Chapter 299: Traces of the Qin Army
He Cheng was silent for a moment, and said in a muffled voice: "It's not that I have to raise the bar." It's good that you're the commander-in-chief, but at least you have to listen to other people's opinions, as the first lieutenant general of the camp, I can't even have the right to speak. ”
He stood up on the ground, walked to the marching wall chart, and stretched out his hand to gesture: "According to my intentions, our army is alone in the enemy's territory, and it is time to fight steadily for the battalion step by step, cross the Bao River from here, seize Mian County, and then quickly occupy Dingjun Mountain, and finally attack Nanzheng City." In this way, it is a prudent strategy to advance and retreat and defend. If, as General Xie said, if Chen An cut off the back road, and the army of Chengguo comes north to attack again, we will not be able to retreat or leave, and we will die without a place to be buried. ”
There was a whisper below. Xie Ai patiently explained: "As it should be, our army should fight quickly. Long confrontation, Chen An has the aid of Chengguo, he is not afraid at all, he will organize a line of defense, he can fight, if he can't beat him, he will run, take us back and forth in circles, slowly wear me down, and then calmly find an opportunity to fight back, it will be protracted, how is it good! I have thought deeply that as long as I take it by surprise and bypass Dingjun Mountain and go straight to Nanzheng, the enemy soldiers will be at a loss, and the situation will be opened up immediately, and it will not be better than the time-consuming and laborious attack that is slow. ”
He Chengda shook his head, but he didn't agree. The two debated back and forth, but it was difficult to decide. After a stalemate, the evil fire rose in He Cheng's heart, and he immediately sneered: "You are just a fledgling offspring, when it comes to marching and fighting, are you more experienced than me?" And I have been guarding the south for many years, and the people and terrain are more familiar than you, but you are so stubborn! Hmph, General Xie, I'm afraid that you are a little meritorious, or you think very highly of yourself, right? ”
When everyone heard his words, their faces changed a little. Yao Xiang couldn't help but say angrily: "He Cheng! How dare you speak so disrespectfully to the manager! At the moment of the great enemy, it is okay if you can't help each other with one heart, but I am still so narrow-minded, I want to sue you to the lord! ”
The fire in He Cheng's heart was immediately ignited, and he immediately glared at him and vented viciously: "When Lao Tzu followed the lord Shouyang to raise troops, you stinky boys, I'm afraid you haven't even cut off your milk, right?" Now, on what basis do you dare to climb on Lao Tzu's head to show off your might? Damn, if you dare to be so presumptuous in person, Lao Tzu will recognize you, but Lao Tzu's knife will not recognize you! ”
Yao Xiang was furious, stretched out his hand to pick up the big gun, and was about to beckon He Cheng to come out of the tent to fight, how could He Cheng be willing to show weakness, so he grabbed the knife next to him and was about to cut it. Wan Hong's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly grabbed his arm, shouting that he must not do this. Over there, Yang Jiantou also held down the manic Yao Xiang, glaring at the two people involved. Seeing that it was not a problem, the generals rushed up, pulled the two of them apart, and kept persuading each other, the two of them were still struggling with each other, pointing at each other, scolding, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
There was a thud, and there was a loud slap on the table. Everyone was shocked, and couldn't help but pause their movements, looking back in amazement.
Xie Ai's face was pale, and he shouted loudly to order the pro-soldiers to be like this, and in a moment, the pro-soldiers brought a thing, which was the copper festival given by Gao Yue!
"Isn't it child's play that the Lord has given me the general's charm and made me in charge of the military? You should know that the most hated person in the Lord's life is those who ignore military discipline and act recklessly. Now He Cheng and Yao Xiang are insulting each other and making noise like this, not only did they not take the general in their eyes, but they also blasphemed the lord! Now that the runes are here, who dares to stir again? ”
Wan Hong's mind was racing, and he understood that the most important thing at the moment was to stabilize the situation, and then he could discuss other issues. He is not like He Cheng who was carried away by resentment, but he knew very well that once he lost the military, he even fled in defeat, and Gao Yue originally had great hopes, but in the end he was greatly disappointed, so the group of people in the southern camp had to go around without food.
Everyone looked at each other, and He Cheng was also a little hesitant. Wan Hong hurriedly took a few steps forward and knelt down respectfully towards Fu Jie, as if he had met Gao Yue's own deity, Yao Xiang did not dare to slack off, and he was busy bowing. With the two of them taking the lead, everyone quickly prostrated down, and in the end, He Cheng was left to look left and right, and he hurriedly knelt down without saying a word, and the big tent immediately fell silent.
"The last general and He Cheng have violated military discipline and lost their dignity, please punish the general together, even if the last general is beheaded, there will be no complaints!"
Yao Xiang is young and vigorous, and he is still angry at the moment, he puts his heart sideways, and secretly says that even if he is fighting to be corrected on the spot, He Cheng must be dragged together, and he must not be left at ease.
With the mind that he must not have to watch the excitement, Wan Hong hurriedly played a round and said: "...... Checkmate! General Nian Yao, General He, etc., are all first-time offenders in a hurry, and I hope that the general will start from the overall situation, so he will forgive this time, and keep the merit to atone for his crimes. He turned around and deliberately blamed Yao and He loudly, "You two are also confused!" What is the right time now? We can't afford civil strife! Once the provocation is defeated and everything is over, what face will be used to go back? ”
At this time, someone can recognize the general situation and play a round, so as to avoid the uncontrollable situation in time. Xie Ai gratefully bowed his head lightly to Chong Wanhong, first silenced, and waited for everyone to come together to plead for mercy, and then he said a word as a difficult color!
"Ladies and gentlemen, Han Junhou is in the north, he is well-known, and he has always been our role model, so I don't need to go into details. It is said that Hu Yuanjun runs Yongzhou, which is also a great achievement, and the people are strong and the army is strong, which is obvious to all. and General Fan, who is now succeeding Xiazhou, is also full of ambition and left. The predecessors and heroes are still working so hard, but we are in the south, but we are so willful and selfish, do we have to wait for the lord to be angry and severely punish us one by one, and then regret it? Can't you work hard and work together to make a career? Xie sincerely pleaded, please give me a helping hand and do the errand in Liangzhou first, okay! ”
Saying this, Xie Ai strode down, stretched out his hand, helped He Cheng up, and held his arm tightly. He Cheng met Xie Ai's earnest gaze, his heart was complicated and indescribable, and he couldn't help but turn his head away and sigh heavily.
On the second day, the Qin army camp began to cut down trees and repair fortifications, and it seemed that there was a long-term plan to garrison, and at the same time, there were threats to wait here for Qinzhou to send another army to respond, and to observe and appease the people's feelings on the spot. When Chen An heard that Xie Ai, the commander of the Qin army, he was just an unknown scholar, and he felt that his self-esteem had been trampled on, so he was very angry, thinking that Gao Yue sent such an unknown person to deal with him, which was a contempt and insult to himself. At that moment, he gathered enough strength to kill Xie An in one fell swoop and give Gao Yue a head drink. When he heard that Xie Ai only camped and did not dare to fight, Chen An became more and more happy, so he ordered the whole army to prepare and attack the Qin camp when he gave the order.
After another five or six days, the Qin army camp remained in place, except for occasional drums with orders, and I don't know what kind of fame it was doing. At night, after sufficient preparations, Chen An suddenly led his army across the Bao River and attacked fiercely. But after a lot of noise, I was stunned to find that countless camp tents stood neatly and silently, but tens of thousands of Qin troops seemed to disappear out of thin air, and the entire huge Qin camp was already an empty camp for a long time!
Not a single living man, not a single living horse. The whole army seemed to be flying away, or running away. Chen An was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Everyone else looked at each other, all of them were pestled there like wooden stakes, and they were speechless for a long time. After a while, a pro-soldier hurriedly ran over: "General, general! Please come and have a look......"
Chen An didn't have time to think about it, so he urged his mount to follow his own soldiers, and everyone behind him ran in the same direction, all wanting to see what was going on.
When they arrived at a tent in the camp, they were amazed to find that there was a goat, whose mouth was tightly tied with strips of cloth and could not make a sound, fixed its body and tied its front hooves, and set it up on a cowhide drum. It turned out that in the past few days, the occasional drumming sound in the Qin camp was made by this sheep, and it turned out that in the past few days, it was only a sheep that confronted Chen An's army!
The sheep was tired, hungry, and exhausted, and when he saw the sudden arrival of so many people, he was frightened and frightened, but he wanted someone to come to his rescue, and he could not help humming desperately in his throat, and when his front hooves twitched, he beat the drum again. The sound of the drum came into Chen An's ears, as if he was mercilessly mocking him, Chen An was ashamed and angry, jumped off the horse, and couldn't help but say that he stabbed viciously, and immediately cut off the head of the unlucky sheep, and the blood spurted instantly, causing the surrounding onlookers to let out a low exclamation.
The mastermind Zhao Zhao was also panicked, but seeing that the Qin camp was in good order, everything was not wasted, and he hurriedly said to Chen Anyan that he could quietly take away tens of thousands of Qin troops under their noses without revealing half of the flaws, and the commander of the Qin army, Xie Ai, must not be an idle person, and now he must quickly figure out the movements of the Qin army, and at the same time, he should immediately return to Mian County, the northern gateway of South Zhengcheng.
When Chen Anzheng was confused, Xie Ai had personally led an army of 30,000 to the west and arrived at Liuba. Jiang Chong'er, the general who stayed behind the dam, didn't know the details of the Qin army that came suddenly, and hurriedly flew to report to Chen An, while being on guard.
Xie Ai did not attack during the day, but ordered the local towns and villages to wait, and at such and such a moment, they must each raise torches accordingly. Any village that does not carry torches is Chen An's dead party, and they will all be attacked and killed in the coming day, and all the women will be rewarded to the soldiers for slavery and property. So the villagers were afraid, and coupled with the solicitation and incitement of the Yang family in Wudu, they were willing to follow Xie Ai's instructions, and even if they had doubts, they had to raise torches, so at night, hundreds of miles suddenly burst into flames. I don't know the details of the Qin army, Jiang Chong'er is terrified, and the soldiers don't know why, they are very shocked, Xie Ai immediately launched a fierce attack, Chen Anjun slightly resisted and dispersed, Jiang Chong'er was caught off guard and was captured by the Qin soldiers, Xie Ai severely reprimanded, and directly ordered Jiang Chong'er to be killed on the spot, and the head was teleported to Xiangwu.
