Chapter 22: Secretly Sending Troops to Cover the Sky and Crossing the Sea (9)

[Second update, ask for red tickets, collect]

"But what's going on right now?!" Zhiyuan was puzzled, with his little understanding of the situation in Hehuang, as well as the grievances and grievances of Tubo and the party, how to think, he didn't think that Mu Zheng would completely fall to Yu Zang's family, but the current thing was obviously abnormal, "If it weren't for Mu Zheng's permission, how could Yu Zang Huama's army pass through the Wusheng army?" ”

"Western Xia is now in full swing, and the 300,000 army invaded south, and all five roads were attacked. With such a limelight, I think Mu Zheng doesn't want to touch this mold, so he just makes way for Yu Zang Huama. These Tibetan people seem to be incompatible, but in fact, they have a lot of friendships in private. Han Gang thought for a while, and then said: "This time it should be just a tacit understanding between Mu Zheng and Yu Zang, and it is the Xingluo Junction that really serves the Yu Zang family. ”

Although Zhiyuan is twice as old as Han Gang, it is the first time for him to experience such a scene, although his intelligence is extremely high, but his heart has not yet been sharpened when he is about to fight: "But didn't I hear that the strength of the Yu Zang family can already compete with Dong Yu and Mu Zheng?" Mu Zheng got out of the way, and Yu Zang Huama could attack Weiyuan with all his might. Can the military power in Weiyuan Fort support it? ”

"Master don't worry too much, Weiyuan hasn't lit a beacon fire so far, so it can be seen that the situation is not critical."

Once the beacon is lit, it is tantamount to disclosing one's failures to others. The news was transmitted back to Qinzhou, to Jingzhao Mansion, and to the desk of the Son of Heaven. Regardless of the final outcome, Wang Shao's most important Hehuang Kaibian will inevitably be branded as a failure. Unless the city is about to be destroyed, Wang Shao will never do this. Han Gang knows Wang Shao's character well, but he doesn't know this about Lu Dao, and he is not afraid of being exposed for nonsense.

Han Gang no longer paid attention to Zhiyuan's interruption, and he asked Wang Weixin: "How is the strength of the thief army?" ”

Wang Weixin immediately replied: "What I saw on Weiyuan Fort was about six thousand, but when the villain went out of the city, although the western thieves sent people to stop it, they easily broke through, and it seems that the troops are not enough." ”

When reporting on the enemy's situation, it is customary to say more miles. But this is against the above. Exaggerate the strength of the enemy's army, if you win, you will get more credit, and if you lose, it is easy to find an excuse. However, Wang Weixin knew that Lu Dao was Wang Shao's cronies, and he knew the importance of Han Gang, so he would not deceive him in numbers.

"It's only six thousand!" Han Gang turned his head to Zhiyuan and smiled, "Master, look, it's only six thousand!" ”

"What's wrong with Six Thousand?" Zhiyuan asked, and suddenly thought of the answer, "Is it because there are too few troops to attack Weiyuan?!" ”

Han Gang nodded and said, "The siege force is comparable to the strength of the defending force, and when attacking the Xingluo Junction in front, the materials consumed are very small, so it is easy to hold Weiyuan." There are 10,000 elites in the headquarters of the Yu Zang family who can watch the battle, and with the share of the affiliated tribes, the total can reach about 25,000. If necessary, men between the ages of fifteen and sixty can be requisitioned together, and more than 80,000 troops can be mobilized......"

"Amitabha, there are so many?!" Zhiyuan sincerely exclaimed.

Han Gang's perspective on things is different from Zhiyuan's, "The great clan that can recruit and mobilize an army of 80,000 people, but only 6,000 people have arrived under Weiyuan Fort. It can be seen from this that no matter how the situation develops, Yu Zang Huama will not trust Mu Zheng. Even if Mu Zheng borrowed the Dao to him, he still had at least more than half of his mental strength behind his back, and he could only free up one hand to attack Weiyuan. Is it possible for Yu Zang Hua Ma to win in this way? ”

Zhiyuan and Wang Weixin pondered Han Gang's words carefully, and soon nodded in understanding.

Han Gang didn't want to stay on the side of the road for a long time, maybe after a while, the Yu Zang family's ranger sentry would wander here. He said to Wang Weixin: "Wang Weixin, you have an urgent military situation, and I can't keep you longer." You go to Guwei Village as soon as possible and report the matter of Weiyuan to Gao Chan. But don't panic, enter the city as usual, and don't leak military aircraft. ”

Wang Weixin said yes in a row, let alone say much, and after saying goodbye to Han Gang and Zhiyuan, he jumped on the horse neatly and hurried to Guwei Village with seven or eight guards. Han Gang also turned over and got on the horse, no longer going to Weiyuan, but following Wang Weixin to the east.

"Where are you going?" Zhiyuan didn't think that Han Gang wanted to go back to Guwei, otherwise he would leave with Wang Weixin, but he couldn't figure out what Han Gang wanted to do.

"Go see the blind medicine." Han Gang rode on a horse, holding a horsewhip and pointing to the mountains in the northeast: "Fortunately, Wang Anfu didn't light a beacon fire, otherwise I really don't know how to persuade that hungry wolf." ”

………………

"Yu Zang Huama went to attack Weiyuan Fort?!"

Wu Yanzheng, who was originally half-lying on the velvet blanket and drinking and eating meat with his brother Wu Qi, changed his face greatly. He sat up suddenly. The wine cup in his hand was not held steady, and it was all splashed on his body. The cold wine seeped down his clothes, but Wu Yanzheng was still stunned.

Blind Wu Qi didn't care, and still lay comfortably: "What's so strange about Yu Zang Huama's borrowing of the Tao?" In the past, Yu Zang's family did not fight Weiyuan. Tongwei, Guwei, and the north have all been killed there. ”

But Wu Yanzheng was not surprised by this matter. The day before yesterday, before his brother Mu Zheng sent him out, he told him to keep an eye on the Dalai Valley, and asked him to pay attention to the north, could it be that he had already known that Lu Dao would have today's situation?!

Although Wu Yanzheng didn't figure it out, Mu Zheng didn't see through everything in advance. But he already understood that the purpose of the envoy sent by the Yu Zang family to Hezhou the day before yesterday was not to convince his eldest brother that what the Yu Zang family wanted to recruit had been determined, and what he wanted to buy had been completed. Their actual intention was just to say hello in case Mu Zheng overreacted.

No wonder the eldest brother didn't pay any attention to the messenger at all, and just sent him out. ’

Wu Yanzheng admired Mu Zheng's eyesight, but what to do now, Mu Zheng did not give him instructions. Wu Yanzheng asked the blind Wu Qi, "Third brother, what should I do next?" ”

"What else can I do? Let's look at it first. Blind Wu Qi said very easily, "If Wang Shao is defeated, follow Yu Zang Huama to Weiyuan." ”

"What if Yu Zanghua is defeated?" Wu Yanzheng asked.

Blind Wu Qi picked up a piece of mutton with a golden dagger, stuffed it into his mouth with juice and water, and said vaguely, "Lanzhou is a good place!" ”

And so it was! ’

Blind Wu Qi's answer did not surprise Wu Yanzheng. Speaking of which, among his brothers, Dong Yu's ambition ranks first, while Blind Wu Qi can rank second. Don't look at him and Yu Zang Huama are as good as brothers now, and even Yu Zang Huama nodded and agreed with Yu Zang Huama leading the troops to pass, but if Yu Zang's family accidentally exposed his weakness, the first one to go up and stab him must be his third brother.

Wu Yanzheng suddenly remembered that if he followed Mu Zheng's instructions, he would take over the blind Wu Qi's territory in Minzhou. Then, to the north of him is not only the Yu Zang family in Lanzhou, but also the blind Wu Qi who controls the Wusheng army.

Thinking of this, Wu Yanzheng was shocked, who was Mu Zheng asking him to be careful? !

………………

"Hua Ma, what should I do next?"

Surrounded Xingluo Junction City, besieged Weiyuan Fort, but the next thing is to storm or besiege, if it is to attack, which place should be attacked first. These questions need to be decided by Yu Zang Huama, who has recently become the head of the Yu Zang family.

"What should I do...... Yu Zang Huama looked at Weiyuan Fort hundreds of steps away, frowning and thinking.

This time, Prime Minister Liang Yi buried the whole country to attack the Song Dynasty in the south, and the Yu Zang family who received the order also had to deal with it, otherwise it would be difficult for him to sit firmly in the position of patriarch after the autumn in the future.

Yu Zang Huama just wanted to behave better at first, and it just so happened that he had some friendship with Beiqiang Xingluo Jie and Blind Wu Qi - although this friendship was not reliable, but after feeding them with sweetness, it would become a life-and-death friend who could discuss everything - he thought that he would lead the army around Weiyuan Fort, and it would be considered his best. If there is a gap, you can also raid and snatch back all the money, food, and ordnance that Wang Shao used to build the fort.

It's just that Wang Shao's movements are too fast. ’

The situation changed beyond Yu Zang's calculations, and the other Qiang Xingluo Jie, who had been in contact with Hao, was wiped out in one day, and Wang Shao, who was accustomed to strange soldiers, was once again fully attacked. But in the midst of this, he saw an opportunity.

After the great victory, the Song army was bound to slacken; And since Wang Shao was distracted from attacking the Xingluo Junction, Weiyuan Fort definitely did not repair it; Then Yu Zang Huama found out again that when Wang Shao returned to the division, he even divided his troops and placed a thousand troops in Xingluo Jiecheng to sweep away the remnants. Such a good opportunity, of course, Yu Zang Huama will not let go.

This time to the south, Yu Zang Huama brought a total of more than 11,000 soldiers and horses, of which 4,000 guarded the Dalai Valley, and most of the remaining troops surrounded Weiyuan, and the rest were guarded. However, among the thousands of people under Weiyuan Fort, the real elite was only the five hundred elite horsemen led by him, and the rest were the men and horses of the vassal tribes. And the military strength of the siege of Xingluo Jiecheng is the elite of his Yu Zang family headquarters - the truth of the above and the next is that even Yu Zang Huama, a Fan person, can also say a way - in addition, in the Mabit Mountain at the junction of Lanzhou and Wusheng Army, another 3,000 people are guarding his back road.

The road back is worry-free, and the only thing Yu Zang Huama has to worry about is the problem of grain and grass. Fortunately, after hearing that the Xingluo Junction had been destroyed, he urgently reached a new agreement with Blind Wu Qi. The small tribes that were originally subordinated to the Xingluo Junction would be left to Blind Wu Qi, but these small tribes had to provide him with grain and grass, and Blind Wu Qi also had to provide some food.

With these squeezed grains and grass, it is enough to support the consumption of the army under the tent, and whether it is Weiyuan or Xingluo Jiecheng, the fragility of its city defense, even if it is not good at attacking the city, there is not much problem.

The peach hangs right in front of you, and you can pick it with just your hand. Looking back at the pair of shining eyes in front of him, Yu Zanghua Ma knew that the morale of the Dao army was available, he flicked his horsewhip and ordered: "I'll keep an eye on it here, you guys will knock down Xingluo Yucheng first." When the troops are combined, they will attack Weiyuan Fort! ”
