Chapter 19: Banquet Li's Clever Mistake, Meng Lang Breaks Shuo's Prescription (I)
More than ten miles west of Shuofang County, a new camp has been erected in the past two days, which is set up by the Koran Department who have just arrived here.
Building a camp is one of the basic military accomplishments of a senior general.
As a shogun, the Koji clan has its own family tradition in this regard.
Koji Lan and Koji Qiu are both descendants of the Koji family, and what they learned is of the same origin, and the camp they led to build is of course quite similar in shape. However, this battalion in Kojilan, because it was used in wartime, did not have as many soldiers in the two battalions as there were koji ball departments, so compared with the koji ball camp in Longxi, this battalion was smaller, and there was no large masonry work, and the materials were mostly local materials of earth and wood.
Despite this, there are still a lot of defensive measures in and out of the camp.
Outside the camp, trenches were dug and trees near the camp were cut down and extended, and hundreds of wooden stakes were planted in the open space around the camp. These stakes were designed to hinder the advance of enemy cavalry, including infantry.
The four corners of the camp are all towers, and the good-eyed officials take turns to be on duty.
The gate of the camp was closed, and the soldiers of the garrison were full of vigilance with spears and armor.
The four sides of the camp, like the large camp of koji balls, are subdivided into four areas: infantry, horseman, servant, and storage.
The main general's tent was also in the cavalry district.
Koji Lan is four years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, he is not as tall as Koji Qiu, Koji Shuang is tall, and his physique is not majestic, at first glance, it gives people the impression of being thin and thin, except for a standard Chinese face of the Koji family, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and Koji Qiu and Koji Shuang, everything else is very similar to his father.
Not only does he look similar to Koji Shuo, but in terms of personality, he also inherited Koji Shuo's caution.
Lilan frowned, after hearing the news of Sima finish speaking, he pressed his hands on his knees, raised his face, looked at the top of the tent for a while, stood up from his beard, paced in the tent for a while, made a decision, and said, "Pass the order out, don't pay attention to it!" ”
Na Sima is a Rong man, the former general of Koji Shuo, who has been in the army with the Koji family for a long time, and is known for his bravery.
He said unwillingly: "General! This is the second time that Gou Xiong's dog thing has provoked! This time he went even further than last time! sent a hundred and ten captives, put on women's skirts, smeared with grease and powder, opened their chests and exposed their arms, and shouted outside our camp, scolding the general that you are a turtle with a shrunken head! How can you bear it? General, the subordinate dared to ask for 200 elite cavalry, kill all the more than 100 captives, and give the general anger! ”
Koi Lan pondered for a moment, looked puzzled, scratched his head and said, "Strange! ”
Na Sima asked, "What's strange?" ”
"You say, this march is fighting, in the wilderness, not in the city, where did Meng Lang and Gou Xiong get the women's skirts and fat powder?"
Sima was stunned and said, "...... Maybe they brought singers and dancers with them? ”
Koran nodded and said, "That makes sense. He motioned to Na Sima, "Go down and pass my military orders to all the ministries." ”
was interrupted by Lilan, and Sima's impulse to ask for war was weakened by two points, and he knew that Lilan was a person with a lot of ideas, but the decisions he made would not be changed easily, so he also accepted the idea of asking for war, so he agreed to go out and gave the order.
In the tent, a scribe dressed as a Tang man asked, "General, I got the news with Shuofang County last night, and Zhao Yanli made an appointment with the general to attack Meng Lang and Gou Xiong together." Gou Xiong fought twice, and he was extremely insulted and contemptuous of our army, and the officers and men of all departments were indignant and ashamed. The morale is available, and the officials are foolish, and this is the time to work together with Zhao Yanli to break the thief! Why did the general insist on not coming out? ”
Koi Lan's tent sat north and faced south, and he couldn't see the direction of Shuofang County in the east from the tent door, but he subconsciously raised his eyes to look outside the tent, and said hesitantly, "The place where Sugu Wandu River crosses is a stone's throw away from Shuofang County. When Gou Xiong took advantage of the day of his half-crossing attack, Zhao Yanli in the city actually stood still and sat back and watched the defeat of the ten thousand soldiers!
"What did you do here? Like us, it was he who rescued him. When he asked for Tuoba Xianbei's assistance, Zhao Yanli was humble and courteous, and his son could give it up; When Su Guwan's soldiers and horses arrived, he was attacked by the enemy, but he sat back and did not save them.
"He can treat Su Guwan like this, and he can treat us like this! What is the 'inside and outside', this dog thing, I can't believe it! ”
The clerk was thoughtful and said, "The general is saying that Zhao Yanli is coaxing us?" ”
"Not bad! I see, this might be lying to us. deceived us into sending troops, and he may not be able to send troops. ”
The scribe couldn't figure it out, and asked, "What's in it for him?"
"Ten thousand soldiers have been defeated, I have heard nearly a thousand dead and wounded, the river cannot be crossed, and the rest of the troops have gone east and withdrawn to Shengle.
"If he coaxes our army to fight again, and he does not send troops out of the city to fight, resulting in the defeat of our army, our army will definitely return from all directions, then won't he just lose the two reinforcements he has worked so hard to recruit, and will be isolated from then on?"
"I don't know what this dog thinks, but if he doesn't save his bones, you and I will see it. Shuofang is not our country's land, we came to help it just by order, if Zhao Yanli is willing to work together with us, we will not quit the war; But since this dog thing is sold so cleanly and neatly, let's be careful, and learn from him, and sit back and watch for a while! ”
That's a good thing to say.
The scribe thought so and said, "General Takami! ”
The Lilan camp is to the southeast, about 30 miles away, and is the large camp of the Qin soldiers.
The Qin soldiers who failed to succeed in the battle against Lilan returned to the camp in the evening.
The generals who led the team gave Meng Lang and Gou Xiong their lives.
Gou Xiong listened, spat out, and said contemptuously, "Tiger father gives birth to a dog!" I want to be so big, with a great prestige, and give birth to a son, who is as timid as a mouse! I insulted him like this, and he could still shut up the camp! Hehe, I can bear it. ”
Meng Lang said with a smile: "The general was defeated, and the blood flowed and drifted, and the river was red." It is not surprising that Koran did not dare to fight. ”
After a pause, he said, "In case of a battle to block the bones, although we failed to achieve our army's pre-conceived plan,—— we will transfer Zhao Yanli out of the city and annihilate him in the field; However, the results are also abundant! Su Guwan withdrew his troops and returned to Shengle, which was one of the results of the battle; Sure enough, it shocked Koran and our army challenged twice, but he couldn't close the camp, which was the second result. This is all the work of the general.
"When Shuofang is captured in the coming day, and after returning to the dynasty, I will present the general's great achievements to the king in detail, and ask for a reward for the general!"
Gou Xiong snorted and said, "I don't want any reward, just Captain Sili!" ”
Meng Lang was dumbfounded, and said in his heart, "Why do you still remember this!" His expression remained unchanged, he changed the topic and said with a smile, "I watch the sky at night, and it should be sunny for half a month, and there should be no rain, which is conducive to the cavalry to turn to battle and attack." General, our next step can be implemented! ”
