Han Shizu

Chapter 49

Under the Shangdang City, a scene of soldiers lingering in the city has already been created. Thousands of Hedong soldiers and horses are menacing, from the north and east two directions, standing up the village to threaten.As for Shangdang City, the four gates were closed, and the whole city was filled with an atmosphere of "frightening", and even the flag raised by the wind at the top of the city seemed extremely weak.

Of course, there is a tacit understanding both inside and outside the city.

In order to prevent some unspeakable accidents, the soldiers guarding the city were replaced by soldiers of the Third Army of Longqi.

The Luzhou army that was originally stationed was transferred to the outside of the city and divided into two battalions to be stationed together with the Longqi Army.Under the circumstance that the military is full of heart, no one thinks there is anything wrong with this arrangement, or, knowing in the heart, does not say it.

"Stopped?" In the handsome tent, Liu Chengyou was a little surprised when he heard the report from the scout.

Hearing the question, the bowed soldier repeated it again: "After the Khitan army entered the territory of Luzhou, it stopped marching, no longer going north, and it took more than an hour to stop!"

"Where's Han Tong?"

"Han Dutou is still leading people to entangle with the Qidan Houqi to monitor the enemy!"

"Geng Chongmei stopped moving forward, why is this?" Liu Chengyou asked subconsciously.

Previously, Liu Chengyou had deliberately played tricks on him, intending to trick Gao Ping's Liao army northwards, and attacked him as he waited for work.After several confounding actions, Geng Chongmei really moved his troops, pulling out the camp and heading north, and Liu Chengyou also made a lot of noise in Shangdang to cooperate.

To be reasonable, if there is no accident, everything should develop according to Liu Chengyou's plan.Now, however, something unexpected seems to have happened.

How could the little soldier answer Liu Chengyou's question? He blinked, stunned.

"Maybe it's a normal rest." Seeing Liu Chengyou looking at himself, Xiang Xun gave a guess.

"When he received a request for help, Shangdang was at stake, so he should quickly march in to help." Liu Chengyou said.

Xiang Xun shook his head and explained: "His Royal Highness has also said before that Gaoping and Shangdang are separated by a hundred miles, and there are mountains in the middle. In the case of our army's soldiers approaching the city, we rushed a hundred miles to come to help. This is very dangerous, and the Khitan Army will not ignore this."

"It makes sense to say so!" Liu Chengyou nodded.

Xiang Xun paused and continued: "Furthermore, if Shangdang has not fallen into my hands and is still in Zhao Xingqian's hands, even if the Khitan army is only stationed a few dozen miles away, it will still have a deterrent effect. How dare our army be there? If there is an enemy behind him and attack the city by force, perhaps that Geng Chongmei has also taken this into consideration."

After listening to Xiang Xun's analysis, Liu Chengyou was stunned for a moment, but it wasn't that he felt unreasonable, but he was a little aware that he seemed to think things too simply.Even if I repeatedly remind myself that fighting is not a child's play, but when I really do it, I still can't help but take it for granted, thinking about things is too one-sided.

Quickly stabilizing his mind, Liu Chengyou ordered the soldiers who came to report: "Send Han Tong, check again, and let me firmly monitor the movements of the Khitan army!"

"Yes!"

When the soldiers retreated, Liu Chengyou had an indifferent expression, and walked a few steps in the tent with his hands behind his back. He raised his head and looked at Xiang Xun for a long time: "I have a vague hunch that this is a plan to lure the enemy by waiting for work, I'm afraid it won't succeed."

Hearing this, Xiang Xun gave Liu Chengyou a slightly surprised look, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Your Highness, let's watch how the enemy's situation develops."

"That's the only way." Liu Chengyou took a deep breath: "Li Chongju hasn't come back yet?"

Li Chongju was the personal guard that Liu Chengyou sent to Liaoning camp to "seek help". He was a native of Shangdang. He was a loyal and disciplined young man.

Liu Chengyou was asking nonsense. If he came back, there would be no reason not to return to him.

"Nothing will happen," he whispered, and Liu Chengyou's forehead gradually locked.

Not long after, news of the Liao Army came again.The enemy army not only did not continue to go north, but instead set up camp according to the sheep's head mountain, but it had no intention of advancing at all.

Such news made Liu Chengyou's mind sink a bit more until Li Chongju returned.

"What happened to the enemy army?" Looking at the young guard, Liu Chengyou didn't realize that his tone was a little irritable.

Li Chongju is more than 20 years old, but he looks very calm, that kind of honest and pure calm.He quickly talked about the situation in the enemy camp and meeting Geng Chongmei.

"After asking to see Geng Chongmei, the humble post was imprisoned. Until this morning, the enemy army moved north and stopped at Yangtoushan. After that, Geng Chongmei met again and asked the humble post to return 'Zhao Xingqian' and let him abandon the party. Going south, he led the Khitan army to meet him in the south." Li Chongju said, "Your Highness, Geng Chongmei seems to be suspicious!"

After listening to Li Chongju's report, Liu Chengyou's face twitched. He was not a fool at all. When he contacted the enemy's movements, he couldn't help but sighed, "I don't know, what went wrong?"

"Doubt, there must be doubt. However, Geng Chongmei sent Li Chongju back to spread this letter, I'm afraid it's a test!" Xiang Xun said.

Liu Chengyou slowly fell into deep thinking.

"His Royal Highness, how do you reply to Geng Chongmei, or do you want to go again in a humble position?"

Li Chongju's questioning made Liu Chengyou regain his senses, looked at him, and said directly: "If you go again, I'm afraid you won't be able to save your life. Forget it, you've worked hard too, go down and rest."

"Yes."

After a while, Liu Chengyou's complexion returned to his usual calm, but there was a hint of unwillingness in those eyes.

"I take this plan too much for granted. I'm talking about war on paper and thinking of war is too simple. What kind of trick to lure the enemy is not fooled at all, it's just ridiculous" Liu Chengyou and Xiang Xun were the only two in the account, Liu Chengyou made a self-examination, and his tone was full of self-deprecation.

Seeing Liu Chengyou's performance, Xiang Xun softly comforted him and said: "Your Highness need not be discouraged, in today's world, for the generals, you should use your vigor and strength, try your best to fight your way, your Highness wants to be a wise general, to subdue people, than how many brave ones. husband!"

"Being in front of the enemy, but the enemy is always changing. When you are guided by the situation, make decisions on the spot, and adapt to the situation, there is no one that will not change, and it will come according to the plan. Geng Chongmei, I am not familiar with him. I don't know his general. Where can one determine its response?"

Xiang Xun's words are naturally reasonable, but Liu Chengyou listened, but he felt a little strange, and suddenly asked: "You seem to have expected this situation a long time ago?"

Facing Liu Chengyou's gaze, Xiang Xun shook his head calmly: "How can a lowly position have such foresight. I just discussed it with Guo Patrol. If Geng Chongmei was more cautious, he would definitely not come to the north recklessly."

"Guo Rong?" Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows, his mood seemed to have returned to normal: "Why didn't you remind me?"

"Uh." Xiang Xun opened his mouth and thought for a moment before answering with a smile: "If that Geng Chongmei is an unreliable man, regardless of whether he will lead the army to the north, then the strategy designed by His Highness can be described as a brilliant plan."

Glancing at Xiang Xun, Liu Chengyou waved his hand a little disinterestedly: "I didn't expect you to speak like this to Xiang Xun."

At this time, he was emotional, the battlefield was not used to play tricks.People's hearts are always the most unpredictable, wishful thinking about any strategy, I am afraid that I will lose myself in the end.In war, resourcefulness is of course important, but sometimes it is necessary to rely on hard power.

After getting up, Liu Chengyou began to think seriously: "Since Geng Chongmei is not in the loop, we have to change the way of play!"
