Chapter 934: Gifts to Each Other
"So, we must take advantage of the chaos in Jiankang and quickly attack and capture Jiangling!"
Gu Youyi tried her best to appear to be in control of everything.
She was still a little panicked.
After all, in his previous life, although Chen Duan also returned to Jiankang, he did not ascend the throne.
Chen Jing did not abdicate. He held his breath, stood on the city wall, and watched several "loyalist" armies fighting each other.
After a lot of internal strife, Tangquan Palace was in chaos, and Jiankang was also in chaos.
At that time, Gu Qingcheng got the news and, together with Yuwen Heng, led troops to capture Jiangling.
...Now, Chen Duan has become the emperor?
Will Jiankang still be in chaos?
I think so.
Chen Duan is a general under Chen Jing, and so are the other powerful generals.
They all had soldiers and fought their way back to Jiankang.
They are only one step away from the throne.
Gu Youyi felt that they would still fight each other to the death like they did in their previous life.
Jiankang is in chaos, the riverside is empty——
[Chen Duan was also blinded by lust and actually asked Gu Qing to guard Jiangling! ]
[In his previous life, Zhou Shao was the first counselor under the throne of King Liang and was responsible for defending the city. At that time, Gu Qing himself said that Zhou Shao was a rare talent. ]
Gu Qing is a person who doesn't praise others easily.
She thought Zhou Shao was a very capable person and a real talent.
As for Gu Qing, she is indeed smart, but she is a woman after all, and is not good at leading troops in battles.
This was also admitted by Gu Qing himself.
She is not good at fighting, and Zhou Shao is a talented person——
Gu Youyi concluded: "We can definitely take Jiangling!"
Back then, Yuwen Heng was able to defeat Zhou Shao even with Gu Qing.
And this time, Yuwen Heng was well prepared, could he still not beat Gu Qing? "Young Madam is right!"
Advisor A pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, "Jiankang is in chaos, and Jiangling is under guard. We can take this opportunity to send troops!"
As long as they could successfully cross the river and occupy the city, they would be able to march straight in and capture several cities of the Southern Dynasty one after another.
In this way, the young master will have a place to settle down. He can attack Jiankang or retreat back to the border town.
"Young Madam is right, but I think we should still learn more about the situation of the Jiangling garrison."
Counselor B has a different opinion.
It is said that the defense of Jiangling was insufficient, but this is just "speculation" - Chen Duan must have brought more troops when he led the troops to "serve the king".
It is estimated that 70% to 80% of the garrison troops in Jiangling were withdrawn.
All in all, there were only about one or two thousand people left on the other side of the river.
However, these are just estimates.
No one saw it with their own eyes.
Furthermore, even if there are only one or two thousand people, is it really that easy to break through?
Sometimes, even a small number of people can create miracles.
As long as the army's morale is stable and they are determined to fight to the death, one or two thousand people can defend Jiangling.
Absolute military superiority does not necessarily lead to victory.
On the battlefield, there are too many details that can play a decisive role.
Even just an accident or coincidence can reverse the outcome.
When sending troops to attack a city, you must consider all aspects of the situation and not rush forward rashly.
Gu Jia Si Niang's "foreknowledge" is indeed miraculous, but she is a woman after all, how can she know how to march and fight? Strategist C also agreed.
Gu Youyi's face looked a little unhappy.
What did these two people mean by that? They thought she was a woman and couldn't fight? Yes! She had never been to a battlefield and didn't understand military affairs.
But she has experience from her previous life.
Besides, Gu Qing doesn't understand either. Isn't it the case that he relied on his intelligence to assist Yuwen Heng in conquering the Southern Dynasty with overwhelming force? [My father-in-law and my father-in-law trust Gu Qing, why do these counselors also do the same? ]
[In their previous life, they obeyed Gu Qing's orders and never questioned her? ]
Gu Youyi pinched her palms hard. She just didn't believe it. She really couldn't compare to Gu Qing.
However, she was full of resentment and had a lot of confidence, but she didn't know how to refute those who opposed her.
[I am not good at arguing with others, but there are people who are good at it! ]
After taking a quick look around, Gu Youyi set her sights on Jiang Chi, who had been silent the whole time.
"Jiang Sima, what do you think?"
Gu Youyi directly named Jiang Chi, hoping that he could help her refute those timid and ignorant fools.
Jiang Chi: ...How do you watch it? Of course, you sit and watch it.
Although Jiang Chi knew that Gu Youyi was all show and no substance, he still didn't expect that she could be so stupid.
And Yuwen Heng actually allowed Gu Youyi, a woman who knew nothing, to give orders in the general's tent.
Give advice?
Haha, this is really an insult to the word "planning".
Jiang Chi originally wanted to leave, and after seeing this scene, he became even more determined.
The other girl from the Gu family on the other side of the river, although she had "crazy" ambitions, made Jiang Chi feel unusually reliable.
Although he had not seen with his own eyes the "surprise" that Gu Sanniang mentioned, seeing how confident she was, Jiang Chi couldn't help but want to believe her.
At this moment, seeing such a ridiculous scene in the general's tent, Jiang Chi could already foresee the outcome of this war.
Yuwen Heng is bound to lose!
Gu Sanniang, oh no, it’s the lord, since victory is in his grasp, Jiang Chi will follow the agreement and become her disciple.
Having chosen the wise ruler, as a top strategist, Jiang Chi felt that he should present a gift.
Although it is not a big gift, the thought behind it is great and it can always express your feelings.
"I think we can send troops!"
Jiang Chi pondered for a moment, his brain had already worked quickly and made a choice.
He said calmly, "It's not just because Jiankang is in chaos and the riverside guards are empty, but also because the young general has no way to retreat!"
They sent troops with such great fanfare before, did they really think Yuwen Quan was a dead man?
In fact, it's not just Yuwen Quan, but also Yuwen Song, and even Yuwen Heng's biological father, may not really have no grudges against him.
Yuwen Song is the great general.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Yuwen Heng was only a major general.
As for Yuwensong, he has not yet reached the age of "Lian Po is too old", and deep down he probably wants to give it a try.
Having your son be an emperor and having yourself be an emperor are definitely two different concepts.
Even if it was the heir chosen by himself, Yuwensong would first satisfy his desire to be emperor, and then pass the throne to the crown prince after his death.
As for Yuwen Heng, he used the troops assigned to him by Yuwen Song, but instead of helping his father conquer the world, he was eager to become the emperor himself.
Haha, Jiang Chi felt that Yuwensong was already kind enough.
If it were any other tyrant, he would have killed Yuwen Heng, the unfilial son, long ago! But Yuwen Song just let Yuwen Heng do whatever he wanted.
etc!
Perhaps, Yuwen Song knew that such a high-profile Yuwen Heng would arouse Yuwen Quan's fear, and he was waiting for Yuwen Quan to take action.
In this way, Yuwen Song would not have to bear the infamy of killing his son, and he could also let Yuwen Quan and Yuwen Heng consume each other, so that he could benefit as a fisherman!
[Since he cares so much about his reputation, it seems that Yuwen Song really has the ambition to seize the world. ]
If one is only satisfied with being a general leading troops, he would "defile himself" instead of having many concerns.
[Yuwen Heng, there is no way out! ]
Not only had he offended the powerful official, but his own father also wanted to kill him. Tsk tsk, he had no other choice but to cross the river.
Jiang Chi acted like a loyal counselor and explained in detail all the potential crises facing Yuwen Heng.
Huoshui: ...I seem to have figured out that Jiang Chi is setting a trap for Yuwen Heng!
If he was truly loyal, he should have only told Yuwen Heng.
But Jiang Chi refused to do so. He deliberately let everyone know in front of all the counselors and deputy generals that Yuwen Heng had "no way to retreat".
Well, such a desperate situation can indeed make people fight to the death.
But not everyone is Yuwen Heng, and not everyone is willing to take risks with Yuwen Heng.
Especially the deputy generals under Yuwen Heng, and some children from aristocratic families.
Everyone has a family and their own interests.
In the past, they followed Yuwen Heng for his future, not because they were truly loyal to him.
Now, Yuwen Heng is in danger on all sides and is attacked from all sides. Those people may not be willing to be buried with him.
The army's morale is in chaos! Gu Qingcheng received the live broadcast of Huoshui, silently came to the conclusion, and gave Jiang Chi a thumbs up.
“Well done!”
This is a top strategist. He seems loyal, but he is actually murderous.
But Yuwen Heng couldn't blame him.
Why hate him? Not only did he see the lord's crisis one step ahead, he also took the initiative to remind him and made a detailed analysis.
Be smart and loyal, be loyal and have courage.
How many counselors? Yuwen Heng: ...Bullshit! He is not stupid. He may not have seen Jiang Chi's intentions in a short time, but he just felt that something was wrong.
But later, when he led his army across the river, attacked the city, and suffered a disastrous defeat, he found that there was no trace of Jiang Chi and his servant among the fleeing troops, and he understood.
Of course, this is all later.
For now, Yuwen Heng has no other choice as Jiang Chi has pointed out in public that he has no way out.
attack!
Attack! ! Burn your boats and fight to the death.
I just hope he can survive this desperate situation.
Perhaps, the situation on the other side of the river was really as Li Nu said, with only the woman leading the old, weak and disabled soldiers to barely hold on.
Not only did his army far outnumber the enemy, but it also had many years of iron-blooded experience in the northwest battlefield.
The cavalry in the north are inherently more ferocious and powerful than the soldiers in the south.
Coupled with the crushing advantages in terms of numbers and experience, Yuwen Heng felt that he still had a great chance of winning.
"Speaking of which, the reason why our cavalry can be so brave is also due to the contribution of the third wife of the Gu family!"
Wearing armor, standing on a large ship crossing the river, looking at the slowly approaching opposite bank, Yuwen Heng couldn't help but sigh.
The cavalry in the past still had major flaws because of the severe damage to the war horses.
However, the horseshoes made by the Gu family (Gu Sanniang) greatly alleviated the damage to war horses.
The Northern Dynasty's cavalry had almost no weaknesses.
Now, he is leading a large army, and the mark of the horseshoe is about to reach the other side. I wonder how Gu Sanniang in the military camp feels when she sees this scene.
Gu Youyi stood beside Yuwen Heng, and when she heard his sigh, she couldn't help but curl her lips -
[Not only that! Jiang Chi, who came up with the plan, should have belonged to Gu Qing. The plan for this battle was also Gu Qing's plan...]
[And at this moment, all these 'bows and arrows' are aimed at Gu Qing! ]
Alas, it’s such a pity that Gu Qing has no memory of her previous life, otherwise, her mood must be very complicated now.
Gu Qingcheng: ...No, I'm very happy! He is so proactive in giving me the chance to establish my authority and win people's hearts. What a good person!
