Chapter 40: Light Ride

Wang Shen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Heavenly King, listen to what I say." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this year Huaixi has not rained for nearly a year, and the drought is severe in various places. The Huai River only touched the lower leg of the war horse, and the foot soldiers could easily cross the river, which was also the reason why Li Yu's former army had reached Pingyuan Town so easily a few days ago. The water of Hongze comes from the Huai River, the big river has no water, and Hongze Lake has also dried up. As far as I know, in the past when there was abundant rainfall, Hongze Lake flooded directly to the edge of Pingyuan Town. But now the king of heaven, you go out to see, there is a big barren beach in front of you, where is there still water? ”

Li Cheng said: "Yes, but I forgot, Hong Ze has shrunk to the point that he can't see it." However, the lake used to be full of water, and no one knows what was going on inside. If you cross the lake and copy to Li Yu's rear, the ghost knows what you will encounter along the way, how can you send a partial division to take this risk? ”

Wang Shen did not answer this question directly, but asked: "The Heavenly King is the only general with cavalry in the Jianghuai army except for Uncle Liu Ping. ”

Li Cheng moved the tip of the knife to a place: "I have figured it out, Li Yu's Chinese army is in the area of the Anhe River, traveling ten miles a day." The situation is urgent, and a certain person has limited hands, and it is too late to explore the situation in the lake and know where to go. ”

"Anhe, well, it's really coming quickly!" Wang Shen suddenly picked up the pen from the desk and drew a few irregular circles on Hongze Lake, thought for a moment, and drew an arrow in the small circle, pointing to the An River: "The strange soldiers of the King of Heaven can go straight to the old camp of Li Yuzhong's army along this marching route, and there is no water to march on this road." ”

"What are you?" Li Cheng's eyes widened.

"As a general, you should know astronomy and the topography of mountains and rivers. The first thing the army leader needs to do is to survey the terrain whenever he goes to a place, and the more detailed he is, the better, and he should also have a topographic map of the battlefield in his heart. These circles are areas with water, and this is what I have heard from the natives in Pingyuan Town in the past few days. ”

"Really?"

"Naturally, subordinates guarantee." Wang Shen nodded.

In fact, what he said just now was just speculation.

In later generations, he also came into contact with a lot of geographical information of ancient battlefields, and as a lover of military history, the map must be seen. Hongze Lake is surrounded by Suzhou, Suqian, Huai'an, Xuyi and other big cities, which is the core area of the Central Plains. The ancients chased the deer in the Central Plains and the deer in the Central Plains, which is said to be the Huaiyang area.

According to Wang Shen's knowledge, the average depth of Hongze Lake is three to five meters, and it was originally a group of shallow small lakes. On weekdays, there is a large pool of water, but this year the drought is severe and the water level recedes quickly, and these small lakes should be exposed, and there is land connection between the lakes and the lakes.

The small circles that Wang Shen drew in the lake just now are the small lakes in his memory.

Of course, there's a catch. There must be a big difference between ancient geography and modern geography, and he doesn't know where the water level of Hongze Lake is receding now, and whether there is a pedestrian road in the middle. However, I think so.

As far as he knows, it can be assumed that the drought in the Jianghuai region this year is very serious, and that the drought in southern China in the second decade of the 21 st century is only a drop in the bucket compared with the present.

Even then, in modern times, the water of the major lakes in the south has dried up. For example, the largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake, has only one-tenth of the water area of its former area, which is overgrown with weeds and turned into a sea of grass.

Even so, Hongze Lake, which is a shallow lake like Poyang Lake, is also supposed to be the same.

There's nothing to worry about either.

Wang Shen can be sure of this.

Li Cheng realized that this was a major fighter, Huo stood up, and the big sword on his body fell to the ground: "Haha, haha, I didn't even think of this." Surprise and attack unprepared, your method is very wonderful! ”

Wang Shen said with a smile: "Heavenly King, I am the commander of the heavy battalion of the Huai Army, and I am responsible for liaison and communication in your battalion. We are not at odds with Li Yuhan and the thieves, if the thief army comes, I won't be able to escape, and I ask the king to believe me. ”

"Haha, of course I believe you. Daosi, you said it well, for the generals to know astronomy and geography, pay attention to the article. After that, he put away his laughter and patted his hand: "Come on, raise the account!" ”

The drums beat fiercely at dusk.

Flocks of birds soar higher in the sunset, blending in with the twilight.

Li Licheng was in the lobby, counting on his fingers.

When the third finger of the road was raised, the officers of the entire army and above arrived.

The hall was full of majestic soldiers, their armor shining, but silent, only the sound of heavy breathing.

Everyone already knows that Li Tianwang has been recruited, and decided to fight with Li Yu, and today's promotion, presumably to issue a military order, an unprecedented war is about to start.

Li Cheng retracted his fingers and clenched his fists: "Everyone already knows that a certain person has been a great arrester and a killer envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has received an order from General Liu Taiwei to conquer Li Yu in Jinan." In fact, regardless of whether a certain person is recruited or not, this battle must be fought. ”

"Sizhou has a lot of territory, first there are more than 10,000 people from me, then Li Yu's 100,000 people arrived, and Liu Guangshi's 30,000 main forces also ran over. Hehe, it's really crowded! ”

"For example, this area is a pond that is about to dry up, and there is less water and more fish. If you have a bite to eat, others will have one less. If we want to live, we have to squeeze out the other fish with all our might, or bite them to death. As long as you dare to come to my Sizhou, whoever you are, you are a great enemy. ”

Hearing him say this, Wang Shen suddenly realized why he had happily agreed to fight Li Yu in front of Liu Guangshi before. In the final analysis, Li Chengcheng is a warlord and needs to raise troops in Sizhou. Now that so many troops are coming in, he can't tolerate it when a war breaks out here. Liu Guangshi can't do it, and neither can Li Yu.

Snobbery makes people fight, and things in the world can't escape the word profit after all.

Li Cheng showed his snow-white teeth and made a biting motion: "Everyone, look." ”

Standing in front of the map, the knife in Li Cheng's hand moved along the line drawn by Wang Shen: "A certain general will send a light cavalry to raid Li Yuzhong's army along this route and stab him in the heart." ”

"Now, Li Yuzhong's army has arrived at Anhe, and the battlefield is here."

After speaking, he turned the knife and threw it out with a "bang", just stabbing An He's position.

Almost half of the blade sank into the blue brick floor, and a few sparks flew up.

"If Chen Lan obeys the order, I will order you to lead a certain three hundred white light cavalry to rush forward, and you must rush to Anhe within two days, take Li Yu's head, and give it to Taiwei Liu to circulate the Huaixi army and boast of a certain martial arts."

A general walked out.

Hearing this slightly metallic trilling female voice, Wang Shen, who was standing on the side, felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly looked at it, only to find that this person was the female general who had fought with him that day.

This woman is quite tall, about 1.767 meters in appearance, and stands out among a kind of generals. With a slender waist and delicate facial features, in addition to his chest being really flat, he is simply a supermodel in later generations. The straight nose bridge, deep big eyes, quite neutral beauty, just one glance, makes people's hearts can't help beating.

It's just that she seems to have tattoos. There is a red, green, and green pattern spreading from her chest to her neck, and if you look closely, is it a dragon or a Jiao?

The Song people loved tattoos, the most famous of which were Shi Jin, the nine-patterned dragon, and Yan Qing, the prodigal son who was embroidered all over his body, and of course, both of whom were characters in the novel. In real history, the most famous tattoo is Guo Wei, the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

Guo Wei was covered with tattoos, and there were two flower finches embroidered on his neck, so he was called Guo Que'er.

In addition, Yue Fei also tattooed the words "loyal to the country" on his back, which shows the fashion of the Song people.

This girl will be about twenty-four or five, and it is when a girl is at her most beautiful. She is full of splendor, her eyes are fierce, she is simply a thorny rose, it turns out that her name is Chen Lanruo.

The word Lanruo comes from the Buddhist scriptures, which means the forest where the monks practice, and also refers to the monastery, which is very good!

It's just that this female general is not a kind person at first glance, but it has nothing to do with the compassionate Buddhism.

Female general: "Yes, father-in-law, daughter commands." ”

At this time, Wang Shen was taken aback, it turned out that Chen Lan was Li Cheng's righteous daughter, no wonder she was so fierce, and her martial arts seemed to be very good.

At this time, Li Cheng shouted again: "Wang Shen obeys orders." ”

Including the female generals, everyone's eyes fell on Wang Shen's face.

Wang Shenzhang Er King Kong was confused, and pointed at himself in amazement: "The king of heaven called me? ”

Li Cheng nodded: "Wang Shen, the plan to cross the arid lake and raid the old camp of Li Yuzhong's army is from you. You are the Lord and we are the guests. Among all the people here, you are the only one who is familiar with the road, and I bother you to be a township guide to lead the way for General Chen Lanruo. ”

The tone is beyond question.

Wang Shen has seen too much iron and blood in the past few days, and he just wants to quickly hand over the messenger and leave the land of the four wars with Anniang's sister and brother. Now that he was sent to Li Chengjun, he thought he was a guest, stayed for a while, and left after this battle was over. But he didn't want to, but now he was sent out by Li Cheng to guide the way.

In front of so many people, since Li Cheng had already given the order, he couldn't shirk it at all. People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Wang Shen felt bitter in his heart, but he had to bite the bullet and say, "Yes, Heavenly King." ”

"Good." Li Cheng shouted: "All armies are also prepared, Li Yu's main force is about to come over, no matter how General Chen Lanruo and Wang Shen's side fight, we must also prepare to attack." Soldiers, with the right fit, with the odd victory. It's time for us to get in touch with Li Yu. I want to teach the king of Liukou Mountain from Jinan what a real war is. ”

As he spoke, one after another arrows were thrown, and orders were issued like a stream, and the entire Plains Town was shrouded in the atmosphere before the Great War.
