Chapter 2015 Secret Weapon
The news from Liaodong has not yet reached Chu Huan's ears, but the news from Hujin has quickly reported to Chu Huan.
Qiu Ruxue escaped from Hujin and traveled day and night. After rushing to Wuping Affiliated City, Chu Huan happened to summon Qiu Ruxue immediately during the gap between practicing martial arts.
"Xuanyuan Shao was sure to die, but he was rescued." Qiu Ruxue didn't drink a sip of water, so he reported the situation in Hujin to Chu Huan: "Most of the people in the inn were surrounded and annihilated, but a few people escaped. Meilong sent people across the city to search for the whereabouts of Xuanyuan Shao and his gang members, but no trace was found."
Chu Huan nodded slightly and asked, "What's the situation over Wenpu?"
"The trap set by Meilong has captured Wenpu's troops in one place." Qiu Ruxue said: "Meilong sent people to divide Wenpu's troops into two. Among them, Wenpu's unit was brought into the tiger's mouth. An ambush had been set up there. Using fire attacks, almost all Meilong's troops were burned to death in the valley. They wanted to break through the valley entrance, but the exit was sealed by stones, and none of them could escape."
Chu Huan sighed and said, "Wenpu naturally did not expect to be ambushed by Meilong, otherwise with his experience, he would never have entered the Jedi."
"Meilong is just worried about an accident. Both sides are taking action at the same time. In this way, there will be no news leak." Qiu Ruxue said: "Wenpu thought Xuanyuan Shao was in Zhengcheng, and the Hujin army would never be able to attack them. But he did not expect that Meilong had been bribed by us and betrayed Qin."
Chu Huan was silent for a moment before asking, "Milong has promised to surrender to us?"
"He has no way out." Qiu Ruxue said: "Meilong is a person who knows the current affairs. He knows that there is no way out to follow Qin. When he designed to assassinate Xuanyuan Shao, he had completely broken up with Qin. Without any other way out, he could only surrender to the king's command. However, when his subordinates left, he showed his words, hoping that the king would keep his promise and not be untrustful."
"Does he be appointed as the Duke and granted ten thousand households?" Chu Huan laughed and said, "As long as he sincerely submits to him, he will naturally not break his promise."
Qiu Ruxue said: "The subordinate told him that since she has decided to surrender to the king, in order to show her since she is sincere, she should come to Wuping Mansion to meet the king as soon as possible."
"What did he say?"
"He was a little hesitant at first." Qiu Ruxue said: "I think he was still a little worried, but he had no other choice. In the end, he agreed to arrange the matter at hand as soon as possible and would come to meet the king."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Brother Qiu, you have made great contributions this time. If you take action yourself, you can make one follower. It is really a general who defeats a thousand troops. In this way, you don't have to fight Hujin, and you can avoid being miserable."
When Qiu Ruxue heard Chu Huan still called himself a brother, he felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "The king is too proud. If it weren't for the strong army in the Northwest, the great power, and the king is planning, Meilong would never have surrendered."
"How hard you have to work this time, take a few days off." Chu Huan said with a smile: "I won't reward you for the time being, and I will reward you more again when I look back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice from outside: "The General is here!"
After Pei Ji came in, Chu Huan informed Hujin of the situation. Pei Ji smiled and said, "If you don't move a soldier, Hujin will be surrendered. Qiu Daxiao really made great contributions."
Qiu Ruxue was humble. He knew that Pei Ji was coming and there must be something important to find Chu Huan, so he stepped back first. Pei Ji then said, "Second brother, the things you have been waiting for have finally been delivered. It was Sun Zikong who delivered them in person."
Chu Huan didn't react for a moment and said, "What?" As soon as he said, he immediately remembered and showed joy, saying, "Brother, you mean!"
Pei Ji nodded slightly and said, "It's the secret weapon you have been talking about. Now it's delivered. Second brother, you have been showing off with me for a long time. What are the costumes there?"
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Brother, without those things, I am really not sure to fight the Liaodong Iron Cavalry. I thought it would take until after the spring of next year to deliver it, but I didn't expect that Manager Du would deliver the things so quickly!" He lowered his voice and said, "Brother didn't open the box to see what was inside?"
Pei Ji said: "Since you say it is a secret weapon, who dares to open it easily without your instructions?"
Chu Huan asked with a smile: "Where is Sun Zikong now? Have you arrived?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zikong's voice came from outside: "Master, I haven't seen you here for a long time, I miss you a disciple." As he spoke, Sun Zikong, who was like a monkey, had already trotted in from outside the door.
Chu Huan looked at Sun Zikong a few times. Although Sun Zikong was still as thin as ever, he was full of energy and looked full of energy. He didn't look tired of traveling a long distance. He went over and patted Sun Zikong on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Thank you hard on the road, what's the situation in Shuoquan?"
Sun Zikong smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, the family is good. Manager Du knew that the master was using it urgently and was worried that if there was any delay, it would be a big deal for the master. So since we received the master's order, we have been working hard day and night, secretly stepping up the production. We could have sent it half a month in advance, but some of the construction problems were wrong. Manager Du said that these things cannot be made up for the best of their ability, so he stepped up the production, which delayed a little more time."
"Your speed has surprised me." Chu Huan laughed and said, "According to my estimate, it should be after the beginning of spring. This has been ahead of time by at least two or three months."
"Of course we dare not neglect what the master told me." Sun Zikong smiled and said, "There are 15,000 pieces in total, and they can be used at any time and temporarily sent to the warehouse."
Chu Huan said, "You have worked hard along the way. Take your brothers who are delivering goods to have a good meal and then have some rest. I will order someone to prepare food for you."
"Thank you, Master." Sun Zikong received the praise from Chu Huan and felt happy. After retreating, Chu Huan asked Pei Ji: "Brother, you are proficient in astronomy and geography. Now there is something you really need to help with."
"Oh?" Pei Ji smiled and said, "What's the matter?"
Chu Huan walked out the door and looked up at the sky. Although there was no heavy snow these days, there was no snow, and it was difficult to have a clear weather. Even at this time, the sky and the earth were also gloomy. Pei Ji walked to Chu Huan and saw Chu Huan staring at the sky. He was a little strange. Just as he was about to ask, Chu Huan had already said: "Marching and fighting, the weather is right, the place is right, people are harmonious. Brother, this time is very important. Can you see how long it will take to clear up?"
"Look at the celestial phenomena?" Pei Ji was stunned, "Why did the second brother ask like this?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "I just want to know when the sun will appear. I haven't seen the rising sun for a long time. I really miss you very much."
Pei Ji couldn't guess what Chu Huan sold for a while, but seeing that he was very concerned about the sky, he said, "Observing the celestial phenomena, I can probably see the clouds and sunshine within a few days. However, it should not be clear in these days. Even if it clears up, it will take as long as five or six days."
"Five or six days?" Chu Huan pondered for a moment before asking, "Brother, do you think the Liaodong Army has not taken action for a long time. What are they going to do next?"
"It's just going south or going west." Pei Ji said: "I'm afraid even they themselves are hesitant. However, they have not moved for the time being. It should be that the logistics supplies have not been in place for a long time. If the logistics supplies are sufficient and they have many troops, they will naturally not remain unmoved."
Chu Huan thought for a while before saying, "Brother, I am going to mobilize troops to Gucheng!"
"Gucheng?" Pei Ji was quite surprised. He naturally knew that Gucheng was more than 100 miles east of Wuping Fucheng, and was in the middle of Daoma City and Wuping Mansion City.
Gucheng is just a county town, but it has a long history and has a history of hundreds of years. It is larger than the size of an ordinary county town. Moreover, although the city is not as majestic as Wuping Prefecture City, it is also considered a solid city. It is called Gucheng, but it is not because the city is strong, but is located in Guxian, which is the county town of Guxian.
When Guxian was at its peak, there were 40,000 to 50,000 in the city. For northern counties, there were already a large number of people, but Guxian is now sparsely populated and cold.
When the barbarian army attacked Wuping Fucheng, they collected food and grass in a radius of about a hundred miles. Guxian also became hunting areas for the barbarian army. There were countless people in Guxian who fled south, and most of them fled south towards Hujin Road.
Today, in Guxian City, only the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and those who are really unable to escape are left, which adds up to only a few thousand.
According to the previous strategic deployment, once the Liaodong Army arrived, the Northwest Army would retreat and lengthen the Liaodong Army's front line. Pei Ji did not know why Chu Huan suddenly changed his mind. Not only did he not prepare to retreat, he wanted to move the troops forward to Gucheng.
Chu Huan naturally saw Pei Ji's doubts and whispered: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in Wuping Prefecture City. If we withdraw and leave them behind, even if the Liaodong army will not massacre the people, in this cold winter, half of the people will die here. The Liaodong military food and grass are not sufficient, so it is hard for me to believe that they will distribute the military food to the people."
Pei Ji nodded slightly, Chu Huan continued: "If we withdraw and bring them with us, the speed will not be faster in such weather. If the Liaodong Army knew that we were withdrawing troops from Wuping Prefecture and the people, we would definitely pursue them from behind. At that time!" His expression became severe, and he paused slightly before saying: "If this winter is over, it will naturally be much easier to evacuate here, but the Liaodong Army is afraid that it will not be able to wait for that time."
Pei Ji naturally knew in his heart that although the overall strategy of the Northwest Army's enemy coming and retreating was beneficial to him, it was not so simple to join the hundreds of thousands of people in Wuping Prefecture City.
The Northwest Army was well-trained. When the enemy attacked, they retreated at any time. They were neat and neat. However, the people in the city were home, with many young and old, and winter snow was everywhere, so there was no possibility of getting out of the way.
Pei Ji started from the overall strategy and considered military strategy, and actually deliberately or unintentionally ignored the lives and deaths of the people in Wuping City.
"Is the second brother moving his troops forward to Gucheng to buy time?" Pei Ji asked.
"Since the Liaodong Army is well-trained and has rich combat experience, they will naturally pay close attention to the movements of Wuping Prefecture City." Chu Huan said: "We don't move. They naturally dare not act rashly before the food and supplies are supplemented. But if he finds that we start to withdraw our troops, he will never miss the opportunity, even if the food and grass are not arrived, they will come!"
"If you defend Gucheng, with this layer of defense, they naturally dare not attack Wuping Prefecture City. Even if Wuping Prefecture City wants to evacuate, Gucheng's defense can stop them for a period of time and buy time for evacuation." Pei Ji said softly: "But have you ever thought that once this happens, Gucheng defenders are likely to be surrounded by the Liaodong Army. They are crowded and powerful. Even if we transfer all the troops from Wuping Prefecture City to Gucheng, we will not be able to match their forces, and once we are surrounded!"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Brother, if you are the head coach of Liaodong, what is your first reaction when you see the Northwest Army not retreating but advancing?"
Pei Ji thought about it for a while before saying, "Most people would think that the Northwest Army was preparing to take the initiative to attack the Liaodong Army."
"I think so." Chu Huan said: "If I were the head coach of Liaodong, I would still think that since the Northwest Army dared to take the initiative to attack, it means that the Northwest Army has its own support. If we don't figure out the situation, we naturally cannot act rashly." A faint smile, "If it was Chi Lian Electric, we might not be able to hide it from him, but the head coach of the Liaodong Army is not Chi Lian Electric now."
Pei Ji pondered for a moment before saying, "Although that's the case, it's still very risky!"
"Brother, don't worry, I won't defend Gucheng." Chu Huan said: "If I want to evacuate, I can do it anytime, and I may not really need to evacuate at that time!"
"Second brother said you were personally leading the troops to Gucheng?"
Chu Huan nodded and said, "Yes, brother, I will give it to you in the rear. I will lead the cavalry to Gucheng. With this cavalry, no matter how advanced or retreated, the speed will not be below the Liaodong army. Moreover, there are hundreds of miles from Gucheng to Wuping Prefecture City. Even if the Liaodong army really wants to fight with all its strength, I can block them with the terrain along the way."
"No." Pei Ji immediately said: "Since I am a general, it is naturally my responsibility to charge forward. Since my second brother has made up his mind to block the enemy in Gucheng, I will not dissuade you. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and your choice may not be wrong. However, you still have to let me go to lead the troops to fight."
"Brother, don't fight anymore." Chu Huan laughed: "Brother knows that I have secret weapons in my hands and can be used in great use at that time. Don't worry, I have a clear idea in my heart and know what to do."
