Chapter 12 The North and the South must not be taken into account

Fengyang.

Gently blowing into the screen window and blowing into the green smoke in the incense burner, Ma Shiying looked more and more insignificant in front of him, plus Ma Shiying was wearing a Taoist robe. Like a fairy.

After Ma Shiying retreated from Xiayi, he parted ways with Huang Degong, Huang Degong went south to intercept Cao Ying's men, Ma Shiying and Lu Jiude returned to Fengyang, and after a little rest, they were going to march westward and go up the Huai River.

At the moment, I am meditating and cultivating, closing my eyes and recuperating my mind.

"Your Excellency." A delicate boy tiptoed in and said, "General Huang is here to report." ”

Ma Shiying waved the dust, and said lightly: "Bring it." ”

The child presented it with both hands. Ma Shiying took it with his hand, and the dust was thrown again, and the child understood. Quietly retreated.

Ma Shiying looked at it and said loudly: "Okay, I know that Hushan has never lived up to me." ”

But seeing what was written above, Huang Degong went straight to the Gorge Stone City, fought with Cao Ying, broke it, and beheaded 300. The rest crossed the river to the south. Huang Degong then crossed the river from downstream. At the foot of Tun Bagong Mountain. With the momentum of Shouzhou, the number of thieves attacked it and broke it.

Seeing this news, Ma Shiying's mind also settled down.

He thought about it for a while, and decided to let Huang Degong drag Cao Ying under Shouzhou City, and wrote to Zuo Liangyu, asking Zuo Liangyu to go north from Anqing, and wrote to Lu Zhenfei, borrowing Cao to transport people and horses, wanting to entangle the 100,000 division, and annihilate Cao Ying under Shouzhou City.

It seems that there is no confidence, but it is the normal state of the provincial governors now, and if they do not gather several times the number of troops of the Liukou, they will not dare to fight fiercely with the Liukou.

Of course, Sun Chuanting is an exception.

Ma Shiying's two letters have just been written.

I heard a burst of horses' hooves outside, shouting: "Xuzhou is urgent, and the idle people can't stop it." ”

Immediately after the sound of this knocking footsteps, a soldier broke into the courtyard and was intercepted, and he shouted loudly: "Lord Ma, Xuzhou is in danger, please Lord Ma for the sake of the people of Xuzhou City, send reinforcements as soon as possible." ”

Ma Shiying frowned, and said secretly: "Xuzhou, what happened in Xuzhou, when He Tengjiao left, didn't he say that he had defeated the three major Kou of Mangdang, and also killed Zhang Fangzao." It stands to reason that Xuzhou should also be in peace for a while, is it ---" Ma Shiying had a bad premonition in his heart.

When the child came in, he saw Ma Shiying's ugly face, and he became more and more light-hearted.

"Bring it." Ma Shiying shouted with a straight face, and the dust had been thrown aside.

The child did not dare to slack off, and immediately presented it.

Ma Shiying opened it and looked cold, but it was an urgent report written by Ling Mengchu.

The loss of Xiao County, Ma Shiying never took it to heart, and between the world, not every month

Knowing how many county towns have fallen, Ma Shiying's nerves are also bigger, but Ma Shiying doesn't care much about the gains and losses of one or two county seats.

What he cared about was the whereabouts of Zhang Xuan and Yuan Shizhong.

"I can't kill this Cao at that time, so that I am in trouble now." Ma Shiying said secretly in his heart.

Ma Shiying was distraught and threw aside the two letters written on the table. I don't know it's okay to do it.

First of all, there is a problem in Xuzhou, and the most worried person is not Ma Shiying, but Lu Zhenfei. There is no other way to Zhenfei is the governor of Caoyun, and Xuzhou is next to the canal, once Zhang Xuan succeeds in Xuzhou, the army will go east and cut off the canal, it will be a big trouble.

If you want to borrow troops from Lu Zhenfei, don't even think about it, I'm afraid that after Lu Zhenfei learns the news, he will ask him to send troops to Xuzhou.

But in this case, what should be done to support Huang Degong? Ma Shiying also knew that the elite men and horses of the Fengyang Army were brave enough to defend the battalion, and the others were just ordinary people.

Without Huang Degong, his tens of thousands of troops were sent to Xuzhou, what if it became a stalemate like Xiayi? What's more important is that Fengyang is empty.

Compared with Xuzhou and Shouzhou, only Fengyang is Ma Shiying's life, and if the imperial tomb is lost, Ma Shiying's official will definitely stop.

Ma Shiying pondered in his heart for a while, and said secretly: "Now I can only wait for the change, so Inspector Sun is about to leave the customs, only Inspector Sun will win and break into the camp, Cao Ying will definitely not dare to stay in Shouzhou for a long time, and will definitely go to other places, and there will be no business for me at that time." ”

"However, the matter in Xuzhou must also be resolved." Ma Shiying said secretly, he thought about it, wrote a letter to Lu Zhenfei, and then wrote another letter to Qiu Zude, the governor of Shandong. There is nothing else to do, just to ask the two parties to suppress the thieves in Xuzhou.

and wrote to Huang Degong, instructing him to persevere. Immediately, other units of the Brave Guard Battalion were also dispatched. The tens of thousands of brave guards may not be enough to break the Cao camp, but it should be safe to hold on.

After Ma Shiying finished doing this, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Yang Longwen to come over, so he ordered Yang Longwen to continue, Yang Longwen said: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me." Yang Longwen came and went in a hurry, and then took it away, as well as an order to transfer Liu Zeqing north to Xuzhou.

After Ma Shiying saw Yang Longwen leave, he suddenly sneered, and his voice was very cold.

Under the city of Shouzhou.

Bagong Mountain is in the northeast of Shouzhou City, and from Bagong Mountain, you can overlook Shouzhou City, which is not far away.

And this Bagong Mountain is the Bagong Mountain of the famous Battle of Weishui.

At this moment, under Bagong Mountain, not all the grass and trees are soldiers, but a big village is built on the mountain, which is Huang Degong's camp.

Huang Degong broke Luo Dai, took advantage of the victory to the city, Shouzhou Zhizhou, asked Huang Degong to enter the city, Huang Degong was unwilling to enter the city to defend it. In becoming the end of the camp. Cao Yingpai

The infantry team came to attack, but they were all repelled by Huang Degong. If it weren't for Cao Ying's horse team eyeing him and Huang Degong taking advantage of the victory to pursue, Cao Ying's infantry team would probably not have too many people going back.

Huang Degong remembered the battle to defeat Luo Dai, and his heart was a little heavy, and he said secretly: "Cao Ying's horse team is not what it used to be. It's a lot more powerful. But fortunately, the team behind is about to arrive. ”

Not all of the Brave Guards were cavalry. The cavalry is only part of it, but Huang Degong likes to lead the cavalry into battle.

The Yongwei Battalion is the last elite of the Beijing Battalion, and it also inherits the tradition of the Beijing Battalion, which is roughly divided into bows and crossbows, short soldiers, firearms, and cavalry often led by Huang Degong. It can be as powerful as thunder when attacked, and it can be as solid as a rock when defending. With the offensive in front of Cao Ying, it is absolutely impossible to gnaw it down.

"However, Cao Ying's horse team is so powerful, but this step team is so sparse, even Zhang Xuan's command is not as good." Huang Degong looked at the retreating Cao Yingbu team, became suspicious in his heart, and said secretly: "Luo Ru will not have any conspiracy. ”

Huang Degong suddenly remembered the Bagong Mountain behind him, and immediately ordered: "Send people up the mountain to search the mountain, all the roads that can pass through the brigade of people and horses are all set up beacon fires, even if there is a trace of movement in this mountain, I must know." ”

"Yes." Ren Youqian immediately went to do it.

Bagong Mountain is not a steep mountain, Huang Degong was worried that Luo Rucai would feint in front of him, and sent a large team of men and horses to cross Bagong Mountain to attack his camp.

It turns out that Huang Degong thinks a lot.

Cao Ying camp is just west of Shouzhou.

The people recruited by Cao Ying along the way are strong, plus the soldiers, logistics or something, there are 100,000 small horses. Divided into several battalions, stretching for several miles, Shouzhou is surrounded on three sides.

At this moment, in Luo Rucai's big tent, Liu Rugui knelt on the ground and said: "The last general cannot attack repeatedly, and I will lose the prestige of our army, please punish His Highness." ”

"General Liu, please." Luo Rucai said, his eyes looked at Luo Yulong, Luo Yulong understood, and immediately stepped forward to help Liu Rugui up.

Luo Rucai said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, I--cough cough." The lonely army, the horse team is strong and the infantry team is weak, it's not a day or two, General Liu only needs to fight, how many people do you lose, how many people do you make up for Changshi, and the lonely believes that if you fight too much, the infantry team naturally knows how to fight. ”

Liu Rugui was grateful and said, "The minister obeys." ”

"The last general will fight." Luo Dai said loudly: "The last general was not defeated by Huang Degong's hand before. I am willing to lead the soldiers under my command to ascend first and take revenge. ”

When Luo Dai remembered the battle the day before yesterday, he hated it so much. Luo Dai was blocked on the mountain, unable to let go of his hands and feet, Huang Degong was twice as large as Luo Dai, Luo Dai could only find a way to cross the river to get out of trouble, or left a tail to be swallowed by Huang Degong.

Although victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Luo Rucai didn't punish Luo Dai much, but who Luo Dai was, he just couldn't swallow this breath and wanted to fight Huang Degong again.
