Volume 2 The Journey to Nanhuai Chapter 101 Calculation
On the way back, the team of 3,000 cavalry lost their troops, and the atmosphere was depressed along the way, Yi Xiaodao quietly asked Li Dingxing: "Why is this Chu Xiang army's fighting style so shameless?" ”
Li Dingxing shook his head and explained: "It can't be said to be shameless, the fighting methods that can defeat the enemy are all good fighting methods, but the position of the enemy and us is not clear." Do you know that Ge Lihui, the first king of Chuxiang, relied on this style of play to drag down the Nanshu Kingdom in the south at that time with 10,000 troops, giving Qi Taizu and delaying time, Qi Taizu and the Great Jin Dynasty fought a decisive battle, and finally won the world! ”
"You're talking about the Battle of Xiangshui?" Yi Xiaodao asked, and was stunned after seeing Li Dingxing's affirmative answer.
The Battle of Xiangshui was a battle before the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, when Zhao Shijiu, the ancestor of Qi Taizu, was busy fighting a decisive battle with the Great Jin, but was attacked by Nanshu from behind, cutting off the waterway of the Xiangjiang River and robbing the grain road. It was Ge Lihui, the first king of Chuxiang, who took the initiative to ask for help, and only led 10,000 foot soldiers to resist the army of 200,000 Southern Shu, of course, he was not the king of Chuxiang at that time. 10,000 foot soldiers hurried day and night, and when they arrived at Xiangshui, 10,000 foot soldiers ran all over the place, and only more than 7,000 people remained. It is rumored that at that time, Ge Lihui's left and right persuaded Ge Lihui to abandon the army and run away.
Ge Lihui first killed the persuaded left and right generals, personally trained the soldiers, and in the first battle, he captured the vanguard generals of the Southern Shu State and the marshal of the Chinese army. The pioneers and marshals of the Southern Shu Kingdom changed several times in a row, but they were all beheaded or killed by Ge Lihui's Great Qi Army. After more than ten days of hard work, Ge Lihui killed four marshals and six pioneers in a row, and the Southern Shu State sighed and withdrew the army from Xiangshui. Later, in order to commemorate him, Qi Taizu gave Chu Xiang to Ge Lihui after the founding of the country, which has continued to this day. Because of the age, over time, the battle of Xiangshui has become a legend, and the authenticity can no longer be verified.
"Could it be that Ge Lihui, the first king of Chuxiang... Is this the way you played tonight? Yi Xiaodao asked.
Li Dingxing nodded and said, "Yes, stick to the time." However, as long as the opponent's commander or important person is found in the battle, the foot soldiers will surround it, surround the marshal or leader, and coerce them at will. Killing the generals as quickly as possible, the Ge family's tactics are a pure decapitation action. ”
"Isn't there a way to crack it?" Yi Xiaodao asked with a frown.
"If there is... The Ge family will not become the king of Chu Xiang anymore..."Li Dingxing said.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Li Dingxing looked at Li Yaoyang, who was silent all the way, this is not his style, Li Yaoyang will not be depressed even if he loses the battle, but enthusiastically tells others about his experience, in order to win next time. Today's Li Yaoyang is really a little abnormal, at least Li Dingxing can sense that he is very abnormal.
Li Yaoyang lifted the big gun in his hand, looked at the barrel of the gun and said, "If they found me and came up to surround me, it's nothing... But just now I went to look for you, Chu Xiangjun... How did you find out about the third uncle? ”
Yi Xiaodao guessed on the side: "Could it be that he suddenly encountered the enemy and the army's morale was in turmoil?" Li Sanye came out to stabilize the situation and was discovered? ”
Li Dingxing took over the words: "If it was the second uncle, he would do this, and if it was the fourth uncle, he would rush forward, but the third uncle... The character is a little soft... When encountering the enemy, he will never expose himself..."Li Dingxing talked about the third uncle Li Rongyi, and carefully used the words, after all, he was his own third uncle, and he loved him very much, but it was not good to expose his timid weakness in front of Yi Xiaodao, an outsider.
"In that case..."Yi Xiaodao glanced at Li Yaoyang, but he really didn't dare to say any more.
Li Yaoyang generously took Yi Xiaodao's words: "The Nanhuai Army has internal ghosts. ”
"Thank you for your trust, in my humble opinion, the inner ghost is not in the camp, but in the team." Yi Xiaodao thanked Li Yaoyang and swept towards the remaining horsemen behind him, the night was dark, and Yi Xiaodao couldn't see the horseman's face clearly, but he still wanted to take a look.
Li Dingxing asked Li Yaoyang: "Big brother, who came with you and the third uncle?" ”
"Jiang Ping, Han Wu, just the two of them." Li Yaoyang replied, as a person who practices martial arts, Li Yaoyang naturally noticed Yi Xiaodao's move of scanning the cavalry, and he didn't care. Li Yaoyang Li Dingxing was born in the Nanhuai Palace, and he has a kind of aristocratic thinking in his bones, and the defection and rebellion of these horsemen have no impact on them, and the two directly ignored the cavalry behind them, and directly thought of the famous generals in the army.
"Jiang Ping, Han Wu..."Li Dingxing silently read the names of the two, both of them are young generals, enlisted in the army with martial arts, and tonight the two went to rescue the third master Li Rongyi, both of them are indeed suspicious.
"Could it be Han Wu?" Yi Xiaodao followed the nomination of the two and said, "Jiang Ping was with us when he was attacked, and he couldn't identify the third master, if it was Han Wu, with the third master, it would be easy to identify..."
Li Dingxing quietly shook his head at Yi Xiaodao, Yi Xiaodao didn't know what to do, but the two got along for many days, but there was some tacit understanding, Yi Xiaodao stopped talking in time and didn't talk anymore.
The big gun in Li Yaoyang's hand creaked, reached out and groped behind his back, and pulled out a red cloth belt, the red cloth belt fluttered in the wind, and no one knew what he was thinking...
Without saying anything all the way, Li Yaoyang and the three of them quickly led the remnants of the defeated soldiers back to the camp.
"Come on, go and invite the second master and the fourth master, and discuss the big tent. Lord Yi, please go to the tent to rest first. Li Yaoyang ordered, and then said politely to Yi Xiaodao behind him.
Yi Xiaodao nodded and said, "Okay, it's indeed a little tired." If the eldest prince has something, call me at any time. Yi Xiaodao was polite, and led the tent with the soldiers on the side.
After Li Dingxing saw Yi Xiaodao leave, he came to Li Yaoyang's side and said, "After all, it's an uncle... Eldest brother... Think. ”
When Li Yaoyang heard Li Dingxing's words, he changed his gloomy face all the way, and said with a smile: "Big brother has his own measure, you can rest assured of this." Go wash yourself first, and see how dirty you are. ”
Li Dingxing saw Li Yaoyang's hearty smile, and for some reason, he was always a little uneasy today. Without further ado, he went with the soldiers to the camp tent on the side, washed and changed his clothes.
After a while, the second master Li Rong came to Li Yaoyang's handsome tent, wearing clothes and armor: "Yang'er, why did you come back?" ”
Li Yaoyang whispered to Li Rongcai: "Second uncle, you will know later, please take a seat." Li Rongcai was a little strange, but he knew that although his eldest nephew was a little reckless, he didn't have no brains at all, so he put on his clothes and sat down, waiting to see what Li Yaoyang meant.
"What's wrong? Yang'er, what's the matter at this late hour? Hey? What about the third brother? Didn't come back with you? "The fourth master Li Rongneng is wearing a battle armor and lifting the curtain of the big tent." Boom blah walked in and asked aloud.
"Fourth uncle, you haven't slept so late..."Li Yaoyang greeted.
The fourth master, Li Rongneng, patted his thigh: "Hey, how can you sleep here?" You guys just went out like this, let me and my second brother be in this tent, and make me anxious..."The fourth master Li Rongneng seemed to remember something, and the words behind him were stuck in his throat, and a little bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"What's going on... Fourth, you! The second master, Li Rongcai, was about to ask, but suddenly reacted, and looked at Li Rongneng in shock.
"Fourth uncle, why did you fornicate with Chu Xiang?" Li Yaoyang's voice was a little low, and he asked coldly.
The fourth master, Li Rongneng, quietly glanced at his second brother, and then glared at him: "Yang'er, what did you say?" I fornicated with Chu Xiang? If you have the courage to say it again! ”
"Tonight, my third uncle and I went to Lushan, preparing to make a detour to attack Chu Xiang, but we didn't want to be ambushed halfway. The third uncle was coerced away by Chu Xiangjun, and he was nowhere to be found, Jiang Ping and Han Wu had already chased him. Li Yaoyang told him about tonight's events, and the second master Li Rongcai's eyes widened, a little incredulous.
The fourth master, Li Rongneng, said hurriedly: "Then don't you go to save the third brother, what are you waiting for?" ”
"If you don't catch the inner ghost first, it's in vain to go to as many people as you want. Fourth uncle, what do you think? Li Yaoyang recognized that Li Rongneng was the inner ghost.
The second master, Li Rongcai, was apprehensive and said, "Yang'er, don't talk too much!" What evidence do you have to prove that the fourth child is an inner ghost? ”
Li Yaoyang slowly grabbed the saber on the table and walked to the middle of the camp, Li Rongneng took two steps back and looked at Li Yaoyang with a wary face. Li Yaoyang didn't care, and said: "Second uncle, you also heard it just now, first, I went out with the third uncle, I don't know when the return date is, but the fourth uncle is so anxious that he hasn't taken off his armor, does it mean that he knows that we will come back?" Second, Chu Xiang's killing tactics are also known to the two uncles, and the third master is so... A cautious person, even his robe and armor are the same as ordinary soldiers, but he is still surrounded by the Chu Xiang army and dragged away. If there is no one in the army to identify it, I think it will be difficult for the Chu Xiang army to do it..."
"Han Wu is the third uncle's general, and the third uncle accepts him as his righteous son and treats him as his own, while Jiang Ping is the fourth uncle's general, which is well known. In addition to Jiang Ping's identification, who else could it be? Li Yaoyang told the story, and Li Rongcai's heart trembled when he heard it, because Li Yaoyang told the truth and everyone knew it.
Li Rongcai slowly turned his head to look at Li Rongneng and asked, "Fourth, is it really you?" ”
Li Rongneng looked at the saber in Li Yaoyang's hand, slowly touched his hand to his waist, touched the hilt of the sword on his waist, calmed down a little, and scolded: "This stupid thing!" ”
At this time, the curtain was lifted again, and Li Dingxing walked in: "Jiang Ping is not stupid, but he didn't expect me to come here." ”
"Xing'er, why are you here? Didn't I hear that you were been..."Second Master Li Rongcai stood up and asked.
Li Dingxing saluted Li Rongcai: "Second uncle, I'm worried about you." I'm fine, I heard that the eldest brother led the army to conquer Chu Xiang, so I accompanied the way behind, and happened to see the eldest brother's cavalry heading north, so I chased after it, and accidentally fell into a swamp on the way, crying out for help, and the eldest brother led the army to rescue me. Unfortunately, Jiang Ping was sent by the third uncle to follow the eldest brother and left the third uncle. Presumably, a signal had been given that the operation could not be stopped, so troops were sent there. The third uncle and eldest brother must have been marked by you early in the morning, right? ”
In order to verify Li Dingxing's words, Li Yaoyang pulled out the red cloth belt in his arms and threw it on the ground.
"Calculate! Calculate! Net is calculation! It is in your hands that Nanhuai has become so weak today! It's rare for me to calculate once, but I still lose! It shouldn't be calculated! What's the use of calculating so much! Dad just didn't believe me! Li Rongneng took out his saber in his hand and slashed at the nearest Li Dingxing beside him.
Li Dingxing raised his head, the sword has arrived, and there is no way to avoid it!
