Chapter 138: Swimming Against the River
Three days later. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Night.
To the north of the imperial capital, a long marching team is marching rapidly, bypassing the moat around the city and heading north, at the front of the team, a big banner with the word 'Ling' blowing with the wind to hunt and hunt, especially in this dark night, it looks more powerful.
Under the big flag, there are two war horses walking side by side, that is Ling Feng and Zhang Wu!
In three days, everything had been done, Ling Feng was named the general of the rebellion, was ordered to march secretly, quietly left the imperial capital, and then went up the river.
And Zhang Wu was taken to the barracks by Ling Feng the next day, and Zhang Wu was elated about this; In fact, he had long wanted to join the army, and being able to join Ling Feng's account was something he had always dreamed of, and now he could be regarded as getting what he wanted.
Ling Feng didn't give him any official position for the time being, and he wasn't ready to let him participate in the war, Zhang Wu was young after all, only thirteen years old, this expedition could be regarded as going to experience and get used to the environment on the battlefield.
By the moonlight, the army rushed forward, Zhang Wu looked at Ling Feng sideways, and asked, "General, why are we marching at night, it is not majestic at all." ”
"Xiao Zhang Wu, this battle is not for prestige..."
"I know, it's just talking."
.......
Not many people knew about the departure of Ling Feng's army, because outside the imperial capital, there was still a large military camp, and from the outsider's point of view, Ling Feng's army was still stationed outside the city, and there was no movement.
This was the emperor's suspicious plan, and Ling Feng was also very satisfied, the more this was the case, the safer it would be for him to take the waterway, and the easier it would be to succeed in attacking Wei Ning.
...........
Huai County.
On this day, Pang Yi feasted all the civil and military generals in the county guard's mansion, and the lobby was full of enthusiasm, and Mei Ji danced, accompanied by the sound of music, which was beautiful to listen to; Now there are rebels all over the country, this news is more happy than they captured the city, in just half a year, the rebel army has expanded the number of soldiers to more than 300,000, this strength plus the natural danger of Surabaya Pass, enough to fight any enemy, even Qin Huai led 600,000 people failed to defeat Surabaya Pass, and finally died of hatred, just ask the empire Manchu Dynasty, who else can fight, or who dares to send death.
However, there are no absolutes, just when everyone was happy, there was news from the soldiers that Du Yuan, another general of the imperial court, led an army of 400,000 troops to the north and set off a few days ago.
When they got the news, many generals were dismissive, looking like Lao Tzu was the best in the world; However, some generals attached great importance to it and suggested that Jiang Yiyuan should personally defend Surabaya Pass.
At this time, there was a lot of quarrel in the hall, Pang Yi waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then he looked at Jiang Yiyuan and said, "Strategist, what do you mean?" ”
Everyone fell silent, and all looked at Jiang Yiyuan.
However, Jiang Yiyuan was also very annoyed, in fact, in his heart, he was very reluctant to go to Surabaya Pass again, because there was still a war in Huai County, and if he wanted to deal with Wei Ning, he had to take action.
Since the last time he defeated Qin Huai, he returned to Huai County, originally thinking of immediately conquering Wei Ning, but for many reasons, it was delayed, and Wei Ning also felt threatened, so he quickly improved his strength, and had quickly recovered the two counties on the left and right, expanding his strength to a terrifying 400,000!
However, although the two counties on the left and right were occupied, the main forces were still allocated to the large county in the middle, in order to prevent Pang Yi's army from raiding.
Looking at the people in the hall, and then at Pang Yi, Jiang Yiyuan said: "Our army now has sufficient troops, whether it is against Wei Ning or against the imperial army, it has a full chance of victory, but it is not possible to fight on both sides, so we must turn one side into the defensive!" ”
Pang Yi said: "Strategist, what do you mean... Defend Surabaya Pass and take the initiative to attack Wei Ning in order to stabilize the rear? ”
The generals in the hall are also full of heat, and the thoughts in their hearts are the same, the generals in this hall do not have one or two thousand soldiers and horses in their hands, of course they are thinking about going to the battlefield to make contributions, if they still go to the Surabaya Pass, they are guarding the city all day long, and they are passively beaten, how boring it is.
Hearing Pang Yi's words, Jiang Yiyuan smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't mean that.
"Lord, if you stay here to attack Wei Ning, then who should be stationed at Surabaya Pass?"
Jiang Yiyuan asked.
This is what he is most worried about, and on the contrary, if it goes to Surabaya Pass, then who will take the lead in attacking Wei Ning? Maybe Pang Yi can do it, but Jiang Yiyuan is not very relieved, in his eyes, no one in the rebel army can do it, including his eldest brother Jiang Yiqu, Jiang Yiqu is best at governing internal affairs, and he is not very good at military planning, so he is facing such a situation now.
Pang Yi thought for a while, frowned, and said: "Although Chen Fang is brave, he is eager to make meritorious contributions, and he definitely can't take on this responsibility; And except for him.... Thinking about it, Pang Yi shook his head helplessly, there are really few generals who can reassure people now.
Liu Shi was now promoted to general, and he got up and arched his hand: "My lord, the last general suggested that the military division should go to Surabaya Pass to guard it, so that nothing goes wrong." ”
The other generals also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, what General Liu said is very true." ”
"That's what I mean."
At this time, many people also stood up and agreed.
But in this way, the question arises again, Jiang Yiyuan is gone, so is there still a war with Wei Ning here?
Pang Yi looked at Jiang Yiyuan and asked, "Strategist, what do you see?" ”
Jiang Yiyuan rolled his eyes, he now found that Pang Yi was becoming more and more assertive, with his understanding of Pang Yi, it was not like this before, when he was in high spirits to conquer the Yi people, if it was like this now, how could he win, but now how has it changed.
Shaking his head, he arched his hand and replied, "My lord, I think that ... General Liu's words are reasonable. ”
"Okay, then I will ask you to go to Surabaya Pass again, and I will give you 50,000 elites to help you meet the imperial army." Pang Yi said.
Jiang Yiyuan got up: "Humble obedience." ”
At this time, a general couldn't help but speak: "Lord, then will we still attack Wei Ning?" ”
Before Pang Yi could speak, Jiang Yiyuan immediately said: "Although the strength of our army has been expanded, it is not suitable to open up two battlefields, so..." He made a gesture at Pang Yi and said, "Please also ask the lord to take the defense as the top, train more soldiers and horses, wait for me to repel the strong enemy, and then take the three northern counties with all my strength." ”
Pang Yi looked at the general and said, "Did you hear that?" ”
"No."
Although the generals nodded in agreement, they were a little disappointed in their hearts, and the same was true for other generals, who had been training for so long, but they were still cowering in the city, alas, holding their breath. (To be continued.) )
