Chapter 81: Digging a Pit
On the second day, Xiao Daocheng personally took the crown prince Xiao Yan and the third prince Xiao Che to see off the two armies that were about to go on the expedition. This time it can be described as huge, the eldest prince Xiao Yin and the second prince Xiao Yu also accompanied the army, which is rare since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.
Xiao Daocheng stood on the school field and said to the soldiers below: "My soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, we have just been peaceful for three years, and the enemy is here again. We want peace, we don't want war, but if we want peace, we must first be strong enough, and this time we must let them know that our Great Song Dynasty is no longer the backward Song State that they trampled on. This time we will not only repel the enemy army, but also hurt them, so that they will never dare to invade our land again, you tell me, can you do it? ”
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
The voice below came like a tsunami, Xiao Daocheng nodded with satisfaction, and then took the military seal from Xiao Yan and Xiao Che and handed it to Deng Yuanjue and Tian Yulong respectively, and said: "I now entrust the army to the two of you, and I hope that the two of you will fight bravely on the front line to kill the enemy and make new contributions." On the day of triumph, I will greet you both here, and I will celebrate your achievements at that time. ”
Deng Yuanjue and Tian Yulong fell to the ground, took the military seal, and said, "The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust." ”
Deng Yuanjue led his army all the way to Yuzhou, while Shi Luosheng, Liu Zixuan, and Wang Lun followed Tian Yulong's army to Cangwu.
During the march, Tian Yulong and Xiao Yu were polite to Shi Luosheng, and did not mention Tian Yufeng and Zhang Qiyu, and they did not have any intention of making things difficult after arriving in Cangwu. But Shi Luosheng didn't dare to take it lightly, and was careful everywhere.
Li Peifu on the Qin side was not in a hurry to fight, and let the pioneer Lin Peiyuan set up camp twenty miles away from Cangwu City, and he commanded remotely in Yulin City on the border of Qin and Song.
Lin Peiyuan also closed the door of the village according to Li Peifu's instructions, and Tian Yulong came to the door several times to call for battle, but Lin Peiyuan ignored it.
Faced with this situation, Tian Yulong and Xiao Yu were a little puzzled, the Qin army came to attack the city but had been defending, but they were here to defend the city but were in a hurry to attack.
Tian Yulong asked Shi Luosheng: "Mrs. Shi, in your opinion, what is Li Peifu's plan?" ”
Shi Luosheng thought for a while and said: "The last general thinks that Li Peifu should be waiting, waiting for the result of the battle between General Deng and Gao Kegong, if the general wins, Li Peifu should withdraw his troops, if Gao Kegong wins, Li Peifu will lead the army to pick up the cheap." ”
Tian Yulong snorted coldly and said: "This Li Peifu is also a chicken thief, he doesn't want to contribute, he just wants to pick up cheap, how can there be such a good thing in the world." Xu Wenzhe, you will lead another 5,000 troops to call for battle. ”
Xu Wenzhe was the tiger general who killed Zhang Mancheng in Jeju at the beginning, and this time he also followed Tian Yulong to Cangwu with the army. Xu Wenzhe took the military order and led the troops out of the camp, and Tian Yulong said again: "When we came out, Your Majesty said that this time we would not only win, but also hurt them, so that they would not dare to do it again next time." But now that they've been curled up in turtle shells, how can we hurt them? Shi Taifu, I want to storm Lin Peiyuan's camp, what do you think? ”
Shi Luosheng stopped: "Although a strong attack can also take Lin Peiyuan's camp, but we also have to pay a lot of price, maybe Li Peifu has already laid an ambush and is waiting for us to attack." In the end, there will be a plan, which can retire Lin Peiyuan. ”
Tian Yulong said happily: "Oh? Mrs. Fu, please speak. ”
Shi Luosheng said: "Lord Taiwei can send two teams of men and horses to be stationed on the left and right sides of Lin Peiyuan's camp respectively, and take turns to let people beat gongs and drums every morning and evening to interfere with the rest of Lin Peiyuan's army. After a few days, he will definitely not be able to bear it, and then he will either lead his army to retreat to Yulin City, or go out to battle to defeat these two camps. The Captain can send someone to keep an eye on him, and if he withdraws, we will take the opportunity to pursue him, and if he goes to fight these two camps, we will intercept his camp. ”
Tian Yulong praised: "Okay, Taifu really has a good plan, I will give you 1,000 people each, and ask Taifu and General Liu to camp near Lin Peiyuan's camp, you can agree on a good time, and you will keep interfering with Lin Peiyuan." If he comes to intercept your camp, find a way to hold him back and buy us time to attack his camp. If he retreats to Yulin City, you will also be responsible for pursuing him, and you will not let him escape. ”
When Shi Luosheng heard this, he scolded in his heart, but he still took over the military order in his hand, led a unit with Liu Zixuan, and set up two camps near Lin Peiyuan's camp.
Wang Lun smiled bitterly: "This time the general has moved a stone to shoot himself in the foot, if Lin Peiyuan chooses to rob the camp, I dare to conclude that Tian Yulong will not send any reinforcements to save us, we can only rely on ourselves to defend it, if we can't hold it, maybe we will have to be questioned by Tian Yulong when we go back." It would be even worse if Lin Peiyuan chose to withdraw to Yulin City, we would definitely not be able to catch up, and we would still have to be held accountable by Tian Yulong, alas. ”
Shi Luosheng also knew what was at stake, and sighed and said: "No wonder Tian Yulong has been able to work in the position of a lieutenant for so many years, when it comes to playing political tricks, I really want to learn from him, I have firmly memorized this lesson today." ”
Wang Lun pondered: "There are only 1,000 people in each of our camps, but Lin Peiyuan has 30,000 people in his hands. Anyway, our task is just to drag him down and let him pursue us, as long as we can drag it out for two or three hours, it will not be easy for Captain Tian to condemn us, and his own army of 50,000 can't take down a camp, so how can he be embarrassed to punish us. ”
Shi Luosheng's heart moved, and said: "What Mr. said makes sense, and I also thought of a way that can be combined with Mr.'s method." Lin Peiyuan now has two choices, one is to return to Yulin City, and the other is to send people to rob the village. If he retreats to Yulin City, we will definitely not be able to pursue him, and then we will find an excuse for Tian Yulong to deal with us, so we can't let him choose to return to Yulin City. ”
Wang Lun reacted, and continued: "There is only one way to make Lin Peiyuan choose to attack us without retreating to Yulin, and that is that we are weak enough. ”
Shi Luosheng said tacitly: "Yes, thanks to Taiwei Tian, we let Lin Peiyuan know that there are only 1,000 people in these two camps, and there is such a huge disparity in strength and weakness, Lin Peiyuan will definitely choose to send someone to rob the camp." In addition, Lin Peiyuan, as the vanguard officer selected by Li Peifu, will not be incompetent, and he should be able to judge that the role of these two camps is to interfere with and lure him. ”
Wang Lun continued: "So he will definitely not come to intercept the village in person, but choose to wait in the camp for Tian Taiwei to rob his village, and there will not be too many people he sent to attack us." ”
Shi Luosheng said with a smile: "When Tian Yulong goes to intercept the village, he will find that he has encountered a hard bone, maybe Lin Peiyuan has set a trap waiting for him." And we can keep it, and if we can't hold it, we will retreat, and attract them to pursue us. In the end, no matter whether Tian Yulong can take Lin Peiyuan or not, anyway, our task is completed, and he can't blame us. ”
After Shi Luosheng finished speaking, he looked at Wang Lun, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
