The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 102

Hongde seven years, April fourteen.

The great Zhou army marched to the north of Changchun, on the banks of the Songhua River.

In the army camp, the stretching tents seemed to be stretched across the sky, and the edge could not be seen at a glance.

In the large tent of the Chinese army in the center of the camp, Qiu Lu, Duke of Qi State, summoned all the generals to raise the tent to discuss matters.

After a while, amidst the rustling of armor, four Marquis Wu, Wangming, Marquis of Wucheng, Huoyu, Marquis of Tong'an, Wangzhong, Marquis of Jing'an, Li Yuan, Marquis of Anping, and many leading generals came in one after another.

Everyone is here.

Qiu Lu said: "Soldiers and soldiers, Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu are traitors. Your Majesty ordered us to attack the captives in the north. Now the army is only two days away from the three guards of Duoyan. The battle is imminent. I hope all the soldiers will train hard. Fight with your life! This general will definitely reward you!"

Everyone bowed and cupped their fists and said, "Follow the command of the commander-in-chief!"

…………

The next day, when the camp was pulled out, Qiu Lu and all the Marquis Wu led the cavalry first.

Seemingly intentional or unintentional, Qiu Lu left Jia Jing's Zhenwei, Guoyong, and Ganyong battalions at the end of the army.

Li Yuan, Marquis of Anping, couldn't help but wondered: "General, I saw that the soldiers of the Zhenwei, Guoyong, and Ganyong battalions are all elite soldiers. Why did you leave them behind to escort food and grass?"

Wucheng Hou Wangming quickly gave Li Yuan a wink, asking him not to say any more.

At the same time, he smiled and said: "The army is one body, the front and the rear are extremely important! How can we talk about the word 'stay'? Besides, the generals always pay attention to food and supplies when marching and fighting. Is it safe to guard the rear?"

Qiu Lu stroked his beard and smiled when he heard this, "The Marquis of Wucheng knows my heart very well!"

……

Because the relationship with Anpinghou has always been good,

Afterwards, Marquis Wangming of Wucheng found a free time, called Li Yuan, Marquis of Anping, and asked, "The army has been gone for more than a month, how can you still say such inappropriate words today?"

Li Yuan was taken aback, "Is there something I don't know about it? Marquis Wucheng hopes to tell my little brother!"

Looking left and right, Wang Ming pointed out: "Those three battalions were originally Zhao Wuhou's soldiers and horses, and were ordered by the Supreme Emperor to temporarily hand them over to Qi Guogong's tent for use.

But it is said that a message later came out, saying that Zhao Wuhou's third battalion was far stronger than the soldiers under Qi Guogong's command, and Qi Guogong was demoted to be worthless.

This Duke Qi is not a generous man, so he couldn't help but hold Zhao Wuhou and the three battalions in a grudge! "

Li Yuan, Marquis of Anping, couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words.

"Marching and fighting, is it a child's play? How can you just do it from your heart?!"

Wang Ming was taken aback by it, and hurriedly said: "The Marquis of Anping shut down! Don't say anything!"

Immediately, Li Yuan finally came to his senses, knowing that he was bluffing too much, so he hurriedly apologized to Wang Ming.

…………

But it is said that the army of conquering captives was on the way, and the spies in front suddenly came to report.

"Report! Report to the general that Tatar traces have been found by the river twenty miles ahead!"

All the generals were refreshed in an instant. They thought they would not see the enemy until the siege, but they did not expect to meet them so soon.

Qiu Lu hurriedly asked, "How many people are there in the enemy army?"

"Back to General, I'll watch from a distance, the enemy army should be about [-]!!"

A mere 4000 people?

Qiu Lu looked around at the generals, and everyone's eyes lit up when they looked at each other.

At this time, the army was approaching, and the 4000 troops were no longer enemies. They were a vermilion seductive military achievement in the military achievement book!

"General, the last general invites you to fight!"

Tonganhou Huoyu was one step ahead and asked for his order first.

Looking at Huo Yu's complacent round face, everyone glared angrily!

Qiu Lu laughed "haha" and said, "Since Marquis Tong An is so eager, I will leave the first battle to you!"

"The last general takes orders!"

……

Huo Yu rode his horse back to where his soldiers and horses were, and shouted: "The cavalry come out, the power and brave team come out, follow the general!"

With an order, more than [-] cavalry rode forward one after another and followed behind Huo Yu.

All the cavalry took a road of smoke and dust, looking north!

Seeing Huo Yu lead the troops away, the remaining generals couldn't help but said bitterly: "This time it's considered cheap, Huo Yu!"

Qiu Lu said with a smile: Don't be upset, everyone, the day of the Great War is still to come! "

……

Huo Yu led a group of cavalry and headed straight for the northern river.

Not long after we walked, we saw the Tatar camp in the distance.

At this time, the Tatar camp was in chaos because of the sound of horseshoes.

"The Quanyong team is in charge, and the rest of the soldiers are divided into two teams. They gallop from the east and west sides of the enemy army, first with fire arrows and then sharp arrows, to completely suppress the enemy army!"

With an order, the five thousand cavalry were instantly divided into three teams.

In the Tatar camp, the leader shouted loudly, ordering the infantry to seek cover as soon as possible, and the cavalry to stop the enemy.

It's just that as soon as the words fell, the sound of "swish" arrows piercing the air reached my ears.

On the east and west sides of the Tatar camp, arrows burning with orange flames rained down.

Every time a fire arrow landed on the tent, a bright flame instantly ignited...

Thick smoke billowed into the sky.

Huo Yu led the cavalry and only galloped back and forth to harass them, but did not engage the Tatars head-on.

Accidentally doing mental calculations, Da Zhou's cavalry attacked at both ends of the Tatar camp from the very beginning, making it an extravagant hope for these Tatars to even leave the camp.

The defeat of the Tatar army is a foregone conclusion!

Round after round of arrows rained down, washing everything in the entire camp on both sides.

For a time, the Tatar camp fell into complete collapse.

Huo Yu saw that the Tatar camp had fallen into chaos.

Can't help chuckling: "What's waiting is your collapse and chaos!"

After finishing speaking, after ordering a group of cavalry to fire two more rounds of arrows, Huo Yu suddenly waved his big hand.

"Quan Yong team, charge!"

Behind them, the Four Chong Quanyong team rushed towards the Tatar camp a stone's throw away.

"Kill it!"

While the banners were flying, all the cavalry rushed past the defeated Tatar camp with their knives in hand.

……

In the distance, Qiu Lu was still leading the army forward. Seeing the thick smoke rising into the sky ahead, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that our Tong Anhou has already fought with the Tatars! Let's go over quickly, too. It would be better for Tong Anhou to suppress the formation!"

Saying that, he turned around and ordered to the messenger beside him: "Notify, the army should speed up!"

………………

Shenjing, Rongguofu, and Rikain.

At this time, there was laughter.

The cause of the incident was that after hearing Aunt Xue's words, Xue Pan also thought that his family had accepted Jia Jing's love, so after asking Jia Jing's opinion, he made an appointment to invite Jia Lian and Baoyu to accompany him , I specially invited Jia Jing to a banquet at home.

Because Lin Daiyu agreed to the Xue family's banquet early on, Jia Jing returned home early on this day.

After changing into regular clothes, he and Lin Daiyu went to a banquet in Lixiangyuan.

As soon as she arrived at Lixiangyuan, Xue Baochai brought her maid to invite Lin Daiyu to chat in her room.

Jia Jing let Xue Baochai pull Lin Daiyu over to have a whisper, while she went straight to the main hall and had a banquet with Xue Pan and others.

As soon as Jia Jing arrived, Xue Pan hurriedly called the maids to serve.

After a while, the dishes are complete.

Xue Pan first got up and poured wine for Jia Jing and the others one by one. Inside the room, Aunt Xue also came out to thank Jia Jing. Only then did the banquet really begin.

Because the wine table was full of his own brothers or relatives, a few people were chatting and gossiping, and it was more casual. After a few glasses of wine, Xue Pan took Jia Baoyu to talk about his family's encounter with bandits in Pingan Prefecture a while ago. .

Jia Baoyu could be heard exclaiming again and again.

A table of banquets, during which the dishes and drinks were served again and again, until the branches of the moon were drunk, and everyone just left.
