The army was still climbing up the mountain, and Zhang Hu's men were the last wave of several armies to go up the mountain.
As the personnel entered the mountain, they were alert to the pursuers behind them.
While Gong Lince and Meng Shanming were talking, they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Meng Shuai, I want to see Meng Shuai, I want to see Meng Shuai..."
The person talking turned around and saw a sergeant rushing against the guards and yelling.
This kind of thing is rare. Gong Lince and Meng Shanming looked at each other. Zhang Hu on the side asked the person below, "Whose subordinate? What's going on?"
He was certain that it was from his own side. There were only his own troops here. He was somewhat annoyed by making such a noise in front of everyone and shouting that he wanted to see Meng Shanming.
He didn't recognize Zhang Hu when he saw him. A junior sergeant dared to shout and clamor to see him. For some reason, Meng Shanming said in a voice: "Let him come over."
He spoke, and the sergeant was immediately escorted over. Two of the monks responsible for protecting Meng Shanming quietly approached the visitor to prevent any accidents.
"The villain has seen the commander-in-chief!" The escorted sergeant bowed his head in greeting. He was obviously a little excited to be able to see and talk to Meng Shanming up close.
He was a young man in his early twenties, tall and thin, with an energetic face and a young beard. Meng Shanming looked up and down, waved his hands left and right, and motioned to the person holding his arms to let him go.
, smiled and asked: "Who is your surname, what is your position, why do you want to see me?"
Zhang Hu stared at the sergeant with an annoyed and unhappy look on his face. Can Meng Shuai be able to meet anyone he wants? There are so many people in the army. If everyone is like this, Meng Shuai should stop doing other things. Are you too busy?
?
He was about to have an attack, but Meng Shanming raised his hand to stop him.
Zhang Hu had no choice but to give his subordinates a look and ask them to check the details of the sergeant.
The sergeant cupped his hands and said: "The villain is fighting on the road, and a centurion has rashly disturbed Commander Meng. It is true that he has urgent military information, so he came to see him offensively."
Urgent military situation? Meng Shanming was a little surprised and asked: "Since it is an urgent military situation, there is no harm in saying it!"
Lu Zheng pointed at the people and horses going up the mountain, as well as the people and horses who had already gone up the mountain, and said: "This group of Luo Mountains is densely wooded. I think it is not suitable for the army to be stationed on the mountain. Once the enemy attacks with fire, the fire will be fierce, and the consequences will be fierce."
It is unimaginable that our army will be plunged into a desperate situation, so please give me a warning, Commander-in-Chief!"
Zhang Hu rolled his eyes when he heard this. He knew that such a small soldier had no idea about the general situation. How could he have any urgent military information? As expected, he cursed in his heart that he was a fool. Why did he need you to remind him?
Gong Lince watched the road battle with cold eyes, with a condescending look on his face, as if he was looking down at an ant.
He knew that Meng Shanming's hidden killing move had already been launched, and everything had been planned in terms of time, so how could he wait for the enemy to launch any fire attack.
Meng Shanming nodded slightly, but he was patient, "What you said makes sense. I have written down your suggestion. But I am a little confused. Why didn't you report this suggestion to your superiors? You would have reported it to all levels. Why did you go over the top?
Will the boss report it?"
Lu Zheng said: "It's not that it's not as the commander said, it's just that the boss said that the villain is too worried, saying that there will definitely be considerations from above, and it's not the turn of little people like us to point fingers. The villain also knows that what the boss said is reasonable, but the villain can see the army.
Still going up the mountain, I am really anxious and worried about making mistakes, so I made rude remarks. Please forgive me, Commander-in-Chief."
Meng Shanming nodded slightly again and asked: "Based on your conversation, are you someone who has read a book?" You must know that these days, many sergeants can't even read a few Chinese characters.
Lu Zheng said with shame: "I'm ashamed, I'm a scholar in Changzhou City."
Meng Shanming smiled and said, "Changzhou is quite peaceful. If you have the conditions to study, why would you want to join the army?"
"..." Lu Zheng hesitated, as if he didn't dare to say anything.
Zhang Hu became angry and said in a deep voice: "You dare not speak, why are you clamoring to see me again?"
Meng Shanming raised his hand to stop him again, "But it's okay to say it, and I'll forgive you if I'm wrong."
Lu Zheng bowed first and then honestly reported: "A few years ago, I had a conversation with my classmates and talked about Dayan's marriage to the princess. I was so sad and angry that I couldn't sleep at night. I tossed and turned. I felt that my life as a scholar was useless, so I
Abandon your writing and join the army!"
Others smiled a little when they heard this, and it was only because of their enthusiasm that they joined the army.
"It's rare for a scholar with no skills to become a centurion at the bottom." Meng Shanming couldn't hide his smile and looked at Zhang Hu, "If you have more men, he will not be more, and if you have less of him, he will be less. This
Give me the road."
"Uh..." Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment, what's going on? His eyes rolled around twice, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Zheng again, and his heart was filled with excitement. Who could Meng Shuai like? After his eyes flickered slightly,
He coughed dryly and said, "Commander, it's like this. The brothers below need to seek the opinions of their superiors when making changes."
Meng Shanming's face calmed down, "You are indeed a prince, and I don't dare to embarrass you."
"Well..." Zhang Hu's face turned bitter, and he did this again, which was unbearable, "Commander, that's not what I meant, I just wanted to ask for the opinions of the people below. In this case, I will give it to the commander first, and I will give it to you later.
I’ll just give you an explanation below.”
"Da'an." Meng Shanming greeted.
"Here." Luo Daan stood up from behind the wheelchair and listened to the order.
"This is my disciple Luo Da'an." Meng Shanming introduced Lu Zheng and said, "You can follow him from now on."
"..." Lu Zheng was stunned, and then he was overjoyed. There was no reason not to agree. He thanked Luo Da'an again and again before meeting Luo Da'an.
At this time, Lu Zheng really attracted the attention of Gong Linche and others.
Everyone looked at Lu Zheng with different eyes. They all knew that Meng Shanming naturally had Meng Shanming's vision. Although they didn't know why Meng Shanming fell in love with this young man, there must be a reason. It is also conceivable that with that,
With Meng Shanming's support, this young man's fate will begin to change. Zhang Hu, General Zhang, and Governor Zhang on the side are just horsemen, aren't they? It was also Meng Shanming who helped him.
Zhang Hu had an indescribable look in his eyes at this time. He glanced at Lu Zheng from time to time, and the corners of his mouth twitched occasionally, as if he had lost some treasure.
After all, Lu Zheng is a centurion and has hundreds of brothers under his command, so he needs to explain them.
After Lu Zheng left, Gong Lince spoke up, "Why did this boy's stupid opinion endear him to Commander Meng?"
Meng Shanming replied with a smile: "Young people have to grow up slowly. Zhang Hu came up with a trick to raise horses, but ended up raising the horses to death and they were still crying."
As soon as these words came out, everyone suppressed their laughter. Zhang Hu was embarrassed and glared hard at his subordinate who was suppressing his laughter.
…
Not far below the mountain, Wu Qunlie jumped off his horse and scanned the mountains with his brows furrowed.
The spies sent out frequently came to report, and no abnormality was found around them. Once there were changes, they could retreat calmly. Because of this, it made people feel that something was abnormal.
He had a strong sense of uneasiness and wanted the army to retreat, but he could not retreat easily. Once he let go, once the Yan army was freed from the fetters and restraints, the Yan army would inevitably go straight to the Song Dynasty. The Yan army, which was short of food, was afraid
There will inevitably be a burning, killing and looting!
Liao Nanqing, who had led his men to check on the other side, came back on horseback. After the defeat at Hukou, he had few men under his command and it was difficult to form an army alone. Now he was at Wu Qunlie's side.
Approaching Wu Qunlie, after reporting the situation, he suggested: "Sir, this place can be attacked by fire. Once the fire breaks out, he will be burned to pieces!"
Wu Qunlie shook his head slightly, "Who is Meng Shanming? How can he not know who he is when he is there?"
Although I said this, I really don't understand it, and the other party's behavior is completely strange.
Liao Nanqing said: "Whether he knows it or not, we can attack him with fire. How he responds is his business. We can just harass him. If something changes, we can retreat quickly. Anyway, we won't lose anything. There is no need to
Worry. My lord, all the troops of the Yan army have entered the mountains. It is a good time to take action. We can quickly order all the troops to attack at the same time. As long as we can annihilate the Yan army, what if we turn these Luoshan groups into ashes?"
"Yes!" Wu Qunlie nodded in agreement, "Okay! Let's do it like this. When someone comes, immediately notify all ministries to prepare kerosene and other flammable materials."
"Yes!" The herald took the order and left.
But while they were still preparing for the fire, the horses in the army suddenly became restless, their hooves moved wildly, and they neighed incessantly. It took a lot of effort to control them.
The unusual uneasy reaction of the horses also made the Song army uneasy. Wu Qunlie in the army was even more surprised and doubtful. He knew that the horses must have noticed something before others.
Looking at Qunluo Mountain again, birds are flying everywhere.
Until the faint roar came, and even the sound of water waves came from the valley, Wu Qunlie subconsciously thought of something, and the hair on his body stood up in shock, and he suddenly shouted: "Get out! Get out!" He hurriedly said
He hurriedly ran towards his horse.
Boom! A wave of water turned out of the valley ahead, and the collision of water set off a stormy sea. The water coming from the path seemed to destroy everything.
Such a frightening scene suddenly appeared. The army led by Wu Qunlie was completely panicked. They were in complete chaos. They couldn't care about anything. They dropped their things and turned around and ran away.
The general who jumped on his horse turned around and galloped, but he couldn't run fast in the chaotic army.
Behind the hurriedly fleeing army, the rolling torrent quickly caught up, and the crowd was swept away, or the figures were swept away by the torrent, and the ant-like crowd was swallowed up piece by piece, and the frightened screams of ghosts and wolves could be heard.
As soon as the torrent came out of the mountain, its rolling momentum gradually slowed down and opened in all directions, but it was enough to flood the scattered army.
Not only Wu Qunlie's own men and horses suffered this disaster, but the Song State's Jiangfang troops and horses from all sides of Qunluo Mountain suffered from this disaster almost at the same time.
Most of the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom did not know that this would happen. They stood on the mountain and watched the ruthless scene of water and fire. The shock of the torrential waves crashing against the mountain was shocking.
At this time, the soldiers knew why they wanted to go up the mountain.
Lu Zheng, who was standing behind Meng Shanming's wheelchair with Luo Da'an, looked shocked. Gradually, he understood something.
Looking at Meng Shanming who was calm and composed in the wheelchair, and then looking at Luo Daan who was calm and calm at the side, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. What was it about his good suggestions that made Meng Shuai take him in? He really thought too much and was ashamed.
People too!
After being taught a lesson vividly by Meng Shanming, Lu Zheng realized his own ignorance and insignificance.
