Chapter 699: Who Lied to Whom (Part I)

Xingzhou, Zhou Tong, Yuan Fang, Shang Haibo and others took the urgent secret letter sent by Zhou Zuhao and Ouyang Gangqiang, looked at each other, and they all couldn't believe it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"We're going to have that good luck?" Zhou Tong shook the secret letter in his hand, "Li Qing will be in Yaque Ridge?" Still surrounded by us? ”

Shang Haibo was silent in thought, while Yuan Fang said excitedly: "This is an opportunity that is too good to be good. Defeat the Crowbird Ridge and capture Li Qing alive, and the world of Great Chu will be decided with one drum. ”

"Shousuke-sama?" Zhou Tong and Yuan Fang's gazes turned to Shang Haibo at the same time.

"Is it possible? Is it possible? Shang Haibo muttered, "Would Li Qing make such a mistake? ”

"A wise man will have a thousand thoughts, and a fool will have a gain!" Zhou Tonghuo stood up and said: "Lord Shoufu, Li Qing is a human, not a god, as the bridgehead of the Dingzhou army to attack Xingzhou, his existence has torn our Qinling defense line, so that the Qinling defense line I painstakingly built is broken in two, such a strategic focus, Li Qing attaches great importance to it, so it is natural to secretly inspect its place." It is precisely because of his secret inspection that he did not publicize it, but it showed the authenticity of this piece of information from another side, he did not expect that our attack would be so sudden, and besides, Ben Kuan changed the battle plan on his own, and even we didn't think of it, how could Li Qing think of it? ”

Yuan Fang looked at Zhou Tong, "General Zhou is ready to make a move?" ”

Zhou Tong nodded, "Yes, I'm ready to make a move, Ben Kuan can't stop Qinzhou's reinforcements, if Li Qing is really in Yaque Ridge, Guo Shanfeng will definitely come to support with a large army, if Guo Shanfeng arrives at Xiaoai River first, in an instant, Ben Kuan will be defeated, and Li Qing of Yaque Ling will be smoothly withdrawn." Such an opportunity is rare in a century, and if I miss it, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life. ”

"But if we send troops from Xingzhou, the distance will be farther, and we didn't expect this situation to occur before, and we didn't have the corresponding preparations, from the mobilization of the army to the arrival of the destination, it is impossible to catch up with the mountain wind in Qinzhou." Yuan Fangdao.

With a bang, Zhou Tong pulled over the map, and pointed his fingers heavily in one place, "Tiger Pavilion, I will transfer the soldiers and horses of Tiger Pavilion to Yaque Ridge." ”

"Wait!" Hearing the word Tiger Pavilion, Shang Haibo jumped up, his eyes staring at Tiger Pavilion, "Tiger Pavilion, by the way, it's Tiger Pavilion, I know, Li Qing is paying attention to this, he wants to fight Tiger Pavilion." ”

"What does Shousuke mean by that?" Zhou Tong stared at Shang Haibo.

"I know Li Qing." Shang Haibo muttered, "I know him, he will never inexplicably expose such a big flaw to us, he must want to fight the Tiger Pavilion, so he tried to ask us to mobilize the Tiger Pavilion army, as soon as the Tiger Pavilion army leaves, the Tiger Pavilion is empty, and it will inevitably give him a gap to break through, and as soon as the Tiger Pavilion goes, the Qinling defense line will completely collapse." The door of Xingzhou is wide open, we have no danger to defend, except for Xingzhou City, we will be forced to fight with the Dingzhou army in the field, field battle, this is the Dingzhou army's favorite mode of war. ”

Yuan Fang's body shook, and his face showed a look of horror, "Crowbird Ridge is a scam? Li Qing is not there at all? ”

"Quite possibly." Shang Haibo said: "Until now, we only know where Li Qing's personal guards are, what if it is a bureau that Li Qing specially set up for us?" So, we can't act rashly. It's better to wait and see what happens. ”

Zhou Tong hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Since this is the case, let's take a look at it again, Commander Yuan, the authenticity of this information, I also ask you to verify, if Li Qing is really there, I will give it a fight." ”

In the next two days, several bigwigs in Xingzhou were on pins and needles, and in the past two days, the intelligence gathered from all sides all showed that Li Qing was indeed in Yaqueling, which made Shang Haibo also a little uncertain.

"This is the intelligence sent by the secret agents in Dingzhou these days, and from the analysis of this information, Li Qing has not appeared in public in Dingzhou for a long time, which is a place that cannot be ignored. Second, Qinzhou's secret agents who monitored Guoshanfeng found that the communication between Dingzhou and Guoshanfeng suddenly increased greatly during this period of time, and more than a dozen messengers came and went every day. Third, the army that crossed the mountain wind began to move in large numbers, and there was only one main direction of movement, that is, the Xiaoai River, and the Chinese army that crossed the mountain wind was also moving to this area. Fourth, the Qi Nian division of Dingzhou Wang Qinian suddenly launched a fierce attack on Anfu Temple, and the intensity of its attack has made it difficult for the defenders of Anfu Temple to support, and they sent a letter of help to Song Kaige of Huting again and again. Fourth, the cavalry of the enemy's wing state battalion in Xiaoaihe has been attacking Benkuan's troops more and more intensely these days, and the pressure on Benkuan's troops has been unprecedented. Fifth, Yaque Ridge sent a secret letter again, this time not only the Iron Leopard, but also Li Wen and Li Wu went to the city to fight, which shows that Yaque Ridge has reached the stage of space danger, maybe we can add a little more force, it will be enough to defeat them. ”

"That's right!" Zhou Tong said loudly, "They stormed Anfu Temple in order to contain our Huting defenders so that they could not move in the direction of the Xiaoai River to support the two generals of Zhou and Ou, while their army could safely drive into the Xiaoai River, attack the Benkuan Department, and open the area of the Xiaoai River." ”

"Shousuke, this is a great opportunity, and we will never let it go." Zhou Zai turned to look at Shang Haibo with an unquestioning look in his eyes.

Shang Haibo hesitated for a while, this is indeed a good opportunity, but is this really an opportunity? "If the mountain wind to rescue the friendly army of Xiaoaihe is fake, and the attack on the Tiger Pavilion is real, we transfer Song Kaige, and the opponent's army suddenly appears in the Tiger Pavilion, what should we do?" Looking at Zhou Tong, he asked.

Zhou Tong grinned, "Shoufu is too worried, I have an army of 30,000 in the Tiger Pavilion, let Song Kaige take 20,000 people to attack the Yaque Ridge, and leave 10,000 people to guard the Tiger Pavilion, now there are more than 30,000 people in the Yaque Ridge, and the defenders there are already at the end of the strong crossbow, at this time, even adding a straw up is enough to crush them." Besides, now it can be determined that Li Qing is in Yaque Ridge, so even if Guo Shanfeng really wants to fight my Tiger Pavilion, it is just a race for time between the two of us, then it depends on whether they break the Tiger Pavilion first, or we take Yaque Ridge first, as long as we take Yaque Ridge and capture Li Qing, even if we lose the Tiger Pavilion and the entire Qinling defense line, what about it? We've made a lot of money, too. ”

Shang Haibo was silent, as Zhou Tong said, if Li Qing could really be captured, then even if the entire Qinling defense line was lost, it would be a big profit for Luoyang.

"Now that General Zhou has made up his mind, I won't say much, but I must ask General Song Kaige to pay attention to safety, the aconitum in the upper reaches of the Xiaoai River is dammed by the opponent to store water, even if it takes a while longer, we must guard against the opponent's water attack." Shanghai Wave Road.

Zhou Tong laughed, "Shoufu, please rest assured, veteran Song Kaige, how can he be deceived by such a clumsy trick, come and pass on my military orders." ”

After Zhou Tong finished arranging, Shang Haibo put the matter aside, since the military order has been issued, everything is a foregone conclusion, and he doesn't have to worry about it, after all, this is still Zhou Tong's own territory.

"Since Xingzhou is ready to do a big job, then, we can quietly take advantage of some advantages on another battlefield, presumably everyone's eyes will be on here now, this is our good opportunity, Commander Yuan, General Zhou has made a big plan here, and we should also go." Shang Haibo said with a smile.

Zhou Tong said in surprise: "Lord Shoufu, Lord Yuan, now that the Yaque Ridge is about to win, don't you wait for the results here to come out before leaving?" ”

Shang Haibo shook his head and said with a smile: "If Lord Zhou's side can do the whole thing, and the Great Chu Ding will be just around the corner, then in a few other places, we will also have to launch it as soon as possible to match the results obtained here." If Dingzhou loses Li Qing, although it goes to the backbone, but the strength still exists, and Li Qing has a son to inherit, presumably the state will inevitably support Li Qing's son to succeed to the throne and continue to rebel against the imperial court, we will naturally strike while the iron is hot, and defeat the Shanfeng Group in one fell swoop, this is the largest military group under Li Qing's command, and if he is defeated, Dingzhou will be sucked out of the backbone. Time is running out! ”

Zhou Tong suddenly realized, "It turns out that Lord Shoufu is going to Minzhou?" ”

Shang Haibo smiled and nodded.

Zhou Tong said admiringly: "The injuries on the two adults have not healed, so they worry about the country and work hard, Zhou Tong admires it." ”

Shang Yuan and the two left Xingzhou, after sending away Shang Yuan and the two, Zhou Tong also immediately began to mobilize all the garrisons in Xingzhou, and set off to the Qinling defense line, if the Yaque Ridge was successful, it would inevitably be faced with the crazy attack of the military group on Xingzhou, if it was really as Shang Haibo said, the loss of the Tiger Pavilion would also be a big loss for Xingzhou, and he must minimize this loss. Mobilize the troops belonging to Xingzhou and rush to the Qinling defense line to support the defenders there.

"Shoufu, can Zhou Tong succeed this time?" On the way, Yuan Fang asked.

Shang Haibo was silent for a long time, "It's up to people to make things happen, it's up to heaven to make things happen, this kind of thing, how can you say it accurately, you can only watch while doing it, but no matter what, as long as Song Kaige's troops don't have any major incidents, there will be no big revelations on the Qinling defense line, even if there is a problem, it won't be too big?" ”

Yuan Fang was taken aback, "Lord Shoufu doesn't have confidence in Zhou Tong's trip?" ”

Shang Haibo smiled bitterly, "Lord Yuan, what do you say?" If according to my intuition, Li Qing's loopholes this time are really a little suspicious, you know, Li Qing has always not allowed his senior generals to charge ahead, how can he easily put himself in danger, but Lord Yuan, my current identity is indeed a bit special, General Zhou has already paid attention, if I am bent on objecting, I really missed such an opportunity, not only General Zhou will be angry, the court, including His Majesty the Emperor, will be suspicious of me, I can only tell them to be careful, Especially Song Kaige, there must be no problems. ”

Yuan Fang was silent, Shang Haibo said well, he served as the first assistant, although there were several bigwigs who supported him, and His Majesty the emperor personally appointed him, but among the civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives and relatives, there were not a few voices of opposition.

"Forget it, don't talk about these things, Lord Yuan, speaking of which, this secret weapon that injured us this time is really powerful, this thing reminds me that a long time ago, Li Qing once told me that he was working on a weapon, thinking about what he said to me at the beginning, I can't help but be deeply vigilant!" Shang Haibo changed the subject.

Yuan Fang nodded and said: "This time, the assassination weapon of the Dingzhou Supervision Institute is indeed powerful, it is not a martial art that can be resisted at all, and I don't know what it is, it has such great power?" ”

Shang Haibo said: "The power is amazing, Lord Yuan, have you thought about it, if this kind of thing is suddenly used on a large scale and thrown into our army when the two armies are facing each other, what will happen?" ”

Yuan Fang pulled the war horse and settled it in the local area, "Shoufu, can this kind of thing be made on a large scale?" ”

"I don't know." Shang Hai Pole stopped his war horse, "When I was in Dingzhou, Li Qing once told me that he was working on a weapon, which he called a hot weapon, and he said that if he succeeded, he would change the battle mode on this continent. It seems that over the years, they have finally achieved something. ”

"What kind of weapon is this?" Yuan Fang asked in surprise.

Shang Haibo shook his head, "I don't know, this kind of thing has been in charge of security by Qingfeng since it appeared, except for the craftsmen who studied and the personnel in charge of security, outsiders don't know at all, you also know that I have always been at odds with Qingfeng, I have only heard of this thing, I have never known the details, as for what it is, I still need Lord Yuan to investigate it in detail." ”

Yuan Fang nodded, "This matter must be investigated, otherwise once the opponent is put into use on a large scale, it will inevitably become a disaster for us." Li Qing, when he is the dragon in the real person, I don't know how he came up with these things? ”

Shang Haibo smiled bitterly.

In the foothills along the Xiaoai River, an army dragged out a long marching team, difficult to wade on the difficult mountain path, from time to time there will be soldiers or horses stumbling down the mountain, falling beyond recognition, this marching team is stationed in the Tiger Pavilion Song Kaige Department, after receiving the order of General Zhou Tong, this army immediately pulled out, put the spacious valley avenue of the Xiaoai River and did not go, and take this difficult path, it is because the aconitum in the upper reaches of the Xiaoai River was dammed by the opponent to store water, in order to flood the three armies, it can only pick this road, If you can walk thirty or fifty miles a day, you can count it as fast.

It is already the hot season, although the mountains are slightly cool, but at this time to hurry, it is still miserable for the soldiers, the generals have horses to carry the armor, ordinary soldiers do not have this kind of treatment, this kind of weather, cover the armor on the outside of the clothes, give the sun a sun, that taste can only be experienced by myself. But the armor is never lost, as soon as they go to the battlefield, this is another life of the soldiers, many people take off their inner clothes, and wear a suit of armor to hurry.

"General Song!" While wiping the sweat beads on his face, he walked to the side of Song Kaige, who was resting on the side of the road, on this kind of trail, he didn't dare to ride immediately, he could only lead, and Song Kaige, who was the commander of the army, could only rely on two legs to hurry.

"What's the matter?" Song Kaige is a family of generals, from the first reading and literacy, can be regarded as a rare member of the Confucian general, at this time, a face is also full of sweat beads, but it is still neatly dressed, although a few strands of long beard are drenched with sweat, it can still be seen that it has been carefully combed.

"There's news from the scouts." Waiting for the road.

"Say!"

"A day ago, the Yizhou battalion launched another attack on General Ben Kuan's headquarters, this time the attack was extremely intense, the two sides fought fiercely for a long time, Ben Kuan's headquarters suffered great losses, and I heard that there was already a battalion that had completely lost its combat effectiveness." Waiting for the road.

"Ben Kuan's department itself is not elite enough, and it is already beyond my expectations to be able to block the cavalry of the Yizhou battalion for many days, and it is expected that the heavy losses will be heavy." Song Kaige nodded.

"General Ben Kuan sent a message through the scout, saying that he really couldn't stand it anymore and asked us to speed up the march." Waiting for the road.

Song Kaige glanced at Hou Fang, "How can we speed up?" At this pace of marching, we have done our best. ”

"Yes, we can't take the big road, there is really no way to take such a small road, but General Ben Kuan, how can we reply?" Waiting for the road.

Song Kaige groaned: "It's also difficult for him, tell him that no matter how heavy the loss is, he must withstand it, this time it is a great success, I will invite the general, he is the first credit." ”

"Yes, and news from the other side."

"Where is the mountain wind in Qinzhou?" Song Kaige's spirits lifted.

"Yes, it has now been ascertained that the vanguard of the Qinzhou army is the Hailing battalion, although this army set off later than us, their speed is much faster than ours, if the two sides are at this speed, they will reach the Xiaoai River area before us."

Song Kaige smiled bitterly, "So what, we can only believe that Ben Kuan can withstand it, unless we go to the Xiaoai River Valley, but do we dare to go, unless the other party is dizzy, at this time, we will dig a dam and release water, so that we can avoid the pain of hanging a sword above our heads?" ”

Hou Fang groaned: "General Song, we can deceive our opponent!" ”

"Liar, what do you say?" Song Kaige looked at Hou Fang.

"We have organized all the logistical baggage and a small number of soldiers into a team, so that they can pretend to be our large army and go through the river valley, while we hide in the mountains, so as to deceive the opponent to dig a dam and release water, as soon as the water is released, our main force can rush along the river valley road without any scruples, and within a day or two, we can reach the Xiaoai River battle line, arrive in front of the opponent's Hailing camp, and take Yaque Ridge in one fell swoop."

"In this way, our logistics baggage and this part of the soldiers can be ......" Song Kaige hesitated.

"General, this is the only way to get ahead of our opponents!" Hou Fang persuaded.

"That's it, Ci is not in charge of the army, for the sake of the final victory, I can only do this." Song Kaige sighed, "You go and arrange it!" ”

"Yes!" Hou Fang said excitedly.

After noon, a carefully disguised army appeared in the valley of the Xiaoai River, from a distance, the size of this army was full of twenty or thirty thousand people, as soon as this army appeared in the valley, it advanced towards the Xiaoai River at a very fast speed, and at this time, Song Kaige's main force was hidden in the foothills, waiting nervously.
