On the side of Liu Chengyou's army, indiscriminately felling forests, and setting up a village along the ridge, it has already become a camp, and the whole looks a little random, and there is no strict and neat Han camp on weekdays.

"Brother Zhongqing!" In front of the imperial tent, the person on duty was Pan Mei, standing with a knife on his shoulder, heroic and extraordinary, and a small call attracted his attention.

The eagle-like sharp gaze swept towards the comer, not reducing the vigilance, and only then did he ease up when he saw the comer. The person who came was a sturdy military academy, unusually young, Pan Mei's friend, Fengchen Camp Colonel, Ma Renyu.

stepped forward to stop it, noticing that Ma Renyu was holding a few notes in his hand, Pan Mei asked, "Renyu, why are you here?" ”

"Please inform Your Majesty that I have an urgent military report!" Ma Renyu said.

"Huh?" Suspicion flashed in her eyes, and Pan Mei said, "What military situation do you have, to cross Li Jiang?" ”

The Li General in Pan Mei's mouth is the current commander of the Fengchen battalion, Li Jixun, who was promoted by Liu Chengyou after Wang Yansheng and Shi Yanchao were successively transferred to the guards. Li Jixun, no need to be introduced, is one of the "Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society" in the original history of Zhao Kuangyin.

Hearing this, Ma Renyu said: "The matter is urgent, and I can't take care of it much." Besides, didn't Your Majesty say that Fengchen Camp is his Imperial Forest Army, and he can directly face the king! ”

"You wait!"

In the tent, Liu Chengyou put down the pen in his hand to approve military affairs, looked at Ma Renyu, who was burly and resolute, and still had a childish face, and chuckled: "You, the tiger lieutenant in the Fengchen camp, do you have any urgent military requirements to see me?" ”

Hearing this, Ma Renyu held the notes in both hands, presented them, and said: "Your Majesty, I took the lead in commanding the battalion soldiers, cruising on the side of the Tang camp. I and my soldiers bent our bows and shot five of them. The pigeon was found with these notes tied to its legs.

The young general took it apart and found that it was Chen Jue, the chief general of the Tang Army, and sent it to Xu Wenzhen's army, reminding him to be careful of my Han iron cavalry robbery! Chen Si this time,"

After listening, Liu Chengyou really became interested, took the note, looked at it slightly, and said: "I never thought that there were carrier pigeons in the Tang Army!" The transmission of the general's affection is pinned on this beast and bird, it seems that this Chen Jue is also in a hurry! ”

Immediately, Liu Chengyou's interest looked off, his eyes were bright, and he looked at Ma Renyu: "This flying pigeon, small and agile, can shoot it, it can be seen that the archery is high, and it lives up to my name of Fengchenying!" ”

Facing the praise of the Son of Heaven, Ma Renyu grinned, and then realized that something was wrong, and said to Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, the ministers did not shoot down all the flying pigeons, if you let the remaining dry beasts send the warning message, the enemy army is prepared, I am afraid that it will affect my iron cavalry to rob and kill!" ”

"No hurry!" Liu Chengyou still showed a calm and breezy expression, and motioned to Pan Mei: "Zhongxun, what do you think?" ”

Pan Mei thought for a while and said: "The folk breed carrier pigeons, and the sending of letters requires flying pigeons to be familiar with the terrain and climate. Moreover, as His Majesty said, the use of flying pigeons to convey military information is too omissional, and it is doubtful whether these letterheads can be successfully transmitted to Xu Jun.

In addition, how to chase them after not all of them were shot down. Xu Wenzhen has been nearly fifty miles, if my iron cavalry spares no horsepower, an hour can be attacked, the strength of the army has come to this point, with the momentum of breaking the bamboo to cover it, even if it is resting, in a hurry to prepare, not to worry.

Therefore, we just need to wait for the arrival of the good news of Murong Duyu Marquis! ”

Liu Chengyou looked at Ma Renyu, and there was a sense of love between his words: "Zhong Xun's words, have you ever understood it?" ”

Ma Renyu shook his head, and couldn't help but shake his head, and then reacted and muttered: "In this way, isn't the end general's efforts in vain?" ”

"That's true!" Liu Chengyou waved his hand: "At least let me see your archery skills, plus your sense of smell in military strategy, you can become a general one day!" ”

Hearing Liu Chengyou say this, Ma Renyu was immediately happy and smiled. Liu Chengyou slowly rolled up those notes, ordered Zhang Dejun to return them to him, and said: "Take these notes, go back to the camp and hand them to Li Jixun, tell him what happened to him, and let him give you a credit!" ”

"Yes!" A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and Ma Renyu answered obediently.

Salute and exit the account. Looking at the strong tiger posture, Liu Chengyou said to Pan Mei: "What a young hero, Fengchen Hushi!" This Ma Renyu is only eighteen years old now! "Ivy

When he was on duty under Guo Rong, Pan Mei was like a brother to Ma Renyu, and he also took good care of him. After being transferred to the forbidden army, he was valued by His Majesty and promoted to the Fengchen camp, where he learned literature and martial arts, and sharpened his combat skills. Nowadays, it is like a sharpened sword, with a sharp edge, and now it is on the battlefield, and the heart of meritorious service is ......"

Looking at Pan Mei, Liu Chengyou has a better impression of her, in addition to being a general, in terms of life, he is humble and benevolent, and he also has the style of a gentleman.

"Not only Ma Renyu, you Pan Zhongxun, in my eyes, isn't it a peerless sword?" Liu Chengyou stared at Pan Mei with blazing eyes.

Slightly surprised, Pan Mei still respectfully expressed her humility: "The minister doesn't dare to be!" ”

"Don't you dare to be?" Liu Chengyou played with the taste: "When I heard that I was in the township, I said to the villagers that today, it is the time for the husband to work hard and shine on the lintel." If you don't have the ambition and spirit to be the first, how can you make contributions? ”

Seeing that the Son of Heaven mentioned what he said in the township, Pan Mei was surprised, and couldn't help but worship: "Thank you for your majesty's honor!" ”

"You and Ma Renyu have been in the forbidden army for nearly three years!" Liu Chengyou said.

Pan Mei replied: "Exactly, the ministers were recommended by Guo Zhijun to enter Beijing in the second year of Qianyou!" ”

Q&A, Liu Chengyou's eyes were deep, and his tone gradually said solemnly: "Among the forbidden army, there are too many young and handsome men like the two of you. After three years of sharpening the sword, it will eventually need to be unsheathed, and this southern expedition will be able to wait for the time to forge ahead and drink blood to make contributions! ”

Listening to Liu Chengyou's words, Pan Mei's eyes flashed with a trace of eagerness, a trace of firmness, and she clenched her fists.

......

When the sun set in the west, the sky was getting dark, and when he walked out of the imperial tent, Liu Chengyou blew a cold wind, and Mi Dun's mind suddenly cleared up a lot, and he couldn't help frowning when he looked at Tang Ying in the southwest.

Stretching his waist, Wang Quanbin, the commander of the Fengguo Army, came to report: "Your Majesty, the Tang Army still has no movement, it seems that it does not have the idea of going out of the camp and fighting." This Chen Jue, so cowardly, sitting on a large army, was indifferent when he had this opportunity! ”

"That's it!" Liu Chengyou raised his hand: "Withdraw the soldiers who set up an ambush, work hard for a day, and let everyone live and recuperate!" ”

"Yes!"

"Although Chen Jue is timid, his people's hearts are unpredictable, and he needs to be careful when camping at night. In case, this Chen Jue's brain suddenly turned around and the attack on the camp came, he couldn't be unprepared! Liu Chengyou advised.

Wang Quanbin said calmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured!" ”

For Wang Quanbin, who has rich combat experience, to the point where he is camping and preparing for the defense is the most basic quality.

In fact, Chen felt fortunate that he was "cowardly" to the end, and he was not moved by Xian Shilang's suggestion. On Liu Chengyou's side, he synthesized the enemy situation with Wang Jun, Murong Yanzhao and others, and made a decision to take Xu Wenzhen's army in the south first.

There are two main considerations for fighting Xu Wenzhen's army: one is that its soldiers are outnumbered, the good and the bad are mixed, and the combat effectiveness is slightly lower; Second, it has too much weight, the march is slow, and it is far from the rear, which is a good opportunity to divide and annihilate.

Although he didn't understand it, Chen Jue arranged it like this, not gathering all the troops and needs together, but dozens of miles away to respond. But for the opportunity sent to him, how can the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty not seize it.

In one day, the Han cavalry had already cut off the connection between the two Tang armies, and hurriedly sent Murong Yanzhao and Han Tong to personally lead the iron cavalry and Long Jie 8,000 cavalry, and quickly went south to rob and kill them.

Of course, Chen Jue still has a plan. is planning that the Tang army will take advantage of him to divide his troops and attack with heavy troops. On the Han camp's side, the bait has been set up and the pockets have been arranged, but it's a pity that they waited in vain.

However, although Chen Jue is in the future, Liu Chengyou does not have too much regrets, after all, there is no main horse army, with the remaining more than 10,000 steps, even if he can defeat Chen Jue, it will be difficult to do his best, and the price of casualties will not be less.
