387 Capture the thief and capture the king first

When Zong Yunfan heard this, he almost jumped off his horse.

He turned around in shock and saw Tang Tingting with a wooden hairpin on her head, and her head shook and shook.

"This ......" He just wanted to say that it was carved for Lin Yan, but he didn't have time to send someone to the capital to send it.

But seeing Tang Tingting's joyful eyes, thinking about the other party being far away from the capital and her parents, or Mo Ning gave Lin Yan a better hairpin.

He swallowed the words that he was about to blurt out, and turned his head to look for Tianfu in the crowd.

Tianfu was right behind him, and seeing that the situation was not right, he hurriedly shrank back, trying to make his burly body look less conspicuous.

He saw that Zong Yunfan carved the hairpin but never gave it out, thinking that he was going to give it to Tang Tingting but was embarrassed, so he picked it up from the table and handed it to Tang Tingting.

Could it be that there is another story in it?

He couldn't imagine that his little general still had a little cousin in his heart, although his feelings were very pure.

Zong Yunfan held back for a long time, and finally said: "There is no good gold shop here, I will make up a good one for you when I go back to Beijing." ”

After saying this, his face turned red, his legs clamped the horses, and he hurried towards the front of the team.

Tang Tingting was also silent.

Fortunately, not far from Yunzhou, Song Guogong sent his youngest son Liu Chengzhou to meet him halfway.

A pair of teams returning from the marriage entered Yunzhou City, which did not arouse the minds of many people, and Song Guogong did not think much about it and set up a dust washing banquet for them that night.

After being halfway drunk, Zong Yunfan saw that there were only Song Guogong's father and son and him in the house, coughed, took out the formation map from his arms and handed it to Song Guogong:

"Uncle Shi, this is my main purpose for borrowing Yunzhou this time."

Song Guogong's face was immediately solemn, and he carefully took over the defense map and opened it, and couldn't help but gasp.

He knew that it was impossible for Zong Yunfan to make a good detour to Yunzhou, and the secret letter given by King Ning only said that he would train the army diligently, and did not explain any tasks.

At this time, when he saw the formation map, he still didn't understand something.

"It's just, what's the situation in Jingli? Is it possible to wage a large-scale war now? "Driving the Tartars to the west side of the lake is not something that can be done by talking.

Zong Yunfan said: "The situation in the capital is clear, and King Ning's position in the prison country is stable, so it's time to have a big battle to build a foundation for his future." ”

In the past few years, the Great Zhou has enough food and horses, and there are not many elite soldiers, but it is enough to fight a tartar.

At that time, Emperor Jianyuan was afraid that his position would not be guaranteed, so he transferred all the generals he could use into the capital.

There are Wen Zixiao and Lin Yanhe in Meningjing, and Lu'anhou and Changpinghou remain neutral, which is enough to stabilize their position.

Song Guogong has many years of combat experience with the Tartars, and he has an army of 100,000 in his hands.

Song Guogong had long thought of doing this one day, and suddenly became arrogant, picked up the bowl and said to the capital: "I will live up to King Ning's expectations!" ”

The atmosphere in Yunzhou City suddenly became tense, and Zong Yunfan rarely asked Tang Tingting to take the initiative to speak: "Don't run around, just stay in the mansion." ”

Tang Tingting is usually like a tiger, but she knows the priority of things at critical moments, and this time she faintly heard her father say that Zong Yunfan may have to go to the battlefield.

She touched the wooden hairpin on her head and nodded, "I know." ”

Zong Yunfan looked at the other party's smooth face, and was in a trance.

If he hadn't been married, would he pay so much attention to this girl?

It is said that this kind of out-of-the-box temperament is not the type he likes.

I don't know why, a certain piece of my heart suddenly cracked, and it hurt faintly, but I couldn't tell why.

He rolled his throat twice, stammered and said to Tang Tingting: "That wooden hairpin, it's not good-looking, go back to the capital, I'll give you the best!" ”

After finishing speaking, he ran away, and he didn't even have the time to buffer Tang Tingting.

Tang Tingting was stunned for a while, and then the corners of her mouth curled up and smiled sweetly, and she smiled and laughed, and tears fell in her eyes.

She raised her head and glanced in the direction of Shangjing City a few times, Lin Yan should have fallen asleep with Mo Ning in her arms at this time, right?

Fortunately, I didn't meet it sooner or later.

Now, just right.

Why is it a disaster for a long time Zong Yunfan came to the northwest for the first time, standing on the wall of Yunzhou and looking at the slow yellow sand, it was the same as far as the eye could see.

How to find traces of enemies in such a place?

It's desperate.

Liu Chengzhou stood beside him and said, "In the past, we were very passive in resisting the Tartars. Last time, Brother Lin caught a Tartar guide and touched the local rear camp raid. Since then, my father and I have fought a few small battles in this way. ”

However, because there was no instruction from Jingli, let alone a local camp defense map, they did not dare to send troops without authorization.

It's gone far, and the logistics can't keep up.

Zong Yunfan nodded: "This time, we have a formation defense map, and there are guides in the army, taking advantage of the lack of water and grass now, we will catch him off guard." ”

Song Guogong was in full swing and tentatively took the enemy's two grain depots and military camps, and sure enough, the other party was in chaos first.

Several people couldn't sleep with excitement, and Zong Yunfan even personally asked for his life, to be the vanguard to find out the remaining defenses, and then break them all, and be sure to drive the Tartars out before the spring rain.

Unknowingly, Zong Yunfan has been in Yunzhou for half a month, and while the Tartar is not awake yet, he must take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Song Guogong was also short of manpower, so he agreed to Zong Yunfan's proposal and gave him a small team of men to go deep into the desert.

Zong Yunfan lived up to his expectations, broke the enemy's two camps one after another, and took advantage of the night, he followed the index on the map and touched the next small tribe closer to the water source.

Because the Tartar tribes are scattered, the leaders of all parties will only get together during major battles, so this time the small tribe did not know that there were neighbors around it who were destroyed.

The air was cold and swishing, and at this hour, people had already slept in the tents, and Zong Yunfan led people to sneak into the tribe quietly and move towards the most exquisite tent.

As a rule of thumb, this should be the leader's tent.

Zong Yunfan was excited, this was the second time he went to the battlefield, and the first time he was almost killed in northern Xinjiang, but fortunately he was rescued by Mo Ning.

This time, several victories in succession made him float a little, and when he touched the tent, he made a gesture and picked up the dagger himself and picked a gap.

It was so dark that I couldn't see anything, only the sound of snoring.

Zong Yunfan ignored Tianfu's dissuasion, slipped in, and when he touched the side of the bed, he raised his hand to cut off the head on the bed.

He's done the same thing before, and he's never missed.

Who knew that this time, as soon as he raised his hand, the tent suddenly became brightly lit, and the sound of fighting sounded outside.

The beard on the bed was raised, and he laughed: "The people of Da Zhou are stupid, I really think we are so easy to deal with!" ”

Tianfu's voice came from outside: "Little general, come out quickly, there is an ambush!" ”

It's a pity that it's too late, and the people in the ambush in the tent rushed up and tied up Zong Yunfan.

Zong Yunfan only had time to shout: "Leave me alone, go quickly!" ”

The sound of fighting outside gradually subsided, and a slender tartar walked into the tent and kicked Zong Yunfan angrily: "The people of the Zhou Dynasty run like rabbits every time, and they haven't killed a single one!" ”

Zong Yunfan breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to the bearded man just now say: "What kind of little general is shouting outside, at least this time we have caught a leader of the other party!" ”

Isn't there a saying in the Central Plains, capture the thief first and capture the king!
