Chapter 93: The Beginning of the Nightmare (3)
After a while, four men in brown peasant clothes turned out from behind the stones and trees, their weapons in their hands, and looked at the young man with wary faces.
The young man tightened the small burden on his back, patted his hands twice on his body, signaled that there were no weapons, and walked to the edge of the cliff, looked twice at the vast Loess Plateau to the west, and sighed: "What a magnificent scenery! It's a pity, what we have to do is always a bad thing! ”
"Who are you? What are you doing here? A "farmer" shouted.
"Okay, is there a farmer with a knife? Put away the knife! The young man carefully removed the burden from his back, put it at his heels, sat down on the big rock, picked up his right leg in front of him, and chuckled, "I was sent by Lord Lin to see your family to recruit envoys!" ”
The "farmer" immediately became nervous, waved the knife in his hand, and roared angrily: "What kind of trick, what nonsense are you talking about? ”
"Take it easy. If I were the enemy, you would have been lying down long ago! The young man took off the shoe on his right foot, took out a folded tissue paper from the sole, unfolded it and said, "This is a handwritten letter from Lord Lin Fenglin of my family, and I am his subordinate Zheng Yucong, so I don't need to say the name of your family again, right?" ”
The Northern Han soldier, disguised as a farmer, glanced at the other three, stepped forward and took the paper, carefully examining the bright red Shouzhou Thorn Shi Great Seal on the lower part of the paper.
Zheng Yucong stood up, beat the soil on his body with both hands, carried the little burden again, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and go, our Lord Lin has something good to give to your Highness!" ”
The group of five people circled around for a while, and along the way, hidden soldiers continued to emerge from behind the stones, staring at Zheng Yucong vigilantly.
Zheng Yucong gestured to everyone with a slight bow, looking around like a hospitable tourist.
In front of a cave, more than a dozen strong men surrounded Zheng Yucong in the middle, and Liu Chengjun, who was also dressed as a farmer, walked out of the cave and took the letter from the soldiers.
The content of the letter is very simple, only three lines: "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 pursue; Guerrilla strikes, space for time, piecemeal, small wins for big wins; The interests are one, integrated into the people, launched by the people, and the people's war. ”
Zheng Yucong bowed to the end, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Lin asked Zheng to pay tribute to the envoy, and it is rare to be able to hold on behind enemy lines with the respect of the prince of a country, and I really admire it in the next place!" ”
Liu Chengjun looked at the familiar font on the paper, which was still very ugly, completely believed the person in front of him, and asked, "Does Lord Lin have any other explanations?" ”
Zheng Yucong unloaded the small burden on his body, handed it over, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Lin has sent the best support!" ”
A soldier took the small baggage and set it aside.
A strong man stepped forward, frowned and asked, "Your surname is Zheng, right?" How can you find here? ”
Zheng Yucong looked at the small burden placed on the ground, shook his head and smiled: "Judging from the eyes of our Datang special soldiers, everything you have is too easy to see through!" ”
"You-" The strong man's eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to get angry, but he was stopped by Liu Chengjun, and he asked Zheng Yucong for advice.
Zheng Yucong smiled, revealing a pair of white teeth: "Luliang Mountain runs through the north and south, overlooking the east and west, it is a good place to hide, and you use Luliang Mountain as a guerrilla base area, which is a reasonable choice." The defense along the way was okay, and the vigilance was okay. But if we let our special forces attack, your overall arrangement is full of loopholes! ”
The surrounding Northern Han soldiers all glared angrily at this outspoken guy.
Zheng Yucong lightly stomped on the stone under his feet and said softly: "Let's talk about your defense here, the positions overlap, the mutual cover is not enough, and there are too many blind spots for surveillance, each of our special soldiers can easily touch it and smash your command center!" ”
Looking at the questioning eyes of the surrounding soldiers, Zheng Yucong smiled lightly, and the person slid to the east side, falling directly into the deep cliff, and when Liu Chengjun and others rushed to the edge of the cliff to check, they had already disappeared. Just when everyone couldn't find him back and forth and was confused, a long laugh came from behind a big tree on the west side, and Zheng Yucong walked out leisurely, without a trace of dust on his body.
Facts speak louder than words, and none of the Northern Han soldiers at the scene could see how Zheng Yucong disappeared and how he appeared, so that he knew that what he said was true.
"General Zheng is very skilled, please continue to teach!" Liu Chengjun bowed.
Zheng Yucong shook his head slightly, and continued: "I swam across the Fen River alone, and as soon as I got ashore, I found that your people were hiding, but they didn't notice me, so I easily followed the route of their ambush in reverse, and then inferred from the increasing number of your guards, this is your base camp!" In addition, after your soldiers saw me, they did not subdue me immediately, and the soldiers who were ambushed in the later stage took the initiative to reveal their figures and positions. If our training is so careless, we will be scolded to death by Lord Lin! ”
Liu Chengjun and the strong man behind him all showed embarrassed smiles.
Zheng Yucong's face became more solemn, pointing in the direction of Jinju City in the east, and continued: "When I was ordered to sneak to Jinju, I found that Jinju City had fallen, and there were mountains of Han army corpses piled up outside the city, some of which were burned to the ground. If we analyze it from the perspective of our special soldiers, Jinju City is no longer strong, and the trenches are not deep, so why bother to fight with more than ten times the enemy, it is better to immediately avoid its edge, adopt wolf pack tactics, and then slowly bite at a distance, which is the choice to preserve strength and plan for the long term! The logistics of grain and grass alone are destined to make it impossible for them to stay in Sanzhou for a long time! ”
Hearing Zheng Yucong's words, Liu Chengjun thought of the nearly 1,000 brothers who were trapped in the city and died in the fire in the street battle of Jinzhou City, and his heart ached, and two lines of tears welled up. If those brothers who had survived the bloody battle to defend the city had survived, the situation would undoubtedly be much better!
Zheng Yucong saw Liu Chengjun's tears, his heart was also soft, and then pointed to the direction of Xizhou City, and said in a slow tone: "Luliang Mountain is okay as the most retreating place, but there is no food here, no one is there, and water sources are difficult to find, so it is definitely not a place to stay for a long time." If the enemies of the three states unite and trap this mountain, how long can you hold out, and where will you go? ”
Liu Chengjun was shocked. He didn't think about this problem, but for his safety, a group of subordinates insisted on placing the base in Xiaoxitian, Luliang Mountain, and plunged straight from the peak to the north, so that he could easily withdraw to the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty, which could be regarded as a place to advance and retreat.
"Excuse me, how many Northern Han people are there in Sanzhou now?" Zheng Yucong asked suddenly.
"About 500000, scattered in the land of three states." Liu Chengjun said slowly. Since the Northern Han army forced all the residents of Sanzhou to leave with a knife, because of the continuous attack on Jinzhou in the Later Zhou, although the vast majority of soldiers have been allocated a lot of land, there are still very few Northern Han who really dare to move their families into the land of Sanzhou.
Zheng Yucong's eyes were sharp, staring at the scattered points of light in Xizhou City, and said word by word: "Since they have come in, they should know that this is a road of no return!" Either follow you to pick up the knife and resist the Zhou soldiers, or you will wait to be driven away and killed by the Later Zhou soldiers and the returning natives! Personally, I suggest that you sneak out of the mountains, go among them, arm them all, and fight a way out with your knives with them, and carve out a land of your own! ”
Liu Chengjun's eyes lit up, and he bent down deeply to thank Zheng Yucong.
Zheng Yucong hurriedly returned the salute, pointed to the burden that was still placed on the ground, and said with a smile: "When you really build a base area, Lord Lin will make arrangements and send the best weapons over one after another." Now, only a few earth-shattering thunderbolts have been delivered! ”
"Heaven-shattering thunder? Is it the legendary Heavenly Divine Weapon used by Lord Lin when he attacked Qingyuan? Liu Chengjun became ecstatic, grabbed Zheng Yucong's arm, turned his head and ordered the little burden to be put away quickly.
"The enemy's 'sparrow warfare' made us break our brains, and we were dragged to the exhaustion, and later, we didn't dare to go out of the city at all, and the Northern Han soldiers with the Xiao Tang Divine Soldiers and the earth-shaking thunder would even swagger around outside the city wall, so that we could not do anything in vain......" This is a passage that Wang Yan, the envoy of the Jinzhou Festival of the Later Zhou Dynasty, often recited in his later years, he regarded the entire Jinzhou and Sanzhou conquest as an unbearable memory of defeat, and the Northern Han Dynasty died around Luliang Mountain, The all-out guerrilla in the land of the three states is the beginning of a big nightmare!
