Sun Lianghua rushed to Shang Zhen's camp non-stop, slept on the wind and slept along the way, and finally caught up on Huayin Road, Shang Zhen saw him coming, and immediately asked to ask, Sun Lianghua didn't know how Shang Zhen was, but he was very familiar with Tong Linge's personality.

After greetings, the guests and hosts sat down, and Shang Zhen said straight to the point: "How is the situation in Nanluo?" ”

"Returning to my lordship, the people of Luonan eat pot pulp to welcome the king! Everywhere General Sun went, he was swept by the wind. ”

"So, the news of the recovery of Luonan will come in two or three days?"

"So to speak, but adults should also know that Qin Hui still has three good friends, then Lu Zhonglin has a good way of governing the army, although the matter of Luonan is just around the corner, it can't be done overnight!"

Shang Zhen asked some about the customs of this place, and Sun Lianghua also talked about it, and when it came to the proud, he was quite bold.

Shang Zhen couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he saw him talking like this, if this Luonan land was really as easy as he said, if he hadn't fallen into someone else's trap, he was afraid that his trip would be in vain.

Tong Linge on the side stood up and said, "Sun Lianghua, the people of Luonan are so enthusiastic, what about your lord's military discipline?" Did you ever have those stinky problems from the time of the National Army? ”

Sun Lianghua hurriedly said: "Your Excellency should know that Shibei should be impressed by the three days, and now General Sun is a favorite general of the overseer army and a good minister in power." Since he has become a king, he naturally has to look like a king. ”

"I'm just afraid that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change!"

"Adults are too worried, the thickness of the southeast pension is enough to make these people change their nature."

Tong Linge was speechless, this matter involved the issue of pension in the southeast, although he did not believe that treatment could change a person's nature, but this matter involved too many disputes between righteousness and interests, so it could only be stopped here.

"What is Lu Zhonglin's military discipline, tell me what you think!"

"Lu Zhonglin is treacherous and cunning, and he is by no means an easy person. When Feng Yuxiang took away Rehe, others plundered and expanded the army, but he would rather be indiscriminate and strict with military law, but he was not pursued by Feng Yuxiang! Now that the National Army Department is based on him, I don't need to say anything about this military discipline, and adults should know it! ”

Tong Linge said: "I know, but is your General Sun willing to know?" Did you remind him? ”

Sun Lianghua sighed and didn't speak, but his expression said it all.

"Sun Liangcheng has many generals, but he is conceited, how can he be Lu Zhonglin's opponent? General Shang also asked to send troops to Shimen quickly, if it was too late, I was afraid that Sun Liangcheng would be wiped out by the whole army, although it was not a pity for this person to die, but it was a pity for those old brothers. ”

Shang Zhen glanced at Sun Lianghua and said, "General Tong asked me to send troops quickly, what do you think?" ”

Sun Lianghua was a little entangled at this time, with his original intention, he was extremely willing to send troops to Shang Zhen quickly, but the purpose of his coming here was to delay the pace of Shang Zhen's army as much as possible, and buy time for Sun Liangcheng to monopolize the glory of recovering Luonan.

"You also know how Lu Zhonglin is. Now that he has a geographical advantage in Luonan, and has annexed and integrated the remnants of the National Army, it is no longer comparable to the past, do you think that Sun Liangcheng can pacify Lu Zhonglin alone with his ability, General Shang and I are naturally willing to eat and rest in Huayin County here, anyway, even if we don't go, the merit of recovering Luonan will also share our reinforcements! If you go, the loss of the soldiers will not be counted, and the credit is not our family's, so it is better not to go to the comfort! ”

Hearing him say this, Sun Lianghua knew that he was saying the opposite, but he also knew that he was telling the truth. No matter what the merit is, as long as there is a reinforcement deployment, it will definitely be a share of the credit, if not, I am afraid that when I can use others as backup in the future, no one will want to go.

Shang Zhen said: "General Tong trusts General Sun so much, I don't have much to say, after all, taking people is like killing parents, and this beam will be bigger." ”

Sun Lianghua felt a little bad in his heart, just as Tong Linge said, Lu Zhonglin's separation of others is definitely not something that Sun Liangcheng alone has the ability to deal with, unless someone helps him, thinking of this, he took a step forward and said: "The two generals came to help, it is really a blessing for our army, I don't know how the Kong Inspector's side arranged?" ”

"Overseer Kong wants us to go south to inspect the town. and General Sun's stone gate is a rivalry. ”

"In this way, even if we have the heart to rescue General Sun, we are more than willing to do it! Hehe. ”

"In that case, let's do our part." After Shang Zhen finished speaking, he turned his head to Sun Lianghua and said, "Are you familiar with the way to inspect the town?" ”

"Although I haven't been there in person, I have also conducted a detailed investigation, Huayin can reach the inspection town by going south through Anle Township, but this inspection town has been the main road from Luonan to Tongguan since ancient times, it is difficult to get out, and it is even more difficult to come in, I am afraid that the two generals will have a hard trip."

"The military order is like a mountain, no matter whether it is hard or not, we have to go." After Shang Zhen finished speaking, he immediately shouted: "Someone! ”

Sun Lianghua saw that the two of them were no longer entangled in the matter of going south to Shimen, but he couldn't help but have some gains and losses in his heart, and his worries about Sun Liangcheng became more and more serious, he was Sun Liangcheng's brother and confidant, the relationship between the two was extraordinary, if Sun Liangcheng had three long and two short, he was really not good at explaining to the family, and more importantly, without Sun Liangcheng, who would recognize him Sun Lianghua? Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he looked forward to Tong Linge and others sending troops to Shimen to receive reinforcements.

"In!"

"Please Lord Sun go down and rest, so that you can serve your life and not be embarrassed!"

"Yes, General!"

Sun Lianghua saw that Shang Zhen gave an eviction order, so he had to retreat with a wry smile, who knew that at this moment, a man covered in blood and dust ran in outside, and the guard Ma Ben outside didn't stop him, this man saw Shang Zhen and others. He knelt down with a bang, tearing and shouting crying: "The stone gate of Kong Overseer's army is surrounded, and I hope that the two generals will quickly send reinforcements to rescue." ”

"What!"

Sun Lianghua was taken aback, he was really afraid of something, which pot was not opened, which pot was not opened, and Sun Liangcheng still had an accident.

"Who are you, how dare you trespass?"

"The two generals of Qiqi, their subordinates are the commanders of the special agent battalion of the guard regiment under the account of Kong Dujun, the situation is critical, and I hope that the two adults will send reinforcements as soon as possible!" Saying that, he tilted his body to the side, fell to the ground with a bang, and couldn't get up anymore, Ma Ben behind Shang Zhen looked over, shook his head helplessly, and said to Shang Zhen: "My lord, this brother has ...... It's gone! ”

"Carry it down, so that it can be buried."

Shang Zhen said sadly. Sun Lianghua couldn't calm down in his heart at this time, and knelt down in front of Shang Zhen and Tong Linge, and said: "The matter has come to this point, I hope that the two generals will send reinforcements quickly to relieve the danger of Kong Supervisor and General Sun!" ”

Tong Linge sighed, stretched out his hand to help Sun Lianghua up, and said, "Don't forget your orders, we are naturally responsible for the rescue!" ”

After the meal, Shang Zhen's army quickly pulled out, went south to Shimen, and there were many scattered soldiers along the way, after asking, Shang Zhen was unconsciously emotional, but it turned out that after Sun Liangcheng captured Shimen, he found a secretary and asked him to send a congratulatory telegram to Kong Geng, this Kong Geng received the news of Sun Liangcheng's merit of Shimen, he was overjoyed, and marched quickly, and waited until Shimen, the color building was bright, the lanterns were bright, and the old squire painted a gourd to entertain Kong Geng warmly, but Kong Geng was very strict with himself, after the reception, He did not accept the request of the old squires to find two girls to help him warm up, but only told them to prepare more bedding and, as for the place to stay, there were no special requirements, just to stay in the army. After the squires retreated, Kong Geng found Sun Liangcheng's secretary to ask Sun Liangcheng about the whereabouts of his department, and the secretary lied that Sun Liangcheng continued to go south and besieged Chengguan Town, leaving only a few troops to entertain Kong Supervisor's army.

In the middle of the night, Lu Zhonglin's army quickly sneaked attack, Kong Geng's army was caught off guard, a battle down, almost the whole line collapsed, Kong Geng saw that there was no hope of breaking through, so he had to send people to Sun Liangcheng and Shang Zhen for help.

asked clearly about the cause and effect, Shang Zhen sighed, this Kong Geng is also a veteran oil, from the Xinhai year to the present, the days of leading troops to fight cannot be said to be short, I can't imagine that he also capsized in a small ditch, and was attacked by someone in Shimen and suffered heavy losses, which is really a pity.

"The stone gate of the Kong Inspector's army has failed, and General Sun has become a lone army, and he is in danger of being flanked by the enemy before and after!"

Shang Zhen said: "This is natural. As he spoke, he glanced back at Tong Linge, saw that his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to have something to say, so he immediately rode over, and the two found a secluded place, and said: "General Tong, who is my Shang Zhen, after so many days of contact, you should also know, if you have anything to say, you might as well just say it." ”

Tong Linge said: "The defeat of the Kong Overseer Army Shimen is very strange! If no one eats inside and outside, and lets the new army enter Shimen, even if the Kong Overseer army is defeated, the rout army should not be so sparse and unorganized. ”

When Shang Zhen heard him say this, he became suspicious unconsciously, and asked those remnant soldiers, these remnants only knew that they were defeated, as for how they were defeated, except for the sneak attack, they couldn't say anything else, but there were some things that the soldiers didn't know clearly, but Shang Zhen, these senior officers, were able to see the subtleties and deduce unusual things from their words.

"Brother, it seems that this matter is really for you to say, Kong Geng's army was defeated and defeated, and it is definitely not something that can be summed up in two words: sneak attack."

"If my guess is not bad, this matter should be on Sun Liangcheng, the so-called bell must be tied to the bell, the key to the matter of Shimen falls on Sun Liangcheng, if he votes for the Restoration Army, the matter of Shimen will be easy to say, if he does not defect to the Restoration Army, I am afraid that the matter of Shimen will be difficult to do."

"My brother has analyzed it thoroughly, and it seems that he has made up his mind, and I hope that my brother will give me advice!"

"The general's words are serious, for the sake of today's plan, the general should slow down. Send out spies to find out what is going on, and they're deliberating! ”

"But Kong Overseer's army is now trapped in Shimen, if it is delayed, I am afraid that some people will say that we will sit and watch the success or failure and see the death and not save it!"

"In that case......"

Shang Zhen hurriedly leaned over and listened to the past, Tong Linge immediately expressed his opinion, Shang Zhen nodded unconsciously when he heard this, and said: "Brother's clever plan, this is the best way to do this!" ”

The two discussed, Shang Zhen called Sun Lianghua and asked him to stay to recruit the defeated soldiers, Sun Lianghua was concerned about Sun Liangcheng's safety, so he was naturally reluctant to stay, so he had to say: "The general confessed, the humble post should naturally stay, but this is going to Shimen, the general is in need of a guide, and the humble duty is unshirkable. ”

Shang Zhen nodded and said to Tong Linge: "What this person said also has some truth, there are few division commanders and brigade commanders in the rout, and it is not something he can deal with, but there are highly respected people in our army, I think about it, there is only General Tong, I don't know what General Tong wants?" ”

"This ......" Tong Linge thought for a moment and said: "If the general insists on this, he will have no choice but to obey his orders respectfully, but he ......"

"Then let's do it!" Shang Zhen said: "Just in case, I'll leave a group of elites at your disposal." ”

"That's fine!"

Tong Lin Pavilion flowed down like this, and then Shang Zhen marched into Shimen, but it was too peaceful along the way, and when he arrived at Shimen, it was already evening, the color building outside the town was still bright, and even the gun hole was not left, and the lanterns hung high were still flashing a little light, but they could see that they had just been replaced, several old squires came to Shang Zhen's side with a sad face, no longer enthusiastic, but also welcomed him, Shang Zhen saw their expressions so heavy, and thought that Kong Geng had died in battle, and asked, Only then did I know that Kong Overseer was not killed in battle, at least there was no Kong Geng in the corpse.

Shang Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, although Kong Geng was not pleasing to the eye, but he was the boss, if he had three long and two short, he was afraid that he would not be exempt from responsibility. As long as he is alive, he will naturally have everything to say, and after asking Kong Geng, the next thing is the situation of the Restoration Army.

According to these old squires, after these new troops attacked Shimen, they kept biting the remnants of Kong Geng and went to Maping Town in the west.

"My lord, Namaping Town is known as six mountains, three rivers and one field, Kong Geng went there, and it was not easy for the Restoration Army to embarrass Kong Geng."

"How far is it from here to Maping Town?"

"Lord Qiqi, the two towns seem not to be far away, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, when the weather is good, go back and forth for more than two hours, if it is late today, the general comes from afar, all the way to the car and horses, tired, tired, or have a good rest, to go west tomorrow as soon as possible, is it inconvenient? If the general is worried about the Kong army, there is no need, now the central army is moving south, the new army is weak, and can only defend according to the danger, although the Kong army has suffered a heavy defeat, but has escaped the danger, those people can't hit a blow, they will never stay, they must have returned to Luonan County. ”

Shang Zhen saw that what he said was reasonable, and when he saw that it was getting late, the brothers were so embarrassed that they couldn't afford to go west, so they had to ask the squires to arrange a place for the brothers to set up camp.

This matter is really familiar to the old squire, and after a while, he found a place for Shang Zhen and others to set up camp, this place is not the place where Sun Liangcheng was stationed, nor is it the military camp of Kong Gengjun, but it is really a separate place, this is Lu Zhonglin's explanation, as long as everything is done too much, there will naturally be more flaws, don't look at Sun Liangcheng, Kong Geng was beaten in a trap, don't look at the squires who are familiar with things, but who knows which soldiers will leave clues, Let Shang Zhen perceive something, but it will fall short.

"There are a few gentlemen, but this place is not where the Kong army is stationed!"

"The garrison of Kong Dujun's army is the barracks assigned to General Sun, but it's a pity that that the place was attacked by Wen Chenglie's department, and the losses were heavy, and it couldn't be cleaned up in a while.

Shang Zhen said: "In this way, there will be a few old gentlemen to lead the way." ”

"The general ordered, the old man and the others naturally did not dare to slack off, but the general was tired of carriage and horses, and it was hard to come from afar, so it was not too late to have dinner and drink some hot food."

"Then there are a few old gentlemen who have to break the bank."

The meal is just ordinary fish and meat, but it is better than the portion, there is a lot of oil and water, but what is surprising is that there is still a little wine to serve, originally Shang Zhen did not want to drink, but the old squires were enthusiastic, Shang Zhen was also disrespectful, after the wine and food, the old squires still proposed that the weather was cold and cold, the general was alone or could not sleep well, and it was good to find two girls to warm up.

When Shang Zhen heard this, he said: "This matter must not be done, the kindness of several old gentlemen, Shang Zhen has it, but the family has a family law, the army has a military law, Shang Zhen still made a mistake when drinking, this woman's matter is absolutely unacceptable!" ”

When the squires saw him like this, they had no choice but to give up, and the ox could be forced to press his head if he didn't drink water, but who would dare to say no to these warlords and soldiers?

After seeing the shattered battlefield, the corpses had obviously been disposed of by the squires, but there was still a strange atmosphere, and the timid people did not dare to approach at all, which showed the tragedy and tragedy of the battle that day.

"Kong Inspector Jun didn't expect that the Restoration Army would suddenly attack, so that it suffered heavy losses, a lesson from the past, a division of the future, and General Shang could keep enough manpower."

"According to the old gentleman's meaning, it seems that this new army will still come to sneak attack! Anyway, when the Restoration Army comes, the old gentleman might as well "

As soon as these words came out, the old squire almost fainted with fright, glanced at him, and said, "My lord, this is serious, and this is not what old decay means. The old man just thinks that the people in the town know the overall situation and want to return to the government, if it comes out like this again, it means that the ruling does not mind, and the people of the village will definitely not have the intention of returning to the government. ”

"Hehe, I'm talking about playing, and it's really a sin to scare the old gentleman." Shang Zhen said with a smile.

Coming back from the battlefield, he finally knew in his heart why Tong Linge would question it after seeing those defeated soldiers, recalling what the old man said just now, it seems that the matter in Shimen Town is not simple.

"You have a mind, don't I have an arrangement? Let's see who laughs at the end! ”
