Chapter 113: The Bloody Battle of Gepo II
Twenty miles southwest of Gepo Township, on a sandy plain on the banks of the Rushui River.
"Did the scouts who let them go back?"
In the makeshift tent, Mu Shan took off his heavy armor, washed his hands, and then knelt down and asked Jiang Lu, who was writing.
"Probably not!"
Jiang Lu put down the pen in his hand and replied respectfully: "It will take at least three hours before you can come back to recover your life, after all, this is already Ge Po, there are Yellow Turban troops all around, scouts must be cautious when they come out, if they encounter, it will naturally be a battle, so if you want to find out the news, it will take a certain amount of time!" ”
"Sir, what do you say Gong Du is thinking?"
Mu Shan looked at a marching map, drew a few directions, and then asked incomprehensibly: "I led the troops to come, even uprooted his two battalions, killed him 3,000 soldiers and horses, the momentum was like a bamboo, and he drove straight in, but he sat firmly on Mount Tai, and there was no reinforcement at all, whether he lacked troops, or he didn't care about a certain family leading troops to come!" ”
In ten days, he successively pulled out the two camps blocking the road from Guanyang to Gepo, and approached Gepo as fast as possible.
The quieter it is, the more unsettling it is.
He began to feel uneasy.
"Mu Shuai, there have been scouts to inquire about the news before, and I have also asked a lot of prisoners, Gepo Township is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a natural military camp, Gong Du has at least 100,000 troops here, but Gong Du has never sent troops to intercept us, either he is overconfident, or he has other calculations, no matter what, I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to fight!"
Jiang Lu squinted slightly, and a touch of caution appeared in the depths of his eyes: "Next, we must avoid its edge, maintain our strength, and respond to all changes with no change!" ”
"How do you preserve your strength?" Makiyama asked.
"Mu Shuai, our soldiers of Wuyin, the vanguard is the army, we have fought several battles, the Battle of Guanyang, the vanguard opened the way, and it can be regarded as a great contribution to this battle, and then it is time to let the main force play!" Jiang Lu smiled and said, "Otherwise, our Lord Commander will be red-eyed!" ”
On the battlefield, in addition to life and death, there are also military exploits.
If you eat too alone, you will naturally be jealous, and the Yin Dancing Soldier has already revealed its edge, so it's time to hide it.
"That's right!"
Mu Shan nodded, thinking deeply, after all, the battle of Runan was not over, and he had a chance, so he said: "Our Lord Du Lieutenant is not simple, how open-minded he is, it's time for him to earn credit!" ”
"Mu Shuai, I'm still worried about the problem of grain and grass in our army!"
Jiang Lu sighed and said worriedly: "Now that there is a shortage of food in the camp, we have saved the remaining grain and grass, but it will eventually be consumed, and within three days, the grain and grass will not arrive, and we will have a big disaster!" ”
When Mu Shan heard this, he thought about it, calmed him down, and said: "You shouldn't worry, although the grain and grass transportation of our Wuyin has not arrived, but the grain and grass from the county government have arrived, a full 100,000 stones, if you save a little, it is enough for 30,000 troops to have two months of grain and grass, presumably he should not be stuck with my grain and grass!" ”
"Don't be unguarded!" Jiang Lu said: "The county government has always been afraid of the shepherd, and the shepherd doesn't know!" ”
"So what should I do?"
"When the shepherd is right, it doesn't hurt to be stronger!" Jiang Lu said persuasively: "At this moment, thousands of sons and daughters in the army are looking at Mu Shuai, it should be ours, Mu Shuai can fly high, and only by suppressing them can they be afraid!" ”
"Got it!"
Mu Shan got up and said, "Come on, lead me to the horse!" ”
"Shepherd, go find Lord Captain now!"
Jiang Lu was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Duwei's main force is still eighty miles away, and it will take at least two days to march slowly!" ”
"Didn't you say that within three days, if the grain and grass are not continued, there will be a great disaster?"
Mushan said: "I can't wait for them to arrive, since he doesn't take the initiative to give, I will take the initiative to ask for it, I will go back, it won't take long!" ”
After speaking, he rode a horse, took a hundred cavalry of the personal guard battalion, and headed towards the rear......
……
A day later.
Mushan came back, and brought back 8,000 stone of grain and grass.
"I thought that Lord Du Wei would give us 5,000 stones, which was already a lucky thing, but I didn't expect that there would be 8,000 stones!"
"Haha!"
Mu Shan laughed: "I just asked him for 30,000 grains and grass!" ”
"Didn't Lord Lieutenant say anything?" Jiang Lu asked with a smile.
"Before he could speak, one by one the county lieutenants were crusading against a certain family, and a certain family was angry and killed one person, it was the previous Zhuyang County lieutenant, and he was the happiest to call, I gave him a punch directly, he couldn't bear it, and he died!"
Makiyama said coldly.
"See blood!" Jiang Lu frowned: "This is a bit too much!" ”
"Not too much!"
Mushan said: "He dared to send troops to intercept the grain transported by Jing'er before, I am taking revenge, and I don't dare to say anything more to them!" ”
"That's right!"
Jiang Lu heard this, nodded: "But it's better to be humble, since the benefits are in hand, don't you want to give Lord Du Wei a face, wait for Lord Du Wei to lead the troops to arrive, Mu Shuai still apologizes to him personally, this will not damage Mu Shuai at all, but it can make him get off the stage, so that he will not think about you in his heart!" ”
"It's okay, isn't it just an apology, a matter of three or two sentences, a bow, a trivial matter!"
Makiyama has always been atmospheric, and he doesn't care about this etiquette.
"Come on, let Lei Hu come to see me!"
Makiyama drank.
"In!"
Lei Hu didn't know that he had jumped out of that corner.
"Big boss, I've been waiting for your military order, so naturally I'm wandering around your tent!" Lei Hu is a serious way.
"Okay!"
Mu Shan pointed at him angrily, and then said: "Give you a task, you lead the pioneer battalion, escort 3,000 stone grain and grass to the north, and hand it over to Jingping Camp, at this time Jingping Camp should also be on the verge of running out of food!" ”
"No!"
Lei Hu took the order and left.
……
Another day, about evening, the main force of the Nanyang army slowly came, and a temporary military camp was established next to the Mushan camp.
"Zhang Chuan, the county lieutenant of Wuyin, came today to confess to Lord Duwei!"
Mushan entered the camp, without saying a word, knelt down and confessed his guilt.
"What is the sin?"
Huang Meng's face was pale, and his eyes were as cold as ice.
On the day before, Mushan suddenly killed, as soon as he entered the camp, he wantonly asked for food and grass, and in less than three sentences, he killed a county lieutenant under his command, which made him almost can't help but lead his troops to kill him before attacking Ge Po.
There are not many soldiers in Zhuyang, but the county lieutenant of Zhuyang County is also a dignified county lieutenant, and in front of him, he was killed by such a punch, and the leaders of so many county soldiers in Nanyang were dumbfounded.
He, the Captain, is also a disgrace.
"A certain disrespectful military order, disrespectful to the captain, unauthorized killing, capital crime!"
The hard road of Makiyama.
"County Lieutenant Zhang's words are serious!"
Huang Meng didn't speak, but Liu Jin spoke, he hurriedly helped Mu Shan up, and said: "The county lieutenant of Zhuyang County is too selfish, holding Wuyin grain and grass hostage, this is self-inflicted, Zhang County Lieutenant has no choice but to make a move, we all understand, after this matter returns to Nanyang in the future, it will be decided by Lord Taishou, and now we still take care of the war in front of us, what do you think!" ”
"That's what Lord Guncheng said!"
"That makes sense!"
"The big war is coming, how can you mess up your position because of some small things!"
A group of county lieutenants hurriedly spoke.
The main reason is that Mu Shan's ferocity scared them, Mu Shan dared to kill the Zhuyang County Lieutenant in front of Huang Meng, and he dared to kill them, this puppet can't be offended.
"You guys?"
Huang Meng was furious, but he was suppressed by Liu Jin's eyes and had to swallow this breath.
"There is a right and wrong thing, and the army has military regulations!"
Mu Shan shook his head and arched his hand: "A certain disrespectful captain, it is a fact, military law does not allow, if you do not lead the military rules, isn't it arrogant and rude, everyone will follow suit in the future, my Nanyang soldiers, how to unite, where to fight, only suitable for now there is still a big war imminent, related to the comfort and reputation of Nanyang, a certain dare not say death, now only to receive a hundred military regulations, in order to set an example, but also ask the captain to complete, after the end of the war, the adult to kill or chop, a certain family to listen to the respect!" ”
His words had fallen, and all eyes were on him in the camp.
This was somewhat unexpected.
Even Huang Meng's expression has softened a lot, this is a golden staircase, which can at least save a lot of his prestige in the Nanyang Army.
"Wuyin Zhang Chuan came to lead the army, where is the law, please execute!"
Mushan turned to leave, walked out of the tent, took off his robe, and shouted angrily.
"In!"
Two law enforcement soldiers on the left and right stepped forward.
Bang Bang Bang !!!
In front of this camp gate, he received a hundred military sticks, although the person who started was arranged by him, and the strength of the attack was good, and he would not be injured internally, but on the surface, his back was still blurred with flesh and blood.
"This is a man!"
"How can you be disrespectful to such a fierce general!"
"It's not unreasonable for the Yin Dancing Soldiers to charge forward three times or four times!"
"If you want to say this, it's no wonder that he is charging in front, but the captain of Zhuyang County is preparing to intercept his grain and grass in the rear, how can he not be angry!"
"That's right!"
Many county lieutenants looked at this scene and lamented, even if they didn't really like Mushan very much, and even feared Mushan's strength, but at this moment, they were somewhat impressed by it.
"Lord Duwei, Zhang Chuan is guilty, if Lord Du Lieutenant thinks that this military law is not enough for the crime, he can continue to be executed, Zhang Chuan will never complain!"
Mu Shan bowed to Huang Meng.
"County Lieutenant Zhang has this heart, and he is quite pleased!" Huang Meng said indifferently: "Military law is ruthless, don't commit it again in the future, today in this position, after all, you are my vanguard general, don't be injured, go and heal first!" ”
"No!"
Makiyama took the order and left.
……
After Makiyama left, the atmosphere in the camp was a little depressing.
"Okay, that's the end of the matter, don't talk about it in the future!"
Huang Meng waved his hand, and then said: "The most important thing for us now is to take Ge Po, Ge Po is in front of us, who wants to fight!" ”
"A certain family is willing to ask for war!"
"Subordinates, please fight!"
Several county lieutenants came out one after another and surrendered to the battle.
They all have more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, watching the victory of Mushan in one battle, and they also have a little assessment of the strength of the Yellow Turban Army in their hearts, so they naturally want to win some fame on the battlefield, so they have asked for battle.
