Chapter 125: Gather in Xiangyang
"It's really dangerous, ...... on the mountain today"
After returning to the garrison site, Xie An expressed his feelings with palpitations on his face.
"What?" Hearing this, Liu Qing looked back at Xie An, and her expression seemed a little confused.
Thanks to Xie An's enlightenment, Liu Qing can be said to have played happily today, which greatly alleviated the sullenness that had been suppressed for a long time in her heart, and even, there were faint signs of being unable to control her temperament, although she had returned to the Zhou army station, but she still remembered the joy when she was shouting on the mountain.
Although Xie An looked a little monotonous, but for Liu Qing, it was indeed a very interesting game, unfortunately, at the moment of chasing the rebel army, even if Xie An wanted her to relieve the depression in her heart, she couldn't spare too much time, and it was only two or three hours to be full, which made Liu Qing vaguely feel a little regretful.
But there is no way, who called her the current military division of the three armies of the Zhou army? Since he returned to the station, he had to think about how to defeat Li Shen, the king of Qin, instead of cherishing the interesting things of Fang Cai. After all, the White Water Army fled into Jingshan, which in Liu Qing's opinion, must have a lot of articles in it.
However, what Liu Qing didn't expect was that after returning to the station, Xie An talked about something that seemed insignificant.
[Dangerous?] Today? ]
Liu Qing looked at Xie An strangely, she couldn't think of any danger today, wasn't it just a group of people going up the mountain and shouting towards the deep mountain?
"Didn't you notice?" As if seeing Liu Qing's surprised expression, Xie An shrugged his shoulders and said with a look of trepidation, "Today on the mountain, the snow layer under my feet has slipped a large ......"
[So this guy was referring to this ......]
Liu Qing suddenly realized when she heard this, and sneered. Slightly sarcastic, he said, "Isn't it normal for the snow to slip on the top of the snowy mountain?" ββWill the dignified criminal department Shangshu also be afraid of this? β
"Of course!" Xie An smiled and said meaningfully, "This mansion is also human. It is human beings who are afraid of the forces of nature...... Well, to explain it in words you can understand, it should be Tianwei! -- Heavenly power that cannot be stopped by man! β
"Avalanche? -- This is indeed a heavenly power that cannot be stopped by man! Liu Qing replied lightly, after all, she has lived in Jingzhou for many years, and naturally knows something about avalanches.
"Liu Qing, since you know what an avalanche is, you should know the danger inside, right?"
Liu Qing frowned, she seemed to have misunderstood. Hearing this, he said unhappily, "I didn't plan to go to that mountain to relax, you forced me to go, and then come back to accuse me, Lord Xie is really a little unkind......
"Huh!" Seeing that Liu Qing seemed to have misunderstood, Xie An shook his head, but he didn't care, after taking a few deep glances at Liu Qing. He said to himself, "God is not beautiful." If an avalanche came in recent days and buried 60,000 white water troops and more than 50,000 vassal kings' troops under the command of Li Shen, the king of Qin, how good would it be? It also saves me the trouble of waiting......"
"Humph!" Liu Qing sneered with a little disdain when she heard this, and before the laughter fell, she vaguely felt that Xie An's words seemed to have some deep meaning.
[Avalanche?] Yes...... It seems that in the middle of winter now, the mountain roads in Jingshan and Jingshan are rugged and the roads are difficult to walk. Why did the White Water Army choose this path to withdraw to Hanzhong? Although the route of Dangyang could not be gone because of the imminent arrival of the army led by Li Cheng, the king of Anling, the Baishui army could still go to Linfu and Zigui, bypass Jing and Jing'er Mountains, go upriver along the Yangtze River, and withdraw to Hanzhong in Dongchuan. Why do you want to be entangled in Jing and Jing Ershan, and have to march in this deep mountain where murderous opportunities are hidden? Xie An is right, aren't those people afraid of an avalanche breaking out in Jing and Jing Er Mountains and burying all of their more than 100,000 people here?
Or is it ...... Did the White Water Army deliberately lure our army deep into Jingshan and Jingshan? If so, then their purpose should be...... Lure the enemy deeper, and want to use the geographical advantage to completely annihilate our army!
Other than that......
This guy just said that Li Shen, the king of Qin...... Isn't Li Shen already dead? Died under his own schemes......
Wait, if the White Water Army is really just a fraud, then Li Shen, the king of Qin, ......]
Glancing at Xie An, who was leisurely roasting the fire, a strange look flashed in Liu Qing's eyes.
[This guy...... Are you reminding yourself? ]
"You ......" Glancing at Xie An deeply, Liu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I suddenly thought, maybe Li Shen, the king of Qin, is still alive and well, what do you think?" β
A hint of discoloration flashed in Xie An's eyes, and he said with a smile when he heard this, "How do I know this?" Thinking about these things, this is the duty of a military advisor, isn't it? - Oh, by the way, the next time I want to stand on the top of a snowy mountain and shout, it will cause a massive avalanche! β
[This guy...... Didn't you force me there? I don't want to say anything about having to go for a distraction...... Wait a minute! Causing an avalanche? Shouting like that would cause an avalanche? ]
Looking at Xie An deeply, a flash of realization flashed in Liu Qing's heart, and she suddenly realized that it was not Xie An who was messing around, he was implicitly teaching her how to break the enemy.
[Isn't it...... Outrageous! What can you do? I Liu Qing need you to teach? ]
Liu Qing gritted her teeth hatefully, but she had to admit that if everything Xie An said was true, then she might be able to easily defeat Li Shen, the king of Qin.
"Why? You're the manager, aren't you? ββWhy did you give credit to such an outsider? Liu Qing asked inexplicably.
I don't know if I understood the deep meaning of Liu Qing's words, Xie An raised his hand and patted the snowflakes on his shoulders and arms, and said lightly, "Merit...... It can be said that this government has risen to the top, so what is the use of those credits? Compete with the pit king for the position of prime minister? This house is not that interested! - Okay, let's think about how to break the enemy, our army's Liu Dajun Division! If you can't subdue the hearts of the powerful generals below, Jiangdong will fight against Wu Heng in the future, even if the government intends to mention you as a military advisor, the generals under your command will probably not recognize it! ββLi Shen is Li Shen, Wu Heng is Wu Heng! β
Seeing Xie An stand up and staggering away, Liu Qing bit her lip slightly, she naturally understood the deep meaning of Xie An's words.
Although it is true that she, Liu Qing, is currently serving as the military advisor of the Zhou army, and the soldiers in the Zhou army seem to be obedient to her, this does not mean that she has subdued the hearts of the soldiers of the Zhou army. It's just because she Liu Qing and Li Shen, the king of Qin, don't have much to do with it, so the generals of the Zhou army didn't suspect her, but in the future, Jiangdong fought against Wu Heng of the Taiping Army. The situation is very different, you must know that she Liu Qing is also from the Taiping Army.
Use a Taiping Army person as a military advisor to crusade against another Taiping Army person? God knows if those Zhou soldiers will still trust her as much as they do now.
[Give me the credit for destroying the enemy, so that I can win the hearts of the generals in the army and gain their trust?] - Why are you helping me like this, Xie An? ]
looked at Xie An's departing back. Liu Qing's mood is really complicated.
Later, it was unimaginable for Liu Qing to see through the strategy of Li Shen, the king of Qin, which made Liu Qing very easy to make a plan, and completely annihilated the 50,000 vassal army that was regarded as bait by Li Shen, the king of Qin, and forced Li Shen, the king of Qin, to retreat to Xiangyang, waiting for an opportunity to reverse the defeat.
Although Liu Qing did make a big effort in this battle, after all, she deduced the exact location of the Baishui Army ambushing the Zhou army from the marching map, but she had to admit it. If Xie An hadn't secretly helped and reminded her, even if she could see through the tricks of Li Shen, the king of Qin, I am afraid she would not have been able to do everything and destroy the 50,000 vassal kings in one fell swoop.
In other words, it was Xie An's words that wiped out the 50,000 vassal army!
In a word, it is so powerful!
"Liu Junshi!"
"Hello Liu Junshi!"
"Do you patrol the camp early in the morning? It's hard work for Liu Junshi......"
A warm and intimate greeting interrupted Liu Qing's thoughts.
Raising his head and glancing at the soldiers of the Zhou Army who were looking at him with an eager smile, Liu Qing smiled slightly. "The camp is nearing completion. Keep up the work! β
"Oh!" The nearby soldiers of the Zhou army responded enthusiastically.
"Oh, by the way, during the camp, you must not neglect your vigilance against Xiangyang, you must know that there are more than 50,000 white water troops in the hands of Li Shen, the king of Qin. and the 30,000 vassal army of Li Bo, the son of the king of Qiuyang, in terms of troops, is not much less than our army, and must not be slackened! β
"Yes!" The soldiers of the Zhou army clasped their fists in response.
After greetings, all the soldiers of the Zhou army performed their duties, and Liu Qing also continued to inspect the duties of the camp.
Duration. She met Cheng Yang, the general of the Great Liang Army, who also came to inspect the situation in the camp, and Qi Zhi, the former Taiping Army Six Divine Generals, who was currently serving as this person's deputy general.
"It's a good fit for ......"
To Liu Qing's slight surprise, the smile on Cheng Yang's face was a little worse than a few days ago, especially when he saw that many soldiers of the Great Liang Army also began to greet Liu Qing warmly.
"Really?" Liu Qing's face turned slightly red, although she has gradually adapted to life in the Zhou army, but it is inevitable that there is still some mustard in her heart, after all, Xu Le, the former general of the Taiping Army, who is reluctant to serve as Xie An's guard, is not less scolded behind her back.
"What do you think, Qi Zhi?" As if seeing the concerns in Liu Qing's heart, Cheng Yang chuckled and asked his lieutenant Qi Zhi.
"It seems like this...... Qi Zhi smiled, and then said with heartfelt emotion, "To see Her Royal Highness the Princess's smile again, the last general is really ...... It's really ......."
"Qi Zhi," glanced at Cheng Yang with some concern, and Liu Qing reprimanded in a low voice, "Don't call my Royal Highness the princess again......"
Qi Zhi was stunned, only then did he realize that this title was indeed inappropriate, and hurriedly changed his words, on the other hand, Cheng Yang didn't mind much, and said with a chuckle when he heard the words, "Whether it's the acting military division or His Royal Highness Liu Ji, a title won't change anything...... Oh, that's what grown-ups say! β
Liu Qing smiled slightly when she heard this, then bit her lip and asked faintly, "That...... What about him? Hmm, I mean Lord Xie......"
A hint of discoloration flashed in Cheng Yang's eyes, he raised his hand and touched his chin, and said with some embarrassment, "Hmm...... That one...... I'm afraid it's still resting, right? β
"Still resting?" Liu Qing's eyes narrowed, and he turned his head to look at Qi Zhi, who saw it, didn't dare to hide it, and clenched his fists and said, "Return to the princess...... Oh no, it's the military division, General Chengyang and the last general went to the tent to ask for a meeting, and wanted to tell the scouts of our army and the scouts of the White Water Army that they were in contact with each other in the field yesterday, but General Liao Li, who was guarding outside the tent, stopped us and said that the adults had not yet gotten up......"
Looking up at the sky, a trace of anger flashed in Liu Qing's beautiful eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Yesterday, Qin Ke'er was in his tent?" β
"Big ...... Probably......" Qi Zhi said vaguely as he shrunk his head.
"How can this be true? - Does he know that he is the commander of the 100,000 Zhou army?! Liu Qing gritted her teeth and cursed, even she didn't understand why she was so angry. Somehow, she became more and more unhappy that Qin Ke'er stayed by Xie An's side. Especially when the two hug each other.
Seeing Liu Qing carrying a withered branch angrily in the direction of the handsome tent, from time to time using the withered branch in his hand to beat the tents, wooden houses, and railings he encountered on the way, Chengyang glanced at Qi Zhi inexplicably.
"Don't tell you, do you? -- The boss and the military are at odds because of this kind of thing, and it will make people laugh when it spreads! β
"That's what I said,......" Qi Zhi smiled bitterly. said, "But Her Royal Highness the princess asked, the last general is really not ......."
Cheng Yang shook his head when he heard this, but he also knew that Qi Zhi was more loyal to Liu Qing than to Zhou Jun, so he was not surprised, and coughed and said, "That's it, I'll wait for the patrol, and it's my turn to wait for the patrol outside the camp today." Four directions, do you choose? β
"The last general will choose the west!" Qi Zhi clenched his fists and smiled.
The west, which is the direction of Xiangyang, is also the most dangerous direction when scouts inquire about news, but Qi Zhi doesn't care, after all, in terms of talent, he is far more than the rank of deputy general, even if he is compared with Ma Dan, Tang Hao and other handsome talents. It's not necessarily inferior, it's just because of the embarrassment of identity. In addition to Chengyang's trust, he has not won the trust of other Zhou army soldiers, so he temporarily serves as a deputy general.
"Good boy, rob General Ben's task ......" Cheng Yang muttered a little depressedly.
As we all know, at present, only the western patrol of the Zhou army camp may be attacked by the White Water Army, and the remaining three directions. It's almost a formality, quite dull and boring. Therefore, all the generals who had some confidence in themselves would rush to the west to patrol the defense, and almost no one was willing to go in the other three directions. Including Chengyang.
But there is no way, who calls the words that are said to be like spilled water? Moreover, Cheng Yang also knew that Qi Zhi, who was originally the Yuheng Divine General of the Six Divine Generals of the Taiping Army, was also wise and brave, and it was really difficult to pick out any thorns.
And at this moment, a few light horses hurriedly ran in the distance, came to Chengyang and Qi Zhi, turned over and dismounted.
"Report! -- Two generals, good news! β
Just when Cheng Yang and Qi Zhi were listening to the good news, Liu Qing had already come to the Chinese army marshal's tent where Xie An lived with an indignant face.
Seeing Liu Qing from a distance, Xu Le, the deputy commander who served as Xie An's guard, snorted coldly and left without a sound, leaving Liao Li waiting for Liu Qing outside the tent.
To be honest, Liu Qing didn't see Xu Le, but the problem was that Xu Le's prejudice against her was getting worse and worse, and she really had no way to convince him, so she could only secretly hope in her heart that this guy, who was both a fierce general and a reckless man, would not do anything to kill himself and lose his life in vain.
"Strategist!"
Seeing Liu Qing coming, Liao Libi respectfully saluted Liu Qing. Putting aside his admiration for Liu Qing's exhaustive strategy, if he Liao Li still wants to get rid of the identity of a guard one day and set foot on the battlefield again, then it is natural that Liu Qing will contribute to it, after all, the current Liu Qing is given the right by Xie An to supervise and lead the whole army. To put it simply, whether to place a general in the front army or the rear army can be done with Liu Qing's words alone.
For Liao Li, although it is an extremely honorable thing to serve as the escort of coach Xie An, and besides, he still has to monitor Xu Le, but Liao Li also knows that these are just perfunctory words from Liu Qing considering that his body has not yet recovered and does not want to let him go to the battlefield. As we all know, don't look at the number of guards in front of the tent, there are more than 100 people at all times, but in fact, the real guards are actually the assassins of Dongling and Jinling who are hidden in the tent and even the Chinese army.
What's more, two days ago, the first assassin under Xie An, the sickle Mofei of the Four Heavenly Kings of Dongling, seemed to have calmed down and returned to his position, Liao Li really couldn't imagine what the point was for him to continue to serve as a guard, he was a general, a general who fought and killed!
Because of this, Liao Li, who wanted to persuade Liu Qing to let him set foot on the battlefield again, was really not too good to stop this military master, so as not to anger the other party, so that Liu Qing really broke into the handsome tent, and saw at a glance that Xie An was still asleep with Qin Ke'er in his arms.
"Shameless! Shameless! Die to shame! β
Early in the morning, in Zhou Junshuai's tent, there was a crisp scolding unique to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.
"What do you want to do?!" Seeing Liu Qing, who was flushed but glared at him with angry eyes, Xie An let out a long breath and said a little speechlessly, "This government has entrusted you to supervise the whole army, but I didn't say that you can interfere in the private affairs of this government, Liu Dajunshi!" - Disturbing dreams, but there will be needle eyes! β
"Phew! Phew! - Even if someone wants to get a needle's eye, it's you! Liu Qing cursed indignantly. For some reason, looking at Qin Ke'er's white and delicate delicate body, Liu Qing only felt that the nameless fire in her heart was getting stronger and stronger.
Perhaps, Liu Qing is indeed very similar to the eldest grandson Xiangyu in some aspects, after all, when the eldest grandson Xiangyu saw Liang Qiuwu's proud chest and Jin Ling'er's bewitching figure, he was almost crazy like Liu Qing now.
And at this moment, a herald outside the tent relieved Xie An's siege.
"Report! -- His Royal Highness Li Cheng, King of Anling, led 4,000 elite soldiers to arrive, only five or six miles away from our army camp! β
"Really?" Xie An was taken aback when he heard this, and was taken off the bed after Liu Qing's face was red, and he muttered in surprise and emotion, "Is it finally here?" β
After more than three years, are you finally lucky enough to meet again?
When the throne was within reach, the prince who felt his brother's kindness and abandoned the throne without hesitation, and was willing to be demoted to a commoner and relegated to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb......
The man who perfectly interpreted what it means to rein in the precipice with his actions!
The former crown prince and the half-brother of Li Wei, the king of Zhou Ai, the fifth son of the emperor and Li Cheng, the king of Anling! (To be continued......)
