Chapter 1321: Entering the Hanwang Temple
On the north bank of Luoshui, Hanwang Temple, this temple where incense is very prosperous on weekdays, is located in the north side of Shanping Ferry less than two miles away, by the mountains and rivers, but in the military it is an extremely important place, the left of the mountain and the Luoshui behind, can provide natural protection for the army, in order to meet the enemy from the front, Da Xi's goodwill army has arrived here an hour ago, set up a large camp, the horn is in the sky, the lights are bright.
It was already evening, but there was a hustle and bustle in the camp, more than forty years old, with a high nose and deep eyes, at first glance, it was the Henan Ling who looked like a Saiwaihu person, and the general of the Right Tun Guard, Da Xishan, rode proudly on his horse, patrolling back and forth, while his lieutenant, Hu Benlang General Sang Xianhe, was frowning, following behind Da Xi's kindness, without saying a word.
Da Xi's kind group of people walked to the door of the north camp, he smiled and pointed to the north with a horse whip, and shook his head: "It is said that Yang Xuangan is so powerful, invincible in the world, in my opinion, it is just that, before our army was dispatched, he faced these state and county soldiers and horses, and he could travel thousands of miles in a day, but after my army arrived, he stopped, retreated ten miles back and camped firmly, everyone, it seems that he is the first in the world, and he is also very watery!" ”
The surrounding group of pro-soldiers and guards all laughed along, but Sang Xianhe hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "Marshal, the last general thinks that the situation is not so optimistic, so it is better to be careful." ”
The corners of Da Xi's kind mouth hooked dissatisfiedly: "Oh, General Sang, what do you think?" ”
Sang Xianhe pointed to Luoshui in the distance and said, "I heard that Yang Xuangan's army crossed the Yellow River from the south of Jijun, and his younger brother Yang Jishan came from Luoshui, and now Yang Xuangan is in front. But Yang Jishan's army has not yet kept up. That's why Yang Xuangan retreated and set up camp. I expect that at this time, he should send an envoy to make a detour through the mountains, and then use a small boat into Luoshui to unite with Yang Jishan's department, make an appointment, and attack our army before and after. ”
The corners of Da Xi's kind mouth hooked unhappily and said, "General Sang." Do you mean that after I, a general, have less knowledge of the art of war and strategy? ”
Sang Xianhe hurriedly arched his hand and said: "No, no, no, the last general has no such intention, but as a subordinate, it is necessary for the last general to remind the commander." ”
Da Xi snorted heavily: "These things, Ben Shuai has long thought about them, Yang Jishan's department is all temporary recruited boatmen and migrant workers, so there is no need to worry, and a large number of boats are needed to pass on this Luoshui." If it is a large army, it will inevitably slow down the journey. Yang Xuangan's boats are all used in the Yellow River, where does Yang Jishan have many sailors? The so-called entry into Luoshui is just a bluff and a show. ”
"Yang rebelled against the army, there can't be too many people who rebelled, I have already inquired, it is the positive Yang Xuangan, there are only three or four thousand people, Yang Jishan is a suspicious soldier all the way, where can there be? The so-called two-way march is a rumor released by the thieves, and it is just a trick to lure our army into dividing the troops, so the commander will not be easily fooled. ”
Sang Xianhe hurriedly said: "Marshal, don't take it lightly, even if Yang Jishan's troops will not rush to the battlefield quickly, but Yang Xuanzong's more than 1,000 Yang Mansion soldiers are always real, although the flank of our army is covered by the danger of the mountain, but if he surpasses Bai Sima Ban and goes straight to the flank of our army, the situation will be dangerous." ”
Da Xi smiled kindly: "What are you panicking about!" Whether it is Yang Jishan or Yang Xuanzong, they are just partial divisions, suspicious soldiers, and will not rush to the battlefield quickly, the main force of the thief army is Yang Xuangan in front of him, as long as we defeat the frontal enemy in one fell swoop, the other thief armies will inevitably collapse without a fight. ”
Sang Xianhe gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Marshal, since this is the case, our army should attack overnight and storm the enemy camp, so as not to give the enemy a chance to meet the two sides." ”
Da Xi smiled kindly and waved his hand: "What do you know?" Behind our army, there are 8,000 elite soldiers of General Pei Hongce Pei of Henan Zanzhi, and with him, he will cover the flanks for us, especially Yang Xuanzong's way, before I came out, I agreed with Fan Liushou that he would deal with Yang Xuanzong. ”
Sang Xianhe hooked the corners of his mouth, and besides, Da Xi was a little impatient, waved his hand, and said coldly: "Okay, okay, our army has been running all the way from the eastern capital to here, and there are more than 100 miles to go, and now the soldiers need to rest, only when they recuperate, can they fight, and give the order, today the whole army will kill cattle and sheep, have a full meal, and tomorrow, they will go out to battle with the commander." ”
Sang Xianhe still gritted his teeth, hugged his fists, and said: "Marshal, on the eve of the war, don't indulge the soldiers, if you eat too much, you won't be able to fight with all your strength tomorrow, please restrain the three armies, spread all over the empty camps, move the camps to other places, cook on the fourth watch, and go to the battlefield with a full meal." ”
Da Xi turned his head suddenly, and said sharply: "Sang Xianhe, what do you mean, after you come out today, you will fight against Ben Shuai everywhere?" Does this army listen to you or to me? ”
Sang Xianhe hurriedly replied: "Of course I listened to the big handsome." ”
Da Xi said coldly and kindly: "It's good to know." Our army is an official army, and what we want is upright, if even Yang Xuangan's group of people and boatmen are afraid, is it still called an official army? If the brothers are not fed and fed, how will they fight tomorrow? As soon as Yang Xuangan touched our army, he was so frightened that he retreated ten miles, how could he dare to attack at night? If you dare to talk nonsense and make irresponsible remarks about Ben Shuai's orders, don't blame Ben Shuai for turning his face and being ruthless! ”
Sang Xianhe had cold sweat on his head, and he didn't dare to say more, so he could only arch his hand and say: "Obey the commander's orders." ”
Da Xi's kindness was also a little disappointed, he waved his hand, turned his horse's head, and walked towards the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, more than a dozen generals and colonels of the entourage followed, only Sang Xianhe looked at the direction of Yang Xuangan's big camp in the north in the distance in a daze, stunned, for a long time, then turned his head to a few sentries on duty above the watchtower at the gate of the camp and said: "It's all for me, if there is any change in the enemy's army, report it quickly, miss the military plane, and you will not be spared!" ”
More than a dozen voices answered neatly: "Obey the general's orders!" ”
Sang Xianhe's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, a helmet on the watchtower was pressed very low, and the soldier who had been keeping his head down, finally raised his head, the red pair of beautiful big eyes, flashing in the firelight, she whispered to a few capable sergeants on the left and right: "Okay, the night is our friend, it's time for us to show our talents, the iron armor and combat equipment of these five thousand elite soldiers, with the pig's head of Shangda Xi's kindness, is really a gift from God to the son, just tonight!"
