Chapter 399: The Four Tigers of the Xue Family
The ancient pass of the Linyu Great Wall in Lulong County, Beiping County, the pass that the Central Plains must pass through to enter Liao, has always been praised by a husband as a pass.
However, since Liaodong Chen Ke recovered, Yang Guang was no longer at ease about this Xiongguan in the world. Thinking about it, the gunpowder weapon in Chen Kefu's hand can be exploded along with the fortress of the new city, and this Linyu Pass is just one
Piles of dead things piled up in masonry. This time, Yang Guang finally decided to conquer the Turks first, although he transferred 100,000 soldiers and horses from the Liao army, and transferred away the generals, but in the end, it was Li Jing, the general of the Right Wuwei, who was in command and commanded a full ten
The 50,000-strong army guarded this pass, for fear that Chen Kefu would break through the pass.
On the high head of Xiongguan, Li Jing looked at the distance outside the pass with a heavy face in armor.
When the weather is good, you can clearly see the Liaodong army stationed there.
"Alas!" Li Jing sighed.
A general who was about thirty years old behind him said, "Why worry about the marshal, there is a marshal guarding this pass, and there are only 100,000 thieves in Liaodong, what kind of waves can be set off?" The young general who spoke was Li Jing's nephew.
His father was Xue Wanche, the fourth son of Xue Shixiong, the general of the Zuo Imperial Guard and the Taishou of Zhuojun, and next to him, there were three generals of the same age.
Those three people are all Xue Wanche's elder brothers, Wan Shu, Wan Shu, Wan Jun, these four brothers were born in a family of military generals, and they all have good martial arts, and among them, the old 30,000 Jun and the old 40,000 are even more capable of writing and martial arts. Now he is the best of the young generation of generals in Big Oak, and the four brothers are known as the four tigers of the Xue family. Historically, the third and fourth children later voted for Tang and became the general and the prince of the country.
This time, Xue Shixiong was summoned by Yang Guang to Liaodong, but the four brothers stayed in Linyu Pass, although the four brothers were young, but the eldest and second of them were all five-grade eagle generals, and the third and fourth were from the fourth-grade Huya Lang generals. A family of five generals is a family of military generals.
Li Jingjiu Zhen Hebei, in the Hebei army is highly respected, in addition to his subordinate Hu Benlang general Luo Yi has always been at odds, Hebei's lieutenant generals and colonels have not disrespected him. Looking at the fourth tiger of the Xue family, Li Jing smiled.
"You take a closer look at the camp of the Liaodong Army outside the gate to see if there have been any changes in the past few days?"
The four tigers all stared wide-eyed and looked carefully at the Liaodong Army camp in the morning light in the distance, trying to find out what had changed.
A burst of footsteps came, and a thick voice sounded, "Since three days ago, every day when the sky is about to dawn, there will be a troop of soldiers and horses arriving in the east of the Liaodong Army camp. It's been three days in a row, and that's been the case
One day, the people who came were playing the Mao character flag, and it was estimated that there should be about 10,000 people. And yesterday it was the Li Zijiang flag, and the number of people was also about 10,000. And just now, another army of about 20,000 people opened
When he arrived at the camp of the Liaodong Army, he was beaten by Chen Zi Daxu. ”
Hearing this interjection, Li Jing frowned, and the person who came didn't need to look at him to know that it was Luo Yi, the tiger general under his account. This subordinate is Li Jing's least favorite subordinate, when he first arrived in the river
North, this guy is already his subordinate, and after so many years, the two have been working together. It's just that the relationship between the two is only getting worse and worse, and earlier in the year, Luo Yi even falsely accused the emperor of rebellion, which made him almost have an accident, which made Li
Jing didn't like this unruly subordinate even more.
However, although Luo Yi has a bad character and always sings against him, this guy is very capable of leading soldiers and is also very good at fighting. There are 5,000 cavalry under his subordinates, but there are 3,000 Youzhou iron cavalry armored cavalry equipped with cavalry.
It is precisely because he can fight and train soldiers, coupled with his good relationship with many ministers in the DPRK and China, coupled with the intentional connivance of today's son, that Luo Yi restrained Li Jing. Only then did De Luo Yi have no fear, and he didn't put his direct boss at all
eyes.
Although Luo Yi and Li Jing have a bad relationship, they have a good relationship with the Xue family. Xue Wanjun saw that the two opponents were standing together, for fear that they would fight, so he hurriedly said, "This Maozi banner is likely to be Mao Yi, the general of the Liaodong Army, and the Chen character Daxu means that Chen Pojun has arrived in person, but which is this Li Ziqi?" It can't be Li Benlei, right? ”
Li Jing shook his head, "Recently, the spies reported that Chen Pojun had just sealed the civil and military forces in Liaodong not long ago, and not only established himself in Daxingtai Shangshu Province, but also got some Eight Guards General. This Maozi flag is Long Luowei
General Mao Yi, Chen Pojun's number one confidant. However, Li Ziqi is not Li Benlei, according to investigation, Li Benlei has taken a back seat, and although he continues to hold important positions, he no longer leads troops to the battle. This newly arrived Li Ziqi is Na and Ma Yitai
Shouwang Rengong defected to Li Jing of Mayi County in eastern Liaodong. ..., Speaking of Wang Rengong, Li Jing was full of sighs.
…,
At the beginning, Wang Rengong was also in charge of the army in Hebei, and he and Li Jing, Xue Shixiong, as well as Zhang Xutuo, Murong Sanzang, Yu Zhongwen, Xin Shixiong, Mai Tiezhu and others can be said to be irreversible, and the relationship is very good. Such as
Among the eight people of the year, Murong Sanzang had died in the seventh year of the great cause, and then when he conquered Liaodong for the second time, he led Shixiong and Mai Tiezhu to die in Liaodong again. Later, Yu Zhongwen, who even returned to the capital, did not survive, and was charged with defeat and died. former
In the year, Zhang Xutuo also died in Liaodong, and after calculation, among the eight tigers in northern Xinjiang who are still alive now, only Wang Rengong and him Li Jing and Xue Shixiong are left. But before Wang Rengong was demoted to a small Tao...
Taishou, and now he has defected to Liaodong, which makes him a little difficult to accept.
"The Liaodong Army already has 100,000 soldiers outside this pass, and now there are Mao Yi and Li Jing to increase their troops, plus Chen Pojun came in person, then there are 130,000 soldiers outside this pass. What is Chen Pojun going to do, he has already heard the news and knows that the imperial court is going to conquer the Turks first. So he wants to take this opportunity to rush to Linyuguan? Xue Laosi said with some suspicion.
Another young general on the side snorted coldly: "Isn't it 130,000 horses?" Let's not say that we have this dangerous head in Linyu, even if we don't have this Xiongguan to rely on, can we rely on our 150,000 imperial army alone, and we can't beat Chen Pojun, a chaotic minister and thief? ”
Hearing the young general's voice, another middle-aged general on the side hurriedly said, "Okay, which turn is here for you to speak, and you won't retreat." ”
Li Jing smiled, "Xing Yan is just saying his opinion, why should Brother Deben blame him." ”
The Deben brother in his mouth is the general Zuo Wuwei, Huaiyuan stayed behind to guard Pei Renji, and Xingyan is naturally his son Pei Xingyan, who is the enemy of 10,000 people. Pei Xingyan is known as the enemy of 10,000 people, brave and unbeatable, and the best among the new generation
He who. And the four tigers of the Xue family are also the elite among the young generals, with the same background and similar positions, which makes them full of open and secret battles. Since the four tigers of the Xue family and the two heroes of the Pei family were stationed together in this Linyu Pass, they have been fighting openly and in the dark
Many times.
Compared with Lao Tzu's father, their father is one of the twelve generals, and they are also from a family. And they themselves are all fourth- and fifth-grade generals, but in general, they are still inferior to the Pei brothers
A little bit. There are four tigers, and there are four people. They are two heroes, only two brothers, the eldest Pei Xingjian also learns literature and is good at strategy. One-on-one heads-up, none of the four tigers is the opponent of Pei Xingyan, who is the enemy of 10,000 people, but he really has to fight together
Get up, the two brothers will definitely not be able to beat the four brothers. So everyone, usually, just tear each other down.
Luo Yi smiled and said, "Okay, what you said is good, are we really afraid that Chen Pojun will not succeed." According to me, let's take advantage of Chen Pojun's new arrival tonight and take advantage of the night horse to step on the company camp.
Tonight, Chen Pojun was captured alive and Liaodong was leveled in one fell swoop. Then turn around and go north to attack the Turks, and join forces with His Majesty's army. Isn't this beautiful, how can it be stronger than we now have more than 100,000 troops, but we can only watch the Liaodong Army show off its might in front of us every day, right? ”
Li Jing frowned, "This marshal has the trust of His Majesty and has been awarded the post of marshal of the marching army of Liao." That handsome man must obey the orders of His Majesty and the imperial court, and it is His Majesty's duty to guard Linyu Pass steadily.
And you, since you are under the command of the commander, you naturally have to obey the commander's orders. Before His Majesty defeated the Turks, and without a new order, no one should henceforth speak of an unauthorized attack, otherwise it would be dealt with according to military law. ”
After some harsh words, the veterans and young generals in the city stopped talking.
In fact, in the bottom of my heart, everyone still has some feelings that they can't grasp the Liaodong Army. Chen Kefu was able to destroy the Goguryeo country with his own strength, and also defeated the alliance of the four tribes, which is not false. Especially Liao
The kind of gunpowder weapon in the hands of the Eastern Army has long been a god in the Great Sui army. I heard that the last time there was a rainy night riot in the eastern capital, Chen Kefu's subordinates broke into the palace with gunpowder and robbed the princess. Hundreds of thousands of Praetorian Guards in Kyoto
They didn't even catch them, which shows how powerful this weapon is.
If the 100,000 troops had not been transferred away at this time, everyone would have more confidence in their hearts. But now they have 150,000 people, and the Liaodong Army has 130,000 people, so there is not much difference at all. If they give up relying on the Great Wall and take the initiative to attack, they really don't have much confidence in victory.
Everyone stopped talking, just looked at the extra tent in the camp of the Eastern Army outside the pass, and the tall and fluttering Chen Zi Daxu.
Pei Xingjian, who had not spoken, suddenly said loudly: "The Liaodong Army has increased its troops for three consecutive days, and according to the intelligence, the Liaodong Army now has at least 300,000 troops. If Chen Kefu continues to draw troops from all over Liaodong
Come, what will we do then? With Chen Kefu's ability, don't say 300,000, as long as he has 200,000, he will definitely take the initiative to attack. Especially at the moment when the imperial army is still being transferred to Hedong to prepare for war with the Turks, this
An opportunity he certainly won't miss. ”
If Chen Kefu really gathered 200,000 troops, he would definitely not wait for the imperial court to defeat the Turks before attacking Liaodong. And once Chen Kefu attacks first, it is really unknown whether the 150,000 troops at Linyu Pass can be stopped.
Li Jing was silent for a while, and said in a somewhat low voice, "No matter what, the water will flood the earth, and the soldiers will block it." We only need to hold the Linyu Pass, and it is strictly forbidden to attack without authorization, and when His Majesty defeats the Turks, it will be the day when Chen Po's army is defeated. After saying this, he did not wait for the generals to reply, but turned and walked down the city. (To be continued!)
