Chapter Ninety-Nine: Sneering and Irony
Early the next morning, 2,500 soldiers of the Qimen Army packed their bags and left this place where they had lived for nearly three months.
Grain and ordnance were at the front of the ranks, followed by the army on horses, and the soldiers at the back tied branches to the tails of their horses to hide the marks of horses' hooves and ruts.
After a day's journey, the army arrived at the horse farm and warehouse that Gongsun Ao had set out to build.
Because the north of Mayi is the seat of Yanmen County, the Xiongnu army can only come through the northeast if it wants to reach Mayi.
It is interspersed between Wuzhou and Pingcheng, and then points directly to the hinterland of Yanmen County.
Therefore, Gongsun Ao built the horse farm and warehouse in the northwest of Mayi County, which is relatively close to Zhongling County.
Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing's plan is like this.
The main army of 2,500 men was at the forefront to confuse the Huns, and after the Huns left, they ran directly to the horse farm, and then went north.
Gongsun Ao still only led an army of 500 people, protecting more than 1,000 people, in the area north of Mayi City, wandering and grazing, waiting for the arrival of the Xiongnu army, and then fleeing towards the rear of Mayi County.
However, Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan did not disclose this plan to Gongsun Ao, but only explained to him that after the main force took the war horse weapons, they would outflank the rear of the Xiongnu army.
No one can say anything about the plan to attack Dragon City, and Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan only planned to show this plan to the soldiers at the last moment, the moment they approached Dragon City.
"Has the imperial army arrived in Mayi County?"
Walking on the edge of the racecourse, Wei Qing asked Gongsun Ao.
Gongsun Ao replied immediately.
"Returning to the general, at present, the imperial historian Han Anguo and several generals sent by His Majesty are leading an army of 300,000 troops to hide in the Tired Head Mountain.
In order to keep it secret, except for the county order and the county lieutenant, no one in the city of Mayi knew that the imperial army was going to use troops against the Xiongnu.
The last general has already submitted a letter to apply for the transfer of the soldiers stationed in the beacon within the scope of the activity of the period gate army, and there are three beacons in front of him that are unattended.
Doctor Goshi ordered us to be in charge of the three beacons, and in addition, Dr. Goshi asked the general and the chief to go to the mountain of Letou to discuss matters within five days. ”
The arrow had to be fired.
The situation in front of him has reached this point, and the army has approached Mayi, indicating that Nie Yi has gone north to find the Xiongnu Dadan Yu's military ministers.
"Okay, I see.
What do you think about this matter? ”
Wei Qing still asked Zhang Yuan's opinion first.
Zhang Yuan thought for a while, looked at Wei Qing and replied.
"Each beacon sent ten men to guard it, and all thirty of them must have the kind of men who are not afraid of death.
And there are many people in the family, and people with intertwined relationships go to them, and there is absolutely no possibility that these people will betray the Han.
In addition, Han Anguo's side, you and I will do it quickly, and I am worried that a few of them will decide the fate of you and me in advance.
When the time comes, will you listen to Han Anguo's orders or not? ”
Wei Qing nodded and said to Xue Ren on the side.
"Thirty of the most reliable ones will be drawn from those generals from your Hou Mansion to guard the beacon.
In addition, Gongsun Ao distributed the cattle and sheep in the few days when I left with Changshi.
The nomadic contingent in the wilderness, with a minimum of ten and a maximum of fifty, is according to this standard.
Then mark the range of each team's activities on the map, making sure not to be too loose or too compact.
It is important to let the Xiongnu Dadan see the traces of the Han people along the way. ”
Gongsun Ao and Xue Ren immediately hugged their fists and agreed, and then left to make arrangements.
Zhang Yuan and Wei Qing also rode their horses and led a team of ten people south to the Han army camp in Titou Mountain.
The Great Wall behind the county seat of Mayi was built on the slopes of the Letou Mountain. The Han army and the Tibetan army were inside and outside the Great Wall, and even if some people were seen by ordinary people, they would not be suspicious.
After all, there are Han troops stationed inside and outside the Great Wall all year round, but there are fewer people in ordinary times.
Without the drag of materials, Zhang Yuan and others arrived at Titou Mountain in less than half a day.
As soon as they arrived at the Great Wall Pass to Loufu City, a soldier came to stop Wei Qing and the others.
"Is it Wei Qing, the rider?"
Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan had already changed their armor in order to meet Han Anguo.
The tiger-striped cloak behind the armor of Captain Wei Qing was particularly eye-catching, and it was not strange that several soldiers recognized it directly.
"I am Wei Qing, this is Shi Zhangyuan, the commander of the period gate, where is Han Anguo, the general of the protector of the country, and quickly take the two of us there."
Wei Qing pointed to Zhang Yuan on the side and said to these soldiers.
The soldiers immediately bowed to Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan.
"Two generals, please come with us here."
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan and his party followed these soldiers from the south of the Great Wall to the east, until they left the pass for half an hour, and then they saw the banner of the Han army hidden in the mountains and forests.
This section of the Great Wall has a particularly large gate tower, and several soldiers have passed through several checkpoints all the way to the bottom of the gate tower.
"Two generals, please wait here for a while, and I'll go up and pass it on."
Wei Qing nodded, and then looked around to himself. Zhang Yuan also turned his head to look around.
There are not many Han troops around here at all, if Han Anguo and several people are in this city gatehouse, it stands to reason that this area should be surrounded by Han troops.
After about a cup of tea, the soldiers who had just gone up to pass the word came down.
"The two generals have been waiting for a long time, and the general of the protector asks the two to go up."
A dissatisfaction flashed directly in Zhang Yuan's eyes, and he had been waiting for too long.
However, Wei Qing has become accustomed to it, and the person who can drag on time the most in this world is not a woman, but the son of heaven in Jianzhang Palace.
"Lead the way."
Zhang Yuan said coldly.
The soldier immediately led Zhang Yuanwei Qing forward, and the soldiers brought by the two stayed under the Great Wall.
After entering the city gate tower, Zhang Yuan saw that Han Anguo and several people were here, and a wooden shelf more than one meter high and two meters wide hung a map of Yanmen County.
"The last general has seen the Imperial Doctor, the Guard, the Imperial Servant, the Great Xing, and the Taizhong Doctor."
There were too many big officials inside, Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan bowed one by one.
"Yo, the young hero that Your Majesty said is here."
At this moment, Wang Hui was in high spirits, so he joked on the side.
Zhang Yuan raised his head and glanced at Wang Hui coldly, no matter how many people were around, the irony in it was completely revealed by Zhang Yuan.
For a disgusting person, there is no need to give him a good look.
Wei Qing stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Yuan.
"Look, young men have tempers.
We old guys have to be careful when we talk. ”
Han Anguo also sneered on the side.
Zhang Yuan raised his head directly at Han Anguo and Wang Hui, and said word by word.
"Have you ever forgotten that my great man is also a young man?"
