Chapter 19: The Truth of Xiao Xiao and Ma Ming (1)

The wind howling in the valley of the uncertain river has gradually lost its summer heat these days. However, the color of the mountain is still lush and dark green, and it has not changed color with the seasons.

He has been in the frontier walled city facing the enemy for a year, and Tong Guan has gradually become accustomed to the spring, summer, autumn and winter of northern Shaanxi. Since arriving in Luowu City, it has become a practice to be called by Wang Sunchen to ride a horse to hunt together from time to time.

"The soldiers who are going south on Qinfeng Road and Jingyuan Road are said to have arrived in Baoji."

Walking through the valley road, the mountains and forests on both sides, riding on a horse, Tong Guan and the Luo Wu guards around him gossip.

Wang Sunchen yawned, "Walk quite fast, you can enter Hanzhong in two days...... Is it the news in the newspaper? He asked listlessly. The mountain air was fresh, but without prey in front of him, he couldn't keep his spirits up.

"It's not. Last month's newspaper will not be delivered until the middle of the month, and this month's newspaper will not be delivered until the fifteenth or sixteenth of the next month, which is not so fast. "Just from the Di newspaper, you can see the side courtyard of Luo Wucheng, Tong Guan said, "It's a letter from Suide this morning." ”

"Oh." Wang Sunchen nodded, and he knew about the news between the eunuchs who supervised the army.

Tong Guan continued: "It is said that the troops of Yan Yanlu will also be moved, and I don't know which commander of Lu Dao will be selected." ”

Wang Sunchen smacked his lips, his eyes swept into the mountains and forests. The accompanying cavalry supported the front and rear, and there were also soldiers in the forest who swept around with sticks, trying to alarm the birds and beasts deep in the grass and trees. It's just that it's been a long time, and there is no prey worthy of his bow.

"Luo Wucheng will definitely not move, and it is impossible for Captain Chong to agree to exchange Luo Wucheng's Kansai men for the Hebei Army."

Tong Guan turned his head to look at Wang Sunchen, although he couldn't see the expression on his face hidden in a hedgehog-like beard, but in the words of the Luo Wu City Lord, there was no longer the anger of the previous days.

Knowing that the Hebei Army was going to come to Guanxi, Wang Sunchen immediately scolded him. It's not their hometown, where can they believe that the Hebei Army will help them defend the city desperately in Kansai? It's just that when he heard that it was Han Gang's proposal, he immediately stopped talking.

"I heard that Li Duzhi is also going south, and now I can finally have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

Tong Guan had a smile on his face: "Yes, I finally have a chance to fight." ”

Annan Jingluo Recruitment Division was established, and the commander and the two deputy marshals were courtiers, commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and in the thoughts of the Son of Heaven, someone definitely needed to keep an eye on it. As the supervising army, it was Tong Guan's master Li Xian who went south with the army.

These eunuchs also have to study and go to school in the palace, and sometimes they can also listen to the lectures of a great Confucian, and they can also receive military training in the three ya, and many of them are both civil and military, and they are by no means inferior to ordinary scholars. Among the eunuchs in the Xining period, Li Xian was also known as the first in military affairs. Tong Guan, as a disciple of Li Xian, has always wanted to achieve something in the military.

However, Li Xian's luck has been bad, the credit of Hengshan and Hehuang has been picked up by Wang Zhongzheng, and now he is fighting in Dingmaozhou again, and he is already a famous general in the inner service. If it weren't for Wang Zhongzheng's inability to get out of the mountains in Shuzhong now, Annan Dao would definitely have his position in the middle of the Division.

Wang Sunchen knew Wang Zhongzheng, and he also knew Wang Zhongzheng's ability. The famous boss, some people have already compared him with Qin Han, a famous general among the eunuchs in the old days, Wang Duzhi knows that the sky always puts the credit on his head, and his luck is really good.

I don't know when, Wang Sunchen was already holding a longbow. With a buzzing sound, the arrow between his fingers turned into a streamer. Twenty paces away, a chickadee, which had just been startled from the treetops, fell from the sky and fell to the road with a thud.

"Good archery!" Tong Guan clapped his hands. At a distance of twenty or thirty paces, an arrow hit a living creature in the sky, and it was also on horseback, which was extremely rare in the army.

"Ha......" Wang Sunchen sighed, "It's a pity that no party member can try the arrow." ”

The famous Lianzhu Divine Arrow in the army can only be used to shoot birds for a year, and Wang Sunchen can only sigh that his luck is not good.

The soldiers in front picked up the prey shot by Wang Sunchen and returned with both hands.

The finger-thick arrow pierced through the chickadee, which was only half the size of a fist, and the force attached to the arrow nearly tore the tiny prey apart. If it is when the horse is galloping, Wang Sunsin's accuracy will be greatly reduced. But now it is a walk by the reins, walking slowly between the mountain roads, holding a horse bow, and it is also a shot accurately.

Wang Sunchen took it and looked at it twice, shook his hand, and glued a puddle of sticky on the shaft of the arrow. Shake off the greasy flesh and retract the refined arrows back into the quiver.

He smiled at Tong Guan: "I want to get a rabbit back to make soup." Otherwise, the pheasant will not be able to go back empty-handed. ”

Suddenly, the soldiers who were in the middle of the mountains and forests to help drive away their prey suddenly shouted. Wang Sunchen pursed his eyes suddenly, and his listless laziness swept away, becoming sharp and sharp like a long knife out of its sheath, and the cavalry in front and behind, left and right, all changed their appearances at once, and they became vigilant with their longbows in their hands.

"What's wrong?!" Tong Guan felt that the atmosphere around him had changed suddenly.

Wang Sunsin did not answer, turned over and dismounted. The roar of 'there is a spy' only then sounded from the mountains and forests.

In his hand, he changed the war bow with greater tension and suitable for foot shooting, Wang Sunchen roared and pulled the string like a full moon, and in an instant, two long arrows flew into the depths of the mountain forest.

A scream rang out where the arrow fell. After a while, a man was dragged down by the arms of two soldiers, and the crooks of both legs were pierced by sharp arrows, and he could not walk, but could only be dragged along.

"All good archery." Tong Guan said sincerely.

The man was hiding in the woods, and even when he was running, most of his body would still be covered by the grass and trees, but the two arrows shot by Wang Sunsin still pierced the thief's legs accurately.

Dragged closer, the thief was pulled up by his hair. Thirty or forty looks, the costume is the dress of a Han people, and he looks like a famous woodcutter. However, when he groaned and told Wang Sunchen that he was a good citizen, Wang Sunchen smiled fiercely: "The people who go out of Luo Wucheng to cut wood will not go north, and the general has issued a strict order for this several times, if anyone violates it, it will be regarded as a collaborator and will be shot to death." ”

"Sure enough, it's the sentry of the Western Thief." Tong Guan lowered his head and looked at the thief's hands in person, the cocoon marks on them were completely left by the perennial bow, and when he raised his head, he shouted and asked, "Who is on duty to inspect outside the city today?!" ”

“…… It's the head of Radu. A soldier replied hesitantly.

"Metropolitan Patrol?" Tong Guan turned his head and asked Wang Sunsin's opinion.

"One or two sentry agents, it is easy to touch the city, let alone hide in the mountains and forests, as long as it is not a large team, you don't have to care." Wang Sunsin kicked the sentry up and dragged him back for careful interrogation. ”

"Going back?" Tong Guan asked.

"Hmm." Wang Sunchen nodded in response, jumped on the horse, lifted the reins and turned the horse's head, "The thieves have touched the edge of Luowu City, so we must go back as soon as possible to deal with it." ”

Their current location is a fork in the Wuding River Valley, and although the surrounding mountains are lush with vegetation, they are actually only three or four miles away from Luowu City.

Despite his rough appearance, Wang Sunsin was always cautious. Come out and shoot and never go too far. The ears and eyes who let out the deluge occupied the commanding heights, monitoring the surroundings, and they were not aware of being surrounded by a large number of enemy troops. If it's just a small team, the longbow in his hand can also be used for a rare time.

"The sentinels have all run to the edge of Luowu City, and there must be more soldiers and horses in Yinzhou." On the way back, Wang Sunchen looked back at the sentry who was tied into zongzi, "Fengzhou is Taiwei Guo who personally led the army into battle, and the Xixia people can't beat it hard, so they can only make up for it from the side."

"I wonder if Lu Dao is preparing a feint?"

"If we are a little weaker, the feint will become a real fight." Wang Sunsin grinned.

Luo Wu City is the key to controlling Hengshan, and losing Luo Wu is losing Hengshan. Wang Sunchen is now guarding the city of Luowu like a bone stuck in the throat of the Tangut people, even if the Xixia in Huanqing, Jingyuan siege and plunder, it is far from making up for the loss of Hengshan, if there is a chance to take Luowu City, the party will never give up.

"But whether it's a feint attack or a real fight, the reinforcements come from Suide, and it only takes one day to fast the horse, and you can't lose." He continued.

Tong Guan said with a smile: "If the party members really attack, the capital patrol will be able to show their skills." ”

"Of course, we can't let Li Xin and Zhao Long laugh at me for only shooting birds here!" Zhao Long decided on Maozhou in one fell swoop, and Li Xin made great contributions in Yongzhou in front of him. And after the establishment of the Annan Xing Battalion, he must be a pioneer general. The contributions made by the two of them now are incomparable to Wang Sunchen. But Wang Sunchen will never admit defeat willingly, "Fighting the barbarians in the south is not as happy as cutting down the western thieves." If the hands and feet in the south were a little slower, we might all be able to rush into Xingqing Mansion. ”

"Most of the Liao countries will not sit idly by...... After all, it's his own son-in-law. ”

"The western thief is no longer good, and he can't fight without money or food. Even if there is Khitan support behind him, he can't last long just by breathing. Wang Sunchen suddenly laughed. The Khitan is also a poor ghost, the lord of Liao and the famous King of Wei, even if the Empress Dowager Liang opens her thighs, they will not give her a copper plate. ”

Wang Sunsin's words were very coarse, but they did make sense. Guarding the same city with Wang Sunchen, Tong Guan has long been clear, Wang Sunchen is by no means an ordinary general who only knows how to rush and kill, his vision and means are first-class, except for good wine and greedy cups, there is no other problem.

After all, he has been with Chong Ge and Han Gang for many years, and he has been trained by the experience of raising his face, and he will inevitably be a general in the future. Tong Guan thought like this, and looked at Wang Sunchen's eyes more and more eagerly, this is the foundation of his soaring prosperity!
