Twenty-seven: Soldiers are divided into three roads
Preparations for the war were imminent, and everyone was anxious, and the staff officer's illness worsened at a critical time. He wrote down three plans for the deployment of the war in advance and handed them to Crown Prince Hu Jun. And talk to the teacher alone, they are now a pair of yearless sentences to the heart, quietly told the teacher, Guanmeng is his second son, but the heart is not right, can not be reused, if there are two hearts to the last resort can be killed, for the sake of the overall situation can not be merciful. And told the teacher must follow the deputy general Kai, his ear roots are relatively soft, the book is more angry, competitive, easy to trust others, to the key time afraid of swaying left and right.
He also called Hu Jun, Kai, Teacher, and Lei Meng together and told them again and again, that the soldiers must be divided into three roads, one way Hu Jun and Guanmeng, one way teacher and Kai, and all the way Sha Chengbao and Lei Meng, so that they will be involved with each other, learn from each other's strong points and complement each other's weaknesses, and the war will certainly succeed.
After that, he called Guanmeng and Leimeng together, tightly held the hands of the two sons, and said something to them for the last time, but his eyes were fixed on The Thousand Dings of Guanmeng told them that they must be loyal to the country, they must take the right path, guangzong yaozu, and the brothers work together, and they must not have two hearts. The staff officer was panting, his face was heavy, he said a word for a while, he said very sincerely, he was about to use a pleading tone from the heart, and he regretted that he had doted on Montague, and had been resigned to it, and he was about to leave before he was well educated, and he was not at ease! After saying that, he left two lines of tears and closed his eyes and died. Because he had foreseen that the son of The Completed Meng had wolf ambitions and split the territory, sooner or later he would obstinately go his own way, bringing disaster to the family, and the descendants would not be at peace and embark on a road of no return, but there was no way, and he hoped that he could control and seize the opportunity not to let such a thing happen.
What happened as a result was really unpredictable, unavoidable, and unconsciously moving into an uncontrollable situation, often saying that he did not listen to the old man's words, suffered losses in front of his eyes, but did not act in accordance with the guidelines formulated by the staff officers at all.
Because the old father had just died, the grief was not only to ask to stay and keep filial piety, But also lost the ability to think, and the people who did not have the protection were also sad, repeatedly asked for more time, and then pulled out, this time is out of nature, if there is a person who can calm down will not go astray. Seeing them crying and pleading, Hu Jun and the teacher could not help but cry like rain, remembering the good and hard work of the staff officers, and could not end up without sending a good and really filial piety, Yu Xin could not bear to agree, but repeatedly told not to miss things.
Sha Chengbao and Kai asked to take the lead all the way with each other, this is Sha Chengbao's idea, he first found Kai, praised Kai for his ability and ability, wen and wu shuangquan, is a big husband who wants to be a great husband, but must take out the results to show it, let everyone look at him with admiration, don't always hide behind the prince so that others can't see his light, a few words are laid out in place, Kai's brain is hot, he thinks he should let go of the big show once, so please go. Hu Jun has no way to disagree, first, he really needs people, and second, he loves Wu Jiwu, because he is Yang Zi's third brother, the opportunity must still be given, so that he has made the mistake that should not be made, that is, he will not use people, will not match resources, and does not listen to the life-saving last words of experienced people. If the second team does it correctly, only one team of people and horses is not in place and cannot finally reach an irreparable situation, it is really too late to make up for it.
It was finally agreed that Sha Chengbao and Kai would walk to the left and recover the three lost castles and turn back to the northwest steppe closer.
Lei Meng and Guan Meng waited for several days to complete the staff affairs, straight through the desert land in the northwest grassland three armies converged.
Hu Junhe and his teacher marched in the direction of the right, recovered the land and then marched towards the northwest grassland, preparing for the convergence of the three armies in a few months, sweeping through the northwest to recover the land, and returning triumphantly. Everything was arranged, and everyone was ready to go.
Crown Prince Hu Jun pulled out first, and they rushed forward according to the goal and plan. Yang Zi, Lin Er, and others followed Hu Jun, and there was also a care along the way.
But everything was misplaced.
Sha Chengbao commanded Kai, and Kai's power to speak was emptied. Many important battles, Sha Chengbao and his men decided on their own, and joined hands with others did not know what kind of calculations they had in mind, Kai asked them several times, ignored them, Kai was angry and did not want to take care of more, and the route was completely misplaced with the agreement.
Before leaving, Sha Chengbao, on the pretext of paying homage to the staff officers, appeased Meng Mo and was no longer sad, and when he saw that everyone else had gone out, he whispered to Guan Meng's ear: Let yourself support the military power, make your own decisions, and make your own ideas, instead of always daring to act without permission under the glory of his brother. Seeing that After Mengmeng's momentum was completely listened to, Sha Chengbao's face was full of flesh, and he smiled darkly and said a few words of relief.
In the end, Meng Gang was self-conscious, thinking that he had a good command, and did not move forward, but went south, that is, he retreated 50 kilometers to camp and wait, which was really the opposite. Lei Meng was half dead, many times the persuasion was ineffective, regretted that he did not listen to the father's last words, had no choice, and took his own people and horses to rush forward alone, but in the end the time could not catch up, and missed a big thing.
Only Hu Jun and the teacher led the division brothers to go deep into the enemy's den, fighting while defending and pacifying, if they acted according to the staff plan, they would definitely fight a very beautiful war, recover the national territory, stabilize the frontier, and stabilize the people's hearts. In the final analysis, everything in the future was man-made, and all of them were people's hearts were uneven, and Sha Chengbao, a black sheep, did not obey the command and acted arbitrarily, killing loyal people.
Twenty-eight: Fighting alone
Hu Jun they camped in the castle, where life is more bitter, life is more difficult, most of them are nomadic, their lives are moving back and forth, where the grassland is good, there are also a small number of crop farmers, but because of the lack of water, rely on the sky to eat, the crops planted are half dead. But the people here are relatively simple, and they have always lived honestly and responsibly, these lands have been infringed upon, occupied, and later recovered, and the local officials have also appeased and formulated relaxed policies, but in the end they have served a small number of people, and there are still corrupt officials. In short, most of the people are still living a good life, many of the materials allocated by the imperial court have been peeled layer by layer along the way, and there are very few in the hands of the common people, and even if they can't reach their hands, they don't have any, Hu Jun and the teacher settled down, rode horses around, made a lot of suggestions for the construction and development of the frontier, and prepared to submit it this time to lay the foundation for future development.
After more than a year of experience, Hu Jun has the chunchun teachings and guidance of the old staff officers, and now there are teachers to discuss, and the handling of problems has become much more sophisticated. He knew that if the frontier was stable, the interior would be stable, and if there was a war, the loss would outweigh the losses. He negotiated with minorities from various tribes, and the preferential policies were unanimously praised. One spring, the military camp reclaimed a lot of fields, brought water from the upstream, coupled with the beauty of god, this year's rain is sufficient, by the beginning of summer, the whole field is lush, the grassland is full of life, the nomads have moved relatively little this year, and the discipline of their military camp is strict, the management is relatively strict, and they do not disturb the people and help to work, which has won the hearts of the people.
After the stabilization of the place, they advanced more than a hundred kilometers, and for nearly four months, Kai's troops had not yet converged, and there was no news. Lei Meng sent a letter to them, and also wanted to speed up the meeting with them, but Guan Meng did not move. At this moment, suddenly war broke out, and several tribesmen turned against each other and united with the Gentile invaders without knowing what was going on, and suddenly surrounded the camp where they were stationed. Because their scattered troops were not many, they struggled to meet the battle for three days and three nights, and the people who sent out to deliver the letters were now missing. Because of the superiority of the terrain, they could still hold on and wait for the inside and outside to merge, but the lack of food could not be held for too long.
Fortunately, these division brothers were highly skilled in martial arts, and the two armies were deadlocked, depending on who had patience, but they had no bottom in their hearts. The people who sent messengers from the military camp surrounding them demanded negotiations, and they were also afraid that Hu Jun's men and horses would besiege them and prepare for a quick decision, but Hu Jun had to personally negotiate and ensure his safety and the personal safety of the whole city. A severe test is at hand, if there is a negotiation, they will keep everyone around them, if there is no negotiation, the outside team will not be able to converge at once, then they may be completely annihilated. Hu Jun consulted with the teacher, and finally he decided to negotiate the next day. Throughout the day, everyone was in a state of anxiety and anxiety, Hu Jun and the teacher also speculated that there might be irresistible problems outside, Kai may have been controlled, and Guanmeng may not have selfish intentions to send troops, at this time, remembering what the staff officer said, they were really very remorseful, and did not listen to the arrangement and caused a catastrophe.
Because going out to negotiate with their tribe is very bad in its current form, but it can save the whole city, as long as they withdraw their troops, they have the opportunity to fight back, if they do not withdraw their troops, they are only afraid of a dead end, and more innocent people are killed and injured. After much deliberation, Crown Prince Hu Jun decided that the teacher would leave behind the people who would continue to guard the whole city, and he would take more than a dozen people to the enemy camp to negotiate. The teacher did not agree, the brothers did not agree, they were willing to go to complete this task, but Hu Jun did not agree to not let them get involved in the risk, and they specified that Hu Jun would go, he decided to take this responsibility, this trip is like a kite breaking the line, the geese are lost, and the return will be far away. But with hope, we can stall for time and wait for the three armies to converge and victory is just around the corner. (To be continued)
