169: Seeking War

Before the news of Han Lingkun's defeat reached the Southern Tang Dynasty, Guo Rong knew the beginning and the end, although Han Lingkun said that he used Song Jiuzhong's arrogant soldiers to lure the enemy, but the loss of nearly 1,000 elites is an indisputable fact, Guo Rong was heartbroken, and thought of the "dragon and tiger horse" that once flew to capture Yangzhou City.

Reinforcements in the line of fire.

Qin Yue Jiayin and the others couldn't wait to set off immediately, and then they found that few of Bai Xingba and the others were spiritual.

Cao Bin led the army to the south for only fifty miles, and the sun had not yet turned west, so he arranged to camp, had a meal, and washed up, and then launched a plan to convene a military meeting.

"Everyone knows the purpose of this dispatch, and I repeat it again, Han Lingkun led the army to attack Qingliu Pass, and the forward was repelled by the Tang army, suffered heavy damage, and retreated thirty miles in defeat, and was repairing according to the river. My ministry is responsible for reinforcements, but how is the reinforcement law? Whether it is to directly lead the troops to converge with Han Lingkun's troops or cooperate with the battle from afar, everyone will talk about it. ”

Bai Xingba said dissatisfiedly: "I want to know, his army is all the elite of the forbidden army, and the iron cavalry battalion alone took away five battalions, why was it defeated?" ”

Cao Bin said: "Song Jiuzhong is the vanguard envoy, leading the troops first, and he was ambushed, so he should be rash against the enemy, but he said that he was tempting the enemy, so let's believe it." ”

Zhang Tong cursed, slammed the wine barrel to the ground, and said, "Since it is to lure the enemy, then according to what he said, there is no need to help him." ”

Shi Cheng used a knife to cut the slices of meat to feed Xiaohu Kui, and responded: "Since it was Song Jiuzhong's defeat, then I didn't feel that I should help him, why did he take the elite of the whole army and defeat the battle, let him go to the saint by himself to ask for his guilt." ”

He, like Zhang Tong, was disarmed last year, and the family suffered a big dark loss, and it turned out that his father's descendants were cleared, and once there was no one in the army, the good days would naturally end, so he was very disgusted with Song Jiuzhong, who presided over the disarmament.

And Bai Xingba and Wu Jilie are also dissatisfied with them in their hearts, but the elite of the family has been drawn into the forbidden army for hundreds of years, so they also shouted in favor, saying that everyone should go for a ride.

Cao Bin said with a smile: "Victory and defeat are normal things, everyone is more open-minded, and he himself doesn't want to lose the battle, Jiulang, what do you think?" ”

Qin Yue pointed to Yutu and said: "Han Lingkun's troops are facing the enemy in front of Qingliu Mountain, and the three armies of Mabu are gathered together, I think that it is too cautious, and the strength of the iron cavalry has not fully played its role."

If our unit goes directly to join with it, in fact, it will not increase its effect, but will increase its burden because of the increase in troops.

You see, there is a distance of nearly 50 miles from Chuzhou to Qingliu Pass, if our army suddenly appears under the city of Chuzhou, what will the Tang army react to pressing its heavy troops at Qingliu Pass? ”

Cao Bin said: "The Tang army is known as 100,000, at least 50,000 troops, although it has lost two battles in front of Han Lingkun before, but the losses are limited, excluding the wounded, the Chuzhou defenders and Qingliu Pass have at least 40,000 horses, no matter where they are randomly divided into 35,000, it is enough for us to bear."

If it is interspersed with roundabout harassment, in fact, for the Tang army who is bent on guarding the city, the impact is not great. ”

Wu Kui said: "I think it's better to join forces with Han Lingkun all the way, and it is a hand to be able to help." ”

Zhang Tong kicked him and said, "If you want to go, I still think it's better to deal with it outside." ”

Bai Xing said domineeringly: "I also feel that Jiulang's method can be tried, the problem is that we are not familiar with Chuzhou, this time, it is a bit of a blind cat hitting a mouse, and I have no bottom in my heart." ”

Qin Yue said: "If you don't have a bottom, you have to try, it's always good to be able to contain one or two, in case we bump into the road of good luck like Yangzhou." ”

Cao Bin laughed and said: "It's beautiful, or it's just settled, and the soldiers will go to Chuzhou to make a mess...... Hey, Huzi, what are you doing in a daze? ”

"Oh, I'm not in a daze, I'm thinking about ......" Jia Yin paused and said, "I'm thinking that Song Jiuzhong may really be a fraud." ”

"Fraud?"

Jia Yin nodded affirmatively and said, "He has fought with my Arhat master, and he doesn't dare to take any risks when he competes in martial arts, and I don't think he will take risks when he leads the army to fight."

My master said that this person belongs to the turtle, and if he thinks about defeat in advance and then wins, he will not be able to get ahead if he doesn't see it, so his defeat may be really a deceitful defeat. ”

Qin Yue patted Jia Yin's shoulder and said with a smile: "Hemp, bystander Qing, it's really possible for you to say this, it must be that Qingliu Pass is not easy to attack, they want to lure the snake out of the hole." ”

Cao Bin said with a smile: "This said, then we don't need to worry, the horsepower is stronger than anything else, you first send a scout to contact Han Lingkun to see how to cooperate, and we will wait for dawn to lead the troops to set off."

Tomorrow, our department will be in order, and the 12-way sentry will be the vanguard. ”

"No."

On the second day, the whole army was fed, the horses were fed, and the day was bright before they set off, all the way slowly.

At the beginning of Shen Chu, the scout flew to report, Han Lingkun was very satisfied with the tactics of our department to harass and respond after Qingliu Pass, and suggested that it was best to go south first, and then turn back to the northeast, in order to take a big detour, in order to surprise.

Cao Bin smiled at Qin Yue and said, "Come on, they really don't want us to lead the troops to converge, but fortunately, I listened to you, and I didn't have a hot face to stick to my cold ass." ”

Qin Yue put his helmet on top with a horsewhip, and said casually: "Compare your heart to your heart, think about it from your side, if you are him, you are not happy for someone to cause trouble, he is also an arrogant guy, and others are excerpts from reporting, but they are not asking for reinforcements, let's go." ”

Cao Bin was annoyed when he saw Qin Yue's appearance, and he was hit with a heavy whip on his horse's buttocks.

The war horse neighed like lightning.

……

……

Runzhou, the palace of the Yan King of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Li Hongji looked at the beloved general in front of him, and only felt that his head was three points bigger, "You said that you succeeded in a battle, attacked 50,000 enemy camps with 3,000 weak brigades, beheaded more than 10,000 people, and captured more than 10 generals and colonels. Still not satisfied? ”

"Although Fuzhou is not a big town, but you are also a festival, why do you want to go north, the strength of the Zhou soldiers is not as strong as Wu Yue, and the number of horse soldiers is second only to the Liao ......"

Chai Kehong sat upright, his back straight, and listened carefully to King Yan's well-intentioned accusations.

The person in front of him, although he is young and vigorous, has a little quick-tempered, but he has courage, responsibility, and dares to think and act, which is much better than those who can only recite poetry.

It's a pity that he can only be bound to this small Runzhou.

He dared to vouch for his own head, if the Holy Lord issued a decree to order him to cross the river, he would be more high-spirited than anyone else, but......

Apparently impossible.

So he listened carefully to the nonsense that complained more than accusatory.

Li Hongji talked for a long time, and when he saw that Chai Kehong was still sitting upright, he angrily raised the folding fan and slammed it towards the iron pocket, and scolded: "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, who will show them all the clothes?" ”

"As long as the king is gracious, the last general will cross the river immediately."

Li Hongji sat down beside him very unimpressively, and sighed: "What's the use of this king's consent, do you dare to disobey the general's order and send troops without permission...... Wait a minute, Lone quickly handed out an excerpt today, hoping it will be as you wish. ”

"King!"

"Unload your armor and have a drink with Lone."

“……”

"Unarmour."

Li Hongji's roar spread three miles away, startling the magpie birds in the trees to flutter and fly.
