Chapter 204 Clues
He Zudao stood in front of the big case, with a huge map spread out in front of him. Holding a charcoal pen in his hand, he kept making gestures on it, and as he moved Actions, black lines appear on the map, and in the end they all point to the same destination.
Everything was developing according to his expectations, and it could be said to be extremely smooth, but He Zudao was always a little uneasy, as if he had overlooked something.
Intuitively, it seems that some danger is approaching me step by step, but after thinking about it again and again, I can't find any trace.
Palcing back and forth in the room, He Zudao's expression changed.
This intuition of danger seemed unreasonable, but He Zudao did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
There must be some problem there that I have overlooked.
Since it cannot be determined, then assume that he must have it.
"Feng Kuan!" he shouted loudly.
A general from outside came in in response. His extremely ugly face made people shudder at the first sight. It was the almost completely disfigured general who had once confronted Wu De head-on.
"How are the local armed groups organized?" He Zudao asked.
"General, using the weapons, armor, money and food stored by the Liu and Wang families, we have quickly organized an army of tens of thousands of people, mainly the local resistance forces and green forest heroes in Hedong. , But compared with us, the combat effectiveness is still far behind, and the organization is really poor. The officers we sent are struggling to clean up. The most optimistic estimate is that the initial combat effectiveness will be formed in a month!" Feng Kuan said.
"A month later, the Hedong Allied Forces will arrive!" He Zudao walked back to the big case, glanced at the last black line in it, and murmured.
"General, is there anything wrong?" Feng Kuan walked to the case, looked at the map, and said: "Deliberately letting Wu De's men escape to report the news, prompting the coalition forces from Hedong to attack us. Isn't it your strategy to attack and then defeat them in one blow, General?"
"But they came too fast. It seems that they have been preparing for this a long time ago. It's the same thing!" He Zudao shook his head and said, "Is Zhang Quanyi so efficient? When could the Hedong families reach an agreement on something so quickly? I originally thought it would take at least three months for them to argue. Complete the alliance amidst the commotion, and then attack us.”
"Whether it's sooner or later, it will be easy for us to annihilate them!" Feng Kuan said disdainfully: "Judging from the battle with the Liu family and the Wang family, these aristocratic families regard war as too simple. By analogy, the other families in Hedong are afraid that they will not be able to compete on the stage. It is not just a matter of numbers on paper!"
He Zudao shook his head: "I am not worried about the coalition of Hedong families. I'm worried."
What are you worried about? He Zudao couldn't explain why for a while.
"We must step up the training of local armed forces and let them form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Don't be regretful about money. Spread it out when it is time to spend it. From now on, we will not worry about money!" He Zudao ordered. "Send more training personnel over there."
"Yes!" Feng Kuan nodded and said, "General, you want to"
"Our main force, get ready to leave Hedong!" He Zudao suddenly punched the table and made up his mind.
“Leave?” Feng Kuan couldn’t help but be confused for a moment.
The previous agreement was not like this.
As long as they can defeat the Hedong coalition forces, they will be able to completely hold Hedong in their hands and have a piece of territory that truly belongs to them.
Hedong is a great place!
Once you occupy this place, as long as you gain a firm foothold in the coming years, you can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.
Why leave?
"Is the general worried that we can't defeat the Hedong Allied Forces?" Feng Kuan asked reluctantly: "They are just a bunch of chickens and dogs."
"They are not worthy of me. Worry!" He Zudao sneered: "But I always feel that someone else is plotting against us. Although I can't figure out where the problem comes from, as long as we leave Hedong for a while, all the puzzles will be solved!"
“Is it because of this?” Feng Kuan said in shock.
"Close to the river secretly and make all preparations to cross the river." He Zudao's tone left no room for doubt: "When the Hedong coalition's attack begins, our main force will begin to cross the river to the west of the river."
"But the general, if there is no As the main force, we are fighting against the Hedong Allied Forces. These local armed forces that we have just spent a lot of money to organize are unlikely to be the opponents of the Hedong Allied Forces. It would be a pity to sit back and watch them be defeated!" Feng Kuan was a little unwilling, just because of the general. Because of the suspicion, Dajun would give up the food in his mouth. This is really unreasonable.
"Our main force will cross the river and wait and see, but we will also leave some combat personnel to help local armed forces." He Zudao patted Feng Kuan on the shoulder: "At the same time, we will naturally be prepared. If nothing happens, we will kill It's easy to defeat the Hedong coalition forces with a single shot. If something happens, we can also respond to the escaped Hedong local armed forces. By then, our strength will not be weakened, but will only be further strengthened." He pointed his finger along the map! After drawing a few black characters in the frame, He Zudao smiled and said: "And you see, the land inside is so fertile and the pastures are so fresh. The wealth in this area is no less than that in Hedong."
Feng Kuan nodded and said: "Okay, I will make arrangements right away!"
"Remember, keep it secret. Everyone must think that we will fight the other side in Hedong." He Zudao warned.
"Don't worry, General!" Feng Kuan grinned, but his smile was really scary.
"Call Jianren!" He Zudao waved his hand and said.
Chen Jianren is the chief executive of this army and is responsible for all paperwork, external liaison, and intelligence.
Unlike Feng Kuan, Chen Jianren has the appearance of a very elegant scholar, but in fact he is second only to He Zudao among the southern army.
He is responsible for the daily coordination, funding, writing, and intelligence of the army.
"Feng Kuan told me that the general is a little uneasy?" Chen Jianren asked.
He Zudao nodded.
"The general's intuition has saved us many times. Since you are uneasy, it is better to avoid it!" Chen Jianren said: "It is a good idea to cross the river. I will arrange for people to cross the river immediately."
“Pay more attention to the surroundings. If there is something wrong, there will definitely be traces. The geese passing by will leave traces. I don’t believe that anyone can really cover up all traces!”
"Okay, I'm going to put more effort into Taihang Mountain. If there is a problem, then the problem must be somewhere!" Chen Jianren suggested.
"You can make the decision on these matters!" He Zudao waved his hand: "I asked you to come for another matter. I wrote a letter, and you choose a few trustworthy people to come out of the country. Go give it to Linghuye!"
Chen Jianren raised his eyebrows.
He Zudao laughed: "I told Linghuye that if he enters the pass, I, He Zudao, will follow his lead and Gan Yuan will be his pawn. If he has this plan, I can even go to Yangguan. Advance, attack him from both inside and outside, and break the Yang Pass!"
"Ling Huye has really entered the pass, are we really going to be his pawns?" Chen Jianren asked with a smile.
"Who will be the boss? He who has strong soldiers and horses will do it!" He Zudao said with a smile: "If Linghuye's army of 100,000 troops marches into the pass, why not be his pawn? Chasing the world is an extremely long process. Who has the last laugh? You have the best smile, don’t you?”
“If there is chaos in the east and west of the river, Guanzhong will definitely be shocked. When all the heroes in the world see the opportunity, they will definitely swarm up. Linghuye is the strongest among them, but He also has the most ties. If he can really lead an army of 100,000 people into the pass, there is really hope that he will win in the end, but I am not optimistic about him."
"Why?"
"If he. If he was really capable, the Beiting Protectorate would not be transformed into the two Protectorate of An Dong and Anxi, and more than 80% of his troops were from outside the customs. It was hard to say whether he would be willing to give up his homeland and join him in Beiyuan. Of course I want him to leave, but people like Zhang Ruo and Xiao Changche will definitely try their best to prevent him from leaving. It's hard to say how many people he can take with him. He wants to compete for the throne. I really don't think highly of him. "
"I don't care who becomes the emperor, I just want to see the world in chaos, knock down those guys who used to be aloof, and let their noble faces be stained with blood and mud, just like that. I think it’s very interesting, haha!” He Zudao said with a smile.
Chen Jianren walked to the door, but turned back, looked at He Zudao and said: "General, once we cross the Hexi to attack the Hexi area, the imperial edict will no longer be our reliance, and maybe we will again. If we directly declare that we are rebellious, what will happen to the old general in the capital?"
He Zudao's eyebrows jumped and said: "The old man is in his seventies, do you think he can still do it? Do you care about how long you can live? If it comes to the end, he will not give the court any chance to accuse him. I am afraid that what I did is the last thing he wanted to do but couldn't do. I will feel at ease when I leave!"
Chen Jianren lowered his eyelids and said after a while, "Can't the old man leave? He still has a chance to reach the peak of ninth level."
"Where do you think Chang'an is?" He Zudao shook his head and said: "If you can't leave, if you really want to leave, you will only die an ugly death. Since it is all death, naturally you have to leave with dignity without losing dignity."< br>
"One day, we will avenge the old man and the brothers who died in Xiangcheng in vain!" Chen Jianren said viciously.
There was a strong wind outside, and among the flying sand and rocks, there was a sudden click. The high-flying Chinese army flag was broken by the strong wind, and the flag fell from the sky, causing the soldiers to exclaim.
"Dad, have you left already?" He Zudao murmured, grabbing the flying flag.
