Chapter 404: Gao Yu's Death Hole
The 10,000 cavalry of the Liangshan Army had already been drawn out for the first time, and they were rushing towards Tokyo City, and it was not until this time that Lu Xu, who witnessed the whole process of dispatching troops, reacted from the huge shock and fear.
He hurriedly grabbed one of his attendants beside him, and said in a low voice: "Quick, quick, go and tell the minister!" ”
The man also came back to his senses, nodded to Lu Xuan with a confused and shocked expression, turned around and ran in the direction of the city gate.
There had already been a companion who had brought the horses from the inn, and the man stepped up and immediately whipped the horse on the horse's stock, and he wanted to change people and horses as fast as he could, and tell the news to Captain Gao Yu Gao in Xingren Mansion.
At the same time, more people were like Lu Xu's subordinates, going crazy and galloping like horses to bring this amazing news to various places.
You must know that this time the imperial court raised 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Liangshan army, and after the intentional spread of the Liangshan army, at least everyone in the entire Gyeonggi Road, Jingdong Road and Hebei Road can be said to be known.
In addition to Gao Yu, there were naturally other people who paid attention to the progress of this battle and the response of the Liangshan army.
For example, the former Tai students who have been squatting in Shuibo Nancheng to observe, the candidate official Zha Huairen and Gu Pengzhen of Linpu Zhi County.
Before or after, on the same day, Zha Huairen heard the news, and the pretentious he was immediately stunned.
How can it be! How could the Liangshan army still pull out 20,000 such elite cavalry?
Besides, is Liang Shanjun crazy? With this little force, they dare to besiege Bianjing City, and they also say that they want to kill Zichen Palace, are they crazy, or do they really have the ability?
Not long after, Gu Pengzhen also knew the news, and the county magistrate who pointed out the country was also stupid.
"Impossible, Liang Shanjun must be bluffing, they must be going for Captain Gao of Xingren Mansion! Also, has Lin Chong's gang really been extricated from Hedong? ”
"Captain, Liang Shanjun must be crazy! Either it was a plan to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and they wanted to transfer us to save Bianjing, and they relieved the siege of Liangshan! ”
In Gao Yu's marching camp outside Xingren Mansion, Gao Yu heard the news and immediately ordered the whole army to stop requisitioning grain and assemble urgently; Scatter several times the scouts to scout the horses, and report the whereabouts of the Liangshan army at any time; At the same time, all military generals were convened to discuss countermeasures.
Duan Pengju, the supervisor of the Suizhou Soldiers and Horses, was the first to stand up and express his opinion, in his mind, the Liangshan Army wanted to attack Bianliang City with this little soldier and horse, it was simply whimsical!
You must know that the Great Song Dynasty has implemented a policy of strong cadres and weak branches since the founding of the country, and at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the capital gate near the left side of Bianjing was the strongest army in the world, and it fought in the south and the north, and successively destroyed several countries such as Nanping, Chu, Houshu, Southern Han, Southern Tang, and Northern Han, and unified the world, and how strong the soldiers were!
Even if the Dumen Forbidden Army has not heard of the war for many years, it is still the strongest place in the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army except for the Western Army, and the number is also the largest, at least three or four hundred thousand.
Moreover, the art of war has clouds and reality, and fiction is real, and the way of practical soldiers is also virtual, so in Duan Pengju's view, Liang Shanjun released a big word at this time to fight Bianjing, and more than ninety percent of it was a bluff, encircling Wei to save Zhao, and the purpose was just to solve the siege of Bianliang.
Duan Pengju's words were immediately agreed by the others, and he listened to Li Mingdao, the commander of the Xuzhou Soldiers and Horses: "Besides, the Taiwei's soldiers and horses are stationed in Xingren Mansion, just blocking the Liangshan Army on the way to Bianjing, how can they bypass us?" The last general thinks that this must be a bluff! ”
The other eunuchs also nodded in agreement at this time, but Gao Yu, Yumei, Bi Sheng, Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang and the others only frowned.
At this time, Yingzhou Runan Jiedu envoy Mei Zhan and Langya Pengcheng Jiedu envoy Xiang Yuanzhen will also rush to Xingren Mansion to meet Gao Yu, after all, the two of them are with Wang Huan and Xu Jing in the northwest with the Western Thieves and Tubo Zhubu, and rely on military exploits to achieve the position of Jiedu envoy.
Therefore, the two of them looked at the problem differently from others, so they heard Mei Zhan Mei Dalang mutter: "You have forgotten that he said that he was in exchange with Lin Chong and Bianjing, where is the main force of Lin Chong's 40,000 Liangshan Army now, do you have exact information?" ”
And Xiang Yuanzhen said: "This matter is very strange, how can the Liangshan Army have such cavalry and so many tall and strong horses?" Captain Gao, how much do you know about the reality of the Liangshan Army? How can the information be so wrong? ”
Gao Yu has always been a narrow-minded villain who is eager to repay himself, but at this time, he can't care about being angry and showing off his authority, like everyone else, he is also thinking about where so many cavalry of the Liangshan Army came out? Then there is whether the cavalry of the Liangshan Army really wants to drive straight to Bianjing.
However, unlike the optimistic attitude of Duan Pengju and others, Gao Yu was terrified and shocked after thinking of the consequences of this incident.
Others don't know what's going on with these hundreds of thousands of gates and forbidden troops, but as the third lieutenant of the palace marshal's mansion, will they not know?
Although there are more than 300,000 on the military register of the Dumen Forbidden Army, the actual number is far from that much.
That's it, but the biggest problem is that most of the gate control army has long been turned into a construction team by themselves, and they are good at repairing houses and doing crafts; Fighting on the battlefield, I'm afraid it's far better than scattering forbidden armies everywhere.
The only thing that the Metropolitan Gate Forbidden Army can handle is less than 100,000 elite soldiers in the imperial camp!
But how can the soldiers and horses of the imperial battalion easily go to battle, let alone send them all, once they are killed by the Liangshan army to the city of Bianjing, the official family does not know the truth, and will definitely send other soldiers to fight, and when the time comes, there will be no soldiers in the barracks (all of them will work), wouldn't it be exposed?
Even if they are reluctantly gathered and pulled into battle, they will be crushed at the touch of a button!
It will even affect the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp, and if even the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp are defeated, won't the "illusion" of the strong and weak branches of the Great Song Dynasty be punctured?
In any case, Gao Yu is most reluctant and most afraid that the Liangshan cavalry is really coming to Bianjing, and once the world knows that Bianjing is heavily armed, the strong cadres and weak branches have long become empty words, so will the forbidden armies and border armies in various places, especially the Western Army, which already has the signs of feudal towns, obey the center of the imperial court?
If you let the official family know what they have done, especially after the Liangshan soldiers came to Bianjing City, tore off the mask of the strong and weak branches, and threatened the safety of the Taoist officials, would the officials not deal with themselves?
Straight lady thief, this Lin Chong also came out of Bianjing City, and he had a hot fight with Cao Song and Gao Zhongwu before, so he naturally knew that the reality of the Bianjing City Gate Forbidden Army.
If you don't make a move this time, you will hit your own death hole as soon as you make a shot!
