Chapter 92: The Sense of Smell
Yang Zheng expected that Jiang Faye's life would not be easy, and he had already offended Mi Dang and Oh He in Baishi Valley that day.
It's just that I didn't expect Oh He Yaoge to come to the door so quickly.
However, Mingyue Gorge is in the southwest of the green flower ridge area, belongs to the east foot of Jishi Mountain, the west of Min Mountain, just sandwiched between the Yesujiang and Midang forces.
With the current strength in hand, it is no problem to make Russia burn, but it is a little overstretched against Midang and Ye Sujiang.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to save it.
First of all, Jiang Faye is his father-in-law and brother, and these two layers of relationship are here, and they can't be saved if they can't be saved.
Secondly, Jiang Faye is an enlightened person among the Qiang people, and he also has some prestige among the Qiang people.
After figuring it out, Yang Zheng wrote a letter to Xiahouba, bluntly saying that Jiang Faye was besieged by the Qiang people and went to mediate himself.
It's definitely not enough to just rely on lip service to mediate, and you have to bring a knife to do everything these days.
With more than 3,000 regular troops in his hands, Yang Zheng brought 1,000 Qiang battalions, 1,000 battalions, and left 800 people for Zhou Yu to defend the city.
The only armor and weapons were taken away by Yang Zheng.
If it is not enough, it can only be replaced by miscellaneous weapons that have been collected.
axes, hatchets, kitchen knives, broken swords, mallets...... It's a mess of everything.
Metals were precious in these days.
Yang Zheng looked at his subordinates and felt that it was really a little unorthodox.
If the expansion is too fast, the shortcomings will come.
Some time ago, Yang Zheng also had a trace of ambition, and when he saw the appearance of the army today, it was really miserable, not to mention the armor, some Qiang soldiers even had their clothes pieced together......
There are only 600 soldiers and more than 100 veterans of the armed guard battalion.
Feng Fatzi said that he would provide equipment, but he disappeared as soon as he slipped away, and there was no news.
Yang Zheng felt that he was not going on an expedition, but taking a group of beggars to ask for food......
After thinking about it, isn't it just to ask Oh He Yao Ge for food?
If he doesn't give it, then the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out.
The wind and snow outside the city have long stopped, and the cold wind is still there.
The ice on the Yellow River can cross people.
I haven't seen it for more than a month, and the Xihe camp is already decent, with antlers, towers, and dark castles, one after another, and hundreds of Qiang soldiers are training with wooden spears, and their spirit is good.
"He Yao Ge has always been cunning, and the general must be careful in this trip." Zhang Te reminded.
Yang Zheng's heart moved, he was worried about Oh He Yaoge, it was hard to say that he didn't think about himself.
This person is not an ordinary Qiang chieftain, he has a close relationship with the Qiang King, and Yang Zheng has already learned his chicken thief.
It is said that this guy knows the relationship between Jiang Faye and himself, and he dares to do it, which inevitably has a different meaning.
The great man said that strategically it is possible to despise the enemy, but tactically it must be taken seriously.
During this time, it was the migration of the Qiang people and the suppression of bandits, which must have alarmed Oh He Yaoge.
He is a laborer expedition, and the enemy is waiting for work.
The right time, the right place and the right people are all in his hands.
"Could it be that Oh He Yao Ge wanted to earn me and deliberately put Jiang Adao to ask for help?" Yang Zheng said his guess.
Zhang Te frowned, "The terrain of Mingyue Gorge is complicated, and ambushes can be hidden everywhere, the Qiang people have always held grudges, and the general has twice done bad things for Russia and He to burn Ge, and it is reasonable for him to take revenge." ”
Yang Zheng ordered someone to summon Jiang Adao, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, who broke through the siege of the enemy and was unharmed, and some could not be said.
And Jiang Adao is not a natural fierce man.
"How did you break through?"
Jiang Adao rubbed his hairstyle with open teeth and claws, "Rushed out." ”
"You're the only one rushing out?"
These words seemed to touch his sadness, and his eyes were quickly clouded with a layer of water, "Daddy chose the bravest twenty people to protect me...... Let me find you...... He, they all died on the road......"
Yang Zheng and Zhang Te glanced at each other, probably already knowing what had happened.
The Wilderness Department was originally a small tribe, and there were only about 1,000 people in the clan.
And Oh He Yaoge is a big tribe, there is no reason why he can't attack Mingyue Gorge for so long.
"Ask the general to save Daddy." Jiang Adao burst into tears.
"Manly man, what are you crying about!" Yang Zheng's face sank.
Jiang Adao's crying stopped abruptly.
"You're a man now, too, and men bleed without tears." Yang Zheng patted him on the shoulder.
"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, and my subordinates will lead a hundred scouts to investigate." Zhang Te took the initiative to ask.
The terrain of Mingyue Gorge is complicated, icy and snowy, and he is a snake on the ground, so it is not so simple to find out the ambush.
Peek-a-boo in the snow and ice is not a wise choice.
In view of the special geography of Mingyue Gorge, it is better to fight quickly, if it alarms Yesujiang, or attracts confusion, it will not be able to eat and go around.
Scouts are the elite of the army, and most of them are served by veterans of the Wuwei Battalion and warriors of the Qiang Pawn.
Losing one is a huge loss for Yang Zheng now.
"No, I will lead 600 soldiers and 100 personal soldiers in front, and your 2,000 troops will be behind, if anyone attacks me, you will be in the back."
"As the main general, how can the general be in danger, and his subordinates should lead seven hundred Qiang soldiers in front!"
Yang Zheng laughed, "Isn't Zichan looking down on so-and-so?" On that day in Luogu, the Shu army was besieged, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the knives were like heavy mountains. The six hundred soldiers all have armor, holding swords and shields, and I have black light armor and Hua collar swords. Besides, if he can't see me, will he take action easily? If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger! ”
Seeing that what Yang Zheng said was reasonable, and quite resolute, Zhang Te stopped arguing, and hugged his fists and said: "General, be careful." ”
"It's okay!"
Can't beat Jiang Wei, can't you beat Oh He Yaoge?
The plan was decided, and Yang Zheng led 100 personal soldiers and 600 soldiers in front, and raised a banner of "Yang Duwei of Western Wei" in the formation.
Zhang Te did his best to set up the camp of the West River, and the Qiang people were behind.
The banner was made of only rags, and the characters were written in sheep's blood, crooked, and nondescript.
With Yang Zheng's current grade, he is not qualified to buy a tooth flag.
According to the Cao Wei military system, only miscellaneous generals are qualified to wave the flag.
But in order to attract Oh Ho to burn the ge, he had to do this.
The further south, the more rugged the terrain becomes, the ice and snow mountains and rocks block the road, the war horse is no longer possible, and Yang Zheng can only abandon the war horse.
The benefits of rigorous training were manifested at this time, and the army wore armor and carried swords and shields, and walked more than twenty miles on the rugged mountain road, without blushing or panting.
In the northwest, it was darker than before.
The whole day was calm, and I saw that I had found a shelter and set up camp.
After chewing the cold and hard dry food, the soldiers fell asleep without leaving their bodies.
In ancient wars, mastering geography and geographical advantages, basically half of the victories were won, and many roads were not taken by people at all.
The barren mountains and mountains are full of desolation from the ancient wilderness.
The mournful howls of wolves and the howling of the wind continued almost all night.
On the second day, as we progressed, enemy scouts loomed to the left and right.
Yang Zheng had to be careful, and every five miles he walked, he asked the soldiers to rest for half an hour to maintain their physical strength in case of accidents.
Flags hunt in the wind.
Until it was close to Mingyue Gorge, Oh He Yaoge still did not appear.
Yang Zheng was a little anxious and a little uneasy in his heart.
I took off my pants, and the other party always looked like a chaste martyr avoided it, which was not easy to do.
