Chapter 991 Opportunity is at hand
Asano and two followers obtained a tent.
The two attendants consciously slept in the place next to the curtain, and gave up half of the territory to Asano.
Spring is still a bit cold, and Asano just takes off his coat and lies down at night.
The tent was pitch black, and Asano heard the sound of careful and deep breathing, with a little intoxication.
She frowned slightly, and the voice that used to make her proud now became disgusting.
She hasn't showered in two months and feels bad about her body odor.
But those two Japanese were still intoxicated.
What about the Japanese society?
Asano opened his eyes and thought.
She thought of Asuka.
There are temples, endless forests and hills.
When I was a child, my mother liked to take her to play in the forest, watching her run in it with a smile. When she felt that no one was screaming behind her, her mother would appear quietly and startle her.
Those were the years she will never forget.
my mother.
A man came to the house, his father respectfully saluted and asked his mother to accompany him.
That night she was next door, heard panting, and heard her mother's screams...
On the second day, the father sent the man and his followers out with a flattering smile.
After that, she never saw her mother again. She asked her father, and his father said that her mother had gone to her natal family and would never come back.
She quietly went to that room.
She carefully lifted the mat.
Black blood splattered below.
Father has since gone on to prosper.
But she doesn't like it.
She was still running in the bird's forest, but the guards behind her followed closely, and no one dared to scare her.
I am not happy!
She longs to be like a man.
To this end, she worked hard to learn all the knowledge she could learn.
Includes the means of killing.
but!
If Wa Kingdom is destroyed, everything she has will be in vain.
Her knowledge is just a joke in Datang.
"Waguo..."
…
The army keeps advancing.
The scouts came and went frequently, bringing news of the enemy's attack.
"One hundred thousand troops!"
Asano was secretly happy.
One hundred thousand against twenty thousand.
She knew that Tang Jun didn't carry much food and grass.
"keep going."
Jia Ping'an was not moved at all.
Asano said: "We must defeat them as soon as possible."
This is an inevitable option, otherwise, once the food runs out, the army will become fish on the chopping board.
Everyone knows this truth.
"Quicker."
Jia Pingan complied with everyone's aspirations and accelerated the march.
"Don't worry, Tsushima Island is now a transit point for food and personnel. Food and grass are continuously transported ashore through Tsushima Island, and then the convoy will bring the food and grass. Everything is settled."
Cui Jian vowed.
He touched his eyes subconsciously.
Fortunately, there should be no black and blue.
The position of Chang Shi is not easy, but you can let your subordinates do the hard work and just take charge of it yourself.
But Cui Jian didn't.
He has been worrying since the departure. He is in charge of everything from food and grass to downsizing due to illness.
After the army landed, he had more things to do, such as injuries, weapons, food and grass... especially food and grass, he would ask about it every day, and calculate the follow-up consumption of the army...
He didn't notice that there were a few more gray hairs on his sideburns.
But Li Jingye's stick reminded him.
"Cui Changshi, you actually have gray hair?"
"Yeah?"
Cui Jian stroked his long hair from the sideburns and took a look, sure enough.
He laughed at himself, "I'm getting old."
But he is only in his thirties but less than forty years old.
His father left early, and his mother was in poor health. Then it was his uncle who raised him. Speaking of nurturing, there should be no private wealth in the family, and a lot of floating wealth in his family belongs to the clan, so the money and food are all given by the clan.
Reading is reading in the clan.
Without his father, he is taciturn, not daring to offend those whose father and grandfather are powerful in the clan.
Mother's health is not good, and she doesn't say how important studies are, but just tells him... Saburo, if you want to change all this, you must study hard.
He did.
Followed by the imperial examination.
Mother was already dying of illness before his imperial examination, but she smiled and said that she would have a good meal after he passed the imperial examination.
Ever since Cui Jian could remember, he had never seen his mother drink alcohol.
He swears that he will win the election.
He swears to win!
On the way to Chang'an, he learned every stitch.
He could read on horseback, for which he almost fell off a cliff twice, and the accompanying officials and examinees all knew that there was a foolish Cui Sanlang.
After arriving at the residence, others washed and went to bed early, so he took the book to the yard and read it by the moonlight... Occasionally, when it was cloudy, he went to rub it, and shamelessly went to the official room with candles to rub the light.
Officials insinuated that Cui Shizi didn't even have money to buy candles?
He just smiled.
As long as you can catch it, he doesn't care about anything else.
After the imperial examination, he anxiously waited for the news.
When the rankings were released, he pushed forward in the crowd. Some people shouted and cursed when they were annoyed by him, and were about to make a move, but seeing his red eyes, they finally chose to give way.
When Cui Jian saw the names on the list, he turned and ran.
He went to write a letter.
He announced the good news to his mother in the letter, saying that he would take leave later and go back.
After the procedure was over, he hurried home.
What caught my eye was the whiteness of that room.
"Your mother received your letter..."
A Niang left with a smile on hearing the good news that he had passed the imperial examination.
Before he left, A Niang kept thinking about him.
Saburo... Saburo...
At that moment, Cui Jian knelt in front of his mother's couch in silence, tears streaming down his face.
From then on he knew he had lost his asylum.
The resources of the family are not unlimited, and must be concentrated on the most outstanding children.
His parents are gone, so there is no one to fight for him, no one to speak for him.
So he has been an official in the local area.
After struggling all the way to Chang'an City and entering the Ministry of Officials, he felt that his future was bright.
But since then he has not moved.
He has worked hard by himself for many years and has experienced many things. He is not stupid.
The family and the gentry all need his help in this position, so he can only stay still.
He also felt aggrieved, but he didn't say anything.
What did you say?
No one in the family speaks for you, the more you speak, the more the elders hate you.
The family has helped him from time to time over the years. These are kindness, so he can only work hard in silence.
But Jia Ping'an's expropriation order gave him a chance.
Cui Jian knew that opportunities are rare since he was a child. He looked at the elders in the clan eagerly. Although his chances of getting opportunities were smaller than others, he was also satisfied.
Don't waste the opportunity!
Cui Jian is well aware of this truth.
This is responsible for myself and Xiao Jia.
So he thought hard, wishing he could learn the technique of avatar, manage everything in the army, distribute it well, and coordinate it well.
The army camped in the afternoon, and Cui Jian went to check the luggage in person.
Grain, grass, arrows and other things are piled up on the cart.
"There are many?"
Under the setting sun, Cui Jian looked solemn when he heard the answer, and then went to look for Jia Pingan.
"Ten days."
"enough."
Jia Pingan pointed to the map and analyzed; "The enemy army is only three days away from our army."
"Following supplies will come, but I am worried that the enemy will make a surprise attack... One hundred thousand troops, here is the enemy's place again, they are familiar with the terrain and know where there is a road..."
Liu Rengui frowned and looked at the map, "You must be careful."
"I know."
Jia Ping'an looked calm.
Immediately came the battalion tour.
At this moment, there are bonfires everywhere in the camp, and the water carts come and go in an endless stream.
"How about eating less?"
Cui Jian proposed.
Jia Pingan shook his head slightly. He was hungry. When I was in the countryside, I didn’t have enough to eat and didn’t have breakfast, so I went out to herd cattle when it was dark. The hungry children’s chests stuck to their backs, their eyes glowed green, and they stuffed whatever they could eat into their mouths.
At that time, he thought that anyone who brought delicious jerky could deceive him.
So he knows that everything can be saved, but food cannot be saved.
"Just eat."
But after returning home, Jia Pingan still had a headache when he saw Li Jingye eating delicious food in a small bowl.
What's so special about this girl is the wine bag and rice bag!
Jia Ping'an's meals are two cakes, and the dish is pickled vegetables and salty broth.
This salty Jia Pingan wants to curse.
That's all.
He tried to think back to when he was a few years old and dug in other people's sweet potato fields after harvesting.
My cousin is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. There was a small **** at home, and Jia Pingan took it away.
Dig and dig!
But at that time, other people’s families didn’t have any food left! The sweet potatoes in that field were too clean.
But after a while, if you dig again, you will be able to dig some sweet potatoes that are similar to the root system.
These small things made Jia Pingan ecstatic at that time, and then tied the cow to the tree, and found dead branches to make a fire to roast sweet potatoes.
Eating those tiny sweet potatoes...so sweet.
Relying on fantasizing about the little sweet potatoes back then, Jia Pingan ate the biscuits with relish, and even drank the soup comfortably.
"its not right!"
Li Jingye enjoys eating cakes, but he doesn’t drink soup, he just scoops out the meat and pickles in it. Seeing Jia Pingan's fragrant drink, he felt something was wrong.
"Did they make delicious food for brother?"
Li Jingye took a big sip of his soup while Jia Pingan was not paying attention.
"Oh... cough cough cough!"
Li Jingye almost dropped the bowl, "It's so salty, it's unpalatable."
Jia Pingan snatched his own bowl, took a sip happily, and took another mouthful of cake, his eyes narrowed.
At that time, he didn’t dislike anything he ate...No, he didn’t eat konjac tofu, he couldn’t accept the taste and texture.
"Brother, how can you drink such a bad soup?"
Li Jingye admired him very much.
"You will know after a few years of starvation."
At that time, as long as he could get a meal that could be eaten openly, he could eat himself until the food interval (indigestion).
When he was a few years old, he had a record of eating six bowls of rice.
Damn it!
Not a small bowl!
…
There was a lot of movement in the camp of the 100,000 troops.
Most of Banlin's stature is considered outstanding in the Wa Kingdom, and this is one of the reasons why he can rise all the way.
100,000 people, the small town passing by cannot carry them, so most of them camp outside the city.
“I don’t want to enter the city because it’s uncomfortable. I’ll be there wherever the army is.”
Most Banlin looked away from the map, turned around slowly, and the deputy general Tushi Zaixin nodded, "Yes, the general must be with the army. One hundred thousand troops, this is an unprecedented scale, we must be cautious."
Most of Banlin sat in the tent with his waist straight, "Twenty thousand Tang troops went deep into the territory, and their baggage would be transported from afar, but the amount of food and grass that could be carried with the army is impossible... This is our opportunity. "
Master Zai Xin nodded, "So the most important thing for our army is not to fight the Tang army, but to hold them back and take advantage of our army's familiarity with the terrain to cut off their food roads. Under the threat of food shortages, Jia Pingan will inevitably choose Strike, so we can wait our time in leisure."
"That's it."
After a long silence, most of Ban Lin suddenly said: "Jia Pingan shined so brilliantly in the battle of Liaodong, even the emperor was a little uncomfortable when he mentioned this person. We must be cautious, but not too cautious."
"This person is cunning." After the defeat of Liaodong, the Wa Kingdom had a comprehensive understanding of Jia Ping'an. Unfortunately, the knowledge was not comprehensive, but it was enough for Tushi Zaixin to analyze the chief executive.
"The generals of the Tang Dynasty mostly used troops directly, relying on the strength of the Tang army. But Jia Ping'an was different. This man used troops cunningly. At the beginning, the 100,000 coalition army was mighty, but he was completely burned by him. This shows that this person used troops. vicious and cunning."
"But he is short of food and grass!"
Most Banlin held the handle of the knife, his face was uncertain in the candlelight, "We must kill this person in this battle to boost morale!"
…
Li Jingye didn't give up. He drank the soup for breakfast in the early morning of the second day. He found it very unpleasant, so he squatted and watched Jia Pingan eat.
A mouthful of cake comes with a mouthful of soup, comfort!
Impressed!
Li Jingye cupped his hands silently, holding a few cakes in one hand and a soup bowl in the other, slipped to the other side, and ate with Liu Rengui.
Liu Rengui was also not used to this soup, but Li Jingye said: "Deputy Chief Manager, you don't like soup either?"
This can’t be said, it will affect morale... So Liu Rengui always wants to kill all the cooks in the army to sacrifice to heaven.
He smiled slightly, "I like it very much, I just drink it when it's cold."
The generals beside him all nodded in admiration.
Those who can endure hardships together are good brothers.
Liu Rengui was going to eat the meat later, but poured out the soup.
He ate slowly, wanting to grind everyone away so he could pour the soup.
Li Jingye felt that Liu Rengui had the same hobbies as his elder brother, and he liked this kind of strange soup, so he looked at him eagerly.
"Deputy Chief, the soup is cold."
The old man owes you money?
Liu Rengui laughed, "The old man has a sore in his mouth recently, so he needs to drink it colder."
Hurry up and go!
But Li Jingye still didn't leave after eating, so he squatted beside him, reaching out to touch the soup bowl, "It's cold, my hands are freezing."
Lao Liu’s cakes are also finished...
He looked left and right, and for the first time in his life wanted to beat someone to death.
"You drink."
Li Jingye watched eagerly.
Li Jingye is interested in anyone who can treat suffering as enjoyment... For example, the last time I met a man with a thigh injury in a brothel.
Your thigh is hurt and you can't move, can you?
Besides, others will hurt you if you move, but the man still entered the room, and his screams came later, but he called out frequently: Cool! hurry up!
Such people are heroes!
Today, Li Jingye has half a hero in his heart.
Liu Rengui gulped down his breath.
"ah!"
When he put down the bowl, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Li Jingye stood up.
get out!
Liu Rengui really can't stand this Tie Hanhan.
"I'll come for dinner." Li Jingye patted his **** and left.
Liu Rengui: "..."
The scouts came back faster and faster.
"The enemy is forty miles away."
"Thirty miles!"
"Twenty miles!"
"The enemy army is encamped and is cutting down trees."
"They are building a camp."
A camp is a camp, and a camp is a dense tent area. A camp is a camp, and the defense capability of a camp is much higher than that of a camp.
"This is to stick to it!"
Liu Rengui's face was sullen, "There is no doubt that the Japanese army has seen the dilemma of our army's lack of food and grass."
"Beware of grain roads."
Pei Xingjian spoke slowly, "Our army only has more than 20,000 people. If we want to protect the grain roads, we must divide our troops. Once we divide our troops, the enemy will have an opportunity."
This is the shortcoming of insufficient troops.
Jia Ping'an looked at Cheng Wuting.
Cheng Wu straightened up, "Chief Manager, I think the grain road is dangerous."
"Wang Fangyi!"
Jia Pingan called the names one by one.
These names will shine on the borders of Datang in the future, becoming the generals who guard the territory of Datang.
Wang Fangyi's short stature, coupled with that face, gave people an extremely stable and reliable feeling.
And Cheng Wu is very brave and good at fighting. If he can be smarter, it goes without saying that he will become the next Su Dingfang in the future. But this guy got involved in politics, got involved in the political vortex, and was finally killed by Wu Mei, and also implicated Wang Fangyi.
As for Pei Xingjian, he has since become a rare famous general in the Tang Dynasty who can suppress one side.
Now that these three are all working under Jia Pingan's command, Jia Pingan feels that there are stars in front of him.
Wang Fangyi stood up, Xu Xiaoyu stood behind Jia Ping'an, and keenly discovered that Wang Fangyi's respect and sincerity towards Mr. Wang was much more sincere.
"Maintenance of the grain road will be very difficult, and the lower officials thought it would be a blow with all their strength... Otherwise, once they are caught in the maintenance of the grain road, the enemy will be able to continuously mobilize our troops..."
Jia Pingan nodded, "Pei Xingjian."
Pei Xingjian hasn't been doing well recently, but he didn't expect a civil servant to be recruited to command an army. Isn't this girl too dreamy?
He knew that Jia Ping'an was only working hard, so he was very grateful.
"I thought it would be done on the spur of the moment."
Liu Rengui snorted a little dissatisfied, thinking that Pei Xingjian was playing tricks.
Jia Pingan smiled, "It's all good."
After the generals left later, Liu Rengui said dissatisfiedly: "The others are fine, Pei Xingjian is a little cautious in his words and deeds."
Jia Pingan smiled and said, "You don't know, Old Liu, but he is confident."
"confidence?"
Liu Rengui frowned, "How confident is he?"
Because you don't know how powerful Pei Xingjian is!
Jia Pingan smiled and did not explain.
On the second day, the scouts attacked.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The scouts on both sides broke out in a big battle.
The crossbow arrows of the Tang army played a huge role, and they moved first, and then used the horizontal knife to teach the Japanese to be human.
But the ants killed the elephants too much, so Tang Jun could only retreat in the end.
"The enemy is holding their camp."
This is the latest news.
At this moment, the Tang army has approached within ten miles of the enemy camp.
"Camp camp."
Jia Pingan did not hesitate.
The two armies faced off ten miles apart.
…
"Jia Ping'an is here."
Most Banlin looked at the generals, and said in a deep voice, "The opportunity is here!"
He drew out his long knife and slashed, almost cutting off the case in front of him.
He got up and shouted: "Your Majesty is watching us. The rise and fall of the Wa Kingdom is based on one action. The family's prosperity and wealth are defeated. I will die in the battle to repay Your Majesty's kindness, and you wait... The family members will become slaves."
The generals stood up, "Take orders!"
A little while later an army left the camp and disappeared into the jungle from behind.
Most Banlin looked at the place where they disappeared, and said confidently: "This battle must be won!"
