The Gun Scroll Chapter 20 The Coalition Forces
Sun Yun followed behind Suo Pingzhang and led the whole army to march towards the Fenggul Pass in front.
He looked sideways at Suo Pingzhang, who was riding a horse and walking beside him, and let out a sneer from time to time. Suo Pingzhang was unconscious, his face was as usual, and he looked at the outline of the wind gully that faintly appeared in the distance.
Suo Pingzhang is really mysterious. He is not an important minister or a famous general in Shajiang City, but he suddenly appeared in the court of Shajiang City two or three years ago, and he did not see any military achievements, but he was already an official and a general, and he seemed to be deeply valued by Zhenyuan Hou Diyuan. This time, King Qin, a general like Sun Yun who has been fighting for many years, has to be subordinate to this person. Sun Yun was secretly unhappy in his heart.
And he really didn't know why Shajiang City came to wade through this troubled water. Shajiang City is located in Lizhou in the west, thousands of miles away from Yunzhou, not to mention that there is a Black Rock City next to it. I don't know what Di Hou Ye and Suo Pingzhang explained, so they randomly ordered a team of more than 10,000 people to set off, and the elite desert wolf battalion in the city did not accompany the expedition, obviously there was no plan to really Qin Wang.
Sun Yun guessed that Di Hou Ye wanted King Qin to gain fame, but found that Suo Pingzhang was extremely leisurely along the way, eager to run for two days and rest for one day, and the marching speed was extremely slow, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart that Suo Pingzhang didn't understand the art of war and couldn't bear the hardships of marching. marching like a child's play, not to mention winning the reputation of King Qin, I am afraid that it will be a laughing stock among the world.
He had reminded Suo Pingzhang a few times, but most of the replies were prevarication, so he simply stopped caring about it. It was only half a month ago, they had just walked to Changyin Valley, and news came from the front line that the combined forces of Muzhou and Benhai City had repelled the Yunzhou army, and after Suo Pingzhang knew, he began to lead the army to accelerate, and the team of 10,000 people crossed the entire Zhongzhou in half a month, although it was not as fast as Ye Hengqiu's lone army, it was really not slow.
More than 10,000 soldiers from Shajiang City came to the pass, and the city gate slowly opened. The main force of Muzhou also arrived a few days ago, and now the wind gully pass is quite crowded, originally the location of the wind gully pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I didn't expect such a large-scale army to be stationed when it was built. Now, with the addition of the people of Shajiang City, there are more than 40,000 people in the Fenggul Pass, and the dwellings are full, and many soldiers have no land to support their tents, so they have to lie on the ground in the open space.
Sun Yun followed Suo Pingzhang to the conference hall, and the leader of the hall seemed to be a young man in his twenties and five-five, and a middle-aged man in his forties was next to him, who seemed to have a very high status. Sun Yun quickly realized the identities of the two and saluted with Suo Pingzhang.
Ye Hengqiu returned the salute quietly, and said softly: "General Suo is so troubled, he came all the way from Lizhou, and he arrived at such a distance of more than two months, it is really a good way to govern the army." ”
Suo Pingzhang didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Ye Hengqiu's words at all, and smiled heartily: "Ye Xiaowang is polite, so bold, he is really a hero out of a young man." ”
Ye Hengqiu smiled faintly, didn't reply, and continued: "General Suo came all the way, and he must have known my plan to enter Yunzhou, so which side is Shajiang City on?"
Suo Pingzhang did not hesitate and spoke decisively: "Before setting out on the expedition, Di Hou Ye specially instructed that the entire army of Shajiang City in this battle, including Suo someone, should be dispatched by the Qinwang coalition army. ”
Ye Hengqiu showed a rare expression of surprise. In the Wind Gully Pass, the Sand Frontier City was lonely, and he naturally didn't think that Suo Pingzhang would be stupid enough to be the enemy of the Ye Xiao family alliance in the Wind Gully Pass, but he didn't expect such a simple agreement. At the moment of the great enemy, the strength of Shajiang City is very important, and Suo Pingzhang can completely offer some conditions, instead of happily handing over all the military power to himself. Ye Hengqiu looked at Suo Pingzhang with some suspicion, secretly wary in his heart.
But he quickly adjusted and smiled slightly: "That's good, with the help of General Suo, so that the coalition has been completed, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy army and destroy the prestige of Wei Zhuoxi's thief." ”
"That depends on King Chengji and Ye Xiaowang to exert their might. Suo Pingzhang smiled humbly, "Everyone is here for King Qin, Suo is only a shallow learner, and it is difficult to be a big responsibility, and the position of the commander of the coalition army naturally does not dare to covet it." It's just that Ye Xiaowang is a young talent, and King Chengji is brave and good at fighting, who will sit in this position?"
Zheng Fang's face behind Xiao Mu changed. Suo Pingzhang's face was as usual, as if he really raised a doubt, waiting for everyone to answer it.
Xiao Mu chuckled and said, "If it weren't for the fact that this king has a great friendship with the king of Muzhou Pingnan, he would definitely think that General Suo was a clumsy and deliberate transfer." ”
"Don't dare!" Suo Pingzhang shook his head with a smile, "Suo Mou just saw the two heroes, and he was a little curious, how can it be regarded as provocative." ”
Xiao Mu was unmoved, and said slowly: "Ye Xiao Wangye's resourcefulness, this king has already seen it. In this position, this king is willing to hand over to young heroes like Ye Xiaowangye. ”
Ye Hengqiu bowed to Xiao Mu and thanked him: "The prince praised it falsely. ”
Suo Pingzhang only smiled and bowed his hand to Ye Hengqiu: "Then Suo Mou and the generals of Shajiang City are also sent by Ye Xiaowangye. ”
Everyone laughed politely at each other for a while, and then Ye Hengqiu led everyone to a map. Ye Hengqiu's deputy general Yang Huan spoke first: "Half a month ago, Wei Zhongjue led the army to retreat, and now he has returned to Yunzhou. Wei Zhongjue deliberately restrained his troops, half of Yunzhou's troops have been gathered in Yunzhong City, the main city of Yunzhou, and there should be no greater obstacles for us to go to Yunzhong City along the road. But it is said that they have been regrouping frequently and have never slackened. And that Wei Zhongjue not only did not enter the city, but also personally led the Yunhai Iron Cavalry to be stationed less than a hundred miles away from Yunzhong City, so that the army's response and operation were faster. Moreover, this is a rare highland in Yunzhou, where the cavalry occupies the terrain, and the power of the charge is superior. ”
Xiao Mu touched his stubble and said: "Wei Zhongjue can naturally think that taking the lead in retreating will be a signal of weakness, and the opponents who were afraid of their military might before will consider intervening and trying to get a piece of the pie from Yunzhou, so they will inevitably remain vigilant." As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at Suo Pingzhang. Suo Pingzhang was unconscious, and Xiao Mu continued: "Yunzhou has flat terrain and few jungles, which is an excellent place for the Yunhai Iron Horse to play a role. If we want to go to Cloudsdale, this is an inevitable hurdle. ”
Ye Hengqiu was thoughtful and asked, "Does Prince Xiao have a clever plan?"
Xiao Mu shook his head and said, "I never thought of it." Judging from the posture of the opponent's arrangement, Wei Zhongjue's side cannot be bypassed, although there are only 30,000 Yunhai Iron Cavalry, but the distance they chose is not far or close, the attack can be reinforced by Yunzhong City, and the retreat can quickly retreat into the city. In any case, on such a plain, it was the other party's Yunhai Iron Cavalry that took the initiative. ”
Ye Hengqiu looked at Suo Pingzhang again, Suo Pingzhang smiled, and looked indifferent: "The last general is only shallow in learning, and there is really no good way." Sun Yun scolded secretly on the side.
Ye Hengqiu was silent, as if he was thinking, and Suo Pingzhang next to him also made a contemplative expression.
"I saw before that in the storehouse of the Wind Gully Pass, there were some fortifications and some carpentry tools. Ye Hengqiu said suddenly.
Yang Huan nodded and said, "Exactly." It's just that this fortification has been around for some years, and some of it has been eaten by insects, and this carpenter's tool, what is the use of Ye Pai?" everyone looked at each other suspiciously, not knowing the meaning of Ye Hengqiu's words.
I saw Ye Hengqiu nodded, his fingers lightly tapped on the map on the table, and asked again: "The army outside the city, besides Wei Zhongjue, what other characters are there?"
Yang Huan replied: "In addition to Wei Zhongjue sitting as a staff officer, there are also Zhang Luo and his two younger brothers in the army, Wei Zhuoxi's eldest son Wei Boyu and Lin Li guarding Yunzhong City. ”
"Wei Zhongjue is not good at force, and his command is cavalry, he will definitely stay on that high ground, right?" Ye Hengqiu seemed to have a clue, and his eyes lit up.
"Directly to Wei Zhongjue? Wei Zhongjue should not make this kind of mistake and let himself be in danger. Let him drag it out for a while, and the support of the Yunhai Iron Cavalry will be very fast, and he will have to suffer the enemy on his back. Xiao Mu frowned.
"Nature needs some means. Ye Hengqiu's face gradually returned to his previous calm and calmness, and he looked confident. Xiao Mu didn't continue to ask, nodded lightly, but Suo Pingzhang, and a different color flashed on his face.
