Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Li Yongqi didn't expect Song Jun to arrive the next day, and he was overjoyed.After getting the news, he waited outside the city early.In the afternoon, Zhang Chi and Li Shifu arrived, hurriedly greeted them into the city, and hosted a banquet.

As soon as he arrived in Suide, Zhang Chi sent scouts to scout around overnight.Mizhizhai in the north, Suipingzhai in the west, and Qingjian City in the south are not to be missed.If there is a golden army coming, it is impossible to have no news.

Sitting down on his seat, Zhang Chi said to Li Yongqi: "Suide is an important place in Yanyan. The general is able to abandon the dark and turn to the bright in time. It is really a blessing for our army. I have already told the Xuanfu, and I will definitely reuse it. There are many fortifications around Suide. It is an important place to compete with Xia Guo, the general will give up his mind."

Li Yongqi knew that his greatest role was to lead the local soldiers and the Fan soldiers, so as not to let Xixia take advantage of it.I didn't dare to speak in a hurry, but a stone fell to the ground in my heart.

Li Yongqi persuaded him three cups in a row, "Saliyao is the commander of the Jin army in Shaanxi, his status is very important, the general must not be careless."

Zhang Chi said: "I have ordered Zhang Dujian of the rear army to escort him back to Shizhou for interrogation by Xuan Fu. In the absence of Sa Liyao, the various ministries of the Jin Army are not subordinate to each other, which greatly benefits our army."

Li Shifu said on the side: "I see that along the way, the Song army is extremely strict, and it is not comparable to our army. Even if we fight the Jin army, why should we be afraid of him?"

Zhang Chi said: "The terrain in this area is complicated, and the people's sentiments are also intertwined. To tell you the truth, I'm still under a lot of pressure."

Li Yongqi saw that although Zhang Chi was young, he had a calm attitude and was not blindly aggressive, so he knew he was a general.At this time, whether Zhang Chi is aggressive and aggressive, or conservatively insisting on waiting for Wang Xiaolie's order, it is not suitable.Although it is only more than 200 miles away from Shizhou, the mountain road is rugged, and the communication between the two places takes at least three days and six days.The situation on the front line is changing rapidly, and we cannot afford to wait.

To some extent, Zhang Chi is the front-line coach, and he has to make decisions on the fly.Asking for instructions back and forth, there is no time at all.

As soon as the second watch was handed in, Zhang Chi refused to drink.Grab something to eat and go to bed early.

Seeing his son still drinking heavily and eating meat, Li Yongqi said: "This Zhang Yuhou is very sensible. Now is the front line. Don't be greedy for drinking. Go to rest when it gets dark. Replenish your energy and prepare for a big battle. On the other hand, you Just drink heavily, and don't care what to do if you miss something."

Li Shifu said with a smile: "Father is like a sour man, he just babbles there. I drink and drink by myself. When did I miss something?"

Li Yongqi could only shake his head, what else could he say?
Before dawn the next day, Tanma came back like a shooting star.No Jin army was found in the north or west, nor in the south for the time being.

Zhang Chi's rule is to report every twenty miles, and then the rest of the scouts will move on.Check forward for about a hundred miles, and then wait for the follow-up visit to change shifts.Within a hundred miles of Suide City as the center, once there is an enemy situation, the coach must know as soon as possible.

It wasn't until noon that the explorer from Qingjian City came back.

When he got off his horse in front of the official hall, the spy didn't even drink his saliva and went straight into the official hall.

Zhang Chi sat on it, staring at the spies who came in, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the Jin army has already arrived at Qingjian?"

The spy crossed his hands: "Hou Yuhou, my subordinates arrived at Qingjian City last night, and there were not many Jin troops inside. However, those Jin troops seemed to be forwards, and there must be a brigade of Jin troops behind them. I took a tongue and asked to understand. , There are two thousand gold troops coming from behind."

Zhang Chi nodded: "Understood. Go down and rest."

The spies went out, Zhang Chi thought for a while, and said, "Call the three governors and the two supervisors to discuss the matter."

Not long after, Tong Zhi and Du Jian came to the official hall and greeted them one after another.

Zhang Chi stood up, went to the newly added battle table next to him, and said, "Sit down. There is a golden army in Qingjian City. Let's discuss how to fight."

Everyone sat down and looked at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi said: "I just got the news that the Jin army's forward has arrived at Qingjian, and the two thousand troops are estimated to arrive today. Qingjian City is the main road from Suide City to Yan'an Mansion, so there is no room for loss. What do you think? manage?"

Zhang Zhendao: "There are only two thousand gold troops here! What else can you say? Go up and fight and win!"

Dai Yuchang murmured, "Let's wait a little longer and explore the horses again. The Jin army travels thirty miles a day, and there are still three days before they reach Suide City. There is no need to be in such a hurry."

Zhang Chi said: "The Jin army is all cavalry, and they can travel fifty miles a day, not thirty miles. After two days, they fell to Suide City."

Dai Yuchang said, "Then we can't wait anymore. When we get to the city, many things will be difficult to handle."

Seeing Zhang Chi looking at him, Zhong Ci said: "In my opinion, it's best to go up and fight. If you come to two thousand gold troops, we can send a regiment to go. There is always an advantage with 3000 people. It's really an accident. The two regiments can turn around."

Zhang Zhendao: "I am the former army, I should stand up at this time and fight the enemy to the death!"

Zhang Chi looked at Zhang Zhen, and said in a deep voice, "This is not the time to be joking! To fight, the Jin army must be blocked fifty miles away! Once Suide City is surrounded, anything can happen. Since Li Yongqi and his son can vote for Song , then it is possible that some other father and son will invest in gold, and it is not surprising that there are even votes in Xia Guo."

Zhang Zhen crossed his hands and said, "This subordinate understands!"

Zhang Chi said: "If you go to Qingjian, it is best to occupy Qingjian City. In this way, we will be safe in the south, and we can calmly clean up many fortresses in the north. The most difficult thing in Suide City is not to fight the Jin army, but how to integrate the anti-Xia forces .”

After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and thought for a while and said: "Zhang Zhen led his headquarters to attack Qingjian City in the south, and they would attack the Jin army when they encountered them. If they win, they will be stationed in Qingjian to block all enemies advancing north. Besides, you The army’s supply unit will accompany the army to transport the supplies, and I will send someone else to deliver your supplies. This area is all mountainous, and the cavalry is particularly important. In addition to the cavalry in your headquarters, I will send you another command cavalry.”

Zhang Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly crossed his hands to thank him.

Zhang Chi looked at the sky and said, "After half an hour, your whole army will set off. Let's get ready!"

Zhang Zhen and Cao Yu crossed their hands and left.

On the way, Cao Yu said: "The Jin army should have arrived at Qingjian City today, and will rest until tomorrow before starting. Let's go now, rest later, and rush to Zaolingou to set up camp. It's only fifty miles away from Qingjian City, so we can relax and wait for work!" "

Zhang Zhen nodded and said: "Send the scouts out first, at least go to Gu Kuanzhou, and don't allow the golden men to ride around!"

Cao Yu nodded repeatedly.

This is Wang Xiao's habit of hunting the army.Before the war, scouts and cavalry will go out everywhere, first control the battlefield, and cut off the enemy's source of information.The reconnaissance cavalry of Wang Xiaohun's army have received special training, and they have advantages over the general army's cavalry, and they can often have unexpected results.
