Chapter 354: Night Exploration Dingchang
Xiao Ding and the generals discussed in the county hall of Shao County how to eliminate the force of Song Yinpan in front of Tingzhou Pass. However, he suddenly heard that another army sent by the king of Jiaozhou to support had also come to Jiaozhou from Jiangzhou and was currently advancing in the direction of Shaoxian.
So Xiao Ding immediately decided to destroy this army before it joined Song Yinpan. Otherwise, after the two armies converge, it will be difficult for their own side to deal with.
The generals naturally fully supported Xiao Ding's suggestion, and none of them objected. As soon as they mentioned the meritorious service in the war, they all became excited, and one by one they were gearing up, scrambling to be the first, and eager to try.
Xiao Ding first sent scouts to closely explore the route of the support army coming from Jiangzhou, and then sent the Han brothers Han Qi and Han Qi to Lenan County to quickly transfer the 5,000 forbidden troops in the city back to Shao County to standby. Just leave the 1,000 soldiers to defend the city.
He also sent Yang Yueling to lead a thousand soldiers to Anyuan County, leaving the 1,000 soldiers to defend the city, and scattered the 3,000 troops in the city, leaving 1,000 troops to be incorporated into the garrison army to continue to guard Anyuan County, and sent 1,000 troops to Lenan County to be incorporated into the garrison army brought by the Han brothers in Lenan County, and the remaining 1,000 troops were brought back to Shao County with the 5,000 forbidden troops in the city to stand by.
The other generals were temporarily brought in Shaoxian, waiting for the scouts to come back and determine the exact route of the reinforcements before preparing for battle.
Two days later, the Han brothers and Yang Yueling transferred all the 10,000 forbidden troops back to Shao County from Lenan County and Anyuan County respectively. The scouts have also found out at this time that the general who is currently leading the support army from Jiangzhou is named Da Chunlu, with a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they are currently walking on the road from Lianji County on the west side of Shao County to Dingchang County, and it is expected that they will be able to reach Dingchang County tonight.
Dingchang County is located in the west of Shao County, also at the foot of the Da Yu Mountains, next to Shao County.
If Da Chunlu is ready to attack Shaoxian, he may send troops to attack Shaoxian tomorrow, and it only takes half a day to come from Dingchang County to Shaoxian.
If Da Chunlu only wanted to join Song Yinpan's troops, then they would bypass Shaoxian from the south of Shaoxian tomorrow and head southeast to Tingzhou Pass. On the way, they may also go to Longxing County to rest.
After getting the news, Xiao Ding frowned, staring at the map and thinking hard. The biggest problem now is that it is not clear which route Da Chunlu will take tomorrow morning after arriving in Dingchang County tonight?
As the saying goes: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles! Xiao Ding can't figure out now whether Da Chunlu plans to come over to attack Shao County tomorrow, or bypass Shao County and go southeast to join Song Yinpan.
However, before Da Junlu departs tomorrow morning, the scouts sent out will not be able to find out the next course of action for Da Junritsu. Only tomorrow morning will they be able to find out.
However, if we wait until tomorrow morning to learn the news, and then send troops to intercept it, it will be too late. If Da Chunlu comes to attack Shaoxian with troops, it is better to say that his side only needs to wait to defend the city.
If Da Chunlu chooses to bypass Shaoxian County tomorrow morning and go to the direction of Tingzhou Pass to join Song Yinpan, then his side will miss the opportunity to set up an ambush in advance and intercept Da Chunlu's troops.
How can this be?
Xiao Ding looked at the map and pondered.
It's best to be able to know the next route of Da Chun Lu tonight, so that it is better to arrange in advance. But how can we know in advance tonight?
Xiao Ding thought about it and felt that only by sending a person with strong martial arts to Dingchang County tonight to mix with Da Chunlu's side would he have a chance to find out.
However, these generals under him are all immediate generals, let them lead troops to conquer the city, they are all good at it, but let them fly the eaves and go to find out the news, they will be difficult to do. After all, they are not people in the rivers and lakes, and they have not learned the kung fu of flying eaves and walking on the walls of the rivers and lakes.
So, if you really want to know the news tonight, it seems that you can only go by yourself. In fact, Yue Yurou can also help him investigate, but he is not too relieved to let Yue Yurou go alone. After all, it was necessary to blend into the enemy, this was a very dangerous thing, how could Yue Yurou be allowed to go into danger alone?
Xiao Ding took advantage of the two days of waiting to swallow a Heavenly Spirit Pill, which made his divine sense upgrade again. Before, the scanning range of the divine consciousness was only a few zhang away, but after taking the medicine, the scanning range can already reach a radius of more than ten zhang.
Moreover, after several days of continuous practice, he has become more proficient in using his divine sense to communicate with the jade pendant space, and he has become more casual in taking and placing things, and he can easily come to his mind wherever he wants.
Because in his jade pendant space, there was only a table in the corner before, and the area inside was not small, he felt that it was too empty, so these days, he went to the market in the city, bought several shelves and cabinets and put them in, so that he could put anything into the jade pendant space in the future, and he could directly put it on the shelves inside, or in the cabinet. It's not like everything is left around.
Since he had made up his mind to visit Dingchang tonight, Xiao Ding told Song Yinzi and the generals in the hall his thoughts.
After hearing this, Yue Yurou, who was sitting next to Xiao Ding, was the first to stand up and object, she said: "Brother Xiao Ding, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, otherwise, I'll go with you." ”
Yang Yueling also stood up and said loudly: "Cockroach Crawling Deputy Marshal, although I don't know how good your martial arts are, but as the commander of all of us, how can you let yourself go deep into danger?" If you have three longs and two shorts, who will lead us to war? ”
Other generals also chimed in, dissuading Xiao Ding from risking his life.
Even the two brothers, Han Qi and Han Qi, who have always been calm and rational, also stood up and dissuaded: "Deputy Marshal Tian, you have to focus on the overall situation!" If you have any mistakes, how can our army be able to exterminate the king of Jiaozhou? Even if we miss this fighter, we will have a chance to defeat them in the future, but if you are in any danger, then our army will not defeat itself! ”
Xiao Ding listened to the persuasion of the generals and was very moved, he knew that everyone was thinking about his safety. He also knew that everything everyone said was not wrong, and they were all reasonable.
But in his heart, he didn't want to lose this opportunity, no matter whether the other party's Da Chunlu came to attack Shaoxian, or made a detour to the direction of Tingzhou Pass to converge, he was confident that he would annihilate it.
If you miss this opportunity and the two armies of Da Chunlu and Song Yinpan converge, it will be very unfavorable to your side, and it is difficult to say whether there will be such an opportunity next time.
Therefore, Xiao Ding had made up his mind, so he refused to face to face: "I have made up my mind, I must go to Dingchang at night tonight, you don't have to persuade me." ”
Seeing that they couldn't persuade Xiao Ding, they had no choice for a while.
Yang Yueling rolled her eyes, and then said: "Cockroach crawling deputy marshal, since you must want to find out the news of the enemy tonight, why don't you send me, even if I die in Dingchang City, it can be regarded as sacrificing my life for the country, and our army will not lose its commander." ”
Although Yang Yueling's words were straightforward, they were impassioned, ignoring life and death, and there was a sense of righteousness and awe-inspiring death. After hearing this, the generals all rose up passionately and asked to go to Dingchang at night for Xiaoding.
Xiao Ding looked at all the generals and saw that everyone valued him so much, and his heart was moved, but he couldn't bear to let them die for him. He focused on Yang Yueling again, and said in his heart, with your loud voice, as soon as you enter the city, you have to be recognized by others without waiting for you to blend into the army. Sending these generals to go is almost equivalent to sending them to death, and if they go, they are still much more sure than they go, after all, they have now achieved great success in light weight and vajra, even if they are discovered, the other party may not be able to hurt themselves.
And now that he has divine sense, he can easily discover everyone within a radius of ten zhang. It is easy to be discovered by others. If he practiced the third-level stealth technique and the wall piercing technique, he would be even more sure of doing this kind of thing, but unfortunately although he practiced these two spells for a few days, he still didn't have much effect for the time being.
The higher the level of the spell, the more difficult it is to practice, and the cultivation is not in a hurry. You can only take it step by step, wait for the opportunity, and be at peace with the situation.
Yue Yurou is the same, she has been dissuading Xiao Ding, and she also offered to go for Xiao Ding, but Xiao Ding also refused.
Xiao Ding did not agree to anyone's request, and still decided to go alone. And decided to blend into Dingchang City during the day today.
So, Xiao Ding put all the items he needed to carry into the jade pendant space, and then rode his horse, left Shao County, and galloped towards Dingchang County......
