Chapter 586: Died in his sleep

In the Taiyuan Thorn History Mansion, Li Jing was late, the two sat opposite each other in the study, Wang Meng poured a cup of tea for Li Jing, Wang Meng smiled and said: "Two good news, one bad news, which one to listen to first?"

Li Jing took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let me guess!"

"Then I'll see what you do!" Wang Meng laughed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Jing stretched out a finger and muttered: "This first good news should be that Zhang Yan has been transferred!"

Wang Meng nodded and said, "Yes, according to the news from the Jizhou scouts, Zhang Yan and Sun Qing have appeared in Yuan Shao's army, and it is Chun Yuqiong who replaces Zhang Yan." Now the defenders of Taihang Mountain are under the banner of Zhang Yan, but they are just covering people's eyes, in fact, Chun Yuqiong is leading 10,000 soldiers and horses from Jizhou to garrison. ”

"Chun Yuqiong? This is a mediocre talent, in this way, the defense of Taihang Mountain is like a void for me! Li Jing's eyes flashed and he sneered.

Wang Meng looked at Li Jing and said with a smile: "The pharmacist is confident, but although this Chun Yuqiong is a mediocre talent, his defense is according to Zhang Yan, and it has not changed in the slightest."

"Haha!" Li Jing stroked his beard and laughed: "Although the defense has not changed, the commander and the soldiers have changed, Chun Yuqiong is not Zhang Yan after all." Surely the soldiers they were guarding would make a mistake. If Chun Yuqiong completely follows Zhang Yan's deployment, then Chun Yuqiong is on the Huguan side, or okay, I just borrow him to make some articles. ”

"So you're going to attack Yecheng and Yuan Shao's lair?" Wang Meng sensed Li Jing's purpose.

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Not only do I want to besiege Wei to save Zhao, but also to besiege the city and send reinforcements!"

Wang Meng stroked his beard and laughed: "You are really generous, and you want to turn Jizhou upside down?" Then I'll wait and see, you guessed the first good news, what about the next two, and see if you can say it. ”

Li Jing took another sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "This other good news and a bad news should be able to be connected." The battlefields on the west and south fronts of Qingzhou should be stabilized and weakened. Yuan Shao was incompetent, and it should have been General Chen Qingzhi, who dealt with Yuan Shao, who stabilized the situation in the west. And Zhao Kuangyin is strong, and General Lin Renzhao is not easy to deal with! ”

Wang Meng exclaimed: "Hey, it's really a clever calculation, General Chen Qingzhi on the Western Front first burned the grain and grass used by Yuan Shao's 50,000 pioneers. The time of Yuan Shao's march was delayed until the rainy season, and now Yuan Shao's soldiers were miserable by the plum rain, and they could not threaten General Chen Qingzhi for the time being. ”

"What about General Lin on the Southern Front? He has a lot of soldiers and horses, and a large number of young people, so he shouldn't be ......," Li Jing frowned.

"Zhao Kuangyin did not attack General Lin Renzhao's defense line, but according to Yanzhou and Xuzhou's Jinyi Guard, Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers and horses are in Weishui, and the glue is still building a dam and relocating the people." Wang Meng explained.

Li Jing suddenly realized, and said with a solemn face: "Zhao Kuangyin is planning to flood the Beihai Sea after a while. General Lin's defense line is close to these rivers, and there is nothing to be done when the flood arrives, so it seems that the southern front is really declining. ”

"General Lin's side has also prepared ships and dismissed the people, if Zhao Kuangyin breaks through the southern line defense, the situation in Qingzhou is worrying. It's time for you to make a move, right? Wang Meng looked at Li Jing and asked.

Li Jing nodded and said, "It's time, Brother Jingluo, I don't know how much grain and grass you have raised during this time?"

Wang Meng replied: "I will transfer all the grain and grass that can be used in the state to you, so that the 20,000 troops can support it for a month." It just so happens that the wheat is ripe now, and there should be new grain support when the time comes, which should not delay the resettlement of the Hu people. ”

"It's hard work, but I don't need so much grain and grass, and it is impossible for my army to stay in Jizhou for long, and when the time comes, the grain and grass will be made into durable dry food, as long as ten days!"

Wang Meng nodded: "Okay, when the time comes, you will inform me, and I will prepare everything you want!"

"When the time comes, I'll send you a message, and when the time is coming, I'm going to act, so I won't stay longer!" Li Jing drank the tea and said goodbye.

After leaving the Assassin's Mansion, Li Jing took a few guards to a deep mountain outside Taiyuan City, where the trapped camp and the two thousand soldiers selected by the Taiyuan army practiced mountain warfare.

"The last general has seen the general!" In front of a cliff, Chen Dao, Pei Jun, Gao Shun and other three generals bowed to Li Jing.

"No need to be polite, how are the soldiers trained now?" Li Jing picked up the three of them and asked.

"Look, General!" Pei Jun pointed to the top of the cliff, only to see dozens of soldiers throwing hooks and ropes towards the cliff, and the soldiers grabbed the rope and climbed the rock, but after a while, they grabbed the top of the cliff. The soldiers who climbed up quickly retracted the noose, and the soldiers waiting below did as they obeyed.

Li Jing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, how are these five thousand soldiers trained and how are they distributed?"

Chen Zhi replied: "Five thousand soldiers, all of them have to practice mountain marching, and now it is not a problem to cross mountains and mountains." Among them, there are 500 soldiers who practice hook and rope climbing and assassination, and General Pei Jun has been in Yangzhou, but he is from Orion, and he is responsible for these things. ”

Pei Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The last general is just skilled in climbing, as for the assassination technique, it is still the secret guard among the brocade guards sent by His Majesty to teach it."

Li Jing nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "What about the other soldiers, what are you practicing?"

"The other soldiers all practice short knife fighting, and in addition to armor and fighting equipment, short knife fighting is also a master in this camp." Chen Zhi said, leading Li Jing to a mountain forest, only to see a large number of thousands of soldiers in the mountain forest, two against two, all wearing leather armor and holding short knives to fight.

I saw that the short knife was no more than two feet five long, no more than two fingers wide, the handle was long, and the back of the knife was slightly upturned. It's more like a sword than a sword.

"This knife is good, lightweight, flexible and easy to carry, it weighs no more than three catties, and it is suitable for fighting in the mountains and forests." Li Jing weighed and gestured in his hand, and he liked this knife quite much.

"This is sent by His Majesty, saying that it is called Tang Dao." Chen Zhi replied.

Li Jing nodded, quite satisfied with the results of the training of these soldiers in the past few months. looked at Pei Jun and said: "It has been a time to raise soldiers for a thousand days, and now it's time to use you, General Yuen Long, you can order fifty soldiers who are proficient in assassination to go with me!"

Pei Jun was overjoyed: "The last general has been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Li Jing did not rest when the time came, and took Pei Jun out to act that night, in a mountain col in the north of Taihang Mountain, which is already the border of Jizhou, and in front of it are the various mountain cards defended by the Yuan army.

Li Jing took Pei Jun out day and night, and at night came to the front of a checkpoint, where the fire was lit above the city pass, and Sergeant Yuan was sleeping soundly against the wall.

"Sun Qing was in the scout to report, the Yuan army guarding the pass was rotated in two shifts, and the guard was tight, but now that the soldiers and horses have been changed, and the main general has been changed, it is very different!" Li Jing looked at Chengguan from afar and sneered.

"If it weren't for the general's divisive plan and the transfer of Sun Qing and Zhang Yan, I'm afraid it would be difficult for our army to cross this hurdle!" Pei Jun exclaimed.

Li Jing muttered: "I have inspected three checkpoints in a row tonight, and they are all so lax, with your ability, can you solve these soldiers without knowing it and take the city pass?"

"From here to Jingjing Pass, there are more than a dozen levels in a row, if they are all so lax, our army will go out day and night, and within five days, I can take all the city passes except Jingjing Pass without knowing it!" Bae Jun patted his chest and reassured.

"There are 2,000 soldiers and horses in Jingjing Pass, and the remaining 3,000 men and horses are distributed in various levels, and each level can have about 100 to 200 people. I'll give you two hundred and fifty soldiers who practice the art of assassination, and you can't get away with it, can you do it? Li Jing stared at Pei Jun and asked.

Pei Jun nodded confidently and said, "The last general will be able to do it!" If the general doesn't believe me, I'll use these fifty soldiers to win the pass!" ”

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm going to hit the pot first, let's go back!"

A few days later, Li Jing took 500 soldiers who practiced assassination under the leadership of Pei Jun, Gao Shun, and Chen Zhi to the south of Huguan. Late at night, in front of a city pass east of Huguan, Li Jing looked at the city pass from afar and sneered: "Chun Yuqiong is stationed here, and the Shangdang does not have many soldiers and horses to threaten, and these soldiers are even more lax." Chen to Pei Jun, you take the soldiers to take this pass, don't let go of a living mouth! ”

"Yes!" The second general gave up the order, Chen arrived, Pei Jun waved his hand, and led dozens of soldiers to quietly touch under the city pass, and the hook rope was lost, and dozens of soldiers climbed up quickly along the hook rope.

Quietly going up to the city pass, the soldier took out his dagger and wiped it on the neck of the sleeping soldier.

At the same time, dozens of muffled snorts sounded, and dozens of Yuan soldiers patrolling the city gate became the souls of the sword in their sleep. Then the gate opened, and the soldiers in the rear quietly entered the city pass and slaughtered the soldiers stationed behind the city pass.

Half an hour later, Pei Jun came out of the pass to greet Li Jing and arched his hand: "General, the Yuan army in the pass has been completely wiped out, and no one has escaped."

"What about the casualties?" Li Jing asked.

"There were no casualties in our army, but there were also a few people who woke up Yuan Jun with frizzy hands and feet, and injured more than a dozen brothers!" Pei Jun replied with his hand arched.

"Good job, Gao Shun, you have come to camp in the speed adjustment pot pass, Pei Jun, you and Chen Zhi continue to act, day and night, within five days, take all the levels!" Li Jing ordered in a deep voice.

In the next few days, these 500 soldiers, under the leadership of Chen Zhi and Pei Jun, went out day and night, regardless of seizing the checkpoint guarded by Yuan Jun. In the rear, Li Jing used the other 4,500 soldiers to occupy the city passes that had been captured.

Five days later, Li Jing had already entered the scope of Jizhou, and there was only one last checkpoint ahead, where there were five hundred soldiers, and Chun Yuqiong was also sitting here. After passing this pass, they went out of the range of Taihang Mountain, and Li Jing's soldiers and horses could also go south to Yecheng.
