Chapter 690 Your Family
"Thank you, general! The general should know my master's rules, and the people below are not allowed to accept gifts at will."
Luo Da'an politely refused, pushed his palm lightly, and pushed the sword back, with neither humble nor overbearing attitude.
Since his father died, his mother cried like a tearful person, and he has grown a lot after going through that experience.
Although the mother was born as a peasant woman, she didn't know a lot of big characters, but she did understand some principles. She told him that the reason why their two brothers were able to be regarded as disciples by Meng Shanming and Lan Ruoting was because his father worked hard. No matter how many people ask for such an opportunity, the two brothers must strive for it.
Let me ask, how could Luo Daan break the rules and accept gifts so easily.
Seeing this, Xu Jingyue's lieutenant general was dissatisfied and scolded: "This is one of the general's swords, and no one else can ask for it. How can you be so hypocritical?"
Xu Jingyue immediately reprimanded: "Shut up!"
Meng Shanming's steady voice came from inside the tent, "Who is making noise outside?"
Xu Jingyue bumped her elbow back, and the general who hit him staggered back a few steps and rubbed his chest.
Xu Jingyue and Luo Daan returned to the tent one after another, only to see Gong Lince checking Meng Shanming's body in the wheelchair himself.
Meng Shanming has been sleeping for a full day, and his energy and spirit have obviously improved a lot. His originally dark face has slowed down, and there is also a little blood.
Luo Daan walked to the wheelchair and leaned over and whispered something in Meng Shanming's ear.
Meng Shanming glanced at the extra sword in Xu Jingyue's hand, and said calmly: "Since it is the wish of your father's old friend, please accept it!"
"Yes!" Luo Daan responded, and immediately walked up to Xu Jingyue, stretching out his hands as if begging, "Thank you, General Xu."
"..." Xu Jingyue was speechless, and handed him the sword in her hand.
Gong Lince's hand also left Meng Shanming's body, stood up straight and said: "I wanted Meng Shuai to rest for a while, but the military situation is urgent, waiting for Meng Shuai to make up his mind, so I had to let Meng Shuai wake up in advance. "
After the victory of the Hukou defense line, Song Guojiang's defense line suddenly loosened. Zhang Hu and others naturally felt that the princes and horses on the other side should take advantage of the momentum to cross the river.
But Gong Lince felt that how could Song Guo have such kindness, and worried about fraud.
To put it bluntly, Gong Lince was not at ease about the abilities of Zhang Hu and others, and felt that Meng Shanming should make a decision on such a matter, so he asked Meng Shanming to wake up.
The battle on the Hukou defense line was arranged by Meng Shanming in advance, but it was only handed over to the subordinates to execute it. He cared about the battle situation as soon as he woke up, and Luo Daan had already reported the battle situation to him.
As for the current situation of Jiang Fang in Song State, Meng Shanming didn't know yet, so he waved his hand and said, "Go to the camp of the Chinese Army."
So a group of people came out one after another, surrounded Meng Shanming and went to the tent of the Chinese army.
Once in the account, Meng Shanming signaled to report the situation, and Zhang Hu immediately stood in front of the map and explained the situation of the enemy and ourselves in detail.
After Zhang Hu finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Meng Shanming.
Meng Shanming stared at the map for a while, and said slowly: "The Song army loosened the line of defense from north to south, and they are going to attack this side. Order An Xianzhao, Su Qitong, and Shi Xinmao to take advantage of the situation to cross the river and wait for my follow-up military order!"
"Yes!" Zhang Hu replied, and glanced at Gong Lince by the way.
Gong Lince received it, understood what the other party meant, and felt that he was going too far, but the result was not the same as crossing the river.
Xu Jingyue asked with a dry smile, "Changzhou's troops have suffered a lot, and it's my Gongzhou's turn to make meritorious service. Meng Shuai, what's the next step?"
Meng Shanming stared at the map without looking back, "I have something to discuss with the head of the palace, you go out first."
"Uh..." Xu Jingyue was speechless again, and wanted to say something, but Zhang Hu grabbed her arm and dragged her out.
There are no other people in the tent, only Meng Shanming, Gong Lince and Luo Daan are left.
Meng Shanming was still staring at the map, Gong Lince waited for a while to break the calm, and asked, "What advice does Meng Shuai have?"
Meng Shanming came back to his senses, Luo Daan also pushed him to face Gong Lince.
Meng Shanming: "I have a secret plan, and I need the cooperation of the three major sects to send reliable monks. I don't know what the master of the palace wants?"
Gong Lince said: "As long as it can be done, of course we will spare no effort to cooperate, Meng Shuai said it's okay."
Meng Shanming asked for the pole, pointed to a certain location on the map, and began to explain clearly to Gong Lince.
After Gong Lince understood what he meant, he assured him, and then quickly left to make arrangements.
As soon as Gong Lince left, Xu Jingyue came in again, holding a large bowl of meat porridge with both hands, and said with a smile: "Meng Shuai, this is a little game that the last general let people kill, and the stewed meat porridge is already stewed." After a long time, the stew will be rotten, just to feed Meng Shuai's stomach."
Meng Shanming slept for so long and didn't eat, and he was indeed hungry, so he was not polite.
Taking advantage of Meng Shanming to eat and drink, Xu Jingyue dawdled by, hoping that the Gongzhou people would also make meritorious deeds. Most importantly, I wanted to ask how the two grains won by Zhang Hu's people would be distributed, and repeatedly expressed that they had It is true that there is not much food on the table.
Meng Shanming drank the porridge slowly, but when he didn't hear it, Xu Jingyue was embarrassed again, and realized that he was asking for trouble.
If someone else is the commander-in-chief, Xu Jingyue is likely to slap the table, but she really has no confidence and dare not face Meng Shanming.
Of course, if it was someone else, he wouldn't be so flattering.
...
"Immediately notify all the troops to stop the assembly, and those who have already evacuated the line of defense will return immediately!"
Luo Zhaoxin's order arrived, and Wu Qunlie, who saw the new order in Jiang Fang Governor's Mansion, immediately issued an order.
All the generals in the hall looked at each other, and one general asked, "Why? Could it be possible to block back? Shi Xinmao's troops have already crossed the river, and now they can't block it even if they want to go back."
Wu Qunlie passed on Luo Zhao's order to everyone.
After reading it, everyone understands that Jiang Fang is still abandoning the defense, but the previous plan of gathering superior forces to wipe out the enemy's first troops crossing the river was cancelled, and they jumped directly to the last step, entangled and harassed, and exhausted the enemy.
Someone looked at the new order and sighed: "In this way, after loosening the line of defense and not making any resistance, the court may find it difficult to explain."
Wu Qunlie: "It's not something we worry about. Since the Commander-in-Chief has issued such an order, there will naturally be a Commander-in-Chief at the court to support him. All we have to do is to torment the Yan army and consume them to death. From now on, all ministries will Stare at the back of each unit of the Yan Army, the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy retreats and harasses, and does not give the enemy a chance to obtain food and grass, let's see how long Meng Shanming can last!"
Someone tried to ask again, "Who will keep an eye on Zhang Hu's men and horses?"
Everyone understood what he meant, Zhang Hu's troops had actually become the central army of the Yan army's eastward march, and Meng Shanming was there.
After two consecutive battles, this side has already experienced how powerful Meng Shanming is, so go to watch Meng Shanming? Somewhat timid.
Wu Qunlie's cheeks tensed up, and he said in a deep voice: "The people from my headquarters are going to watch in person. I don't believe that something can happen. Inform all departments, spread out spies, and keep an eye on the movements of all the horses and horses of their respective targets. The army and the target Keep your distance and beware of being lured into a trap!"
Not only was it aimed at the arrangement of Jiang Fang's troops, but for the sake of safety, Luo Zhao persuaded the three major factions, and Song Huang's support for this adopted son was also quite strong. Against the criticism and pressure from the court, Song State began to implement Luo Zhao's plan. Another strategy.
After calculating the maximum lifespan of the Yan Army’s grain and grass, all the people in the cities and villages within a certain range from the war zone were forced to move back, remove all food, and destroy all crops. They would rather cause considerable losses to Song than I made up my mind not to leave a grain of food for Yan Jun!
I don't know how many people were crying and forced to leave their hometowns. Many people were not rich, but just guarded some crops in the field.
But there is no way, under the general situation, these ordinary people cannot be the masters!
...
The five troops of the Yan Army have crossed the river and entered the territory of Song State.
At the same time, Meng Shanming's side was quickly informed of the changes on Song's side.
In such a big battle, both sides will send a large number of spies to each other, and it is impossible for such a huge abnormal situation to be hidden from the eyes and ears of the spies.
Song Guojiang defended against the stalking and harassment of the men and horses, and then contacted the people to evacuate wantonly, making it clear that he wanted to consume the Yan army to death.
The news came from various sources that the situation was not good, and the atmosphere in the tent of the Chinese Army was a bit heavy. The Song Army wanted to consume the Yan Army to death, but it happened to pinpoint the weakness of the Yan Army.
"Luo Zhao changed his strategy, this kid is not confused!" Meng Shanming stared at the map and nodded slowly.
Before, the opponent made it clear that they wanted to concentrate their superior forces to attack this side, but now Jiang Fang's troops have dispersed to harass several groups of troops here.
Zhang Hu said: "Marshal, even though we robbed some food, even if we drink weak food in normal times and eat dry food in wartime, we won't be able to last long."
"Stand back, let me be quiet." Meng Shanming waved his back to everyone.
Everyone looked at each other and exited the tent one after another, leaving only the master and apprentice in the tent.
The tea boiled, Luo Daan went to the side to pour tea and water.
Meng Shanming suddenly asked, "Da'an, you have been with me for a long time. Luo Zhao is also your family, and they are all named Luo. Luo Zhao changed his strategy. What do you think?"
Coming over with tea, Luo Daan, who just put down the teacup, was taken aback for a moment, slowly straightened up, and looked at Meng Shanming's reaction, "Master already has the answer in his heart."
Meng Shan yelled, "You see, I'm useless, let's hear the answer."
Luo Da'an turned his head to look at the map: "No matter how much Luo Zhao's strategy changes, it's useless. As long as Jiang Fang's troops are still entangled with us, it's hard to escape the master's plan to execute it. The only difference is that it's a lot of trouble, but as long as we The people and horses are deployed properly, and the result will not change. There is also a place for the decisive battle. I am afraid that we have to choose another place. The opponent’s method has changed, and the original place for the final battle is no longer suitable.”
Meng Shanming, "Then help me find the most suitable place."
"Uh...Master, I..." Luo Da'an wanted to say something, but Meng Shan interrupted his words with "Come here".
A guard from the outside entered and pushed him out under the signal of Meng Shanming.
Luo Da'an was the only one left in the tent. He was stunned for a while, and finally walked to the map to examine it carefully.
Outside the tent, a group of people were discussing, seeing Meng Shanming coming out, they immediately went up to greet him.
Zhang Hu asked, "Marshal, is there a countermeasure?"
Meng Shanming said: "The countermeasure Da'an is thinking inside, I am old and my energy is low, the next battle will be left to Da'an to command."
