Chapter seven hundred and seventy-fifth sound east hit west?
Li Siye arranged for Zhang Xiaojing to join the Anxi Army led by Feng Changqing and serve as the captain of a crossbow team. Feng Changqing didn't pay much attention to the relationship captain who came in through the back door of the Taiwei, thinking that it was Li Siye
A descendant of Gaoling County, my hometown.
The Anxi Army has strong combat capabilities, but also has a bad style and likes to bully students. But Zhang Xiaojing came from the Anxi Army. He is considered a veteran among veterans. How can he be bullied by these new recruits?
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the traditional Shangyuan Festival. The soldiers sat in the outdoor camp and talked with great interest about the prosperous scene of Chang'an in the past on Shangyuan Night.
"At that time, thousands of colorful lanterns could extend from the Imperial City Gate to the Golden Light Gate to the west and the Chunming Gate to the east. Pedestrians on the street rubbed shoulders, businessmen and travelers from all walks of life came and went, and ladies competed with each other for beauty. But
I’m afraid we won’t see such a prosperous scene in the next few years.”
"How many years?" Zhang Xiaojing said sarcastically from the side: "I'm afraid we will never see such a scene again until the end of the Tang Dynasty."
Several young officers nearby glared at him, but Zhang Xiaojing seemed oblivious, as if he thought it was natural to break up their dreams.
Li Siye was standing on a nearby hill, accompanied by his two confidants Michagan and Cen Shen, admiring the red sun that was about to rise in the east.
He suddenly said inappropriately: "A few days ago, the emperor's envoy came from Shu and hoped that I could quickly stand up to support Li Lin. However, I did not give him a chance to speak and only gave him an ambiguous answer."
Michagan asked in surprise: "Why didn't my lord agree to the emperor's request? This is a great opportunity for my lord to keep his military power."
Li Siye did not answer his words, but pointed to the blush on the horizon and said: "The sunset is as beautiful as the morning sun, but no one wants to appreciate the scene when the sunset ends. The era of the past has ended long ago and will never come again. Besides, you
If you don't keep it secret, you will lose your integrity, and if you don't keep it secret, you will lose your virginity. No matter how you look at the emperor, he doesn't look like a careful person. I can't really tie myself to his boat, otherwise it will be difficult for us to escape when the boat capsizes."
He said leisurely and full of hope: "After experiencing this setback, I finally understood that as long as you have absolute power and a clear mind, you can be invincible without being as clever as a demon.
"
In the distance, several fast horses quickly ran toward the Tang Army's camp. Li Siye suddenly looked solemn and waved to the two of them: "Let's go down and see what's going on."
They arrived at the camp at the foot of the mountain. Zang Xieye, Feng Changqing and others were already standing in front of his tent, crossing their hands and saying to him: "We sent a detective to report that the rebel Cui Ganyou's troops stationed in Xin'an suddenly
Attack Mianchi, please give me instructions from the doctor."
The king of Chu, Li Yu, also came to Li Siye and asked him about his decision: "The rebels are coming fiercely, so please make a decision early."
Zang Xieye quickly stepped forward and volunteered: "The final general is willing to lead his flying tiger cavalry to aid Mianchi and give the enemy a surprise attack from behind."
Li Siye held his beard and thought carefully, and mused: "The defense of Mianchi County is much stronger than that of Xindian, and Guo Ziyi and Shuo Fang's army are fully equipped, including Duan Xiushi's Hanhai cavalry and Geluolu cavalry, as well as the Bahanna cavalry. The overall strength is not comparable.
Our side is weak, and Cui Qianyou's strategy will not be so simple. You can hold your troops for the time being and send another group of scouts to Mianchi to explore."
Li Yu persuaded anxiously: "Lieutenant, we must not miss the opportunity to fight. We should send troops to Mianchi immediately. If Guo Ziyi is not Cui Qianyou's opponent, we will regret it too late."
But Li Siye waved his hand calmly: "Guo Ziyi is a calm and brave man. If Cui Qianyou is really a powerful enemy, he will definitely clear the country and choose to stand firm and delay the enemy until our army comes to help. Therefore, the closer the battle is, the more vigilant it is. It will not be too late to make a decision after the enemy's movements are fully investigated."
Most of the generals remained silent, doubting Li Siye's judgment in their hearts, but they did not dare to directly object. Li Siye smiled and said: "You don't believe it? There will be changes after another half an hour. Please be patient, even if My judgment was wrong, and it won’t have any impact on the battle situation for even half an hour.”
A mellow voice in the crowd said: "I believe what the Taiwei said."
The generals followed the voice and looked over, and the one who interrupted was actually the eunuch Yu Chaoen. Although everyone didn't have a good impression of eunuchs, the emperor in the court now places great emphasis on these baseless guys. He couldn't easily offend them, so they had to pretend that they didn't have them. hear.
Li Siye didn't express any help to this person, and turned back to the tent to sit alone and wait for the news. Yu Chaoen quickly followed behind him and said with an attentive smile: "I think the Taiwei also knows that I am visiting Zang Zhongcheng." The thing is that we are just doing errands under the orders of His Majesty and Duke Xi. Chao En really doesn’t think so in his heart. The Taiwei is my benefactor. How could I do something detrimental to the Taiwei? Please relax, Taiwei. "The kindness you showed me yesterday will be repaid in kind in the future."
He didn't know whether the eunuch Yu Chaoen was genuine or fake. Even when he saved him, he had no idea about such a young man, and it was even more impossible to understand him now. As for his words, just listen to them. Don’t take it seriously. Isn’t there a lot of things in this world where favors and favors compete with enemies?
"You don't have to worry, Fish Supervisor. We are both serving the imperial court and His Majesty. It's fine for you and me to fulfill our duties. As for whether to repay the favor or not, I just did it casually back then, so you don't have to worry about it as a burden."
Yu Chaoen glanced at Li Siye from the corner of his eye. Seeing that there was no other change on his face, a faint smile appeared on his face: "In this case, I will retreat."
After he raised the curtain and left, the generals and lieutenants of the army were also waiting outside Li Siye's tent. From time to time they paid attention to the observation tower at the commanding heights of the camp, and after a while they called out to ask if the sent out scouts had returned.
Less than half an hour later, a horse riding on smoke and dust came rushing towards the camp. The scouts got off their horses and stood outside the camp. King Li Yu of Chu led the generals to come forward and asked in person: "Where are you from? Find out. What details did you get?”
The scout was panting and couldn't say a word before he paused and gasped: "I came from Shuofang Army... Dr. Guo. The rebels have been dispatched since early this morning..."
King Li Yu of Chu asked hurriedly: "Is the main force of the rebel army attacking Shuofang Army and Beiting Army?"
"No...no, the rebels sent small groups of infantry and cavalry to constantly challenge our army. Doctor Guo knew that this was a trick of the rebels, and he was afraid that the rebels would attack from the east to the west. He ordered me to ride a fast horse to report the news. Please tell me. The king and the lieutenant must not be fooled, let alone send troops to support our army."
Li Yu nodded confusedly. While he was still understanding the sudden news, another scout horse suddenly came from the front. He turned over and dismounted from his horse, knelt down and crossed his hands in front of the camp gate: "Report! The 70,000-strong rebel army came out in full force and avoided the main road. Come to attack our army, we are less than ten miles away from the camp gate!"
Li Yu was shocked. He patted his forehead and said, "It's really dangerous. Hurry, go and inform the captain."
Hearing the shouts outside, Li Siye had already walked out of the tent and ordered to the generals standing in front of the camp gate: "Feng Changqing! Lead the Anxi Army to form the left and right wings of the front army and form a formation in front of the camp gate. Yan Xiaosi
Lead the artillery battalion behind the front army's formation, loaded and ready to go. Zang Xiye leads the flying tigers to ride on the left and right wings behind the front army. The other armies are all in the Chinese army's formation, no delay!"
"Here!" The generals crossed their arms and responded to the order. They immediately went down to summon troops and horses to come out from the four directions of the camp gate. According to Li Siye's order, they laid out the depth of the phalanx in front and behind the camp gate. The artillery battalion was hidden behind the front army.
In order to kill, the left and right formations of the front army protrude in front of the main formation, like two gates serving as movable barriers for the artillery camp. The flying tiger cavalry distributed on the left and right of the artillery camp can launch attacks on the enemy's infantry formation at any time.
