Before you know it, Kim Wuxi fell. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the darkness once again covered the earth, Mai Zizhong's mood became more and more restless. That sense of foreboding kept coming like a tidal wave. As he grew older and deepened his experience, Mai Zizhong was no longer the reckless boy he was on the battlefield of Goguryeo. To a certain extent, it is also thanks to Li Yanqing.
If it weren't for Li Yanqing, maybe Mai Zizhong would have died in Goguryeo in the ice and snow...... After receiving Yuwen Chengdu's reminder, Mai Zizhong felt that he seemed to have made another huge mistake.
He underestimated Li Yanqing too much!
In fact, it can't be underestimated, to be precise, he greatly appreciates Li Yanqing's talent.
However, because he has controlled the western Guangdong region for several years, he thinks that he knows more about the situation in western Guangdong, rather than that Li Yanqing is not familiar with the place where he lives. has such a huge advantage, which also makes Mai Zizhong ignore Li Yanqing's own ability.
In his mind, even if the black slang occupied Qinzhou, was it possible to obey Li Yanqing's dispatch?
But now it looks, black slang ...... It seems to have been voted for Li Yanqing!
"Pass the order and speed up the march!"
Mai Zizhong gave another order on the horse, and the soldiers and horses, which were already traveling extremely fast, increased their speed again in an instant.
Slang things, and let the slang people solve it themselves.
Even if you want to help Ning Changzhen, you have to do it under the condition of ensuring the safety of your own nest.
Otherwise, once Yongzhou is lost, he will lose his foothold in Lingnan...... When the time comes, will you cling to Ning Changzhen, or will you take refuge in Feng An? The surname is basically the same, which is equivalent to sending people under the fence. In this way, how can he guarantee Xiao Sui's interests in the Lingnan region?
The Mai family is a loyal martyr.
Since the beginning of the wheat iron rod, he has always been loyal to Sui Yang.
Even if the current Great Sui court in Qiantang is dominated by Empress Dowager Xiao, after all, it is the only bloodline of Emperor Yang of Sui, and it is also the orthodoxy of the Great Sui.
His father, Mai Mengcai, died tragically in the chaos in order to avenge Emperor Yang of Sui.
In Mai Zizhong's life, his loyalty to the Sui Dynasty has never changed.
Even Yu Wenfeng knocked on the side to persuade him, don't admit death. But if you don't admit death, are you still a descendant of the Mai family?
Mai Zizhong, there is no choice.
"My lord, do you want to give everyone a break?"
A military general urged the horse forward and whispered beside Mai Zizhong: "The sons and daughters have been marching for a long time, but they have not been able to rest well.
If you rush like this, even if you return to Xuanhua, it will be embarrassing and useful......"
Yes, after leaving Xuanhua, he marched for a day and night. After just resting for two hours, I got the news that Xuanhua was in danger. Mai Zizhong had to immediately light up his troops and horses and embark on the way back. In comparison, the soldiers only rested for three or four hours during the three days of this back and forth...... Such a series of rushes has a considerable impact on morale.
Mai Zizhong didn't know this truth, but he couldn't help but harden his heart.
He has a lot of confidence in the soldiers he has trained. If you want to hold on a little longer, it shouldn't be a problem.
"It's not that a certain family is ruthless, it's really forced by the situation.
Tong Huan sent a letter saying that there were rebels around Xuanhua...... But they probably haven't had time to do it yet, so we'll have to speed it up. As long as we return to Xuanhua, even if the rebels have the intention to attack the city, they will have scruples.
For a certain family, the war that can be avoided is still avoided as much as possible.
This place is only two or three hours away from Xuanhua. If the children rest, I am afraid that they will move more slowly.
Pass the order down, let the sons and daughters work harder...... After returning to Xuanhua, let's rest again. ”
The generals were not able to persuade again, so they had to pass on orders.
Looking at the tired appearance of the soldiers, Mai Zizhong himself felt a little unbearable.
Tzu is not in charge of the army.
It seems that his heart is still not hard enough.
The army marched in the darkness of the night.
But the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and it was on the move, and it suddenly began to drizzle.
The spring rain was still cold, and it became more difficult for the soldiers to march through the rain. In particular, the roads in western Guangdong look particularly muddy after the rain. Many chariots and horses fell on the way, and many soldiers fell to the ground as they marched.
"My lord, you can't rush like this anymore!"
The generals under his command persuaded one after another, and Mai Zizhong couldn't help but hesitate.
"My lord, anyway, we are not far from Xuanhua now, and even if the rebels take action, they can be informed as soon as possible.
Besides, aren't there still some soldiers and horses in the city?
The child soldier Cao stayed in the city, and if the rebels wanted to attack Xuanhua, it was impossible to do it overnight. ”
Mai Zizhong thought about it and felt that this seemed to make sense.
"In that case, tell the heralds to find a shelter from the rain and rest for a while.
The rain won't last long, so wait until the rain stops before you set off...... By the way, the baggage on the baggage cart is gathered in one place first, and some people are left to guard it. After returning to Xuanhua City, just send someone over to pick it up. ”
With such a muddy road and many heavy vehicles, it is indeed difficult to speed up.
Anyway, it's not too far from Xuanhua, and there are not too many problems if you leave some people to guard it.
As soon as the order was handed down, the soldiers and horses immediately stopped marching. However, many soldiers did not even look for shelter from the rain, but directly put their shields under them and sat on the muddy ground. It looks like everyone is really tired! Mai Zizhong shook his head and sighed helplessly. In his heart, he had to admire Li Yanqing's methods...... It didn't take a single soldier to mobilize himself so badly. Fortunately, it was the eldest brother Yuwen Chengdu who was in Xuanhua and saw through Li Yanqing's tricks. Otherwise, not only will you lose your nest, but your own soldiers will also collapse if you don't get it right.
After all, most of the soldiers in Xuanhua were recruited from the local area.
If Li Yanqing really occupies Xuanhua, the consequences will be really unimaginable.
"Don't sit in the rain and find shelter...... In addition, be vigilant, and do not create a sneak attack by thieves. ”
Li Yanqing is good at using strange soldiers, and Mai Zizhong has to guard against it.
He personally led people to urge the soldiers to take shelter from the rain. But after being busy for most of the day, the rain showed no sign of stopping, but became heavier and heavier.
Many of the soldiers lay down in their clothes, and fell asleep by the roadside.
Even Mai Zizhong felt very tired, and after confirming that everyone was fine, he also found a dry place, leaned against a stone, rested the horse lance on his lap, and closed his eyes to recuperate. To be honest, Mai Zizhong is also tired, but he is the coach, and at such times, he must maintain his strong energy to boost the morale of his sons. Now, not far from home, the string that had been tight in his heart was loosened, and Mai Zizhong also relaxed......―――――――――――――――――――――――――― "Childe, just got the scout's report, the Sui army stopped marching and is resting under the Zuoshui Ridge thirty miles away. ”
The sudden rain also surprised Li Yanqing's expectations.
The weather in western Guangdong is like this, it is impossible to fathom when it is said to change.
As the saying goes: those who are great generals need tomorrow's image.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is also a saying that Kong Ming borrowed the east wind...... Hehe, it's just that it's a novel deduction, and it's too far from the truth.
Ordinary celestial phenomena, Li Yanqing can see one or two.
It's just that this celestial phenomenon in western Guangdong...... "Mai Zizhong stopped marching?" ”
After Li Yanqing was stunned for a moment, he immediately understood.
"This rain is really coming!"
Just now he was still cursing the rain at the wrong time, but in the blink of an eye, he changed his words.
"Why did the prince say this?"
Tong Huan couldn't help but ask curiously.
Li Yanqing held the battlement with his hand and raised his eyes to look into the dark distance.
"Mai Zizhong, slack!"
"Huh?"
"After three consecutive marches, for the Sui army, it has reached a state of extreme fatigue.
Originally, if he gritted his teeth and insisted, after arriving in Xuanhua, he would not have to have another vicious battle...... But he took this break. ”
Tong Huan felt more and more confused.
Isn't it good to rest?
After this period of rest, the Sui army could not be more energetic.
But listening to Li Yanqing's words...... "Lao Tong, you have never led a soldier, so you don't have this kind of experience."
The more tired you are, the more you can't rest. If he waved his troops straight down and attacked Xuanhua after arriving in Xuanhua, there would definitely be a fierce battle. You think, the families of those soldiers are in the city, how can the sons and daughters not attack desperately?
But with this rest, the body will become more and more tired. The spirits of the sons may be able to recover somewhat, but this morale ...... Hey, old wheat is slack!
He felt like he was going home soon, so he didn't need to be nervous...... As everyone knows, it's easy to relax, but it will become very difficult to get nervous. ”
Tong Huan didn't seem to understand, but he generally understood that Mai Zizhong stopped moving, and it would be beneficial to him and harmless.
"Immediately ordered Luo Yi to advance twenty miles forward from the Black Slang Division.
At the same time, 100 people were ordered to implement the second plan...... Hehe, I can't talk about this battle, we can solve the battle without blood. ”
