Chapter 124: Battle

The lights in the tent were lit all night.

As soon as the sky was bright, Gu Xi, Wen Cheng, and Wen Shunzhi took all the guards out of the camp and went straight to the cavalry camp a few miles away.

Li Sangrou then tried arrows with the blind man, tried it all morning, went to the camp at noon, the blind man discussed with a few craftsmen, repaired it here, changed it there, tried it again in the evening, came back and changed it again, and changed it until midnight.

Gu Xi and the others also returned to the camp in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, Li Sangrou yawned, and as soon as she lifted the curtain, Ruyi greeted her, "The big boss, the big handsome, please come over, there is something important." ”

Li Sangrou went all day, and the blind man couldn't wait to come back on the left or right, so he jumped to his feet and scolded in a hurry.

The next morning, before dawn, the blind man put his blind cane across the door of Li Sangrou's tent and squatted at the door waiting for her.

Today, no matter what, he has to drag her to try the arrow, and when the arrow is tried, he must hurry away!

If you don't leave, you'll really be stuck in the battlefield.

What he hated most was the bloody battlefield that he couldn't breathe.

Fortunately, Li Sangrou had breakfast and followed him to try the arrow, this day, Li Sangrou didn't go anywhere, and no one bothered them, he commanded Li Sangrou, tried all day, changed all day.

……………………

Li Sangrou's group of people had just left the camp to test the arrow, and in the direction of Jianle City, a large group of people and horses, like dark clouds, came straight to the camp.

Forty or fifty paces before the camp, the black-clothed leader, who was at the forefront, raised his arm, motioned for everyone to dismount and rest, dismounted himself, handed over the reins to his companions, and strode towards the gate.

Wen Shunzhi had already received the reward, hurried out, and at the gate of the Yuan, he happened to meet the black-clothed leader, and looked at the group of four or five hundred people outside the Yuanmen, each of whom had four or five horses around him.

Four or five hundred people, more than two thousand horses, but they looked at him silently, looking at the camp.

Wen Shun's back tightened, and his heart was raised.

This murderous aura is awe-inspiring, these are the elite of the elite, and the personal guard team he led is afraid that it is not an opponent.

"Who are you?" Wen Shunzhi's attitude was respectful.

The other party has the strength to make him respectful.

"In Xia Yunyi, lead Yun Mengwei to listen to orders under the commander's account." The man in black clenched his fist against his chest and leaned slightly.

Wen Shunzhi's eyes widened suddenly.

In front of him, it's Yun Mengwei!

Yun Mengwei was founded in the hands of Xianzong, guarding Xianzong to ascend to the great treasure, and then in the hands of the emperor, he has always been the most elite group of people in the imperial army, with great prestige and mystery, no wonder there is such a military appearance and such coercion.

"Please wait." Wen Shunzhi bowed his hand, took a step back, and then turned around sharply and hurriedly reported to the handsome account.

Gu Xi stood in front of the huge topographic map, watched the black-clothed leader bend down and bow his head, entered the handsome tent, and knelt on one knee, "In Xiayunyi, according to the emperor's command, Shuai Yun Mengwei has five hundred people, go to the big marshal's tent, and obey the order." ”

"Get up. The eldest brother told me about Yun Mengwei. Gu Xi smiled and raised his hand, "Before the eldest brother ascended the throne, he often talked about Yun Mengwei, saying that Yun Mengwei's elite is rare, but it is a pity that it is hidden in the shadows all the year round." ”

The black-clothed leader owed a debt and did not speak.

"What's your name?" Gu Xi looked at the black-clothed leader and asked with a smile.

"Go back to Dashuai, Yunyi." The black-clad leader bowed in answer.

"Cloud One? Is this your real name? Gu Xi frowned slightly.

"No, Izumo Mengwei, I have to forget my real name, I have no past."

Gu Xi sighed, "That was before. In the future, it doesn't have to be this way. On the battlefield, you must be upright, have a name and a surname, what is your real name? ”

"Joan." Joan's throat choked slightly.

"Record the original surnames and names of the five hundred people, and where their homes are, and give them to Mr. Wen." Gu Xi pointed at Wen Cheng, and then said with a smile: "In the future, if you have military exploits, you will be sent home in red and banging gongs and drums." ”

"Yes." After Qiao An said yes, she choked back tears, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Gu Xi.

"It's only a day or two away from the big war, rest well, prepare well, this first battle, you follow me, you must beat the prestige of our Yun Mengwei."

"Yes!" Joan replied, took a step back, put her hand on her chest, and bowed to leave.

"The emperor is admirable!" Wen Cheng, who had been standing beside him, clapped his hands happily.

"With the sharp weapon of Yun Mengwei, we can have two sharp arrows!" Wen Cheng took a step forward, turned sideways, and looked at Qiao An who was walking towards the gate outside the gate, his eyes shining.

"Well, when the time comes, I will take Yun Mengwei and Zhihe with the personal guards, these two sharp arrows, the original formation will be changed again, you come here, let's take a look!" Gu Xi happily walked to the sand table.

……………………

In the evening, the city was built.

In the Qingning Palace, Gu Jin sat on the top couch, Wu Xiang and other three ministers, Zhou Shu, and several Shangshu sat at the bottom, Pan Dingshan held a thick stack of books, and the last one ran in.

"Minister......" Pan Dingshan rushed in and knelt down to explain.

Gu Jin waved his hand and said, "I asked you to arrange it first and then come over, you can also sit, I heard that you haven't been back for three nights in a row?" ”

"Yes, sleep well, the emperor can rest assured. If you go back, you will come back and forth, and it will be too delayed on the way. Emperor Xie. Pan Dingshan hurriedly stood up.

Seeing Pan Dingshan sit down, Gu Jin looked around at the crowd: "I just received a letter from the prince, he has ordered the departments of Yangzhou and Runzhou to concentrate in Jiangning City, cross the river, and seize Jiangdu City.

He also ordered the Huaiyang army to divert its route to Jiangning, rendezvous with Yangzhou and Runzhou, and immediately take Chizhou from Jiangdu.

The prince proposed Chu Xing of Yangzhou as the vanguard of the Eastern Route Army, and Huang Yanming of the Huaiyang Army as the commander of the Eastern Route Army.

The Yingtian army was transferred to the west to meet the Xiangyang army of the Southern Liang, and the Yingchang army went around to the rear of the Xiangyang army, and the Yingtian army attacked from the east and west. ”

As soon as Gu Jin's words fell, Zhou Shumi let out a loud breath.

"Shizi, this is ......" A crazy word was stuck between Zhou's secret teeth, half of it came out, and the other half was swallowed back hard.

Listening to the emperor's tone, it is not that he disagrees, the son of the world is crazy, it is not appropriate.

"Didn't you say that Nanliang rode out of the nest? Has there been a change? Wu Xiang asked with a frown.

"The light cavalry gathered in Hefei by Nanliang has more than 80,000, and it should not be more than 100,000." Gu Jin looked calm and composed.

"Then we only have 50,000! 20,000 is still a foot soldier, only 30,000 light horsemen, 30,000! This! That's a lot! This ......" Zhou Shumi wanted to pat the armrest of the chair, but his hand was raised and patted down, but it was empty.

He forgot that they were here with the emperor, only brocade stools, but no armchairs.

"Your Majesty, ......" Pan Xiang's brows twisted into a pimple, and he looked at Gu Jin worriedly.

"The son of the world never ventures, I believe in him." Gu Jin raised his hand to stop Pan Xiang, "Please come over, I want to discuss the weight of grain and grass, and the strategy of the prince will be adjusted, let's follow up immediately." ”

Wu Xiang, Du Xiang, Pan Xiang, and Zhou Shumi, you look at me, I look at you. Wu Xiang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is important, and the minister thinks that you should be cautious ......"

"First, will be outside, when let go; Second, I have faith in the world.

Also, the north and south have been peaceful for more than 20 years, and the light cavalry of the Southern Liang rarely experienced wars, but our soldiers have been fighting with the barbarians in the north.

There is no perfect way to fight a war. Gu Jin interrupted Wu Xiang's words and smiled.

"Yes." Wu Xiangyao answered yes and immediately got to the point.

Everyone agreed, and when they came out, it was already dark, and when they left the palace, Pan Xiang approached Wu Xiang and said in a low voice: "Alas, in my heart, seven up and eight down." ”

Wu Xiang understood what he meant, and beckoned to Pan Dingshan, "The prince plans to have fewer enemies and more enemies, what do you think?" ”

"The prince has a violent temper, and he is indeed not a rash person. I really don't understand about war. In front of Wu Xiang and his father, how dare Pan Dingshan talk nonsense, and besides, he really doesn't understand.

"I'm a timid person." Pan Xiang sighed.

"We don't understand the war, just do our duty, even if it's ...... That's nothing, winning and losing are common.

Qi Liang has been preparing for this battle for nearly 20 years, and it is not possible to decide the outcome in one battle. Wu Xiang raised his voice slightly and said with a smile.

"Also, alas, it has been peaceful for more than 20 years, and it will be fought when it is said to be fought." Pan Xiang raised his head slightly, looking at the palace lanterns swaying in the wind in the night, and there was a little trance.

From peace to chaos in the war, in the blink of an eye.

"After this battle, it will always be peaceful.

I've always wanted to see Gangnam.

My mother grew up in Gusu, and when I was a child, I often heard her talk about Gusu City, and in the spring, it was drizzling and misty, and it was the best place to be idle. In autumn, the city is full of osmanthus trees, a gust of wind passes, osmanthus flowers fall like rain, and there is the fragrance of osmanthus everywhere.

Always wanted to check it out. Wu Xiang diverged from the conversation.

"I want to go to West Lake to see, and they all say that it is the best scenery in the world." Pan Xiang smiled and gossiped.

Xiao Qi said that the white embankment on the West Lake has been booked by Master Li, and when the time comes, she must come down.

said that Li Da said that when she became the boss of Baidi, she would let the female playwrights in that area compete to eat fish in the spring and crabs in the autumn.

said that it was okay, and asked Xiao Qi and Eleven to be judges. Pan Dingshan laughed.

"That's a ...... It's a good fit! Wu Xiang laughed and patted Pan Xiang on the shoulder.

Pan Xiang smiled and sighed.

……………………

In the camp of the Liang army outside Hefei City, two teams of soldiers held spears, one on the left and one on the right, escorting a young man dressed as a seven-grade civil official, and entered the tent of Marshal Wuhuai Yiwu.

Wu Huaiyi sat behind the long case in the middle of the big tent, put his hands on the long case, his face tightened, and looked coldly at the young civil official who was pushed in by the soldiers.

On both sides of the long case, more than a dozen middle-aged soldiers held waist knives in their hands and stared at the young civil officials murderously.

The young civil official was pushed in, five or six steps away from the long case, and bowed his hand, "In Xia Wang Zhang, my family marshal has a letter, and I will send it to Wu Shuai." ”

Wu Huaiyi sat still and didn't speak, the guard standing next to him stepped forward, pinched the letter, took a few steps back, picked up the lacquer seal, poured out the letter, unfolded it, and held it to Wu Huaiyi.

Wang Zhang stood with a smile and watched the guards open the letter and deliver the letter.

Wu Huaiyi lowered his eyelids, looked at ten lines at a glance, raised his hand and flicked the letter forward, and squinted at Wang Zhang, "Your handsome family has sent you to death." ”

Wang Zhang raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I always thought that Jiangnan had a strong literary style and was a place of etiquette and learning, but it wasn't like this?" ”

"You're sharp-toothed." Wu Huaiyi sneered.

"Jiangnan is rich, the home of the peddler's pawn, and he can also send his children to read and write, I have always heard people say this, and I yearn for it, but I am indeed too exaggerated." Wang Zhangyan smiled freely, "Fortunately, I will be able to reach Jiangnan soon, and when the time comes, I must take a good look at whether it is true or not." ”

"I'm afraid you won't be able to see it.

Before you made this trip, didn't you think that there would be no return? Didn't your handsome tell you? Wu Huaiyi looked at Wang Zhang.

"When people are born, they walk the road of no return." Wang Zhang said with a smile.

Wu Huaiyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Wang Zhang again, "Are you from a Jinshi?" ”

"Yes, Gengshenko." Wang Zhang's owe should be.

"Rare." Wu Huaiyi's face showed a hint of appreciation, "Jiangnan is indeed as you said, rich and courteous, and soon, you will be able to go to Jiangnan to have a look."

However, when you go to Jiangnan and want to enter the Shi, then you have to take the exam again, and you are in the same field as the Jiangnan Shizi, but I am afraid that you will lose your name to Sun Shan.

Go back and tell your family that on the 12th, I will fight against him on the battlefield and fight it out! ”

"Yes." Wang Zhang's owe should be.

"Get him out of the camp." Wu Huaiyi commanded.

Seeing Wang Zhang come out of the tent, Wu Huaiyi raised his hand and retreated from the generals who stood in two rows.

Several confidants came out of the back tent, and Wu Huaiyi clicked on the letter on the long case.

Several staff members looked at Wu Huaiyi.

"Tell me." Wu Huaiyi clicked on the letter.

"Coach of Northern Qi, I don't know who it is." The staff who stood at the front wrinkled his eyebrows.

"It must be the Son." Wu Huaiyi snorted coldly, "We've all met, arrogant boy." ”

"This letter is written to the commander by name, this sentence, saying that we should be ready for a battle on the 12th.

He knows a lot about us. Another staff member wrinkled his eyebrows.

"Let's stand on the ground of Northern Qi right now. They outperform us in sentinel spying, this is the proper meaning, this is nothing.

They all know, it's clear, so what? Will they have time to mobilize their troops?

These 12 days are not just 12 days of effort.

From His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to you and me, we have been preparing for these twelve days for seven months.

It's too late for them. Wu Huaiyi patted the long case lightly, in a happy mood.

"And this covenant battle?" The staff at the front looked at the sand table, "According to the sentry, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 people, and most of them are foot soldiers." ”

The staff didn't say anything about the rest of the story. If Northern Qi really knew a lot about them, this covenant would be a little weird.

"That son, he must have read a few military books, and this is about learning what is false and real." Wu Huaiyi snorted coldly, "There is a huge disparity in strength, what about the virtual and the real?"

The order goes down, and the end of tomorrow will set off.

I want to teach him what it means to be false, false and real.

His 40,000 or 50,000 people, just right, a slaughter, is not only a training of soldiers, but also a sacrifice of the flag! ”

……………………

In the evening, Li Sangrou and Dachang sent the rice blind man outside the gate.

"You haven't been back for more than 20 years, there must be something wrong, be careful, if there's anything wrong, run quickly." Li Sangrou handed the reins of the horse to the blind man and explained.

"Do you still need to worry about me? Alas, it's okay, that place, don't say twenty years, a hundred years, two hundred years, it's all the same, okay, I'm leaving, I'll put the horse in the shop for you, alas, what kind of battle, it's so fucking annoying! ”

The blind man looked troubled, holding the saddle with both hands, and when he raised his foot, he couldn't reach the horse's pedal, and when he raised his foot, he still couldn't reach it.

Datsune reached out and grabbed the blind man behind his clothes and lifted him onto the horse.

"Ahem! You can't just tap it! The blind man was caught by Dachang, his collar was stuck in his throat, and he coughed several times.

"Be careful, if you fall, you won't be able to get up." Li Sangrou slapped the horse's buttocks.

"!" The blind man shook the reins and walked away without looking back.

Li Sangrou stood at the gate of the Yuan, watching the blind man and the horse go farther and farther, unable to see, raised his head, looked at the moon that was already half round, for a moment, turned around, and walked towards the camp, while whispering to Dachang: "There will be a fight tomorrow, get everything ready before going to bed, you check it and sleep well." ”

"Hmm." Da Chang hummed lowly.

……………………

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, tension grew in the camp.

Li Sangrou has already cleaned up and is still dressed as usual, but she has changed from white to black.

The white is stained with flesh and blood, and it is too dirty, and the black is not easy to see.

Dachang and Dark Horse, like Li Sangrou, are dressed in black, simple and neat.

The black horse carried four or five quivers on his back, a long-handled knife on his back, two steel crossbows on his back, and a long pole with the banner of his eldest on the long pole, his mace on his back, and a long-handled narrow knife newly picked by Li Sangrou.

The two of them followed behind Li Sangrou, one on the left and one on the right.

Xiao Luzi and the four of them led their horses out of the camp half an hour earlier.

Groups of foot soldiers, carrying half-man-high shields, long spears, and archers, walked in the front.

Li Sangrou was mixed in with Gu Xi's Chinese army, looking at the torrent of shield spears in front of him, and rushed forward.

The sentinel kept running back from the front and rushing out again.

The Southern Liang army was two quarters of an hour behind them, and when they came north, they were all elite cavalry, much faster than them.
