Chapter 182: The Battle of Yongqiu (1)
、qΒ⑤。 c0m/
As the old saying goes, the left eye jumps disaster, and the right eye jumps wealth. What he is jumping now is his left eye, which is the eye that jumps the disaster.
For the words of the old people, Dong Yan still believes more.
So he immediately ordered Wang Shuang and Cheng Lian to shrink their formation, and at the same time sent scouts to inquire about the news.
It's freezing, but the roads are pretty good. Due to the Han Emperor's patrol, the local officials along the way all seemed to be conscientious, and the arrangements for roads and other aspects were also quite appropriate. In addition, the 5,000 men and horses on the left side of the Yulin Army in Hanoi, and the escort of county soldiers from all over the country along the way, so there was almost nothing to do along the way.
Zhao ** escorted the car to the border of the county and stopped.
According to the military law of the Han Dynasty, soldiers from various counties were not allowed to leave the local area without authorization, so they could only escort them to this place.
But it's nothing, the left cavalry of the Yulin Army has experienced the battle formation and has a lot of experience.
The person who served as the commander of the left cavalry was He Jin's cronies, Fengche Du Lieutenant Biqiu Yi. This person is quite brave in battle, has made many achievements, and is a general. This is another person that Dong Li has never heard of, and his personality is a little arrogant, and he doesn't seem to be very convinced by Dong Li's command. After joining up with Xun Li, he nominally obeyed the dispatch, but in fact, he led the Yulin Army to open the way in front, and basically did not have any intersection with Dong Li, and even after the convergence, he only met Dong Li once.
For such a person, Dong Li didn't want to pay attention to it.
The two armies are almost twenty miles apart, and even if there is something, Dong Yan tries to solve it by himself.
But this eyelid jumped. Not a good sign, indeed.
"Cheng Lian, immediately send someone to inform Lord Biqiu Yi, asking him to slow down his march and not to distance ten miles from us."
After Kaoru ordered the arrangement, about half an hour passed. A junior colonel came to report: "Lord Biqiu said that there may be heavy snow at night to see the sky, and it is best to speed up the march." In front of us is Yongqiu, where you can camp ...... He also said that if you are so timid, it is better to stay in Huiyang, which is the safest. ”
"What a thief!"
Wang Shuang was furious and couldn't help but scold.
Kaoru waved his hand. Signal his subordinates to calm down. After pondering for a while, he ordered someone to find Ren Hongchang, "Hongchang." From now on, your Luan Guard Battalion must be on guard at all times. Biqiu Yi marched so boldly, I always felt a little ...... In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful. Inform me separately. We'll camp in Yongqiu tonight, and we'll arrive in Gaoyi tomorrow. ”
"Whoa!"
Ren Hongchang intervened and saluted immediately. Then turn the horse back to the camp.
The own Xiaohuangmen passed Dong Li's words to the Han Emperor, and made Dong Li's decision. Emperor Han didn't have any opinions.
Coming out of the yang. The journey was safe and sound, and it probably won't be a big deal.
The law and order situation in Jizhou is compared to other places. Still nicely. Especially after quelling the rebellion of the Montenegrin Army, there is basically no trace of rogues on the land of Jizhou. In addition, for the rest of the month, the county soldiers from all over the country carried out ferocious attacks and encirclement and suppression of the Liukou, so that the road was safe and sound, and there were no twists and turns.
Yongqiu?
Ban was on his horse, frowning and whispering.
Xun Yu couldn't help but ask, "Strategist, what's wrong with this Yongqiu?" ”
Ban shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with that. Yongqiu was named the country of Qi in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the people of Qi were worried about the sky here. The place is open on all sides, and there is no danger that you can be stationed. Moreover, it is one hundred and forty miles away from Zhao and ninety miles away from Gaoyi, which is exactly a break point. The subordinates thought that staying in Yongqiu, once something happened, it would be very dangerous. ”
"Oh?"
Kaoru frowned, "What about Mr. Yi?" ”
"It's best not to stop at Yongqiu and pass through here as soon as possible. After entering Gaoyi, it should be considered safe. ”
Looking up at the sky, Dong Yan couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
There is no doubt that Ban Jia has a point. But the point is that Biqiu Yi's side is probably not going to listen to him.
"I'll go and ask for a decree first, and then I'll deliberate!"
After Xun Yu finished speaking, he urged the horse to go to the Kowloon chariot. When the Han Emperor went out on patrol, this guard of honor will naturally not be small. In addition to escorting the people and horses of the North Palace, there are also golden gourd warriors, warriors in front of the palace, and attendants in the Yellow Gate, etc., adding up to one or two thousand people.
The little yellow door on duty is Zhang Gong, who is often servant.
Hearing that Dong Yan asked to see the emperor, he naturally didn't dare to be a little lazy. A moment later, the Han Emperor summoned Dong Li to meet him.
After listening to Dong Li's worries, Emperor Han laughed instead.
Dong Qing couldn't help but be worried...... If it is peaceful today, my trip is even more in accordance with the will of heaven and sealed Zen, how dare Xiaoxiao appear? ”
In the chariot, it is magnificent and extremely spacious.
There are six braziers inlaid with gold and jade, burning charcoal, making this chariot as warm as spring.
Empress He was talking to the prince next to her, and after Emperor Han finished speaking, she couldn't help but say: "Xun Xiaoqing's family, what the emperor said is right." What is the danger of staying in Yongqiu? Mourning family, you are learning from the country, and the people are worried...... Coming out of Zhao State, the journey was hard enough. Let's stay overnight in Yongqiu tonight. Besides, with Xunqing here, even if there is a small appearance, there must be no help. Your Majesty, do you think what the mourning family said makes sense? ”
"The queen has a point."
When Emperor Han said this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Besides, I have heard for a long time that Dong Qing is brave and powerful, and his use of soldiers is even more superb. I haven't seen Xunqing you make a move, if you really don't know whether you live or die, you can just learn Dong Qing's skills. ”
Speaking of this, Dong Li has no excuse to refuse.
I smiled helplessly a few times in my heart, and said in my heart: I just hope I'm really worrying.
He immediately confessed and quit the chariot.
He Zhang Gong said softly: "Lord Zhang, the emperor can ask you here." I will arrange the Luanwei camp outside, if there is anything, you can go to them directly. ”
For Dong Li, Zhang Gong also has no good feelings.
But I also know in my heart that there is no comparison here than Yang, in case something really happens. That's definitely the Nine Clans, and there are no dead corpses.
So he agreed very cooperatively: "Don't worry, Master Dong, our family must be careful." ”
It seems that everything that should be explained has already been explained......
But Dong Lidi's eyelids still kept jumping. It made him feel a flurry for no reason.
That night, the chariot arrived at Yongqiu.
There has already been a lieutenant of Fengche, and the left cavalry of the Yulin Army, the general Biqiu Yi, has already chosen a sheltered place and set up camp.
After welcoming the Han Emperor's chariot into the camp, Dong Li led the people to prepare to enter, but was blocked by a team of men.
"My lord, my general said it. The Yulin Army doesn't have much baggage on its own, so it really can't arrange for your men and horses to be stationed there. Please also bring people to set up camp on your own, Your Majesty has the protection of our Yulin Army. There will never be any danger. ”
I'm already very dissatisfied with that Biqiu Yi!
When Kaoru heard this, he was furious.
What kind of thing are you? I have no grievances with you, so why embarrass us like this? Everyone is working for the emperor. At this time, you are still playing tricks and making small moves...... I really don't know what's going on in your head.
Just about to get angry. But he was stopped by Ban Jia.
"My lord, it is not appropriate to clash with the Yulin Army at this time. They have as many people as we do. If there is a commotion, it will get up. I'm shocked, I'm afraid it's not good for you and me. Bear with him for a moment. Wait until you get back to the sun, and then clean it up
Kaoru gritted her steel teeth, took a deep breath, and finally endured it.
"Okay, tell Lord Biqiu Yi, and say that we are stationed on the periphery. Protect the emperor and notify me immediately if there is anything. ”
As the commander-in-chief, but there is no way for his subordinates, Dong Li has never been so breathless.
After suppressing his anger and saying two words, Dong Li immediately ordered people to camp on a hill not far from the Yulin Army camp. Although it is not sheltered from the wind, the view is very good. The Beigong soldiers quickly set up the camp and buried the pot to cook.
After inspecting the camps, Kaoru arranged the guards and returned to the tent.
Ban Yan said: "My lord, just now my subordinates looked at the camp of the Yulin Army, and it seems that there is no vigilance. See if we're ......"
"Forget it, it's an extraordinary matter, since Biqiu Yi wants to play prestige, let's avoid it, order Cheng Lian, and take into account the vigilance on the periphery of the Yulin Army. Anyway, everything is for the sake of the emperor's safety, and other things will be talked about later. ”
As he was talking, Wang Shuang came in from the outside scolding.
"Lord, this can't be done!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's not those grandsons of the Yulin Army, when we passed by just now, they teased us for a while, saying...... Lord, you are the boss, our dignified Beigong Wei, when have you received this kind of bird spirit, you should teach them a good lesson. ”
Kaoru's eyes narrowed, "How do you teach a lesson?" Ziquan, let's bear with it for a while. After returning to Yang, there is a chance to clean them up. Don't make trouble now, in that case, it won't do us any good, bear with us. ”
A guard brought a meal, and Dong Li beckoned everyone to dine together.
At this time, the night was already very deep, and suddenly the wind rose, and it snowed heavily around the middle of the hour.
Xun Li couldn't sleep in the big tent of the Chinese army, so he simply got up and took Wang Shuang and some guards to inspect the camp one by one.
Fortunately, Beigong Wei has been trained for two years after all, and even in such an environment, he still remains vigilant.
"Yongqiu was originally the land of the Qi Kingdom, and in the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a very tragic battle with the Song Kingdom here. Later, when the country was defeated, it moved to Chunyu between Qilu. After the Song State occupied Yongqiu, a plague occurred not long after, and the entire Yongqiu ...... People thought that this place was cursed by the people, so it was uninhabited. ”
Ban Yan whispered to Dong Yan about the history of Yongqiu, stood at the gate of the camp, looked at the lonely wilderness and said: "This was originally a place where soldiers must fight, but since that plague, it has been deserted. Now, the entire Yongqiu combined, I'm afraid there are less than a thousand people. The great land has become desolate like this, and now that I think about it, there are some pity. ”
Xun Yu didn't speak, and said in his heart: The plague in Yongqiu at the beginning was only related to that tragic battle.
A lot of people died, and they couldn't be cleaned up in time, so naturally there would be a plague epidemic. This was originally a very simple truth, but in this day and age, it seems very mysterious. Epidemics and disasters are often linked to the theory of ghosts and gods.
Looking at the sky, Dong Yan yawned: "It's not early, everyone rest early, and we have to hurry tomorrow." ”
So saying, he turned to go back to the tent.
But after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned sharply, and looked out into the dark wilderness.
"Lord, what's wrong?"
"Have you heard anything happening?"
The cold wind howled, like a ghost crying wolf. The goose feathers and snow make the vision extremely blurred.
Ban Jia and the others listened attentively, but they didn't hear any movement. couldn't help but look at Dong Yan with a brush, with doubts in his eyes.
Did you hear it wrong?
Kaoru patted his head, and was about to speak, when from a distance, suddenly there was a neighing of horses, followed by a scream.
This time, everyone heard it.
Xun Li's heart tightened, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, in the dark, a horse galloped over, it was the Beigong guard scout sent by Xun Li.
The scout had an arrow stuck in his back, and as he rushed up the hill, he fell from his horse.
"My lord, there is, there is an enemy......"
As early as when Kaoru saw the scout, he had already ordered: "Blow the assembly trumpet, and prepare my horses and weapons immediately." ”
Three steps and two steps, ran to the scout's side and picked him up.
"My lord, there is an enemy......
"Enemies? Is it the enemy there? How many? ”
"I can't see clearly...... There are a lot of them. I was the only one in the whole team...... I'm coming this way, and I estimate the time of a stick of incense......"
The scout had not finished his sentence before he had lost his breath.
But the general meaning has already been said, the entire scout team, more than a dozen people, only he came back to report.
The whining horn sounded, and the Beigong Wei camp immediately moved.
In the distance, the large camp of the Yulin Army did not seem to move. Dong Li led the people to the gate of the camp, and saw Biqiu Yi coming with people in a daze.
"Dong Li, what are you tossing in the middle of the night?"
Kaoru urged the horse over, and whipped it over. Drew Qiu Yi's face to the point that the skin was open and bloody.
"Bastard, that's how you protect the emperor? Enemy attack, there is enemy attack...... Gather me at once. ”
Biqiu Yi screamed when he was pumped, and he pulled out his sword.
But Dong Li's words behind him made him wake up suddenly, and he was suddenly clever.
Wanting to ask again, Dong Yan had already swept past him on horseback and galloped towards the location of the Chinese army.
Ren Hongchang's Luanwei battalion, because it was closely following the chariot battle, was also in the Yulin Army camp. It became a camp of its own, and the familiar rallying cry was heard. Ren Hongchang had already put on his armor and rushed over with a bronze mask.
"My lord, what's wrong?"
"Wake up the emperor immediately and gather people...... It's not clear how many enemies there are, but you guys have to be ready to fight. ”
"Whoa!"
After Xun Yu finished explaining, he turned his horse's head and galloped away outside the Yulin Army camp.
Biqiu Yi also sensed that something was wrong, and he didn't care that Dong Li had whipped him just now, and stepped forward to block Xun Li's way.
"Master Dong, what should we do?"
Is this also the general of the Yulin Army who came down from the battlefield of Sili? Dong Yan frowned and said coldly: "Your prayer is just a small stream of rogues." Gather your men and horses at once and get ready for battle. We can hold out in the camp and wait for reinforcements from Gaoyi. ”
Kaoru didn't care whether Qiu Yi understood it or not, and left the Yulin Army camp with people.
At this moment, Beigong Wei had already assembled and formed a queue, which was directly in front of the Yulin Army camp.
In the silent wilderness, there was a sound of horses' hooves, rumbling and very powerful.
Listen only to this voice, and the other side should have two thousand cavalry, and as for the infantry army......
Taking a deep breath, Dong Li urged the horse to the front of the battle.
"Have you ever found out?"
"Three thousand cavalry, eight thousand infantry. However, it is not clear where it came from, but according to the scouts, it seems that it is not the remnants of the anti-thieves. ”
With more than 10,000 horses, it sounds like there is still a lot of strength to fight.
Xun Yu immediately raised the big lance and shouted: "Beigong Wei, form a phalanx, prepare to meet the enemy!"
