Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 124: northern line

Ning Zechen sent a messenger to Huangchuan to inform the Huaidong comprehensive strategy, and since then the whole picture of the Chaishan ambush unfolded in front of Dong Yuan and the people of Huaixi.

At that time, Liu Tingzhou, who was supervising the grain to enter Huangchuan City to join Dong Yuan, stood on the spot and was speechless for a long time.

Dong Yuan sat alone in the quiet room for nearly an hour, and before he came out of the quiet room, without discussing with Liu Tingzhou, he decided to go alone and directly asked the clerk in front of the account to record his order: "Guangshan, Xixian Zhucheng When the order was received, the entire army was immediately mobilized, and all the troops, horses and civilians were dispatched along the Shiyan River to advance to the villages on the east line of the Suizhou Army in the upper reaches of the Shiyan River. On both sides of the upper reaches, Pingchang, Shangliang, Yuehe villages at the west foot of Tongbai Mountain, and Gaoliangdian Yuan Guizheng Department, except for Xiao Kuian who led the Zhengyang defenders to monitor the enemies of Queshan, the rest all gave up their current defenses and immediately followed The Guzhu River went south and attacked the western defense line of the Suizhou Army at the intersection of Tongbai Mountain and Huaishan Mountain, and Xiao Kuian led his headquarters to Zhengyang and other cities on the north bank of the Huaihe River..."

Wang Mu, who joined the army in the Huaixi Camp Recording Office, wrote down the military order in hundreds of words. He picked up the pen and paper to read it again, corrected errors and omissions, and showed the draft of the general order to Dong Yuan for review; Dong Yuan was speechless after reading it and handed it to Liu Tingzhou. : "Tingzhou, how are you looking at it?"

Although Liu Tingzhou had not been able to fully digest the fact that Huaidong's troops stationed in Luzhou had sneaked into the hinterland of Jingxiang and took Fancheng on the 18th night - the battle of Jingxiang could be expected soon, and General Dong Yuan could make it in time. All the troops and horses were mobilized and pressed to the northern foot of Huaishan Mountain, whether it was to expand the victory or compete for the victory, Liu Tingzhou subconsciously didn't feel any problem.

Liu Tingzhou took over the manuscript drafted by Wang Mu. He also saw some mistakes and omissions in the text. After reading it, he handed it to Dong Yuan, and said, "The recruiter has been very thoughtful, and the lower official thinks there is nothing inappropriate..."

"Then copy the seal, and send fast chariots to the army to pass orders."

The envoy Dong Yuan threw the manuscript to Wang Mu and other texts to transcribe several copies. He signed the seal in person before the long case, and used the military order to sign it for Liu Tingzhou. Liu Tingzhou had no doubts. He has military power, and he does not have the title of supervising the army. The army orders him to sign it as a deputy, and he does not need to use the official seal. He immediately picks up a pen and ink to sign his name.

Seeing that Dong Yuan did not discuss how the Huaidong Army set up an ambush in Chaishan, Liu Tingzhou saw that it was getting late, and he had to go to see the loading and unloading of the grain, so he left Dong Yuan's tent first.

Pushing the door and leaving, Liu Tingzhou took two steps before realizing that something was wrong. He subconsciously wanted to slap himself twice, but it was done. , smiled wryly, and continued to go to the grain camp...

****************

Que Mountain, west of Tongbai Mountain, is the hinterland of the Central Plains and the throat of Henan and Hubei. There is Que Mountain six miles southeast of the city. Xiao Kuian's department stationed in Zhengyang and Tao Chun's department stationed in the vortex water line in the west.

The news of Chaishan's surprise attack on Fancheng with grain and horses was sent to the Nanyang Zhucheng in the north by the defender Puama, who did not make the problem too serious at that time. After the death of Puama, Fancheng and the entire Qiaodu District in the south of the city were lost, and Fancheng was actually controlled by the Huaidong Army. The directions of Xinye, Nanyang, Biyang, and Wuyang announced the specific enemy situation.

Due to this delay, Chen Zhihu stayed at the Queshan camp until noon on the 20th, when he learned that Fancheng was inadvertently lost under a sneak attack by 5,000 ambush soldiers in Huaidong.

Gao Yi, who accompanied Chen Zhihu in Queshan, and Leng Zilin, who was in Wuyang, thought that they should send reinforcements directly from Wuyang to Fancheng to join other troops and horses, and then recapture Fancheng and restore the food supply, as requested by Azige. However, Chen Zhihu He dispatched a letter cavalry to ask Leng Zilin to stand still in Wuyang and come to see him at Queshan.

It was 150 miles from Wuyang to Queshan, and it took half a day for Xinqi to gallop back and forth. Leng Zilin arrived at the Queshan camp in the early morning of the 21st.

The campfire in the large camp in Queshan was illuminated by four pictures. Looking at the situation in the camp, it seemed that the mobilization before the battle was in progress. Leng Zilin was not at all puzzled, so he could only go to the big tent to meet Chen Zhihu, the king of Ruzhou.

One hundred and fifty miles away, he ran down without a break. Leng Zilin stepped off his horse and stumbled two horses. Leng Zilin was quite puzzled by Chen Zhihu's decision to stand still, and was very puzzled. Resisting his emotions, he walked into Chen Zhihu's tent, and breathlessly untied his pockets, tore off his placket, and saw that there was a cup of warm tea on the long table. The military situation is in a hurry, and all the cities should speed up to receive letters. The Queshan side was unable to catch up for a while, and I was the only one who led the army from Wuyang. Hu Shuai called me to Queshan to discuss matters. Is there anything that cannot be directly ordered? , at least one day of delay."

"Sit down." Chen Zhihu raised his head and glanced at Leng Zilin, told him to sit down in a calm voice, and continued to stare back at the map.

Leng Zilin asked Chen Zhihu to block it and sat down in a muffled voice.

At this time, Gao Yi pushed open the door and walked in. Leng Zilin looked up and wanted to ask what was going on and what was going on?

Chen Zhihu raised his head and asked Gao Yi, "Have you come back from the horse exploration in Zhengyang? What's going on in Huaixi in Zhengyang..."

"There is still no movement from Xiao Kuian in Zhengyang, but I have sent four hundred cavalry teams around Zhengyang to penetrate the line of Pingchang and Yuehe. Tianliang should be able to respond..." Gao Yi said.

"What happened?" Leng Zilin was at a loss.

"Idiot." Chen Zhihu scolded Leng Zilin disdainfully, but did not intend to explain his confusion, and continued to stare at the map, as if his eyes were about to dig into the map.

Gao Yi came over and explained to Leng Zilin with a low voice, "Master Hu thought that Huaidong's ambush would not be so rough..."

"It won't be so gross, what do you mean," Leng Zilin asked, "Could it be that Huaidong has a backhand behind his sneak attack on Fancheng?"

"Now Gao Zongting is Lin Fu's advisor," Gao Yi said, "It's not like you don't know how powerful Gao Zongting is! Besides, Lin Fu received a red jacket girl in Huaisi. It's not that you haven't seen it before. I also suspect that Huaidong is hiding a more powerful and deadly back-up!"

Leng Zilin froze on the spot, realizing that he really thought too much in Wuyang.

In the 12th year of Chongguan, Liu Miaozhen led the remnants of the Huaiyang Army to almost annihilate them, but Lin Fu used Sun Zhuang, a dark son, to abandon Suyu to open the gap and let Liu Miaozhen flee east-afterwards Lin Fu pretended to cut off Sun Zhuang. A strong general, but the evolution of the next thing is jaw-dropping. Liu Miaozhen not only led the Huaiyang army to Huaidong, but Liu Miaozhen himself also married Lin Fu as a concubine.

I have heard a lot about the allusions of losing my wife and losing soldiers, and I can hear a few happy stories of "getting my wife and getting soldiers".

For Huaidong, it is naturally extremely fun, but Chen Zhihu, Gao Yi, Leng Zilin and others are extremely useless for this - not to mention whether Gao Zongting offered advice behind the acceptance of Liu Miaozhen, but the whole thing shows Huaidong's plan The beauty is the pinnacle.

Huaidong has risen rapidly in recent years, and now he has been entrusted by the emperor to make no ministers, occupying half of the country, and is it easy to give each other?

"What's next?" Leng Zilin asked, "Huidong still has soldiers in ambush in the hinterland of Jingxiang?"

"It's not that there is another issue of ambush, but since the fall of Nanyang, the whole thing has turned into a strategy for Huaidong to lure the enemy deeper..." Chen Zhihu raised his head and said in an unusually hoarse voice. A long scar, obviously extra ferocious under the light, pointed at the map and asked Gao Yi and Leng Zilin to come closer and take a closer look.

Before the map, Chen Zhihu marked the key points he suspected. Outside Fancheng, the next key point in the hinterland of Jingxiang was Suizhou.

Leng Zilin also immediately wanted to understand where the doubts were: since the Huaidong ambush soldiers could disguise themselves as Chaishan soldiers and approach Fancheng without revealing their voices, why didn't they attack Suizhou?

All of this seems to indicate that Huaidong's backhand is enough to storm Suizhou...

Only then did Leng Zilin understand why Hu Shuai ordered four hundred cavalry teams to penetrate the Xinyang hinterland from the Zhengyang line of defense. Change is coming. They sent a cavalry team of 100 people to stab in, and seeing the changes and reactions of Huaixi's troops and horses in Xinyang, they could corroborate their guesses. Doing the strain, although it will only be delayed for a day or two, but everything is too late.

"What if," Leng Zilin asked with a chill down his spine, "if abandoning Nanyang and not helping is really a strategy for Huaidong to lure the enemy, what should we do?"

"Are you afraid again?" Chen Zhihu raised his head and glanced at Leng Zilin, his eyes were like electricity, as if he was about to pierce Leng Zilin's heart.

Leng Zilin avoided Chen Zhihu's lightning-like eyes, shook his face, and said, "Sui Shuaihu has enjoyed the scenery all these years~www.wuxiaspot.com~, so why should you be afraid of death?"

"Master Hu, do you think Dong Yuan will give way?" Gao Yi asked.

"It's hard to say," Chen Zhihu shook and said, "I'll know tomorrow if I ask..."

Hearing Gao Yi and Chen Zhihu discussing the matter of Dong Yuan giving way, Leng Zilin turned his eyes to the map again.

Queshan is located at the foot of Mount Tongbai Mountain, and the south is across Zhengyang County, which is guarded by Xiao Kuian. If Dong Yuan gives way and asks them to pass directly through Zhengyang, they can enter Biyang by taking the valley road at the middle foot of Tongbai Mountain— - This is the most convenient and fastest passage for Queshan troops and horses to enter the Nanyang Basin.

Otherwise, you have to go north along the east foot of Tongbai Mountain, and after Wuyang, go around the west foot of Tongbai Mountain via Fangcheng and go south to the Nanyang Basin, which will take more than 400 miles.

In other words, more than 400 miles is nothing, and it takes only four or five days to march quickly, but at this moment, four or five days is enough to completely decide the battle situation of Jingxiang.

Only then did Leng Zilin understand why when he entered the Queshan camp just now, he saw that the camp was about to start. It turned out that Hu Shuai wanted to lead the main troops of the Queshan camp to directly assist Fancheng, not just send The soldiers and horses went to help at that point in Wuyang.

Leng Zilin worked together with Chen Zhihu and Gao Yi in the tent that night to calculate the battle situation, and when it was almost dawn, a horse came back with further news: "Except for Xiao Kuian who led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend Zhengyang City, there was no movement. Huaixi's troops and horses in the villages at the western foot of Tongbai Mountain are all showing signs of gathering!"

"Okay." Chen Zhihu clenched his fists and frowned as he was about to give orders. Gao Yi Xiaoyi asked: "Commander Hu, what if Dong Yuan's troops were not heading south, but came to the Queshan camp?"

"Then fight it!" Chen Zhihu said, "What's the fear?" My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
