Chapter 145:-for-tat

The layout of Liaodong is very important, and it really cannot be delayed.

Ximenqing has the "treasure" of Wang Jie, but he is determined to go to Liaodong, not that he can solve the current dilemma if he goes, but at least he can get an idea, which is much stronger than Hua Rongluan Tingyu and other restrained people.

Time could not wait, and on the third day after Zhang Zhenniang arrived in Dengzhou, Ximen Qing led a group of men to board the ship and set sail. This time, Ximen Qing brought a lot of heroes from the green forest, in addition to Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, who was a personal guard, and Sun Xin, who accompanied the staff officer, there were also the Ma brothers and the "flower monk" Lu Zhishen, three first-class battle generals.

Such a lineup, together with Liaodong Daying Huarong and Luan Tingyu, can be described as masters.

Because the fleet made several trips back and forth on this sea route, a group of sailors at the helm had a general understanding of the sea conditions during this period, and the voyage that originally took half a month, under the urging of Ximenqing, it only took ten days to resist the camp in Liaodong.

This way to the north of the floating sea, the conditions are not comparable to Fuzhong, not to mention that the sea boat is not as good as the inland river, the wind is high and the waves are urgent, it is inevitable that there will be the trouble of seasickness, except for the horse who has had an experience, the rest of the people, even if they are as brave as Lu Zhishen, it is not a toss.

Worried about the situation in Liaodong, his body is like this, and when Ximenqing arrives in Liaodong, the whole person's spirit is sluggish, and when he sees that the camp in Liaodong is still alive, he can't withstand such internal and external suffering, and he just sleeps in the camp in a dark place.

However, in the end, he also practiced guns and sticks when he was young, and he has been successful in practicing the "Xuansu Sutra" in recent times, and Ximenqing's body is not bad, so he ordered someone to raise the account early in the morning of the second day.

In the main tent of the camp. Ximen Qing is in a handsome position, the Xie brothers are in the back with full helmets and armor, and the generals below are sitting on the left and right. After everyone sat down, as the general of the Dengzhou Water Division, he was the first person in the original Liaodong camp. Hua Rong naturally needs to introduce some of the current situation in Liaodong to everyone, focusing on the situation of Guo Yaoshi's department in recent days.

After the remnants of the 8,000 resentful army led by Guo Yaoshi were stationed thirty miles away from the Liaodong camp, the reconnaissance rode out in all directions, and several roads leading to the Liaodong camp were all controlled by him, and nearly ten small tribes who came to surrender were intercepted by his subordinates.

This Guo Yaoshi is not like Zhao Heshou who attacked the Liaodong camp before, and met those Liaodong tribes. immediately raised the butcher's knife and did such murder and robbery, just as a soldier and collected some money to buy money.

After the Liaodong Rebellion, those small tribes suffered heavy losses in population and livestock. The original tribe of five or six thousand, now there are one or two thousand people is a great luck, in the face of Guo Yaoshi's eight thousand resentful army, but where is there half a sense of resistance, it is rare to be able to struggle to escape with his life.

Thirty percent of livestock, this is the rule set by Guo Yaoshi. In this troubled era where the strong are respected, all the tribes who want to join the camp in Liaodong. It is necessary to pull out a layer of skin on the side of Pharmacist Guo first.

"Could it be that these days you just let that Guo Yao Shi run rampant?"

After hearing Hua Rong's words, Ximen Qing was solemn, and Pharmacist Guo made the Liaodong camp "bait" so grandiosely. Obviously, Hua Rong's army was not taken into account, which can be described as unscrupulous.

"These days, our army has been expanded to four commanding cavalry troops, but compared to Guo Yaoshi's department, its strength is still weaker."

In fact, the reason why Hua Rong tolerated that Pharmacist Guo was that he had another thought in his heart.

The more than 2,000 cavalry in Liaodong are considered to be rare elites compared to the cavalry troops stationed on the roads of Hebei in the imperial court. Nowadays, the safety of the camp is taken care of. In the future, it will not be able to become a seed of the imperial court cavalry, and if it is lost on the resentful army. But it's distressing.

In Hua Rong's eyes, the young cavalry that Ximen Qing had high hopes for was simply child's play. I really don't believe I can do much. I arranged it this way, and it was also to save some strength for my brother-in-law.

Anyone who is a general, as long as he has a little brain, is familiar with the set of self-respect. In Hua Rong's mind, Ximenqing's plan in Liaodong is too dangerous, unless he can take the opportunity of the Jurchen southward in the future to achieve the situation of the Western Army. And if you want to do that, how can you use less military horses in your hands.

I have to say that the children of generals' families like Hua Rong are still limited to the situation in the DPRK and China, and they have not really jumped out of such a cage, so they naturally can't see the key points. Because of this, there is bound to be a deviation in the planning of its actions.

"The opportunity of Liaodong lies in a gibberish word! If you follow the rules, where can you show your skills? ”

Although he was dissatisfied with Hua Rong's disposition, he couldn't be blindly harsh. After all, in the matter of Liaodong, he was able to earn the current situation, and this "little Li Guang" could be regarded as having worked hard.

After sorting out his thoughts a little, Ximenqing continued, "Liaodong Zhuhu lives together, and they respect each other's strength, just like a pack of steppe wolves. If such a situation is achieved, it will be extremely unfavorable for us to take advantage of the fire and create a new situation in Liaodong. ”

"Mishandling of lowly duties, willing to be punished!"

As soon as Hua Rong heard this, he immediately understood that he had misjudged the situation, and he didn't count what Ximen Qing really thought in his heart, so he immediately got up and asked for guilt.

"You can understand, but you don't have to blame yourself!"

Ximenqing was relieved, and was about to say anything more, not wanting to make noise outside the tent. In a short time, there was a big commotion in the camp, and there were soldiers passing outside the tent in a column, and the pace was dense, and it was obvious that there were quite a few people.

"The detective cavalry of the Guo Yaoshi Department is only five miles away from my camp!"

Outside the tent, a Hua Rong pro-army came in to report, but it was Ximen Qing who was suddenly propped up from the handsome position, and said to the next generals: "Guo Yaoshi's department is so good, but it is deceiving me too much!" ”

Guo Yaoshi's resentful army was stationed nearby, so it was naturally necessary to send scouts in the direction where Hua Rong's army horse was located to guard against it. The same is true for Hua Rong's side. In the past, the reconnaissance cavalry of the two armies had almost removed a line of cover in the middle of the road, and there were occasional encounters, but they were only contests of cavalry and archery skills, but no one was injured.

But today's situation is obviously different, the resentful army scouts and cavalry pressed to five miles outside the camp, even if it is not a precursor to the attack, it is also a tentative move by Guo Yaoshi, if the response is not appropriate, I am afraid that the situation in Liaodong will be worse than before.

Seeing that Ximen Qing's face was full of anger, the generals led by Hua Rong immediately got up from their chairs and asked for battle.

After Ximen Qing thought about it for a while, he immediately ordered Hua Rong, Luan Tingyu and the Ma brothers to lead a scout each, a total of ten teams, and scattered out, making sure to press back the scouts of Guo Yaoshi's department.

I really don't know what kind of person this Guo Yaoshi is, and I can't say that I want to compete with this person in Liaodong.

After Hua Rong and other generals were ordered to leave the big tent, Ximen Qing retracted his body back into the commander's position, staring at the staggered red arrows on the case, only to feel that his eyes were crimson. (To be continued)
