Chapter 673 It's a Bit Unfair to Beat Him Like This

gift? Everyone was surprised.

The counselor Wen You asked curiously: "The governor wants to give Meng Shanming a gift?"

Luo Zhao asked with a smile: "Can't I send it off? It's really admirable that he is still dragging his broken body into battle in his old age. We might as well be more open-minded."

Everyone look at me, I look at you, see the strangeness hidden in his smile, always feel that things are not that simple.

Su Yuanbai, the elder of Lingxiao Pavilion, drove forward and asked with a smile, "What gift is the governor going to give?"

The monks here are in a good mood. Since Luo Zhao commanded the army to invade the territory of Yan Kingdom, a series of battles have indeed been fought beautifully. The destruction of Yan is just around the corner, so the monks from all sides are extremely polite to him.

"Horse! I have heard that Meng Shanming loves horses, so I should do what I like and bring the horse that General Lian gave me!"

Luo Zhao yelled, and someone immediately obeyed, and after a while, a white horse with strong muscles and white body was not seen. It was a gift given to Luo Zhao by the guard of the iron gate, Lian Anshan, after he surrendered. .

Having a horse was not enough, Luo Zhao also ordered someone to sew a coat for the horse on the spot.

A hood was draped over the horse's body sewn with white cloth, giving people the feeling of going to a funeral in sackcloth and mourning, and everyone looked strange.

Wen You said with a smile: "The gift from the governor is quite 'auspicious'."

This remark caused everyone to burst into laughter, and they all knew that what he said was ironic.

"Meng Shanming refuses to accept his old age, let me provoke him!" Luo Zhao jumped off the horse after saying that, asked for a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter to Meng Shanming with his own handwriting.

The bystanders looked closely at the content of the letter, and they all laughed non-stop. The surrounding people raised their heads, not knowing what the governor had written.

Ma Hexin arranges to be sent away.

Luo Zhao then came to the map again, summoned the generals to re-arrange the battle plan, and after the generals agreed, they each took orders to make preparations again.

The senior leaders of the three major sects of the Song Dynasty were puzzled after watching. Su Yuanbai tried to ask, "Did the governor change the battle plan?"

Luo Zhao nodded, and explained to several people: "Molesting is molesting, and it must not be underestimated. Meng Shanming's generation of famous generals is by no means a vain name. He is better than me in terms of battlefield experience, and his military tactics are even more sophisticated. Seizing Nanzhou and attacking Dingzhou, it can be seen that this man is not old. Once he straightens out the people of Yan Kingdom, we will easily suffer losses if we continue to deal with him. It is really inappropriate to continue to fight with him in the same way as ordinary people. We must adjust in time .Since ancient times, there have been countless failures due to negligence. How can we follow in that footsteps and feel heartbroken? Our Great Song Dynasty attacked with the power of the whole country. If we were negligent and defeated, how could we have the face to go back to see Jiangdong's elders?"

Wen You nodded in agreement.

Su Yuanbai, the elder of Lingxiao Pavilion, Dong Yinglai, the elder of Blood God Palace, and Chang Fei, the elder of Lietian Palace, looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the appearance of Meng Shanming made Luo Zhao completely change the battle plan.

The previous plan was very simple, it was to defeat the people of Yan State, and the highlight was how to dispatch troops and generals to fight with the Yan army to win.

The current plan is to give up fighting with the people of the Yan Kingdom, and only need to overcome the obstacles ahead and take the capital of the Yan Kingdom!

Dong Yinglai was a little puzzled, and asked for advice: "If you don't defeat the people of Yan State, what's the use of taking Yanjing? Don't you want to fight with the people of Yan State?"

Luo Zhao waved his hand and said: "No! This is the safest way to play. Meng Shanming has made a move. How can he continue to let South Korea watch the fun? It's time to force South Korea to do it."

The three elders looked at each other again, still a little confused, not knowing what it meant.

After Wen You pondered for a while, Nian Xu nodded and said, "I think I should understand the intention of the Great Governor."

"Oh!" Luo Zhao smiled, as if I wanted to listen to it.

The three elders also looked at Wen You together, Chang Fei, the elder of Lietian Palace, said, "I would like to hear your opinion."

Wen You paced back and forth in front of the map for a while. After sorting out his thoughts, he pointed to the map and said in detail: "As the governor said, even though I have a chance to win, I still can't underestimate Shang Meng Shanming. Meng Shanming Fighting with the army, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents when fighting with it. It is not a wise move to fight with it. Even if we win, the damage to our side will be incalculable. Even if Meng Shanming loses, I am afraid it will They will find a way to bite us hard, and once our strength is seriously damaged, we will be at a disadvantage when we carve up Yan with South Korea afterwards."

Pointing to the route to advance to Yanjing from the west, "The Yan army's food and grass are already facing difficulties. Meng Shanming must want to make a quick decision. I will not let him succeed. Going west, the Yan army is almost no danger to defend. Blocking the momentum of our army is like a broken bamboo, our army can go west in one go, and will not be entangled with surrounding harassment. Once Yanjing is in a hurry, the whole country of Yan will panic, how can the capital of the country fall? All parties will be rushed to help, and Meng Shanming will be able to do it again Fighting, what can we do? If you want to do nothing, you can only chase after our army."

"Meng Shanming's troops are already in distress. Slipping him away like this will consume a lot of time. Even if he catches up with me, how long will it take? At this time, our army can fight with Meng Shanming's troops." Zhou Xuan, when he runs out of food, he will be defeated without a fight. And if Yanjing is in an emergency, there is still a group of people who may not be able to think about it."

He raised his finger and pointed to the Beizhou area of ​​Yan State, "Yanjing is in a hurry, and the troops in the east are blocked by me. Seeing that Mengshan Ming's troops will be defeated sooner or later, they must urgently urge the northern troops to come to help. Once the defense line in the north of Yan State is loosened, South Korea How can we miss this opportunity? When the time comes, we will definitely send troops to attack!"

Dong Yinglai hesitated and said: "What if the upper echelons of the Yan Kingdom abandon the capital and flee?"

Wen You: "How can he be left to him at this point? It is the idea of ​​all mages to come and go easily. If you abandon the capital and flee, can you leave all the courtiers behind? How many officials, big and small, are there in the capital? How many family members? If you can escape, you will be surrounded by our army, and you must recruit northerners to help. Even if you can escape, it is impossible for some monks to escape with some high-level officials. It must be escorted by the capital army. Maybe you don’t want to leave the capital’s troops behind, if you dare to run, our troops will chase after them, and the opponent still has to urgently call in the northern troops to rescue.”

"Ten thousand steps back, even if the monks of the Yan Kingdom escaped with the high-level court, where can they escape? The eastern army is about to be defeated, and it is not safe to come. We can only escape to the place where the heavy troops are assembled in the north. At that time, our department will not care. He, after finishing the matter at hand, can directly enclose the land in Yan State, how can South Korea sit back and watch Song State enjoy such a feast, and must forcibly send troops to attack the northern defense line of Yan State in order to participate in the carve-up."

"That's why the governor's move is extremely clever, and it is also the safest way. The high-level officials of the Yan Kingdom will not care about Meng Shanming's life and death, but only worry about his own life and death. It must be urged desperately, and our military consumption can also consume him to death! Therefore Not only can he win, but he can also win safely with little loss, so why bother with Meng Shanming and take that risk, so what if we are afraid of him?"

"Haha..." Luo Zhao laughed heartily, raised his hand and patted Wen You on the shoulder, "Wen You also knows me!"

Wen You smiled and bowed his hands, humbled himself.

The three elders suddenly realized that they were sure to win, and all of them were surprised.

Su Yuanbai clapped his palms and praised: "The governor is really a genius in strategizing! Once the governor defeats Meng Shanming in this battle, he will surely achieve the immortal name of the governor!"

After Luo Zhao waved his hands, he sighed again: "I really want to confront Meng Shanming head-on. To beat him like this is quite inhumane."

"Hey!" Chang Fei said disapprovingly: "On the battlefield, there are no compromises. How can there be so much attention? Don't you hear that some soldiers never tire of cheating? If you win, you win. There is no victory on the battlefield without martial arts. We are lucky enough to join the army. It is truly a blessing in this life to witness with my own eyes the great governor's accomplishments!"

Luo Zhao cupped his hands: "I hope you all will cooperate with me in the future!"

The three elders clapped their hands together in return, and said in unison: "We must go all out, and we will not miss the battle of the commander-in-chief!"

Luo Zhao thanked him, turned his head and looked into the distance, "I wonder if Meng Shanming can inspire his blood to fight me to the death after receiving my gift?"

...

Outside the camp of Changzhou's troops, they finally arrived. Xu Jingyue, An Xianzhao, Su Qitong, and Shi Xinmao entered together.

Before everyone arrived, Meng Shanming who was inside the tent disappeared, and the one who came first had to stand outside the tent and wait.

The four of them entered, seeing Meng Shanming sitting upright in a wheelchair, each of them had mixed feelings, and bowed their hands together, "See you, Commander!"

Meng Shanming: "They are all princes of one side, there is no need to be so polite to me, a crippled old man. I said to Zhang Hu before that I am really old and my eyes are dumb. I really can't see how you are fighting this battle." Understood, so I specially invite you to ask for advice, I was rude and reckless, and I hope you will forgive me."

Including Zhang Hu, the five princes were ashamed and exchanged colors quietly with each other.

The elders of the three major sects on the side all looked uncomfortable. It was obvious that the five princes were honest in front of Meng Shanming. They didn't dare to breathe. They seemed to be more honest than meeting them. It makes people feel uncomfortable.

Xu Jingyue gave a dry laugh, and tried to say: "The commander-in-chief said that, the five of us really feel ashamed."

Meng Shanming sat there motionless, only his mouth moved: "Beizhou Shaodengyun guards Beizhou's important area to prevent South Korea from being able to escape, and Bozhou Chen Jiu, Qizhou Wu Kang'an's troops and the imperial court are also difficult to escape. Wugong Mountain in Cangzhou is probably Died at the hands of his younger brother, now you should see why I suppressed Wu Gongling back then, it was because I was merciful back then."

An Xianzhao said weakly: "You can't blame the Marshal. It was the prince who stopped the Marshal because of Wu Gongshan's face."

Meng Shanming ignored his words, "Back then I had eighteen generals, and only eight of you were left alive. Shao Dengyun, Chen Jiu, and Wu Kang'an were firstly involved in something, and secondly, I didn't dare You are all greeted, and now you are all princes after all, your wings are stiff, and you are used to calling the wind and rain in your own state, so why would you pay attention to me, a crippled old man. But the prince appointed me As the General of the Eastern Expedition, I really don’t know what to do. How dare I let this disabled old man command you princes, so I called you five to try it out, just to ask you, I will do this Eastern Expedition Is the general suitable?"

PS: For the Chinese New Year, I wanted to be lazy, but I saw that there was a new leader, so I was ashamed to eliminate the troubles and write another chapter, thanking the new leader "Under the Indus" for supporting me!
