Chapter 744: The Fish Is Hooked
Boom –
Gao Yu swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and he suddenly found that he had walked to the edge of the cliff of life.
Why?
The main thing is that the middle-aged old man in front of him who can vaguely see the handsome face of his youth, said to him in an affectionate tone: "Jinxian, I know you can't do without me!" ”
"Yuanzhang, could you be mistaken?"
"No, I believe that feeling, he's coming!" Mi Fu's serious eyes and Su Shi have a comparison. Different from Su Shi's head iron, Mi Fu's personality is more timid. Admit his mistakes quickly, and know how to hug his thighs, it stands to reason that his achievements should not be the miserable appearance he is now, but who made him, like Su Shi, not recognize the situation clearly, and always stand in the wrong camp?
At the moment when Mi Fu was targeted, the fear in Gao Yu's heart almost completely crushed him.
Gao Yu wanted to jump up, pulled out the long knife on his waist, and slashed the thing to death.
Although he looks ordinary, has a rosacea, and is not young, he is not married yet, and the object of his search for a soulmate will definitely not be a man, and he is still an old man. Isn't this bad for his reputation and making him blocked in the Jiangmen matchmaking circle?
If this really continues, how can he get a good marriage?
Did you finally have to ask Hao Sui for help?
But who wants to ask a daughter-in-law for help from a eunuch, if this is spread out, he is high in the Keju realm of Kaifeng Mansion, oh no, it is in the gate, wouldn't it become a laughing stock?
Gao Yu thought that the consequences were so serious, and decisively refused: "Yuanzhang, I don't need you." No, it's that I don't have feelings for you, and it's not right......"
Gao Yu was going crazy, he found that under Mi Fu's ignorant eyes, he couldn't even speak.
Mi Fu frowned and begged: "Jinxian, if I have a way, I won't embarrass you." But isn't there no way around it? Renjie asked me to join the army, but you see I ...... now."
As he spoke, he lifted his robe and complained: "You see, in order to catch up with the speed of the march, the roots of my thighs are worn out, and they have just scabbed. If you follow the army at this time, you can only become a burden. ”
This is not a problem of thigh root wear, but Mi Fu is a little worried, a small injury will become a small life, how is this good?
He hasn't enjoyed enough of this great life, how can he give up easily?
Gao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, although a big man showed him a little spicy eyes at the root of the thigh, but fortunately, the misunderstanding was resolved, Mi Fu just showed his trauma very unreliable. But for Mi Fu, go to Li Kui to ask for someone, what if Li Kui has ulterior motives for Mi Fu? Didn't he break Li Kui's deployment by himself?
It's no wonder Gao Yu is worried.
Mi Fu regards Li Kui as a thigh, isn't Li Kui a tall thigh?
Following Li Kui, thrilling battles have not been encountered. The canyon resistance battle and the Jinmingzhai field battle are all thrilling battles that are so thrilling that the heart reaches the throat. But in the end, there was still no danger, although Gao Yu was injured for this, but he went from a small commander to the most elite Feilian Army commander in the Great Song Dynasty in just two or three years.
It's just lying down, and you win life.
What does Gao Yu have?
If you want to have an identity without an identity, you want a background without a background. Without Li Kui's support, he may not even have the opportunity to play football in front of the emperor.
Thinking of this, Gao Yu didn't dare to say anything, and muttered: "Yuanzhang, don't worry. It is not without benefits to follow the army, as long as Zhuozhou is laid, this sky-breaking credit is enough for you to be a Zhizhou. ”
Mi Fu moved his mouth, and his heart said: "If your life is gone, what do you want to do?" ”
In this regard, Mi Fu thinks very thoroughly.
As long as life is there, it is more important than anything else.
Besides, if other things are mixed up, he will make peace, but in the war, what can he do but add to the chaos?
Able to see through their own strength, Mi Fu is not lacking in wisdom. It's a pity that Gao Yu is a little flickering and unwilling to help, Mi Fu pondered for a while, and then thought of a possibility. Immediately bewitched: "Jinxian, as long as you help me this time, I will be rewarded." ”
Gao Yu was not shocked, and said in his heart: "What kind of reward do you have?" Do you really think of yourself as a person? "Especially Mi Fu's unreliable character, and Su Shi is extremely imaginative, otherwise they would not become close friends.
After Mi Fu observed the words, he thought that Gao Yu underestimated his ability. Although he couldn't assist Gao Yu, it was not useless. immediately patted his chest and said, "Jinxian, as long as you help me." I'll introduce you to a marriage. ”
Gao Yu's expression, which was indifferent before, suddenly became calm, and when he got closer, he glared at the beads of his eyes and said, "Really? ”
"How can this be fake?"
Gao Yu immediately thought of Mi Fu's comments, too scattered, in case he casually found a family affair, wouldn't it make him embarrassed? It's not that Gao Yu didn't have a chance to say that he was a daughter-in-law, but because of his background, Gao Yu didn't have the opportunity to catch up with the veteran's family, as long as he married the veteran's big family, he really crossed the threshold of the class.
Gao Yu asked: "Can you be casual?" ”
Mi Fu seemed to be humiliated, exaggeratedly pointed to the beam and said: "Jinxian, you go and ask my old Mi family, what is the identity of the court?" Our ancestor is a hero who followed Taizu and his old man to fight the world, if it is really the daughter of an ordinary family, can I introduce it to you? ”
When Gao Yu heard this, he immediately opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Cheng, I'll help you once." ”
The result of Gao Yu and Li Kui's communication was very easy, and Li Kui didn't want to take Mi Fu with him. It's just that this old acquaintance doesn't give much face, so he can't get off the stage. Since Gao Yu opened his mouth and talked about things with lifelong events, Li Kui agreed to Gao Yu's wishes. But the problem is how to arrange Mi Fu Gao Yu is also difficult.
He is likely to go to guard the pass next, the topography of Pingxingling is very important, and it can be said to be the gateway for the Liao State to enter the Hedong Road.
Once Pingxingling misses, it is equivalent to saying that the east gate of the entire Hedong Road has been opened.
Take Mi Fu to guard the pass, I'm afraid it's really inappropriate.
And let Mi Fu stay in the rear of the blind run, it is also unrealistic. Thinking about it, Gao Yu could only beg Li Kui to give Mi Fu something to do, don't let this one be idle. Li Kui thought for a while, touched his chin and said, "It's very close to Wutai here, right?" ”
"Daizhou is already in the territory of Wutai, what is not close, this is Wutai."
"In that case, let him go to Wenshu Monastery."
"Wenshu Monastery? Let Mi Yuanzhang become a monk, he will definitely not agree. ”
"Let him copy the Buddhist scriptures, and say that he is praying for the blessing of the army."
"Can this be done?"
"Why don't you just ask him?"
Gao Yu was suspicious, found Mi Fu, and told him that Li Kui asked him to go to Wenshu Monastery to copy Buddhist scriptures, which was considered to pray for the army. Unexpectedly, this move is scratching the itch of Mi Fu, he is good at writing and copying scriptures! Immediately agreed.
Not to mention that Mi Fu happily went up to Wutai Mountain under the protection of two soldiers, when Mi Yun received the news, the old man was almost angry. Lao Mi's family has never had such a shameless person.
After sending Mi Fu, the northern line camp held the most important meeting before the war.
Mi Yun is not the main general, and he is a newcomer, so he is not qualified to point fingers at all. Just listening to Li Kui's analysis of the battle situation. The defense area of Ninghua Military Prefecture. Speaking of which, it's nothing more than the north and the east. In particular, the direction of Zhuozhou to the east is the most important.
Mi Yun was a latecomer, and he naturally took over the responsibility of the defense of the northern front.
It is mainly responsible for the defense near Yanmen.
But after Mi Yun listened to it for a while, he began to worry, the two white eyebrows were crowded together, and the subordinate general Liu Fa behind him was even more solemn, and the atmosphere was very depressed for a while.
Li Kui glanced at Gao Yu and asked, "Do you have a better way?" ”
Gao Yu has been in the army for a long time, so he can naturally tell that the current situation must be for Song Jun to react. And the only army that could give the Liao army fear could only be the western defense line composed of the Feilian Army, the Praetorian Guard Army and the Ninghua Army. He thought about it for a while, and still tried to ask: "Can't we go out of Yanmen and threaten Shuozhou in Liao?" ”
"Yes, but it doesn't work much."
Li Kui pointed to Yutu and said: "Shuozhou, is my Huaxia Shuofang, although it has been my land of China since ancient times, but now it has been occupied by the Liao State for more than a hundred years. It belongs to the hometown of the sixteen states of Youyun. But after all, Shuofang stands out from the outside, and there are grasslands to the north and east. The danger of our army entering the steppe is too great, and there is almost a danger of total annihilation. As a result, eastward expansion became our only option. ”
"Isn't that self-defeating?"
Liu Fagang opened his mouth, but Mi Yun turned his head and reprimanded: "Adults speak, where is the reason to speak, retreat." ”
Li Kui waved his hand and said, "Liu Fa is also an acquaintance, let him sit down and talk!" ”
"Commander Xie! I don't dare to do it. Li Kui asked him to sit down, but he didn't dare. Although Liu Fa has a relatively straightforward personality and is easy to offend people, he can at least hear what kind words are.
Li Kui continued: "The reason why the troops entered Zhuozhou. Just like Shuozhou in the north, even if it is defeated, it is just a disease of scabies for the Liao State, because after defeating Shuozhou, without 50,000 cavalry, we still do not have the strength to enter the grassland. Therefore, the Liao State can completely ignore us and continue to encroach on Zhending Mansion. ”
"And if we can march into Zhuozhou, it will be different. This is tantamount to cutting off the back road of the Liao country's southward division. Even we don't need to really take Zhuozhou, but go south to Yi County in the south of Zhuozhou, which is enough to relieve the predicament of Zhendingfu. Even after my three-way army went north together, I fought a decisive battle with the Liao army on the edge of Yishui. ”
"This ...... I'm afraid it's not easy! Mi Yun worried: "Once it enters the winter, the Liao army in Yishui will come and go freely, and our army will be very passive. ”
"So, be quick, and before the Liao people react, knock down Yi Shui. Then send someone to hold on. ”
Li Kui glanced at the surrounding generals and said slowly: "Once Yixian is taken by our army, then the Liao army of Zhending Mansion going south will immediately retreat to the Liao border and form an encirclement of our army." I need a fierce general, with 3,000 warriors, at least to hold Yi County for a month, I don't know who of you has the courage to defend the city? ”
It was only at this moment that Li Kui said what he was thinking.
That's right, the Liao people just opened their big nets and waited for Li Kui to jump in. This situation is not difficult to see. But what if Li Kui takes the main force north to Zhuozhou and defeats Zhuozhou?
All the materials left by the Liao State in Tokyo Province will fall into Li Kui's hands. As long as the supplies are burned, the dream of the Liao army going south will be completely disillusioned.
Gao Yu opened his mouth, his heart was stirring, the most admired person in the army who was like a needle in the sea. The horizontal knife is immediate, like a hero, blocking the foreign enemy, not allowing it to step over the defensive line. But although such a person is beautiful, it is difficult to do it.
I'm afraid it won't be difficult for Li Kui to fight down in Yi County.
But to hold Yi County, you had to face the onslaught of nearly 50,000 Liao troops.
One month.
This torment, Gao Yu thought that he couldn't do it.
Gao Yu felt that in the army, I was afraid that only his infantry commander Lu Da could do it.
Luda just wanted to stand up and receive his order, but was stopped by Li Kui with a look. It's not that he hasn't considered Ruda, but Ruda's disadvantage is obvious, and Ruda has no experience in defending the city. At the same time, he also needs Ruda to lead the infantry to attack the city.
As for Hua Rong, who is eager to try, he actually has no bottom in his heart.
If he really didn't have prestige in the army, it would be too early to lead the troops to fight alone.
Mi Yun looked left and right, and lamented in his heart: "It seems that there is only an old man!" But when he was about to get up to receive the order, Liu Fa stood up, he knelt down on one knee in front of Li Kui, and said loudly: "I am willing to be the commander but I have no worries, and I will lead the troops to stick to Yi County." ”
"What do you want?"
In fact, Li Kui has been waiting for Liu Fa to stand up.
He was familiar with Liu Fa, a fierce general in the Western Army, and he had a wealth of combat experience. Especially the defense of the city. You must know that before Shaosheng, most of the battles of the Western Army were defending the city. The generals of the Western Army had a unique set of methods for defending the city. Since Liu Fa is one of the best, he must have his own unique side.
Liu Fa lowered his head and hugged his fists and said: "Three thousand people is too little, and five thousand people are required for humble positions." ”
"Not so many people give it to you, so I can only give you three thousand." It's not that Li Kui is stingy, but that the troops under his command are insufficient, and there are more than 30,000 horses when they are full. He still has to take nearly 20,000 horses with him, and there are very few people and horses left in Daizhou, and he really can't get enough soldiers and horses to allocate 5,000 to Liu Fa.
However, Liu Fa said: "Don't fly the elite of the Lian Army, it's enough for the 2,000 people who escaped from the Ninghua Army." ”
Ning Huajun is really rotten in his hands now, Li Kui doesn't dare to use it, and Gao Yu doesn't dare to use it.
As for Mi Yun, he is actually very worried. Such a group of soldiers and horses, if Liu Fa went to Shouyi County, he was afraid that Liu Fa would make trouble at that time. But Liu Fa said stubbornly: "Commander, there is a way to be ashamed and brave, and the two thousand people in the Ninghua Army are the best soldiers in the eyes of their humble positions." If they can come back, they must care about my Great Song. Now that he is burdened with infamy, it is the time to wash away the humiliation on his body, and fighting the hardest battle is the best way to wash away the humiliation on his body. ”
"You've decided?"
Li Kui sounded reasonable, but he still didn't feel at ease and said, "This is a military order?" ”
"The lowly is willing to guarantee with his life, and these two thousand people are fine. But ......"
Liu Fa said this, but hesitated.
Li Kui scolded loudly: "If you have something to say, you will be covered up." ”
Only then did Liu Fa muster up the courage to say: "Commander, it shouldn't be difficult for Yi County to hold on, but there is a confusion about the humble position, after Yi County was defeated, there were Han and Liao people." The Liao people are easy to deal with, but what about the Han people? ”
Li Kui naturally understands that the Han people here are not the Han people of the Central Plains. This is the Han people under the rule of the Liao, and the identity of these people is very sensitive.
Kill, you will lose the hearts of the people, and even the emperor will be unhappy. In particular, it will be targeted by civil officials. But if you keep it, these people are no different from the Liao people, and the nonsense of caring about the Great Song Dynasty is just a deception.
Li Kui gritted his teeth and said: "In order to prevent it from happening, this commander allows you to kill those with evil intentions first and then report them!" ”
Liu Fa was overjoyed and said: "Humble and orderly!" ”
The news of Li Kui's dispatch of troops, less than 100 miles after the 20,000 horses arrived outside Yi County, the scouts of the Liao State had already heard the news. Soon it reached Zhuozhou, and Zhuozhou reported the news to Yelu Hongji, the emperor of the Liao State who was sitting in Xijin Mansion.
When Yelu Hongji got the news, he immediately smiled at Brother Xiao Chang on the side: "This Li Kui is nothing more than that, I have a little trick, and he has to do what I want." ”
Brother Xiao Chang was unmoved, but he was pondering in his heart: "What if Li Kui sees the movement of the Liao army and jumps in knowing that it is a trap?" ”
Being deceived without knowing the truth is naturally beneficial to the Liao State. I am afraid that Li Kui knows that it is a trap, and insists on jumping down, which shows that Li Kui must have a reliance on his hands that they do not understand. Blind optimism is going to go wrong. But Brother Xiao Chang didn't dare to say these words. Although Yelu Hongji is old, his heart and eyes have not been big. If you are really scolded by your courtiers and lose your face, you will definitely be annoyed and angry.
Instead of this, he can only warn the Han Zirang stationed in Zhuozhou and let him be wary of Li Kui.
But Yelu Hongji stood in front of the map more than one person high, and he had the taste of pointing out the country, and he was excited: "If Li Kui sticks to it after defeating Yi County, I will come to a north-south attack, and 100,000 horses will gather, and he Li Kui will be difficult to fly even if he has wings; If he goes north to Zhuozhou, hahaha...... This is a self-defeating way, as long as I go south to block his retreat, I can only be trapped and die outside Zhuozhou City. ”
Xiao Changge said: "The minister immediately ordered Han Zirang to let his troops burn the city and withdraw from Yi County." ”
But this was very unpalatable to Yelu Hongji, and he turned his head and glared, "Why do you want to quit?" I can't quit, as long as Li Kui doesn't attack Yi County for a day, the army I left in Zhending Mansion will come back in a few days. And if Li Kui can't even defeat a small Yi County, he is not worthy of becoming a big trouble for my Liao State at all. ”
Brother Xiao Chang accompanied him and asked Yelu Hongji carefully: "Your Majesty, do you want Han Zirang to increase the defense of Yi County and increase the number of troops to 5,000 men." Two thousand is too little. ”
"No, what if Li Kui really can't beat it? Isn't my plan in vain? ”
Yelu Hongji was heartbroken for Li Kui, and he was afraid that the topic would be too difficult and trap Li Kui. I was afraid that Li Kui would see the flaw and let him use the bamboo basket to fetch water. Yelu Hongji struggled for a while before he teased: "Two thousand people are too many, what if Li Kui's siege casualties are too big and he doesn't attack Zhuozhou?" ”
He thought about it for a while, and secretly said to Brother Xiao Chang: "Leave five hundred people and leave the complete Yi County to Li Kui." ”
Brother Xiao Chang's whole person is a little messy, Your Majesty, Li Kui is an enemy, you still think about him, is this appropriate?
