Chapter 4 A small test

Late at night, a figure under the candlelight paced back and forth, Waha led the remnants to run back to his base camp Lamutu overnight, thinking that he would be in Liangzhou for a few days, but he never thought that he would encounter such a strange thing, and his lieutenant general and others were all like losing their souls, which was unprecedented. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Under the tent of Waha, a group of people from the Central Plains gathered, most of whom were depressed in the Central Plains or who had committed crimes and were far away from home, and they gathered under Waha to give advice and make a living.

The strategy of this surprise attack on Liangzhou was recommended by a strategist named Liangsheng, this person from Huizhou, Anhui Province knows astronomy and geography, and is familiar with military tactics, because he offended the brother-in-law of Su Shunjia, the governor of Anhui, and was frequently troubled by the local prefect, and opened a small private school that was either disrupted by hooligans or seized by the government, and went to the government to sue, but the officialdom was protected by the officials, and no one gave him justice, and it was difficult to gain a foothold, so he took the whole family away from the Central Plains, and came to Lamutu just as Waha had an uprising, so he joined Waha as a strategist.

Liangsheng heard that Song Qing, the northwest wolf, has been obsessed with women recently, and the army is lax, Liangzhou is located in the northwest border, and there are still two thousand miles of mountain roads from Song Qing's base camp Chang'an, and the terrain of Liangzhou is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Liu Chi, who defends the city, is a mediocre talent, so he offered a surprise attack on Liangzhou, and surrounded it for two days, and the battle report of Liangzhou has not been sent to Song Qing's case. After taking Liangzhou, Waha had a base to march into the Central Plains, who would have thought that just a few days after occupying it, it was taken away by Lin Zhong effortlessly, and he also captured the division of five thousand tigers and wolves. Liang Sheng felt incredible, and when he heard that the king had returned, he quickly came to see him and asked why.

"King, why did this trip to Liangzhou turn out like this?"

"Liangsheng, I should take you there, this king doesn't know why my adjutants can't even stand up straight as if they have lost their souls, how can they command the battle to charge?"

"Oh, such a strange thing?" Ryosheng stroked his beard, deep in thought.

"This king suspects that Lin Chong has invited people from outside the party and given this king a Gu?"

"Outsiders?" Liang Sheng was shocked, he hadn't heard of any outsiders in the Central Plains.

Waha then sent people to Liangzhou to find out.

The city of Liangzhou is a mess, Lin Chong took over Liangzhou immediately put into the aftermath of the work, maintenance of the damaged houses, this time Liangzhou was robbed by the original 20,000 people in the city of less than 5,000 people, the government treasury was robbed, counting the surplus grain in the city a total of 1,000 stone of grain and grass can still maintain the military supply for five days, Chang'an's grain and grass supply is still on the way, probably tomorrow at noon.

"Li Zhen, you go and inform Feidiao, let him take the assault battalion to pick up the grain, and send a letter from Lord Song saying that the grain and grass are expected to arrive on March 20. ”

"Yes. My lord, Waha will not be willing to go here, and he will definitely send a fine work to inquire about the news, we might as well get rid of Waha and eliminate the trouble in the northwest. A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Li Zhen's mouth.

"Oh, Li Zhen, you kid really have a lot of ideas, tell me quickly. Lin Zhong became more and more curious about this young man.

"My lord, the Waha generation has always taken advantage of it and stopped, and it is absolutely unwilling not to take advantage, not to mention that this time it is such a big heel. I think they will definitely make up their minds about our grain and grass, and we will ask some old and sick soldiers to prepare a few more carts to pretend to be a grain and grass brigade, and it is better to say that the generalissimo of the northwest soldiers and horses will be rewarded, so that Waha will mistakenly think that this is a fat ticket. He will definitely send an elite army to sneak attack, and at the same time we will send troops to raid the silver treasury of Waha overnight. ”

"Lingshui, how is it a silver vault?" Lin Zhong wondered.

"My lord doesn't know, Lingshui is a place with abundant water and lush grass, and the horses of the Waha army are all from here, we are rushing to Lingshui, and Waha will definitely not be able to draw extra troops to come to the rescue, my lord, you don't smile at sending you tens of thousands of war horses for nothing?"

"Haha. I didn't think you were a lucky star from heaven to help me! ”

Lin Zhong sent a team of people and horses to pretend to carry grain from Huayin, along the road with flags and displays, gongs and drums noisy, passers-by have to talk about General Lin's victory in the battle, the northwest wolf alone sent 100,000 taels of silver!

In Lamutu, Waha naturally received information, and such a windfall must be relieved of the hatred in his heart.

"King, don't be fooled by such a meter, Lin Chong'er took us as fools, how could the northwest wolf be willing to reward Lin Chong so much money, the grain and grass were distributed on time, and he burned high incense in the forest, the king must not be fooled." ”

"Liangsheng, you are too worried this time, then Liangzhou will definitely need silver taels to recover the hellish elephant. Not so much, there must be a lot, not to mention the weight of grain and grass! ”

Liang Sheng couldn't convince Waha, shook his head and left. Waha sent 5,000 light cavalry overnight to rush straight to the grain transport team. Lin Chong since sending out the grain transport team specially instructed to slow down on the road, the momentum should be loud, this side closely watched Waha's every move, found that Waha was really fooled, Liangzhou City was guarded by Lin Chong, Feidiao led eight thousand elites, to the Waha silver library Lingshui rush. As it came and went, Waha naturally did not know that even greater losses were coming.

In April, Waha was sleeping peacefully in the house when the sound of hurried footsteps woke him up from a good dream.

"What's the matter, panic?"

"King, something is wrong, our Lingshui has been lost. The guard gasped for a report.

"What?"

"Lingshui was occupied by Lin Chongbu, who marched overnight, and we don't know when they left. ”

"Waste, a bunch of waste! ”

After a while, Liang Sheng came to Waha. When he heard that Lingshui was lost, he shook his head helplessly. "It seems that the king has met a master this time. ”

"Now, what does Sir think we should do?"

"Lingshui is lost, it doesn't matter, they fancy the king's war horse, they can't transport it away for a while, and immediately transfer Kush's troops to camp thirty miles south of Lingshui to prevent the war horse from being transported away. ”

"Why do you want to transfer Kush's soldiers? Our 5,000 elite food grabbers should also come back. ”

"Do you think they'll ever come back?"

"This, how. Oh, I really should listen to the gentleman!"

"The king doesn't have to be sad, for now I'm right, and I'll think for a moment what is sacred. Liang Sheng said firmly.

Lin Chong relied on Li Zhen's plan, and really received miraculous results, 12,500 war horses and 60,000 stones of forage in Lingshui, which was enough to raise war horses in the entire northwest territory. The team that came to rob the grain came and went, and all of them were taken down by the Lin Chongbu who was ambushed beside them.

"My lord, there is an urgent need to send reinforcements to Lingshui at the moment, but we don't have many people, to help Lingshui, Liangzhou is empty, and we are afraid that the enemy will attack, so the urgent thing at the moment is to ask Lord Song to send troops to support it quickly. ”

"I've sent someone to expedite eight hundred miles, but there's no response from Chang'an. Could it be that there has been some change in the DPRK and China?"

"I don't know about the affairs of the imperial court, I only know that if we don't send reinforcements at the moment, they may not be able to hold out for too long. ”

"What you think about is that I think the generals will not be subject to military orders abroad, so it is better to recruit troops nearby. ”

"Yes, it's just that how did the military salary come from?" Li Zhen was stumped by the money.

"The military salary is not simple, how much do you want?" Lin Zhong haha.

"How can you recruit two months' salary, recruit 8,000 people, 30 taels per month, counting grain, grass, weapons, cotton clothes, how can you get 800,000 taels. Li Zhen was taken aback by this huge military supply.

"I'll give you a million taels, and you'll be in charge of recruiting the army. ”

"Where did you get so much money?"

"You'll get to know it later. Lin Zhong smiled secretly.
