King of Song

Chapter 560
Killed the logging soldiers, sent letters of abuse, and then openly sent troops to attack Tabai City.

A series of methods have only one purpose, which is to anger Lin Zhao and make him go to the rescue immediately when he receives the rescue information from Tabai City.

From a logical and practical point of view, this is indeed the case.

Tabai City is of great significance to Hezhou and Hehuang, and it is also of great significance to the Song Dynasty today.There is no room for loss, and it is exactly what the Art of War says must be saved.

If Tabai City is attacked, the generals of the Song Dynasty must be anxious.Especially after being abused and irritated, the mood will be even worse. At this time, it is easy to get hot-blooded and careless.

It seems that the Tubo people also figured out the psychology of the generals very well, and they also grasped the timing well, at least doing so can anger Jing Sili.Seeing such a situation, Jing Sili, who is already the judge of Xizhou, said angrily: "Young Mu Zheng is too crazy, you must send troops to punish him severely."

Lin Zhao seemed to have the same mentality as in the original history, and asked, "Do you think it's time to send troops? Teach Mu Zheng a lesson?"

Jing Sili calmed down a bit, and also heard the implication in Lin Zhao's words, and said, "Sending troops is certain. Stepping into Baicheng is very important to us, so we need rescue!"

Oh, that's right!

Lin Zhao also felt that Jing Sili was a relatively stable person, so he would not be so passionate and do impulsive things.In the original history, the reason why he hastily dispatched troops was precisely because of stepping on Baicheng.Mu Zheng's attack did indeed threaten the life of the Song army. Under such circumstances, Jing Sili's reaction was not surprising.

"Tabaicheng must be saved, but I'm afraid this battle will not be so easy!" Lin Zhao sighed softly.

"Mu Zheng is just a remnant, he is looking for death by showing up now!"

Lin Zhao understood the second reason. Jing Sili had suffered a disastrous defeat in Tabai City. A very important reason was that he underestimated the enemy or misjudged the information.

"Is Mu Zheng really just a remnant?"

"What does General Lin mean?"

Lin Zhao smiled and asked, "Showing your face is courting death, and Mu Zheng naturally understands this truth, but why does he insist on doing this?"

"This..." Jing Sili's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something.

"There are only three possibilities. The first is that he wants to die; the second is that he is crazy, and the third is that he has nothing to fear." Lin Zhao said: "The first two are obviously impossible, and there can only be the third. Then, What can make Mu Zheng feel confident?"

"Reinforcement?" Jing Sili was startled suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat, and asked tremblingly, "General Lin said that reinforcements from Hehuang Tubo have arrived?"

"It should be like this, otherwise he would never dare to act rashly." Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "On the surface, it seems that Mu Zheng is attacking alone, but in reality? There may be a powerful force behind Tabai City , is gaining momentum.”

Jing Sili was still skeptical, because according to the information obtained so far, Hehuang's reinforcements had not arrived.The eastern frontier army of Hehuang Tubo was only on the defensive, and even their coach Qing Yijie Guizhang was not there.

Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "Tabai City is lost, which means that the east gate of Hehuang is opened without any barriers. Can the Tubo in Hehuang not be in a hurry? As long as we want, we can enter Hehuang at any time. At this time, their border defense Is it reasonable that the coach is not here? Could it be that Hehuang Tubo has more trust in me and decided that we will not take advantage of the situation to attack?"

A rhetorical question immediately left Jing Sili speechless. His own strengths are commanding operations, being good at defending, and rectifying military affairs.The observation ability is relatively insufficient, and the consideration of the problem is not very sufficient.In addition, the past few years have been smooth and smooth, and the battle has been smooth all the way.Especially this time against Hezhou, the situation was almost one-sided.Even though Lin Zhao kept reminding him that Jing Sili was strict with himself, but there would be some psychological changes, which would sometimes affect his judgment.

If the mentality is too careless, and the inquiring information is not timely enough, it is easy to make wrong judgments and cause serious consequences.

In the original history, Jing Si immediately determined that it was only Mu Zheng's remnants who attacked Tabai City, and sent troops rashly. He didn't expect Qing Yijie Guizhang to appear suddenly, so that he was besieged and eventually wiped out.

This is a bloody lesson. The result of the battle of stepping on Baicheng is of great significance to Da Song and himself.So Lin Zhao has always kept enough sobriety, lest there be the slightest mistake.

A small mistake is a thousand miles away, especially on the battlefield!

Jing Sili asked: "General Lin, are you sure that Hehuang's reinforcements have arrived?"

"It must be here. It's been long enough for them to prepare. Qing Yijie Guizhang has probably returned to the front line secretly. Hehuang's rescue of Hezhou is inevitable. We have already agreed on this. Besides, it's not too late, Hehuang There won't be too long a delay there."

Lin Zhaodao: "After Mu Zheng's defeat in Baicheng, he must be actively seeking help. At this time, it is natural to hit it off with Qing Yi. Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to come out and jump like this. His reaction is already a bit too positive. With him The strength does not match!"

"Are the Hehuang reinforcements hiding their strength?" Jing Sili gradually understood.

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Yes!"

"What is their purpose?"

"Tabai City is also the place we must save now. They just want to use this method to force us out of the city to rescue, and then ambush us halfway. It is similar to our previous method."

Lin Zhaodao: "The Tubo people are very self-aware. They know that they are not our opponents in terms of attacking cities. Good at field battles.

Lure our army out of the city, without the protection of the city, they can take advantage of the cavalry field to defeat us.If our army is damaged, is it still capable of occupying Hezhou?At that time, they can only withdraw eagerly, and they will be able to regain Hezhou without much effort.

Sometimes vitality is more important than land.In order to achieve such a goal, Mu Zheng naturally jumped out to make bait, while Qing Yijie Guizhang hid and became a weasel, waiting for us to pray for the mantis to catch the cicada. "

"How does General Lin know Tubo's intentions so well?" Jing Sili could think of many things, but he was definitely not as thorough and penetrating as Lin Zhao, so he was a little puzzled.

Facing this question, Lin Zhao was at a loss for words for a while, and really didn't know how to answer it.Are you telling Jing Sili that these are lessons you learned at the cost of your life?

"It's based on the analysis of intelligence, as well as some of my guesses and deduction!" Lin Zhao prevaricated: "Furthermore, I have seen Mu Zheng and Qing Yi knotting ghosts, and I have had contact with them, so I can more or less understand it." Speculate on their possible movements."

"Then the most urgent thing is... to confirm whether the Hehuang reinforcements from Qingyi Guizhang have arrived?" Jing Sili was still a little puzzled before he had any definite information.

Lin Zhao didn't think that it was right to question, and the more so, the more admiration and approval he had for himself afterwards.

Soon, the news will come back!
There are traces of army mobilization in Hehuang Tubo territory!After all, the scale is very large, and there is no impenetrable wall in the world, which cannot be concealed from the spies of the Song Army.Not only that, Qingtang City also found out a very important news, this time the people from the east, besides Qing Yijie Guizhang, there is another person - Ali Gu!

After receiving the news, Jing Sili was in a cold sweat again.

What Lin Zhao said was right, he was indeed careless, and Mu Zheng was just a bait.Qing Yijie Guizhang, with the oriole behind, must have already cast the net, so he can only get in by himself.

In this time and space, because of Lin Zhao's arrival, Jing Sili and his [-] soldiers escaped temporarily.

"General Lin, since we already know the intentions of the Tubo people, what should we do?" In the matter of meeting the enemy, Jing Sili completely obeyed Lin Zhao's orders.Even though he is older than Lin Zhao, he is General Yunhui, the frontline coach.And he has better knowledge than himself, and is more cautious than himself.

"Tabai City must be rescued!" When Lin Zhaolin left, he left [-] soldiers behind for Tabai City.As far as the small city with a circumference of less than a kilometer is concerned, it is already considered to have a strong military force.However, without foreign aid, it is entirely possible to be breached.

"That's right!" Jing Sili said, "It's just how to avoid Qingyi's ambush?"

"Since we can't avoid it, then we have no choice but to fight hard!"

"What does General Lin mean?" Jing Sili was a little confused by Lin Zhao's answer.

"Qingyi's ghost knot cannot be circumvented, so why bother? Since he is here, how can he be allowed to slip away so easily?" Lin Zhaodao: "So, we still need to rescue the white city, as usual. .”

"How to arrange it?"

"Give you 6000 people to rescue Baicheng, how about it?"

Jing Sili was stunned by Lin Zhao's words, and he said in surprise, "It's no problem for the general to go to the rescue, but it seems that 6000 people... If Qing Yi arrives, the strength of the Tubo people will be at least [-]." More than twice as much as us!"

"It's a little risky, but..."

Seeing this, Jing Sili asked, "What's the general's plan, but it's okay to say, the general will definitely cooperate with all his strength!"

Thinking about it carefully, Lin Zhao has never been a reckless person, 6000 people are not enough, it is impossible for him not to know.But still insisting on this, there must be another deep meaning.

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice, "Brother Sili, what is the purpose of our dispatch of troops this time? Is it just to rescue Tabai City?"

Sure enough, Jing Sili listened silently.

"You also know that the potential target of the war against Hezhou this time is Hehuang. At present, no troops have been mobilized in depth. One is to stabilize Hezhou, and the other is to wait for the Tibetans to intervene. We will have sufficient reasons to move forward." Lin Zhaodao: "Since Qing Yi came here with a ghost, then our purpose is definitely not only to rescue, but also to wipe out the enemy.

Current intelligence shows that Qing Yijie Guizhang led an army of [-] troops to the east, and they were all elites.If we kill them, the military strength of Hehuang Tubo will inevitably drop, and it will be much easier for us to advance westward to Qingtang City. "

"Yes, it should be!"

"Qing Yijie Guizhang and Mu Zheng dug a hole for us. Fortunately, we saw it through, but I want to follow suit!" Lin Zhao said: "He used Mu Zheng as a cicada, and we used the six thousand reinforcements to make mantises. , to attract the oriole Qing Yijie Guizhang to come out. Behind the oriole, we have another eagle!"

"How is this general eagle going to be raised? Where will he break through?" Jing Sili had basically understood Lin Zhao's intentions.

"It was still troublesome, but I didn't expect Ali Gu to come, so let's attack him!" Lin Zhaodao: "Qingyi must have taken the main force to step on Baicheng with the ghost chapter. Ali Gu is in the middle army on the border. This time to break it in one fell swoop..."

"Wonderful!" Jing Sili said: "I heard that Ali Gu is the prince of Tubo, who is deeply favored by Dong Zhan, and then he turned around and came out from behind Qing Yijie Guizhang, our army attacked from east to west..."

"That's the idea!" Lin Zhao nodded slightly.

"But Ali Gu's central army is much farther back, relying on a large detour, will there be enough time?"

The trick is good, but it is actually a race against time.If Da Song wants to win, he must kill Ali Gu and return to aid before Qing Yijie Guizhang and Mu Zheng completely defeat Jing Sili.In terms of distance, there is no advantage at all.

"Naturally, there will be no problem if there are too many people, but there will be no problem if there are few people!" Lin Zhao said with a smile, "Haven't I been preparing all this time?"

"General Lin is talking about Daofeng of the Song Dynasty?" Jing Sili said in surprise, "But there are only 2000 people!"

"There are only 2000 people, but they are all selected warriors. How many guards can there be on Aligu's side? And because of the distance, they are in the rear, and their defenses are more relaxed, so it is easier to succeed." Lin Zhao said: " Two thousand cavalry, there is enough time."

"This..." Jing Sili still hesitated, feeling that Lin Zhao's actions were deliberately risky!

Lin Zhaodao: "Da Song Daofeng's attack is not risky, and the real danger is to step on Baicheng and hold Qingyi to form a ghost chapter."

"I want to personally lead the cavalry to attack Ali Gu's rear army, and step on the side of Baicheng..." Lin Zhaodao: "After making sure to defend everywhere, only 6000 mobile troops can be mobilized. This number will not cause Qing Yi to form a ghost badge." Doubt, it is easier to attract him to the bait... It's just that it is too difficult to use [-] people to resist twice as many enemies.

Others may not be able to do it, so I thought... Brother Sili, can you do it?I know that going here is very dangerous, and it may even be close to death..."

"Don't worry too much, general. Serving for the imperial court is the responsibility of a general. Isn't it dangerous? Can it compare to being in Dashun City?" Jing Sili said loudly, "I'll just go."

"Brother Sili!" Lin Zhao felt a little uncomfortable, even though he had seen through Qing Yi's intention to form a ghost chapter, it was still so dangerous to push Jing Sili and those six thousand soldiers in.

Jing Sili waved his hand and said, "Dongyang, please allow me to call you that. You and I are brothers who have lived and died together in Dashun City. There is nothing to say. I will go to Baicheng, so you can rest assured that you will definitely procrastinate." Live in Qingyi to tie a ghost badge!" After finishing speaking, he patted Lin Zhao's shoulder heavily, his eyes very firm.

"Well, I'm sorry!" Lin Zhao said, "Don't worry, I will kill you back as soon as possible."
