Chapter 113 Faces and Hearts Don'tmatch
Liu Yaoben put his hands on his waist and stood in the tent and said to his subordinates. After listening to Liu Yaoben's words, these young generals were a little ashamed of their panic just now, so they immediately straightened their chests, and their faces also regained their resolute expressions. One by one, they were waiting for Liu Yaoben's order.
After seeing the performance of his subordinates, Liu Yaoben's face slowed down and nodded with satisfaction, "In this case, let's do it this time. Listen to everyone..."
Before noon that day, the company commanders went down to their own companies and began to work nervously. The original fortifications built by each company in Guandaokou Village are now asked by these young generals to raise and strengthen them again. At the same time, the township barracks that followed the teaching camp were also ordered to cooperate with the teaching camp. Wood, dig ditches, and transport all kinds of materials to enhance the ability to guard here.
The new battalion of Lushi County, which was originally stationed in Lushi County, was also transferred from the city and rushed to the official Daokou to reinforce the teaching battalion, so that the strength of the Xingtian Army in the area of the garrison officer Daokou reached the scale of about 1,700 soldiers and 1,000 auxiliary soldiers.
Cao Wenyao slowly urged the war horses, looked around the surrounding terrain, and looked at the soldiers and horses passing by him, with a sneer at the corners of his mouth. This time, he was ordered to go out of Shaanxi to enter Henan to suppress bandits, which can be said to be a fat difference. Suddenly, Hong Chengchou allocated him 4,000 Shaanxi soldiers. These soldiers and horses were basically They are all elite soldiers. After giving it to him, he has soldiers in his hand. Naturally, there will be more opportunities to get rich in the future.
And the opponent he wanted to deal with this time had already sent someone to inquire before he left Tongguan. At first, he heard that even He Renlong and Zuo Guangxian were defeated in their hands. Cao Wenyao was still a little nervous, but after passing Tongguan to Hangu Pass and joining the Henan army in Shanzhou, he from the local officers and soldiers After learning the strength of the thief army in Lushi County, his heart then put it back into his stomach.
Yu Fuxiang, the garrison of Shanzhou, received an order from Wang Jiazhen from Wang Jiazhen earlier, so that he could cooperate with Cao Wenyao this time and assist Cao Wenyao from the north of Lu's County to restore Lu's County. Yu Fuxiang did not dare to neglect, so he sent a number of detailed disguises to sneak into Lu's County in Lu's County to find out the situation of the criminal Tianjun in Lu's County, and in Shaanxi Province. He was preparing to set out. In addition to the dispatch of 4,000 officers and soldiers from Shanzhou itself, Feng Yijun also sent more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to him this time. At the same time, Zhizhou of Shaanxi Province also recruited 5,000 people to go out with the army.
When he learned that there was only one barracks and a new battalion of Xing Tianjun in Lushi County, both Yu Fuxiang and Cao Wenyao were completely relieved.
They had to secretly praise Hong Chengchou's analysis of the situation. In fact, the Xing Tianjun's main focus was on the Yichuan area of Ruyang, and the main force was basically stationed in Ruyang County and the officers and soldiers under the command of Wang Jiazhen in Ruzhou formed a confrontation. Chen Bu's troops in Lu's County are indeed limited, which is also in line with Hong Chengchou's requirements. Use the superior force to defeat the wishes of Lu's County in one fell swoop.
So after the two armies joined forces in Hanguguan, Cao Wenyao immediately began to rush towards Lu's County. Although the generals under his command complained that Cao Wenyao was not considerate of his subordinates, they did not dare to say more. After all, this time it was Hong Chengchou who personally ordered them to obey Cao Wenyao's control and suppress the thieves in western Henan. Cao Wenyao However, they have the power to live and kill them, so under the supervision of Cao Wenyao, these officers and soldiers rushed in the mountains for two consecutive days. Unexpectedly, they drove out nearly a hundred miles. On April 6, Cao Wenyao led his troops to a position about ten miles away from Guandaokou Village.
Looking at the large number of officers and soldiers winding around on the mountain, Cao Wenyao couldn't help but be complacent. Although he also heard of the reputation of Xing Tianjun's good at fighting, after all, there was a huge gap between the strength between the two sides this time. The thief army obviously did not expect that they would move so much. The soldiers and horses came to attack a small Lushi County. With the strength of only 2,000 people in the thief's military area, they wanted to stop them. In Cao Wenyao's eyes, this was almost a fantasy.
So after arriving here, Cao Wenyao ordered the officers and soldiers to slow down a little. He looked at the sky and ordered the strikers to start camping on the spot and prepare to attack Lushi County tomorrow.
Along the way, I kept discovering that there were thieves and horses often haunted around the officers and troops, but Cao Wenyao did not bother to care about them. After all, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses marched, and they could not hide if they wanted to hide. What's more, the enemy situation of the thief's army was clear. No matter how they inquired about the situation, they were powerless!
So Cao Wenyao came here with such a swaggering lead. In his opinion, if the thief is a sensible person, it is time to run away quickly now. In that case, they estimate that they can still save their lives and completely crushing them here like the top of Mount Tai, which also saves his effort. He will attack Lu's county again. As long as he takes Lu's county, he will win the first prize in this battle, which is a great achievement. Looking back, he will definitely have his reward.
At this time, a fast horse rushed to Cao Wenyao at night and was stopped by the family. He quickly walked to Cao Wenyao and said loudly to Cao Wenyao, "General Cao, ten miles ahead is the entrance of the official road. The thief army has blocked our way at the entrance of the official road, and it is located in the area of the official road. A lot of ramps have been built to reject horses, deer forts and other things!"
"Oh? How about the strength of the thief's army? Cao Wenyao immediately did not ask questions about the night who came to report.
"Please forgive me. The thief's army has a lot of sentry cards around the entrance of the official road, and the little ones can't get close to the investigation. For this reason, several brothers have been damaged. The specific strength of the thief's army has not been determined yet. However, according to the villain, the strength of the thief's army is not much. Some people should be exiled on the spot, and the total strength will not be more than 3,000!" This night, he didn't accept or talk nonsense, and truthfully replied to Cao Wenyao.
Cao Wenyao waved his hand and said, "Go down! Reward him with five taels of silver tattoo! Explore again!"
"Thank you for your reward!" This night, when I didn't listen to the reward, I immediately smiled and blossomed on my face. I quickly knelt down to thank Cao Wenyao, and then got up and quickly followed Cao Wenyao's family to get the reward and leave.
Cao Wenyao rubbed his face, straightened his beard, and sneered at Yu Fuxiang, who followed him and said, "I didn't expect that Yu was guarding. The thief army heard that our army was so suppressed that it didn't escape. It seems that he planned to stop us from entering the Lu family at the entrance of the official road! What do you think?"
Yu Fuxiang frowned and grabbed the reede of the horse and replied, "Your Excellency, this thief army is said to be very brave and good at fighting. It has rarely met an opponent when he was in Shanxi earlier. I think the thief who leads the team should also be a tough general! If they don't retreat, they must just want to stop us in the Guandao entrance and wait for the main force of his thieves to come back here!"
Cao Wenyao nodded and said, "Yu Shoubei is right. I have also heard a lot of news about this thief army. They can indeed be called the strong enemies of the court at present! In the past, no one in the world paid much attention to this scorpion surnamed Xiao, and actually let this scorpion sit in Shanxi. Now it's better to let this scorpion run to your territory of Henan again as a disaster. It's a pity that you don't have many generals in Henan, so that this scorpion can sit in the west of Henan!"
Cao Wenyao's words looked down on these military generals sitting in Henan. Although Yu Fuxiang was unhappy after hearing it, there was nothing he could do. After all, Cao Wenyao had his arrogant capital. His brother Cao Wenzhao was known as the first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty. He followed Cao Wenzhao and fought a lot of big battles. His nephew Cao Changjiao was even more Known as General Xiao Cao and General Cao Wenzhao, he was also called General Cao, which made many thieves afraid. As the Cao family, Cao Wenyao looked down on their generals in Henan, which was also refusible.
So Yu Fuxiang smiled and said, "Lord Cao is right, but it was really unexpected that he went south into Henan. He thought that he just wanted to be in Shanxi. He didn't expect that he would suddenly lead his troops to cross Henan before the New Year, so that we didn't expect it at all, and this is very fierce. Not only did he forcibly take Yongning and other counties, but even the Guanning army under the command of General Cao's colleague, Mr. Zu, was defeated by him. I really didn't expect it!"
After listening to Yu Fuxiang's words, Cao Wenyao was a little flustered. He and his brother Cao Wenzhao and his nephew Cao changed into a Guan Ning army. He just satirized Yu Fuxiang and the incompetence of Henan guards. As a result, he immediately counterattacked, saying that even Zu Kuan was also defeated by the hands of the thief army. In fact, it was obvious. That is to say, if they don't make it, it doesn't mean that his surname is Cao who is better than their Henan general.
So Cao Wenyao sneered and said, "That official wants to see the strength of this thief army!" Let's see how many heads they have that are enough for me to cut! All right, that's all for today! I'm sorry to bother you to guard you. You can go down and arrange the camp. Have a good night's rest today. Tomorrow, I will take troops to the entrance of the official road to see the strength of this thief army! Humph!"
After hearing this, Yu Fuxiang immediately hugged his fist and said, "I'm obedient! I'm going to arrange a camping rest! Please wait a moment!"
Cao Wenyao waved his hand and said, "Please be on guard!"
Yu Fuxiang rushed to the front of the team, turned his head to look at Cao Wenyao, who was stationed in the center of the army, and sneered, "What a bad airs for me? No matter how powerful your brother is, won't he die at the hands of the thief? Humph! If I hadn't led the troops to cooperate with you this time, the Qin soldiers you brought would not be the opponent of the thief army! In front of me, pretending to be a big garlic, I'd like to see if Cao is really as powerful as the rumors! This thief army is not easy to meet! I don't believe that you can be better than Zu Kuan! Humph! You just go rampant first! You look good! ......”
