Chapter 1353: The prosperous era is over, and the troubled times are back
After Yan Junyin's death, he was instantly drowned in the rolling torrent of the Kaixi Northern Expedition, and everyone, regardless of position, was forced to put away their feelings and accept the smoke of gunpowder, iron horses, and swords and guns.
Following the defeat of Liu Duo in the Battle of Dongkegu on April 14, Wu Xi's soldiers and horses were defeated in the attack on Laiyuan Town.
It was impossible for the Anti-Gold Alliance to be unrelated to itself, but it was refused to cooperate from the beginning, and the officers and soldiers were eager to make meritorious contributions, and the heroes fully understood, so they had to exclude themselves.
On the surface, he can't ignore it, Du Bilin, Mu Qi's salary, and Yang Miaozhen beside Lin Qian all went to help as soon as possible, and Mo Fei, Sun Jixiao, and He Pinzhang also immediately supported from all over Longyou.
Defeated again and again, the division is unfavorable, in such a situation, the officers and soldiers can no longer be arrogant and stupid enough to refuse the rescue of the righteous army, and there is no deep hatred and hatred, but they don't like each other.
After a little cooperation, the relationship between the official army and the righteous army has improved to some extent, but Xue Jiuling, the general of Wu Xi's department, still pleaded with Lin Qian: "Please give me another chance to prove the ability of my command." ”
Lin Qian, who was far away in Huanqing, agreed to let go after weighing it, but he could make the golden generals such as Gao Qi, the magic tiger who held his breath and condensed, happy.
Unsurprisingly, the Southern Song Dynasty army suffered heavy losses for the third time during the attack on Lanjialing. Gao Qi, the Shuhu who led the Jin army there, seized the opportunity to immediately counterattack and attack, and pursued the victory for more than ten miles, not to mention, and pushed the battle line directly forward to Zhushan, and swept Du Bi's neighbors with the momentum of victory, and pointed directly at Shumen, Qishou, and Daoxiang.
Reports of defeat frequently spread to Lin Qian's case. Seeing that Du Bilin was affected by Xue Jiuling and was unexpectedly defeated, Mu Qixin Yang Miaozhen had cold lips and teeth, and Tong Feifei brothers were even more skinless, and within one day, the four strongholds of Tietangxia were in danger. The Song generals who were closest to them and were the easiest to mobilize, one was Mo Fei in the allied army, and the other was Li Gui in the official army.
"Since the defeat of Dugu in the Barren Mountain, Huang Hego has been stationing the remnants of the army in the east of Tietang Gorge, in order to wait for the opportunity and connect with the Shuhu Gao Qi in the west. He was really scheming, and he had already seen where I would come from and who I would transfer, and as soon as I left Li Gui's army, he sent Yi Ra Pua to seal the road. I can't get through it in the short term if I have reinforcements. When this kind of fire burned his eyebrows, he didn't see Lin Qian frowning.
Yin'er was a little puzzled, turned her face to look at Bai Qingzhou, and the military advisor was not flustered, nodding lightly: "Liu Duo and Shuhu Gao Qi in the west, one can survive the desperate situation alone, the other integrates the defeated army into an elite, Liu Duo is smart and strong, Shuhu Gao Qi is good at commanding, and there is an unstoppable Hui Hai by his side...... Although it was a small battle, it was a complete rival, so it was no wonder that it was a stalemate. ”
"That'...... How to fight?" Yin'er watched them analyze the situation and praise the enemy, and there was nothing left, so she couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"Wait for me to taste the tea first. Lin Qian took a sip of the cup, and suddenly coughed involuntarily.
Yin'er fox suspiciously stepped forward and turned around twice, found that it was wine at all, his face was dark, he snorted and snatched it, turned around and splashed out of the tent: "Don't die!"
The little prince passed away unexpectedly, she was worried about Sixue, but because Jin Song couldn't leave at all in the fierce battle in Huanqing, it was inevitable that she would be depressed; she had just charged back to the camp and saw Lin Qian so disobedient, and she was still injured and stole wine and drink, which made her even more angry; at the same time, when she heard that the official army had been defeated repeatedly and couldn't support the wall, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
"Yin'er, don't worry...... Believe Wu Xi, no one is born to fight, and no one is a lifelong failure. His words were always like a good rain to sweep away the stuffiness when she was anxious.
"Okay. Yin'er turned around, his anger subsided slightly, and smiled, "Then you can drink a little more." I'll take it personally...... By the way, where is the wine?" she also knew that he was not in a very good mood, and his most cherished opponent was so confused that he was not defeated on the battlefield at all, and even he couldn't escape responsibility, of course, he had to use wine to kill his sorrows.
"Lord, someone from Sichuan and Shu. At this time, Thirteen Wings brought Chen Caiyi to ask for a meeting, Yin'er's expression changed, and Lin Qian also stood up directly: "He?"
"Just settled in, in the ...... I'm waiting for my lord to go. Chen Caiyi's face was embarrassed.
It's not arrogant and rude, it's not rebellious, it's that I don't know Lin Qian's attitude, so I tempted, or hesitated.
Yin'er actually understood Song Heng's psychology, but she still felt that it would damage Lin Qian's face, and she was about to speak, but she saw that Lin Qian did not hesitate and walked with Chen Caiyi: "Take me to see him." ”
Return to the battlefield.
The last time I was coerced by martial arts hegemony, I am afraid it can be traced back to the first year of Jiatai, quelling the rebellion in Longzhou and killing the enemy in Xingzhou......
It's too long, it's like a world away.
Song Heng stood in the tent where he temporarily stayed, with mixed feelings. Looking around, I wonder who this barracks belongs to? Maybe he was just an ordinary general, but he also hung two bows, no dust on the weapon rack, and a map hanging in the corner.
He thought he was not in the mood to pay attention, but he still couldn't help but move closer, and there were several key passes on the map, including Laiyuan Town, Dongkegu, Zhushan, Shumen, Qishou and Lanjialing.
On the way north, he has always been immersed in the apprehension of Lin Qian, forcing himself to use his former blood to drown the private affairs of his children, but now, his eyes just lightly wiped the word "Lan", his heart sank, his head was blank, and he stared at it for a long time.
I don't even know when Lin Qian was standing behind him: "Song Heng, you're here." Immediately afterwards, there was an apology that he had been too late for too long but he never dared to ask for: "I'm sorry." ”
Song Heng's soul possessed his body, turned around with tears in his eyes, and listened to Lin Qian's sincere and sincere apology: "That day in Chencangbian Town, I went mad and lost my speech for a while, hurting you. ”
His mind moved, and he originally imagined that if the lord bowed his head, he would definitely shake his head and forgive generously, but at this moment, Lan Shan's voice and smile were interspersed in his mind, "That's right, he spit out the truth after drinking, but he drank poisonous wine and vomited blood." Indulging in memories, he suddenly froze in place, unable to say a word, as if he didn't accept Lin Qian's apology.
It wasn't until Chen Caiyi pulled his sleeve that he came to his senses and avoided Lin Qian's gaze awkwardly: "No, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry for the comfort of the lord and Tianjiao, I am willing to fall, and I ...... Funk. ”
"I'm not comforting with Tianjiao. At the beginning, I wanted you to stay in the Short Knife Valley, precisely because of your connections in the official army and the tacit understanding with Tianjiao over the years. No one is better than you in that position, so it's not a consolation. Lin Qian immediately heard what he said about comfort.
"Isn't it because I'm not capable enough and too reckless that I can't charge into battle?" he wanted to cry with relief, "Then the lord thinks, can I still defend the key pass or attack the city as I am now?"
"No, you can't. Lin Qian was blunt and would never lie to him because he was miserable. Lin Qian really didn't expect that when he saw Song Heng again, Song Heng was like a withered tree, and he was still wandering out of the world when he said two words.
"Song Heng has always been in such a state of mind in this life. There will be no more time when the blood is boiling, it is better to go into hiding......" Song Heng was directly denied and gloomy again.
"If you don't get enthusiastic, you can't realize your ambitions?" Song Heng, you're wrong. The ideals that can be achieved by guarding the key passes and attacking the city can be relegated to the second line, even if it is the last position, but you have divided these too clearly and too far, and you have simply discharged 369 and so on. Lin Qian shook his head, and while whispering persuasion, he pressed his shoulder.
Song Heng was startled and raised his head: "What the lord said is true." I've been obsessed with it all these years, but I can't get it, and if I don't care, it's nothing?"
"Yes, Fan Daxia opened a tea shop, Dr. Yi healed, Yu Zexue took care, no identity, dare not forget the national worries, all are the heart of serving the country, not intense, but resolute, if there is no ideal, who is willing to give up stability. Even if I am disabled and unable to move in the future, as long as my heart is still beating, I will write some battle papers, and I will still be able to contribute to the defense of my home and country. Lin Qian said.
"Lord-in-law......" Song Heng showed a hint of a smile at this time, "Lord-in-law will not be like that." ”
"Cheer up, Song Heng, make up for the regret of Song Daxia and helping the world, and the hanging pot that Lanshan has never completed to help the world - Wu Xi, I am short of manpower and need your dedication. Lin Qian's talk of Lanshan made his heart tremble again, and sadness came from it.
Lin Qian realized that Lanshan was the source of his distraction, and he couldn't get rid of it in the short term, so he didn't mention it again: "The way you look now, you are distracted, depressed, and it is unlikely that you will be the coach." But if you are willing to have a correct attitude, even if you start by supervising the transportation of grain and grass, to provide Wu Xi with military supplies, step by step, down-to-earth, I believe you can get back to your heart. ”
Knowing that he was entangled in fame, he transferred him to the front line, but became a non-coach, just to let him experience that fame is not as good as reality, and both offense and defense are great tasks. Chen Caiyi thought, the lord was really well-intentioned, turned around, looked at Song Heng and thought for a moment and nodded: "I...... Try it first, and you may not be able to do it well. Said reluctantly, but in the end was knocked on the door of her heart, Chen Caiyi's heart warmed, sure enough, the bell must be tied to the bell, these days she has taken great pains to match Lin Qian's short side.
"Lord, I'm coming back alive to see you, that Chen Zhu doesn't know what kind of fierce medicine he ate, and he beat me, and he ...... a fart" A familiar voice came from outside the tent, it was Zhu Meng who ran to Lin Qian to complain.
"I'll go to Longyou first...... Take office. Although Song Heng promised to have a correct attitude, he did lose his enthusiasm, and when he saw Zhu Mengwei's expressionless face, he left without bowing his head when he greeted him.
"Eh, Lord Song Castle, ......?" Zhu Meng saw that Song Heng was going out, so he hurriedly stepped back and took a step away.
"One step at a time. Lin Qian only felt that it was appropriate to have a conversation, Song Heng was much more restrained than usual, but his temper was indescribably strange, he sighed, patted Zhu Meng's buttocks, and went away with the drinking and hating knife, "Chen Zhu's side, I will fight in person." ”
Huanqing fire, Longyou's drums are also shocking.
"The soldiers are fast, time is not waiting for me!" Under the good situation of Liu Duo dragging Mo Fei, moving Pu A to clamp Li Gui, and returning to the sea to defeat Du Bilin, Shuhu Gao Qi and Huang He went to the east and west of the Jin army to do their best to seize Tietang Gorge.
Previously, Shuhu Gao Qi and others desperately returned to Wushan, just to gain a place in Longyou, and Hou Chu Fengliu recaptured Tietang Gorge to meet with it. In the past few days, the Shuhu Gao Qi has been boosting morale with "meeting with the main force", and now is the moment when he has seen the light of day - when Lin Qian is forced to delegate power under pressure, and the surrounding Song bandits are all planned in advance, the Jin army can take advantage of the defeat of Wu Xi's soldiers and horses, and lock in the victory while the Song army has not yet arrived, who taught Lin Qian's most of the strong generals are in Huanqing Pingliang and Fengxiang?
I have to say that if the Shuhu Gao Qi endures for a while, he may really realize his long-cherished wish.
It's a pity that this night, Huang He went to send troops halfway and suddenly encountered an accident and the soldiers and horses were chaotic, and he failed to participate in the battle in time. At the time of the pinch attack agreed in advance, only the Shuhu Gao Qi came to fight Tietang Gorge.
"What, how could there be an accident with General Huang?" Shuhu Gao Qi was shocked when he heard the news, and almost picked up the messenger.
"The landslide is blocked, and you have to take a detour......"
"It's just a detour, why is it messing up? It happened to General Huang, it's incredible!" "It's the old department of Lord Dongfang, and it's somehow uncontrollable, but Lord Shuhu can rest assured, General Huang is integrating ......"
When the soldiers approached the city, how could they retreat without a fight? Not to mention that it was too late for the messenger to report, and the battle had already been launched as agreed, so the Shuhu Gao Qi could only continue to attack with a hard head.
However, Mu Qixin and Yang Miaozhen did not suffer from the enemy on both sides as imagined, but Yang Miaozhen steadily backed Mu Qixin, and it was impossible for the Shuhu Gao Qi to quickly capture the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Shumen in front of him.
And even if Huang He went to the danger and did not dispatch in a chaotic manner, and galloped to Qishou in time after a moment, his combat power would be greatly reduced after all, and how could he afford to wait for an attack.
Although it was still a flanking attack, the time was staggered, and the morale of the army was also affected, and Shumen and Qi Shou, who were originally expected to arrive in an hour, became a hard bone that could not be gnawed down all night.
"Forget it, notify General Huang and withdraw. "Arrows and stones attack, smoke and dust, in the night, the magic tiger Gao Qi knows that it is late, and the follow-up reinforcements of the Song bandits will eventually arrive, no matter how difficult it is, it will eventually arrive, and from now on, Tietangxia may be even more difficult to get hands on, the best time is missed, and a trace of melancholy passes between the eyebrows.
The feather is galloping. But what no one in the Jin army expected was that not long after the first messenger arrived at Qi Shou to inform the withdrawal of the army, the second brought the bad news that the Shuhu Gao Qi was defeated and fled in embarrassment, and the army was defeated.
"How so?" said Huang He, who couldn't hide his surprise. Even if the attack is blocked, Shuhu Gao Qi will only retreat from the army, and he will not be defeated, "With the little men and horses of the Southern Volunteer Regiment with his salary, how can he dare to chase and kill him if he can defend against the danger?"
"Wu Jiajun, Wu Jiajun, it's really ......" The messenger was out of breath.
"What Wu Jiajun ......?" Huang He was stunned for a moment, never expecting it.
"Lord Huang, why are you delayed......" the messenger wailed.
"I ......" Huang Hego's expression changed slightly, and he was about to blame himself, but he suddenly remembered something, and his hands and feet trembled: "It's all a plan, it's a plan...... It's not Wu Jiajun, it's the ...... of the Anti-Gold Alliance"
Yes, if the Shuhu Gao Qi endures for a while, he may really realize his long-cherished wish. Because Lin Qian was indeed busy with the expedition to Huanqing Pingliang and the deployment of Hedong, he would not put the main force of the allied army at the junction of Dingxi and Qinzhou. The magic tiger Gao Qi can then take advantage of his unpreparedness, win by surprise, and spark the prairie fire. Shuhu Gao Qi also really lived up to expectations, and this few days of hard work really tickled Lin Qian.
But how could Lin Qian tolerate the Shuhu Gao Qi being behind the Eastern Crusade Allied Army?
Although the number of troops is small, they are ultimately aliens, and they are all thorns in their backs for a day.
"It must be cleared. "At the beginning, Shuhu Gao Qi smuggled Weishui under Jinling's nose, and Lin Qian was furious when he heard the news and gave the order.
So this time, Lin Qian and Xue Jiuling hit it off.
Xue Jiuling wants to prove himself, and Lin Qian wants to help him establish his authority: the official army of the Southern Song Dynasty can definitely fight, even stronger than the local allied forces, and only in that way can it deter this road, and no matter how many roads want to use the hands of the official army to drag down the allied army.
"No one fails in their lifetime. "Lin Qian's heart is not as anxious as Yin'er, because he single-handedly planned Xue Jiuling's defeat in Lanjialing, yes, Xue Jiuling's third defeat is different from Wu Xi's defeat in Dongkegu and Laiyuan Town-
One defeat is not as good as others, and then defeat lies down and tastes courage, and three defeats make a comeback.
The so-called third defeat is just deliberate, just to make the Jin army take it lightly!
It was so that when Shuhu Gao Qi attacked Tietangxia, he taught Liu Duohe to focus all his attention on defending against Mo Fei on the left and Du Bilin on the right, and no one took care of the back road, and Xue Jiuling, who was defeated and disappeared.
When the Shuhu Gao Qi could not attack Shumen for a long time, lost all his spirit, and decided to retreat, the Southern Song Dynasty official army suddenly attacked the oblique road under the leadership of Xue Jiuling, attacked its lazy return, and defeated the Jin army.
"You can't take it as a mistake. Shuhu Gao Qi is good at commanding, and he is alone. ”
Once Xue Jiuling defeated the Shuhu Gao Qi, the danger of Mu Qi's salary was immediately resolved, and then Du Bilin's lost ground was also recovered. The Jin army had and only Liu Duo, who was accustomed to surviving in desperate situations, desperately rescued and turned the tide, so as to keep the several camps under the rule of Du Bilin that he had grabbed earlier......
However, Lin Qian's overall plan, if only "deceitful defeat and counterattack", is obviously not enough.
As Bai Qingzhou said, Shuhu Gao Qi and others are fierce enemies, and if they want to defeat them, they must not only satisfy Shuhu Gao Qi "taking it lightly and unexpectedly", but also satisfying the Jin Army itself is "exhausted and exhausted".
If you lose all your strength, you can only attack it for a long time. And only when the combined attack agreed by Shuhu Gao Qi lacks people, can this condition be created.
Therefore, Lin Qian had made up his mind before the war, and at the same time that the Shuhu Gao Qi attacked, the Yellow Crane in the east of the Tietang Gorge could not be present;
Huang He went, obviously he had already sent a move to stop Li Gui, but no one could stop him, why did he make a detour at the appointed time, and the army was in chaos and delayed?
"When the Yellow Crane goes to the east of Tietang Gorge, he needs to bear the risk of being overturned by the barren mountain. With Huang He's ability to go, he will definitely imagine the event of a landslide, and we will let him get what he wants. Lin Qian smiled, thinking that at the beginning, Huang Hego and his generals were there to move stones and smash their feet and be drowned by Dugu's palm. That barren mountain once brought the catastrophe of heaven and earth to the entire territory of Qinzhou. As long as the scene is repeated, it can arouse the demons in the heart, and the wind will be loud.
"However, with Huang He's use of troops, it is unlikely that he will be in a mess?"
"He has an old department of Dongfang Yu under his command, who has recently lost his master, and has no military heart, so he can be a black sheep. After Lin Qian finished speaking, the hundred miles of drifting clouds suddenly opened.
And how can the situation be repeated? There is no need for a single soldier. The barren mountains are not far away, and Pu A is entangled in Li Gui's bloody battle, and the drums of war are noisy, the longer it is, the more intense, and the more false and true.
It's a pity that Huang He went to think deeply, and kept an eye on the possible landslide, so he calculated the most appropriate time and speed, but Lin Qian caught his worrying characteristics and calculated - in fact, there was no catastrophe at all, and it was far away, why was he willing to be deceived?
When Huang He went to avoid the plausible landslide and decided to make a detour, the situation was actually still within Huang He's expectation and control, but he didn't expect that Dongfang Yu's command would prolong his detour time, and the pre-agreed fighter plane unfortunately became a pit for the Shuhu Gao Qi, and Huang He finally lost his own best plan and delayed. So Lin Qian didn't add a support army, so he made the best use of the environment and psychology.
What's even more terrifying is that Lin Qian and his advisers actually calculated the time of this agreed attack? When Huang He went to figure it out, how could he not be cold.
No, there is no need to calculate, Lin Qian used Xue Jiuling's defeat to lead the Jin army into the game step by step, and personally set a schedule for them.
Then he taught all the allied forces to retreat into the background, and Xue Jiuling and Li Gui attacked the Jin army respectively, helping Wu Xi to fight a beautiful turnaround.
"Wu Jiajun, it's really powerful. "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the descendant of Wu Ling and Wu Jue...... "I underestimated him, alas." "When the army was defeated, he returned to the land of the cones and listened to the gossip of the counsellors.
Where is Wu Xi, it's Lin Qian, one plan after another, so that they can't breathe at all.
Huang He looked at the rain that fell suddenly outside the curtain, his mood was gloomy, his back was cold, and he frowned when he thought of Gao Qi and others, who were uncertain about their life and death in Zhushan and Wushan at the moment. In this battle, Lin Qian didn't defeat Liu Duo alone.
"What's next?" the lieutenants were still whispering.
"In that case...... Lin Qian, I can only move your foundation. Huang He went quietly and sent his cronies to match Wu Xi.
At the same time, he also stated his idea of plotting against Wu Xi to Wanyan Yonglian through Pucha Bingxuan.
