Haozhou city head, defense Shi Guo Tingwei frowned, he has been looking at the Huai River for nearly half an hour, this nearly forty-year-old guard, beautiful appearance, studious, good at riding and shooting, this is the supervision of the army, but the defense made Huang Renqian see that the Zhou army is strong, it is actually a pretext to leave, Guo Tingwei is also considered to be on the line of fire to take over.

"General, Zhou Ting's letter of persuasion was torn up, why are you still so troubled, the city is windy, it's better to go down and rest first."

"Oh, if you are not anxious about this, you are thinking about Cai's pontoon bridge, if the Zhou soldiers are successfully built, it will become a big disaster for Shouhao, and if you want to get rid of it, can General Yang dare to fight?"

General Xiao Yang Ping was stunned for a moment, and replied: "There are only 5,000 defenders in the city, and 2,000 are going to defend Shuizhai and Yangma City, so how can they draw troops." ”

Guo Tingwei turned around, slowly walked down the city, and said as he walked, saying: "There are still troops crowded, the pontoon bridge is a danger, and the people in the city are panicked and a danger. ”

"I'm afraid there are a lot of people in this gathering, but how can there be such a big place in the city?"

"Big Buddha Temple."

Guo Ting said: "This matter will be handled by you, and another 200 sergeants will be assigned to guard it to prevent escape, and the matter of the pontoon bridge will be taken care of." ”

Yang Ping hurriedly said: "The pontoon bridge is related to the safety of Zhou soldiers, and it must be guarded by heavy soldiers, how can it be broken?" ”

Guo Tingwei stroked the short mustache on his lips and said with a smile: "The Zhou army has many cavalry, and it is difficult to compete by land, but our army is sharp with boats, who can compete with the waterway?" Now the spring rain is frequent, the Huai Stream is overflowing, it is the time when our warship is in the wind, a certain night to set off, there are 2,000 sailors, enough to destroy the bridge and break the village, you can wait to defend the city. ”

“…… Promise. ”

At the moment, the plan has been decided, it is the third watch of the night, Guo Ting said to order 30 fast boats, prepare more dry firewood and oil, etc., and set off quietly and sail against the river.

When the boat arrived at the mouth of the vortex, Zhou Bing was especially unconscious, Guo Ting was overjoyed, lined up ten fast boats full of firewood, lit a fire, and rushed to the pontoon bridge.

The commander of the Zhou army in charge of the pontoon bridge made Kang Yan wake up by the guards in the wine country, and when he came out of the tent to see, he saw that the river was red, and the village shouted to kill the sky, and the people were neighing on their horses, and Kang Yan was about to put on it, and a group of Tang soldiers had rushed towards the Chinese army like a mad tiger.

The bluffed Tang Yan's soul flew away, snatched the mount, hit the horse like flying, and fled into the night.

Guo Tingwei split the Chinese military tent with two knives, and when he saw that the tent was a mess, he couldn't help laughing hideously, held the torch with one hand, and shouted: "Burn, burn it all for Lao Tzu." ”

"Burn it......"

It was a battle, the Zhou soldiers were defeated, the pontoon bridge was destroyed, the dead were uncountable, and the grain and grass in the vortex village were destroyed.

When Han Lingkun heard the news and led the cavalry to help, Guo Tingwei had already boarded the boat and laughed and went down the river.

When Guo Rong heard the news, Long Yan was furious, held Kang Yan, and immediately ordered the beheading to be displayed to the public, and only after the bloody head was hung on the flagpole outside the line did the military meeting be held.

Guo Rong sat in the center, Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, Wang Yanchao, Bai Chongzan, and Wu Xingde on the left, and the two prime ministers who had just finished their affairs from Bianjing, Fan Zhen, Wang Pu and Li Gu, sat on the right.

Guo Rong said: "Today's discussion, discussing military arrangements, I originally planned to take this Shouzhou City in one go, but now it seems that it is necessary to divide the troops early." ”

"Yisheng, if it is besieged and the city is sieged with stones every day, how many troops are needed under this Shouzhou city?"

Li Chongjin hurriedly got up and said: "There are 10,000 and 50,000 foot soldiers, plus 20,000 people, when the water that can be surrounded is impassable, and the siege operation continues." ”

Guo Rong nodded and said, "That being the case, Yisheng, you are still deployed for the city of Shouzhou, and Wang Qing will cooperate until it is captured." ”

"Yes."

"In addition, I plan to divide the troops into four ways, how about the secretaries?"

Wang Pu said: "Please show the saint, and the ministers are willing to hear the details." ”

Guo Rong got up and marked the map with a red pen, "On the first road, the generals will be ten thousand soldiers, and they will seize the pontoon bridge again, and at the same time attack Haozhou." ”

"The second way, 10,000 generals, out of the Tang Dynasty, attack Lushu, all the way to Huangqi Erzhou."

"The third road, with the iron cavalry, the crane control, the dragon Jie, and the tiger jie as the main force, the troops are sent to clear the stream."

"This fourth road is a strange soldier, led by Cao Bin and Qin Yue, leading a group of young men and leading a thousand cavalry, specializing in surprise attacks, disturbing the enemy, and cutting off food, and cooperating with all kinds of armies to fight."

Wang Pu said: "The first three roads are good, but the fourth road is a little confused, as far as the minister knows, Cao Bin is young, Qin Yue's age seems to be younger, and I don't know which young children are involved, the military array is a major event, the minister thinks it is better to be safe first." ”

Guo Rong said with a smile: "These sons, Li Xiang is all familiar, nothing more than the Bai family, the martial family, and the Wu family, although they are not very old, but what I want is their courage to dare to break through." ”

Li Gu said: "It turned out to be these kids, Cao Bin has a strategy, Qin Yue has a quick wit, plus Bai Xingba, Wu Jilie, Shi Cheng, and Jia Yin are all brave, but they can give it a try, but let them run aimlessly?" ”

"We have our own goals, and this path is directly under my command. Righteous voice, hug one, what do you two think? ”

Li Chongjin said: "Chen Cang of the Huya Battalion is quite brave and resolute, why don't you let him lead the troops?" ”

Zhang Yongde said with a smile: "Chen Cang is silent, it is estimated that he can't get along with those boys in Guohua, and most of the Huya battalion is still infantry, and it is indispensable to lead the generals, but there is a separate Shanyue battalion in his battalion, and the land of Shuhuang is mountainous, so his battalion can be added to the second road army." ”

"Well, what you said makes sense, this Fourth Route Army is so decided, and young people always have to experience one or two. The other three route armies, all the secretaries, who is the right leader to lead? ”

Fan Qian, who had never spoken, said: "General Wu is brave, old and strong, and can be deployed for the city of Haozhou." ”

Wang Pu said: "The courage of General Wu is known to the whole world, and it is suitable for this position." ”

"Okay, Wuqing, Haozhou will be handed over to you."

Wu Xingde got up and saluted, "The minister receives the order." ”

Guo Rong waved his hand to signal him to take a seat, and asked, "Who is suitable for Southwest Road?" ”

Li Gu said: "Although Lu and Shu are heavily guarded, but not as much as the southeast defense, the minister recommended Guo Lingtu as the main general and the right to know Shuzhou, Wang Xianqi, Si Chao two generals deputy, one wisdom, one courage and one stability, can be complementary." ”

"The person recommended by Li Xiang is exactly what I want, but as for the third way, I have my own opinion, I plan to let Han Lingkun be the main general, and Song Jiuzhong will be the ......."

"No."

"Think twice."

It is Li Gu who says that it is impossible, and it is Fan who says that he thinks twice.

Fan said: "This army is the most elite, not to be lightly damaged, it should be commanded by the old man who holds the weight, General Li, General Zhang, General Wang, and General Bai are all suitable, although Han Lingkun has the ability, but he has no experience in commanding the army, so he is not enough to take on this great task, and Song Jiuzhong is only strong in martial arts, so it is very inappropriate to partner like this." ”

Wang Pu and Li Gu both got up and said, "What Fan Xiang said is very true, and the minister seconded it. ”

"Yisheng, hug one, what about your two opinions?"

Li Chongjin said: "The minister recommended General Wang to partner with Han Lingkun, Desheng is calm, Ling Kun is brave, they are all battle-hardened generals, and they are more than Song Jiuzhong." ”

Zhang Yongde said: "Han Lingkun, Song Jiuzhong, and the ministers are all familiar with each other, but the ministers are also a little uneasy about handing over this elite to them. ”

Guo Rong nodded and said: "Wang Qing and Bai Qing are both safe people, but Yisheng needs Wang Qing's cooperation, and I also need General Bai to take charge of the deployment of the imperial camp.

In the past year, the old and weak have been eliminated, and the forbidden army has been selected and trained, and such a difficult bone can be eaten, and the result is far beyond my expectations, which shows his ability to be a person, both civil and military, and let him match Han Lingkun, which is the most suitable. ”

Wang Pu said: "But this is the elite of my three armies, and I can't afford to lose, please think twice." ”

"Because it's an elite, I have to let it go out to fight, besides, it's 10,000 soldiers and horses, and I take this risk."

Seeing that Guo Rong had made up his mind, everyone stopped talking, and Li Gu was in a hurry, and said, "The saint has forgotten Wang Wenbo's words?" ”

Guo Rong said proudly: "Wang Pu's words are still in my heart, but so what's the matter, I can use his ability, it's enough." ”
