Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 26
Hao Zhenwei is not a festival commander, so the lobby cannot be called a festival hall.However, it is still arranged in a solemn atmosphere, with extraordinary might.Shao Shude has an uncontrollable desire to complain in his heart. Is the precious cargo transport tonnage used for you to transport these things that are useless except to show off their prestige?

"Good teacher Qiu Shijun knows that last night, Su Hongzhen was sent to the north camp on behalf of the northern camp to give orders to our army to guard the city and not lose any gains. If the rebels leave this place and go south, they will attack decisively and attack their back roads. Don't hesitate." After the two sat down, Hao Zhenwei ordered his soldiers to make tea and said.

Shao Shude stood behind Qiu Weidao, watching his nose and heart, and remained silent, but his ears listened carefully to every word of the two.Not everyone has the opportunity to hear this kind of secret, just listen carefully, it is always useful.

"Su Hongzhen?" Qiu Weidao hesitated, as if thinking about who this person was.

"Former Zhelu army envoy. After the army was defeated, he ran back to Jinyang with more than [-] personal soldiers. He is currently recruiting the envoy's subordinates to commit crimes." Hao Zhenwei introduced in detail: "He has nowhere to go now. The general gathered the defeated soldiers of the Zhelu army and repaired the Zhelu flat, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to come to give orders, and also brought more than a thousand soldiers newly recruited from Hedong, and hid in the mountains to the east."

"So it is." Qiu Weidao nodded and said: "These scum, the army broke and fled, and they should have been killed. If you are lucky enough to survive, you are already entrusted with the blessing of God. In the future, we will watch their actions on the battlefield. This envoy should be an envoy to observe and recruit envoys, please kill this generation."

It stands to reason that Qiu Weidao's function of supervising the army is limited to the Tiande army, and he can't control the friendly army.However, in such a situation of large-scale battles where various ministries are coordinated, no army can stand alone, and no army leader does not need to cooperate with others.It’s good to say that the battle goes well, but if it doesn’t go well, or even fails miserably, at this time, they will have to give each other up.

As the eyes and ears of the imperial court, the weight of the supervisor's report must be the heaviest.Hao Zhenwei said so much, Qiu Weidao heard the song and knew the elegant meaning, and quickly understood the idea of ​​his partner.This Su Hongzhen, who was so deadly bumped into it, will not be a perfect scapegoat in the future?

"It's really a blessing to have Qiu Jun to be Hao's supervisor!" Hao Zhenwei laughed when he heard this: "How about Li Jinzhong's generation of chaotic ministers and thieves who can take the prisoner army? Even if Li Ni and his son arrive together, they will take it. There is nothing to do in this city. Besides, Li Guochang is in Daizhou, and only Li Ke came here with a weak crown and a child, so don’t you treat my Tiande army as a human?”

Shao Shude was speechless when he heard it.Li Keyong has actually proved himself. In his early years, he became the deputy envoy of Shatuo in Yunzhou in the Datong Army, not only relying on the background of his Zhuxie family, but also his own extraordinary bravery. Combining the two, It's normal to be high at a young age.

Later, he was very decisive in killing Duan uprising under the pressure of old hooligans such as Li Jinzhong, the generals Cheng Huaixin, and Xue Zhiqin in Shatuo, Yunzhou.Following that, he led the army to fight everywhere, and defeated Cao Xiang, the envoy of the Northbound Camp, in the Honggu area of ​​Lanzhou, which proved his ability to command the army.

Has Wu Yong, and will lead troops to fight. Is this Shatuo, who is only one or two years older than Shao Shude, really so easy to deal with?Judging people by their appearance and age is a price to pay!

After the general's office discussed the strategy for the next period of time, Shao Shude escorted Qiu Weidao back to his own camp - just on both sides of the Temporary Military Academy.Ren Yuji was appointed to take over the defense of the Supervisory Academy with 30 people from his team, so he went to the kitchen for dinner.Dinner is corn, rice and pickles, neither good nor bad, and it is not easy in this time of chaos.

The soldiers admired their lieutenant's performance on the city today.The old subordinates from Xicheng will not talk about it, they are die-hard fans, and the attitude of the sudden generals in the Guan Kairun team who have always been poorly managed has suddenly become respectful.

This is the way the military is, hearing is false and seeing is true.Although they didn't see the lieutenant's sharp shot with their own eyes, but the whole army said so, then the matter is true, there is absolutely nothing wrong, following such a brave boss, everyone's faces are not only bright, but their lives are also guaranteed.

Lu Huaizhong greeted Shao Shude with a smile and sat down.There was an empty seat between him and Li Yanling, and no one dared to sit, obviously it was reserved for the lieutenant.Shao Shude sat down straight, and after thinking about it, he said: "Everyone, Li Jinzhong, the pioneer of the rebel army, has arrived at the city with [-] paces, and war will break out at any time. Although we are guarding the army, our primary task is to protect Qiu Shijun. And the safety of everyone in the Military Academy, but there is also a great possibility of going to the battlefield. For the sake of your own safety, you cannot let go of this martial arts training. Bows, swords, armors, military equipment, and equipment must be carefully maintained and fully stocked. In short, do Good preparation for the fight. That's all, let's continue eating."

After finishing speaking, Shao Shude whispered to Li Yanling who was sitting on his left side: "Old Li, Dutou and the supervisor have rewarded me with a lot of things. You can see if you can exchange some things, preferably meat, for the soldiers. Snack."

"It's very troublesome to go out of the city now. I'm afraid it's a little difficult to exchange silk and copper coins for meat." Li Yanling happily cooked rice with pickles, as if it was a delicacy in the world.

"There are thousands of people in the city, and there are always people who like goods. The capital will sometimes slaughter livestock and distribute some meat, and then you can buy it. You don't insist on buying it. It doesn't matter if the price is higher, how much you can get. How much. Soldiers practice arrays, temper martial arts, and consume a lot of money. They can't do without meat supplements. For things that are not used in the camp, you can use other things, and you can exchange them for things. In short, is there any exchange? . Doing business, Lao Li, you are good at it."

"I can save it, lieutenant can rest assured." Old Li was speechless, he was obviously a warrior, how could he become a businessman.However, he also knew that this was for the sake of the group. The lieutenants had already given up those treasures, and he still had to give up his old face to make a deal?

After eating, Shao Shude checked the defense of the left team.The temporary prison yard in the city of the Zelu Army is not big, and 30 people are more than enough to defend it. If it is the turn of the full front, middle, and rear teams to be on duty, it will be full of people, and there will be soldiers with knives and bows everywhere. , so that even a fly cannot fly in.

After a round of inspection, he returned to his room, lit the oil lamp, began to record his experience, and reviewed his previous notes.

There were a lot of debris piled up in the room. Shao Desheng and several soldiers slept in it, snoring loudly.Shao Shude writes and draws without interference at all. In fact, he is completely immersed in his previous notes.By reviewing, he can also gain new insights, which he has discovered long ago.

Inside the package was a book given to him by Song Le, titled "Tai Zong and Li Wei Gong Asking Right", which recorded a lot of military knowledge and battle examples.The book is a bit worn and the paper quality is not good, but the handwriting is clear and Shao Shude likes it very much.

Song Le told him that the book had not been published for many years. It should be a military book written by an anonymous person under the name of Tang Taizong and Li Jing to increase its popularity and credibility.But the content is really good. Shao Shude read it roughly, and he felt that he had gained a lot. He will be ready to read it carefully. When he has time, he will discuss it with a few "stoozer" subordinates, and he should be able to go further.

On the second day, Shao Shude inspected the defense work of the Military Academy as usual, and before he had time to eat breakfast, news came that Hao Du would personally lead his team out of the city.

The shocked Shao Shude hurriedly asked someone to investigate carefully, only to find out that Li Jinzhong led his troops to attack the camp outside the city. Hao Zhenwei ordered [-] soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers to form an array out of the city to threaten Li Jinzhong's flank. , forcing it to give up the idea of ​​pulling out the stockade outside the city.

Li Jinzhong was unable to attack the city, and he was unable to pull out the stockade that was behind his back. This striker was indeed a failure.So that night he organized another group to attack the stockade at night.However, the stockade stands at a high place, has water sources, has terrain, and is not large in area, so the troops cannot be deployed, and it is really not that easy to fight.Under the dark lights, Li Jinzhong's department fell to his death and injured many people.

Next, Li Jinzhong sent another person to challenge him, but the Tiande army ignored him and huddled in the city without moving.No matter how you insult and provoke me, I will not move like a mountain, what can you do to me?

Li Jinzhong was so angry that he lost a lot of people at night under the night attack on the stockade outside the city and the main force in the city.His camp was very shallow, and he didn't put much thought into it at all. He was caught off guard by the onslaught from both sides, and hundreds of people were killed and injured.

After the night attack was successful, the Tiande army could not hold back again.Li Jinzhong had no choice but to find a place far away from the Zhelu army city to set up a stockade. After sending cavalry to scout the road ahead, he waited with peace of mind for the arrival of Li Keyong's main army.

During this period, the gang of people in the Military Academy did not get the chance to fight, and Shao Shude sought out people every day to inquire about the response of both sides inside and outside the city.I will substitute myself into Hao Zhenwei, and I will substitute myself into Li Jinzhong, and review all the battles of wits and courage on both sides.

If you want to be a good general, you have to seize every opportunity to learn.Sleeping when you are full like an ordinary soldier is comfortable, but how can you improve?People, you still have to step out of your comfort zone, accept challenges, and study hard. Only then can you improve yourself, and you will succeed in one fell swoop until the day when the opportunity comes.

This relatively leisurely day lasted until the ninth day of December.On this day, news came from outside the city that the main force of the rebel army had arrived!
Shao Shude immediately protected the guards to the top of the city, but he saw that in the snow in the distance, the brigade of cavalry in black armor was marching quickly along the avenue.The queue was very long, with many cars, stretching to the horizon in the distance, and it seemed that there were more than [-] people.There is no doubt that this is Li Ke's main team.

The real test of the Tiande Army has just begun!
