Chapter 481
Liu Cui and Liu Qiong went south all the way. Two days later, the army was still forty miles away from the Yellow River, and it was getting late. Liu Cui ordered the army to cook and rest on the spot by the river.
The soldiers were busy building earthen stoves with stones, lit the marching briquettes, and began to boil water to cook soup. This is the marching regulation promulgated by Chen Qing last year. Soldiers should try not to drink unboiled water when marching.
There was no honeycomb cake in the past, and even if there was such a rule, it was not realistic. Since the invention of honeycomb, it has made it possible to boil water in the wild.
In fact, the soldiers also knew that the river water looked clear, but a large number of animals would die by the river. After the corpses rotted, the river would definitely be polluted. Drinking unboiled water would cause diarrhea. Everyone knew this.
In the past, branches and wood were used, and it took a long time to boil a large pot of water. Soldiers could not wait, so they had to drink raw water and chew dry cakes. Now there are instant-burning honeycomb briquettes, which generate a lot of heat and can be boiled quickly. A large pot of broth can soak up dry biscuits and eat them. Who wants to chew dry biscuit meat that is harder than a stone.
Moreover, with briquettes, while waiting for the water to boil, soldiers can also make homemade soft cakes, mix the flour into a batter, spread them on a hot iron plate, spread oil, sprinkle spices and meat sauce, Zhang Ruanbing will be ready soon.
The army consists of five people, equipped with an iron pot with a cover and an iron plate, and fifty quick-burning honeycomb cakes, which are carried by mules and horses when marching.
Liu Cui, Liu Qiong and three commanders were sitting together. They also boiled a pot of soup, broke off a piece of tea cake and put it into the pot to cook. Liu Qiong was making batter to make soft cakes. After all, they were senior generals. A little bit better than ordinary soldiers, can make tea.
"What is the third brother worried about?" Liu Qiong saw that Liu Cui had something on his mind, and frowning all the way.
Liu Cui sighed and said, "I'm worried that we will miss out if we go south!"
"Why did General Liu say that?" Several commanders next to him asked in puzzlement.
"A few days ago, Ren Dejing issued a summoning order, asking the troops from all over the country to rush back to King Qin of Huangzhou. He used the Eagle Letter, and the troops from all over the country should have received it. Ren Hua from Xining Prefecture was the first to lead the army to arrive. Calculated from the time, the enemy troops in Hezhou and Kuozhou should have arrived in Huangzhou, so I was worried that they would be missed."
Liu Qiong thought for a while and smiled: "Actually, I don't think it's a big problem. There is only this official road in the south of Huangzhou. No matter whether you come from Kuozhou or Hezhou, you will eventually converge on this official road. And even if you cross For the Yellow River, if you come from Kuozhou, you have to go to the Baihetan Ferry in front of you, there is no way to cross the river in other places, as long as we wait at Baihetan, they will naturally come to your door!"
Liu Cui nodded. What Liu Qiong said made sense. It seemed that he had taken charge of several peripheral operations and had indeed made a lot of progress. No wonder everyone wanted him to follow him.
Now Liu Cui was not in a hurry. After dinner, the army rested in place and patiently waited for news from the scouts.
In the middle of the night, several Song Army scouts rushed from the south, and soon came to the Song Army's camp, and the leading scout was brought to Liu Cui.
The scout knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute, cupped his fists and reported, "General, we found the enemy at the Baihetan Ferry ahead!"
Liu Cui lifted his spirits and quickly asked, "How many troops are there, are they on the south bank or the north bank?"
"There are about five or six thousand people. When I found out, the army was on the south bank and was building a pontoon bridge. Half of it has been built, and it is estimated that it has been built now!"
Five or six thousand people, that is, the two armies converged, and Liu Cui quickly sent someone to bring Liu Qiong to discuss.
After hearing the report, Liu Qiong immediately said: "The enemy army obviously doesn't know our existence, so I suggest an ambush halfway."
Liu Cui immediately spread out a map, looked at it for a while, and said, "There are more than a dozen canyons in front of us. We can attack back and forth, block the enemy army in the canyon, and force the enemy to surrender."
The two discussed it properly, and immediately divided the troops into two groups. Liu Qiong led the army to go to the south of the canyon first, while Liu Cui led the army to wait in the north of the canyon.
In the morning of the next day, a [-]-man Huangzhou army was marching north along the official road.
After Ren Dejing's summoning order was issued, his second son Ren Jian and third son Ren Hong immediately responded to his father's call and led their troops to Huangzhou. The people decided to gather at the Baihetan Ferry and head to Huangzhou together.
The two brothers also knew the reason why their lips were dead and their teeth were cold. Once Huangzhou City was captured by the Song army and their father had an accident, they might not survive.
The two brothers are very young, Ren Jian is only [-] years old, Ren Hong is only [-] years old, he has only been in charge of the army for a year, and his prestige and qualifications in the army are very low. He was too suspicious, and he didn't trust people with other surnames, so he knew that his three sons' qualifications and prestige were not enough, but he still let the three brothers take control of the military.
The eldest son, Ren Hua, is dead, and now it is the turn of the second and third sons, can they escape?
In front is a stretching hill, about a hundred miles long, the mountain is tall and majestic, there is a canyon in the mountain, originally a river, after the river diverted, the dry river formed a natural passage through the mountain, and the official road was built in the valley.
This valley is called Laojun Valley, named after a mountain that looks like Laojun riding a bull. The valley is not very narrow, about two miles wide and more than ten miles long, with steep mountains on both sides.
The army stopped in front of the valley, and several spies rushed into the valley, and came back after a while to report, "General, there is no abnormality found in the valley!"
Ren Jian waved his hand, "Enter the valley!"
The [-] troops marched into the valley, General Yan Xiang whispered to another general, Wu Zhengyang: "Do you think the general manager still exists?"
Wu Zhengyang shook his head, "I heard that Chen Qing is personally leading the army, so it might be hard to deal with!"
Yan Xiang sneered and said: "It's not only hard to deal with, didn't you hear what those businessmen in Baihetan said? A fire burned the city of Agan to ashes, and [-] Xixia troops were wiped out. The Jurchens called others demons, right? Screaming for nothing!"
"That's right! Chen Qing is cruel and ruthless. If the chief executive is ignorant, it will be a disaster!"
The team walked very fast, and they didn't want to stay in the valley for a long time. The mountains on both sides looked rather depressing.
About a mile away from Taniguchi, the soldiers in front stopped suddenly, and some soldiers shouted in horror. The Ren brothers didn't know what happened, so they hurriedly rushed forward, and they couldn't help but gasped.
From a distance, they saw a long solitary wooden pole standing in the middle of the road, with a human head hanging on it, and a piece of white cloth was hung on the long wooden pole, with several large characters written on it, what was written on it?
The terrified voice in front became louder and louder, and the news was quickly transmitted to the rear, and the Ren brothers also heard, "That's the head of the chief executive!" '
The faces of the two brothers changed drastically, and they hurriedly rushed forward. They could see the words on the white cloth clearly, 'Ren Dejing's head is here! '
The two of them rushed forward and saw the head clearly, and immediately let out a wail, knelt on the ground and cried loudly, they saw clearly that it was indeed their father's head.
Several soldiers quickly set up a ladder and took down Ren Dejing's head.
At this time, General Wu Zhengyang urged him to come forward and said, "You two young masters, this is not the time to cry, there must be a Song army lying in ambush ahead!"
Yan Xiang's face changed drastically. If there were Song troops blocking the entrance of the valley in front, there must be Song troops at the entrance behind. They were blocked both front and back. They didn't carry luggage, and their dry food could only last for one to two days at most.
Ren Jian and Ren Hong were filled with grief and indignation. They drew out their swords and shouted: "Kill my father, this feud is irreconcilable. Brothers, let's fight Song Jun!"
The soldiers uttered a loud cry, and followed the Ren brothers towards the valley entrance. When they were approaching the valley entrance, the soldiers stopped one after another, only to see that the hundred-foot-wide valley entrance was blocked by hundreds of giant trees, leaving a gap in the middle. ,
At this time, a gunpowder arrow flew from afar and hit the giant tree. The giant tree burned with a bang and spread rapidly. After a short time, the entire giant tree at the mouth of the valley began to burn.
The soldiers who were furious just now all backed away in fear, their morale faded instantly, and many people understood that the Song Army would never fight them.
At this time, a spies rushed to report, "Report to the two sons, the entrance to the valley behind is also blocked by the enemy's giant tree!"
Fear finally appeared on the faces of the Ren brothers. They understood that now not only their father died, but their lives might also be in danger.
