Chapter 10: Two Paths

Murong Kuaxing frowned and said, "Why can't you afford to wait?" ”

Meng Wuzha said with a bitter face: "Lord Wang, we have no food." ”

Like Xianbei and Tiele, Murowei is mainly nomadic herding, and their food is cattle and sheep. When they marched and fought, they did not have troops specifically responsible for transporting grain and grass, but they drove some cattle and sheep with the army, and when they were hungry, they would kill the sheep and slaughter the cattle. If it doesn't work, it will plunder everywhere and feed the war with war.

After Murong Fuyun got the news that the Sui army was attacking in a big way, he gathered his men and horses in Chehe Zhenshan early. Who knew that Yang Guang was slow along the way, and Murong Fuyun's army was consuming it here, and it actually cost a lot of food. And at this time, there were Great Sui garrisons on all sides of Che I Zhen Mountain, and they couldn't loot even if they wanted to.

The leaders began to talk about it, some saying that they could hold out for four days, while others said that they could only hold out for two days.

The most is the fine seal Ye Lilan, who claims to be able to hold out for five days, but in fact, this is already his concealment. Unlike other tribes, the Qiang people practice half-farming and half-pastoralism, which allows them to feed more people. So they brought not only cattle and sheep, but also large quantities of corn, which could support them for at least another ten days. However, he will not say much, otherwise it will be a question whether others borrow grain from him, whether to borrow or not.

Only then did Murong Kuaxing realize the seriousness of the problem, he was silent for a moment, and said, "Everyone save some food, hold on for another three days, and I will definitely give you an explanation at that time!" ”

He had secretly decided that if Murong Fuyun didn't come back after three days, then he wouldn't hold on anymore, and he would either force his way into the mud ridge or surrender.

Yang Guang was unwilling to let them retreat calmly. At this time, the Jinshan in the south of the Yuanshou Tun Soldiers in the Inner History, the Snow Mountain in the north of the Wen Zhentun Soldiers in the Shangshu Duan of the Military Department, and the Pipa Gorge in the east of the Taifu Qing Yang Yichen's Tun Soldiers, only the general Zhang Shou was still a day's journey away from the mud ridge in the west. According to Yang Guang's estimate, Zhang Shou's vanguard should also have arrived. He didn't know that Zhang Shou's vanguard had indeed arrived at the mud ridge, and it was just a remnant of the army.

On the top of Niling Mountain, Liu Yu was accompanying Dong Heng to inspect the defense. Yuwen Jing escaped from the battle, three captains were killed and one was wounded, and Dong Heng took the supreme command without giving up.

Walking in the mountains and forests, you can hear the painful ** of the wounded soldiers from time to time. Dong Heng frowned, shook his head and said, "Bringing them back is simply disturbing the morale of the army!" ”

Suddenly, a soldier said loudly: "Returning to the captain, seeing these injured brothers, the villain is full of righteous indignation, if the Tuyuhun people dare to attack again, the villain will risk his life and avenge the brothers!" ”

The soldier who spoke was Feng Haiqiu, and he already knew that the wounded soldier was proposed by Liu Ziqiu to save him from the mountain, so he naturally wanted to help Liu Ziqiu speak.

Dong Heng was about to get angry, but he heard the soldiers around him clamoring one after another: "Yes! Avenge the brethren! Avenge the brethren! ”

These soldiers who were clamoring for revenge were both Liu Yu's subordinates, as well as those who had just fled up the mountain, both wounded soldiers and uninjured soldiers, and even the two personal soldiers behind Dong Heng also shouted.

Dong Heng glared at the two pro-soldiers fiercely, turned around and pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "Brigade Marshal Liu, this is the camp you set up?" ”

There were no fortifications prepared on the top of the mountain at all, because Liu Yu and Liu Ziqiu both understood that if the suspicious tactics did not work, what kind of fortifications they built would be in vain. Liu Yu had no choice but to tell the truth.

Two hundred foot soldiers blocked the attack of Tuyuhun's 3,000 cavalry, which made people sound a little unbelievable. But the thousands of corpses left by the Tuyuhun people on the hillside are still lying there, and no one can erase such a feat.

Dong Heng knew that Yang Guang never hesitated to reward his military exploits, Liu Yu made such a great achievement, and it was a matter of time before he was promoted, not to mention General Lang, it was very likely that he would ascend to the position of general in one step. Although he was full of envy, jealousy and hatred, Dong Heng's face softened a lot, and he said hypocritically: "Brother Liu has the talent of a general, and he is only a brigade commander, so he is a little wronged. ”

Liu Yu was not greedy for merit, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Hui, these are the ideas of Liu Ziqiu, one of my subordinates, but I don't have the ability to do it." ”

Hearing Liu Ziqiu's name, Dong Heng "hummed" and walked away. Liu Yu was inexplicable, and he didn't know when Liu Ziqiu offended this captain.

Liu Ziqiu was helping Jiang Yu bandage his wounds, and he didn't care about Dong Heng's actions at all. Although there are already more than 1,000 people on the mountain, if the Tuyuhun people come to attack the mountain again, they will still not be able to stop it.

Jiang Yu had two injuries, one was an arrow wound in his shoulder, and the other was a broken left leg. The weather in the northwest is very cold, and the arrow wound on his shoulder is not easy to deteriorate, and he will recover after a few days, and leaving a scar has become his capital to show off. What he really couldn't worry about was the injury in his left leg, and if this leg could not be recovered, then he would have to quit the army in disgrace.

Liu Ziqiu helped him under a big tree and comforted: "Lord Captain, Liu Mou checked it just now, and the bone in your left leg is fine, but the joint is misaligned and has been connected now, and you will be fine after a night's rest." ”

Jiang Yu said suspiciously: "You really know how to pick up bones?" ”

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "It's not that Liu is boasting, or the imperial doctor in Luoyang City is here, and it may not be better than Liu!" ”

"If it weren't for you to save me, I'm afraid it won't be long before Jiang would freeze to death in the snow, but he still wants to cure this leg, isn't it a little greedy?" Jiang Yu shook his head self-deprecatingly, and suddenly sighed again, "It's a pity that Jiang has a certain martial art, if he is buried here, he will be unwilling in his heart!" ”

"Don't worry." Liu Ziqiu is quite confident in his own methods, "Early tomorrow morning, adults will definitely be able to jump." ”

Jiang Yu saw that he was firm, the gloom on his face faded a lot, and he said: "If you can recover tomorrow, Jiang will definitely recommend you to General Zhang, and it is more than enough for you to be a captain." ”

Yang Guang was too suspicious, and the 300,000 government soldiers recruited were not only scattered and reorganized, but also temporarily assigned from the general to the captain. Yu Wenjing didn't mention it, only Jiang Yu among the three captains was originally Zhang Shou's subordinate, and Dong Heng and the other captain who had died were all transferred from elsewhere.

It is precisely because of this relationship with Zhang Shou that Jiang Yu is so confident that he can definitely help Liu Ziqiu get an official position as a lieutenant.

Liu Ziqiu hurriedly said: "The villain has just joined the army, and he doesn't understand many things, so it's good to be able to treat this gang leader well, but I don't dare to think about it." ”

Jiang Yu laughed and said, "If you don't understand, Jiang can teach you." Okay, that's it, this matter is on Jiang's body! ”

How did he know that Liu Ziqiu really didn't dare to be this captain. A lieutenant is different from a brigade commander, and that is a grade. If he is promoted to lieutenant because of his military exploits, he will definitely be summoned by Yang Guang, which is just a hurdle that Liu Ziqiu cannot pass.

This night, Jiang Yu couldn't sleep at all. finally encountered Dongfang Lubai, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite Liu Ziqiu over. Liu Ziqiu knew what he meant, and wanted to try to walk, but he didn't dare, so he couldn't help but smile and encourage: "Lord Captain, come, help me, just treat me as a crutch for you." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the voices of people under the mountain, and a henchman soldier had already reported that Zhang Shouqin led the army to arrive. Jiang Yu was in a hurry and strode towards the bottom of the mountain, but he heard Liu Ziqiu laughing behind him, and then he found that his legs were fine.

However, the arrival of Zhang Shou's army is not fake. According to the schedule, they should have arrived in the evening. But halfway through, he bumped into Yu Wenjing, surrounded by more than a dozen personal soldiers, fleeing in embarrassment.

Hearing that Yu Wenjing encountered the cavalry of the Tuyuhun people at the foot of the mud ridge, so that the whole army was annihilated, Zhang Shou was surprised. This news is not trivial, if the mud ridge is occupied by the Tuyuhun people, Yang Guang's strategy of encirclement will not be successful. Zhang Shou, as the commander stationed in Niling, was afraid that Xiang's head would not be guaranteed.

Zhang Shou immediately gave a death order, no matter what the cost, to recapture the mud ridge. The 20,000-strong army marched overnight, without resting, without stopping, and finally arrived at the mud ridge at dawn. As a result, Niling was still firmly in the hands of the Sui army.

……

Three days passed quickly, and Murong Kuaxing certainly couldn't wait for their country lord. However, the Tuyuhun camp in Che I Zhenshan has been in chaos, and there has even been a fire, and the reason for the fire is still because of food.

Several tribes have run out of food, but Murong Dinghan's tribe still has a large number of cattle and sheep. This is not because Murong Ding Han brought more cattle and sheep, but because when they attacked Niling, they had already lost more than 1,700 people, and in the battle with Zhang Dinghe and Liu Jianwu, they lost nearly 500 people, and the original 3,000 people were left with less than 800 people. The total amount of food is still so much, but there are fewer people to eat, and there is food left.

The tribe that was short of food went to Murong Ding Han to provide food. With so many people dead in the Murong Ding Han tribe, they were already very annoyed, and they were willing to lend them more grain, and the two sides disagreed, so they fought. Although Murong Ding Han was heroic, he was outnumbered and was killed by the rebels. It wasn't until Murong Kuaxing mobilized a large army that the riot gradually subsided, but the call for him to come up with an idea became stronger and stronger.

Murong Kua had no choice but to reconvene the leaders of the various tribes to discuss countermeasures. As for Murong Ding Han, if he dies, he will die, if everyone has anything to care about, it's just who his subordinates will be swallowed up.

"The lord of the country is seriously ill and has not recovered, and there are only two roads in front of us, either go or fall!" Although Murong Kuaxing was old, his thinking was still clear, and he waved his hand to silence everyone, and then said slowly, "I want to go, but the mud ridge is occupied by the Sui people." If we want to surrender, I don't know if the Sui people will spare us. Where to go, let's get an idea together. ”

These nomads are fierce by nature, and even the half-farming, half-pastoral Qiang people worship force and refuse to give in easily, and most of them clamore for retaking the mud ridge and fighting their way out of the siege. Murong Kua Xing saw that the opinion of leaving prevailed, and he was about to order the troops to send out the mud ridge, when suddenly a scout cavalry Pegasus came to report, and tens of thousands of new Sui troops were added to the mud ridge, and there were deer barrasses and traps under the ridge, and this retreat route had been completely blocked by the Sui people!
