Chapter 471 Situation 474

Warmth welled up in Shen Mu's heart, good deeds always make people feel comfortable, and he said with a smile: "This Tuhe method really has its own way, and those who don't know it will definitely understand it, but this method can only be used in special circumstances, and it is necessary to detect the enemy at a fixed point. Necessary, what about random investigations?"

Luo Qifei replied: "There are three main tasks for cruising: one is reconnaissance, including going deep into the enemy's rear and spying on the enemy's situation by various means; A special person collects and analyzes it, and then transfers it to the relevant departments. Mr. Xu has put a lot of effort into this matter, otherwise it will not be as complete as it is today. The third is to capture the prisoners alive, torture them, and find out things that cannot be seen from the surface. Condition."

"Severe torture and interrogation" reminded Shen Mu of the cruel nature of unscrupulous warfare, and reminded him of Yin Zuwen's "seven needles to control the gods". This person.

Shen Mu was concerned about the situation in Luoyang. This city, one of the three largest cities in the world, is like a lonely boat in the raging sea, which will capsize at any time, so he asked about the situation in Hulao.

Luo Qifei said: "Zhu Can just suffered a big defeat from the Tang army, and Wang Shichong's hope of opening the Luoyang South Road was completely shattered; Yique and Yingyang fell one after another, and now only the cities on the East Road, mainly Hulao, are still under his banner. The situation is not optimistic."

Luo Qifei sighed lightly, and continued: "It should be said that it is very critical. Of course, Wang Shichong knew the importance of the Hulao, and sent his prince, Wang Xuanying, to defend the Hulao with heavy troops. Li Shiji is a person who is well versed in the art of war. The devious strategy is to plan the nearby cities first, so as to isolate Hulao, so that Wang Xuanying will retreat without a fight. Li Shiji is now marching towards another big urban management city in the southeast of Hulao."

Shen Mu sighed in his heart who Wang Xuan should be regarded as the oldest, who is Li Shiji's opponent?Asked: "Who is the guardian of the city?"

Luo Qifei said: "Guancheng Guard General Guo Qing was formerly the governor of Xingyang of the Wagang Army. He had a long history with Li Shiji. After the defeat of the Wagang Army, Guo Qing joined Wang Shichong."

Shen Mu changed his face and said: "With Wang Shichong's suspicion, how could he use Guo Qing to deal with his old colleague Li Shiji so badly?"

Luo Qifei said: "Wang Shichong has his own difficulties. First of all, Guo Qing is from Laiyang, and has close ties with the local forces in Xingyang and Guancheng. I hope this relationship will work, I heard Guo's wife is loyal to Wang Shichong."

Shen Mu smiled wryly and said: "Profit is the first word, how much effect can a political transaction-style marriage play? Alas! If Guancheng is finished, it's no wonder that the other guards in Xingyang and Zhengzhou don't surrender! No one is willing to work for Wang Shichong and his son. It is Yang Gongqing who is guarding the tiger prison, so it is a different situation."

Luo Qifei said: "Wei Lu is the defender of Xingyang, and Wang Yaohan and Zhang Cibao are the defenders of Zhengzhou. The subordinates don't know how loyal Wei Lu and Wang Yaohan are to Wang Shichong. Are they willing to do their best for Wang Shichong? To gain Wang Shichong's trust is certainly not someone who surrenders so easily. As for Zhang Cibao who has followed Wang Shichong for many years, there should be no problem with his loyalty."

Shen Mu sighed: "We will know the result soon."

At this time, his subordinates reported that the boats of Gui Xiliang and Xing Rong had arrived at the pier outside Liangdu.

Shen Mu was anxiously waiting, and was overjoyed.

In the study, Shen Mu had a heart-to-heart talk with two old friends, Gui Xiliang and Xing Rong, whom he had known since childhood.

After figuring out the current situation of the two of them, Shen Mu smiled and said: "The Bamboo Flower Gang is now divided into two factions, and the culprit is Shao Lingzhou. As long as you kill his backer Li Zitong and ensure that Shao Lingzhou begs and surrenders to you immediately, it depends on whether you have That guts."

Gui Xiliang sighed: "We knew you had the heart to seize Jiangdu, and we held a meeting and made a decision before coming here. It's not that we don't want to help you, but that under the current situation, you have the ability to reach the heavens and the earth. It is also impossible to do it in a year or so. With Shen Faxing and Du Fuwei's forces much stronger than yours, it is still in vain, and it will also lose troops. Your young commander will not be able to do what they can't. Why don't you put your energy on Peng Liang, I hope to be able to defend until the moment when the Song army marches north."

Shen Mu seemed to be poured cold water on his head, his muscles stiffened, and he frowned and said, "If we attack the city head-on, of course we have no chance. But Yangzhou is our territory, we can subvert Li Zitong from the inside, for example First try to burn his sailors, we can enter the Yangtze River from the sea, we can make a surprise attack with a surprise force, and we should cooperate from the inside and the outside, so that the killer of his mother will be caught off guard, so there must be no chance of success."

Xing Rong smiled bitterly and said: "Brothers, if there is a chance of success, we will never stand still. The problem is that Li Zitong has already surrendered to Li Yuan and became a master with Du Fuwei, while Shen Faxing is hesitating whether to surrender to Tang. Under such circumstances, Li Zitong has no immediate worries, so he can concentrate and deploy his forces in the four cities of Zhongli, Gaoyou, Yanling and Jiangdu, while the navy is scattered in the main rivers near Jiangdu, so that they can coordinate with each other, even if you can attack Jiangdu, let’s not talk about whether you have enough troops for street fighting, as long as the other three cities send troops to help by water, Jiangdu’s crisis will be quickly resolved.”

Shen Mu shook his head and said, "Do you know that Fu Gong Er and Du Fuwei have a problem, and Fu Gong Er has a certain threat to Li Zitong."

Gui Xiliang said: "Du Fuwei and Fu Gong Er are at odds with each other. It is well known in the Yangtze River. But they restrain each other. Even if Fu Gong Er has a heart, he is powerless. Alas! Don't expect to seize Jiangdu. Is it? We know the situation in our hometown better than you, Shao Lingzhou and Li Zitong are gangsters, and the control of the city defense is extremely strict, and our people have no way to infiltrate."

Xing Rong said: "Li Zitong has recruited a large number of Jiangnan martial arts masters. Although you and Xiaoling are strong in martial arts, you can't beat four hands with two fists. According to our information, there are only [-] elite Li troops in Jiangdu City, plus those outside the city. The garrison and navy fleet of the two camps, Jiangdu alone has a strength of [-] to [-] troops. It is easy for you to enter the city, but it is difficult to leave the city. We discussed for a long time, and finally concluded that you have no chance of winning. "

Shen Mu slumped against the back of the chair, and sighed: "You shouldn't lie to me, but if I can't get Jiangdu, I'm waiting to die here."

Gui Xiliang said: "Frankly speaking, what we are worried about now is not whether you can capture Jiangdu, but whether Li Zitong will go north from Zhongli Waterway to attack your Liangdu. If I were Li Zitong, I would divide my troops into two groups and take them all the way. Liangdu is heavily surrounded to hold you here, and the other way is to attack Donghai from the sea, which is also the place where he was born, and his people are still lurking in the city."

Xing Rong also earnestly persuaded: "Instead of sitting still and waiting for death, it is better to abandon Pengliang, sneak from the sea to Lingnan, and then expand there, first clean up Shen Faxing and Lin Shihong, and return to the south under your banner, stand firm, and then cross the river to challenge the Li Clan. "

Shen Mu held his head and said: "Your words are not unreasonable, let me think about it first!" Then he laughed and said: "Don't talk about these discouraging things anymore, let's find a place in the city to drink, and think about other things tomorrow .It's not okay to work all day, you have to have a light-hearted moment, right?"

After sending Gui Xiliang and Xing Rong away, Shen Mu planned Qianlimeng to relax outside the city, and Wuming circled high above his head to follow.No matter how busy he is, he always finds time for Qianlimeng to stretch his muscles and play with Wuming.

This is Tuli's teaching that humans and animals need time to develop feelings and establish a close relationship.

Wuming swooped down in the sky, Shen Mu uttered bird words, raised his left arm to let it land, and when the hard eagle claws grabbed his wrist, he felt an intimate feeling of flesh and blood connection with his beloved horse and eagle.

Maybe one day, he will be defeated and run away. His brothers around him will fall one by one, and the enemies all over the mountains and plains will chase after him, but he is exhausted and only loves horses and eagles to follow. After losing everything, will he commit suicide like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu?

Shen Mu showed a bitter smile.

When Gui Xiliang and Xingrong felt sorry for Lihai and refused to help him seize Jiangdu, he felt for the first time that he was in a desperate situation.They have different identities now, and there are thousands of brothers living under their leadership. It is impossible for him to put all of them into danger of being wiped out by an order.

Their analysis was based on the actual situation. Even if he could attack Jiangdu, but with Li Zitong's sufficient preparation, even if he could be proud for a while, it would not last long.Even if there was a miracle, he succeeded in driving Li Zitong away, but when the Li army in other cities counterattacked when his position was not stable, he would never be able to defend Jiangdu, and in the end he still could not escape the fate of being wiped out. His subordinates went to die in vain.

Thinking of the street fighting after Dou Jiande broke Liyang City, his whole spine felt chills.At that time, Dou's army was ten times stronger than the enemy's, and the enemy's general led his troops to flee. The defenders were exhausted and their morale was low after many days of sleepless nights. Go, pay the price of heavy casualties for the final victory.

Jiangdu is no better than Li Yang, even if he invaded the city with Pengliang's [-] young commanders, he still can't destroy the Jiangdu Palace, which is comparable in scale to the Chang'an Palace. If it wasn't for the rebellion of chickens in cages, how could Yang Guang be overthrown so easily.

Most of the soldiers in his young commander's army are rookies who have never fought a tough battle before. No matter how well-trained they are and how loyal they are to themselves, they will not be able to bear the most tragic street-to-lane struggle when they first go to the battlefield.

A vivid scene appeared in Shen Mu's mind: He and his men climbed up the city wall, broke through the gap, and charged into the city. And the high point is sprinkled, bringing up a puff of flesh and blood.

The elite soldiers in the palace continued to reinforce, and the troops in the camp outside the city swarmed in.

Shen Mu couldn't help shuddering, feeling shuddering and amazed.

When the city of Luoyang was broken, Li Shimin led his army to the east, and Li Zitong cut off all the waterways and land routes he retreated from behind. How many days can Pengliang, who has no danger to defend, last?
Should he accept Gui Xiliang and Xingrong's advice and sneak to Lingnan while he can escape?

However, his Young Commander-in-Chief's army is finished. Except for Xuanyong's two thousand men, Bu Tianzhi's Jukun Gang and the Shuanglong Gang's hundreds of brothers, the others are all born and raised in the Pengliang area. How could they leave their families and accompany them? He went to a secluded place in the southern corner.

What would Song Que think of him?Will they flee to support him because he does not fight?

Can't do left, can't do right, in a dilemma, the feeling of nowhere to advance or retreat makes him so sad and distressed that he wants to cry aloud to vent his inner resentment.

Gui and Xing's words shattered his last hope.

Shen Mu summoned his servants and generals to talk at night with the lights on.

Attendees included Xu Xingzhi, Xuan Yong, Ren Meimei, Gao Zhandao, Chen Laomou, Bai Wenyuan, Jiao Hongjin, Cha Jie, Niu Fengyi, Bu Tianzhi, Chen Changlin, and Luo Qifei.All the leaders of the Young Marshal's Army gathered in the lobby of the Young Marshal's Mansion. It was like the first court meeting, but it was held at night.

Shen Mu sat in the main seat at the end of the lobby facing the door, and the others sat on both sides.

Shen Mu had a calm demeanor, no one could see the despondency he had been thinking about just now.

Of course everyone knew that he had something important to say, so they held their breath and waited for him to speak.

Shen Mu glanced at the crowd, and smiled calmly: "I just talked with the leader Gui, and I realized that my thoughts are naive. Li Zitong distributed his troops in Yanling, which is across the river from the capital of Jiangdu, guarding Zhongli at the confluence of the rivers, and the nearest to our south. Gaoyou in Xinjiang is very clever in strategy, and I agree with Chief Gui, if we march into Jiangdu, we will definitely lose."

All the generals changed color.

Xuan Yong said: "According to Gui's opinion, will Li Zitong use troops against us? If he ordered Gaoyou's and Zhongli's troops to invade northward by land and water, we would have a very difficult time dealing with it.

Shen Mu shrugged and said, "This is exactly what Gui Gui is worried about. But I'm sure Li Zitong doesn't have the guts. To be more precise, Li Shimin doesn't have confidence in Li Zitong."

Ren Meimei was puzzled and said, "Young Marshal, can you explain clearly?"

Shen Mudao: "Since Li Zitong has returned to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin is his master. Li Shimin doesn't expect Li Zitong to destroy me, so he should order Li Zitong to contain me with all his strength, and at the same time prevent me from attacking Jiangdu from the south. Li Zitong divided his troops into four cities and said It may not be Li Shimin's intention, otherwise Li Zitong's cowardice is afraid of death, so how could he not concentrate his troops in Jiangdu."

Xu Xingzhi agreed, "Young Marshal's words are very true."

Bu Tianzhi said worriedly: "If we are restrained by Li Zitong until we can't move, Luoyang City will be destroyed one day, Li Shimin's army will come east, and Li Zitong will invade our cities in southern Xinjiang, won't we be enemies on both sides?"

Chen Changlin said: "Tang Shi's navy and Li Zitong's sea fleet are capable enough to cut off the traffic in our canal and blockade the coastal cities."

Shen Mu smiled and said: "Of course we can't sit still and wait for death. The solution is very simple, which is to defeat Li Zitong before the city of Luoyang is destroyed. This is called choosing the weak and eating."

Everyone was confused. Just now Shen Mu said that attacking Jiangdu would be defeated, but now he said that Li Zitong would be defeated. Isn't it inconsistent.

Only Xu Xingzhi smiled and remained silent, apparently guessing what kind of medicine Shen Mu's gourd was selling.

Shen Mu happily said: "If you do, please express your opinion and see if it coincides with mine."

Xu Xingzhi said with a smile: "Should I lure the enemy to attack, and then take advantage of the vacancy to enter, avoid the serious and take the light, and take the easy at the expense of the difficult?"

Shen Mu patted the armrest and sighed: "If you know me, you can do it. Who can tell me how to lure that fool Li Zitong to attack us?"

Everyone was infected by his powerful analysis and huge confidence from the heart, and their morale immediately rose.

Jiao Hongjin said disdainfully: "I know Li Zitong, a man with great ambition and talent. He is as timid as a mouse, but also very happy. If he hadn't taken advantage of Yu Wenhua and his departure, he had entered the city before Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing. Who would Jiangdu win?" Him. As long as he thinks that he has the opportunity to make great contributions to the Tang family, and he always thinks that we are still fledgling, he will definitely be able to lure him to send troops to the north."

Chen Laomou said with a strange smile: "Li Zitong is in trouble this time! Why don't we pretend to attack Jiangdu, pretending to send Liangdu's heavy troops to the front line, Li Zitong will definitely order Zhongli's soldiers to attack from the waterway , we can fight head-on.”

Shen Mu happily said: "What Chen Gong said is half of my heart, but don't forget that this bastard is very timid. If he thinks that we attack Jiangdu, he will only transfer Zhongli's soldiers back to Jiangdu to protect him. How dare he go north rashly."

Hearing this, everyone in the audience knew that he had the wisdom in his hands and had a whole plan in his heart.

Shen Mu said: "Comparing your heart to your heart, how would a person who is cowardly and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty without a fight guess the enemy?"

Cha Jie couldn't help asking: "What would he think?"

This sentence has a bit of naivety, which makes everyone smile and the atmosphere is relaxed.

Shen Mu thought to himself that his method of controlling his subordinates would not be much inferior to Li Shimin, he laughed and said, "Of course I thought the other party was as courageous as him!"

The hall roared with laughter, and suddenly, the situation of the tiger in front and the wolf in back was no longer terrible.

Shen Mu's eyes were shining brightly, he straightened his back and shoulders, and said with a serious face: "This trip is considered a marching exercise. We transferred 5000 of the 28 soldiers from Liangdu to the East China Sea, and concentrated the ships to the East China Sea. In Donghai County, only [-] airships are left as secret weapons."

Xu Xingzhi patted his legs and sighed: "Li Zitong must have mistakenly thought that we were exhausted and had to retreat to Lingnan. In order to make a great contribution to the robbing, we will definitely attack."

Ren Meimei frowned and said, "But if we gather troops to the East China Sea, we can also attack Jiangdu from the sea."

Shen Mu said in a deep voice: "So the timing of the army's mobilization is very important. The moment the Hulao city is broken is when we mobilize the army. I can guarantee that Li Shimin has already ordered Li Zitong to prevent us from fleeing to the south, so when he suspects us The young commander-in-chief has the intention of fleeing, so he will do everything possible to stop it. Li Zitong will not let me go in public or privately, and I, Shen Mu, will use his mentality to annihilate him. Everyone, go back and think about it, how to do it well This scene? Our goal is not Jiangdu, but Zhongli. Since Li Zitong loses Zhongli, Gaoyou will be in danger, so Zhongli is the place he must fight for. At that time, I will make him lose his ground and make it difficult for him to do anything."

The generals agreed with a bang.
