Chapter 372: Escape at night, dead friends don't die poor

Wu Sangui is a young man, and he can't see the ambition of others like this.

Therefore, when I heard the words of my father and Zuo Liangyu, I was very angry in my heart, and muttered: What is the surprise, what the current affairs do, if I am in Liaodong, I will take Jiannu like killing chickens and dogs, compared to Wang Qi, not weak!

"What nonsense? If you are asked to guard the mountain customs, I am afraid that it will not surrender to the enemy, and you will be happy! When Wu Xiang heard his son's rebellious words, he was also angry for a while, and whipped and said: "Go back to the tent and beat the drum, and gather the generals to discuss matters!" ”

I didn't say that I went to Liaodong to kill the Manchu Qing Dynasty like slaughtering a dog, you are a milky child, what do you know about training to resist the enemy?

Moreover, Zuo Liangyu is on the side, you Wu Sangui said these words, how can you be Lao Tzu?

Praise you for your youthful genius? Or am I not as good as you?

Wu Sangui was scolded away, and Wu Xiang turned around and said, "Lord Zuo, the child is ignorant, please don't be surprised." ”

"Hehe, it's okay, I haven't been on the battlefield, I haven't experienced the scene of blood flowing and drifting, and the scene of blood and plasma piercing boots, it's okay to say these things," Zuo Liangyu won't be weird with a child like Wu Sangui, he has to think about how to go now!

Damn, be sorry!

He Zuo Liangyu was willing to lead the troops north, just because he thought that the north was empty and there were no heavy troops to guard it, so he wanted to take this opportunity to make meritorious deeds as soon as possible, and go back to Nanjing to mix with the general army of a province, so that he could sit big and watch the future, but now it seems that it is not like that!

Qin Erbao went south, why did Lu Xiangsheng suddenly appear here?

I have managed to save a little money for so many years, if I lose it here? Zuo Liangyu's intestines can be repentant.

"The fire is mostly a swamp, I look at it, then Lu Xiangsheng will not be able to cross the swamp and fight with me for a while," Wu Xiang saw that Zuo Liangyu's face was a little ugly, and said with relief: "Let's go back to the account first, gather all the generals to discuss together, and then make plans, how about it?" ”

"It's good, it's good!" Zuo Liangyu nodded violently when he heard this, and when he rode away, he looked back at the hazy army of Horizon Mountain in the distance, and his mind was already alive and couldn't settle down.

The weather in July has begun to warm up, and the daylight has gradually increased, so at the end of the Shen period, the sky is still bright.

In the temporary tents, all the generals were dull and silent.

After several days of traveling thousands of miles, and without much rest, I encountered an enemy of hellish level.

Lu Xiangsheng, who killed the Manchu Qing Dynasty and almost wiped out the species, took the light cavalry that he became famous to appear on the road that everyone must pass, and no one will be in a good mood.

And, more importantly, they didn't have much food, and their horses were almost hungry and had no food or grass.

And the soldiers under his hands, only half of the salary promised by Nanjing was issued, and the remaining half had to go back to receive it.

Now, can you go back?

"Guys, what should I do?" Wu Xiang licked his lips and felt that he should say something encouraging, but when it came to his lips, he couldn't say a word.

The situation is like this, how can you laugh about it?

"I can't beat it," a handful of Mu Mu said in the tent: "It's better . . . I don't know! ”

"Everyone, in fact, there is no need to be so alarmed," looking at everyone with beady eyes, Zuo Liangyu suddenly spoke: "The other party is a light cavalry, which has always been suitable for fighting on the plains, and what our army occupies is a large area of endless swampland!" It is impossible for war horses and heavy cavalry to fight us here, so their combat effectiveness is greatly discounted! ”

Tapping his fingers on the table, Zuo Liangyu's voice was low: "Everyone, now, you can't beat a head-to-head confrontation, why not take advantage of the other party's unstable foothold and attack at night!" Attack him unprepared, kill him by surprise! ”

There was demagogy in the tone of this general soldier, but it sounded so unreliable.

Night Raid?

Listen,

Is this what people say?

There's a big swamp ahead!

The other party is not good at attacking us, but wants us to step on the swamp to attack the other party?

Suspicious of life?

But this can't be said directly, so after Zuo Liangyu finished speaking, some of the people in the tent only coughed lightly, some pretended to agree, nodded more than once, and most of them were speechless with speechless eyes.

"This plan can be used as an alternative!" Wu Xiang finally spoke: "But we can't sit still, tonight is the key, I thought that as long as we survived tonight, we would go directly tomorrow morning and head towards Baoding Mansion in the west, where it intersects with Henan Province, and we can attack and retreat and defend, not only to get rid of the enemy army behind us, but also to find the plain to replenish the grain."

Well

To put it nicely, the biography is transferred.

If it's ugly, that's running!

However, there has to be someone to be a queen, right?

Wu Xiang touched his beard and looked at everyone: "Nanjing Zhugong, Ben will have some face, is there anyone willing to stand up behind the palace to contain him, Ben will be able to protect him as a general soldier of a big town!" ”

Silence, and silence,

Silence is tonight's theme.

"I am the deputy commander-in-chief, and I am the old commander of the north this time," I don't know for what reason, Zuo Liangyu, who has always been cunning and cunning, suddenly said after thinking for a while: "The affairs of the queen of the palace will be up to me!" ”

Hiss!!!

Loyalty to the country?

Even Wu Xiang was a little surprised.

Originally, if no one responded, he planned to lead the troops to the rear of the palace, after all, he couldn't beat and run directly, and the other party in the swamp couldn't catch up.

But now Zuo Liangyu took the initiative to speak.

It's the best of both worlds!

"Zuo Gong!"

In any case, Wu Xiang was a little moved.

At this time, the veteran is still reliable and knows that the overall situation is the most important.

"It's a matter of internal affairs, it doesn't need to be like this!" Zuo Liangyu waved his hand, indicating that Brother Wu Xiang, you are polite.

After a while, Wu Xiang, who was in the first position, still made a summary: "Then strengthen the defense tonight, and the camps will be connected to each other to patrol and defend, and you can't take it lightly!" ”

"In addition, Lord Zuo," Wu Xiang looked at Zuo Liangyu: "The scout camp under your command will be hard."

"Tonight, Zuo is personally in charge, if there is any trouble, he will take a step forward to warn your colleagues, we and the rebellious thief are incompatible!"

"Good, good!" Wu Xiang slapped his thigh, was in a good mood, and dismissed the generals: "Let's go back and prepare!" ”

The torches in the tent swayed, and the figures were scattered, leaving only Wu Xiang and Zuo Liangyu.

"Zuo Gong, I'll sit with you tonight," Wu Xiang felt a little embarrassed.

"There is no need for this, you still have to sit in the Chinese army, withdraw the army to the west tomorrow, and recuperate, you can go and prepare, just hand it over to the old man here!" Zuo Liangyu looks like a loyal and upright general who is ready to rest with the country.

"Please!"

Wu Xiang stood up and bowed.

"Everything has me!"

Zuo Liangyu also worshipped.

Not long after, Wu Xiang left.

————

It's night, and the night is dark and the wind is high.

On the opposite side of the burning lake, the big flag of Lu Zi was fluttering, and Lu Xiangsheng was sitting in the camp for the final pre-war deployment.

"Eight thousand infantry are left here," Lu Xiangsheng stood in the tent, pointed to the sand table in front of him and said: "Blocking the only road to the north, its more than 3,000 cavalry, carrying a small amount of dry food, people and horses, go out with me to fight, take advantage of the night to bypass this swamp, detour for a hundred miles, and go straight into the hinterland of the enemy!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng had already held back the fire in his belly!

Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed, he was ordered by the Duke of Qi to be pressed in Shenyang City and not to move.

Four months ago, Qin Erbao suddenly got an order to lead his army south, and two months ago, Cao Wenzhao led the army into North Korea and cleaned up the group of North Korean sticks.

The two of them are in the limelight, and they are left with their own idle birds!

Now, I've really waited for my chance!

What did this group of elites from Nanjing City do?

Lu Xiangsheng wanted to see if their armor was strong, or their blades were sharp!

As for the palace change?

Even if the Duke of Qi coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it was also the Mandate of Heaven of the Han family, and it was an internal matter of his own, Lu Xiangsheng did not object to Wang Qi doing something to the emperor - the prince would Xiangning have a kind of thing, and the Son of Heaven did it? Qi Guogong can't do it?

At the beginning, if the emperor wanted to reduce the authority of the Duke of Qi, he had to think clearly about whether he was the first year of junior high school, and whether others could do fifteen lines?

"Eight thousand people left?" The adjutant general in the tent was a little worried when he heard this: "My lord, we only brought 3,000 people to fight, isn't it a bit too much?" ”

"Night fighting, and I'm in the light, the enemy is in the dark, my 3,000 light cavalry is a little elite in the world, except for the heavy armored cavalry under Qin Erzi's hand, who can stop me?" Lu Yu sneered: "It's not that I look down on the group of quails in Nanjing, even if it's 3,000 against 30,000, tonight, I will still kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

As for why eight thousand infantry were left on standby?

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng was really afraid that the other party would not be able to beat him, so he took advantage of the night to cross the swamp and go north, but his cavalry was not easy to pursue;

After all, the order given to him by the chief lord was to block this group of 'elites' of Nanjing Qinwang from Gyeonggi and not let them be too presumptuous.

Lu Xiangsheng's hand can be regarded as a precaution against them jumping off the wall in a hurry.

"The rest don't need to be discussed, the order will go down, and prepare for battle in an hour!" Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand, causing all the generals under his command to disperse.

"The last general obeys!!"

The Liaodong Army was a stroke, which can be regarded as a feature, and the main general's voice is extremely heavy.

It is almost impossible for subordinates to have any suspicion about their own combat orders.

A little doubt and advice, yes!

But against?

Absolutely not!

Whether it is Qin Erbao, Lu Xiangsheng, or Cao Wenzhao, the three of them are all leading troops.

Of course, it may also be under Wang Qi.

At the beginning, Qi Guogong led them to fight the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, relying on a single-handed order to prohibit it.

At this time, the Nanjing Qinwang Army opposite the fire lake was also very busy at the moment.

Deputy General Soldier Zuo Liangyu paced in his tent with his hands behind his back.

After three laps, four laps, a few laps, it was as if I had finally made up my mind.

The next moment, Zuo Liangyu's face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Someone!" ”

There was a loud noise, and he entered with the tent.

"The last general!"

"Pass the order, all the scouts will be released!" Zuo Liangyu's expression was a little gloomy.

"My lord, are you trying to monitor the movements of the rebels in the north?" Ask questions in person.

"No!" Zuo Liangyu shook his head: "It's not the north, go south, find the most suitable route for withdrawing the army. After the midnight tonight, the old man expects Lu Xiangsheng to attack, and before the midnight, I need to take the first step to withdraw! ”

Withdraw troops first?

If Wu Xiang was here, I am afraid that he would have to scold Zuo Liangyu: After letting you lead the army, you will flee directly in the middle of the night?

"My lord, if you withdraw the army at this time, I am afraid that it will cause chaos in the camp" The entourage was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated.

"We were already stationed south of the camp, and we retreated quietly and silently at night, who knows? By the time they reacted, I would have already returned to the Dangmang Mountain area! Zuo Liangyu stretched out his hand and pointed to his entourage: "Quickly go and summon all the generals to come, and the old man will personally give orders and instructions."

"Yes!"

Whew.

The more the cold wind blows, although it is already the weather in July, but it is still warm and cold, and the cold wind does not know where it comes from at night. There is nowhere to hide.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is just past this time.

"All ready?" In the camp on the south side, Zuo Liangyu was dressed in dark armor, sitting at the top, and all the people who sat down were his confidants and generals over the years, and they were all people who knew the roots.

"The battalions have been prepared, just to prevent leakage, the camps are patrolling, and the advance scouts have not yet been recovered, and they need to wait until a moment before departure, and then take action," the adjutant sat on Zuo Liangyu's side and bowed back.

"Well, yes, try not to bring grain and forage, just carry light equipment, let's go south to Dangmang Mountain, think about Xiayi, have our own army, have heard clearly?"

"The last general will understand!"

"What time is it now?" Zuo Liangyu asked.

"It's just past the hour."

Pursing his lips, Zuo Liangyu took a deep breath, and his tiger eyes narrowed slightly: "Go, recall all the patrol soldiers, as well as the scouts!" The whole army is ready to withdraw! ”

As soon as the words fell, I only heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, which was very sudden.

"Who?"

For a while, everyone in the tent was shocked.

With a bang, someone fell from the chair.

At this time, if the news leaks out, it is a capital crime to run away timidly before the war!

"Your Excellency, it's the scout you sent out earlier that has returned!"

Someone outside the tent replied.

Call!

A false alarm.

"Bring it on," to be honest, even Zuo Liangyu was a little trembling.

There was a bang, and when the curtain was lifted, a cold wind blew in.

Suddenly the lights in the tent flickered, and ghosts appeared.

"Your Excellency!" The scout fell to his knees.

"Why are you so alarmed, riding your horse in the camp?" Zuo Liangyu was a little angry.

"Half an hour ago, I found that there were people and horses in Liaodong on the opposite side of Huoyaodian, and they went to the west, looking at the marching movement, it was to make a detour to the swamp and attack the camp at night!"

What?

In his first reaction when he heard the news, Zuo Liangyu stood up: The old man really expected things like a god, and he withdrew right!

At this time, all the generals in the tent were startled and made a mess.

"Quiet!" Zuo Liangyu waved his hand: "Act according to the original plan!" Even if the Liaodong Army is a light cavalry battle, it will take an hour to arrive in a roundabout, we don't need to panic, according to the original plan, we can withdraw at night! ”

"My lord, don't you want to inform the rest of the camp?" There are generals in the tent, and some can't bear it.

"Huh?" When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he hated that iron could not become steel, and only after a while did he say, "What's the notice?" If they were prepared and ran faster than us, wouldn't we really be the queen of the palace? In addition, the greater their losses, the greater the possibility that we will be valued and relied on, and the less likely we will be held by others when we return to Nanjing!! ”

Oooh!!

Hearing Zuo Liangyu's words, everyone suddenly realized.

This is the way to be an official! (End of chapter)
