Chapter 449: The Storm Rises
Xiao Kai stood in the mess of the camp of the Yue Guo's right army originally stationed in Xingshan County, his eyes were blank. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhere did the tens of thousands of Right Route Army go?
He received a secret order from Kaiping County to the commander of the Right Route Army, Chen Ci, on the secret order of the marshal Xiao Zhenggang. With the news of Luo Yishui's reappearance has passed almost a month, recently there is intelligence that the front army Pan Hong's department has obvious changes, and the Qin army opposite the right army is even more frequent troop persuasion, which makes Xiao Zhenggang extremely worried, the left army has begun to prepare for war, and Xiao Zhenggang wrote a letter to ask Chen Ci to pay close attention to the movements of the Qin army and the front army Pan Hong, if there is any change, the right army will cooperate closely with the left army, and all possibilities should be strangled in the blue as soon as possible.
But now, where did the Right Army go?
Without the transfer order of the Marshal's Office, the Right Army acted without authorization and had already begun to move? Xiao Kai does not rule out this possibility, you must know that Chen Ci and Luo's have always been at odds, is it that Chen Ci thinks he has seized the opportunity and can't wait to take revenge? Or did Chen Ci find out that Luo Yishui had mastered Pan Hongbu, and Chen Ci didn't have time to report to the Shuaifu, so he acted first?
There was a nervous thought in his head, and there was no idea at all. If this is the case, Chen Ci can at least send a letter to the Marshal Mansion of Kaiping County? Could it be that he was in a hurry along the way, and missed the messenger?
Xiao Kai felt that his brain was a little messy.
The 50,000 troops of the Right Route Army suddenly left their defense line, which was a big deal, the most obvious being that the door of their defense line was wide open, and if the Qin soldiers attacked, the spearhead would be directed at Kaiping County.
Chen Ci is a veteran, how could such a mistake occur?
"General Xiao, I found a few local people!" Several of his own soldiers came on horseback, and their horses were carrying a man dressed as a local citizen.
Grabbed by these fierce soldiers and pressed on their horses all the way, several people were already bloodless on their faces, and the soldiers still dismounted, standing in front of Xiao Kai, trembling all over.
"Don't be afraid, do you know where the troops used to be stationed here have gone?" Xiao Kai squeezed out a smile on his face, reached out and took out a few dimes of broken silver from his arms, and threw them to the trembling people.
Either the silver played a role, or Xiao Kai had a kind face, and a few people finally calmed down, "This official, the army stationed here has all left a few days ago. Those of us are just picking up some things that the army has thrown away, and we haven't done anything to be traitors. An older citizen's voice trembled a little.
"How many days have you been gone?" Xiao Kai asked.
"It should be five or six days, right?" The people tilted their heads and thought for a moment, "We don't know the specifics. In the past, we used to come outside the barracks to do some small business, but when we arrived here early a few days ago, it was like this, there were no people, no business to do, but there were many useful things discarded here, and we came here every day to pick them up. ”
"Five or six days?" Xiao Kai shuddered, "Then do you know which direction they went?" ”
Another villager pointed in one direction: "It should be in that direction." ”
Looking at the direction pointed by the villagers, Xiao Kai's eyes were dark, and he almost fell off his horse, the direction pointed by the villagers turned out to be the direction of Kaiping County, Chen Ci was not ordered by the commander, what does it mean that the whole army pulled out the camp and marched in the direction of the Chinese army?
Several other soldiers also realized the seriousness of the problem, and everyone's faces turned a little pale, and only after a while did they say: "General Xiao, it is unlikely that it is in the direction of Kaiping County, otherwise the army of tens of thousands of people, how can we find traces on the road." ”
Xiao Kai took a deep breath, Chen Ci's army was indeed not going to the county town, but they must have let go of the defense line because of something, Chen Ci fled without a fight, and the departure of the 50,000 army would make the Qin army drive straight in.
"You two, immediately rush to Fang County to see what is the situation of Pan Hong's former army there? After finding out the situation, you don't have to come to report to me, report to Xiao Shuai immediately. He snapped.
"Yes!"
"You two, immediately rush back to Kaiping County and make it clear to the marshal that the whereabouts of Chen Ci's headquarters of the right army are unknown." When he said this, Xiao Kai could feel that his voice was trembling a little, and he forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
"Yes, but General, we're all gone, where are you going?" A soldier asked.
Xiao Kai took a deep breath, "I'll go ahead and take a look." ”
"Ahead is the Qin-controlled area." One soldier asked.
"There's nothing to worry about, I'm alone, even if there is any situation, it's easy to get out or hide, I have to figure out the situation, you guys, leave immediately!" Xiao Kai replied.
Several soldiers galloped in different directions, Xiao Kai turned his head to look at the few people around him who were still nervous and said, "Go back, tell all the people you can see, let them flee quickly, I'm afraid something will happen." ”
"This official, is there going to be a war again?" The villagers kept swallowing, their throats going up and down, and they looked extremely nervous.
"yes, there's going to be a war, there's going to be a big war." Xiao Kai muttered, pulled the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head, and galloped forward.
About an hour later, Xiao Kai had arrived at the forefront of the original Yue people's line of control, there was originally a small sentry here, a stone tower about ten meters high stood tall, standing on the top of the tower, you can monitor the enemy situation about a few miles away, but now, there is no one stationed at this sentry post, tethering the war horse outside, he walked quickly into the tower, the area where the soldiers rest and live in the stone tower is already a mess, it seems that they left in a hurry, and a lot of things have been lost. Stepping up to the top of the tower, on the beacon for warning, where is it still well placed. Holding the edge of the tower with both hands, he breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the empty field ahead.
The afternoon sun was a little dazzling, and he sat down tiredly, took out a bag of dry food from his bosom, scooped a scoop of water from the bucket at the top of the tower, and ate the dry food with gusto.
Something must have happened to Chen Ci's department, but what happened to make an army of 50,000 people leave suddenly? Xiao Kai was puzzled. If this happened to Pan Hong's subordinates, he could still understand it, but when it happened to Chen Ci, he didn't understand it at all.
Chen Ci and Luo's are mortal enemies.
Xiao Kai suddenly fought a cold war, and he thought of a possibility, a possibility that seemed whimsical, but could solidly solve the doubts in his heart now.
Chen Ci and Luo's have no hatred at all, everything they used to do was pretended to be shown to others, so that no one in the world would have thought that Chen Ci was actually Luo's person.
He coughed violently, his mouth full of powder squirted out, pounded his chest hard, and poured a few more mouthfuls of water, he was frightened by his own thoughts.
If this is true, then Luo Yishui now has 50,000 people under Chen Ci's department, as well as 30,000 people under Pan Hong's department, and an army of 80,000 people, which is more than half of the troops of Yue Guo in the border.
He coughed red-faced, and lay on his stomach, retching and tearing up. The water in the bucket that stood in front of him suddenly rippled, rippled outward from the center, hit the wall of the bucket, and then splashed out.
The heavy barrel was actually beating slightly in the sound of stomping, and the entire stone tower seemed to be shaking, Xiao Kai jumped up all of a sudden, his eyes widened, and he looked at the wilderness that was empty before.
A black line appeared in the sky, quickly approaching this side, although the fluttering flag could not see the pattern and font on it, but the familiar style made Xiao Kai's heart instantly cold.
The Qin people are here!
And the most terrifying thing is not that the Qin people came, but that the Yue people themselves were in chaos. Chen Ci, who was supposed to be stationed on the defense line, is gone, even Chen Ci is gone, is Pan Hong's department in Nafang County still reliable? The Qin border army even generously took out all the large-scale cavalry that they had never been reluctant to use, which means that they were determined to win, and they already knew the inside story here.
Took out the fire fold from his arms, his hand was shaking, and it took several times to shake the fire fold and throw it into the beacon tower, watching the beacon fire of the warning slowly ignite, wisps of green smoke floated up, Xiao Kai ran down the stone tower, climbed on the war horse, and galloped towards the rear.
It was useless to warn, because there was not a single soldier in his rear at all, and at most it would cause a small trouble to the Qin people. Now all he had to think about was how to escape.
I hope that the soldiers he sent out to report to Xiao Shuai can arrive in time so that Xiao Shuai can react in time.
Xiao Kai's judgment was not wrong, this time the Qin army was indeed pouring out, and even the cavalry that they were reluctant to use until the critical moment were all taken out at one time, for the border army of Qin, the cavalry is a luxury of troops, once used, the silver money will be like flowing water, for them, it is a heavy burden.
But this time is different, they must rush to Kaiping County in the shortest time, surround and divide the Vietnamese army commander Xiao Zhenggang, and take Kaiping County in the shortest time, occupy the entire territory of Kaiping, and achieve the pre-war goal.
Although there is an agreement with Luo Yishui, how can Li Zhi not put all the treasure on Luo Yishui's body, in case the Qin army's attack on Kaiping County is not obstructed, how can he guarantee that Luo Yishui will not suddenly fight back, and simply destroy the Qin army first?
He is a Yue man after all.
As a commander, Li Zhi couldn't help but be wary of whether Luo Yishui would use the trick of luring the enemy in, let himself join Xiao Zhenggang first, and then he would pick up the bargain.
can only destroy Xiao Zhenggang with lightning speed, so that Luo Yishui's possible trick will not have time to be used at all. (To be continued.) )
