"General Liu, wake up, wake up, it's time to get up and eat, we have to rush to Hongnong after eating, and when we get to Hongnong, we will rest again, wake up, wake up."

"Wei Shangshu, it's time to get up, please wake up, wake up, we have to rush to Hongnong! Wei Shangshu, Wei stays behind, it's time to get up, please, it's time to get up. ”

"Brethren, it's time to get up! Get up! Wake up and eat! After eating, I went to Hongnong, and when I arrived at Hongnong, I had a good rest! ”

Similar shouts and urgings came and went one after another in the Cangcheng of Changping, in order to wake up Liu Changgong's team as much as possible, the defenders of the **** and Changping almost went out of the nest, urging the generals and soldiers of Liu Changgong's team to get up one by one, but what answered them was the snoring one after another, and the dreamlike answer, "Don't eat, let me sleep again." And General Liu Changgong's big feet, "Get out of your mother!" Let Lao Tzu sleep again! ”

This time I really can't blame the Sui soldiers for being too lazy, the key is that the Sui soldiers under Liu Changgong are too tired, after the big U-turn, Liu Changgong's team in about five hours, Leng is to complete the 110-mile road from Michi to Hangu Pass, and then undertake the ambush battle team, and then retreat from Hangu Pass overnight to Chang Ping, 20 miles away, after repeated hard work, the pampered Liu Changgong team has already been exhausted, just lay down and slept like a dead pig, in the case of only two hours of rest, report **** The soldiers were able to wake them all up at once, which would be strange.

Of course, Chen Yingliang also understands this, but Chen Yingliang understands that every minute and every second is invaluable to the Sui army team now, and after tossing for nearly half an hour without seeing any effect, Chen Yingliang gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and simply asked the soldiers to bring a bucket of water, scooped it with his own hands, and splashed all the cold water on Liu Changgong's face, as a result, Liu Changgong, who was snoring like thunder, woke up immediately, and a carp jumped up, and then pulled out the sidecar and scolded, "Fuck you!" Who the fuck splashed General Ben with water? I want to die! ”

"Brother Liu, it's me." Chen Yingliang hurriedly said: "I can't wake you up, I have no choice but to use such means, where I offend, I will make amends to you when I get to Hongnong." ”

Liu Changgong, who eats people with a soft mouth and short hands, and has picked up countless cheap ones behind Chen Yingliang's buttocks, is embarrassed to continue to get angry, wiping the cold water on his face, yawning and saying: "It's Brother Yingliang, my own brother, what else is there to make amends?" What time is it? ”

"The hour has passed." Chen Yingliang replied: "Brother Liu, you can't sleep anymore, quickly order your team to get up, we have to rush to Hongnong, and when we get to Hongnong, you can rest again." ”

"The first moment?" Liu Changgong was so angry that he trembled a little, and said with a strong anger: "Brother Yingliang, we have only slept for two hours, and you forced us to get up?" Do you know how many miles we ran yesterday? ”

"Brother Liu, I know you're tired, and I know you're hard." Chen Yingliang said helplessly: "But there is no way, the traitor team is close at hand, in order to survive, they will definitely rush to Guanzhong in front of us at any cost, if we want to prevent Yang rebels from entering the customs, we can only fight with them to speed up, rush to Tongguan in front of them to increase the guard, so before rushing to Tongguan, no matter how hard your team is, you must hold on!" ”

After all, there is a military order, no matter how much Liu Changgong is on fire, he can only accept Chen Yingliang's request, first splashed his own soldiers with water, and then scolded and scolded his own personal soldiers to urge the team to get up, and was forced to use water to splash whips and whip the soldiers to force the soldiers to get up.

Only Wei Xuan, no one dared to splash water - not to mention his identity, just to say that he was seventy-three years old, and no one dared to guarantee what the consequences would be if he splashed a scoop of cold water while he was asleep. But fortunately, he was the only one who could do it, and it was enough to arrange a light carriage to carry him up, and it would not affect the speed of thousands of troops carrying a carriage on the road.

After tossing these things, it was already three minutes, and Chen Yingliang, who had been delayed for an hour and a half, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said goodbye to Yao Yi, the county commander of Shaanxi County, and Duguxiu, the general of Changping, and led the team of Bao **** and Liu Changgong to go west together. Before leaving, Chen Yingliang naturally had to ask Yao Yi and Duguxiu, who were quite happy to cooperate, to be careful, Yao Yi and Duguxiu also told Chen Yingliang to take care of himself, and at the same time told Chen Yingliang that if the rebel team did not come to attack Shaanxi Chengchi and Changping City, if the rebels dared to come, even if they were doomed to defeat even if they were not strong enough, they would have to delay the main force of the rebels for more than a day, and give Chen Yingliang precious time to reinforce Tongguan.

Although Chen Yingliang and Liu Changgong urged repeatedly, the Sui army team that consumed too much in the first day could not raise the speed anyway, and barely walked fifteen or sixteen miles after walking for an hour, many soldiers still dozed off while walking, no matter how Chen Yingliang cheered and cheered, it was ineffective, and the Sui army team still couldn't get up quickly, and there was a tendency to go slower and slower.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yingliang, who was worried that the rebels would be in front, was of course anxious, if it weren't for the fear of hurting morale too much, Chen Yingliang would have wanted to personally lift the horsewhip and whip people. In this regard, Liu Changgong was unimpressed, and said with a yawn: "Brother Yingliang, don't worry, don't hurry, it's only more than sixty miles from Chang Ping to Hongnong, we will definitely be able to finish before dark, Yang Xuangan is as tired as us, and the speed is definitely not fast." Besides, we haven't received the rear alarm yet, have we? ”

"Brother Liu, it's not that I forced you, you have to be careful." Chen Yingliang said with a sad face: "Yang Xuangan's traitor team is too much, once he catches up with us, he can immediately entangle us, and at the same time divide his troops to make a detour forward, and seize the narrow road from Hongnong to Tongguan in advance, if he succeeds, we will be finished." ”

"But Yang rebels haven't caught up after all, have they?" Liu Changgong yawned again, and said lazily: "Don't worry, Yang rebels really dare to catch up, brother, I'll fight side by side with you this time, you charge into battle, I'll fill in the gaps for you, don't give the traitors a chance to cross us, it's okay?" ”

Chen Yingliang didn't speak with a straight face, just turned his eyes to see the mountains and mountains on both sides of the road, in the north, there was the old road of Hanguguan during the Warring States Period, although the road was abandoned for many years, but the population of Guanzhong and the Central Plains has increased dramatically over the years, with the demand for road traffic becoming more and more hit, the waste road has long been reincarnated, and no one dares to guarantee that the rebel army will take this old road to the west. In the depths of the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains in the south, there are countless remote mountain roads, even the head snake Yang Zhiji, he does not dare to guarantee that he knows every remote road, and he can't take out so many troops to intercept every remote mountain range, if there is a guide who is familiar with the terrain in the rebel team, it is not impossible to cross the Sui army team and advance westward first.

Considering these dangers, the worried Chen Yingliang inevitably hated the stubbornness of the old stubborn Wei Xuan, if it weren't for his stubbornness, for the sake of face, he insisted on blocking the main force of the rebels in Mianchi, how could there be these dangers? If Wei Xuan can give up the Cuihan Dangerous Road and return to the safest Tongguan line in advance, this narrow and long Cuihan Road will definitely be the burial place of the main force of the rebels! But now, Chen Yingliang himself is a little unsure of whose burial place Cuihan Dao will be.

The more worried the more hell they see, just after noon, when the exhausted Sui army finally crossed the county town of Taolin and arrived at the Taolin Sai area where An Lushan broke Ge Shuhan, the Sui army team suddenly thundered behind the horses' hooves, and a large number of rebels chased after them. Seeing this scene, Chen Yingliang hurriedly ordered the Baoguo army to turn back to meet the battle, and arranged for the soldiers to quickly climb to a high place to observe the enemy's situation from a high position, and beware of the rebel team from moving forward.

After arranging this qiē, the rebel cavalry had chased to the nearest place, reined in the horse's head three hundred steps in front of the Sui army, and shouted and scolded the battle, Chen Yingliang naturally would not be angered by the enemy, but calmly observed the enemy's situation, and found that the number of this rebel cavalry was about 1,000 people, and he didn't know that it was Yang Xuangan's brother commander under the banner of Yang Zi, and at the same time, the Sui soldiers who climbed on the high place also reported loudly, saying that behind the rebel cavalry, the infantry team was not found, Chen Yingliang was a little relieved, knowing that it was only based on the **** team, it was enough to pack up this rebel cavalry.

At this time, Wei Xuan's stubborn old man finally woke up, got out of the car and came to Chen Yingliang's front to observe the enemy situation together, seeing that the rebel cavalry was just shouting and scolding, Wei Xuan couldn't help but be very surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Since the traitor's cavalry team has caught up with us, why don't you come to fight?" ”

"Because they don't want to fight, they just want to pester us." Chen Yingliang replied: "Entangled with us, they can not only buy time for the arrival of the main force of infantry, but also cover their other teams to intersperse forward, take a detour in front of us to seize the dangerous terrain, and block our way forward." ”

"What then?" Wei Xuan asked again.

"The villain is trying to figure it out." Chen Yingliang frowned and replied: "This is a rather difficult tactic, if we turn around and kill the past, they will definitely turn around and run, if we ignore them, they will bite us, so that we dare not go at full speed, slow down our westward speed, if we go at full speed, they will rush up at the first opportunity, give us a few blows, do not seek to hit us hard, as long as it is enough to drag us down." In short, it is just 16 words, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and I disturb, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase. ”

"The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase? In this world, there are still such tactics? Wei Xuan, who had never heard of these sixteen words, was a little speechless.

"There is only a distinction between high and low and cleverly clumsy tactics, and there is nothing noble about it." Chen Yingliang replied coldly: "If we are not in a hurry to reinforce Tongguan and give me enough time, I will keep this tactic better than Yang rebels, so that Yang rebels can't walk thirty miles in a day." ”

After saying it coldly, Chen Yingliang had already come up with a contingency plan, and after whispering a few words in Liu Changgong's ear, Liu Changgong's eyes immediately lit up, laughed and hurriedly went to organize the team to act according to the plan, and waited for a while, when Liu Changgong returned to Chen Yingliang's side and whispered that it had been arranged, Chen Yingliang did not hesitate to order the two regiments of the Baoguo army to charge, and rushed forward to engage the rebel team, and the result was the same as Chen Yingliang expected, the Baoguo army had just rushed halfway, The rebel cavalry had already turned their horses and ran away, and they didn't give the **** a chance to engage in close combat.

Chen Yingliang, who had been mentally prepared for this situation, was of course not surprised, and decisively ordered the whole army to continue to advance westward, racing against time to rush to Hongnong to meet Yang Zhiji. The order was conveyed, and Liu Changgong's team of course ran away without hesitation, but Wei Xuan asked in surprise: "What about the two regiments you sent to pursue?" What do they do? ”

"Wei Shangshu, please rest assured, I have explained, they will only chase three miles at most, and they will be back soon." Chen Yingliang replied quietly, and took Wei Xuan's reins and walked forward.

After walking two or three miles forward, the pursuing Baoguo army team had indeed withdrawn, and at the same time, Wei Xuan suddenly realized that the Sui army team that had been walking in front had urgently cut down some trees and piled them on the side of the road, and when the Sui army team all crossed this narrow area, the Sui army infantry immediately piled up trees and firewood on the road, set fire to it, and after the fire rose, the road was suddenly blocked. Seeing this scene, Wei Xuan of course couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and praised again and again: "Whimsy, whimsy, I can't imagine that in a moment, you can come up with a clever plan to crack the traitor's harassment tactics, it's amazing!" ”

"Wei Shangshu has won the award, and it's just a trick for carving insects, and it doesn't play a big role." Chen Yingliang was modest, and urged: "Wei Shangshu, it's not early, let's leave quickly, don't waste time." ”
