and it can be reduced in half. The strength is equivalent to 70,000 to 80,000, which is comparable to the strength of our army. Xu Shiji said slangly and pointed out the key point of Xiao Xian. In history, Xu Shiji deserves to be a world-class famous general.

As soon as this statement was made, the generals were full of confidence, the atmosphere was boosted, and the atmosphere of war filled the whole council hall.

"When I heard General Xu's words, this battle must be a success!" Yun Yi patted the case and said excitedly.

"Yi Shuai, just say it directly, how should we fight?" Cheng Yaojin is a war villain. When there is a war, he incarnates an "energy man". Killing people is like cutting melons and cutting vegetables. The title of the demon king of the mixed world is really not overshadowed.

"What do you think of the young commander and Ziling?" Yun Yi asked his brother.

"Ha! In the territory of Yi Shuai, I dare not call him a young commander! What do you think? Kou Zhong laughed.

"Oh!" Yun Yi made a hook and let Kou Zhong turn into a shrimp directly.

"What do you think of Ziling?" Yun Yi looked at Xu Ziling evilly. The temperature of the whole council chamber dropped several degrees. When Xu Ziling saw this battle, he learned from Kou Zhong's previous car and said in a hurry, "Yun Shao, Kou Zhong and I are here to discuss military affairs. It's not right..."

"Ha! What I'm waiting for is my brother's words!" Yun Yi said proudly.

"With the ranks of my brothers Kou Zhong and Marshal Xu Ziling, they each lead an army." Yun Yi said, "What are the different opinions of the members of the military department?"

"Good! ..." All the generals were in high spirits and said yes. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling not only defeated them in the battle of Luoyang, which made them deeply admire them. Moreover, since they came to Shen Gong City, they often went to the military academy to take the martial arts of sergeants or talk about the strategy of the military division. The generals had already been convinced by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Of course, there was no hindrance. The key is that although Yun Yi nominally set up the Military Commission, he actually calculated it alone.

"Someone deliberately hurt people, I'm going to the court to complain!" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have been working hard on the "Chinese Law" in Zongheng College these days, so there will be such avant-garde words.

"Haha! ..." He laughed again, because Yun Yi was the president of the court.

"Come with me!" Yun Yi waved his hand. Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and the generals followed Yun Yi to the southeast corner of the council hall. They saw a square wooden table three feet square. The tabletop was completely covered with blue cloth. They didn't know what was under the cloth.

Yun Yi grabbed a corner of the cloth and lifted it violently. Suddenly, a three-dimensional map appeared in front of everyone. Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and they were amazed. They all had the feeling that "the enemy is in my eyes".

"This is the power of my disciples of Shenjiantang for half a year, painting mountains, rivers, towns and roads all over the world, and shrinking them according to a certain size, height, and stacking them with mud and sand, green vines, rivers and other objects. I call it a sand table, which can be used for military layout and combat drills."

"In the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty • Biography of Ma Yuan", it is said that in the eighth year of Han Jianwu, when Emperor Guangwu conquered Tianshui and Wudu, the general Ma Yuan gathered rice in the valley to draw the situation. At this time, it seems that it is not as good as this sand table. Yi Shuai is really a god!" Xu Shiji praised that his worship of Yun Yi had reached the extreme.

"Yi Shuai, this sand table..." It's not a good thing for Kou Zhong to call Yun Yi "Yi Shuai". Well, he began to blackmail again.

"Zhong Shao, don't worry, when Xiao Liang is calmed down, brother, I will not let you down!" Yun Yi promised.

After saying that, Yun Yi walked to the south of the sand table and picked up a small red flag on the four sides of the sand table at will. While waving his hand, the small flag broke out. In a blink of an eye, he appeared on the head of the small sand city marked Jiangling.

"Yi Shuai wants to take Jiangling first!" Shen Luoyan lost his voice.

"Exact! Baling and Jiangling are like two horns of a buffalo. If I take Baling, Jiangling will be like the blade in front of our abdomen. If you enter, you can attack Xiangyang, hurt my foundation, retreat, and help Baling, and surround my sailor and Dongting Lake. If I take Jiangling, Baling seems to be the knife behind my side. It is far from Lin Shihong. Shunda River can attack Jiangxia, break the elite of our sailor in one fell swoop, and the troops of Yiling (now Yichang) against the current can help Jiangling, which consumes my troops and can't fight for a long time. Yun Yi said solemnly.

"Yi Shuai! Why don't the water and land go together, which makes it difficult for Xiao Xian to care about the beginning and the end. In this way, he can directly take Xiao Xian's nest Baling, and Jiangling will break it without attacking. Bu Tianzhi doubted that as the number one person in the water army in the Divine Arrow Army, it is more obvious that he has to rely on the water army to attack Baling, but not to attack Jiangling.

"What Tianzhi said is not the same!" A trace of understanding flashed in Kou Zhong's eyes, pointing to Baling in the sand table and said, "Yun Shaobei Defense Wang Shichong, Dongyu Lin Shihong, the available soldiers have not yet reached the strength to open the left and right bow, but your suggestion is half right. Yun Shao said that he would take Jiangling, but he never said that he would not attack Baling!"

"Zhong Shao deserves to be the person who knows me best. This battle is to use the thirty-six strategies of attacking the east and the west to the extreme!" Yun Yi praised.

"The sound hits the east and the west?" Xu Ziling flashed a smile and said, "Do you have to adjust the tiger away from the mountain to work?"

"The sound hits the east and the west, and the tiger leaves the mountain?" Cheng Yaojin is confused, and only the generals who are familiar with the military tactics can understand the deep meaning.

"Yi Shuai, what a tiger mountain, explain it plainly!" Cheng Yaojin didn't understand, but he was not happy. People say that Cheng Yaojin is the best general in the world. Yun Yi finally proved that it is not a fiction. If he doesn't know the art of war, he can fight so many victories. There is no one but him.

"The 'tiger' that Marshal Xu said was Wen Shihong, the general of Jiangling. Lao Cheng, you have attacked Jingmen several times, and you still don't know who the behind-the-scenes conductor is?" Shan Xiongxin was surprised and asked. He was usually very unhappy with Cheng Yaojin's temperament, but because of Yunyi's "indulgence" for Cheng Yaojin, there was no way. Hearing Cheng Yaojin's break there, he questioned.

"Of course I know Lao Cheng, but what qualifications does he have to be called a 'tiger'?" Cheng Yaojin retorted.

"Wen Shihong is the most powerful general under Xiao Xian's command. He is brave and good at fighting, and the navy and cavalry can command Ruo Ding. He is Xiao Xian's most trusted general." Qin Qiong explained.

"I fought with his soldiers in Jingmen, and I didn't realize how powerful he was, that is, a dareless rat who avoided fighting." Cheng Yaojin argued.

"Lao Cheng, you can't take Jingmen for ten thousand to five thousand. Is there any reason?" Yun Yi said angrily that Cheng Yaojin was soft and afraid of hard, and he had to beat him at the right time, otherwise the monk would really be lawless with an umbrella. Cheng Yaojin was much more honest when he heard this, and he didn't dare to interrupt at will.

"Yi Shuai, since Wen Shihong is so capable, why don't you send someone to assassinate him? Jiangling will definitely be captured." Pei Renji has always been good at using poison. On that day, he participated in the plan to assassinate Yun Yi and Xu Ziling, but Yun Yi let him go. He believes that once Wen Shihong dies, the Liang army in Jiangbei can be said to be a plate of scattered sand, which can be easily taken.

"Ha!" The two brothers Yunyi and Kou Zhong looked at each other and smiled. Previously, they also talked about the impact of assassination on the overall situation of the war. Unexpectedly, they encountered an example today.

"General Pei, if we assassinate Wen Shihong, it will not only damage the reputation of the Divine Arrow Army, but also make the world think that Yun Shao is afraid of Wen Shihong, and it is extremely unfavorable to our army. Secondly, Wen Shihong is good at leading the army. In case of his death, his troops and horses will fight against our army, which will only make the Divine Arrow Army pay a greater price. In addition, I believe that Yun Shao cherishes the talent of the scribe and must want to capture him alive. Kou Zhong analyzed in an orderly manner. He is worthy of being a brother with Yun Yi for more than ten years, and he has thoroughly figured out his mind.

"Wo!" A small green flag has been inserted into a small river-crossing city between Jiangling and Baling.
