The crescent moon in the sky hid shyly and timidly in the thin clouds, and there was only a faint dim light between heaven and earth, and everything could only roughly see a vague shadow.

Gao Daquan sat on his horse, quietly looking ahead, like a sculpture.

There was a strange birdsong in the night, and Gao Daquan raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look over.

A light figure flashed out of the night, walked quickly to the tall horse, and said in a low voice: "Commander, the Jiaozhi people in front have just woken up, and they are burying the pot for cooking, and the fire has not yet been lit!" ”

"Well, the timing is just right! Return to the team and get ready to fight the Cochins! ”

Looking at the dark night ahead, Gao Daquan gritted his teeth and said to the heralds beside him: "Go to the back and give orders to the commanders, the whole army will move forward quietly, don't lose it!" Also, when I heard the sound of the horn, I rushed forward with all my might, and each of them looked for the Jiaozhi people to fight, and the sun rose and followed me out of the battlefield, and I went to the front to find another opportunity! ”

The herald answered and went to the rear.

When he came out at that time, Xu Ping gave Gao Daquan the task of harassing the Jiaozhi soldiers and increasing the difficulty of the supply of grain and grass for Jiaozhi, and the other was to show the existence of the Song army and make the local officials and Jiaozhi centrifuge from Germany.

These two tasks have been completed well, and even some local officials have clearly expressed their willingness to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and the northern part of Jiaozhi has begun to have an undercurrent.

The current situation Xu Ping didn't expect at all, and of course he didn't give any special orders, it was Gao Daquan who got the news. Hurry up the march with his men.

He had no more than 2,000 cavalry under his command. After many more days of fighting. Of course, I don't dare to swallow more than 10,000 elite soldiers in one bite. As long as the marching steps of the Jiaozhi people are disrupted at the right time, so that the Song army chasing behind can follow in time, so choose such a time.

Li Renyi was woken up by his own soldiers, and asked sleepily, "What time is it?" Is the meal ready? ”

The soldier said: "I am making a fire, and last night I was lucky enough to find a sheep and roast it for the senior official for breakfast!" ”

Li Renyi nodded in satisfaction, sat up and rubbed his sore legs. For many years, he has been enjoying pure happiness in the palace. Where has this kind of suffering been? After a few days, I felt that I couldn't bear it.

At this moment, a dull horn broke through the silence of the night, and the frightened birds in the surrounding mountains and forests flew into the air, and the whole world was filled with a kind of panic.

Li Renyi was so frightened that he almost rolled to the ground. After just giving up 3,000 people yesterday, why did the Song army catch up so quickly? These more than 10,000 people are Jiaozhi elite soldiers, and they can't be defeated casually, so they have to drag the Song army for a day and a half.

As soon as the morning dawned, Xu Ping took Tan Hu and Lu Fang and two thousand township soldiers out of Nanlangzhou City, and rushed all the way to the south. After figuring it out last night. Xu Ping's mentality finally changed, and he was determined to go to the front to personally supervise the battle. Wipe out the defeated Jiaozhi army north of the Fura River, so as not to leave trouble for the successors.

Looking at history in my previous life, I often saw which commanders were careless for a while, and in the end they fell short or something, which made future generations extremely regretful. Now that I am facing this situation, I can't let this happen to me.

Out of the valley and all the way south, Xu Ping looked at the low and undulating hills on both sides of the road, the sparse farmland and villages, and felt more and more that his choice was a wise move.

The terrain here is also suitable for growing sugar cane, which can expand the sugar industry here. According to the practice of Yongzhou, this land will eventually be inseparable from the Central Plains. And the land here is more fertile, unlike Yongzhou, where there are limestone everywhere, and the rain can't retain nutrients, so it can feed more people.

In this era, due to technical limitations, the swampy delta area is not easy to develop, unless the manpower is particularly sufficient, and there must be strong organizational skills, such as the Liangzhejiang Road, which has been on scale for hundreds of years.

On the contrary, these low, hilly areas, because they are not flooded, are more suitable for agricultural reclamation, and although the potential is not as large as that of the delta areas further south, it takes a short time and the results are quick.

The front has been swept by the Song army brigade, there is no obstruction, and there are local officials along the way who consciously supply grain and grass, Xu Ping walked quite smoothly, and the speed of progress is also very fast. On the third day, they finally caught up with the brigade of Sang Yi, Zhang Rong and Han Daocheng.

Several people got the report and came over to salute Xu Ping.

Xu Ping saw that Gao Daquan was also with a few people, nodded and said, "It turns out that you have already joined them, why didn't you intercept the Jiaozhi rout in front?" ”

Gao Daquan saluted with his crossed hands: "Official, the Jiaozhi rout was stopped by me, Inspector Sang and others rushed over, and we have already eliminated them together!" Li Renyi, the overseer sent by Thang Long Mansion, was also arrested and held in the barracks in front of him, should the officials interrogate him? ”

Xu Ping was stunned, but he didn't expect that he was just coming for nothing, looked at a few people and asked, "When did it happen?" ”

Sang Yi said: "The day before yesterday, Gao Daquan stopped the Jiaozhi rout, yesterday Han Daocheng arrived first, Zhang Rong and I rushed around noon, and we won a big victory in the afternoon!" ”

"Why didn't you notify me in time?"

Xu Ping was slightly displeased, such a big thing, they should have reported it overnight, but they were still anxious on the road, but several leading officers were resting here.

Sang Yi had a strange expression on his face, glanced at the other people, and said to Xu Ping: "A few of us are still discussing how to repay, and we don't want the officials to come." ”

Xu Ping glanced at a few people, knowing that they must have something difficult to explain to themselves, and one by one they pretended to be ghosts, so he said: "If you have anything to say, let's go to the barracks and talk about it." ”

When he arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, Xu Ping sat down on the main seat, and the soldiers served tea. Xu Ping drank the tea slowly, and then asked a few people in a deep voice: "Say, what are you discussing?" ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Sang Yi said: "Official, a few of us are here to discuss, whether to retreat according to the official's orders, or—"

"Or what?"

Sang Yi looked at Xu Ping's face and said carefully: "It's better to march into Shenglong Mansion!" ”

"What?" Xu Ping stood up and looked at the few people standing in front of him.

Sang Yi said: "Gao Daquan has been coming and going by the Fuliang River these days, and he has inquired clearly, and now there are only 5,000 Jiaozhi elite soldiers in Shenglong Mansion, and the others are just errand soldiers and the like, which are not worth mentioning." We have five or six thousand cavalry here, more than 10,000 infantry troops, maybe we can give it a try. ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "Shenglong Mansion is the city of Jiaozhi King, the city is strong, and it is guarded by 5,000 people, even if there are 50,000 people to attack, it is not urgent to be able to defeat it." Besides, when is it? It's the end of March, and the rainy season is coming soon, and as the days go by, there is no supply of grain and grass at all. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ping sighed: "Not to mention, the Fuliang River in front has always been used as a barrier to Shenglong Mansion, and it has been operating for many years, and it is difficult to cross the river." ”

Gao Daquan stepped forward and said: "In front of the Fuliang River, all the ferries have been collected, and it is difficult to cross the river. However, more than 50 miles upstream, there is a place where you can cross the river. A few days ago, I was scaring the Jiaozhi people along the river, and I accidentally found that a local official had left a ferry, and I saved it on the spur of the moment. ”

"That's why we're here to discuss—"

Sang Yi said, looking at Xu Ping with the others.

(I feel like I've been so wasted lately, it's just the feeling that I can't write, and I was supposed to add more to the alliance leader on the weekend, but I couldn't write anything, so I had to push it back.) Maybe after writing this plot, my state will be better. Now my mind is full of the plot of returning to the capital later, which is really annoying. ）

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
