Chapter 151: The crisis is approaching

⊙_⊙b Khan, today I suddenly reacted, and I have been writing Hu Luguang as Hu Lawyers' Association, it seems that I was too deeply affected by watching "The Legend of the Founding of China" before! However, if you are wrong, you will still write it as Hu Lawyers' Association in the future!

Since ancient times, doctors like to talk about the patient's condition before seeing a doctor, so that the patient's family will be very grateful to themselves, and it can be said that it is because the condition is too serious. Like doctors, strategists or planners like to be alarmist at the beginning of their speeches, so as to make them pay attention to their words.

However, no matter how people use this kind of speaking technique, they can always get the effect they want at that time, and after Meng Lingtong said such a thing this time, he couldn't help but ignore Dugu Yongye, he looked up at the middle-aged scribe in front of him and said in surprise: "I don't know why Master Meng said this?" ”

Seeing that Dugu Yongye really began to listen to his own words, knowing that his alarmism had worked, Meng Lingtong smiled slightly: "I guess the general must be planning to go upstream along this Surabaya, and then pass through the mountains and then go down the Fang River to Dongtaishan County, North Xuzhou (Linyi) and other places!" ”

"Oh? Sir is really wise! Dugu Yongye raised his eyebrows and asked with consideration, "I don't know how Mr. saw it?" While speaking, Dugu Yongye's title to Meng Lingtong began to change, and it seems that this is not an arrogant person who still respects talents.

If you lead the army south to Pengcheng, you will definitely go south along Surabaya in Yanzhou, why bother to come to Qufu, where is there a way to go elsewhere except for going upstream to North Xuzhou along Surabaya.

But thinking in his heart, he couldn't say that, Meng Lingtong said with a smile: "Now that the official army is fighting with the Sanqi anti-thieves in Jeju, and the general suddenly secretly came south from the Jeju front line to here, it must be to take action against Dongtaishan County, Lanling County, and North Xuzhou, which are outside the forces of all parties, and the lower officials can't think of other reasons!" ”

Seeing that Meng Lingtong had already guessed his plan, Dugu Yongye no longer concealed it and nodded: "Yes, Wang Yong's eyes are narrow-sighted, and Chen Baxian is also short-sighted, and he actually allowed all the powerful to occupy important places such as Northern Xuzhou, Dongtaishan County and Lanling County without personally occupying them, but they didn't come to take it, this is my opportunity!" ”

Dugu Yongye said with his head held high: "Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Sanqi rebels are now pinned down by the Jeju army and have no time to look around, and Nanchen is unable to go north, I just take advantage of the situation to seize the land of these three counties to cut off the connection between the Sanqi rebels and Nanchen, and if possible, I will take advantage of the situation to go north and attack the back of the Sanqi rebels' weak defense!" ”

Speaking of Dugu Yongye, he seems to have seen himself as the biggest contributor to the pacification of the land of Sanqi, serving as the generalissimo, serving as the great Sima, marrying Bai Fumei, and stepping on the peak of his career, and he was still a little excited in his heart!

However, Meng Lingtong had some objections after hearing Dugu Yongye's plan, he bowed down and said: "The general's plan is indeed good, but in this way, the first person who has won the first credit for pacifying the three Qi is still the governor of Hulu, and the general only gets a second-class credit at most!" ”

Hearing that Meng Lingtong had objections to his plan in his tone, Dugu Yongye couldn't help but look into his eyes and asked, "Oh? I have not only the great merit of recovering the states and counties to block the traffic of the two enemies, but also the merit of defeating the traitors of the Three Qis, why does Mr. say that my merit is inferior to that of the Governor of the Hu Lawyers Association? ”

Listening to Dugu Yongye's rather unconvinced tone, Meng Lingtong laughed and said: "The general thinks that after you pacify the three counties in front of you, you will attack the back of Sanqi, how can the Sanqi rebels not get any news?" By the time you take North Xuzhou, Dongtaishan County, and Lanling County, I am afraid that the Sanqi rebels will already be ready for battle, and how will the general make miraculous achievements at that time? ”

"I wonder what the gentleman has to teach me?" This time, Dugu Yongye finally let go of all the reserves in his heart, and respectfully saluted Meng Ling's peers and asked, "Please also say it clearly!" ”

Meng Lingtong stroked his beard slightly, and said with a smile: "I have a plan to make the general immortal, but I don't know what the general wants?" ”

"But Mr. teach me!" Dugu Yongye immediately hugged his fist!

"According to my observation over the years, Chen Baxian is not a short-sighted person, and Wang Yong is not necessarily a short-sighted person, but Wang Yong is too shallow after all, and when he goes to Nanqingzhou, the three places of North Xuzhou to the south have been nominally attached to the Southern Dynasty, so Wang Yong will definitely not be able to take these places regardless of the friendship with Nan Chen."

"And Nan Chen took advantage of the opportunity of all countries to attack my Great Qi to launch a large northern expedition, it is not easy to recover the land of Lianghuai in one fell swoop, in this case, it is already its limit to rely on the power of the mob of the three counties of Haizhou to seize the three counties of Haizhou, where is there still excess troops to continue to go north to seize North Xuzhou, Dongtaishan County, Lanling County, these places! Therefore, these states and counties could only be nominally annexed. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Lingtong's voice was slightly raised: "But in this way, Wang Yong can't go to these states and counties because of Nan Chen's face, and Nan Chen is limited to his own strength, and can only occupy these states and counties in name, but in this way, the general just takes these places and gets some more credit by the way!" ”

Hearing this, Dugu Yongye couldn't help but hurriedly asked, "What if you follow what Mr. said?" ”

Meng Lingtong said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, these are just some small merits, dare to ask the general's subordinates have heard that Emperor Chen Baxian of Southern Chen has been sick since the Northern Expedition to Shouchun in the spring of this year, and he is even more bedridden in the summer, and he is still ill for a long time, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

Dugu Yongye was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what the relationship between his attack on North Xuzhou and other places was related to Mr. Chen Ba's illness, but he still asked: "This is true, Chen Baxian has been sick for more than half a year!" But what does this have to do with the immortal deeds we are about to make? ”

Meng Lingtong glanced at the bright sunshine in the courtyard and said to Dugu Yongye: "The general knows that the winter of the Southern Dynasty is not as sunny as ours here, because of the many lakes and rivers in the Southern Dynasty, the winter there has always been cold and damp, and now it is winter, Chen Ba has not recovered from his illness for a long time, and he will definitely not survive this winter, so that Hou Andu and Cheng Lingxi, who are in Eastern Chu Prefecture, must have one of them to lead the army back to Jiankang to suppress the overall situation, so that Nanchen will inevitably be on the defensive on the border." ”

Speaking of this, Meng Lingtong drew a rough map on the dirt ground with a branch, and he pointed to the rough map on the ground with the branch and said to Dugu Yongye: "In this way, I can draw out a part of the troops on the southern front, and the general can write to General Murong Yan, who is responsible for the defense of Xiapi and Pengcheng, and ask him to send troops to seize Dongtaishan County and Lanling County, and the general only needs to lead his troops to take North Xuzhou!" ”

Hearing Meng Lingtong's words, Dugu Yongye was a little embarrassed: "Sir, I don't know, I have never been sociable, and I have no contact with Murong Yan, I'm afraid he may not necessarily do what I requested!" "As a lone minister, Dugu Yongye really doesn't have too many friends and acquaintances.

"The general gave him a great achievement at his fingertips, why would he not want to!" Meng Lingtong laughed and threw away the branch in his hand.

"There are so many bandits in this group of mountains!" Dugu Yongye, dressed as a businessman, wiped the sweat from his forehead, even after walking the mountain road for so long in winter, he was still sweating.

"General, the phrase 'since ancient times Shandong has come out of the ringing horse' is not a lie" Meng Lingtong, who was also dressed as a scribe next to Dugu Yongye, smiled, and was wearing a collared robe, which was given to him by Dugu Yongye.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there have been many thieves in this large area of mountains, and after the Qin Dynasty unified the Six Kingdoms, the descendants of the Six Kingdoms who were unwilling to fail and many people who violated the law also fled to the mountains of central and southern Lu to become thieves, and the officials and troops could not control them.

To the Northern and Southern Dynasties is the world is in turmoil, hundreds of years of conquest is not stopped, countless people of the Northern Dynasties who can not flee south have no way to go but to flee into the mountains of Mount Tai, although from the middle and late period of the Northern Wei Dynasty began to control a large area of land north of the Huai River, but also for this large area of mountains also only controlled the city in the mountains, and the other mountains and forests are still full of mountain people and bandits who are unwilling to submit to the Northern Dynasties.

Now that the Northern Qi Dynasty has lost control of these places, where there is too much deterrence, the mountain people living in this large area of mountains are hunting for a living on weekdays, and the folk customs are very fierce, as long as someone picks the head, even if it is a tiger's butt, they dare to touch it.

Because Meng Lingtong and Dugu Yongye only took a small number of elite soldiers to disguise themselves as horse dealers, they encountered seven or eight bandit attacks one after another along the way, and even the elite men lost more than a dozen people one after another.

Meng Lingtong also did not expect such an encounter, as a civil official, although he knew that the price of war horses had risen a lot after the war, but he could not understand that the attraction of a good horse to any man at that time was incomparable.

Although the bandits who plundered them along the way were all exterminated by the army that followed behind, this kind of grievance in his heart was really unpleasant, and what worried Dugu Yongye the most was that he was afraid that the defenders of Pingyi in front of him would get his news in advance.

Pingyi City is an important transportation artery along the Surabaya leading road to the Yishui River of the Fanghe River, which can be described as an important place for soldiers, thousands of years ago here is the country established by Taihao, the leader of the Dongyi tribe with the surname of the wind, which is the small country where everyone used to learn when they went to school.

At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Cheng of Zhou was named "King of Zhuan", and the main task of Zhou Tianzi to the country was to worship Mengshan, because Mengshan belonged to the main mountain of the five directions and its status was higher than that of Wuyue at that time, but because of the small and weak state of Yuanyu, it became a vassal of Lu in the early Spring and Autumn Period and was finally destroyed by the Chu State.

Now the defenders of Pingyi are sent by the Ba Shi who occupy the power of North Xuzhou, at the beginning of the Ba Shi occupied the North Xuzhou because of the fear that the Qi army would come from the west and stationed thousands of soldiers and horses to guard here, but at that time the Northern Qi was surrounded by all sides and had no time to manage here, and gradually the attention of the Ba Shi to Pingyi gradually shifted to the south.

Because Northern Xuzhou is in the upper reaches of Yishui, you can reach East Xuzhou, which is now gathered by the army, that is, Xiapi City, which is defended by Murong Yan's army, there are so many Northern Qi troops at the door of the house, and Ba Shi does not pay attention to it, although these troops were pinned down by the Southern Chen Northern Expedition army before, but who knows when they will turn their heads and fight it.

Dugu Yongye was lucky, when he came to the outside of Pingyi City with soldiers disguised as caravans, it was already close to dusk, seeing that the new caravan brought so many war horses, the generals guarding the city wanted to swallow such a batch of good horses, but they opened the city gate without much thought.

Needless to say, the defending generals who coveted other people's goods were immediately captured by Dugu Yongye, and then hundreds of elite soldiers quickly took the dangerous place of Pingyi City.

After entering the city, they changed back into their respective clothes, Dugu Yongye couldn't help laughing at Meng Lingtong and said: "Mr. is really talented, the defenders will automatically open the city gate to welcome us without us doing anything!" ”

After taking away the most dangerous Pingyi City, the road behind is easy to walk, as long as you go down the Fang River through Fei, the former Lu State Doctor Ji's mining estate, you can reach North Xuzhou!
