Chapter 51: Pioneer Qin Qiong

Yang Lin was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard the drum beating tee; He looked up at the sky and sighed: "The auspicious time has arrived, my military order is like a mountain, and Ma Rang is about to set off!" It's a shame I didn't ask you for advice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cheng Biting Jin, Kan Ling, and Luo Shixin I will appoint you as the captain of the Seventh Rank Folding, and temporarily listen to orders in the pioneer battalion of the Thirteenth Taibao; When Goguryeo is extinguished, I will be rewarded according to my merits! ”

"Yes, thank you for driving a thousand years old!" The three of them thanked each other.

Yang Lin glanced at them and said: "A is the power of the general, as a general, you can't do without armor, middle officer, pick three pairs of bright Kai from my collection and give them to the three heroes!" ”

"Yes!" The Chinese army agreed, turned and left. Yang Lin said to Laihu'er: "Chongshan, I will leave Luo Fang and Xue Liang and the two guards under their command a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses, plus Maide's 10,000 sailors for you."

Your goal is to go to sea from Donglae, land in Zhuanshui, and cooperate with the main army to achieve direct success to Pyongyang, I hope you will serve the country loyally and succeed! ”

Lai Hu'er and Zhou Fashang hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Please rest assured, I will not disappoint the prince!" ”

Yang Lin nodded, saw the army that had been prepared, and said to Wei Wendao: "Wentong, beat the drum, go!" ”

"Knock knock!" The drums shook the sky, Yang Lin urged the war horse to lead the troops out of the joint camp, Wei Wentong bowed his hand to them, and then followed.

Laihu'er took everyone to the outside of the camp, and watched Yang Lin and them go away before returning to the camp.

"Drumming, gathering generals, let's discuss the matter of sending troops!" Laihu'er gave an order, and someone took the order and beat the drum of the gathering general.

There was a drum bang, General Zuo Wuwei and the head of the waterway march came to protect the children and gather the crowd to raise the tent, and grassroots captains like Cheng Yanjin had no right to go. They had already been led to the tent that had been arranged for them to wait for news.

Soon Yang Linci's Bright Armor had already been issued; It is worthy of the prince's collection, which is much stronger than the stolen goods of Gao Kaidao that they seized. The three of them couldn't wait to wear it on their bodies, not to mention that people relied on clothes, they immediately became much more majestic.

Lao Cheng laughed and said: "It's really good, the two sets of armor at home were given to Master Yan and Shitai; Our Liangshan general's armor is all ready! Is Lao Yang Lin really a good person? ”

Luo Shixin asked suspiciously: "I heard my godmother say that Yang Lin is the murderer of my godfather; How can my brother recognize him as his father-in-law, isn't this a thief as his father? ”

Cheng Yanjin shook his head slightly and said: "You can't say that, Yang Lin and Uncle Qin were also their own masters back then, and they shouldn't be regarded as enemies for killing their fathers." Besides, Yang Lin cherishes talents very much, if he wants to strengthen the second brother Qin, there is no way to do it. Don't think about it too much, let's wait for Second Brother Qin to come back and ask! ”

The two of them thought deeply and nodded in agreement. So the three of them stayed in the tent, competing in some martial arts while waiting for Qin Qiong.

It wasn't until late in the evening that Qin Qiong dragged his tired body back to the account, he arranged for his own soldiers to get food, and the brothers sat around eating and chatting.

Qin Qiong told what happened today in detail, and Cheng Biting Jin was amazed. Qin Qiong finally said: "Today, the chief manager has already ordered that our pioneer battalion will set off on the warship of the naval pioneer battalion in three days."

This time, the team assigned to us was the first brigade of the left guard under the jurisdiction of the eldest lady Paul Fang, with a total of five battalions and 5,000 men. The order given to us by the general is to start from Dongnae, cross the Liaoshui, land on the Yalu River, and then cooperate with the main force to suppress Pyongyang! ”

Lao Cheng snorted coldly and said: "This plan is too conservative, so our water division has completely become a vassal of the land route, and it will not work at all."

According to what I mean, you can release the Liaoshui and the Yalu River and do not attack. Only Hunshui, the closest to Pyongyang, is the capital of Goryeo, and it can take advantage of its unpreparedness and attack the troops directly; Gao Li Ruosi looked inward, fought head to end, the country of projectiles, and could go down every day. ”

Qin Qiong thought about it for a while, and also felt that it was feasible and said: "Let's eat first, and after the meal, I will go to see the manager and report the plan!" Cheng Yanjin and the others nodded in goodness.

After the meal, Qin Qiong went to see Laihu'er, and Cheng Biting Jin and the three of them continued to wait; This time it was not long, only half an hour later, Qin Qiong returned to the military tent.

Everyone saw Qin Qiong's strange expression, and they didn't know what happened to the results of his report? Qin Qiong sat down and took a sip of water and said, "The chief has already agreed to our plan, but His Majesty the Emperor's holy decree has just arrived at the camp.

His Majesty thinks that the small frontier countries do not obey the indoctrination and do not know the etiquette, so they should still focus on the reform; He demanded that as soon as the armies encountered the enemy and asked to surrender, they would immediately stop the attack, and ask for a decision! ”

Cheng Yanjin was stunned for a moment and asked: "It took countless dollars for millions of troops to come out to fight; Is it still mainly probationary? Is he kidding? There is also the main army in Liaodong, and we have gone straight to Pyongyang, where is His Majesty the Emperor? ”

Qin Qiong smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty's golden body, of course you can't go to the former enemy in person, he will lead people to command and dispatch in Zhuozhou." ”

"Smack!" Cheng Yanjin slapped the table and said angrily: "Play the piano indiscriminately!" What kind of bullshit command is this! If we are besieging a city, and we see that we are going to succeed, the enemy offers to surrender; Are we going to give up? Is the blood of tens of millions of soldiers in vain? Ask him for instructions, half a month has passed back and forth, and the enemy's defenses have long been rearranged! Shall we do it all over again? ”

Qin Qiong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Anyway, the order is like this, maybe Your Majesty thinks that as soon as the army arrives at the enemy, it will have to surrender to the wind, right?" ”

Lao Cheng said angrily: "He thought it was a fart!" In the end, this war is all about face! Just to save face when he was besieged by the Turks last year! The life and death of the soldiers and the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui are not as important as our face!"

"Silence!" Qin Qiong hurriedly persuaded Lao Cheng; Lao Cheng gasped twice and asked, "Second brother, who is the commander who led the troops this time?" Is it Yang Lin? ”

Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "How is it possible?" His Majesty the Emperor was afraid of death, and Yang Lin was left in Zhuozhou to protect him. This time, the army was divided into two routes, and a total of twenty-four armies were dispatched; The chief manager on the right is Yu Zhongwen, and the chief manager on the left is Yu Wenshu. ”

Cheng Yanjin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Yu Zhongwen is pedantic and hesitant; Yuwen is a traitor and forgets his public because of selfishness. None of them are the masters who are outside the country and are not subject to military orders. And Goguryeo's minister, Eulji Moondeok, is resourceful and cunning, and this crusade is in danger! ”

Qin Qiong sighed and was silent for a long time; After a while, he said: "Biting gold, you say that we have no chance of success at all?" ”

Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said, "Second brother, I heard that Liaodong City is a rare fortified city in the world; It's not going to happen overnight! If we can't capture Liaodong for a while, and the enemy is repeatedly playing tricks and surrendering, our time will be wasted on asking for instructions and reporting!

Second brother, 3 million horses! How much food and forage do you have to consume every day? You have also seen the situation at home, it can be said that the people are not living, the world is in chaos, can we still support it? ”

Qin Qiong and the others were speechless for a long time, Cheng Yanjin waved his hand and said, "People don't cherish their own country, what do we care?" After this errand, I will go back to my Liangshan! The Great Sui Dynasty is already in turmoil, who cares about making trouble for me? ”

The brothers nodded, everyone was in a bad mood, and hastily cleaned up and went back to rest.

The next day, Qin Qiong took the military order to come to Hu'er to find the eldest lady Paul Fang and hand over the people; Luo Fang hated them so much now; As soon as Qin Qiong came, he monopolized the favor of the old prince, and several of his subordinates even lost face.

However, Qin Qiong took the military order to protect his son, and he didn't dare to disobey; It's just that it takes time to reorganize the army, so let him come back tomorrow to lead the troops.

Qin Qiong thought about it, and turned around and said goodbye; Luo Fang angrily smashed several cups. This is a curtain of the door, and a white-faced young man comes in from outside.

"Brother-in-law, why are you angry? Who is this sick man? ”

Luo Fang glanced at him and said, "Xu Gang, I think you have heard about yesterday's incident, this guy is Qin Qiong, the thirteenth Taibao newly acquired by his father." He is already a guerrilla general, a marching pioneer officer! This is a great order from the governor, and my soldiers are coming! ”

Xu Gang smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, do you want to take a breath?" Luo Fang glared at him and said, "Nonsense, why don't I want to?" But they have the commander-in-chief's military order, what can I do? ”
