Chapter 255: King Yong's Army
"Qi Yu is handsome, His Royal Highness King Yong has sent an edict to the army, and the team is ten miles away!" Several generals returned to the Chinese army's tent and received this report.
Xiang Xun immediately paid attention to it, glanced around, his eyes fell on Murong Chengtai, and called: "Murong Chengtai!" ”
"The last general!"
Xiang Xun instructed: "You lead two hundred armor soldiers to meet His Royal Highness King Yong, and you must ensure the safety of His Highness, and there will be no mistakes!" ”
"Obey!" Murong Chengtai responded and left.
"Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness King Yong has been edicted to come to work, and we should also be ready to welcome us, send orders to all villages, be vigilant and vigilant, tidy up the military appearance, and show the prestige of our Han army!" He waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes!"
There are more than 20 camps of the Han army, three in the northeast, which are garrisoned by the inner temple direct army. In the camp on the ridge, in front of the fence, the autumn sun hung high in the sky, releasing light. Under the light, Shi Shouxin and Han Chongyun, the two generals, tied their military robes around their waists, rolled up their sleeves, held a brush, and were personally washing their mounts.
Probably the war horse was comfortably served, shaking its hooves a few times from time to time and making a few hearty neighings. Carrying a bucket of water and pouring it on the horse, while brushing the horse's mane, Han Chongyun said to Shi Shouxin: "From summer to autumn, now it's almost winter, and tens of thousands of troops are sitting here, not advancing a bit." Neither tackling key problems, but also trying to break the situation, this is so dry and wasted, it is really a waste of national money and food! ”
"Soldiers, the matter involves the country, and it is a matter of life and death, so it is natural to be cautious! Be calm and patient! Shi Shouxin's eyes were all on Aima, and he replied.
"Not everyone has the patience of Brother Shi!" Han Chongyun said: "Although the Shu army is in danger, it is not so difficult to deal with!" If all the mighty cities can stop our army and hold back, after Liangquan, thousands of mountains and obstacles, many checkpoints, when will we be able to hit Chengdu? ”
"Du Shuai, I have my own considerations, I will wait for my subordinates, just follow the order and bring the soldiers well!" Shi Shouxin said.
Seeing his calm performance, Han Chongyun couldn't help but say: "Brother Shi, why don't you ask Du Shuai for his life to tackle key problems and attack with all his might, with the combat power of my inner temple, I may not be able to overcome it." As long as he is a walled defense, it will definitely cause it to shake the whole line! ”
"The generals of the armies are the least senior of us, how can this task of tackling key problems fall on our heads. The two generals, Gao and Wang, are staring at each other, although they are both forbidden troops, how can we compete with them? Shi Shouxin smiled and said a realistic problem.
"Alas! When I want to conquer Huai, although it lasted for half a year, I attacked the city and pulled out the village, broke the enemy's land, and always won continuously, until I swept Huainan and the Southern Tang Dynasty sued for peace, how happy it was! Han Chongyun began to think back and said: "It's like fighting Fengzhou, March without success, the only victory has nothing to do with us......
"The prince is in Qinzhou, but he has made some achievements, it seems that Chengji will be broken, if our army was assigned to the north road, it would be better than withering in this mountain range!" Han Chongyun said with emotion.
Listening to his words, Shi Shouxin's tone was a little harsh, and he admonished: "Brother Han, in the army, you should complain less, this hurts the heart of the army and is suspected of confusing the army!" ”
Seeing this, Han Chongyun immediately changed his face and said, "How can I be a person who doesn't know the importance of it, just talking to Brother Shi to relieve my boredom." It won't be long before winter begins, and when the weather turns cold, if you want to break through, there is really little hope! ”
Hearing this, Shi Shouxin's upright face showed that calm and confident smile, and said to Han Chongyun: "Don't worry, before the winter, Du Shuai will definitely have a move!" ”
"Could it be that you guessed Xiang Dushuai's thoughts?" Han Chongyun was suddenly curious.
"Didn't you notice that during this time, Du Shuai went to the camp and transported a large number of fire and oil bombs? There are also dozens of strengthened thunderbolts, which are a sharp weapon for our army to break through the city and conquer the pass! Shi Shouxin said.
Han Chongyun frowned and said, "Why don't you use it earlier?" ”
"One, the first battle of Huainan has attracted the attention of the world, how can the Shu army be unprepared? A few times ago, Wang Renzhen broke the cattle village, and the effect was not significant; Both, summer and autumn are rainy, the water vapor is vigorous, which is like now, the autumn is high and cool, the grass and trees are dry and dry......"
Han Chongyun is not a mediocre person, listening to his words, he somewhat understood: "Fire attack? ”
"The Shu army's walled city and company camp are located in a place with lush vegetation, aren't they waiting for our army to set fire? However, the oil fuels the fire, and the fire borrows the wind, which is enough to wipe out the Shu army! Shi Shouxin said.
"This is only a guess by you and me, and it is not enough to be humane to outsiders!" Shi Shouxin admonished.
"Understood!"
Lead the washed horse to a dry open space on the side, put on the reins of the horse, and put on the bridle. It happened that the Chinese army came to Dazhai to give an order, and the whole army was under martial law.
Murong Chengtai's side successfully received Liu Chengxun, and the two had not seen each other for nearly two years. Looking at Murong Chengtai, who was wrapped in armor, the black and strong, and his every move was full of the style of the army, Liu Chengxun couldn't help but be surprised: "Chengtai, I have been training in the army for two years, and I have changed a lot!" I'm impressed! ”
From Murong Chengtai, it is indeed difficult to see the frivolity of the past, but in the face of Liu Chengxun, he still showed a familiar smile: "Xiang Dushuai is strict in governing the army, and he serves under him, but I dare not put away my impetuousness." You know, when I first came, I was almost cut off by Feng Xiangya's soldiers for violating military law......"
Hearing Murong Chengtai's expression so natural, Liu Chengxun couldn't help but say: "If Uncle Huang knew your performance now, he would be very pleased!" ”
As he spoke, Liu Chengxun asked: "I heard that the war is not going well, and it is so difficult to break through the mighty city?" ”
Facing Liu Chengxun's questioning gaze, Murong Chengtai raised his head and said quite confidently: "It's just Shuguan, it's not difficult to break it, it's just that Xiang Shuai is sympathetic to the soldiers, and wants to find a way to reduce casualties to break the enemy!" ”
Liu Chengxun bowed his head and said: "The Shu Road is difficult, the pass is dangerous, along the way, I have personally experienced it, and I can understand Xiang Dushuai!" ”
"What's the matter, there are rumors in the court?" Murong Chengtai furrowed his eyebrows, and said in a somewhat inferior tone: "Those ministers who live in peace in the imperial court, have they made a speech to Your Majesty again?" ”
"I'm in Chang'an, how do I know about Tokyo?" Liu Chengxun waved his hand, as if he was reluctant to talk deeply about this topic, in other words: "This edict is just for my brother, come to condolence the soldiers!" ”
Looking at the fully loaded convoy on the post road behind, Murong Chengtai Yile: "What kind of labor and army did you bring?" ”
"I can't provide delicious food, it's just some wine and meat, and cold clothes! I can bring 300 carts of baggage on this trip! Liu Chengxun said.
"When a soldier fights, he is not particular about food, he can have wine and meat to enjoy, it is enough, and the military will be happy!" Murong Chengtai said scoldly: "Speed up, Xiang Dushuai and them, they are ready to meet them!" ”
All the way through the mountain road, over the neat and strict Han camps, the military style is neat, the appearance is Qi, so that Liu Chengxun is quite emotional: "The soldiers have been stationed for a long time, and the heroic posture of the soldiers has not decreased, worthy of the great Han heroes, the strongest soldiers in the world!" ”
Until the Chinese army Dazhai, under the leadership of Xiang Xun, the generals of all the armies have lined up to greet them. The pomp is significant, not only because of Liu Chengxun's identity as King Yong, but also because he represents the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, after all, he is under the command of the Labor Army.
"At the end of the general, the southwest capital will be deployed to Xun, see His Royal Highness King Yong, with armor on his body, he can't greet him with all the courtesy, and please forgive me!" Xiang Xun took the lead and gave a military salute.
Behind him, a cadre of generals greeted him neatly.
"Excuse yourself from the marshal, and the generals from the courtesy!" Liu Chengxun had a natural bearing, his face was light and light, and he waved his hand.
looked around, cleared his throat, and said aloud: "Soldiers, fighting for the country has taken many months and worked hard. Your Majesty is grateful for it, just because it is far away in Tokyo, it is difficult to come in person for a while. Therefore, this special life is lonely, come to reward the soldiers, in order to show compassion! ”
"Wait for the last general, thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Xiang Xun and the others, of course, knew who to thank, and bowed to the east.
"Your Highness has worked hard from afar, please go into the marshal tent to rest first!" Xiang Xun pleased.
"Thank you!"
It was another necessary greeting, but in the Han camp, it was lively, and the wine and meat carried by Liu Chengxun were quickly distributed to the battalions to reward the three armies. Just as Murong Chengtai said, under the reward of wine and meat, the military heart is happy, and the understanding of the grace of the Son of Heaven is also more profound.
That night, Xiang Xun set up a banquet in the handsome tent, and brought the crowd to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Liu Chengxun, the king of Yong. It was night, in the Han camp, the lights were bright, and the hustle and bustle lasted for a long time.
The movement of the Han camp naturally alarmed the Shu army in the mighty walled city, and was surprised by the publicity of the Han army.
Coach Li Tingqi was slightly moved, but he forcibly held back, and instead ordered to strengthen the garrison. As a result, the night was uneventful.
Of course, on the side of the Han army, how could it be unprepared, the army was carried out in turns, and Xiang Xun specially prepared an army to prepare for the Shu army.
