Chapter 2 is an empty city

As the saying goes, don't speculate for more than half a sentence. Zhou Xingfeng said a few words to be careful and prudent persuasion, which was obviously regarded by Han Baozheng as ill-intentioned, and the full man did not know that the hungry man was hungry. In the situation of the Northern Expedition is not very good, but a very good situation, Zhou Xingfeng, as a Chu general, shook his determination to supervise the northern expedition of the dignified Shu Kingdom, not because the dog was nosy, but because pink eye was rampant, for fear that he would win the jackpot.

The more Han Baozheng thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that time was running out, he couldn't delay it anymore, and if he delayed it any longer, if Ma Guangmeng's kid ran in front of him and took Jingzhou first, he would really become a companion who walked with him, fought with him, and lost grain and grass. It is based on this that Han Baozheng not only rejected Zhou Xingfeng's retention, but even did not participate in Zhou Xingfeng's banquet specially for Han Baozheng. Buddy, I haven't eaten anything from the mountains and seas, and I still stay in Baoji to eat your Chu State Drag Soldier Banquet, and if you want to drink wine and set up a banquet, we have a good lively and lively Jingzhou.

As a result, Han Baozheng not only stopped staying in Baoji, but also went around the city in Tianxing City, not staying at all, and went straight to Jingzhou day and night along the way! The Shu army crossed the Duyang Mountain, passed through Purun County, and then went along the Xishui River to Lingtai County in Jingzhou (present-day Lingtai County, Gansu), and then went north to Jingzhou (present-day Jingchuan County, Gansu). Han Baozheng left Baoji County with his front foot, and Zhou Xingfeng hurriedly sent someone to report to Ma Guangmeng, who was far away in Weizhou. It's just four words: the fish has been baited.

The area around Duyang Mountain is steep and steep, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk. Fortunately, the Shu army was accustomed to mountain warfare, and since it was faster than the Chu army, it was faster than the Chu army. After Duyang Mountain, the terrain gradually opened up, at this time the Northwest Plateau has not become the Loess Plateau of later generations, along the way, there are many mountains and dragons. On the top of the mountain, the extreme eye overlooks, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the trees and wild grasses are lush and green, and they are full of vitality. It was a summer day, but the fierce wind from the northwest prairie easily swept away the scorching heat. The wind is refreshing and comfortable. It's a pity that Brother Meng Chang is not here, otherwise, he would definitely splash ink on the spot to paint, and then chant a poem. Although this buddy's literary skills are not as good as Li Jing and Li Yu's father and son, his vassal and elegant mood is average!

Although Han Baozheng is from *** background, he can be regarded as having fought several battles, especially last year with "Mr. Zhuge " Wang Zhaoyuan in Fengxiang to win a good battle. At that time, under the great victory, that is, Han Baozheng tried his best to advise Wang Zhaoyuan to pursue, but he was ambushed and beaten by the Zhou army, and was beaten back to Shu. There is a saying in China: Eat a trench to grow wisdom, and the Greeks also said that it is impossible for a person to fall twice in the same place. It stands to reason that Han Baozheng should be cautious in dispatching troops this time, after all, he was responsible for writing the summary report of the "Lessons Learned from the Northern Expedition" after returning from the last fiasco. Of course, the report was sincere and heart-wrenching, and seriously analyzed some of the shortcomings existing on the road of the Northern Expedition. The words are still in my ears, but this old man seems to have forgotten a little. Judging by the march, the brother did not learn many lessons. In fact, Han Baozheng can't be blamed, before sending troops, Han Baozheng also thought that this time to send troops, we must send as many meteors as possible, it is best to report one mile and one report, and if you don't find out the situation near this marching line, you will definitely not move. However, Ma Guangmeng's glorious achievements made Han Baozheng's eyes red, and he urged his soldiers to speed up his pace along the way, which made the reconnaissance matter more difficult.

It's just that last year's battle was too bad. After entering the boundary of Jingzhou, Han Baozheng was still vague for a while, but he had to be on the bow, he was a little bit of a bit of a bit of luck, always ready to run away, saying that he couldn't say anything like the previous governor Zhao Zhao Wang Zhaoyuan. On the way, an ordinary man ran into Han Baozheng's army carelessly, and was twisted to Han Baozheng's front on the spot by the scouts who had nothing to do. This person is an old man, in his sixties, with a scruffy beard, but Han Baozheng didn't know that it was seen by that eye, and insisted that this old man was a spy of Zhou Jun, and tortured this old man, and in the end he really couldn't ask anything, so he released the old man who was dying.

After this commotion, Han Baozheng was a little bolder, and he urged the man to move forward. The road was calm, and a single Zhou army did not see it, but he caught a lot of people. Gradually, the county seat of Lingtai County has loomed in the sky. Zhao Yantao in the front is only 1o miles away from Lingtai County!

"Report to the commander! The city gate of Lingtai County is closed! Although the banner of the Zhou army was planted on the head of the city, there was no Zhou army on the city tower. A few people were caught under the mark, and they all said that the Zhou army, which was originally stationed in Lingtai, had withdrawn in the direction of Jingzhou this morning! The scout replied.

"Oh? This means that Lingtai County is an empty city? Han Baozheng asked back.

"Lady of the handsome, that's it!"

"In that case, why is the gate of its county town closed? The township elders in the county should have opened the door to welcome Ben Shuai, how could the city gate be closed! Han Baozheng asked. I've never eaten pork, but I've always seen pig bristles. Han Baozheng has been in the army for many years, and he has won battles no matter how he says. He is not a barbarian, and the defenders of the other party know that they are invincible, so they can naturally escape, but it is impossible for the common people to drag their families and run away. The famous townsfolk in the other city, they should definitely open the city gate and go out of the city to greet them, how can they close the city gate!

"This... Maybe it's the fear of the marshal's might. The scout patted himself.

Obviously, this fart was not shot accurately, not only did it not hit the horse's buttocks, but it slapped on the horse's hooves. Han Baozheng's face was tense, and he said sharply: "Don't hurry up and investigate!" ”

"Dashuai, do you want to send 1ooo men and horses to attack the city!" Shannan Jiedu judge Zhang Tingwei suggested. It stands to reason that the judges of the festival and the envoys of the festival should always be at odds, because in this way the court can control it. However, in the period of the Five Dynasties, especially in the later period of the Five Dynasties, the nations all thought of various ways to bring most of the rights of the Jiedu envoys back to the central government. The scourge of the Ten Kingdoms Domains is far less than that of the Five Dynasties. After Meng Chang became in power, he used his own people to control the world's soldiers and horses, this Zhang Tingwei and Han Baozheng are both ***, and the relationship is not bad.

This advice is relatively cautious and should be feasible. If there is really no one in Lingtai County, then don't talk about 1ooo people, even 1ooo people can take down Lingtai County, if... In case there is an ambush in Lingtai County, the loss of these 1ooo centaurs is nothing. After all, the big army is still there!

However, Zhang Tingwei's suggestion did not get an immediate response from Han Baozheng. Why? Although the relationship between the two is good, it is a personal relationship, and when it comes to business, Han Baozheng does have some doubts about Zhang Tingwei. Why are these doubts in place? This still has to start from the last Northern Expedition, when Fengxiang won a great victory, in addition to him Han Baozheng, Zhang Tingwei was the most active in supporting the pursuit, and Zhang Tingwei was not just chasing in, he wanted to suggest that Wang Zhaoyuan expand the attack area and send people north to take Jingzhou. As a result, Sun Yu, the general sent to Jingzhou, fought back, ran to the city of Jingzhou and surrendered directly, and led the Zhou army in Jingzhou to the south to copy Wang Zhaoyuan's back road, otherwise the Shu army would not have been defeated so badly. Moreover, to sum up afterwards, Han Baozheng felt that Wang Zhaoyuan had indeed made a mistake, but it was this Zhang Tingwei who caused Wang Zhaoyuan's mistake to add to his mistake.

But you can't afford to spend your own army here. This is 50,000 horses, a piece of black pressing, within a radius of ten miles, all of them are the people and horses of his Shu Kingdom. At present, this place is not in front of the village, and there is no store in the back, and it must not stay in this wilderness! And not far away is Lingtai County, all the way to the rush over, really to someone else's territory, and dare not do it, this... How demoralizing this is! Han Baozheng thought about it "independently" for a long time, and felt that it was better to fight for a while, anyway, the scouts searched around just now, and there was really no Zhou Jun. Since there is no ambush, why not fight all at once!

Han Baozheng said loudly: "Order General Zhao Yantao in the front to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to attack Lingtai County immediately!" Zhang Tingwei glanced at Han Baozheng depressedly, you have been thinking about it for a long time, but you haven't listened to your buddy. Hmph, in order to show that it was his own idea, he also increased the number of people. In case there is an ambush in Lingtai County, you just wait for bad luck.

"Kill!" Zhao Yantao yelled, followed by "Knock knock!" The war drums sounded, and a group of Shu troops rushed in the direction of Lingtai County in a phalanx, and the front row was naturally a sword and shield hand. Speaking of which, this group of people is holding a shield in their hands, which can just cover the bow and crossbow of the opponent's city defense troops, but in fact they are purely cannon fodder. The recruits, except for those who looked weird and were selected by the generals as their own soldiers, most of them had to be sword and shield bearers for a while, survived, and experienced, and then slowly transformed into the main elite troops. War is so unforgiving. Sandwiched between the hands of the sword and shield, at intervals there was a group of people fighting against a pair of ladders, apparently prepared for the siege. Behind the sword and shield men were their own archers, crossbowmen, and large siege equipment such as stone throwers.

Ten miles, five miles, and one mile, along the way, the sword and shield bearers all held wooden shields, covering their vital points, and advanced towards Lingtai County, but the road was unimpeded, and the other party did not fight back at all! What's going on? It's a street fight! The soldiers muttered.

Of course, the pioneer general Zhao Yantao would not have such a boring idea. In this case, there are nothing more than two kinds: either "bangbangbang" a gong and drum, "bang", and there are thousands of arrows on the city, which is an ambush type! Or, Ya is an empty city.
