Chapter Seventy-Five: The Flaws of the Thule Army
Inside the tent, there was silence.
The herald of Majiabao soon came, a thin and small man, the guard's uniform seemed to be hanging on his body, his expression was full of timidity and fear, and he saluted the bigwigs in the camp.
"Kou Cheng has seen all the generals and marshals."
His voice trembled, and he seemed to be speechless.
Su Lu patted Kou Cheng on the shoulder: "Do you still recognize me?" ”
Kou Cheng's trembling body paused, a warm smile appeared on his black face, and he said in a weak voice: "I know you, general, you brought us into the camp and chatted with us." ”
Su Lu pulled a stool and asked Kou Cheng to sit down: "Come, sit down and say, just treat it as our chat yesterday, tell you all the hardships you have endured and the hardships you have suffered, and let the three generals know and know." ”
Su Lu guessed that the leader of the troops that Li Qing just said should be to take the line of Luntai Majiabao, advance in the starry night, cut off the return route of the Tule people, and leave all the Tule people in Xitunling and Beizheng.
However, Su Lu, who was so easy and hard-working, was not willing to do it at all, especially after hearing Kou Cheng say that he was able to go to Beiyang and how much hardship he had endured to survive.
Kou Cheng's mood relaxed, and he began to talk about the process of receiving the military order and coming to report the news.
"The lord received the beacon fire from the direction of Lintao, and also ignited the beacon fire of our Majiabao, but we have not received a new military order for a long time, and we have not encountered the enemy who came to attack, and after the lord of the warlord and the commander of Luntai Tunbao combined, he decided to send people to Lintao ......"
After listening to Kou Cheng's words, Li Qing's cheeks were full of worry, according to what Kou Cheng said, there were no Tule soldiers on the front line of Majiabao Luntai, only Lintao had an attacking Tule army, if you wanted to bypass this Tule army, you had to walk the mountain road between Lintao and Majiabao, climb over Lintao Mountain, and cross the mountains.
The mountain road is difficult to walk, just look at Kou Cheng's appearance to know how much he has suffered, can Su Lu stand it?
But if Su Lu is not allowed to go, who can control the tens of thousands of newly trained recruits, there are some generals in the army who are good at leading the army, but compared with Su Lu, it is like brass meets real gold, and the fineness is insufficient.
Lin Tong twisted his beard and instructed Kou Cheng: "Kou Cheng, if you are asked to walk this mountain road again, are you willing?" ”
Kou Cheng's face changed greatly, and he struggled, "Marshal, this road can't be marched at all, it's too difficult to walk, and the military horses can't pass, they can't pass." ”
As if remembering the hardships of traveling, Kou Cheng's body trembled.
Xiao Cong frowned and looked at the defense map, suddenly turned his head and looked at Kou Cheng:
"Kou Cheng, you have meritorious service, I will promote you from the ninth rank to accompany the captain of Rong, if you are willing to be a guide and lead the troops to Majiabao, I will promote you to the captain from the eighth grade, when you want to be the lord of the war, or come back to Beiyang to find a ministry, you choose."
Kou Cheng's face turned red instantly, his breathing became heavier, and his face was extremely struggling.
Su Lu looked at Xiao Cong in shock, this old guy is amazing, the sugar-coated cannonballs are more ruthless than the other, for a small soldier in a tunbao, what will be more tempting than a title and ministry.
Kou Cheng hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "Dashuai, I listen to your orders." ”
A smug smile rose on Xiao Cong's face, and he turned to look at Su Lu, "Su Lu, how about you lead the soldiers this time?" Bypass the Thule Peak, from the Majiabao Lintao line, cut off the Thule back line. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Cong paused for a moment, thinking about the reward that should be given, and the room for bargaining:
"After the matter is completed, whether you want to stay in the Chinese army as the governor or lead the army alone, it's up to you."
This is the strategy that Xiao Cong discussed with Li Qing, and now he put it forward first.
Su Lu narrowed his eyes: "I'm not going." ”
Xiao Cong and Lin Tong had a black line on their faces, this is not a bargain, they refused directly, although you have the princess as the backing, but you really have a black face, who is Lao Tzu afraid of.
Lin Tong's face was as black as a potsticker: "You don't have to say whether you want to go or not, this is a military order, and you have to go if you don't go." ”
Li Qing looked embarrassed, and couldn't help but think about it, how did Su Lu's temper come about, he was pampered and arrogant, or he was arrogant, or he was such an upright man.
Lin Tong's roar has not stopped: "Su Lu, let me tell you, this is the Beiyang camp, Lao Tzu wants to cut off your head, who can't protect you, disobey the military order, this Lao Tzu can make your death clear." ”
Lin Tong's scolding echoed in the camp tent, causing the guards around the camp to look sideways, what kind of fire did Vice Marshal Lin send, and who was this going to cut.
Zhao Pu squatted outside the camp tent, looked at the camp tent, with a constipated expression on his face, although this errand was hard, but it was a great achievement, but it was a pity that his fixed inlay army could not be used, otherwise he would definitely have to go up.
In the tent, Su Lu was sprayed with saliva by Lin Tong, and after a long time, waiting for Lin Tong to gasp, he interjected:
"Then let me put it another way, now there are so many generals and lieutenants who want to ask for a task and make great contributions, just let them go, there is no need to call me, there are many people who want to make meritorious contributions."
Lin Tong and Xiao Cong glanced at each other, and there were wry smiles in each other's eyes.
The strategy of walking on the mountain road in the middle of Taomajiabao, among the several strategies proposed by Xuanfu Jiedu Mansion, there is this one, and now with the support of Kou Cheng's intelligence, it is even more certain that this is the best strategy.
Su Lu's performance in the exercise gave the two of them the idea of using Su Lu, but as Su Lu said this, their minds were loosened.
Yes, there are so many generals and captains, is there no one suitable to lead the army, and it is not necessary to Su Lu.
Lin Tong raised his eyebrows and thought of a suitable candidate, but before he was replaced, he had to suppress Su Lu first.
"I propose that Li Xiaoqin, the governor of the Ding army, be the chief general of the army this time, Su Lu, a general of the army, knows that he is not competent, greedy for life and afraid of death, and I don't blame him for disobeying."
Lin Tong looked at Su Lu with an undisguised sarcastic sarcasm on his face.
"General Su is invincible, it turns out that this is how it was obtained."
Xiao Cong waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, go and call me Li Xiaoqin, the governor of the Ding army." ”
Xiao Cong commanded.
Su Lu didn't pay attention to Lin Tong's ridicule at all, it's great, he avoided the hardships, he was a celebrity next to the princess, and he couldn't be promoted if he was afraid of a hairy person.
Kou Cheng and Su Lu went out of the camp together, and asked Su Lu in confusion: "General, that is the governor of the army, some generals have been in the army for a lifetime, and they can't get a real shortage." ”
Su Lu patted Kou Cheng's shoulder: "I'm a person, I don't want to endure hardships, I have suffered enough in my previous life, and I have to go around what I have to endure in this life." ”
"How hard you've been this journey, I don't want to be as thin as you."
Kou Cheng......
The next day, Su Lu led Li Xiaoqin, the governor of the Ding army, to the camp to select sergeants, and after all the original Ding army sergeants were selected, some tall sergeants were selected, and Li Xiaoqin returned to the newly opened camp for the Ding army.
As a steady stream of guards were sent to the Beiyang camp, the camp area was also expanding, and there were more and more new and defeated troops trained by Su Lu every day.
After Xiao Cong discussed with Li Qing, he decided to send all the defeated troops to Su Lu's men for training, after all, Su Lu was the only one who dealt with Yingxiao.
On the tenth day after the departure of the Ding army, Su Lu looked at the newly sent nine hundred sergeants, frowned, and instructed Su Ping to say:
"Gather the troops, surround this group."
Su Ping didn't know why, but the habit he had developed for a long time made him immediately roar:
"Battalion B is there, spear formation, surrounding."
There were many spears, and the two hundred men of the second battalion surrounded the nine hundred guards.
Su Ping reacted at this time, and asked Su Lu in confusion: "Second brother, what are we going to do here, these are all robes?" ”
Su Lu snorted coldly, his gaze swept over the faces of these people, and his tone was full of anger: "Then you ask them, do you dare to call yourself a robe?" ”
