Yang Wenguang was startled and stood up to watch. He saw a cavalry at the foot of the distant mountain running quickly towards the military stronghold. The black armor had no reflection at all, and there was only a red flag stuck on the back of the leading soldier.
, blowing with the wind.
Whether marching or fighting, Wu Sheng's army would consciously form a battle formation. They seemed to demand orderliness at every turn. Yang Wenguang knew at a glance that Wu Sheng's army was coming. Such an army was the only one in the Song Dynasty that pursued orderliness.
branch.
Ma Jinhu looked at Yang Wenguang maliciously without saying a word, but just spread his hands.
Yang Wenguang sighed, slapped a fine short knife inlaid with gold and jade on Ma Jinhu's hand, called for personal guards, and prepared to take off his armor and rest. This army was coming, so he didn't need to be ready to attack at all times.
.
Ma Jinhu stood happily on the military base, playing with the short knife in his hand. He had long been interested in this knife, and asked Yang Wenguang for one, but he refused to give it to him, saying that he would give it to his daughter as a dowry in the future. Now this knife finally came to him.
What he is holding now is a knife. After the war, he might be able to get Yang Wenguang's daughter to be his son's wife...
Di Qing had already received a briefing from Yu Jing, and knew that Wu Shengjun's entire army had set off for the war zone. Now when he heard the report from Tan Ma, he didn't expect that they had arrived so quickly, without any intention of being sloppy. He nodded appreciatively and ordered the deputy general to
Zhang Yu went out to greet him at the gate of the village. He was just a governor, so there was no reason to go out to greet him himself.
Sun Jie, the deputy envoy of Zuozangku in Xijing, heard about the arrival of Wu Sheng's army and went out to greet him with Zhang Yu. If Wu Sheng's army had not launched an attack in Guirenpu, he might have died in Guirenpu. He never had the chance to thank Yun Zheng. At this time
Naturally, I want to thank you immediately.
Zhang Yu came to the camp gate and saw the cavalry of the brigade waiting to enter the camp. The leader was not Yun Zheng, but Liang Ji. He was stunned for a moment and then laughed. Yun Zheng was not Di Qing's martial artist who could compete with others and lead the vanguard in the march.
The matter was not something done by an army general. I had followed Di Qing for so long that I had forgotten this truth. To be honest, Yun Zheng's approach was the right one.
"General Wu Sheng's army and horse army are waiting for Liang Ji in Yu, requesting to enter the camp!" Liang Ji did not dismount, but beat his fist on his chest and shouted to Zhang Yu to sign up.
Zhang Yu had never seen such a camp entry ceremony. As a general, he also knew that it was not arrogance for the cavalry not to dismount and salute, but he just didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ma Jinhu knew Wu Shengjun's rules. He had met Wu Shengjun several times when he went to Dujiangyan to do business. He explained Wu Shengjun's rules to Zhang Yu in a low voice. Zhang Yu suddenly realized it, clasped his fists and said: "General Liang can enter the camp!"
Zhang Jie watched Wu Shengjun's cavalry enter the military camp and asked Ma Jinhu strangely: "This man is too arrogant. I waited in front of the door to greet him, but he only signed up and didn't even say a polite word."
Ma Jinhu laughed and said: "Old Zhang, please don't harm others. If he dares to get off his horse and chat with you, a military judge will come out to trouble him immediately. A beating with a military stick is the lightest thing. Enter the military camp and leave the military camp."
Wu Shengjun does not allow small talk at this time. Lao Liang is also a cheerful and good man, as you will know when you enter the military camp."
Zhang Jie shook his head and said, "Is there such a rule?"
Zhang Yu watched all the cavalry enter the camp and said with a smile: "Wu Sheng's army is a Xiang army. It is timid and has many problems. If it is not controlled by strict military laws, who has the ability to train a puddle of mud into a strong army? This praises the Japanese army and other forbidden troops."
But it’s far worse.”
Zhang Jie snorted and said: "Praise the Japanese army? Fengjie, you think too highly of them. Do you think there are still many Japanese soldiers who dare to go into battle with knives? After this war, I will return to Xijing and Lao Ma will return to Huanzhou. You may
We are going to serve as errands for the Japanese army. In the future, we brothers may not have a chance to kill the enemy together like this."
While the three of them were talking, they turned around and entered the military camp. As soon as they walked in, they saw Liang Ji unhooking his helmet and walking over with four small jars under his arms. Before anyone arrived, an apology came over him: "Oh!
Ah, please don’t be offended by the three generals. If it weren’t for the military law, I, Old Liang, wouldn’t be able to sit still on the horse. If you have three superior officers to greet you, Liang Ji can’t afford it!”
Among the three people, Ma Jinhu and Liang Ji were acquaintances. He was overjoyed to see Liang Ji holding four jars under his arms. He took the two jars first and held them in his arms. He said, "This is for nothing, isn't it?"
Liang Ji smiled and said: "Yes, it's the best. When I see the three elder brothers coming out to greet me, I have nothing to be filial to, but I can still handle this thing. Please accept it with pleasure. Don't dislike it. Just treat it as your younger brother."
I apologize for the rudeness just now."
Ma Jinhu was overjoyed. He said hello to Zhang Yu and Zhang Jie, and then turned to find Yang Wenguang. Alcohol was not allowed in Di Shuai's camp. Now that the ban has not been promulgated, it is only proper to have a few sips quickly.
Zhang Yu patted open the mud seal on the jar, smelled the smell of wine and said in surprise: "The wine has a strong aroma, it really is a good wine!"
Liang Ji explained the origin and benefits of the wine to Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu was also overjoyed. Knowing that Zhang Jie owed Wu Shengjun a favor, he magnanimously entrusted Zhang Jie with the arrangement of Wu Shengjun's camp and went there with the wine jar.
Looking for Di Qing, although it is forbidden to drink alcohol while marching, as soldiers are all good drinkers, so as long as you don't drink too much, it will be fine...
Zhang Jie took Liang Ji to designate a campsite for them in the military camp. Then he respectfully saluted Liang Ji with clasped fists and said, "If Brother Liang hadn't bravely charged into the formation to disperse the enemy in Guiren Pu, Zhang Jie would have fought long ago.
He died on the battlefield, but Zhang Jie dare not forget the virtue of helping him."
Liang Ji hurriedly supported Zhang Jie and said: "You and I are fighting together. Today I will save you, and tomorrow you will save me. This kind of thing is clearly stated there. If Brother Zhang still remembers this matter, then he will be angry and should not be regarded as Liang."
We are brothers who fight together..."
Zhang Yu held a jar of wine and entered Di Qing's handsome tent. He told Di Qing about the arrival of Wu Shengjun's forward battalion. He took out a beautiful silver coin with a chain from his arms and threw it into the wine jar. He finished speaking.
Then he took it out and saw that the silver coins were still as bright as new. Then he put the wine jar on the table and planned to drink some with Di Qing.
Di Qing made two gestures on the map with his hand and said: "It's not bad. The Wusheng Army's forward battalion marches a hundred miles a day. Their infantry should arrive at the army camp in three days. The marching speed is good. There is nothing to say about this.
It’s time to stop saying in the camp these days that people are afraid of the enemy and are too timid to fight.”
Zhang Yu poured a bowl of wine for Di Qing and said with a smile: "I have always been confused, Zhong Rong and I both thought that Wu Shengjun would not come to Xiping Prefecture to fight, so why are you the only one who insists that they will come?
Wu Shengjun went to war this time not through the Privy Council, but through the Queen's connections. Such an army basically comes to get military exploits to get by, so why does Duke Dee look down on them?"
Di Qing drank the wine in the bowl and said in a deep voice: "Do you think Wu Shengjun robbed us of our military exploits?"
Zhang Yu shook his head and said: "That's not true. It is obvious from the battlefield that although they are suspected of being cunning, their military merits were earned with one sword and one shot, and they did not usurp the military merits of their brothers.
There are mountains of corpses in front of Wenquan Pass, and the stench continues for more than thirty miles in the wind. The place has almost become a ghost. Wu Shengjun's murderous intention is evident. Now we are here not so much against Nong Zhigao, but as against Nong Zhigao.
Jiaozhi, Dali State, I am worried that once Wu Shengjun becomes more aggressive, the situation here will be out of control."
"Take care of it?" Di Qing raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yu. After drinking another bowl of wine, he put down the wine bowl and said, "Tell me, how do you think we should put a stop to the war here?"
Zhang Yu, who was glanced at by Di Qing, felt as if he had been whipped. He quickly apologized and said, "Meng Lang, a low-ranking official, has spoken nonsense about state affairs. Please forgive me!"
After Di Qing drank another bowl of wine, he held the wine jar with the wine bowl and knocked on the table: "If we want to defeat Nong Zhigao, we have to defeat Jiaozhi and Dali together.
From a war perspective, this is the most cost-effective approach. The cancer of Nong Zhigao must be eliminated. If we can inflict heavy damage on Jiaozhi and Dali at the same time, we can at least ensure that there will be no war in the south for twenty years.
Nowadays, Xixia in the west is recuperating and recovering from its injuries. Liao in the east has also entered the stage of rest and reorganization after the battle with Xixia in Heishan completely exposed its true weakness. This is the best time for the Song Dynasty to use troops against the south.
.
Zhang Yu, in this battle, we must do our best to weaken Jiaozhi and Dali. We must not only let them see hope, but also hurt them. Only in this way can we continue to bleed Jiaozhi and Dali. Such
It's hard to decide the severity, so remember, don't think about political affairs when fighting, Yun Zheng is our partner, don't be disrespectful!"
Zhang Yu came out of Di Qing's camp dejectedly and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. As Di Qing's subordinate for many years, he knew very well the current situation of his boss.
Ever since Di Qing brought himself and other generals to the capital eleven years ago, the list happened to be released and the roll call was held at Donghua Gate. Some people were very envious of these gold list nominees. Di Qing encouraged his friends and encouraged everyone to work hard.
You can also be a good man.
But he didn't expect that this sentence would become Jiao Huang's driving force. A general with great military exploits was about to be killed by Han Qi as if he were a piece of grass. Di Shuai stepped forward to plead for mercy, but was told ":
The person who sings the first prize outside Donghua Gate is considered a good man, so what kind of good man is he?"
Zhang Yu still remembers Jiao Huang's head hanging outside the camp gate and the commander crying bitterly...
Unknowingly, Zhang Yu wandered to the Wu Sheng Army camp and saw that it was very busy. The most annoying thing was that these people actually built another wall in the military camp, effectively separating themselves from the rest of the Western Army.
There are two distinct camps.
The words "Scholars are bones, warriors are flesh" flashed into Zhang Yu's head like lightning. When he looked at Wu Shengjun again, he felt that there was a thin layer of mist in front of him, and he could no longer see clearly.
