Chapter 71: Counting is Counting
Zhi Weizheng was stunned for a moment in his heart, and soon returned to normal, and said with a smile: "The kindness of the inspection envoy is ashamed!" You're right, it might be better for them to leave it to you. However, the envoy still reminds that just in case, it is better for the patrol envoy to disrupt them before assigning them. ”
Li Shibin: "Thank you for your teachings!" The last general must keep an eye on them. ”
Subsequently, Li Shibin directly disrupted Li Yuanhao's troops in the Song army camp and divided them into eighteen waves, and brought them to each village in turn. During this whole process, those generals who surrendered troops were also very cooperative, which also dispelled a lot of doubts in Li Shibin's heart, and he was a little complacent about his current prestige.
Don't you know, Zhi Wei saw Li Shibin, who was leaving happily, and sighed.
As soon as Xu Qing came back from the mission, he saw Li Shibin disappearing at the foot of the mountain with those surrendered troops, and he didn't care about resting, he ran to Zhi Weizheng again, and asked eagerly: "My lord, aren't you worried about Li Yuanhao's fraudulent surrender?" How did you get your father-in-law to bring people back? ”
Zhi Weizheng said lightly: "Didn't you also say that the envoy was worried!" That's just a guess after all, so if people really want to surrender, wouldn't it make people feel cold when we do this! Besides, this battle has been fought by your father-in-law and his men from beginning to end, so what are we doing here? Stealing the results? I can't do this yet. Moreover, this is your father-in-law who proposed it himself, and wants to settle them in his own Jinming Village. The envoy doesn't care what kind of mind he is doing this for the time being, but to tell the truth, don't talk about his father-in-law, he can be regarded as a hegemon anyway, since he opened his mouth, how could the envoy not give him this face! ”
Xu Qing: "Then what if this is really Li Yuanhao's trick?" No, his subordinates are going to stop him! ”
"Come back!" Zhi Weizheng stopped Xu Qing, who was about to run away, and said, "What is the matter if you stop it now?" Do you make your father-in-law think that he will regret it? Or do you make your father-in-law think we don't trust him? ”
Xu Qing: "That...... Then subordinates can't just ignore it, right? ”
Zhi Weizheng: "You calm down, the envoy has already thought about it." Since we don't know whether this is good or bad, let's prepare for both. One is that if they sincerely surrender to my Song Kingdom, then let your father-in-law arrange it himself, and we won't interfere. Second, you rush to Jinming Village immediately. Give your wife and uncle a breath, and let them pay more attention to these surrenders in the near future. As long as they are prepared, these people can't make any big waves! ”
"It's still an adult! The subordinates will go. Xu Qing smiled and patted the horse's ass before running out.
However, Zhi Weizheng didn't laugh as much as he could, as a regional general. Naturally, he had much more to worry about. After Xu Qing left, the smile on his face froze, and he buried his head in the mountains and rivers of the sand table to patrol back and forth, and from time to time he made some marks in some places.
"Report!" At some point, a shout came from outside the door.
Without raising his head, he answered, "Come in!" ”
The person who came was Han Zhang, who had not appeared for a long time, he walked up to Zhi Weizheng and saluted and shouted: "Subordinate Han Zhang, see the commander-in-chief!" ”
Seeing him, he put down his work and led him to sit down. And asked, "Come back so soon!" What do you think? It's all going well! ”
Han Zhang: "Thank you for your concern!" His subordinates led people to explore the Hengshan part around the Zhenrong Army, and also found many of Li Yuanhao's spies. However, according to our investigation, Li Yuanhao did not focus on that side, and only arranged two armies in total, one called Xishou Baotai, and the other called Zhuo Luo and Nan, with a total number of about 60,000 people. I wonder how the situation is here? ”
Zhi Weizheng: "It's okay here for the time being, Li Shibin and Li Yuanhao of Jinmingzhai have fought a few times, and the results are not bad, and nearly 10,000 people were captured a few days ago." Li Yuanhao also sent people to the peace talks. Agreed to some of the conditions put forward by the envoy, if nothing goes wrong, maybe this crusade will end hastily. ”
Han Zhang: "My lord, we didn't spend a single soldier, so Li Yuanhao retreated." That's a good thing! But why aren't your subordinates happy to see you? ”
"Huh...... It's nothing! Zhi Weizheng smiled and said, "Maybe it's because the Holy Lord warned the envoy to be careful of Li Yuanhao, so the envoy is a little suspicious in his heart!" ”
Han Zhang: "Dare to ask what the adults are worried about?" ”
Zhi Weizheng: "Here's the thing, the saint once specifically mentioned it, saying that this Li Yuanhao don't look at him as five big and three coarse, but he is a scheming guy." Moreover, there are many Han strategists around him, who like to use strange tricks in war, especially good at guerrilla and fraudulent surrender. It just so happened that many people surrendered this time, so there has always been a pimple in my heart. ”
Han Zhang: "My lord, what's there to worry about here, depending on the subordinates, wouldn't it be good to just scatter them and detain them?" ”
Zhi Weizheng shook his head and said: "This matter is not as simple as you think, I will not be able to tell you clearly for a while, in short, these people are now in Jinmingzhai, if it is said, it will be troublesome!" ”
Han Zhang: "Then I don't know what the adults plan to do?" ”
Zhe Weizheng: "Wait! ”
"Wait?" Han Zhang looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What are you waiting for?" ”
Zhi Weizheng: "The envoy arranged for people to keep an eye on Li Yuanhao's rear, if he really reconciles, then it's time to retreat." If he has any crooked eyes, then there will be follow-up actions, presumably he also knows that even if he takes Jinmingzhai, he will also face the pressure of the envoy's army, and it is difficult for him to stop our counterattack with this person now. ”
As he was talking, Wang Chao walked in with a piece of paper, and said with a smile: "My lord, the last general brought the information gathered by the General Staff, Li Yuanhao, this kid is really holding back, you really expect things like a god!" ”
"It's not the messenger who expects things like God, that's the saint of today!" Zhi Weizheng sighed, and then said to Wang Chao: "Let's briefly introduce the situation!" ”
"Yes, sir!" After Wang Chao saluted, he picked up a small stick next to the sand table, pointed at the sand table and said: "My lord, judging from the information summarized, a small group of Xia troops has been detected in these places, although the number of people per share is not much, but if it adds up, it will be terrifying, there must be nearly 60,000 horses!" What's more interesting is that we also found that some of the Xia people were actually copying our crossbow cavalry, with more than 20,000 people, and the cavalry of Qingyishui. The weapons are also repeating crossbows. ”
"Repeater?" Zhi Wei was staring at Wang Chao and asked, "Isn't it wrong?" Where did Li Yuanhao get his repeater? ”
Wang Chao: "My lord, this will definitely not be wrong!" They didn't believe it at first, but they confirmed it again and again before reporting it. ”
Zhi Weizheng: "That's weird! The crossbow is our current weapon, and it depends on this thing to defeat the Liao army. Could it be that Li Yuanhao knew that we defeated the Liao army and still dared to argue with us? But where did he get so many repeaters? ”
"My lord, don't those people do it in secret, right? They haven't done this kind of scalping before! As Wang Chao spoke, he pointed to the east.
Zhi Weizheng: "It shouldn't be! The Holy One can pay attention to this kind of thing, and now even those roads that withhold military salaries have been blocked. It is impossible to ignore these guys who are reselling military funds. Besides, you also know that each of our crossbows is numbered, and all the handover processes are at least attended by people from the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the Holy Sect, so it is not easy to resell weapons as before. What's more, you also said that Li Yuanhao has tens of thousands of corpses on hand, and it is even more impossible to have such a large scale! ”
Wang Chao: "What do you mean...... This is all made up by Li Yuanhao himself? ”
"I'm afraid so!" Zhi Weizheng bowed his head and said: "This matter is very important, and the envoy must play the Holy God as soon as possible!" ”
Wang Chao: "My lord, how do you think we should deal with it now?" ”
Zhen Weizheng: "Let this envoy think about it...... Judging from the current situation, there is no doubt that Li Yuanhao wants to cheat. Since you want to play yin with us, then we will also plan and beat him hard, I originally wanted him to jump for a few days, but since he is tired of life, then the envoy doesn't have to be polite to him! In this way, Captain Han, you immediately contact the members of your special combat team in Hengshan, and ask them to hide together, so as not to startle the snake. At that time, if Li Yuanhao is defeated by our army, you will immediately launch a full-scale pursuit! ”
Han Zhang: "Subordinates obey!" ”
Zhi Weizheng said to Wang Chao again: "General Wang, you immediately fly the pigeon to pass on General Di Qing, and ask him to lead the cavalry of the Blue Dragon Legion to rush to the aid of our department." All troops in the camp were notified to suspend training. Be ready for battle. After arranging these, you will lead the Qilin Guard Infantry Battalion to move two miles behind Li Yuanhao overnight to hide and wait. ”
Wang Chao: "The last general obeys orders!" ”
Zhi Weizheng: "The terrain here is complicated, the mountains and ravines are vertical, the battle situation is not easy to observe, and it is easy to be exploited by the enemy. Don't embarrass the envoy, and don't embarrass the saint! ”
"Don't worry, sir! Even if the last general dies in battle, he will not retreat half a step back! Wang Chao patted his chest and said.
However, this Han Zhang was silent on the side, and Zhi Weizheng stared at him and asked, "Captain Han, what's wrong?" Scared? ”
Han Zhang: "My lord laughed, his subordinates and others had already put life and death out of the way. The subordinates just suddenly thought of something, maybe we can still use it in this war! ”
Zhi Weizheng: "Oh? What's that? ”
Han Zhang: "As for the name of that thing, my subordinates really don't know, they only know that that thing can carry people and fly high." You think, if any of us could stand in the sky, wouldn't the situation on earth be clear at a glance? ”
Wang Chao: "There is such a magical thing, Captain Han, you can get such a good thing, when will you give some treasures to your brother?" ”
Han Zhang: "General Wang, don't be joking, how can I have that ability, this is all not wanted by Brother Ding Zhao, I just thought it was fun and collected it, if I don't mention it today, I will forget about it." ”
Zhi Weizheng asked, "Captain Han, if it's really as good as you say, why wouldn't the two of them want it?" ”
Han Zhang: "Don't hide it from my lord, they have used this thing once, and the remaining fuel will not last long, and this thing is still a test product, there are many security loopholes, and my subordinates have never played it, so I thought that this war is very important, should I take it out and use it once?" ”
Zhi Weizheng: "Then you can use it?" ”
Han Zhang nodded: "Yes!" My lord, this thing is very simple to use, it can fly when you light a fire, it is similar to that Kong Ming lantern, but it is easy to be blown away by the wind in the air, so we have to find a strong rope to fix it on the ground! ”
Zhi Weizheng: "This is not a matter, when the time comes, I will find a mountain to be the headquarters, let it fly in the sky to observe the enemy's situation, and you can also use the flag language to command the troops." By the way, where do you think this thing is? ”
Han Zhang: "My lord, it's a coincidence, this thing is not far from here, that is the station of our special combat team here, and my subordinates are going to pull it here!" ”
"Go ahead!" Zhi Weizheng waved his hand at him, and then said to Wang Chao: "You go and prepare!" In addition, considering the special situation of this time, if it is not possible, the envoy will approve your use of secret weapons, and each squad leader is allowed to bring five bases in case of emergency. ”
Wang Chao: "The last general understands!" (To be continued.) )
