Chapter 0228 Grazing Mingtang River
Hearing the news, Qian Heng raised his eyebrows.
In fact, Qian Heng may not have noticed the scouts in Western Xia for the first time, but after Yang Zaixing came back, he found the traces of those scouts.
Especially after Wu Song came back, there were special scouts under his hands, and many of the young people in Tubo had become very good scouts after Wu Song's special training.
Now, these scouts of Western Xia, every time they came, when they left, and when they came, what they might have seen were all in Qian Heng's grasp.
However, Hou Chuan's performance still made Qian Heng very satisfied.
At this time, Wu Song on the side responded with a smile, "Young Master Heng, in this case, we may need to take the initiative." ”
Qian Heng nodded, "Those three scouts have all been brought back, right?" ”
Wu Song smiled, "Young master, don't worry, you can do whatever you want with those three guys!" ”
Qian Heng also smiled, "Then let them stay on the mountain for two or three days first, and when we are almost ready, we will take them back together!" ”
The conversation between Qian Heng and Wu Song made Hou Chuan confused.
At this time, Hou Chuan, who was already regarded as Qian Heng's entourage, finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, "Dongjia, could it be that we did something wrong?" ”
Hou Chuan is not stupid, listening to the tone of Qian Heng and Wu Song, he can also guess that they are basically doing useless work when they catch those three scouts.
Qian Heng shook his head and smiled, "Of course it's not that you did anything wrong, it's just to catch up with my arrangement, in the last two days, I'm going to Mingtangchuan, a few of you, all of you will follow along, maybe you can make up for it, and let out the evil anger in your heart!" ”
Qian Heng knew in his heart that the reason why Hou Chuan and the others were rushing forward was because the Western Xia army on the border was too cunning and often used various means to deal with the Song soldiers. This was also one of the main reasons why Qian Heng would tolerate those Western Xia scouts and wander back and forth around his military city for so long.
When he heard that Qian Heng was about to go to Mingtang Chuan, Hou Chuan was stunned.
Hou Chuan never thought that Qian Heng would be so bold.
"Boss, you're not kidding, are you?"
Qian Heng was amused, "Do you think I'm joking?" ”
"Then you go to Mingtang River?"
Qian Heng smiled, and didn't hide it, "Xixia has such a good place and doesn't take advantage of it, of course I have to go to Mingtang River to graze, not only that, if the opportunity is right, it is okay to go to the Vulture Sea to graze!" ”
Hou Chuan's understanding of the situation of the garrisons of the various Western Xia departments was clearer than anyone present, so after understanding Qian Heng's purpose of wanting to grab the pasture from the Western Xia, Hou Chuan realized that the opportunity to give full play to his advantages had come.
"The owner, my subordinates know a general named Mi Bao of the Left Wing Divine Brave Army Division, if the owner has a useful opportunity, you might as well contact him! The subordinates thought that this Mi Bao would come out to guard the border military division reluctantly. ”
Qian Heng was originally not very interested in this general of the Western Xia Military Division, but when he heard Hou Chuan mention that he actually knew this Mi Bao, Qian Heng suddenly became a little curious, "Hou Chuan, how did you know this person?" Could it be that this man can still help us? ”
Hou Chuan hesitated, "My subordinates aren't sure if this person will be able to help us, but it's still okay to get some news from him!" The subordinates can first meet with the brother in the Left Wing Divine Warrior Division to figure out whether the rice capture is available or not, and then make further considerations! ”
"Okay, this matter is not in a hurry, this time come with us to Mingtang River first, and see the reaction of the two military divisions of Western Xia!"
This time he rushed to the Mingtang River in the territory of Western Xia, Qian Heng did not directly lead troops to raid, but drove a large group of horses, and entered the territory of Western Xia with the support of the horses.
Qian Heng did not go blindly, Yang Zaixing and Wu Song under his command, two generals to protect their own safety, and then more than 2,000 people led by Wu Jue, Hao Hao Tang Tang, drove nearly a thousand war horses, crossed Hengshan, followed both sides of the river of Mingtang River, and pounced directly to the north.
Thousands of war horses, grazing the Mingtang River.
Rolling up bursts of smoke and dust, and driving thousands of war horses, all of them were the herdsmen of Tubo under Wu Jue, all the way over, every time they came to a place where the pasture was fat, Qian Heng would deliberately stop, set up camp, and build it in accordance with the way of the big village in the army.
After three consecutive days, Qian Heng finally rushed to the source of the Mingtang River, here, it was just an extremely low hill, and I don't know why there was a spring on it, and the spring water that flowed out continuously became the source of the Mingtang River.
Standing on this low hill, looking north, you can see the endless yellow sand.
It is no wonder that there are very few Western Xia military divisions stationed here, and in this kind of place, the source of water cannot even be supplied with hundreds of soldiers and horses.
Along the way, Qian Heng also appreciated the preciousness of the forage grass in this water area on the northern edge of the desert, and Qian Heng also calculated, if you only count the places where the grass can grow in the Mingtang River and the areas on both sides of the river, it is enough to be thousands of hectares.
Just when Qian Heng entered the territory of Western Xia with a large number of men and horses, the people of the Shenyong Military Division and the Xiangyou Military Division in the left wing had already noticed Qian Heng's movements.
Especially the Left Wing Divine Warrior Division, the three captured by Qian Heng were the scouts they discharged.
With the continuous reporting information of these scouts, the commander of the Left Wing Divine Brave Army Division was very disdainful of Qian Heng's existence, even if Qian Heng was now the commander of the Suide Army, he still did not include it in the eyes of the commander of the Left Wing Divine Brave Army Division.
Listening to his subordinates' responses, the commander of the Divine Brave Army Division waved his hand, "I, the Great Xia Scout, can send back all the details of the other party's arrangement every day!" ”
There was a general with a beard on his face below, with a worried face, "General Xiangli, this Qian Heng is not simple, General Li Liangfu died in the hands of this Qian Heng!" ”
Hearing his subordinates say this, the Xiangli general's face immediately became gloomy, "Mi Bao, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that General Mi Capture wanted to defect to the Song army? ”
Mi Zhuo snorted coldly, "General Xiangli, don't forget, that Qian Heng brought more than 200 people, and he had the ability to rush into the camp and take off General Li Liangfu's head, that is a camp of 10,000 people, you look at our camp again, once this Qian Heng suddenly attacked, we didn't have time to react!" ”
I have to say that this general Mi Bao is still very discerning about current affairs. It's a pity that this Xiangli general didn't listen to Mi Bao's advice, and snorted coldly, "Mi Bao, you actually dare to question the military might of my Great Xia Kingdom?" ”
Xiang Lidu said so, and Mi Bao stopped talking.
At this time, many people under Qian Heng's hands began to extend towards the edge of the surrounding meadows little by little, wanting to gallop their war horses throughout the Mingtang River Basin.
