Chapter 457: A Road from Ancient Huashan
Chapter 457 A road from Guhua Mountain
Helian Tieshu and Xiong Guangbi were very annoyed, and even a little aggrieved, according to the previous plan, they should have arrived at Quping Village quietly, and then broke through Quping Village with the power of thunder to capture and kill Tuoba Xu's father and daughter. But the result was much worse than expected, although Quping Village and the nearby party members had a lot of losses, among which Quping Village was burned down, but His Royal Highness King Xin wanted to kill the Tuoba father and daughter ran away. Because they have been guarding Yinzhou and Xiazhou, they are very aware of the importance of Tuoba Xuan's father and daughter, these two are the spiritual leaders of the contemporary Malkang Ministry, as long as one of these two people does not die, those remnants of the party rebellion will soon be regrouped.
In the secret letter of His Royal Highness King Xin, he asked them to kill Tuoba Xu's father and daughter, and after occupying Quping Village, they would immediately go out of Hengshan, and quickly occupy the commanding heights in the northeast of Yinchuan City. The plan is good, but unfortunately something has changed, and now Quping Village is in trouble here, Tuoba Xu's father and daughter are safe and sound, Xiong Guangbi really has no courage to send troops south without scruples, if at this time according to the original plan to go south to Hengshan without hesitation, and capture the city of Luowu. Tuoba Xuan's father and daughter don't need to do much, they only need to go out of the mountains and forests and go north to Shizhou or Xiazhou, which is enough for the Western Xia warriors to feel good. In order to complete the plan of His Royal Highness King Xin to attack the security army and secretly attack the city, most of the soldiers and horses in Yinzhou and Xiazhou have been thrown into the attack on Quping Village, and the rear is empty at this time, especially Shizhou and Xiazhou, adding up to less than 3,000 soldiers and horses. Compared with Luowu City, Xiazhou City is a thousand times more important?
Helian Tieshu plays some conspiracy. Trick tricks and return to the city. It is possible to march to war. After all, the overall layout is not a strong point, and after taking a sip of water, he opened his mouth and asked, "Old Xiong, what should I do now?" Go south according to the scheduled plan, or? ”
Xiong Guangbi shook his head very dryly, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face was extremely complicated. "No, Tuoba is an old fox, and if we go south according to the original plan, I'm afraid it will be too bad. In this way, you will lead 5,000 men and horses to stay in Quping Village, and the other 3,000 people will return to Shendui Station to prevent Tuoba and Dog from jumping over the wall in a hurry and going around behind us to fight Xiazhou City. ”
"Old Bear, is this all right? In the secret letter of His Royal Highness, he asked us to directly cross the Quping Village and cross the Hengshan Mountain to take the city of Luowu. You know the temper of the old highness. I'm afraid we're disobeying military orders like this."
Helian Tieshu didn't say the rest of the words. Because he believes that Xiong Guangbi can understand. His Royal Highness Li Bingzuo is a real soldier, he has no arrogance of the royal family at all, every step and every arrangement is very strict, it is precisely because of his strict management of the army, so his command can always play a stronger combat effectiveness than other troops. What happens if you violate military orders? There is no doubt about this, maybe others dare not touch him and Xiong Guangbi, but His Royal Highness will definitely dare.
The city is indeed very important, this inconspicuous place, occupies the advantage of the topography, and guards the junction of Yongxing Military Road and Hedong Road. Occupying this place can not only strategically deter Yinchuan City and the entire Suide army, but also block the connection between Fuzhong, Wuzhou City and the hinterland of Tongzhou. Of course, on the surface, the location of the city is also very delicate, it can be regarded as a typical place of four battles, except for the north side of the Hengshan Mountain, which is relatively safe, the other three sides will be attacked by others. But there is no need to worry about this at all, now Zhao Yougong and the Great Song Dynasty are obviously not on the same road, how can the Great Song Dynasty Court follow Zhao Yougong to fight the city? So it seems that the land of four battles is actually just a matter of guarding against Zhao Yougong. His Royal Highness wants to take the city of Oro, it is a clever plan that he has come up with with a lot of effort, as long as he takes the city of Oro, the balance maintained by Western Xia and Guanzhong for a hundred years will be broken.
What Helian Tieshu was worried about, how could Xiong Guangbi not know? He stretched out his hand and rubbed the rough stone surface, and after a while, he said with a cold face, "I will not accept the order of the foreign monarch, and after a while, I will repair a letter to the old highness to explain the situation, if the old highness insists on blaming, it will be impossible." General Helian, please be sure to guard the rear, wait for the reinforcements of His Royal Highness to arrive, and then divide your troops to gallop south to help Xiong. ”
The fighter plane is fleeting, and there can be no delay, Xiong Guangbi has his own judgment, and there may be a possibility of violating military law, but as long as he can take the city safely, it is worth it.
After discussing with Helian Tieshu, Xiong Guangbi led the 10,000 people under his command plus more than 2,000 people from Helian Tieshu to go south to Hengshan before dawn. Just as Xiong Guangbi was heading towards the middle of Hengshan, there was also a huge army of soldiers and horses stationed in the easternmost valley of Hengshan, and these soldiers and horses were the Dingguo army led by Wu Jue. Xu Laofu stood aside, talking about the situation in Quping Village, and Wu Jue's fingers lightly tapped his knees, meditating hard. The Xixia people arrived in the north of Quping Village at the end of the time, and fought with the children of the party when they were in the middle of the day, if nothing else, the battle should be resolved within half an hour, right? Wu Jue naturally has his own reasons for judging this, the Western Xia army is pressing, and the party will not fight hard, as long as they can evacuate safely, it is not impossible to give up Quping Village.
"Come on, hurry up and return to Pingrong Village, and let His Highness cooperate with us to capture Yinzhou City!" After the order was given, he was ordered to go on the horse and take the order.
At this time, Yang Zaixing, Qian Lin and Yue Fei were all there, Wu Jue looked at the three of them, and said in a majestic tone, "General Yang, please find some clothes worn by party members, the number is about five hundred." ”
"Whoa!" Yang Zaixing didn't ask much, since His Royal Highness pointed to Wu Jue as the main general, then he had to listen. As for why Wu Jue arranged it this way, it must have been carefully considered, right?
In the Dingguo Army, Yang Zaixing is very special, he was born in the palace guard, and his Royal Highness is like a brother, plus Wen Taowu strategy, so the people of the Dingguo Army have a lot of respect for him. Now that they see that he is at ease to listen to Wu Jue's command, Qian Lin and Yue Fei can't say anything. Wu Jue looked at Yang Zaixing, and smiled with relief in his heart, this Yang Shaolie is really extraordinary, and his future is limitless.
"General Qian, please lead people down the mountain, give this general a good look at Yinzhou City, as long as there is no change, wait for three o'clock in the unitary time, and attack Yinzhou City!"
A sneer crossed the corner of Wu Jue's mouth, his right fist was clenched tightly, and there was a monstrous confidence in his words. This is the first time that it has taken the lead. How can you disappoint Your Highness? Although His Highness said that there is no need to take the silver state. Even if he can't take Yinzhou, His Royal Highness won't blame him, but is he Wu Jue the kind of person who retreats in distress? Today, he wants to prove that he is no worse than Han Shizhong and Niu Gao, he has a strategy and strategy, and he can lead one side alone. If you can't attack hard, then outwit it.
Wu Jue is very confident. Qian Lin and Yue Fei glanced at each other, and both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes. Qian Lin had the heart to ask, but he was not from the Dingguo Army, and some words were not too good to ask, but Yue Fei didn't have so many scruples, and said, "General Wu, why do you have to wait until three o'clock in the unitary hour?" Now that there is still an hour before dawn, wouldn't it be better for us to raid Yinzhou directly? ”
Listened to Yue Fei's words. Wu Jue was a little unhappy in his heart, if he commanded the battle now. It was Han Shizhong or Niu Gao or Xiao Shuai who issued the military order, would Yue Fei still ask such a thing? The answer is no, Yue Fei will definitely not ask more, in the final analysis, his prestige is not as good as Han Shizhong and Niu Gao, but it doesn't matter, after this war, no one dares to underestimate him Wu Jue.
"General Yue, this will be arranged like this, it makes sense, don't ask more!" Wu Jue didn't explain much, and he didn't say it to prevent the plan from leaking.
After Wu Jue left, Yue Fei raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth and spat on the ground, he was about to say something, Yang Zaixing snorted coldly, kicked Yue Fei's waist, and used three points of force this time, but Yue Fei was defenseless, and he was still kicked to the ground. Yue Fei was only eighteen years old, and it was when his blood was strong, they glared at each other and said angrily, "Brother Yang, what are you doing?" ”
"Yue Pengju, you remember to Lao Tzu that General Wu is the chief general personally appointed by His Royal Highness, and if you don't give General Wu face at this time, you won't give His Highness a son. This is the first time, I will spare you, if you dare to be disrespectful to General Wu next time and cause discord in the army, Lao Tzu will throw you into the pit! Yang Zaixing looked at Yue Fei coldly, Yue Fei did not show weakness, staring back, but after a while, the head still drooped, and the urn said angrily, "Okay, Brother Yang, the younger brother knows." ”
Qian Lin also came up to be a peacemaker at this time, and Yang Zaixing had a military order in his body, so he didn't want to worry more about Yue Fei, so he gave a few more instructions before leaving. Waiting for Yang Zaixing to leave, Yue Fei rubbed his ass and complained, "This Brother Yang is really, really hard." ”
"Pengju, you too, how can you talk and do things without putting in a bit? If it was General Niu or General Han standing in front of you, would you still dare to have this attitude? ”
"Isn't this little brother unconvinced? How can he, Wu Jue, be the main general, even Brother Yang is no worse than him, yes, don't talk about it, General Qian, don't you still want to go to the vicinity of Yinzhou to keep an eye on, don't you hurry up? ”
Yue Fei was quite open-minded, and Qian Lin was also helpless, so he had to tell Yue Fei not to cause trouble again, and then rushed down the mountain before dawn.
At that time, Pingrong Village. Zhao Yougong patrolled in the army, Ye Jingtang has been following closely, in the past two days, Ye Jingtang is also familiar with this strange His Royal Highness King Qin, he found that this Royal Highness is not as ruthless as rumored, at least in normal times, the attitude is still very peaceful, there is no bloodthirsty and murderous appearance at all, that handsome appearance, a silver chain mail, like a rare Confucian general.
Two scout horses galloped into the camp, and a knight ran in front of Zhao Yougong, bowed and said, "Your Highness, General Wu urgently reports that the army has arrived in Hengshan, and General Wu hopes that His Highness can cooperate with the Hengshan army." ”
Got to Yokoyama? Zhao Yougong understood what Wu Jue meant, the army went out of Hengshan to seize Yinzhou City, but it was actually extremely dangerous, and it was not possible to annihilate the whole army, because there were not only 20,000 male soldiers of Helian Tieshu and Xiong Guangbi in the west of Yinzhou, but Li Bingzuo's 30,000 troops could also cross Longzhou and rush east at any time. Is Wu Jue afraid of Helian Tieshu and Xiong Guangbi? Of course not, what he was afraid of was Li Bingzuo and the more than 30,000 Western Xia soldiers, the pressure on Wu Jue's side was too great, and he could suffer a catastrophe at any time. How to share some pressure for Wu Jue? Almost in a moment, Zhao Yougong made a decision, that is, to take the initiative to send troops to attack Longzhou. Longzhou is between Hongzhou and Yinzhou, Li Bingzuo galloped to the east, if you don't want to take a long detour, you must pass through Longzhou City. Attacking Longzhou slowed down the eastward advance of Li Bingzuo's army.
Ye Jingtang was behind him, and he wondered in his heart, what did he do to cooperate with the army? Two days ago, Wu Jue left the camp and didn't know where to go, and went to Hengshan for a long time, at this time Hengshan was in crisis, where were the party members and the Western Xia soldiers, the forces were staggered, and they ran there, didn't they bury their lives in vain? And what is it said to cooperate with the operation of the army, what can be done there? Hehe, the only thing you can see in that place is Yinzhou City, do you want to fight Yinzhou City, what are you kidding?
Ye Jingtang shook his head gently, looking very helpless, he felt that it was ridiculous to fight Yinzhou City, but in fact, Wu Jue wanted to fight Yinzhou.
Zhao Yougong returned to the tent, closed his eyes and pondered, there is only one road in front of him now, that is, to attack Longzhou, only by fighting Longzhou, Li Bingzuo will feel pain, and then leave most of the soldiers and horses near Longzhou. (To be continued......)
