Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 97 Reconciliation

"Copied the base camp of the Liao Army..." Hearing Master's words, Shen Cha frowned slightly, looked at Master, then at Yan Bo who bowed his head and said nothing, and asked in puzzlement, "What's the problem? ?Isn’t it a very common tactic to attract the attention of the main force in the front and outflank the rear? If conditions and timing permit, we will also use it. If the strategy succeeds, it will deal a heavy blow to the enemy. It will even wipe out their entire army. After this battle, they will not be able to make a comeback for at least three months."

"That's right, let's take a step back. Even if the base camp of the Liao army cannot be copied, as long as the food and grass are burned or some chaos is caused in the army, if the news spreads to the front, the main force surrounded by it will panic and panic. They wanted to return to the defense to support the base camp, but they would not give them this chance at all. Seeing that their hopes were shattered, they would completely lose their combat effectiveness and become slaughtered fish." Jin Jing also added, "Although they did not let the opponent's entire army be wiped out. It’s such a joy to come, but it will also hurt the confidence of the enemy.”

"That's the case." Shen Cha nodded, "The north is different from other places, half of the year it snows, the number of months that can be used for fighting is actually not that many, it's three or five months month. The situation on Liao’s side is more serious than ours. Winter comes earlier and goes later, and they have less time to spend. Therefore, they will use the only time they have The strongest attack power. If the tactics we formulate can prevent them from making a comeback for three months, it is very likely that they will not launch another attack this year. At least there will be no large-scale wars. It's just a small-scale harassment. In this way, everyone can recuperate together, recharge their batteries, and gather enough energy to wait for the next year's battle."

"What Cha'er and the military teacher said is right, it's a good thing, why...is Uncle Yan unhappy?" Shen Haolin rubbed his chin, looked at Qin Zheng, and asked, "Uncle, is there something hidden in this? "

"The secret is..." Qin Zheng sighed heavily, and said with embarrassment, "When we formulated this action plan, we didn't reveal a word to Xiaofeng. From the beginning to the end, he was kept in the dark He only knows that his mission is to lure the enemy deep, and then cooperate with your father..." Qin Zheng looked at Shen Haolin, "To wipe out the main force of the Liao army, he doesn't know anything else. Just like what you heard just now, all Everyone knows, only he doesn’t know anything.”

"My father..." Shen Haolin looked at Xue Ruitian, "You and Uncle Xue also know?"

"Yes." Qin Zheng nodded, "They had a heated discussion at the pre-war meeting, and I didn't participate in it. After they confirmed the action of inviting the king into the urn, I purposely found the old marshal, that is, your grandfather at night. " He looked at Shen Haolin, "Explained my thoughts. Coincidentally, the old marshal coincided with me, and he had the same intention. He said that he was still hesitating who to send to complete this task. Now that I have come from the door, this arduous task falls on my shoulders." Qin Zheng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued, "I agreed, but I also put forward a condition, this action You can tell Brother Shen and Brother Xue about the plan, but you can't reveal a word to Xiaofeng."

"Why?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha asked in unison, "Is it because Uncle Yan has some problems, or does he not want to affect his actions?"

"Yes, yes!" Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing also echoed, "From Yan Bo being so angry, it can be seen that the relationship between the two of you was already very close at that time, right? He should be Uncle Qi, you don't trust him , Originally, you should trust each other and be honest with each other."

"It's still Hou Ye who understands me, that's the way it is!" Yan Bo nodded towards Xue Ruitian and gave him an approving look, "I don't think there are any secrets between two people when they are together, so I really can't Understand why he did it."

"There is one more important point." Hongye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Yan Bo is a very sensitive person who is easy to get into the wrong place. Once he knew the truth of the matter, the deputy commander-in-chief didn't give him a reasonable reason." , an explanation that he can accept, he will feel very seriously hurt, think that the deputy commander-in-chief has betrayed the relationship between the two people, and even think..." Hongye looked at Qin Zheng and said seriously, "I will think that , you look down on him from the bottom of your heart."

"I look down on him?" Qin Zheng shook his head, "No, I never thought about it that way, he will always be the most important person in my heart."

"Master, why did you make such a request?"

"What do you think?" Qin Zhengfan asked, "As the leader of the shadow, as the deputy of the marshal, if you propose to conceal... For example, Xiaotian, if you want to conceal the complete battle plan from him, then what do you use to hide it from him?" What will be the reason to persuade Haolin?"

"If it was me..." Shen Cha looked at Xue Ruitian, stretched out his hand to touch his chin, and said, "If he doesn't have any problems, then there is only one reason, and that is...he has eyes around him, and More than one. Because of the existence of eyes, our deployment may be leaked, which will have a great impact on the outcome of this war, so, for the sake of the overall situation, I will definitely keep it a secret."

"As expected, he is my apprentice, and his thoughts are exactly the same as mine!" Qin Zheng tilted his head and raised his eyebrows at Yan Bo, "That's why I didn't tell you." Qin Zheng looked at the children sitting around him They explained, "When Xiaofeng was young, he was not as calm as he is now. Although he has been in the army for many years, his personality is still the same as when he was in Xijing. He is very detached. He is a person who can do whatever he wants. An unrestrained noble son. He likes to make friends. He knows more than half of the soldiers in the army and gets along very well. As long as everyone is not on duty, he will organize banquets and the like, drinking, chatting, Competitions. His tent will always be the busiest one in the army."

"It sounds quite similar to me. I also like to make friends, and I also like to have banquets." Xue Ruitian came out of the Cloak Mountain again, returned the top cloak to Qin Zheng, and thanked him. "Isn't this very good? Anyway, we have been fighting together for many years, and we have climbed out of the pile of dead people. It is also very good to connect with each other when there is nothing to do."

"That's good, but you don't necessarily know what these people are thinking in their hearts and whether they are with you!" Qin Zheng sneered, "Master Hou is young, because he has experienced a lot, he has seen All kinds of people have fully realized the true meaning of unpredictability. But Xiaofeng has no such experience as Lord Hou, he is the youngest among us, there are some things..." He glanced at Shen Cha , raising eyebrows, "There are some things that I don't want him to know, so he is the one with the least mind among us."

"You can just say that I'm heartless?" Yan Bo rolled his eyes, "Hearing what you said today, there are quite a lot of things that are hidden from me!"

"I understand what Master means." Shen Cha nodded, "Those people who made friends with Yan Bo at that time were arranged by Liao and Jin. Master kept Yan Bo from telling him the action plan, because he didn't want the plan to be leaked. " She looked at Yan Bo and explained, "It doesn't mean Master doesn't trust Yan Bo, but the matter is so important that we have to be cautious. Just in case, we can only wrong Yan Bo."

"Could it be that my mouth is so tireless, so I will definitely say it?"

"This has nothing to do with you. You will definitely not say it, but the guards around you may not be sure. For such a big matter, no matter who slips up, the final responsibility will fall on you. Because Among those people, you are the only one who has access to the core deployment." Shen Cha suddenly remembered some old archives that he had read before, "I remember that there were several leaks at that time, Beijing... to be precise It turned out that the cabinet and the Ministry of War wanted to thoroughly investigate this matter, and sent people from Beijing, but grandpa stopped him, saying that he was in charge of the affairs in the army."

"That's right, the old marshal withstood all the pressure and suppressed those things, or else..." Qin Zheng patted Yan Bo's arm, "No matter what kind of family background you have, no matter how outstanding your military achievements are, you will have already done so." I was taken under escort. Half of the people who ate and drank with you were ulterior motives, and wanted to get some news from you so that they could pass it on to their respective masters. It is precisely because of this that the old marshal agreed to me request. However, I also made a promise that I will make it clear to you after the war is over."

"But Master broke his promise, that's why he caused this huge misunderstanding."

"Yes, I broke my promise." Qin Zheng nodded, "After I seized the base camp of the Liao Army, the remnants of the defeated soldiers fled in all directions. This battle ended with our complete victory. Clean up in the army." He looked at Yan Bo, "You must not have noticed that many people who always play together did not show up on that battlefield. Later, for various reasons, they They've all been transferred away, right?" Seeing Yan Bo's dumb nod, Qin Zheng continued, "Early before the start of that great war, they had already been arrested, locked up in different places, and sent heavy troops to Guard, let them watch their own failure."

"I...I don't know!" Yan Bo looked blank, "I thought they...why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I suggested this." Qin Zheng stretched out his hands and held Yan Bo's shoulders, "I didn't think too much about it at the time, but I just didn't want to make you sad and make you feel that anyone approaching you has a special purpose. I think, if you know this, you won’t be as fond of making friends as before, and I still like to see you having fun with your friends.”

"sorry!"

Uncle Yan, who finally knew the truth back then, regretted it very much. If he hadn't been so self-willed and self-righteous, if he had given Qin Zheng a chance to explain back then, they wouldn't have been separated for so many years.In fact, the one who was really hurt was not him, but Qin Zhengcai.

"Don't tell me you're sorry, I was wrong too, and I want to apologize to you too."

Seeing the two people completely ignoring the existence of them, holding hands and confiding in each other, Shen Cha couldn't help shivering, and quietly rubbed against Shen Haolin.

"It's really meaty!"

"Ok!"
