Chapter 156: Shifting Defense

According to An Yi's instructions, the Sichuan Green Camp plus the left and right guards of Chengdu gathered separately and marched in the direction of Qingcheng.

Because Jiang Shang entered the city for a relatively short time, and before he opened the camp tent, he received a comfortable order, so he directly changed the rear team to the front team and went out of the south gate, and the people who came came and left quickly.

It's just that the men and horses of the two guards have to pull out the camp and pack up all kinds of things, so they go slowly.

Jin Mingyin took An Yi and the two cats behind a tall dead wood, and glanced at the people who were gathering in front of the south gate.

Jin Mingyin pointed to the tall pile of grain bags on the side of the city wall, who was stepping on it and holding a crotch knife to direct the sergeant to move the resistance, and said to An Yi: "Look, that person is the thinner of the two black-clothed men last night." ”

Because the distance was relatively far, An Yirao narrowed his eyes into a slit, and he couldn't see the person's face clearly.

"Do you see clearly? Whose soldiers and horses are this? ”

Jin Mingyin nodded like garlic, "I see clearly, it's him, I asked, this is the soldiers and horses of the right guard of Chengdu, and the commander is called Gu Chenxi." ”

"Gu Chenxi?"

An Yi repeated the name, feeling weird, and asked with a frown, "You're not mistaken, right?" Is the Commander of the Guard a woman? ”

"Men, how can they be women, make no mistake, this kind of big man gives a woman's name, and I have only seen Jiang Xiucai alone when he is so big."

An Yi nodded, "That's what I said, Jiang Ruyue can be a man, why can't Gu Chenxi." Let's go over and have a look. ”

With that, Jin Mingyin followed An Yi in the direction of the south gate of the city.

Standing on a high place, the six sons were directing the men under their hands to quickly load bags of grain and grass onto the flatbed truck, and then pull them out of the south gate of the city.

"Hurry up, you guys! And the ones over there, put them all on! ”

He was shouting at the top of his voice, when he saw two people coming towards him, Rao didn't see the face clearly, and he also saw the three-grade leopard-like supplement dress clearly, so he hurriedly jumped down from the pile of grain bags, walked to An Yi's front and arched his hand: "See the guerrilla lord." ”

An Yi said in his heart that these people are really watching people put down the menu, and the people in the green camp call him a commander when they see him, and the people in the guard station change their words to guerrillas.

An Yi held his hand at him and said, "Don't be polite, you are the soldiers and horses of the right guard of Chengdu?" ”。

"If you go back to your lordship, we are under the command of the commander of the right guard Gu in Chengdu, and we are .........."

Liuzi raised his head as he spoke, this look didn't matter to his face, he was so frightened that the whole sentence was bitten in half, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Why are you?" You...... Aren't you the commander of Sichuan? We're here? ”

An Yi looked at him with a surprised expression, smiled and replied: "You are in a hurry to leave in the morning, I haven't finished my words yet, I am not only the commander of Sichuan, but also the guerrilla general of Chengdu." What did you just say you were doing? And then what? ”

When the sixth son heard this, his heart was fifteen buckets of water, and he was up and down seven times.

I didn't know what the reason was last night, I drank with a group of Daxia officials, and when I woke up in the morning and listened to An Yi say that I thought he was just the commander of Sichuan, who knew that it was their top boss Chengdu guerrilla,

He had just talked to his uncle about meeting the official army at night, and he took a long detour for a while, so he came back late.

If the two of them meet, won't it all be exposed? Then the uncle still has to kill himself when he comes back?

"In that .........."

The sixth son was still thinking about how to fool this matter in his head, but he couldn't coordinate it at all, and he didn't know what to say.

As soon as An Yi met, he confirmed his identity from the depression on his right earlobe, and saw that he was stammering and speechless, until he was stunned in his heart, after all, what he did was not a good thing, so he also asked in a concealed manner: "By the way, this official has not seen you when he first came here, what is your name, and what position do you have in the army?" ”

Jin Mingyin stood behind An Yi and his eyes widened after hearing this, what does it mean to "haven't seen you yet"? Even if you don't remember last night, you should remember what you just said, right? Why don't you say you haven't seen them, why are they here?

As soon as the sixth son heard what he said, he also let out a long breath in his heart, and his heart turned out to be an adult who didn't remember anything, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. ”

An Yi smiled very warmly at him, then nodded and was about to speak,

I heard a powerful voice behind me,

"The one in front is the Chengdu guerrilla general Lord An?"

An Yi turned around and looked, a veteran with a silver beard and white hair wearing bright light armor walked towards him, I don't know if it was the sun or itself, the skin on this person's face was slightly red, if it was a long beard, it looked like a Guan Er Ye was alive.

The veteran stepped forward a few steps, looked very capable, and bowed deeply to Anyi.

An Yi raised his hand to hold him up and asked, "The general is Gu Chenxi, the commander of the right guard in Chengdu?" ”

The veteran smiled and waved his hand, explaining: "My lord has just arrived in Lanzhou, so I don't know you, I am He Ji, the commander of the left guard in Chengdu, because the soldiers and horses are also ready to assemble again, so I came to ask the commander Gu to borrow a way from his camp." ”

An Yi was also puzzled when he heard this, so he asked him why he was also from the camp in Chengdu and still borrowed the way?

"Your Excellency, don't you know, this Gu Commander is a very disciplined person, and everything has to be done in accordance with the rules of the army, so it's not the first time I've gone to him to borrow a way from him when he passes through his camp like this."

He Ji didn't have any obvious dissatisfaction on his face when he said it, as if it had become a habit as he said.

An Yi felt that this Gu Chenxi, as the commander of the first guard, was so conformist and inflexible, how could he make a flexible strategy on the ever-changing battlefield? No wonder it is said that it is the same Chengdu Guard, and the combat effectiveness of the Chengdu Left Guard is much higher than that of the Right Guard, it turns out that there is such a commander.

He Ji couldn't see what An Yi's expressionless face meant, so he asked tentatively, "My lord, do you need me to call Commander Gu here?" ”

"Forget it, wait until you get to Qingcheng, you two will come over together."

An Yi waved his hand at him and was about to turn around and leave, but he was just about to turn around and suddenly remembered someone, and asked, "By the way, do you have someone named Zhao Lingfeng there?" ”

He Ji Ying nodded and said, "Yes, what the adults are talking about is Zhao Lingfeng?" ”

An Yi vaguely remembered that when he was in Long'an Forest Farm, when Zhao Lingfeng surrounded him with cavalry, he seemed to say that he was a thousand households.

"Yes, that's right, it's him, wait until you get to Qingcheng and bring him to see me."

"Yes!"

northwest

Liao army battalion

Although the main camp of the Liao army was guarded by other generals, it was still carefully relied on by the old commander Han Guangde to rely on the high slope and water source, and was placed in the shape of an inverted triangle, showing a trend of easy defense and difficult attack.

Although the hill in front of the camp is not high, it can overlook the towering and solid city wall of Lanzhou in the distance under the clear weather.

A woman with a wonderful figure stands in the wind on the low cliff, looking at the east from a distance, slightly with dark red long hair and green silk and the golden silk luan bird behind her, with the whistling mountain wind hunting and flying, between the eyebrows engraved with a woman's rare perseverance, beautiful and gorgeous appearance with the innate nobility, so that the eyes looking at this vast world with a sense of shame that make Zheng Zheng men ashamed.

"Queen Mother, the mountain wind is cold, you must pay attention to the phoenix body!"

Generalissimo Han Guangde walked up from the bottom of the slope with two cavalrymen and asked with concern,

Xiao slowly turned around after a while, beckoned to Han Guangde, and motioned for him to come closer.

"You two are staying in the distance, be alert."

After he finished ordering the two personal soldiers under his command, he walked towards the slope, stood beside Empress Xiao, and bowed his hand to her: "Why is the Queen Mother here alone, we are now close to the Xia Army, you should always be careful." ”

Han Guangde is a man with five big and three thick, and he is a Khitan, tall and strong, he is so big compared to Jiang Shanglai, but he is respectful to Xiao Hou, who is as petite as a Han woman, and it makes people look like a different kind of fun from afar.

Empress Xiao smiled disapprerovingly when she heard his words, and asked, "What?" Han Shuai's hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, can't even protect me, a female stream? ”

"How dare you be."

Empress Xiao's eyes stretched out to look at the farther sky, and said with fascination: "I like to stand here, so that I can ignore the Han people's mandao Xiongguan, and go as far as you want." ”

Han Guangde understood what the Queen Mother meant, and responded with a smile: "The current Daxia is already a dying old man, riddled with illness, please rest assured that it won't be long before your eyes can see, and our soldiers will be able to hit wherever they are!" ”

Empress Xiao nodded and sighed softly, "The situation in the DPRK has been a little unstable since we left, and many ministers have a lot of complaints about our current situation, so I guess the army should also feel something, right?" ”

"Yes, I have also heard a little, I heard that the Northern Privy Envoy is very dissatisfied with our taking the entire territory of Lintao Mansion and still not returning to the court, but it is only because of the deterrence of the Queen Mother that he did not give an order to the old man. Recently, I have also been preparing for Lanzhou again, firstly, it is a frontal contact with the military defense of the Han people in Lanzhou, and secondly, it can be regarded as an explanation to the DPRK and China that we will continue to advance eastward. ”

Empress Xiao was already unhappy with the reaction of the court, and she knew that many ministers did not take advantage of this to make trouble, and some people were dissatisfied with her for leaving the little prince in the rear.

"The military commander can control it himself, don't sway the direction of the army because of the opinions of anyone in the court, everything is prioritized by our strategic goals, if they want to issue orders or gold medals on the Privy Council, let them all send them to me!"

"Yes!"

Having such an iron-fisted leader as Empress Xiao and absolute trust in him also made the old handsome Han Guangde feel very relaxed, and he didn't need to consider any political factors, just focus on stability and victory.

"Old Shuai, what's the situation on Xia Jun's side now?"

Han Guangde responded: "Queen Mother, now Chongzheng has fled to Xi'an, leaving only the Shu King Gao Youhong and Sun Dezhang to preside over the overall situation in Lanzhou, and the number of people deployed in Lanzhou City is about 100,000 people, all of whom are soldiers and horses from Shaanxi and Sichuan. ”

"Oh?"

Empress Xiao listened to his words, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Why did this old emperor suddenly wake up?" Then it seems that he brought all the Xia troops transferred from other places back to Lanzhou? ”

"That's right, although the number of people in Lanzhou City is smaller, according to my estimates, the combat power has increased instead of decreasing."

Empress Xiao pondered for a while and asked him, "How is the Han man I contacted last time?" ”

Although the west wind was fierce on this high slope, except for the two pro-soldiers, there was no ghost shadow of any other people, the old handsome Han Guangde still attached to Empress Xiao's ear and whispered: "It has been contacted, and the time has been set." ”

"Good!"

Empress Xiao nodded with satisfaction, the corners of her plump mouth were slightly raised,

"The old emperor also sent someone to dredge it, 100,000 people is not enough for me to eat."
