Chapter 41: The Battle of Qingliu Pass
Wu Qing walked to the map on the wall, clicked it in Dingyuan County, northwest of Chuzhou, and said loudly: "Lord Lin said that you must make the most adequate preparations and plan for the worst before acting, especially for war, and you must not be negligent at all.
The main force of the current Zhou State is dominated by the original Tianxiong Army, which dares to shake the Khitan Army, with extraordinary combat power and many talents. If the leader of the Zhou State sent a small number of elites to make a detour to Dingyuan, interspersed from the Shenshan Temple on the north peak, and raided Qingliu Pass. Under such a front and back attack, Qingliu Pass will inevitably not be guaranteed, Chuzhou will also not be guaranteed, and my Jinling Jingshi will also face the crisis of knocking on the door across the river! ”
"It's just talking on paper, I also have the elite of the Tang Dynasty in Qingliu Pass, and I will guard it according to the danger, how can I not protect it?" Huang Fuhui's face froze, and then he reprimanded lightly.
Li Jingsui didn't speak, paced in front of the map, looked at it for a while, and then turned his head and asked Wang Shaoyan: "Is there a way to go as far as Qingliu Pass?" ”
Wang Shaoyan replied with some embarrassment: "The mountain road along the line is rugged and difficult to travel, and the lower officials have heard that the people of Chuzhou have passed through the Qingliu Pass to Shenshan Temple to burn incense, and they have also heard that there are people from Dingyuan who have gone to Shenshan Temple to burn incense. This is a very artistic statement, which not only does not offend Huang Fuhui, but also says the answer that Li Jingsui wants.
Li Jing let out an "oh", nodded to Wu Qing, and continued to ask: "Then according to Wu Duwei's meaning, how to deal with the current situation?" ”
Wu Qing no longer looked at Huang Fuhui, and said eloquently: "The last general is full of confidence in Lord Lin, and believes that he must have a comprehensive plan to deal with the enemy. The last general is short-sighted, and there are only two humble opinions for His Highness's reference: one is to distribute part of our army's grain and grass to Shouzhou as soon as possible, if all the villagers near Shouzhou City pour into the city to avoid trouble, then grain and grass will be the biggest weakness of Shouzhou City! The second is that our Chuzhou and Qingliuguan armies cannot hold on to Lord Lin's plan, but they can implement flexible defense. ”
"Resilient defense? It's an interesting statement, let's talk about it in detail. Li Jingsui said with great interest.
Wu Qing couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at Shouzhou in the northwest direction, before he explained: "His Royal Highness King Qi, this word was also told to you by Lord Lin during his lecture. In view of the current situation of the army, the last general suggested that a part of the elite of each army be selected, mainly cavalry, divided into a joint formation of scouts and combat groups, with Chuzhou as the center, to carry out cross-patrols to the territory of the Tang Dynasty north of the river, reconnoiter the enemy's situation, strangle the enemy's scouts, kill a small group of enemies, retreat when encountering a large group of enemies, and then strangle them after gathering troops. When the time is ripe, we will concentrate all our forces to fight and rush to the aid of Shouzhou. ”
Huang Fuhui's face was now ugly, and his dissatisfaction was even more prevalent, it was this Wu Qing, after going to the special forces, after coming back, he lectured and boasted everywhere about Lin Feng and the special forces, which was good or that, it was annoying, he directly retorted: "So, our whole 50,000 reinforcements are here to watch Shouzhou's jokes?" Isn't this a disservice to the will of the Holy Lord, and the vain Lang Lang spends military rations? ”
"Lord Lin told us that sometimes shooting random arrows may not be effective, but it is a very powerful threat to trigger but not to fire! The last general thinks that as long as I do not lose Chuzhou and Qingliu Pass, and the 50,000 troops are waiting for me, the Zhou army will never dare to easily divide the troops to the south, which is the best support for Shouzhou! Wu Qing still quoted Lin Feng's words, and his reverence for Lin Feng in his expression and tone was not concealed at all.
An anger rose in Huang Fuhui's chest, and he said loudly: "How can the safety of the country be tied to one person? Do you think fighting a war is child's play? ”
Wu Qing saw the old general's flushed face, took two steps back, bowed deeply to the old general, and said in a low voice: "General Huangfu, please calm your anger." In the past, Lord Lin led 30 people to take the Chu State lightly, and even won the Battle of Guiguan with no less than 100,000 people and the Battle of Quanzhou with no less than 200,000 people, and his military talent is beyond doubt. Now that there are more than 50,000 troops stationed in Shouzhou, and Lord Lin has been preparing for the war, he must be very sure of the war in Shouzhou, and he asked General Huangfu to think about it quietly. ”
These words, which were originally full of sincerity, added fuel to the fire, and suddenly completely aroused Huang Fuhui's stinky temper, and he glared angrily and scolded: "Wu Qing, you are in my army, but you have been speaking for others, so how much benefit did Lin Feng give you?" If you're afraid of death, you're afraid of death, why are you talking about so many reasons? ”
According to historical records, this Emperor Fuhui is brave and brave, but he is really a bit of a scoundrel. When he was staying in Beizhou, he had made a bet with others at night, and he couldn't win for a while, so he plotted rebellion with his apprentice, and robbed Yang Rensheng, a general in the middle of the army, and said: "The Son of Heaven is not good to us, he should have let us go home but didn't let him go back, so we simply occupied Beizhou, and turned against his mother." Yang Rensheng resolutely refused, and was immediately killed by Huang Fuhui and them. Later, a colonel in the army was elected by the rebels, did not dare to obey, and was immediately killed.
Huang Fuhui and the others took two bloody heads to meet the general Zhao Zaili. This Zhao Zaili is also a careerist, and immediately agreed, commanded the army to burn Beizhou at night, and made Huangfu Hui the commander of the Mabu army. At this time, Huang Fuhui began to shake his majesty, he led hundreds of cavalry, wantonly plundered in the city, went to a private house, asked his surname, and replied: "The surname is the country." Huang Fuhui said loudly: "I should break the country!" "Kill the whole family. When he arrived at a house again, he still asked his surname, saying, "The surname is Wan." Hui said: "It's enough for me to kill ten thousand families!" "The whole family was slaughtered again.
This night of the massacre is the beginning of Huang Fuhui's fortune. Later, Huang Fuhui and Zhao Zaili supported Tang Mingzong's accession to the throne, and Huang Fuhui was promoted from a soldier to Chenzhou because of this political speculation. However, Zhao Zaili has been bullied to death by Huang Fuhui since then, and he is often extorted a large amount of money by Huang Fuhui, but he does not dare to say more.
Later, Huang Fuhui defected to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and as soon as he arrived, he was given a very high position, and other civil and military generals naturally complained, and often attacked him in private with his historical problems and betrayal of the Tang Dynasty. Once, Huang Fuhui accompanied Tang lord Li Jing on patrol on the Huai River, and was ridiculed by a colleague, which meant that people like him were not very reliable. The angry Huangfu Hui angrily threw himself into the water to show his determination, and Li Jing urgently ordered his subordinates to fish him up and personally comforted him. Soon, Li Jing gave him the position of Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Divine Guard.
Wu Qing's already reddened face suddenly turned red, looking a little black and purple, and he bowed down to Li Jingsui and hugged his fists and said: "Your Highness, the last general is just saying his opinion on the battle situation, but he is by no means afraid of death!" Ask His Highness to allow the last general to go to Shouzhou alone to meet the enemy, and the last general will live and die with Shouzhou! ”
Li Jingsui said with a smile: "Military discussion, military discussion, no matter how can it be called a military discussion?" The old general is old and spicy, and he still needs to be so angry when he is old? Come on, let's dissipate our anger, let's talk about it again! ”
Although King Qi played a round in the middle, the two protagonists of the argument were no longer silent, and the others had nothing to say, so the military discussion could not be discussed. However, before the meeting was dismissed, Li Jingsui directly appointed Wu Qing as his deputy general, and was transferred from the Fenghua army, and at the same time selected several other people with special training experience to assist him, and was specially responsible for forming a joint reconnaissance group to begin to inspect the surroundings of Chuzhou.
This appointment has fully demonstrated that Li Jingsui basically agreed with Wu Qing's defensive thinking, and Huang Fuhui's face became more and more ugly, and he threw away his sleeves.
At this time in Haozhou, Assassin Shi Guo Tingwei came back from a visit outside, washed and cleaned up, brewed a pot of Biluo Chun, drank a cup beautifully, and then picked up the urgent letter that had been on the table for a day.
The urgent letter was sent by Lin Feng, and it was deliberately thrown on the desk by Guo Tingwei, just like he had snubbed Lin Feng in the past.
