Chapter 0272: The Storm Is Coming
From the warm to the cold to the scorching summer, Ortai has been stationed in Danba for more than three months. In the past three months, not to mention Salopun, even the tail of Salopun's rear army has not encountered a single one, and only some scattered soldiers have been captured. The emperor issued an edict urging the use of troops, and Ortai was anxious, so he found some local Tibetans and led spies to search for the Salopun army. On this day, a spy finally reported that there was a place called Heishuigou a hundred miles to the north, and a lot of soldiers and horses were stationed.
Ortai was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered his pro-army to open the cowhide map. The map was drawn by someone when Qingfu was the governor of Sichuan. Heishuigou is low, surrounded by mountains, and Ruosha Luoben is stationed here, but he is a taboo in the soldiers. As long as Ortai sent a large number of officers and soldiers, he came down from a high position and bombarded Sharoben, but he was afraid that Shalopun would not be able to escape.
Ortai looked at the map, rubbed his beard and laughed. Xiao joined the army and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Ortai pointed to the location of Heishuigou and said with a smile: "Isn't it true that Saroben stationed the army here to die?" ”
Xiao Shenjun pondered for a moment, then hesitated and said: "Xiaguan knows what Exiang means, but the previous Qingfu and Zhang Zhitai are not incompetent, and they haven't been able to catch a single hair of Sha Luoben in the past few years, but I'm afraid that Sha Luoben is not such a stupid person." Xia Guan thinks it's better to be careful. ”
Ortai said nonchalantly: "In the past three months, we have been dragged around by the nose of Sha Luoben, and we have not fought a single battle. The emperor repeatedly issued edicts urging the army, and he was afraid of committing a holy wrath if he did not clash head-on. Even if they weren't Saroben's army, being able to annihilate such a large enemy army would be an explanation to the emperor. ”
Xiao joined the army, although he felt that something was wrong. But he couldn't speak, so he could only keep silent.
A pro-soldier came in from outside the big tent and said to Ortai: "Your lord." Zhang Zhengtai was outside the tent, and he was leading two girls. ”
"Girl?" Ortai was surprised. The front-line positions are all men, where did the girl come from? Could it be Zhang Guangsi's family?
"Invite them in." Ortai said after a moment's silence.
The pro-army said yes, and stepped out of the tent with heavy and powerful steps. Ortai returned to the center and sat down. In a moment, Zhang Guangsi entered the account. Ortai only glanced at it, immediately got up, shook his sleeves and saluted: "Ortai didn't know that Qing Gege was coming. If you miss the distance, you can also look at Qingge Haihan! ”
The person who came was Qing Gege. They set out at dawn and walked for three days. I only went to Danba today to find the Ortai camp.
Ortai invited Gege to enter the account and offered tea to the army. It is not as good as the town, and the officials and soldiers have traveled a long way, so they can only drink some crude barley tea.
Gege sat down in the tent. said: "Please sit down!" The emperor knows that he is working hard. Special order Ruoqing to come here to work the army. ”
Ortai sat down and said: "Ertai is incompetent, and he hasn't seen Shaluoben in Danba for more than three months, Ertai has made the emperor worry!" Instantly, Ortai's face showed a smug look, and his tone became brighter: "However, just now, the advance of our army detected the Sharoben camp, and according to this, it is only more than a hundred miles. Ertai is ready to open tonight. Kill them one by surprise. Speaking of which, this is all the luck brought by the emperor's blessing and Gege. ”
Gege's face did not change. said lightly: "Ruoqing doesn't understand the military situation, and I hope that the prime minister will explain it in detail." ”
Ortai unfolded Fang Cai's map again, pointed out the location of Heishuigou, and told Gege about his planned strategy.
After listening, Gege said in a deep voice: "It is said in the book of war that those who make good use of soldiers often occupy an advantageous location to station, and they generally have their backs to the mountains and rivers and go down from the heights. When he was young, he followed Nian Qianyao to conquer Tibet, and he had many eloquent talents. At this time, how could he make such a fatal mistake by being on one side and injuring our army? Gege's implication is that this is a trap set by Salopunbu, just waiting for the officers and soldiers to enter? If Ortai rashes the enemy, he is afraid that he will fall into a heavy encirclement. But Gege spoke vaguely, and he was not familiar with Ortai, he was the commander of an army, and Gege was just here to work in the army, but it was inconvenient to say it too bluntly.
Ortai waved his hand and said, "Gege, don't worry. Ertai is well arranged, and there is no difference in cuò. The enemy army is at the bottom of the mountain, as long as our army occupies the mountain, even rolling stones can crush hundreds of them, not to mention that there are still a few red-coated cannons in our army, as long as they are pushed to the mountain, they will rumble down a few cannons to ensure that their flesh and blood are flying. Even if it's not a big victory, at least it's a small victory, you can comfort the emperor, and you can boost morale, Gege said what's wrong? ”
If it goes on, it will be there, and Gege can only say, "It would be great if it could be like this." ”
Ortai immediately issued an order, ordering both the left and right flanks to rush to the front of the Chinese army. The whole army rested, ate at the time of the unitary, marched with the whole army at the time of the day, and entered the Heishuigou at the time of the day to launch a full-scale attack on the enemy.
Coming out of the tent, Gege went to rest in the tent prepared for them. As soon as she entered the tent, Hongcui lay on the simple bamboo bed on all sides, and sighed for a long time: "The weather in Sichuan is not ordinarily hot. Although our Jiangning Ningxia day is also hot, but it is too far away from Sichuan Bicha, this is simply a furnace, and it is necessary to roast Hongcui into a suckling pig. ”
The weather was really hot, there was not a single breeze, and the atmosphere inside the tent was a little stuffy. After a few days of driving, my body was very tired, but my body was sticky and hot, and I couldn't sleep. Hongcui turned over a few times, still scolding the ghost weather in her mouth.
Fortunately, when she came, Hongcui bought a few fans in the town, which came in handy at this time. Hongcui irritably fanned the wind with her fan, pulling down the neckline of her red shirt.
Someone outside the door asked in a loud voice, "Qing Gege!" ”
Gege sat in the tent, his brows furrowed, and he was suddenly disturbed by such a sound, and couldn't help but look up and ask, "What's the matter?" ”
The man replied, "It's hot here, and the commander ordered Gege to send some fruits to relieve the heat." ”
Gege replied, "Come in." ”
A small man came in with a bucket in his hand. Walking up to Gege, the little man said, "This is a new lychee, to relieve Gege's heat." ”
Gege said lightly: "Got it." ”
The little man stepped back. Hongcui jumped up from the bamboo bed, peeled one off and handed it to Gege. Gege sipped absentmindedly and blurted out, "I'm afraid it's going to rain!" ”
"It's raining?" Hongcui asked in surprise. Can it rain in this weather?
Gege spit out the nucleus, chewed the nucleus slowly, and said thoughtfully: "A rainstorm is coming!" Our army does not know the terrain, and it is raining heavily, so I am afraid that it is not a good sign. ”
Hongcui pursed her lips, swallowed three lychees in a row, and whimpered and said: "The things that Exiang has decided, Xiao Gege thinks about it in vain." Jiren Tianxiang, Xiao Gege has his own blessing from God. But to be honest, it's best to rain at this time, otherwise Hongcui will really be roasted. (To be continued......)
