The evacuation of the people in Jiyang city was almost simultaneous with Xiao Jue's taking over the army of Jiyang city.
The people will not disobey the orders given by Wang Nu herself. Even if there is more confusion and doubt, hearing about the turmoil in the city, he will leave for the time being in order to save his family's life. The only people who do not leave are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled who can't go far. They can't move for various reasons, and they don't want to wander on the road. They prefer to die in their hometown.
Perhaps the most difficult thing to do is that some aristocratic families in Jiyang city have been unhappy with Mu Hongjin for many years, and have a different heart. However, Mu Hongjin has always been vigorous in his work. Although he is a woman, he has always suppressed all the voices of opposition. However, the crisis of Jiyang city is very fierce. Mu Hongjin is a bit of a person who lacks skills. These aristocratic families are ready to move and intend to take advantage of this opportunity to make some moves.
Mu Hongjin could not leave Jiyang city. Once she left, it not only gave those who opposed her secretly the opportunity, but also meant that she gave up the city and the people in the city. As the king daughter of Jiyang City, she enjoys the love and respect of the people. At this time, she should take responsibility.
A camouflaged and inconspicuous carriage slipped away from the gate of the palace.
Mu Hongjin, dressed as a maid of honor, stood at the gate of the palace, hiding most of his body behind the pillars and looking at the direction of Mu Xiaolou's departure.
Mu Xiaolou did not know about the crisis of Jiyang city. He naively thought that he was leaving to take the place of his grandmother to attend the birthday of the vassal king. He was very happy when he left and said that he would give Mu Hong a golden ribbon. When I came back, I was afraid it would be summer, and Mu Hongjin would accompany her to make sweet ice cream.
Until he could no longer see the back of the carriage, Mu Hongjin withdrew his eyes. He was about to turn back and stride into the mansion. After a glance, he seemed to see a man in white standing opposite him and could not help stopping to look at it.
He was a man in white. He could not see his face clearly. He hid in the yard across the street. The sun was shining down from the roof, casting a large shadow. He stood in the shadow and could not see his appearance clearly. He could only see clearly that he was wearing a long sword at his waist and a piano on his back.
The broad street, the stream of people, he looked up slightly from the crowd, as if looking at her across the crowd, but also as if not.
A carriage carrying the goods slowly drove by.
When Mu Hongjin raised her eyes again, only the dazzling sun and the shadow of no one on the other side of the street seemed just her illusion.
She stood still for a moment and walked away.
……
At night, the oil lamp in Cui's study is still on. There are big lanterns in the four corners, which makes the room bright. Cui Yuezhi's study is more like an armory than a study. There is nothing elegant and upright except a few scrolls on the table and the black wood shelf with books.
But he was not a reader.
There is a map on the wall. The map is so big that it takes up half of the wall. There is a river in the middle. The water whirlpool and reef near the river are clearly painted.
There were more than ten people sitting in the room, all of whom were martial arts men like Cui Yuezhi. These are Cui Yuezhi's colleagues and subordinates. If the uto people enter the city this time, these people should act as deputy soldiers of the Jiyang City Army and cooperate with Xiao Jue.
He Yan and Xiao Jue sit on one side, while feinu and chiwu stand behind with arms in their arms. Cui Yuezhi, holding a charcoal pen, drew a circle in a conspicuous place on the map.
"This is the only place where the canal is most suitable for landing," Cui Yuezhi pointed to the place he painted. "If you go ashore from here, the two armies will fight here. This place is smooth and suitable for the army of Jiyang City, but... " He looked at Xiao Jue, some guilty, "we have not enough people."
There won't be too many troops in Jiyang city. Emperor Wenxuan would not allow such a thing to happen. At that time, in order to protect himself, many vassals disbanded their troops, as was Mu Hongjin. It was the emperor Wenxuan's special kindness to leave behind less than 20000 Jiyang City troops.
In the case of 20000 troops, there is not enough rebellion to raise any big waves, but similarly, the uto people, who are used to resist perhaps tens of thousands of fierce soldiers, are even less confident. Don't you know that the general's face is useless to him?
"Not enough people and horses," Xiao Jue's eyes fell on the map and said in a low voice, "it's not enough boats."
"Boat?" One of Cui Yuezhi's subordinates looked at him and was puzzled.
Don't blame them. Jiyang city has been peaceful for so many years. Except Cui Yuezhi, the older ones, I'm afraid that the younger ones have never been to the real battlefield.
Xiao Jue's fingers gently tapped the tea cup in front of the lower part and said, "come on."
He Yan: "me?"
Cui Yuezhi and the rest of his men look at Heyan.
He Yan has now changed back to the dress of women's clothes. People here have heard of his defeat of Muyi in the martial arts arena. But what a female subordinate with outstanding skills can do is to protect the safety of the master and kill several people in the battlefield.
It is impossible for ordinary people to do such things as arranging troops and analyzing war reports. Moreover, the men, in general, are naturally superior to women in military affairs, so they are somewhat reluctant to take Xiao Jue's action. Thinking that the rumor is not true, people all say that general Feng Yun is cold and heartless, not close to female sex. It turns out that they are all fake. Now he has become dizzy because of his female subordinate who has "a lot to do with him".For a moment, people look at Xiao Jue's eyes, as if to see the lost monarch bewildered by the fox spirit's favorite concubine.
Over the years, he Yan has seen men's contempt for women for many times. If you want to teach these people to straighten their brains and think about it, they don't refuse. They stand up and walk to the map with a smile.
Cui Yuezhi retreated to his position, and the rest looked at Heyan with a look of "waiting for her to talk nonsense".
He Yan did not look at the map, only facing the people, said: "these are not important."
People don't understand.
"There is no other way to fight on the water. A big boat is better than a small boat, a big gun is better than a small gun, more boats are better than few boats, and more guns are better than fewer guns."
"You are a small boat, a few boats and a few guns. How to look at it, where to land and how to arrange the troops are not the most important. In addition to the Royal forbidden army, the great Wei Dynasty only talked about ships. As long as the utoes had enough boats, they could win. "
"If you want to win a battle with less, you can't do without a boat."
"They don't use so many people on the shore, on the water."
Although the people here have not fought in recent years, they are not fools. He Yan knows whether he talks nonsense or not. She hit the nail on the head and pointed out the crux of the problem. For a while, people despised her.
"Miss He," Cui Yuezhi said, "but you also know that in recent years, your majesty forbids raising troops without permission, let alone warships. The boats on the canal were originally used to transport goods or to carry people on a long journey. Jiyang city did not dare to build its own navy, let alone carry a firearm. "
He Yan sighs in his heart, she naturally knows this. After all, there was a feudalist rebellion in the previous dynasty. Since the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he paid special attention to reducing the vassal power. Today's several big vassal kings are actually the same as the nobility without real power in the capital city of Shuo.
"Dare to ask commander Xiao," one of Cui Yuezhi's men looked at Xiao Jue and asked cautiously, "conservatively, how about the Hutuo's troops and horses?"
Xiao Jue: "one hundred thousand, only a lot more."
The crowd took a breath.
Such differences in forces make people reluctant to give birth to hope.
"The people in the city have now been evacuated by his highness and left behind the city gate." A deputy's voice was dry, "we Just try to put off more time. "
Everyone is ready to sacrifice. The people who were evacuated from the city, as well as his highness, were preserved fires. What they can do is to buy more time for the people, and the city will be captured sooner or later.
Xiao Jue's eyes were clear and light swept through the crowd. She was just about to speak. Suddenly, the woman's clear voice rang out.
"It's not a good thing to have such a low morale. You know, there are still famous generals here. Do you know what a famous general is
The crowd was stunned.
"A war that should not be lost will not be lost, and a war that cannot be won will have a chance to win. This is called a famous general." He Yan raised his eyebrows, "it seems that there is no doubt that he will lose. All the famous generals can find out the breakthrough and turn defeat into victory. There are famous generals here who can turn the world around with one person's efforts. How can people handle themselves like this? "
She thought, here is not only a famous general, is a pair, the two big Wei generals are here, if you can lose, don't be a person.
People don't know her details, but they just look at Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue's subordinates really spare no effort to flatter him. Even in such a rotten chess game, they can believe that Xiao Jue can turn defeat into victory. Do you have to worship him more?
Cui Yuezhi was silent for a moment and asked Xiao Jue, "then governor Xiao, how should we turn defeat into victory?"
People don't know that Xiao Jue won the first battle with less than one hundred thousand Nanfu soldiers in Guo City. But at that time, it was pouring water into the city. It was attacking the city, not defending it. Jiyang and Guocheng are different in their environment. Jiyang is a water city. Although they are both water attack, they are different in nature.
Xiao Jue leaned on the back of the chair, left knuckle slightly raised, stroked over the tea cover, looked at Heyan, beautiful eyes are countless deep emotions, said: "you say."
He Yan frowned slightly.
"You've dealt with the utos, and you know more about the means of the utos than anyone else," he said
The methods of the uto people are rough and direct, which has something to do with their own way of doing things. So many years of hiding in the dark, from time to time to explore harassment, both arrogant and inferiority. After a long time of planning, Jiyang city was chosen as the first battle military feat. It is bound to make the battle more vigorous and powerful.
He Yan said: "water overcomes fire, water and fire are not allowed, it is better to attack with fire."
There was no one to speak in the study for a moment.
"Please tell Miss He more clearly." The way of Cui Yue.
He treated Heyan more respectfully. He felt that this girl was very different from other women and from other subordinates of Xiao Jue. For example, feinu and chiwu are also Xiao Jue's subordinates, but they only follow Xiao Jue's orders. Xiao Jue will not let them express their opinions as they are now. Although Heyan has always seemed to be very respectful to Xiao Jue, if you look at it carefully, it doesn't look like the relationship between the superior and the subordinate. Cui Yue's heart is big, but he can't see whether he loves or not, but he can feel that Heyan regards himself and Xiao Jue as the same status.If she is a man, she is more like a brother and friend than a master and servant with Xiao Jue.
"The boat used by the uto people may be very large. At least it's not like the cargo or manned boats in Jiyang city. Utopia is far away on land, and there is no sea around it. I think it is not as good as the city people in Jiyang. In my opinion, the biggest possibility is that they will take a big boat to the edge of Jiyang city. Go ashore from the place Cui Zhongqi pointed to just now, "she pointed to the place Cui Yuezhi just marked," if If they are close to each other's boats, they can use fire. Once the fire spread, Jiyang's small boat can leave quickly, but the uto's boat can't. We can take this opportunity to wipe out the main force of the uto people. "
No one has tried to use fire on the water. For a while, no one spoke. However, he Yan's words made everyone suddenly clear and excited, thinking about the feasibility of this plan.
"The wutuo troops have outnumbered us. We also know that Jiyang has been peaceful for many years, and is not an opponent of the uto people. They are certainly proud, arrogant and short-sighted. This is their weakness and our strong point."
As she spoke, her voice was soft and firm, clear and organized. Word by word, it seems that it can give people infinite confidence. Just listening to her words, the people who just thought this battle would be defeated felt that they might be able to create a battle in the history books, in which the less wins the more, which is admired by the world.
It's just Cui Yuezhi looks at Heyan in doubt. In such a short period of time, he comes up with a way to deal with it. Although it is not without loopholes, he has a unique way and points out the key to success or failure. Can ordinary women really do this? Not to mention women, even men, the commander-in-chief in the army for many years may not be able to respond so quickly. After all, there will be more than just a little talent and experience. But how old does he Yan look? It's said that a girl who is only seventeen or seventeen years old is already so powerful?
Xiao Jue's men are so fierce, nine flag camp is not crouching tiger, hidden dragon, Cui Yue's heart gave birth to a light chill.
"I just put forward this idea," He Yan said. "It's hard for me to grasp whether it can be implemented and how to implement it." He Yan knew that he said more, and consciously handed the words to Xiao Jue, "whether this plan is feasible depends on the governor's decision."
She could not have said that, but it is the responsibility of every general to take every battle seriously. What's more, Jiyang city is very good, and the people are also very warm and simple. She is not willing to let this beautiful place like a paradise be destroyed in the hands of the uto people. You know, the uto people occupied Jiyang, they would only go north all the way, and the whole people of Wei Dynasty suffered.
She will fight to the end.
Xiao's eyes, Yan He's standing up, look at the crowd.
He Yan lowered his head, avoided his thoughtful eyes and returned to his own position.
He picked up the charcoal pen which had just been put aside by Cui Yuezhi. In front of the mark Cui Yuezhi had just made, he circled it out again and made a brand new mark.
The new mark is in front of the old one, that is, in front of the shore of Jiyang City, there is a narrow exit. This is the place where the canal connects with the river in Jiyang City, such as a gourd mouth, which is sharp and thin. Only through this gourd mouth can we reach the real canal.
"Fire attack is feasible and can be ambushed here. It's a narrow road. Big boats can't get in. Small boats can go through it. "
As soon as Cui Yue's eyes were bright, Xiao Jue's eyes were very poisonous. This place was very suitable for ambush forces.
"As for the fire attack," Xiao Jue said, "it depends on the wind direction and terrain."
"There are people in the city who are in charge of watching the weather and the wind direction!" A Jiyang soldier said, "it's good to arrange the sowing of paddy fields in the farm on weekdays."
Another person hesitated to ask: "but if the wind direction on that day is opposite, how to do?"
"Then you can't fire." Xiao Jue said: "after all, the war is about the favorable time, place and people."
He Yan's mind, this is true, indispensable. Of course, Xiao Jue didn't finish his words. If the wind direction was in the opposite direction, there would be other ways.
However, war is a matter of luck. If God doesn't let you win, there are many examples of success or failure in history books. And what they have to do is to minimize these uncertainties.
This discussion on water attack has been discussed until midnight, when all the people dispersed. From the beginning, everyone was listless, pessimistic and disappointed to later energetic and spirited. It was just because of a "absurd" assumption put forward by Heyan.
When Lin Shuanghe saw this group of people come out, his expression was very different from the beginning. He was surprised and asked them, "what's the matter? What have you done in it? How can they be so happy? "
He Yan yawned, "of course, it's the reason and the emotion."
"That's not so much." Lin Shuanghe muttered, "I don't know. I thought you had a flower wine in it."
He Yan said:
She said, "it's getting late. I'll go and have a rest first. I'll talk about it tomorrow."
Lin Shuanghe nodded: "good."
He Yan went back to the house, corrected the battle array of Jiyang City Army in the daytime, and discussed the map at night. He felt very sleepy. When she was sitting in front of her desk, she was writing in front of her desk.He Yan came over to have a look, he did not know where to get a copy of the map Cui Yuezhi had just hung on the wall of his study. It was only a small one. Put the rubbings of the wutuo people's military defense map given by Chu Zhao to Mu Hongjin in one place, and compare what.
What he wrote was just put forward by He Yan, concerning the fire attack that may need attention. For example, how many ambushes should be set at the gourd mouth, the wind direction of that day, the gate and the guard arrangement in the city. Because there are too few troops in Jiyang City, we should be extremely cautious in arranging even one soldier.
It's like a little daughter-in-law who manages the family with frugality.
He Yan said, "governor, don't you sleep?"
"Sleep." Xiao Jue did not lift her head.
He Yan sighed in his heart that the first thing he needed when he was a teenager was talent, and he could get the top prize by sleeping in class. However, it is not only a matter of talent that she can always maintain the first place for many years. She also used to be the same when she was caressing the Vietnamese army. She had seen the ugly moon in the middle of the night.
Thinking about this, he said, "governor, I'll help you."
Just as he was saying, there was a knock on the door outside. It was Liu Bu forget: "ah he, can you rest?"
Liu didn't forget to come to her so late? He Yan and Xiao Jue looked at each other and said, "no, master, wait a moment."
She put on an outer garment and opened the door. Liu Bu forgot to stand outside the door. He must have just come back from the house. He Yan looked at the door and said, "come in and talk about it."
Liu did not forget to enter the door, saw Xiao Jue, nodded slightly to Xiao Jue, which was a salute. His eyes fell on the scroll in front of Xiao Jue, and then he said, "can the governor have a way to deal with the battle of Jiyang?"
"A little bit," He Yan said.
"What's the odds?"
He Yan: "50% at most."
It's better to be only half and half.
Liu did not forget to be silent for a moment and said, "the uto may soon start."
Xiao Jue looked at him: "what did Master Liu find out?"
"The uto people I'm looking for have gone in one direction, some of them have gone out of the city, and some have disappeared. They were aware of my whereabouts, and they could not conceal the news of Her Highness's evacuation of the people. " Liu did not forget: "the boat of the uto has not arrived yet. Now it is time to fight."
"In the shortest time, people in Jiyang should evacuate as far as possible, but there are civilians in the city who can't leave." Liu Bu forget's voice goes down.
He did not want civilians to be the lambs of the uto slaughter.
"Master," He Yan said, "you don't know how to make divination. Have you ever figured out whether you will win or lose this battle
"No solution."
He Yan: "no solution?"
In fact, as early as many years ago, when Liu buforget was a teenager, he divined about the future of Jiyang city in the mountains. According to the divinatory symbols, after several decades, there were great difficulties in the city, and there were no more than chickens and dogs. Even in the Wei Dynasty, it was the same. As the imperial power was gradually exhausted, he still wanted to see it again. The Taoist yun ji, who happened to see it, smashed the tortoise shell with one hand and rebuked him: "the law of heaven is changeable. Can you see the nature?"
It's not over.
Later, a lot of things happened. He also knew that the world was changeable, and human power was too small compared with the way of heaven. Liu buforget has not divined for many years, but since seeing Heyan this time, knowing that Jiyang city is afraid of war and that the uto people are not good at it, he can't stay out of it, so he makes another secret divination.
The divinatory symbols have never seen the cause and process, only the outcome. He still remembers the results of divination many years ago, but after decades, the images of divination were totally different.
In the picture, however, there is still no life in this picture. The shadow is golden, which seems to have boundless merits and virtues. It is as anxious as the sky. It is like two bright golden lights that illuminate the dead and heavy divinatory symbols.
A dead end, because this pair of fuzzy shadow, became "unknown".
He didn't see the end.
