Chapter 016: Zhenbei Army Goes South (3)
Lin Chengping stepped forward, raised the knife with both hands, his eyes were blood-red, and he was about to slash it with a knife, but the cold knife was raised high, but it didn't fall for a long time: "Forget it, the eldest sister said, no matter what, it's not good to kill people." ”
The cool knife was sheathed, and he looked south, it was Shangjing, and the eldest sister and brothers were there, and he didn't know how he was doing. Thoughts are like wild grasses growing wildly on the grassland, even if they are covered with snow in the cold winter, they grow freely under the heavy snow.
Now Lin Chengping's heart is divided into two halves, half in Shangjing City, half in Tana, all of them miss and can't see each other, but he feels extremely relieved, like a sailboat that has been cruising for many years, and finally found a warm haven after many years of strong winds and waves.
Zhao Feng, who is never afraid of big things, was the first to take the lead in applauding and applauded loudly: "The boss is really heroic, his martial arts are at the peak, he can be called a grandmaster-level figure, those few knives just now are really the pinnacle of swordsmanship, it is wonderful, only the general is missing." ”
flattered and clamored, wearing the flattery of pinching Lin Chengping's shoulders and legs, and getting rid of the dog-legged shape of a big young master going out to slap a horse in front, where is the gas of His Royal Highness.
Da Zhuang didn't understand, but he felt that what Zhao Feng said was very slippery, and there was some truth, so he applauded, and the 10,000 Zhenbei Longxue rode in the distance, and he also took advantage of the situation, applauding loudly, and the sound shook the sky, followed by laughter.
Lin Chengping was embarrassed for a while, he hated Zhao Feng the most, and always made ridiculous moths at certain critical times, Rao Lin Chengping got along with him for several years. I try to get used to his style, but sometimes I still feel "scared".
Sometimes the Longxue riding army in the north of the town is on the vast grassland, and Lin Chengping is riding on a horse. Occasionally, I will wander out of the world, think about the life in Lanzhou, and think about Tana in the distance...... Zhao Feng will always make up a very inappropriate head, hehe smiled and said, Boss, you are thinking about the eldest sister again, or it will be spring. Thinking about Tana's sister-in-law.
A good pastime was ruined and destroyed by Zhao Feng's laughter, and the most unpleasant thing is that Zhao Feng can tell Lin Chengping exactly what he thinks every time.
Lin Chengping kicked over Zhao Feng, who was kneeling on the ground and pinching his legs, and went to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Zhao Feng fell to the ground. Hurriedly climbed a few steps in the direction that Lin Chengping left, stretched out one hand into the air, and shouted loudly: "Boss, boss." Don't forsake me. Don't you abandon me......" The tone was vivid, and her expression was full of tears, and she was able to get rid of the image of a woman who was abandoned by her husband.
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Lin Chengping was busy speeding up his pace, otherwise he would really cut people.
The big tent of the Zhenbei Army is the most peculiar place in the entire Zhenbei Army, and it is also the most bookish place, the general Xiahou Xiangyang loves to read, everyone knows, and loves to read "Spring and Autumn" the most. Since Lin Wan'er's "Stone Record" came out, the general's favorite book has been added. However, Lin Wan'er is lazy and more like eating, and the general can only sigh in silence.
The appearance of the Chinese army's big tent is just a simple camp tent, half of which is full of books, and the guards are not strict, but there are few of them, and no fool in the world will think of assassinating General Xiahou, because the general's martial arts are recognized as invincible.
The general used soldiers like a god, pacified the five major battles of the previous dynasty, Xu Xiao was three and a half, and the general was one and a half, but the general was ten years younger than Xu Xiao, and he was not as defeated as Xu Xiao and won more battles, the general was a real victorious in a hundred battles and never defeated.
However, compared to the use of soldiers, the general's martial arts are more talked about by people, the former dynasty dug the Grand Canal, built the Great Wall, the people are not happy, the general for the world has assassinated the emperor of the previous dynasty, it is rumored that the sword in the hand of the general has been three inches away from the emperor of the previous dynasty, but it is a pity that the nameless swordsman, the great eunuch who is not bad in King Kong joined forces to stop.
Until then, people knew that the Xiahou prince of the Xiahou family in Jiangnan Province was a martial arts master, and later the Xiahou general silenced the relics, some people said that he was seriously injured and died, some people said that he fled overseas, until the Zhao family rose up in Taiyuan, and there was a person who was a blockbuster, and people knew that Xiahou Xiangyang was in Taoguang to raise obscurity.
The second time General Xiahou made a move, it was the former dynasty horse soldier Saint Zheng Chenggong who fought against the Xu family army alone at the barrier, and Xiahou Xiangyang left the front line to go to the barrier to compete with the horses. The general did not hide his breath, a red light went straight to the clouds, Zheng Chenggong looked at it from afar, returned the sword to the sheath, and waited for Xiahou, which is enough to show that the horse master who occupies the world's eight fights attaches great importance to Xiahou Xiangyang.
It's a pity that when Xiahou Xiangyang arrived at the barrier, the horse master had already begged for death from the sky and failed to fight.
The third time the general shot, is after the Suzaku Gate incident, the ten dead soldiers brazenly entered the palace, laid down layers of sky nets, at that time was already in the highly poisonous general dressed in black, holding a knife in front of the Chengqian Palace, closed his eyes to recuperate, the sky net came all over the world, killing opportunities everywhere, but the general only one knife, then let the sky net be broken, all the destruction of the ten dead soldiers, this is the bridge section known to the world.
The world doesn't know that this knife is as continuous as the waves of the sea, castration does not stop, and it goes for thousands of miles, until the Shushan Sword Pavilion thousands of miles away broke the Big Dipper Seven Star Array, cut off eighteen capital luck lotuses, and caused the ten thousand swords of the Sword Mountain to scream.
Since then, the general has rarely made a move, only two shots, one is on the night of the full moon in the capital, in order to paralyze the remnants of the king of the Southern Courtyard who entered the capital to assassinate, and Li Mubai fought at the top of the Forbidden Peak, and once again it was the Sword Pavilion Lord Zhao Jianchen who led ten thousand swords to provoke, and the general made a move to defeat the enemy. In these two few shots, the general showed the world what is truly unparalleled in the world with a victorious attitude.
In addition, the general has never been married in his life, and there are various rumors in the market, one is that the general once loved a certain girl, but for many reasons, it seems that there is a refutation of ethics, the two nodded and stopped, out of love, only in courtesy, and failed to be together, and the other is that the women in this world are ordinary, and there is no wonderful woman who can enter the eyes of the general.
Lin Chengping gently walked into the barracks tent of the Zhenbei Army, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "The last general, Lin Chengping, meets the general." ”
The general who was writing sketched the last stroke, watched with his cantilevered arms, and couldn't help but nod his head. Then he put down the brush and said, "Chengping, you don't have to be so polite. ”
"Yes." Lin Chengping raised his head. The corners of his mouth smiled, he had an inexplicable sense of affection for General Xiahou, just like looking at his father, the distant and unfamiliar word of father made him sometimes very conflicted, his father died in the fire, and the eldest sister became an elder, like a mother. And the image of his father has been very vague until he came to the Zhenbei Army and saw the general.
Xiahou Xiangyang slowly got up and pulled out a few small flags from the desk. handed it to Lin Chengping and walked to the sand table that occupied one-third of the camp tent: "Chengping, tell me what you have gained from this march?" ”
Lin Chengping solemnly took the flag and walked to the position opposite the general. Stretched out his hand and pointed to the approximate location of the Zhenbei Army. He said: "In this march, Long Xuecai set out from the camp of the Zhenbei Army, and went north along the Danube River that crisscrossed the north and south of the steppe, with a total straight line distance of about five hundred miles, and a roundabout distance of about 1,500 miles during the period, and met three Hun cavalry, a total of seven battles, because both sides were small encounters that were scattered at the touch of a button. So the casualties were very small, and no one was killed on the Long Xue Horse. More than 50 people were injured. ”
With the oral narration, Lin Chengping first planted two flags at the two locations of the Zhenbei Army and the marching destination, pointed out a winding and rugged march route with his fingers, and planted flags at the place where he fought with the Xiongnu.
"This march, not for military merits, only for speed, Long Xue cavalry can reach a hundred miles a day at the fastest speed, taking into account the marching grain and grass, the longest distance can be six hundred miles north of the Zhenbei Army. In order to ensure the safety of the march, it is most appropriate to use the form of a phalanx, so that the route of the march will not be too long and flattened, and the weak points will not be formed. ”
"Long Xue Cavalry, as the most mobile Zhenbei Army, in the encounter with the Huns, can maximize the advantage of combat power, but due to the natural disadvantage in numbers, it is not suitable for attacking and attacking, if it is a large-scale battle of death and death, Long Xue Cavalry uses excellent equipment and run-in tacit understanding, can fight against the enemy above twice the number and four times the number of people, but in this way, Long Xue Riding is tantamount to giving up mobility, and some gains outweigh the losses."
General Xiahou listened quietly, nodded from time to time, and muttered to himself: "More than two, less than four times, that is, 20,000 to 40,000." After Lin Chengping finished speaking, he paced a few steps lightly and asked, "Did you find any signs of the Right Account Royal Court on this march?" ”
Lin Chengping pondered for a while and said, "The Right Account Royal Court continues to move north, and it has reached the farthest distance with the Zhenbei Army in recent years. This winter came early, and it was extremely cold, the right account royal court continued to move north, it seems to be inconsistent with common sense, the last general guessed that there are two possibilities, one is civil strife, like the king of the southern courtyard A Guta, there is a disagreement within the right account royal court, the civil strife is the most attrition, and it has to move north, so as not to be seen by the Zhenbei army, and the other is to show weakness, gather forces, and carry out a large-scale counterattack. The right account royal court knows that the Central Plains is rich and the national strength is strong, if it is consumed with the Zhenbei army, one day the right account royal court will be consumed to the point of loss of combat power, and even if it bows to the imperial court, it will definitely not be peaceful with the style of the imperial court prime minister Pan Chunwei. ”
Being able to think of the imperial court's reaction, Xiahou Xiangyang couldn't help but admire, nodded and said: "Yes, Chengping, you have considered it very thoughtfully and in detail, so according to your speculation, how many people can the right account royal court gather at most?" ”
Lin Chengping looked at the sand table, starting from his many years of experience in fighting against the Right Account Royal Court, and said cautiously: "Sixty thousand to eighty thousand." ”
Xiahou Xiangyang couldn't help but squint his eyes and let out a long sigh: "Chengping, do you know why I am so insistent on forming a Dragon Snow Ride?" ”
Lin Chengping shook his head, some people in the court speculated that the general changed direction to ask the court for silver, grain and grass, and supported the army, but he knew that with the general's mind and feelings, he would definitely not do this kind of thing, and there must be an important reason for inhumanity.
"There are many reasons, but the most important one is that if the Zhenbei Army is completely annihilated, there must always be a living force that can continue to prevent the Xiongnu from going south, and the most basic thing is not to let the Xiongnu cross the Great Wall again and appear on the bank of Weishui." Xiahou Xiangyang said in a deep voice.
"General, the last general doesn't understand, now the only one who can compete with the Zhenbei Army is the Xiliang Army, but even if Xiliang wants to rebel and fight with the Zhenbei Army, it is difficult to say whether the victory or defeat will be, and the Zhenbei Army will not be wiped out." Lin Chengping heard the general talk about the destruction of the Zhenbei Army more than once, he always didn't understand, and today he finally couldn't help but ask.
"Chengping, you are wrong, the Zhenbei Army will not fight against the Xiliang Army, and Xiliang will not fight against, I know Xu Xiao too well, and sometimes I feel the same way, he and I have experienced the Spring and Autumn War, and we have seen life and death. My whole family was slaughtered by the previous dynasty, Xu Xiao also lost his beloved in the Suzaku Gate Incident, sometimes he and I are more like the same fate, so Xiliang will not rebel, and if someone wants to rebel, they will also be suppressed by Xu Xiao. Xiahou Xiangyang said with some emotion: "Chengping, this court needs people like Xu Xiao who are scolded, and someone needs to stand up and participate in one or two books every day." Over the years, Xu Xiao's existence is to fight against Xihu, and then become the target of the court's civil officials, if Xu Xiao does not exist, then I will become this target, every day above the court, stand up to one or two people to be loyal ministers, participate in Xiahou Xiangyang self-reliance, no one in his eyes, support the army and be proud, every year to the court to ask for money and grain, seven or eight out of ten of the grain and grass flow to the Zhenbei Army, has become a big trend, and it needs to be banned urgently. Therefore, I am worried that the disaster of the Zhenbei Army will not be a war, but from above the court. ”
Lin Chengping was shocked, he didn't believe that the imperial court would ban the Zhenbei Army, could it be that the general saw this and quickly banned the Zhenbei Army.
Xiahou Xiangyang looked at the gray sky outside the big tent: "But one thing cannot be denied, the existence of the Zhenbei Army has indeed become the shackles of the Great Wei State, and the grain, grass and military salaries have taken up seven or eight tenths of the treasury, Pan Chunwei and Chen Xian have seen this, so they have restrained Xiliang for many years, but they have never said a word to Xiliang, although the supply of grain and grass to the Zhenbei Army is timely, but it is thinking of banning the Zhenbei Army, in recent years, the Zhenbei Army has been winning, but if it is slightly defeated, the sound of the imperial court's attack will definitely be endless. No matter how bad things are, the 500,000 soldiers of the Zhenbei Army are no longer heroes defending the country, but have become sinners. And that's one aspect I don't want to see. ”
"So, the general has been working on disarmament in recent days, and that's why?" Lin Chengping's eyes were a little moist, he once had a conversation with the general, the general said that the Zhenbei Army is a big family, every camp is a small family, the Zhenbei Army will have casualties every day, and will lose a small family for various reasons, and now that the Zhenbei Army has been cut by half, the big family has fallen apart, and the general should be the most unbearable.
If there is a saint in the world, Lin Chengping feels that the general is a flawless true saint! (To be continued.) )
