393, New Battles (5)
It turned out that Hu Yanzhuo saw that the sky was almost dark, and the other state troops had already set up camp and even had dinner, but the two state soldiers of Puzhou and Bozhou had not yet arrived, so they couldn't help but be a little worried and anxious, so they came to ask for advice.
Gao Lian was not happy in his heart, and he didn't give Hu Yanzhuo a good look, but said, "Oh, it's okay, it just snowed heavily some time ago, and it's hard to keep the road difficult to walk, or they were delayed because of something, and it will definitely arrive if you wait." ”
Hu Yanzhuo was still not at ease, and then asked Gao Liandao, "When you sent someone to notify the various ministries and counties that day, did you also notify Puzhou and Bozhou?" And have you received a reply from them with an official seal? If not, it is very likely that Puzhou and Bozhou did not know that they were going to assemble here today, so they did not arrive. ”
Gao Lian was even more unhappy now, and secretly said What do you mean by Hu Yanzhuo? Is it doubting Ben Shuai's ability to do things? How could I be wrong about such a thing?! He immediately ordered someone to find out the official letter, and after careful investigation, Puzhou and Bozhou did reply to the official letter stamped with the official seal, and confirmed that they must have known that they had gathered here today.
Gao Lian looked energetic at first glance, and said sneeringly, "Is the general a little too careful?" Puzhou and Bozhou both sent more than 1,500 people, how could there be anything? Maybe they forgot the date or were delayed by something else. ”
These words can touch Hu Yanzhuo's mildew, he is strict in governing the army, the most disgusted by this kind of mud and water do not listen to orders, and then said with a gloomy face, "Boss, the most important thing in marching and fighting is military discipline, among which subordinates obey the dispatch and arrive at the order place on time is the most important thing, Puzhou and Bozhou are so disobedient to the order, delaying the assembly of the troops, after they come, they must be severely punished!" Otherwise, how can they fight this battle if they are so disobedient to the command and delay the military aircraft? ”
Hu Yanzhuo's original intention was to suggest, but under the misunderstanding between the two of them, Gao Lian listened to it but was even more angry, it turned out that this was Gao Lian's first command of tens of thousands of horses to fight, originally very excited, always felt that he was a handsome talent that is rare in the ages, this time I can finally take this opportunity to show it, but the battle has not yet arrived, but it has been Hu Yanzhuo angry three times in a row, once Hu Yanzhuo complained that he did not prepare food and grass, delayed the assembly time for many days, otherwise it would not be in a hurry before the New Year to send troops. The second time was that Hu Yanzhuo had just crossed him and ordered that the state soldiers should not be allowed to enter the city. The third time is this time, Hu Yanzhuo's "speaker has no intention", and when he arrives at Gao Lian, he becomes "the listener has a heart", no matter how Gao Lian listens, he feels that Hu Yanzhuo is "ordering" himself, and he feels more and more that it must be their cousin who left Bianliang to explain to Hu Yanzhuo, so he doesn't take himself in his eyes like this!
Am I cheap to be the manager, okay? Who to punish, whether to punish or not, is up to me, not you!
Gao Lian's face sank suddenly, how could he have eaten such gas? I almost wanted to get angry, but I remembered my cousin Gao Yu's instructions, so I had to grit my teeth again and swallow the anger back into my stomach, but he rolled his eyes and planned from his heart, but he pretended to be satisfied and smiled, "I have heard for a long time that General Huyan is diligent in governing the army, and now it seems that this is the case, I can have a deputy marshal like General Huyan, it is really my luck, and General Huyan will be responsible for military discipline in the future!" ”
The lights in the military tent were dim, Hu Yanzhuo didn't see a little chill in Gao Lian's eyes, but when he heard this, he actually had a good impression of Gao Lian in his heart, and secretly said that Gao Lian was not as dim as rumored, doesn't this also know the important role of military discipline in an army? Immediately thanked, "Thank you, Boss!" ...... the people of Puzhou and Bozhou? ”
Gao Lian waved his hand, "It's all up to General Huyan to watch and do, when Ben Shuai left Tokyo, my brother had already instructed me to learn more from General Huyan how to lead the army, my brother trusts you so much, I also want to believe you!" ”
Hu Yanzhuo's heart was even more moved, "Boss Xie, please tell the captain that he will live up to the captain's appreciation!" The lowly officials sent scouts to look for them along the roads to Puzhou and Bozhou, and if they encountered the men and horses of Puzhou and Bozhou on the way, they should immediately speed up. If you don't meet it, you will continue to rush to Puzhou and Bozhou to see what the people there are doing! ”
Gao Lian smiled, "It's so good, it's hard to call General Huyan." ”
Hu Yanzhuo immediately turned around and went out of the camp to arrange,
As soon as he left, Gao Lian's face immediately became gloomy, and Tie Qing sneered.
His cronies on the left and right had been observing Gao Lian, and he also knew that his temper was impossible for this adult to say the words that inspired Hu Yanzhuo just now, so he immediately pretended not to know and asked, "Why did the adult ...... Hu Yanzhuo?" ”
Gao Lian is also a person who can't hide his words in his heart, and he is willing to say what he thinks about it, he then sneered, "This expedition, although the armies of other states and states are nominally under the command of the commander, they are all temporary arrangements, the prefects and governors of the states, none of them are inferior to the grade of the commander, everyone can listen to me, in addition to respecting the holy decree, it is also to give face to each other, after the end of the suppression of bandits, where do you come from or where do you go back, you can't offend people at all." Hu Yanzhuo can't see through this, and he really regards himself as a commander, doesn't he want to be strict with military discipline? Ben Shuai let him go strict, it's best to offend everyone, when the bandit suppression is over, those aggrieved state troops will inevitably have to join him a few copies, of course, the official will also 'truthfully' reflect to the court, I see how majestic he will be at that time! ”
"High!" The cronie had actually seen Gao Lian's intentions a long time ago, but he still pretended to be full of admiration and praised again and again, "What a trick to capture and indulge, my lord is really a good strategy!" ”
There was a burst of wicked laughter in the tent.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hu Yanzhuo naturally didn't know Gao Lian's calculations, he was busy looking for the two state armies of Puzhou and Bozhou, and several groups of scouts also rode fast horses and galloped along several roads.
In fact, Hu Yanzhuo didn't believe that anything could happen to the two state armies, but he was a little too cautious, so he returned to the headquarters to check the preparations for war, and then the sky gradually became completely dark, and the troops who had been on the road for a day were also sleepy, and they all began to rest after arranging their duties, and the entire coalition camp gradually fell silent.
But this silence did not last long, when Yuncheng County just faintly heard the sound of the change that had arrived at Yinshi, the sound of several horses stomping on the land suddenly sounded outside the coalition camp, in this silent night is so harsh, many state soldiers who are closer to the edge of the camp are woken up, and can't help but angrily scolded which god this is to kill, so late still riding horses, rushing to reincarnation?!
I listened to the voices of a few horses from far and near, and when I came to the gate of the camp, I paused slightly, and I heard as if I was shouting with the sergeant guarding the gate for a while, and then I entered the camp and continued to gallop without any scruples.
More people were woken up at this time, and the sound of angry scolding suddenly came from many tents.
Finally, several horses were stopped by Hu Yanzhuo's guards when they were about to approach Hu Yanzhuo's tent, accompanied by the neighing of the horses being pulled by the reins that were pulled tightly, and then the hurried and frightened voices of several people,
"Quick! Hurry up and report to your lordship, the people and horses of Puzhou and Bozhou were attacked on the way here, and there were heavy casualties! ”
