Chapter 844: The Potter's Oath
Yong'an City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the hall of the military mansion, the potter held the information in his hand, his sword eyebrows were deep, and there was a raging flame in the eagle's eyes.
In those intelligences, all kinds of evil deeds of the Xianbei people since they bypassed the Jinyang defense line and went south to loot.
In the past ten days, Mao Dun and his Xianbei people ransacked more than 20 villages and killed nearly 5,000 people in Bingzhou.
These 5,000 people, all of them are defenseless, the Xianbei people robbed their grain, robbed their cattle and sheep is not enough, except for the young women, they are all killed.
"Hate-" The potter slapped the silk book information in his hand on the case.
The generals on the left and right, looking at the evil deeds of the Xianbei people, were all resentful, and they all gritted their teeth.
In an indignation, Cao Shen sighed and said: "Since ancient times, I have been in constant trouble in the north of China, first there are the Huns, and now there are Xianbei, these Hulu are like wolves, endlessly invading China to burn and loot, and the people of the state are deeply suffering, which time is not a broken family, but unfortunately, these Beidi are driven away wave after wave, no matter how to kill, they can't be killed." ”
"Can't you finish killing......"
In the mind of the potter, he couldn't help but think of the dark ages that Huaxia Shenzhou had experienced in the original history.
Five Hu chaos, the whole north fell under the iron hooves of the Hu people.
During the Song Dynasty, the north was invaded by powerful Hulu one after another, first the Khitan, then the Jurchen, and finally the Mongol iron cavalry.
After the Ming Dynasty revived the Chinese civilization, it was less than 200 years before it was entered by the Qing army and fell under the iron hooves of barbaric civilization again.
The bloody lessons have proved again and again that the biggest threat to China comes from those nomads outside the Saiwai.
At this time, the emergence of the pottery merchants made the rise of the Great Wei, maybe the Wuhu chaos will no longer appear, the people of this era naturally do not understand the pain of China being conquered by the Beidi, they do not have so much history as a reference, there will not be such advanced vigilance of the pottery merchants.
"Since I know so many bloody lessons, I can't ignore them, and in my lifetime, I must completely solve the alien threat from the north, even if my pottery merchant is gone, even if Huaxia changes dynasties, I will never allow Huaxia to be trampled by the iron hooves of foreign races!"
The potter clenched his fists and solemnly swore a grand vow in his heart.
After making the vow in his heart, the potter's eyes looked at Li Mu, a famous general of the Warring States who he had high hopes for, and asked, "General Li, is everything ready?" ”
Li Mu took a step forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the Xianbei people have been introduced into our preset battlefield, the minister has given Xu Gongming an order to withdraw, and the 40,000 soldiers have also been prepared, and they can fight tomorrow." ”
The potter nodded, brushed his hand and said, "Very good, tomorrow's battle, let the Xianbei people pay the heaviest price for what they do." ”
"The minister will fight with all his might." Li Mu said angrily, but there was a little hesitation in his eyes.
The potter saw his thoughts, and said, "Since there is a decisive battle, you can't fight a decisive battle with doubts, Li Mu, do you have anything to say?" ”
Li Mu was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "The minister does have a little doubt, and I hope Your Majesty will make it clear." ”
The potter waved his hand, motioning for him to ask.
Li Mu said: "This Yong'an City is located in the south of the valley road, and this valley road extends from north to south, according to the normal situation, our army should line up from east to west to meet the enemy from the north, but His Majesty asked the ministers to line up in the north and south, and led the Xianbei people to the east to fight a decisive battle, which made the ministers a little confused. ”
"You don't understand where?" The potter smiled faintly, as if he had expected Li Mu's question.
Li Mu continued: "Although Your Majesty has ordered people to dig a long ditch in the north in advance, to prevent the Xianbei people from copying our side from the north, and forcing them to attack our army from the east, if the decisive battle takes place tomorrow morning, our army will face the east and face the sun. ”
The potter nodded secretly, thinking that Li Mu was worthy of being Li Mu, and he knew everything about every element that determined the outcome of the battlefield, and even the details such as the direction of the sunlight had never been missed.
The potter didn't answer first, but glanced at Liu Ji first, and a meaningful smile flashed in their eyes at the same time.
The potter waved his hand, "Don't worry, I asked you to line up like this, naturally I have my intentions, and there will be unexpected surprises when you think about it, you just have to concentrate on commanding tomorrow's decisive battle." ”
Clearly, the potter doesn't set out to unravel the mystery.
Li Mu had no choice but to be suspicious, and arched his hand: "Since Your Majesty has another mystery, then the minister can only do his best to fight." ”
The potter nodded, stood up slowly, flicked his sleeves, and said angrily: "Tomorrow's battle, let's work together to kill him, and make the Xianbei people pay for their blood debts!" ”
The thunderous roar echoed in the hall, shaking the hearts of every Great Wei minister, and the anger and war intent in their hearts were also ignited in an instant.
"Blood debt and blood payment!"
"Blood debt and blood payment!"
The courtiers leapt to their feet, waving their fists and roaring and shouting, vows of revenge that almost knocked the entire hall over.
Looking at the angry ministers, the potter's eagle eyes shot to the north, and said coldly: "Mao Dun, this time tomorrow is the time when you deeply regret what you have done!" ”
……
North of Yong'an Castle and south of Taniguchi.
At dusk, the Xianbei wolf flag had been planted in the simple camp, Xu Huang rushed to the Xianbei people to kill, received Li Mu's order to retreat, decisively abandoned the camp, leaving an empty camp for the enemy.
The wolf king's flag came like the wind, and Mao Dun stepped into the empty camp surrounded by dozens of horsemen.
Looking around at the empty Wei army camp, Mao Dun's eyes showed a little suspicion.
At this time, Shi Le rushed to the city and arched his hand: "Yu Da Danyu, those herdsmen drove more than 300,000 cattle and sheep, retreated to Yong'an City, ten miles south of the valley, and found 40,000 Wei soldiers in the east of the city. ”
40,000 Wei army foot riders?
Mao Dun's expression moved slightly, and there was a hint of suspicion between his eyebrows, as if he sensed something.
At this time, Ma Chao next to him was busy and said: "Da Danyu, according to the current situation, the Wei army is likely to use the 300,000 cattle and sheep to lure us to chase this valley road, but they laid out 40,000 steps in advance, waiting for work, waiting to deal with us, the pottery thief is scheming, using soldiers like gods, and the big order is very careful." ”
Hearing Ma Chao praise the pottery merchant as "using soldiers like gods", Mao Dun's eyes were a little displeased, but he felt that Ma Chao was reasonable, so he asked again: "Who is in charge of the 40,000 Wei army?" ”
"Back to Da Danyu, the fine work has been heard clearly, and the leader Wei General seems to be called Li Mu."
"Li Mu!?" Hearing this name, Mao Dun's expression moved, and he was suspicious again.
Mao Dun also knows the famous generals of Wei State well, whether it is Huo Qubing in the early years, or the newly rising Luo Cheng and others, Mao Dun has already made their abilities and details clear.
But this name of Li Mu, Mao Dun heard it for the first time.
Of course, Mao Dun knew that during the Warring States period, there was a general named Li Mu of Zhao, and the Huns who fought were frightened and did not dare to invade Zhao for more than ten years.
But even so, this "fake Li Mu" appeared for the first time, which more or less surprised Mao Dun.
"Da Dan Yu, there is a place called the martial arts hall under the command of the pottery thief, there are many strange people and strange people, the original Xiang Yu and Wei Qing and the like, it is from this martial arts hall, these people are all famous generals, but the pottery thief likes to give them the name of the ancient famous general, this Li Mu must not be underestimated." Ma Chao knew that the potters were detailed, and he was busy and stood up to remind him.
Mao Dun groaned for a while, as if he was moved by Ma Chao's reminder.
Na Shile was questioning, and said disapprenously: "The reason why a famous general is a famous general, in addition to his own outstanding talent, must also be tempered by the fire of war, before he can really use soldiers like a god, I don't believe that even if Li Mu is talented, the first time he goes into battle to lead the troops, he can burst out of the strength of a famous general, then he is simply a god." ”
"This-" Ma Chao was gagged at once, not knowing how to explain it.
In fact, he has never figured out why all the martial artists under the command of Tao Shang are geniuses, and they have not been tested by the fire, as long as they appear on the stage, they are all famous generals.
Ma Chao couldn't explain it, and the look of jealousy on Mao Dun's face disappeared a little, and asked, "Where is the pottery merchant, can he be in the enemy army?" ”
"Yu Da Danyu, the imperial banner of the pottery thief has always been in Yong'an City, most likely he only has 40,000 soldiers and horses, and he knows that the odds of victory are insufficient, so he does not dare to risk personally commanding the troops, so he can only retreat in the city." Schler replied.
"Then did the Wei army carry a rainstorm and a crossbow?" Maudon asked again.
Shi Le said unhurriedly: "According to my current reconnaissance, the Wei army should not be equipped with rainstorm crossbows, and there is no Wei army to collect a large number of cultivated cattle, and they should not use the fire ox array, I have secretly reported to monitor the movements of the Wei army, as long as they have the slightest movement, we will immediately detect it." ”
Mao Dun's frowning brows gradually loosened, and a confident sneer rekindled on his hideous face.
He did not underestimate the potters, on the contrary, he also had a considerable fear of the potters, and sent people to understand in detail every case of the potters to break the Huns and the Qiang people, and he has always been wary of the potters' old tricks.
Now I heard that the potters did not personally raise 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the Wei army was not equipped with rainstorm crossbows, nor did there be any sign of using the fire ox array, which naturally made Mao Dun's vigilance greatly reduced.
"Da Danyu, the Wei people also made a big mistake." A sarcastic sneer tugged at the corner of Shiler's mouth.
Mao Dun's eyes lit up and motioned for him to support.
Shi Le sneered: "I would like to think that the Wei army will line up in the north of Yong'an City, but I didn't expect that Li Mu actually camped in the east of Yong'an City, but dug a long ditch in the north, obviously this guy wants to fight with us in the east of the city, this person's strength is only so, what do we have to be afraid of in this battle." ”
"Li Mu is camping in the east of the city?"
Maudun was in good spirits, and then he burst out laughing, full of irony.
He seemed to have seen that in the battle of tomorrow, the Wei army in the north and south, under the dazzling sunlight, had a poor field of vision, and the bow and crossbow could not give full play to their advantages, and they were rushed to a tragic scene by their own iron cavalry.
The laughter burst on, and Mao Dun Mahler waved and sneered: "That kid from the potter didn't use people properly, this Li Mu turned out to be a guy who didn't know how to soldier, and he made such a low-level mistake, this is really God bless me Daxianbei!" Pass the order, tomorrow in the east of Yong'an City and the Wei army decisive battle, this Shan Yu to kill all 40,000 Wei soldiers, kill the pottery merchant deserted and fled, obediently give 300,000 cattle and sheep to this single Yu, haha-"
The sound of confident laughter echoed over the remnants of the camp.
