Chapter 8: Huanglonggang [II] (Revised Version)
Chapter 8 Huanglonggang [II]
Sun Lun: "Naturally, they would choose to camp here. Of course, Liu Rengong insisted that the soldiers camp in the White Snake Valley, but I don't think so. Because the soldiers had been on the road for a day, the joy of a day of carnival in Youzhou City had also disappeared a lot, and unless Liu Rengong gave more rewards, it would be difficult for the soldiers to temporarily travel so many miles to the White Snake Valley. Forcing that might lead to a mutiny, after all, Liu Rengong did not recover the entire army. He just marched into Youzhou with the resentment of the army. ”
Li Cunhuan is really impressed by Sun Lun now, but this idea has just come to mind. Sun Lun had already shown a flattering face, and cut a piece of moderately fat and thin mutton from the roast sheep and handed it over. "General, please use it slowly!"
Li Cunhuan was a little speechless, it seems that people are not perfect, although Sun Lun has good knowledge, but his flattering surname is really speechless. It is estimated that if you use it well, you will be a good minister, and if you don't use it well, you will be a minister.
Li Cunhuan shook his head, ate the piece of mutton, patted Sun Lun's shoulder and said, "Yes, I'm optimistic about you." I will take the troops out in the evening, and you will personally defend the city at night, so don't trouble me. ”
"Yes! Be! General, please rest assured, the last general will honestly go to the city gate to wait for the general, I don't know which direction the general will set off? Sun Lun said with a respectful bent down slightly, a flattering smile on his face.
"North Gate!" Li Cunhuan cherishes words like gold.
The place where Li Cunhuan lived was naturally unusual, and Sun Lun also called two concubines who were good-looking. If it were normal times, Li Cunhuan might have had some fun, but Li Cunhuan was going to sneak attack Liu Rengong, and there would be a battle in the second half of the night, where would he do these wasted things. asked the two concubines to be driven out, Li Cunhuan was wrapped in a quilt, and the person had quickly fallen asleep.
"General! Checkmate! ”
Li Cunhuan opened his eyes and found that it was his own soldier Sha Yuke, and asked with hazy eyes, "What's wrong?" ”
"General, didn't you tell me to wake you up? Shall we set off on a watchday? Sha Eucalyptus reminded.
Li Cunhuan was shocked, and hurriedly kicked the quilt away, and the cold air suddenly made Li Cunhuan feel excited. Li Cunhuan stood up, hurriedly put on his armor, and asked, "What time is it now?" ”
While helping Li Cunhuan put on his armor, Sha Yuke responded: "It's almost a watch, and there is still about half an hour to go." One after another, the brethren rose up. ”
Li Cunhuan didn't expect that the time was so urgent, and by the time he put on his armor, it was almost a day. Let the horn be blown, and five hundred cavalry gathered in the open field with war horses. Li Cunhuan turned over on his horse, raised his horse lance and said loudly: "Brothers! Now let's go out of the city and raid Liu Rengong's thief. Don't cherish horsepower along the way, even if it's a dead horse! Be sure to arrive at Huanglonggang three days ago! ”
"Yes!" The soldier replied loudly.
The war horse moved its four hooves and soon galloped out of Juyong Pass, the first watch day was from seven o'clock in the evening to nine o'clock in the evening, and the third watch day was from eleven o'clock in the evening to one o'clock in the morning. There are a total of four hours of marching time in the middle, and if it is daytime, four hours and fifty miles, it is just a very simple matter. But now it's night, and it's a very difficult task, so Li Cunhuan also issued an order to run to the death.
Out of the city, Zhu Yonggui couldn't help but ask: "General, it's not me who said, why don't you set off during the day, but not at night, I'm afraid that hundreds of horses will have to run and die." Although Youyan has many good horses, these hundreds of good horses may have to go to millions of dollars! ”
Although Lu Long was in troubled times at that time, he was still on the side of peace on the whole, and he did not receive too many wars on his homeland. Usually, the price of rice is only more than 50 yuan, and you can buy a bucket. A bucket of 10 liters, and the liters are about 1.5 kilograms. From here you can see how much millions of dollars are worth.
Li Cunhuan knew that if this question was not explained well, I was afraid that Zhu Yonggui would feel uncomfortable. Although Li Cunhuan is important on the surface, Li Cunhuan certainly has good ability in this aspect. But more importantly, Li Kuangshou ascended to power too quickly, not because of a lack of talents, and the change of the owner of the civil and military generals in this era is as simple as eating every day.
The most famous is Feng Dao, who has been a ruler of four dynasties and ten monarchs. From here, it can be seen from the side that the situation at that time was not unreasonable.
Therefore, Li Kuangshou vigorously promoted the newcomer Li Cunhuan, but promotion is one thing. Li Kuangshou did not forget to release people next to Li Kuangshou, this Zhu Yonggui is. Although Zhu Yonggui has no ability, he is the third son of Li Kuangshou's housekeeper. Not to mention anything else, the family is in Li Kuangshou's house, and if you want to betray Li Kuangshou, you have to take it easy.
Li Cunhuan pulled the reins, slowed down the speed of the war horse, and said, "Does Yonggui know how many years Liu Rengong has been in the army in Lulong?" ”
Although Zhu Yonggui didn't know the intention of Li Cunhuan's question, he pondered for a moment and still responded: "Liu Rengong I am not very familiar with, but he shined in the battle of Lulong's attack on Yizhou in the first year of Guangqi. Now in the second year of Jingfu, it is still eight years in the past, plus the time when Liu Rengong joined the army before, there are at least ten years. ”
Li Cunhuan waved his hand and said: "Yonggui is too conservative, Liu Rengong has been in the army for nearly twenty years, and he doesn't dare to say that his henchmen are all over Lulong, but he still has some connections in the land of Lulong." If we go out of the city during the day, they will surely know, but at night it is different, as soon as we go out and close the gates of the city, and want to send someone to inform us, I am afraid that the battle is over. This is one thing, and there are two and three things. ”
"Huh!? And the second, third? Zhu Yonggui couldn't have imagined that such a simple time to go out of the city would be so thoughtful.
Li Cunhuan nodded and said, "During the day, we are on the road, and it is easy to bump into or be discovered by Liu Rengong's exploration horse. Third, it is not as convenient to camp outside as in Juyongguan, and the soldiers can also rest better. And we can defeat Liu Rengong, don't say millions of dollars, even if it is hundreds of thousands, the general will be willing! (Consistent thousand money)
Zhu Yonggui was originally a little unconvinced by Li Cunhuan, but now he couldn't help but say a little ashamed when he heard this: "In the past, I was jealous of the young master, but I was lucky, and I had a few brute forces. Now I know that I am sitting in a well and watching the sky, and I don't know the talent of the young master! ”
Li Cunhuan smiled modestly and said, "I'm just an ordinary person who thinks a lot." ”;
