Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 157
"Oh? General Lu is so brave?" Shao Shude was woken up by Feng Yin before dawn, and he was also very happy and even a little surprised when he got this news suddenly.

In his inherent impression, Lu Huaizhong is brave, but he doesn't have too many strategies.If the two armies are facing each other and there is a stalemate, he can play a great role in sending him to lead the warriors into the battle.But if it is said to be alone, it feels a little less interesting.

To be honest, Shao Shude was given some surprises by riding the stormy night attack this time.On the surface, it still looks like his brave side, but before ordering the attack, he can think of many favorable factors, which is enough to show that he has carefully weighed it, and it is not a fluke.

Ok, Ok!After so many years of seminars, I did not attend them in vain.In the future, the martial arts lectures will continue, everyone is not stupid, and the military experience is so rich, after a long time, there will always be something to gain.If you are lucky, transformation is not impossible.

"Marshal, do you want to cross the river now?" Feng Yin asked.

"No hurry, let the sergeants finish their meal. Kang Yuancheng is dead, the camp has been broken, there is no problem." Shao Shude said: "Where did Tuoba Sigong and others from the north go? Have you caught them?"

"They are more than ten miles away from Kang Yuancheng's camp. They should have run away last night. There are more than [-] Hexi party soldiers in total. They are too scared to fight again." Feng Yin replied: "The [-] The cavalry also ran away, and General Lu is sending cavalry to chase after these two, I don't know if we can get anything."

"Where are the cavalry of the Iron Forest Army?"

"Also in Hexi, also chasing the defeated soldiers."

"Okay, let's have breakfast first." Shao Shude sat down calmly.With the big win last night, today's breakfast tasted extraordinarily delicious.

At Chenshi, the Tielin Army and Jinglue Army on the east bank of the river began to cross the river one after another.

Although it was a fake river that attracted Kang Yuancheng's attention before, they really built a lot of ferries.It took less than three days for the army to cross the river, and the efficiency was quite high.

Shao Dashuai reached the other side of the river that afternoon.

"General Lu made me look at him with admiration." Shao Shude said with a smile: "The night attack smashed Kang Yuancheng, magnificent! General Zhe also smashed the Hexi party on the west bank of the river, captured and beheaded more than [-] people, and even captured Dingyuan Army, Huaiyuan, Baojing and other places. , Now the soldiers are besieging Lingwu, and they can go down at any time. With Lu and Zhe two generals, there is nothing to worry about in the northwest."

"Marshal, at the end of yesterday, more than [-] people were captured and beheaded. When the cavalrymen who chased the remnants of the enemy come back, they should be able to gain some more. If the general is brave, he is brave. However, how can Hexi Dangxiang compare with the Lingzhou Yajun? ?” Lu Huaizhong said loudly.

"It's a good thing I know your temperament, otherwise General Zhe would definitely argue with you." Shao Shude said with a smile: "Both of you are my favorite generals, they are equal."

Everyone chatted and laughed as they walked, and soon arrived at Kang Yuancheng's Chinese army camp.This person's body has been moved over, Shao Shude looked at it carefully, and said: "Attacking and killing Jieshuai, such a heinous person, it is cheap for him to die in battle. I will cut off the head in a while, and wait for someone to break through After Lingzhou, take him and the Kang family to the capital."

"Of course." Feng Yin replied.

Han Lang and Kang Yuancheng rebelled and attacked and killed Jie Shuai.If the imperial court acquiesced, he would be innocent.But now the court didn't admit it, that would be a crime, and of course he would be taken to the capital.

"Why are there still women?" Shao Shude asked, pointing at the dancer who was huddled in the corner.

This woman was covered with a thin gauze, she was so lovely and pitiful.

"This is the dancing girl in Kang Yuancheng's army." Someone replied.

"Hmm..." Shao Shude pondered for a while, and asked, "Who was the first to climb over the camp yesterday?"

"Marshal, Liu Sanhu, Deputy Commander of the General Battalion Squadron." Guo Qi stepped forward and replied.

"Get him here."

Liu Sanhu will arrive soon.

"Who is Liu Sandou to you?" Shao Shude asked.

"My second younger brother." Liu Sanhu was a little uneasy when he heard the words, worried whether his younger brother had offended the general.

"Very good." Shao Shude said with a smile, "Judge Guo, what is your contribution to the battle first?"

"Report to Commander. Last night when the camp was attacked, the enemy had strongholds, so they should go into battle; if more than [-] people were captured and beheaded, they should be regarded as superior; if they climbed first in battle, they should be ranked first in battle." Guo Yu said, citing scriptures.

Of course, what he was talking about was the level of meritorious service under the marching system.In fact, after the recruitment system became popular, the military reward system of each feudal town mainly consisted of military positions and property.If there are no vacancies at that time, then the goods will be the main products, and they can be filled when there is space.

"The rewards given by the army are not enough to reward this merit." Shao Shude said: "Then reward this beauty to the strong man."

As soon as Shao Shude said this, Liu Sanhu was excited, and the soldiers behind Feng Yin also looked at him with envy.

If there is a vacancy in the army, the first warriors are often the first to be promoted. In addition, they are also rewarded with a lot of money and silk.Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief thought it was not enough, and he wanted to reward Mei Ji, and everyone envied him immediately, wishing he could go to attack Lingzhou right away, and give himself a chance to be rich and romantic.

Kang Yuancheng has foresight, and the dancer who can bring him to the army is naturally not an ordinary one!
Liu Sanhu was so excited that he wanted to kneel down, but Shao Shude stopped him and said: "A certain rule in the army, a warrior doesn't need to kneel when he sees him!"

"Willing to die for the commander in chief!" Liu Sanhu said in a trembling voice with his face flushed.

"Let this woman go back to Xiazhou with the team that escorted the grain and grass. Tell Yang Liang that someone will take care of her on the way. This is the family of Liu Sanhu, the first warrior of the Wuwei Army. Don't be humiliated." Shao Shude said .

"Of course." Feng Yin replied.

"Let's go, go and see the wounded." Shao Shude led the crowd forward.

In the battle last night, the casualties of the Wuwei Army were actually very small, no more than 200 people.Not many enemy troops were actually killed by the Wuwei army, probably only a thousand or so. Most of them were caused by not distinguishing between the enemy and ourselves in the dark, and they attacked and killed each other. In the end, nearly a thousand people were still captured.

"Commander, there is news from Hexi that the Yicong army and Dingyuan army attacked Lingwu. In two days, they killed the head of a thousand bandits, and the rest surrendered." Just after walking out of the wounded barracks, another army report came.

"That's very good." Shao Shude nodded, and said: "Send down the order to repair and expand the camp. After the whole army has crossed the river, they will set out to attack Lingzhou. In addition, the Wei Mengbao Department will stay in Hexi to monitor, and all the cavalry will cross the river. , After the Dingyuan army was ready, they also crossed the river and surrounded the south, north, and east sides of Lingzhou."

"Of course." Feng Yin replied.

On the second day of May, the Tielin Army, the Jinglue Army, and the trainers all crossed the river.The mighty army of more than [-] troops, the Jinglue army went first, followed by the Wuwei army and the Tielin army, and headed towards Lingzhou City.

On the third day of junior high school, the army arrived at the city and began to set up camp.On that day, the Yi Cong Army, the Cavalry Army, and the Dingyuan Army all arrived.For a time, [-] to [-] troops were stationed outside the city, and the momentum was overwhelming.

But at this time, in Lingzhou City, there was no accident, it was gloomy and gloomy.

Han Lang sat in Jiedushi's mansion with a dazed and pale face.Kang Yuancheng was defeated by the Kushui River, and none of the [-] yamen troops handed over to him came back, especially the [-] cavalry soldiers, who were the elite of Lingzhou. Could it be that they all died?Or directly surrender Shao thief?
"God is going to kill me!" Han Lang sighed.

What kind of crime is it to kill Jiedu envoys these days?There are too many generals doing this in the world!Then why did Shao Shude attack me?Why didn't the court acquiesce?
Han Lang thought about these two questions for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what to do.

Perhaps, this is fate!

From the day the news of Kang Yuancheng's defeat came back, there was an undercurrent in Lingzhou City.If it wasn't for the fact that the Han family has been running here for several generations, and the tree has deep roots, he would have been tied up long ago and sent to the Shao bandit camp outside the city.

But even so, the atmosphere in the army is still tense, everyone is suspicious, and everyone seems to want to surrender.

What kind of battle is this?

There are [-] yamen troops and [-] state soldiers in Jiancheng, Lingzhou. If some people are recruited and guarded well, the Shao bandits may not be able to defeat them in a hurry.But here lies the problem. People's hearts are not aligned, everyone is suspicious, and most of the city still has traitors who superficially obey themselves, but secretly love Li Yuanli. How can this be defended?
"Grandfather, Master Biancai has been invited." While sighing, the eldest son Han Zun entered and reported.

"Oh, please come in." Han Lang said after hearing the words.

The monk Biancai came in under the leadership of Han's soldiers, and said: "I don't know what to do after staying here."

Biancai is not young anymore, about sixty years old, he is an eminent monk of Longxing Temple, and he is known for his eloquence and eloquence.

"Mage..." Han Lang hesitated for a while, then said, "A certain person wants to send a mage out of the city to the king's camp of Lingwu County."

The debater was silent when he heard the words, and finally said after a long time: "The soldiers are approaching the city, but this lobbyist is not easy to be."

"A certain one only wants to protect the family, and has nothing else to do." Han Lang said.

Biancai sighed, and replied: "The ancestors of the Han family have taken good care of our temple for many generations, so it's so good if you just take a trip. But, General Han, don't have too much expectations. The king of Lingwu County is appointed by the court. He went to the east to recruit envoys, and I heard that he has always served the court respectfully, but he is not a cruel person..."

Monk Biancai only spoke half of what he said, but the meaning was quite obvious. Shao Shude wanted to send Han Lang's family to the capital for punishment, and it was impossible to get out of the way.But if a deal is reached, the Han clan that excludes Han Lang's family may not necessarily be in trouble, and it may be preserved.

Han Lang turned pale when he heard this, and Han Zun was also a little panicked.

After a long time, Han Lang said with a sad smile: "Master, if you go, if the king of Lingwu County refuses, you will not be the one to be captured without a fight. There are still thousands of sons in Lingzhou, all of whom have the will to die. It is not so easy to attack."

The monk Biancai glanced at him, and sighed again.It is heard that there are many descendants of the Han family in the Ya army, and in the end, this one who stays will be betrayed by the tribe.

Sad, pitiful, deplorable!The Dharma is not prosperous, and the world has not been saved!
On the same day, a hanging basket was put down on Lingzhou City.Biancai led Zengren, a monk from Longxing Temple, towards the camp of the Dingnan Army.Their figures were thin and bleak, just like Lingzhou at this time.
