Yangpingpu is the northernmost place in Han Dynasty. After crossing Yumen Pass, you can see the endless prairie.
At the gate of Yumen Pass, Zhang Gu stood leading the army, pointing his whip at the wall of Yumen City a little far away, and proudly said to the generals and lieutenants beside him.
"If the Jade Gate is broken, we can fight back. With the Jade Gate in the strong city as a basis, we will no longer be afraid of Tule."
Liang Pu was dressed in silver armor, and the white horse under his crotch was kicking its hooves uneasily. Hearing this, he laughed:
"Today we broke through Yumen. Among the three routes, our middle route is the fastest. Let Su Lu also see that without him, our camp generals can still win the battle."
Behind Liang Pu, all the generals of the Dingding Army agreed.
"The Left Army was blocked in Beizheng and could not advance for more than ten days. The Su Army was only as strong as this."
"Generals who are always victorious are all blown up. There are no generals in the world who are always victorious, and Su Lu is no exception."
"If he is a victorious general, the Thule Army will not be able to stop him. This is nothing more than flattery from people in a small place who have never seen the world."
Zhang Gu's face was a little ugly. He still admired Su Lu very much. He was really good at defending the city, and he was very admirable at planning on the spot. However, perhaps Su Houye was not very good at fighting in the plains.
"Report"
A knight came from behind. The knight's face was dusty as he rushed over.
Zhang Gu's face straightened and he asked coldly: "What happened?"
The messenger shouted loudly: "Army order, General Zhang is asked to postpone the attack on Yumen and return to Lintao Tun Fort."
Zhang Gu's face darkened when he heard this. What the hell, he finally arrived at Yumen Pass and had to rush back to Lintao Tunbao. Are all the campers thinking with their toes? Marching for hundreds of miles is not good for the soldiers.
A huge burden.
Liang Pu had an idea: "General Zhang, why don't we start attacking now? By the time the messenger arrives, we will have already started fighting and will not be able to withdraw."
Zhang Gu's face turned as dark as charcoal when he heard this, and the way he looked at Liang Pu completely changed.
What the hell, Su Ping, the captain of the left army's first guard camp, listened to the deputy captain Ding Jian, ignored military orders, attacked rashly, and damaged a cavalry guard camp, and he still has a number on his head.
This Liang Pu has a vicious mind.
But if he can't attack, he is not as good as Su Lu. Thinking of this, Zhang Gu struggled and asked:
"Why do we need to return to the army? Our army will be able to attack the city soon. Once we get to Yumen, our camp strategy will be more than half successful."
The ordering soldier looked around and saw that the guardsmen were far away, so he lowered his voice and said:
"General He ordered that the camp's food and grass have been robbed continuously. Please go back and deliver the food and grass."
Zhang Gu's eyes widened and he asked me to go back to transport grain and grass. I am the commander-in-chief of an army. If I go back to transport grain and grass, am I transporting grain or eating grain?
After marching for several days, Zhang Gu finally rushed back to Lintao Tunbao at midnight.
After some rest, Zhang Gu entered the camp the next morning and met with the commanders who had temporarily set up camp inside the camp.
After checking the customs and official credentials outside the Chinese army's tent, the Chinese army guard waved his hand and let him go.
Xiao Cong and He Geng were looking at the defense map with their heads down, a group of military captains were discussing in low voices, Fan Wenshao was looking at various reports, and several chief officers were reviewing the reports like a dragon and a snake.
Zhang Gu clasped his fists in his chest and saluted He Geng and Xiao Cong.
"Commander, Zhang Gu has returned to the army. Please give me your instructions."
He Geng and Xiao Cong raised their heads, and the guards who were looking at the defense map also raised their heads and looked at Zhang Gu.
"You brat, I asked you to come back to transport food. You are in a mood."
He Geng laughed and cursed.
Hearing this, Xiao Cong said cheerfully: "Director Zhang, please don't be angry. Recruiting you back is just a temporary measure. Once the urgent need is solved, you will no longer be used to transport food. However, you will need to make a trip for the first two times."
.”
Fan Wenshao also raised his head: "The right army is attacking Wangxiang, and the left army is still in Beizheng. If the middle army goes down to Yumen, it will advance too far. If Tule gathers troops to attack your place."
Zhang Gu glanced at Fan Wenshao disdainfully. A mere official from the Jiedu government came to discuss military plans. He really thought he would fight.
"There is an order in the camp, and the general must obey it."
Zhang Gu said coldly.
A supervisor next to him said with admiration: "Captain Zhang has commanded well and even defeated a fortified city. He deserves to be the number one general in our Xuanfu."
A group of captains and soldiers also agreed in unison.
"Captain Zhang is very powerful. He went all the way to Yanzhou, Xitunling, and Yangpingpu cities. General Su Lu is still in Beizheng."
"General Su Lu can't compare with him, and neither can anyone else."
"The names are all false. Generals still have to look at their achievements. What's the use of bragging?"
These generals, officers, and lieutenants all know Zhang Gu's identity, he is a relative of He Geng, and he is also a member of the Zhang family of the current dynasty. Who wouldn't be able to give a few compliments and add icing on the cake?
Zhang Gu felt proud in his heart. Haha, his record was indeed the strongest among the three routes. It was natural for him to be praised a few times.
He Geng said sternly: "Okay, here's the camp order. Zhang Gu, please get ready and immediately lead the army to the Beiyang camp to transfer grain and grass."
Fan Wenshao, who was standing next to him, suddenly said: "It's better to let Mr. Su go. When Mr. Su comes, he will take on the responsibility of transporting the camp to Beiyang."
Xiao Cong sneered: "Okay, let Su Lu go and see who can stop Tule's 30,000 army with 3,000 troops. I will let him be the commander-in-chief of the left army."
There was no sound in the Chinese military tent for an instant.
Although the generals of the Jiedu Mansion dared to praise Zhang Gu and disparage Su Lu in front of Xiao Cong, when it came to the performance, no one dared to say that Zhang Gu could hold off 30,000 with 3,000.
Zhang Gu didn't dare either.
"Report, Marshal, a report of the victory of the Left Route Army."
The lieutenant of the Central Military Commission strode in with a military affairs brochure in his hand and said.
Xiao Cong smiled happily: "Speaking of Su Lu, Su Lu's victory document is here. I think it's time for Su Lu to leave Beizheng."
He Geng chuckled: "Old Xiao, you are overthinking. If you use three thousand as thirty thousand, if you can maintain the situation unchanged, Su Lu's contribution will be the first one."
The lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy has already begun to read the victory document.
"The Left Route Army broke through Tulebei Zheng City, killed 27,000 troops, and captured countless prisoners. The supplies included 157,000 jins of grain and grass, 23,800 taels of silver, and 3,000 pieces of armor..."
In the camp, except for the voice of the lieutenant, there was no sound.
Su Lu defeated Beizheng with three thousand against thirty thousand. Not only did he defeat Beizheng, he also wiped out more than twenty-seven thousand enemies.
As for the prisoners and captured materials, that is a trivial matter. The faces of the generals and lieutenants who just praised Zhang Gu as the best general in the north all turned red. Compared with Su Lu's record, Zhang Gu was not good at all.
"Report, report of the victory of the Left Route Army."
Another captain entered the Chinese army, holding a military affairs brochure in his hand.
He Geng had a heart attack, and Su Lu won again? He just went to Beizheng the day before yesterday, did he go to Suozibao again yesterday?
Impossible, impossible, no matter how fierce Su Lu is, he can't do it.
"read"
This was Xiao Cong's voice, which was obviously a little thicker than usual.
"At midnight the day before yesterday, I went down to Suozibao and killed three thousand enemies..."
