Chapter 47 No one is decided
However, no one decides, and when everything is ready, the autumn rain ignores good and evil, and is hearty.
extinguished Li Yuan's intrigues, but the war continued. The soldiers retreated to shelter from the rain, and the sentinels held felt cloths on guard and cursed one after another.
Li Yuan lifted the curtain of the tent, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the raindrops converged into a trickle, avoiding the depression, which reminded him of the famous saying: The water is only good and the sea is below, and the mountains are not high and the sky is high.
Wait for yourself! I don't feel good, and the enemy is no better.
But this wait is more than ten days, like a world of sorrow and joy, touching Mintian's feelings, and tears fell happily.
After the interference of the rain, this battle could not be fought, the land was muddy, and as soon as I walked through a pit, if I didn't pay attention to it, I fell on all fours.
However, Han Sui was not idle, and surrendered in disguised form under Li Xiangru, the Taishou of Longxi, and Song Jian. Waving the army to the north, Wuwei and Zhangye two counties were killed one after another. Jiuquan Taishou Huang Yan knew that he could not be defeated, so he turned against and surrendered to Han Sui. And Dong Zhuo didn't even fight, and withdrew to Anding County. It seems that the two have a tacit understanding, Han Sui did not invade the east, left soldiers and horses to garrison, and returned to Jincheng.
Most of Liangzhou was lost, shocking the border, Geng was panicked, and hurriedly issued an order for conscription, but it was useless for Fu Xiedi to stop it.
As soon as the news came, the people hurried to harvest the grain, some fled into the mountains, and some were forced to join the army.
Li Yuan looked at the empty camp on the mountain, the kingdom had withdrawn to Longxi a few days ago and joined the rebels!
"What? Let's get in right away? Li Yuan couldn't believe it.
Cheng Qiu was fearless: "This is the order of Lord Assassin Shi, and I hope that Captain Li will march quickly." ”
"Go back and tell Master Geng to set off on a later day." Li Yuan had no choice but to suppress his anger.
"What day is it?" Cheng Qiu asked.
Li Yuan glared at him: "Three days later." ”
Cheng Qiu seemed to have received a satisfactory answer and went to Su Zhenghe's camp to announce the order.
The sun is shining, sprinkled all over the world, but it can't bring any warmth to the people of Liangzhou, conscription and food, and wives are separated, as if this world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time.
Three days later, Li Yuan led his troops out on the expedition, and halfway through the march, a group of men and horses poured out from the hillside, and he did not panic when he saw the officers and soldiers coming. A big man flashed out of it, single-handedly greeted the general, Huang Shao asked in front of him, "Who are you?" ”
"I am Pang Rou, leading the township to vote." This big man is seven feet three or four long, with a big face, red phoenix eyes, and a halberd, "My brother is also an official in the county." ”
"Who is your brother?" Huang Shao looked at his appearance and guessed seven or eight points.
"Pound yes too!"
"It turned out to be Brother Ling Ming." Huang Shao ordered a soldier around him to take him to find Pang De.
Pang Rou hugged his fists and thanked him, and the team continued to move forward.
The withered branches and leaves in the mountains, and the dark and damp weather made Huang Shao's heart haze. Although there were 10,000 troops on this trip, he was not optimistic about the prospects. Although Han Sui's soldiers and horses were far away in Jincheng, they could support them at any time. Song Jian and Li Xiangru have been in Longxi for many years, with deep roots and branches, and it may be difficult to shake them in a short time. In addition, most of Liangzhou has fallen, which is equivalent to a shield, blocking the courage of many soldiers.
Wen Chou is on the side, full of joy, as if this 'beast' has returned to his hometown, his eyes are wandering, climbing branches for a while, crossing the wall for a while, and he can't say anything.
Although Huang Shao didn't like him, the shadow in his heart couldn't help but be dispelled by him, cheered up, and moved towards the unknown and longing future.
Pang Rou only brought more than 200 people and joined his brother's team.
Li Yuan touched his wet hair and cautiously looked around, for fear that an ambush would rush out. Just be cautious all the way, and come? Dao County, further on, is Xiangwu County.
Su Zhenghe, Pang De, Li Yuan and others gathered together to discuss how to enter the army.
Su Zhenghe naturally wanted to march into the army quickly, which was a major matter that Geng Cong repeatedly advised, but he didn't know how to march and arrange, so he had to not say a word.
Pound was also clueless, grinning in a hurry.
Li Yuan's mind was muddy and he couldn't find a good plan, but he still had to do a pre-war mobilization and raise his morale first: "There are only seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses in Longxi, and even if the people are forcibly conscripted into the army, it is only 20,000. ”
Su Zhenghe felt reasonable, but after thinking about it, what if the enemy increased his troops, and there were still five or six thousand soldiers and horses under the kingdom, he was in a hurry, but he couldn't hit morale.
"It's getting late, and tomorrow we will attack Xiangwu County." Li Yuan looked at the gradually darkening sky.
The army has entered the county, let's fight for the night!
Dao County is less than 50 miles away from Xiangwu County, which is located between the edge of the Loess Plateau and the hilly area of the Qinling Mountains.
Li Yuan climbed to the top of the city, holding the female wall in his hand, the mountains were dormant in the night, and occasionally there would be a fleeting light in his sight: "Dao County is the throat of Hanyang, and it is a great achievement for County Magistrate Zhang to defend this city." ”
Zhang Yun, the county magistrate of Dao, was on the side, hugged his fists and said: "What is the ability of the lower officials?" Thanks to the prestige of the adults, the enemy was cowardly before fighting. ”
Li Yuan was very comfortable by this sycophant, but his face was still indifferent, and he waved his hand and said: "County Magistrate Zhang should be humble, I don't know how long this battle will last, and I will rely on you more in the future." ”
Zhang Yun shook his head again and again: "That's the duty of the lower officials." ”
"That's good." After Li Yuan arranged the matter of defending the city, he followed Zhang Yun to the place where he stayed.
Didao County is where Longxi is located, since Li Xiangru was forced by the situation, the day of the alliance with the rebels, this county began to be heavily guarded, and the four gates were very strictly checked.
In the county hall, Li Xiangru was drinking with the kingdom, and the two were talking and laughing freely, unscrupulous, thinking of the identities of the two, which really made people laugh and laugh.
Wang Guo was originally a vulgar person, and his speech was irregular, although Li Xiangru was disgusted in his heart, his demeanor was very intimate: "Brother Wang, can you get drunk?" ”
"Haha! Brother, where are you talking about this? Have you ever seen the sea blocking hundreds of rivers and rivers? "The kingdom has been poured again.
Li Xiangru heard him call his brother, and he almost blurted out with anger in his heart: Who is your brother? Nor do you open your eyes to see what virtue you have!
He is allowed to call others brother, but he is not allowed to call others his virtuous brother, this self-esteem is deformed, just like the way of this world.
"Virtuous brother!" The kingdom still does its own thing, "If it weren't for the sudden autumn rain, I would have cut down Li Yuan's head brother a long time ago." ”
"That's just as well." Li Xiangru agreed, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Li Yuan has arrived with his troops?" Dao County, Xiangwu bears the brunt, with less than 3,000 soldiers and horses, it may be difficult to resist, can Brother Wang lead troops to reinforce tomorrow? ”
The courage of the kingdom meets wine, the courage of dreams, and the height of the sky, coupled with Li Xiangru, a long-standing official in a county, he welcomes him with his intentions, and he promises: "Don't worry, brother, I will raise troops tomorrow...... Send troops to kill him...... People turn on their backs. ”
Li Xiangru greeted him with a few words, thinking about when Han Sui's soldiers and horses would arrive, and when he was thinking about his future destiny, a piercing snoring sound sounded in his ears, and when he raised his eyes, the kingdom had fallen asleep on the dining table, and he was even more disgusted when he saw his wine and food.
