Thirty-six Expeditions to the Mountains (3)
"Please also ask General Qiao to invite the thief Cao to ask." He Qi hurriedly said, if you can win quickly, you will never drown. This is something that a mature general should pay attention to, after all, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, although the loss of attacking Shanyue will not be so serious, but whether it is He Qi or Sun Yi, they both have civilian positions on the side of the herdsman, and they can't spend too long here.
Qiao Ren said with a smile: "Wu Xun is in Xiuyang City. Ren then called for him. ”
Xiuyang is only more than ten miles away from the army station, but because Xiuyang is a place where Shanyue lives, the traffic is actually not good, so when Wu Xun comes, it is also the time when the jade rabbit is rising. In the big tent, He Qi, Qiao Ren, and Sun Yi sat on the top seat, and Wu Xun, who looked fierce but wore a civilian uniform, sat at the bottom, discussing the matter of cutting off the water source of the cottage.
Qiao Ren asked Wu Xun: "Bo Dao (Wu Xun table) can you know where the water source of Jiao has been cottaged?" With Qiao Ren's questioning, He Qi and Sun Yi also turned their eyes to Wu Xun.
Facing the eyes of the three people, Wu Xun also said fearlessly: "When Xia Guan was still in the cottage, he walked through this mountain within a radius of ten miles. I know where the water is. ”
"Oh" The three of them all had green eyes when they heard Wu Xun's reply, even Qiao Ren. Although Qiao Ren swore that Wu Xun must know, he couldn't help but be excited when he really got the promise from Wu Xun's mouth.
At this time, it is still necessary for Deheqi, the real person in charge, to speak: "Please also tell me where the water source is." ”
Wu Xun, who made this kind of meritorious service, naturally would not shirk it, so he told the location of the water source one by one.
"I never thought that this Jiao was so bold, there was only one water source, and there was no one to guard it." He Qi heard that Jiao Ji Cottage was only supported by a water source, and he was not without emotion.
"Although the Yue people fought bravely, they were not as familiar with military books as us, so it is conceivable that they acted like this." Qiao Ren didn't look down on the Yue people, but after all, the Yue people had lived in the mountains and forests for too long, and it was good to fight before the battle, but it was a lot worse when it came to being meticulous. "Besides, if Jiao has sent heavy troops to guard it, isn't it obvious that there is something strange here? It can be seen that he never thought that there were people in our army who were familiar with this mountain. ”
Wu Xun not only did not look happy when he heard this, but he was also a little sad, after all, half a year ago, he was also a Yue Min in this mountain, and now it is not right to help Qiao Ren against the clansmen, how can he be happy again.
Seeing that Wu Xun's expression was a little wrong, Qiao Ren understood it for a while. In front of him, this person is still a Yue Min. "Bo Dao has something to say."
Wu Xun heard Qiao Ren's questioning words, and he stopped talking for a while. "Fu Jun, there is a request. I don't know if to talk about it or not? ”
"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Regarding what Wu Xun was going to say, Qiao Ren had already made up his mind about it.
Wu Xun stood up and bowed to Qiao Ren at the top. The mouth said: "I still hope for the king, pity the people in the mountains, don't kill them all.!" With that, he fell to the ground.
Looking at Wu Xun who was worshipping underground, Qiao Ren felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Qiao Ren didn't dare to be deeply affected by such a big gift, and hurriedly sat down to help Wu Xun up. said, "Bo Dao, don't be like this, no matter how you say it, the Yue people in this mountain are also the people of my Xindu County, but they are just bewitched by thieves." Ren can guarantee that this battle will only punish the first evil. The rest of the Yue people only need to migrate down the mountain and settle for reclamation. "Qiao Renke is still counting on these Yue people to enrich their household registration and increase the source of soldiers, how can they be wiped out.
"Thank you Fujun, thank you Fujun" Wu Xun got Qiao Ren's promise and hurriedly bowed down again, but this time he was stopped by Qiao Ren. As for He Qi and Sun Yi, they didn't react. Sun Yi is because Qiao Ren is the county guard of Xindu, he is only in charge of fighting, civil, of course, he has to return to the Indo-Pacific guard, and Qiao Ren is still in the name of a general of Fuyue. As for He Qi, it was out of another consideration, when Guy had conquered Minyue before, he He Qi did just that.
"Governor, please give orders on how to act." After appeasing Wu Xun, Qiao Ren spoke directly to He Qi.
It is not the first time that He Qi has conquered the Yue people, so he is naturally familiar with the road when he fights. "In a certain family, most of the subordinates are composed of the Yue people and the Han people who have lived in the mountains for a long time, and they are familiar with fighting in the forest, so the water source is cut off by the soldiers and horses of a certain family. Considering that if there was a section of the water source, Jiao would definitely desperately want to recapture it, so a certain family decided to personally lead the army to station at the water source. The soldiers and horses of the large battalion were under the command of General Qiao, and General Qiao was asked to decide how to act. This arrangement is not because He Qi looks down on Sun Yi, but because Sun Yi is leading the army for the first time after all, and he doesn't like to use his brain and his surname is impulsive; And Qiao Ren has the experience of leading an army alone, and his surname is cautious, compared to Sun Yilai, Qiao Ren is more suitable to lead the army.
Sun Yi didn't have any idea when he heard this arrangement, after all, he knew his own affairs. Compared with Qiao Ren, a quasi-brother-in-law, he is inferior in both experience and ability, and if he makes Qiao Ren stumble back to Wu County, his little sister will not let him go. After multiple considerations, Sun Yi chose to accept the order, anyway, he just wanted to do a good job.
Sun Yi has no opinion, and Qiao Ren will not have an opinion. "Ren should live up to the responsibility of the governor."
"Okay," He Qi saw that the two of them had no opinion, so he didn't say more, "A certain family decided to take troops up the mountain tomorrow, and General Qiao also lent the thief Cao to a certain temporary use." ”
"He Dudu spoke, how dare Ren disobey." Qiao Ren said with a smile: "Bo Dao, it will be under the jurisdiction of He Du Governor for the time being. After the war, it was returned to the county. ”
-------------------------------------Boundary---------------------------------
The next day, before the sky was bright, He Qi took his army of 10,000 up the mountain. Under the leadership of Wu Xun, it was very easy to find the source of Jiao's water source. "This Jiao has been unguarded, and the water source is unattended." Deng Tao, the captain under He Qi, said with a smile.
"Don't be careless. As soon as our army cut off the water source, it doesn't take half a day to know, and someone will come to fight for it. Although there are many soldiers and horses in our army, eighty percent of them are newly recruited Vietnamese recruits, and there are less than 2,000 real veterans. Although these people are strong and brave, their military spirit is not stable, and it is okay to fight a good battle, but if the situation is unfavorable, I am afraid that they will ・・・・・" He Qi did not want to hit the morale of the army as soon as he came, so he lowered his voice very low, and in the end he didn't say anything at all.
And Lieutenant Colonel He Qijun obviously didn't want to touch this moldy head, but asked about other affairs, "General, General Fuyue is not a weak crown at a young age, may it be safe to hand over the camp to him?" ”
He Qi glanced at the lieutenant named Deng Tao and smiled: "Brother Deng." Have you ever seen the lieutenant general of Qiao Renjun. ”
"I've seen it"
He Qi continued: "Let's not mention Gan Xingba, who can compete with Taishi Ziyi. Let's just say that Huang Ce, Lu Dai and other generations under his command are not mortal, only one person, and his talent is not under my He Gongmiao, but he lacks experience. Even the scholar Dai Ziwei who Qiao Renxi said was familiar with the art of war and martial arts, as long as he cultivated more, he couldn't say that he was a young talent. There are so many extraordinary characters, but they are like Qiao Ren's arm, and Qiao Ren's talent can be seen. It is not enough to deal with the small mountain crossing. ”
"Report" When He Qi was talking to Deng Tao, he was waiting for a return. "General, there is a Yue man coming not far away."
"Oh?" He Qi had never expected the enemy to come so quickly. "No, it's not a soldier who has come to reclaim the water. I'm afraid I'm here to escort every drink of water. Thinking of this, He Qi had a plan in his heart, "Deng Tao obeyed the order and ordered you to take the new recruits of the Yue people under your command to the battle, and be sure to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, but not to kill them, and leave a few to report back." ”
After Deng Tao got the order, he pulled out the sword at his waist, "The left camp and the right camp come with me." ”
He Qi's move is very meaningful, not only to train the recruits and win the first battle, but also to nourish their spirits, and to leave a few people back to report the news, which can also mess up Jiao's square inches. The Yue people are not regular Han troops and do not have too many rules, some of the routs of the army will flee back will be widely publicized, the water source is cut off within half a day will spread all over the whole mountain of the village, when the people's hearts are moved, there will be a chance.
However, it is said that in the dense forest, the Yue warriors and He Qi's soldiers have already fought together, although the left and right battalions of He Qi have been trained by the Yue people for less than a year, but compared to the pure Yue people, it is already a lot higher. I saw that the He Qi army first had an archer ambushed in the tree, and then the five soldiers formed a small group and scattered to charge the Yue people, although the formation was a little chaotic, but at least it was purposeful. On the other hand, the Yue people were suddenly attacked, and in a panic, except for a small number who remained calm, the vast majority of them either rushed forward with a howl or ran back in shock.
The Vietnamese people basically fought by one breath, and if they fought well, they would win, and if they didn't go well, they would be defeated, and there was no rule at all. But Heqi's troops don't care whether you have rules or not, they are very aware of the habits of the Yue people to fight. The water transport troops who had been scorched by a fierce rush were dizzy, and there were only a thousand people who were rushed like this, and there were less than five hundred people who could fight. In less than a quarter of an hour, except for a few who escaped by deliberately letting the water out, the rest of them were all killed on the spot.
Deng Tao was dressed in a black iron armor and didn't even stick a little blood, and while inserting a small amount of blood on the sword, he replied to He Qi: "The last general will not fail in his mission, except for a few people who are sent back to report the news, the rest will be killed." ”
"Hmm" He Qi had no sadness or joy on his face when he heard this, after all, there was a lot of uncertainty in the battle of more and less bullying. "Pass my general order, and the scouts will be sent out for five miles. The soldiers were divided into five groups and took turns to serve on duty. ”
"Huh," the five lieutenants present all replied in unison.
"The rest of the generals each brought their troops and horses and set up camp in a dangerous place three miles away. All the timber is covered with wet mud, Deng Tao, you will bring another song of people to block this creek for me, and lead the canal to our station. He Qi then commanded
