Chapter 683 Loyal Minister Lu Wenlun
Chapter 683 Loyal Minister Lu Wenlun
"what?"
Prince Yi Yi was shocked when he received messages from the two commander-in-chiefs of Taikou County and Fengshan County asking for help.
"Have the Han thieves taken the initiative to attack our army?"
"Am I right?"
The person who sent the message trembled and said: "Your Majesty, you are right. The Han bandits sent tens of thousands of troops and besieged Taikou County and Fengshan County."
"The two generals immediately sent a request for help to the surrounding friendly forces, but several generals believed that the matter was very important, so they did not dare to act rashly."
"For this reason, this letter for help was forwarded here!"
These two messengers were the defenders of Taikou County and Fengshan County. They ran out with letters asking for help before the Han army was completely surrounded.
Prince Yi Yi looked at the letter in his hand and then at the two messengers. Then he was sure that the news was true and asked:
"When did the Han thieves attack?"
The messenger said: "The day before yesterday afternoon, the generals found out and immediately sent us out. After we arrived at the camps of several generals, the generals immediately sent us to you."
"The generals said that they have begun preparing to mobilize reinforcements and are waiting for your order!"
Prince Yi Yi nodded, then turned to look at Lu Wenlun.
"Admiral, what do you think?"
Lu Wenlun looked very solemn: "The news should be true. We should send troops to rescue immediately."
"It's just that I don't think we should send out a large army. We actually don't know much about the Han thieves, and we don't know much about their siege capabilities. Therefore, the first batch of troops should be mainly composed of a small number of elite soldiers, and the number does not need to be too large. , two thousand total troops is enough.”
"This can not only ensure the stability of the defense, but also provide quick support."
"Not only that, as long as Taikou County and Fengshan County are stabilized and the enemy's situation is clear, we can choose to deploy more troops to encircle and suppress them."
"If we rashly dispatch a large number of troops for support, I'm afraid that the Han thieves will make a false shot and attack our army from other places, which will cause our army to lose its footing."
Prince Yi Yi nodded upon hearing this, "Admiral Lu is indeed very mature and prudent. This strategy can indeed ensure the stability of our army."
"But, Mr. Lu, you may have forgotten that we are officers and soldiers, with 15 soldiers. We are just bandits. If we are so timid, wouldn't it make people laugh at our generosity?"
"If we say this, it will make people think that the imperial court is so cowardly that even mere thieves can bully us!"
Lu Wenlun: "......"
Isn’t it true that the imperial court is cowardly?
Is it still necessary to make people think that?
But naturally he would not say it, and Prince Yi Yi continued:
"So we have to dispatch a large army and annihilate the Han thieves in one fell swoop with the power of thunder. Only in this way can we deter the White Lotus Demon who is ready to make a move."
"You have to understand that the Han bandits across from us are only half a state away. How many troops can we pull out?"
"Don't listen to their propaganda about mobilizing 50 troops. No one knows how much water there is."
"Besides, even if the Han thieves pull out an army of 50, my 15 soldiers can easily sweep them away with just this rabble!"
Lu Wenlun frowned when he heard this: "Your Majesty, I still think it's better to be more cautious. After all, the former Jiangnan camp was defeated by the Han army. I'm really worried."
"Besides, during the spring plowing period, our army's deployments in Jiangzhou and Fuzhou are always destroyed. Our military strength cannot be underestimated!"
Prince Yi Yi was very happy. People like Lu Wenlun were simply good officials who were loyal to the emperor and the country.
Just like what Lu Wenlun said, doesn't he know?
No, he knows.
You don't need to think about this kind of thing to know that the rebels don't have an elite force in their hands.
Moreover, he had already found out that this elite group only numbered more than 3 people and was divided into two troops. Even if the combat effectiveness was strong, how strong could it be?
In comparison, he knew that there was a heavy armored battalion of hundreds of people among the Han thieves, which was the biggest threat.
However, as long as he finds this heavy armored battalion, he can completely press his armored battalion to fight.
He firmly believed that the heavy armor battalion of Han thieves would never be able to defeat his armored battalion.
Well, his thoughts were still from before the summer harvest, and the information was from before the autumn harvest. He had no idea what amazing things the Han army could do in half a year.
So he interrupted Lu Wenlun's words. He was a loyal minister, but the colorful land of Jinling City ultimately sapped his ambition.
"Needless to say, I understand your worries, but our army has an absolute advantage. How can we let the rebels overturn the situation?"
Lu Wenlun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
In this regard, Yi Yi ordered.
"Order Jiangzhou Admiral Qian Hanrong to lead [-] elite troops to assist Taikou County, Fuzhou Admiral Zheng Zhiye to lead [-] elite troops to assist Fengshan County, Chuanzhou Admiral Feng Wenfu and Huzhou Admiral Xiang Diaoshang to lead [-] elite troops, and divide the troops into two groups to assist Taikou County. Kou County and Fengshan County.”
"As for Jinling Admiral Lu Wenlun, [-] Jinling troops are stationed in the center just in case."
.................
As for the Han army on the other side, if they accidentally win a battle, they will naturally write a battle report and submit it to the central government, and the same goes for the battle plan.
But because of the order issued by Liu Wu, the [-]rd and [-]th Infantry Divisions did not need to wait for the central government's confirmation and had already launched operations.
In this regard, Liu Wu frowned when he learned the news.
"This is too risky. If [-] soldiers are surrounded, the militiamen at the rear alone will not be enough to rescue them!"
Lu Shu smiled and said, "Brother, I forgot that we still have three infantry brigades and the mountain brigade in Lu Yulin's hands!"
"The four brigades combined have more than 3 people. Even if there is a problem with the [-]th Infantry Division, these troops are enough to rescue them!"
"Besides, our army is so powerful, why do we have to fight so timidly?"
"It's just a siege. It's not a similar city defense battle. Why are you afraid of what he will do? Just fight and it's over!"
"Our Han army has the hearts and minds of the people, and it has unique weapons and equipment. If we still lose, I will go to the battlefield myself!"
Liu Wu looked at the murderous Lu Shu and couldn't help but open his mouth.
Although he is more radical, why does he feel that Lu Shu and others are more radical now?
Suddenly, he felt a lot more stressed.
