Chapter 414: Pine Forest Town (1)
Pei Renji didn't wait for his cronies to bring Pei Shan back, he walked into Li Xian's big tent with apprehension, and subconsciously looked left and right, but he didn't find anything abnormal. Qin Qiong and several generals were talking in a low voice, Ye Huaisleeve was standing on the side, smiling, and Wang Qinian stood beside her and talked endlessly, causing Ye Huaisleeve to smile.
Seeing this scene, Bae In-ki breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked to his place and stopped. Qin Qiong and the others greeted him with a smile, still cordial and gentle, but Pei Renji didn't know what was wrong with him, looking at the smiling faces of Qin Qiong and the others, he always felt a little sarcastic and hateful.
Li Xian hadn't come yet, looking at the still empty seat in the middle, Pei Renji's nervousness became more and more intense, he wanted to find something to talk about, wanted to talk to other people to relieve his mood, to hide his uneasiness, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
Qin Qiong saw that his face was a little ugly, and asked him if he hadn't rested well. Pei Renji hurriedly explained a few words, saying that he really didn't sleep much all night thinking about the war.
Qin Qiong smiled and said take it easy, the lord has already made arrangements, and Wagangzhai is not worried.
This sentence was obviously nothing, just a very ordinary consolation, but it changed in Pei Renji's ears, and he always felt that Qin Qiong's words meant something else.
When he was nervous, Li Xian walked into the big tent. More than two dozen generals and above immediately stood up straight, and then gave a standard military salute. Li Xian returned the military salute, and then sat down on the chair in the center. Pei Renji peeked and saw that Li Xian had already put on his armor, his face was calm, and he didn't look at himself too much. It's just that he can't calm down in his heart, so he didn't even notice that his right hand was unconsciously placed on the hilt of the knife, clenched so tightly.
Li Xian glanced at everyone and said: "In the evening of the day before yesterday, the secret spy of the Flying Tiger Fifth Department sent the news urgently, Zhai Rang, the big boss of Wagang Village, used the golden cicada to bypass Chen Que'er's sailor, and the day and night march has been copied behind Xiong Kuohai, when the secret spy came to the news, Xiong Kuohai and Yu Wenshi have already fought two battles with Zhai Rang, although both battles were won, killing more than 10,000 enemies, but Zhai Rang cut off the connection between the Xiongkuohai Department and Juye Zeben Village, and cut off the grain route of Xiongkuohai, the situation is very urgent. ”
"Therefore, I plan to return to the army immediately to rescue the vast sea. Because this matter is too abrupt and important, I didn't mention it to any of you, for fear that it will affect the morale of the army, and if the soldiers know that the rear is unstable and the morale of the army is weakened, this battle will not be easy to fight. ”
Li Xian glanced at Pei Renji and said: "Pei Renji, I asked you to lead troops every day to beg Li Mi to call for battle in front of the army, in order to confuse Li Mi, we must not let Li Mi see about the withdrawal of the army, otherwise the army will inevitably have a lot of losses." ”
"My subordinates understand!"
Pei Renji leaned over and said.
He shuddered in his heart, but soon calmed down again. He said in his heart that what he had done should be hidden, otherwise Li Xian would not explain anything to himself.
Li Xian said to Qin Qiong again: "The army must be pulled out and evacuated immediately, and the matter after the break is the top priority. I'm going to let you lead the army to suppress the rear team, you think carefully about what you need, and you bring it up today, and I will find a way to help you solve it. Whether it's a lack of troops, or armor, food and grass, I will make it up for you. ”
Qin Qiong hugged his fists and said: "Although the lord orders, his subordinates all obey his orders!" ”
Li Xian hummed and said: "Now although our Yanyunzhai has begun to take shape, we have won a lot of battles in the past two years, and the enemies in the three counties of Dongping County, Qi County, and Lu County have all been cleaned up, and there has never been a defeat. Therefore, I overestimated our own strength a little, and with the current strength of our stockade, it is not enough to start a war on three fronts. ”
"Li Mi in the west, Wang Fubao and Zhai Rang in the north, and Wang Bo in the east."
Li Xian sighed and said: "Now our Yanyunzhai battle line is too long, spread too wide, divide the troops and fight the forces are scattered, this strategy was wrong from the beginning." I have been thinking about how to defeat all the enemies for the past two days, and after thinking about it, I still feel that it is indeed a bit wishful thinking to try to defeat the invading enemy on the three fronts at the same time. Therefore, I plan to withdraw my forces, concentrate on holding the foundation of Dongping County, and then look for opportunities to break through each one. ”
"If you have any objections, you can also say so."
Li Xian looked at his generals and said.
The generals below looked at each other, and no one knew that things would develop to this point. These generals in Yanyunzhai are all arrogant, and now when they hear Li Xian say that they want to retire, they will inevitably feel a little difficult to accept. But if you think about it carefully, what Li Xian said is true. When the war started on three fronts, the forces were too scattered to achieve complete success in one battle against the enemy, and the war could only drag on for a long time.
The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for Yanyunzhai.
Li Xian saw that everyone had no objections, so he said: "Qin Qiong, after you lead the people and horses of the headquarters, I will give you another 2,000 cavalry, which way we go back to Juyeze, and I will tell you later." ”
Qin Qiong hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates obey orders." ”
Li Xian hummed and said: "Wang Qinian, your baggage battalion must set off first, and you can't fall behind the team, if you think about it, if there is anything unsafe, I will solve it for you." ”
Wang Qinian hurriedly came out and said: "Lord, all the baggage goods have been loaded and can be shipped at any time, but ...... It's just that there are too few soldiers and horses in my baggage battalion, there are only 3,000 people in total, and it is really a bit overwhelming to escort the carts and divide the troops before and after. ”
Li Xian snorted, frowned slightly and pondered for a while.
"Bae In-ki!"
Li Xian suddenly shouted.
Pei Renji was startled, and his heart jumped violently. He hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, clenched his fists and bowed and said, "The subordinates are here." ”
Li Xian ordered: "I plan to transfer your cavalry headquarters to Qin Qiong to supplement the troops for the rear of the army." ”
When Pei Renji heard this, the fear that had just been suppressed in his heart came out irrepressibly. His hand subconsciously touched the hilt of the knife again, hanging his head, hiding the frightened look on his face. There are more than 2,000 cavalry under his command, all of them are real elite soldiers, and more than 2,000 cavalry were all deprived by Li Xian at once, and the first thing he thought of was whether this was a signal that Li Xian wanted to attack him.
Just thinking about it, I heard Li Xian continue: "I will allocate 2,000 men and horses from the new barracks to you, and you will lead the troops to protect the baggage battalion and retreat first, and you must not make a mistake, understand?" ”
"Huh?"
Pei Renji was surprised for a moment, and immediately lowered his head and hugged his fists and said, "Subordinates obey orders!" ”
Ha ha!
Pei Renji was happy in his heart, and said in his heart, Li Xian, why are you so idiotic under the military order today? Let me go and protect the baggage battalion and evacuate first, okay, this errand is simply very good!
……
……
Pei Renji personally went to the recruit camp to pick 2,000 people, although these people have been training in Juye Zebenzhai for more than a year, but it is the first time to go to the battlefield, and there has been no decisive battle after arriving in Leize, so the less than 10,000 people in the new barracks have not had the opportunity to fight at all.
Can't go into battle to kill the enemy, some people are depressed and some are happy, the depressed feel that they have lost a chance to make a contribution, and the happy people are glad that they don't have to fight, and they can still live a little longer in a down-to-earth and stable way. No matter how well a recruit is trained, if he doesn't really experience a few bloody battles, doesn't have a few lives on his hands, and doesn't see much death in his eyes, he still can't transform into a real elite after all.
Pei Renji's more than 2,000 subordinates were transferred by Li Xian to supply Qin Qiong, Pei Renji should be depressed and angry, but he didn't show any unhappy appearance.
Because Bae In-ki is really not unhappy, on the contrary, he is extremely happy.
The more than 2,000 cavalry under his command are all veterans of the original Yanyunzhai, these people are loyal to Li Xian, even if he gives him more favors, he will not be able to buy them all. For a general, commanding the army under his command cannot be done like an arm, which is definitely not a good thing for a general. The recruits are different, they have never been on the battlefield, they have never seen a dead person, and they have never had blood on their hands, so they are particularly dependent on the generals, and Pei Renji is happy that these recruits are easy to control.
The recruits have no experience and don't know the complexities and dangers of the battlefield, Pei Renji only needs to assign his own personal soldiers to be a low-level officer like a brigade leader and a lieutenant, so soon, this team can be firmly grasped by him. Having an army that is absolutely loyal to oneself is undoubtedly the happiest thing in these troubled times. Two thousand people, it's not much, but if you leave Yanyunzhai in the future, you can be regarded as having some capital in your hands.
So after he was busy selecting two thousand recruits, he suddenly remembered that Pei Shan had not come back yet.
He instructed one of his cronies to take a few people to search the woods over there, but before the people left, Li Xian sent someone to urge him to go on the road. The men and horses of the baggage battalion have been drawn one after another, how can he, the new general of the grain guard, still rely on it?
In desperation, Pei Renji arranged for someone to go to Pei Shan, and at the same time ordered the army to be deployed.
After the wagon convoy of the baggage battalion left the camp one after another, Pei Renji led 2,000 recruits to the front of the convoy. When passing through a wood, he sent a few of his own soldiers to take advantage of the chaos to leave the team and secretly went to Wagangzhai under the pretext of letting the soldiers go in search to prevent someone from ambushing.
Although Pei Shan didn't rush back, which made him feel a little uneasy, Li Xian's trust still made him feel a lot more at ease. He knew that Li Xian was a person who couldn't rub sand in his eyes, and if he found out that someone was rebelling, he was afraid that he would be cut straight away, since Li Xian let himself lead his men and horses to protect the most important baggage camp, it showed that he was not suspicious of himself.
A few of his own soldiers were hidden in the woods, and after the large group of men and horses drove over, they immediately rode out of the woods and ran towards Wagangzhai.
And at this time, the soldiers and horses in Li Mi's camp had been assembled.
Li Mi personally led the men and horses to attack, because Wang Bodang was seriously injured, he ordered to send people to send him back to Wagangzhai to recuperate, so he sent Wang Junke and Li Wenxiang as the vanguard, led the army of 10,000 first, he brought 60,000 troops as the middle army, divided into five armies, the front and back, the left and right armies, the front and rear left and right four armies are 5,000 men and horses, and the Chinese army is 40,000. Zhang Qian, the general of the former army, Meng Rang, the general of the left army, Hu Donkey, the general of the right army, and Hao Xiaode, the general of the rear army. His confidant Zhang Liang led an army of 20,000 to respond.
Li Mi sat on the platform, and scouts kept returning to deliver the news from Yanyunzhai. He just waited for Li Xian's army to be exhausted, and then immediately led the army to chase after him. The reason why he didn't rush to pursue immediately was because he was waiting for the most important person to send back the most important news.
Just after the rear team led by Qin Qiong on the side of Yanyunzhai left the camp, the personal soldiers sent by Pei Renji to see Li Mi also rushed to the Wagangzhai camp.
Li Mi listened to what the pro-soldiers said, looked at the map in front of him and nodded.
"Songlin Town, there is a road of more than ten miles that is the most suitable, Pei Renji is very good at choosing a place. One side of this road is Songlin Lake, and the other side is a dense forest, if Pei Renji cuts off the road in front, the people and horses of the rear team of Yanyunzhai will not be able to pass at all! Li Xian actually sent Pei Renji to protect the baggage camp, God help me! Pinewoods ...... It's a good place, it's a good battlefield, it's a good grave. ”
He stood up, pointed to the front with a feather fan, and ordered loudly: "Go!" ”
