Chapter 6: Huanglonggang [I] (Revised Version)
Chapter 6 Huanglonggang [I]
"Hurry up! The general ordered, arrived in Youzhou, and carnivaled for a day! A trail of cavalry rushed past the long march. A loud sound resounded through the nearby sky.
"Wow! Attaboy! The owner of the silk shop on East Street looked down on me the most, and I entered Youzhou City this time to ask him to look good! ”
"Good! Right! The boss of the rice shop on West Street is the most deceitful, every time he buys rice, he is either short of two catties or mixed with sand, damn! If I break into Youzhou City this time, I'll be the first to settle accounts with that guy! ”
The originally tired team was immediately shaken, and everyone quickened their pace, scolding those who were stingy and those who had offended them. Thinking about the things of a day of carnival in Youzhou City.
However, Liu Rengong in the Chinese army was not as happy as his subordinates, Liu Rengong was a hero, he once said such a sentence, "Dream banner out of the fingers, forty-nine years old, when Bing Festival" to the effect that he dreamed that he could become a festival envoy at the age of forty-nine, of which the festival is the banner of the festival envoy.
Who are the knots? In this troubled world, the envoy of the festival is the emperor of the soil, and he is no longer an important minister in a certain big force. It is equivalent to the commander of a provincial military district, the secretary of the party committee, the secretary of the discipline inspection commission, the provincial governor and other members of the centralized party. The Jiedu envoy is a behemoth that concentrates military power, financial power, procuratorial power, personnel appointment power, and political power. This is not something that ordinary people dare to take on easily, but Liu Rengong dared to say such arrogant words at that time. It can be seen that he has a lot of ambitions.
However, when he said such a sentence, Liu Rengong also had the confidence to say such a sentence. Liu Rengong is smarter than ordinary people, he sees farther than most people, and he already knows about Li Kuangshou's defeat of Li Congwei. Although Li Kuangshou's soldiers had just finished the battle, they were tired soldiers, and they were farther than themselves on the road. But he knows that the odds of winning this battle are only five or five, and the key is to look at the speed of both sides. Liu Rengong has his own advantage, that is, he is closer to Youzhou than Li Kuangshou, as long as he occupies Youzhou, even if Li Kuangshou has an army of 100,000, he will be scattered, because most of his men are Youzhou people.
However, Li Kuangshou also has his advantage, that is, he has more generals than Liu Rengong, as long as he can lead the army back to Youzhou City faster than Liu Rengong, even if Liu Rengong has 100,000 troops, he has to hate Youzhou City.
This is also Liu Rengong's order to give soldiers a day of carnival in order to stimulate the speed of the soldiers. Liu Rengong is a hero, he understands better than anyone that Youzhou City is now a strong foreign cadre, and if possible, he hopes to leave a good foundation for Youzhou. Otherwise, he may not be able to resist Li Keyong's attack in the end, and Lu Long will also shoot his yellow finch behind because of Li Ke's use of this hunter. Now Liu Rengong feels as if he is in a dead end.
"General! In front of it is Huanglonggang, and there is such a place to camp nearby, is it for soldiers to camp and rest. A general drove his horse to Liu Rengong's vicinity and suggested.
Liu Rengong had something on his mind, and he didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "When I arrived at Huanglonggang, I ordered to set up camp!" ”
The name of Huanglonggang is majestic, but in fact, it is just a loess high hill. The terrain is flat, and this is indeed a good place to camp, otherwise it would have to be flat in other places.
When Liu Rengong arrived here, he frowned, and said to the people around him: "How did you find such a place to camp, although your back is against the high post, it is also convenient for the enemy to dive and sneak attack from the high post." ”
Liu Rengong was in the Chinese army, so when he came, Yingzhou was nearly half completed. The people around him were reluctant to bother again, so they couldn't help but persuade and said: "General, the soldiers are marching in a hurry today, and they have walked nearly five miles longer than yesterday, and it is also very hard." If you want to change places and set up camp, you have to walk the first four miles. And the camps are almost there, I think it's better to forget it! ”
"Yes! General, you see that the soldiers are so tired, I hope the general will be sympathetic to the soldiers! Moreover, even if Li Kuangshou's thief marches in a hurry, he will not arrive in Youzhou City until tomorrow. We're not afraid of the enemy's sneak attack! At most, send more sentinels tonight! ”
The soldiers of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were very arrogant, especially Liu Rengong, who rebelled by taking advantage of the soldiers' resentment that Qi did not rotate. It's really not good to get the soldiers to abandon the camp that has been completed for nearly half of the time, and walk another four miles to change the camp, and there will be a mutiny. This kind of thing has not happened rarely, and there are even soldiers who openly extort money from generals!
Liu Rengong was silent for a while, and then said helplessly: "Okay! However, today the sentinels sent more than usual Wu Chengren. You must remember this! ”
However, when one of the chiefs went to announce to the soldiers that the number of sentries would be increased by half today, the soldiers immediately started a commotion. There is no choice but to find a report to the general school next to Liu Rengong.
When the generals heard this, someone said: "Forget it, the soldiers are also tired, so let's just forget it as usual!" Anyway, Li Kuangshou's usurping thief is two hundred miles away from us. If you don't say it, we won't say it. What's the use of telling the general? ”
The nearby generals all chimed in: "Yes, this matter should be done like this." ”
I don't want those soldiers to hear this, but they make a fuss again, saying that today is too hard, and half of the sentries are usually fine. The generals thought to themselves, anyway, a reduction of 50% is a reduction, and it doesn't matter if it is reduced by 50% now. Anyway, if the enemy is far away from us, the result will be rash.
Liu Rengong didn't notice the small movements of his subordinates, because of the rapid march overnight and tired thinking, Liu Rengong was also very tired. After taking off his armor and having dinner, although it was only dusk, he had already slept with a horizontal knife under his pillow, and soon there was a snoring sound in the tent.
"Drip! Drip! ......" A rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded outside Juyong Pass, and the alarm bell on the city tower hurriedly sounded, and a group of soldiers rushed to the city.
A large banner of Li characters flew out of the billowing smoke and dust, and a group of cavalry numbering about 500 men galloped towards the city gate. When the guard at the head of the city saw it, he immediately knocked on the head of the little soldier who reported to him, and said with a scolding: "It's from Youzhou!" And under the banner of Li Zi, it is a friendly army, what kind of alarm bells are ringing. ”
The little soldier pursed his lips aggrievedly and said: "General, you said that if more than a hundred soldiers and horses pass by, you have to report it." If there are more than 500 cavalry, or 1,000 infantry, the alarm bell must be sounded. ”
The guard waved his hand in embarrassment, and shouted angrily: "Go down, what are you doing with so much nonsense!" ”;
