Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

"Master Privy Envoy, this is..."

Piwei general An Shirong and Biaowei general Chu Heng were very puzzled by Niu Wenzhong's sudden laughter.

The food and grass were robbed and Fang Qiong died, which was already very bad news for Niu Wenzhong who was preparing to concentrate his forces to attack Gaizhou. Now Gao Qi's [-] troops are camping twenty miles to the southeast. The decision to build the state capital is about to come to naught.

Piwei general An Shirong was ready to suggest whether to withdraw the troops back to Zhaode Mansion, and then make plans, but Niu Wenzhong laughed out loud as if he had heard the great news.

"Why, don't you two think this is good news?" Niu Wenzhong glanced at Paiwei general An Shirong and Biaowei general Chu Heng in front of him: "In my opinion, this is great news!"

"Your Excellency means..." Biaowei General Chu Heng looked confused: "As soon as Gao Qiu comes, how can our army attack Gaizhou Capital as planned?"

"Hmph." Niu Wenzhong made a noise in his nose: "Let me ask you, is it easier to attack a city or fight in the field?"

"Of course it's a field battle!" Piwei general An Shirong and Biaowei general Chu Heng said in unison.

"That's right, now is the opportunity for a field battle! We are going to mobilize Gao Li's army of [-]!" Niu Wenzhong laughed and said, "Gao Qi has been standing still in Hui County, Weizhou, and I still have scruples; now Gao Li Qiu ostentatiously came to reinforce the Gaizhou government, but I felt relieved."

"If our army storms Gaizhou, the soldiers in the city will resist desperately, and if they capture the city, there will be heavy casualties; now that Gao Qiu's reinforcements come, if our army defeats Gao Qiu's [-] troops, you say, the soldiers in the city of Gaizhou What would you think?"

Niu Wenzhong's words made both Paiwei General An Shirong and Biaowei General Chu Heng cheer up. An Shirong rubbed his hands excitedly: "My lord, the reinforcements were beaten by us. Those soldiers must have low morale. Surrender in Kaesong!"

"That's right, it will be much easier to attack Gaizhou capital like this!" Biaowei general Chu Heng said: "It's just the issue of military rations..."

Niu Wenzhong laughed and said: "Gao Qi's [-] troops came from afar, so there is no military rations? If they are defeated, the problem of military rations will be solved."

Paiwei General An Shirong and Biaowei General Chu Heng suddenly realized, they both cupped their hands, and said in unison: "Please give me an order, my lord!"

"No hurry!" Niu Wenzhong shook his hand: "That fellow Gao Qiu must have also released spies and sent down an order to stop drills in the army and let the soldiers sleep!"

"sleep?"

"If you don't sleep, how do you go to rob the camp at night?" Niu Wenzhong smiled sinisterly: "If you find spies from the Song army, don't make a fuss and show them a lazy look. Reduce the number of tents to confuse the spies from the Song army ! By the way, put away my banner!"

"After dark, bury the pot and cook, let the soldiers have a full meal, and the next meal, I will eat in Gao Lian's big tent!"

...

...

"What? The number of bandits is less than [-], and even the guards in the battalion are sleeping?"

After listening to the spy's reply, Gao Qiu was full of doubts, frowned and said nothing.

"Have you seen it clearly?" Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng shouted to the spy: "According to the previous information, Niu Wenzhong, the puppet privy envoy, has [-] troops, how did it become less than [-]?"

"The villain can see clearly. Calculated by the number of tents in the camp, it is less than [-]." The spy looked aggrieved: "Moreover, there are only two generals in the army who recognize the military flag, Niu Wenzhong. I didn't see any flags."

"Could it be that Niu Wenzhong didn't come in person, but only sent two men to attack Gaizhou?"

Flying Dragon General Feng Mei felt more reliable the more she thought about it, and said decisively, "Marshal, this is a great opportunity for us! One hundred thousand against fifty thousand, if we can defeat them in one fell swoop, what about Niu Wenzhong's remaining 3 people in Gaoping County?" Can it stand against our army?"

They obviously didn't know about Fang Qiong's death.

"Investigate again!" Gao Qiu waved the spy back, closing his eyes as if he was resting his mind: "Could it be Niu Wenzhong's trick to confuse us and lure us to attack?"

"Probably not!" Feng Mei's heart was already in turmoil, and she didn't consider any unfavorable factors at all: "Even if you want to confuse our army, what can this lonely camp do to our army?"

Gao Qiu nodded slightly after hearing this, but without opening his eyes, he suddenly asked, "General Bi, what do you think?"

Bi Sheng was a bit displeased when Feng Mei stole the limelight, but when he saw Gao Qiu asking him, he was secretly happy, pretending to be pondering and looking more mature and dignified than Feng Mei, and after a while he cupped his hands and replied: "Marshal, thief After all, the soldiers are mobs. Without the traitor Baiying from the Imperial City Division, Tian Hu would not have occupied the 42 counties of the four prefectures so quickly. Niu Wenzhong led elite troops to rush into Gaizhou, but the progress was slow, and he used to attack the counties separately. , and finally encircle the strategy of Gaizhou Capital."

"As soon as the marshal's army arrives, Niu Wenzhong must have panicked. He gathered all the bandit soldiers in one place and wanted to attack Gaizhou Prefecture as a support to resist our army. Shall I wait for the elite of the forbidden army?"

"Whether the bandit soldiers are deliberately showing weakness or not, what difference does it make to our army? There is no danger here, it is a plain. Even if it is a trap, our army can wash it away."

Gao Qiu was very satisfied with Bi Sheng's long speech, nodded repeatedly, finally opened his eyes, and said "OK" three times!

"General Bi's analysis is very thorough, so it seems that this battle is going to be fought, and a beautiful victory will be won." Gao Qiu said happily: "Your name is indispensable in the credit book!"

Feng Mei secretly didn't like it, but it also disturbed Gao Qiu's interest quite a bit, so she had no choice but to agree casually: "The heavenly soldiers are everywhere, and the bandit soldiers must be fleeing in all directions. I'm afraid they don't even have the heart to resist. When Niu Wenzhong leads the army to escape, Our army pursued them all the way, and we were able to defeat them one by one, reaching the pseudo palace in Weisheng Prefecture."

"Well said!" Gao Qiu slapped the table excitedly: "If the second spy still has the same result, we will launch a massive attack tomorrow! Take down these [-] bandit soldiers in one fell swoop! It depends on the efforts of the two generals!"

"The last general is willing to listen to the orders of the marshal! Sweep down the bandit camp!"

Bi Sheng suddenly remembered Ximenqing who was still in Lingchuan County, so he mentioned it slightly. Gao Qiu was a little displeased and said, "Why are you talking about Ximenqing in such a good way? Let him stay in Lingchuan County as a supervisor. Do you want him to take the credit?"

"My lord, why don't you send a messenger to ask Ximenqing to attack Gaoping County?" Bi Shengjian said, "Niu Wenzhong must be there. One is to prevent Niu Wenzhong from coming to support the [-] bandit soldiers... and the other is to let him touch one Nails, or by the hands of Niu Wenzhong..."

Having said that, Bi Sheng raised his hand and put it on his neck.

That meaning couldn't be more obvious, but Gao Qiu shook his head and said: "This matter can't be taken carelessly. This time Ximen Qing is the supervisor of the army, it is the official's intention. Although sooner or later there will be a chance to kill this person, but it shouldn't be too obvious. In the end It's better to let him..."

"The last general is reckless."

Seeing that Bi Sheng had hit a soft nail, Feng Mei was overjoyed, and pretended to say: "The marshal has planned a strategy for this kind of thing, so why should we worry about it?"

Bi Sheng nodded in agreement, and the two stood up to say goodbye.

"When the spies come back, call the seven soldiers and horses to discuss the matter." Gao Qiu ordered: "Attack the enemy's camp, with [-] elite imperial troops as the main force to attack the central army, and the left and right wings will rely on them." Xiang Army."

Gao Qiu's arrangement was naturally intended to give great credit to Feng Mei and Bi Sheng. As for the soldiers and horses, it would be nice to have some soup.

"Yes!" Of course Feng Mei and Bi Sheng knew Gao Lian's intentions in such an arrangement, they were overjoyed and left.

...

Baodu Mountain.

When Xiong Biaoyu Yulin's messenger came, the village owner Tang Bin and the two deputy village leaders Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye were discussing, and the main topic was how to deliver food and grass to Niu Wenzhong's army in Gaizhou in time.

Before Tian Hu's uprising, Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye had fallen grass in Baodu Mountain, and there were a thousand or two thousand underlings under them; In Baodu Mountain, Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye led the young men down the mountain to rob, but they were defeated by Tang Bin alone.

Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye let the caravan pass, but instead invited Tang Bin to the cottage and gave him the position of village owner.

Tang Bin was out of loyalty, and it was a waste of his martial arts to be a caravan bodyguard, so he simply made obeisances with Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye, and settled down in Baodu Mountain.

Tian Hu has quite a lot of contacts in the green forest, and once there is an incident, he will contact the bandits in the Sanjin area. Niu Wenzhong was recruited as an official under such circumstances, and was soon worshiped as a privy envoy.

Tang Bin was willing to echo Tian Hu, but unlike Niu Wenzhong, he chose not to become an official with Tian Hu, but after discussing with the two deputy village chiefs, he continued to be stationed in Baodu Mountain, not under Tian Hu's jurisdiction, and still Be the owner of the village.

Since Tang Bin became the owner of the village, Baodu Mountain has been extremely prosperous. When Baodu Mountain had the largest number of soldiers, there were almost tens of thousands. Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye were convinced by this, so they had no objection to Tang Bin's decision. .

Baodu Mountain is the gateway from Zhaode Mansion to Gaizhou, and grain transportation must pass through Baodu Mountain. The soldiers in the village help to transport grain and grass, and they are very busy.

"Huh? The food and grass were robbed two days ago?" Tang Bin couldn't believe his ears when he heard the news brought by the messenger: "It's only a little over 100 miles from here to Gaoping County, and the two counties of Gaoping and Lingchuan are in the hands of the Privy Envoy. , where do people dare to rob our army's food and grass?"

The messenger spit out a name that was unfamiliar to Tang Bin: "Ximen Qing."

Tang Bin did not expect that not only Lingchuan County was taken by Ximenqing, but also Fang Qiong, the general of Yiwei, was killed, and Ximenqing was also the one who robbed the food.

"What kind of person is this person? Why haven't I heard of it before?" Tang Bin was very annoyed.

"Ximen Qing is the supervisor of the Song Army. But right now he is guarding Lingchuan County alone, not in Gao Qiu's army."

Tang Bin was even more puzzled by the messenger's answer.

What was going on in Ximenqing's mind?

"Ximen Qing is the official of the Imperial City Department." A voice came from outside the door: "This person has become famous recently, and he is a legend."

Tang Bin looked around, and this glance surprised him even more.
