Chapter 693: Heads-up
Li Chongjiu looked at the flickering firelight in the distance, and his heart began to become irritable, if it was okay during the day, he could at least see what was happening in the distance, but now it was night, he couldn't see what was going on in the distance, Du Da chin would not get things done, he was quite worried.
Turning his head, Li Chongjiu said to Wu Youren: "If only Brother Wu followed Du Da Chin and them just now, if something happens, at least Brother Wu can improvise, but Du Da Chin is too old-fashioned, and if he encounters an emergency, I am afraid that he will not be able to solve it in time!" ”
Wu Youren thought to himself: "I won't go, in case the vanguard general of the Yan army sees me and thinks that I am the prince's right-hand man, and wants to get rid of me, anyway, it's dark, give me a manslaughter, or shoot by mistake, then who will I cry to, and improvis, in case people don't give me a chance!" ”
He nodded, sighed, and said, "It's good that the minister and General Du went out of the city just now, otherwise the minister should go down to the city now, maybe he can catch up with them." Well, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here is careful, and everything is more and Prince Cheng, as well as the King of Jingdejun, they can discuss more. ”
As soon as Li Chongjiu heard this, he remembered that if he didn't have Wu Youren by his side, he probably wouldn't be able to play it, after all, Wu Youren was his think tank, and the think tank had to be by his side, and if it was far away, it wouldn't be called a think tank.
Li Chongjiu hurriedly said: "That's not necessary, Brother Wu will stay by Lone's side, it is estimated that even if you go out of the city now, you won't be able to catch up with Du Da Chin and them, it is better for us to wait and see what happens in the city." ”
Wu Youren thought to himself: "I knew you would say that!" ”
He now knows Li Chongjiu quite well, Li Chongjiu is a person with low eyes, Li Chongjiu has a lot of ideas, but none of them can be completed independently, so Li Chongjiu can't do without him at all, and now Wu Youren is quite confident in his status.
The people on the city wall were all nervously watching the flickering fire. Waiting for Du Da Jaw to bring the news back.
Let's talk about the vanguard army of King Yan.
The person who is the vanguard officer, of course, if it is Yang Ze's henchman, the general who leads the army is Fu Bingrong, there are not many soldiers and horses in the vanguard army, not like Wu Youren guessed that it was 3,000 people, in fact, there are only 1,000 people, but it is one person and two horses, and each pioneer soldier carries a spare horse.
When there were still dozens of miles away from Taiyuan City, the scout in front reported the situation outside Taiyuan City to Fu Bingrong, saying that a large area of wooden stakes were being driven outside Taiyuan City. The entire north of the city was almost filled with wooden piles, and the Taiyuan soldiers had laid at least three or four hundred thousand wooden piles.
Fu Bingrong listened to the scout's report, and smiled at his generals: "The wooden stake is useless at all, and it can hinder the cavalry's charge, but it also means that Li Chongjiu and they can only defend the city, and they can't go out of the city to fight." However, we are not going to attack the city, what are they nervous about! ”
The adjutant general said, "General Fu." Wooden stakes are not good fortifications, but they can cause us problems. Although the last general doesn't know why Taiyuan is hostile to us, they are all people of the same country, if there is a misunderstanding. Let's make it as clear as possible, lest the situation deteriorate further, and if we make a move, we may not be able to gain the upper hand with few people. ”
This lieutenant is Zuo Shenwu's. It's not Yang Ze's henchmen, if you want this deputy general to follow Yang Ze to do big things, it's no problem. But if this deputy general is allowed to fight with the Taiyuan soldiers first, then he will never be willing, the arrow shoots the first bird, it is no problem to slip with the big slip, it is also okay to be a pioneer, but it is absolutely impossible to be a pioneer in a hurry.
Not only is this deputy general like this, but the generals of the left Shenwu army also nodded, although the left and right Shenwu armies are Praetorian Guards, but like the Taiyuan soldiers, they are all the armies of the Dafang Empire, and there is no civil war, why should they be hostile, this makes no sense, let's figure things out first, and then talk about whether to fight or not!
"Who said they were going to fight, they just felt weird!" Fu Bingrong glanced at the deputy general who spoke, and said: "Let's reach Taiyuan at a normal speed, and we don't have to worry about anything else." ”
Galloping all the way, waiting until the evening, the vanguard army arrived outside the city, although it was dark, but the vanguard army generals can still see the dense wooden stakes outside the city, as well as the black shadow behind the wooden stakes, it is estimated that there are a lot of Taiyuan soldiers standing up, lined up behind the wooden stakes, that must be to block the vanguard army, Taiyuan soldiers must be holding bows and arrows in their hands!
Fu Bingrong shouted: "Light all torches, light two torches per person, brighten up the hall, let the Taiyuan soldiers see!" ”
The vanguard army agreed in unison, everyone lit two torches, some soldiers still like to make noise, not only lit torches, but also got a few big branches, the big branches were lit, the fire was brighter, I believe that even the city of Taiyuan, you can see the fire here.
Fu Bingrong was not in a hurry, he knew that the city would definitely send someone over, so naturally he didn't have to shout at the Taiyuan soldiers behind the stake, he just had to wait, take advantage of this time to take a good rest.
Sure enough, after a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and an army came out of the city. A soldier who was good at listening to sounds jumped off his horse, lay on the ground and listened for a while, then raised his head and said, "General Fu, there are about 100 people in the horse team from the city, and the direction is coming towards us." ”
Fu Bingrong snorted and thought, "A hundred people? Listening to this number, wouldn't it be Du Da Chin and them, didn't they go to Li Chongjiu and establish a Golden Crow Army, it's really funny, isn't the Golden Crow a crow, a crow army? ”
The sound of horses' hooves stopped on the other side of the stake, presumably the army that went out of the city couldn't pass through the stake, they also had to dismount and walk, and after a while, the army appeared at the end of the stake, and by the light of the fire, Fu Bingrong recognized who was coming, but it was Du Da chin, and there were a group of heroes behind him.
Thinking that at the beginning, when Yang Ze wanted to collect the heroes in the city, Fu Bingrong still didn't think so, thinking that those chickens and dogs in the market could have any skills, they were just some mixed rice. In the process of recruiting heroes, Fu Bingrong also deliberately embarrassed a few heroes, so he had too many things to do and people were too busy, so he didn't have time to repair the heroes.
I can't imagine that these heroes are really powerful, how long has it been, and they have become an army of their own. also entered the side of the crown prince Li Chongjiu and became Li Chongjiu's henchman, although the number of heroes is small, from the perspective of role, it is even greater than the vanguard army that Fu Bingrong is now leading!
Fu Bingrong didn't say hello to Du Dachin, after all, Du Dachin, as well as the identity of the entire Golden Crow Army, still have to be kept secret, and the people in the vanguard army are not all Yang Ze's henchmen.
Du's big chin is with a group of heroes. Walking sweating profusely, the heroes are not good-tempered people, while walking and scolding, they don't care that those wooden stakes are all fought hard by the Taiyuan soldiers, their scolding voice is not low, and the Taiyuan soldiers standing behind the wooden stakes can hear it clearly.
Although the Taiyuan soldiers are not good at fighting, they can only do physical work, but even if they are clay figures, they still have three parts of earth, and they have worked hard all day. As a result, they will be scolded, not because they can't do their work, but because they work too hard, and they can't ride horses. That sounds infuriating.
The Taiyuan soldiers were all silent, they all knew that Du Da Chin's group was the prince's guards, and they heard that they were the pro-army of His Royal Highness the prince, and these people could not afford to offend. There is no need for them to be offended, but Taiyuan Bing's hearts have also made up their minds and will work in the future. It's not like today, I'm so tired that I don't talk about it, and I have to be scolded, whoever makes efforts in the future is a fool!
The heroes scolded and walked through the stake formation, and when they arrived in front of Fu Bingrong's horse, Du Da chin smiled at Fu Bingrong, and had the intention to say hello, it can be seen that most of the soldiers around Fu Bingrong didn't know each other, so he swallowed the words of greeting again!
Du Da chin shouted: "Who is in front, what are you doing in Taiyuan?" Do you want to sneak attack our Taiyuan, daydreaming, but you can see this stake array, there is this array, you don't want to attack the city of Taiyuan! ”
After hearing this, the generals of the vanguard army all laughed, and some of the generals thought to themselves: "This person is sick in the brain, come here and shout such a call first!" ”
In fact, many generals of the vanguard army have seen that the stake array in Taiyuan City is useless, and they are not people who can only talk on paper.
The stake array should be closer to the city wall, so as to block the cavalry, and the infantry siege is also troublesome, you can't carry the ladder around the stake, you can only pull out the stake first, the speed of the siege is slow, the soldier has become a target, but the stake array outside Taiyuan City is too far away from the city, what is the use!
As for the Taiyuan soldiers with bows and arrows behind the stake array, in fact, it is also an ornament, think about it, if the Taiyuan soldiers can shoot arrows here, then the arrows of the same vanguard can also shoot over, the danger is two-sided, not one-sided shooting.
Fu Bingrong said loudly: "According to the general, only outside this city wall can there be such a huge array, and the general will order a detour to the west!" ”
Du Da's chin snorted, and he thought, "Yes, time is in a hurry, and there is really only a stake formation outside the city in this regard." ”
"Who the hell are you guys doing here?" Du shouted with his chin pulled his neck, and his voice spread far away, and it was estimated that even his shouts could be heard on the city wall.
Fu Bingrong said with a smile: "This general will serve in the Yanwang Army, his surname is Fu Bingrong, this time he took the vanguard army to send troops to suddenly, passing through Taiyuan, wanting to replenish the grain and grass, and also recruit some people for our army." Okay, Ben is going to finish talking about himself, tell me about yours, who are you? ”
Du Da pulled his neck again and shouted, he shouted: "I am His Royal Highness the Prince, Du Youjing, the general of Jinwu, you want to rob me of the grain and grass in Taiyuan, right?" No, as long as General Ben is here, you don't want to snatch a grain of food. ”
"How can we rob food, it's just nonsense!" The soldiers behind Fu Bingrong shouted.
For the contradictions in the court, the generals of the two armies on the left and right are not unaware, but it is the contradiction between the prince Li Chongjiu and the king of Yan, they can watch the excitement, but now the general surnamed Du said that they want to grab the grain in Taiyuan, so they can't see the excitement, which is obviously Taiyuan is unwilling to support the grain and grass!
If there is no food, let alone the war between the army and Tujue, even if you want to go to the border alive, it will be impossible!
Fu Bingrong raised his hand and signaled the soldiers and generals to stop arguing, and he said to Du Da chin: "We didn't say that we wanted to grab food, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding between us." However, as generals, we are all fighting men and warriors, so if there is any misunderstanding, let's solve it with our fists, you send someone to fight with one of our side, if your people win, then we will leave here without saying a word, but if our people win, then you will take out 10,000 stone of food, and send another thousand people, and 500 carts, and follow our army to Sudden Jue! ”
When the generals of the vanguard army heard this, they all clamoured together, and they all shouted: "Do you dare or not, do you dare to fight, we will win or lose!" ”
Fu Bingrong and Du Da chin, as well as those heroes and Bohai warriors in the vanguard army, these people all know what's going on, isn't it just nonsense, but other people don't know, just like those Taiyuan soldiers standing behind the stakes, they can also hear the people here talking.
Many Taiyuan soldiers held bows and arrows in their hands, listening with their ears pricked up, fortunately, Fu Bingrong and Du Da Jaw spoke loudly, they could hear it clearly, but the more clearly they heard, the more they felt that tonight's events were incredible, they were small soldiers, and they read few books, of course, nine out of ten people had never even touched the book, and the remaining one was just touching the book, but this does not mean that they are ignorant and easy to deceive!
The army went out, how to collect grain and grass, where to collect, this is all stipulated by the imperial court in advance, it is impossible to change it casually, if the expedition is suddenly, the grain and grass should be collected in Taiyuan, and responsible for the transfer, then it must be borne by Taiyuan, like Du Da chin or something, that is not possible, this reason will not work, now just say so, and wait for the king of Yan to come, if you say so, it is not to Taiyuan disaster!
But the vanguard general on the other side is even more funny, it's just inexplicable, it's quite reasonable, but he wants to use a competition to solve it, who wins and listens to whom, what is this for? Set up a ring, and then compete to recruit relatives?
But the more the Taiyuan soldiers listened, the more confused they became, but none of them would question it, after all, they didn't count, and only a leading Taiyuan general sent a Taiyuan soldier back to report the news, and told the prince Li Chongjiu what happened here.
What do the Taiyuan soldiers think, but the vanguard army doesn't care, and the Jin Wu army doesn't care. At this time, I saw Du Da chin take off his coat, shake his bare shoulders, tighten his belt again, strode forward, and shouted: "On our side, General Ben will personally go into battle, who do you send out, General Fu, how about you also end up in person?" ”
Du Da's chin is full of tattoos, under the light of the torch, the tattoos on his body seem to come to life, especially the tattoos on the two arms, one left and one right, which makes people look at it, all of them are surprised, surprised, many soldiers and generals laughed loudly!
It turns out that the two lines of words are: I am not afraid of Jing Zhaoyin in life, and I am not afraid of King Yama in death!
As soon as you look at these two lines, you know that before General Du, he must have been mixed on the streets of Chang'an! (To be continued......)
