"A hundred straight from the horse? Is it really good to joke like this? Li Congjing wailed in his heart, "What is the use of a hundred straight horses?" I'm not you Li Cunxuan, people fought in front of the army, and the domineering leaked for a while, and the Liang army fled from the wind......"

"You also know that now the main forces of our Liang army are in Zhenzhou and Youzhou, and this king is going south this time, and only 5,000 people from Ma Zhi are in the army. At present, Liang General Duan Ning leads tens of thousands of troops in Weizhou, how can this king have a thousand from the horse to you. Li Cunmiao patted Li Congjing's shoulder, and said seriously, "Actually, the key to your going to the Acropolis and Qimen is not to fight, but to capture." Therefore, it can be done without a large army, but the size of the success is different. ”

"Even so, a hundred people is far from enough!" Li Congjing cried with a sad face, if it weren't for the dignified King Jin who was talking to him, he really wanted to imprint the soles of his shoes on his face.

"Among the hosts, you are like a bag to take the head, and this little thing should be no problem." Li Cunqiao said awe-inspiringly.

Li Congjing wanted to turn around and leave, this is not the same thing at all, okay.

"That's it, why bother." Li Cunqiao waved his hand, only then did he stop teasing Li Congjing, and he got up, "There are not many defenders in Weizhou, and the casualties in the battle for days are not small, since you are the deputy commander, then you can only transfer 400 men and horses, plus 100 from the horses, to make up 500." ”

"King Xie Jin!" Li Congjing was a little relieved at this time, thinking that this Li Cunqiao was really naughty, and he dared to tease himself. Suddenly remembered a person, so he said: "Li Rong, the scout team who went to the detective Liang camp with the last general yesterday, Yu Mojiang's action was useful, and I also asked the king of Jin for permission to transfer the last general." ”

"That's right." Li Cunqiao waved his hand, "The four hundred Wei Bo troops and one hundred Congma Zhi will be assembled at the south gate tomorrow." At that time, the army will be drawn up, and the king will go to Xiangzhou, and you will go to the Acropolis. Although there is no great danger in this battle, you should not be careless, you should be cautious, and do not disappoint the king. Did you know? ”

"The last general understands, the grace of King Xie Jin." Li Congjing thanked him. This battle seems to be difficult, but if it can be achieved, it is really a great opportunity, and Li Cunqiao's attention and cultivation are self-evident.

When Li Congjing withdrew from the Assassin's Mansion, the city of Weizhou was already in a hazy night. The stars are still overhead, and the night is like ink under the stars.

After a big war, the city of Weizhou, which was wrapped in boundless darkness, was like a light bulb that suddenly lit up, rejuvenated, and the brightly lit streets made Li Congjing seem to see the neon on the street in his previous life.

Li Congjing walked forward silently, and he didn't know how far he went, he stopped gently, stood alone, and silently stared at the prosperity in front of him, feeling a little dazed. It was as if he had fallen into a tunnel of time and space, thrown into the parallel space of the universe, and for a while he didn't know where to go, and even forgot who he was and where he was.

The more you are in the crowd, the more you can clearly feel the loneliness.

The next day, the sky was not yet completely bright, and the army that was about to go out had already assembled in the south of the city. Li Congjing rode out of the outer city of Yacheng, followed by a commander of Wei Bojun. This conductor is much older than Li Congjing, his body has nothing to do with the burly, his cheeks are slightly sunken, and his eyes are slightly protruding, and his eyes are always moving.

Wei Bojun transferred 400 sergeants to assist Li Congjing in the battle, and this general named He Chong was the commander of this group of Wei Bo army. However, although He Chong is the commander, he still has to listen to Li Congjing's dispatch in this operation. Although Li Congjing is only a deputy commander, after all, he is the deputy commander of Ma Zhi, and his weight is naturally not the same as that of the commander of the local town army.

The most important thing is Li Congjing's command, which was designated by Li Cunqing.

It's just that although He Chong is respectful on his face, Li Congjing can always faintly feel that the other party doesn't seem to be 100% sincere to him. People are sometimes so sensitive, and there are always some inexplicable intuitions about the hostility and kindness of others.

Li Cunqiao hadn't arrived yet, so Li Congjing went to his military formation first to take a look. Of the four hundred Wei Bo army, only about two teams are cavalry, but this is normal, cavalry is expensive, and it is normal that there are not many in Fang Zhen's army - the key is that even if there are many, people may not be willing to use them.

Hundreds of people from Ma Zhi, is the establishment of a capital, the head of the capital is called Li Shaocheng - as the Jin King's army from Ma Zhi, in order to ensure its loyalty, more than half of the officers are surnamed Li, even if they are not surnamed Li, they will be given the surname Li, which is also a major feature of this era - but he is a young offspring in his early twenties, with a cold color on his upright facial features, and the whole person stands on a horse, which is integrated with the war horse, full of iron and blood.

"By the order of the King of Jin, the last general will lead a hundred from Ma Zhi and obey the command of Li!" Li Shaocheng took two steps forward, and his voice was straight and loud.

"There is a head of Lao Li." Li Congjing nodded.

Suddenly, a group of more than a dozen cavalry people walked over, led by a general in the prime of life, and his eagle-like eyes revealed a vicious aura, it was Li Rong.

"Commander Lee." Li Rong dismounted and hugged his fist at Li Congjing, "According to the military order, the scout team is coming to Li Rong to obey the order." ”

Li Congjing smiled slightly, didn't say much, and waved his hand, "Join the ranks." ”

At this point, a glimmer of light rose in the sky.

Li Cunmiao went out of the city under the escort of a group of personal guards, and after a brief explanation, he let the army move. Before leaving, Li Cunqiao called Li Congjing over and told him again, "Be careful in everything, be thorough, and don't be ruthless." ”

After Ma Zhi and Wei Bojun's main force moved south, Li Congjing saw that the red sun was peeking out from behind the ridge, and he smiled to himself. He immediately turned around solemnly and issued his first command order in this era, "Li Rong, I will order you to lead the scouts to rush to the Acropolis first, find out the internal and external conditions, and open the way for the army!" ”

"Li Rong takes the order!" Li Rong hugged his fists and agreed, and then led more than ten scouts and galloped away.

Where the army is marching, the scouts must be five to ten miles away, if it is a large army, the range of scout detectives is much wider, this is the standard scout, whether it is from Ma Zhi or Wei Bojun, there is no shortage of such sergeants. However, Li Rong, who was sent out by Li Congjing, did not advance with the army at a normal speed, but went straight to the Acropolis at full speed to find out the situation of the Acropolis, so the task was even more arduous.

Immediately, Li Congjing waved his hand, "The whole army is out!" ”

In the sound of rumbling footsteps, Li Congjing glanced back and saw that the white-haired general Wu Jingzhong was still standing in front of the city gate, talking about something with the people around him.

"General, the King of Jin asked Li Congjing to attack the Acropolis and Qimen, but it is equivalent to giving away military merits for nothing, but he prefers it tightly." Wu Jingzhong's henchmen said sourly.

"King Jin acts, how can you talk about it?" Wu Jingzhong said coldly.

"The subordinates lost their words......" The henchman hurriedly retracted his words, but he didn't know what kind of anger Wu Jingzhong was angry with.

Wu Jingzhong looked at the departing Southern Expeditionary Army, the expression on his face had nothing to do with his kind eyebrows, half a sound, and finally asked: "Have you explained everything to He Chong?" ”

"General, rest assured, your meaning has been conveyed to He Chong word for word." The confidant said, sinister smile, "He Chong is a clever person, he knows what to do." ”

Wu Jingzhong nodded "um" and said no more.

The henchman rolled up his sleeves and sneered in his heart: Li Congjing, Li Congjing, do you really think that with King Jin's love, young heroes can run rampant in all directions? Wei Bojun and Liang Jun have been fighting hard for a long time, the city has almost been lost, you are the main general who killed the enemy in the ten thousand armies, and you have lost the town, I can't wait for everyone in the world to know that the Liang army is vulnerable in front of you, where do you let Wei Bojun's face go?

Gongcheng is only more than 80 miles away from Weizhou, and it is only a day or two away from the marching army. Li Congjing went back to recover the city, there were only 500 people in total, and he didn't bring much baggage, the whole army was light and simple, the soldiers only brought three days of military rations, and there was no siege equipment. This greatly increased the speed of the army's march, and at his deliberate request, five hundred men set out early in the morning, and reached the Acropolis before the sun had set.

Li Congjing has been promoted to commander, although he is still only a deputy position, but it can be seen from the fact that he led 500 men out on the expedition this time, and after this battle, he will be the commander. As a commander, there are guards, and Li Congjing is not hypocritical, and before leaving, he transferred the team where he was in the previous team to his side and became a temporary guard.

As a result, there were actually more than 120 people around him.

The reason why it is temporary is because Congma Zhi is Li Cunqing's pro-army, and Li Congjing doesn't know if Li Cunqiao will take these people back afterwards. But Li Congjing knew that this was the case and asked Li Cunqiao for these people, which shows that he planned to lazy down the more than 100 people from the horse - how could there be any reason to spit out the fat in his mouth? Even if there are no less than 100 people at that time, at least 20 or so guards will be lazy.

"Commander, Li Rong is back." Zhang Xiaowu pointed to the two riding lanes running back on the official road, he had just been temporarily appointed by Li Congjing as the leader of this team.

Li Congjing also saw Li Rong, and the scouts in front of him waved the flag and told the army that their own scouts had returned.

"Commander, the subordinate is back." During the march, Li Rong did not dismount.

"How's it going?" Li Congjing asked.

"According to the situation of the Acropolis' defense, the Liang army of the Acropolis has about two commanded forces, and the city gate has been closed and is very well prepared. The Liang army scouts were not far away, but there were quite a few of them. Li Rong explained the situation one by one, and Li Congjing frowned slightly after hearing this: A thousand Liang troops, a little too much.

The Acropolis was just an ordinary county, and the Jin army stationed here at that time was only a commander, so how could the Liang army, as the attacker, station a thousand Liang troops in the Acropolis?

And the core of the problem is that 500 people will attack the city of 1,000 people, and this battle will not be won.

"After exploration, the subordinates found that there were a large number of traces of personnel activities outside the acropolis." Li Rong continued, "Yesterday, the army defeated the Liang army outside the city of Weizhou, and the Liang army fled a lot, and because of the loss of the main general, the action could not be unified, so it should be that many people fled to the Acropolis. ”

Li Congjing nodded secretly when he heard this, which can also explain why there are a thousand Liang troops in the Acropolis, and then look at Li Rongshi's eyes with a touch of appreciation - this is the difference between the old scout and the ordinary scout, the old scout can always see something that the ordinary scout can't see.

Thinking of this, Li Congjing already had a draft of the next battle in his heart, and immediately called Li Shaocheng, the head of Ma Zhidu, to explain it in detail, and after finishing speaking, he told Li Shaocheng and Li Rong: "After the matter is completed, go ten miles south and join the army at Luoyankou." ”

The two of them hugged their fists and promised, pulled out their horses and left.

After that, Li Congjing gave an order to the whole army: "The army bypasses the Acropolis, travels ten miles south, and camps at Luoyankou!" ”

He Chong, who was silently walking in front of the army, looked at Li Congjing's dispatch of all parties but did not know why, his protruding eyes turned twice, and he fell into thought.
