Chapter 367: War resumes
Inside the tent of the Chinese army.
Qin Huaidao sat silently alone, deducing all kinds of possibilities, although Li Jiancheng disclosed his calculations, but it may not be true, Li Chengqian sent someone over, it may not be true either, these two people are not simple, there are capable people around them, and they will never easily expose their true intentions.
However, Li Jiancheng is a rebel in the final analysis, and no matter how much he calculates, he can't change the facts, but Li Chengqian is different, although he planted himself for rebellion, provoked the people below to attack, and finally controlled the people, but after all, he did not openly raise the flag of rebellion, so there were many kinds of interfaces to push himself clean and keep himself out of the matter.
Both of them want to oppose, one is in the light, the other is in the dark, and the means used are also different, Li Jiancheng dares to send troops directly, and Li Chengqian will definitely dare, but 50,000 of the 100,000 troops are in the hands of veterans like Niu Jinda, without Niu Jinda nodding and leading the army, the team will not move, even if Hou Junji is the general manager of the march, unless Niu Jinda is relieved of his position and put people under house arrest.
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao's brows frowned even deeper, in order to control the troops, Li Chengqian even dared to put Xue Wanche, a general sent by the Holy Lord to take charge of the army, and veterans like Niu Jinda felt the same way, as long as they openly disobeyed the order, they would definitely do it, maybe they would have been controlled, otherwise Li Chengqian would not dare to ask him to attack Li Jiancheng together.
"Not good!"
Qin Huaidao got up and shouted, "Su Dingfang." ”
"In!" Su Dingfang, who was guarding outside, hurriedly rushed in.
"Increase the reconnaissance of the east and send more manpower, General Ben suspects that he will do it." Qin Huaidao hurriedly said.
"What?" Su Dingfang already knew that the east side was the prince's army, wouldn't it be a rebellion to do it against everyone? I didn't dare to slack off, and was about to make arrangements, when I heard someone shouting outside, I opened the door curtain and saw that it was a scout, and I was hit by an arrow in the back shoulder, and quickly asked: "I'm injured, what's the situation?" ”
"General, the soldiers and horses in the east are gathering, and the soldiers are sending a large army to strangle us and wait for the scouts."
"Do you really want to do it?" Su Dingfang was taken aback and looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao found that he had underestimated Li Chengqian's madness, was this a plan to openly rebel? But that's right, it's all come to this point, it's impossible to turn back, turning back means nothing, maybe there is still a chance to fight, strode out of the Chinese military tent, and said coldly: "It seems that General Niu They have been placed under house arrest, and they are under control, take them down to heal, and order all armies to prepare for battle." ”
"Obey."
Su Dingfang immediately called someone to come and take away the scouts, and then arranged for some people to go to the various armies to give orders.
Qin Huaidao asked people to help put on the battle armor, his eyes were cold and terrifying, Li Jiancheng in the south had just made a sneak attack, the army had not eased up, Li Qiancheng in the east saw that he couldn't talk, and immediately turned his face and killed, the timing was a little uncomfortable, but the enemy came to the door, there was no reason not to fight.
"General, the military order has been sent to pass on, how can we fight?" Su Dingfang asked, his face was indignant, they were all imperial army troops, wouldn't it be cheaper to fight the rebels in the south?
"Use the trap position to defend, look for opportunities to counterattack, select war horses, prepare heavy cavalry, and press up if necessary." Qin Huaidao said coldly, the fire of war was beating in his eyes, the prince didn't know the soldiers, so he didn't need to worry, but Hou Junji was a battlefield general, but so what?
If you want to fight, you will fight!
"Understood." Su Dingfang agreed and hurried away.
Qin Huaidao put on his battle armor, turned over and got on his horse, holding a stainless steel horse lance, carrying two knives, majestic and majestic, his legs lightly knocked on the horse's belly, and the white hooves were psychic, and he walked forward knowingly.
Descending the hillside, passing through the camp of the Chinese army, soon the two arrived at the front army position, and then came to the front of the formation from the middle passage of the position.
Cheng Chuliang, the former commander of the army, came over on horseback: "General! ”
Qin Huaidao glanced at the other party, didn't reply, his sharp eyes looked ahead, at the end of the barren grassland, there was a faint army coming, but the distance was too far to see it really, Cheng Chuliang at least stepped forward, stood side by side, and also looked ahead, with a fighting intent beating in his eyes.
After a while, the army in front became clear, and the black pressure was overwhelming, like a wave rolling in, the speed was not fast, but it gave people an invisible coercion, and the white hoof Wu felt this coercion, shook his head, and snorted, as if he was laughing at something with disdain.
After waiting for a while, the banner can be seen clearly, it is the banner of the imperial court, the front is the cavalry, the back is the infantry, the number of people accounts for about half, Qin Huaidao did not move, looked at the front coldly, and found that the horse riding was the uniform of the Longwu Army, the Longwu Army is one of the forbidden armies of the Northern Ya, the status and battle are a little worse than the Yulin Army, and they look like government soldiers on foot, and the government soldiers are local troops in various states and do not belong to the forbidden army.
The Longwu army should have been sent by the imperial court to quell the chaos, and the government soldiers may have been requisitioned from Qizhou, Daizhou and other places, the army did not know the truth, and acted according to orders, if it was really killed in battle, it would be in vain, and even on the charge of rebellion, Li Chengqian took 100,000 troops to accompany the funeral for his own selfish desires, and his mind was too vicious, it was 100,000 families, hundreds of thousands of people.
"We must not let it succeed." Qin Huaidao made up his mind and shouted: "Whoever goes to spread the word, let Hou Junji and the prince go out to answer the battle, General Ben wants to meet them." ”
"I'll go." Su Dingfang did not hesitate
Yudi beat his horse and rushed forward.
The other party also sent someone to intercept him, Su Dingfang stopped his horse and shouted: "When the court protects the country, the hussar general has an order, please ask the prince and the general Hou to come out and see him." ”
Seeing that Su Dingfang was just passing the word, and did not use his weapons, the interception team was not embarrassed, and it was normal for the two armies to shout before the battle, and one of them shouted: "Wait." ”
Someone returned to give the order, Su Dingfang was fine, and asked, "You are the brother of Long Wujun, right?" Know what you're doing? ”
"Lao Tzu doesn't have you anti-thief brothers." The other party said impatiently.
Su Dingfang was angry: "You said that the hussar general is a thief? ”
"Nonsense! Beep and chop you again. ”
"Okay, you have a kind, the hussar general is a hero, if you want to rebel, wouldn't you have a better chance in Tibet? Why wait until now, why bother to come all the way from the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to be surrounded by real rebels here, and fight two battles with the rebels? Su Dingfang was speechless with anger.
The other party sneered: "That's because the saint didn't reward the throne of the county king, he was dissatisfied and took the opportunity to rebel." ”
Where did the low-level officers know about the major affairs of the imperial court, but Su Dingfang knew it and sneered: "What did the prince say? ”
The other party was silent with a cold face, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
Su Dingfang continued: "The will of the Holy Lord to reward the king of the county has been transmitted to Tubo, and the ministers of the court know about this matter, how can it be said that the Holy Lord has not rewarded him?" This is a false accusation, the hussar general Gao Yi, refused to give a reward, the saint did not want to go, and the county lord Li Xueyan passed under the door, sealed the princess, and rewarded the hussar general, the monarch and the minister were harmonious, and it was cited as a good story, how did you become dissatisfied and rebel here? ”
"If he is satisfied, why is he hiding and ignoring the government for more than two months? Shengshang Longen, regardless of the previous suspicions, sent people to find it, and was crowned as a hussar general, he is good, not only did not go to Anbei to protect the palace to quell the chaos, but gathered the soldiers and horses of all ethnic groups to rebel, such a person is also worthy of being a hussar general? I-"
"You're looking for death!" Su Dingfang was furious.
"What, I was told by Lao Tzu that my heart is empty?" The other party said disdainfully.
"Okay, you want to die yourself, don't regret it in the future." Su Dingfang suppressed his anger and didn't want to persuade him anymore.
Not long after, a man came over with a horse and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, Qin Huaidao rebelled, and he is not qualified to ask for a meeting, wash his neck and wait for death." ”
Su Dingfang was angry, his eyes were spitting fire, he tried his best to hold back, and turned back with a pull.
After arriving at his own position, Su Dingfang told the original conversation just now, Cheng Chuliang and the other popular three corpses jumped violently, and they couldn't wait to lead the troops to rush up immediately, saying that the hussar general rebelled, that is, he was saying that he rebelled and murdered all his merits, how can this be endured.
Qin Huaidao smiled: "I underestimated him, and the brainwashing is very good." ”
"General, what kind of brainwashing?" Su Dingfang turned his head and looked dazed.
"Nothing, get ready to fight." Qin Huaidao said solemnly, the grassroots officers below can say this, it can be seen that Li Chengqian has made great efforts to discredit himself, maybe the 100,000 army is almost brainwashed, and those who are not satisfied are also controlled, otherwise they will not dare to send troops.
It's pointless to explain to the brainwashed person, it will only get darker and darker, so let's fight!
Cheng Chuliang said angrily: "My Cheng Mansion is full of loyal martyrs, but I was condemned as a traitor, if he succeeds, he can still allow more than 100 people in my Cheng Mansion to live?" also asked the general to return to the Chinese military tent to sit in the town, and the last general fought with him. ”
"Don't be brutal, use the position to fight a war of attrition, drag them down, there are other arrangements for counterattacks, and you must not take the initiative to pursue without an order, otherwise military law will be engaged." Qin Huaidao shouted coldly, I'm really afraid that this guy will make a mistake.
"This ...... Obey! ”
Cheng Chuliang's face was full of grievances, his eyes were red, and he was angry.
