The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 9: Beacon smokes everywhere
In the 7th year of Emperor Yonglongsheng, Emperor Yong rebuked Nanchu for not paying tribute for a long time. The lord of the Nanchu Kingdom saw it, and the lord of Nanchu Long heard about it. He was frightened and inexplicable. When Emperor Yong heard his anger, he vowed to march south, and the three-way army sent together, and then the swordsman came up again.

——”Southern Dynasty Chu History·Jiang Suiyun Biography”
On the second day of October in the 7th year of Da Yonglong and the 11th year of Southern Chu Tongtai, the sergeants were practicing riding and shooting on the military academy in Jiangxia Daying, Nanchu, and there were thunderous sounds from time to time.
“Shoo, shoo, shoo.” Three arrows in a row hit the bullseye, and there was another cheer on the school field. The archer was not tall, wearing silver armor, and the yellow horse sitting down was a thousand-mile pick A steed, a flying horse, and an arrow in the arrow, this kind of archery is indeed worthy of the cheers of the sergeants, not to mention that the knight is the eldest son of the main general they respect and love.
The knight stopped until he shot a bag of arrows. Twenty-four arrows covered the bullseye without leaving a gap. He took off his helmet, revealing a childish face, and wiped his head. He walked to the edge of the school field, jumped off his horse, and whipped his horse for a while before he smiled at the surrounding sergeants: “Okay, it’s more comfortable to shoot a round of arrows. Hasn’t the general been promoted yet? “
Several sergeants laughed and said: “Major General, your archery skills are getting better and better. The general only came back in the early hours of the morning, and may not be promoted today.”
The young man frowned when he heard this, and said: “Recently, there have been frequent movements. I don’t know how the general is going to Jianye this time?”
A sergeant heard the words: “It’s better for the major general to ask Yang Canjun in private. The general refuses to tell you, or Yang Canjun will speak out.”
The boy scolded: “Nonsense, if Yang Junjun is so easy to spread the wind, how could the general trust him like this.”
Another sergeant said suddenly: “By the way, Mr. Wei has just arrived, and now he has gone to see the general.”
The young man frowned, Mr. Wei, why did he come? This person has always been in the Three Treasures Hall. Thinking of this, he didn’t care about the sweat and dust all over his body. He hurriedly confessed to a few sergeants, and then The father’s camp ran away. After a short while, I ran to my father’s camp. The soldiers outside saw him about to call out, but he shook his head to stop him, pulled a person and asked in a low voice: “Does the general and Mr. Wei speak inside?”
The soldier nodded and said: “Yes, it’s been a long time, and so is the general. Why should you be so polite to this person?”
The young man glared at him and said: “What do you know, if this person did not mediate, the general and the old fox would have fallen out. Besides, he was well informed in Dayong. Without his help, I would like to wait until the general The intelligence is here, huh, I’m afraid the Yong army has passed the river, and the intelligence is still in the future.”
The soldier murmured a few words in a low voice. Although this young man is a major general, he has always been with them. That’s why he dared to speak his heart with this young man. He also knew that although this young man blamed himself, he did not have any malice. , I would not say it, so I just complained a few words. After all, in his opinion, Mr. Wei is a person who is guilty of violent morals. Although he is a vulgar person, he looks down on him anyway.
The young man walked around the door for a long time, before seeing his father come out, and finally couldn’t bear it. He moved to the door of the camp and listened carefully. The guards smiled at each other, winked at each other, and couldn’t see. The young man ignored them, but tried his best to catch the faint voice floating in the tent.
Inside the camp tent, the furnishings are very simple. Except for a simple camp bed, a square table and two chairs, it is almost empty. Except for a few volumes of books on the table, this camp tent is similar to ordinary low-level The general’s residence is almost the same.
A man in his early thirties stood in the tent with his hands in his hands, looking at a map hanging on the wall of the camp, his expression was heavy. This man has a heroic appearance and a gentle temperament. He can be regarded as a handsome figure. He is only slightly frosty on the temples, and his expression is full of vicissitudes. If he is not in uniform, it is really hard to believe that he is the number one in the Southern Chu military. one person. The other person looks graceful and handsome. He doesn’t seem to be thirty years old, with a slight sarcasm in his expression. Seeing his demeanor and demeanor, he definitely does not think that he is already thirty-five years old, and the uniformed man is obviously younger than three. Years old, but he looks older than him.
Seeing that the man in uniform was silent, the graceful man sneered and said: “What are you looking at? This time the Yong army will definitely not let go of this opportunity. Apart from your lord, no one in the world knows about this. Secondly, he took the opportunity to make provocations and prepared to go south to herd horses. It has been seven years since the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed. Dayong has digested the territory and manpower of the Northern Han Dynasty. Li Zhi is not young anymore. Doesn’t he want to see the world reunite in his lifetime? By the side, how can you allow others to sleep soundly, even if Nanchu did not violate the slightest fault, Dayong would not give up the intention to go south. Some time ago, the major general came back from the north. It was not very clear that Dayong was even a young county king. Looking forward to fighting in battle, the meaning of the invasion of the south is obvious, don’t you realize it? If you didn’t see that you still had a bit of courage, and dared to attack Jiamengguan with Nanchu monarchs and ministers on your back seven years ago, how could I do my best for you, now Feng The first seat of Wu Tang Yan and the first seat of Yi Huang Tang Ji, and the old fox, Shang Weijun, cooperated very tacitly. Although it was inconvenient to board the court blatantly, the power was gradually pouring into the court. If it were not for Shang Weijun, he would still be wary. With my Chentang opening your eyes for you, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you, a general, to hold your seat.”
The man in uniform sighed: “Brother Wei Hooyi, Can understand in his heart that if you don’t deal with it, I’m afraid I can’t live with those people in the courtroom. A few days ago, they proposed a marriage, but I refused, and then they still He deliberately delayed the payment. If Brother Wei hadn’t helped me, I’m afraid I would not be able to get through this barrier.”
The graceful man sighed after hearing the words, “Actually, this has nothing to do with me. You control more than 70% of the troops in Southern Chu. It is not clear how you are. I just find a step for them. In fact, you are not willing to let the young It’s also right for the general to get married with them. They’re not clear about what they did in Dayong, even I couldn’t see it. They were a mess outside, but internal fighting was a good hand. You said I would help you, but if you didn’t have your support , My Chentang has been suppressed by them a long time ago. After all, the economic power is controlled by them, and we are mutually beneficial. General Lu, if you are willing to rebel and purify the emperor, I will help you.”
The man in uniform smiled bitterly: “Brother Wei, if I continue, I’m afraid I can only send off guests.”
The graceful man laughed and said: “Knowing that you will not agree, if you have Jiang Zhe’s cruel heart, you will not be forced to leave Jianye by Shang Weijun.”
The man in the uniform smiled slightly and said: “Brother Wei seems to have less hatred for his master in recent years. When I mention him, he won’t grit his teeth anymore.”
The graceful man said coldly: “The king of Qing was destroyed and the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed. Although it was the great Yong who had many soldiers, Li Zhi won the hearts of the people, and Li Xian was brave and good at fighting. But if this man is not planning the strategy, how easy it is. Knowing that it is impossible to compete with him, I think there is only one way to avenge him. Didn’t he betray Chu and vote for Yong, so I voted for Nan Chu. He didn’t want to help Li Zhi dominate the world, so I wanted to let Nan Chu rule half of the country, even if I couldn’t. To take his life personally, but also to make him feel uneasy. If not, why should I cooperate with you? Only by your relationship with him, I should be embarrassed with you, but no one in Nanchu can replace you, and I It can only be done.”
The man in uniform didn’t think he was disgusted, he just smiled slightly. The person in front of him is the only one who dared to reuse him. Since he has the same goal, then this person is credible, even if his character is somewhat lacking, for the sake of the overall situation of Nanchu, he Wouldn’t mind it.
The graceful man may have vented for a while, relaxed a lot, and then said: “This time the great Yong sent envoy reprimanded, saying that Nanchu did not pay tribute in three years. I have checked it. It is really nonsense. Fu Yulun also He was really bold. In the 9th year of Tongtai, he was ordered to pay tribute to Yongdu. On the way, he was hijacked by bandits. Those bandits took the tribute, but gave him a fake reply and half of the stolen goods. This person was afraid of adding crimes and actually concealed it. In the next two years, I was even more knowledgeable, colluding with the bandits internally and externally, sharing tributes, and forging the national book. However, the three years of Dayong’s correspondence never mentioned this matter, but this year, the country’s lord was asked to go to Yongdu to apologize. , If there is no conspiracy, I don’t believe it.”
The man in uniform said indifferently: “Fu Yulun has talent but no virtue, is weak and greedy for money, and relies on the power of Shangxiang to do things, but this kind of thing, if no one is instigated, he would not dare to do it. The thief ship, there is no way to turn back, presumably Dayong also worked hard to arrange this bureau, to raise three years, just for today’s Dongchuang incident, inspire the teacher.”
The graceful man sighed and said: “Who said no? It happened that Yulun was under the protection of Shangxiang. Half of the tribute he cut was given to Shangxiang, and 10% was given to Ji’s first seat. Due to Ji’s first seat and Yan’s first seat, how can I know about this now, and I will not be unprepared at all. The woman has missed the country, and the ancients sincerely did not deceive me. For these petty gains, they actually ignored the overall situation. Can being proud can harm Dayong’s interests? Don’t think about it, would Dayong turn a blind eye to this kind of thing? Today I know how stupid it is to be blinded by hatred and desire. If I had this knowledge back then, maybe not Today, it’s hard to join a family, and it’s hard to run for a country. I’m alone and hungry.”
The man in uniform frowned and said, “I went to Jianye to see Shangxiang. The lord has not been in court for a few days. I asked Shangxiang to cut Fu Yulun and apologize to Da Yong, but Shangxiang refused to agree and just demoted him. That’s all for Yulun’s official position. At this time, I still have to protect my shortcomings, alas.
The graceful man looked ridiculed and did not speak. It took a long time to say: “It’s too late to kill or not to kill. This is a rare opportunity. Dayong will not miss it. Shang Xiang has already sent an apology letter, but I don’t think it’s useful. Maybe Dayong is sending troops to Oath now.”
The man in uniform was about to speak, and suddenly there was a noise outside the tent. He frowned and he heard many people rushing in and shouting: “General, General, Jia Mengguan messenger See you.”
The man in uniform sighed when he heard the words, lifted the tent door, and walked out. The soldiers outside all bowed and saluteed: “General!” The man in uniform glanced at his beloved son who was shrunken behind him. , Said coldly: “Lu Yun doesn’t respect the military order, he peeks into the camp privately, and pulls down the five boards.”
The young man was Lu Yun, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, “The subordinates are convicted.” The other soldiers were also chilling and did not dare to intercede for Lu Yun. They were also lax. For the crime, if the general punishes them together, not to mention embarrassing, should others protect the general?
Lu Can ignored them, and greeted Yang Xiu, who had hurried to join the army, and a messenger, who came forward and said, “The subordinates came to report the military situation on the order of General Yu, September 23 , Hanzhong Jiedu made Qin Yong supervise the people to attack Jiameng Pass. Eight hundred li has already been sent to the Ministry of War, but the Ministry of War has not yet responded. General Yu ordered me to come and ask the general.” Lu Can’s expression remained unchanged, but his eyes A flash of sharp light flashed.
At this moment, a scout Pegasus entered the camp and stumbled in front of Lu Can, saying: “General, General Rong has a letter, the forward of Changsun Ji has arrived in Nanyang, and the Xuzhou Army has also gone south, please The general decides early.”
All the generals in the camp have hurried over. When they heard what the scout said, they all stepped forward and said: “The general, the court is still arguing, how to convict and how to negotiate a peace. Now the army of Yong has gone south, general Do you still have to wait for the Lord’s will?”
Lu Can looked around, his eyes that looked tired and vicissitudes of life, seemed to burst out of domineering aura in an instant. The generals and soldiers who came into contact with his eyes could not help but bow and salute, Lu Can said loudly: “Great The heart of Yongtu Jiangnan has been around for a long time. In the twenty-two years since Xiande, Li Zhi robbed Jianye, robbed the first kings and hundreds of officials, seized the gold and silk of his people, blood flowed into rivers, and life was charred. For eleven years, the Yong army has always been watching Jiangnan. It made me the soldiers and civilians in the south of the Yangtze River to sleep peacefully. Today, Lu is determined to fight, and the army is willing to fight to the death with me to protect the people in society!”
When the generals heard it, they all raised their arms and shouted: “Yong people are cruel and hate for ten years, unforgettable forever, I would like to fight with the general!”
Lu Can laughed and said: “In this way, Yang Xiu will give orders to the various armies on my behalf. From this moment on, the military information of various places will be sent to me first, and I will also write a letter to the country’s lord for this general. “After that, Lu Can waved the sleeves of his brocade robe and walked to the army’s big tent. The generals were all beaming with joy and hurriedly followed.
The graceful man walked out of Lu Can’s sleeping tent, showing a cold smile, and said, Lu Can, Lu Can, I don’t know if you are smart or stupid. On weekdays Qian retreats to give way, but he acts arbitrarily in wartime, facing Shang Weijun. Ignored by his random command, it’s just that this war is extraordinary. When the Yong army retreats, I’m afraid that you just want Monk Weijun to live in peace, which is impossible. I just don’t know how long your loyalty can last?
Wait until Lu Yun, who had received a military baton, rushed to the big tent, the military discussion had already begun. He was also Lu Can’s personal soldier and the eldest son of Lu Men’s eldest son. Naturally, he could listen in and quietly slipped to the corner of the big tent. stand up. At this time, joining the army, Yang Xiu was generously remarking: “General, this time the Yong army will attack in three ways. Qin Yong in Hanzhong attacked Jiameng Pass. Qin Yong is a close friend of Emperor Yong. The main character of, once had the salvation service, was calm and steadfast, and was loyal to the Da Yong imperial family. Four years ago, Emperor Yong appointed him as the Hanzhong Jiedu Envoy, and set up a chariot in Nanzheng to regain Jiameng. Pass, attack Xishu, and then descend along the river to take Xiling, Jingmen and other places. However, this road is dangerous and difficult. Even if the Yong army is powerful, it cannot be done overnight. General Yu can definitely hold it. We don’t need to worry about this road. The second road is Changsun Ji. This man is the beloved general of Emperor Yong before he ascended the throne. He was able to conquer and besieged by the Northern Han Dynasty. Long Tingfei was this man. Although Long Tingfei used his body as bait, there will be generations The state army rushed for the vanguard and escaped to life, but the most elite Qinzhou army in the Northern Han Dynasty was mostly destroyed in his hands. Since this person has arrived in Nanyang, he must attack Xiangyang this time, and General Rong will be from the time of Prince De So he guarded Xiangyang, the place was right and the people were all occupied, and he would surely be able to resist Changsun Ji. The third way is Pei Yun, when Da Yong’s power was at its peak, this person had confronted the general in Huainan, if not Xiangyang and Jiangling were in my hands. I am afraid that this person has already had the desire to cross the river. In the five years of Tongtai, after the Yong army won the Zezhou war, they began to counterattack the Northern Han Dynasty. At that time, the Dongchuan of Da Yong was unstable and the northern line was cemented. This person retreated to Huaibei and settled in Xuzhou. For seven years, Dayong was nurturing his energy, but this person spent time in Xuzhou, and Emperor Yong personally named him the Huainan Jiedu. Now Dayong is going south, Pei Yun is very familiar with Huainan. If the generals want to destroy the Yongjun’s southward offensive, the general must quickly defeat the Xuzhou Army and then rush to Xiangyang. When the Yongjun retreats in both directions, the enemy of Hanzhong will retreat without fighting.” After speaking, Yang Xiu and Lu Can exchanged. With a wink, Yang Xiu sat down on the right side of Lu Can, waiting for comments from the generals.
When the generals heard Yang Xiu’s words, they nodded repeatedly. A 50-year-old veteran stood up and said: “The general, Jiangxia Daying and Jiujiang Daying are all under the direct command of the general. General Yu and General Rong also obeyed the command of the general. Undoubtedly ~ IndoMTL.com~ If Pei Yun goes to Huainan, we are not afraid, but what if Pei Yun goes down to Huaidong, Huaidong defender is Shang Xiang’s confidant Luo Lou The true commander has always been incompatible with the general. This person is mediocre and is definitely not Pei Yun’s opponent. If Pei Yun attacked Huaidong, invaded Huaiyang, and then attacked Jianye, he would fear that Nanchu would suffer the humiliation of the past again.”
This veteran was a former general of Lu Can’s father. Lu Can has always respected him. When he got up, he motioned to him to sit down and talk slowly. After listening, he frowned. Other generals were annoyed. Helpless. This Luo Louzhen is a general of Shang Weijun’s close associates. In the past, when the Lu clan controlled the military power, Shang Weijun was uneasy at first. Later, Lu Can took advantage of the instability of Dongchuan in Da Yong and took advantage of Shang Weijun’s obstruction and brazenly seized Jiameng Pass. Although Shang Weijun was also very happy afterwards, but he was even more jealous. After the death of Zhenyuan Gonglu Xin, Shang Weijun wanted to seize the military power of Jiangxia. After failing to succeed, he took advantage of the Yong Army to shrink the line of defense and set up his cronies in Huaidong. Luo Louzhen is one of the generals most trusted by Shang Weijun. Now he is Shang Weijun’s niece, General Zhendong, whose position is the same as that of Xiangyang Rongyuan, and is still above Jiamengguan Yumian. In fact, Luo Louzhen is okay to brag and beat horses. If he talks about marching, he is not as good as an ordinary general in Jiangxia Daying. If Pei Yun attacked Huaidong, it would be really a troublesome thing.
Lu Yun thought for a moment, and said: “Only at this time, the Yong Jun going south is a foregone conclusion. Shang Xiang will not embarrass me at this time in any case. I will write a letter to General Luo and tell him If he can do some things, Huaidong can still be safe. If he doesn’t follow the good words, I have to ask the will to go to Huaidong to take over his military power.”
The generals looked at each other. Although this was the only way to deal with the Xuzhou army’s entry into Huaidong, the opponent’s military power, Shang Weijun, could allow this to happen?
