Chapter 41: Mutation
Qin Sang touched a little, flew up to the treetops, and greeted him.
"Old Zhou, what's wrong?"
"General Qin!"
When the water monkey saw Qin Sang, his face was overjoyed, and he said loudly: "The last general has just received the news from the flying pigeon, and the admiral has an order to ask General Qin to immediately lead people to evacuate Guling Mountain, and return to Dazhai within a three-day period." ”
Qin Sang frowned when he heard this, "What is the reason? Do you want me to go back by myself, or do you want everyone to evacuate?"
The water monkey leaned over and took out a letter wrapped in oiled paper from his arms, "The letter said that the general should withdraw with everyone, without saying any reason." ”
Qin Sang took the letter, read it carefully, and sure enough, he ordered him to withdraw from Guling Mountain with all the scouts within two days, and the wording was much harsher than the tone of the water monkey.
Pinching the letter, Qin Sang looked at the barren mountains on all sides, his heart full of doubts.
Now that the king of Dongyang has taken Xitai County, all the armies have moved together to attack the three counties of the imperial capital, and the Xuanwei battalion has entered Guiyang County for two months, and has counted several cities, and now the goal is to cross the crow.
The mouth of the raven is actually a small city, which was originally a ferry of the Lingshui River, and then gradually developed.
The Lingshui River is the largest river in Guiyang County, from the northwest to the southeast, obliquely through the whole county, although it is not as wide as the Wuling River, it also flows endlessly all the year round, never dries up, and the marching and transporting grain are borrowed by the power of the Lingshui River.
Due to the convenience of the ferry, the largest granary of the defenders is now located at the mouth of the raven.
Take the mouth of the raven and cut off the Lingshui River, and the seven cities in the lower reaches of the Lingshui River will become a lonely city, which is equivalent to being cut off from the lifeline, and there is no other way than surrender.
Originally, it was impossible for the Xuanwei camp to do anything to the raven's mouth now, because there was a huge mountain range called Guling Mountain to the south of the raven's mouth.
If you want to hit the Raven Pass, you must cross the Guling Mountain.
Guling Mountain is steep, the jungle is dense, and it is uninhabited, and it is said that birds cannot fly over.
Except for the hunters who go into the mountains to hunt, ordinary people who go in will definitely lose their way and will not be able to get out of it if they die, let alone the army.
According to the original plan, they were going to go east for hundreds of miles, make a bend from Guling Pass, and then fight through the seven cities from the lower reaches of the Lingshui River, city by city.
At this time, Guling Pass had already displayed heavy troops and was ready for battle, so fighting would not only take time, but also inevitably cause heavy casualties.
A few days ago, when the Xuanwei battalion captured the small city in front of Guling Mountain, Qin Sang heard a news from an old man who had been a hunter in Guling Mountain, there was an ancient road in Guling Mountain, and the local legend was dug by the founding emperor of the previous dynasty when he marched, and then it was abandoned, and it has been nearly a thousand years ago, and few people know it.
Qin Sang reported the information of the ancient road, and then was ordered to take the scouts into the ancient spirit mountain to investigate, just came in, scattered the scouts, and was about to be called back.
The letter is signed with the seal of the handsome, and this letter is a military order.
Wu Chuanzong, who stayed in Dazhai, did not send news in advance, and it was likely that it was a sudden decision made by the top management of the Xuanwei Battalion.
The water monkey saw that Qin Sang's face was difficult, and he also knew that gathering all the scattered scouts could not be done in a day or two, "General, what now?"
Qin Sang thought for a while and said, "Old Zhou, you now summon Zheng Kun and Zhang Wenkui, and all the hands will be handed over to the two of them to be dispatched, stay in Guling Mountain, continue to look for the ancient road, and you and I will go back to Dazhai together." ”
"Yes!"
......
The rain poured down, the two did not rest all night, went out of the Guling Mountain and rode on the horse, and rushed back to Dazhai the next day.
Outside Dazhai, Qin Sang felt that something was wrong, there was a different atmosphere of slaughter in the military village, and the patrols were much stricter than before.
The two of them were in the dust, Qin Sang changed into armor, and was about to go to the camp to find Wu Chuanzong first, but found that Wu Chuanzong was waiting for him outside.
"Sir, Vice General Feng personally came to me and asked you to meet him as soon as you return to Dazhai. ”
Qin Sang nodded and asked, "Have you found out what happened?"
Wu Chuanzong said ashamedly: "Chuanzong is incompetent, the Chinese army camp was suddenly closed late the night before yesterday, and there were heavy guards for twelve hours, without orders, no one was allowed to approach, otherwise it would be killed." The sect searched around, but never got accurate information. ”
Qin Sang noticed that Wu Chuanzong's face was haggard, with dark circles in his eyes, and knew that he had also tried his best, if anything happened to the Chinese army, it was not something that Wu Chuanzong could know, so he patted him on the shoulder and reassured: "It's not your fault, let's go rest first, I'll go find Vice General Feng." ”
Walking in the camp, Qin Sang looked at the soldiers one after another, secretly strange, and a little hesitant.
He didn't get a summons from the county lord, so it shouldn't be a problem in the rear.
However, even if there is a mutiny in the Chinese military camp, there is still a lot of danger.
Qin Sang was no longer a mortal, but if he faced hundreds of crossbows, he could only close his eyes, and his death would definitely be miserable.
When he was about to arrive at the camp of the Chinese army, Qin Sang hesitated, secretly summoned the king of Hades, covered a wisp of divine consciousness on the king of Hades, and sneaked into the camp.
Hades quietly swept through the camp, there was no imaginary murderous scene in it, and then led Hades to Vice General Feng's military tent.
Vice General Feng was in the tent, and there were no swords and axes around to ambush, so Qin Sang was relieved.
At this time, he had already walked to the door of the Chinese military camp, took out his waist card, and with his respect as a general, he even had to inform Vice General Feng before he could be allowed to go.
"The last general will see General Feng!"
Seeing Vice General Feng coming over from a distance, Qin Sang immediately saluted.
"Brother Qin!"
Vice General Feng took a few steps and hugged Qin Sang, looking a little anxious, "You're finally back, come with me!"
The two walked into Vice General Feng's tent with their arms, and Vice General Feng looked out cautiously before he said an astonishing news in a low voice, "Lord Admiral suddenly fell seriously ill and fell into a coma, and now he is in danger, I'm afraid he won't be able to last for a few days!"
Qin Sang 'ah', with a look of surprise, the two admirals of the Xuanwei battalion, Wang Liu is just the right admiral, and the left admiral is the real general in charge of the army, this person is familiar with the art of war, marching methodically, and strict military discipline.
Admiral Zuo is a confidant of the king of Dongyang, and he is only loyal to the prince, and anyone is only allowed to discuss military aircraft in front of him, and he also has a non-helpful attitude towards the dispute between the prince and the county lord.
With his suppression, Wang Liu did not dare to act indiscriminately and use tricks to deal with Qin Sang.
Qin Sang took out the military order, "The letter I only got yesterday, who is using the handsome seal?"
Vice General Feng said with an annoyed expression: "Before Lord Admiral fell into a coma, the general's affairs were entrusted to Wang Liu, including Shuai Yin and Tiger Fu...... It's all for him!"
Qin Sang was silent.
Now that the situation is quite clear, it is only a matter of time before the king of Dongyang ascends to the throne, and now there are already people in the small court talking about the prince.
For the position of the crown prince, in addition to the prince, the county lord is qualified to compete.
But since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for Si Chen, and it is conceivable that these people will stand over there.
When he was in Hening County, the Black Crane Zhenren secretly made peace with the prince.
When Admiral Zuo was dying, it was normal to hand over the military power to Wang Liu, show goodwill to the prince, and help future generations form a good fate.
