Chapter 82: Dongting Lake
When Zhong Xiong heard Hua Chong say that he was going to raid the palace, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Junshan has only more than 10,000 men and horses, and the men and horses under the command of King Xiangyang are nearly 50,000!
Hua Chong said: "The head-to-head duel naturally has no chance of winning at all, but we can give him a central flowering and send reinforcements around the point!"
Shen Zhongyuan said on the side: "Could it be that you are using the secret passage to enter the palace directly?"
Hua Chong stroked his palms and said, "That's right, catch him off guard!" After that, he said to Zhong Xiong: "I heard that Zhong Taibao has two hundred personal soldiers, known as flying legs and short knife hands, and they all practice high and high kung fu, is this really the case?"
"Well, these 200 people are my own soldiers, and the leader of the team is an old general who is waiting for my master when he is alive, named Xie Kuan, who is very capable. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I hope that Zhong Taibao will lend me these two hundred people, and I will lead this group of men and horses to raid the Xiangyang Palace, once the palace is lost, they will inevitably draw the tens of thousands of troops outside the city to support, and Zhong Taibao and Lord Shen will lead the main force of Junshan to set up an ambush outside the city to ambush them!"
Zhong Xiong and Shen Zhongyuan glanced at each other, both pondering the feasibility of this matter, you must know that everyone's entire belongings now are Junshan's army, and once it fails, it will be the annihilation of the entire army. Even if he is lucky, the court will not be able to explain, and the emperor will inevitably be guilty.
For a moment there was silence in the cabin, and no one answered. After a long time, Bai Jintang said to Hua Chong: "Your plan is a bit similar to the tactics in Chenzhou, oh, by the way, it's called a decapitation operation!"
"Exactly, this time we still have to behead, outnumbered, there is no benefit in fighting hard, we must win by skill!"
Zhong Xiong said: "But this time you entered the palace at night, it can be said that you failed, and you were caught by others, go again, can you do it?" I think we might as well defend Junshan, after all, the water army of the King of Xiangyang still relies on me, and if you want to use troops in Dongting Lake, they have no problem at all." As long as we wait for the imperial court to reinforce, wouldn't it be better for us to join forces to capture Xiangyang?"
When Hua Chong heard this, he was very unhappy in his heart, this Zhong Xiong was obviously afraid of defeat and took responsibility! As long as the reinforcements from the imperial court came, and his monarch mountain was not lost, there was no big mistake. Shen Zhongyuan on the side also hesitated, and said to Hua Chong: "What Lord Zhong said is quite reasonable, besides, even if the palace is broken, it is just to hold Zhao Lin and Lei Ying, and the king of Xiangyang is not there at all! ”
There was also a sense in what he said, and it was obvious that he and Zhong Xiong had the same idea, retaining their vital strength and waiting for reinforcements! Hua Chong moved his gaze to Bai Jintang, "Big Brother Bai, what do you think?"
Bai Jintang still had a signature smile, and said softly: "I don't understand the major affairs of the military family, but as long as Brother Hua Xian needs you, I will definitely help you!"
Hua Chong's heart was greatly moved, and he was about to thank him, when Zhao Caixia suddenly asked: "Bai Daxia, why are you so obedient to Hua Chong? Even if what Hua Chong said is wrong, will you go with him?"
Bai Jintang shook his head and said firmly: "That's right, even if it's wrong, I will go with him, because he is a friend who deserves my life to help!"
Seeing that Zhao Caixia was a little puzzled, Bai Jintang looked at Hua Chong: "Do you remember when you were in Chenzhou?" I took Yutang to see you, I want you to take him to see the world and accept his temperament, you accepted Yutang without asking." I will take anesthetic, you will save Miao Zhendong if you turn over the numbness, you will intercede for me in front of Lord Bao, and if you don't want the official position of the imperial court, you must save my life. In Anping Town, you were besieged with four catchers, and you led four people to fight to the death, instead of escaping alone. ”
Bai Jintang seemed to be a little moved, and turned back to everyone: "Lord Hua's idea may not be the best, but it is not too bad, maybe there are some risks, but some risks can be exchanged for relatively large returns." If the surprise attack is successful, it will be us who occupy Xiangyang City! Even if the opponent's strength is four times that of ours, it is not impossible to defend the city for a month, but if we retreat to Junshan, even if the imperial court sends troops to attack the fortified city of Xiangyang, it will inevitably suffer great damage. Taking a step back, even if we lose, we can still retreat to Junshan, why don't we give it a try? I believe that Brother Hua Xian, Master Hua of the school captain is not a person who abandons his friends, he will not cheat us!"
Zhong Xiong thought for a while and said: "There are 64 villages in my Junshan and water droughts, which are divided into: front, back, left, right, middle, inside, outside, and water, each of which is divided into eight villages, and each village has 200 people. Neibazhai is under the management of my brother-in-law Jiang Kai, and he is left to guard Junshan as our backup. The water Bazhai is dispatched by the master of Wuzhai, and the leader of Wuzhai has experience and is responsible for responding on the water. The remaining six troops, led by me and Shen Zhongyuan, ambushed the reinforcements of the King of Xiangyang outside the city. In the inner eight villages, a village of people and horses with flying legs and short knives were transferred to the command of Lord Hua to raid the Xiangyang Palace. When you arrive at Jun Mountain, whether it is the owner of the village or the soldiers on my mountain, including me, all the people you pick will go to the palace with you!"
Hua Chong got up and bowed to Zhong Xiong and said, "Thank you Zhong Taibao Gaoyi!"
After arriving at Junshan, Hua Chong and others were very shocked, to say that they have been to a lot of cottages, especially among the Great Lakes, Taihu Lake and Hongze Lake are the same name as Dongting Lake, but compared with Junshan, it is simply a thatched cottage in general.
Zhong Xiong really deserves to be a civil and military jinshi, this cottage is well organized, whether it is a bright post or a dark post, a camp or a barracks layout, it is all very orderly. The military appearance is strict and neat, the armor is bright, it is not the appearance of ordinary cottage thieves, it is quite military.
When they arrived at Zhong Xiong's conference room, Pixiu Hall, everyone was even more amazed, if it was an ordinary cottage, it was nothing more than a tiger skin chair, a Taishi chair on both sides, eighteen weapons behind it, a human skin on the wall, and a skull and the like.
Zhong Xiong's Pixiu Hall is comparable to Pang Ji's study, with some antique ornaments on display, and a row of bookshelves against the wall, all of which are military books and war books. After everyone sat down, Zhong Xiong ordered people to beat drums and gather generals, but after a cup of tea, all the sixty-four village owners arrived and greeted everyone one after another.
Hua Chong sighed secretly: This Junshan is no different from the military camp at the border pass, if this Zhong Xiong is not in the Imperial City Division, but leads the troops to fight, he should also be handsome all the way. No wonder the forehand of the Imperial City Division is Zhong Xiong, and Shen Zhongyuan is just his deputy. Although Shen Zhongyuan is resourceful, in terms of temperament, he is still not as good as Zhong Xiong, Zhong Xiong's atmosphere is much stronger than Shen Zhongyuan's gloomy feeling. But such a person must be very assertive, no wonder he will put forward the idea of preserving strength on the ship. It seems that he still doesn't trust himself more.
It's right to think about it carefully, the two of them are just meeting for the first time, and they almost folded in the palace, and they have been in a few confrontations with Shen Zhongyuan before, and they have also fallen behind, as Shen Zhongyuan's boss, it is normal for Zhong Xiong to look down on himself. Thinking of this, Hua Chong decided to see how Zhong Xiong arranged it, and what kind of views he had on his plan and the owners of Junshan.
"All the brothers have met with Lord Hua, just now on the way here, Lord Hua has a plan to raid the palace, what do you think of this plan?" Zhong Xiong really handed over this plan to everyone for discussion, and after he finished explaining the process of the plan, among the owners of the village, stood up and said to Hua Chong: "Lord Hua, there is something unclear below, since you are leaving Xiangyang with the help of the secret passage, then if Zhao Lin finds the secret passage, or simply blocks the secret passage, what should you do?" It takes three or four days to go back and forth from Xiangyang at the earliest, and such a long time is very variable. ”
Hua Chong saw that the big leader of Zuo Bazhai who spoke, the golden gun will be righteous, this person's status in Junshan is not low, his five brothers, known as the five tigers of the Yu family, are the owners of Junshan, among which this Yu Yixing is one of the several big think-tank figures in Junshan, and his speech can be said to represent the middle-level owner of Junshan and Zhong Xiong's military division.
Hua Chong said: "I don't think there can be any change in the matter of the secret road, although Junshan is a few days away from Xiangyang, Lei Ying will never let Zhao Lin block the tunnel." ”
"Why?"
"Because Lei Ying wants to put the blame for losing the alliance list on me, then Zhao Lin must be convinced that he is innocent. One of the tunnels leads to the palace, and the other leads to his Lei family's house, if Zhao Lin knows about this, what will he think of Lei Ying?"
"Won't anyone else discover the tunnel?"
"Then I have to ask Lord Shen how many people still know about this secret passage. ”
Shen Zhongyuan said: "The secret passage is the secret of the king of Xiangyang, and it is I who proposed to cultivate the secret passage, the purpose is to one day use it as a way to sneak attack the palace in the future, or set up an ambush at the exit of the secret passage, so as to catch the king of Xiangyang." The king of Xiangyang has always thought about making progress and retreating. There is no reason why he should not agree to this kind of thing that leaves a way back. The construction of the tunnel was handed over to Lei Ying, and I don't think anyone except me and Lei Ying would know about the tunnel. This time I went out of the palace, Lei Ying lost the alliance, if Lei Ying is not stupid, he will definitely track it from the secret passage, and once he investigates, he will find the section of the secret passage leading to his house. Lei Ying should be ostracized by the Kunlun monk now, and I guess he won't expose the secret path at this time and cause more trouble for himself. ”
Yu Yi thought about the key to this, nodded and said: "This thing is also feasible, but there are a lot of capable people in the palace, just two hundred flying legs and short knife hands, I'm afraid it's not easy, it's best to send more masters." ”
Yu Yi's words basically represented the other village owners in Junshan, and no one objected after that. He Kun, the former Governor of the Iron Knife of the former Dazhai Dazhai Lord, got up and said: "Dazhai Lord, how to arrange people and horses is up to you." ”
When Hua Chong and Bai Jintang heard this, they glanced at each other, and it was obvious that the people in the school captain were still outsiders in the eyes of the owners of the Jun Cottage.
Zhong Xiong humbly conceded: "It's still Lord Hua who has the final say, long live the purpose, and the people of the Imperial City Division are under the command of Lord Hua of the school captain." ”
Hua Chong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, Zhong Taibao is the head of the family here, and it should be commanded by you, and the owners of each village are also familiar to you, how to distribute it, or you have the final say." ”
Zhong Xiong was no longer humble, and assigned: "Master Xie Zhai, you always lead two hundred flying legs and short knife hands, and go to the palace with Lord Hua." ”
An old man in his fifties stood up and said, "Order!"
"Jiang Kai, you lead the rest of the men and horses in Neibazhai except for the flying leg short knife hand to defend Junshan, if the people of the king of Xiangyang attack the mountain, you must hold out until we return to the army, if Junshan is lost, I just need to see your corpse!"
A heroic young man with a blood-red vertical stripe between his eyebrows stood up and said, "You have to order! The mountain is in the people! The mountain is destroyed and people are killed!"
"Jiang Xiong, you lead the people of Shuibazhai and assist the master of Wuwanfeng Wuzhai to Tanxi to meet the people inside and outside Xiangyang!"
A lean man in his forties stood up and said, "Order!"
"He Kun, Wen Hua, Yu Yi, Wang Xuan, Zhu Ying, Lu Bin, each of the six of you will lead six troops to assist Shen Zhongyuan in blocking the rebels of the King of Xiangyang!"
Everyone was stunned, and Yu Yi hurriedly asked, "Don't you personally lead the troops, Lord Dazhai?"
Zhong Xiong smiled: "I want to personally accompany Lord Hua to the palace to meet the masters of the palace for a while!"
