East County, the county seat

The night is as quiet as water, the moon shines for thousands of miles, and the military camp stretches for more than ten miles outside the city, and the patrol is strict.

A patrol squad, fifty people, was making its way through. Although there are not many of them, they are all elites, wearing leather armor, having war horses, and the scouts are very well-equipped.

The team looked at the distance, and said softly, "The scope of our team's inspection, do you still keep it in mind?"

"The team is positive, we all keep it in mind. ”

"That's good, we came out this time to explore the scale of the Dacheng army, observe it from a distance, remember not to act rashly, divided into five teams, each with its own area, limited to dawn, return to the city after dawn, and immediately return to the county to report the news!"

"No!"

"Next, the teams should be careful. ”

This team, with ten people, rode away in one direction, while the other fire chiefs, called people, kicked the horse's belly, and left.

The team led by the team was walking in one direction neither fast nor slow, because there was no torch lit, and by the moonlight, they could only see the faint surroundings.

However, the advantage of this is that others cannot easily spot their tracks.

Scouts all choose night vision, and at night, they can see more realistically than others, such a moonlit night, which does not hinder these scouts.

In the wilderness, dark and deep, with large trees scattered, the team in cowhide armor was walking a few steps, and suddenly stopped, staring coldly ahead.

"I don't know if you feel it, the Dacheng army has set up a defensive circle. The voice of the team leader was not high, and the ten people who followed closely followed him could already hear it clearly, and immediately changed color, and drew out a long knife.

"Don't draw a knife, there's moonlight. The team frowned and said, "I can't go ahead." ”

"However, the lord of the city commands ......," the fire chief said with some concern, "and I'm afraid other fire captains won't think like this." ”

The front of the team sank like water: "That's why we split up and move forward, you have been following me for many years, to be honest, I am not optimistic about this battle, and I can also estimate that we will retreat at dawn." ”

"Yes!" everyone present responded, and there was no further thought.

Dacheng Barracks, Main Tent

"Report!"

"What?"

"General, enemy scouts were found outside the camp, and a total of eleven people were shot, and some escaped. ”

"Can you send someone to chase after you?"

"General, the scout battalion has followed. ”

"I already know, go down. ”

"No. ”

In the tent of the Chinese army, the general Lu Gao asked his soldiers to go down to think in the tent by himself, this matter is a small matter, and thinking is naturally other major things.

After a moment, he lifted the curtain of the tent and instructed the soldiers outside: "If there is news from the county, notify me immediately." ”

After receiving an affirmative response, Lugao lowered the curtain and walked back to the tent.

The elite of the Luoyang Army stationed in the Dongjun County has 5,000 people, all of whom are capable of fighting, plus there are more than 10,000 Xiang troops summoned in the city.

If you directly attack and enter, I am afraid that it will bring great losses to your own side.

There are only 10,000 people in the old army brought by Lu Gaoyouzhou, and the other armies are new troops, and the losses will be not small against these 5,000 elites.

There's no way, just a hard attack.

But the big clans in the city have already sent people to contact him, saying that they can do internal response in the city, and in order to win his trust, they have secretly sent their son-in-law out of the city to ensure their safety.

After reading the information from Dacheng in the city, Lu Gao confirmed that these people were credible, so he had this expectation.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, an hour passes.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and at last there were pigeons released from the city, and a man and a horse were behind.

"General, the people in the city have made arrangements. The fan of the thirteenth division turned over and dismounted, and said about his situation: "Dongjun is heavily guarded, and several families cannot directly capture the city, but the general is attacking the city fiercely, and after the defenders are arranged, the Xiang army can mutinied." When the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined to respond to our army. ”

Lu Gao pondered for a moment, this is very reasonable, once the East County is captured by the Yellow River, it will cut off the connection between Luoyang and the other two counties, and then it will be equivalent to a big victory, so it makes sense to arrange elite and defend properly in this county.

"So go back and tell me that I already know. Lu Gao nodded and gave the order: "Order the army to feast tomorrow morning and start the siege." ”

"No!" the people around responded and immediately prepared.

From spring to summer, the fields were lush and lush, but the earth shook to break the tranquility, and the long procession of hundreds of miles stretched on the road, and countless people and horses marched like a huge dragon, rushing out.

Even on the march, it can still maintain a certain amount of neatness, countless steps, and the earth faintly shakes.

At this time, it was nearly dusk, and after a while, the cavalry passed quickly, constantly shouting: "The emperor has decreed that he has set up camp." ”

After shouting, he quickly kicked the dust away.

Everywhere he went, the governors of the governors of the various provinces of the guards and their provinces, Mali gave orders, and an hour later the camp was set up.

Even if it was a new tent, it was stained with a lot of mud, and the camps around the Chinese army, the stoves were burned, and the tents were made in units of ten people, and some soldiers were lying or standing or sitting in piles.

After a while, the fire chief came in, sniffed a few times, and asked, "What are the good things today?"

"We are the Forbidden Army, and we got a pig from below, and we sacrificed it, and we got half a leg. ”

"Not bad, do you have any cans?"

The so-called canned food is clay pots, and clay pots are now made into cubes, the reason is that they can be piled up, but because they are fragile, they are still inconvenient to carry, even if they are forbidden troops, there are not many.

"There's one more. "Someone took out a small jar and opened it.

"Yes, it's a fish-flavored soup!"

In order to be easy to carry, it is gradually solidified, that is, all kinds of food are boiled into soup, and then dried into solid pieces, and put in clay pots to keep.

This not only preserves for a long time, but also is convenient, when it is time to use it, just dig a piece and throw it into the pot, although it is very chowder, but it is rich in nutrients, and it is very popular with soldiers.

This method was not figured out by Wang Hongyi, it was a small official below, and Wang Hongyi was overjoyed, and he was promoted three levels in a row, and now he is a nine-rank official.

Of course, due to the limitations of raw materials, most of the solid blocks now come from the ocean.

Fish, kelp, cabbage, vermicelli, etc., are boiled and dried in a chowder, and there is also salt, which is really good.

A soldier took away the marching pot for boiling water, turned it on the fire, and threw it into the pot, and the aroma came out.

But at this moment, I heard the trumpet of recruitment...... Immediately hurriedly dropped it, extinguished the fire, and ran out, the fire chief couldn't help but curse secretly: "Damn, it's another spot check." ”

Inside the imperial tent, Wang Hongyi didn't know about it, it was dusk at the moment, dozens of candles were on the huge camp tent, and a team of armies outside kept walking in front of the tent.

There are people coming and going, and there are constantly officials and generals to deal with things.

Wang Hongyi was sitting in the back at the moment, his face was solemn, and on the desk in front of Wang Hongyi, there were several secret letters that had been opened.

Wang Hongyi's gaze fell on these secret letters, and the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a sneer: "What do you think?"

On the opposite side is Zhang Youzhi, a college student who accompanied the army and one of the prime ministers of the cabinet.

He became the prime minister in his thirties, nourishing his qi and body, and now he is tall and jade, with a chic posture, a pair of dark and deep eyes, and a great bearing, and he can no longer see the shadow of the scholar back then.

Zhang Youzhi pondered for a moment and said, "The minister is panicked, but according to the intelligence, Zheng Guogong can't sit still. ”

Wang Hongyi didn't say anything, nodded slightly, and glanced at a piece of music again.

"Baima Port, the sailor blocked it wonderfully, cutting off the way for the Hu people to go south at once, and attacking Dongjun cut off the connection between Luoyang and other two counties, and the objects chosen by Lu Gao are also wonderful, they are all generals, no wonder Zheng Guogong can't sit still. ”

Speaking of which, Wang Hongyi was a little proud, this was all promoted by him, and he was a discerning talent, of course, this is based on luck.

Luck may not be talented, but the proportion is still very high.

After Wang Hongyi laughed, he said: "Zheng Guogong can't sit still, but he hesitates in the Tiger Prison Pass and doesn't dare to go out, this is really courageless to move forward, unwilling to defend, I really don't know how this person got this foundation." ”

"Emperor, the world is in chaos, tigers, wolves, snakes and mosquitoes are everywhere, opening the way for Allah, Zheng Guogong has some luck because of this, and the courtiers look at the process, or have some talent, but relying on the conspiracy is too heavy, and when they meet the emperor and the emperor, they will naturally have nothing to do. ”

Wang Hongyi listened intently, got up and paced slowly: "What about Chang'an?"

"Your Majesty, the root still falls on the emperor's evaluation, the courage to move forward, the unwillingness, Luoyang and Chang'an information continues, but I really want to make up my mind to lead the Qin army into the pass, but I don't dare, according to the intelligence, but I have increased the number of troops in Hangu Pass, this kind of behavior at both ends of the rat's head is really laughing for the world. ”

"It's just that if that's the case, we still have to lay down Dongjun and take Guandu Port, so that the sailors can calmly advance and retreat, and then the rest of the two guns will be quickly pacified, and the guns will be flattened, what is the branch of Luoyang?"

"The minister believes that the emperor's army cannot be fast, and the fast will change, nor can it be slow, and the slow will also change, that is, it will march straight to the tiger prison army, so that Zheng Guogong will not be able to advance or retreat. ”

Speaking very clearly, Zheng Guogong still has time, if Wang Hongyi marches directly and quickly and attacks the tiger prison, and Gunzhou has not yet been flattened, he will be restrained and cannot concentrate on using troops, and the desperate Zheng Guogong will naturally jump over the wall in a hurry, or lower the beard, or switch on.

If it is slow, wait for Dongjun to fall and Gunzhou to be flat, if it has not caught up at that time, Zheng Guogong will also have time to jump over the wall in a hurry

But now that the target is locked, the army is neither fast nor slow, so Liu Man cannot advance or retreat.

If you go out of the Tiger Prison Pass to support Gunzhou, you may be surrounded and annihilated by Wang Hongyi, and you will retreat to defend it, and you will not be reconciled.

And time is lost like this, as soon as Dongjun falls, Wang Hongyi's army has already been inserted into the Tiger Prison Pass, at this time, there is not much time to give Zheng Guogong a chance to jump off the wall in a hurry.

Wang Hongyi's footsteps were heard in the imperial tent, and after a long time, Wang Hongyi opened his mouth to praise: "What you said is good, there is really a fire." ”

Intrigue and intrigue cannot be put on the table at this level, and only this kind of thing can be regarded as entering the militaristic level.

However, this still requires Lu Gao's cooperation, so Wang Hongyi paused and said, "Now it depends on Dongjun, when you will go down." ”
