Wenhua sent messengers to report back and forth, arrived at the mountain pass, spread out the formation, and prepared for the attack. The cavalry of Lu Qian's 12th Division successfully cleared out the messengers and horses of the Li Army to contact the two battalions, and firmly grasped the north-south passage between the east and west of the twin cities.

Zhao Guo handed over an urgent report, and there was a Goryeo ambush army on the shore, less than a thousand people. According to the pre-planned plan, avoid the fight and retreat into the fishing grounds. The soldiers were divided into three groups, one on guard, and strictly controlled the reconnaissance distance of the Li army's reconnaissance horses; The other two groups took turns to sneak out of the fishing ground through the back door, and then spread their flags, pretending to be reinforcements, and pretending to enter in a stealthy posture.

The military newspaper finally wrote: "The Lijun probes the horses frequently, eager to approach and watch, and the suspicious state is undoubted. However, the rain is heavy and the night is dark, and the villain's precautions are strict, they can't see through the details from the fishing ground, and the villain is worried, so he will inform the main camp in the south, send rangers, and copy them to the city to see what our reinforcements are. The general is clear. ”

In this section, Deng She has thought about it and has his own countermeasures. The soldiers found Brother Huang Donkey, followed him at this time, and immediately ordered him to lead 200 Han troops, and 500 Han and Korean people, the old and weak, to ration military uniforms, and assemble at the west city gate. When the rangers outside the city detected the arrival of the Lijun rangers, they went out from the west gate.

After leaving the city, they marched to the fishing grounds. During the march, the Han army was outside, including the Han and Korean people, including the old and weak, did not carry flags, stretched the formation, and must ask the Li army to explore the horses to see the number of people out of the city. Regardless of whether the Li army is following the horse or not, there is no need to return to the city, and after converging with Zhao Guo's troops, he will temporarily stay in the fishing ground.

"Han people, Goryeo are old and weak, generals must be careful, you can't slip one on the road." After thinking about it, Deng She felt that it was not safe, Brother Huang Donkey was alone, his energy was limited, don't call it really unbearable, but it would be a big deal; Summoned a few fine personal soldiers and ordered, "The task of guarding the old and weak will be entrusted to you to coordinate and be responsible." Run away from one and come to see you. ”

"Stop at the fishing grounds?" Brother Huang Donkey was puzzled, "The army and horses in the city are exhausted, and the situation is critical, why does Deng Wanhu still have to do this risky strategy?" The villain preferred to stay in the city and help the general. ”

When the soldiers found him, he was talking to Madame Wang in the Dunshe Mansion; When I saw Deng She, the reason given was: At the moment of crisis, I need to relieve my wife's worries. This is clearly insincere. Deng She's guess of his psychology was nothing more than because he was snubbed by the generals, hoping to take the opportunity to tie up with Mrs. Wang, climb the line of Wang Shicheng and continue his ancestors, and find a way back for himself. Didn't bother either.

smiled and replied, "General Huang doesn't need to worry about the city. Earlier, the military discussion, without waiting for the general, we waited for a plan to be planned. He waved his soldier back, lowered his voice, and spoke to him briefly.

Brother Huang Donkey was taken aback: "This, this is too bold." Awakening to the wrong tone, he hurriedly pondered and changed his words, "Think about it carefully, it's not impossible." "Bow your hand, and say," the general always acts unexpectedly. As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, and the villain admires it. ”

Patting the horse and welcoming him, he is far less than Wu Henian's pure and quiet, and he is not as good as He Guangxiu's sucking carbuncle and licking hemorrhoids, taking low and making small, Deng She listened to it in his ears, slightly strange that he suddenly changed his sex, and he didn't have time to think deeply, and said: "Heaven is determined to win people, and people are better than heaven." Crises do not turn into good times. ”

"Yes, yes." Brother Huang Donkey saw that Deng She had no other orders, and together with his own soldiers, he went down to the city to gather soldiers.

The rain rained for two days, gradually decreasing, and the initial torrent was gone.

Deng She hadn't eaten dinner yet, and the soldiers saw the stitches and brought some military food, which was steaming, and the food in the shed was fragrant for a while. But he didn't want to use it, so he sat back at the desk, spread out the map, put a few small pebbles, and then deduced the war games. The pro-soldiers are accustomed to it, knowing that when he thinks about things, he is most annoyed by others and does not dare to remind him. After a while, the food is cold, just warm it up and bring it back. Until the left car returned, Deng She didn't look at the food box.

Eight hundred soldiers went on the expedition, and dozens of casualties were imposed. After marching back and forth for forty miles, all of them were exhausted, and Deng She rewarded each person with a bowl of wine and a pound of meat. All credits will be credited once. Requisitioned houses near the city gates, and allowed them to rest for half the night.

Soon after the arrangements were made, Lijun's scouting horse appeared outside the city. Deng She pretended not to know, and with an order, the west gate was opened, and the yellow donkey brother quietly ran to the shore. The Goryeo scouted the horse, divided into a team, and fell far behind, following the entourage.

Sent away Brother Huang Donkey, Deng She took charge of the ground and personally led the team to patrol the city. While inspecting the city's defense equipment, he urged the soldiers, the old and weak to change shifts and avoid the rain, all came out, did not light torches, distributed more flags, and took turns to walk around the city wall, giving the impression that the Li army was strong and strong. He deliberately whipped the twenty or thirty horses left behind, causing them to neigh and spread the sound outside the city.

In this big scene, the rooster crows in one go, and the east turns white.

Without the cover of night, the Li army slowly retreated. You can watch them at night, but not during the day, it's easy to be exposed. In order to prevent them from killing the horses, Deng She ordered Lu Qian's twelve troops to sweep the five miles south of the city and expand the area of control, so as to limit the scope of the activities of the Li army.

The trees and houses on the roads and in the fields within five miles outside the city have been cut down and demolished for several days. There is no barrier, climb high and look out, the field of vision is wide, and it is unobstructed. Today is not as cloudy as the first two days, and the Goryeo camp is faintly visible, with towering watchtowers and flagpoles, drenched in the rain, corresponding to the twin cities.

After a busy day and two nights, all the military horses that should be in place have been in place; The arrangement, the matters to be noted, and the details have also been arranged and noted. So far, the start has been pretty good.

Deng She looked at the mountain pass to the west, the second wave of military reports from Wenhua Kingdom had not arrived, and he must be in the midst of a fierce battle. Wen Huaguo's ability to attack the fortification is good, and he will be outside, so it is useless to worry. Dunshe pressed his mind and returned to the shed, thinking about what was in front of him.

The pebbles placed on the map are divided into two colors, the bluestone represents oneself and the white stone represents the enemy. The canine teeth are staggered, and they are staggered. A game of chess is similar. Picking up a stone, he suddenly felt a lot.

Isn't this stone in the hands of others a true portrayal of him in the past ten years? Being a thief, joining the army, and struggling to survive, who would have thought that one day, there would be a chance to become a chess player? Although his chessboard is only a hundred miles, the available chess pieces are no more than 10,000 people. Compared with the past, it is not different from the past.

But he didn't feel any lighter. Think of sesame plums, think of Mao Gui. It is not difficult for a person to be a chess player once, but it is difficult to be a chess player for a lifetime. Don't seek to control the fate of others, only to control your own destiny. He gently lowered the stone, remembering the sensation at this moment.

It's like two people playing against each other. In the game of chess between Shuangcheng and Dingzhou, the Koreans fell first, and he lost his hand, and if he wanted to win, he had to start from a strange place. Think about what people dare not think, and what others dare not do, only then can there be hope for a turnaround.

On the case, there are four white stones, one in the mountain pass, one in the south of Shuangcheng, one on the seaside, and one in Dingzhou; There are six pieces of bluestone, two in Shuangcheng, one in the fishing ground, and the remaining three pieces, close to the south, Shankou, and Dingzhou Baishi. Although he started at the beginning, he had already followed closely behind, and several armies and horses came out.

Brother Huang Donkey went out of the city and returned to the city in the left car. Deng She took one of the two bluestones placed in the Twin Cities and took one to the fishing ground; He also moved the bluestone in front of the white stone on the south side back to the city. In the first round of the game, the enemy did not move.

How will the enemy react? He stared at the white stone to the south, pondering the enemy's train of thought, sometimes picking it up, sometimes putting it down. He guessed that the greatest possibility for Li Jun should be to hold on; Of course, it is also possible to divide troops to the shore and encircle and annihilate Zhao Guo's troops; Or draw up camp to attack the city.

If he comes to attack the city, how will I deal with it? If he goes to the shore, what will he do? If he held still,......, Dunshe pondered and pondered.

The start is set, and the fall cannot be regretted. As the game deepens, the next thing to do is to see the means of both sides. Break the game, layout, wait for the enemy to make corresponding countermeasures, or continue or change according to the situation.

A sound of footsteps outside the canopy interrupted his thoughts, it was Wu Henian and Luo Lilang who came to routinely report the situation in the city. In order to shelter from the rain, the two of them wore green hats left by the former Goryeo officials of the governor's office, and hats were covered; Feet in wooden shoes, stepping on the aisles of the city wall, clicking.

The two took off their hats and put them outside, lifted the curtains, bowed in one after the other, and knelt down and kowtowed. Deng She disturbed the stones, and stopped him in vain: "The ground is wet, so don't let it go." ”

Wu Henian said solemnly: "The grace of the adults, the villains dare not resign." Luo Lilang's head knocked quickly, but he didn't stop it, as if he refused grace, and got up from the ground in embarrassment. muttered to explain, but was afraid of saying the wrong thing, his face turned red, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Wu Henian caught a glimpse of the food box on the case, and said in a respectful and considerate tone, "The general hasn't slept all night?" Haven't eaten? The general is at stake. As the master of the army, you must pay great attention to maintenance. The military aircraft is handsome, and it is still more important to treat sloppiness. …… This food in the army, the big pot of rice has no taste. If the adults don't have time to go home, why don't the villains ask someone to deliver food? ”

"Mr. Wu is in charge of Meiyi, I understand it." Dunsha motioned for them to sit down, covered the map, and asked, "How was last night in the city?" ”

Wu Henian's buttocks were unstable, so he stood up again, lowered his hand and replied: "There is no abnormality in all departments and genera. On the night of learning that the Li army was coming, Deng She ordered the governor's office to divide the city into ten parts according to the streets and alleys, and each department sent ten soldiers to patrol. Each department is divided into five subordinates, each of which sends a soldier to be responsible for a fixed point, and each subordinate selects a Han or Bohai resident to cooperate with the inspection of its own soldier.

The families of these selected Han and Bohai people were all sent to the proton camp and protected by Deng She's personal soldiers.

Ten high platforms were temporarily erected in various parts of the streets, and two soldiers were stationed on each high platform. The high platform is surrounded by wooden planks, and the top can be seen below, but the bottom cannot be seen above. Hold bows and arrows, prepare drums, lanterns and torches, and keep a high surveillance. If there is an abnormality in the position, you can kill people on the spot, beat the drums, and light lanterns and torches.

A total of 200 soldiers were allocated to Wu Henian, and the remaining 30 people were used as mobile teams, where the drums were heard, and they were instructed by lanterns and torches at night to suppress them.

Deng She bowed his head and reiterated: "The marching soldiers must effectively convey the general order to every household and every mouth. It is strictly forbidden for anyone to go out and walk, and the lights of other people's houses must not be extinguished at night. Those who dare to have private contact, exchange news, and spread rumors will be punished. ”

Wu Henian answered the order loudly, and Luo Lilang turned around uneasily after all.

Deng She knew that he was timid, and said with a smile: "Luo Tongzhi doesn't have to worry. This general got the Dingzhou military report this morning, and the Li army will be stupid and weak, and he doesn't know the method of attacking the city. In yesterday's battle, we were beheaded by our army, and we killed more than a dozen people, thousands of households, and hundreds of households, and retreated three miles overnight. In two or three days, our Shuangcheng reinforcements arrived, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the cowardly generals will be exhausted with our tiger and wolf division, and victory can be expected.

"You know this, I know it, but the people don't know it. In case there is panic and chaos in the city, the people will spread rumors, but it will not be beautiful. At that time, it will not be a single person or a clan that will die. Unless there is a severe sentence, it is not enough to eliminate hidden dangers. That's why the general has only made three orders. ”

Luo Lilang first stood up with Wu Henian, bowed his body crampedly at this time, and said in a loud voice: "My lord has good intentions, and the people love things. The villain is ashamed of his stupidity, and his wisdom is slightly inferior. ”

Wu Henian was clever, and Deng She made a long speech, obviously not just to let Luo Lilang know that victory was expected, but to inform the people in the city, and said: "The adults are obviously severely punished, but in fact they love the people." Virtues can be learned, and when the villain goes back, he must relay the painstaking efforts of the adults, so that the officials can learn, and at the same time educate the stubborn people. ”

Deng She glanced at him appreciatively, got back to business, and asked, "Have you done the few things you were told to do?" ”

"Go back to your lordship, everything is done properly." Wu Henian shook his sleeves and took out a small notebook. Similar to Dunshe's notes, only one size smaller. He held it in the palm of his hand, opened it, and read: "Count and collect a number of corn, livestock, money, and cloth, and a certain number of ,...... from the people." ”

Turning the page, he continued: "Collect all the city, and collect a number of pots, urns, and bottles, and a number of vegetable oil, wood, and firewood. There are a number of beams and tiles in the private room. After reading it, he put away the notebook, carefully put it in his arms, and finally said, "Luo Tongzhi and others have made a lot of contributions in the process of collecting and collecting all things. Adults are discerning. ”

The locals were familiar with local affairs, and without the assistance of Luo Lilang and others, Wu Henian would not have completed the task so quickly. Deng She gave an explanation to Wu Henian, and Luo Lilang and the others would report it at any time if they violated the yin and dragged their feet. He was ready to make an example of the chickens. Now it seems that it is still interesting.

At that moment, he comforted Luo Lilang with a few gentle words, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Since the Koreans stole Shuangcheng, they have done perverse acts; The villain has ambition, showing his teeth and dancing claws. It is extremely hard to persecute and humiliate my Han descendants. Not to mention Xiaomin, even Luo Tong knows you, a protégé of a dignified saint, and he has to look up to his snort. Commanded by its use, like a pig and a dog, he is driven! How unreasonable! ”

At this point, he was furious and slapped the table hard, and the pebble jumped up and fell to the ground. What Deng She said was the truth. Scholars have no status, not only in Goryeo, but also in the Central Plains, or even better. Luo Lilang was quite emotional, resentful, and self-pitying, and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Deng She slowed down his voice: "Luo Tong knows the origin of family learning. Sage Cloud: Kiss and respect. You and I are both descendants of Yan and Huang, and we are in a foreign country, which just coincides with the meaning of 'kissing'. Today's beauty is coming, and it is time to work together. You don't have to worry about the military, you can calm the people and appease the people, Luo Tongzhi, and work hard. ”

Most of the books Deng She read were military books, and he didn't know much about Confucian classics. "Kiss" is used here, a bit reluctantly. Luo Lilang didn't think so, didn't dare to dismiss it openly, and said: "That's exactly how it should be." ”

Dunshe nodded, but did not speak, just smiled at him; Wu Henian sat on one side and coughed; He paused, reacted, and hurriedly continued: "Don't worry, my lord, I will calm the people and care for the people, and the villain will do his duty." As the adults said, the adults are the relatives of the villain, and the adults are the respect of the villain. ”

He was clumsy, and before he came to see Deng She, he had written what he should have said; Wu Henian also secretly mentioned it. After saying it, it was smooth.

Wu Henian secretly mentioned him because of selfishness. He is an old fritter in officialdom, knowing that he is alone, and he has no choice but to go into the den of thieves, in order to save his life and status, he will never succeed without help. is a reckless man in the army, and he is not a person all the way; It's easy to come to a Hong Jixun, who is tall and arrogant, and doesn't lie.

Only Luo Lilang and others are in a similar situation to him: educated and forced to be thieves. With a common language, each has its own needs; After coming and going, the relationship is good. Especially Luo Lilang, who is timid and stupid, has never done anything other than studying, and has no heart. At best, it is said to be generous; To put it bluntly, it's easy to fool around. Therefore, I came to see Deng She today and brought it with me.

Listening to Luo Lilang's expression of loyalty, and seeing Deng She nodding in satisfaction, Wu Henian breathed a sigh of relief; In the end, when the soldiers approached the city, his heart was uneasy, he peeked at Deng She a few times, and asked, "My lord, I don't know if I should say something or not?" ”

"Say it."

"The Li army is violent, and the people in the city are ......"

Deng She smiled: "The chief manager is worried, the siege has been around for a long time, and the people are difficult to soothe?" Without waiting for Wu Henian to answer, he waved his hand and said categorically, "In less than ten days, the siege of the city will be solved." Ben will not only break the siege, but also annihilate the attacking Li army. Show me great Song He Tianwei. ”

1, Goryeo Baiguan hat.

In the leap September of the sixth year of King Gongchou, Si Tian's young eunuch Yu Bixing wrote: "Yulong Jiyun, 'Our country began with Baitou and ended with wisdom. Its potential is a place where the roots of water are dry, with black as parents and green as the body. 'If the customs follow the soil, then the customs will prosper, and the customs, the kings, ministers, and the people's clothes will be covered. In the future, hundreds of civil and military officials, black clothes and green hats. The monk's black scarf crown, and the women's black Luo is in accordance with the local style. "From it.

--Wearing a hat is the privilege of both civil and military classes. There are two classes of family members, and there are also those who wear hats. And the people of Goryeo are not qualified to wear hats.

2. Hat.

The rainy day is covered on the hat, like the top of the official hat of the Qing Dynasty. When not wearing, fold and store.

3. Wooden shoes.

It is made of wood and is also called wooden shoes. Wear it only on rainy days when walking on muddy roads.
