The sky was slightly bright, and the camp of the Humeng people had woken up in a noisy sound, and at the big tent of the Chinese army, a Humeng man with five big and three thick men walked out of the tent, stretched his body fiercely, and then roared towards the sky, showing his powerful body and rough and wild personality.

After a while, another round figure came out of the tent not far away, stretched out simply, glanced around, and when he saw the man who was still standing in front of the big tent, his face was immediately full of smiles, and he walked quickly over there.

"Prince Jinduo, did you sleep well last night?" The man's voice sounded, and he took the lead in greeting, and the greeting object turned out to be Jin Duo, who had led the troops in front of the Hanyue Pass before.

Jin Duo took the warm water handed by the guard, rinsed his mouth in his mouth, and then spit them all out with a "poof", bringing out a burst of mist, "It's not bad, Kuerdu, where did your mother get this kind of superb goods, Lao Tzu almost broke his waist last night." ”

As he spoke, Jin Duo symbolically rubbed his bear waist, but there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Huer Du smiled, as long as Jin Duo was satisfied, he had achieved his goal, "Prince Jin Duo doesn't know, this Liangcheng is Dingzhou Prefecture, although it is located in the northwest of Yan Kingdom, but there are many rich families, among which there are some princes and nobles, these women, don't have to do heavy work, they are pampered by others all day long, how can they not be white and pretty." ”

Jin Duo seemed to be reminiscing about the taste of last night, nodding, the satisfaction in his eyes turned into greed and evil, "Compared to the Humeng women, I am still interested in these watery Yan country women, didn't you say yesterday that there is a pair of mother and daughter flowers?" Bring it to my tent tonight, and let me taste it. ”

"Yes!" Khurdu immediately responded, but there was some amusement in his heart, it seems that he is a man, and he has this kind of stimulation to seek taboos, because the mother and daughter flowers that Jin Duo said are now lying on his Khurdu bed, sleeping deeply, remembering their pear blossoms with rain last night, embarrassed and embarrassed, it makes Khurdu's heart agitated.

"How far is it from Dingshui?" After the two finished chatting, they turned to business, thinking that Hu Meng had already gained a firm foothold in Dingzhou, so his style of acting changed from the cautious in the past, and began to open and close, taking their march as an example, in the past, in order to hide their whereabouts, they often marched overnight, day and night.

But now, they are camping at night and marching during the day, not so much fighting as traveling, looking at the scenery as they go, and the journey that originally took only four days has been under their feet for six days.

This time, there were 50,000 Humeng troops who went to Dingzhou with Jin Duo, and outside the Hanyue Pass, only 30,000 people remained, and continued to carry out a feint attack on the Hanyue Pass under the leadership of Gu Dazhadu, the purpose of which was only to contain the troops of Caizhou and the attention of Yan Hu, so that it had no time to look west.

Together with the 130,000 troops that could be led by the original relatives, the Humeng troops in Dingzhou totaled 180,000 people, of which 15,000 were stationed in Xiema Town and Yunzhong respectively to defend the city, and the remaining 150,000 were all stationed in Liangcheng.

This is what the Humeng people are looking for

Yan Guo learned, because if all the captives are concentrated in custody, then the probability of their mutiny will be several times greater than that of dividing the prisoners, and the number of mutinies will also be a very terrifying number, even if Hu Meng can suppress them, but just to kill those mutiners, it is estimated that it will take a few days and nights, so they will be divided and detained together, because the information between them cannot be transmitted, and these problems can be well solved, even if there is a mutiny, there will be a maximum of 100 people at a time, The Humon people only had to shake their scimitars to scare them back.

The troops from Liangcheng this time were divided into two routes, one way for 40,000 people, led by Han Zan, Zhang Zicong as the deputy, and went to Xing'an and Xiping, but the order that could be listed to Han Zan was not for him to capture Xiping, after all, in addition to the local patrol battalion of 1,500 people in Xiping, there were 10,000 Ding'an troops, not easy to gnaw bones, Han Zan's goal was Xing'an, and if he captured Xing'an, he could cut off the connection between Xiping and the southern cities. The golden town that he had coveted for a long time was at his fingertips.

And the capture of Golden Town, not only the entire Dingzhou has won two of the three, but the most important thing is that Mo Lan at that time has also become his bag, he can not only threaten Mo Lan to send troops to help the war, but also let King Mo Lan willingly marry his beautiful daughter to him.

As for the other way, it is to take Jin Duo as the overseer, Huerdu as the commander, leading 50,000 Humeng iron cavalry south, straight to Dingshui, their task is not to forcibly capture Dingshui, but to contain the Yan army from Dingshui and Dingping, so that they can not go to the northwest reinforcements, wait for Kelie to completely take the Golden Town, deter Molan, and then turn to the south Dingshui, Dingping, in one fell swoop.

"There are still two hundred miles to Dingshui, and according to our marching speed, we will be able to reach Dingshui City in two days." Hurdu still knows this information well, and this is his advantage, no matter when Shangguan asks him for information, he can answer it accurately.

"Didn't you say before that there was a Yan Guo man named Duan Gang who was going to bring the governor of Dingzhou to serve, why hasn't there been any movement yet?" After Jin Duo knew the process of Hu Meng's acquisition of Liangcheng, he was shocked at first, and then suddenly felt that it was not as difficult as he imagined to conquer the city in Yan Kingdom.

Speaking of this, Hu'er sighed, and then spread his hands towards Jin Duo and said, "It's yellow! ”

"Yellow! What's going on? Jin Duo was a little puzzled.

"Originally, Duan Gang communicated with us, and also said that after our army passed, he would lead his troops to annex." As he spoke, Kurdu pinched the debris on his body, as if he was telling a joke, "but then he was suddenly slaughtered by his subordinates, on the grounds that he was paid a delicious military salary and embezzled property, so he caused a mutiny, and was beheaded by one of his generals." ”

"Humph! These Yan people are really very cunning, and I also said that why did he take the initiative to contact us, it turned out that he couldn't afford to pay the military salary. Jin Duo waved his hand with some pity, it turned out that he still wanted to use the governor of Dingzhou in his hand, so he repeated the trick, and he thought it was also that Duan Gang made up nonsense and used it to fool people

I didn't go to my heart anymore, and sighed to myself that I was just unlucky.

"Prince Jin Duo, the last general has an idea, our mission this time is actually to lead the Yan army in Dingshui and Dingping, so the last general suggests not to go south to Dingshui to besiege the city, that will cause us to suffer from the enemy on our backs." Hurdu's expression suddenly became serious.

Hearing this, Jin Duo turned around and lifted the curtain and said, "Come in and say." ”

Huerdu also followed quickly, and the two came to the map one after the other, and Huerdu pointed to the intersection of Dingshui and Dingping to go north to Liangcheng and said: "This is the only way for the Yan army of the two places to go north, we can camp here and go down to the village to brake quietly." ”

After a pause, Huerdu continued to say his second reason, "Secondly, our army is not suitable for attacking the city, our advantage lies in the cavalry, in the plain battle, the two armies face each other, so here, we can give full play to our greatest advantages, as long as the Yan army dares to come, we can use our iron hooves to trample them to pieces." ”

Jin Duo glanced at Khurdu with some approval, he suddenly found that this guy in front of him, in addition to pleasing people, his military talent is not weak at all, although he still seems to be a little tender, but in time, when there are greater achievements, this makes him want to envelop the other party to become his cronies more and more strongly, although he is Kelie's younger brother, but if he does not have some power, he will not have any right to speak in Humeng's court.

In that place where everything speaks by strength, nepotism in identity is only a plus, but it does not play a decisive role.

Jin Duo nodded and agreed with Khurdu's proposal, but his mind was thinking about how to further entrap the other party and let him use it for himself.

……

The sky has been clear for several days, and the snow has fallen again, the whole sky is gloomy, so that the land that has just had some warmth is covered with a layer of white snow again, in a small town thirty miles away from Dingshui, the heavy snow accompanied by the cold wind, blowing the whole town squeak, that is the sound of the doors and windows in the town opening and closing with the wind, and it is precisely because of the existence of these sounds that the town is more withered.

A Yan army knight galloped from outside the town, his whole body was covered tightly, only a pair of eyes were left to look at the road outside, this person galloped all the way, from the east of the town to the west of the town before stopping the pace, only to see another Yan army suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and took away the war horse that was taken from the knight's hand in the wind and snow, and disappeared in the town for a while, and the knight knocked on a door very skillfully and quickly flashed in.

The town was once again quiet, and if it weren't for the footprints on the snow, no one would have known that someone had just visited.

"Marshal, here, it's still twenty miles from here!" As soon as Song Tao entered the house, he shouted at the top of his voice.

And next to a kang stove, there were a few people sitting together, looking carefully, it was Yan Wuji, Liu Zhilan, Zhang Erhu, Guo Tianxu and Jia Chong, they found that someone came in, they all cast their eyes over, and when they heard the news brought by Song Tao, Yan Wuji hurriedly asked: "How many people?" ”

"The vanguard is about 5,000 people, and the rear army is 45,000, and the two are ten miles apart."

"It's cautious!" Yan Wuji sighed, then glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare each, do it!" ”
