When Dai Quan led the Yulin army to the outskirts of Nangang, Cui Xiliang, who was in Yan County, was drinking in the yamen while discussing with everyone where to attack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The rebels originally planned to attack Lingzhou City after occupying Yan County. But in the past few days, the scouts have to report that Lingzhou has long closed the city gates, and all the soldiers are guarding the city. The rebels raised their troops in a hurry, although they captured Yan County, they were still short of food and grass, and there was no way to face Lingzhou City.

Everyone was discussing, and suddenly a scout entered the hall and said, "Report to the general, Dai Quan led the three thousand Yulin army to the outside of Nangang City." ”

"What?" Everyone had heard of the prestige of the Yulin Army, and they were all shocked.

Cui Xiliang stood up and said anxiously: "Tell me quickly!" ”

The scout replied: "Last night, the little one was hiding on the outskirts of Nangang, and saw about 3,000 cavalry galloping towards him. At first, I didn't care about it, but after investigating the formation, I found that they were well-equipped, and the word 'Yulin' was written on the military flag! ”

"Is it really the Yulin Army?" Tricilian frowned, his breathing slowing.

The scout nodded again and again, and continued: "General Hui, there is no doubt that it is indeed the Yulin Army. The little ones didn't dare to be sloppy, and hid outside the camp all night to investigate...... I heard that as soon as Dai Quan, the general of the Yulin Army, arrived in the army, he drove Zhao Mo back to Chang'an and returned ...... He also arrested several generals in the army. It seems that in a few days, it will be attacked. ”

Cui Xiliang captured Nangang and occupied Yan County, and many people came to defect nearby, and there were about 10,000 people in the army at this time. After listening to the scout's report, Cui Xiliang's second brother Cui Ping doubted on the side: "How could Dai Quan come so quickly?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were puzzled.

It is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, even if it is a fast horse and whip, day and night, it will take more than 20 days. Cui Ping seemed to be muttering to himself: "Could it be that the Yulin Army is really ...... Is it lightning fast? ”

Shao Mingxuan thought for a while and said, "Dai Quan came so timely, he drove Zhao Mo away as soon as he arrived in the army...... I'm afraid it's premeditated. ”

Cui Yanlong asked, "Premeditated...... What does Brother Shao mean, is it that Dai Quan is waiting for Zhao Mo's defeat early in the morning? ”

"By all indications, it must be so." Shao Mingxuan thought for a while, sighed, and said, "Or Zhao Mo's defeat and Dai Quan also made a lot of efforts in his back." ”

Cui Yanlong grinned and scolded: "These dog offals in the imperial court are so black! In order to rob the military merits, he even disregarded the lives of thousands of people! ”

Cui Xiliang knew the strength of the Yulin Army, he sat back in his chair, and said in a little panic: "At this time, I can't wait to capture Lingzhou, and Dai Quan is leading the Yulin Army to come again, how can this be good?" ”

There are many strategists in the rebels, one of whom is named Liu He, who is quite knowledgeable, and is a local 'Xianggong' in Lingzhou, and has long wanted to show what he has learned. He stood up, bowed to everyone, and sighed: "Although the Yulin Army is famous all over the world, there are only 3,000 people, and the rest of the officers and soldiers are all useless waste. Now that General Cui has tens of thousands of troops and righteous men from all over the world are gathering to respond, we only need to set a strategy to resolve the current crisis. ”

"Brother Liu, if you have any plans, please tell me."

Liu He paused and continued: "Since we can't capture Lingzhou now, I might as well take a boat to the east, take advantage of its unpreparedness, and capture Lizhou." After capturing Lizhou, you can stick to the city of Lizhou, occupy the granary of the local officials, and then send 5,000 soldiers all the way to the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River...... When we have countless money and food, we can also build warships and drive straight into the important land of Chuzhou. In this way, you can occupy all the places in the south of the Yangtze River and sit in the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty! At that time, there were countless responders in Chuzhou, Xuzhou, Lizhou, Huainan and other places, and then, if they sent troops north, along the Longjiang River, they could approach Chang'an......"

When I first heard this plan, it was indeed exquisite, but when I thought about it carefully, I felt that it was mysterious and must be linked one by one. Tracy Liang listened to it in a foggy mind, he was worried about the Yulin Army, the immediate crisis, not the future strategy. looked at Liu He holding the wine glass in one hand, and said it red-faced, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "Brother Liu is afraid that he is drunk, this plan will be discussed again, and then discussed." ”

Since ancient times, most literati were arrogant, Liu He saw that Cui Xiliang was afraid of attacking a place south of the Yangtze River, and he regarded his clever plan as a drunken remark, and he was already a little angry in his heart, so he stepped aside, drank by himself, and stopped talking.

Another strategist Wang Quan said: "General Cui, from the perspective of Wang Quan, it is absolutely impossible to attack the east. Although the water town in the south of the Yangtze River is the richest place in the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers in Xuzhou and Chuzhou are extremely brave, how can they be so easy to capture? Why don't we lead the army to the west and withdraw, garrison in a dangerous place, take this place as the foundation of hegemony, and after the development and growth, it is not too late to start again, so it is the best policy! ”

This one said to the east and the other to the west, Cui Xi's conscience was even more worried about Yulinjun, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Shao Mingxuan sat next to Cui Yanlong and did not answer. He has been in the army for the shortest time, but he is deeply trusted by Cui Yanlong. In front of Cui Xiliang, Cui Yanlong repeatedly recommended Shao Mingxuan and asked him to serve as a military advisor. Shao Mingxuan lived up to expectations, using Nangang as a bait, and the mountain road designed an ambush to trap the officers and soldiers, which was from him. It's just that he didn't expect the victory to be so smooth, and the officers and soldiers would not be aware of the ambush soldiers in the mountain road.

"Brother Shao, do you have a plan?" Cui Yanlong saw that everyone had no idea, so he asked.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Shao Mingxuan said with a straight face: "This to the east or to the west, there are pros and cons...... It's all possible. But ......" said this, Shao Mingxuan stopped and just looked at Cui Xiliang.

Cui Xiliang was anxious and said, "Brother Shao, if you have a plan, tell me quickly!" ”

Shao Mingxuan said: "But at this time, the key to waiting for me is not to go east or west, but General Cui has to make a decision immediately, and it will be too late if it is too late." ”

Liu He, Wang Quan and others are all people of 'Xianggong', but Shao Mingxuan is just a wandering cloth-clothed person. When I saw him as a military advisor before, I was already dissatisfied in my heart. At this time, listening to his unassertive and ingenious statement, a trace of disdain could not help but rise on his face.

Cui Xiliang listened to Shao Mingxuan's words, and also felt that he said as if he didn't say it, his face was embarrassed, and he hesitated in his heart, how could he make a decision immediately? So he said: "Where this attack is going, we still need to think again." At the moment, we must first defend Yan County, and go down......"

Everyone walked out of the camp, Cui Yanlong caught up with Shao Mingxuan, and said, "Brother Shao, this matter is very important, I'm afraid that my brother won't be able to make up his mind for a while." ”

Shao Mingxuan sighed and said, "What can solve our crisis now is not to the east or the west, but only the words 'make a decision immediately'. General Cui can't do it, and Shao can't do anything. ”

Seeing Cui Yanlong's puzzled look, Shao Mingxuan continued: "Once Dai Quan leads the Yulin Army to attack, Yan County will definitely not be able to defend it. Now that Datang is not exhausted, it is not the time to seek hegemony. General Cui has fallen into a 'heavenly time', and I am afraid that it will be difficult. ”

"Instant decision...... Immediately decided......" Cui Yanlong lowered his head and read it a few times, sighed, and said: "My brother is like this every time he encounters a major event...... Now we are already riding a tiger! Brother Shao's words, I'm afraid it will mess up the morale of the army...... You only know and I know, and you must not tell others to listen. Just wait for me to find an opportunity to persuade my brother in private. ”

Night.

Shao Mingxuan, dressed in a cyan cloth robe, came to the school field with his hands in his hands, and he stood still in the field, raising his head and staring at the night sky, motionless.

At this time, the stars in the night sky became flickering and dimming, but it was only a moment, and the calm was restored.

"Born with a vision." Shao Mingxuan's brows tightened, remembering Lu Chengkong's nonsense that day, and asked again and again: "How can he know what year the fate of the Great Tang Kingdom is?" He was able to deduce the Tang Dynasty earlier than me? With this person's knowledge, how can he know that the man's surname is Huang? ”

"Anti-thief...... I, Shao Mingxuan, am a thief? Shao Mingxuan turned his head and stared at the prison, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"With the power of a mortal, I must not be able to reverse the stars, I must be overthinking." After a while, Shao Mingxuan returned to his usual indifferent expression and walked back to the room.
