Section 147 Grain Villages
No, Tsing Yi Fang's target is not Jade Dragon Mountain.
If they wanted to pull Yulong Mountain into the water, they should have acted a long time ago. If they want to do something to Jade Dragon Mountain, now is not a good time.
The purpose of Invite Yue and the others is very clear, to completely disrupt the Xishan Road, give Nansang the opportunity to deploy troops, and give Nansang the opportunity to attack the Xishan Road, so as to pull the Zhennan Wangfu off the horse.
There are only two ways to achieve this goal, one is to capture the state capital, which is obviously impossible, and it is simply impossible to take the state capital with a mere 300 troops.
The second option is to attack the battalion. The chaotic deployment made the Zhennan Wangfu have no time to take care of it.
Which army is stationed in Guzhou Mansion again? Shen Mu thought about the sand table he had made before, and suddenly remembered that this was the garrison of the Central Army.
The central army of the imperial court was not under the jurisdiction of the king of Zhennan. It was originally a nail nailed in the West Mountain Road, staring at the Murong Palace, so the location chosen was in the center of the West Mountain Road.
It was best to attack the Central Army with the equipment of the left patrol road. Such a strategy and decision-making may only be thought of by the old man.
It seems that that old man is really from Tsing Yi Fang!
No, we have to find a way to notify the Central Army to take precautions. Otherwise, the situation will be irreparable.
Yin Yue seemed to see Shen Mu's thoughts, and walked straight to Shen Mu: "Mr. Shen, have you figured it out?"
These words seemed to be unreasonable, but they made Shen Mu even more stunned, feeling that he was about to be seen through. Forget it, it's better to be straightforward, so as not to waste your tongue!
"I think I figured it out, but I think your idea is too bold......"
Yin Yue said: "Isn't this what the art of war says about surprise and unpreparedness? You have also seen the casualness of the Central Army, and the persimmon should be pinched softly, and the sweetest one should be picked......
Shen Mu said: "If we want to make a decision, why do you want to take me?"
Yin Yue said disdainfully: "Knowingly ask!, Mr. Shen, I will mix into the camp with 200 people later, and I bother you to take 100 people to the west village of the camp, where the grain and grass of the Central Army are hoarded." When you're ready, you set it on fire!...... By the way, in order to facilitate your deployment of manpower, Wang Jie will follow you...... Also, before the child time, be sure to do it!...... The consequences are severe!"
Shen Mu scolded secretly, and after listening to Yin Yue's words, his favorability towards her suddenly dropped to the bottom......
Yin Yue summoned Wang Jie and instructed: "You are old acquaintances, you must pay attention to Mr. Shen's safety...... Don't let Mr. Shen take half a step out of your sight...... Otherwise, what are Mr. Shen's three strengths and two shortcomings, I'll ask you!"
This sounds a bit like asking Wang Jie to take care of Shen Mu, but in fact, it is just to let Wang Jie keep an eye on Shen Mu all the time, and don't let him make any small moves......
At this point, the favorability is basically zero. This is probably the reason why the positions are different, and they can't become old friends after all!
Wang Jie was very happy, he didn't understand Yin Yue's words, anyway, no matter what the meaning was, it was right to stare at Shen Mu to death.
After a short rest, Tsing Yifang divided the troops into two roads, all the way to the Central Army camp, and then under the leadership of Shen Mu and Wang Jie, they went to the grain village on the west side of the camp.
The two villages are only a few hundred meters apart, there are three ditches in the middle, the ditch is two zhang wide, and the river water is drawn inside. There are seven suspension bridges on the ditch, which are divided into three or four east and west. This practice of separating grain and grass from the barracks is to prevent fire and thieves, and to prevent one's own people!
Why should we guard against our own people? Whoever fights a war will not let their own soldiers see how much grain and grass they have left? No matter how much grain and grass they hoard, it is easy to cause morale to fluctuate. This is a big no-no for generals!
Even if it's not on the battlefield, this kind of caution will still be used.
Shen Mu led the people to lurk near the grain village, and looking at this formation, he couldn't think of how to blend in for a while.
There are about four or five hundred people in the village, and the village is brightly lit, and from time to time there is a group of officers and soldiers patrolling in formation.
Counting the time, it is estimated that when the child will arrive soon, if you can't think of a way to get in, Yin Yue's action will naturally be blocked. At that time, my brother's life will not be guaranteed!
It was not easy to cross such a wide trench.
Since you can't storm it, you can only outwit it.
Shen Mu had a wit and thought about it.
He made people retreat some distance, prepared to light the torches, and then pretended to be a hasty march, and swaggered the leader ran to the grain village. As he walked, he made people shout loudly and pretended to be fierce.
Before arriving at the grain village, the central army had already noticed this team, and now the village building raised its voice. When he boarded, a team of well-equipped central troops ran out, guarded the gate of the wall, hung the suspension bridge, and waited for it!
Although the people in Tsing Yi Fang didn't know what Shen Mu was going to do, Yin Yue had an explanation that he must obey Shen Mu's orders. Even if Shen Mu is messing around, he will also make trouble with him.
The general of the Central Army raised his voice and shouted: "The barracks are heavy, idle people, etc., keep a distance of 100 meters, and there will be no forgiveness for violators!"
Shen Mu stopped everyone, took the torch from one person's hand, and walked slowly to the edge of the trench.
"Brother, don't let go of the arrows!
The tooth general saw that Shen Mu under the firelight was indeed dressed in the armor of the Left Patrol Road, so he said: "The Left Patrol Road is so late, what are you doing here! This is the grain and grass camp of the Central Army, do you know the rules?"
"This general, General Zuo Patrol Dao Dangkou, naturally knows that this is the camp of the Central Army. However, we have military affairs in our bodies, so we have to come and bother!" Shen Mu remembered the official position that Juan had said years ago, so he casually used it nonsense!
"What military affairs do you need to come here? This is a land of grain and grass, you are on the wrong path!"
"We were ordered to arrest the bandits who burned down the Xingzhai Station, and when we chased them here, they were nowhere to be seen. Fang Cai's subordinates came down to report that they saw a bandit swimming across the river and hiding in it. ”
"Fart, I'll wait for the camp all night, and no one will come in. In the big camp, how dare they send them to the door because of their little thieves!"
"Don't the general know that this group of thieves is bold? Why don't they dare to hide here if they dare to burn down the Eight Kingdoms Merchants Post Station? I have a military order in my body, please put down the drawbridge, let's go in and search, if we don't find the thieves, let's apologize to the younger brothers!"
"Nonsense...... This place is not under the jurisdiction of your feudal army, even if there are bandits, you will not be allowed to enter. ”
The two of them talked across the three trenches, both of them straightening their necks and shouting. Others looked at it, but it was as if they were drinking from the other side.
Shen Mu knew that if he wanted to earn the drawbridge, he would not just say a few simple words, so he took a deep breath and organized his language. "Your grandmother's...... Do you really regard yourself as the master? This is the West Mountain Road, look at it clearly! Lao Tzu is the general of the Left Patrol Road, and you can't talk to you about your official position. Lao Tzu is kind enough to discuss with you, but you don't listen, so you don't teach Lao Tzu to scold you! Those bandits are not petty thieves, but they are guilty of the great crime of punishing the Nine Clans! If you let them go, will your kid be responsible? His grandmother's can't bear the responsibility, so let those who can talk come out and talk! Military affairs are urgent, what the hell are your inkblots! If you delay for a minute, you will not be able to get involved if you go up to the peak and surrender your crimes!"
This was the first time that Shen Mu had said so many swear words in one breath, and after scolding, he was already sweating, panting, and his heart was empty! Fortunately, there was some distance, and the man looked down on Shen Mu's expression.
When the tooth general on the other side heard this, his head swelled. They had heard about Xingzhai for a long time. A few days ago, even Gonggong Qiu of the Internal Affairs Office came to transfer troops with a sealed letter. If you are really implicated in this matter, it will really be a disaster from heaven!
The tooth general thought for a moment, and said in a panic: "General, later, I will go to invite the army lord!"
The tooth general went for a moment, leading a general to come.
The general glanced at Shen Mu and the more than 100 "soldiers" behind him, and said in a loud voice: "The brother of the Left Patrol Road, the general Yang Huang, and the general of the fourth rank Yokono. I don't know what a late-night visit is about?"
Shen Mu shouted angrily: "General Yang, your subordinates are so prestigious, we were ordered to suppress the thieves, and now the thieves are hiding in your camp." Not only did you turn a deaf ear, but you obstructed us many times, what is your intention? Do you still have the laws and regulations of Yunzhao Kingdom in your hearts?"
Yang Huang said: "The general hasn't reported his name yet, how do I know that you are really catching thieves, or are you here to mess around?" As soon as he said this, the troops around him took out their bows and crossbows and waited for them.
When Shen Mu heard this, he said secretly: This guy is touching my bottom line, if I don't answer correctly, I'm afraid they will release arrows immediately.
Shen Mu said: "This general Juan, Murong Wangye's account under the left patrol. This time, under the order of Murong Hui's little prince, Mr. Zun's arrangement, he came to search for the thieves who burned Xingzhai. This group of thieves has been hunted down for many days, and tonight someone saw them hiding in General Yang's camp, and asked the general to make it convenient for us to come in and search for it. It's also an explanation to the old prince!"
Yang Huang did hear that there was a general named Juan in Zuo Xundao, but he had never met him. It belongs to a different army, not to mention that the Central Army regards itself as a regular court and does not pay attention to the feudal army. It makes sense that he didn't know Juan.
Yang Huang said: "Does General Hu have a warrant?"
Shen Mu said: "There is no warrant, but there is a card." The general wants to verify it?" As he spoke, he patted the armor on his lower left abdomen, pretending to untie his waist card.
Yang Huang said: "It's not necessary...... It's just that the grain and grass are heavy, and it is really ...... "He has been a general for many years and knows how to advance and retreat." Since the opposite side is the left patrol road of Xishan Road, you can't help but give face, after all, your own garrison here has always been under the jurisdiction of the king of Zhennan, in case something happens, you will be wearing small shoes in the future, it will be embarrassing!
Shen Mu shouted: "General Yang, the stakes are very high, you weigh it yourself." Even Gonggong Qiu of the Internal Affairs Office led troops into the mountains to assist...... I think you should know more about the stakes of this!"
Yang Huang frowned slightly, since the person on the other side could know about Gonggong Qiu's borrowing of troops, then he must be the person from the left patrol road. But...... Grain and grass are heavy, how can it be easy to let people in. If you don't let them in, you will offend Xishan Road.
Yang Huang was in a dilemma, and he didn't dare to answer for a while.
Shen Mu shouted again: "Let go of the thief, you and I can't afford this responsibility." General Yang wants to do it, but don't pull his brother along!"
