Chapter 43: The Importance of Tingxian County

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

"Hold on, brethren, hold on."

On February 22 of the second year of Jianning, Liu Ju, who learned that Dangli had lost, hurriedly ordered the Changguang Yan army to attack Tingxian, intending to force the soldiers of Dangli Qingzhou to return to defense.

It was a difficult move for 20,000 rebels to attack Tingxian with 3,000 county soldiers, but in order to save the defeat, Liu Ju sent 20,000 troops from the rear.

In this way, there were 40,000 troops of the rebels attacking Tingxian, and Tingxian was suddenly in danger, and three urgent documents were sent to Dangli, where Dong Pet was located.

Dangli County Ya.

Dong Pet looked at Tingxian's distress documents, rubbed his head and said, "Mr. Wenhe, why don't we wait for the cavalry to be sent to Tingxian first!" Otherwise, it will be a mistake for the county. It can be unimpeded in the North Sea, and it can also be surrounded by dangli. The land of the county must not be unimportant! ”

Jia Xu listened to Dong Pet's words, kept comparing on the map, and then said, "General, if you send the cavalry, then you will lose the profits." ”

"Mr. Wenhe, please speak clearly."

"We don't know the exact number of rebels, but we are located in Dangli, which is the closest to Huang County, the former East Lai Zhi Office, where they are based, so how can they not have a large army to garrison? Without the advantage of cavalry, how can you block the attack of the opposing army? ”

Dong Pet thought about it, and also felt that what Jia Xu said was reasonable, and then hesitated and said, "But the county has to be saved!" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's right, so the general should order General Xu Rongxu to send 20,000 troops to it, which is the closest to Tingxian County, so it is the best policy." ”

"Who is the anti-army in that county? That's 50,000 rebels! ”

"Hehe" Jia Xu chuckled, and then said, "General Xu Rong has a total of 50,000 troops, even if 20,000 are divided, there will still be 30,000 troops, 30,000 troops plus the danger of the city, and only 50,000 anti-troops are not to be feared." ”

Dong Zhong immediately ordered: "Okay, order the cavalry captain Xu Rong to send 20,000 troops to rescue Tingxian County." ”

When Xu Rong received Dong Chong's order, it was already noon on February 23 in the second year of Jianning.

And at this time, the county was in the middle of the county.

Lieutenant Beihai staggered to the gate, looked at the seriously injured soldiers around him, and suddenly felt that his eyes were black, and he hit his head on the wall, and his forehead was blood-red.

"General". The guards beside him hurriedly stepped forward to help Lieutenant Beihai up.

At this time, a deep voice said on the side: "I wonder if the general can send a messenger?" ”

Lieutenant Beihai looked up and saw that it was Wang Yun, the prime minister of Beihai. (In history, Wang Yun has never been the minister of Beihai, and the plot needs it.) )

Then he said with a short breath: "The last general has already sent three messengers to inform General Dong Chong. ”

Wang Yun's face changed and he said, "Have you ever sent a messenger to Captain Xu Rong?" ”

Lieutenant Beihai was stunned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "The commander of this expedition is General Dong Chong, why did he send a messenger to Xu Rongna." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Yun knew that Lieutenant Beihai didn't look down on Xu Rong, a young but cavalry lieutenant of the same level.

But at this time, the war is in full swing, how can we care about such small things and ignore the overall situation?

So Wang Yun said sharply: "You are confused! The reason why the rebels attacked Tingxian was to encircle Dangli, where General Dong Chong was located. Tingxian is like a nail in the territory of Donglai, if Tingxian loses, it will not only send half of Beihai into the enemy's hands. ”

"I will also lose the foothold of the imperial army to counterattack and rebel! If Tingxian loses, the imperial court will have to lose tens of thousands of troops to recover the defeat. ”

Lieutenant Beihai rested for a while, his complexion was much better, and when he heard this, he said, "What does this have to do with asking Xu Rong for help?" ”

"What a stupid one! Dangli is as important to Donglai as Tingxian is to Beihai. If we wait for the arrival of the northern army that supports Youzhou. The imperial army could send troops from Dangli and go straight to Huang County, the place of East Laizhi. ”

"In such an important place, how could General Dong Pet send troops here? And Xu Rong's army in Chengyang County can't guard against the rebels in his county. However, it is still possible to send 10,000 or 20,000 troops to relieve the county's difficulties. Ershe sought to be near and far, and delayed the fighter, which really annoyed me. ”

Listening to Wang Yun's words, Lieutenant Beihai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, such a major mistake, once Tingxian is lost, what awaits him is ......

Thinking of this, Lieutenant Beihai hurriedly ordered: "Someone! Hurry up and go to Xu Rong, the cavalry commander of Chengyang County, to ask for help. ”

Looking at the Beihai lieutenant who knew his mistakes and could change them, Wang Yun's face was a little better, although Wang Yun's Beihai State Minister and Beihai Lieutenant were both rank 2,000 stones, but in terms of authority, Wang Yun, the Beihai State Minister, was still bigger.

In this way, there is a scene where Wang Yun, the minister of state, reprimands Lieutenant Beihai.

Taking advantage of the fact that the rebels stopped attacking, the county soldiers in the city all rested in the corners and enjoyed this short time.

Wang Yun looked at the five hundred soldiers guarding the city gate under the city, frowned and said, "Come on, demolish the surrounding houses and give subsidies." The earth and stones that were dismantled were given to the officials to seal the gates of the city. ”

"Blocking the city gates? Why is that? Lieutenant Beihai looked at Wang Yundao incredulously when he heard this.

Wang Yun said coldly, "The rebel army has an army of 40,000, while Tingxian only has more than 3,000 soldiers, and there is no cavalry. Since this is the case, it is better to block the city gate and send the remaining 500 soldiers to join the garrison troops, so that you can not pay attention to the anti-army rushing cars, but also strengthen the garrison. ”

Lieutenant Beihai's face turned red when he heard this, he was a general in charge of military affairs, and there was no minister in charge of civil affairs who knew how to defend the city.

Suddenly, a lieutenant general ran in the distance and shouted with great joy, "General, general." The messenger came back."

"Huh?"

"Summoned with so-and-so!" Wang Yun and Lieutenant Beihai both looked happy, and the tiredness on Lieutenant Beihai's face seemed to have disappeared a little.

"No!"

A moment later, the lieutenant came with a soldier.

Lieutenant Beihai hurriedly said, "Has General Xu Rong ever sent troops?" Who is the general? Terracotta geometry? When will it arrive? ”

As soon as the messenger was about to speak, Wang Yun interjected, "You have only been gone for half an hour, how can you return in Chengyang County." ”

As soon as these words came out, several of Wang Yun's guards immediately pulled out the swords in their hands.

The messenger hurriedly said, "My lord, the little one met the messenger who was sent to Dangli on the road, he was sent to General Xu Rong by the general Hou, and when he returned, he met the little one, because he was very tired from the long journey, and after entering the city, he fainted, and the little one knew that he was small at high speed on the road. ”

The lieutenant general saw this and said, "Your Excellency, this is the case, and this person knows most of the soldiers in the army. ”

Wang Yun nodded when he heard this, and said, "This is the official who is suspicious, little brother, forgive me." ”

When the messenger heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My lord, it's serious. ”

"In that case, let's answer the lieutenant's words!"

After calming down a bit, the messenger said, "General Xu Rong sent troops at noon, and the leader of the troops was Ding Yuan, the captain of the Yue cavalry, with 20,000 soldiers and horses, 1,000 light cavalry, 5,000 Changge, 4,000 bows and crossbows, and 10,000 swords and shields. It is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow. ”
