Chapter 329 We are going to build a career

In the inner hall of the Dusi, Xiping Hou came quickly.

Following behind were Li Jinglong, Xu Sima,

Wait until three people enter.

Su Yunzhou, the deputy commander of the capital, hurried over.

He bowed to the two of them and sat aside.
Soon, Wang Jingxuan, the deputy commander in charge of coordinating and deploying the Dusi Guards, also came over.

Holding a stack of documents in his hands.

A big meeting is held for small matters, and a small meeting is held for big matters.

The previous discussion in the hall was only known to the officials of the three divisions.
Now the border is tense and the war has begun.

But how to deploy troops and defensive and offensive strategies?

Only a few core members of the Dusi need to discuss it.

After everyone sat down, they were not idle.

Mu Ying looked at the many military reports and intelligence information he had sorted out.
Su Yunzhou also held a military newspaper in his hand and whispered with Wang Jingxuan from time to time.

Li Jinglong was much more relaxed. He frowned and thought about the real attack direction of Luchuan.
And the difficulties that the forward army scouts will face after arriving in Dali.

But the more I think about it, the more confused I become.

At this time, the sound of light footsteps was heard.
Su Yunzhou turned his head and looked, and saw Wang Jingxuan doing the same.

But soon, their faces froze, and fear appeared in their eyes.
The man was an acquaintance. His tall figure was full of oppression, and his handsome appearance did not conceal his coldness.
As his eyes swept across the battlefield, they were filled with the bravery of fighting on the battlefield.

"Yun Yi, when did you come back?"

Li Jinglong, who was at the top, also saw the person coming and couldn't help but let out an exclamation!
The visitor was none other than Lu Yunyi, the prince's guest, the deputy commander of the Peking Capital, and the chief of the front army's scout unit.

The black uniform made him look particularly thin, but his aura was undiminished.

Lu Yunyi entered the inner hall, looked around, smiled softly, and bowed:
"Greetings to Lord Xiping, Duke Cao, and Lord Xu."

"Greetings, Lord Su and Lord Wang."

Mu Ying, who was sitting at the top, raised his head and smiled:
"Why did you come back so early? Is there nothing to do in Dali Prefecture?"

"Reporting to Lord Mu, Dali Prefecture is a beautiful place with clear water and green mountains.

It is a great pleasure for me to travel with my wife.

But Luchuan Silunfa has been stable for a long time,
Calculating the time, I thought there should be some movement, so I thought about returning as soon as possible.

On the way, Jingdong happened to be in an urgent state of 800 miles, so he became even more anxious and hurried to the Dusi. "

Mu Ying waved his hand:

"Okay, okay, sit down. There is indeed some trouble on the front line.
You're back just in time.

I intend to send you to lead the army to Dali to first wipe out the 50,000 Luchuan soldiers who came to spy on us."

Mu Ying was reading the military newspaper while speaking recklessly,

There was no hindrance at all because of Lu Yunyi's suspension.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present understood what Mu Ying meant.
Thinking back to what I said in the main hall,

The provincial government and the provincial judicial commissioner will surely make a decision on the killing of prisoners soon.

The result, of course, needs no further explanation.

Lu Yunyi walked to the side and sat down. After looking at Li Jinglong who was looking excited,

He nodded imperceptibly, and then spoke in a deep voice:
"I obey your orders."

Hearing such a concise answer,
Mu Ying couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile:
"Yes, it would be great if all the generals in the Dusi were as efficient as you."

Listening to Mu Ying's sighing words,

Both Su Yunzhou and Wang Jingxuan couldn't help but feel extremely strange.

Sima Xu burst into laughter, patted the armrest of the chair, and said bluntly:
"Wenying, this is the father-in-law seeing his son-in-law, the more he looks at him, the more he likes him."

Mu Ying glanced at him and responded without hesitation:
"Old Ma, I have a son-in-law, do you have one?"

After saying this, Li Jinglong lowered his head to hide the expression on his face.

The Central Army Commander Xu Sima had only two sons.
The desire to have a daughter has spread throughout the capital over the years.

But alas, I have never been able to achieve my wish.

Sima Xu's face darkened instantly.
I felt my scalp was itchy and kept scratching my head.

When he tried to think of a rebuttal in his mind, he was about to speak, but Mu Ying raised his hand to stop him.
"Stop making a fuss, the discussion is urgent!"

"I"

Sima Xu's chest swelled, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Finally, he let out a long sigh and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth:

"Okay, you guys discuss it."

Hearing this, Su Yunzhou and Wang Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief silently.

The people in front of me are all related to me.

The two of them were now sitting here on pins and needles, as if they were outsiders.

Mu Ying put down the document in his hand with a serious expression and spoke in a deep voice:
"Master Su is right.

The most urgent task is to find out the direction of Luchuan's attack and what Si Lunfa really wants."

Mu Ying looked at Su Yunzhou and asked in a deep voice:

"Lord Su, where do you think Luchuan's real attack direction is?"

Su Yunzhou spoke decisively:
"Reporting to Lord Mu, I think it was Chu Xiong.

Chuxiong is connected to Jingdong. If we attack Chuxiong,
Whether it is for supplying the Luchuan front or replenishing troops, it is an excellent choice.

On the contrary, if we attack Dali,
On the contrary, due to the long battle line, we will be able to intercept them by a surprise attack from Chuxiong.

It is impossible for Si Lunfa not to see this.
Therefore, I think Luchuan should fight with us in Chuxiong and Jingdong."

Mu Ying's face was solemn, and he nodded slightly.
This made a lot of sense. He turned to look at Wang Jingxuan and asked:
"Sir Wang, based on the information sent back by the Luchuan spies, what conclusion did the Dusi come to?"

Wang Jingxuan's face was solemn, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"Lord Mu, since Hanba was arrested, the Jingdong front has been mobilizing troops.

According to the information, in the past ten days,
Si Lunfa has already transferred 20,000 elite troops from the hinterland of Jingdong to the front line and stationed them near Mengle Mountain.

Now there is news that elephant soldiers are gathering on the west side of Lidu River.

After repeated deductions, Luchuan's attack on Chuxiong is the most appropriate strategy."

Mu Ying thought about it and nodded:
"After the Golden Tooth Guards were recaptured, this Marquis also believed that Luchuan would attack Chuxiong."

Luchuan broke the tacit agreement in Jingdong, and Daming also had no more concerns and occupied Jinchiwei.

With the Golden Tooth Guards guarding the vital throat, it would be much more difficult for Luchuan to attack Dali.

Moreover, the 50,000 soldiers from Dali Prefecture appeared too suddenly, probably to disrupt the judgment of the Dusi.

However, Li Jinglong frowned slightly.
I thought of the words spoken in the military tent when I first came to Kunming.
Dali is the barrier of Kunming and a strategic high ground for the entire Yunnan Province.

He thought for a moment and spoke in a deep voice:
"I think that the Lidu River between Chuxiong Prefecture and Jingdong Prefecture is not so easy to break through.
On the contrary, if Luchuan went north to attack Dali,
Even though the Golden Tooth Guards are involved, as long as enough price is paid,
By conquering Dingbian and Menghua Prefecture, both the danger in Jingdong and the difficulty in Luchuan would be easily resolved.

By then, Lidujiang will no longer be the barrier of Chuxiong Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty.

It is Luchuan's barrier that prevents us from attacking from Chuxiong Prefecture."

The people present frowned slightly and looked at the huge map not far away with surprise on their faces.

This makes sense.

Su Yunzhou looked at Li Jinglong, his mind turning.

He had to admit that he had underestimated Duke Cao.

After a while, he spoke in a deep voice:
"What Duke Cao said is not without reason.
But I still insist that Luchuan must cross the Lidu River and enter Chuxiong."

Li Jinglong felt a little embarrassed by such looks, after all, he was just repeating what others had said.

Mu Ying smiled, looked down at Lu Yunyi who had a calm expression, and asked:

"Yun Yi, tell me what you think."

Lu Yunyi paused and said:

"Reporting to the Marquis of Xiping, I am as humble as the Duke of Cao.
It is believed that Luchuan’s final attack destination was Dali.

In addition to the reasons mentioned by Cao Guogong, there is another important reason. "

"Talk about it."

Lu Yunyi spoke in a deep voice:
"My Lords, the reason why Luchuan had the courage to attack the Ming Dynasty was because of the elephant soldiers in his hands.

The success or failure of the elephant soldiers is the key to whether Luchuan will win this time."

The adults present thought deeply for a moment and nodded gently. Lu Yunyi continued:
"So, Luchuan will never let such a powerful weapon that can occupy everything fall into danger. Although the elephant soldiers are strong, they are only strong when surrounded by a large army.

This will give us the opportunity to attack and retreat calmly.

Even if faced with an interception, they can calmly protect the elephant soldiers and retreat.

However, attacking Chuxiong would put the elephant soldiers in danger.

Once the battle is fought across the river, the elephants will have no control over where they come from and where they go, which will put these powerful weapons in danger.

Once the elephants are lost,
The elite troops of Luchuan are definitely no match for our Ming Dynasty, so they have no chance of winning.

Therefore, I concluded that Silunfa would not let the elephant soldiers fall into danger.

They would not attack Chuxiong.

Then we will attack Dali, which has a flatter and more continuous terrain!"

Lu Yunyi's voice was sonorous and powerful, his eyes were firm,

Although Dali has changed, the Golden Tooth Guard and the Fish Tribe have been taken over.

But he still believed that Luchuan's attack target was Dali Dingbian!
His resolute look made several adults present frown slightly.
Although this statement does not involve specific warfare tactics,
But he pointed out Luchuan's key elephant soldiers and what Si Lunfa was thinking.

Wang Jingxuan, who was sitting below him, frowned more and more, and spoke in a deep voice:
"Lord Lu, did you get this information from Hanba?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Yunzhou's eyes lit up.

There is also a Hanba imprisoned in the Dusi. Perhaps we can find some clues from him.

Lu Yunyi shook his head:
"I have also asked about the Jingdong war.

But Hanba only explained the matter of Pingshan'ao.
He did not say a word about where the majority of Luchuan would attack.

This is also one of the reasons why I judged that Luchuan would attack Dali.

If Luchuan had no intentions towards Dali, why would he send Hanba to Jinchiwei?"

After these words were spoken, Su Yunzhou's expression was filled with surprise and doubt, and he kept thinking rapidly in his mind.

In the Ming Dynasty, it depends on whether the imperial court attaches importance to a place.
Often, it can be judged by the people sent by the court.

Just as the four kings guarding the northern border are all the legitimate sons of the current emperor, it is enough to prove the importance the court attaches to the northern border.

There is no reason why Luchuan should not be like this.

In this case, does Luchuan really want to attack Dali?
Su Yunzhou hesitated for a moment, but Wang Jingxuan spoke in a resounding voice:
"I still stand by what I said before. Luchuan will cross the river and attack Chuxiong."

Su Yunzhou frowned. Although Wang Jingxuan was the deputy commander of the command room,

But he controlled many secret agents, including Luchuan, and information was continuously reported to him.

Thinking of this, Su Yunzhou showed determination and spoke in a deep voice:
"Lord Mu, I still believe that Luchuan will attack Chuxiong."

Hearing this, Xiping Hou Mu Ying nodded and looked at everyone present.
Except for Sima Xu, who had no military duties,
Of the remaining five, three thought it was Chuxiong and two thought it was Dali.

The answer was already clear, Mu Ying spoke in a deep voice:
"That's it. Send a message to Ning Zheng and the troops in Chuxiong to take precautions and be ready for a decisive battle at any time.

The remaining 5,000 cavalrymen from Dali were also transferred back to Chuxiong for garrison!"

Su Yunzhou and Wang Jingxuan smiled triumphantly and bowed to their superiors.

"Yes!"

Mu Ying looked at Li Jinglong:
"Dali cannot be neglected either. The troops in Beijing must be on high alert.

Waiting for the construction of Pingshan'ao to be completed,

Then transfer the Dragon Tiger Guard and the Hongfu Guard to Dingbian to guard against Luchuan in the south."

"Yes!"

Li Jinglong was a little discouraged and sighed secretly.

Mu Ying then looked at Lu Yunyi and said in a deep voice:
“After being reinstated in the afternoon, he quickly assembled his troops and headed for Dali.

As mentioned before, we will start from Youyu tribe and enter Luchuan to find out the truth.
If the 50,000 Luchuan soldiers are just for show, then there is no need to be polite and we should defeat them in one fell swoop.
It's up to you how to do it.

But remember, don't be too greedy.

After the cavalry was transferred away, your troop was the only one that could maneuver.
If something happens to you, Dali will be in a passive position."

Lu Yunyi was not surprised by this result. He looked calm and cupped his hands:
"Yes!"

"Okay, go your separate ways."

The group hurriedly walked out of the Military Command Office.
Li Jinglong and Lu Yunyi walked side by side, with joy that was difficult to conceal on their faces.

Chirping non-stop,
It seems like he wants to tell you everything that happened in these days.

Lu Yunyi also had a smile on his face and nodded from time to time.

This scene shocked Chen Shuhan who was waiting at the gate of the Dusi.

Those who don’t know would think that Lu Yunyi is Duke Cao.

At this time, Li Jinglong also saw Chen Shuhan standing at the door, his eyes lit up,
He quickly walked over and introduced Lu Yunyi:
"Yun Yi, this is the deputy commander Chen Shuhan, one of us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuhan felt as if he was melting into heaven.

He quickly cupped his hands, showing respect:

As he spoke, Chen Shuhan bowed towards Lu Yunyi:
"Your humble servant Chen Shuhan greets General Lu.
General Lu's name is now known all over the country, and I have heard of it a long time ago."

Lu Yunyi looked him up and down.
Although he is over 30 years old, he looks very young.

He just seemed a little reserved and a little uneasy.

Thinking of his bad idea, Lu Yunyi's face turned strange.
But he still smiled and went forward to help him up:

"Master Chen, I have long heard of your great name. You and I don't have to be polite."

Chen Shuhan's face flushed instantly, and he was very excited.
In the past, those powerful generals would never be so polite to him, but would instead speak coldly to him.

Today's feeling,

It made him feel once again that hard work is not as good as holding on to others.

"Hahaha, very good, very good."

Li Jinglong, who was standing by, laughed out loud when he saw how harmonious the two were.
He looked at Chen Shuhan and said with a smile:

"Although I didn't get the chance to lead the troops this time,
But at least he can be responsible for the defense of Kunming City.
Sir Chen needs to learn more about mobilizing and commanding troops to prepare for future battles!"

Chen Shuhan felt a little ecstatic after hearing these words, and immediately bowed with excitement:
"I have never been in such a situation before. Thank you, Eunuch Cao, for promoting me."

Li Jinglong smiled and waved his hand:

"Okay, go get busy first, we have to go back to the army."

"Yes!"

After Chen Shuhan left, the smile on Li Jinglong's face gradually faded, and he turned to look at Lu Yunyi:
"He is the descendant of a loyal hero, although his brain is not very bright.
But Yun Yi still has to bear with some of his cleverness. "

Lu Yunyi smiled and said:
"Duke Cao is overthinking. Although Lord Chen made a stupid move, it is not completely useless.
You have to give him some opportunities to hone his skills. Who knows, he might become a great general under Duke Cao in the future."

After hearing this, Li Jinglong was completely relieved:

“Now that you say that, I feel relieved.

Yun Yi, you don't know.

I have learned a lot in the army these days, and I am ready to fight.
Finally, I got news from Luchuan.

This time when I go to Dali, I will definitely show my talents and make great achievements! "

Having said that, Li Jinglong still showed some hesitation:
"I just don't know when I will be able to take charge of my own affairs.
If Yun Yi doesn't come back, I don't know what to do."

"There is always a first time for marching and fighting. You will get used to it slowly."

"You're right, but it's a pity that Uncle Mu didn't focus on the Dali defense line this time."

Li Jinglong sighed and spoke softly:
"Yun Yi, don't blame Uncle Mu for this.

Now Chuxiong Prefecture is stationed with elite soldiers from Yunnan Province.

The Beijing army was stationed in several important cities of Dali.
The choice has already been made.”

Hearing this, Lu Yunyi looked at Li Jinglong in surprise.

I didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few days, he could understand the situation.

Noticing his gaze, Li Jinglong straightened his neck like a proud rooster.

Lu Yunyi smiled happily and spoke loudly:
"When a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes. Yun Yi admires him!"

"Hahaha."

Li Jinglong also laughed heartily.
He walked to the side of the warhorse, jumped on it lightly, and waved his hand:
"Yun Yi, go to the military camp. The brothers are waiting for you."

As he spoke, Li Jinglong took the lead in urging his warhorse to head towards the military camp, while at the same time he let out a hearty laugh and shouted:
"We are going to make great achievements!"
