Chapter 144: Ancient Tang Dao
The southern border has always been plagued by wild animals, such as Chungling, and the wolves from Tongbai Mountain and Yunmengze often rush to the village in groups.
However, the wolf plague is not much of a problem for the stubborn Wuyang Army.
After only one day of repairing in Chungling, the Wuyang army rushed along the ancient Tang Road.
This ancient road has not been walked for many years, so it is overgrown with weeds and mostly deserted paths.
The terrain of Tongbai Mountain is not precipitous, compared to the nearby Fangcheng Mountain, the mountain of Tongbai Mountain is flat, and the scout camp and the local farmers recruited have already explored most of the old traces of the ancient Tang Road.
In the past two days, the dry grain bacon has been prepared, and the light army has gone into battle, and when the grain truck cannot be guaranteed to pass through the ancient Tang Road, it means that the Wuyang soldiers who are interspersed with the ancient Tang Road must ensure their own food supply.
Lin Yuyan prepared dry food for seven days, and led the Wuyang army across Tongbai Mountain.
The movement of thousands of people frightened the birds and beasts in the mountains, and even if they spent the night in Tongbai Mountain, the wild animals in the mountains were afraid of the bonfire and did not dare to approach.
"Your Highness, there may be a miasma in the forest tomorrow morning!" Fang De reminded.
Lin Yuyan said: "Tell the soldiers to put the cotton cloth in their bags dipped in water on their mouths and noses, don't trim it at night, and hurry as soon as possible!" ”
"Whoa!"
Fang De was a little surprised, this pampered sixth son of the emperor in his opinion was able to withstand the bumps of the army's march, and he did not plan to repair for a while.
Fang De sent his cronies to let Wuyangjun catch up again.
The ancient Tang Road goes straight into Tongbai Mountain, although it is a mountain road, but the distance between the front and back is only dozens of miles, just after a day and a night, the Wuyang army has crossed Tongbai Mountain and reached the northern boundary of Yunmengze.
The scout camp Chu Luan came to report, and a deserted ancient city was found a few miles ahead!
Lin Yuyan rushed over, only to find that on a broken gate tower in the ancient city, the word "Tang" could be faintly seen.
It seems that it must be the ancient city of the old [Tang Kingdom], Lin Yuyan said with certainty in his heart, but when he looked inside, this ancient city was completely deserted, and only a piece of ruins remained.
"I'm stationed here tonight, and the scout battalion will send people forward, General Fang, you are familiar with the bright post and secret sentry, so I won't lie about it." Lin Yuyan said.
I have to say that Lin Yuyan's performance along the way has made Fang De realize that this is not a bombastic prince, and gradually accepted the fact that the sixth son of the emperor is the commander.
And Fang De is in the Nanyang Army, and he is not a commander-in-chief, so he feels that Lin Yuyan's decision is not wrong, so he is not opposed.
This ancient city has been completely deserted, and some soldiers originally planned to burn the barren grass in these ancient cities, but they were stopped by Fang De, saying that the fire smoke would cause other movements.
After all, there are 3,000 strong people, and it is not difficult to clean up this ancient city, and it is almost dark when it is already cleaned up.
Moreover, the earthen wall outside the ancient city has also been repaired, and it cannot be said that it can have much defensive effect, at least it can ensure that it will not be attacked by wild wolves.
Fang De sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, marching and fighting, and did not pay attention to anything else, even if Lin Yuyan's tent was a handsome tent, in order to save convenience, he also rested with Zhu Zongwei.
And Fang De's purpose in staying in this camp is also to discuss the next countermeasures with Lin Yuyan, except for knowing that "the Northern King Army of Jing State is stationed in Suiguo", the rest of the news is unknown.
Suddenly, I heard Jing Yi come to report: "Your Highness, Chu Luan is back." ”
"Recruit in!" Lin Yuyan commanded.
Chu Luan, as a centurion in the scout camp, hadn't closed his eyes for two days and one night, and his eyes were red when he looked at it.
"Your Highness, more than ten miles away from the ancient city, there is a small city, among which there are hundreds of people who levy grain, and the scout camp is already eyeing them, and it is estimated that the person who can levy grain in this area should be the Northern King Army of the Jing Kingdom!"
Fang De said: "Your Highness, without further ado, it is better to let the last general rush over with his men and horses while the sky is dark, and capture the person who collects grain, and he can also ask for a little information!" ”
"Hmm." Lin Yuyan nodded, and then said: "The tiger fights the rabbit with all his strength, this is the first stop of the Wuyang Army stationed in Yunmengze, there must be no mistakes, and the news is revealed, in this way, General Fang led a thousand men and horses to catch people, but first let Xiang Ying take five hundred people to lock the retreat of this group of enemies, is it feasible?!" ”
"Good!" Fang De responded: "Your Highness is thoughtful, and the last general is also!" ”
"It's too early to get out of the way!"
"Whoa!"
……
In the northwest of Fandi, it is the base camp of the southern army, and under the tent, the generals in the army and the eldest son Lin Yuren and Gongzi Xin are all sitting in it.
"Are all the armies here?" General Sheng Nong asked.
An adjutant general, Pang Yu, replied: "General, except for the deployment of the sixth son of the emperor, Gongzi Yan, all the armies have gathered in Fandi to make peace with the Xinye army. ”
Sheng Nong frowned and asked, "Gongziyan's deployment...... Didn't the army march out of the southern border a few days ago, how could it be that it hadn't arrived yet?! ”
"According to the military information sent back by Gongziyan, its deployment has been stationed in the area of Chungling in the eastern part of the southern border, and he does not plan to come to Fandi according to his meaning."
Hearing this, Sheng Nong was not impressed by [Chungling], he glanced down at the map, and glanced at the eastern part of the southern border a few times before he found the two small characters of [Chungling].
Here, to the south is the deserted Tongbai Mountain, which is also far away from Fandi, and it is by no means a place that can cause war.
Gongzixin saw that Sheng Nong was also frowning, and he didn't stretch it out, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the sixth brother of the emperor, and thought that it must be the sixth brother of the emperor who allocated the strength of his command to himself, since he accepted this feeling, Gongzixin also explained to Lin Yuyan: "General, the deployment of the sixth brother of the emperor in Lin Yuan is only a new year, and there are very few soldiers who have been on the battlefield, even if they arrive in Fandi, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight!" ”
Sheng Nong glanced at Gongzi's letter, because after this highness controlled the city defense battalion with the same combat strength as the patrol battalion in the past, he was already languishing, and some were dissatisfied, but after all, he was a childe, and some feelings still had to be given.
Thinking about the 500,000 stone grain that Shanglin Yuan contributed to the Wu Kingdom this time, Gongzi Yan is afraid that he will not send troops to stay in Chungling, and he can not be held accountable, "That's it, the new army is indeed not able to go to the battlefield easily, so stay in Chungling!" ”
"Thank you, General, for your understanding," Childe replied.
I heard the herald report again: "General, General Guan Ning of the New Field Army has come to the camp with all the generals!" ”
Sheng Nong looked left and right and said, "The generals will follow me to meet General Guan Ning!" ”
"Whoa!"
