Chapter 191: The First Battle of the Expeditionary Army
Tong Guan's coercion is extraordinary, with a gentle word, Xin Congzong, who was unruly, obediently lowered his arrogant head, and honestly led the troops to open the way in front, but only under this coercion, no one dared to jump out at will along the way to make trouble, which made the speed of the march a little faster than in the past, and it was not long before he arrived at the place where Wei Dingguo set up the camp.
Wei Dingguo got the news, and hurriedly rushed to the camp gate with several deputy generals, and welcomed Tong Guan and the accompanying capital supervisors and jiedu envoys into the Chinese army's big tent.
Tong Guan had just sat down, when he saw Wei Dingguo's knees weak, knelt straight in the tent, and wept in a sobbing voice: "The last general was ordered to raise troops to fight against thieves, but the initial battle was unfavorable, causing Shan Tingqi to fall into the hands of the enemy, and most of the military horses were damaged, which touched the spirit of the army, and asked Lord Taiwei to take responsibility!" ”
Tong Guan sat in the handsome position, gently touched the few beards he was proud of, suddenly showed a smile on the ground, and stretched out his hand and said: "General Wei is serious, please get up quickly!" You must know that the two armies are facing each other, there are winners and defeats, how can there be an invincible general in the world, it doesn't matter if you lose this time, you can win it back next time! Generals, do you think this is the case? After speaking, he laughed first, and the generals laughed when they saw Tong Guan laughing, and they also laughed.
Han Tianlin saw that Wei Dingguo was still kneeling there and didn't want to get up, so he stepped forward and helped him up, "Brother, Taiwei also said, it's nothing to lose once, as long as you win back next time, why should you be so serious!" ”
Wei Dingguo's eyes were full of tears, and he respectfully bowed to Tong Guan, "Thank you Lord Taiwei for not killing you, even if the last general is broken bones, it will be difficult to repay the adult!" ”
"General Wei is serious!" Tong Guan smiled, and then his face was slightly pale, "General Wei has already started a battle with the Liangshan bandits, so can you tell me a good story, what is the situation with those bandits?" ”
Wei Dingguo clenched his fists, "Dare not obey your fate!" So he told everyone what he saw and the beginning and end of the battle with Liangshan, and at the end, he added with a lonely face, "According to the end of the future, this Liangshan thief and I fight, I'm afraid it's not the idea of fighting to play, and I didn't use all my strength. ”
Wei Dingguo's words, Tong Guan, who listened to it, frowned, and most of the generals gasped, but Xin Congzong's face did not change, and he said wildly: "Think about that Liangshan a little grass, where did he get such combat power, I'm afraid that General Wei himself is not good at fighting, let's be alarmist here!" ”
"You!" Wei Dingguo is a fiery temper, and he is the most irritated in his life, but he also knows that it is an indisputable fact that he has lost the battle, so he can only press the anger at the moment, snort coldly and turn his head.
Xin Congzong saw that Wei Dingguo was silent, and his heart was even more determined, so he directly got up and hugged his fists and said: "Tai Lieutenant, measure a little grass in Liangshan, what ability can resist our tens of thousands of troops, tomorrow to start the army to see the battle, the end of the general is not talented, I am willing to be the first to go out, I must capture a few thieves, and dedicate it to Lord Taiwei!" ”
Tong Guan Dayue immediately said loudly: "Okay! With a fierce general like General Xin who is loyal to the monarch and serves the country, I believe that breaking Liangshan is just around the corner! Generals, in tomorrow's battle, you must play the sharp spirit of the court, and let those grass cowards know that there is no good end to going against the court! ”
As soon as Tong Guan's words came out, all the generals were in their hearts, and they all got up and hugged their fists and said: "Obey the will of the Taiwei!" ”
Xin Congzong glanced at Han Tianlin and Wei Dingguo provocatively, snorted lightly in his nose, and took the lead in turning around and leaving the account, and the rest of the generals also shook their heads when they saw him like this, but they couldn't help but pat the second general's shoulder lightly to show comfort, and soon only the hateful two were left.
Han Tianlin is somewhat better, along the way, he has already seen Xin Congzong's virtue, and he is somewhat immune, so he said to Wei Dingguo: "Brother, don't go to your heart, that guy is this character, who let us ...... Cough! ”
Wei Dingguo shook his head, squeezing out a bitter smile on his face, "Brother Han, don't you know that my personality is small, personal honor and disgrace are small, and the court's suppression of thieves is big, how can I not tell the difference, but if they follow their temperament, they are afraid that this expedition will end hastily in the end, and it will be over!" ”
Han Tianlin was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence, "I hope that Mrs. Tong will have a way!" ”
Seeing that Han Tianlin said this, Wei Dingguo didn't have any good way, so he nodded, "That's the only way!" ”
Tong Guan fought the idea of a quick battle, and the sky only brightened on the second day, so the soldiers were fed with war meals and prepared to go out to fight.
Tong Guan rode on the high-headed horse, looked at Liangshan from a distance, only felt that the scenery was magnificent, it was a rare piece of good land, the horsewhip in his hand pointed far away, and said to it left and right: "Such a view, such a treasure land, is it actually occupied by those grass rebels, isn't it a big spoiling scenery, a waste of heaven and earth." ”
Zhou Xin, the eunuch of Songzhou Soldiers and Horses, has always been good at figuring out the intentions, and when he saw Tong Guan say this, he also echoed on the side: "Since Lord Taiwei likes this place so much, after the thieves are suppressed, why don't you start the Holy Lord, ask for this place, and use it as a fief of Lord Taiwei in the future, wouldn't it be beautiful!" ”
Tong Guan was angry on his face, but his heart was happy, "I have to say this again, you must know that the thunder, rain and dew are all graces of heaven, what the Holy God rewards, how can we sit courtiers discuss", Zhou Xin nodded again and again to apologize, and looked at the rows in front of him, the neat and solemn phalanx, and he was very proud in his heart, "With such a strong army, why worry about the thieves and thieves!" With that, he laughed.
When Xin Congzong heard Tong Guan's words, he pouted undeniably, drove the war horse directly, and came to Tong Guan, "Tai Lieutenant, the last general came here with the army, and he has not made an inch of merit so far.
Tong Guan Dayue said with a smile: "General Xin's martial arts are very brave, and he will definitely be able to succeed immediately, but he still needs to be more careful, you must know that Lin Chong and others are also skilled in martial arts!" ”
Xin Congzong agreed, but he didn't think so, he lifted his usual snake spear, urged the horse out of the battle, and shouted loudly towards the Liangshan camp: "I am under the seat of the Privy Council Tong Taiwei, and the Yanzhou soldiers and horses are also in charge of Xin Congzong. ”
The soldiers behind the battle listened to Xin Congzong's cheers, and they also shouted loudly, "Break the camp, no chickens and dogs will be left!" "Break the camp, no chickens and dogs will be left!" The sound is higher than the wave, the momentum is stronger than the wave, and there is a faint tendency to submerge Liangshan Dazhai.
Tong Guan smiled with satisfaction, pointed at Xin Congzong and said to the beautiful man on his side: "This Xin Congzong is really a fierce general, with such a character, I believe that this Liangshan Caokou will definitely be able to fight down." ”
Yumei was not as optimistic as Tong Guan in her heart, but she couldn't offend him on her face, and she was thinking about how to answer yes, so she heard a "crunch" from afar, and Liangshan Dazhai also opened it, and saw a general, holding a hammer and running out first, pointing at Xin Congzong and scolding: "Where did you come from, the bad breath boy, dare to make a big statement here, have you ever known Wu Luan Tingyu?" ”
"Luan Tingyu?" Xin Congzong pretended to shake his head ignorantly, "Where did you run out of the birdman, and you dare to shout in front of the general, I'm afraid that Liangshan didn't send you out to die?" I would have disdained to kill a nameless person like you, so you should go back and tell Nalin to rush out, lest you lose your life in vain! ”
Although Luan Tingyu is also a calm person, he still has the blood of a martial artist after all, where can he tolerate others to look down on him like this, and he was immediately furious, "Luan Mou has surpassed your death-conscious thing!" "Clamp the war horse hard, pick up the hammer directly in his hand, and hit it head.
"Look for death!" Xin Congzong's eyes flashed away, the tail of the snake spear in his hand picked up, swept over the hammer, the tip of the spear crossed an arc, and stabbed Luan Tingyu's throat, Luan Tingyu is not a simple person, retracted the hammer, swung gently, and swept away Xin Congzong's blow, the two came and went, turned over and over, and fought equally.
