Wei Yongan was in the third year (Liang Zhong Datong in the second year), and it was already April.

Zhu Tianguang, the governor of the Western Expeditionary Army, went to Qizhou, unusually, and went to the battalions every day to comfort him, so that the armies strengthened their drills and prepared for war early, and wanted to quickly wipe out the ugly slaves of Wan Qiao, which had the meaning of "shame before the snow".

Soon, more than 20,000 troops marched out of Yongxian County, along the winding thousand rivers all the way to 300 miles away, until the Jingshui Valley (about the right of Pingliang City, Gansu Province, the south bank of the Jing River), east of the thief army's nest stable, but more than 100 miles.

Wan Qian was shocked by the ugly slave. At this time, he pieced together, there were still nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command, still defeated the Wei army, but after the new defeat, he really had no courage to go to the battle in person, and as a last resort, he "endured the pain" and pulled out 30,000 horses and handed them over to the "old man" in the army, the captain Su Qinmingda, and ordered him to go to resist the enemy.

It is said that Wan Qian Chou Nu "endured the pain" and handed over the military power, but in fact, Su Qin Mingda and Wan Qian Chou Nu were the first batch of thieves in Guanzhong who followed Hu Chen to raise troops in Gaoping Town (now Guyuan, Ningxia), and killed Cui Yanbo, a famous general of Wei State, in an ambush. Therefore, Su Qinming's qualifications are old and his prestige in the army is high, but he is not under the ugly slaves. After Wan Qian Chounu became emperor, he was very jealous of this "old comrade-in-arms", although he was named a captain, in fact, he never had military power. The situation is critical now, if you choose someone else, and I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress the newly defeated army, so I have no choice but to carry Su Qin Mingda out again.

Fortunately, Su Qinmingda "ignored the past suspicions" and generously accepted the order. He was indeed extraordinary, and he quickly set out with the whole army, and rushed forward, so that he had to reach the north bank before the Wei army crossed the Jingshui, and even set up camps along the river, repaired the fort city, and reconnoitred the cavalry, making the Jingshui defense line impregnable.

Erzhu Tianguang personally waved his troops to attack, and as a result, he fought three battles in a row, all of which were unfavorable. The Wei army was unable to cross the river, so Erzhu Tianguang had to retreat temporarily and face the thief army across the river.

。。。。。。

On the south bank of Jingshui, the pasture fields are undulating, and the pastures are endless in April. Occasionally, there are all kinds of wildflowers mixed with stars, which are more beautiful.

This is the temporary residence of 20,000 Western Expeditionary Army, facing Jingshui to the north and relying on the Qianhe River in the southwest. The area between the two rivers is vast, the pasture is abundant, and it is convenient for all horses to graze. Speaking of which, it is quite in line with the meaning of this Ganbeidi soldier.

It's just that no matter how good the land is, everyone is here to kill the thief, and they don't come here to graze, what's the use?

On the bank of Jingshui, a group of people strolled along the river, pointing at the thief camp on the north bank from time to time, which was inspected by He Bayue, the governor of the left capital of the Western Expeditionary Army, and a group of brothers.

When a few people talked about walking and turned their heads to look at the south pasture, they saw a place in the east and a west area on the plain, and the Wei army was in groups of three or five, some were singing and dancing, some were drinking wine and burning meat, and even worse, they gathered together, fighting dogs and gambling on dice, making a miasma.

Dare to love... Did you really come here to graze for fun? The brothers shook their heads and were angry.

"Adou Mud! Look, what has become of this? Is this still a march to war? It's ridiculous! If you want me to say, it would be a big mistake for you to call Erzhu Tianguang to the front line in the first place! This is Hou Mo Chen Yue's voice, and he can hear that he is full of complaints.

Yuwentai was on the side, and then sighed and said, "Our Metropolitan Governor... After a few days of cheering up, but I encountered some small setbacks, so I relapsed into my old ways, and only indulged in wine and food every day. Hey, look at Liu Gui's hundred whips, it's really not ruthless enough. ”

This time, even Yuwentai felt dissatisfied. The rest of the brothers, think most of them are the same?

Sure enough, Li Hu also opened his mouth: "If you go down like this, if you want to destroy the thief army, it is simply wishful thinking." Ah Dou Ni, why don't you go to the Chinese army anymore and tell the majority of the governors about the slackness in the army? ”

He Bayue's face flushed, and he said in anticipation: "I... It's not like I haven't told the governor about these situations in the army, but what... But he can't listen to it! ”

Let's say that when Erzhu Tianguang first arrived in Yongxian, He Bayue led his troops out of the city to greet him, and Erzhu Tianguang immediately jumped off the horse, held He Bayue's hands, and praised endlessly. Since then, the two have been "intimate" for a while.

As a result, the army was so far that he was blocked by Su Qin Mingda, and after a few defeats, Erzhu Tianguang suddenly changed his face, obviously because of his own improper command, but he blamed all the blame for the unfavorable battle on He Bayue's head. He Bayue was not convinced, and after a slight contradiction, he was scolded by Erzhu Tianguang for being bloody, and said: "If you can't atone for your crimes, you will be punished for several crimes at that time!" ”

Since the relationship between the two has taken a sharp turn for the worse, every time they meet, they have to be red-faced. He Bayue was certainly depressed, and Erzhu Tianguang also seemed to be discouraged. A few days ago, when he was running on the bank of the river, because of a heavy sweat, Erzhu Tianguang was so hot that he ordered on the spot: "The weather will be hot, and there is no way to do it." Just rest here, run the horses, eat meat, and then discuss advance and retreat after the autumn is cool. ”

He Bayue was in a hurry to admonish and shouted "no", but the result can be imagined--- he was scolded by Erzhu Tianguang again, and returned in a huff.

After that, just as Yu Wentai said, Erzhu Tianguang reverted to his old state and hid in the Chinese military tent to drink. Half of the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army were born as bandits in Guanzhong, and not long after entering the Wei Division, the lazy energy in his bones has not been wiped out.

The brothers also know that the relationship between He Batyue and Erzhu Tianguang has been very awkward recently, and if there is no important matter, he just runs to the tent of the Chinese army like this, most of them are just a scolding, and it has no effect.

At the thought of this, everyone hung their heads down, and suddenly lost interest, so they waited to ride back to the camp.

At this moment, a group of knights trampled the grass and flowers and galloped over. The brothers were sharp-eyed and recognized that it was the men and horses of their own Wuchuan Army.

Sure enough, the cavalry galloped to the front, and jumped off the horse as the leader, could it be Hou Mo Chen Chong? At this time, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Everyone, Agan! Ha ha! I've got a spy! ”

Yu Wentai smiled dumbly: "It's just to catch a thief, why make such a fuss?" Hey, Ah Chong is really too idle. ”

When the brothers heard this, they burst out laughing. While laughing, Yuwentai suddenly moved in his heart: By the way, why not...

At this moment, Hou Mo Chen Chong was already pulling the thief over, but the man kept insisting that he was just a nearby herdsman who accidentally crashed into the army garrison Yunyun.

When the big guy looked at it, this person was really dressed as a herdsman, and he searched his body, and there were no leather papers, or other suspicious things. This person has hard calluses on his left and right fingers, which are the traces left by frequent archery, but if he must be said to be a thief and a spies, it seems inappropriate--- after all, this is the Northland grassland, even if it is an ordinary herdsman, often riding and shooting, it is also ordinary.

Hou Mo Chen Yue waved his hand, with an impatient expression: "Escort the general, Ah Chong, you will interrogate yourself." Why did you send it here? It also seems that the treasure is also offered. ”

Before the words fell, Yu Wentai hurriedly answered: "It is said that it is a treasure, but it can barely be counted." ”

"Huh?" The big guys are all stunned, and they don't know why.

Yu Wentai smiled and said loudly: "Regardless of whether this person is really a thief or not, why don't I enter the Chinese military account to meet the governor on the grounds of capturing the thief army, Chen said that the thief army is afraid of a big move, and it is necessary to be careful to take precautions." No matter how bad it is, we can't sit back and watch our army be so lazy. ”

He Bayue twisted his beard lightly, thought about it, nodded and said, "Good." ”

The brothers also felt that it was a solution. Just do it, at that moment, Hou Mo Chen Chong grabbed the man to open the way, and a few of them went to the Chinese military tent together.
