Volume 3 The General Rusts

PS: When Shen Tianzi was in Chang'an, he fell in love with two young courtesans, and after leaving the town, he sent someone to pick them up quietly, and since then he sang songs every night, drank every day, and turned his handsome tent into a wedding tent, the bed was as wide as a battlefield, and the wind and clouds turned into clouds and rain in Wushan, and the crotch was no longer a saddle, and the fast knife was difficult to break and linger, and it almost never stopped. Messing around at night, sleeping during the day, and nothing in the army has anything to do with it. Today, I will ask Zhou Gong for advice in the middle of Japan. When the envoy from Chang'an saw him, he was unkempt, the smell of alcohol had not disappeared, and he had two huge dark circles under his eyes. When I wrote the receipt of the military order to the messenger, the pen was shaking.

It was only after the fourth day of the first lunar month, and the excitement of the New Year of the defenders in Guanzhong was interrupted by the military situation.

Helian Bobo went south.

The cold winter is not conducive to the northward movement of southerners, but it is not a problem for northerners to go south. After discussing with Wang Maide, Helian Bobo decided not to wait for the beginning of spring, and took advantage of the harsh winter to catch the Jin army off guard. Bo Bo wanted to concentrate the main force and take Chang'an in one fell swoop. Wang Maide judged that the Jin army had not yet reached Cheng Dù, where the morale of the army was completely weakened, and the combat effectiveness was still not to be underestimated, and if the battle was lost, if it wanted to launch such an offensive again, it would be a year or two later, and it would not be possible to achieve it quickly. He built yì not to rush to war, but to use a small force of elite cavalry to attack and occupy Shangluo, Qingni and other key points, the main force to take Tongguan, cut off the water and land passage between the Beifu soldiers and the Jiangnan base camp, and at the same time win the support of the people of Guanzhong Daxia, trap the Jin army in a net, and then the melon ripened and fell, and took Chang'an lightly. Liu Yizhen's milk smell has not dried, and the generals under his command have different dreams in the same bed, how can they be His Majesty's opponents. All His Majesty needed was a little patience.

The Jin army initially thought that this was just a light attack and a temptation, but later confirmed that at least 20,000 Xia troops were moving in the direction of Chang'an. The lord will be Helian Bobo's son, Helian Bobo, the general of the Fu army; Helian Bobo's other son, Helian Chang, appeared in the direction of Tongguan, while Wang Maide, a Great Xia think tank, led his army to Qingni. That is, where the Jin army defeated Yao Hong last year.

Summing up the reports from all walks of life, Wang Zhenwei felt that the situation was already very serious. It is clear that Helian Bobo's intention is to weave a cage and gather the Jin army in Guanzhong. He told Liu Yizhen that Shen Tianzi, the general of Long Xiang, would send troops to meet Helian Biao. Shen Tianzi Yashan fought in the field, and he won more with less than once before, and was the best choice for the first battle. If Helian Biao's road is broken, it can not only stabilize the hearts of the people in Chang'an, but also deter the other two Xia soldiers.

When the military order arrived, Chen Song was leading a group of brothers to wrestle with Hu Lu.

At first, no one was willing to learn this. Flying Cavalry, you can shoot from a distance. Can you stab and cut at a close distance, and wrestling has a bird? Hu Luzheng said that you southerners underestimate this. When hand-to-hand combat is most intense, people rush over, and you don't even have time to swing a knife, and if you can fall down the opponent at this time, you will have the advantage. Not to mention that sometimes you have to fight with your bare hands, and that's when people who know wrestling skills take advantage.

The brethren laughed and said that when the time came, whoever had the greatest strength would win. Whoever doesn't want to order wins, and where to talk about what skills.

Hu Luzheng said that if you don't believe it, let's try. Pick the one with the greatest strength, and fight me with your bare hands, and see who we win.

The brethren were bent on crushing him. He found a northern soldier who was recognized as the most powerful in the battalion and whispered to him for a while. As soon as the two of them stood facing each other, the big man pressed over like a landslide. His hands grabbed Hu Luzheng's shoulders. Hu Luzheng pretended to pull back, and the big man sank back hard. Hu Luzheng stepped forward with one foot behind his opponent. A smack of the big man's chin with an elbow knocks him down in an instant. When the latter rolled and rolled over, Hu Luzheng's palm was already on his neck, making a throat cut.

The big man was not convinced, turned over and stood up, confronted Hu Luzheng for a short while, kicked the ground suddenly, and flew into Hu Luzheng. The speed is fast, the momentum is fierce, and if Hu Luzheng is bumped in, he can't stop without two or three heels. Before the two of them could meet, Hu Luzheng had already fallen to the ground on his back, as if the wind driven by the big man had blown him down. The moment he fell, his legs bent and then stretched, and he was kicking on the big man's stomach, and with the force of his forward flight, he was sent to a place seven or eight steps behind Hu Luzheng's head.

The brothers were stunned and then applauded.

Chen Song said that this is useful, everyone has nothing to practice, and they may be able to rely on this to save their lives at critical moments.

Then it's good to practice, and it's a game.

Today, Hu Luzheng wants to teach everyone the "wolf wrestling technique". Hu Luzheng said that I have never fallen a wolf, and neither have the people around me, but the Xianbei elders have always called this throwing method "wolf wrestling technique". They have not fallen from wolves, and they have also listened to their elders. You are herding sheep in the wild, or you are tired of walking, you may encounter wolves. The wolf is cunning, and when it encounters a strong person like me, it will not risk a frontal attack, it will sneak attack. You sit there, and its paws will be on your shoulders from behind. You think someone is greeting you, and you will naturally turn your head to look, and then it will bite you on the neck. The old man said that if something falls on your shoulder, you must reach out and touch it first, and if it touches a furry paw, remember never to look back. You can't panic, you have to immediately grab the wolf's claws, put your head back, put your head against the wolf's neck, and then bend down suddenly, and at the same time throw your hands forward, over the top of your head and throw the wolf out. The wolf was frightened, and before you could kill it, it fled. If you use this method to throw someone, the fatter and bigger the person, the harder you fall.

I called a soldier and said that if you are a wolf, I will throw you.

The brother came and said that if you were a woman, I would be willing to be a wolf. Loosely put his hands on Hu Luzheng's shoulders, and his lower body made a very obscene appearance of pushing in and out, and the people next to him laughed evilly. But this kind of laughter was immediately frozen, because before everyone could see the essentials of Hu Luzheng's movements, this soldier had already flown out of Hu Luzheng's head. The latter deliberately vented his strength, otherwise this guy who was willing to be a pervert would already be half like a merry ghost.

Chen Song's eyes are sharp, and he said what's going on with your ass.

Hu Lvzheng thumbs up! Brother, you're really a martial arts expert, you saw the idea at a glance. When using this wolf wrestling technique, you can't be slow, you must be fast and ruthless. Quickly bend down at the waist and pull your arms forward so that the enemy has no time to resist you; Ruthless means to push his bottom plate with his ass fiercely. He couldn't stand on his feet at all. When the action is complete, you should be pouting your ass and burying it low. Well, that's what it looks like.

Chen Song came to the end. Said let me try it too.

The soldiers had already seen the power of this trick and hid back. Chen Song smiled and said You bunch of rabbit cubs, you actually dare to retreat from the battle, be careful of my art of war.

Finally, a sturdy soldier came. Chen Song followed the essentials of Hu Luzheng's words, and threw him to the ground at once. He got up from the ground and took two dizzy steps, nearly colliding with a herald running by.

The herald said that General Shen asked Lord Chen and Lord Hu Lu to come over to discuss the matter.

After they arrived, they didn't see Shen Tianzi come out for a long time. The owners of the building squeezed their eyebrows, knowing that the hero might still be trapped in the beauty pass at this time.

When Shen Tianzi was in Chang'an. I fell in love with two young courtesans, after leaving the town, I sent someone to pick them up quietly, and since then I sang songs every night, indulged in wine every day, and the handsome tent became a wedding tent, and the bed was as wide as a battlefield, and the wind and clouds turned into clouds and rain in Wushan, and the crotch was no longer a saddle. The fast knife is hard to break and linger, and it has hardly stopped. Messing around at night, sleeping during the day, and nothing in the army has anything to do with it. Today, I will ask Zhou Gong for advice in the middle of Japan. When the envoy of Chang'an came to see him. He was unkempt, undrunk, and had two huge dark circles under his eyes. When writing a receipt of military orders to the emissary. The pen is shaking all the time.

The envoy brought Liu Yizhen's written order to assemble the three armies at once. To meet Helian Xuan, there must be no delay. After the messenger left. Shen Tianzi asked the herald to summon the owner of the building, and he lazily went to the back hall to wash. This is an hour. The owners drank a few dishes of tea in the front hall, sprinkled a soak of urine, and told countless jokes, the cold bed should be hot, and they haven't seen the lord appear, so they can't urge or leave, and they all secretly curse their mothers. At this moment, Shen Tianzi's robe has been stripped off, and two bewitching and willful girls are using their means on him, he scolded in his mouth and said that Lao Tzu has military affairs, you Ma Li will get out of my way, but his hand did not leave the slightest meaning of the crisp chest, and the mouth was immediately blocked by the girl's body, and the most important part was quenched by lust. When he finally appeared in front of the masters, his sharp-eyed subordinates couldn't help laughing, for the fat on his body was too domineering, and the scars on his neck were too dazzling, and they imagined that there must be more than this on him.

Shen Tianzi shook the paper in his hand and asked a literate building master to read it to everyone.

"Tell me everything, what should I do?"

What else can I do? Since it is the Jun decree from Liu Yizhen in Chang'an, and the name and official seal of Sima Wang Zhenwei are countersigned, it is the supreme general's order, and there is no second choice except to comply with it.

Chen Song said that the people of Daxia suddenly marched into the army at this time, which was to bully us southerners who were afraid of the cold, and did not move to fight as usual in the harsh winter, and the fight was a calculation to surprise the enemy. If we do the opposite, send troops in the cold and suddenly meet them, it will naturally be beyond their expectations. The last general advocated not only sending troops, but also the sooner the better, waiting for them to gain a firm foothold and attack them fiercely.

Shen Tianzi was silent.

Hu Luzheng said that since there is an order to send troops, it is better to fight out. The Flying Cavalry has not experienced a major war since it was formed, and it is just a good time to experience it. We can first send some rangers out to cut off their food routes, capture their scouts, and disturb their morale. When the army is combined, you can use the Flying Cavalry to launch a surprise attack from the flank and rear.

Shen Tianzi was silent.

Another owner said that if our enemy was Wang Maide, we should be very careful to deal with it. This person was originally known for his good fighting in Yao Qin's army, and now he is Helian's brilliant thinker, and he is an old and handsome talent. If Helian Bo was to fight in person, he would have to fight with the spirits, he was not only fierce, but also cunning. As for this Helian Bobo, he is Helian Bobo's son, although the tiger father has no dogs, but if he could really fight, we would have heard about it a long time ago. It is estimated that Helian Bobo also thinks that we will not seriously meet the enemy, so let his son practice. With the general's courage and the lives of the three armies, this yellow-mouthed kid should not be difficult to deal with.

Shen Tianzi was silent.

The owners were at a loss. Shen Tianzi doesn't talk much, but he is by no means a taciturn person. In the past, when convening generals to discuss matters, they generally did not ask for opinions from their subordinates, and the meeting was held to ask everyone to do what he thought. He has always been active in seeking war, bravely rushing to kill, and when he encounters war, he is confident, but now it is like a different person, the power of the tiger and leopard is no longer there, and the spirit of the commission is full.

Since Liu Yu left, he was ashamed of being controlled by Wang Zhen's evil, and never went to Chang'an to discuss matters such as army training and training. They were all thrown to the owners of the building to take care of, and they were only proofread once in person. Big winter. The officers and soldiers of the patrol were bitterly cold, but General Shen indulged in sex day and night in the warm house like spring. It is very different from his previous style, and it has attracted countless complaints. Now that the enemy is present, when he should make a splash and shake the tiger's might, he has died down and refused to come up with the success of the main general, which is a problem. It was his duty to lead troops to war, and it was also the only way for him to gain prestige. If Helian is defeated in this battle, it will ensure that Chang'an is safe and the second son of Taiwei is safe. Then he is the protector of Chang'an, the great hero of the escort, the meritorious service surpasses the evil of Wang Zhen, and he gets the higher standard blue eyes of the Taiwei, and he can think clearly about this truth with his left foot.

For a long time, Shen Tianzi raised his eyes and glanced at everyone.

He had heard enough that he was going to send his generals out.

But he just lazily looked up at the roof, and was silent for a while. After a while, sit up straight. Thumb up your left hand:

"This is Helian Bi, more than 20,000 people, growing in the north. Come prepared for the cold. ”

And he stretched out the little finger of his right hand:

"This one, it's us. Less than 5,000, not accustomed to fighting in the harsh winter. ”

Put your thumb and little finger together:

"If I'm not in a good position. Not only will it lose people, but it will also open the door of Chang'an. Which of you can afford to bear this responsibility? ”

pressed it, didn't hold it down, and finally said what was in his heart:

"If I can't win a battle, lose my troops and lose my territory, won't Wang Zhen take the opportunity to punish me for my crimes?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people were speechless. Chen Song was anxious and quickly weighed the pros and cons, but he couldn't help but stand up:

"Is the general overly concerned? The last general thought that General Wang Zhen would not be so sinister. What's more, how can we lose our troops? At this time, the situation of our army was no worse than that of the Battle of Yaoguan that day. At that time, our troops were still weaker than they are now, and we went deep into the enemy's territory, and the enemy in front of us was more than 10,000 more than today's Xia army. Now that we are the home field, and the Xia soldiers are the guest army, if we use the same spirit that we used to fight the Qin army at the beginning, and put them to death and come back to life, I believe they will not be able to withstand it either. Although they were accustomed to fighting in winter, they did not have enough food and had to be requisitioned locally. If, as Hu Luzheng said, send light troops to attack and harass, and then ask General Wang Zhenwei to mobilize the people of Guanzhong to clear the wilderness, their military rations will also be very difficult. If we are resolute and resolute in our battles, and can give them a dismount, the people of Guanzhong will see clearly the interests and disadvantages, and distinguish between friends and foes. ”

Several building owners nodded. First defeated the Di people in Weishui, then destroyed Murong Xianbei, and then destroyed the Yao, Qin, and Qiang people, and defeated Tuoba Xianbei in the middle, the Beifu soldiers were not afraid of anyone, why did they change from tigers to rats in front of the Huns in Great Xia?

Shen Tianzi shook his head:

"Chen Song, you open your eyes and look at Guanzhongxing, in our hands, there is actually only one lonely city in Chang'an, and the surrounding important places are all occupied by others. If we break it, who will block the knife for Chang'an, and who will defend the flesh and blood of the captain? ”

Chen Song arched his hand:

"The general is wise, we are going to defend Chang'an. It is precisely because of this that we must be more courageous to fight. Sitting here and waiting for others to fight, you will become more and more passive. The better we fight in the field, the safer Chang'an will be. If the main force of Helian can be annihilated in a battle, it is estimated that it will be able to fight for half a year. When the Jiangdong reinforcements arrive, we will take advantage of the center and defeat the surrounding enemies. The immortal merit is just around the corner, and I hope the general will not hesitate. ”

Shen Tianzi actually yawned, frowned and waved his hand:

"I agree with the second half of what you said, that is, we must wait for reinforcements to come, and we can't ask Meng Lang to fight before. As long as we don't retreat and block the way of Xia Bing's march, it will already be a credit. As for the annihilation of the enemy, be sure to wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”

Seeing that Shen Tianzi had no intention of going to battle, Hu Luzheng couldn't bear it, got up and strode out, snorted fiercely outside the door, got on his horse and galloped away.

Chen Song thought that Shen Tianzi would be furious, but he just smiled sarcastically and reached out to pick his nostrils. When they saw it, they knew that it was useless to talk too much, so they all sat there and hung their heads thinking about their own thoughts. Shen Tianzi picked up, wiped his fingers on his robe, and yawned again:

"Okay, okay, you're willing to fight, that's a good thing. In this way, I won't wait for Jiangnan reinforcements. If I want to go to war, I must let Wang Zhen send reinforcements, and it is best to transfer Fu Hongzhi all the way, and the two ways to enter the army and respond to each other, so that it can be considered comprehensive. I will immediately send someone to Chang'an to inform me of my intentions, and it will be clear in a few days, so you can go back and wait for news." ”

After saying that, he got up, stretched his waist, and staggered to the back hall.

Everyone looked at each other and sighed in unison.

Chen Song returned to the camp, fidgeting, pacing anxiously, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was dangerous. Although he is not the head coach of the aspect, he has been regarded as a "fighting general" by Liu Yu over the years, but he has been in battle for a long time, and he has been thinking about it with all his heart. In his judgment, Shen Tianzi's lazy way of facing the enemy could only make our army lose the initiative, and finally be trapped by the enemy in a small circle. After thinking about it again and again, I wanted to ask Shen Tianzi if he could send the flying cavalry out to test the combat effectiveness of the Xia army in addition to the scouts of the army. After thinking about it, in case it is vetoed, there is not even room for turn, so it is better to cut it first and then play.

Early the next morning, Chen Song sent Hu Luzheng and Mung Dou to lead the best cavalry with more than 100 training tables, and went out of the camp with ten carriages carrying grain and fierce infantry. Their task was, first, to try to fight with the small army of Great Xia, second, to capture as many prisoners as possible, and third, to probe the attitude of the common people. It was agreed that no matter where he went, a spy would be sent back every two days, and the whole team would return on the tenth day, because Chen Song estimated that Chang'an's reply to Shen Tianzi would also arrive at that time, and the information obtained by Hu Luzheng would be revealed to the main general at this time.

Hu Luzheng whistled, and flew out of the camp gate first, and the excited cavalrymen and horses were sprayed with white mist, rumbling to follow, and then the infantry archers and lancers in the carriage talked and laughed, waving to the remaining brothers.

They stand out in the snowy wilderness.

But it was soon swallowed up by the boundless northern land. (To be continued......)
