Volume 4 Chapter 76 There is a gap at birth
Qinghui junction Masang City.
Lin Chengze has a wide face and angry eyebrows, a burly figure, and a piece of gold chain mail, which is worthy of being a general, quite the style of Lin Youzu back then.
This time in the attack on Gyeongju, Lin Youzu actually only made tea and listened to music in the house, and he took this incident as a great opportunity to hand over the military order to Lin Chengze. The Lin family's pro-army was brought out from the battlefield by Lin Youzu, although the elite iron cavalry dragon guards have entered middle age and their agility has declined, but Lin Youzu took a fancy to their experience in fighting, and before disbanding, he decided to use these three thousand dragon guards as the personal guards of his only son Lin Chengze, in case of accidents.
Therefore, among the many counterinsurgency armies, the Huizhou army was the most famous, but it was precisely the Huizhou army that attacked the weakest city of Gyeongju.
Xiao Tiantu's intention was to quickly win a victory, boost morale, sweep away the reactionary forces in the shortest possible time, and establish the system that Xiao Shifeng asked him to complete, which was a new system in which the power of the generals of the state capitals was hollowed out, and civilian officials were appointed by the imperial court to manage the state capitals.
Lin Chengze was born with a calf, and he had the strength of the Hui army in his hands, he was young and vigorous, and he led the vanguard army alone to the vicinity of this Masang City.
Masang City is also the territory of Daqing Dart Bureau, Masang City, as the name suggests, rich in Masan, is the second hemp mulberry production area in the world, or unintentionally handled by Daqing Dart Bureau. Although there are not many benefits in transporting Masang, Luo Daqing obviously has no ambition and just wants to be a rich man, so Daqing Dart Bureau has not given up this business to other dart games for many years.
The defender of Masang City is a down-and-out person who volunteered, Li Shan's cousin Li Baotong.
This Li Bao is a little lonely, at the age of twelve, he can carry two buckets of water on his shoulders for ten miles without panting. It's a pity that Li Baotong was born in the countryside and mountains, although the neighbors praised him for his military demeanor, but because there was no master to teach, Li Baotong's body was always brute force.
As Li Baotong's cousin, Li Shan, served in Gyeongju in his early years, although he was not a big official, he was also a face-saving figure.
In this way, taking a fancy to Li Baotong's plasticity, Li Shan took Li Baotong to his home, showed him the military books he bought, and taught him martial arts. But after Li Baotong finished reading the book of war, it was like opening the door to another world, and he did not practice martial arts, and studied the book of war in the house every day.
This Li Shan's mind is also broad-minded, seeing his cousin's scene like this, it is better than those idle market children outside. A few years later, Li Shan lamented that his cousin's understanding of the art of war had surpassed his own, and while he was happy, he did not forget to recommend it to Su Zishan's guard chief Yang Wu. It's a pity that after Yang Wu accepted Li Shan's benefits, he fell in love with Li Shan's beautiful wife again, and made a request, but Li Shan categorically refused.
This matter fell through, and Li Shan couldn't get back the money he handed over, so he wanted to keep the current food and clothing conditions.
After Li Baotong knew about this, he was grateful to his cousin, Li Shan comforted him that it was now a peaceful and prosperous era, and his talent was not yet useful, Li Baotong said that he knew in his heart that in another two or three years, he would go to Saibei to join the army.
It's just that less than a year later, he waited for his cousin to let him command the Gyeongju soldiers and horses and defend against the Hui army.
Although Li Shan is not well-known, he is good at winning people's hearts and knowing people and making good use of them, he feels that Li Baotong has been familiar with the art of war for many years, and he is also half a general, not to mention that he is the only one who can be trusted, let him give it a try. If you go out by yourself, it will be a dead end, and in the face of the absolute power gap, only by making a surprise move can you win.
Li Baotong is Li Shan's trick. Since he can't fight head-on, let Li Baotong learn from the tricks and tricks he learned from books to hit the Huizhou army fiercely.
After Li Shan heard that Lin Youzu would not personally supervise the war, he was overjoyed and fell drunk in the general's mansion.
At this moment, Gyeongju, although there is no soldier and horse food, but the rear is empty, and the main force has been concentrated by Li Baotong within fifty miles of Masang City, but it can still be a battle. Although the Gyeongju army had no affection and obedience to Li Shan, Ma Biao had already sent his cronies to control the families of these soldiers in advance, so these soldiers had to fight for Li Shan.
Before the start of the war, Li Baotong was fully responsible, he had already added a reward, promising that after repelling the Huizhou army, every soldier defending the city would have a heavy reward, or a beautiful concubine, or gold and silver, different preferences, different rewards.
Li Baotong did not mention that the punishment after the loss was to lay the foundation for the soldiers, and the battle would be won.
Under the city, it was the commander sent by Lin Chengze, and the commander sent a message to the guard.
The people around Li Baotong repeatedly prevented Li Baotong from agreeing to this request, but Li Baotong readily agreed.
Li Baotong only took two guards who had been following him, jumped on his horse and whipped him, and the three of them went out of the city.
After following the commander for three miles, Li Baotong finally saw Lin Chengze's army from afar.
The three groups of war horses under the seat felt strong hostility and were in a mess, and Li Baotong and the three of them tightened the reins calmly, but they were laughed at.
The two guards beside him were angry, drew their sabers, and smiled even more, quite arrogant.
Lin Chengze slowly came over, approached the three of them, pressed the two guards back, circled around the three of them, and said lightly: "Don't come nonsense, don't talk about facing me, the three thousand vanguard army, even I alone is enough to deal with the three of you." ”
When Li Baotong saw this meeting for the first time, his heart was pounding, and he didn't know whether he was excited or scared.
However, in the art of war, it is said that momentum is overwhelming, so when Li Baotong signaled the two guards not to act rashly, he did not forget to shoot back: "I thought that General Lin had the courage of a horseman, but I didn't expect that he was also a far-sighted and cautious person." With such a military advantage, you have to ask me to meet alone, which is worthy of being a general, a famous general. ”
These words are both positive and deprecating, and anyone who is deaf can hear it. Lin Chengze sneered and said, "When I came, my father instructed that they were all siblings, but they were blinded. If the general can open the city gate and let my Huizhou soldiers not be bloodless, then the general and your brothers will not be held accountable, how about it?"
Li Bao was disdainful for a while: "Li is an incapable person, and he doesn't meet talents." Finally, I had this opportunity, but I surrendered instead of cherishing it, and no one in the court took care of it in the future, and there was only mediocrity. The eldest husband was born in the world and doesn't do something big, how can he be worthy of his biological mother?"
Comparing the two, Lin Chengze was born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child, but Li Baotong had to experience all kinds of flattening, all kinds of grievances, and the anger that Li Baotong pressed in his heart was indescribable.
Lin Chengze didn't know Li Baotong's origin, but at this moment he had already begun to calculate in his heart, his father said that this was a precaution, and fighting a war was to be bold and careful.
Li Bao has a good conversation with this person, and he can still suppress the scene, so he must also be a general who can be of great use. The two sides are fighting, and until the last moment, even if there is a world of difference, it is not a difference between victory and defeat.
Lin Chengze didn't want to say more, in fact, he was just acting like this, after all, these sergeants around him were loyal to his father, and persuasion was just for Lin Chengze to be seen by those old subordinates, he didn't want to be a powerful general, so he couldn't show his power.
Lin Chengze was satisfied, returned to the formation, and was extremely calm: "In this case, general, please go back, after tonight, you and I will be enemies." “
"Farewell. The two of them had their own ghosts, and Li Baotong's back and forth also made the sergeants see the courage and courage of their generals.
