Aspiration

Chapter 37 Military emergency

"He's in Baiyangdian? Fight against the enemies at Wuguan?" Li Laiheng was a little surprised. Whose idea was this?As a deputy commander in chief, he was actually used as a front army.Did Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu want to keep the matter of Li Zicheng's disappearance from Liu Zongmin?
Li Guo was a little panicked and embarrassed, and he replied: "The enemy at Wuguan is Yang Sichang's direct descendant, and his strength is relatively strong. We think it is more appropriate for him to guard the south."

There are also valid reasons.Li Laiheng didn't continue to ask, he understood what they meant.He was ruling out the possibility of Li Zicheng's disappearance one by one.He thought of the direction of Xi'an.The direction of Xi'an is the northern front, where officers and soldiers gather at Hotan, and the most important passes in the north of Li Zicheng's Shangluo Mountain base are Shimen Valley and Dayu Valley.To the north is Yuan Zongdi, the commander-in-chief. Who is guarding Shimen Valley?

"Who is there in Shimen Valley?"

"Black Tiger Star and Sitting Tiger."

Li Laiheng's heart trembled. These two were bandits. It took less than a year to reform them. How loyal were they?He remembered that in order to reform these two troops, didn't King Chuang send Li You and Liu Tichun there?
"Are Li You and Liu Tichun still in Shimen Valley?" Li Laiheng asked.

"Liu Tichun went to Xi'an to pick up someone, a man named Niu Jinxing. Li You is in Shimen Valley."

"When did you meet Li You?"

"I saw him yesterday." Li Shuangxi replied.

"Yesterday? Where did you meet him yesterday?"

"Yesterday we went to Shimen Valley and met Li You." Li Shuangxi said.

Well, there are eyebrows.Li Laiheng didn't ask any more questions, he had a plan.However, it was difficult to say that things would go well, and he had to arrange what was in front of him.

"Father, seeing Uncle Xiu, I thought, the enemy is going to invade these few days, it's good if we can find King Chuang, but if we can't find it, we have to keep playing this scene, and there's no way to stop it suddenly Come down. See Uncle Xiu, you have always been called Zhuge Liang, I would like to invite you to sit in the Central Army and be responsible for military planning. Father, you are still in charge of the Eastern Front, but you must be prepared to fight tough battles. Hukou is the last line of defense. If people are locked up there, if they fail there, the entire rebel army will fall apart. There are probably [-] enemies in Shangzhou, and more than [-] are used to attack the fortifications. Songjiazhai is the first line of defense. It is unreliable. Hukou is our main battlefield; the southern front is still led by Master Liu, the general sentry. The enemy at Wuguan is the elite of Yang Sichang, with a force of [-] to [-], and they will attack fiercely. Baiyangdian must not miss, it is ours Strategic retreat; the north, Hotan direction, the heavy troops from Xi'an must come from that direction, General Yuan Zongdi guards that side; the old camp of the Chinese army, see Uncle Xiu, you are in charge, the deployment of all parties is decided by you, and the order is also up to you Issued. The other generals have their own defense zones, and make preparations for the battle as soon as possible.”

Li Laiheng dispatched military affairs quickly and carefully, Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu, etc. were secretly surprised, generals, no, they should be handsome.Li Laiheng paused, and then said, "I, support. If necessary, I will pretend to be King Chuang."

After the exclamation of "Ho!", there was a long silence.

Pretending to be Li Zicheng must take a huge risk.

This is the worst possible scenario.If the enemy invades at a critical moment and King Chuang has to come out to preside over military affairs, someone must take the risk to pretend to be him.This kind of pretense is risky. First, the person pretending to be must have the ability to control the entire situation. No matter what the situation is, whether Li Zicheng's disappearance is leaked or not, he must control the entire situation.Second, once Liu Zongmin and others know that King Chuang is a fake, they will kill the pretender on the spot in a fit of anger. King Chuang is missing, and he can hide it from anyone, but he shouldn't.Therefore, once the fact of pretending is leaked, the person pretending to be must bear the impromptu handling and full responsibility.

Of course, it stands to reason that since the commander-in-chief has disappeared, the deputy commander-in-chief should come out to preside over the big plans, and it is only natural that Liu Zongmin presides over the overall situation.But in fact, Liu Zongmin is now an outsider.In other words, many people do not want him to preside over the overall situation.This is where the problem freezes now.

Liu Zongmin cannot become the leader of the rebel army.

This is the fact that the generals of the rebel army subconsciously did not recognize his leadership, and he could not replace Li Zicheng.

Li Laiheng's heart was clear for a long time, so he proposed that he play Li Zicheng.

Acting has two meanings. One is to put on a show temporarily. After the acting is over, the tricks are taken off, and there is still time to do what you should do.Another meaning is that when necessary, when your play is over, I will come on stage and change the protagonist.

Li Laiheng does have these two meanings.Of course, he has no intention of usurping the throne now, unless there is a major historical mistake and he must be pushed onto the stage, then he has no choice but to follow the trend of history.

In the evening, Li Laiheng rode on a fast horse, took Wang Si and several others, and went straight to Shimen Valley.

At dawn, Li Laiheng finally arrived at Shimen Valley. The 100-mile mountain road was thanks to Li Zicheng's oolong horse.BMW is not ordinary, it can run wildly under the moonlight.

In the woods two miles away from Shimen Valley, Li Laiheng and the others hid their horses.It was dawn soon, and due to time constraints, they had to sneak in even in broad daylight.

Shimen Valley is the northernmost pass of the Shangluo Mountain Rebel Army. This side is facing the enemy from the Wuguan side. Half of the Shaanxi soldiers may come from this direction.Li Laiheng suspected that Li Zicheng was in Shimen Valley.

It is not too difficult for Li Laiheng to sneak into Shimen Valley. Once he goes in, it is not difficult to move around in it. The difficulty is how to find Li Zicheng.Intuitively, Li Zicheng was kidnapped by them, and they must have hidden Li Zicheng in a very secret place.Li You is here every day, and he doesn't know about Li Zicheng's disappearance, which shows that Zuoshanhu and the others are keeping it very secret.

He didn't plan to meet Li You, he directly inquired about Zuo Shanhu's news.They act separately, and each of the four has its own task.Li Laiheng entered the Chinese army hall where the tiger sits.

Zuo Shanhu is worthy of being called Zuo Shanhu. He has a square head, big ears, and is strong and strong. At this time, he is eating chicken noodles with a large bowl of noodles. up.

"Grandma, Heihuxing fled the battle. The army is about to invade here, but he asked for leave to go home to bury his mother. Second in charge, what's the news from Xi'an?"

Zuo Shanhu yelled after eating the noodles, and in the second half of the sentence, he deliberately lowered his voice.

"There are no less than [-] officers and soldiers in Hetian, and Cao Bianjiao is leading the army. Our people have already taken over Xi'an. It is said there that if there is a change, we will 'click'."

The second in charge was a lean man, and when he said "click", he clenched his teeth tightly.

Sitting Tiger looked around.There was a "hmm" in my nose, and after a while, I said in my mouth: "We are weak, we are dead, and we need to find someone to support us. There, have you explained clearly?"

"It's clear, a few of them are fine ghosts who have followed us for many years, and they work quickly."

"Okay. Over there in the old camp, are people arranged?"

"It's been arranged. It's only five or six miles from the old camp to the Shehukou. Once the Shehukou passes by, it will take only a short time for the army to cover the old camp. Songjiazhai, Lujiazhai, several places have been arranged, and they will be on time. take over."

"Well, let's go defend the stronghold. Li You and others will deal with it first as soon as the army moves. At this time tomorrow, I guess it should be launched?"

"Yes. The officers and soldiers mobilized earlier than expected. Their old battalion has been taken over. There is no need to wait a few more days. It should be very lively by this time tomorrow."

The more Li Laiheng heard it, the more frightened he became.

He knew that Li Zicheng was here, and he might not be able to find out where he was hiding for a while.However, the military situation has changed, and the enemy will launch a general offensive tomorrow morning. In other words, the only time to prepare is today.In particular, from the few words in their mouths, it can be inferred that Shehukou has surrendered to the enemy in secret. Tonight, officers and soldiers will come in from Songjiazhai, pass through Shehukou, and go straight to the old camp.The military situation is urgent.

There are spies in the old camp.Lu's village is also a serious problem. He sent troops to capture Zhiting Mountain, and then separated Baiyangdian. In this way, the rebels in Shangluo Mountain would not be able to respond head to tail.

The military situation is urgent and time is precious, and Li Laiheng hates not having the ability to clone himself.If he wasted time in rescuing Li Zicheng here, the rebel army would soon collapse under the attack of officers and soldiers tomorrow.If he went back to prepare for the battle and the rebels kept him, Li Zicheng might be sent to Xi'an by sitting on a mountain tiger.Dilemma.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Laiheng made a decision.He sneaked back into the jungle, issued a signal to return to the team, and waited for the other three to return.

After a while, Wang Si came back, and another special soldier also came back, and another one was entangled by something and did not come back.Wait no more.He asked Wang Si and the two of them what they had discovered. They said that at least half of the middle and high-level leaders of Zuoshanhu were ready to rebel, and some people from Heihuxing were also ready to join the enemy. Surrender to the enemy.They did not detect the news of the officers and soldiers attacking tomorrow.

Li Laiheng looked at Wang Si.

"Are you confident?" Li Laiheng's eyes were cold.

Wang Si smiled and said: "I know what to do. Here, we must not only save King Chuang's life, but also try our best to prevent Sishanhu from offering the pass, and repel the attack of officers and soldiers."

"It's hard. Three goals, each of which is difficult to accomplish. These two brothers are for you, try your best."

Li Laiheng asked Wang Si and the others to find Li Zicheng among the wolves, prevent the enemy from giving up Shimen Valley, and organize the rebels to resist the attack of the officers and soldiers. It was difficult and dangerous.

Li Laiheng was about to leave alone when the remaining special soldier came back.He told Li Laiheng that King Chuang was in Laoye's nunnery in Shimen Valley.

Eagle Watch?
Li Laiheng's brain went numb, like getting an electric shock. , Chuang Wang's life, only half of the ten lives left.Eagle View, on the top of Shimen Valley, there is no weeds and trees around, and there is still white light in the sun. Not to mention that it is inaccessible during the day, even under the moonlight at night, anyone who wants to go up will be seen clearly .What's more, the people who guarded Chuang Wang there were all old ghosts under Zuo Shanhu. It was really too difficult to save Li Zicheng.

A strong attack will definitely not work, and they will tear up the ticket if there is any trouble.

Outsmart.This topic is really too difficult.

Why come up with such a problem as Goldbar's conjecture?Why does one plus one equal two?Now, even the Nighthawk helicopter could not save Li Zicheng.The U.S. Navy SEALs have never had such difficulty fighting Aben.

Li Laiheng painfully decided that Wang Si and two other special forces members should carry out this mission.

"I'll come back before dawn tomorrow. Here, I don't ask you to fight hard. As long as King Chuang is still alive, his life comes first." Li Laiheng said.

"Understood." Wang Si replied.

Li Laiheng must return to the old camp immediately.Li Zicheng has one life, and the rebel army can have more than 8000.

Li Laiheng asked for two horses, and he rested the horses non-stop, planning to take a nap on their backs.

The sound of horseshoes rushing from north to south.All the passes are strange, who is this person?Riding Chuang Wang's oolong horse and galloping, there must be some urgent military situation, right?
Every time Li Laiheng passed a pass, he conveyed an order from King Chuang: the guard of the pass will immediately go to the old camp for a meeting, and the guards will be on alert.

Li Laiheng activated his special forces unit.The garrison in the south of the old camp also passed down the general order. (The terrain of the entire Shangluo Mountain Rebel War Zone is a long strip, laid out in a north-south direction, nearly two hundred miles long from north to south, and only ten miles wide at the narrowest point from east to west. In this strip-shaped position, there are countless passes There are as many as ten places, and there are also four or five fortresses in critical places, that is, fortresses with open terrain that are conducive to the movement of large troops, all of which are places with heavy soldiers.)
Li Laiheng will play Li Zicheng.He will arrange the entire campaign on behalf of Li Zicheng.

This test is not easy.

Liu Zongmin has the farthest distance, and he will have to wait for the time to arrive at the earliest.In this war, Liu Zongmin's authority is no longer the general post, but a general.

He will serve as a front army.

Li Laiheng took the place of King Chuang and fought a difficult defense battle.Hastily responding to the battle, the disparity in strength, and more importantly, an unprecedented battle must be commanded by a counterfeit.

After entering the old camp, Li Shuangxi anxiously greeted him.

"Is there any major military situation? Are the officers and soldiers about to invade?" Li Shuangxi asked.He has already received the military report for the meeting, and the general order issued by Li Laiheng in the name of King Chuang has reached the hands of the generals.

Li Laiheng's intelligence system played a role.

"The enemy will attack tomorrow morning. The enemy who attacked the old camp may arrive tonight." Li Laiheng replied.

At this time, the military intelligence report issued by his intelligence personnel also arrived.

"I received them one after another just now." A middle-aged man whom Li Shuangxi didn't know came in and said to Li Laiheng.He is an important person responsible for Li Laiheng's intelligence work. He has no name or surname in Chuang Wang's army. He only has a code name: "Old Nine."

He did not follow Li Laiheng on the eastward expedition. He was responsible for intelligence collection and order issuance in various places.

Li Laiheng took over the compiled information from "Old Nine" and read it carefully.

The first letter: In the north, the officers and soldiers of Hotan have been dispatched and are moving closer to our position. We can reach the forward position tonight.The number of people is [-], and the follow-up troops are gathering.

The second letter: In the east, 2000 officers and soldiers from Shangzhou are missing, and whether they are secretly going west is being verified.The third letter is still from Shangzhou: A large group of troops suddenly appeared in Songjiazhai, the number of which was no less than [-]. Songjiazhai had already rebelled. From the analysis of the troop movements that appeared, they seemed to be just passing by. Please be careful to guard against sneak attacks.

The fourth letter: A large number of troops have assembled in the direction of Wuguan in the south, and there are signs of attacking Baiyangdian.

It's obvious.The day of the general offensive is tomorrow.

Tonight, the prelude to the general attack will be a sneak attack on the old camp by two thousand elites.Simultaneous attack from three directions tomorrow.
