Chapter 304: Night into Qingzhou
"Something is wrong!" Liu Xun looked at the soldiers outside the tent, and said to Li Zhen with a solemn face. Just now, he had already made a few excuses to go out of the tent to join his brothers, but they were mercilessly blocked back by the soldiers outside the tent.
Li Zhen sat in the tent with his eyes closed, sighed when he heard the words, and said helplessly: "I blame me for this, I didn't expect that I would actually meet an acquaintance in Li Jing's military camp." It seems that he has exposed my identity, which has aroused Li Jing's suspicions. I'm not more worried about us now, I'm worried that Li Jing is so smart, and he is very likely to guess from what I pretended to be under the command of Wang Ya General, we are going to strike at Song Wei first. ”
"Acquaintances?"
"Yes, when I saw Li Jing just now, I saw a person behind Li Jing, who turned out to be my younger brother Li Liang. I also heard that he had given up the imperial examination and the road of official career, and concentrated on business. I didn't expect that now I would become the mastermind by Li Jing's side. My younger brother was smart and wise when he was young, and when he grew up, he liked to study more soldiers. He clearly recognized me just now, but he didn't move, probably guessing a lot of things from my fake identity. ”
Liu Xun couldn't help but be surprised: "Li Jing won't be so smart, and even if he can guess the general's plan, but this is nearly three hundred miles away from Qingzhou, and it is almost noon now, even if Li Jing rushes to Qingzhou now, I'm afraid that his army will be too late." ”
Li Zhen shook his head: "Then Li Jing is not an ordinary person, you also saw his garrison and the soldiers and horses in the camp today." The camp is very well arranged, and at first glance, only the elite army can have this experience. And his soldiers and horses, after the garrison. There was no noise in the camp. The soldiers were well organized. And I've looked at these soldiers and horses in detail. They are all built with strong bodies, and everyone has armor, even after camping, they are still armoured. Compared with the soldiers of the king's generals, I am afraid that it will not be bad. ”
Liu Xun sighed and said with some convincingness: "I have also seen these soldiers, in fact, the Qingzhou tooth soldiers are worse than them." In addition to Wang Yajiang's ya, the left and right sides directly led 5,000 soldiers. can barely be quite outside, and the other yaqian and yahou are much worse. ”
"What are we going to do now?" Liu Xun asked.
Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "What else can we do now, I know that you have the courage of a hundred, but it can't work here at this time." Let's just stay here honestly and settle down with our destiny. ”
In the Chinese military tent, Li Jing is now discussing with the generals.
"Tell you a bad news, our plan is likely to have been exposed and detected by Wang Jingwu."
Li Juyi, the tenth general of the Crane Battalion, said loudly: "One force will drop ten meetings, even if Wang Jingwu knows what to do, let's just go to Qingzhou with great fanfare." What Wang Jingwu is not Wang Jingwu. Just catch it and cut it down. ”
Guo Chengan said: "Bochang is still three hundred miles away from Qingzhou, even if it is a light horse. It will take at least one day and one night to arrive. The most important thing now is that after Wang Jingwu knows the news about us, it is very likely that he will be the first to make trouble, and before we arrive, he will make trouble first. In this way, even if we arrive, if Song Jieshuai and them are defeated and restrained by Wang Jingwu, we will be in a dilemma. ”
Gao Rong, who was newly promoted to the deputy tenth general of the Flying Cavalry Battalion, said with a smile: "I think the current situation is very good, let's just go to Qingzhou." If Wang Jingwu didn't make a move, we would help Song Wei kill Wang Jingwu. If Wang Jingwu had already killed Song Wei first, we would have killed Wang Jingwu as well, and then we would have directly pushed the military envoy to sit in this section to make the envoy. ”
Li Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't think about the position of the marshal now, with my qualifications and prestige, even if I sit in this position now, many military leaders below will not be convinced. The best situation at the moment is to help Song Wei kill Wang Jingwu, which is the situation that is most in our interests. ”
"General Pei, why don't you express your opinion, what do you think, just say it." Li Jing saw Pei You sitting below, without saying a word, a little cautious, and then spoke up.
Pei You got up and saluted Li Jing: "General, if you have some immature ideas in your post, just throw bricks and lead the way." I think what the general just said is very reasonable, and we have no hesitation to stand on Song Wei's side in this struggle between Song Wei and Wang Jingwu. Therefore, the most crucial point now is how to keep Song Wei before Wang Jingwu kills Song Wei first. Although we have 6,000 soldiers and horses here, it is difficult to solve the water far away and the water is close to the water. I thought that when this is an extraordinary time, it is time to do extraordinary things. ”
"What's the solution?" Li Jing asked.
"The soldiers can be divided into two ways, one positive and one strange. Yes, naturally, the army immediately advanced to Qingzhou, and it was best to report to Song Wei immediately. However, even if Song Wei knows the truth, the current situation is a real strength, unless Song Wei abandons Qingzhou and leaves, it is meaningless to veto, and according to my speculation, Song Wei is definitely not willing to retreat without a fight. Therefore, the key to health has to be a surprise soldier all the way. ”
"How?"
"Send the special war capital to gallop to Qingzhou, disguise themselves as caravans or infiltrate Qingzhou City in batches to protect Song Wei. As long as Song Wei doesn't have an accident, even if Wang Jingwu temporarily captures Qingzhou City, we can fight back then. But if Song Wei died, or fell into the hands of Wang Jingwu, the situation would not be good. ”
Li Jing nodded, I have to say, this analysis is very good. In this battle, Song Wei was Guan Jian, as soon as he died, the dragons were leaderless, and at that time, Li Jing lacked the righteousness and righteousness of righteousness. And without Song Wei, Li Jing would not be able to unite other forces in Qingzhou to deal with Wang Jingwu, relying on these thousands of soldiers and horses alone, it is very difficult to deal with Qingzhou guarded by Wang Jingwu. And now let people report to Song Wei and let him take the initiative to withdraw from Qingzhou first, which is also unrealistic for people like Song Wei. The only thing that can be done is to send someone to protect Song Wei first.
"A certain wish to lead the Silver Spear Battalion to go!"
"I'm willing to lead the guard battalion there!"
"I'll take the crane camp with me."
"I'll take the Flying Cavalry Battalion!"
"Our Eagle Camp is the best place to go."
"I'm enough for special operations!"
One after another, the generals asked for war, and it was a good thing that there was a war, and none of these people were afraid of war. And the brothers below are now looking forward to fighting more, since the new soldier rank, everyone is counting on the promotion of meritorious service in the war, otherwise, just by the number of years of survival, from enlistment to first-class sergeant major, it will take eleven years, who can survive this.
Li Jing thought about it for a while, it is not easy to go to Qingzhou, this is a very important task. The identity of the person who went was low, and it is estimated that Song Wei would not be able to be said at all. After thinking about it, Li Jing said? "You don't have to fight, I decided to personally lead my troops to Qingzhou this time. Li Liang walked with me, and if he couldn't bring more soldiers, he would bring 200 special operations men. The rest of the soldiers and horses," Li Jing glanced at the generals in the tent, and finally fell on Pei You's body, "After I leave, the army will be led by Pei You, the tenth general of the guard battalion, with Guo Chengan as the auxiliary, and the rest of the battalion soldiers must obey his command." ”
Li Jing untied the seven-foot jade sword on his body and handed it to Pei You: "I will give you this sword, if you dare to disobey the order, you can cut it first and then play!" Pei You didn't expect that Li Jing would actually hand over the command of the six battalions of soldiers and horses to his own general, and he couldn't help but get excited in his heart. took the sword at the moment, and said with a little choked: "Please rest assured that the general will live up to the general's trust." ”
After arranging a few things, Li Jing said in the back: "Remember to lock up that Li Zhen and Liu Xun for me, and you must not let them escape." But don't embarrass them, these two are not easy, and I have to talk to them later. "Li Jing now knows that Li Zhenna is a more powerful strategist than Li Liang, how would he be willing to let him go. That Liu Xun, Li Jing also thought of who this person was in his memory. Later Liang Zhijiang, who can also be called Liu Xun, who is known as the first wise general of the fifth generation, although he is only a teenager now, is also showing his strength. Such a talent, Li Jing will not let go. But now there is no time, let's wait until Wang Jingwu is destroyed, it is estimated that when Wang Jingwu is gone, Liu Xun should no longer resist and not surrender.
In the afternoon of the same day, after a full meal, Li Jing led 200 special battles to ride out of the camp and went to Qingzhou. This time it was a three-hundred-mile attack, and Li Jing made every special warfare soldier ride with one person and two horses. I didn't bring any extra baggage, so I brought some canned food and water, and went straight to Qingzhou.
Along the way, non-stop, day and night. Along the Shishui, 200 horsemen all the way south, over 1,000 rides, Linzi, Yidu Zhucheng, are selected trail shortcuts, passing through the city without entering, around the city, after a day and a night of travel, to the evening of the 26th, Li Jing finally led the army to a small town a few miles outside the north of Qingzhou City.
In the town, Li Jing left more than 400 war horses in a small valley outside the town and sent a few soldiers to guard them. Then he sent a few people to walk to the town, bought a batch of ready-to-wear clothes, bought some carriages and horses, and bought a batch of goods at random. Li Jing pretended to be a big businessman, Duan Shan and a subordinate officer pretended to be the leader of the guards, etc., and the two hundred people below were dressed up as guards, men, grooms, and so on.
The group rushed to the city with a convoy before the city gate was closed. There are Wang Jingwu's tooth soldiers at the gate of the city, Li Jing quietly looked at the head of the city, Qingzhou City is the tooth city of Ziqing Town, it is very large, it is four zhang high, and Qingzhou has six city gates, and there is an urn city outside each city gate. The city is lined with corner towers and arrow towers, and many soldiers patrol back and forth.
The soldiers who were checking still wanted to be embarrassed, but Li Jing had already asked Duan Shan to take the initiative to send a small box of copper coins, which was as many as ten times. "Please raise your hand, captain, we have a car broken down on the road, and we have been delayed for some time. If you can't get into the city tonight, you'll be in trouble. This is 10,000 dollars, and I will give it to the lieutenant and the brothers to drink. ”
The soldier who was checking was just a small captain, and he was already a little fluttering when he was called the captain, and when he opened the box again, he saw a box full of yellow and clear copper coins, which looked like the merchant had said that the number of ten. didn't look at Li Jing and the others at the moment, and waved his hand and said: "Go in, remember to hurry up next time, otherwise as soon as the city gate is closed, there will be no reason to open it again." ”
Duan Shan nodded hurriedly, and then beckoned, and Li Jing and the others rumbled into Qingzhou City with a convoy. (To be continued......)
