Chapter 183: Turning the Tide (Part 2)
Xu Feng and Zhang Hen looked at each other, waiting for Zhuge Congrong, the brat who defeated the two of them at the age of ten, the brat who climbed up the dragon and followed the phoenix to recognize the former crown prince of the Wei Kingdom as his adoptive father, the well-deserved leader of the Restoration Alliance, to give them an explanation.
.
Zhuge calmly saw that the left and right forward generals of the guard were full of doubts, so he sighed and explained: "General Zhang, General Xu, the three armies gathered in Yudu and attacked the capital of Song Dynasty. It is true that we have never revealed it to the soldiers in the army.
The real plan. But the best time for us to encircle Yudu, and the only time, must be when all the armies of the Song Dynasty have been transferred away from the mountains and transferred to other places, and there is no time to rescue Yudu. Therefore, we defend Yudu.
The army had to wait until the misfortune and cold ponds froze, then cross the Xiling Mountains and march alone, pretending to march directly to Dongyang. However, at the beginning, the troops of Chen and Shu, who were marching slowly with great fanfare and circling in Chen State, were not defeated.
The Chen and Shu armies, which the allied forces believed and were not in the eyes of the Song Dynasty, were the real main force in the attack when they captured the Jade Capital. So I had already sent a message to the Chen and Shu allied forces, asking them to return to Shu and leave us.
It was only through the cold lakes and ancient ice cliffs that they could reach the Jade City at lightning speed. When they began to attack the Jade City, our guards just happened to lead the Song Dynasty's most ferocious Northwest Teng Yong Army to the north.
Jingan County, leaving them no time to rush to Yudu."
Zhang Hen asked: "What about the Qi army? Why shouldn't the Qi army arrive at Yudu at the same time as the Chen and Shu allies?"
Zhuge said calmly: "For the same reason, the Qi army should divert the Huicheng Army and Yide Army east of Yudu for the Chen-Shu Allied Forces. The only military order the Qi Army received from beginning to end should be 'take Dongyang directly'
.So after they entered the Song Dynasty from the Chu State, they should have taken the land route, going from the east to the northwest to reach Dongyang directly. But now they took the Yuhe waterway, only going west and not to the north. This was a direct route to Yudu.
The path is basically to lead the Huicheng Army and the Yide Army of the Song Dynasty to Yudu."
Zhang Hen continued to ask: "Then the Qi army should have diverted the armies of Huicheng and Yide on their way to Dongyang before they received new orders and diverted their attack to Yudu?"
Zhuge nodded calmly and said: "That's right. There are many Song spies placed in the Qi army, more than our three armies of Chen Shu and Wei. There are two reasons. First, the Qi army wants to restore the Qi State, and the capital of the Qi State is here.
Today's capital of the Song Dynasty is the lifeline of the Song Dynasty's power. What the Song Dynasty is most worried about must be the power of the Qi army. Secondly, the Chen and Shu armies are all soldiers or rangers from the Chen and Shu countries who know each other.
, it is not easy to sneak into the Song people suddenly. Among our guards, the brothers in Xiling have checked the ancestral origins and strong Wei accent of the recruits one by one. It is not easy to sneak into the Song people. Even if
After sneaking in, they should have been kicked down by the brothers from Xiling on the ancient ice cliff. And among the Qi army, there was a mixture of fish and dragons. When the Song Dynasty destroyed Qi, it was not as cruel as when it destroyed the Wei Kingdom. They did not bloodbath the important city.
There was no massacre of Qi people. Many of the young people in the Song Dynasty had Qi blood but no Qi accent. It was actually difficult for the recruits recruited by the Qi army to distinguish between friends and foes. But this loophole can also be used by us.
.”
Xu Feng suddenly realized: "So, the Qi army will not know our real plan to encircle Yudu until the very end? In order to prevent Song State spies from informing Yudu in advance?"
Zhuge said calmly: "Yes."
Zhang Hen was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly: "But...but Qi Jun...why did Qi Jun go to Yudu in advance? They..."
Zhuge Calm sighed again and said helplessly: "Not only did they go ahead of schedule, but their 40,000-strong army marched along the Yuhe River in a majestic way. The Song army actually didn't try to intercept it, and only sent a few small boats to shoot a few painlessly.
A broken arrow. By acting like this, the Song Dynasty must not be afraid of the Qi army going to Yudu, let alone the Qi army and the Chen Shu allied forces in Yudu."
Xu Feng's eyes were dumbfounded, as if he had some realization, and he said: "Song is not afraid of Chen Shuqi's 80,000-strong army joining forces in Jade City..."
Zhuge looked at Xu Feng calmly and said: "The Song Dynasty has nothing to fear, it must have been prepared for it!"
At this time, the leader of the Wei Kingdom who had been silent suddenly spoke, but his voice was unexpectedly low and calm: "The Song Kingdom knew our plan to encircle Yudu in advance. The 50,000 Teng Yong troops who suddenly went south were not directed at
Those who came from Xiaocheng were not coming for our guards. They had been quietly setting up ambush in Jing'an County, waiting for our guards to take Dongyang. Now they suddenly surfaced and headed south in large numbers. They must be going there.
Yudu encircled and suppressed the three allied forces of Qi, Chen and Shu."
Zhuge looked at his adoptive father calmly and said: "The Song Kingdom knew in advance our plan that has been hidden until now."
Zhuge Dunji said: "It is because of what we have learned in the past few days, and the news is reliable and reliable, that the Song Dynasty dared to abandon Dongyang and go to Yudu. Only then did the Song Dynasty dare to leave the leader of the Allied Forces of the Restoration Army alone and move the army to Yudu."
The three armies of Qi, Chen and Shu are in danger. But where did the Qi army hear about our plan to hide without informing them until now? Why did they go directly from Chu to Yudu?"
Zhuge Congrong couldn't help but look to the south with worry. Shu'er, who revealed to you our plan to "take Dongyang under false pretenses and actually plan for the Jade City"? And who told the Song Dynasty our plan in advance? Could it be...
The one who deliberately asked you to defeat the Ning Army in the Chu Kingdom... King Sheng? He was the number one counselor in the Chu Kingdom under his command... Dongfang Yu?
Xu Feng guessed: "Could it be that... when the Qi army passed by Shengwang County in Chu... I heard that General Yan has some connection with Prince Sheng's Mansion, so according to my guess, the Jingning army from Shengwang County deliberately attacked Linjiang City.
Only by defeating the enemy can the Qi army enter the Song Dynasty smoothly without damaging their harmony with the neighboring powerful country of the Song Dynasty."
Zhuge Dunji clenched the sword in his hand and said displeasedly: "It must be the fault of that stupid fox from Dongfang Yu! The Qi army passed by Shengwang County, that kid Shu'er must have seen people from Prince Sheng's Mansion!"
Zhuge calmly said in confusion: "But my foster father has been friends with Master Dongfang for many years. Even if he guessed our plan, he should keep silent, let alone go against us."
Zhuge Dunji said: "If our plan can be guessed by him, it can also be guessed by the military advisors and counselors of the Song Dynasty! He is busy helping King Sheng to unify Chu and reopen Zhaohuang. There is no way he has time to guess.
The plan of our Allied Restoration Army. That bastard of his must have used the detailed operations they had deployed in the Song Dynasty for more than 20 years to know in advance Teng Yong’s army’s plan to set up an ambush to encircle and suppress the Guards in Jing’an County, so he told the Qi army
. He wanted to help us, but he was a huge disservice! Unfortunately, the Qi army thought we were going straight to Dongyang, so in order to divert Teng Yong’s army away for us, they changed their route to Yudu!"
Zhang Hen said: "If the Qi army just wanted to distract Teng Yong's army for us, they did it."
Zhuge calmly frowned, unable to hide his worry: "But when they arrived at Yudu, Chen Shu's army had already begun to attack the city! They just took a detour to Yudu to help us divert Teng Yong's army, but they didn't know that Chen Shu
The order the army received from us is to attack Yudu! When they see Chen Shu reinforcements, they will learn about our plan to encircle Yudu, so... they will not come to Dongyang again, but will fall into Tengyong's army and Huicheng
The army should be surrounded by layers of German troops!"
Zhuge Dunji resolutely said: "In this case, if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful. We will not go to Yudu, but first capture Dongyang!"
Zhuge Calmly said in surprise: "But foster father... Qi, Chen, and Shu allied forces, 80,000 soldiers, don't we go to Yudu to rescue them?"
