Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 543, Dilemma!

In the mountains and forests of the southwest, after a heavy rain, it seems to be a bit colder. Scattered green grass on the side of the road was sandwiched between the withered and yellow ground, and a thin layer of frost had formed on the surface.

Not far from the city of He, a group of people quietly ambushed on the hillside, motionless, if you don't look closely, you can hardly see anyone there.

At the back, General Yao Guan, the No. 3 figure of the Sixth Southern Provincial Army, was crouching on the ground with a telescope to observe the situation in the distance.

A man came over with a cat on his waist, leaned over to Yao Guan and said in a low voice, "General, I've been waiting all night, will those people come?"

Yao Guan put down the telescope and said, "Yes."

"But..." They speculated that the team should have passed in front of them at one o'clock in the morning this morning, and now it is six in the morning without even seeing a ghost. Is there something wrong with their intelligence? Or have their actions been discovered?

The weather was so cold that the air from one mouth condensed into white mist.

Yao Guandao: "Those are all newly formed troops less than two months old. Where do you think they can go soon? It rained last night, I'm afraid it delayed the trip. Besides, they are going to Anzheng, no Where else can we go from here?"

The people squatting beside him thought about it and thought it was right, but he couldn't help but sighed, "If they don't come, we will freeze to death." The weather at the end of November is really It was cold. There was obviously no wind in the mountains and forests in the southwest, but it seemed to be colder than the six southern provinces.

It just so happened that it rained last night. No matter how good the logistics of the six southern provinces, it would be unbearable to hide in the rain all night.

Yao Guan was about to speak when a figure came over quickly not far away. As soon as he arrived at Yao Guan's side, his voice hurriedly said, "General, here we come! Five miles ahead!"

Yao Guan's eyes narrowed, and he said solemnly, "The order goes on, the whole army is ready!"

"Yes!"

Twenty minutes later, the vanguard of a team appeared at the end of the mountain road. The soldiers in the six southern provinces, who were ambushed on both sides, could not stand it all night. A low-level commander immediately wanted to order a charge, but was grabbed by the officer beside him and whispered, "What are you doing?"

"Sir, don't fight?" The chief shook his head and said, "Don't fight for now, let them in for a while and wait for the order!"

Somewhat disappointed, but the lower commander held back, so everyone quietly stared at the marching team below, letting them pass under their noses.

The soldiers in the six southern provinces were very uncomfortable, and the army of the Sun family below was not very happy.

They were ordered to move closer to Anzheng. Who knew that a heavy rain fell shortly after departure, so the trip was delayed. Even so, the soldiers who were forced to march in the mud early in the morning were still not very happy.

Just over a month ago, they were all ordinary peasants or urban workers and buddies. They were suddenly recruited into the army for training, and they had to undergo such a forced march before they were even familiar with guns. How could they bear it?

As a result, the entire team was disorganized and the speed was not fast. Some people chatted and complained in the team, and they couldn't go fast without the urging of the superior.

"I don't know what the people above are thinking? What kind of battle is it in the winter?" Someone in the team complained in a low voice.

This remark immediately attracted a lot of echoes, "Isn't it? It's too cold to be huddled at home in this weather, who would come out and run around?"

"That can't be helped, didn't it say above? Someone outside is going to beat our Overseer." They didn't know, just a few months ago, their Overseer ran out to beat others.

"What... the one who goes to the battlefield and wants to die?" Someone couldn't help but whisper.

The others laughed out loud, as if the other had asked a silly question, "Where are the undead in battle?"

"Isn't it? Ergouzi from our village was recruited years ago, and I heard in September that he was gone." The person couldn't help trembling, "But... we, we may die too."

Everyone who was still laughing was silent, yes, others will die and of course they will.

"How about we run away?" Someone asked in a low voice while looking around.

They are all from the same village, so they are not afraid of being betrayed.

The other person gave him a shove and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? See? Those people... they're the ones who execute deserters." People, the guys in those people's hands are obviously different from the guys in their hands that are similar to burning sticks. They have seen it with their own eyes, and that thing can turn people into a sieve in a moment.

The atmosphere became more and more low, and there was a stern urging sound from the commander behind, so the team speeded up a little bit.

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from the rear, and the long marching team was in chaos.

Intensive gunshots came from the hillsides on both sides, and the commander ordered a counterattack in a panic. But the other side occupied the hillsides on both sides condescendingly, and they were directly blocked in the middle of the narrow mountain road. How easy is it to fight back?

If they were elites, they might be able to fight hard, but most of them couldn't even hold their guns steadfastly. As soon as the explosion sounded, many people squatted on the ground with their heads up or hid under a tree by the roadside.

The only remaining people with fighting ability are obviously not the elite opponents of the six southern provinces that have been prepared for a long time.

A battle that lasted less than half an hour ended. Yao Guan led the people down the hillside to check the situation on the battlefield. The officers who were cleaning up the battlefield immediately stepped forward and saluted, "General, it is indeed the new 11th Army. Their team is divided into two, and the other half are ordered to stay in Hecheng. The commander above the regiment captured seventeen people and killed four. Among them... there is the commander of the third division of the newly formed Eleventh Army."

Yao Guan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Dead?"

The other party shook his head quickly, "No, I was captured."

Yao Guanjian nodded, then quickly touched his chin and frowned, "No wonder it's so easy to fight, this is only half of the new army. The half is left to protect us?"

"General, what are we going to do now?" The staff officer who followed Yao Guan whispered, "Although this battle was easy, if the remaining half of the new army were to follow our **** to do things It's very troublesome."

Yao Guan thought for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "In this way, we will also divide our troops into two groups...Old Lu, you take your men to Hecheng, and you must solve the half of the new army in Hecheng for me. It's best to keep it quiet, so that no one will find out that we occupy Hecheng."

People who are called Laolu are a little depressed, "I have less than 10,000 men under my command. Sun Liang's new army is expanding like crazy, and there are at least 20,000 people in half of the army, right?" Still quietly? Sir, are you asking too much?

Yao Guan smiled, "Then I don't care, if you can't even beat these people who have never even fought on the battlefield, and you don't have the face to return to the six southern provinces, then commit suicide to apologize."

Yao Guanyu has always been friendly, and his subordinates are also close to him. Lao Lu just scolded him or raised his hand to salute and took over the task.

Yao Guan was very satisfied and pointed, "If you have any difficulties, you can ask Long Yu's people for help. I remember that he has two brigades and should be near there soon."

"No need!" Lao Lu said with a strong backbone. How could the six southern provinces ask the people in the four northern provinces for help? Doesn't that take away the Overseer's face?

When Lao Lu led the people away, Yao Guan stood beside him and watched his men come and go back and forth to clear the battlefield, while thinking about something thoughtfully.

After a while, the adjutant came over to ask for instructions, "General, what should I do with so many prisoners?" This time there were indeed many prisoners, because many of them simply squatted with their heads on the ground without any resistance.

But it is also a hassle to deal with so many prisoners. It is definitely impossible to kill them all. There have been ominous sayings about killing prisoners since ancient times, and it is even more impossible now. If they really kill these captives who have already been captured, it will be revealed that the six southern provinces can be sprayed into autism by the entire Anxia.

But it's definitely not enough to just let it go. These people will run around and go back to the Sun family to know what they're doing.

Yao Guan narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Bring those high-level commanders to meet me, and I'll chat with them."

"Yes." Although he didn't know what the general wanted to do, the adjutant left immediately.

November 28, the eighth day when the army of the six southern provinces besieged Anzheng and encountered obstacles.

The Sixth Southern Province Army, which had been trying to attack Anzheng City in various ways, suddenly retreated. When the news came back to the Anzheng City headquarters, Guo Huai was staring at the sand table on the table frowning and thinking about something.

Hearing the news of the subordinate's report, Guo Huai's brows not only did not stretch, but they wrinkled even tighter.

The subordinates on his side were puzzled, "General, is there any problem?"

Guo Huai shook his head and said nothing, turning to look at the larger map hanging on the wall.

On the map, several red arrows point to the southwest hinterland from several directions, which is also Sun Liang's base camp - Pengcheng.

Guo Huai stared at the map for a long time before sighing lightly: "This battle... is not easy to fight."

The adjutant around him was puzzled, "General, the current situation is favorable for us." As long as Fu Fengcheng can be held back for a few days, the six southern provinces will be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops. If they can be killed or captured alive The eldest young master of the Fu family, that would definitely shock the entire An Xia, why is the general not excited at all?

Take ten thousand steps back and say that even if Fu Fengcheng were to run away, it would be an amazing record to defeat the coalition forces of the six southern provinces.

Guo Huai said: "Yao Guan in the six southern provinces, Long Yu in the four northern provinces, which one is the fuel-efficient lamp? In addition... this side of the northwest..." Guo Huai's fingers focused on the huge red above the map a few times. Arrow, "During this period of time, the Song family was too quiet, and I always felt that something was not right."

If anyone hates the Sun family the most right now, it must be the Song family. However, since the beginning of the month of the Song Family Chenbing's northwestern border, there have been only a few small fights, and there has been almost no major action, which makes Guo Huai feel a little uneasy.

"Perhaps the Northwest Army and the Dayin people suffered too much damage and still haven't recovered yet? General, Fu Fengcheng has withdrawn now, what should we do?" Not quite understanding the general's worries, the adjutant could only focus on what was most important. question asked.

Guo Huai lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Let him withdraw, and order a brigade outside the city to block it. If they withdraw to the southeast, don't worry about it. If they want to go west, call me back."

The adjutant was stunned for a moment and reminded, "General, what the Overseer means is that we want us to besiege Fu Fengcheng." The general's intention is to let Fu Fengcheng go.

Guo Huai glanced at him and said solemnly, "Fu Fengcheng still has at least 180,000 soldiers and horses, no matter how successful the siege is. If he is allowed to enter the southwest hinterland, there will be Yao Guan on the east and west fronts. With Long Yu and the Song family in the northwest, if we let them meet, how many troops will we have to kill nearly 400,000 troops?"

The adjutant hesitated, "What does the general mean?"

Guo Huai said in a deep voice, "First drive Fu Fengcheng out and strangle Yao Guan and Long Yu with all his strength. As long as these two people are killed, Fu Fengcheng will either continue to retreat and wait for reinforcements. Even if he is allowed in again, there is nothing to worry about."

The lieutenant felt like he was being persuaded, but...

"I'm afraid the Overseer will not agree."

Guo Huai was silent. From the beginning, he did not agree with Sun Dujun's alliance with Dayin people to use troops in the northwest. This kind of thing, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, the Sun family is destined to be discredited.

Unfortunately, Governor Sun never discussed it with him before doing this. He was stationed outside for a long time. When he got the news, the Sun family had already sent troops.

After that, he tried to persuade him a few times, but he was perfunctory after being beaten by Du Jun Sun, and he would not reply to his letter at all if he tried to persuade Du Jun Sun again.

Guo Huai took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I will send a report to the warden personally." I hope warden Sun will listen to his persuasion this time.

Actually, Guo Huai doesn't know what direction the final outcome of this battle will go. What if he wins Fu Fengcheng? It is a fact that the Sun family colluded with the Nile Dayin people. There is still Fu Zheng behind Fu Fengcheng. Even if Fu Zheng is gone, there will still be Long Yue and Song Ye. Who would let the Sun family go?

But what can he do now but hold on? Betray the Sun family and join the Fu family?

Not to mention that his family and children are all in Pengcheng, and Dujun Sun treats him well. If he just betrayed him like this, who can look down on such a person?

"Young Master." Xu Shaoming walked in from the outside and said, "Guo Huai's brigade outside the city is moving to the southwest and seems to want to block our way west."

Fu Fengcheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Guo Huai wants to force us out of the Anzheng area?"

Xu Shaoming nodded and said, "It seems to mean that. Young Master, Guo Huai really let us go so easily?"

Fu Fengcheng smiled lightly, "He didn't let us go, he wanted us to go."

Seeing Xu Shaoming's puzzled face, Fu Fengcheng said, "Once we are squeezed out of Anzheng, General Yao and General Long will be alone in the southwest hinterland. And they are still divided into two groups, if they are outflanked and strangled by the Sun family. , no one can save them."

Xu Shaoming's expression was also solemn when he heard that, "Then..."

Fu Fengcheng shook his head, "Sun Liang will not agree with his plan and continue to move west. If Guo Huai's people want to stop him, he will unplug them first."

Xu Shaoming reminded, "If Guo Huai sends troops to cut off our back road..." Then he really wants to retreat and can't retreat.

Fu Fengcheng said, "Don't worry, just let him cut the way."

"..." I've never seen such a self-defeating play.

Fu Fengcheng frowned at Xu Shaoming, as if a little disappointed.

Leng Sa, who had been sitting beside him with a pistol, raised his head and said, "Adjutant Xu, don't forget... Northwest, Song Family."

Xu Shaoming was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and frowned, "But the war in the northwest has not been smooth during this period of time." For nearly a month, there have been few breakthroughs after several battles, and they are still lingering on the border between the two sides.

Leng Sa blinked and smiled, "How do you know if it's really not going well, or the Song family doesn't want to fight? If the Song family suddenly breaks through the northwest defense line and takes Pengcheng directly at this time, what do you think Sun Liang will do?"

Xu Shaoming said, "Naturally, I ordered all the soldiers and horses to return to Pengcheng." All the soldiers and horses were preparing to besiege Fu Dashao on their way. It's hard to say what would happen when they suddenly received such an order, but I was sure to curse my mother. of.

Xu Shaoming looked at the two of them, but couldn't help but ask: "What if... the Song family still doesn't do it?" value.

"Adjutant Xu, your mind is so gloomy." Leng Sa said with a smile.

"..." I'm talking about human nature.

Fu Fengcheng calmly said, "Zhang Tong's Fifth Army and the reorganized former Jiazhou Army can directly take Yangping in the southwest from Jiazhou within three days. If the Song family really dares not to do it, Zhang Jingzhi will cut off the supplies in the northwest. Jiazhou is still in the hands of the Fu family."

They have indeed planned the future direction of Jiazhou, but at present... Jiazhou is indeed completely in the hands of the Fu family. If the Song family sells allies at this time, it shows that all the previous plans are not feasible, and the Fu family will immediately increase their troops to occupy Jiazhou.

Adjutant Xu is dumbfounded: Well, I think too much. The people in this world who dare to sell Fu Dashao may not have been born yet.

He forgot this, but he believed that Song Governor and Song Shao would never forget it.

What's more, Shao Long and Shao Lou are still in the northwest.

"Understood, my subordinates will do it now." Adjutant Xu said respectfully.
