Chapter 147: The Battle of Lingchuan (1)
There is a trend of chickens flying and dogs jumping outside the city, but Lu Xun is a triumphant song all the way, and he has connected seven cities in two days, at this time, you can see how big the energy of the Lu family is, the people's hearts have been attached for a long time, and the renegade city is all looking at the wind, and the two Yang and Li families are either attacking, or coercing, or luring, and after several hard efforts to win the city, in the blink of an eye, thirty percent of it fell back into the Lu family's pocket. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As for the agreement with the Yang family, Lu Xun had long forgotten about it, and Jiang Yun was on the front line, she didn't bother to worry about that idleness at all, wherever she passed, whether it was the Yang family or the Li family, whenever she saw the city, she would accept it first.
At this moment, 20,000 troops are slowly marching on the official road, and the front of the army is directly aimed at Lingchuan City.
Since there was no war along the way, Lu Xun's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and she specially found a carriage, sat in the car, held a scroll, and read it carefully. The reading of the march's leisure is also quite meaningful.
Beside her, a woman in red sat reclining on the edge of the bed, she was in her twenties, her eyes were bright, and her face was facing the sky. This woman's name is Su Tong, and she is the daughter of the Su family in Wangqiu City. When the coalition troops came to the city, it was when Lian Haoran rebelled and Yuecheng fell. Faced with the chaotic situation, Su Yaoyang, the patriarch of the Su family, almost did not hesitate at all, and decisively surrendered to Li Shanxiancheng.
It was precisely because of this attitude that Li Shan misjudged the loyalty of the Su family to the Lu family, and after dropping the sentence "everything is as usual", he continued to raise troops and continue to go north. The Wangqiu Su family was never affected by the war, and all the strength was preserved intact.
After Lu Xun came, Su Yaoyang opened the city gate directly with a more decisive attitude than the surrender that day. But the previous surrender was a fact, but Lu Xun was estranged, and in order to show that his loyalty had not changed, Su Yaoyang asked Su Tong to raise 2,000 troops and go out with Lu Xun.
Although Su Tong has already married, she is not yet pregnant, her temperament has never been settled, and she has been active since she was a child. But she is different from Lu Xun after all, she is playful and active, and has no ability to fight on the battlefield, where can her husband Hui Tianqing rest assured that she will go alone, and hurriedly recommended herself to act as a forward general to escort her daughter-in-law. He was the most important general under Su Yaoyang, and he led the army, and Su Yaoyang was quite relieved in his heart, so he responded with the boat.
In this way, Su Tong went on the road with great interest, but after several cities were taken without blood, her interest gradually faded, and she simply climbed into Lu Xun's carriage and chatted with her to pass the time. How do you know that Lu Xun is also an indifferent person, obviously more interested in the scrolls in his hand, Su Tong was bored, looked out of the window boredly, his eyes were empty, and his soul didn't know where to go.
After reading the book for a long time, his eyes were a little sour, Lu Xun reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, closed the scroll in his hand, and then looked at Su Tong and asked, "Sister Su, what do you want?" So fascinating. ”
Su Tong came back to his senses, glanced at her, and said, "I miss you." ”
"Huh."
"Why is your heart so big?" Su Tong moved his buttocks, sat up straight and looked at Lu Xun, and asked curiously, "Bo Yan, are you really relieved?" ”
"Huh?"
"You're a good man!" Su Tong said: "He is now a tiger's den in Longtan, with an army of 120,000, and it is scary to think about it." I also really obeyed you, and I gave him 5,000 soldiers and horses? It's pretty much the same for you two for one. Your 5,000 is enough, but his 20,000 is too little. You say that even a fraction of the people is not enough, how can you stop the coalition forces? Once Moxian City misses, the coalition army will be able to reach Yuecheng in less than three days, and if you want me to say, the front-line army must prepare at least 60,000 before it has a chance to fight. ”
"I don't need it." Lu Xun smiled lightly: "My husband doesn't know how to command the troops, the marching array is purely a layman, the five thousand soldiers and horses are led by Wang Jie, with his ability, five thousand is the limit, and it is useless to give more." What's more, where did I get the 60,000 soldiers and horses now? It's not that you don't know about the rebellion of the family, and besides, not long after the incident, I can't be sure if there are still fish that have slipped through the net, and it is impossible for Yuecheng not to stay in the army. Being able to bring out 25,000 military horses is already the limit. ”
"And you're going to let him pass? Aren't you worried? Just let Wang Jie go, what's the use of him going. ”
"What is there to worry about." Lu Xun shook his head and said: "You don't know that person, the upper lip is against the sky, and the lower lip touches the ground, the sky is falling, and he can hold it with one mouth." ”
Su Tong laughed and said, "How can anyone describe their own man like that." One mouth holds the heavens and the earth, and the face is closed. ”
"He doesn't have a face at all! But if he wants to have some face, this thing will be really difficult to handle. Lu Xun withdrew his smile, looked out the window calmly, and said to himself: "Mo Xiancheng is absolutely wrong, the only thing that is uncertain is that he can hold the coalition army for me for a few days." If the lost territory cannot be recovered as soon as possible, Shuibei will not be able to fight the coalition forces in the end. ”
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed outside the window, Lu Xun's eyes froze, and she quickly took out a thick cotton-inlaid leather case from her side, stretched her entire right arm in, she opened the curtain and reached out, waited for a while, and then shrank back again. On the holster, there seemed to be a golden-eyed peregrine falcon standing, pecking at the feathers on its wings, and suddenly looked up at Lu Xun again, and after the bird's head swung slightly, it closed its eyes and fell asleep.
"What a handsome bird." Su Tong exclaimed excitedly, "Is this an eagle?" ”
"Long-legged eagle, short-legged falcon. This is the golden-eyed peregrine falcon, the fastest flying falcon. Lu Xun explained, while reaching out to take a note from the falcons' feet, and then shook the falcon that closed its eyes and did not move, regardless of whether it woke up or not, and threw it directly out of the window.
"Is this a letter? Bo Yan, you can't hide your secrets, you have to teach me how to tame a falcon, which is much more interesting than a carrier pigeon. ”
Teach? Lu Xun couldn't help muttering to herself, she still wants to learn! Peregrine falcons are birds of prey, and they have basically no natural predators in Yizhou, and they fly extremely fast, making it difficult for non-marksmen to shoot. It is used to transmit information, both efficiently and safely, much higher than carrier pigeons. Even Jiang Yun once said that the effect of using the golden-eyed peregrine falcon to deliver news is second only to the "hand chicken", and she has seen the rooster and the hen, but what is this "hand chicken", let her be entangled for a long time, Jiang Yun couldn't explain it.
If you want to train a peregrine falcon to hunt, it is not difficult to send messages, most of the hunters in the mountains and the mountains do, and the real difficulty lies in how to limit its predatory nature, which has penetrated into the bone marrow from the beginning of its birth, and this nature can not be easily changed by human beings. If this is not done well, the Peregrine Falcon will not be able to be a qualified messenger, otherwise it will hunt on its own if it starves in the belly halfway through. If it fails, it is fine, but once it succeeds, it will gradually realize that it can live well even without humans, and when it reaches such a field, the falcon will float. The key point is that the success rate of peregrine falcons is very high!
Looking at the entire Yizhou, the only person who has the ability to train the peregrine falcon to transmit messages is the protector of the temple, Ling Bing, who specializes in detecting intelligence. It's just that at present, Lu Xun has not yet found a chance to meet him.
Leaving his complicated thoughts behind for a while, Lu Xun twisted the note and glanced at it, then kneaded it up again and stuffed it under the cushion.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Lu Xun said lightly: "Sister Su, aren't you complaining about being bored?" Soon the fun will come to the door. ”
Because the route of the march is just the opposite, the cities that Lu Xun is currently recapturing are the last to be captured by the coalition forces before. The journey was unimpeded, and there were no accidents or signs of rebellion in the previous cities, so the further the alliance army went on, the lower the vigilance of the coalition forces became, and they didn't pay too much attention to the Yang and Li families in those cities, which made Lu Xun go all the way so smoothly. But after the invasion of Shuibei, the place taken by the coalition forces was much more cautious and vigilant, Lu Xun knew that the more accidents would occur in the future, but the news she didn't want to come made her find that the situation was far more tricky than she imagined.
People's hearts, after all, are separated from the belly, if it weren't for Ling Bing's timely news, she would have to suffer a big loss. Now that we know in advance, we naturally have to plan carefully and how to solve these uneasy factors at the lowest cost. (To be continued.) )
