Chapter 0177: Transferred to Donglai

"Huh! Scold! ”

Wei Yunqi couldn't help laughing, "The Bohai Society will do whatever it takes to win over the general, and even the king of Beihai County has to give it to the general, 10,000 taels of gold, 10,000 hectares of land, and the entire Beihai County as a food town, the Bohai Society is really generous!" ”

Zhang Xuan sneered, "Don't you think that Bohai will be painting cakes?" Who does Beihai County belong to now? Can they get 10,000 hectares of land? Don't say 10,000 taels of gold, I'm afraid they won't even give me 100 taels of gold now. ”

Wei Yunqi nodded, "But if I hadn't arrived in time just now, would the general have thought of these things under the pomegranate skirt?" ”

Zhang Xuan was silent, Wei Yunqi revealed the truth in one sentence, Gao Hui was very aware of their empty promises, in order not to figure this out, so she decided to seduce herself and let herself sign the deed of sale when she was confused.

Wei Yunqi groaned and said, "Actually, I think their real target is not a general, but a marshal." ”

"Why does the gentleman say that?"

"I can't say it clearly, an intuition, after all, Qi County and Beihai County are controlled by the marshal, and the marshal has real military power, and I feel that the general is just a bridge for them."

Zhang Xuan nodded silently, he also felt this way, Bohai would give himself such heavy conditions, which was a bit inconsistent with his identity as Zhang Xuan, and it was almost the same for Zhang Xutuo.

"What does the gentleman think I should do with the Bohai Society?"

Wei Yunqi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The power of the Bohai Society has grown rapidly in the past two years, and I advise the general not to offend them as much as possible, you can be false and wrong, you can cooperate, but don't take refuge, as long as the general grasps this principle, I think there should be no problem." ”

"Sir is right, Jang Hyun has been taught."

Just as Zhang Xuan and Wei Yunqi were discussing the Bohai Meeting in a low voice, a dark shadow was hiding like a ghost behind the beam on the roof next to them.

The black shadow was slender and clinging to the wall, and there was nothing unusual about the roof from below. Zhang Xuan's room couldn't see the situation on the roof next door, but in the hiding place of the black shadow, he could clearly hear the conversation between Zhang Xuan and Wei Yunqi.

......

After spending three days in Gomi County, Jang Hyun basically completed the dismissal of the prisoners of war. Hundreds of thousands of refugees, most of them natives of Gaomi County, are also on their way home, and once they have their freedom and basic guarantee of survival, they are all eager to return to their homes.

There are also a large number of trivial matters that will be solved by Wei Yunqi and the local government, and Zhang Xuan left three hundred soldiers to assist Wei Yunqi. He led the rest of the army to Donglai County to participate in the campaign to suppress bandits in Donglai County.

Donglai County is the easternmost corner of today's Shandong Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, adjacent to Gaomi County and Beihai County, the nest of the thief Shuai Zuo Xiaoyou is located in the middle of Donglai County, the mountain is high and dense, stretching for hundreds of miles, more than 100,000 thieves are hiding in the mountains.

Due to the small population of Donglai County, it is difficult to feed more than 100,000 troops by plundering alone, so the large area of farmland around Squagou Mountain is actually cultivated by the thief army. In addition, they also have hundreds of fishing boats on the seashore, and they catch a lot of fish to supplement their military rations.

Although Zuo Xiaoyou was brave and unscrupulous, after he heard that the Sui army had captured Gaomi County, he realized that once Meng Rang was destroyed, it would be his turn next, so he ignored the hard persuasion of his uncle Zuo Yunshan and resolutely led an army of 20,000 to attack Beihai County, in an attempt to force Zhang Xutuo to retreat.

However, Zhang Xutuo had ordered the general Qin Qiong to lead an army of 5,000 to garrison the dangerous pass of Beihai County, and Zuo Xiaoyou's attack was fruitless. At this time, there was news that Zhang Xutuo led the army north, and Zuo Xiaoyou had to lead the army back to Donglai County.

At this time, outside a small town called Wadangkou in the south of Donglai County, Zuo Xiaoyou led an elite army of 50,000 to build a large camp by a small river, and Wadangkou was the intersection of two official roads in the east and west. The strategic location is extremely important.

Zuo Xiaoyou didn't want to immediately retreat to Squaogou Mountain, he didn't want to put the war in his lair, because the Sui army was not much, only more than 10,000 people, Zuo Xiaoyou wanted to use positional warfare to defeat Zhang Xutuo in one fell swoop. His army could sweep southward and annex the entire Qingzhou, and Zhang Xutuo's hard work in the south and north made him a wedding dress.

At this time, on a high ground about five miles south of Wadangkou, Qin Qiong led 5,000 troops to actively build a large camp, the camp covers an area of nearly 300 acres, and the surrounding walls are rammed with mud and wood.

In addition to the strong camp wall, three wells were drilled in the camp to ensure that the army could use water, and a guard tower was built every fifty paces around the camp, which was three feet high, and there were sentries who kept watch day and night to prevent the thieves from raiding.

At this time, Zuo Xiaoyou stood on the pedal of the camp, looking at the board wall camp that the Sui army had set up from a distance, he frowned, and said to his uncle Zuo Yunshan with some dissatisfaction: "Why does my uncle dissuade me from attacking the enemy army, now they only have 5,000 people, and my strength is ten times that of them, I can defeat the enemy army in one battle and capture Qin Qiong alive, why should my uncle stop it?" ”

Zuo Yunshan said with a smile: "The purpose of the king leading the army out of the mountain is to completely annihilate Zhang Xutuo's army and seize the entire Qingzhou, if Qin Qiong is defeated too early, I am worried that Zhang Xutuo will not march into Donglai County again, but to defend Beihai County, which will destroy the king's entire plan, the king, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" ”

Although Zuo Yunshan said a little reasonable, Zuo Xiaoyou was still uncomfortable in his heart, he felt that he had lost a good fighter, he was speechless to refute, so he had to snort heavily, and walked quickly towards his big tent.

Zuo Yunshan looked at the back of his nephew and walked away, and shook his head secretly, seeing that Zuo Xiaoyou was getting more and more irritable, he couldn't stop it, I hope Zhang Xutuo's army will come as soon as possible!

At this moment, a sentry in the distance rushed to the camp and shouted under the camp wall: "Military advisor, Zhang Xutuo's army has arrived!" ”

After two days of rapid marching, Zhang Xutuo led an army of 10,000 and finally arrived at the Sui army camp in Wadangkou, the camp gate was wide open, and Qin Qiong came out, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Humble Qin Qiong see the marshal!" ”

"It's hard work General Qin!"

Zhang Xutuo turned over and dismounted and asked, "What is the situation now, have you fought with the thief army?" ”

"General Huiyu, we haven't fought with the thief army yet, and now the thief army is stationed five miles away from us."

Zhang Xutuo was quite interested, so he smiled and said: "Zuo Xiaoyou is actually stationed in the camp, it's rare!" Check it out! ”

He walked into the camp quickly, accompanied by Qin Qiong and the generals, walked up to the wooden platform of the camp wall, and Zuo Xiaoyou's camp could be clearly seen in the distance, covering an area of 1,000 acres.

Qin Qiong laughed in a low voice: "When the lowly position was building the camp, I found that they wanted to send troops to attack several times, but in the end they still did not attack, so it is very strange that the lowly position can successfully build a good camp!" ”

"Not surprising at all!"

Zhang Xutuo smiled slightly: "Money can make ghosts grind, Zuo Xiaoyou never dreamed that there are already people around him who have ill intentions." ”

Qin Qiong was slightly stunned, who is the big handsome talking about?

.......

On the afternoon of Zhang Xutuo's arrival at Wadangkou, Zuo Xiaoyou personally led an army of 5,000 people to the Sui army camp.

"You are a bunch of earth dogs, grandpa came to kill the dogs, wash the neck and get out!"

On the camp wall, Luo Shixin was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire, and his fists were clenched with a rattling sound, he suddenly roared, turned around and ran towards the gate of the camp.

When Luo Shixin urged the horse to rush to the camp gate, Zhang Xutuo was already waiting for him at the camp gate, Zhang Xutuo's eyes were gloomy, and his face was very grim.

Luo Shixin reluctantly turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said: "The humble duty asks to go to war, if you don't mention the head of Zuo Xiaoyou, the humble duty is willing to accept the military law." ”

Zhang Xutuo slashed his head and face and whipped Luo Shixin a few times, and shouted: "Drag it down and beat thirty military sticks!" ”

Several military law soldiers set up Luo Shixin and left, Luo Shixin did not dare to argue, he had never seen the marshal so angry, frightened him into silence, the soldiers took Luo Shixin and beat with sticks, after a moment of thirty sticks, Zhang Xutuo said coldly: "Who dares to go to war without authorization, and be beheaded by military law!" ”

He turned around and rushed back to the big tent angrily, and Luo Shixin was also sent back to his own tent, at this time, Qin Qiong walked into the tent and said with a smile: "Why did you fall before you got out of the camp?" ”

Luo Shixin said with a face full of shame: "Big brother, don't come to laugh at me!" ”

"I'm not here to laugh at you, I'm just here to see you, how is it, is it badly injured?"

"Fortunately, the soldiers are measured, and it will be good to wait for the blood to fade, three or four days at most!"

Qin Qiong nodded, sat beside him and said earnestly: "You are indeed a little reckless today, Zuo Xiaoyou led five thousand troops to provoke is just a bait, as long as we go to war, he will inevitably dispatch the whole army, we are not strong enough, we will really be defeated, and the marshal can only boil his sharpness, and wait for the enemy soldiers to subside." ”

"But I just went to fight alone, and the situation was not good, so I immediately retreated, and I didn't lead the army to fight them."

Qin Qiong shook his head, "When you get to the battlefield, you can't help yourself, you are more than brave, but you are not calm enough, once you fall, will the marshal go to the rescue?" Once the commander goes to the rescue, the entire army will be dispatched, which is called pulling a hair and moving the whole body. ”

Luo Shixin sighed, "Big brother is right, I know it's wrong!" ”

Qin Qiong smiled again: "Although Zuo Xiaoyou's strategy is insufficient, he leads the troops well, and he is not as vicious as other bandits, oppressing the good, this person's army is still relatively good at fighting, especially his five thousand guards are all original Sui soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, no less than ours, so the commander is very cautious and will not easily send troops to fight with the enemy, you must remember next time, if you violate the military law again, no one will be able to protect you." ”

Luo Shixin nodded silently, and Qin Qiong got up to say goodbye and returned to Zhang Xutuo's handsome tent.

A soldier reported for him, Qin Qiong walked into the tent, only to see Zhang Xutuo standing in front of the map with his hands in his hands, looking at the map with a solemn gaze, he didn't look back, and asked in a deep voice: "How is Shixin?" ”

Zhang Xutuo and Luo Shixin are not only master and apprentice, but also like father and son, he ordered Luo Shixin to beat 30 military sticks, and he himself felt uncomfortable.

Qin Qiong bowed down and said, "Commander Qiqi, Shixin has already known that he was wrong. ”

Zhang Xutuo nodded, and said: "This time Zuo Xiaoyou did not refuse to defend the squatting dog mountain, but led the army to meet the battle, in fact, he wanted to annihilate us in one fell swoop, and then annex the entire Qingzhou, in fact, in terms of strength, we are indeed inferior to him, so to exterminate Zuo Xiaoyou, we must use tactics."
