Chapter 1787 Controversy, lead to war
If it was before, Yong Kai was just a country tyrant, although he would not be underestimated, but he would not pay much attention to it. It is absolutely impossible for Yong Kai to sit in the position of the so-called leader of the coalition forces, but now , there doesn''t seem to be any good options either.
When Yong Kai came up with a solution, Liu Fan and Gao Ding realized that this might be the best compromise. There may also be some doubts, but in the end it was agreed to let Yong Kai be the leader of the coalition forces.
Choosing a day is worse than bumping into it. When the decision was made, Liu Gao and the two didn''t hesitate or postpone. They simply and unanimously brought their subordinates together on the second day, and then laughed and "shake hands and make peace", expressing that they jointly recommended Yong Kai is the leader of the coalition forces, effective immediately...
Yong Kai pretended to decline, and then reluctantly sat on the high platform. When he saw the people bowing their heads like the wind blowing thatch, he almost couldn''t restrain his excited expression...
After planning for many days, I finally got it today. This kind of feeling is simply not good.
Yong Kai looked at the audience, and suddenly felt that this world seems to be close at hand, within easy reach!
Fortunately, Yong Kai was still a little bit sober, and quickly put away the posture he posed on the stage, calling for the two sides to sit down and discuss how to march immediately.
So, the military meeting, which had been delayed for many days, was finally on the right track.
It''s a pity that Yong Kai never expected that the direction of the matter, after it seemed to follow his idea for a while, also began to deviate from the original direction...
Gao Ding first asked: "I don''t know how Governor Liu wants to march?" Attack Sichuan and Shu? 』
Liu Fan did not answer this question directly, but instead asked: "Is there a sentry to investigate the movement of Sichuan and Shu?" Where is the face-to-face enemy located? How many soldiers are there? 』
Gao Ding widened his eyes again.
Yong Kai quickly mixed the mud in the middle, and said: "The soldiers from Sichuan and Shu are standing in the way, intending to prevent our coalition forces from going north. Are there about 3,000 troops, located in the sun of Nanshan..." While speaking, he asked his subordinates to unfold the map and give pointers Follow the direction of Wei Yanbing stronghold.
There are not many roads between Jianning and Sichuan. Of course, if the so-called "Poison Spring" is included, there should be four roads. The official road on the front goes east from Jianning, then circles along the mountain road, goes west, and then goes northeast. The road is not bad, but it is a long way.
The other land route is even further away. It has to go out from the big mountain in the west, then go north into the mountainous area, and then go to Dingze, and then go from Dingze to Chengdu.
Of course, you can also take a shortcut, but the two shortcuts must pass through the "poison spring".
For people in Jianning, the "Poison Spring" is a very scary thing, but people and animals will die one after another after passing by, and they will even be infected. Even unless it is a last resort, basically they will not go to the "Poison Spring" "of.
As for how to enter the army, Liu Fan''s suggestion is that since Wei Yan has already set up a camp, even if he is attacking the camp, it will be inconvenient for the troops to deploy, and they may even get stuck on the mountain road. Bypassing Wei Yan, crossing the "Poison Spring", and then turning around and attacking Wei Yan''s Bingzhai, it will definitely be broken in one fell swoop!
Go around and attack?
Take a shortcut and take the "Poison Spring"?
High definition means disdain. Although the toxicity of the "poison spring" decreases in winter, it still has a lot of lethality, not to mention that there are not many ships here in Jianning, and small-scale ferrying is still possible, but for large-scale personnel like the army, it is difficult to I can''t get over it at all, either build a pontoon bridge, or directly choose a low-lying place to wade across, and in this way, even if we win, there will be a lot of damage due to the "poison spring" after the battle...
Gao Ding''s suggestion is that it is better to go around the west mountain and attack Chengdu from the direction of Dingze, because both Wei Yan and Xu Shu must take strict precautions against the front road, so if they go around the west mountain, they will definitely be able to kill Xu Shu by surprise, and Chengdu will fall Afterwards, no matter how well defended Wei Yan''s camp on the road is, what''s the use? It''s not just about obediently surrendering!
Liu Fan scoffed, saying Gao Ding was stupid and naive.
The detour to the west mountain is farther away. Leaving aside the issue of military and food storage and transportation, this detour will consume more time. If Sichuan and Shu find out, then they will go to the mountain road like Wei Yan''s current camp. Once blocked, there will be a dilemma at that time, and maybe they will return in a big defeat!
Furthermore, if they all detour to the west mountain, Jianning is empty, if Wei Yan advances, wouldn''t he even lose the basic board?
Strictly speaking, whether it is Liu Fan''s strategy or Gao Ding''s ideas, they are not bad, but the problem is that both of their ideas are mixed with selfishness under justice.
Liu Fan suggested that the soldiers and horses to bypass the "Poison Spring" must be high-definition, because Liu Fan is not familiar with the terrain, and secondly, he doesn''t know where to cross, so naturally it can only be high-definition Lead people to do this, and then Liu Fan only needs to make a feint from the front, relaxed and comfortable.
Gao Ding knew this, so he said to go to Xishan. Although there are some South Vietnamese people in Liu Fan''s team, compared with the Yi people who are more familiar with the local forests, it is definitely better for the Yi people to walk the mountain road here, and for Gao Ding, the one after entering Sichuan is Wei Yan, who fought successive battles, is obviously difficult to deal with, and Liu Bei, who was defeated by General Hussars, must be relatively soft and easy to overthrow, so take more mountain roads and make more detours Time, why not?
Liu Fan said in a loud voice: "If the Wei family is broken, Sichuan and Sichuan will inevitably shake, and it will be spread to other places. 』
Gao Ding sneered: "The Wei family only has three thousand soldiers, obviously there are still soldiers in Sichuan and Shu, even if the Wei family is defeated, it may not be possible to let Sichuan and Shu stand in their hands!" 』
Liu Fan shook his head and said, "This statement is absurd! Now we have been wasting here for nearly ten days, the enemy must be proud, this is an excellent opportunity to enter the army, how can we miss it! 』
Gao Ding raised his neck and said: "My elite soldiers are in a hurry to reorganize the army. They are used to traveling in the mountains and forests. They can travel eighty miles a day and night. They only need to search for the road, and they can reach Chengdu in a short time!" How can there be no reason? ! 』
The two were fighting each other, foaming.
Yong Kai suddenly felt that the so-called leadership position that he had worked so hard to plan for did not seem to be very popular.
Hesitating for a moment, Yong Kai saw that both sides were at a stalemate, and said with some headaches: "Two, two! How about adopting the old method of Guanzhong in the past, leading each way, and those who entered Sichuan and Shu first, the king...such as...this? 』Speaking of general, Yong Kai also felt that there seemed to be something wrong, but the words had already been said, and he could not immediately turn his face and say that what I just said was bullshit, so he just listened to it as a fart, so he had to bite the bullet and say Finish.
『That’s it! ’ Liu Fan said, stretching out a hand to Gao Ding, ‘Whoever ascends first, shall be seated first! 』
Gao Ding pondered for a moment, then nodded, and clapped hands with Liu Fan: "It''s a deal!" 』
Immediately, the two turned their heads, staring at Yong Kai with piercing eyes.
Yong Kai suddenly had a feeling of standing inside the fence, and the pores of his body shrank, "Both, this...you... don''t know what happened..."
Liu Fan chuckled: "We are leading the army outside, and the matter of logistics, money and food supply will be troubled by Chief Yong..."
Gao Ding also nodded and said: "A certain trustworthy brother Yong, the money and food are all raised by brother Yong!" 』
Yong Kai''s expression finally changed, he looked at Liu Fan, then at Gao Ding, and said with a dry smile: "Why don''t we discuss how to unite our forces together, advance together and retreat together..."
『No need! Liu Fan said decisively, "Now that the military situation is on fire, how can we delay it?" So I''m going back to prepare for one or two, Dinghe Gao brother will meet with Chengdu city! 』
Gao Ding laughed twice, "Good! At that time, I will definitely be waiting for Governor Liu! 』
When the two of them finished fighting each other, they gestured to Yong Kai, then parted ways and left.
Yong Kai was in a mess in the wind, and he couldn''t adapt to it. From the beginning of the morning, everyone bowed down, and then he actually became a thankless logistics supervisor in a blink of an eye...
Where is the agreed commander of the coalition forces?
East all the way, west all the way, they all left separately, still called "Allied Forces"? Then I worked hard to plan for a long time, but in the end I only got a title that was not worthy of the name, and I had to manage some logistics money and food, I don''t know how much money I would spend!
What should I do? !
Yong Kai suddenly felt that one of his heads had become as big as three, although his original head was quite big.
Immediately afterward, Yong Kai hurriedly chased out to find Liu Fan and Gao Ding, and brought up the brotherhood and mutual interests that were mentioned between them, and found out that no matter whether it was Gao Ding or Liu Fan this time, I didn''t listen to what he said, but those innocuous words came to Tangsai, and even stared at Yong Kai to hurry up and prepare food, grass, supplies, etc., so that the army could move out in three days.
Just when Yong Kai was almost desperate, things suddenly changed again, and Yong Kai saw a glimmer of hope again...
Actually, two or three envoys arrived in Jianning, claiming to meet Liu Fan and Governor Liu!
Messenger?
Not only did Yong Kai find it strange, but even Gao Ding, who had already driven a certain distance as the striker, stopped temporarily and rushed back to see what the so-called envoy was.
The envoy didn''t say anything at first, but after seeing Liu Fan himself, he not only came forward to worship respectfully, but also called the eldest son...
『Elder Prince…』
Liu Fan repeated mutteringly, his expression unavoidably a little dazed. He has not heard this title for many years.
『Eldest son? 』
Gao Ding was also repeating, and looked at Liu Fan and the three envoys suspiciously, scratching the beard on his chin.
『Some...fourth brother, is...is it okay? 』Liu Fan''s voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Reporting to the eldest son..." the messenger replied with his head down, "My lord, although he was not imprisoned a few days ago, he was really like a prison... Now that it has been a long time, he is a little more relaxed... Only the younger ones have the opportunity to come here at...」
Liu Fan nodded, and asked again: "Do you have a token?" 』
The envoy replied: "Reporting to the eldest son, the younger one has no token on him..."
Liu Fan couldn''t help being taken aback when he heard the words.
The envoy quickly said: "Now Jianning is in a hurry, martial law is imposed inside and outside Chengdu, and strict searches are carried out when entering and leaving, so it is impossible to carry tokens..."
Gao Ding snorted aside, and said, "Cut, you don''t even have a token?" 』
Liu Fan glanced across in dissatisfaction, then turned his head and asked: "There is no token, is there anything else?" 』Although it is indeed a problem to say that there is no token, but after thinking about it, it seems reasonable. Since Liu Zhang is under guard, it is impossible to send people out generously. Since it is impossible to send people out directly, it is naturally impossible to let these people who may be arrested at any time carry any tokens, otherwise once they come out If there is a problem, wouldn''t his life be gone?
So, if he was in the position of the fourth younger brother, he might not be able to give any tokens.
The envoy kowtowed and said: "Go back to the eldest son, the lord is to confess to the younger one. When you see the eldest son, just say a word..."
『What? ’ Liu Fan asked.
『The soldiers of Chengdu have been driven away. ’ said the messenger.
"what? Gao Ding was taken aback, "Is this really true?" Who led the team, how many soldiers and horses? 』
The envoy glanced at Gao Ding, and then focused his attention on Liu Fan.
Liu Fan was very satisfied with the envoy''s performance, so he waved his hand and gestured generously: "This is the king of the barbarians...but it''s okay to say..."
"Wei..." The envoy bowed his hands to Gao Ding, expressed his respect, and then said, "Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi should lead the army... there should be about 5,000 soldiers and horses... I don''t know the rest, but they are Chengdu soldiers and horses." Most of them were transferred, so the younger ones have the opportunity to report to the eldest son...』
Liu Fan pondered for a while, and then asked: "There is a military stronghold in the Dao, how can you get through with a few people?" 』
The envoy said: "There is a herb-picking path in the mountains, you can beat the rope and go down the cliff..."
Liu Fan nodded in disappointment, and asked some other questions, but the emissary either didn''t say clearly, or said he didn''t understand, so he didn''t get much effective detailed information from other aspects.
The envoy retreated.
Regarding the authenticity of the envoy, it is actually not difficult to distinguish. After all, as long as you wait for a few days, if what the envoy said really happens, it will naturally become clear, so Gao Ding did not continue to entangle. Instead of the issue of tokens, consider how to deal with it if the matter mentioned by the envoy really happened.
Liu Fan was also silent.
"If his words are true, Xu Yuanzhi of Sichuan and Shu used Wei Wenchang as a bait, and then flanked the Xishan Mountains to attack Jianning..." Yong Kai looked at the map and analyzed the strategic deployment of Sichuan and Shu, "No wonder Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang remained motionless. You don’t lead troops forward, you don’t retreat, you just send some elite scouts to strangle me and other scouts on weekdays... so it’s just to confuse us...』
Gao Ding looked at the map and frowned. If what the envoy said is true, then I have bumped headfirst into Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi''s main force. Even if I can resist, it will probably be horrible, so I rolled my eyes a few times, and suddenly laughed, saying :"how? I said the way of the Western Hills is the most important, right? Xu Yuanzhi''s strategy was quite vicious, but since he knew it, why didn''t he use it? 』
Liu Fan said: "First conquer Wei''s army stronghold? 』
Gao Ding shook his head and said: "The military village is built in the way, and it is not easy to go down from the heights. Even if it is attacked from both sides, it is not easy to go down quickly. It is better to lie in ambush on the way of Xishan. If Xu Yuanzhi is killed, then Sichuan and Sichuan will be in chaos. At that time, no matter how brave the Wei family is, so what? Therefore, it should be merged into one place, and the enemy of Xishan should be destroyed first! 』
Yong Kai also said: "I have been waiting for a long time, the Wei family must be well prepared, and the enemy is coming from the western mountain... This road must be rushed, and we can just attack halfway, waiting for work with ease, and we will definitely be defeated. Its army! 』
Liu Fan thought and thought, stood up and walked around several times. Although he didn''t like Gao Ding and Yong Kai, he finally let go of his unhappiness in the face of the problem, agreed to merge one place, and went to An ambush strategy was carried out on the road to the west mountain, preparing to meet Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi.
