HBWnovel Chapter 78
Chapter 78
Jiang Dahu already knew that Jia Lian's predictions were as good as God's. Jia Lian's words were unexpected, so he nodded and said, "Uncle Dingyuan is about to go to war, so Jiang shouldn't bother me. It's just that Jiang has tried his best and still hasn't found it." Seeing the whereabouts of Situ Shuo, I have to ask Uncle Ding Yuan to help me find out more details."
Jia Lian nodded and said, "Master Jiang, please sit down." He poured two cups of tea himself, handed one cup to Jiang Dahu, and drank one cup himself.Then he continued: "Among the princes, Situ Shuo hides extremely deeply. He has been able to keep his ambitions hidden for so many years, so he is naturally a cautious person. When the fifth prince is being used by him to point his sword at the grandson of the emperor, I am afraid that Situ Shuo will Made all the preparations.
Such a person is ambitious and extremely vigilant. The fifth prince was unaware that Master Jiang went to investigate Zeng Yuqi's family members, but Situ Shuo might be vigilant.If my guess is correct, then Situ Shuo would either have escaped or hid himself. "
Jiang Dahu was able to go from being a deserter at the frontier to becoming Jinghe Emperor's confidant spy, and taking charge of the dawn, he is naturally a capable person. Without Jia Lian's reminder, Jiang Dahu probably guessed when Situ Shuo escaped.It's just that I have built Lixiao by myself for many years, and I ask myself how many things in the world cannot escape my eyes, but I have followed Situ Shuo for several days, but there is no clue, and Jiang Dahu will inevitably be frustrated.
"Jiang is incompetent. He tried his best, but he couldn't even find a single hair of Situ Shuo. Uncle Dingyuan knew things like a god. According to Uncle Dingyuan, is Situ Shuo hiding or fleeing?" Jiang Dahu asked.
Jia Lian led the soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion to practice all day today. He was tired and thirsty. He drank the remaining half cup of tea and poured himself another cup. , I'm really not sure where he is now. Let me just guess, Master Jiang just listen. I think Master Jiang will be able to find clues about Situ Shuo's whereabouts within five days."
Jiang Dahu is naturally a smart person to be able to achieve today's achievements. As soon as Jia Lian said this, Jiang Dahu immediately understood Jia Lian's meaning: "Uncle Dingyuan said that Situ Shuo would use himself as bait, revealing clues at the right time, calling Our pursuit? What is his intention in doing this? To lead us to a place to catch us all? But he is a prince, is it worth it?"
Jia Lian shook his head solemnly and said, "It's not Situ Shuo who used himself as bait, but Situ Shuo was used as bait."
Hearing this, Jiang Dahu was taken aback, and the teacup in his hand made a soft noise: "How is this possible? Uncle Dingyuan means that Situ Shuo also obeys orders and makes wedding clothes with others?"
Jia Lian raised his head to look at the south and said: "Situ Shuo dared to think of a big position, so naturally he would not be willing to obey others, but the oriole, the cicada, and the mantis were behind him, and Situ Shuo thought he was taking advantage of the fifth prince, Situ Yan, but he didn't know I have just been used by others. If my guess is correct, someone will reveal Situ Shuo's whereabouts to Mr. Jiang in the past few days, but it seems that Mr. Jiang's subordinates have worked hard to find out."
Rao Jiang Dahu has long been trained to have a strong heart after going up and down the knife point all these years, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing Jia Lian's words.If Jia Lian's words are right, it means that there is a very powerful force, which is brave and resourceful, and powerful enough to control Situ Shuo's actions.What's even more frightening is that this mysterious force has not revealed any possessions so far, and its mysterious and powerful existence is becoming more and more daunting.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Dahu exhaled a breath, and said: "Although Uncle Dingyuan's words are unbelievable, but after thinking about it, it is very reasonable. I believe in Uncle Dingyuan's words. Uncle Dingyuan will set off tomorrow. Jiang wishes Uncle Dingyuan every success and an early date. Trapped the Nanman, and returned with honor. Jiang will leave first."
Jia Lian stood up and said, "Then I will thank Mr. Jiang for his good words."
Jiang Dahu clasped his fist at Jia Lian, turned around and left the study of Lixiangyuan.Jiang Dahu, who practiced martial arts, walked very fast, and within a few steps he reached the gate of the courtyard. Jia Lian's heart trembled, and suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly called Jiang Dahu and said, "Master Jiang."
Jiang Dahu turned around and asked, "What else can Uncle Dingyuan do?"
Jia Lian said: "It's nothing, it's all something Mr. Jiang knows, I'm just talking too much. Even if Mr. Jiang wants to take the trouble, don't neglect the precautions of the capital."
Jiang Dahu's roughness has subtleties, and these principles are naturally understood. It's just about his ability to predict things. Jiang Dahu thinks that among the people he knows, no one is better than Jia Lian. Jia Lian will go south tomorrow. Today's words are not in vain. .So Jiang Dahu said solemnly: "Jiang can save it. Jiang waits for Uncle Dingyuan to return with a good reputation, and take over for Uncle Dingyuan."
Jia Lian nodded and smiled, "I'm waiting to drink Master Jiang's fine wine."
After sending Jiang Dahu away, Jia Lian ordered people to prepare water for bathing.While taking a bath, Jia Lian sorted through several new clues.
In the original book, Jing and Emperor lost their authority when hunting.In the past, Jia Lian had never guessed who the new emperor was in the original book, but now it seems clear.It was probably Situ Shuo who used Situ Yu as a springboard to become the new emperor.This also explains why the Jiangnan Zhen family ransacked their homes before the four major families in the original book.Because the Zhen family is Situ Yu's natal family, after Situ Shuo sat on the dragon chair, it was only logical that he should get rid of Situ Yu first.But in the original book, the Jia Wang family actually accepted the dirty money sent by the Zhen family. It can be seen that the Jia family's second wife is bold, greedy, and has no political consciousness.
Early the next morning, on behalf of Emperor Jing He, the grandson of the emperor practiced for the two armies going south.
The two armies fought, and the swords and guns had no eyes. I don't know how many people were shrouded in horses and leather. Jia Lian originally thought that Wei Jiu, Qin Yue, Guan Qishou, Cheng Jin, Cheng Qu, Fan Xun brothers and sisters, Li Qing and others were ordinary people. Taking the imperial salary, he prepared to dismiss the staff members left behind by Jia Daishan. He only brought a group of new members of the Jia family and sent them out of the south gate under the orders of the clansmen.
Jia Lian was riding a tall horse, and Jia Yun behind him was carrying a banner with Jia's characters on it, and a group of people marched on the official road.Not far away, Jia Lian saw a few familiar horses tied outside the long pavilion in front of him. Jia Lian patted the horses and rushed forward. Who was Wei Jiu and his party sitting in the teahouse?
When everyone walked out of the teahouse, Fan Xun said: "Second Master Lian is too stingy. He went to see the scenery of southern Xinjiang by himself, but he didn't take us to see it. All of us, except for the brothers of the Cheng family, have never been to southern Xinjiang."
Jia Lian was so moved that he didn't say anything, but suddenly remembered those comrades in the anti-drug war on the Yunnan-Myanmar border.It seems to be laughing and cursing, but in fact, he can give his back to the other brother.And the people in front of me who have lived and died with me, aren't they also comrades-in-arms whom I can rely on for life and death?
Jia Lian laughed and said, "Although Southern Xinjiang is located on the border, it has beautiful scenery, and it is worth visiting together. Gentlemen, please."
Wei Jiu and the others got on their horses and patted the horses and headed south together.
Jia Lian was the vanguard of the Southern Expedition. He led three thousand cavalrymen in plain clothes and traveled quickly. On the way, they encountered countless refugees fleeing from refugees. Looking at the situation of the refugees, Jia Lian knew that the battle ahead was not optimistic, so he hurried on his way even more.However, after more than a month, Jia Lian led [-] pioneers to the edge of Sichuan, while the South Vietnamese army had already occupied Yunnan and Guangdong.
Although South Vietnam has annexed large areas of Siam, Guangdong, and Yunnan, in any case, compared to the imperial court, South Vietnam is nothing more than a small country.Regardless of whether it is military replenishment or material reserves, it is difficult for South Vietnam alone to compete with the imperial court for a long time. What South Vietnam relies on is to quickly annex the land and rob the local Rich families plundered food and materials for military supplies, and forced the strong to organize into an army to supplement the lost soldiers.
The more this is the case, the fallen land will be devastated, and the people will suffer unspeakably.
When Jia Lian arrived at Dechuan, half a year had passed since South Vietnam annexed Siam.The land of Sichuan and Yunnan has high mountains and dangerous waters. Fortunately, South Vietnam has many mountains, but South Vietnam soldiers are also familiar with mountain warfare. They suddenly launched a war and caught Siam by surprise. They annexed Siam and sent troops to Yunnan in just two months.The South Vietnamese soldiers did not feel any discomfort when they arrived in Sichuan and Yunnan.
Ancient times were no better than modern times, because transportation and communication were very backward, and the further you went to the borderlands, the weaker the central government's control over the localities.Although Yunnan is also the territory of the imperial court, and the chieftains of Yunnan are also canonized by the imperial court, the chieftains of Yunnan are the local hereditary leaders who monopolize the military and political power in Yunnan, just like the local emperors of Yunnan.
The place in Yunnan has always been a heart problem for Emperor Jinghe, but the emperor of the Central Plains is very far away, and the people of Yunnan are more loyal to the local chieftain, coupled with inconvenient transportation, unique terrain and other factors, Emperor Jinghe has strengthened the means of controlling Yunnan in recent years. worked.
After more than ten years of prospect and emperor dispatched five teams to patrol the five places across the country, Emperor Jinghe strengthened his control over Guangdong Sea. Originally, Guangdong Sea and Yunnan were adjacent to each other, and they were restrained by Guangdong Sea. Emperor Jinghe expected Gao Yuantai, chieftain of Yunnan As long as the side is on the safe side, it will not be the enemy of the imperial court with pebbles against stones. Who knows that this time when South Vietnam violated the border, Gao Yuantai turned against him and attacked Yuehai together with the South Vietnam army.
The governor of Guangdong and Hai desperately resisted, but how could the army stationed in one place be able to resist the strength of the whole country of South Vietnam?What's more, South Vietnam has Gao Yuantai's army to help.
After resisting for several months, the governor of Guangdong had no choice but to fight and retreat. He went to the edge of Sichuan to join the army of Bashu Jiedu envoys, relying on the favorable terrain of Palton City to deal with the South Vietnamese Army. When they arrived with [-] pioneers, the two armies had been facing each other for more than half a month.
Although only [-] vanguards arrived, the Bashu Jiedu envoy Zhou Zhen'an and the local defenders were greatly boosted when they learned that the imperial reinforcements had arrived.Immediately blowing the trumpet to announce the order, the shouts shook the sky, and the formation seemed like thousands of troops came.
The two mountains outside the south gate of Panlong City face each other. The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a barrier on the side of the river.It's just that the enemy's army is ten times larger than the defender's. If the reinforcements arrive late, it will inevitably affect the morale of the defenders.No matter relying on geographical advantages, Panlong City will not be able to defend sooner or later.Fortunately, at this time, the reinforcement vanguard has arrived.
After Jia Lian led the army to arrive, although the supply of soldiers and food and grass was limited, it had an immeasurable effect on boosting morale. The morale of the local defenders was greatly boosted. win.
After arriving in Panlong City, Jia Lian learned more detailed battle situation ahead from Bashu Jiedu envoy and Guangdong Governor. After pondering for a while, he took a pen and paper, wrote a letter to Guan Qishou, and locked himself into the account. Inside, he ordered that no one should disturb him if there was nothing important to do.
Now the governor of Guangdong and Hai is taking refuge in Bashu Jiedushi, and Zhou Zhenan is an overview of fighting against the enemy.After Jia Lian led the army to arrive, Zhou Zhen'an thought that reinforcements were coming, but Jia Lian's unexpected behavior made Zhou Zhen'an confused.If you don't say anything, you will inevitably feel unhappy.
Fortunately, Jia Lian was accompanied by not only capable people like Wei Jiu, but also a counselor like Fan Xun who was familiar with the art of war and had experienced the chaos of King Chang'an, as well as a team of Jia's children trained by Jia Lian who were proficient in modern combat skills. Elite soldiers.
Even though Jia Lian stayed behind closed doors, Fan Xun commanded the army, Jia Yun led the Jia family's children as pioneers, and Wei Jiu and others went deep into the enemy's camp as if they were in nowhere.Although Jia Lian was nowhere to be seen, the people brought by Jia Lian were not at all chaotic, and they acted in a very orderly manner, which dispelled Zhou Zhenan's doubts.
After several days of confrontation with the enemy, the three thousand pioneers brought by Jia Lian not only wiped out several small South Vietnamese troops, but also captured a few spies.
At first, Zhou Zhen'an thought that although reinforcements from the capital had arrived, most of the court troops who came from the capital were from the north and were not familiar with the terrain in the southwest.Unexpectedly, the three thousand vanguards not only didn't suffer a loss, but even got a lot of money after several short battles.Among them, a group of Jia family children led by Jia Yun is the most outstanding.
Most of the children of Jia's family were teenagers. These people were physically strong and quick-witted. What surprised Zhou Zhenan most was that these young people were brave and resourceful in battle, and they were very familiar with fighting in the mountains.This group of people can only see the shuttle in the mountains and mountains, the dragon can't see the head and the tail, and it can always surprise the enemy.
Of course, what Zhou Zhenan didn't know was that under the harassment of Jia Yun and a small number of people, Guan Qishou took the opportunity to send a letter to the enemy's central army account.
On this day, Jia Yun and his party brought back the head of another low-ranking officer of the South Vietnamese Army back to the camp. Only then did Zhou Zhen'an completely dispel his doubts about Jia Lian's strange behavior, and instead kept talking to Jia Yun and his party.
Although Zhou Zhen'an lived in Shu, Jia Lian's reputation spread far and wide, and Zhou Zhen'an had also heard of Jia Lian's reputation.It's just that no matter how great Jia Lian is after being a general, how many shocking things he has done, after all, he is a boy in his teens, but no matter how capable he is, how can he be so powerful?Zhou Zhenan always felt that those rumors were exaggerated.
Now that he saw the style and ability of Jia Yun and his group, before Jia Lian made a move, Zhou Zhenan changed his previous prejudice against Jia Lian, and praised Jia Lian from the bottom of his heart.
It was not until seven days later that Jia Lian came out of the tent.Because during these seven days, the imperial army won several small victories, among which the Jia family's children led by Jia Yun were outstanding, so Zhou Zhen'an naturally warmed up to Jia Lian, and said with a smile: "Uncle Dingyuan strategized and thought hard for seven days, Did you think of any clever plan to defeat the enemy? Mr. Yun has already made great achievements before he had had time to rest for a few days when he first arrived in Panlong City, if Uncle Dingyuan makes a move, I am afraid that the Nanyue barbarians will never come back."
I saw Jia Lian coming out with a few scrolls in his arms, and said with a smile, "Master Zhou is absurd. Although Yun'er is a good boy, she should not be praised by Master Zhou. Master Zhou defended Panlong City with less than [-]% of the South Vietnamese Army's strength." In time, not only was he a hero, but he also saved many Liming people in the rear, Master Zhou is a role model for my generation."
After finishing speaking, Jia Lian unfolded the scroll in his hand on the big case and said: "My grandfather taught me some southern terrains before. I drew them hastily, and I don't know if they are accurate. Mr. Zhou, let's see if these maps are useful." After Jia Lian arrived in Panlong City, he stayed behind closed doors, actually drawing these pictures.
Zhou Zhen'an walked up to the case, and only glanced at the map Jia Lian had spread out, and was immediately astonished.I saw that not only the mountains, rivers and landforms of Yunnan and South Vietnam were drawn on the Kanyu map, but even the distance between each strategic location was marked. This map is more accurate and detailed than the Kanyu map used by the imperial court.
Zhou Zhenan was pleasantly surprised, and looked carefully at the map, only to see that this map was different from the maps he was familiar with, but the map drawn by Jia Lian seemed more intuitive and easy to understand. Used in combat, it will definitely make the court military more effective with half the effort.
After a long while, Zhou Zhen'an sighed: "It's amazing, it's amazing. Zhou admires the gully in Uncle Dingyuan's chest. With this picture, the imperial army will surely be even more powerful."
In order to minimize casualties, every soldier who fought on the Yunnan-Myanmar border was familiar with maps of the entire southwestern China and the jungles of Southeast Asia. The maps drawn by Jia Lian were drawn based on memories of previous lives.
In the jungle area, vines are entangled, towering trees block out the sky, and many places are no-man's land.In ancient times, it has never been set foot by outsiders.The map used by the imperial court was naturally advanced and detailed in the background of the times at that time, but in Jia Lian's view, it was still very rough.Compared with the satellite surveying and mapping military maps of later generations, I don't know how far it is.Although Jia Lian's map was drawn from memory, such a map was already a great advantage when used in ancient battles.
But the so-called vicissitudes of life, although Jia Lian is sure that the mountains and rivers in the southwestern region and Southeast Asia have not changed, but there are many geological disasters such as earthquakes and mudslides in the mountainous areas. The terrain of this generation may be different from that of later generations. This picture is only for Zhou Zhenan to use as a reference.
If so, Zhou Zhenan was too shocked to speak by this picture.He is the governor of Bashu, and he is most familiar with the topography of Shu. He compared the map drawn by Jia Lian to see the part of Shu. Although the topography of Shu in his own memory is slightly different, it is already very rare.
It's just that although Jia Yan and Jia Daishan are famous generals in this dynasty, they mainly fight in the north, so why are they so familiar with the terrain of southern Xinjiang?A trace of doubt floated in Zhou Zhen'an's heart, and he said to himself: Zhou Zhen'an, Zhou Zhen'an, what are you doing with so little knowledge and suspicion?Just looking at Jia Yun's ability to lead the group of Jia's teenagers, it is not surprising that there is any family education in the Rongguo Duke's mansion.
Jia Lian saw Zhou Zhenan's approval of the general plan. While studying the war, Jia Lian took time to sort out his thoughts. He selected the basic strategic points in his memory, drew a detailed map and formulated a conquest plan according to local conditions.
In the camp of the South Vietnamese Army, a few days ago, the commander of the South Vietnamese Army received a letter from the imperial army, and after reading the letter, he became furious.
It turned out that the first line of the letter read: Mr. Hanguan, Zhan Xinjia.In addition, the letter also detailed several clever strategies, all of which were the combat plans formulated by the South Vietnamese army commander.He also said in his heart that the essence of Rong Guogong's art of war stolen by Lai Shangrong was only a fragment. Later, Jia Daishan made a lot of supplements. For half of the art of war, Mr. Hanguan might as well ask Duke Rong Guo for advice in person.
Back then, when Nanny Fan was exposing the art of war in Lixiangyuan, she accidentally let Jia Zhu see that Jia Lian and Jia Daishan were both intelligent people, and had already prepared a book on war in the study.Originally, the grandparents and grandchildren were just making extra preparations, so they naturally didn't want Jia Zhu to really steal the art of war, but Jia Zhu not only went, but also attracted foreign thieves.
There are countless capable people in the world. Both Jia Daishan and Jia Lian knew that the enemy should never be underestimated on the battlefield. Those who are familiar with the strategy can tell at a glance whether the strategy in the book of war is clever or not. Not fooled by fake books.As Jia Lian said in his letter, the military book that Lai Shangrong stole back then was only a fragment. Of course, apart from this, the grandfather and grandson had other preparations.
Naturally, Jia Lian had written this letter in advance, and before drawing the map behind closed doors, he handed it to Guan Qishou, and asked him to try to send it into the enemy's account.
In fact, Jia Lian was not sure whether Zhen Hanguan was really in the South Vietnamese army, and this move was just a trial. .Even if he guessed wrong, the Nanyue coach would just be burned when he saw such an incomprehensible letter; however, if he guessed right, this letter would definitely mess up Zhen Hanguan's mind.
And the South Vietnamese army commander is the mysterious Zhen Hanguan.As Jia Lian expected, when Zhen Hanguan saw the letter, he was really angry and frightened. Not only did he turn pale with anger after reading the letter, he also tore the letter to pieces and burned all the pieces to ashes.After doing all this, Zhen Hanguan still trembled.
Seeing this, the guards and entourage were baffled by Zhen Hanguan's anger, so they dared not approach, but Lou Tianlie, the Bone Master who turned into Zhen Hanguan's guard, stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Hanguan, what is written in the letter?" What?"
Zhen Hanguan was strategically strategized, with outstanding ingenuity, and the Chen family was deep. That is to say, the several strategies written in Jia Lian's letter were all within his original battle plan. It caused him to lose his composure.Lou Tianlie stepped forward to inquire, but instead interrupted Zhen Hanguan's thoughts, Zhen Hanguan woke up from the rage and fear, and recovered his normal expression: "It's nothing, it's a small skill, and the battle between the two armies is no different. How many."
In front of the tent, he has experienced a lot of scolding Lou Tianlie, those words are all unsavory words, if those things are in the letter, Lou Tianlie will not take it to heart.
The so-called heart attack is the first, and the so-called two armies are at war with the brave.When soldiers and soldiers meet, it is most taboo to be indecisive. Zhen Hanguan was originally a person who was familiar with military books, and he marched and fought like a god.It's just that since he received Jia Lian's letter, when he made a plan, he always thought that he only had half a book of war in his hand. He wondered if Jia Lian, as Jia Daishan's grandson, would have more powerful moves waiting for him.Therefore, Zhen Hanguan Mingming formulated a very good battle plan, but he hesitated, always fell into self-doubt, and his strategic literacy was greatly reduced.
As a result, it was delayed for another ten days, Jia Jing arrived one after another with the main army, and the fighting between the two armies changed from a small-scale conflict to a frontal contest.Because Zhen Han was hesitant in his concern, he was timid before fighting, just like a master whose hands and feet were bound, and suffered several defeats in a confrontation.
It can be said that the South Vietnamese Army captured Siam and captured Guangdong Sea. It can be said that the momentum is overwhelming, and because of this, the South Vietnamese Army is full of confidence and arrogant.Now that they have suffered consecutive defeats, coupled with the reputation of Jia Jing and Jia Lian, the morale of the South Vietnamese Army has been severely injured. In this battle, the loss of the South Vietnamese Army is far from being a simple casualty of many soldiers, but a fundamental morale injury.
Of course, Zhen Hanguan is not an ordinary person. He was shocked by Jia Lian's letter at first, and he was confused.After several confrontations, Zhen Hanguan found that the tactics and strategies used by the imperial court were still those he was familiar with, and even many Jia Daishan had detailed explanations in his military books, and there were no powerful countermeasures.After thinking about this verse, Zhen Hanguan said angrily: "I know how great Jia Daishan really is. What shocking military books and strategies can he write? It turns out that he is just annotating the things of the ancients. Jia Lian is not very old, but he is very good." Cunning, actually sang an empty city trick to me.
After stabilizing his mind, Zhen Hanguan regained his confidence in his strategy and tactics. Although he still lost more than he won, the two sides also won each other.
Except for Panlong City, the army going south also split up and went straight to other cities captured by the South Vietnamese Army.Battle reports flew into the camps of both sides like a snowflake, and both sides suffered losses.It's just that Jia Jing, as the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, obtained the soldier talisman granted by Emperor Jinghe. In addition to the [-] troops brought from the capital, he could dispatch troops and generals along the way, and the imperial army came continuously; Before the new city was built, the soldiers could not be replenished. They fought fiercely for several months, because many of the South Vietnamese Army's vital forces were wiped out.
