Chapter 236: Army
"Hugh wants to ask me where I come from!" The old army said in a deep voice: "You will leave tomorrow, go back to see King Xin, and tell him that if he enters the Daimyo's mansion, my master will send him a letter, asking him to give my master a face and retreat immediately." After speaking, he turned around and left, Yang Xiong hurriedly grabbed and said, "Old man is slow, who is the master of your family?" How do I spread the word? ”
The old army pondered for a moment and said, "Taiyuan." After saying that, he pushed Yang Xiong away and squeezed out, Yang Xiong still wanted to call him back, but he just went out, but there was no figure.
Yang Xiong looked at the door for a while, then retreated, first opened the paper, there was a marching map drawn in it, he couldn't understand it, so he folded it again, put it in his arms, sat and thought about it, got up again and began to clean up, packed up his things, sat on the bed and waited until dawn, and then lifted the Pu knife, crossed the waist knife and came out of the house.
The guy in the store had just gotten up, and when he saw Yang Xiong coming out, he hurriedly came over, and said, "Is the guest going out early in the morning?" ”
Yang Xiong didn't speak, walked to the counter, dropped a piece of silver, and said, "This is the house account money, I have to leave here, you quickly take my livestock out." ”
As soon as the account clerk got up, he yawned and gossiped with Yang Xiong, and quickly dialed the abacus, and said after the settlement: "The guest waits, and the small one will get the change back for the guest." ”
Yang Xiong said impatiently: "No need, I will reward you with a lot." The tent was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, so he called Xiao Er to lead Yang Xiong's horse, and then the two of them sent Yang Xiong out together.
Yang Xiong pulled the horse and hurried to the south city gate, where the city gate was half opened, and then fenced with antlers, after all, the city could not be completely sealed, so some special things, or secret orders, can leave.
Yang Xiong lit up the secret order in the past, and those small troops didn't check too much, so they opened the antlers and let him out of the city.
As soon as he arrived outside the city, Yang Xiong immediately got on his horse, gave his mount two whips, and rushed in the direction of Umbrella Mountain.
Yang Xiong was only afraid of making a mistake, and he didn't care about the pity, so he rushed forward without his life, and when it was nearly late, he arrived at the left side of the umbrella cover mountain, at this time the war horse was so tired that he foamed at the mouth, but it was difficult to walk, Yang Xiong had no choice but to pull the reins, get off the horse, and let it rest and then go.
Yang Xiong also hadn't eaten for a day, so he would take the horse and walk a few steps, find a stream, drink the horse downstream, hold a few handfuls of clear spring to wash his face upstream, and then take a few gulps, then open the package, take out the dry cake and chew it, and at the same time break a piece of cake, and send the small pieces to the horse's mouth.
At this time, a pure red fox suddenly came from a distance, Yang Xiong saw it at a glance, and couldn't help but praise: "Good skin!" As he spoke, an arrow followed, and shot at the fox's back, the fox screamed, and the body was in a hurry, it ran too fast, so that the body lost its balance, and fell to the ground, Yang Xiong saw it at a glance, flew away, and reached out to catch the fox, but at this time, another arrow hit, and shot at Yang Xiong's head.
"Clumsy!" Yang Xiong let out a low shout, grabbed the arrow in his left hand like lightning, held the arrow in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Who is it!" ”
From the direction where the fox ran, dozens of horses came, and the first one grabbed the horse, arched his hand to Yang Xiong, said in a modest tone, and said apologetically: "This hero, just now he shot an arrow, and when he shot it, he couldn't see the hero, and he almost injured the hero, so please forgive the hero." ”
Yang Xiong couldn't help but feel a little bit of heartbreak, and the resentment he had was gone, so he waved his hand and said: "It didn't hurt me, don't worry about it." ”
The man got off the horse and walked towards Yang Xiong, and a man behind him who was ugly hurriedly dismounted and followed, and as the two approached, a trace of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and then he said: "Your Excellency looks extraordinary, isn't it the 'sick pass'?" ”
Yang Xiong was stunned and said, "How do you know me?" ”
The man laughed and said: "Xiao Wang is Zhao Zhen, I heard Mr. Lu Qinglu talk about Brother Yang's appearance, because of the festival-level talent, I remember it deeply, but I didn't expect to meet the section level today." "Zhao Zhen didn't really remember what Yang Xiong looked like, but he got closer just now and tested it with the system, and then he was sure.
Yang Xiong exclaimed, knelt forward, and shouted: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Xin, Yang Xiong was rude, and he deserved death!" ”
Zhao Zhen hurriedly helped Yang Xiong up and said, "I went to the Daimyo's Mansion to inquire about the news, but I was lucky!" Ahead is our great camp, but let's rest in the camp. He didn't ask what news he found, he was concerned about Yang Xiong's body first, but because he had just measured Yang Xiong's loyalty, he couldn't help but be secretly happy, and took care of Yang Xiong from the bottom of his heart, but Yang Xiong's heart was moved to tears, and he secretly decided that he must be loyal to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen was too idle under this umbrella mountain, so he took Du Xing and a few of their guards out to hunt for recreation, and originally planned to barbecue wild meat outside and go back later, but after seeing Yang Xiong, he knew that Yang Xiong must have a military plane to tell him, so he pulled Yang Xiong back to the camp.
When he arrived in the camp, Zhao Zhen asked people to arrange for Yang Xiong to wash and eat, and then asked someone to invite Lu Qing to come over, and waited for Yang Xiong.
Yang Xiong also knew that Zhao Zhen was waiting for his news, so he simply cleaned up, rushed over without eating, first told what happened in the Daimyo's Mansion, and then handed over the marching map and the old army to Lingjian.
Zhao Zhen saw that Yang Xiong was fighting when he spoke, and when he finished speaking, he immediately asked Du Xing to help him down to rest, and only after waiting for someone to leave did he say to Lu Qing: "Can Mr. guess who is secretly helping us?" ”
Lu Qing looked at the marching map and said: "The minister guessed a person, but he is not sure yet, so he will not be mentioned first." After speaking, he knocked on the marching map and said: "We originally just had an idea to see if we could move Yu Wanchun, if we couldn't move, we would wave the army into Bozhou, and then turn to Shandong, but now it seems that we must move this Yu Wanchun." ”
Zhao Zhen said puzzledly: "Why do you have to move him?" ”
Lu Qing pointed to the marching map and said: "It is clearly written on it, Yu Wanchun came towards Maling Road, which is similar to the marching route we guessed, but there is an error here, Yu Wanchun's men and horses should have left the Daimyo Mansion a long time ago, originally I thought that in this way, there would be some emptiness in the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo Mansion, and we could wave our troops directly at the Daimyo Mansion to deter Liu Yu, but now Yu Wanchun has not left, as long as there is another day of marching, it will be very close to us, will he march to the Umbrella Mountain by the way, and put us these' The bandits' are all extinguished, none of us know, plus he is not far away, then if we enter the Daimyo's mansion, he can transfer troops back at any time, and we have few troops, we can't divide the troops to block the reinforcements, but may fall into the danger of the opponent's attack on both sides, so the best way is to strike at Yu Wanchun first. ”
Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, and said, "But...... We ourselves have less than 5,000 people, even if we add the men and horses of the umbrella cover mountain, it is only in the early 5,000s, and Yu Wanchun has 30,000 horses, how can we fight. ”
Lu Qing was also silent, even if he himself felt that his resourcefulness was high, he did not have the certainty of attacking the other party's 30,000 with 5,000 people.
Neither of them spoke, they sat silently, each thinking about it, and just as they were thinking, Duchenne shouted outside: "Your Highness! There is news of General Fu and General Ma. ”
Zhao Zhen and Lu Qing showed joy at the same time, and shouted: "Come in!" ”
Du Xing led a small army in, and the small army took a step forward, and was about to give a salute, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "But there is no need, just say that Mr. Fu is in charge of their news." ”
Xiao Jun listened to the order and said: "Back to His Royal Highness, the little one met Ma Da people in Li Gu Town, they went to Li Gu Town in three ways, in order to avoid the news from the Daimyo's Mansion, they all disguised themselves as merchants, and now they are all concentrated in Li Gu Town, General Ma wrote a book list back, and let the little one present it to His Royal Highness." After saying that, the small army took out a letter in Neihuai, it turned out that after Zhao Zhen and they settled under the umbrella cover mountain, they kept sending people to Li Guzhen to inquire about Fu Hong's news, but there was no movement, and after a few days, there was finally news. Zhao Zhen and Lu Qing read Ma Kuo's letter, and knew that they had taken Linzhang, blocked Cheng'an, and Orshun had mobilized Li Ji, Yu Dajiang, and Liu Chun to find the news of the main force of the Xin army in Xiangzhou, and couldn't help but smile at the same time, and said: "It seems that they all think that our army is in the area of Xiangzhou." ”
Lu Qing looked at the letter and said with some regret: "If we still have a team of men and horses here, then we can attack Yu Wanchun's men and horses." ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but smile, and said, "It seems that Mr. doesn't have much confidence in Yu Wanchun." ”
Lu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, the other party's 30,000 horses, all of them are soldiers of the Northern Army who have fought with the Liao people for many years, although the Northern Army is much worse than the Western Army, but compared to the stragglers we have encountered, it is still much stronger, with our more than 5,000 East and West together, it is difficult to win without training soldiers and horses." ”
When Zhao Zhen and Lu Qing were talking, Du Xing's lips moved, and he looked like he wanted to speak, Lu Qing saw it at a glance, and said to the little army: "You can retreat and rest first, and then call you over when I have a decision here." ”
Xiaojun obeyed the order, and Lu Qing said to Du Xing: "What did you just say?" ”
Du Xing said: "When the last general went to the umbrella cover mountain yesterday to deliver something to General Yue, he heard the lord of Shazhen Shazhai say that there is a Lujiabao seventy miles away from here, where there is a rebel army, and there are more than 3,000 horses, and the strength is much stronger than that of the umbrella cover mountain, but the leader of the rebel army is from the official army and does not associate with them. ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Do you know who the leader of the rebel army is there?" ”
"The leader of the righteous army is called Lu Ren, I heard that it was the original Yongjing army training, after the Jin soldiers returned to the north, he recruited the original Yongjing army, the area of the Daimyo's mansion, unwilling to reduce the gold, and unwilling to join the official army with Liu Yu, tried his own property, made up this righteous army, Liu Yu had sent generals to crusade against him, but they were all defeated, and he and Liu Yu still have some kinship, so Liu Yu no longer sent troops to suppress, but changed to recruit, but Lu Ren repeatedly refused, and refused to surrender."
Lu Qing said in a deep voice: "I have been colleagues with this Lu Ren for a few years, but there has been no intersection, but I didn't expect that his family was here, and he also formed a righteous army by himself." ”
Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Sir, if you go alone, do you think you can recruit this Lu Ren?" ”
Lu Qing groaned: "This is not easy to say, this Lu Ren is a stubborn person, if he can see it, then no matter what, he thinks this person is good, if it is not in the eye, then this person is his own ancestor, and he will not say a good word." ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Now our army is in urgent need of manpower, all he has in his hands are officers and soldiers, even if he is not an elite soldier, he should have some combat power, and he should be let go if he is alone." ”
Lu Qing was embarrassed and said, "But it's ......." ”
Zhao Zhen pointed to the marching map and said: "Sir, please look, Yu Wanchun's men and horses will enter Maling Road in three days at most, and our best ambush location is here, if we let it go, we can only leave quietly, otherwise once Yu Wanchun's army marches to Umbrella Mountain, we will not be able to resist him, so I want to set off tonight and go to Lujiabao to give it a try." ”
Lu Qing is still hesitant, one of the reasons why his strategy value is not more than 100 is that he is always hesitant, and now he also wants to pull the Lu family's people over, but he is afraid that Zhao Zhen will have any accidents, so he hesitates.
Zhao Zhen saw the meaning of Lu Qing's heart, so he smiled and said: "Sir, then Lu Ren will not cooperate with us at most, and he will not take the prince Gu in his eyes, since he is playing the number of the Great Song Dynasty, then he can't be unfavorable to Gu, what else do you have to worry about." ”
Lu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "I naturally have more scruples than Your Highness." Then he let out a sigh and said, "Okay, Your Highness will go and see if you can convince Lu Ren." ”
At that moment, the two of them discussed the details again, and then invited Yang Wen and Wen Da over, and said the arrangement, so they asked him to assist Lu Qing and manage military affairs when Zhao Zhen was away, and Zhao Zhen personally wrote a letter to Fu Hong, asking her to stay in Ligu Town temporarily with her people, but not to alarm Liu Yu, after everything was arranged, Zhao Zhen took Du Xing and thirty guards, left the camp, and traveled to the southeast overnight, and went to Lujiabao.
After Zhao Zhen left the camp, he called the system: "You said two days ago that there were two hundred red killing orders, right?" ”
"Yes, it was obtained by Fu Hong and Yang Zhi for killing the enemy to the host."
"Use them all, and summon two generals with their own soldiers and horses."
"The host has made an additional request, and since the host has no more killings of the same color, the system cannot summon them."
Zhao Zhen then remembered that he wanted to attach conditions to summon, and every time he summoned one, he had to empty the rest of the same color with the same amount of killing order, which made him annoyed, but then said: "How much is my white killing order?" In general, the system does not make statistics, and will only answer if he asks.
"There are already a hundred, and there is a white killing order brought by Liu Yu and their new hatred value."
"Isn't it true that the white Hu Killing Order can be freely converted, and the five red Hu Killing Orders can be converted twice to summon."
"Is the host thought through? This kind of summoning is a waste for the precious White Hu Killing Order, and for a hundred White Hu Killing Orders, the host can buy a rare treasure, and can also add some attributes to himself. ”
