Chapter 520: Burning Zhu Cang (1)
Zhu Cang, who had been marching for half a month, finally showed a smile on his face, he had learned to be obedient recently, the speed of the army was very slow, some of them held spears in their hands, and they moved slowly, and some of them rested more on the way forward, although the speed of the march was very slow, but it did not give Pei Yuanqing much chance, and the losses along the way were very small.
"Not far in front is Songjiachang, Nie Bin, lead a part of the men and horses to collect boats, and the army is ready to cross the river." Zhu Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Nie Bin. He often walked these places, and naturally knew where to cross the river and where there were boats.
"Yes." Not only Nie Bin, but also the whole army breathed a sigh of relief, and their pace suddenly sped up a lot, and they killed the Biyang River.
Half an hour later, Nie Bin galloped over on a war horse and said, "Your Majesty, I'm so happy!" Daxi, shallower than the Yang River, you don't need to look for a boat at all, you can cross the river. ”
"And such a thing?" Zhu Cang's face was stunned, and at that moment, he and Zhu Tian and the others flew towards the Biyang River.
"Brother Huang, look, there is a lot less water in the Biyang River this year." When he arrived near the Biyang River, Zhu Tian pointed to the Biyang River with some curiosity and said, "With such shallow water, we don't need to look for the boat at all, we can wade through." ”
Zhu Cang's face was stunned, he glanced around, and finally his face was gloomy, and he said, "Li Xin really doesn't die with the heart of death!" Where is the shallow water, they are trying to take advantage of our crossing of the river to release water to drown us. Or even hit it halfway. ”
"Ahh Zhu Tian and the others' faces changed, and they couldn't help but exclaim.
"At this time, the water level of the Biyang River is far above today, and there is a lot of precipitation this year, and the water level of the Biyang River is definitely not like this, and you see, these water stains are still left recently, indicating that the location of the previous water level is here, hehe. It's a foot away from the current water level. Zhu Cang proudly pointed to the water stains under his feet and said: "This can only show that Li Xin has built a dam to block the water upstream, if we cross the river now, he will definitely release water to drown us, hehe, hundreds of thousands of troops were killed by Li Xin so easily, but unfortunately, he forgot a little, this is Jianghuai, my Zhu Cang's base camp, and I happen to know everything here." It's almost impossible to kill me by flooding. Let's go, let's go downstream, enter Henan from Zhugou, Zhugou is mountainous, not conducive to the advance of the cavalry, if you can't get it right, this time we can find a place to eliminate Pei Yuanqing, lest he always haunt us like a dog skin plaster. ”
"It's still the emperor." Zhu Day, Nie Bin and the others nodded one after another. After Zhu Cang's analysis, the Biyang River in front of him was really a trap, and Li Xin was preparing to drown himself with the water of the Biyang River.
"Let's go." Zhu Cang nodded proudly and said, "Li Xin is just like this, he dares to use such a simple strategy." Such a person also does not know how to occupy Guanzhong. Walk. Let's go to Zhugou. Let Li Xin's plan come to naught. ”
"Let's go." Zhu Tian hurriedly led the army to the east.
Half an hour later, Pei Yuanqing led the army to the Biyang River, the Biyang River was turbulent, Pei Yuanqing raised his whip and pointed to the distance and said, "What the prime minister said is not bad at all. This Zhu Cang really has some ability, and at this time, Zhu Cang is really suspicious. But. Fortunately, the prime minister had already taken precautions. ”
"That is, how can a thief like Zhu Cang see through the prime minister's scheme. Let's go, General Pei, at this time, the prime minister is probably already in his pockets, waiting for Zhu Cang, a traitor, to take the bait. Ma Shankui suddenly hesitated for a while, and said: "General Pei, we are here this time to conquer Xiao Miao, why do we want to attack Zhu Cang at this time?" ”
"Zhu Cang's crime is extremely evil, killing countless people, how can such a person stay in the world, the prime minister has the world in mind, and the people of the world are his people, if Zhu Cang is allowed to crisscross the Jianghuai River, the Jianghuai people will be killed and injured countless times, and the prime minister can endure the people of the world Zhu Cang to continue to suffer between the Jianghuai and the Jianghuai!" Pei Yuanqing didn't want to think about it and said, "Let's go!" We killed the past and destroyed Zhu Cang, so we could continue to go south, and I heard that Xiao Mo had a beautiful daughter, so we simply snatched him and gave him to the prime minister as a concubine. ”
"That's a good feeling. I heard that Xiao Miao's daughter is the first beauty in Jiangnan, and only the prime minister can be worthy. Ma Shankui laughed and said: "I don't want anything else, when the time comes, please ask the prime minister to reward two palace maids in Xiao Milling Palace to my old horse, and the last general has not married a wife until now!" I thought that one day I could marry a Jiangnan woman. ”
"General Ma, then it's up to you to do it, go, the army will continue to move forward and go to exterminate Zhu Cang." Pei Yuanqing whipped the war horse, the war horse neighed, and rushed out first, behind him, the 20,000 cavalry let out a howl, and rushed into the distance.
"Damn, we've all crossed the Biyang River, won't this Li Xin let us go? Isn't he going to attack Xiao Miao? Why are you always staring at us? During the march, Nie Bin cursed viciously.
Although everyone avoided being flooded, Pei Yuanqing's army still did not let everyone go, 20,000 cavalry followed closely behind the army of more than 100,000, the speed was extremely gentle, not forward, not lagging behind, as if escorting Zhu Can's army, the distance between the front and back was only thirty miles, and the cavalry could be killed quickly, but it was extremely difficult for Zhu Cang to deal with Pei Yuanqing.
Nearly half a month's march has made Zhu Cang tired, his face has a little more wind and frost, and even a trace of vegetables, during this time, but he has not touched the slightest minced meat, and the bird has faded out of his mouth, usually there is no time to eat, Pei Yuanqing followed behind as if it was a life talisman, this sharp sword would fall at any time, and it would ask for everyone's heads.
Listening to Nie Bin's anger, Zhu Cang's heart was even more flustered, the current situation seems to be, Li Xin is afraid that he will not let himself go, he doesn't understand very much, why Li Xin is looking for his own trouble, even before, Zhu Cang still has the idea of surrendering Li Xin, after all, Guanzhong is rich, among the princes of the world, only Li Xin is the strongest, and he may seize the world in the future, if he gathers 200,000 troops to surrender, Li Xin will definitely treat himself well, even if he can't be crowned king, a prince can't run away. He has conquered the world and killed countless people, but he has never thought of winning the hearts of the people, isn't it just to find a good master to surrender one day?
At the moment, Li Xin's actions were clearly to annihilate himself, which made Zhu Cang's heart a little flustered, although the bamboo ditch was in front, this kind of uneasiness was even more powerful, whether Li Xin had laid out any formation in front of him and waited for him, Zhu Cang's heart was bottomless.
"Brother Huang, Pei Yuanqing has been a little strange these days! When we were eating, we didn't see him attack us. Zhu Tian hesitated for a while and said, "Are you going to let us go!" ”
"Don't talk about this, hurry up and go to Zhugou." Zhu Cang frowned and said, "Our soldiers are tired, although they are cavalry, they are the same, they are also very tired. When we arrive at Zhugou, you and I divide our troops into the mountains, I want to see if Li Xin is really powerful, even the entire Funiu Mountain can find us, and when they attack Xiao Miao, we will come out to attack their grain road. ”
Zhu Cang swept around, although there are a lot of villages, but the people are ethereal, this Jianghuai was originally a rich and creamy place, but these years is a lot of ruin, near the Biyang River, the rain is abundant, there are many fertile fields, and now the ground is full of weeds. There was no one to cultivate at all, and it was supposed to be the autumn harvest season, but now all you can see is a withered yellow. Seeing this before, Zhu Cang even felt a little proud in his heart, these ordinary people were either eaten by him, or they were caught up in the army by him. But now it gave him a desolate and desolate feeling, and the uneasiness in his heart was even worse.
What he didn't know was that just a hundred miles in front of him, Li Xin was standing on the mountainside, looking at everything in front of him, and his eyes were desolate, giving Li Xin the feeling that it was not high and cool in autumn, but bleak in the autumn breeze.
"Are the armies ready?" Listening to the footsteps behind, Li Xin's voice was very flat.
"Back to the prime minister, everything is ready, even some people in the mountains have come to help, both sides of the mountain road are already covered with weeds, and the fire oil is also ready, just wait for Zhu Cang to enter the mountain road, and start lighting the fire." Ma Zhou sighed and said: "Those mountain people knew that the prime minister was here to eliminate Zhu Cang, and they all came to help us. ”
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, what is Zhu Cang, he does all kinds of evil, look at this Jianghuai land, it was originally a place of anointing, but now he has made it like this, it is really damned." Li Xin said viciously: "Now he has finally reaped the consequences, tens of thousands of troops are lurking in the mountains, guided by the mountain people, tsk, Zhu Cang probably wouldn't have thought that wherever he went, there was no one for a hundred miles, although his arrogance was arrogant, but he lost his spies, lost his eyes and ears, and entered the bamboo ditch, he wouldn't know what traps were waiting for him in front of him, and he really thought that the Lone King would just want to flood the strategy?" ”
"Flood may still be able to escape, is this fire burning? I don't know. How far away is Zhu Cang? Li Xin's eyes showed murderous intent, people like Zhu Cang should not stay in the world.
"One day to go. The sentinel has already discovered the other party's spies, hehe, the sentinels released are no more than ten miles away. Ma Zhou said disdainfully: "And it is relying on the strength of the feet, it seems that their cavalry may have been killed by General Pei Yuanqing, so they have become what they are now." ”
"That's just right." Li Xin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let people get ready, tomorrow we will burn Zhu Cang, by the way, what kind of mountain is under our feet?" ”
"This, it should be a branch of Funiu Mountain, and it doesn't have any name?" Liang Shuo took over and said.
"From now on, it's called Killing Pig Mountain!" Li Xin took a name casually, but it was used to kill pigs. I just don't know what Zhu Cang will think in his heart after knowing the news. (To be continued......)
