Chapter Forty-Six: Qiuling Mountain
Qiuling Mountain is located at the junction of the two states of Lilang, and the peaks rise from the ground, and they are connected as one, like a giant dragon winding and circling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The mountains are full of trees, green bamboos, and steep cliffs, and the whole mountain peak looks both vibrant and majestic.
Luoyun Peak is the most well-known mountain peak for the people of Lilang and Lilang, and the official road leading to the two places is close to this peak. In the past, many people would come to Luoyun Peak to play and climb high and look far away. But since there was a group of mountain thieves who fell into the grass here, people no longer dared to come, and even when they passed by this peak, they were all terrified!
There is only one trail that leads to the top of Falling Cloud Peak, and there is no other way! The bandits are guarding the dangerous road, and they are really a man and a man! It is precisely because of this that the reserve troops of the two states of Lilang attacked several times, but they all returned in vain.
How can bandits, who have such terrain advantages, attack? This problem really stumped Wen Bin and others! Not far from the official road, there is an open space, at this time the figures are longing and the people are shouting and neighing.
Soon after Wen Bin and the others arrived at Qiuling Mountain, they met Captain Zheng of the forbidden army, and under the leadership of the latter, everyone came to this open space. As soon as he arrived, Wen Bin immediately turned over and dismounted, and looked around by the moonlight, and could faintly see the black and oppressive woods.
At this time, Wen Bin turned to face Captain Zheng and said with a smile: "It's good here!" High to the sun, with a wide view, more than a stone's throw from the woods. Captain Zheng's choice of station seems to have been well thought out. Well chosen! ā
As soon as these words came out, Captain Zheng and General Huang Lang were quite surprised, in their hearts, they had always thought that Wenhou was a civilian official, but they did not expect that they would have such insight into military affairs. Suddenly, their perception of Wenhou changed a lot.
"Thank you Wenhou for the compliment! The last general is ashamed! The last general didn't expect that Wenhou was also so familiar with military affairs! ā
"Acquaintance? Forget it! Ben Hou grew up in the palace since he was a child, and was the companion of the four princes, in addition to learning the subset of scriptures and history, he also dabbled in many military strategies, but they were all just on paper! Nothing! Wen Bin waved his hand and said very modestly.
"Wenhou, both civil and military, is really the pillar of the country! A certain will admire! For what Wen Bin said, Zheng Xiaowei disagreed a little, and after the former finished speaking, Zheng Xiaowei hurriedly said.
"Both civil and military? Where's the text? Where is Wu? Captain Zheng praised it falsely! Wen Bin's face turned a little red, but fortunately it was late at night and he was not seen by the two opposite.
Captain Zheng stood up straight, showed admiration on his face, and said sincerely: "Since Wenhou arrived in Lizhou, various disaster relief measures have been introduced continuously, and the last general feels extremely impressed. Today, when he suddenly heard about the military situation, Wenhou was calm and calm, and issued various military orders in an orderly manner, and the general was like listening to orders in front of the tent! Both civil and military, Wenhou deserves it! ā
As soon as these words were said, not only Wen Bin was stunned, but even Huang Lang Jiang couldn't help but glance at Wen Bin more, feeling a little incredible.
At this time, Wen Bin felt that his face was hot, and he twisted his body unnaturally, and then said: "What Captain Zheng said, Ben Hou is really ashamed!" By the way, Captain Zheng is one step ahead, what do you find here? ā
In the following time, Zheng Xiaowei told Wen Bin and Huang Lang General everything he saw and heard, and when he talked about the sadness, several people showed sadness on their faces.
When Captain Zheng led the soldiers of the forbidden army to Qiuling Mountain, the battle was already over! The officers and soldiers, led by the messenger soldiers, went straight to the battlefield, and when they arrived, the scene in front of them made everyone cry.
More than 20 soldiers lay everywhere, and without going up to check, you can know that these soldiers have returned to their hometown! The warriors lay there quietly, and every now and then drops of blood dripped from the wounds and pooled into pools of blood beneath them.
The most infuriating thing is that the bodies of these soldiers have obviously been moved, and all the leather armor on their bodies has been stripped away. Bows and arrows, quivers, spears, and horizontal knives are all gone!
In extreme anger, Captain Zheng clenched his fists, eager to rush to Luoyun Peak immediately, and fight to the death with that group of bandits! However, after all, Captain Zheng was the person in charge, so he couldn't be rash, and he took several deep breaths before he opened his mouth to give the order.
Twenty soldiers were responsible for burying the dead, and the rest of the people, led by Captain Zheng, searched in groups of three and searched around. It didn't take long for the food to be found.
At this time, it is no longer accurate to say that it is disaster relief food. Because the grain was all ashes, it was burned by the bandits with a fire! However, according to the car marks at the scene, a small part of the grain was still transported along the trail to the foot of Luoyun Peak.
Speaking of this, Captain Zheng's body shook, and anyone could feel anger and sadness from him. After a while, Captain Zheng continued: "After the last general arrived at Qiuling Mountain, he immediately sent a soldier to Langzhou with Wenhou's letter. If nothing else, tomorrow, the Langzhou garrison will be able to arrive at Qiuling Mountain! ā
"Good! Captain Zheng has worked hard! After hearing this, Wen Bin first nodded, and then reached out and patted Captain Zheng's shoulder to show comfort.
"Cash-for-work is a very good method! Now Changyun County is in urgent need of this batch of grain, so the last general is in charge of his own affairs, and orders Guan Yong to escort the grain and come with the Langzhou garrison. If there is anything inappropriate, please punish Wen Hou! ā
"What's wrong with that? That's a good idea! It's hard to be Captain Zheng, in such an emergency, you have to consider disaster relief. ā
"There is one more thing that needs to be told to Wenhou! The last general and the soldiers of the Praetorian Army came lightly, without bringing baggage, and just now the last general found that the Praetorian Guards also came lightly. Therefore, I can't camp here tonight, so I have to sleep here. I wonder if Wenhou can get used to it? Captain Zheng lowered his head and said cautiously.
"Haha! It's a march to war! Ben Hou is not so delicate! You can do whatever you want, don't bother about it. Captain Zheng, I'm too worried! Haha......"
As he spoke, Wen Bin laughed, and General Huang Lang and Captain Zheng also chuckled softly, and after the laughter, Captain Zheng continued: "Tomorrow, the Langzhou garrison will come with baggage, and then you can set up camp." Soldiers, don't sleep in the open anymore! ā
"So good! Tonight, I will work hard for you. It's not very safe after all, so you have to be on guard! It's getting late now, and everything will be done tomorrow! ā
"Order!"
"Order!"
One after the other, two voices sounded one after another, and for Wen Bin's order, General Huang Lang and Captain Zheng both agreed deeply.
After that, Captain Zheng turned to face General Huang Lang and said respectfully, "General Huang! For days, the Praetorian Guards have been traveling day and night, and they must have been exhausted. Would it be good to ask the brothers of the Praetorian Guard to rest for a while tonight, and the task of guarding the Praetorian Army will be handed over? ā
"Well, that's fine! After the Praetorian Guard rests, tomorrow we will fight side by side! Wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop! ā
"Good!"
Next, Wen Bin and the others sat down cross-legged and rested for a while, while the soldiers of the forbidden army patrolled around to protect everyone's safety. At this time, Zeng Chen took out a large piece of rice from the package and draped it on Wen Bin's body, fearing that the cold on the mountain would make the latter sick.
Wen Bin tugged at the big gun, looked up at the sky, the bright moon reflected in his eyes, at this moment, he secretly said in his heart: "What should I do?" ā
