Chapter 54: Youzhou Doesn't Send Troops (II)
Compared with the two, the 300,000 Yuyang army has to face the 500,000 Shu army that poured out of the nest from the Shu land, with a decisive momentum that will become benevolent if it is not successful, but the tiger army here is very relaxed in the face of the 20,000 greedy wolf tribes who came from the desert and invaded blatantly, and it can even be said that in the case of a huge advantage in terms of strength and combat strength, the tiger army does not regard the other party as an opponent who is really worth fighting.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, as soon as the veteran general Pei Zhengyang, who was the commander-in-chief and spiritual leader of the Tiger Ben Army, came, he quickly gathered all the soldiers under him to discuss countermeasures in the big tent and decide how the Tiger Ben Army should act next.
After all, the problem of the cavalry belonging to the greedy wolf tribe entering the country is small, but the problem that is happening in other places is very big, and if the threat of the greedy wolf tribe cannot be dealt with quickly, it will become a big trouble in the future.
The Rakshasa clan is really powerful in being familiar with the terrain and climate of the desert, even if the Tiger Ben army has often broken into pieces in order to survive itself over the years, sending teams to go deep into it, fighting with each other in the desert, learning each other's skills, and polishing their own perseverance, but when they really explore, it can be said that the area they are completely familiar with is not even one percent of the entire Borana.
And once the Rakshasa tribe finds that the situation is wrong, they can rely on their familiar environment at any time to quickly retreat deeper, and the Tiger Ben Army does not dare to go deep alone, so they can only let it go, which is also one of the important reasons why the Rakshasa Clan has poisoned the border for so many years, but they still have not been liquidated.
The Rakshasas are stupid, but that means that their means of playing power are not as good as the politicians and businessmen who have been immersed in them for many years in the surrounding countries, but their fighting instincts are all boiled out in extremely harsh environments, and relying on the experience passed down from generation to generation, their sense of smell is more sensitive than that of evil wolves, and when there is a wind and grass, they are guaranteed to move faster than the most cautious rats in the desert.
But in the final analysis, their biggest disadvantage is their own limited strength, the cavalry of the greedy wolf tribe is just running to fight the autumn wind this time, and they really want to fight the tiger army head-on, they don't know how they died, but if they don't beat them at once, if the tiger army transfers the main force to other places for support, after a long time, it will be easy for the rear to have an accident.
The problem now is that Pei Zhengyang actually wants to go directly to support the war in Yanzhou, but he really can't, he can surprise the Shu army after going around, and liberate the Yuyang army under his old comrades-in-arms first, so they must not be dragged here for too long, if they want to deal with the elite cavalry of the greedy wolf tribe, they must fight quickly, and must not be delayed.
Although Lu Dengyun said that the official position in the army is only a hundred households, but as the successor of the old general, he is already qualified enough to participate in the decision-making of the Tiger Ben Army, but because of his military position, he is only standing at the end of the moment, not a few steps away from the door.
Besides, the rules in this army are strict and insurmountable, but the red tape that civilian officials like to do is abandoned in the army.
"General, these black devils, this time is very strange, if it is the Quadripartite Alliance, why did the other two major tribes not coordinate to send troops? Only 20,000 cavalry dare to come to provoke us, wouldn't it be sent to death? The last general thinks that there must be deception in this, maybe the armies of the other two major tribes have not yet shown their heads, once they risk a decisive battle, I am afraid that they will fall into the enemy's tricks! The last general asks for orders, and is willing to lead the scout battalion to investigate, and within two days, he will be investigated by the general!"
As soon as he spoke, all the soldiers turned their heads to look at him, and many people nodded secretly, praising General Pei for teaching people well.
This can be said to be true at all, now Yanzhou is facing the fierce attack of the coalition forces of the two countries of Wei and Jin, and the Shu State and the Rakshasa clan also sent troops to Youzhou together, blocking the door of their Youzhou, if it is not agreed in advance by several parties, the ghost will believe it, but the other three parties are all doing their best, almost the entire future national fortune has been pressed, but as one of the links, how can the Rakshasa clan have such a small number of troops, which is too abnormal compared to the other three parties.
Even if it is said that the three major tribes are not a whole with each other, and it is difficult to fight together, but as the main messenger behind the scenes, will he rest assured that he will let this mere 20,000 people drag the legs of the entire 300,000 people here?
It's not a pipe dream!
How much does this have to look down on their tiger army, so that they will take 20,000 people to fight 300,000?
On the other hand, if there is really an ambush on the opposite side, it is normal, and then it is necessary to march and fight, intelligence first, food and grass second, find out clearly, plan and then move, in order to win a hundred battles, let people explore the way, it is not indispensable.
The old general Pei Zhengyang sat on the innermost main seat, he did not like to wear full body armor when he came to the army as usual, but he rarely wore a simple and elegant cloth clothes, and his face did not have the spirit of his own house before, but it was a little bleak and worried, and I don't know if it was because of the recent sudden outbreak of war, which caused him to be too tired and worried, and stayed up late to deduce and analyze, and did not rest well, or because of some other unknown reasons.
The old man sighed secretly in his heart, but he quickly made up his mind, beat his spirits, and patted the table gently, and the sound of discussion at the bottom suddenly stopped, and everyone turned their heads to look at the real backbone of the Tiger Army, who sat in the position of the left general of the Youzhou Town Army for decades, and was known as the "Town Army Tiger".
"In any case, whether it is an enemy trap or not, this is a foot that we must step into. Old Man Pei forced himself to shout softly, "When marching to fight, the most taboo hesitates, and in the end we wasted a great opportunity, not to mention that the war on both sides is very urgent now, among the four armies of Youyan, it is our Tiger Ben Army that is the most idle now, no matter what, we have to make some moves, otherwise wouldn't the enemy army be too comfortable?"
"I have made up my mind, this battle must be fought! Ge Yan, Cheng Yan obeys the order! I order you two to lead the original 80,000 soldiers to deal with this gang of black cubs, remember, you must fight quickly! If you can't, stay here to contain them, in short, you must not let them free up their hands to go to other places!"
Although the old man's sideburns are all white, he is already drooping and old, and he is no longer young, but once it is time to give orders, he has a little bit of the demeanor of being young and commanding.
The name of "Zhenjun Tiger" is indeed worthy of its name!
He stretched out his hand and twisted a red stick from the stick holder on the table with two fingers, and threw it directly in front of him, and immediately two middle-aged men stood up from the team on both sides, bowed down to pick it up, got up and clasped his fists at the old man on the main seat and shouted: "The last general will live up to the general's trust!"
"Ma Hui, Chen is not out of the ranks! You two, quickly lead 80,000 soldiers, immediately set off, and go to Donghua Mountain, thirty miles southeast of the Shu army garrison, to wait for military orders!"
As he spoke, another stick was thrown, and immediately two more people stood up from both sides, bowed down in unison to receive the order, and then lifted the heavy curtain at the door together and ran out quickly.
Military orders are like mountains, do not delay!
However, just as the old general Pei Zhengyang was about to continue to distribute troops and make arrangements, a crisp shout suddenly came from the door.
"The general has arrived!"
When everyone in the room heard this, they were taken aback, and many of them even had their hearts beating a little faster.
If Pei Zhengyang is the backbone of their Tiger Army, then the general is the entire Youzhou, from the border army to the local army, even if it is the militia regiment, they all regard it as the main and regard it as the soul of the entire Youzhou.
Although the Xu family of Youzhou has been passed down for several generations and has few people, it is unanimously regarded as the first family of Daliang, the hereditary first-class pillar of the imperial court, and the weight of the reward of the generalissimo of Youzhou soldiers and horses, which can be seen.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the curtain over there, especially Lu Dengyun, who was closest to the door, and was even more nervous in their hearts, the last time he made a big fuss at the post station, and he also beat the people in the General's Mansion, he hadn't forgotten it, he wasn't sure if the other party had forgotten it, and if he was asked, what should he do?
For the sake of General Pei's reputation, he had to take the initiative to plead guilty and accept punishment.
In addition, he was even more curious, what kind of person is this famous Youzhou general, this man who holds the entire Youzhou army?
What does he look like, what is his temperament, is he just relying on the shadow of his ancestors, or is he really capable?
Just as everyone was thinking, suddenly a big hand came in from the outside, lifted the curtain, and held it up, and then saw Xu Jintang pacing with two hands behind his back, with a calm expression, and slowly broke in.
It's just such a simple step, from outside the house to inside the house, everyone suddenly has a feeling that the owner of this place has changed hands.
Xu Jintang was born extremely tall, and because of his perennial martial arts, his body looks very strong, although his muscles are not bulging, but that kind of streamlined figure is even more terrifying in the eyes of those who know how to do it.
He didn't wear any armor on his body, just a simple black suit, and the workmanship materials were not outstanding, but because he was relatively close-fitting, he was full of muscles, which gave people an invisible sense of threat.
His face is clearly defined, his eyes are deep, like a person who has come out of a myth, the moment he came in, the soldiers who have seen a lot of big scenes in it feel that there is a mountain pressing down from the top of their heads, and the feeling of oppression that comes to their faces, as if a dragon has forcibly squeezed into their room, and its huge body is full of it, making people breathless at all.
Is this the Great General?
People who have never seen Xu Jintang only think so.
Seeing this, Pei Zhengyang quickly stood up from behind the table, clenched his fists and said loudly: "The last general, I have seen the general!"
The etiquette cannot be abolished, no matter how much he dislikes Xu Jintang, a junior descendant, but after all, his surname is Xu, after all, he is the only leader of the Youzhou Army, even if it is just to maintain the dignity of the other party, he must do this worship.
Everyone also reacted, and they didn't dare to slack off, and the previous trace of contempt was also put away, and they hurriedly hugged their fists together and said, "The last general has seen the general!"
After an attendant lowered the curtain that had been lifted for Xu Jintang, he stood respectfully behind him like a dog, not daring to make a sound.
Xu Jintang looked sideways at the people in the room, from left to right, sweeping one by one, and the people who were watched by his domineering and heavy gaze all hurriedly bowed their heads, even Lan Yunxuan, who had been standing next to the main seat of the tent and was known as the "smiling tiger", also hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to take a second look.
Only Lu Dengyun, who was standing next to him, was still staring at the tiger, even if he was giving a salute, he still stubbornly raised his head, trembling slightly, especially unconscious, as if he was trying to resist this invisible pressure.
This famous young general star in the Tiger Ben Army, because his hometown is next to Dahe County, is known as the "Tiger of Hedong", and his reputation is not small, but in the eyes of Xu Jintang, he is just a kitten that has not grown up.
The kitten is fried, what is it to him, a real tiger?
Therefore, he just raised his hand lightly and said with a smile: "Get up." ”
It's like a king's landing!
