Chapter 640: Shuo Blows the Horn and Wants to Fight
Gao Yuan spent three days wandering around the Chen Bin defense zone on the east coast, visiting every fort one by one. These forts of different sizes were built extremely solidly, and the forts about seven or eight meters high were built into a trap with countless traps. The Death Scythe is richly stocked with various materials. If the enemy attacks, it will be impossible to defend these strongholds without paying a considerable price.
After three days of inspection, Gao Yuan had a fuller understanding of Chen Bin. This general had shown his ability to attack difficulties on the banks of the Liao River, and this time, Gao Yuan saw his defensive skills. Many of them An original defensive method that even Gao Yuan had never heard of. It is difficult for such a talented general to get ahead in the standing army of Yan State. There is indeed a big problem with the Yan Army's selection system.
Now that Tan Feng and Zhou Yu are reforming, they don't know if they can change these inherent problems. But when Gao Yuan thinks about it, there are many difficulties here. Reform has always been to touch the interests of a group of people to ensure the profits of the new generation, and It would be weird if those whose interests were touched did not fight back. Even if Zhou Yutan is now in power, he may not be able to resist the pervasive penetration of all aspects.
Killing Ning Zecheng and chasing Zhou Yuan, Tan Feng and Zhou Yu have already given two strong doses of medicine. They cannot be so drastic next. They need to use gentle policies to win over another group of people, otherwise Dayan will really want to Yes, but since they want to be gentle, it is impossible to refuse certain unreasonable requests. This is the outcome they cannot change.
Comparatively speaking, I have taken advantage of it. With a meager fortune, I have no scruples or involvement in doing things. All kinds of new systems are launched smoothly. It is precisely because of this that the current Zhengdong Mansion exists.
Three days later, Gao Yuan still had more to say. But he had to return to Pioneer City because Ning Xin from Jishi City had already arrived in Pioneer City. Along with Ning Xin, there were thousands of men. These people were the new batch of prisoners of war.
"Live!" Before leaving, Gao Yuan called Chen Bin aside and patted his shoulder hard, "Zhengdong Mansion will still need you in the future, and I need you too. When things cannot be done, retreating is not just a matter of time. This is a sign of weakness. In this battle, our strategy on the east coast is not to defend territory, but to cause effective damage."
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, Chen Bin will do his best." Chen Bin nodded vigorously. He had actually known the fate of the three thousand soldiers on the east bank for a long time, and he came with the intention of death and worked hard to build the fortress. The purpose of setting up traps is to kill enough Donghu people without replacing enough, Gao Yuan said. His nose couldn't help but feel sour. Although Gao Yuan said that he did not aim to defend the territory, at this time, Chen Bin secretly made up his mind to stay firmly entrenched in Dubo until the Donghu people were repelled.
In the Liaohe River, Gao Yuan stood by the river, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to pull off a piece of ice. Holding it in hand, I measured the thickness of the ice. In just three days, the Liao River was still flowing except in the center. Near the shore, there is already ice, which is one or two centimeters thick. Every day from now on, the ice will spread towards the center of the river until it is completely frozen.
I'm afraid it won't take more than ten days and a half. If the temperature drops a little or there is another snowfall, maybe overnight, the waves of the Liao River will no longer be seen rushing forward.
The rumble of horse hooves came from behind, and the banner of the Eastern Expeditionary Army rustled in the wind. The leading group of men and horses, wearing black clothes, black armor, and black cloaks, looked like a black cloud in this white world. Rolling in from a distance, despite such a rapid march, the queue was still as neat as if measured with a ruler. A smile appeared on Gao Yuan's face. He Lanyan finally came back. Since that night, He Lanyan ran away without a trace. Without a trace, they led the cavalry division of the First Army to the east coast for patrol and training. It seemed that they had gained quite a lot from their efforts in the past few days, because behind them, they could see Gongsun Yi and his cavalry, carrying There were many cattle, sheep and horses, and each person's horse also carried some furs and other items.
Gao Yuan walked onto the river embankment and watched with a smile as He Lanyan flew up to her on horseback.
"Swallow!" He stretched out his hand to help He Lanyan dismount. He Lanyan blushed slightly, hesitated, and stretched out his hand. Even though he was wearing cashmere gloves, Gao Yuan could still feel the coldness of his opponent's little hand.
"Are you freezing?" Gao Yuan asked with concern after helping He Lanyan dismount.
He Lanyan rolled her eyes at him, "How can you be so arrogant? I grew up in a bitter cold place." She raised her hand, "These cashmere gloves are pretty good. With them, my hands can stay warm, and the hand holding the knife can be kept warm." It is more stable, and the bow and arrow are much more stable. This thing is simple to make, but no one thought before, how could you come up with this thing? It doesn't cost much for the soldiers to have one pair, and the combat effectiveness has been improved a lot. ”
Gao Yuan smiled proudly. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Ever since he was preparing to develop the Hetao, Gao Yuan had been psychologically prepared for the severe cold in winter here, and the corresponding preparations had already begun. The logistics department also has countless cashmere gloves to keep soldiers' hands warm, cashmere vests that fit close to their bodies, etc., which are enough for the soldiers' consumption. These things don't cost much for the current Zhengdong Mansion. But on the basis of improving the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, it can also make the soldiers feel that Zhengdong Mansion, or that he, the governor, loves his soldiers as his son, can be said to be a huge benefit.
Zhengdong Mansion now has enough livestock under his command to provide down and leather, combined with the superb textile technology of the Central Plains people. As long as he gives them a reminder and a suggestion, the real thing will soon appear in front of him. In fact, this thing is not It's not new. Many wealthy people have it in their homes, but they just didn't think of preparing an army on a large scale.
"I thought you were hiding from me?" Seeing He Lanyan's cheeks turned red from the cold, Gao Yuan couldn't help feeling a little distressed, "Don't everyone have a hood? Why don't they wear it?"
He Lanyan turned around and glanced at the cavalry behind him. The hood was also made of cashmere and covered the entire head, with only two eyes exposed. The helmet was worn on the outside of the hood. It was indeed very warm.
"Hold your breath!" He Lanyan shook her head and said: "It's not comfortable to wear. I prefer the feeling of the wind blowing on my face when I am galloping. Gao Yuan, are you prepared to focus on defense in this battle? I have four thousand people here. There are many cavalrymen, so they can’t hide in the city with you. How useful can the cavalry be in the city?”
Gao Yuan pondered for a moment, "You want to go out to fight? I'm not too worried about that. This time Yan Qi has brought fifty thousand cavalry, which is far beyond what your four thousand cavalry can shake. You better stay in the city, stay with me It's better to be by my side. You also know that Jing'er asked you to come here just to let you protect my safety. When the time comes, I might have to go to the city to fight. With you by my side, I will be much safer, right? "
He Lanyan raised her head and stared at Gao Yuan for a long time, then suddenly pulled him aside, away from the surrounding soldiers, and lowered her voice: "Gao Yuan, stop talking nonsense to me. In your plan, the cavalry was originally meant to be left wandering outside. Ge, you have already planned to contain the enemy's strength. Xu Yuan and the others all know it, but they just hid it from me. It's a pity that you calculated everything, but you didn't realize that Gongsun Yi is a weakling. I can whip my horse in one fell swoop. , he told the truth. I can tell you, don’t even think about trapping me in the city. I will lead the cavalry to fight outside the city. The red guards around you are all like wolves and tigers. I have a lot. If you don’t agree, unless you stare at me every day, I will always find a way to slip away. Then go ahead and cry!”
Seeing He Lanyan acting coquettishly, Gao Yuan couldn't help but rub his head in pain. He looked up and saw Gongsun Yizheng in the distance looking at this side with a guilty conscience. He couldn't help but glared at her. Gongchi Yi immediately lowered his head, and the horse on his crotch also responded. He shrank back and hid behind Guo Laowen. He didn't dare to look at Gao Yuan again, but he just felt miserable in his heart. This was because he was hated by the governor. But He Lanyan is the future mistress. How can I deal with her with such a fierce temper?
Guo Laoyan turned around, glanced at Gongsun Yi with a half-smile, calmly moved his horse aside, and exposed him to the broad daylight.
"Okay, this matter is settled. Don't glare at Gongsun Yi. How can that kid be my opponent? Besides, am I not as good as Gongsun Yi when I lead troops in war? I am always better than him. Just a little!" He Lanyan grabbed Gao Yuan's sleeve and shook it.
Gao Yuan nodded with a wry smile, "Well, I can't defeat you anyway, but you really have to be careful. Yan Qi is a powerful person. You have to take good care of yourself and don't get hurt. I don't want He Lanxiong to mention him after I go back. Come to me with a whip and ask for an explanation."
He Lanyan burst into laughter. This smile was really charming. Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the madness that night. His eyes suddenly became confused. When he saw Gao Yuan's eyes suddenly It became hot, and He Lanyan seemed to understand something all of a sudden. She felt dizzy, stood up on tiptoes and leaned close to Gao Yuan's ear, and whispered: "As a reward, I will go find you tonight."
After saying this, He Lanyan turned around and ran away. She jumped back on her horse with a giggle, put her thumb and index finger in her mouth, and blew a whistle hard. All the cavalrymen in the cavalry division immediately reined in their horses and followed He Lanyan along the route. River embankment, then ran towards the first bridge.
"This damn girl!" Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head, "She has learned how to catch people."
In Pioneer City, Xu Yuan was busy on his feet. Ning Xin came this time, accompanied by 2,000 prisoners of war and 1,000 reserve soldiers responsible for escorting them. These people will stay in Hetao to participate in this battle. Yan Peng got the news, After Luo Weiran was sent over, he would naturally not let go of the three thousand people. He had to get a piece of the pie. The ensuing battle would be protracted. With more strength in hand, there would naturally be more victory, but people would win first. When they arrived at Xu Yuan's place, it was naturally up to Xu Yuan to make the decision. There was nothing he could do about the one thousand reserve soldiers. Each of them had to share half of the profit. Because they were organized, they could not be disrupted. But these prisoners of war, Xu Yuan was the master of Jinshui Tower. If you get the moon, you will pick one first and give the rest to Yan Peng. Luo Weiran is not of a high level, so he can only stare and have no choice but to do anything.
Xu Yuan was in high spirits, while Ning Xin, accompanied by bulls and bulls, stood on the tower of Pioneer City and inspected the newly built new city. (To be continued)r655
