Chapter 249 Reaching Consensus

Xiaocangshan, fight.

The leading troops of the State of Jin were in front of Xue Yu for many hours, and Chu Tianya issued a strict order not to attack. So the real women were dishonest. They sent several horses to infiltrate all parts of the Xiaocangshan camp, and implemented harassment and attack and exploration camp.

This is the first battle between the two armies. Chu Tianya asked Bai Shi to command in person.

The Rebel soldiers of all battalions and arrays relied on geographical advantages and mainly used bows and crossbows to surround and cut or annihilate the cavalry of the State of Jin. Between the mountain roads full of solid wood and deer, the Qingyunzhan infantry of the Hedong Rebel Army shuttled between the mountains and the barren grass, like ghosts, attacking the cavalry of the State of Jin in the form of guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare.

The Jin cavalry sent a total of more than 10,000 horsemen, divided into more than ten or twenty strands. If they want to pierce the defense system of Xiaocang Mountain in an all-pervasive way, they can completely find out the doorway here. Unexpectedly, they are like hares that get into the cloth bag. It is really difficult to make any achievements except for the head-on attack.

The defense of the nine palace gossip camp built by Bai Shu is indeed watertight, giving full play to the geographical advantages of the mountains to the greatest extent. Although it was a small battle, it won a complete victory. He cut down more than a thousand cavalry of the Golden Kingdom, got hundreds of horses, and captured a group of alive people.

The rest of the Jin people probably realized that the situation was not good and ran away as soon as possible. The Xiaocangshan Rebels did not catch up. When it was good, they immediately collected the troops and returned to the camp and continued to stick to it.

Just as Xiaocang Mountain was fighting local battles in all directions, Liu Ziyu led a brigade to touch the flank of the Jinguo striker. He was not in a hurry to disturb the enemy, but sent a fine scout. Relying on his familiarity with the geography, he made the situation of Jin's leading troops clear.

It turns out that the speculation of Chu Tianya and Baixu is correct. The number of the leading troops of the State of Jin is about 30,000. They use cavalry to form a copper wall and iron wall, and attract the attention and strength of Xiao Cangshan with attack and defense. The purpose is to win time and convenience for a large number of people behind them - they are building a camp!

After figuring out these details, Liu Ziyu smiled: How can you get what you want!

"Brothers, take a rest first, lurking and wait for the dark!" Liu Ziyu issued an order.

At the same time, Xuanwu and Qingwei, who was led by the hook, went out. They first touched Liu Ziyu's camp and negotiated with him so that they were responsible for responding and taking action in a timely manner. Then, the seven green guards, like the ghosts in the seven dark nights, quietly disappeared into the vast night.

"Hedong Rebel Army Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon" Liu Ziyu secretly marveled, "It is these people who dominated the success of the Zhending battle. There are not many soldiers, but the use of the method... It's not easy!"

The next day, in the outpost camp of the State of Jin, where a small battle had just been fought, the wounded soldiers were being treated and buried in the pot to make rice. The people on the rear fortifications have been busy all morning, and they are all hungry. Soon after, the food was cooked and the troops ate. Not long after, a large number of people began to have abdominal pain and vomiting. They were slightly soft and uncomfortable, and then they spit foam heavily and cramped all over.

When the mastermind, Li Ai also ate some food, and the colic in his abdomen was painful and disgusting. He complained in his heart: No, the southern army was so despicable and shameless that it was poisoned in our drinking water!!

The military doctor of Jinren quickly became an ant on a hot pot and hurriedly prepared an antidote to detoxify. Fortunately, they found that the poison had been diluted in large quantities and probably would not kill people, but the disease came like a mountain. Most of the sergeants had diseases, and the combat effectiveness of the whole army was instantly reduced. In case there is an enemy attack at this time, isn't it waiting to be killed?

Shi Liai's reaction was also fast enough. He hurriedly sent a fast horse to inform Wanyan Zonghan in the rear, asking him to send a new force to stabilize the position and prepare more stomach-washing and antidote.

With such a disturbance, many people in the rear were also poisoned. They all rely on physical strength to work. Once it is difficult to stand firmly in the poisoned station, how can they do things?

As a result, the fortification progress of the forward of the Jin Kingdom was once paralyzed. Shi Liai asked the sergeant to prepare more arrows and crossbows to guard them to prevent the Southern Army from robbing the camp. The camp where he presided over the Jin Kingdom was not chaotic, but there was already a panic. Many sergeants had to guard their posts due to the military order, but they couldn't help running and having diarrhea. Therefore, they all ran back and forth between the front and the hut in pain. Shi Li Ai looked at it, which was both angry and helpless: Chu Tianya was simply a market hit, and he dared to use any dirty means!

That night, Qingyun, who went to poison him, went back to his whole body and retreated. Many of them came back to meet Liu Ziyu again. They figured out the situation of the civil fortifications behind the Jin cavalry, reported the information to Liu Ziyu one by one, and even marked the mountain road that passed by detour. Just wait for Liu Ziyu to touch it, it's like a tiger slashing into the sheep!

"Qingwei, it's amazing!" Liu Ziyu finally saw the power of Qingwei with his own eyes. In the last battle of Zhending, he only heard about the feat of Qingwei and was doubtful from then on. But from today on, he is absolutely awed to Qingwei!

Then, with 500 tigers and 500 Khitan cavalry, he took a detour to the east and walked up the dense forest road between the Taihang Mountains, and went straight to the fortifications behind the Jinguo Pioneers!

At this time, Chu Tianya was suddenly interrogating the prisoners of the State of Jin overnight in the tent.

I have to say that the bones of these real women are still very hard, and their mouths are harder. But they fell into the hands of Chu Tianya, but there was no "preferential treatment for prisoners in the state of etiquette". The coercion and inducement to scare, and all the tortures that can be used are used. If not, they still kill one of their peers in front of several real women - kill chickens and monkeys!

Then, the prisoner finally opened his mouth. Chu Tianya finally had a direct understanding of Jin Jun, who had invaded the south before.

The coach Wanyan Zonghan, the mastermind Shi Liai, is the same "complete combination" as last year. But this time, their troops were as many as 370,000, and the number of civilian servants was close to 500,000. At present, the one sitting in the pioneer camp is the master Shi Liai. His purpose is to stop the first wave of shocks of the Southern Army, pull down the camp and gain a firm foothold, and win enough time for the assembly of the follow-up troops and the transfer of grain and fodder. In addition, Shi Liai also needs to find out the true face of the Xiaocangshan defense system, as well as the supply of logistics and food channels, and even the reality of some leading figures such as Taiyuan and Chu Tianya.

"500,000!" Hearing this word, Chu Tianya and Bai Shen, who secretly supervised the prisoner of Jurchinjamin, all took a deep breath in their hearts.

In addition, Shi Liai's intention is very clear. His pair of thief eyes are like Chu Tianya and Meng De last year, staring at the food supply line behind Xiaocang Mountain - that's the throat of 100,000 rebels!

In this way, Meng De, Zhang Xiaochun and Xiao Linglong, who are in charge of logistics in the rear, must be strictly guarded and vigilant. Shi Liai is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Who knows which inexplicable place his people and horses will come out, such as borrowing Xixia or bypassing Huanglong Valley. In case he cuts off the grain road, 100,000 troops will collapse without fighting!

"Jingqian, when Wanyan Zonghan's 500,000 horses are assembled, they will line up and step over neatly, and Xiaocang Mountain will be razed to the ground." Chu Tianya said to Bai, "What do you think?"

Bai Shu's expression was all grim before, "I don't know..."

"You are a military division, the think tank of our 100,000 brothers..." Chu Tianya looked at him seriously, "Don't you know, or don't you want to say it?"

"Lord, how can you retreat before the war? In this way, it will confuse the heart of the army and collapse without fighting!" Bai Shu said.

"Now there are only you and me here. Don't you want to talk to me from the bottom of your heart?" Chu Tianya asked.

Bai Qian sighed softly, "Xiaosheng has been determined to defend Taiyuan for a long time!" Do your best and listen to fate! ...If you can donate this blood soul to the country, you'd rather die than regret it!"

"Yes, a man is light of life and death, great righteousness, noble!" Chu Tianya said, "But have you ever thought that when we die like this, who will do the rest?"

"What's the matter?"

"Kill the golden dog and save Li Min!" Chu Tianya's eyebrows sank, "In troubled times, it's easy to die, but it's not easy to live!" It's not easy to live a valuable and meaningful life! - Is it easy for 100,000 rebels to have today's atmosphere? If it is destroyed in World War I like this, is it really what you want?

Bai Xun frowned, "What does the master think?"

"Temporarily guard Xiaocang Mountain and closely spy on the war situation in Hebei." Chu Tianya said, "The great battlefield of Zhending in Hebei is actually the turning point for the rise and fall of the two countries. If the State of Jin wins, the two wings will be encircled against the east of the river. At that time, it will be difficult for us to fly, and there will be a dead end. On the contrary, if the Song Dynasty is lucky enough to hold or win, Xiao Cangshan will stick to the end. Even if you kill the last soldier, you will never give up.

After hearing this, Bai Xun was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly. "What the lord said is quite reasonable. Just like a ship sailing on the sea, although the cabin board where we are located is intact, if the other cabin version is broken, it is also inescapable - but the question is, in case of Song Zhending's defeat, where should we go?

"When the war started, Zhang Xiaochun, the governor of Taiyuan, had ordered the people in Hedong to be removed. With the Battle of Taiyuan last year, the people fled one after another without persuasion. Chu Tianya said, "That is to say, there are not many people in Hedong now except our Hedong Volunteer Army. This is already a scorched earth battlefield. If we decide to withdraw, there are only two directions to go. One is to enter Xixia, and the other is to withdraw south and cross the Yellow River. Either go to Tokyo to meet Wang Shi, or go west to Hu prison and go straight to Luoyang Chang'an!"

Bai Xi was shocked, "The lord said that he was going to seize the city of the Song Dynasty?"

"Of course not." Chu Tianya said righteously, "Have you forgotten me? At least I am the 'General' of the Song Dynasty, and we are also the people of the court!" Whether we go to Tokyo or Guanzhong, we can't do that kind of bandit. In the final analysis, we are just trying to protect the people!"

"Going to Tokyo, you will serve the court and listen to the officials and the court; so, what about going to Guanzhong? ..." Baixu broke the casserole and asked to the end.

"Apartied in the Western Army." Chu Tianya has long been in his heart and replied decisively, "Have you forgotten that there is another Yao Gu in Taiyuan? He was born as a general of the Western Army, and there were a lot of students and officials there; there was also a kind of division, and he also had an old friend with me. We led the troops and horses to go there. Can the Western Army refuse me thousands of miles away?

"Wow..." Bai Xu sighed for a long breath, "It turns out that the master has already figured out a way out. So young boy, there is nothing more to say. According to the master's words, if you are sure to win, you will swear to be firm; if you are sure to lose, you will take one of the two ways, and our army will retreat south!"

"Okay, it's a deal!" Chu Tianya said heavily.

Finally, he reached an agreement with Bai Yu, and a big stone in Chu Tianya's heart finally landed.
