Han Shizu

Chapter 50

Yangtoushan stretches for dozens of miles from east to west, perfectly separating the two states of Ze and Lu, and has been the state and county boundary of the two places since ancient times.There are beautiful mountains and dense pine forests. It is a place with beautiful scenery. However, the most famous mountain is the grottoes of different sizes, as well as the Buddha statues, temple monuments, and stone pagodas. This is a place with a very deep cultural heritage.

At the foot of the mountain, there is the village of Shennong Tuanchi, but at this time it has been occupied by the Khitan army going north, and the platform is located in the village.It is said that twenty or thirty kilometers away from the southwest is the site of the Battle of Changping.

The Khitan's military camps are set up according to the danger, and stand according to the obstacles, and they are very rigorous.However, due to the terrain, the danger is not a strange one, and the obstacles are not absolute obstacles, so it is not possible to be a single man.

In the evening, after inspecting the barracks, Geng Chongmei got interested and climbed the high slope behind the village to overlook the foot of the North Mountain.The twilight was dark, the sky was dark, and scattered lights were already lit up in the small villages. In contrast, the surrounding Khitan military camps were dotted with dots.

The scene at the foot of the mountain should have been quiet and serene, but the smell of gunpowder smoke, accompanied by iron horses and swords, filled the air.In fact, if it weren't for Geng Chongmei's serious military discipline, the village at the foot of the mountain would have been razed to the ground.

A gust of night wind blew, driving the surrounding vegetation and making rustling sounds. It was obviously spring, but there was a sense of bleakness.Geng Chongmei shivered as the wind blew on her body.

He has already reached the age of knowing the destiny, the march is hard, there is no time to rest, and the pressure of heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Geng Chongmei is now physically and mentally exhausted.One was not careful, and was almost blown over by this breeze.

The fang soldiers who were guarding him hurriedly called to support him.

Gently heaving a sigh of relief, Geng Chongmei greeted, "Go back to camp!"

"Senior Commander." After returning to the camp, the sky was completely dark. A general with a big shoulder and a round waist walked into the tent and bowed respectfully to Geng Chongmei.

This is Jieduya General, and he is also a descendant of his Geng clan. He waved his hand, and Geng Chongmei asked, "How is the military spirit?"

"It's been appeased, it's just that you strictly ordered to stop the grass valley and killed the two ** Chinese women's sergeants. The soldiers in each battalion are very dissatisfied," the general said.

Geng Chongmei frowned, and her voice was a little cold: "Violating military discipline, ignoring the orders of the generals, it is not right to die!"

Seeing this, Ya Jiang said disapprovingly: "Jieshuai, since the south, all the armies of Daliao and Liao have been plundering grass and plundering goods. This is what the Son of Heaven clearly indicated. Why do you have to be soft-hearted and let the army's heart be unstable."

From the attitude of this general, we can see the current situation of the Khitan army, whether it is Khitan, Hu or Han, their minds are full of adultery and looting.The military discipline is sloppy, such an army, no matter how many people, are not afraid.

Hearing his words, Geng Chongmei was angry and scolded: "We came out to fight!"

The general murmured immediately: "Fighting does not hinder the grassy valley."

As soon as the words fell, Geng Chongmei smashed the case of the lower army table with force, and then stared fiercely at the general, seeing that his hair was straight.

"That's it! What's going on at Shangdang? Can the scouts find out the news?" Geng Chongmei asked after taking a deep breath.

"The Hedong Army is indeed approaching Shangdang City. There are a lot of people, maybe more than our army. The four gates of Shangdang City are closed, and they should be waiting for our rescue!" military intelligence report.

"Really still?" Geng Chongmei's face was thoughtful, and her tone seemed a little surprised.

"Jieshuai, since Shangdang is asking for help, our army should go north and defeat the horses in Hedong first. But the last general will look at you, but hesitant. Why is this?" Tooth general was very curious and said. Doubt in mind.

"You didn't notice anything wrong?"

"what?"

Geng Chongmei's Zihei face put on a bit of complicated suspicion: "According to the messenger sent by Zhao Xingqian a few days ago, the Hedong Army was stationed at Xiuting, a hundred miles north of Shangdang, and there was no movement from the south. The army was approaching Luzhou, and suddenly went south? Why didn't I receive a letter from Zhao Xingqian for help in the intervening days? Yesterday, a messenger suddenly came from the south, but he heard that the generals of the Hedong Army were approaching the city!"

After a pause, Geng Chongmei continued: "The movements of the Hedong army are also somewhat suspicious. If I lead the army, I should take advantage of the unrest within the party and go straight to the city. Even if I hear our army is coming, I should send a side army south to occupy the sheep's head. To block and delay our army, so as not to affect their capture of Shangdang. Although this Sheep's Head Mountain is not a natural danger, it is still a place to rely on. And the small group of Hedong cavalry is not so much harassing our army. , more like surveillance."

Geng Chongmei's remarks made the general stunned for a while, and then he was stunned and surprised: "You mean that there was something wrong with the messenger yesterday? If so, why did you let that go? Go back and let Zhao Xingqian break through?"

"Soon, I will be able to confirm the suspicion of this old man, whether it is justified!" Geng Chongmei said quietly.

There was silence in the tent for a while, and the general murmured suddenly, "All of this is your guess. If the Shangdang situation is true, and you ask Zhao Xingqian to abandon the city, wouldn't you hand Luzhou over to the Hedong Army?"

Hearing this, Geng Chongmei replied indifferently: "A Shangdang city cannot compare to our army of thousands!"

"The emperor asked you to control Luzhou and prevent the Hedong army from going south. If you suspect that you are wrong and you have lost Luzhou, how can you explain it to the emperor?"

Facing the doubts of the generals, Geng Chongmei said very shrewdly: "It is naturally the best to be able to take Luzhou and take the risk of becoming the Hedong Army. If it can't be done, then we can only choose another prefecture and county to prevent it. "

Seeing Geng Chongmei's cautious expression, Fang Jiang always felt that he was making a big fuss: "I heard that the commander of the Hedong Army is a yellow-mouthed child who is still young, are you being too careful?"

"What kind of person is Liu Zhiyuan, he can entrust the army to a young child?" Geng Chongmei waved his hand a little irritably: "Go, send someone to keep an eye on the movement in the north, don't let it go!"

"Yes."

"If it were you, how would this battle be fought?" To the north, in the camp under Shangdang City, Liu Chengyou asked Xiang Xun for his opinion.Liu Chengyou was already regarded as a confidant of this bodyguard.

Xiang Xun didn't answer directly, but asked calmly: "It depends on whether Your Highness wants to defend Luzhou or defeat the enemy army in the south!"

"Defeat, of course, it's better to wipe it all out!" This time, Liu Chengyou replied very firmly, and waved his hand.

"His Royal Highness, judging from Geng Chongmei's actions, this is a very suspicious and very cautious person. He can be described as scheming. He will never rush into the army without knowing the specific situation of Shangdang!" Xiang Xun Only then did Liu Chengyou analyze it: "And the situation of Shangdang can't be kept secret forever. He sent Li Chongju back to spread this letter to test, I'm afraid he will be waiting for our response in Yangtoushan."

Liu Chengyou nodded, but said directly in his mouth: "Geng Chongmei is not easy to deal with, and I have no intention to fight with him again. Tell me, how to fight this battle!"

"How to gallop to the party that night, how to rush to Sheep's Head Mountain tonight!" Hearing this, Xiang Xun said.

"Night attack?" Liu Chengyou asked frowning.

Xiang Xun shook his head saying no.
