Chapter 468: Sending troops to help, Zhongmu Siege

Seeing that almost all of the people below were already tense, and they wanted to fight directly, the bustling two factions of people. Lin Hao's expression was three points colder than the frost of winter, and he suddenly shouted angrily: "If you continue to quarrel like this, you can solve the problem in front of you, stop it all for me." ”

With Lin Hao's roar, the crowd that was a little more lively than the vegetable market became silent in an instant, and even a fart could directly find the main owner.

Seeing that it was quiet below, Lin Hao locked his eyes on Zheng Anliang, who advocated going to the rescue, and shouted: "Lord Zheng, since you advocate sending troops to rescue, then I will send you as the main general, leading an army of 30,000 to relieve the siege of Zhongmu, how about it?"

Before Lin Hao's words fell, Zheng Anliang hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a very frightened expression: "My lord, the lower official is a civilian official, and he doesn't understand this march and war. ”

Lin Hao glanced at him coldly, and shouted angrily, "Since you don't know how to march and fight, how can you look confident just now?"

"This ...... This ......" Zheng Anliang was asked by Lin Hao what to do if he was unwise, his voice trembled a little and began to stand up, and it was just a "this" word for a long time.

Lin Hao glanced at him with disdain, and shouted at everyone: "Which general is willing to lead the army to relieve the siege of Zhongmu?"

Before Lin Hao's words fell, a middle-aged man with a tiger's back stood up and shouted loudly: "The last general, Gao Tingzhi, is willing to lead the army!"

"The last general, Zhao Yanhui, is also willing to lead the army to relieve the siege of Zhongmu!" Gao Tingzhi's words had just fallen, and another general with a relatively fair face also stood up and responded respectfully.

"Okay, General Gao, this commander orders you to lead an army of 50,000 to march tomorrow and go to relieve the siege of Zhongmu!"

"General Zhao, you lead an army of 30,000 people, follow closely, keep a distance of thirty miles from General Gao, and once things change, immediately cover General Gao's withdrawal. ”

"My lord, the soldiers are fast, this place is only more than a hundred miles away from Zhongmu City, as long as it takes half a day, you can reach Zhongmu City, set off now, you can arrive at dusk, why wait until tomorrow?" Before Lin Hao's words fell, Gao Tingzhi shouted with some dissatisfaction.

"This is an order, just go down and carry it out, you don't need to ask about it. Lin Hao, who has always been good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, is unusual, and even gives people a sense of rigidity.

"Xu joined the army, you are calm and resourceful. This time it's a big matter, it's up to you to assist General Gao Tingzhi and go to relieve the siege of Zhongmu!" After training Gao Tingzhi, Lin Hao turned to Xu Chendong and shouted.

"Yes, the last general obeys the order!" Xu Chendong, who was still vehemently opposed to sending troops just now, was also very abnormal at this time, not only did not refute again, but responded very happily.

"Uncle Lin, I have a common enmity with Liang Cheng and the thief, please let me go with the army!" Yan Yun heard that the rebel general was Liang Cheng, and immediately remembered the tragic situation of the eight hundred brothers before they died, clenched his fists hard, and secretly gritted his teeth and said.

"Yan Yunxian's nephew, I'm afraid this is not good, you are still injured, before Xiao Yu left, he also told Wan to explain, I must take care of you, and this battle is extremely dangerous, you should stay here and recuperate well!" Lin Hao flicked his sleeves and responded.

Yan Yun immediately glanced at Ah Feng and replied respectfully, "Uncle Lin, my injuries have already healed, and with my brother-in-law going, I will definitely be able to kill Liang Cheng's thief." ”

It is undeniable that Yan Yun's words are very tempting for Lin Hao, as long as Liang Cheng is killed, then the 300,000 rebels will become scattered sand to be defeated with one blow.

Thinking of this, Lin Hao glanced at Ah Feng again and asked, "Ah Feng Shaoxia, what do you think?"

Ah Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Uncle Lin, I have no opinion. ”

Lin Hao responded: "Okay, you will go with Gao Ting's army to relieve the siege of Zhongmu." Don't you have to remember that Liang Cheng is a tricky person who is extremely difficult to deal with, and everything should be handled carefully. ”

At dawn the next day, Gao Tingzhi, Xu Chendong, Yan Yun and A Feng and others, led an army of 50,000 to open Zhongmu County.

However, the faces of the four of them were not very good-looking, especially Gao Tingzhi, who had a fiery temper, his face was longer than the soles of his shoes, and he shouted angrily: "Xu joins the army, according to our marching speed, it is estimated that it will not be able to reach Zhongmu City even after dark." ”

Xu Senjun stroked his beard slightly, and said, "It's not dark, isn't there still tomorrow?"

"Xu Chendong, I think you are greedy for life and afraid of death. Gao Tingzhi scolded Xu Chendong angrily, and then shouted to the herald: "Someone, pass on my military order, and go to Zhongmu City quickly!"

"Slow, the general's move is inappropriate!" Xu Chendong hurriedly stopped.

Gao Tingzhi glared at Xu Chendong fiercely, and shouted: "I am the commander, does Xu want to disobey the military order?"

Xu Chendong hurriedly responded, "General, don't be angry, please listen to my explanation first." ”

Gao Tingzhi's anger still hung all over his face, and he shouted, "I want to see, what explanation do you have?"

Xu Chendong stroked his goatee and asked, "As long as the general answers me a few questions, it's enough!"

Gao Tingzhi asked, "What's the problem?"

Xu Chendong asked, "General, how are our troops compared to the rebels?"

Gao Tingzhi replied angrily: "Do you still need to ask, we only have an army of 50,000, and the rebels have 300,000, of course, they are not as good as the rebels." ”

Xu Chendong continued to ask: "Then how is our morale compared to the rebels?"

Gao Tingzhi paused for a moment and responded: "Our army in Luoyang is newly defeated, and its morale is low, so it is naturally inferior to the rebels. ”

Xu Chendong asked: "The time and the place are favorable, which of these two do we occupy?"

Gao Tingzhi shook his head and said, "Whether it's time or location, we don't have any of them now!"

Xu Chendong smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Okay, the last question, with the talent of a general, how is it compared to Liang Cheng?"

Gao Tingzhi was stunned when he heard this, paused for a long time, shook his head, and said: "Liang Chengnai was a proud disciple of Duke Lin in the past, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the battle to drive out the Mongolian Tatars, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to do the same!"

Xu Chendong stroked his beard, smiled slightly, and said: "The general's talent is not as good as Liang Cheng, the time and place are favorable, we don't occupy the same, and we are also at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, dare to ask the general, even if we kill Zhongmu City now, are you ten percent sure that the siege of Zhongmu will be lifted?"

Gao Tingzhi's expression was like a weathered stone, he shook his head, and said, "No! But we can't sit back and watch the 100,000 army in Zhongmu City be eaten by the rebels without going to the rescue, right?"

Xu Chendong shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course not, otherwise, why would the adults let us go out of the city to rescue?"

Gao Tingzhi was completely confused, his expression was full of rolling incomprehension, and asked: "This is not, that is not either, then what do you say we should do now?"

Xu Chendong paused slightly, and only one word popped out of his mouth; "Wait!"

"Wait, wait for what?" asked Gao Tingzhi, puzzled.

Xu Chendong responded: "Wait for the reinforcements of the major general!"

"Major General?" As soon as he heard these three words, not only Gao Tingzhi's expression was shocked, but even Yan Yun and Ah Feng, who had always been silent, were suddenly shocked.

Xu Chendong nodded slightly, and responded: "Exactly, last night my lord told me that the Holy Lord has appointed the major general as the new counterinsurgency marshal, and now he is leading an army of 200,000 and is on his way here." As long as the young general arrives, not only can he relieve the siege of Zhongmu, but it is not impossible to completely eat Liang Cheng's 300,000 rebels. ”

Hearing this news, Gao Tingzhi, whose expression was originally uglier than a stone, stretched a little. After a while, a trace of doubt appeared in his heart again, and he asked, "What if Liang Cheng suddenly launched an attack before the young general came?"

Xu Chendong shook his head with a smile and said, "No!"

Gao Tingzhi asked with a puzzled expression: "How can you join the army?"

Xu Chendong responded: "The walls of Zhongmu City have been washed away by the flood, and there is no food in the city. If Liang Cheng wants to eat them, two hours will be enough for the 300,000-strong army to attack! However, it has been a whole day since yesterday, and they have not moved for a long time, doesn't General Gao feel strange?"

"Besiege the city and send reinforcements!" Hearing Xu Chendong's words, Gao Tingzhi immediately spit out these four words from his mouth.

Xu Chendong nodded slightly, and said, "Exactly, Zhongmu City is just a bait, and the big fish they want to catch is us, so we can only wait now!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Chendong glanced around and said, "This place is only fifty or sixty miles away from Zhongmu City, once Zhongmu City is in an emergency, we can also rush to the rescue as soon as possible." General Gao, in my opinion, it is better to set up camp here!"

Gao Tingzhi nodded helplessly, and then shouted to the herald: "Pass my military order, just around here, choose a favorable terrain and set up camp!"

An hour later, the news that Gao Tingzhi's 50,000-strong army had set up camp on the bank of the Qingshui River, fifty or sixty miles away from Zhongmu City, had reached Liang Cheng's Chinese army camp.

Liang Cheng was angry at this time, and the chrysanthemum that just wanted to heal almost let go of his anger. shouted angrily: "Gao Tingzhi, do you think that if you don't take the bait, I won't be able to take you?"

Immediately, Liang Cheng held the chrysanthemum with one hand, and waved the other hand in the air, shouting angrily: "Liang Gaohu, Zhao Jinhua, I order the two of you to lead an army of 100,000 and hurry to the bank of the Qingshui River to destroy Gao Tingzhi's 50,000 army for me." ”

"Yes, General, the last general obeys!" the two generals in armor stood up and responded one after another.

"General, Lin Hao also arranged for Zhao Yanhui to lead an army of 30,000, which is only twenty or thirty miles away from Gao Tingzhi's 50,000 army, if we suddenly attack, I am afraid that we will be ambushed by them. At that time, once things change, it is very likely that the military division's plan will be ruined. At this time, one of Liang Cheng's senior staff members hurriedly stood up and said.

Liang Cheng's chrysanthemum was stabbed by Yan Yun, but his head was still good. He knew that his mentor Lin Hao was powerful, so he rashly sent 100,000 troops to it, and it was very likely that he would be ambushed by the Ming army.

After a slight pause, Liang Cheng said: "Li Senjun is right, just in case, Liang Gaohu, Zhao Jinhua, the two of you will lead 30,000 cavalry to the big camp on the bank of the Qingshui River to rob the camp after nightfall." I personally lead an army of 100,000 to meet you, in case anything happens. ”

"General, in this way, we will transfer 130,000 troops, and if the 100,000 Ming troops in Zhongmu City forcibly break through, I am afraid that they will ......."

Before Li Shenjun finished speaking, Liang Chengcheng waved his hand with a smile and said: "I understand Liu Xushou, he is a corrupt Confucian, and he is indecisive, even if I withdraw the 130,000 troops, he will be worried about the plan, and he will never dare to break through......"
