Chapter 145

"The reason why the general sent troops is to save the people of the capital from being slaughtered, a heart of love for the people can be seen in heaven and earth, and the general is really admired, and he is willing to serve the general. This young general took the lead in a sycophant and showed his loyalty.

Ling Xiao was indifferent when he heard this.

When the other generals in the big account saw it, most of them were disdainful, although the army was the place where they paid the most attention to real skills, there was never a shortage of sycophants.

In the period of time before Zhou Yu left and Ling Xiao took office, all kinds of despicable villains who were very good at slapping horses and sycophants took office, causing 600,000 border troops to be in a miasma, and at least half of the generals in the tent had suffered because of this, and they were the people who looked down on sycophants the most.

However, at this time, it was the big account of the Chinese army, and the main general Ling Xiao was in front of him, and none of the generals dared to be presumptuous, so he was silent and listened attentively to the next words of this young general.

To be able to come to this big account, there must be some ability.

This is the words of the generals in the account, because they believe that Ling Xiao, appoint people on the basis of merit, regardless of relatives or relatives, as long as you are capable, and upright, and make meritorious contributions, you will definitely be rewarded and promoted, on the contrary, if you are a mediocre and incompetent mediocre talent, or a villain with bad morals, whether you are a cronie who has followed the side, or a general who has made great achievements, he will not be reused, and if he makes a mistake, he will be severely punished.

Sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, fair rewards and punishments on weekdays, and strict discipline are the two magic weapons that Ling Xiao uses to run the army.

"The general has the people of the world in mind, but to save the common people, he still needs many talents like General Zhang!" Ling Xiao didn't want to speak, so his face was expressionless, and Gao Yao, as his deputy general, lest this new young general be too embarrassed, so he opened his mouth and said comfortingly, "I don't know if General Zhang has any clever plan to solve this situation?" ”

"The last general's strategy is also simple, it is a little difficult to attack the capital before the Qingzhou army, so it is better to take the Qingzhou army here first!"

"Hmm. That's a great plan! Gao Yao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but praise him!

"Good! It's a great plan! All the generals in the tent were like Gao Yao, and they suddenly opened up.

"Well, that's good." Even Ling Xiao also opened his mouth to praise it.

Seeing Ling Xiao's statement, the generals in the tent began to discuss this idea on the basis of it.

"The combat power of the Qingzhou Army is not as good as our Longcheng Border Army, it has been decayed and degraded in the past few years, and its combat power is only afraid of being worse, as long as you find a suitable place, you will definitely be able to defeat it in one fell swoop!"

"It's not enough to defeat the Qingzhou army, if the 30,000 Qingzhou army collapses into stragglers, falls into the grass, and poisons the people in all directions, it will be a bigger trouble!"

"They are only 30,000, and we have more than 200,000, so we just need to surround them and annihilate them."

"Although our army has 200,000, there are only 60,000 here, and if we want to completely annihilate the Qingzhou army, 60,000 alone is not enough."

"Do you want to tell the army in the rear to speed up the march again and come to the round?"

"That's too rushed, it's not appropriate."

Before, it was inertial thinking, and he unconsciously regarded the Qingzhou Army as his friend, but at this time, the young general surnamed Zhang pierced the window paper with a word, and immediately, the generals in the tent began to think carefully and prepare a complete plan.

Gao Yao ordered someone to take the map and hang it in the center of the big tent, and everyone, including Ling Xiao, looked at the terrain around the map and discussed the tactics of war.

This map was made by Ling Xiao a few years ago, and he had long expected that it would be useful one day.

The generals in the tent looked at the map and discussed the detailed tactics, and Ling Xiao listened quietly on the side.

This time, the generals he chose to follow were all people who were very familiar with the various situations in the territory of Qi and had rich experience, while he was more familiar with the border, and his understanding of the topography and landforms in the territory was not as good as theirs, so he did not express his opinion much. He will only speak up when several parties have different opinions and disputes.

Finally, the battle plan was drawn up, and it was decided to lay an ambush in a valley seventy miles ahead. That night, Ling Xiao led an army of 30,000 to march overnight, quickly whipped up, rushed to the valley in front, and set up an ambush.

Four days later, the Qingzhou army approached the valley, and it was a coincidence that they found 20,000 Longcheng border troops, the army was solemn and solemn, and the army was mighty, and they walked through the low valley in an orderly manner.

Originally, although the Qingzhou Army was degenerate and incompetent, there were still many generals who could march and fight, and when they encountered such a dangerous place, they generally had to send Hou Reprimand to investigate, and then march the whole army after determining the safety!

But this time, the main general of the Qingzhou army hurried to the capital, and when he saw that the Longcheng border army had already walked in front of him, he was immediately anxious, and ordered the three armies to march immediately, follow the Longcheng border army, and pass through the valley!

There are cautious and cautious soldiers under his command, and they come forward to say, the road is on the march, and when encountering such a dangerous place, they should first send a marquis to investigate the truth, and then march again.

As a result, he was reprimanded by the commander, saying that the border army of Longcheng was ahead, and they could pass through safely, which meant that there was no enemy ambush in the valley!

Everyone is playing the banner of Qingjun's side, and this coach unconsciously regards Ling Xiao and them as potential allies, and subconsciously feels that before Gao Chong collapses, everyone is on the same path.

The commander's remarks won the praise of his generals, some said that the commander was wise and wise, and some ridiculed the soldiers who were stubborn and incomprehensible. In the midst of this noise, the 30,000 Qingzhou troops followed the Longcheng border army into this precipitous valley, and then, and then there was no more.

After taking the 30,000 Qingzhou army, Ling Xiao's Longcheng border army still accelerated its march, leaving 10,000 horses to guard the defeated and captured Qingzhou army, and marched slowly.

Then they hurried on the road for 12 days, and in the evening and dusk, the border army of Longcheng finally came to the capital, set up camp, lit a fire and cooked, and then the whole army rested.

Gao Chong and the others stood at the head of the city in the north of the city to watch the situation, and when they saw that the border army of Longcheng did not show signs of attacking the city, they all couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it was said well before, what time, place and people are on their side, Ling Xiao will be defeated, and the Song Dynasty will win, but for Gao Chong and others, who have never had experience in battle, just looking at the silence and solemnity outside the city, and the iron-blooded army with great swords, their hearts can't help but tremble.

This is the Dragon City border army that has won a hundred battles in the past ten years!

Looking at the flag, the leader is still the undefeated general - Ling Xiao!

This! How that should be!

As a person who has never experienced war, when he fights for the first time, he faces Ling Xiao, who has an undefeated reputation. The panic and fear in Gao Chong's hearts came out of the depths of their hearts uncontrollably!

It's the fear of the unknown! is even more intimidated by Ling Xiao's prestige!

Fortunately, fortunately, Gao Chong also had hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in his hands, and the city wall was towering, and the other party did not attack, but was camping, and after a while, the panic in Gao Chong's hearts gradually faded.

"King, Ling Xiao's military horses are not attacking, it seems that they have been hurrying for days, and the soldiers are tired, so they have to rest. This is the time when the enemy army is most tired, so it is better for us to attack at night and kill him without leaving a single piece of armor! A minister spoke at the side.

"General Li, what do you think?" Gao Chong said to a middle-aged general beside him. This is a military general that he finally won over, but it took a lot of thought.

"The lineup of this army outside the city is a little scattered, and it is indeed a tired army. It's just that Ling Xiao is a veteran of the battlefield, and the army that often wins will inevitably be guarded, and it is very inappropriate to attack at this time. General Lee replied.

"Then no troops!" As soon as the words came out, Gao Chong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, standing at the head of the city, touching the thick city wall, his heart was a little more steady.

"General Li, keep a good watch on this army for me! Don't slack off for a moment! Gao Chong said fiercely.

"The last general obeys!"

"Hmm." Gao Chong nodded, then turned around and went back to the palace, back to Gentle Township, the more this kind of crisis moment, the more people like him need wine to anesthetize themselves! It's just because he can't bear such a heavy pressure.
