Chapter 20 Exploring the Camp
Hearing Lu Zheng's words, Xue Ne didn't know what he thought in his heart, but he was quite generous, so Xue Ne didn't say it better, if he really made a great contribution, he would report to the imperial court to give him the official position of the head of the Anbei Metropolitan Protector History. Lu Zheng had long wanted to transfer to another position, so he hurriedly agreed. This long-history position, which can also give advice under Wang Hui, and can lead the army to fight alone, is also a position that Lu Zheng thinks about day and night.
So Lu Zheng said again: "If I can't complete this task, I am willing to deal with General Xue." ”
Xue Ne saw that Lu Zheng was very refreshed, and saw that Wang Hui also nodded at this time, Wang Hui knew Lu Zheng well, Lu Zheng would not joke in the army, and he also knew the consequences of encountering the Tubo army, if it were not for the burning of jade, it would be difficult to predict life and death.
At this time, Lu Zheng said again: "Although I only need more than ten horsemen, I still have a request, when I sneak into the hinterland of the Tubo army and find the location of the Tubo army, I will send a signal on the spot, waiting for the army to defeat the Tubo." ”
"In this way, you will not have no way to retreat, this Tibetan army will definitely bite and hold on, and there will be no way to escape at that time."
An Sishun said in surprise, and cast a respectful look at the young man in front of him.
All the generals in the seat knew that this was a risky move, but Lu Zheng wanted to do it, and even Wang Hui couldn't figure out what Lu Zheng's plan was at this time. But Wang Hui has to say after all, if Lu Zheng has an accident, he will lose a confidant, he doesn't want Lu Zheng to die in this wilderness.
So he said: "I don't know what your good plan Lu Zheng has, but I think that if you find out the enemy camp, don't joke with your own life, you should send someone to ask for help from the army, and you must not be exposed to the sight of the enemy army." ”
But Lu Zheng said with a little conceit: "Don't worry, teacher, I naturally have this idea, and I have made sufficient preparations. ”
Seeing that Lu Zheng was so confident, Wang Hui couldn't forcibly stop this move, but let it come as he wanted. Several generals in the audience were extremely surprised, and said to Lu Zheng again and again that if he could return victoriously, the army would hold a banquet to celebrate his achievements. And Xue Ne still agreed, promising that when he came back, he would play His Majesty, and Lu Zheng, who now has no formal official position, was promoted to the governor of Anbei Prefecture.
In fact, Lu Zheng felt that this banquet did not have to be organized, but that position in the long history was indeed tempting, and he was not officially recognized now. If this name is not right, his words will not go well, and if he does not go well, he will not succeed, so this effective position of long history will be won by himself.
So after Lu Zheng surrendered his hand to all the generals one by one, he walked out of the tent, and after selecting a few capable assistants in the army, he instructed these people to take off the robes of the Tang Army and change the clothes of the captured enemy soldiers. Only then did those soldiers realize what Lu Zheng meant, and took advantage of the darkness to use the enemy's clothes as protection and went deep into the enemy's garrison.
In fact, Lu Zheng has long realized this good strategy, but he has not been put into practice in his heart, and now this plan can come in handy. Lu Zheng and several horsemen went out of the gate at this time, each carrying a longbow and a sharp sword, as well as some food, which showed Lu Zheng's confidence in wanting to explore the enemy for a long time.
Lu Zheng just walked along the river out of Yuanmen, only the reed grass that was not tall was swaying in the wind around him, and more than ten riders behind Lu Zheng were swinging their long whips and speeding in the reeds.
Lu Zheng thought that he should rush to the vicinity of Shanzhou when it was dark, because it was most likely to be the camp of Tubo, and according to the battle report, Tubo could retreat to Tubo here, and then enter Weizhou, and deal with the Tang army in the area of Taozhou.
Lu Zheng This is his first action against the enemy, although it is only a reconnaissance of the enemy, but he is still in trouble, and only a dozen horsemen are likely to go and have no return.
At this time, Lu Zheng casually moved his gaze to the bank of the river, and the almost dry riverbed could be seen at a glance, and he galloped for only a hundred miles, until the place where the river was dry, and some herdsmen were migrating at the source.
Lu Zheng reined in his horse and looked at the team of herdsmen in the distance, he knew in his heart these scattered homeless, so he followed the team of these homeless people and continued to gallop forward. Lu Zheng inadvertently saw a young child sitting in the carriage, and his pitiful eyes seemed to be frozen in his eyes.
The young child's weak body made Lu Zheng feel frightened, and he couldn't help but think of the innocent herdsmen who died in this battle, all of which were lessons of blood.
At this time, some herdsmen actually surrounded and blocked Lu Zheng's road, Lu Zheng had no choice but to dismount and bow his hand to the scattered herdsmen, and those herdsmen still did not have the consciousness to disperse.
Lu Zheng had no choice but to say: "Fathers and elders, we are the Tang Army Sentinel, this Tang Army camp tent is over there, and the military camp can naturally receive you, please don't block the way, let us go over." ”
The soldier next to him also dismounted and said, "General Lu, these homeless people are blocking the road, it is better to disperse them to demonstrate strictness." ”
"I just said that the big camp can receive these displaced people, how can you use force, it is better to distribute the food you bring to these hungry people."
After Lu Zheng handed over the food to the hungry people, it was almost looted, and Lu Zheng drove his horse forward again, although the soldiers next to him were unhappy, but Lu Zheng insisted on it.
Lu Zheng also understands the knot in the heart of the person in distress, just for the little food, if he doesn't give it, or hide it in his pocket, it is difficult to feel at ease, and relieving the people's livelihood is what Lu Zheng learned the most under Wang Hui, and this persistent heart for the people is also worth practicing for Lu Zheng.
After Lu Zheng galloped to the vicinity of Shanzhou City, he really saw some scattered Tubo troops grabbing cattle and sheep, and this Tubo army always scattered its forces, using one to involve the main force of the Tang army, while the other was looting from it. However, this is also the consistent style of the nomads, and it has not changed from beginning to end.
When Lu Zheng and the accompanying soldiers were lying on the hillside, looking at the few Tubo soldiers sitting around and laughing and talking freely, and there was a yurt house next to him, Lu Zheng said in a low voice: "I want those Tubo soldiers to live, you go around and block the bottom, and you must not let the Tubo soldiers escape." ”
As soon as Lu Zheng's words fell, several soldiers went around to the back, and then Lu Zheng said: "Wait a minute, look at my gesture, rush up directly, and the people behind will shoot arrows at the legs of the Tubo soldiers, so that they can't attack normally." ”
Lu Zheng poked his head out again, and saw those Tubo soldiers chewing roasted meat in their mouths, and there was still roast venison burning next to them.
Suddenly, Lu Zheng's hand fell, and the two soldiers behind rushed up, and at this time, the Tubo soldiers were just about to pick up their bows and crossbows, but they were shot in the knee by several arrows from behind, and then fell to the ground and struggled.
