Chapter 351: Rain in the Pine Desert (17)
Zhuozhou Governor's Mansion, Li Duozuo, the commander of the Hou Army, led his troops to arrive not long ago, and he helped the Governor of Zhuozhou to solemnly restore the entire territory of Zhuozhou, and he also received Su Renshi's Huangzhang Valley ambush order.
Li Duozuo made a comparison on the map and locked the location of Huangzhang Valley, which is the main road from Liaodong City to Liucheng and Xincheng, and he was convinced.
"God has eyes, so as to teach me to avenge the brothers in the clan" He is a member of the Jin Ya tribe, and he has been a general in the Central Plains for a long time, and the chief Zuo Li is not salty or indifferent to him, but he has never broken off contact with the Yan Ya, I heard that the Khitan people assassinated a lot of Yan Ya key corners, the national enemy and family hatred overlapped, and the teeth were gnashing, and now Su Renshi broke the new city, and then set up the Huangzhang Valley, although the Khitan will not perish, it will also decline, white mountains and black water, who said that it must be the territory of the Khitans? The same can be done for the Tattars.
Ye Huli stared at the captain of the messenger, Su Renshi's military report was not one or two encounters, the style of this military report was in the same vein as before, it was mixed with marching orders in the success, and the signing of the seal letter and customs defense were all right, it should be true, his doubts were on the other hand, "Tell me, in front of the Khitan army, who is in charge?" ”
"It is the supreme khan Li Duzhong...... No, it's the Khitan chieftain Li Duan" Captain Chuanxin broke out in a cold sweat.
Ye Huli didn't have the heart to pick on his reason, he was silent, thinking about his thoughts, and his mind echoed the advice of Quan Ce before the expedition, "If something happens to Sun Wanrong, it should be no big problem, and if it comes out of Li Quanzhong, you must be cautious."
"You go back to the general manager of recovery, Li Duozuo has an order, he will act according to the order, pull out the camp in a few days, go out of the Huangzhang Valley, if you violate the deadline and break the contract, be willing to be a military law" Over there, Li Duozuo has already given the military order.
The messenger captain saluted and left, Li Duozuo kept giving orders, and the personal guards poured out, Ye Huli hesitated, and did not stop, "Uncle Yue, the little son-in-law thinks that the Khitan is cunning, even if there is a military order from the chief manager, you should be cautious and ......."
"Needless to say, you and I are Weng's son-in-law, but in official affairs, they belong to the two armies, although nominally you are under my command, but the Lan Yingjun has poured his heart and soul into Quan Langjun, His Majesty has high hopes, and it is easy to miss, you can act according to Quan Langjun's instructions...... There are only 4,000 people, and they don't interfere with the overall situation" Li Duozuo interrupted him with a wave of his hand, clearly distinguishing the inside and the outside.
Hearing Li Duozuo say this, Ye Huli became cramped, "Uncle Yue, the son-in-law doesn't have this intention, it's just that there is no big mistake in being careful, in the opinion of the son-in-law, it is appropriate to send a scout horse to investigate and probe clearly, and then make a big move."
"Hehehe, everything is stable, but you are like an old man than me" Li Duozuo left a sentence of praise and disapproval, waved his cloak, and walked away, "I have already issued the order, and the military plane is fleeting, how can you look forward and backward?" I will lead the main force of the right feather forest guard to set off first, and after you lead the Lanying Army, I will convey the military plan to you, as long as it does not interfere with your hands and feet, you are allowed to do your own thing."
"The last general leads the order" Ye Huli is not much entangled, and bows down to receive the order.
Li Duozuo led the right Yulin Wei army, and the whole army only carried ten days of rations to march in a hurry, out of Zhuozhou, bypassing Yingzhou, stepping across the Hongshan Daba, and going straight down along the Laoha River.
He marched fast, but there were others who were faster than him.
On the second day when Li Duozuo led the army to the Khitan border, the latter came first, rushed in front of Li Duozuo, and did not greet greetings, marched day and night, and quickly left Li Duozuo's troops far behind.
"Grandma's, in front of me is the grain transport team escorted by Yao Chonglao's children, we don't have much food, just use his to make up for it, and save Li Duozuo cheaply" Zong Huaichang was overjoyed, and Zhang Luo was about to take people to grab food.
"General Zong, it's just a trivial matter that the food is cheaper Li Duozuo, and the credit is cheaper Li Duozuo, you can't find the grave when you cry, don't want to covet some small profits, it's important to hurry" Yan Banditshi, who has always been silent, opened his mouth to reprimand.
"What General Yan said is right, the military plane is the most important, when he arrived in Huangzhang Valley, he completed the important task of ambushing and beheaded Li Quanzhong's dog, not to mention food and salary, he is a slave of gold, silver, and goods, and he dares to call the shots for you as much as he wants" Ma Renjie is also in a hurry, and his voice is not very real in the whining wind, not only to stop Zong Huaichang's whim, but also to provoke him, even coaxing and persuasion, it is very troublesome.
"I don't know who was suspicious at the beginning...... Zong Huaichang extinguished his thoughts, and muttered in his mouth, he made people hear that the rear army of Li Duozuo in Zhuozhou had also received an ambush order for a rapid march, and Ma Renjie and Yan Bandit Shi were like hares chased by hunting dogs, and they were in a hurry.
He didn't know that what really made Ma Renjie make up his mind was a word from the Si Ge Guard he had beaten.
"Looking at the meaning of this letter, Chief Manager Su has some concerns, it should be that he doesn't want you to really obey the order, I'm afraid that something is inappropriate, Chief Ma should be more careful."
Si Ge Wei is Su Renshi's confidant, he knows his habits well, he has some clues, and sincerely persuades Ma Renjie and others to consider it thoroughly.
Unexpectedly, Ma Renjie listened carefully to his analysis, nodded in approval again and again, and finally in front of him, he brazenly ordered the whole army to prepare and rush to Huangzhang Valley.
Si Ge Wei was shocked, and before he had time to persuade him, he was beheaded by Yan Bandit Shi, a thief who insidiously betrayed the master, and left him to live for a few more days, all of which were cheap for him.
Ma Renjie urged the whole army to rush forward, without distractions, but Yao Chong was very frightened, the Qiu Ba he encountered, especially in wartime, was very unreasonable, and the batch of military supplies he personally escorted, the types and quantities were all arranged by Su Renshi himself, if he was robbed by the unreasonable Qiu Ba halfway, the big crime of missing the time for transporting grain was enough to kill him.
"Pull aside, all pull aside, people in front, cars in the back, horse grass, coarse grains in front, fine grains and rice in the back, don't make mistakes" Yao Chong scolded his soldiers and people, and quickly sorted out the team, just hoping to minimize some losses.
The cavalry hunted, the foot soldiers were like clouds, the march was rapid, and everywhere they passed, the wind and grass were rampant, and it took more than two hours for the long army to finish, and from beginning to end, no one stopped to take care of them.
Yao Chong breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered in his mouth, "There is no crime in the autumn, and the military discipline is strict, it is really rare, I must find out when I go back, which army is this, and I will ask the court for praise."
At night, they arrived at the middle reaches of the Laoha River, at the foot of the dustpan mountain, where Su Renshi once garrisoned, the sky was dark, there was no one on the opposite side, and it was easy to get separated, and they were not in the army, they went deep into the enemy's territory, if they lit the torch road, it was easy to attract snoops, so they could only stop marching and camp for the night.
"Herod'......"
"Da Da ......"
"Knock Knock ......"
In the middle of the night, there was a neighing of horses from the silent four fields, and the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps followed closely, and the ground shook.
Yao Chong was shocked, and decisively ordered the people to disperse to their respective grain carts, and the soldiers gathered in front, formed a formation to defend themselves, and sent a few knights to inquire about the situation.
"Thorn history, it is the Great Zhou, it is the military horse of the Great Zhou" The knight's return is first happy and then surprising.
Yao Chong smiled bitterly, he couldn't believe that he had such good luck to encounter two groups of soldiers and horses with strict military discipline in a row, and a group of men and horses were separated from the army and rushed towards them.
"Who are you?"
"Yao Chong, the assassin of Puzhou in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was ordered by the general manager to escort the grain to this point"
"This will be the right feather forest guard, the road is slippery after dark, and be more careful, don't pass by"
The man at the head, unable to see his face clearly, took two sentences, and then rode away, the helmet on his head and the cloak behind him fluttering in the wind.
"I have such a strong army and such a strong general in Da Zhou, why should I be afraid of the Khitan?" Yao Chong's heart was agitated, and his whole body was burning with passion, "Send the order down, lay the soldiers and light the torches, guide the way on both sides, the people are in the middle, connected by ropes before and after, and rush overnight, I will not make my good meritorious man suffer from hunger."
