Chapter 340: The Battle of Xiaoguan (2)

This opportunity came at a good time, not sooner or later, just right. Yang Su had made up his mind to use a surprise attack to break through the small pass no matter what.

When he was summoning his subordinates to discuss the general strategy, Yang Su received a battle report, and two quarters of an hour ago, the sentry cavalry found a large number of troops transporting salt and grain and rice coming out of Luoyang and heading towards Xiaoguan......

All the generals were stunned, feeling ridiculous, sitting in place and not knowing what to say, Yang Su's face suddenly changed, as if there was a connection with some joints, and hurriedly slapped the case, and asked, "Can you cut it all off?" ”

The sentry said, "Not all of them...... There were hundreds of people in this Zhou army transporting salt, and we suddenly killed them, although we caught them off guard, but we also made them run a few people. ”

Yang Su angrily slapped the handsome case and shouted: "What are you doing, this little thing can't be done?!" The sentry cavalry who came to report was lowering their heads, not daring to make a sound, Yang Su had a gloomy face, turned around in place a few times, and ordered:

"It's going to get dark soon, but there's only one way to get to Xiaoguan...... Huling Pass is still not a short distance from Xiaoguan, and the road is really narrow and rugged, they will definitely not be able to run far, and they will not stop in the middle of the road, I don't care if you run with horses or legs, and the rest of the weeks to ride, you just run and break your legs, and you have to tie me back! ”

Right now? The sentry riders all had bitter mouths, who didn't know that Xiaoguan's road was notoriously difficult to walk? There are many mountains, many rivers, and the road is even more famous sheep's intestine trail, every time the sentinel rides out to perform a mission, there will be one or two inexplicable falls to death, not to mention going out at night, how easy is it to pursue and arrest people?

However, the order is greater than the sky, and those who have the heart to refute also consciously stop their mouths after seeing the cold killing intent in Yang Su's eyes, otherwise when the steel knife is approaching, they will know whether it is fast or not.

So they all hurriedly received the general's orders, hurriedly mounted their horses, and chased in the direction of the Zhou army running two quarters of an hour ago...... Yang Su did not order the generals to disband, but sat in the tent and waited.

The generals didn't understand what the general had planned, and they didn't even hold a meeting, so they led this group of people to sit here?

But the contact has been for a while, this General Yang is really capable, and he is indeed very temperamental, and the people present did not dare to touch the mold, so no one dared to ask, so he sat with him until midnight, and when everyone was a little sleepy, there was finally movement outside the tent!

A dozen sentinels came in with the curtain open, and put a few bound men on the ground like pigs and sheep, and said:

"General, our men chased them in the middle of the night and caught them five miles from Xiaoguan, seven people, one not more, one not less, and one of them joined the army...... This time, we caught a fat fish. ”

Yang Su's gaze skimmed over them, staring at the man who was writhing like a worm, this man's clothes were scattered and loose, his hair was loose, several strands of hair covered half of his face, and his eyes showed a look of horror...... In the blink of an eye, he saw the angry faces of the sentry riders, and thought that he was desperate when he fled in order to avoid the pursuit of the sentry riders.

Looking at the service, it should be right to join the army...... Yang Su ordered someone to take off the rag from his mouth and asked directly, "Who are you?" Where are you going to transport all this salt? Yang Su was not polite at all.

The soldier was frightened, and when he saw so many strong men surrounded him, he was scared to death, and he didn't care if he could say it neatly, so he went out with all the details:

"Little ...... The villain Zhang Menglun, who is currently in the army, wants me to transport salt into Xiaoguan, not to be an enemy of the general! As he spoke, his teeth chattered.

Yang Su patted his head and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, he was once a Zhou person, but he forgot about this crucial stubble! What is Yiguan? It is true that the lock and key of the Zhou State are true, but it is the only way for Hedong and Henan to transport salt to and fro!

Hedong has been a salt-producing land since ancient times, especially after the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi made a strict blockade of each other, the dependence of the Northern Zhou on Hedong salt production has been greatly improved, and it is very normal to transport salt and grain back and forth!

Recently, no trace of them has been found, and I think it is because Zhou Guo is cautious and would rather wait and see. However, the Qi army did not move for so many days, and in order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, many deployments were withdrawn, so that the Zhou side relaxed and resumed salt transportation.

That's a ...... God help me! Yang Su hated to look up to the sky and laughed, but in order to maintain a dignified image in his subordinates, he had to hold back. He asked in a muffled voice, "So, you can come and go freely in and out of Xiaoguan?" ”

When poor Zhang Senjun saw Yang Su's strange expression, he hurriedly said, "Count...... Sort of, but they will have someone to come out to inspect it first, and if the goods are not right, or if there is no paperwork, they will not be allowed to enter the customs......" He probably guessed a little Yang Su asked what he wanted to do, and his voice gradually weakened. Yang Su asked again: "Then you didn't lose your paperwork, right?" ”

"No...... No, on me," Zhang Senjun thought that Yang Su was going to kill him, and there was a little crying in his tone, "The general doesn't want to harm me, I have been back and forth to Xiaoguan many times, and the defenders and General Yuan on the pass all recognize me, and the general killed me, even if he took the paperwork, he would never open the door." "Say the hardest words in the most cowardly tone. If he wasn't still tied with a rope, this guy might be able to hug Yang Su's thigh and cry.

"......" Yang Su resisted the urge to kick out, personally untied him, helped him up, patted him on the shoulder, and said amiably: "Don't be afraid, I promise not to move you a single hair, not only that, as long as you are willing to do me a favor and take us to Xiaoguan as people who pretend to be transporting salt, I guarantee that you will come to our Qi country and be knighted as an official, how about it?" ”

In fact, the official system of Northern Qi is very strict now, and Yang Su can't give him any guarantees, but he doesn't want money to brag about it. Since then, he has been messing with Gao Yanzong for a long time, and he has found that shamelessness also has the benefit of shamelessness.

If this Meng Lun dares not to know what is good or bad, then don't blame him for turning his face and not recognizing people! Yang Su sneered in his heart. After Yang Su proposed, this person didn't even think about it, wiped away his tears, and said, "When are we leaving?" ”

“……”

Zhang Shenjun looked at Yang Su with wide eyes and hope, the tent was quiet, and for a moment Yang Su began to wonder if this goods were sent by Zhou Jun to lure him into being fooled.

Why are the bones so soft? Why are you so uncompetitive? You have a few hard words, let's coerce a few times and then talk about hugging your thighs, okay? Not only is this decent, but the big guy also has a sense of accomplishment!

Only today did I know that in the shameless industry, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River that push the front waves, and a mountain is more high! At this moment, his heart was as uncomfortable as swallowing a mouthful of phlegm, he took a deep breath, forcibly pulled out a smiling face, asked some details, and then asked people to take it down to eat and drink to say hello......

The generals looked at each other, thinking that it would be a mistake for them to believe in such a heartless guy...... A general said bluntly: "General, is it true that there is no other way to open the city gate by this trickery?" ”

Yang Su also hesitated in his heart, and after a while, he said, "Yes, attack." Use human lives to pile up and take down Xiaoguan...... But how many troops can we transfer? Not even five or six thousand! How many soldiers and horses are there in Yuanjingshan? There are four or five thousand! The military strength of the two sides is equal.

"The art of war is cloudy, ten rules surround it, if it is a place like Xiaoguan, if you want to attack only twenty times the number of soldiers and horses are not enough to consume, so you can only outwit, not force!"

"Besides, Yuan Jingshan can't be said to be a complete anointed child," Yang Su frowned and said, "You also know these days, he has a very methodical layout of defense, and he is not incompetent.

"Two ways, either lure him to battle, and come to a field battle to bury the main force of Xiaoguan! Or you can only disguise yourself as a salt-carrying team to blend in...... Since it can't be forced, Yuan Jingshan obviously won't fight, and we don't have a better way than this road. ”

Yang Su was really forced to have no way, the idea was from him, and letting him gnaw this hard bone was also a manifestation of his importance...... But Yang Su also knew that at this time, the army of the imperial court might have been pushed under Tongguan, and the real military exploits were there!

If you talk about Yuan Jing'an, Yang Su actually doesn't take it very seriously, in Yang Su's opinion, this is just a slightly capable anointing child, named General Zhuguo, in fact, he only has such a prominent position by birth, when he conquered Tuyuhun and Bishan War, he followed behind other people's butts to pick up leaks, Yang Su was arrogant, how could he look down on him?

If there is no time limit, Yang is sure that he can defeat him head-on, but time is running out for no one. He knew very well in his heart that the 400,000 troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty were conscripted, and the plan was so strict, if this was the battle to destroy the country, if he wanted to share a military merit in Tongguan, he had to solve Yuanjingshan as soon as possible, otherwise when the people were full of meat, Yang Su rushed over again, and he didn't even have a mouthful of soup to drink!

Before dawn, Yang Su sent them out, and a foot horse was far behind, keeping a certain distance.

Up and down the grain transport team, except for one Zhang Menglun, the rest of the people have changed into Qi troops, at this moment they are all pretending to be Zhou Jun and Minfu, pushing ox carts, and walking hard through the valley, until the evening can see the shadow of Xiaoguan in the distance...... Xiaoguan itself is not very majestic, but it has its own adventures due to the lofty mountains and mountains, making it a Jedi.

The castle tower is lit up, and rows of shadows with Goho bows can be seen. Zhang Shenjun secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The sergeant on the small pass also discovered them, and hurriedly summoned the official who was on duty, and everyone was shocked, looked down vigilantly, and asked, "Who is coming?!" ”

Zhang Menglun shouted in his voice: "General Li Lang, I-I'm Zhang Menglun!" I'm here with salt and grain! ”
