Yutai Bi

Chapter 272 Fighting 1
General Wang was stunned, took the letter and put it next to him, called his personal guards, and galloped towards the Chinese army camp in the rear.

In the camp of the Chinese army a hundred miles away, Su Dingfang, the deputy chief of the march to the west, was in a state of desperation.The soldier said in a low voice: "Perhaps when he went south, He Lu entangled 10 people and fell on the battlefield against us. In such a wide place, when it rains and the wind blows, who can find it!"

Su Dingfang slapped him on the forehead, and his back teeth clenched: "That's the emperor's personal letter! It will be miserable if Du Yansui gets it!"

That's not just a decree.Su Dingfang thought dumbly, how could this happen?

The soldiers gritted their teeth: "Why don't you go to visit the camp with only [-] soldiers..." His hand slashed down fiercely.

Surprised, Su Dingfang jumped up: "What nonsense are you kidding? Is my old Su that kind of person?"

"Report to the deputy commander! General Wang is here!" A loud report sounded from outside the tent.

Su Dingfang's heart skipped a beat.Although General Wang is only a small exploratory general, he is the grandson of Wang Xiang.I can be regarded as watching him grow up since I was a child, why did he come here?He shouted, "Let him in!"

General Wang strode in, cupped his fists and saluted sullenly: "I will not meet the deputy general!"

Su Dingfang looked at him in surprise and said: "You led the camp, why did you come back with your own soldiers?"

General Wang unhappily took out the letter from his arms, held it with both hands, and said angrily: "The commander has an order, and the last general is just a small probing general, so he can only obey it. I hope the deputy commander has read the letter." Afterwards, quickly give the receipt to the general. The coach said, if you make a mistake, if you peek, if you don’t return before sunset, the head of the general will be hung on the flagpole!"

Seeing the familiar cover, the corners of Su Dingfang's eyes twitched, and he pulled the letter away. Seeing the word Du clearly printed on the sealing sealer, his hands trembled.

He opened it tremblingly, and there were two pieces of letterhead inside.One is a secret letter from the emperor, and the other is in Du Yansui's beautiful and familiar handwriting: "Su Shuai feels like meeting a letter..."

Su Dingfang's face turned red and then turned pale. He grabbed the letter and pushed the soldiers, and shouted loudly: "Tell General Xiao to come to the camp of the Chinese army! No, order him to rush to Suiye City with 2 troops!"

The soldiers were stunned.Su Dingfang stomped his feet and ran out of the handsome camp.

General Wang chased after him anxiously: "Deputy Commander! Hurry up and give me the receipt! Otherwise, I won't be able to run back before sunset, and I'll lose my head!"

Seeing the 2 horses stepping on the long dust and smoke to fly her out of the camp, Su Dingfang looked at the last ray of sunlight in the west and worried: "I hope there is time..."

Suddenly there was a burst of crying.

Su Dingfang turned his head and saw that General Wang was squatting beside him and crying loudly.

He kicked it over with one kick: "A good man bleeds but doesn't shed tears. What mourning do you want?"

General Wang got up from the ground, wiping away tears, his face full of grief and indignation: "I knew the goddamn Du Yansui would give me small shoes! Don't let me go into battle to kill the enemy and die on the battlefield, just behead me like this, I don't accept it! Not convinced! Uncle, you have to help me!"

Su Dingfang was angry and funny, spat at him and said, "Is Du Yansui that kind of sinister villain?" After speaking, he sighed and said, "He is saving you for the sake of the king... From now on you will Follow me. Pass the order, beat the drum and raise the tent!"

The tent of the Chinese army commander is full of generals and generals.A general like Wang Shishilang is not qualified to enter the commander's tent to discuss matters.After listening to Su Dingfang's half-baked words, Wang Shishilang was also dazed outside the handsome tent in a daze.

No matter how confused he was, he knew in his heart that he couldn't go back to the camp now.If Du Yansui seriously followed the three laws of beheading, his head would be unstable.

"Wang Shishilang!" A slap was slapped on his shoulder so hard that he almost staggered.

Wang Shishilang turned around in response, also stunned: "Cui Zhongdong? Why are you here?"

Cui Zhongdong smiled and jumped on the fence next to him and sat down: "I am a centurion in the Chinese army. I heard that you are a brave boy, so I chose the camp. My buddy admires it to death. If this battle is won, you must be sent to the camp." Make a note of it!"

The Three Thousand Exploring Camp is the eyes and ears of the large army.It is necessary to find water sources for the army, find camps, and draw topographic maps.In a group of five, they can fight alone in case of danger.The soldiers who explored the camp were carefully selected and skilled in bow and horse.With one order, Tanying can be sprinkled like pepper noodles.The West Turkic region is vast, and there are blisters in the Gobi Desert everywhere.Twenty teams of the camp were sent out, even if they didn't encounter the enemy, they would encounter quicksand and swamps, and they would all be damaged when they returned.

After exploring the camp, there are five thousand vanguard troops.After that, there will be a three-way army from the left, the middle and the right.The probability of making first achievements in the camp is almost the same as that of the vanguard army.At the same time, exploring the camp is also the most dangerous.When encountering enemy troops, the probability of being ambushed is also high.

The king fell, but the Wang family could not.Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance.Wang Shishilang rushed to explore the camp for the high chance of making meritorious service.

He glanced at Cui Zhongdong, remembering that the founding marquis was deposed, and Empress Cui was deposed as a commoner and imprisoned in the cold palace.Thinking about his own situation, he felt a sympathy for Cui Zhongdong.

"Don't mention it! I can't go back to the camp now. Du Yansui has sharpened his sword and is waiting for me to stretch my neck." Wang Shishilang kicked a stone away from his feet.

Hearing Du Yansui's name, Cui Zhongdong's eyes flashed, and he put his arm on Wang Shishilang's shoulder with a smile: "He went to your camp to inspect, and he set you a trap? I just watched General Xiao and yelled anxiously." I took the troops out of the camp, what happened ahead?"

Thinking of Su Dingfang's vague words, and the plan Du Yansui said in the account.Wang Shishilang understood a little bit, but was also a little bit dissatisfied: "He took a fancy to my elite scouts, and wanted to set up an ambush in Suiye City... the commander and I, a small general, took credit for their achievements, and didn't even look at the scouts. How many people! General Xiao can't make it to Suiye City, he just waits to be made dumplings by He Lu!"

Cui Zhongdong's eyes widened: "You mean that his majestic commander robbed your expedition camp first, and brought 3000 people to design He Lu? Be darling, if He Lu is expected to be killed by him, what do you want us to do?" Why?"

Wang Shishilang sneered and said: "The imperial court envoys to confer Datu as the new Khan, and He Lu will definitely send troops to intercept it. As soon as the army passed Jinshan, He Lu entangled 10 people to fight us. 3000 people in the camp, There are 1000 guards escorting the imperial envoy. How many thousand people will He Lu personally take? He is also afraid that Dadu will join forces with us, at least he will bring 4 to [-] horses. It would be great if Du Yansui came back alive, I think Kill He Lu, let's be a fucking daydream!"

"Shishi Lang, you are right! But this is not right either! He is the commander of the 20 expedition to the West? He is not afraid of ruining the [-] Expeditionary Battalion and being charged with underestimating the enemy?" Cui Zhongdong is idle, but Not an idiot either.

Wang Shishilang also couldn't figure it out, so he said angrily: "He is the head coach, rushing to do the vanguard job, what is this called!"

At this time, a thundering voice sounded from the commander's tent: "...Respectfully invite the commander to promote the tent!"

The two of them were startled, and when they heard the sound of military drums beating the mountains, they knew that all the generals above the general level were summoned to gather, so they didn't dare to delay, and ran towards the commander's tent.

Su Dingfang wore a red handsome robe and sat in the middle of the handsome tent.As soon as the point was finished, I heard the herald read aloud holding a thin letter paper: "By God, the emperor ordered Su Dingfang, the deputy commander of Zhengxi West, to be the commander of the Congling March, and he will be the commander of the Western Army. .This is it!"

Inside and outside the handsome tent, people kneeled all over the ground to receive the order.

The letterhead was passed around by the herald.The generals, deputy generals and beneficiaries in the tent can all see clearly that they are ordered by heaven, since the eight characters of Yongchang cannot be faked, it is indeed the emperor's jade seal.

There is no mention of Du Yansui in half a word.It is a taboo to change the coach just before the battle.However, most of the generals in the account are former British public servants, and a large part of them are descendants of aristocratic families.Seeing that Su Dingfang received the commander's seal, he didn't complain for Du Yansui in the slightest.People like Cui Zhongdong are even more happy.

Su Dingfang thought about the letter written by Du Yansui, sighed in his heart, and dispatched troops again.

After leaving the tent, Cui Zhongdong went back to the camp, summoned the soldiers brought by Ming's family, wrote a few words, rolled them into thin scrolls, put them in a thin bamboo tube, and said viciously: "Send this letter to He Lu." .You don’t need to come back, just find your way back to Beijing.”

"Little man understands. Take care, Third Young Master." The soldier carefully put the bamboo tube into his boots and hurried away.

The news that the head coach had been replaced by Su Dingfang did not reach the supervising and anchoring team in the rear until an hour later.

Yuchi Baoshu was slightly taken aback, a big pimple formed between his brows.

Du Jingxian turned pale with shock, and hurried to find someone to find out about Du Yansui.

At the same time, two groups of people took advantage of the darkness to quietly leave the camp of the Chinese Army and galloped towards Chang'an City.

In the rocky mountain depression not far from Suiye City, a simple tent was set up.

From time to time, spies came back and reported the situation in a low voice.

Du Yansui marked on the map silently, and finally delineated a place: "He Lu must hide his troops here. When the imperial envoy enters Suiye City tomorrow, the troops will be divided into two groups, and all the way will besiege the city to cut off the connection between the imperial envoy and Dadu." Contact, and divide the troops all the way to attack Dadu's camp. He Lu will definitely lead the troops to fight Dadu himself. Let's get in from here, and we will be able to form an inner and outer alliance with Dadu."

"General, if the soldiers and horses in the siege of He Lu turn around to rescue us, we will be like meat!" said a partial general.

Du Yansui said lightly: "If I expect it to be correct, the vanguard reinforcements sent by Su Shuai will arrive at most half a day later than us. The army will arrive at most one day later. As long as we can carry it Hold on, He Lu won't be able to escape this time. Even if he can escape, he will suffer a lot!"

The generals gasped: "This is to use the camp as bait! Use imperial envoys as bait!"

"It's not bait, it's a fishhook. Catch He Lu's fishhook!" A cold light flashed in Du Yansui's eyes, and he slapped his hand heavily on the map west of Suiye City.A smile faded from his face, "Everyone, this battle is dangerous and dangerous, but it can also achieve extraordinary feats. If someone refuses to go, Du will not stay. He also knows how to march."
