Chapter 107: The Battle of the Two Liaos (1)
On the ninth day of the tenth month, Ding Wei, it was cold.
80,000 Zhenbei army set out from the five towns in the north, the march has been more than a whole month, the first ten days of the march speed is not fast, there is the meaning of the parade, and so the Zhenbei army through Zhuozhou, the marching speed suddenly accelerated, straight to the two Liao, and it is the follow-up troops to accelerate first, the vanguard army to accelerate later, some of the meaning of being driven away. Song Junyi, the general of the Zhenbei Army, summoned the commanders of the various departments to conduct a military meeting on the march that few outsiders attended.
Song Junyi sat firmly in the handsome position at the meeting, all orders were issued by Tang Zongfei, a military counselor, and the generals raised their eyebrows and snorted coldly, and Li Jixuan, the left pioneer who was known for his violent temper, said that he was whispering and muttered like thunder: "An embroidered pillow!"
There was a burst of laughter in the military tent, and everyone nodded yes: "Embroidered pillow, embroidered pillow ......"
Tang Zongfei knew that he smiled slightly at this moment, and it was the best choice to resolve the embarrassment at this time with generosity, and it was also the basic quality that a strategic Confucian general should have, but since he grew up in a wealthy family, and was nurtured by the old lady with a bandit temperament, Young Master Tang was not a person who could swallow his anger, and immediately replied: "Stinky reckless!"
There was a burst of laughter and shouting in the big tent, and the left forward Wei Neng squeezed his eyebrows, and took his shoulder to touch Li Jixuan's shoulder: "Lao Li, he scolded you for being stinky, and to tell the truth, you are not very fragrant." ”
The corners of Song Junyi's eyebrows, who closed his eyes and recuperated, jumped, this kid is becoming more and more like Wu's big head, he is as stinky and shameless, and he refuses to eat at all.
Li Jixuan snorted, and pressed one hand on the knife on his waist: "What, Tang Shenlu, go out and compare?"
Zhang Dabiao, who was standing on the side, had a cold face, pressed on the thick knife at his waist, the blade was three inches out of the sheath, and when he left, he asked him to protect the safety of Song Junyi and Tang Zongfei.
Song Junyi stood up, pressed Zhang Dabiao's knife back into the sheath, glanced at Li Jixuan coldly, and then sat back in the handsome position.
Li Jixuan hurriedly returned the knife to the sheath, and recognized the bear: "General, I'm just joking, don't take it to heart, don't take it to heart." ”
There are two reasons for Li Jixuan's softness, on the one hand, Song Junyi is very powerful, aware of the people's feelings, a general who loves the people like a son, and the whole army of the Zhenbei Army is convinced, and the other reason is that the general loves to hold grudges and wears a lot of small shoes for people in private, which can be seen from the old general and the Huns' scolding.
Song Junyi never opened his eyes: "Today, the tiger talisman is in the hands of Tang Zongfei, and all orders are in charge of Zongfei. Slowly opening his eyes, Song Junyi said to himself: "The military order to behead the public seems to have been abolished by me." Well, let's re-enforce the military order of beheading from today onwards. ”
Song Junyi closed his eyes again, and the big tent was silent.
Tang Zongfei walked to the center of the big tent, and his finger lightly swiped in the air: "Now the 80,000 Zhenbei Army has shrunk its strength to Liangliao, and 100,000 Rouran Iron Cavalry has also rushed to Liangliao, although I don't want to admit it, but this is the case, 100,000 Rouran Iron Cavalry set off ten days later than our army, but the marching speed is two days faster, and now the Rouran Iron Cavalry has stationed troops in Yanmen and sent a few rangers to harass our army." ”
There was a coughing sound in the big tent, covering up the embarrassment and embarrassment, and it was really embarrassing that the Hun barbarians took the lead.
"But fortunately, from the process of this Xiongnu march, it shows that we were too conservative in our assessment of the mobility of the steppe cavalry in the past, and we should take this as a warning in the future, so as not to underestimate the Huns. Tang Zongfei glanced at the people in the big tent and continued: "This time the Zhenbei Army marched to two Liao, preparing to fight with the Hun cavalry head-on!"
The five words of the big corps battle, like throwing boiling water, the whole big tent was full of people, and the excited voices came and went, and the Xiongnu confronted for more than ten years, retreating every year, defending every year, and it was really aggrieved.
Tang Zongfei couldn't help but shake his head, thinking with a wry smile in his heart, a group of professional war maniacs, when they heard that there was a war, they were very happy, but they didn't know how hard it was to invest in military salaries and supply of grain and grass, and before the future Zhenbei Army, he had discussed with Huang Hanting, Hu Hanbin, and Wang Siying in Tai'an City, and he and Hu Hanbin agreed that the three major border passes of the Great Wei were too conservative, Wang Siying was silent, just shook his head, but Huang Hanting, who didn't talk much on weekdays, repeatedly defended: " The imperial court did the right thing, Wu Zhongtang did the right thing, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager did the right thing!" Now that I taste it, he and Hu Hanbin are wrong, and Huang Hanting is right.
"Hey, Tang Shenlu, how do you arrange the troops next?" Li Jixuan, who was still cold-eyed just now, reminded him to fall in, his voice was as soft as a freshly wrapped marshmallow, and he was very flattering.
Tang Zongfei stabilized his mind: "In this large corps battle, all the main forces of the Zhenbei Army attacked, Li Jixuan, Wei Neng, Qin Han, and Wang Ming, each led 10,000 horses, set up a formation in the back of Cangshan, and confronted the Hun cavalry. Yang Si and Duan Yanhao led 10,000 cavalry to enter Yangshan in the northwest of Cangshan, taking advantage of the situation to outflank the rear road of the grassland cavalry, and Zhang Bin led 10,000 horses to ambush the Xiongnu at the mouth of the Great Wall extending to Liangliao, covering Yang Si and Duan Yanhao's 6,000 cavalry. Keep in mind that this 10,000 men and horses are just an ambush, attracting attention, and taking it when they see it, leading the attention of the Huns to the main battlefield in Cangshan, and the remaining men and horses are led by Kong Tao and Lin Zeming, and they are arrayed from the left and right flanks to escort the frontal battlefield. ”
Li Jixuan couldn't help laughing in his heart, facing the battlefield, hehe, head-to-head.
Tang Zongfei took out a few tips and distributed them to the generals: "There are military orders from all the generals in the bags, you must see them when you arrive at the battlefield, remember, remember." ”
The leader of the army walked into the big tent from the back tent, holding nine glasses of wine on the tray in his hand, Tang Zongfei first picked up a cup: "You are not allowed to drink alcohol during the march, today Zong Fei will make an exception, take wine as your practice, and Zong Fei will do it first as a respect!"
After speaking, he raised his head and drank dry, Li Jixuan suddenly felt that Tang Zongfei was so interesting and a lovely young man, he took the bag with one hand, took the wine glass with the other hand and drank it dry, slammed the wine glass on the ground heavily, smashed it instantly, clenched his fists with both hands, laughed, and walked out of the camp quickly.
The other eight generals did the same, smashed their wine glasses, took the bags, and walked out of the tent.
Zhang Dabiao's blood was boiling, if it weren't for Shi Weihan's order, he would have been eager to go to the front line and kill the Hun barbarians, and when he looked at Tang Zongfei, he found that Young Master Tang was staring at the ground in a daze.
"Tang Shenlu?Tang Shenlu?" Zhang Dabiao woke up this young man who was often distracted.
Tang Zongfei came back to his senses: "Wine practice, why did they drop all the wine glasses?"
Zhang Dabiao was stunned and speechless for a while: "Before the march, drinking and breaking glasses is an extremely heroic thing, and every time the villain goes down the mountain when he is in Phoenix Mountain...... This is often the case when it comes to buying and selling. ”
"Oh!" Tang Zongfei, who had read the books of sages all his life and didn't believe in the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, suddenly realized: "I don't feel heroic, I just feel a little stupid, it's a pity to break such a good wine glass!"
