I’m Marquis in Great Tang

2nd day, early morning.

Early in the morning, Yan San took Zhong Yunwu, Yang Zheng, and Zhao Tianxin to leave.

Prepare to take a small path to the rear of Chen Can.

Du Qi also set off in the direction of Azure Cow Mountain. On the way from Du Qi to Azure Cow Mountain, a sentry quickly came to Du Qi’s side and reported: “Your Highness, we From yesterday to now, a total of three waves of people who passed messages have been intercepted. However, the main interception was last night. These people passed the news, surprisingly, it is about the affairs of the palace in the city.”

Du Qi continues Said: “Continue to stare, the message must be blocked.”

“Yes!”

The sentry should turn around and leave.

Du Qi led people on the road, moving towards Azure Cow Mountain. By the time Du Qi arrived at Azure Cow Mountain, it was already mid-afternoon. At this time, Azure Cow Mountain, not at all war happened.

Du Qi came to the place where the army was stationed on the mountain, and Liu Che greeted him and said: “Your Highness!”

Du Qi said: “How is the situation?”

Liu Che said: “In the morning, the fire country’s army launched a wave of offensive, which lasted until noon. Because I was well prepared, not only had enough mortars arranged on the mountain, but also officials under the mountain. Dao arranged landmines, so after the fire country’s army attacked, they eventually returned in low spirits after failing, and they all left. For the time being, no war happened.”

paused, Liu Che said:” It is estimated that Chen Can must be stationed for the time being, looking for a way to defeat us. But we are in Azure Cow Mountain, unless Chen Can defeated us, otherwise, it is impossible to leave Azure Cow Mountain.”

Du Qi He said: “That’s good.”

Liu Che said: “His Royal Highness is in Hongshan County. Why did you suddenly come to the front line?”

Du Qi directly said about the palace changes in Hongshan County. It also talked about Yan San’s fact that now he has led troops to find the way back, and said: “Now we have been at war with Huo Nation. Since we have fought, we will beat the other party to pain at one time. Even, we will try to get Chen down. Can also win directly, so Fire Country can also be won directly.”

Liu Che said: “In this case, we just need to wait for news and wait for Yansan’s news. Once Yansan Attack, then, we can cooperate inside and outside and directly attack Chen Can.”

Du Qi nodded said: “This is the reason, but Yan San may not reach the rear and directly attack. Even here. Therefore, it may be when Chen Can initiates an attack. However, for us, it is the most suitable arrangement to wait and see the changes temporarily.”

Liu Che was nodded, he changed the front and said “His Royal Highness, in the first battle this morning, we tested the battle strength of Chen Can’s army. Chen Can’s battle strength was extremely tyrannical and difficult to deal with. Fortunately, we were fully prepared to block Chen Can’s attack. Although we said this battle was a pincer, it was also a tough battle.”

Du Qi said: “Can you have the confidence to win?”

Liu Che suddenly laughed and said: “This little confidence still has a humble job. Even if Chen Can is fierce, our people will be silent.”

Du Qi said: “Chen Can’s camp, there is a guard. Looking at you?”

Liu Che shook his head and said: “That’s not true.”

Du Qi said: “The reason why you don’t stare at Chen Can is probably because you belong to the defense. For the time being, don’t care about what Chen Can does, and hold Azure Co. w Mountain is. But after joining Chen Can, he also discovered the small road leading to Hongshan County, and then quietly secreted Chen Cang. What are you going to do? “

After Liu Che heard it, he thought about it carefully and said: “It’s because the final will be incomplete, and the final will be arranged immediately. “

Du Qi said: “Make arrangements. “

“Yes! “

Liu Che immediately arranged it.

Du Qi is on the mountain now, but he is not idle. He carefully observed the mountain and confirmed that there is no hidden danger in Azure Cow Mountain. , Then returned to the place where the army was stationed on the mountain to rest.

When Du Qi was at ease, Chen Can’s mood in the camp of the Fire Nation Army was not very good.

The reason is very good.

Simply, the attack on Azure Cow Mountain was defeated.

If you can’t take Azure Cow Mountain, then you will not be able to help Gulha, and the forces of both sides will not be able to converge.

Chen Can sits on the main seat.

Lan Jiuzhen sits below.

In addition to Chen Can, there are other counselors and generals below.

Chen Can looked around everyone and said solemnly: “Now Du Qi people are stuck in Azure Cow Mountain. Next, how should we break the enemy? Let’s talk about it all. Without breaking Azure Cow Mountain, it will not be able to rush to the rescue, nor can it unite with Gulha’s forces to attack. “

“My lord, why not let Gulha play and join us in attacking Azure Cow Mountain?” “

Among the crowd, a general speaks.

The general’s name is Peng Qihua.

He is General under Chen Can’s command and is also among generals in the fire country. well-know figure. Although it is not the military Number One Person, but this time with Chen Can, Peng Qihua is the chief general of the army.

Lan Jiuzhen said: “General Peng, your idea is good. But such an idea is simply unreliable. “

Peng Qihua said: “Why? “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “There is a very simple truth. If Du Qi concentrates all his troops on Azure Cow Mountain, he must not adopt a defensive strategy, but an offensive strategy. Now his strategy is defense, which means that there must be Du Qi’s army outside Hongshan County, intending to break the city and directly destroy the rear. Therefore, our king’s forces are now going to aid Azure Cow Mountain and flanking with the fire king’s army, it is simply impossible. “

Chen Can echoed: “Mr. Lan’s analysis has some truth. “

Lan Jiuzhen continued: “Fire King, the current situation should be roughly a two-to-two situation. My king is confronting Du Qi’s army in the capital, and we are now confronting this defensive Xia Country army in Azure Cow Mountain. This situation depends on their respective strengths. If we win in Azure Cow Mountain, or if our king wins in the country, we will have an advantage if we win anywhere. “

“Furthermore, you can defeat the opponent and form a momentum of flanking. “

“Of course, if it was Du Qi’s army, it won in any place. Regardless of whether it is the capital city or Azure Cow Mountain, then Du Qi has won. “

Lan Jiuzhen analyzed: “So at the moment, it depends on which side has the advantage first.” As long as it is the first to gain an advantage, it can control the situation of this battle and thus win the battle. “

Chen Can nodded said: “What do you think of Mr. Lan’s analysis?” “

Peng Qihua said: “The final will agree. “

He is not a stubborn person. Since Lan Jiu really makes sense in his analysis, he naturally listens to Lan Jiu. After all, they are only now at war with Xia Country’s army, and you must be cautious next. , So it’s very important to maintain a humble attitude and not to engage in internal conflict without authorization.

The rest of the people also expressed their views and agreed.

Chen Can continued: “Since Mr. Lan has Reason, then everything is back to the original point and everything is back to the original situation. How do we break the defense of Azure Cow Mountain. In today’s battle, you have also seen the army battle strength of Xia Country. The opponent’s artillery fire was obviously extremely fierce. Furthermore, there are firearms for ambushes at the foot of the mountain, and as soon as a person steps on it, he is immediately hit. “

“We are going to climb, but we encounter obstacles. “

“In short, it is not an easy task to win this battle at the moment. So all talk about how to break Azure Cow Mountain. On our line, we cannot pin all hopes on Gulha. “

Chen Can has bright light glittering in his eyes and said: “If Gulha loses, then the next step, our situation is not good. So now, we must win as soon as possible. “

Everyone is a little silent.

If you haven’t encountered the situation of Azure Cow Mountain World War I, the crowd would be solemnly vowed, with full confidence.

It’s not easy to fight in the first battle.

Lan Jiu really hopes to win early. He immediately said: “Fire King, about the next fight. Here I have some basic ideas. “

Chen Can said: “Let’s listen. “

Lan Jiuzhen’s eyes flashed light and said: “The advantage of artillery fire lies in the intensive bombing. But such a bombing, anyway, still requires a certain amount of aim. So now, we can choose to attack at night. “

A light flashed in Chen Can’s eyes, and some thoughts in his heart, said: “How to attack? “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “The general intention of Xia Country in this battle is actually not to let us go to the county and not let us pass through Azure Cow Mountain. Under such a premise, we will not break through for the time being and focus on solving this force on Azure Cow Mountain. “

“When it gets dark in the evening, when night falls, all of us quietly touched Azure Cow Mountain. Although the night is dark, but on Azure Cow Mountain, the other party has a torch burning. We touched it quietly and still could see it. “

“After our people narrowed the distance, the other party’s artillery gradually lost its effect. Especially after zooming in within a hundred steps, the cannon is basically useless. “

Lan Jiuzhen talked eloquently and continued: “Although the people of Xia Country have ambushed many dangers on the official road. But if we don’t follow this line, we won’t be affected, we just go up the mountain. “

“Everyone, as soon as they approached the mountain, they swarmed to attack. “

“In this way, the artillery was abandoned, and it was a hand-to-hand fight. The battle strength of the soldiers of the fire country is extremely strong. After all the soldiers rushed up and fought, I believe it is enough to win a battle. “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “As long as this battle is won, then the Azure Cow Mountain defense line will be broken. Then we can go directly to Hongshan County, join our Wang Liying, and fight Du Qi together. “

After Chen Can heard it, his eyes lit up.

What is the most daunting thing about Xia Country is the weapon of Xia Country, which is very powerful and very bad. Respond.

At night, these can be avoided.

You can also play the battle strength of the fire country.

Chen Can’s eyes fall again on Lan Jiuzhen’s eyes revealed an undisguised expression of approval. Lan Jiuzhen is indeed capable. It is a pity to follow Gulha.

Chen Can has a face on his face. With a smile, he said: “Mr. Lan, after this war, you will work for the king, what do you think? “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “Fire King, all my thoughts now are to kill Du Qi.” For the rest, I’ll temporarily…”

Before speaking, Chen Can interrupted directly: “Mr. Lan, don’t rush to refuse. I am in the fire country, because considering the reasons of centralization, my fire country has never established a prime minister, and all matters are reported directly to the king. If Mr. Lan is willing to work for me, then I will directly appoint the prime minister and ask Mr. Lan to be responsible for the government affairs of my fire country. “

Blue Jiuzhen said: “Fire King, this…”

He wants to speak again, but when he speaks, Chen Can interrupts again: “Mr. Lan, don’t Anxiously refuse. Now that Ming Guo is In name only, it is impossible to continue. After all, Gulha had already decided to submit to his king. “

“You are for your family, for your Gulha and the others, and even for your relatives and friends, this is also the best decision. After all, the higher your power, the higher the position you hold, and the greater protection capabilities you have. “

“Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to protect anything. “

“Mr. Lan, it is not unreasonable for people to take the tea to cool. “

Chen Can continued: “This is the end of the matter. A wise man like Mr. Lan should consider a retreat for himself and for those who care about him. At this time, no time can be delayed. Otherwise, after you have completely defeated Du Qi and missed the opportunity this time, I am afraid your family, even Gulha and the others, will be affected. Once, Gulha was your backer, but then you will be the backer of Gulha, the person that Gulha depends on. “

Lan Jiu really hesitated.

In his heart, he is actually not sure whether Gulha still has ambitions at the moment?

The so-called return to the fire country .

This matter should be to avenge Gu Chengye, but can Gulha really abandon his inheritance?

When Lan Jiuzhen thought about it, he changed his mind. Another thing came to mind. Today’s Gulha is very old. Even after fighting with Du Qi continuously, Gulha’s body can no longer hold it.

With Du Qi, maybe Gulha will fall ill.

Can’t make it anymore.

After Lan Jiu really figured it out, nodded said: “Okay, I’m willing to submit. “

“hahaha……”

Chen Can laughed loudly and said with a smile: “This king has Mr. Lan’s help, which is like a tiger that has grown wings. Our Fire Country took the area of ​​Ming Country and then the entire Xia Country area. Then, there is the foundation of all ages, and the strength to truly contend for the world. “

Lan Jiuzhendao: “His Royal Highness said it is very true. “

Chen Can looked around everyone and said: “The next strategy is already known. So, get ready to make arrangements. Tonight, we will attack Azure Cow Mountain, in a spurt of energy, to break the defense line of Azure Cow Mountain. “

“Yes! “

Everyone responded together.

All of them have expressions of expectation, and even the fighting spirit is still high.

The reason is very simple, it is Chen As Can just said, once Du Qi’s army is destroyed, Ming Country is captured, and then Xia Country is captured, you will have the power to contend for the world.

Chen Can’s status is improved, and their status is naturally as well. the tide rises, the boat floats.

This is corresponding.

So many people are going down.

Lan Jiuzhen never left, waiting for everyone After all left, Lan Jiuzhen said seriously: “His Majesty, there is one more thing about the humble position, and His Highness must agree. “

Chen Can flicked his sleeves and said, “But it doesn’t matter. “

Blue Jiuzhen said: “This matter is about Gulha. He has experienced the pain of losing his son. After taking down Du Qi’s army, there may be some offenses in Gulha’s words, so I beg your Highness Neng Haihan. “

He did it deliberately.

Let’s talk about this first, so that Chen Can has a bottom. After all, Gulha without his son is very easy to lose control. For the safety of Gulha and the future happiness of his Younger Sister Blue Surname, he still wants to talk about it.

Chen Can said: “Please rest assured, my king understands. Gulha has experienced the pain of losing a child and can understand. This king still has this little breast and measurement. “

Blue Jiuzhen said: “His Royal Highness is wise! “

Chen Can said: “Speaking of which, this king and Mingguo also fought several times. Mingguo’s strength is not weak, but specific talents, this king does not know. Mr. Lan, who are the talents in Mingguo? “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “Zhao Tianxin, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, is good at governing places. In fact, Ming’s taxation is relatively strict, and it is not easy for the people. Prime Minister Zhao has been supporting him, making Mingguo keep running well. Such a person is very good and worthy of being recruited by His Highness. “

Chen Can stroked his beard and said, “Anything else?” “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “In addition, Zhong Yunwu, Yang Zheng and other generals, as well as Zhao Tianxin’s son and son-in-law, are all good talents. These people are all worth recruiting. Your Highness has big ambitions and wants to recruit talents, which is excellent. “

Chen Candao: “Talents are the foundation of development. This king is well aware of this. “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “But compared to talents, there is actually one more thing that needs to be considered. “

Chen Can said: “What’s the matter? “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “That’s the problem of the people, why Du Qi’s army can win consecutively.” In fact, he used the people to disrupt the military’s mind. What Du Qi has always promoted is to exempt the entire Ming State from taxes and to let the people have land to cultivate. Therefore, there are countless people willing to work for Du Qi. Even these soldiers, considering their family members and considering that they are also members of the Ming Kingdom, their military spirit was shaken. “

Chen Can said: “Mr. Lan means that after the king has taken the Ming Kingdom, and even after the attack on Xia Country, he must adopt the same strategy, and he must also appease the people and pay agricultural taxes. The relief and granting of land? “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “It would be unrealistic to copy everything.” The reason is simple. The taxes in the fire country have never been exempted. Once it is fully reduced, the people of the fire country will feel resentment and anger. So at the moment, the best thing is to reduce it. In short, we must try to win the hearts of the people and let the people stand on your side. “

Chen Can said: “This king understands. “

Chen Can also praised the news mentioned by Lan Jiuzhen. It is worthy of being a person he values, and the strategy proposed is indeed very important and is conducive to the development of Huo Nation.

The most important thing is that having Lan Jiuzhen is equivalent to having a guide in Ming Country.

Everything will be easier.

Chen Chan said: “Sir, when you arrive in Hongshan County, when the time comes, you will have to work hard for Zhao Tianxin and the others to recruit. “

Lan Jiuzhen said: “This is a matter of humble duty. “

Chen Can’s heart is even more joyful, but what he doesn’t know is that Gulha is dead a long time ago, Zhao Tianxin and the others have already surrendered, and they have all become Du Qi’s people.

He is still dreaming now.

I still want to expand his influence, and also want to enhance his own strength.

Chen Canhigh- spirited and vigorous, said smugly: “Mr. Lan, go to rest and rest. There will be a battle during the day and another battle tonight. Cultivate enough spirit, because tonight is very likely to be a fight overnight. “

“Yes! “

Lan Jiuzhen stopped staying, got up and left.

Chen Can sat in the camp, but his face was filled with joy. After taking Chen Can, he The fire country will bring it up a level.
