Invincible son

Chapter 1251 1252 [Crouching dragon and leaping horse end loess]

"Pei Yue's letter was sent at the same time as the latest battle report. Do you know what he said in the letter?"

Gu Liang turned around and sat down, and put the two letters on the small table next to him.

The two shook their heads at the same time.

Gu Liang said leisurely: "He said in the letter that the most important result of the Battle of Jiangyin was the more than 1 prisoners, including the two brothers Fang Yuntian and Fang Yunji. For Fang Xiexiao, who has lost two sons, his determination to resist There will inevitably be wavering. Therefore, Pei Yue plans to pretend to attack the western front, and secretly mobilize elites to go south by boat to attack Pingjiang. Launch a coup in Jian'an City."

Gu Mang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help saying: "It's a good move to break the foundation!"

Gu Liang smiled, nodded and said: "As a father many years ago, I can see that Brother Yue's way of using soldiers is to learn from the strengths of all families, he is not bound by any rules, and he has the courage to die and live later. Therefore, my father believes that he can plan successfully. Because of this, he persuaded my father not to seek a decisive battle in the wild, but to stick to the strong cities in various places. He can pacify the southern border in only two months at most, and then mobilize the army to rush to the west."

He spoke calmly, but the brothers of the Gu family became more and more puzzled.

Now that the situation is developing in a favorable direction, why did my father insist on a decisive battle with Wu Jun?
Gu Liang glanced at the expressions of the two, and said with a broken smile: "Could it be that in your hearts, being a father is a fool who is greedy for credit?"

The two didn't dare to talk.

Gu Liang didn't take it seriously, and said slowly: "Although Brother Yue is good at military affairs, he somewhat underestimated the difficulty of subduing the hearts of the Southern Dynasty. Even if he achieved victory on the battlefield by directly attacking the Chinese army, it is absolutely impossible to appease the resentment of the Southern Dynasty." It will take at least half a year to achieve success overnight, even if it is only a rough solution to the hidden dangers of military and armed forces in various places. Moreover, if he really achieves the achievement of destroying the country, there will still be many people in the imperial court who will have trouble with him. There are many places."

These words are penetrating, even Gu Fan, who is not familiar with officialdom, has to admit that his father's analysis is directly aimed at people's hearts.

Gu Liang continued: "But the western border can't be dragged on... The emperor of Western Wu gambled on the national destiny this time, and he will never give up until he achieves his goal. After our army lost the containment of the outer military strongholds, it was difficult for Jinshui Daying and Guping Army Town to defend Taiping Soon, once the door is opened, the entire Lingzhou will be ravaged by the Western Wu cavalry, which is why this battle must be fought."

He shifted his gaze to another letter and said with a chuckle: "This letter is apparently written by His Majesty the Emperor, but it was actually written by Empress Dowager Wu."

"Empress Wu?" Gu Mang frowned slightly, then said angrily, "Does she dare to falsely pass on the king's will?"

Gu Liang said indifferently: "Why not? With His Majesty's pure filial piety, if you take this letter to the court for questioning, will he admit that it is the order of Empress Dowager Wu?"

Gu Fanhan said in a low voice, "Father, what did the old woman say?"

Gu Liang raised his hand and nodded at him, then shook his head and said: "It's fine to say that in front of my father, don't be reckless on weekdays, and cause trouble for the Gu family and Weiguo Mansion for nothing."

Gu Fan wanted to argue a few words, but seeing the tired look in Gu Liang's eyes, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, father."

Although today's battle was just a trial, Gu Liang could not relax from the beginning to the end. After all, this battle was related to the safety of the entire western region. He had to have a clear judgment on the strength of each soldier in the Wu army.

Gu Liang raised his hand and rubbed his brows, and said calmly: "It is nothing more than the Empress Dowager Wu questioning my father in the name of the emperor why he has been unwilling to defeat the Wu army for so long, and urging me to fight the Wu army as soon as possible to relieve the crisis facing Lingzhou. Between words, It seems that I have the heart of disobedience to deliberately support the army, and remind me implicitly that your mother is extremely worried in the capital, and it is difficult to sleep at night. Of course, the palace tells me not to worry, as long as I care about state affairs. .”

"boom!"

Gu Fan's face was livid, he slapped the table with his palm, gritted his teeth and said, "Old godmother!"

They are all very transparent people, how can they not hear the suspicion and threats in these words?
Gu Mang was calmer, but at the moment his face was also full of anger.

Gu Liang smiled, waved his hands and said: "Don't be angry, do you care about her threats as a father? Although the queen mother is honorable, your father is the leader of Daliang's army, and the Gu family has paid for Daliang with the support of hundreds of loyal and brave men." Life is the only way to get the honor of this first-class marquis. My father once told Brother Yue that the Empress Dowager has little wisdom but no great wisdom, and these methods are nothing but laughable."

Having said that, his expression gradually became serious: "This decisive battle has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager Wu, but as my father said before, if it continues to drag on, it will only cause countless people in Lingzhou to suffer. The man survived, It’s all about doing something.”

The brothers of the Gu family said solemnly: "I would like to follow my father's instruction."

Gu Liang nodded and said: "I tell you these things today, I want you to remember one thing, no matter what happens in the final battle tomorrow, you must obey the military orders and do not disobey them in any way."

Gu Mang and Gu Fan looked at each other, vaguely aware of something wrong, but under Gu Liang's solemn eyes, they could only stand up and respond.

The next day, the Liang and Wu armies faced each other again.

After yesterday's probing, today the two sides obviously have no intention of holding back, and the battle has been extremely fierce from the very beginning.

Gu Mang personally led [-] elite infantry to protect the central army, while the Guping army and the three guards of Lingzhou lined up one by one, and the left and right wings followed Gu Liang's order to press forward steadily.

Compared with the 1 elite cavalry that Wu Jun arranged on the flanks, Liang Jun's side looked much shabby. Even counting the more than [-] longbow cavalry brought by Gu Mang, the total number of cavalry was less than [-].

On such a grand battlefield, it is impossible for Gu Liang to command every detail. Even if he has this ability, the transmission of military orders is not so fast and convenient.Therefore, in the pre-war military meeting, he decided on the strategy of the left and right wings attacking forward in a pincer shape, and the overall formation was in a compact half-moon shape, so as to offset the pressure brought by the Western Wu iron cavalry, especially the Anyang dragon cavalry, to the greatest extent.

The war broke out from the early morning until the sun was high, and the two sides were still fighting.

Until Western Wu finally mobilized nearly [-] cavalry to enter obliquely from the right wing of the battlefield, and went straight to the west camp of the Beijing Army led by Anhou Suwu.

At the same time, the main offensive of the Western Wu Left Army suddenly intensified, and a team of [-] troops violently attacked the Beijing Army's West Camp on a front stretching for more than ten miles.

Gu Liang listened to the constant news from the commander with a calm expression, and boarded the lookout car to observe the changes on the battlefield.

Compared with the situation faced by the left-wing and central troops, the situation in the West Camp of the right-wing Beijing Army is deteriorating.

On the vast plain, cheers suddenly erupted somewhere in the sky.

It was as if a taut string suddenly snapped.

"Father! The formation of the west camp is in disarray! Su Wu's death is not a pity!" Gu Mang roared with red eyes.

"I know, don't panic."

When the north wind blows, Guliang is still silent.

Gu Mang looked at him in disbelief.

With the collapse of the formation of the Western Camp of the Beijing Army, more than ten thousand iron cavalry in the Western Wu Dynasty finally seized a gap, broke in from the northeast, and rushed straight to the formation of the Chinese Army!

Gu Mang said sharply, "Father!"

Gu Liang raised his hand, and the soldiers immediately handed over their spears.

He glanced at the Western Wu cavalry rushing forward from a distance, and said word by word: "The order is that the Guping army does not need to retreat. The three guards of Lingzhou will enter from the three directions of Li, Kun, and Dui, and the Jinshui cavalry will surround them from the left. Zhao Xian led the main force of Jinshui to attack the West Wu Zhongjun."

"Tell Su Wu again, if the West Camp of the Beijing Army can't deal with the [-]-man team, none of his Su family can survive!"
