Chapter 166: Exploring the Horse Urgently
A fast horse galloping like lightning pierced through the night and went straight to the barracks, the wind swept through the brazier, and the blazing flames trembled violently under the wind.
As soon as he entered the barracks, the knight on horseback rolled over and jumped to the ground, and ran quickly towards the commander's tent. When he reached the tent, he put his lips in the ear of one of his soldiers, spoke very quickly, and then bowed his hand to the soldiers, and turned to leave.
"Your Highness, Detective Horse Urgent!" As soon as the knight left, the soldiers who had listened to him faced the tent and bowed down with their fists in return.
"Come in!" In the handsome tent, Liu Wei's low and calm voice came out.
"Your Highness, Wang Yi personally led an army of 40,000 and set up camp on the north bank of the river in the evening! On the north side of the riverbank, there are many Hedong army probe horses passing back and forth. After entering the tent, the soldiers clasped their fists, straightened up, and reported all the news sent back by the knight to Liu Wei word for word.
"Report!" As soon as the words of the pro-soldier fell, before Liu Wei could respond, another pro-soldier's voice came from outside the tent: "Return to the shore of the water!" ”
"Come in and talk!" waved his hand at the first pro-soldier, and at the same time that the pro-soldier turned around and withdrew from the tent, Liu Wei shouted out of the tent again.
Another soldier opened the tent curtain and walked in, stood in front of Liu Wei with his fists folded, and said to him: "The Tanma who went to investigate the area around Lianshui found that the riverbed in the lower reaches of Lianshui was low, and the sediment at the bottom of the river was even exposed in many places! Even if a large army passes, there is no need for ships! ”
"Your Highness!" As soon as the second message was heard, the voice of a third pro-soldier came from outside the tent: "Urgent report from the upstream of the river!" ”
As soon as the pro-soldier who reported the second piece of news came out of the commander's tent, the third pro-soldier walked in, stood in front of Liu Wei with his fists clenched, and said: "At noon today, there were suddenly many Hedong Army sentry posts in the upper reaches of the river. The Hedong Army closed all the roads to the upstream, and our army could not probe the situation upstream! ”
Waving his hand at the last soldier who reported the news, Liu Wei, who was kneeling behind the low table, furrowed his brows slightly, took out a march map from the table, and carefully examined it.
Inside the tent, there are two small candlesticks on one left and one on the right, and two white candles are lit on the candlesticks. The flames of the white candles fluttered and fluttered under the evening breeze poured into the tent, making the light and shadow in the tent heavy, which was very strange.
"Invite a few generals to come and take charge of the tent!" After checking the map, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and he shouted to the soldiers guarding outside the tent.
A personal soldier hurriedly responded, and quickly ran to the camp tent of Zhao Yun and others, conveying Liu Wei's order.
After a while, Zhao Yun, Han Xian and other four generals gathered in front of Liu Wei's tent. Standing outside the tent, the four of them glanced at each other, clasped their fists together and bowed to the tent and said, "The last general is called to come!" Waiting for His Highness's decree! ”
"Come in!" Sitting in the camp tent, Liu Wei, who was still checking the map, did not raise his head, but responded lightly.
Zhao Yun opened the curtain and walked into the tent first, followed by the rest of the servants.
The four of them lifted the curtain of the tent, and a gust of wind immediately poured into the tent, and the two white candles on the candlestick shook violently under the blowing of the wind, and the light in the tent dimmed a lot in an instant.
"Sit down, generals!" Glancing up at the four generals who had entered the tent, Liu Wei first folded the map and put it aside, then pressed his hands on the table and set his eyes on the four people who had just sat down.
"Wang Yi's army is already stationed on the north bank of the water!" Looking around at the four generals in the tent, Liu Wei said to them with a calm face with water waves on his face: "I just visited the Malay report, the riverbed of Lianshui is low, and the mud and sand at the bottom of the river are even exposed in many places, what do the generals have to say about this?" ”
"I think it's the water that is dry this year." As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, Han Xian, who was sitting at the head of Zhao Yun, said in a rough voice: "The riverbed is low, which is convenient for our army to cross the river and attack, Tiangong is so beautiful, the last general is willing to ......."
"There is a lot of rain this year, how can the water dry up so far?" Without waiting for Han Xian to finish speaking, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and he shook his head and said to the generals: "There is another piece of news, the Hedong Army has arranged multiple guards in the upper reaches of the riverbank, which should strictly prevent our army from probing horses to explore the situation in the upper reaches of the riverbank!" With such strict and cautious care, there must be some secret arrangement to annihilate our army on the shore of this water! ”
After listening to what Liu Wei said, the four generals glanced at each other, and Zhao Yun hugged his fists and asked Liu Wei: "What Your Highness is referring to, but the Hedong Army has done something upstream?" ”
"I want to cover it! Wolf ambition! A look of contempt flashed in the corner of Liu Wei's eyes, and he said to Zhao Yun and the others: "If this king's plan is good, the Hedong army must have cut off the upstream river, just waiting for the battle with our army, the other army feints defeat, and induces our army to cross the river to pursue." When the soldiers of our army go down to the riverbed, they will break the dam and discharge the flood and crush our army! ”
"Zilong!" As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the generals to react, Liu Wei said to Zhao Yun, who was sitting first on the left: "Since the Hedong Army wants to lose, our army will send them a defeat!" But it's not a feint, it's a real defeat! Early tomorrow morning, you will lead all your cavalry to advance to the lower reaches of the river, cross the river from ten miles downstream, and after the main force of the Hedong Army crosses the river, go straight to the west, and defeat the Hedong Army that intercepted the upstream in one fell swoop! ”
"No!" Zhao Yun, who was kneeling in the first place on Liu Wei's left hand, got up and clenched his fists and took over the task.
Without waiting for Zhao Yun to sit down again, Liu Wei continued to say to him: "Zilong must remember that once the upstream Hedong Army is defeated, the dam will be opened immediately to discharge the flood. The riverbed is low, even exposing the bottom of the river, and tomorrow Wang Yi will lead his army to cross the river, and he will definitely not use boats. Our army only needs to open the interception, the enemy has no way to retreat, and there will be chaos! This battle can be done! ”
"Order!" Zhao Yun clenched his fists and bowed, and answered again, seeing that Liu Wei had no other instructions for him, he took a step back and sat back down.
"Han Xian!" As soon as Zhao Yun sat down, Liu Wei said to Han Xian, who was sitting under him: "Tomorrow the war will start, and you will be the vanguard." Lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to break into the main formation of the Hedong Army! Remember, you can only go shallow, not deep! As long as they break their bow and arrow array, so that the Hedong Army's long-range attack is weak, you will be credited with a great achievement! ”
"Order!" After winning the position of pioneer, Han Xian, who had not made an inch of success after taking refuge in Liu Wei, suddenly had a happy face, hurriedly got up to take over the military order, and said to Liu Wei: "The last general will definitely completely defeat the bow and arrow array of the Hedong Army tomorrow!" ”
"Yang Feng, Hu Cai!" Chao Han Xian nodded, and Liu Wei turned his head to look at Yang Feng and Hu Cai on the other side and said: "You two lead the left and right wings respectively, and wait until the Chinese army attacks on all fronts, and the left and right wings are inserted from both sides to wrap up the Hedong Army and fight!" ”
"The last general will not fail in his mission!" Yang Feng and Hu Cai stood up, clasped their hands into fists, and responded in unison.
"All generals should remember that tomorrow's battle is related to whether our army's northern expedition can be completely victorious!" When Yang Feng and Hu Cai also sat down again, Liu Wei looked around at the people in the tent and said to them: "Our army can only win this battle!" However, this battle was not a quick victory, and after Zilong channeled the water, he could intercept and kill the defeated army on the opposite side of the riverbank! The rest of the generals will advance with the king's small victory, and force the Hedong army to the bank of the water, and they will have to deal with them for at least seven days! Before that, no one is allowed to be greedy for merit and ruin great things! But you understand! ”
After listening to Liu Wei's words, everyone stood up together, clasped their fists and bowed and said loudly: "The last general and others should remember His Highness's edict!" ”
Nodding to everyone, Liu Wei took out the map he had stacked just now from the side, spread it out on the table, and said to the generals in the tent: "Zilong stay, you go back to rest and prepare for war!" ”
Han Xian and the others bowed down and clenched their fists, said goodbye to Liu Bian, and turned around and walked out of the handsome tent, leaving only Liu Bian sitting at the low table and Zhao Yun sitting at the bottom of his left side in the tent.
"Zilong, although this battle is a confrontation between the two armies, the key to the decisive victory is you!" After Han Xian and the others left, Liu Wei said to Zhao Yun, who was kneeling on the left side: "Whether our army can defeat the Hedong Army, and then seize Anyi and occupy the entire Hedong, all depends on Zilong!" ”
"Your Highness has orders, and you will never give up!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, Zhao Yun stood up, bowed down and hugged his fists in response.
"There are only 4,000 cavalry in our army!" Looking up at Zhao Yun standing in front of him, Liu Wei said to him with a solemn face: "Although the Tanma who went to the upper reaches of the Lianshui River did not bring back the news, it can be seen that the Hedong Army only took half a day to intercept the river water, and it can be seen that the number of people involved in the interception must be quite a lot, at least as many as 10,000 people!" Zilong will fight tomorrow, and it will be very difficult to have fewer enemies and more enemies, so be careful! ”
"The last general understands!" Standing in front of Liu Wei, Zhao Yun lowered his head and responded in a loud voice: "Don't say ten thousand people, even if there are 100,000 million, the last general is not afraid!" ”
"Zilong is full of guts, why be afraid!" Pushing the map in his hand to the side, Liu Wei stood up, walked to Zhao Yun and pulled his hands, stared at Zhao Yun's bright eyes, and said to him: "Whether the Han family can be restored, and whether the people of Li can stay away from water and fire, it is all up to Zilong to fight!" Zilong stands up and is bowed by this king! ”
As he spoke, Liu Wei let go of Zhao Yun's hand, folded his hands, raised his forehead high, gently pushed his arms forward and pulled a half circle in front of him, and knelt on the ground as soon as his legs were bent.
Liu Bian's hands had just folded in one place, Zhao Yun knew that he was going to bow down to the ground, so he hurriedly stepped forward, half-knelt on the ground, supported Liu Bian's arm with both hands, stopped his movements, with tears in his eyes, looked up at Liu Biao and said: "Your Highness is like this, it is really tormenting Zilong!" Your Highness treats Zi Long's grace as heavy as a mountain, and entrusts me with such an urgent matter! Zilong swears to the sky that as long as Zilong lives for one day, he will drive away the traitors for His Highness, and he will definitely ensure that His Highness will regain the great treasure and restore the foundation of the Han Dynasty! ”
"Zilong ......" Zhao Yun's words made Liu Wei's eye sockets wet, and his throat seemed to be choked with something, he gently called Zhao Yun, took Zhao Yun's hand with both hands and helped him up, his eyes stared at Zhao Yun's eyes, and the words that followed were never spoken.
"Your Highness......" His hands were tightly held by Liu Wei, and Zhao Yun, who was almost worshiped by him, felt like a turbulent wave in his heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time, and a pool of tears in his eyes was also spinning incessantly.
Liu Wei bowed, and worshiped a brave general who was brave and loyal to the three armies, and was the first to be loyal. Since then, Liangchen has been the only master, and the Iron Horse Glacier is galloping!
