Hearing Xue Wanche say this, Xue Wanshu, as the elder brother, smiled slightly, obviously agreeing, as for Ji Chuan, Tan Zong and the others also showed their approval.
Lu Chengqing, the county Cheng who had been silent, said at this time: "Wen Changshi, in my opinion, General Xue's intention is a bit risky, from the north of Yanmen County there is Liu Wuzhou, there is Dou Jiande in the south of Youzhou, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in charge of Li Tang Jiangzhou in the south of Taiyuan. ”
Hearing Lu Chengqing's words, Xue Wanche immediately got up and retorted: "Drinking water and eating will also choke to death, how can you not take risks in a war." It's just that we want our soldiers to be fast, strictly guard the wind, and after a quick battle, immediately retreat to Youzhou, Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, they will never react so quickly. ”
Wen Yanbo listened to Lu Chengqing's words, nodded, looked at Chen Xiaoyi, and Wei Zhengyan said: "Lu Sima's words are very reasonable, but General Xue's plan is also good, once successful, I can get another county in Youzhou, and I am trusted by the Duke of Gu, and the three of us are entrusted with the important task of guarding Youzhou, what do you think of this matter now?" ”
Chen Xiaoyi said: "It's better for Wen Changshi to make a decision." ”
Wei Zheng pinched his beard and said: "I think what Lu Sima said makes sense, this plan is not a small risk, in my opinion, it is better to ask the Su County Shou of Taiyuan County, and the opinions of the old man who is still in Huaihuang Town?" ”
Xue Wanche immediately got up and said loudly: "Wei Junshou, the paperwork has been exchanged once and again, if you ask Su Junshou, the boss's opinion has already taken a lot of effort." How to get in time? Shanggu Gong appointed three people to sit in Youzhou, and he was given the discretion of the opportunity, and if there was any mistake in the future, it would be good to put the responsibility on someone. ”
Xue Wanche was blunt and unscrupulous, rampage, which made Wen Yanbo, Chen Xiaoyi and others' faces sink, Xue Wanshu saw this case, and shouted: "Bastard, how wide do you think your shoulders are, can you bear it?" Talk to Wei Junshou in such a tone, don't get out and lead the army stick yourself, when Shanggu Gong comes back, I will definitely join you! ”
Xue Wanche saw his brother reprimanding, and his face turned red at the moment.
However, Wei Zheng didn't think it was wrong, and said: "Xue Ji room, it's okay, Brother Ling is reasonable, this matter is negligent on the part of the official, Wen Changshi, or it's up to you to make the decision, Wei believes in your decision." ”
Everyone looked at Wen Yanbo.
Wen Yanbo also looked hesitant, Wang Qi saw this and said: "In the first time I arrived, this kind of meeting, should not speak, but between me, Shanggu Gong returned to Youzhou from Liyang, Hengshan is the only way, so it is necessary to send troops to rescue, this is undoubted, but if it is a large-scale transfer of troops, first, it cannot be guarded, and second, the garrison is withdrawn, so that Zhuo County and Taiyuan are empty." In the future, I thought it would be better to reduce the number of troops as appropriate. ”
Wen Yanbo showed a look of approval when he heard this, and said: "Shuju, it's really timely rain, yes, the matter of sending troops to Hengshan is a must-do, we should take Shanggu Gong, King Qi, Princess Changle, and more than 10,000 Wagang soldiers to return to Youzhou safely as the first priority, and Hengshan can capture it, and it is the same if it cannot be taken in the future." ”
"No."
Listening to Wen Yanbo's words, all the generals said yes.
Wen Yanbo also breathed a sigh of relief, this is not an easy task for others to be in charge, he said at the moment: "I have decided to transfer the general of the Wuwei Army, Wei Chi Gong, as the head of the march, and lead 5,000 Wuwei troops from Taiyuan County, through the Taihang Mountain Road, to attack Jingcheng County, Hengshan County." Hu Benlang will Xue Wanjun and assist Su County to garrison Taiyuan. ”
"The Wuwei Army Hu Benlang will make Xue Wanche the head of the march, and Ji Chuan in Langzhong will be the marching Sima, leading 8,000 Yi guards to send troops from Zhuo County."
"The general of the Xiao Guard, Tan Zong, and Gao Chu, the governor of Yanmen County, prepared their troops and horses, and listened to the dispatch of General Xue, the head of the marching army, as a backup."
Speaking of this, Wen Yanbo looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Everyone understands in their hearts that compared to the five ways to take Heng Mountain that Xue Wanche originally proposed, although this plan is a little worse, it is more serious, and it can be attacked and retreated.
There was no objection at the moment.
At the end of March, rain fell in Chunchun, Hebei Province, making the roads muddy and difficult to walk.
Hengshan County is bordered by the Taihang Mountains in the southwest and Hebei Plain in the northeast, with high terrain in the west and low in the east.
When Li Chongjiu and Xu Shiji led the Wagang Beigui army to Hengshan County, it was quite hard to cross the mountains and mountains.
Heavy rain covered the cover, the mountain roads were slippery, and the army camped halfway.
A general was reporting to Li Chongjiu and Xu Shiji, saying: "Not long ago, there were Zongcheng people who offered a Xuanqi to Dou Jiande, Jingcheng Cheng Kong Deshao said to Dou Jiande, Xia Yu in the past, Tianxi Xuanqi, today Rui and Yu Tong, this is a sign of prosperity. Kong Deshao also replied that there is no owner in the sea today, heroes are competing, the king is in cloth and Zhangpu, and the officials of Sui County are all vying for the followers, and they implore the emperor to correct the name. ”
"Dou Jiande then listened to Kong Deshao's words, called the emperor in Leshou Jincheng, the country name is Xia, the year name is Wufeng, with Song Zhengben as the acceptance, Kong Deshao as the internal history waiter, Ling Jing as the national character sacrificial wine, Zhang Xuansu as the Huangmen waiter, Liu Bin as the Zhongshu Sheren, and his wife and brother Cao Dan as the big line, worship Wang Fubao, Gao Yaxian Liu Heimin Cheng Mingzhen as the general, Jibei anti-king Zhang Qing heard that Dou Jiande was called the emperor, and offered the table to surrender."
After listening to the general's report, Li Chongjiu nodded and signaled the other party to retreat, and Xu Shiji on the side couldn't help but say with emotion: "When Duke Wei was in power, Dou Jiande seemed to be obedient and called a minister to pay tribute, but Duke Wei was repeatedly summoned but did not come to Liyang. Now that the Duke of Wei has been defeated, Dou Jiande is anxious to wait for Le Shou to become the emperor, obviously he has long had the ambition to compete in the world. ”
Xu Gaiyan on the side said: "I heard that Dou Jiande doesn't love money, doesn't love women, and doesn't like luxury. And usually do not eat meat, only eat vegetables and vegetables, and eat rice. His wife is not dressed in brocade, and even if there are only a dozen servants, it is really rare, and he will be a fierce enemy in the future. ”
On the side, Guo Xiaoke said: "Dou Jiande is the emperor in Leshou, and now he must be so busy that he doesn't have the time to sit down, we returned to Youzhou from Liyang, without the harassment of the Xia army, and there are a lot of people all the way to Ansheng." As for the other thieves, when they saw the banner of our army, they had already run away. ”
Listening to Guo Xiaoke's words, all the generals nodded, and came to reinforce Liyang, because Li Mi was still there at that time, Dou Jiande had not yet torn his face, and Dou Jiande was attacking Jizhou, so there was no big problem along the way, and now Li Mi was defeated, and Dou Jiande broke through Jizhou, so Li Chongjiu was most worried that Dou Jiande turned his face at this time.
Now that there is nothing to do, everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that they will be able to arrive in Youzhou to rest soon, and they all have a sense of anticipation.
Seeing that the generals were optimistic, Li Chongjiu frowned and said: "Don't be careless, even if there is no Dou Jiande, but we pass through Hengshan County, which is Li Tang's territory, and with Li Yuan and Li Shimin's means, it is likely to intercept our army halfway, so we need to be careful and repeated." ”
Just as Li Chongjiu finished speaking, Wang Mahan on the side returned to the big tent in muddy water, and said loudly: "Commander Qiqi, the Pelican Pass ahead has been taken by our army. ”
Li Chongjiu asked: "Although Pelican Pass is not as dangerous as Jingcheng, it is also a key card to hold the passage south of Heng Mountain, so you have not had a meal yet, so you can break through?" ”
Wang Mahan grinned and said, "It's not that the brothers don't spare their lives...... Well, in fact, there is not a single soldier in the pass, the door of the storehouse in the pass is not locked, and there is still food on the stove, obviously the defenders have not heard of it, and they have long since fled away. ”
Hearing Wang Mahan say this, everyone was suddenly stunned, their own soldiers were strong, and the defenders did not dare to guard the checkpoint and fled from the wind, which was a very normal thing.
Li Chongjiu, Xu Shiji didn't care when he heard it.
The next day, the army crossed Pelican Pass and entered the territory of Shiyi County, Hengshan County.
Shiyi County is a barren territory, Li Chongjiu listened to the report of the horse, the gate of the county town was wide open, the horse adventure into the city to investigate, but found that people went to the empty alley, Shiyi County has become an empty city.
The wheat millet in the fields outside the city has just been planted, but there is no one in the farmhouse village, not even a chicken or dog.
Hearing this news, all the generals couldn't help but wonder, it stands to reason that although Hengshan County has been plundered by Wang Xuba and Zhao Wanhai, it will not be barren like this. Could it be that I heard that the Youzhou army was coming, and the people were scattered, it was impossible, the Youzhou army has always had a good reputation in Hebei, and after capturing the city, it was all autumn without any crimes.
It is impossible for the people of Hebei not to know.
Li Chongjiu ordered the horse to investigate, and Shiyi County was like this within a radius of fifty miles.
Li Chongjiu looked at Xu Shiji and asked, "General Xu, how do you judge?" ”
Xu Shiji showed a solemn expression and said: "The last general guesses that there are no people in this Shiyi County, and it is obvious that someone did it on purpose. ”
"How?"
Xu Shiji said: "If you are afraid of our army attacking, you can hold the city, our army is just passing by, it is impossible to stay for a few days, attacking the fortified city, even if it is captured, it cannot be held, whether the Tang army forces in the counties along the way, or the local heroes, thieves are all like this, and we are all safe." ”
"But in Shiyi County, there is no trace, and the last general guessed that it is likely that the defenders of this county are trying to be unfavorable to our army, so they moved the people away first, blocked the news from all sides, and made our army lose its ears and eyes, so as not to leak the news."
"After that, I was an enemy general, and after confirming that I cut off the eyes and ears of our army, I led the army to ambush nearby, just like Dou Jiande broke Xue Shixiong back then, and selected elite soldiers to take advantage of our unpreparedness to attack, and attacked one by surprise."
Hearing Xu Shiji say this, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but agree, a famous general is a famous general, the current situation, he is only suspicious and speculative at most, but he doesn't know what the other party is planning, but Xu Shiji deduced so much from the clues, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, he was far inferior in this regard.
"Then how should our army deal with it?" With Xu Shiji here, Li Chongjiu simply hid it, so he let Xu Shiji command it for him.
Xu Shiji clenched his fists and said: "Shanggu Gong can rest assured, the last general will be newly surrendered, and he will have no merit, so he will make a plan to break this enemy army to repay Shanggu Gong!" ”
