Chapter 479: Running back and forth for thousands of miles

Even the best and most outstanding military strategists can't make the team of 30,000 people disappear out of thin air, day and night can make the scouts under Dou Jiande's command who look around can't figure out the situation, and the detailed arrangement and guidance before the secret spy can save the team a lot of unnecessary trouble, but this can't really disappear, the team of 30,000 people can't leave any traces, even if it flies, it will form a large dark cloud in the sky, let alone go?

Therefore, Li Xian never proudly thought that even if he took 30,000 people to travel leisurely on the ground in Hebei, he would not be discovered, there was no invisibility cloak in this world, and even if there were, he couldn't hide his footprints. What he wanted to do was just to make the defenders of the counties and counties in Hebei panic and make them fearful, but he didn't know what Yan Yunjun's next plan was.

If you want to hide your tracks, it is best to go through the mountains and forests, but after getting out of those hills, it is basically a flat river, and it is impossible to find a mountain forest to hide. But even so, the defenders of the counties on the north bank of the Yellow River under Dou Jiande still couldn't touch the traces of Yan Yunjun.

On the third day of August, the scouts sent by Cui Zhao, the county commander of Wuyang County, Wuyang County, found traces of a large army marching in the west of Wuyang County, which seemed to be a very large team marching from south to north, and it was very likely that it was the men and horses of Yanyunzhai, and the target should be the county governor of Wuyang County. Cui Zhao found out about the news and didn't dare to delay, so he sent someone to Guixiang to deliver the news in the starry night, and sent someone to report the news to Zhouzhou.

In the first year of the opening of the Great Sui Dynasty, Emperor Gaozuwen of the Great Sui Dynasty Yang Jian abolished Wu'an County, and Zhaozhou belonged to Guangping County. After the Emperor Yang Guang ascended the throne, in the third year of the Great Cause, the title of Zhaozhou was abolished, and the original Wu'an County was changed to Yongnian County in order to avoid secrecy, and Yang Guang restored Wu'an County, and Yongnian County was still the county seat of Wu'an County. However, after Dou Jiande occupied this place, he was still called Zhaozhou, which was the capital of Daxia and the foundation of Dou Jiande.

Wu'an County is adjacent to Wuyang County, if Yan Yunjun crosses the Mache River all the way north, it can directly approach Wuyang County to govern Guixiang, once Guixiang is lost, Yan Yunjun can drive straight into Zhizhou. Between Guixiang and Feizhou, there are only two counties of Qingzhang and Feixiang, so it can be said that if Guixiang is lost, Zhaozhou will be in danger.

Cui Zhao was born in the Cui family of Boling, and has been influenced by a big family since he was a child, although he is just a child from a side lineage, but his knowledge is not comparable to ordinary children of poor families. After a few years of county order in Wuyang County, not only the handling of government affairs in an orderly manner, but also the affairs of military affairs are quite insightful, and even the county of Wuyang County, Cheng Jinyang, a person who was born as a military general, is full of praise for it.

Cui Zhao judged that Yan Yunjun was very likely to wipe Wuyang County to the north, and then cross the river in a place where the water of the Mache River was gentle, and enter Shalu Mountain to approach Guixiang City. At the same time, he sent people to Yuancheng County and asked Li Yimo, the county commander of Yuancheng County, and Li Cheng, the county commander, to make preparations as soon as possible.

Cheng Jin Yang of Wuyang County was born in the military, and once served as a deputy general under Dou Jiande's fierce general Cheng Mingzhen, and later Cheng Mingzhen was named the county guard of Wei County by Dou Jiande, and he was also transferred from the army to serve in Wei County, and then Cheng Mingzhen was ordered to be detained and imprisoned by Dou Jiande together with Wang Fubao because he was involved in Wang Fubao's case. In order to protect himself, Jin Yang made money to buy off several high-ranking officials in Weizhou and transferred them out of Wei County, but to serve in Wuyang County, which was farther away from Weizhou.

Seeing Wang Fubao, the general who was once the most trusted by King Xia, being arrested, and seeing his boss General Cheng Mingzhen being arrested, Jin Yang understood a truth, that is, the closer he was to the emperor, the more dangerous it was, he was unwilling to work in Wei County, which was close to Zhaozhou, and would rather hide farther away, even if the official position was lower. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, General Wang Fubao used to be the first powerful person in the army, and General Cheng Mingzhen was once praised by King Xia as a prime minister.

But after all, he was born in the military, and when he followed Cheng Mingzhen, he also fought thirty or fifty battles, and the man's blood has never been extinguished, and now that a strong enemy has entered, he knows that relying on the thousands of soldiers and horses in Wuyang County to win the Yanyun Army is tantamount to a fool's dream, but he will never pretend to be a turtle with a shrunken head. He couldn't face it head-on, but out of the pride of the general, he knew he had to do something.

So, he discussed with Cui Zhao, and personally led the men and horses of Wuyang County into more than a dozen teams, looking for the whereabouts of Yan Yunjun day and night.

But who knows that the whereabouts of Yan Yunjun have not been found, nor have they found that Yan Yunjun crossed the river and continued to go north, on the fourth day when Jin Yang personally led the troops to search, he suddenly got the news that Linhuang County, which was hundreds of miles southwest of Wuyang County, was conquered, and Yan Yunjun did not go north at all, but made the illusion of going north and suddenly went all the way to the southwest, and conquered Linhuang in less than half a day, and looted the grain and grass in Linhuang City.

Jin Yang immediately sent scouts to Linhuang to inquire about the news, and he speculated that the generals led by the Yanyun army must have noticed that Guixiang had been prepared, and then changed the itinerary, first hitting Linhuang, and then entering Wei County along the line of Guancheng, Dunqiu, and Neihuang, because these counties are all close to the Yellow River, once the Yanyun army's march is blocked, they can cross the river at any time by relying on the powerful sailors to go back.

As a qualified soldier, Jin Yang had to admire the courage of the generals of the Yanyun Army.

……

……

After returning to the county seat of Wuyang County, Jin Yang immediately went to the county magistrate Cui Zhao to discuss. He told Cui Zhao about his speculation, and Cui Zhao also agreed with it. Cui Zhao hurriedly sent people to Zhaozhou, he was worried that because the news that he had sent people to Zhaozhou had misled the defenders of Zhaozhou, he was worried that Song Zhengben, who stayed in Zhaozhou, had already sent troops to Guixiang, and if the defenders of Wei County were transferred to help Wuyang County, he would fall into the trick of the Yanyun army.

Song Zhengben is a strict but rigid person, because Dou Jiande highly respects him, so this person acts quite arrogantly, Cui Zhao and Jin Yang are worried that if Song Zhengben has already transferred troops to aid Wuyang County, once Wei County is wantonly trampled on by Yan Yunjun because of the lack of troops, the return of King Xia to Song Zhengben in the future will definitely put the blame on the two of them.

Just after they sent the urgent letter to Zhaozhou, there was news that after the Yanyun army conquered Linhuang, it really did not stop and immediately attacked Guancheng, only less than 2,000 defenders Guancheng naturally could not stop tens of thousands of Yanyun army elites, only resisted for less than a day before being breached, the county order, the county Cheng were all killed, and the rest of the defenders surrendered.

This news confirmed Jin Yang's speculation, and the next goal of Yan Yun's army was very likely to be to conquer Dunqiu and enter Wei County, and then go all the way north after attacking Neihuang, crossing Zhangshui to attack Zhaozhou. Or continue to the west, you must know that after conquering Dunqiu, the Yanyun army is not far from Liyangcang!

Although Liyang Cang is actually controlled by the men and horses of Wagangzhai now, if Yan Yunjun takes away the grain and grass supplies, it will be even more unscrupulous.

Jin Yang looked at the black line marked on the map, frowned slightly, and said: "I don't know who the general of the Yanyun Army who led the troops this time is, he is very confident in running thousands of miles." It is rumored that Li Xian, the king of Yan, personally led his troops, but I guess it may not be big. Wang Shang is now leading an army to attack Juyeze in Dongping County, how can Li Xian come to Hebei if he doesn't sit in the foundation land? Unless he's a reckless man! ”

"How could a reckless man achieve such an achievement!"

Cui Zhao sighed: "I estimate that even if Li Xian is not in Dongping County, he is still on the way back to Juyeze from Lei Ze, and it is impossible for him to come to Hebei in person." I heard that Qin Shubao, the general under Li Xian, was the best at running, and when he was in Qi County, this person only led hundreds of light horsemen and ran for thousands of miles, and solved the crisis of Beihai County being besieged by 100,000 righteous troops. ”

"If that's the person, be careful."

Jin Yang nodded and said, "I have also heard of the name of Qin Shubao, and he and Luo Shixin were Zhang Xutuo's right-hand men at the beginning. Zhang Xutuo is known as General Yum, and he is not unrelated to these two. ”

"Fortunately, I didn't come to our Wuyang County!"

Cui Zhao smiled bitterly: "If Qin Qiong leads the army to attack, how can we hold it with these thousand people in our hands?" ”

"Brother Xincheng rest assured!"

Jin Yang comforted: "Guancheng is no less than six or seven hundred miles away from our Wuyang County, even if Qin Qiong has wings, it is impossible to fly over." ”

"If not, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Cui Zhao sighed and said: "I really can't imagine that Li Xian would have such a big hand, while making enemies of Wagangzhai, he also stretched out his hand to our Hebei." Unless you have great courage, you can't do such things. ”

"Or maybe it's a frivolous lunatic!"

Jin Yang didn't have a good impression of Li Xian, he always felt that this person's current status had a lot to do with the fact that he took advantage of Zhang Xutuo's attack on Wagangzhai to seize the land of Qilu. It's not a place that is beaten down with a knife and a shot by real skills, and for those who stand on a high place, those who look up will inevitably be jealous.

"It's not early, let's go back and rest."

Cui Zhao smiled and said, "At least now we don't have to worry about Wuyang County not being able to defend it." ”

"Haha!"

Jin Yang smiled: "It's rare for Brother Xincheng to be free and easy. ”

He was just about to turn around to say goodbye, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. Before he could send someone out to check, a bloody gourd-like Xia military captain staggered in and shouted in a panic: "Oh no! My lord, it's not good! Yan Yunjun has conquered the West Gate and entered the city! ”

"Impossible!"

Jin Yang's face changed suddenly, and he grabbed the captain's front and asked angrily: "Yan Yunjun is nearly thousands of miles away, how can it be that he has come to our Wuyang County!" ”

"That's right......"

The lieutenant said in horror: "The subordinates look good, the red flag, the black leather armor, the number is no less than tens of thousands!" ”

"This ...... How can it be? ”

Cui Zhao's face also became extremely ugly and said: "A few days ago, I was still watching the city, and the news that the city was breached came back, why did Yan Yunjun arrive?" ”

Just when the two people were surprised and frightened, a torch suddenly lit up outside the gate of the county office, and a large group of soldiers wearing black fine armor broke in, and those officials were cut down like cutting melons and vegetables without blocking it for a few minutes, and the county government was surrounded, and a burly general wearing iron armor stepped in, this person was strong, his face was slightly yellow, and he looked at Cui Zhao and Jin Yang when he entered the door, and looked forward to it with a sense of might.

"You...... Who are you? ”

Jin Yang asked after swallowing hard and spitting.

"Qin Qiong, the vanguard general under the command of King Yan, Wuyang City has been broken, you two, how are you ready?"
