Chapter 420: Headache
Seeing He Renlong for the first time, Su Tiancheng didn't show too much surprise.
He Renlong is tall and big, a little lean, looks very flexible, it is estimated that he has been galloping on the battlefield for a long time, and he likes to kill the enemy in person, so it is impossible to be fat.
He Renlong's eyes were a little cold, and it was estimated that there was a depressing factor in this.
Su Tiancheng faced such a look, but it didn't matter, a person who has been licking blood from the knife for a long time can't be exactly the same as a normal person, Ci is not in charge of the army, if he can't make his soldiers in awe, such an officer is difficult to lead the army to win the battle.
He Renlong is different.
The first time he saw Su Tiancheng, he thought he was wrong, the young man in front of him can be described as suave, the young man is a little too much, such a young man should be doing things in the imperial court, a typical scholar, a standard civil official, but he is the commander of the Jiangning battalion guard.
In the imperial court, he has always been a noble and a lowly martial artist, although He Renlong is a martial artist, but he still has a small difference from Wen Jinshi.
Let's just say that Su Tiancheng, although he is the commander of the Jiangning battalion guard, his important position is still the prefect of Henan Prefecture.
Today's situation is different, if it is in the imperial court, after seeing Su Tiancheng, He Renlong must be well-behaved and respectful, but now it is a war, and it is impossible for scholars to have much effect on the battlefield.
After many years of fighting, He Renlong has some different opinions, he always feels that it is not very suitable for civilian officials to lead the army, of course, civil officials like Sun Chengzong are exceptions, they have been in the north, and Houjin has done it, which can be described as a great achievement.
In an instant, He Renlong was a little suspicious, this Su Tiancheng in front of him. This standard white-faced scholar, could he really lead the Jiangning battalion and win so many battles, isn't it a bit of a boast.
"General He, I have received the letter from Lord Sun. The Jiangning battalion has already begun to act, if it weren't for you, I would have set off, your mission, I have already considered, stationed in Yueyang County. ”
"Yes, the subordinates obey the order, and Lord Sun asks to be subordinate and obey the command of the adult."
"Good. Come here, and I'll tell you about the current situation. ”
Looking at the sand table in the Chinese military tent, He Renlong hesitated, but he couldn't understand the flag marked on it for a while, and after approaching, he looked at it carefully, and realized something.
"This is a sand table dedicated to indicating the movements of the Liukou. According to the information we have, Zhang Xianzhong led 50,000 rogues. It has been three days since he set off from Jizhou, and his specific whereabouts are still in the process of investigation, and the white flag on it indicates three directions, and Zhang Xianzhong may take three routes. The red flag is the route of the Jiangning battalion, you can see for yourself, if there is anything you don't understand, you will say it later. ”
After saying this, Su Tiancheng walked out of the Chinese military tent on his stomach. Let He Renlong ponder the sand table alone, he also wants to test it, since He Renlong is a martial artist, he must have some skills, and he should understand the content on the sand table.
As for the movements of the Jiang Ning battalion, there is no need to conceal He Renlong, such a thing must not be done, this is a distrust of others, and it is also an insult to colleagues who fought together on the battlefield.
A few minutes later, Su Tiancheng entered the Zhongjun tent, and He Renlong's face was full of doubts.
"My lord, my subordinates understand something, but there are still some things I don't understand."
"Oh, now that you have understood something, there is one of the most important questions, you can answer it, which route will Zhang Xianzhong choose, and where is he going to attack?"
He Renlong hesitated, of course he was clear about the importance of this issue.
"This, the subordinates didn't think about it carefully, the subordinates felt that it was impossible for Zhang Xianzhong to attack Pingyang Fucheng, it was very likely that he would go to Qinzhou and Zezhou, and the news that the Jiangning battalion was stationed in Yueyang County must have spread out, so it was unlikely that Zhang Xianzhong would choose the Yueyang route, and there were only two lines in the future, and the subordinates really couldn't figure out which route to choose."
"Okay, let's talk about your doubts."
"My lord, my subordinates are mainly about the marching route of the Jiangning battalion, and they have some doubts, the Jiangning battalion did not stick to Yueyang County, it seems that they left Pingyang Mansion and entered Qinzhou, do you think that Zhang Xianzhong will go directly to Qinzhou and attack Qinyang City."
"Zhang Xianzhong will not attack Qinyang, but he will definitely pass through Qinyang, and his purpose is to attack Liaozhou."
"W-this, where did you get the information?"
Su Tiancheng shook his head lightly.
"This is analyzed, relying on the judgment of many soldiers in the Jiangning battalion, you look at the map."
Su Tiancheng opened the white veil that was covering, and a map indicating the marching route of the Jiangning camp appeared in front of He Renlong's eyes.
He Renlong looked at it carefully and was dumbfounded.
"My lord, Jiang Ningying has gone to Wuxiang County, Qinzhou, and my subordinates really don't understand."
"There are a lot of originals in this, it is difficult to explain for a while, Zhang Xianzhong is afraid that he wants to recast brilliance and continue to achieve a big victory in Liaozhou, Jiangning Battalion will set up an ambush in Qiyue Mountain, Wuxiang County, and strive to annihilate Zhang Xianzhong's rogue in this place, you have come to Yueyang County, the task is also very clear, the actions of the Jiangning Battalion must be kept secret, and it must be taken by surprise, so as to ensure the greatest victory, the Jiangning Battalion is located in Yueyang County, if everyone leaves, it may arouse everyone's suspicion, If Zhang Xianzhong learns about the situation, he may also be suspicious, so you should lead 5,000 soldiers to garrison in the camp, and you must make a noise to show that the army is still stationed here. ”
"In addition, you also have to pay attention to the fact that if Zhang Xianzhong really comes to this place in Yueyang County, you need to resist them, and if you can't let them pass through Yueyang County, the Jiangning Battalion will return to defense in the fastest time."
He Renlong heard it in a fog, and he never dreamed that the Jiangning camp would go directly to Qiyue Mountain in Wuxiang County to fortify, which was something that ordinary people did not dare to imagine, and they did not dare to make such a decision.
At that time, no one would have thought that the Liukou actually had the courage to attack the Zhongdu directly, and it was also the Jiangning Battalion that made an accurate judgment and set up an ambush in advance, annihilating the most elite force of the Liukou in one fell swoop.
I can't tell whether it is shock or admiration, He Renlong suddenly felt that his opinion of Su Tiancheng was too superficial, when Su Tiancheng was arranging tactics, he actually thought of Chongzhen for five years, Zhang Xianzhong had won a big victory in Liaozhou, and made a judgment in turn, Zhang Xianzhong would attack Liaozhou.
Taken together, such an analysis does make sense.
Some things, after piercing the window paper, appear particularly clear, but it is rare to see through this layer and make an accurate judgment, and being able to make such a judgment shows that Su Tiancheng is not ordinary.
He understood the task that Su Tiancheng had assigned to him after the last.
"My lord, my subordinates and subordinates are here to fight, not to garrison......"
He Renlong's face was flushed, and his speech was a little unfavorable, he couldn't lose his temper in front of Su Tiancheng, after all, he was directly under Su Tiancheng's control, and he had to obey orders.
"General He, I have already decided on this matter, your task is very clear, stick to the camp in Yueyang County, and keep revealing the news of the disobedience, indicating that the Jiangning battalion will stick to it again, and it must annihilate Zhang Xianzhong's gangster."
Hearing Su Tiancheng's tone, looking at Su Tiancheng's resolute expression, He Renlong was anxious, if he stayed in Yueyang County, this battle would have nothing to do with him.
In a hurry, He Renlong knelt on one knee and saluted Su Tiancheng with his fists.
"My lord, my subordinates implore me to participate in the killing of the enemy, and the sergeants led by my subordinates can be stationed in the camp, and my subordinates petition to be the vanguard, charge ahead, and I implore my lord to give my subordinates a chance."
Su Tiancheng looked at He Renlong and did not help He Renlong up.
"General He, do you think of the fiasco last time, and you have always been a little unconvinced in your heart."
"I beg your Excellency to give your subordinates a chance."
"Zhilu Dao, why did you come to Yueyang County, why did Lord Sun send you over, you need to think carefully, suffer a big loss, and think about getting it back, this mood is understandable, on the battlefield, holding back a breath to kill the enemy, the amount of power that erupts is huge, but you are an officer, commanding tens of thousands of sergeants, you need to consider the overall situation, not a personal happy killing, it is your duty to strategize."
"My lord, my subordinates really can't hold back this breath, I implore you to give your subordinates a chance, and your subordinates petition to be an ordinary sergeant."
Su Tiancheng sighed softly, it seems that Sun Chengzong had expected it and threw this problem to himself.
"General He, I'm just reminding you that there are many opportunities for expeditions in the future, you are now a thousand households, and you may become the commander of the guard and the chief soldier next, you must always understand your identity, so that you can really win the battle, the Liukou calls you He Crazy, which shows that you are indeed brave and good at fighting, so that the Liukou are afraid, but you can't always be like this."
"My subordinates thank you for your teachings, and I will definitely pay attention to it in the future, but this time, not only my subordinates, but also the sergeants led by my subordinates are also holding their breath, and they must fight with the rogues, they have lost too many brothers, and they are unwilling."
Su Tiancheng stood up, he was really a little embarrassed, if He Renlong followed the expedition, his deployment would need to be adjusted, and there must be a part of the sergeants in the Jiangning battalion who would stay in the camp.
In fact, this arrangement is also good, leaving a thousand households in the Jiangning camp to preside over the overall situation here, make the necessary situation, and confuse Zhang Xianzhong.
In a short time, Su Tiancheng made a decision.
"General He, get up, go and prepare, after dark, set off with me, however, the five thousand sergeants you brought must leave two thousand people to garrison the camp, you go and arrange it quickly, don't delay the time."
Qin Rui entered the Chinese military tent and soon came out with a black face, he didn't expect that he would actually lead two thousand brothers to garrison the camp, but this was the task arranged by Su Tiancheng, including the two thousand people left by He Renlong, which were unified under his command, this was a military order, and it was a military order that could never be violated.
