Chapter 1144: A Trick to Trap Soldiers
On the official road in the north of Bozhou, a middle-aged man wearing a gauze hat is riding a horse slowly, followed by more than a dozen soldiers, this man is Yangzhou Assassin Wang Jinian, he was ordered by the Jin King Guo Song to temporarily go to Bozhou to serve as the refugee camp commander Shi, responsible for taking care of hundreds of thousands of war refugees who fled from Songzhou.
Wang Qinian was born in the Wang family in Jiangnan, and in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, his family was the most powerful family in Jiangnan, and had the reputation of 'king and horse, sharing the world'.
After hundreds of years, the Jiangnan Wang family has gradually declined, while the Taiyuan Wang family has flourished in the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Jinnian was reused by Chen Shaoyou, the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, and was promoted from the county order to the long history, and then from the long history to the Chuzhou assassin history, and then from the Chuzhou assassin history to the Yangzhou assassin with a higher official rank.
He himself is indeed outstanding, and he governs Yangzhou in an orderly manner, and even after Zhu Zhu captured Yangzhou, Liu Sigu strongly recommended him to continue to serve as the assassin.
When he was the assassin in Chuzhou, Li Xilie was in Jianghuai, and a large number of people fled from Huaibei to Chuzhou, there were more than 100,000 people, he lacked food, people and tents, but in the end he took good care of more than 100,000 refugees, this is his experience, not to mention that now there is no shortage of anything, he doesn't have to worry.
It's just that His Royal Highness the King of Jin took a fancy to himself and asked him to pick up this burden, Wang Jinnian guessed that the political hall recommended him, which means that his achievements in Yangzhou have been affirmed, which makes Wang Jinnian's heart full of expectations, is it that after the end of Yangzhou's term, he will be able to enter the court as an official?
At this time, a soldier pointed to a city in the distance and shouted: "Envoy, that is Qian County!" ”
Wang Jinnian nodded and smiled: "I've walked all the way, and I've finally arrived!" ”
A group of cavalry in the distance rushed over, rushed to the front of him in a moment, and the first general hugged his fists and said: "May I ask if you are the king from Yangzhou?" ”
Wang Jinnian nodded, "I am!" ”
The general hurriedly said: "The humble post is Zhonglang General Zhao Wei, who came to welcome the arrival of the assassin on the order of General Yang Meng!" “
Wang Jinnian was not surprised that Yang Meng sent someone to greet him, he had already sent one of his subordinates to report the news yesterday.
He smiled slightly: "Hard work General Zhao, General Yang Meng is available now?" ”
"In the refugee camp, he is already anxious, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and looking forward to the early arrival of Wang Tingshi."
Wang Jinnian smiled, "General Zhao is too exaggerated!" ”
"Nope! No! The lowly position is not exaggerated at all, and the envoy will know when he goes. ”
.........
Everyone came all the way to the refugee camp, which is located in the north of Qian County, only two miles away from the county seat, and the camp is stationed horizontally and stretches for more than ten miles.
At this time, Yang Meng was already waiting at the gate of the camp, he was looking forward to the arrival of Wang Qinian, his neck was really sour, although he also had a few civil officials, but none of them had experience in dealing with refugees, and they did not have the ability to deal with Wang Yu.
Basically, all the burdens are on Yang Meng, there are already more than 200,000 refugees in the camp, eating and drinking every day, which brings great pressure to Yang Meng, making him busy every day, and all kinds of troubles are piled up.
"General, they're coming!" A soldier shouted as he pointed to a group of people in the distance.
Yang Meng was overjoyed, turned around and said sharply to several civil officials: "Wang Tingshi is personally appointed by His Royal Highness the King of Jin to be in charge of refugee affairs, you must not be rude, you must not be slack, otherwise military law will be engaged!" ”
Several civil servants were so frightened that Nono agreed.
Not long after, Wang Jinnian and his entourage came to the front, and Yang Meng stepped forward and laughed: "Wang Tingshi, I finally looked forward to you!" ”
Wang Jinian turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and smiled: "Let General Yang wait for a long time!" ”
"It doesn't matter if you wait, I'm afraid that Wang Tingshi won't come!"
"How so? King Jin's order, how dare I disobey! ”
————
Yang Meng enthusiastically grabbed his arm and introduced him to several civil officials, this time Wang Jinian did not bring his subordinates with him, he asked these civil officials to assist.
Wang Jinnian greeted everyone very politely, he was surrounded by everyone and came to the big tent, Yang Meng held a simple handover ceremony in the big tent, and finally handed over the power of the refugee camp to Wang Jinnian, and he was also relieved.
"Wang Envoy, even if you open your mouth, only I have it, and I will satisfy you!" Yang Meng smiled heartily.
"It's hot now, and we don't need much food, tents, medicinal herbs, etc., but the important thing is manpower."
Wang Jinnian is very experienced, and he knows that sufficient manpower is the most important thing, and the others are necessary materials such as food and tents.
"The food is enough, there are 30,000 marching tents in the tents now, and another batch will be sent soon, and it is estimated that there are tens of thousands, as for the manpower, I will give Mr. 10,000 troops, is it enough?"
Wang Jinnian was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "If you don't have 10,000 troops, 3,000 people are enough, in addition, it's best to have more scholars, if there are only a few civil officials, the number is still a little less." ”
"No problem, Qian County is a state government, there are many officials, and schools, I found hundreds of people before, but I felt that it was useless, so I let them go back, if the envoy needs it, I will call them all back."
Wang Jinnian smiled slightly: "How can the scribe be useless, it's just that the general's method is wrong, please ask the general to send someone to summon them all back, the scribe is very important." ”
"Good! I'll arrange it. ”
Yang Meng hugged his fists and saluted, and hurriedly went out of the tent.
Wang Jinnian smiled at several civil officials again: "Let's go!" Let's go to the camp and find out about the situation. ”
Several civil officials hurriedly set up camp, and everyone surrounded Wang Jinnian and walked towards the camp outside.
.........
In the northern part of Songzhou, an army of 60,000 men marched on the official road, next to the Bianhe River, and a fleet of boats slowly drove in Hanoi, full of grain and grass supplies.
The army had already passed through Xiangyi County and Ningling County, and was heading for Songcheng County, which was eighty miles away.
At this time, a scout cavalry rushed over, galloped along the ranks, and came to the banner of Shuai in a moment, and the scout saluted Wang Zhongmou with his fists: "Qiqi Marshal, the enemy army was found thirty miles ahead, about 10,000 people!" ”
Wang Zhongmou frowned, how come there are only 10,000 people, it's a bit wrong!
"Are the 10,000 troops waiting where they are, or are they coming towards us?" Wang Zhongmou asked again.
"Returning to the handsome, it's waiting in place!"
"Probe!"
"Obey!" The scout saluted and galloped away.
Wang Zhongmou pondered for a moment and asked the deputy general Zhou Long, "What do you think?" ”
Zhou Long thought for a while and said: "Great marshal, Qiu Jingzhong is good at winning with surprise soldiers, and he thinks that in the plain area, he can't use the terrain to win, or he lures the enemy to go deeper, and he ambushes us halfway." ”
"Do you think he's using 10,000 troops as bait?"
"The humble position thinks so, the marshal can ask General Zhang's thoughts again."
The general Zhang mentioned by Zhou Long refers to Zhang Ting'an, the general of the Tiger Benwei Zuo, who is also Wang Zhongmou's deputy general, Zhang Ting'an is Xiao Wanding's general, and does not belong to Leopard Taowei, even if it is out of respect, you need to ask his opinion.
Wang Zhongmou nodded, and ordered his own soldiers: "Go and invite General Zhang Ting'an!" ”
The soldiers urged the horses to gallop away, and after a while, the deputy general Zhang Ting'an brought over, Zhang Ting'an commanded 10,000 cavalry, they walked to the middle of the team, and did not be with Wang Zhongmou.
"What's the boss looking for me?" Zhang Tingan immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Just now the scout came to report, 10,000 enemy troops were found in front, we suspect that this is a decoy, what does the general think?"
Zhang Ting'an was very proud, and the 10,000 cavalry he commanded was one of the two rare cavalry in Zhu Zhu's army, and the other cavalry was 8,000 palace guards.
It is precisely because of the command of the cavalry and Zhang Ting'an's own seniority that he has always been an otherworldly existence, even to Xiao Wanding, he has always been cold, not to mention Leopard Taowei, who has nothing to do with him.
Zhang Tingan sneered and said, "May I ask the commander, does the other party have cavalry?" ”
Wang Zhongmou couldn't understand what he meant, so he had to answer honestly: "There should be no cavalry?" ”
"In that case, then we will cut off his retreat with cavalry, and the marshal will lead the army to swallow this bait in one gulp."
Wang Zhongmou pondered for a moment and said: "The old traitor who respects loyalty with hatred, he should have thought that we would do this, I think it's better to be cautious." ”
"The commander is too worried, the advantage of the cavalry is that it runs at high speed, even if it is surrounded by the opposing infantry, the cavalry can quickly get rid of the other party, but if we seize this opportunity, we can win and greatly boost morale."
Wang Zhongmou saw that Zhang Ting'an was bent on sending troops, so he no longer insisted, nodded and said: "In this case, General Zhang can lead his headquarters to go around behind the enemy from the north, and catch them off guard, and the commander will lead the army to respond!" ”
"Obey!"
Zhang Tingan immediately led 10,000 cavalry to the northeast and circled behind the opponent, and Wang Zhongmou immediately ordered to speed up the march.
Under the leadership of Wang Zhongmou, an army of 50,000 began to trot towards Songcheng County........
