Chapter 49: Clever Capture of Xiongzhou

Li Tang Marshal Bian Hao and the superintendent Cha Wenhui discussed the matter of the southern expedition in Nankang County, southwest of Qianzhou.

Since Cha Wenhui led the army, he conquered Tingzhou in Fujian without much effort, and then Zhen** Zhangzhou and Quanzhou felt good about their military literacy, and this time he took the initiative to ask the emperor Li Jing for help. At this moment, when he saw that all the generals had arrived, he stood up and slowly crossed to the west wall of the council hall, pointed to the map of Lingnan hanging on the wall, and said: "Border Marshal, generals, please see that our army is here now-Nankang City, we want to conquer Xingwangfu, then we must take several passes on the road to the southern expedition, that is, Xiongzhou, Shaozhou, and Yingzhou (now Yingde, Guangdong), this Xiongzhou is located in Nanling, which is vulnerable to attack, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Looking at Cha Wenhui's appearance of strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, I thought he already had a good idea, but I didn't expect him to change his words and ask shamelessly.

Liu Yanzhen, the assassin of Fuzhou, looked down on Cha Wenhui, a nerd, stood up and arched his hand at Bian Hao and said: "The last general is willing to attack Xiongzhou for the vanguard of the front." ”

Bian Ho followed Li Jing when Li Jing was the crown prince, and later Li Jing became the emperor, and he was awarded the official rank of Zhongshusheren, which was very small, but he could often see the emperor holding an official position with real power. After another year, there was a god stick named Zhang Yuxian in Qianzhou, who rebelled against the flag, claiming to be the eight kings of Zhongtian (I don't know how this god stick came up with it), and there were one or two thousand people under his command, and every time he went out to fight, this Zhang Yuxian must first calculate a hexagram to see where to go. I don't know if it's because Zhang Yuxian is lucky, or because the magistrates in Li Tang Qianzhou are all ** bags. The hexagram shows that where to go, Zhang Yuxian will lead the troops to attack, and the result will definitely win, and the strength will gradually swell up, and it will spread to tens of thousands of people, and the Ma Qianzhou Festival will make Jia Hao unable to cover it, so he hurriedly goes to the table and complains to Li Jing. At this time, Li Jing sent Bian Hao to lead the army to quell the thieves. It may be that one thing descends to one thing, and as soon as the pickaxe comes, Zhang Yuxian's hexagram is not only ineffective, but it is said that there is no hexagram at all, so this god stick army will completely collapse, not only a large number of surrenders to Bian Ho, but finally someone tied up Zhang Yuxian and gave it to Bian Hao. It didn't take a single soldier for Ben Ho to put down the rebellion. Most of those rebels were saved by Bian Ho, so Bian Ho also got the reputation of "Bian Bodhisattva". No matter what the actual situation is, at least Li Jing is very happy in his heart, how far-sighted he is, and he can see that this pickaxe is a general's talent. Since then, Bian Ho has steadily risen to prominence and started a wonderful military career.

Bian Bodhisattva has fought a lot of battles, leveling Zhang Yuxian, Keting Prefecture, breaking Jianzhou, and being beaten by Wu Yue **** under the city of Fuzhou, but whether he wins or loses, it basically has nothing to do with him. As for the attack on Fujian, although he is the general of the army, he is in charge of affairs in Tingzhou, Cha Wenhui is in Jianzhou, Chen Jue is in Jianzhou, and under the city of Fuzhou, Cha Wenhui and Chen Jue are each **, and he is waiting in the middle. Here, the pickaxe is gentle, like a bodhisattva, not like Cha Wenhui or Chen Jue, ** to seize power, and enjoy the feeling of commanding thousands of troops, so it is not bad in the army and the generals, and the prestige is quite high. But no one knows whether this guy understands military affairs or not.

Bian Bodhisattva heard Liu Yanzhen take the initiative to ask Ying, smiled and nodded, as if he admired Liu Yanzhen's spirit very much, but he didn't speak. He knew that with Cha Wenhui, a "military strategist", it would not be his turn to be a "half-material military strategist" to call the shots.

Sure enough, Cha Wenhui raised his eyebrows, obviously not very satisfied with Liu Yanzhen, and asked rhetorically: "The only way to go from Qianzhou to Xiongzhou is to pass through from Da Yuling (part of the South Ridge), the canyon road in this ridge is narrow and long, and the mountains on both sides are steep and unclimbable. ”

Liu Yanzhen muttered vaguely with some unhappiness.

Cha Wenhui's face sank, and he was unhappy in his heart. He was about to say to Liu Yanzhen, but he heard one person say: "The prison army is right, the narrowest part of this canyon road only allows six people to pass side by side, if the Han army sets up this checkpoint on the road, I'm afraid our army will really be difficult to fly." ”

This was quite in line with his own remarks, Cha Wenhui raised his eyes and saw that the person who spoke was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, standing on the outskirts of the generals, and looked like he was just a small general. However, this person knew that it was Chen Jue who came to him to experience what Lu Jiang was called.

Cha Wenhui and Yan Yue** asked, "Does General Lu have any high opinions?" ”

Lu Jiangshen moved, he had only seen Cha Wenhui in the army under the city of Fuzhou, but he didn't expect this official to remember that he was a little excited in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The last general thinks that there are only three ways to deal with this kind of dangerous pass, the first is to show weakness and lure the enemy out; Second, this Nanling stretches for hundreds of miles, there will definitely not be only such a passage, if you can find the local mountain people, maybe you can find another way, our army only needs to send a force from another road over the Nanling, surprise attack Xiongzhou, then you can capture Xiongzhou, if you follow the official road, under the Han army's checkpoint, set up a checkpoint, cut off its water source, within two days, the Han army will be chaotic. As for the third method, it can be attacked by fire, but it depends on the weather and wind direction, and the casualties are also large. ”

This person was able to say three methods in an instant, especially the method he had already thought of, which couldn't help but make Cha Wenhui pay more attention to this Lu Jiang. picked up the war, Cha Wenhui felt that Chen Jue was still a little worse than himself, but with the eyes of knowing people, Cha Wenhui still admired Chen Jue. It's a pity that Chen Jue has the wisdom to know people, but he doesn't have the courage to use people. Thinking about Zhu Yuan, you know that Cha Wenhui thinks that Zhu Yuan is average, but Chen Jue thinks that this person is talented, but there is talent and talent, Chen Jue just doesn't recommend it to the imperial court for reuse. As a result, Zhu Yuan jumped ship and went to the Chu State, and 10,000 **** defeated 30,000 or 40,000 Jin soldiers.

You don't need me. Cha Wenhui glanced at everyone and said: "General Lu, the first of these three methods is too slow, if you want to lure the enemy, you must let the enemy taste the sweetness." Our army of 80,000 people is known as 150,000, and we retreated in a hurry without fighting a battle, and no matter how stupid the generals of the Han army are, I am afraid they will not fall for this. The third method is too lucky, and the casualties are bound to be very large. So I really like the second idea. Moreover, the prison army has found the mountain people who know the Nanling Trail. Whoever comes, bring the man up. ”

It didn't take much effort, a mountain man wearing a coarse cloth shirt and a strip of cloth around his waist walked in, this person had purple skin **, his face was wrinkled, he looked like he was in his fifties, he had calluses on his hands, his expression was cramped and uneasy, and he knelt down on the ground with a "poof" and said: "** people meet you...... Meet the great generals. ”

Bian Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Old man, please get up." Don't be afraid of anything to say. There is a reward for speaking. ”

Wait for the old man to get up tremblingly. A smile rose at the corner of Cha Wenhui's mouth and asked, "Let me ask you, do you know the trail in this Nanling?" ”

The old man nodded and replied: "There is a small road in this big Yuling, and the villain has also walked it, but the road is rugged, some places are steep and difficult to climb, and there is no repair, the sky rained heavily a few days ago, some places may have been washed back, and some places may have grown moss, smooth and difficult to climb, this ......"

Cha Wenhui interrupted and asked, "Let me ask you, do you remember that trail?" ”

"The villain remembers."

"How many people besides you know?" Cha Wenhui asked on the side.

"This ...... Ah Gou knows that his neighbor Ah Lin also knows that there is still ......"

"Let me ask you, does anyone know about the government over there in the Han Kingdom?" Lu Jiang asked.

The old man shook his head and said, "Those people don't know about the little people...... The Han people set up a barricade at the entrance of the official road in Da Yuling, and anyone who passed through the official road had to pay ** tax. Little People...... In order to save a few bucks, the villains took the risk of taking the trail, which would never be known to the people of the government. “

Cha Wenhui waved his hand and asked the old man to step back. He glanced at the generals in the tent with a smile and asked, "Is that general willing to lead troops to outflank the past?" ”

Cha Wenhui glanced at Liu Yanzhen, Liu Yanzhen hurriedly lowered his head, the old man said just now, the trail is extremely difficult to walk, and it is climbing the cliff and crossing the long stream, and it rained a few days ago, and no one knows whether the road can still be walked. Whoever wants to be this striker should go, anyway, I'm not going.

Liu Yanzhen thought about it, and the generals in the tent, such as He Jingzhu, the Jizhou Thorn Shi, Yao Feng, the Marquis of Qianzhou, and the Marquis Zu Quanen of Qianzhou, Yingtun, Yu, and Zu Quanen, also understood it very well, so Cha Wenhui bowed his head or staged "Eyes and noses, noses and hearts"**.

At this time, Lu Jiang walked out and said, "The commander supervises the army." The last general was not willing to lead his troops across the trail. ”

Cha Wenhui smiled and asked, "How many soldiers and horses does the general have to bring?" ”

Lu Jiang said: "5ooo people are enough, but these 5ooo soldiers and horses must be elite soldiers in the army, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it when I go over the mountains and mountains." ”

Cha Wenhui said: "Okay, I will allow you to personally select men and horses in each battalion of the army, bring enough food for 3 days, and set off immediately." After crossing the Great Yu Ridge, the fire was raised. I personally commanded the army from the official road into the Great Yuling, and successively attacked the checkpoint and then broke through Xiongzhou. ”

Lu Jiang said: "The last general respects the order." ”

Under the leadership of the old man, Lu Jiang took 5ooo people over the mountains and mountains, and when he was halfway there, he realized that the day before yesterday, the landslide of the rainy mountain had been broken. Lu Jiang inquired carefully, the old man made a big detour, more than 200 people died, and it took a lot of hard work to finally walk out of the Great Yuling at noon on the third day, but after coming out, he came to a place not far from Xiongzhou. Standing on the edge of the woods under the ridge, you can see Xiongzhou City in the distance. This Xiongzhou Thorn History is a bit big, relying on the steepness of the official road checkpoint of Da Yuling, he actually neglected to defend the city gate and let the people out.

At this time, Lu Jiang's heart boosted his morale, and he actually led the army to attack Xiongzhou. The Tang army was like a fall from the sky, which surprised the Xiongzhou assassins, and it was too late to investigate how many Tang troops had abandoned the city and fled.

Li Tang's first battle to the south turned out to be unusually smooth.
