Chapter 60: The Feather Forest Army
At the end of the year, the weather is getting colder, although Lingzhou is located in the south, but it is also a north wind, and the cold is pressing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The southern land is already damp, the cold wind blows, and the dampness and cold penetrate the bones.
It was early afternoon, but the sky was overcast. I saw a group of people wearing armor and riding horses galloping from a distance. The horses on which the men rode were all strong and powerful, with attentive eyes, and they were extremely fast and steady.
Not far away, there are tents in front of the door, and there is a big flag with the word "Datang" written on it.
The group rode to the front of the camp, stopped neatly, and gradually dispersed to both sides. Then, the three of them slowly rode their horses and lined up at the front, and the armor on the head of the person was extremely exquisite, although there was no sunlight, but it was also dazzling, it was the mountain armor of the Tang Dynasty. It is extremely difficult to make mountain armor, and those who can wear it are either rich or expensive.
"Who are you...... Don't get off the horse yet. The guards guarding the door clenched the hilt of their knives, and they could already feel the murderous aura on these people.
The first one did not answer, but only tilted his head slightly, looking into the camp. A person behind him stepped forward, with a straight face, and said loudly: "This is General Dai, don't you call Ao Hong out quickly!" ”
The soldier heard this person call "Ao Hong" by his name, and then looked at the formation of several people, it was by no means an ordinary person, so he immediately ran into the barracks to tell Ao Hong.
After a while, Ao Hong led a group of people to the door, immediately lowered his head, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Ao Hong has seen General Dai!" ”
"My subordinates have seen General Dai!" All those behind him saluted.
"No need to be polite, let all the soldiers come to the Chinese army camp quickly!" After the leader finished speaking, he still rode his horse and led everyone towards the camp of the Chinese army.
"Look! General Dai is here! ”
The soldiers in the battalion looked at the group and talked a lot.
"General Dai...... General Dai? Is this person Dai Quan? ”
"But Dai Quan, the general of the Yulin Army?"
Since these soldiers were defeated in the mountain road, where did they dare to go to the battlefield again? All of them pretended to be sick and huddled in their tents all day.
While the crowd was talking, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. As far as the eye can see, the sky is full of dust.
"Yulin Army...... They're the Feather Forest Army! ”
"That's right...... That's right! General Dai personally led the Yulin Army here! ”
The 'government soldier system' of the Tang Dynasty is declining day by day, and the government soldiers in various places have existed in name only. The imperial court also established the Beiya Forbidden Army, which was called the 'Yulin Army', which was not governed by the Twelve Guards, but was the royal 'head of the forbidden army', and no one could match it in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Pang Zhengkuan was also excited when he saw Dai Quan at this time.
On that day, the mountain road was ambushed, and Pang An, as an infantryman, must have entered the mountain road. When the army retreated, Pang Zhengkuan did not look for Pang An, so he turned over every corpse in the mountain road, but still found nothing. His son's life and death are uncertain, and he is anxious every day.
After another ten days, there was still no news, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that you become a prisoner?" Then he comforted himself: "Even if you are an ambush soldier, you still have a life......
After Zhao Moshan was ambushed, he saw that he had lost 2,000 soldiers in just one day, and he was so afraid that he didn't dare to fight, so he immediately sent someone back to Chang'an, told the Tang Shengshang, and blamed Li Shen for the defeat.
The Tang Dynasty was furious when he heard this, and the ministers of the court and the central government all fell into the ground, and Zhao Mo was greedy for life and afraid of death. Gao Jingsi, the internal officer, saw the opportunity and recommended his confidant Dai Quan, the general of the Yulin Army, to personally take command and lead 2,000 Yulin troops to conquer Cui Xiliang.
Dai Quan is a descendant of Dai Zhong, the founding general, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, and is currently the general of the Yulin Army.
Pang Zhengkuan couldn't enter the Chinese army camp, he waited anxiously outside the camp, just thinking that he could send troops immediately, and he would definitely find his son Pang An.
"The corpses in the mountain road, we have identified them several times, and there is indeed no Pang An." Lu Liang walked over, also frowning.
Pang Zhengkuan said angrily: "Lao Tzu is going to kill Cui Xiliang!" ”
"There is no body to be seen, Pang An should still be alive. Besides, there were no Xu Li, Liu Shi, Tianlu, and Song Qiang who were with him in the corpses of Shandao, maybe they escaped. Lu Liang had heard the name of the Yulin Army, and when he saw Pang Zhengkuan's anxious appearance, he could only persuade a few words, "General Dai led the Yulin Army here, and this time he will definitely be able to defeat Cui Xiliang." ”
Pang Zhengkuan sighed, nodded, and scolded in a low voice: "Zhao Mo, this straw bag, how many people have been harmed!" The two couldn't say a few words, and Pang Zhengkuan was in a hurry to tidy up the saddle and be ready to fight at any time.
"General Zhao...... General Zhao! ”
Zhao Mo was still sleeping in the camp at this time, and only listened to the advice of the guards outside the door, so he sat up impatiently and reprimanded: "What's the matter? ”
The guard knelt down on one knee and said, "Report to General Zhao, General Dai has arrived." ”
Zhao Mo was still sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, and said to himself: "General Dai, which General Dai?" ”
"General of the Yulin Army, Dai Quan."
"Dai Quan...... He...... He's coming? Zhao Mo was shocked, and hurriedly picked up the armor at the foot of the bed, and before he put it on, he was in a hurry to find the shoes under the bed. He was unsteady on his feet, almost fell, and said in a panic: "Didn't General Dai just arrive the day after tomorrow, why did he come now?" ”
"The villain doesn't know, General Dai said that you should go to the Chinese army camp quickly, and there is something important to discuss."
Zhao Mo took care of his clothes in embarrassment, thinking about Dai Quan's temper, how dare he delay, and ran straight towards the Chinese army camp.
Today's Chinese army camp has a different atmosphere than in the past. All around were guards, all dressed in bright light armor, standing still in place.
"Who are you?" Seeing Zhao Mo, a guard deliberately pretended not to know him, and asked coldly.
"I ...... I'm Zhao Mo! Zhao Mo lost his usual majesty, and his voice trembled a little in front of these guards who were full of murderous aura.
"Is there a token?"
Zhao Mo didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly took out the waist card in his arms.
After a careful investigation, the guard walked to the door of the tent, raised his hand to open the tent curtain, and said loudly: "General Zhao has arrived!" ”
Zhao Mo lowered his head and stepped into the camp tent, and saw that the tent was full of people. The crowd turned to look at him and stopped talking.
The first person is Dai Quan, and on the left stands Ao Hong, Luo Tian, Ling Zong, Li Zhen, Zhang Junsui and other military captains, and on the right is a line of civilian officials in Lingzhou.
Zhao Mo, as the uncle of the country, is the general of Jin Wuwei, although the official position is the same level as Dai Quan, but in front of this murderous 'wolf general' on weekdays, he is also a little jealous. And he was a defeated general at this time, and he was even more short of breath by three points, his expression was a little evasive, and he said respectfully: "Zhao has seen General Dai." As he spoke, he clasped his hands and saluted. According to common sense, Zhao Mo should stand on the left as the leader, but at this time, he saw that Ao Hong had no intention of giving way, and he didn't know where to stand, so he had to walk towards the empty seat on the far right.
"Zhao Mo, are you guilty?" Dai Quan didn't raise his head, and asked quietly.
As soon as these words came out, the tent was suddenly silent, and only the "creaking" of charcoal burning in the stove could be heard.
"I ...... What sin am I? Zhao Mo couldn't help but stop, panicking instantly, he didn't expect that Dai Quan would ask himself for his guilt as soon as he arrived in the camp.
