From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1125

Running away is not a short-term or temporary decision.

Andrei does not think he is a coward. He is very cautious about war and has very strict requirements on his character.

He never runs away because of cowardice and weakness. He is rational. He always relies on wisdom to analyze war, not any other profound things.

"There is only victory or defeat in war, nothing else."

This is his understanding of war, so he does not care about glory or sacrifice.

He believes that when it is time to escape, he must go.

From the initial formulation of the raid plan, going deep into the Liaodong land, and fighting wits and courage with the Jin army, he has already felt that the generals here have extraordinary command art and war strategies. He felt pressure and challenge.

But he is very confident, because he has also encountered many smart opponents in many battles, and without exception, he has won.

Because when the war situation deepens and becomes more complicated, the flaws of a general and an army will gradually emerge.

It's like a math test. Everyone knows the answers to the first two questions, but the final two questions, or the more difficult additional questions, are often the deciding factor.

"In the battle of Guhewei's pursuit and interception, the answers given by Dajin were good. In my mind, they are capable of answering the last two questions well."

Andre's expression was calm as he rode forward.

He whispered, "Because they can divide their forces into small groups, the generals can perform tasks independently, and they can also achieve corresponding tacit understanding, and move closer to the core position of the battle, gradually forming a loose but airtight encirclement, which forced me to go to Meishan."

"Besiege Meishan, but do not attack, but surround and attack the reinforcements, and ambush Gumanyev in the Songhua River. This answer is obviously excellent."

At this point, he laughed again and said slowly: "It's just that they ignored the second reserve team we prepared in advance, and the encirclement was directly torn apart, allowing us to complete the victory meeting."

"We paid the price of tens of thousands of soldiers and won a strategic victory. In the first stage of the war, we were tied."

"This makes me look up to the generals of Dajin even more. After all, we have answered the questions well, and the winner can only be decided in the additional questions."

"Lieutenant Colonel Artyom, war is exciting, especially in this kind of scene, you..."

Andre paused.

His face became gloomy, sighed, and finally sighed slowly.

Artyom was gone, but he had gotten used to having such an assistant.

Now, there was really no one to talk to.

Andrei opened his mouth and wanted a bottle of vodka, but held back.

In his opinion, people who rely on alcohol to vent their emotions are destined to be fragile and have no resilience.

He enjoyed this feeling of sadness, which would make him calmer.

He began to talk to himself.

"We did the right thing! Raid Shenzhou! Go deep into the hinterland! Pay the price of tens of thousands of people! Complete the strategic goal of the first phase of the war!"

"If we follow my method, support Sayihewei, keep an eye on the food and grass of Tashanwei, and steadily survive until winter, until the northwest of Dajin collapses, we will definitely win."

"What a pity! How hateful! Gumanyev is eager to win!"

"He said he didn't bear grudges! He said he wouldn't lose his mind because of humiliation!"

"In fact, he has already lost his mind, he can't wait to win."

"My persistence is meaningless, I can only listen to him, he is the commander-in-chief of the entire coalition, and I am just a colonel of a raiding brigade."

At this point, Andre couldn't help but roar: "This idiot ruined everything! He has no ability to answer the additional questions given by Zhou Yuan!"

Jianzhou, the most important turning point is Jianzhou.

Dajin did too well, fortified the walls and cleared the fields so thoroughly, not a grain of food was left, persisted for two days and nights, and left more than 20,000 prisoners.

What's even more abominable is that the captives were starving for three days.

They consumed a lot of food and wasted time.

They couldn't do without it, otherwise the morale of the army would collapse.

From that time on, Andre knew that he couldn't win this battle.

I was the only general on our side, and the other side had many generals, so this was a losing situation.

So Andre began to ponder the escape plan. He found an opportunity and found the fire of hope in a desperate situation.

"With Goryeo's food and grass, we can hold out for at least twenty days."

"These twenty days are enough to cross the Yalu River and move eastward within the border of Goryeo."

"The intelligence of the Shenque is excellent, but they can't cover the intelligence in Goryeo!"

"Cross the Yalu River to Yizhou, all the way east, through Samjuri, Jiangjie, Huishan Town, Baiyan,Maoshan, Huining, and finally to Zhongcheng. "

At this point, his eyes became sharp, and he said coldly: "Then follow the coastline, go straight to Shuangchengwei, and then flee north as quickly as possible!"

"In the major towns in northern Goryeo, we can continue to get supplies, enough for us to keep going."

He became excited and clenched his fists and said: "Zhou Yuan! Don't think I don't know where you are!"

"Where you can see, I can see it too."

"You are! Harlanchengwei or Tongkuanshanwei!"

"Because Ivan was stationed there in the first phase of the war!"

"You will definitely wait for me there! I won't come! "

……

The pen fell in a storm, and that long line seemed to be engraved into Liu Daguang's soul.

He looked at the map carefully and murmured: "General, your analysis is too thorough. Indeed, in the first stage of the war, the second reserve of the Tsarist Empire was stationed in Tongkuanshan Guard, and waited for the opportunity in Harlan City Guard. Finally, it suddenly appeared, rushed to Meishan and rescued Andre. "

"So, if Andre really wants to escape, he must come here. "

"Because... they have stored food here!"

Zhou Yuan nodded slowly and chuckled: "The second reserve of the Tsarist Empire is 60,000 people. When they were stationed in Tongkuanshan Guard and Harlan City Guard, they had no idea how the war would develop. This means that they didn't know their latent period... If they didn't know the latent period, they would definitely prepare a huge amount of food to meet the needs of the long war. "

"But the first stage of the war was fought too quickly, and they had to rush to Meishan as quickly as possible, which means that the food must not have been transported away. "

"Somewhere in Harlan City Guard and Tongkuanshan Guard, there must be a lot of food hidden. If Andre wants to escape, he must come to get it."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said coldly: "I came here just to wait for him!"

"Then, take his head to commemorate the many soldiers who sacrificed in Jianzhou and Guhe Guard, and the people who died tragically in Shenzhou and Jianzhou."

"He will never think of escaping!"

Liu Fang frowned and said: "Why don't you bring more people? We have more than 40,000 people here. Facing Andre's surprise attack corps, we may not have a chance of winning!"

Zhou Yuan said: "Because I can't guess Gumanyev."

He smiled slowly and said: "For me, it is easier to calculate smart people, but for a fool like Gumanyev, I really don't know where he is going to run. "

"I can only block all the roads such as Mohe, Sayihewei, and Asujiangwei, and then continue to shrink the encirclement to really stop him."

"I want all of them to die, not one of them can survive, do you understand?"

"I want the Tsarist Empire to know the price of invasion, and I want them to never dare to come again."

Liu Fang glared and said, "Gumanyev is also going to run away?"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "At least in my opinion, he doesn't seem to be willing to sacrifice his life for the country."

"Wait, their long escape is about to begin, and soon, it will be our turn to be hunters."
