Chapter 465: Yao Chang pursues
And the penniless soldiers, lying flat on the ground, watching the rich people being robbed, they are even secretly happy in their hearts, fortunately Lao Tzu spent the money, otherwise it would be cheaper for these grandsons!
The other party fumbled around them, couldn't find the money, patted their faces, pinched their noses, teased them, they would curse a few words at most, and if they resisted, they would inevitably invite revenge.
"General Su's armor is good, take it off and bring it back." Luo Cong saw Su Zhong lying on the ground with his eyes closed a few feet away, and no one dared to touch anything on his body, so he stretched out his hand and ordered the two soldiers to come forward and search.
The two soldiers looked at Su Zhong on the ground and didn't dare to step forward.
Luo Cong said with a smile: "General Su has already died, he will never return his soul in front of Lord Yang, victory is victory, defeat is defeat, General Su is a man who stands up to the sky, he can afford to win and lose!" Go ahead. ”
As soon as the soldier heard this, he quickly looked at Su Zhong on the ground again.
I saw him lying motionless on the ground, his eyes closed, and he didn't mean to move, because the sky was dark in the mountains, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
The two soldiers cautiously approached Su Zhong, stopping a foot away, and then half-crouched and reached out to take off his armor, and if the situation was not right, they turned around and fled.
However, the result was much more than they expected, until they took off all the armor, Su Zhong never opened his eyes from beginning to end, even when they pushed him to turn over, he didn't move or resist.
Luo Cong took the battle armor, stroked it lightly twice, offered it with both hands, and said: "My lord, a set of exquisite battle armor captured in this battle, please take a look!" ”
"It's not a small harvest." Yang Congyi stretched out his hand to take it, and then said: "The real battlefield, what is shed is blood, what you see is life and death, any carelessness or arrogance is an extremely fatal mistake, and you should be able to learn a lesson from today's battle." ”
"Yes, my lord, we will definitely learn our lessons!" Luo Cong clenched his fists and said yes.
In a quarter of an hour, the battlefield was cleared, and the soldiers handed over all the spoils they had obtained, in addition to copper coins, there were many messy personal belongings, whether they were valuable or not, whether they were valuable or not, it didn't matter at all, what mattered was the loot, this symbolic meaning.
When Luo Cong announced that the battlefield had been cleared, he immediately led the team to withdraw a mile away and began to bury the pot to celebrate the victory!
In this battle, they are bloodless, it is easy to win, and there is a lot of luck in it, but it is difficult to say whether there will be good luck next time, in the end, whether they can win or not, in fact, in the end, it depends on their own strength, Luo Cong knows this.
Su Zhong was stripped of his armor and sat in the forest with his head down, and the soldiers were far away from him and did not dare to approach, silent and spiritless.
Yang Congyi came to him with his armor in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Are you still not convinced?" ”
"Nope." Su Zhong got up, his eyes lowered, and he didn't dare to look at Yang Congyi.
"After this battle, I hope you remember that winning a war does not depend on luck, let alone brute force. Any Yum general, in addition to bravery, has extraordinary wisdom. You can't anticipate the enemy's opportunity, blindly rely on bravery, and when you encounter a real opponent, it's just a waste of life. How to march and how to fight, you should have your own thinking. I hope you can learn from this battle and use your brains more when marching and fighting. ”
After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he handed the armor in his hand to Su Zhong, and said: "Put on the armor, you are a soldier who is always ready to fight, and any battle is not a child's play, it can be regarded as a rehearsal of the war five years later." You can't win the rest of the Xuanwei Army today, can you win the strong Jin Man in the future? ”
Su Zhong took the battle armor with both hands and bowed: "The last general understands, thank you for your teachings!" ”
I hope he really understands that Yang Congyi looked at him deeply.
Maybe he remembered the humiliation, but he didn't really learn the lesson, and who knows? For some people, they can only learn a lesson unless they have experienced bloodshed and life and death, and some people may not learn a lesson even if they have experienced it.
What kind of person Su Zhong is, Yang Congyi actually can't see clearly, because he is still young, and everything is possible.
Half a day later, the two teams returned to the camp outside the mountain, and the news of Su Zhong's defeat soon spread throughout the army.
Hearing this news, others couldn't believe that the team led by Su Zhong was one of the best in the entire Xuanwei Army, and the team led by Luo Cong couldn't be compared with him at all, but the actual combat result was unexpected and unbelievable.
When he heard that the defeated side had his belongings confiscated, he was even more shocked. All of a sudden, the army's heart was shaken, and the people were panicked, and they wanted to find a place to bury their belongings and take them out after the actual battle.
But the camp is so big, thousands of people, where can things be hidden? Hide it at the training ground and find it later?
The soldiers don't care about this, even if they don't have much money, this is the savings they have saved with great difficulty, how can they bear to be taken away by others. None of them thought that their team could win, and almost all of them thought about how to ensure that the money was not lost after defeat, but on the real battlefield, once they failed, even their lives were gone, how to come back and get the money?
For ordinary soldiers, they don't think about this, it's not a real battle anyway, and their money is really their own.
The soldiers secretly went to hide things, their main general couldn't take care of it, Yang Congyi didn't want to care about it after hearing about it, there were some truths that ordinary soldiers couldn't understand, and he didn't have so much time to talk to them in detail, for him, as long as the generals and colonels understood the meaning of actual combat, after all, it was the generals who ordered the command.
In the afternoon of the same day, the third team set off, the main general Pan Cheng and the deputy general Wang Quan, led a command of troops and hurried into the mountain.
Yang Congyi and Shen Jin rested in the camp for one night, and the next morning they chased into the mountains with the fourth team, the leader of this team was Yao Chang, and the deputy was Li Hu.
There are many forks in the mountains, leading to different directions, fortunately, many people have been cutting trees and bamboos in the mountains recently, and as soon as they command the troops to enter the mountains, the momentum is not small, Yao Chang easily heard Pan Cheng's traces, and then chased unhurriedly.
A day passed, and the two armies did not meet.
Another day passed, and he still didn't catch up with Pan Cheng.
Yang Congyi took Shen Jin to walk in the mountains for two days, following Yao Changjun all the way, one mile away.
Without waiting for sunset, the whole army camped in a river valley, Yang Congyi and others were a mile away, a slightly higher mountain forest settled, the location was very good, from top to bottom, you could see Shen Jin's camp at a glance.
After camping, after eating dry food and drinking water, Yang Congyi and the others rested separately, and they were really tired after walking in the mountains for two days.
The night was quiet, the sky was full of stars, and the clear light sprinkled into the forest.
Yang Congyi, who had rested early, woke up in less than three watches, got up and got out of the tent, raised his eyes and looked at the river valley where Yao Chang was stationed, where it was blurry, and the tent where he could be seen vaguely, and the whole camp was very quiet.
Yang Congyi and the three of them followed Yao Changjun all the way, never inquired about the itinerary of the former army, and did not know how far they traveled and where they went, of course, as a judging group, he only needed to follow Yao Chang, follow all the way, the two armies can always meet, and the victory and defeat will always be clear.
Under the forest in the mountains, the air is fresh at night, take a deep breath, feel comfortable, and feel a hundred times more energetic, which is the right time to practice.
Yang Congyi immediately found a mountain rock next to him, broke the branch and swept it gently, then sat down on the mountain stone, meditated and practiced, and swallowed the essence of heaven and earth.
After a while, he noticed that someone was approaching, turned his head and opened his eyes, and found that it was Qingchen who came to the front of the mountain rock.
Qingchen didn't say anything, sat down quietly, glanced at Yang Congyi, and then looked at the night sky, holding his knees with his hands.
The night continued to be quiet, Yang Congyi smiled slightly, closed his eyes and continued to practice.
After continuing the march for two days, at noon, Yao Chang's army suddenly camped in a valley.
Shen Jin didn't know where to go, according to the previous itinerary, it should not be until dusk before setting up, and the earliest was when the sun was about to set, but today it was extremely abnormal.
Yang Congyi also felt strange at first, and when he saw the surrounding terrain clearly, he knew what Yao Chang wanted to do.
So he told them to find a hidden place to camp away from the river valley.
In the afternoon of the same day, they saw that the people of the river valley were busy and busy, and they did not continue the march, but directly stationed in the river valley.
"My lord, what is General Yao doing? Don't chase General Pan anymore? Shen Jin looked at Yao Chang's camp from afar.
Yang Congyi said with a smile: "A few days ago, Yao Chang chased Pan Cheng, and now it's hard to say who is chasing whom, we are here to watch the play, they will always meet." ”
Shen Jin was confused when he heard it, he was chasing all the way behind, why is it difficult to say? Could it be that General Yao still walked in front of General Pan? He didn't believe it.
The terrain in the mountains is complicated, and there are many forks in the road, if General Yao is not chasing after him and takes another road, how can he guarantee that General Pan, who has been going for a long time, will also come to the road he walked? Any sudden idea of marching can take the team elsewhere and bring the two armies closer and farther.
Yang Congyi saw that Shen Jin didn't believe it, so he said: "Hou Hou, the champion of the Western Han Dynasty, pursued the Huns back then, and once chased after the Huns for dozens of days, and the war horses were almost exhausted, and they still couldn't catch up. Later, I had a stroke of inspiration and came up with an idea, and then I gave up the chase and went deep into the grassland to find a place with abundant water and grass, do you know why? ”
Shen Jin thought for a while and tried to reply: "Let their own war horses recuperate for a period of time, so that they can continue to catch up?" ”
Yang Congyi shook his head and said: "No, this is not how the battle was fought, if you want to recuperate, you should retreat to the territory of the Han Dynasty, instead of going deep into the enemy's grassland." ”
"Why?" Shen Jin frowned and asked.
"The Huns live in the northern grasslands by water and grass, where the water and grass are abundant, there are Huns gathered. In the eyes of the champion Hou, instead of chasing after him and being led around by the enemy, it is better to ambush them in a place where water and grass are abundant. Yang Congyi explained.
