Chapter 798 Weasel

Chapter 798 Weasel

Wu Wangdu is not named after a certain "Wu Wang", but because Wu and Wang lived here and built Wu Wangzhai.

The location of Wuwangzhai is the place where the Chu army built their camp when Chu and Han fought for hegemony, and Han Xin once attacked this camp.

Now this stockade has become the camp of the Mongolian army.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Li Heng and Zhang Hongfan went up to the watchtower in the southwest corner of the camp.

Looking to the west, it is nothing more than the glaciers that are snowy day after day, and the north and south lines are the continuous camps of the Mongolian army.

"A few more soldiers and horses went to attack Xia Yangdu in the morning, and they were beaten back."

Zhang Hongfan chatted about today's battle, and said in a casual tone, "It's ridiculous that it is Liu Zheng's camp that guards Xiayangdu."

Li Heng smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's really ridiculous. If Liu Zheng didn't move at that time, our troops are now stronger than the Song army."

Today he is wearing a big ferret fur.

Weasels are weasels.

There are fine and dense guard hairs on the weasel skin, the undercoat is plump, the color is bright and moist, and the tail hair is drained and wear-resistant. It is the best fur for making furs.

Most of the soldiers who wear fur in the army are Mongolians, and they all look dirty and smelly, with lice jumping around, which can be seen with the naked eye.

Li Heng is the adopted son of a Mongolian nobleman, but he is different from these Mongolians. He wears a big ferret fur to give off the temperament of a luxurious son.

After all, he is a descendant of the Xixia royal family.

This is also the reason why Li Heng and Zhang Hongfan can become best friends. Among the many princes in the army, they are the most outstanding and the most magnificent.

"Li Xia, the new recruit from the Conquering Enemy Battalion, I didn't expect to be able to play such a combat power. Hao Zhongwei has already attacked Xia Yangdu three times in a row and couldn't survive."

"Hao Zhongwei?"

"Deqing doesn't recognize him? He is the second son of Monk Hao Batu. His elder brother Hao Tianyi led the army across the river, so Hao Zhongwei is most responsible for containing the Song army."

Li Heng asked in surprise, "Hao Tianyi crossed the river?"

"You haven't heard anything." Zhang Hongfan said helplessly, "I don't know the details, but I haven't seen Hao Tianyi for two days. He is very utilitarian, so he must have crossed the river."

"Unexpectedly, Hao Tianyi is as brave as his father."

"Ha, Batu."

Mentioning Monk Hao Batu, Li Heng also felt a little emotional... Although Monk Hao Batu has a strange name, he is actually a Han Chinese. He was plundered by the Mongolian army since he was a child and was adopted by the Mongolians.

This experience is the same as his.

Li Heng stared at the river, raised his hand, and said, "Shi Shuai's army is overwhelming, so he must be able to break through the Song army's defenses in a few days, right?"

"No rush. The offensive in the past few days is to test the strength of the Song army, and the second is to seize the stronghold on the other side. In fact, the army just came from Shandong. Yan'an Mansion, Xingqing Mansion and other roads are in place, so as not to give Li Xia any chance to defeat each other."

"secure."

"The Yellow River can at least be frozen until the end of February. In time, Shi Shuai is unwilling to give Li Xia a chance to turn defeat into victory."

At this point, Zhang Hongfan whispered in Li Heng's ear: "Shi Shuai has actually lost to Li Xia many times, so he has to be careful."

"This is the first time we have fought against Li Xia, so we should be cautious."

"It's natural."

Although Zhang Hongfan had a smile on his lips, as if he was watching Shi Tianze's joke, but his eyes were very serious, and he said: "Among the younger generation of famous generals, Li Xia is indeed second to none in terms of record and reputation."

His eyes have already revealed his determination to defeat Li Xia and become the "No. [-]".

Li Heng's eyes were different, more complicated.

"Shi Shuai moved camp today?"

"That's right, Li Xia is in Hancheng. If he can be killed, Sichuan and Shanxi will be determined in a single battle. Shi Shuai moved his camp this time to sneak attack on Hancheng..."

Zhang Hongfan stopped talking at this point, and said, "I shouldn't have said this, but he told me to keep it secret."

Li Hengdao: "There is something to keep secret, he also told me."

"Ha, is it?" Zhang Hongfan thought of something, and pondered: "After we pacified Shandong, we immediately marched west, but Li Xia was still fully prepared... I suspect that someone in the army tipped him off. If you talk about these confidential matters, you should pay more attention."

"That's why I chose to speak in this watchtower, didn't I?"

Li Heng shrugged his shoulders with a look of indifference.

Zhang Hongfan glanced around, saw that no one was coming from the watchtower, sighed, and said: "I am different from you, if any secret military information is leaked, King Zong and Shuai Shi will suspect me."

"I can trust Kuro."

"Thanks."

Zhang Hongfan patted Li Heng on the shoulder, quite touched.

Li Heng is the adopted son of Zong Wang Yixiang brother Wangfei, with a detached status, unlike him, the Zhang family is always suspected because of some ambiguity with Li Xia.

The two stood here and watched for a while, Li Heng suddenly said in a deep voice: "Shi Shuai moved to Longmendu and didn't let me accompany you, why did he tell you and me, and let..."

"Longmen Ferry?" Zhang Hongfan said, "Is it Fenyang Ferry?"

Li Heng's expression changed, he turned his head, and after a long silence, he said, "Yes, it's Fenyang Ferry, I was wrong."

"Brother Deqing wanted to say something just now?"

"I said I wanted to attack Han City with Shi Shuai, and I'll meet Li Xia for a while."

"Me too."

Zhang Hongfan looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, looking forward to his achievements.

In such windy and snowy weather, he stood on the tall watchtower against the wind but was still only wearing light armor, not afraid of the cold at all, and the big red cloak was blown up, showing a lot of pride.

Because of his pride, he didn't notice the change in Li Heng's eyes since he heard the word "Fenyangdu"...

~~
Li Heng's camp was to the east of the entire Mongolian army camp.

In this tackling, he obviously won't have too many chances to make meritorious deeds.

There are not many soldiers under his command, and there are only more than [-] soldiers in total.

In addition to the old department in Zichuan, it was Li Fen's troops he reorganized, who were more responsible for security and logistics.

The camp was very busy that day, Li Heng returned to the camp, looked around for a while, raised his hand and recruited a soldier.

"Go and boil some hot water and put it in my tent."

"The villain knows that the general will take a bath when he comes back, and he has boiled hot water, so he will fetch it."

The soldier was very attentive, and immediately called for someone to bring water to Li Heng.

After a while, he came out of the big tent, but he put a letter talisman in his arms, and led the three of them out of the tent.

"Wu Lao Liu, where is this going?"

"The general wants to eat fresh fish, let's hunt one."

"It's freezing cold, where can I go fishing?"

Wu Laoliu laughed, pointed to the west, and said, "The herring in the Yellow River is notoriously large."

"Isn't the Yellow River frozen?"

"I can dig ice and cast nets even if it's frozen." Wu Laoliu shook the shovel in his hand and said with a smile, "I'm from Wuwangzhai, and I'm used to fishing on the Yellow River."

"Hey, that's strange, the river is frozen and there are still fish." The soldiers guarding the small battalion muttered, and let Wu Laoliu and others leave Li Heng's camp.

The group of people walked to the west of the Mongolian camp in this way, still talking like this, they left the camp and walked towards the Yellow River, walking into a vast expanse of wind and snow.

It was difficult to distinguish the road in the wind and snow, but Wu Laoliu was very familiar with this area, and went north to bypass the route of the Mongolian army attacking Xiayangdu.

They traveled extremely fast, all the way slanting north, and within half an hour they found a middle continent in the middle of the Yellow River.

Wu Laoliu picked up his shovel and started digging, and soon buried something on Zhongzhou, and placed a few stones before turning around and heading back.

"Let's go."

Soon, this small river island became quiet.

In the evening, a figure slipped from the north in the wind and snow, as fast as a shooting star.

This person is kneeling on a wooden board, but there is an ice skate under the wooden block. Some villagers nearby know what it is, and they call it "one-legged ice skate" or "one-legged donkey".

At this time, the man who came riding on a one-legged donkey only scanned around, and soon dug out the package left by Wu Laoliu, and quickly slid towards the north again, at an increasingly faster speed, and finally disappeared in the boundless wind. in the snow.

~~
Xia Yangdu.

Although the injured Zhang Gui did not go to the battlefield again, he still insisted on guarding near the cannon cart and hit the Mongolian army with cannon stones.

At dusk, watching the "Hao" flag receding eastward in the distance, he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sat down on the ground.

"Finally back." Zhang Shun also fell to the ground, and said to himself, "Commander He is much better at directing than me."

Zhang Gui was too tired to answer, but thinking of He Tai's life-saving grace, he still responded: "Commander He fought for more than 20 years, and became famous when he followed Sai Cunxiao to win Xinyang. Our brothers learned from him. .”

In the distance, I saw a group of cavalry entering the Heyang camp from the north. After a while, He Tai sent someone to invite the Zhang brothers to discuss matters.

The guards outside the big tent were heavily guarded, as soon as the Zhang family brothers entered the tent, they saw He Taizheng and Lin Zi standing beside the map and pointing, so they clasped their hands together.

"Lin control."

Lin Zi turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui brothers who came, he nodded in satisfaction, and started talking without delay.

"Tomorrow night, the Heyang camp must send troops to attack Wu Wangdu, in response to the county king sending troops to attack Shi Tianze's camp in Hancheng. This is the route of the feint attack..."

Zhang Shun looked along Lin Zi's fingertips, and couldn't help being surprised when he heard him introduce the terrain, and said: "Lin Tongzhi is really amazing, there is such a detailed map of the Mongolian army's camp."

Lin Zi smiled, and patted Zhang Shun's shoulder casually. Because Zhang Shun was short in stature, this action was inexplicably natural.

"This matter involves our secret line in the Mongolian army, so we are looking for you, the most trustworthy generals."

"..."

After discussing for a long time, Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui left first to prepare for military affairs, leaving Lin Zi and He Tai to continue talking.

"Commander He, how many soldiers do you have that you recruited in Shanxi? You should be trustworthy and familiar with the terrain..."

~~
When Zhang Gui left the big tent, he was so excited that he forgot about the injuries on his body.

After a few days of difficult defense, the counterattack planned today finally gave him confidence in the battle.

But when he returned to the barracks, he suddenly thought of something again, turned his head to look outside, and scratched his head.

"Why don't you stop? You have to fight later."

"Brother, didn't I tell you that Commander He is a surrendered general two days ago?"

"I told you not to mutter these things."

"No, I mean, Director Lin seems to trust Commander He more than trusting us. Why do I feel that Commander He knows some confidential military information, but we don't?"

Zhang Shun nodded and said, "Of course."

"What?"

Zhang Shun was silent for a moment, then said: "I'll just tell you again, these words are rotten in your stomach, don't spread them again."

"it is good."

"The king of the county is a man of great ability. They all say that the Song court can't suppress him. Although our brothers are determined to follow him, we are Song people after all, and we are no more reassuring than Commander He. Besides, people How many years have we fought, and how long have we been in the army? Lin Zhizhi pays more attention to He Zhizhi, and it should be."

At this point, Zhang Shun patted Zhang Gui on the shoulder, and said: "Don't think that these are all gone. You don't understand what each of our brothers in the enemy camp thinks? Menglu is a foreign race, and the imperial court And don’t treat these brothers as people of the country, of course they just follow the county king to make peace with the world.”

"Brother, I understand." Zhang Gui answered honestly.

He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed for doubting He Tai two days ago, but then he remembered something again.

"By the way, are the six sons really dead or can Commander He not tell us? Isn't the six sons the 'recruited in Shanxi' that Lin Tongzhi said just now..."
