Chapter 39: Two Hearts

Under an order, the Huaixi Army immediately changed the front army to the rear army, and the rear army to the front army, and returned to Tianchang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

glanced back at Wang Shen and Lu Can's distant backs, and Li Qiong's face was gloomy. He was very powerful in the Huaixi army, and he was the second person under Liu Guangshi. His nephew was killed by these two people, if he doesn't retaliate back, who will be afraid of his rule in the future?

However, Liu Guangshi seemed to trust the two of them very much, which made Li Qiong helpless.

"National treasure, in fact, we all know whether that His Majesty's handbook is true or false." Liu Guangshi looked at him and smiled.

Li Qiong: "Uncle Ping, what's the use of talking about this at this time?" The two have a close relationship, and they both call each other in private: "You are Huaixi Huaibei and our family, you say it is true, who can say false?" I just think that Li Cheng's decision is not credible, and you shouldn't recruit him. ”

"What if you don't recruit An, can you really fight with him, can this plain town be defeated?"

"Why does Uncle Ping want to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige?"

"The soldiers are fierce and mighty, Li Boyou is a vicious wolf, how can I not know. The matter of fighting a war has nothing to do with ambition or not. If this battle can't be won, or even the main force of our army will be lost in Sizhou, let alone Li Yu, even if it is the current hurdle, it will not be able to pass. Without the army, what are you and me? ”

"Our official family, don't look at his trust in us and other generals of the unified army, but since Liu and Miao forced the palace, everyone is afraid of it, but whenever you have soldiers at hand, you always want to take away your military power and replace it with someone else. Let's change to someone else, he is not at ease, and thinks about whether to change it again. If the door of Yangzhou is opened this time, once someone kills the river, my career will come to an end. Who can afford this responsibility? ”

"Li Cheng wants to be recruited, no matter whether the holy decree is true or not, we must make it true. Later, I will report to the court with an expedited report of 800 li, and say that Li Cheng has surrendered, and I will appoint him to be in charge of the Huaixi war. As for whether he can repel Li Yu, it is none of my Liu Guangshi's business, the court will punish him, and he will go to Li Cheng. Li Cheng will not give the official family face at that time, it is not a matter of concern. Liu Guangshi laughed softly.

Li Qiong's heart is bright, Taiwei Liu is not only afraid of being beaten by Li Cheng, but even Li Yu is afraid like a tiger, letting him go to the battlefield is more uncomfortable than killing his head, and he refuses to take any responsibility. This Uncle Liu Ping, who figured out the intentions of the official family to the bones, really knows how to be an official!

Recruit Li Cheng, let Li Cheng fight Li Yu, the matter will be successful, as the highest military governor of Huaibei and Huaixi, he Liu Guangshi will naturally take the first share of this great credit. If it can't be done, it won't matter, and the battle is not fought by the Huaixi Army, and the bad luck of the court can't be found on everyone's head.

The most important thing is that he doesn't have to fight against Li Cheng, a killer star, on the battlefield.

In this way, isn't it beautiful to have national security and folk music?

However, how can I watch Wang Shen and Lu Can alive, so can Yi Jie under the spring close his eyes, and how can I swallow this breath?

A breath of evil surged up in Li Qiong's chest: "Uncle Ping, why did you send Wang Shen and Lu Can to Li Cheng?" In my opinion, there is not a word of truth in the mouth of the surnamed Wang, and I am afraid that he will give birth to Luo again and spoil your great affairs. If you really want to use him, just stay in the army. ”

"Stay in the army? What do you do to stay and vent your anger on the national treasure? Liu Guangshi smiled: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, in case he is really Zhang Deyuan's doorman, if that's the case, everyone's face must not look good, and more things are better than less." When his matter is over, Wang Shenai will go wherever he goes. If he is really from Zhang Xiangmen, he will stay with Li Cheng to contact up and down and communicate left and right. If it is fake, it will naturally be oiled on the soles of the feet. A humble person, a national treasure and a river must be in his heart? ”

Liu Guangshi has no other skills, but he understands people's hearts very well, and he doesn't want to make any trouble for himself.

Hearing him break this point, Li Qiong still needs to talk about it.

Liu Guangshi sat on the rickety saddle and yawned: "National treasure, I have to talk about you one more thing." Since you already know that Li Yu's main force is bypassing Daze, why don't you send reinforcements to Pingyuan Town? It's not that personal grievances can't be talked about, but it depends on the occasion? What a character you are, angry with a dusty villain, and lose your identity! ”

The voice was vague, but it brought to light the fact that he had announced his personal vendetta and delayed the military plane. Li Qiong was embarrassed in her heart. The swarthy face turned slightly red, and he paused for a long time, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say it.

Liu Guangshi smiled: "National treasure, I am just saying, don't worry, the matter will pass." What a friendship between you and me, it's not worth it to be ashamed of this. ”

"Yes, thank you, Captain." Li Qiong bowed her hand slightly, admitting her mistake.

Indeed, as Liu Guangshi said, the Li and Liu families are world friends, and they are both from the Western Army.

At that time, Li Qiong had a close personal relationship with Liu Guangshi's father, Liu Yanqing, the old Liu Taiwei, and he was still Liu Guangshi's uncle.

Liu Guangshi looked at the heavily fortified plain town again, and saw the mighty and majestic Li Chengjun's military appearance, and the whole person relaxed: "The war in Huaibei has finally come to an end at this moment, and I have come here day and night, and my bones are about to shake apart." National treasure, you have been stationed for several months, and I, the commander, have arrived, should you do your best to be a landlord? ”

"Naturally, there are a few famous prostitutes in the city who have been exiled from Tokyo in the city, and the lyrics and songs are excellent, Uncle Ping can go and see them."

Liu Guangshi said with a smile: "If you can see Tokyo Fengyue again, it will be a beautiful thing." A new "Bodhisattva Man" is about to be sung by someone to listen to it, hoping that the famous prostitutes mentioned by the national treasure will not disappoint. ”

Li Qiong smiled and said, "Naturally." ”

************************************************

The Huaixi soldiers were strong and retreated for an hour before leaving.

Li Cheng kept coming back from his side to inform Liu Guangshi's movements. Knowing that after confirming that the Huaixi Army was really retreating, the string that everyone had stretched was relaxed.

Today is the first time Wang Shen has seen the Great Army fighting, and he has single-handedly contributed to Li Cheng's recruitment and the boycott of the two armies. After returning to Plains Town, he has been standing on the lookout. According to real historical records, at the end of this year, the Jurchens were going south to search the mountains to investigate and pursue Zhao Gou. The Jiangnan region, which had never experienced war in the past, is about to become a ruin, and the nation will experience an unprecedented catastrophe. All the armies and all the forces must be used to deal with the future invasion of the Jin Kingdom, but they cannot kill each other.

Li Cheng was able to shake hands with Liu Guangshi and make peace, and he was still very happy in his heart.

Dark clouds began to accumulate overhead, and the weather was going to deteriorate day by day, and the late autumn was coming.

The light dimmed, and Li Chengjun of Pingyuan Town lit the lights one after another, and there were bursts of voices fighting for Jin Duo, and there were patrols walking through the camp.

The town of the plains was not large, and thousands of soldiers were crowded in at once, and the houses were unusable, and tents were erected everywhere and seemed crowded, but the slightest noise could be heard.

was blown by the cold wind in a high place, and Wang Shen's churning heart calmed down. He took it upon himself to promise to take Li Yu's head for Li Cheng today, although Li Cheng also agreed to Liu Guangshi's army to attack Li Yu, but he was still uneasy in his heart.

After calming down for a long time and sorting out his thoughts, Wang Shen went to see Li Cheng.

"But Wang Daosi is here." Walking into Li Cheng's Chinese army, it was different from the serene and quiet here before, the eaves were already full of heavily armed guards, and people were constantly coming in and out, and the iron armor leaves on their bodies were rattling. Li Cheng's cold voice came, and it was no longer gentle and generous as before.

"Exactly down there."

"Come in."

Wang Shen was about to go in when one of the guards stretched out his hand and motioned for Wang Shen to hand over the weapon in his hand.

Li Cheng's Zhongjun Festival Hall is very large, at least two hundred square meters, and there is nothing in it, which looks empty and cold. In the same way, a dozen candles were lit inside, and a small stove was built.

As soon as he entered the hall, Wang Shen felt a cold air rushing to his face, and it was hard to imagine that a few days ago it was still a scorching summer, and the cold weather in Huaibei was coming!

Li Cheng sat in front of the stove wrapped in a big coat. When he saw Wang Shen, he cast a sharp gaze.

Wang Shen had already thought of a countermeasure when he was on the lookout before, and without waiting for Li Cheng to speak first, he took the lead and said: "Heavenly King, today I am in charge of the decision to promise the Heavenly King to be the forerunner of Liu Guangshi, and I also ask for forgiveness." Wang Shen just wanted to say one word. ”

Li Cheng snorted: "Come on." ”

Wang Shen: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly." ”

Li Cheng: "That's it? ”

Wang Shen: "Just this sentence, the next sentence has been said, the king of heaven wants to fight or kill, Wang Shen has no complaints." After speaking, he raised his head, his eyes were blazing and Li Cheng looked at each other, and his expression was extremely determined. He knows that a tycoon like Li Cheng, if you give in to mercy in front of him, maybe you will really be dragged out and killed.

Li Cheng's eyes were also bright and sharp, and the two of them looked at each other in the air, as if they were about to burst into sparks.

"Haha!" After a long time, Li Cheng suddenly let out a loud laugh, which shook the window paper rustling and echoed in the hall.

When his laughter sounded, Wang Shen didn't know what to do, and although he was a little flustered in his heart, he gritted his teeth and straightened his chest.

"Haha, haha, that's a good point, Lao Tzu is sleeping well in Sizhou, and he, Li Yu, is a fly buzzing around on a certain head, and everyone wants to slap him. Don't say that you propose, even if there is no such thing as you and Zhao'an, I have to give Li Yu a little color to see. Li Cheng continued to laugh and said: "You are not my subordinate, and you can't talk about acting on your own, and Lao Tzu's military law can't be applied to you." But ......"

It can be seen that Li Cheng really appreciates himself very much. In fact, it is not surprising that Wang Shen was able to face these tens of thousands of thieves with two hundred crossbowmen, and he held it for four days. If it weren't for the sudden rainstorm in the sky, it would have been a war with zero casualties. This means is already respectable and formidable. Li Cheng's blue eyes and respect for him were killed by Wang Shen with one knife and one shot.

Seeing that Li Cheng agreed to attack Li Yu and did not blame himself, Wang Shen breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard his word "but", his heart tightened: "But what? ”

Li Cheng suddenly put away his smile and shouted: "However, I have three or five thousand soldiers available at hand, and Li Yu can have 100,000 people, and there is a huge disparity between strength and weakness. Wang Shen, tell me, how should this battle be fought? Don't tell me anything, it's just that this kind of loss-making business has never been done. If you don't come up with a charter, our army and the army will not be able to rule you, and you will not be spared. ”

Wang Shen: "What the King of Heaven said is that the grandson of the soldier saint has a cloud: all those who fight, with the right match, with the odd victory." The meaning of this sentence is that when the army is divided into odd soldiers, when the enemy army is engaged with the main army, there is always an extra reserve of surprise troops in ambush. When Cao Cao Cao Mengde commented on Sun Tzu's Art of War, he said: The first to fight together is positive, and the second is to be surprised. ”

He actually talked to Li Cheng about the art of war, of course, what he said was the understanding and explanation of later generations.

"In wartime, the role of the surprise soldier is to surprise and disrupt the enemy's deployment by surprise in battle. If you can directly attack the enemy's army and cut off the enemy's command and communication, this battle will be won/"

"For example, today the king has occupied the Chongdi of Pingyuan Town, thinking that he has already attracted Li Yu's attention, and he is rushing with a large army. The king of heaven led the main force to garrison the old camp in the plains, which is positive. If you can send a light cavalry to intercept Li Yu halfway, it will be a surprise soldier. If you are surprised, you will be able to do your best. ”

Li Cheng snorted: "Yutu." ”

Wang Shen hurriedly found out the map of Sizhou on the big case and spread it at Li Cheng's feet.

To be honest, the maps of the ancients are really sloppy and the scale is not correct, but the general mountains and rivers can still be seen.

Li Cheng suddenly pulled out the waist knife placed next to him, pointed to the map, and said coldly: "Wang Shen, you are also a person who knows the soldiers, look at this situation, how can it be surprising?" ”

Seeing him suddenly draw his knife, Wang Shen was horrified, thinking that Li Cheng was going to make a move, and almost rushed up to fight for life and death.

Seeing this, he hurriedly stopped and fixed his eyes.

The tip of Li Cheng's knife roamed the map: "This is our Pingyuan Town, and the west is blocked by Duliang Mountain. To the north of Pingyuan Town is the Huai River, and to the east is the Hongze Lake. As a result, our army is now confined to a narrow triangle, leaving no room for manoeuvre. Pingyuan Town has been fighting here for several days, and Li Yu's main force is still rolling south. It is conceivable that there must have been a lot of thieves and scouts between Duliang Mountain, Huaishui and Hongze. This line is only about fifty miles wide, and as long as our army moves, no matter how strange it is, it will not be able to escape the eyes of others. You tell me, how can I be surprised? ”

There was confusion in his eyes, and there was sarcasm: "Wang Shen, don't tell me that you want to go east to bypass Hongze Lake, right?" This is hundreds of miles, and by the time you go around, Li Yu has already killed Pingyuan Town, and the daylilies will be cold by then. Wang Daosi, that's right, you are a talent. But you have never led a soldier before. These tens of thousands of people are not fighting against each other, but you take two hundred crossbowmen and set up a formation. ”

Wang Shen suddenly smiled: "Heavenly King, did I say that I wanted to go east around Hongze Lake?" I didn't think about learning from Li Yu, and I couldn't show the means to pick up people's teeth. ”

"No detour?"

"Yes, no." Wang Shen said: "We can go directly through the lake, and there are only a few steps!" ”

"What!" Li Cheng shouted: "Ridiculous! ”
