Chapter Ninety-One: The Impossible Encirclement
Chapter Ninety-One: The Encirclement That Can't Be Escaped
An Yi, Jin Mingyin and Jiang Shang, who had already settled the regimental training camp, came to the tent of the Chinese army camp together, Jiang Yun and Pei Zhenfeng were already sitting in the tent and waiting.
The tent was not very large, and the five of them simply sat on the ground, around a campfire in the middle.
At Anyi's suggestion, they communicated with each other what they knew.
Although An Yi had already been prepared, the huge amount of information still made him dumbfounded, and asked the two people in front of him: "So, in fact, the two of you were also forced back by the people of the Five Grains Sect, in fact, the south has no way back?" ”
Jiang Yun nodded, "That's right, and now the people and horses of the Wugu Sect are on the southern slope, and we also repelled one of their attacks on the mountain this morning, and from the condescending view of Fox Ridge, there are twenty or thirty thousand people." ”
"Isn't that about the same number of people as the Wugu Sect members who attacked Fox Ridge before? Didn't they say that there were only 30,000 people? There are 50,000 or 60,000 people who come and go. Jiang Shang interjected in surprise, this is indeed a bit different from the news they got before.
Pei Zhenfeng frowned, and said, "This batch of Wugu Sects in Brother Jiang's mouth is not the same group of people from the Lian Pozhong Military Camp, the Guards Battalion, and your regimental training camp before?" ”
"That's right, after they occupied Fox Ridge, they burned the fortress below the ridge, so we couldn't pass through it at that time, so we had to go north." Comfort responded.
"There is something unclear in the bottom, if they have been occupying Fox Ridge, then Jiang General and I will have nowhere to hide under the front blockade and rear pursuit, and the rout will inevitably become a foregone conclusion, why did they withdraw from Fox Ridge at this time?"
Pei Zhenfeng rubbed the sword in his hand, and muttered to himself in confusion.
An Yi felt in his heart that according to the current situation, the Wugu Sect had made it very clear that the target of Pei Zhenfeng and the men and horses they encountered was Zeng Hanru, the commander of the Sichuan capital, and the group of people they encountered first was likely to be themselves.
Zeng Ziren stole the tiger talisman, and then led a large army to suppress the bandits, this is not something that a rich son can do, if you want to say that no one instructs you, no one will believe it,
According to common sense, a mountain and wild evil sect mainly composed of displaced people did not take advantage of the air raids and plunders of the official army, but organized to besiege and kill the three members of the imperial court and the commander of the Sichuan capital in the first-line heavenly canyon.
Just because of this, their nature has completely changed, from a thief to a thief, from robbery to rebellion, from prison to Ling Chi and even the Nine Clans.
If people have to have a motive for doing things, An Yi can't think of what these people are trying to do this, yes! Even if the five grains teach people and horses well, and they have changed from 30,000 to 60,000, but this is not a disaster area full of hunger and death can respond to every call, not to mention the officials and troops of Chengdu and Long'an, that is, as soon as the war in the northwest stops, the king of Shu returns to the division with 50,000 guards, and they are not unable to escape?
Therefore, he believes that the Five Grains Sect is completely being used by others!
So, who is it that has to get rid of the commander? Or rather, whose way of wealth has been in the way of the commanders?
He didn't know this, and another thing he didn't understand was that he had not participated in the battle of Chengdu officialdom, so why did he become a thorn in the side of others inexplicably?
Alas, it would be nice if Jiang Ruyue was here, An Yi thought so.
However, he didn't plan to tell everyone here what he thought in his heart, after all, this shocking remark was just an inference, and there was no conclusive evidence, so how could it be good to "confuse the public with evil words".
"Commanders, we don't know the answer at the moment, in my opinion, the army we encountered when we came here will soon return here, and if we can't break through before they form a siege in the north and south, then the situation is really critical."
Comfort shifted the topic to its current form,
Jiang Yun nodded and agreed, "I'm discussing with Zhenfeng to see if we can organize the cavalry of the vanguard battalion, and wait until after nightfall, and attack the Wugu Sect on the southern slope with all our might, if we can tear a hole, we will have a chance to get out." ”
"How many cavalry do you have in the hands of the two commanders?" Jiang Shang asked,
Pei Zhenfeng and Jiang Yun looked at each other, looked at each other, and sighed, "Less than five hundred." ”
"More than 400 cavalry, attacking the camp of 20,000 or 30,000 troops, isn't it too risky?" Jiang Shang said bluntly.
"Although there are a lot of people and horses you have brought, but all of them are foot soldiers, and it can come in handy if you hold them up, but this camp kicking formation is completely ineffective, so I can only give it a go, and I can't think of a better way than that."
Jiang Yun looked a little helpless, he sighed heavily, facing an enemy army a hundred times his size, all the battles of the art of war seemed pale and powerless.
Jiang Shang didn't answer his words, but turned his head to look at An Yi, and said, "My lord, do you think we can come and play the morning play again?" ”
Jiang Yun and Pei Zhenfeng must not understand this, the two of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
But An Yi was suddenly enlightened by his words,
"That's right, we can pretend to be 'heavy cavalry' with fire from the firearms battalion. Medicine, touch into their camp, send them a fire, then it will definitely be a big mess, and then we will take advantage of the situation to kill a gap and plan the people on Fox Ridge to go down the mountain! ”
An Yi said as he looked at Jin Mingyin beside him,
His glance frightened Jin Mingyin, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Brother Yi, I won't play the protagonist this time, I'm really not the material for acting." ”
An Yi looked at his 10,000 reluctant look, smiled dumbly, and comforted him: "Don't worry, we don't need you to be the protagonist this time, but we need you to give us a good medicine, a good medicine that can make the Wugu Sect camp burn into a sky-high fire." ”
After listening to his words, Jin Mingyin suddenly turned from sadness to joy, and the crying expression on his face just now was suddenly swept away.
"Come on, Brother Yi, don't worry, I'm good at this, and this time I promise to help them recall the big flowers in Songling Village!"
The three of you are talking about it one by one, completely leaving Jiang Yun and Pei Zhenfeng aside,
The two of them couldn't catch up with the three of them at all, they couldn't insert a word, and they couldn't understand why these three were still talking and laughing at the moment when this was a difficult situation.......
Liu Siyi and Ziyun also followed to the Huling camp, but they did not go to the big tent of the Chinese army, but found an excuse and hid on a secluded high slope.
"My eldest lady, how long do you plan to stay in the regimental training camp? You know the Master is looking for you everywhere? Ziyun's anxious color is overflowing,
Liu Siyi didn't hurry to pinch the dog's tail grass in his hand, and responded absentmindedly: "What? Letter from the Master? ”
"It's rare that you can still remember the letters from the church." Ziyun glanced at her and teased: "I don't understand what is so good about that comfort, look at what fascinates you." ”
"Oh, what are you talking nonsense?" Liu Siyi pursed his delicate little mouth and turned his back,
Ziyun reluctantly turned to him from behind him, "You don't really want to be with him, do you?" ”
"Why not, what am I worse than Gao Yingshu?" Liu Siyi was very arrogant and straightened her already towering chest, but she didn't expect Ziyun's words to arouse her competitiveness.
Originally, Ziyun didn't want to say this, but she couldn't just watch Liu Siyi eat * day by day, and decided to wake her up.
"My sister Liu, why don't you understand, who is Gao Yingshu? The daughter of the King of Shu, the emperor's nobleman, is desperate for Anyi, and Anyi is also in love with her, if it continues to develop like this, it will be sooner or later for the two of them to raise their eyebrows.
Do you think that the king of Shu will let his daughter marry someone else? ”
In the Great Xia Dynasty, it was very common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and many officials and nobles in Wang Jing were also happy to do this as a romantic affair.
However, in this open era when there are no taboos on the affairs of men and women, there is also a strict hierarchy of his own,
Up to the royal family down to Li Min, wife, there can only be one, but the one in the imperial city is called the queen, and the one outside the imperial city is called the wife.
Wives are basically married to their husbands with both prosperity and loss, and enjoy equal rights to each other, respect each other, and even respect each other as guests.
Concubines, but there can be many, to put it bluntly, as long as you like it and have money to raise, not to mention four concubines, it is forty concubines, and it is not a strange thing.
Even many officials who are not so generous, in order to maintain fresh momentum, privately buy and sell each other and exchange concubines, which is just a secret that is not open.
Therefore, for most people, a concubine is just an object to vent their desires and continue the incense when necessary.
Liu Siyi knew what Ziyun meant, that Gao Yingshu was the only daughter of the King of Shu, and Gao Youhong could promise her that this precious daughter would be a concubine for others? I'm afraid that even if the emperor wants to accept Gao Yingshu as a concubine, he has to take into account the meaning of his eldest brother.
But
How about being small,
As long as you like it, and it seems that Gao Yingshu is also a gentle person, he shouldn't do that kind of abuse. Let's wait for the concubine's house.......
Yikes!
Liu Siyi's face "Teng" seemed to be suddenly ignited, from the corners of his mouth to the roots of his ears, and the white skin on his face was quickly dyed red with visible changes with the naked eye, and there was a tendency to catch up with the delicate red lips.
What's wrong with you?
Why did you start to think of making him a concubine?
No, no, Ziyun is right, am I already trapped?
However, I ..... I follow my own ideas and pursue what I want, this is who I am, this is Liu Siyi......
Ziyun looked at Liu Siyi's pretty face for a while and red for a while, she didn't know what she was thinking, why did her words provoke such a big reaction?
"Are you listening to me?"
She grabbed Liu Siyi's shoulder, and then fished out Liu Siyi, who was already completely immersed in her entanglement,
"No.... I didn't think about anything, by the way, didn't you just say that the sect leader came with news? What did you say? ”
Zi Yun felt that the "aphorism" that had been hesitating in her heart for a long time just now didn't seem to have any effect, and she replied angrily: "The position of Ning'er Dharma Protector that the sect leader has already granted, and if you want us to cooperate with her and assist Feng Jiao and Zhang Yu's men and horses in besieging Huling, we must see ..... within three days." Comfortable human head. ”
Although the word "comfortable" was paused by Ziyun with ulterior motives, it meant to tell Liu Siyi to face reality,
But hearing Liu Siyi's ears, it didn't arouse her big reaction,
"Well, I know it's going to be sooner or later."
Liu Siyi sighed softly, looking a little depressed.
"Master, you just listen to Yun'er once, they and the pioneer battalion combined, there are only more than a thousand people, even if the two of us help him together, it is impossible to escape from Feng Jia and Zhang Yu's tens of thousands of horses, this is a foregone conclusion, you and I can't change it, why do you have to sacrifice yourself in vain for a person who can't have results?"
Ziyun saw that Liu Siyi seemed to have acquiesced to the fact that it was about to happen, and hurriedly continued to persuade,
"Has he really looked at you all the way? It's just to make fun of you, haven't you seen enough of the life of Qianyunlou? Men are all the same, say something that shouldn't be said, An Yi is dying here today, and Gao Ying should be sad and sad, what kind of name are you Liu Siyi? I'm afraid I don't even have a reason to go to his grave and cry, right? ”
Her words were like a huge granite slab, weighing heavily on Liu Siyi's heart, making it difficult for her to breathe, and when she finally found a way to relieve the suffocation, someone took a hammer and smashed it her chest, smashing the slate into pieces along with her "delusions".
Liu Siyi knew that although Ziyun's words were ugly, she was the only one who was willing to say her sincere words so heartfelt, and what she said was ........ It's not true.
Unconsciously, a wisp of crystal condensed from the two black gems under the slender eyelashes, crossed the thin cheeks, and dripped on the bright red light gauze shirt.
In his eyes, a dusty woman like me may not be worth mentioning at all compared to a royal daughter like Miss Gao.
There are times in life that must be there, and there are times in life when you don't force it,
After all, there is still no fate, so let's accept fate......
Liu Siyi gently brushed away the tears on her cheeks with the corner of her sleeve, raised her head and looked at Ziyun with a forced smile,
"Let's go, we should go back too."
As he spoke, he silently walked in the direction of the camp gate.
Ziyun looked at Liu Siyi's thin and lonely figure, and sighed deeply,
"Well, why bother."
