774. Dingxiang City, it's you

When he entered the city, Li Pojun found that this Luzi Pass was really just a fortress, and the fortress built by the mountain was not big, and the barracks inside were vertical and horizontal.

Seeing that Li Pojun was only followed by more than 1,000 people and horses, mixed with horses and horses, Ni Huan was also surprised, and after serving coarse tea, he also asked: "Your Highness, the last general only received an order from above yesterday, saying that His Highness led the troops to destroy Liang, why did His Highness arrive so quickly?" Why are there only so many people? ”

took a sip of tea, it was really bitter, Li Pojun estimated that it was the old leaves picked from the old tea tree.

"Oh, General Ben led the 8,000 elite of the Shence army, and it only took three days to come, and the army is stationed at the foot of Baiyu Mountain, five miles away from Kansai." Li Pojun said directly.

Ni Huan was shocked when he heard this, and led the army from Chang'an to this Yanzhou in three days? Only eight thousand centaurs? Ni Huan's heart lit up, looking at the legendary young highness, thinking that His Royal Highness wouldn't be here to make a joke, right, and he thought about destroying the Liang country with 80,000 mercenaries with 8,000 people?

Looking at Ni Huan's stunned appearance, Li Pojun also smiled, didn't say much, and said directly: "General Ni can introduce the situation in Lu Ziguan."

Ni Huan also said bluntly when he heard this: "Back to Your Highness, Luziguan is the only pass in the city, guarding the Great Wall of Baiyu Mountain, Luziguan is only a pass, with 1,000 soldiers stationed, and the soldiers' families and material supplies are all in Saimen Town, twenty-five miles to the east. In the north, it is connected to the two states of Xia Sui occupied by the Liang thieves, and the Turkic cavalry gallops in these two states without hindrance, so Lu Ziguan is also facing Turkic attacks from time to time."

Hearing Ni Huan say this, Li Pojun also knew the general situation, this Luziguan and Saimen Town in the east are a border military town.

Xiazhou, now there is only one Changze city that belongs to the imperial court, Xiazhou Prefecture is set as Changze, and the east of Changze, north of Luziguan, is Dingxiang City, Dingxiang City is one of the few big cities in the pseudo-Liang, and it is also the first obstruction of Li Pojun's Northern Expedition, and the purpose of Li Pojun's three-day attack is to Dingxiang City.

"General Ni, pass the order, within five days, Lu Ziguan will not allow anyone to enter or leave, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." Li Pojun thought about it and ordered directly, since he had been quietly attacking here for three days, he would definitely not be able to spread the news, otherwise the strange soldiers would not be surprised, even the guards of Luzi only got the news yesterday that the imperial court was going to send troops to destroy Liang, and they didn't believe that the army was coming so soon, and the people who were pseudo-Liang would not know.

Ni Huan was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand it, but Li Pojun was now the general manager of the march, and the order he gave was a military order, so he immediately turned his head and gave an order to the deputy general.

Looking at Ni Huan's somewhat confused appearance, Li Pojun asked with a smile: "General Ni thinks that the pseudo-Liang side will know that I am coming?" ”

Ni Huan shook his head after hearing a little thought, and said bluntly: "I must not know, and the last general will only know, how can Pseudo Liang know." After saying that, Ni Huan patted his head, suddenly realized, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness is afraid that the news will be leaked and you want to be a surprise soldier?" ”

This Ni Huan is not stupid, it can be understood at one point, Li Pojun nodded, and asked again: "Does the general know the situation in Dingxiang City?" ”

"I know, the last general has fought with it many times, how can I not know, Dingxiang Shou will be Li Zhengbao, the general of Laoshizi Huwei who is sealed by Liang thief, there are about 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, but the elite who can fight is only three or four thousand, Dingxiang City is built according to the Lu River, the moat is two zhang wide, it is very difficult to break." Ni Huan lowered his head and thought about telling everything he knew about the situation in Dingxiang City, and even the troops were clear, and they usually dealt with each other, so he knew this.

"Tiger General Li Zhengbao? Do you know about this person? ”

"Li Zhengbao turned out to be just a horse thief outside the pass, was recruited by Liang Shidu as a high-ranking official, and was named a tiger general, said to be the head of the four tiger generals, his person is good at using a spear, martial arts, but the last general's martial arts are sparse but can not beat him, this person has an unruly personality, acts arrogantly and casually, but his temperament is bold, and he treats a group of horse thieves under his hands very well, and the most elite in Dingxiang City is his cavalry composed of more than 1,000 horse thieves." Ni Huan said until he gushed.

Li Pojun listened to it interestingly, "Four Tiger Generals? "The news of Shuo Fang that he asked Li Zhen to collect has not yet come, but now he can learn about it from Ni Huan.

"That's the case, Liang Shidu has four powerful people under his hands, all of them are martial arts, and the pseudo-Liang army is basically led by these four people, these four people are Huwei General Li Zhengbao, Hulie General Xin Fang'er, Tiger Ben General Feng Duan, and Tiger Roar General Liu Min, General Liu Min has entered the court, and the current Xia Governor Shi. Among them, if you talk about martial arts, Li Zhengbao is the most, if you talk about strategy, it should be Feng Duan, of course, if you talk about loyalty, it is Liu Changshi of Xiazhou." Ni Huan drank saliva, wiped his mouth, and said straightly, seemingly talkatively.

Li Pojun also laughed when he heard it, this Liang Shidu has little ability, but he has a lot of tricks.

That night, after thanking Ni Huan for taking over the wind and washing the dust, Li Pojun went straight back to the camp, the big tent of the Chinese army, the candle flame was sizzling, Li Pojun held a long letter in his hand and looked at it slowly, this is the pseudo-Liang situation that he ordered the shadow to investigate, Dingxiangcheng, and he was killed.

The next day, in the big tent of the Chinese army, when they learned that Li Pojun was going to capture Dingxiang City, the generals asked for their lives one after another, and they were excited, Dingxiang City is the second largest city in Xiazhou after Shuofang, I didn't expect Li Pojun to have such a big appetite, and he came up to do this big, but the generals were only excited about it, and there was a big battle to show that there was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

For a while, all the generals asked for their lives, and Li Pojun pressed down his hand, and only dropped the sentence "The general has his own arrangement" to return the account, which made the generals inexplicable.

After the generals left, Li Pojun left Li Zhen alone, "Order Liu Min, don't attack Shuofang, let him feint to attack Ningshuo County, and make a big noise." You increase the surveillance of Dingxiang City, and once there are soldiers and horses out of Dingxiang City, you will report immediately."

Li Zhen responded when he heard this, and then guessed with a little excitement: "The general wants to besiege the city and send reinforcements?" Set up an ambush on the road to Li Zhengbao's reinforcements? "Li Zhen is also a smart person, he has read military books a lot, and he figured it out as soon as he heard it.

Li Pojun looked at the map, pointed to Ningshuo County and Dingxiang City, also nodded, and said directly: "Liu Min attacks Ningshuo, Li Zhengbao will not sit idly by, at that time, our army will be divided into two armies, one side will feign to attack Dingxiang, and the other side will be ambushed in the middle of the road, according to Li Zhengbao's irritable and arrogant nature, he must be angry and return to Dingxiang, so rushing, he has become a tired army, how can he not be defeated."

Li Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he exclaimed: "Two feints, exhausting their reinforcements, and waiting for work, will definitely be able to cut off a piece of meat in Dingxiangcheng." There are 20,000 soldiers and horses in Dingxiang City, and they only have 8,000.
