Chapter 48: Yesterday Repeats
When the Hebei army stepped on the land of Shandong, and the front was the hometown boundary, they burst out with a hundredfold combat effectiveness.
Since the battle with Liangshan Ximenqing, this is the smoothest battle, and the Hebei army has raised its eyebrows from top to bottom.
But after driving away the Chao Gai army and rushing for half a day, he suddenly found that something was wrong, it turned out that Chao Gai's men and horses were scattered around the Hebei army, besieging and not attacking like a pack of wolves, obviously waiting for the most suitable time.
When is the most opportune time? Liang Zhongshu, Wen Da, and Li Cheng looked forward and looked at each other, their faces changed color at the same time, and they said in unison: "It's not good!" ”
It turned out that Shandong Hebei was bounded by the Yellow River in this area, and Liang Zhongshu wanted to cross the Yellow River, so he had to ask Chao Gai behind him if he agreed. Otherwise, if you come half-way and attack, Liang Zhongshu will not be able to eat and walk around.
Under the decision, Liang Zhongshu divided his troops into 8,000 troops, led by Wenda, and chose a high ground with water to the sun and water, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and set up camp, nailed the ghosts and horses, and confronted each other on both sides. Liang Zhongshu and Li Cheng led 10,000 horses, only five days of dry food, and galloped lightly to the Daimyo's mansion. Anyway, this is already its own territory, and the roadside states and counties are enough to supplement military food.
When they arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, the Taishou of Dongchang Mansion in Bozhou had already reported and waited here to greet him. Dongchang is too honest on weekdays, and he is a rare good official in the Great Song Dynasty, just because there was a rebel general Zhang Qing without a feather arrow, and he was really reprimanded by the imperial court.
Today, Liang Zhongshu's kindness has been rewarded. Dongchang Taishou knew that Liang Zhongshu was going to cross the Yellow River, and he had already prepared, and a few days ago an order was given, and the people of Sixiang spread the word of mouth, and they all said: "The virtuous envoy has something!" In just a few days, several pontoon bridges made of ferries were erected on the Yellow River, which were connected by ropes and covered with wide boards, so that people and horses could walk calmly.
Liang Zhongshu was overjoyed to see it. But once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, so he first sent many scouts to cross the bridge to reconnoitre, and after making sure that there was no ambush, he led the army to cross the Yellow River. When parting, Liang Zhongshu held the hand of Dongchang Taishou and sighed: "Today, Shijie knows that you have won the hearts of the people!" ”
Dongchang Tai Shouqian said: "The villain is just talking about the remnants of the good governance of the left-behind adults!" ”
Liang Zhongshu was a little embarrassed when he heard it. He stayed in Beijing in the Daimyo's mansion, and did a lot of practical things for the people, but because he married a wife who was Cai Jing's daughter, he also did a lot of corrupt things. Because even if you can't go his way, you can go to his wife's way, and when you get to Zuihou, the basin still has to be detained on his head Liang Shijie. Later, Liang Zhongshu simply broke the jar and broke it, how could he be greedy for money for Cai Jing's birthday a year, but he didn't expect that this would take advantage of the mother-in-law at home, and the husband and wife have been much less over the years.
If someone else becomes a corrupt official, he can't wait for everyone in the world to be a corrupt official with him, everyone must not be clean, and the snakes and rats are in a nest of collusion, which can show the value of the same smell; But Liang Zhongshu is like a leaf floating into the dung pit, although the smell around him is already invisible, but he can still look at the big tree next to him from the sky light at the mouth of the pit, recalling the green dream in the past. He still values and takes care of a clean official like Dongchang Taishou.
Sighing and patting Dongchang Taishou's shoulder, Liang Zhongshu asked, "Liangshan thief, can you see the first few **?" ”
Dongchang Taishou said respectfully: "Two days ago, the Liangshan Water Army passed on the Yellow River, and there were also foot and cavalry on land, but they did not disturb the place. ”
Liang Zhongshu took a long breath: "Two days ago? OK! If you work hard, you can still catch up! Another good student told Dongchang Taishou a few words of diligence and love for the people, and led the people and horses away with Li Cheng.
From Wangguan Town, Bozhou, to Pingchuan, he finally returned to Maqiao Town, which is at the junction of Daimyo's Mansion and Bozhou, and did not encounter any ambush, and everyone in Liang Zhongshu breathed a sigh of relief. Starting from Maqiao Town, the people of Liang Zhongshu turned from all the way to the west to the southwest, because the Daimyo's Mansion was guarded by the three major rivers of the Zhanghe River, the Wei River, and the Majia River in the middle, if you continue to the west, you have to cross the river twice to get to the Daimyo's Mansion, and turn southwest into the Kaide Mansion and then turn north, you only need to cross the river once.
And after entering the border of Kaide Mansion, cross the river is Nanle City, people and horses can take a short rest in Nanle City, and then raise troops to the north, and they will inevitably arrive at the Daimyo Mansion in front of Ximenqing.
Tanmalay reported that Ximen Qing was crossing the river. Although he has the help of naval ships and warships, how can it be so easy for the army to cross the river? By the time he crossed the two river valleys with great effort, Liang Zhongshu was already waiting for him at the head of the Daimyo's mansion.
Thinking of the smugness, Liang Zhongshu's face showed a smile that was truly relaxed after relieving the pressure.
Liang Zhongshu crossed the river non-stop, and recuperated in Nanle City for half a day, the closer the army of the Daimyo Mansion became, the more affectionate they became, although they were already greatly tired after running, but they still shook up their spirits and rushed to the Daimyo's Mansion bravely.
When I left the Kaide Mansion and arrived at Weidian, it was already afternoon. Tanma came back to report that Ximenqing's men and horses had crossed the first river, and after a short rest outside the old town, they were marching towards the second river. Liang Zhongshu listened to it and was completely settled, knowing that in this long-distance race walk, he still won by his own family. Ximenqing crossed the river for the second time, and he had already returned to the Daimyo's mansion.
Thinking of the happy place, Liang Zhongshu smiled at Li Cheng and said: "Ximenqing is a grass coward in Shandong, and he doesn't know my Hebei geography, so he dares to go thousands of miles?" Hey hey ......"
Li Cheng joked: "Enxiang is right. Ximen Qingzhi's stupidity is really funny! For the general, he doesn't know astronomy, he doesn't know geography, and he is a mediocre talent! ”
Talking and laughing all the way, I arrived at a place early, where the houses are all built along the river, and the houses, alleys, and roads in the village are all slanted, and there are many turns, which are extremely curved. Liang Zhongshu was in the bureau, nodded and sighed: "Here the real soldiers want land!" But I don't know what the name is? ”
The old man in front of the horse said: "My lord doesn't know, this place is called the Maling Road Crossing, and it is also a famous place." ”
Liang Zhongshu said: "Maling crossing? Isn't it the place where Sun Bin broke Pang Juan during the Battle of Qi Wei Maling during the Warring States Period? ”
Li Chenggong said: "My lord is really erudite and strong, and this place is the site of the Warring States Horse Tomb." ”
Liang Zhongshu was stunned for a moment, thinking of Sun Bin Pang Juan's story, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.
During the Warring States Period, Sun Bin and Pang Juan learned the art of war under Guiguzi. Pang Juan went down the mountain first and became a general on the throne of Wei Hui, but he knew that Sun Bin's talent was above him, so in order to prevent future troubles, he sent Sun Bin to Wei and sentenced him to death (cutting off his kneecaps), trying to deceive Sun Bin out of the secret Guigu Art of War. Fortunately, the envoy of Qi made Wei, saw Sun Bin and secretly returned it to Qi, and King Qi Wei did not underestimate Sun Bin because he was crippled, so he appointed Sun Bin as a military advisor.
Later, Wei and Zhao exchanged troops, and Pang Juan fought directly to the city of Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and surrounded Handan. Zhao asked Qi for help, Qi took Tian Ji as the general, and Sun Bin was the military advisor to save Zhao.
Tian Ji wanted to directly aid Handan, Zhao State, but Sun Bin stopped him and said: "To solve the mess, you can't shake your fists to fight, resolve the fight, you can't participate in the fight, you must grasp the key points to calm the dispute, take advantage of the situation, and the two sides can naturally separate because they are restricted." Now that the elite soldiers of the Wei State are pouring out of the country, if I attack the Wei State directly, Pang Juan will return to the division to rescue him, so that the siege of Handan will definitely be relieved. If we ambush Pang Juan on the way back, his army will be defeated. Tian Ji did according to the plan.
Sure enough, hearing that Daliang, the capital of Wei, was taken advantage of by the Qi army, Pang Juan hurriedly returned to the division in a panic, and on the way back, he fell into an ambush and fought in Guiling. This is the famous story of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao" in history, and the first new game of the eternal sports war.
Thirteen years later, the army of Qi and Wei intersected on the battlefield again, Sun Bin was ambushed under Maling Daobu, Pang Juan Fu fell into Sun Bin's ambush again, and the poor army was defeated, so he killed himself. Sun Bin became famous all over the world and passed down his art of war.
The more Liang Zhongshu thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was wrong, and today's situation and scene seemed to have reappeared yesterday. If Ximen Qing used the attack on the Daimyo's Mansion as a bait to transfer himself back from Qingzhou City, and only set up an ambush at the main road of Maling, it would be absolutely bad!
When his heart was beating wildly, he heard the noise of the front army, it turned out that there was a big tree on the road ahead that was hugged by several people, a large piece of bark was stripped from top to bottom, and the miserable white core was crawling with ants at this time.
When Liang Zhongshu hurried to see the news, the seven ant black characters were like dried blood under the sunset that would go down the mountain, and they were full of Sen Sen's ghostly aura. Liang Zhongshu was only frightened for a while, and he couldn't help but shout: "It's not good! I've got it! ”
Before the words fell, I heard a series of cannons in all directions, flags, swords and guns, all of which were erected in the wind, and countless people shouted like thunder: "Don't go Liang Zhongshu!" ”
Li Cheng saw that Liang Zhongshu was already depressed, so he hurriedly passed the general's order, and the rear team was the front team, so he hurried out of this dangerous place first. Who knew that the order had not yet been conveyed to the end, and the rear army was already in an uproar, and flames flew up in the clanging sound of swords and guns, and then the pawns who ordered the order came to report the funeral: "Report-!" Your Excellency! Liangshan's red-haired ghost Liu Tang and the sky-beating eagle Li Ying led the troops to block the back road, dozens of trains lined up, and there were strong bows and crossbows to blockade, and the brothers couldn't break through! ”
After a short time, the heralds came together in all directions - there were two-headed snake Xie Zhen and two-tailed scorpion Xie Bao in front of them to kill, there was a sick Guan Suo Yang Xiong on the left side, and Shi Xiu cut off his waist to kill, and on the right side was Mu Hong who did not block Mu Hong, and Mu Chun was outflanked and killed - the sound of killing in all directions shook the sky, and he only called to catch Liang Zhongshu.
Looking at the black characters of the ants on the tree, Liang Zhongshu sighed: "Could it be that today I am going to kill Liang Shijie?" "This is exactly what it is:
Ambush me everywhere, who is busy with a rush? But I don't know what Liang Zhongshu's life is, and listen to the next decomposition.
