The spring wind, with a sense of warmth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The farmland on the side of the road has grown a layer of green grass, and it is time to plough it.

A few wintering sparrows flutter on the side of the road, their small pointed beaks examining the grass seeds under the roots. Suddenly, he raised his small head and flapped his wings and flew towards the big tree next to him.

"Boast", "Boast"

Groups of forbidden troops in armor marched in line, raising layers of white smoke on the ground.

The winding procession stretched for miles like a long snake.

The generals who maintained order in the queue rode horses and whipped their horses and shouted along the queue

"Hurry up, go fast!"

"You idiots who can only eat, if you delay the trip of the manager, you will look good."

In the middle of the queue, a three-zhang flag, gold characters on a red background, and a big "cloud" character on the book, fluttering in the wind.

One of his generals, nine feet long, with a face like a heavy jujube, phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, a beautiful beard over the abdomen, and a voice like a bell. A chain of gold armor, covered with an emerald robe and a red horse under the crotch. A green dragon swallowing sword in his hand, looking at it from a distance, it is like Guan Gong being reborn and Yun Chang descending into the world.

This person is the head of the soldiers and horses of Jingxi Road, known as Yun Tianbiao of the Bafang Cloud Thunder.

Yun Tianbiao was ordered by the imperial court to conquer the Liangshan thieves this time, leading 5,000 forbidden troops, looking majestic, but he was depressed in his heart, only he knew it.

Jingxi Road is close to Kaifeng Mansion and has jurisdiction over four prefectures and five prefectures.

Four Prefectures - Yingtianfu (Nanjing, Great Song Dynasty), Xiqing Mansion (Yanzhou), Xingren Mansion (Caozhou), Dongping Mansion (Yunzhou);

Five states - Xuzhou, Jeju, Shanzhou, Puzhou, Gongzhou.

Ying Tianfu ruled the city of Tian, stationed a forbidden army - the German army, the number of 3,000, the soldiers and horses were all supervised Song Ren.

Raid on Luyang City, the seat of Qingfu, and stationed a forbidden army-Taining Army, with a number of 3,000, and soldiers and horses will supervise the wind.

Xingren Mansion governed Jiyin City, stationed a forbidden army - Zhangxin Army, the number of 3,000, soldiers and horses were imprisoned Fu Yu.

Dongping City, the seat of Dongping Prefecture, stationed a forbidden army - Tianping Army, with a number of 3,000, and Dong Ping was supervised by soldiers and horses.

In addition to these four prefectures, the other five prefectures only have their own militia regiments to practice.

Yun Tianbiao, as the chief of soldiers and horses on the East and West Roads of Beijing, nominally controlled the forbidden army of the four prefectures, with 12,000 elites, but in fact, it was quite embarrassing.

Ying Tianfu is the Nanjing city of the Great Song Dynasty, with a special status, the army never leaves the city, and does not pay attention to Yun Tianbiao at all.

Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Mansion, was the proud protégé of Tong Guan, the great eunuch of the dynasty. In Dongping Mansion, he is only to make money, and he is pedantic and greedy. Dong Ping's martial arts are excellent with two guns, and he never takes Yun Tianbiao in his eyes.

The regimental training in the states belongs to the local armed forces, the rabble, and Yun Tianbiao disdains to summon them.

As a result, the dignified commander of the soldiers and horses of the Jingxi Road in Beijing was able to mobilize only the two prefectures of Xiqing and Xingren.

Excluding the defenders, there were just enough 5,000 soldiers.

On the other hand, Qin Ming on Jingdong Road is a different scene.

In the jurisdiction of Jingdong East Road, there are Qingzhou Town Navy, Mizhou Anhua Army, Qizhou Xingde Army, Weizhou Huaiyang Army, and Dengzhou Wusheng Army, a total of 15,000 forbidden troops.

Because Qin Ming was bold and brave in battle, and won the support of all the generals, he pulled out 10,000 soldiers and horses very smoothly on this expedition.

In this expedition to Liangshan, the imperial court only asked them to work together to encircle and suppress the thieves, but did not determine who was the commander.

Liang Shanshui is in the jurisdiction of Yun Tianbiao, it is said that he should be the main one, and Yun Tianbiao has always planned to do so. But Qin Ming led twice as many soldiers and horses as him, how could he give him the initiative?

Now his most urgent idea is to take the first step, take the initiative, and suppress Qin Ming!

This is also the reason why he immediately gathered military horses and set off first after the beginning of spring. Qin Mingyuan is in Qingzhou, and when he gets the news and rushes back, it will always be two or three days in the evening.

Two or three days is enough time to set up camp by himself, requisition fishing boats, and form a naval army.

There are so many fishing boats, and after he finished the requisition, he only left two or three small boats for Qin Ming, to see how he worries in the face of eight hundred miles of water?

Thinking that a few days later, Qin Ming blew his beard and stared at him, and his appearance was like thunder, Yun Tianbiao smiled heartily and gently stroked his long beard.

"Stomp Pedal Pedal

A few war horses came running and bowed to Yun Tianbiao and said, "Chief, our army has entered Jiaxiang County, and we can reach the shore of Shuibo at sunset." ”

Yun Tianbiao restrained his smile, his face was solemn, just like Guan Gong, he looked up at the position of the sun, just arrived at noon, nodded and said: "Pass the order, set up camp here, and set off tomorrow." ”

"Order!"

"Father!" A blue-maned horse ran over with a handsome silver-armored young man with red lips and white teeth, "Why do you want to rest?" We will be on the shore of the water in half a day, so why not speed up the march in one go? ”

Yun Tianbiao glanced at his son, his face sank, and a "hum!" came out of his nose. ”

His son has been smart since he was a child, diligent and studious, and has practiced good marksmanship, and he has archery skills that take people by the throat within 100 steps.

It's a pity, it's still too frivolous, don't you know that you shouldn't easily question the authority of the chief general in the army? It's really time to take advantage of this battle and polish it well.

Seeing that Yun Tianbiao was displeased, Yun Long suddenly felt bad, stuck out his tongue, and looked at the two generals beside Yun Tianbiao and asked them for help.

There are two generals beside Yun Tianbiao, a bearded man with a thick body, holding a nine-eared serial knife, which is the Taining Army's Soldiers and Horses Supervisor.

The other is seven feet tall, with a thin waist tied to his back, his shoulders are folded, a pair of sword eyebrows, his face looks like Fu Fan, and a snake-tailed bright silver spear in his hand is none other than Fu Yu, the commander of the Zhangxin Army.

The little general Yunlong's pistol skills were learned from Fu Yu, and the two can be said to be a master-apprentice relationship. Seeing this, Fu Yu arched his hand to Yun Tianbiao and said, "Don't blame the manager." Long Er's first expedition is inevitably straightforward, but he is eager to win. ”

Fenghui has a rude appearance, but sitting in the position of the commander of the soldiers and horses, how can he be a stupid person. deliberately pretended to be confused, and said, "Brother Yun, why stop?" The little nephew doesn't understand, I'm also stupid, tell us about it. ”

Yun Tianbiao raised his head and looked ahead, and said to Fu Yu beside him: "Zizhen, you come to explain to them." ”

Fu Yuzi Zizhen, when he heard Yun Tianbiao's command, he said unhurriedly: "I have studied the three battles of Liangshan, whether it is defeating Huang An, invading Zhujiazhuang, or sneaking up on Jeju City. The Liangshan bandits have all launched sneak attacks, often by surprise and obtain results. It can be seen from this that Liangshan must be commanded by someone who is good at the art of war. Since our army wants to get rid of Qin Ming and seize the opportunity, then we must prevent Liangshan from sneaking up again when I reach the shore of Shuibo and have an unstable foothold! Arriving at the shore at sunset, the camp was too late to be built, and it was quite dangerous. ”

Feng Hui pouted and said: "Just Liangshan, thousands of grass cowards, what a foot to say, after my army is assembled, it can be destroyed in one go." When the time comes, please let me take the lead! ”

Yunlong was young and vigorous, and he also agreed: "Liang Shan used to fight against incompetent people, but this time when he meets his father, he will definitely let them stay without chickens and dogs." ”

Yun Tianbiao's expression was solemn, he glanced at his son, and his calm and loud voice revealed a majesty, saying: "People should be arrogant, but they should not be arrogant. With arrogance, even though there are thousands of difficulties and obstacles in front of him, he dares to move forward. If you are arrogant, you despise others and bring about your own destruction. Remember! ”

"Oh, oh" Yunlong shrunk his neck, always feeling uncomfortable in the face of this majestic father.

Feng Hui patted his head, looked like he suddenly realized, and said: "So that's the case, big brother, I remember Lao Feng, I can't underestimate any enemy, I understand!" ”

Fu Yu glanced at this grinning wind meeting, and smiled secretly in his heart: "It's not like acting at all!" ”

Yun Tianbiao didn't care about Fenghui's tricks, and continued: "The soldiers are treacherous, and they need to be cautious. The strong only need to fight steadily, and the weak need to fight to the death to survive. Our army has the advantage of strength, the soldiers and equipment are superior, there is no need to take risks, and it is enough to be steady. ”

"The strong only need to fight steadily, and the weak need to fight to the death? Oh...... I get daddy. Yunlong lowered his head in response, but his eyes were tilted to the side, muttering in his heart: If you are stronger than the other party, you should rush up to fight.

Yun Tianbiao saw his son's disapproving expression, and sighed secretly, you still don't understand, the so-called strength and weakness are only the initial conditions, but they will change at any time with the decisions of the commanders on both sides.

The difference between the strong and the weak is simply that the strong have more opportunities to make mistakes.

The strong make mistakes, and strong capital can allow him to start all over again.

The mistakes of the weak are enough to cause a collapse and a complete defeat.

In the 4,000-year history of China, there have been thousands of battles, but how many battles have the weak defeated the strong? Handful!

If the strong do not make mistakes, the weak have no chance at all.

Yun Tianbiao has always regarded Guan Yu as his idol, whether it is clothing, weapons, or words and deeds, he is deliberately imitating. But he remembered his father's words back then: "The Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion is proud and natural, and he is the best in ancient and modern times, but it is a pity that old age gives birth to arrogance and is a failure." ”

"A man should be proud, but he should not be proud. Don't underestimate the heroes of the world! ”

Recalling the information collected by the scouts about the leaders of Liangshan, Yun Tianbiao stroked his long beard, "Liangshan Chaochong, what kind of person are you?" I'm really looking forward to it. ”

In a forest three miles in front of Yun Tianbiao's army, there was a group of heroes lying on their stomachs, with branches on their heads, covered with dead branches and rotten leaves, waiting quietly, biting small wooden sticks in their mouths, without a sound.

"Goo", "Goo"

Several cuckoo calls came from a large tree, and the watchman on the tree sounded the alarm. The people on the ground quietly touched their hands to the weapons on their waists.

Soon, two black shadows jumped in the woods like apes, climbed over several earthen ditches, and after running over, they knelt on one knee, clasped their hands into fists, and said softly: "My lord, the officers and soldiers are camped three miles away, and they will not move forward again. ”

Hearing this, a person rose up on the ground, shook off the leaves all over his body, revealed a resolute face, and the seven-foot long knife on his back, it was Chao Chong, the young master of Liangshan.

Chao Chong frowned slightly, looked at Shi Qian, who was reporting, and said, "What is the reason?" Is the news of my Liangshan army ambushing here leaked? ”

Shi Qian said confidently: "Yun Tianbiao's actions have been under the scout monitoring of our intelligence department since he sent his troops, and our army's actions are secret, and it is impossible for them to detect them. This person is a veteran of the battlefield and has stopped moving, perhaps just because of caution. ”

Chao Chong shook his head slightly, "He left Qin Ming to act alone, which is a God-given opportunity for our army to ambush." But if the plan is discovered, it will suffer! I need to know his true intentions. Check it out now! ”

"Order!" Shi Qian hugged his fists and immediately turned around and left with his subordinates, without any delay.

Chao Chong raised his hand and ordered backwards: "Summoning Gongsun Junshi and several battalion commanders to come to discuss the matter." ”

A big man like a black bear got up from the ground, it was Li Kui, and he had to be ordered to go.

Chao Chong sighed slightly in his heart, unsatisfactory things, often nine times out of ten. Yun Tianbiao is not incompetent, and now the problem is thrown back to him, is he going to continue to ambush? Or a cautious withdrawal?

If the ambush continues, the Liangshan military horses will have to take huge risks. The first is the risk of being detected by the enemy and being surrounded by the opposite; The second is the risk of lying in ambush overnight and losing physical strength. If you are not careful, you can cause huge casualties.

If you want to withdraw cautiously, Chao Chong is unwilling. Yun Tianbiao's 5,000 men and horses walked alone, and as long as Liangshan had the right strategy, he could fight with him and win the battle. It is of great significance for the next battle plan.

Is it risk, or is it stability?

This is a difficult choice, but it is the unshirkable responsibility of Chao Chong, the military commander.

Chao Chong raised his right hand and looked at his calloused palm with some distraction, the noon sun shining on it through the fork of the tree, slightly mottled.

Chao Chong shook it suddenly, and the horn sounded.

"Warriors should be brave and enterprising! As long as I can clench my fists, nothing in the world can disappoint me! ”

Chao Chong, who already had an opinion in his heart, suddenly became enlightened, and the next thing to think about was not to retreat, but how to reduce the risk.

……

Nothing was said all night.

The sun is rising.

The forbidden army buried the pot to cook, and the smoke curled up.

After breakfast, the camp was raised. The banner of the word "cloud" fluttered in the wind, and Yun Tianbiao rode forward in the company of Fenghui and Fu Yu.

Yunlong, the idle little general, took the lead at the front of the team, looking like a vanguard officer of soldiers and horses.

Walking along the official road for only three miles, a vast forest appeared in front of me.

The official road passes through the forest, and there is no way out in the depths.

"It's really a poor mountain and bad water, a rural place." Fenghui pursed his lips and grumbled.

Fu Yu smiled lightly and said to Yun Tianbiao: "Chief, do you want to remind Long'er to send scouts to investigate in the forest?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yunlong had already run over on a fast horse, pulled the reins, stopped suddenly, and said: "Master, Feng Lin Mo entered, I know, I have already sent troops in to investigate, but there is nothing." It's just that the road is a bit long, about four or five miles long. ”

Yun Tianbiao nodded with satisfaction, this kid was finally a little cautious and had a better memory.

"The sword does not enter the depths of the forest, and the stars dazzle and cover the moon. The killing god shook back fifty miles, not afraid of Yama and fearing the king. Yun Tianbiao stroked his beard with one hand and read a poem leisurely in his mouth.

"Good poetry! Majestic, awe-inspiring. Who's doing this, Steward? Fu Yu saw that Yun Tianbiao was in a good mood, so he took advantage of the situation and said.

"This person's surname is Lin Mingzang, and there is no word in it. He was a general of the Tang Dynasty. Feng Lin Mo is a strategy, and he uses it perfectly, and a certain family also admires this person. ”

Fenghui couldn't understand the poems, shook his head and said, "Big brother, do we dare to go into the forest in front of us?" ”

"Why not?" Yun Tianbiao smiled confidently and said, "Our army sent troops early in the morning, and now the sun has just risen. The Liangshan thieves couldn't rush to ambush them. Unless they were ambushed here last night, but our scouts were on guard last night and didn't hear anything, did they? ”

"Hey, hey, I understand, big brother, after you set up camp yesterday, you must have sent troops into the woods to investigate clearly." Feng Hui said with a sure expression.

Only the little general Yunlong was a little disappointed and said, "My father has already found out and won't tell me." I thought I was the first to think of it. ”

Seeing this, Fu Yu comforted: "Lord Steward just wants you to think independently. Besides, it's always good to be cautious when checking again. ”

Yunlong felt that his face was hot, and he originally wanted to ask for credit, but he lost face, and he didn't want to stay longer, so he said, "I'll go ahead and open the way." And he struck his horse and departed.

Seeing Yun Long leave in a bad mood, Yun Tianbiao smiled helplessly, "This kid! ”
