Chapter 201 The Danger of Tongzhou
Chapter 201 The Danger of Tongzhou
At the beginning of the rising sun, countless dewdrops between the leaves and on the grass appear more and more crystal clear under the sunlight, and the cheerful birds scurry between the trees, from time to time with crisp chirps. Adult mini-games . In order to encourage people's diligence, someone once said: The early bird gets the worm! However, some lazy people raised-for-tat objections, what will be the treatment of the early worms? Yes, of course . Eaten by birds.
More than a dozen war horses ran through the grass without hurrying, and along the way I don't know how many crystal dewdrops were swept into the mud, brilliant for the dew is only a momentary thing, and it is the same for people, yesterday's yellow flower is a portrayal of people's nostalgia for the past.
Guan Shengzhi suddenly reined in the war horse, his eyebrows almost wrinkled into the word 'Chuan', and the scouts behind him also stopped together, waiting for Shangguan's order.
After Guan Shengzhi succeeded Li Xiaoyun, he took over as the deputy general of the commander of the Tianwei Army's Poison Dragon Brigade, it stands to reason that he didn't need to personally lead the scouts out to reconnoitre, but the situation at this moment is different! Twenty days ago, the Poison Dragon Brigade received an urgent military order from Yizhou to prevent the enemy from attacking from Yongzhou, or transporting troops from the Nu River to intercept the retreat of Hushitai, so Ren Shuai ordered people to build a lot of tall wooden frames along the Nu River, and placed two of them every one mile, winding and stretching to more than fifty miles, as long as the whereabouts of the enemy army are present, the wooden frames will be lit one after another, and Ren Shuai and the Tianwei army guarding Hushitai can get the news at the first time. That's not all, all the scouts of the Poison Dragon Brigade are concentrated on the Tongzhou line, increasing the search range. Although this response took a lot of manpower, no one dared to take it lightly. Since Qian Buli established the Tianwei Army, reconnaissance has become the first priority of the Tianwei Army.
But just three days ago, a strange thing happened, the scouts of the Poison Dragon Brigade suddenly encountered scouts of unknown origin during reconnaissance, and the two sides had three encounters in different locations almost at the same time, and the winners of the encounters were all scouts of the Poison Dragon Brigade. After the news came back, Ren Shuai was shocked. On the one hand, Du Bing was notified overnight to prepare for the withdrawal of troops, and on the other hand, he urgently prepared for war. However, the enemy scouts disappeared inexplicably, as suddenly as inexplicably.
Scout battles are all man-to-man, and it is impossible to analyze anything in terms of numbers, and the scouts of the Poison Dragon Brigade have searched a radius of more than 100 miles like a comb in the past three days, but nothing has appeared, and there are no enemy scouts. There is no main army of the enemy.
Last night, Ren Shuai seconded Zheng Xinglang's 300 scouts, together with the scouts of the Poison Dragon Brigade, led by Guan Shengzhi, to conduct a large-scale search operation. But a whole night has passed, and no clues have been found, Guan Shengzhi feels extremely anxious! General Wang Rui's precious pamphlet has been circulated, and the generals at all levels in the Tianwei Army are proud to have a pamphlet, and Guan Shengzhi himself has one. He firmly remembered a sentence in the booklet: If something happens, there must be a demon! Enemy scouts don't appear here for no reason, and they don't disappear for no reason! There must be a conspiracy in it!
But the army can't move blindly, it must find out the news of the enemy army, and then make corresponding actions, the generals of the Tianwei army are waiting for themselves to bring back the news, is it another day in vain? To know. It's been three days now, and I can't afford to wait! Guan Shengzhi couldn't help but sigh.
As the deputy general of Ren Shuaidi, Guan Shengzhi knows a lot of inside information, the reason why the Tianwei army has to defend the Hushitai is because of the tax in Tongzhou this year, and the cautious General Wang Rui has already put forward his own opinions and asked for a comprehensive withdrawal of the army, but the main general Du Bing is hesitant. Guan Shengzhi understood why Du Bing hesitated, if he withdrew the army now, it would mean giving up his efforts all along. A month of bloody war is tantamount to a vain. Nothing! At this time, giving up Tongzhou was equivalent to being beaten back, and the Rus Empire and the United States were overwhelmed. The great opportunity brought by the border crisis of Ji Zhou was wasted! Guan Shengzhi understands that no one will be reconciled if he is replaced, and the brothers in the bloody battle of Hushitai suffered more than 4,000 casualties before they recovered the decline, so they gave up? !
"My lord, there is Xiaohuang Village in front, according to the plan, we have to go back and hand over the order. One of the scouts said in frustration that after a tired night, nothing was there, and it was inevitable that he would be depressed.
"the s*** plan!" Guan Shengzhi was already anxious, and was provoked by the words 'go back to hand over the order', and he was angry at that time, what should he do when he went back? General Ren Shuai was full of hope that he could bring good news, did he go back and say that he couldn't find anything?
"My lord, or . . . . Let's go a little further? It's too late to go back at noon. ”
"Keep going! **, even if I go all the way to Yongzhou, I have to dig them out, and if I can't find anyone, I won't go back! Guan Shengzhi said angrily.
The scouts looked at each other, these words were obviously angry, how could they not go back? But seeing that the adults are so popular, no one dares to talk more.
Guan Shengzhi took his squad out of the scout brigade and rushed through Huangcun to move forward alone, in fact, the scouts searched the means were very simple, mainly to observe hoof prints, horse manure, and ask farmers everywhere for news, and the most important thing was to go to all the suitable places to camp. No matter how hard the enemy tried to march in secret, and did not dare to take it lightly when setting up camp and resting ground, it would inevitably leave traces of one kind or another all around. It is difficult for ordinary people to see what is going on, but for elite scouts, from the terrain, the size of the camp, the traces left by the construction of defenses and stoves, you can determine the approximate number of enemy troops, the number of cavalry, the ability of enemy scouts is not outstanding, and even you can see whether the character of the enemy commander tends to be cautious or a little reckless.
It seems difficult but it is very simple to say, every move in the march and camp has accumulated thousands of years of wisdom, from the stove can easily judge the number of enemy troops, the amount of horse manure can be inferred the number of cavalry; If all traces of the stove are destroyed, and the horse manure left behind is also collected, it can only prove one thing, the enemy commander has almost a harsh and meticulous mind! It is important to know that cleaning up the traces also costs the soldiers physical strength, which adds to the burden of the next day's march. Moreover, the traces left by the camp cannot be cleaned, as long as the other party's scouts find the location of the camp, they will be seen through, so there are many lords who will not clean up the traces left by themselves. As for the strength of the enemy's scouts, it is necessary to find out from the surroundings of the camp, if a large number of hoof prints and horse manure are left in the camp area, it means that the enemy scouts are very serious and responsible. If there are few hoof prints and horse manure, it means that the enemy scouts are slack.
Although the scout team led by Guan Shengzhi does not have Yang Yuanjing's scout elite. But compared to the Iron Wave Army, it is not inferior at all, but unfortunately, from early morning to noon, they still did not find any traces, and even carefully observed the horse manure on the road, but in the end they were still disappointed.
"Your Excellency. Let's go to the village in front of us to rest for a while, and after nibbling on several dry foods, our tongues are dry, and we might as well buy something to eat there for a change of taste. A scout stepped forward and whispered.
"Okay. All right. Guan Shengzhi nodded helplessly, he was now extremely depressed, if he rushed back in the early morning, at best it would only disappoint Ren Shuai. But now when I go back, I have one more charge of acting without permission.
A scout took out the military map of Tongzhou and looked at it, it was a small village called Wating Village, and it was just a black dot on the map, indicating that the population of that village was less than 100 people.
Ignoring the stunned farmers in the village, Guan Shengzhi led the people to a farmhouse that looked relatively wealthy. Jumping off the warhorse, he wanted to buy some wine to drink, it would be good for people who lived in thatched huts to have some food at home, and if he wanted to buy wine, he had to find such a family with tiled houses.
A farmer in his early four years with a wrinkled face greeted him, and when he saw Guan Shengzhi and others, he was startled and asked timidly: "How many military masters. You guys.... ”
"Fellow, don't be afraid, let me ask you, have you seen any soldiers from here in the past few days?" Guan Shengzhi does not leave the bank in three sentences. At the same time, he looked at the farmer carefully. His face is wrinkled, his face is dark, and his hands are thick in bones. The palm of his left hand is covered with calluses, and he looks like a pure farmer.
"No, no. The farmer waved his hand.
"Do you have any wine here?" Guan Shengzhi didn't expect to find out any big news from here.
"There are some wines, Master Jun, they are all rice wine made by my family, I'm afraid. It's not to the appetite of the military master. ”
"Whatever he had, I bought it. Guan Shengzhi took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, about twenty of them, and he handed them over: "Find some food for my brothers, it's good." ”
The farmer stared blankly at the copper coin, and looked like he wanted to take it but didn't dare to take it.
"Then, hurry up and bring me the wine. Guan Shengzhi shouted, his mood was very bad, and he naturally did not have a good look.
"Master Xie. The farmer was overjoyed to take the copper coin, and trotted to the house: "Old woman, come out quickly and wait for the military master, and find some land to eat. Be good! ”
Guan Shengzhi swaggered on the horse in the courtyard, habitually looked around, the standard farm yard, very usual, the rest of the scouts also poured in, each looking for their own place to rest, riding a horse in a short period of time is enjoyment, riding for a long time will become a sin, not only people, even horses have to rest, not to mention that the sun is poisoning now, it should indeed be avoided for a while before leaving.
The farmer's wife came out first and made tea, of course the tea in the farmer's house was inferior, but the scouts didn't care about this, who would want to be a soldier if they were eligible to enjoy it? Soldiers are meant to fight, and scouts suffer far more than ordinary soldiers, and they even drank snow water in a hurry, not to mention that the tea in front of them is still tea!
After the farmer's wife ran into the kitchen and lit the stove, a scout followed him to see what he could prepare for himself. Adults give you money to prepare food, so you can prepare this thing for Lao Tzu? You want to die, don't you?! ”
Guan Shengzhi was already in a bad mood, and when he heard the scout scolding, he couldn't help but be furious: "Which rabbit cub is yelling there?!" What is Article 7 of the Tianwei Military Regulations? Don't disturb the people, do you know? I think it's you who wants to die, get out of here! ”
The scout hurriedly ran out, holding something in his hand, and said with a face full of grievances, "My lord." You give them money and they prepare to eat the land, but what do they prepare? It's a bean cake! After speaking, the scout stretched out his hand, and what he was holding in his hand was a piece of bean cake, which was the fodder for war horses, and it was no wonder that the scout fire.
The farmer's wife followed. He smiled and said, "Master Jun, this thing is boiled and eaten by soaking it in water." But it's very fragrant. ”
"You*** are still picking fat and thin! Get out of here and cool off! You won't eat lunch today. After Guan Shengzhi finished speaking, he turned to the old woman: "Fellow, you don't have to be afraid, don't worry about him, I'll eat bean cakes today!" ”
The scout sighed that he had been unlucky, that he had touched the adult's bad head, and he did not dare to say anything, but obediently went to the corner and squatted down. The rest of the scouts squeezed at each other, and no one spoke.
The farmer's wife took a bite of "Thank you, Master Jun", turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Guan Shengzhi took a breath and muttered in a low voice: "These rabbit cubs also provoked bean cakes, Lao Tzu still wished he could eat bean cakes every day when he was a child!" After a few years as a soldier, I was still delicate. Speaking of this, Guan Shengzhi was suddenly stunned, and his eyes burst into coldness. shouted: "You stop me!" His eyes were fixed on the old woman's back.
Guan Shengzhi's shout was extremely loud, and the old woman was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground, while the scouts stood up together, their hands firmly gripping the hilt of their swords, and the unclever people could not be scouts at all, from Guan Shengzhi's shouting. They all heard that something was wrong.
Guan Shengzhi strode over, snatched the bean cake from the old woman's hand, and observed it carefully. War horses are delicate, there must be food supply, so as not to lose fat, and compared with other grains, soybean cake has the benefits of easy transportation and not easy to deteriorate, so each team uses soybean cake to make feed for war horses. The question is, where did the family's bean cake come from! In terms of hardness and color, this is no different from the feed used in the army. It was never made by your own family. Guan Shengzhi watched his parents make bean cakes when he was a child, and the people made bean cakes for food. The army makes bean cakes for transportation and storage, and the texture between them is very different.
"Where did this come from?!" Guan Shengzhi's voice turned cold.
"This is . It's our own home. The old woman was visibly alarmed.
Guan Shengzhi sneered, looked around, observed with a hearted gaze, and suddenly found out something wrong, Guan Shengzhi pushed away the old woman, strode forward, there was a calf tied in the bullpen, but the corner of the fence was a pile of horse manure, Guan Shengzhi kicked the dung pile with his foot, and it was still wet inside.
"You still have horses at home? How many horses do you have? What about horses?? ”
By this time, the scouts had already cooperated and stood at the four corners of the courtyard, and some people stood on the railing and quietly looked out, while the farmer was caught by the scouts and thrown on the ground, and a teenage child was also driven out.
"Master Jun, there are no horses in the villain's house. The farmer was so frightened that he cried out.
"What's the matter with horse manure without horses?" Guan Shengzhi was shocked, stepped forward and grabbed the farmer's collar: "Where did this bean cake come from?" ”
"Horse manure was picked up by the villain in the village, bean cake . The bean cake is made by the villain. ”
"Fart!" Guan Shengzhi kicked the farmer down, took out his long sword and stabbed it against the farmer's neck: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, Lao Tzu will slaughter your family!" Tell me! Where did the bean cake come from? ”
"Stealing the land, stealing the land, it's the villain who stole it!" The farmer screamed.
"Where did you steal the land?"
"Yes . ”
The scouts drew their long swords together and threatened, "Say it quickly! "All of them had a fierce light on their faces, which was very scary.
"It was the villain who stole it from the military master, don't kill me. The farmer could not bear the intimidation, and tears flowed from his eyes.
"Master Jun? Didn't you start by saying that you hadn't seen a soldier? ”
"Master Jun, those Master said that if we talk nonsense, they will kill my whole family. The farmer cried. In the era of war, the people are not as good as grass, fortunately both armies are natives, if it was a battle in a different place, in order to ensure that the news does not leak, the village would have been slaughtered a long time ago.
"Don't be afraid, fellow. Guan Shengzhi slowed down, and then took out two silver coins: "Tell me everything you know, and then the money will belong to you." Guan Shengzhi told the farmer not to be nervous, but his face was full of nervousness, this news was too important.
There is no trivial matter in the war, no matter how insignificant a small thing is, it can also turn the tide of the war, Guan Shengzhi this time is just out of resentment, and he walked thirty miles more than planned, but who would have thought that these thirty miles of road would become a lifesaver for the Tianwei army!
Guan Shengzhi asked in detail, the soldier's armor, flags, numbers, and the number of horses were all asked thoroughly, of course, the farmer's answer was very vague, such as asking about the number of people, the farmer just said a lot, how many, but he couldn't say a number, but Guan Shengzhi felt that what he knew was enough.
Guan Shengzhi asked the farmer to find two sets of clothes, and then left Wating Village with the scouts, this important news must be transmitted back as soon as possible, everyone no longer cares about horsepower, desperately whips the war horse, and gallops towards the Hushitai. In the meantime, three horsemen left the brigade and marched in the direction pointed by the farmer, and their mission was to find out the whereabouts of the enemy army, and the battle in Tongzhou began.
