Chapter 434: Snowy Night March
Wuliang Fort is an unknown dock fort, there are dozens of families living in the dock fort, there are nearly a thousand soldiers, in Wuliang Fort, a relatively spacious room, the fire is shining, the charcoal is burning in the hall, there is a burst of Bibo Bibo sound, above the stove, it is not steaming, a tempting aroma permeates the whole room, this is the smell of dog meat. Fort generals Zhang Ju and Liu Min were drinking together, eating dog meat, and their small lives were very leisurely. The two themselves are friends, Zhang Ju is the general of Wuliang Fort, Liu Min is the general of Mingshan Fort, which is eighty miles away from Wuliang Fort, at this time the snow is getting heavier and heavier, Liu Min took the opportunity to come to Wuliang Fort.
"Brother Zhang, we can still have a better time this winter, but next spring, I'm afraid we will be a little bad." Liu Min took a bite of dog meat and sighed: "In this troubled world, don't say it's this mouthful of dog meat!" Even a sip of wine is enjoyable! I just don't know if this kind of enjoyment will be able to be enjoyed at this time next year. ”
"Brother Xian is talking about Honghua's Li Xin?" Zhang Ju's face changed, his eyes showed fear, and he said: "Hehe, my Wuliang Fort is the front of Honghua, if Li Xin wants to attack Yan'an, the first one to deal with is us, and the next one is you, the elite level of the Great Sui soldiers and horses is ours!" ”
"Can Brother Zhang resist Li Xin's attack?" Liu Min couldn't help but ask.
"How is that possible?" Zhang Ju shook his head and said: "Even the Turks are not his opponents, how many people do we have, five or six hundred, how can we resist Li Xin's attack." It's just a way to die. Hey, if Li Xin doesn't attack us at the beginning of next year, I'll find a way to change some money to another place! In this place, sooner or later, it is looking for death. ”
"Where there is such a good thing, His Majesty the Emperor will not agree." Liu Min shook his head and said disdainfully: "His Majesty the Emperor himself took advantage of Li Xin's Eastern Expedition to seize Shuofang and pull the flag to rebel, and now that Li Xin's army is coming, his first thought is how to convince the Turks." Use reinforcements from the Turks to deal with Li Xin. The longer the time drags on, the less pressure His Majesty the Emperor will have, tsk, the front. He wants us to fight to the last man. You and I are just substitutes for the dead. ”
"Damn." Zhang Ju's face is not good-looking, although the general will inevitably Zhen Shangwang, but the feeling of being regarded as a substitute for the dead is still very unpleasant. Zhang Ju's face was gloomy as water, and he said in a low voice: "It's really sad, you and I are hundreds of people in front of the army. It doesn't have any effect at all, I think you and I are also armed with martial arts, although it is not ten thousand enemies, but ordinary three or five people can't get close, but it's just a fort general, hey, if you can, you are really willing to go to the Tang King, the Tang King employs people on the basis of merit, as long as he has the ability. If you can be promoted and make a fortune, it's better than being under Liang Shidu! ”
"Brother Zhang, are you going to do it?" Liu Min's face suddenly showed a strange look, and he looked at Zhang Ju with a complicated expression.
"Hey! Although it is an exit in a hurry, but in fact, it is all like this, if Tang Wang didn't pay attention to it before, we are not afraid of anything, but now Tang Wang attaches importance to it. Personally lead the army to come, do you think we still have a show? Zhang Ju looked at Liu Min and sighed: "It's not that I'm not loyal to Emperor Daliang, but the current situation makes me feel powerless to return to heaven as a brother." ”
"What my brother said is very true, but it has not yet reached that point. Everything will have to wait until next spring, if the Turks send troops, we may not be hopeless, if so" Liu Min did not finish speaking, suddenly his face changed greatly, and Zhang Ju and the two glanced at each other. In the end, I couldn't help but shout loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack." At that moment, he and Zhang Ju got up from the kang, quickly put on their armor, took their weapons and rushed outside.
And in the dock fort has long been a chaos, countless war horses galloped on the earth, the earth trembled, everyone in the dock fort could feel it, and when everyone felt the city wall, they found that the distance was already dense white, the entire dock fort was surrounded in it, and not even a bird could get out.
"Light the wolf smoke." Zhang Juzheng was waiting for someone to light wolf smoke and remind the next dock fort, but was stopped by Liu Min.
"Brother Zhang, is it useful to light wolf smoke now? Can we still escape? Liu Min pointed to the distance, only to see a tall horse in the distance, a person was snow-white, but he was holding a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, next to him, there were two people, one was a tall and strong man, holding a long lance, and the other person was thin, in the crowd, as if a gust of wind could blow away, but this person was holding a double hammer, majestic.
"Li, Li Xuanba?" The boss who opened his mouth couldn't help but look at the people and horses in the distance, his face was pale, the entire northwest, who didn't know that Li Xuanba was holding a double hammer in his hand, extremely brave, crisscrossing the northwest, no one was invincible, and this person was killing people like hemp, on a battlefield, like a madman, I didn't expect this person to be in the army. Then the origin of this army is very clear, it was Li Xin who personally led the army.
"It was Li Xin who personally led the army, I didn't expect Li Xin to have such courage, at this time, when the snow was falling, the army attacked, no wonder we didn't notice it under our noses, not aware of it, but the sentinels along the way have been wiped out by Li Xin. That's why it's so easy to kill. Liu Min smiled bitterly: "What should Brother Zhang do now?" ”
"What else can I do?" Zhang Ju looked at the white one in the distance, and said with a wry smile: "Either die in battle, or surrender." Brother Xian, what do you think should be chosen? ”
Liu Min was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Li Xinxue's attack at night is not only fast, but more importantly, it is more important to surprise him, so that he can be unprepared. If our dock fort does not surrender, Li Xin will definitely kill the entire dock fort in order to cover his whereabouts. You and I can't escape. ”
"And you mean surrender?" Zhang Ju's face struggled for a while, and he said with some hesitation. If you don't fight, you will surrender, Zhang Ju is still a little unwilling in his heart.
"Lonely King Li Xin, personally lead the troops here, and you still won't surrender?" Li Xin rode his war horse and slowly stepped forward and said loudly.
"Surrender!" Zhang Ju looked at the soldiers outside, riding quietly on the horse, there was no movement for a long time, Zhang Ju finally let people put down their weapons, and then opened the fort door, walked out with Liu Min, and fell to the ground.
"The criminal general Zhang Ju (Liu Min) visited the prime minister." Zhang Ju and Liu Min bowed down, and behind him, all the soldiers in Wuliang Fort knelt on the ground one after another, with a worried look on their faces, for fear that Li Xin would poison everyone.
"Liu Min? The fort commander of Naruyama Fort? How did you end up here? Li Xin looked at Liu Min in surprise, according to intelligence, Liu Min should be in Mingshan Fort at the moment, but he didn't expect to appear in Wuliang Fort.
"Sin General, Sin General and Brother Zhang are friends, now that the snow is covered, Sin General, Sin General will come to catch up with Brother Zhang." Liu Min's face was slightly red, but he was unlucky today, he didn't expect to meet Li Xin here, and he would be surrounded by the opponent's large army, and it would be difficult to fly. This made Liu Min bitter and unspeakable.
"I really didn't expect to be so lucky to meet you today." Li Xin was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect to meet Liu Min here, and he also surrendered, which means that he will not meet resistance in the next dock fort.
"The sin will hear the prestige of the prime minister for a long time, and he is willing to take Mingshan Fort for the prime minister." Liu Min was also bitter, if he hadn't come to Wuliangbao, he wouldn't have been so unlucky, let Li Xin catch him, this is really providence. Of course, Liu Min knew that even if he didn't meet Li Xin today, when Li Xin's army arrived at Mingshan Fort, the situation he faced would be the same.
"Good." Li Xin nodded with satisfaction and said: "The general understands the righteousness, the lone king likes it very much, after the extermination of the Liang Shidu, on the day he returns to Beijing, he will have his own reward, and if there is any merit in the future, it is not impossible to pay homage to the marquis." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Min was pleasantly surprised, although he knew that Li Xin was just saying it casually, but this was also giving himself hope that if Li Xin ascended the throne and became the emperor, he would definitely be a meritorious hero, and as long as he made a contribution, he might not be able to be a marquis.
"Prime Minister, the last general is also willing to open the dock fort in front for the prime minister, the defending general at the south gate of Yan'an City is the in-law of the last general, the prime minister, the last general is willing to persuade the last general's in-laws for the prime minister, so as to open the city gate and let the prime minister enter Yan'an." Zhang Ju said loudly, he was excited, and Li Xin said the words of the marquis, which made Zhang Ju very excited in his heart.
"That's very good." Li Xin nodded, very excited in his heart, the reason why he did not attack Wuliang Fort at the first time, but chose to force the enemy to surrender, was to force the enemy to submit to him, so that he could use the least possible possibility to obtain Yan'an City. These guys sit in various dock forts on weekdays and become fort generals, and there are no three or five relatives and friends in Yan'an City. Under the general trend, these guys will definitely surrender.
"Prime Minister, the weather is cold, shall I wait for the first time to enter the dock fort and rest for the time being." Seeing Li Xin's smile, Zhang Ju couldn't help but say boldly.
"No need, the two of you will lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to follow me to Yan'an City." Li Xin came with a wine bag from the side, threw it to Zhang Ju and said: "Drink some wine to warm up, wait for the next stop, rest for a while, within five days, we must arrive at the city of Yan'an, what we have to do is to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared, I am afraid that such heavy snow will fall intermittently for four or five days, this is our opportunity." ”
"Yes, Prime Minister, the last general will prepare for this." Zhang Ju was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Li Xin to govern the army so strictly, no wonder he could create such a big foundation, so Liang Shi was unlucky, and he actually met a man like Li Xin, how could the foundation not be taken away. Zhang Ju not only did not have any fear, but was more excited, which was the opportunity to make contributions. (To be continued.) )
