Chapter 164 The Sound of the Wind

However, the situation of the officers and soldiers fell in the eyes of the Xing Tianjun scouts. Several Xing Tianjun's nights were far beyond the reach of their eyes. It was convenient to see the situation of the officers and soldiers with the monoculars in their hands. The illiterate scouts immediately recorded their investigation with a small notebook, and then quickly turned over to Ma Chao. He galloped back and sent a steady stream of information from all kinds of officers and soldiers to the Xing Tianjun's camp.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian had also entered Yanggu County, and opened a huge warning curtain in the area of Yanggu County, scattering almost all the scouts at hand, waiting for Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui to bump into him.

Although they set out late, relying on the iron legs trained by the soldiers of the Xingtian army, they rushed more than 100 miles from Nanle County day and night, arrived in Yanggu County one day earlier than the officers and soldiers, and settled in the area of the Tuqi River and Jindi River in Yanggu County. At the same time, they used the Jindi of Yanggu County as In a hidden place, the people and horses are hidden in the south of the Jindi as much as possible.

(Jindi is an important barrier in Yanggu County to prevent the flooding of the Yellow River in the North China Plain since ancient times. It is also the dividing line between Henan and Shandong in later generations, a few feet above the ground, but it can be a good way to prevent the flooding of the Yellow River from flooding northward. It is said to be the embankment of the ancient Yellow River, which is also regarded as Yang. In Gu County, Xiao Tianjian is the only place where he can find Tibetan soldiers!)

When they learned that the officers and soldiers were still far away in Xin County after their arrival, Xiao Tianjian and his subordinates breathed a long sigh of relief. Anyway, they finally stopped Sun Chuanting's army here, and finally they didn't have to worry about the big fish slipping away from them.

So Xiao Tianjian immediately ordered to rest on the spot, but he ordered not to bury the pot to make rice, in case a large amount of cooking smoke rose and was found far away by the officers and soldiers at night. Therefore, the whole army ate some fried rice fried noodles, drank some clean cold water, and chewed a few pickles casually to fill their stomachs.

After a day's rest, all the soldiers and generals have recovered their physical strength and began to use the golden embankment as the defense line. They built various defensive fortifications on the spot and prepared to welcome the officers and soldiers to hit them. The golden embankment will become their front to block the officers and soldiers.

However, the news sent back by the scouts under Shi Ran and Lin Luo immediately made Xiao Tianjian feel a little embarrassed. Before the other party found their main force was there, Sun Chuanting stopped to continue to advance, making their original The plan to block them from bumping into Jindi was ruined again.

"Grandma's! How dare this Sun Chuanding is not as good as a mouse! With this courage, the court still entrusted him with a heavy responsibility to let him supervise the army? Luo Li had been impatient for a long time. As soon as he heard that the officers and soldiers stopped in the north of Yanggu County, they began to camp on the spot. They made a posture as if they were facing a big enemy and wanted to defend them, and he immediately scolded angrily.

Liu Yaoben, Li Dingguo and other junior military generals also laughed, but the big guys also looked helpless, because Luo Li said well. Sun Chuanting was indeed a little too careful. As a result, this kind of caution made the fortifications that made them work hard to repair suddenly lose their effect, and another The next time, they almost flashed their waist. Thinking about it, everyone thought that Sun Chuanting was a little immeatical, and he was indeed a little too bold.

"Alas! Isn't this all made by our Xing Tianjun! After Sun Chuanting took office last year, he led the army to fight Wei Huifu and Huaiqingfu. First, he asked Liu Dutong to block and repair it. Then Deputy Diao came to replace Liu Dutong. Then he pressed Sun Chuanting and beat him, which made Sun Chuanting lose and escape. Even Zhangde Mansion and Daming Mansion were lost to Deputy Diao Dutong. This year, Sun Chuanting It was repaired by our people! Now it has become a frightened bird. Can it be bold?" At this time, a young camp under Liu Bao said with contempt on his face.

After hearing this, the generals in the big account immediately laughed again, and disdainful expressions appeared on their faces.

Xiao Tianjian himself was also very annoyed. He set an ambush twice and wanted to give Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui a sudden blow, but this Sun Chuanting was not fooled. He was a little too careful, which made him not think in advance. As a result, he flashed his waist twice, and it felt like he had punched with full strength, but he didn't hit anyone. It hit a mass of air, which made people very uncomfortable.

But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Tianjian shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Don't underestimate this Sun Chuanting. This man is old and cunning and not so easy to deal with! His caution surprised us, which shows that this person is not easy to deal with!

At present, he must have found that something is wrong. Next, he will definitely send troops out to explore the way. In this way, we can no longer hide! In that case, let's stop hiding!

If he doesn't come, then we can go over. Anyway, fight with him openly, and we are not afraid of him! That's all! Get ready! Since this battle is going to be fought like this, there is nothing we can do! ......”

Just when Xiao Tianjian ordered to rise up and take the initiative to meet him, Sun Chuanting also had a new action. After Sun Chuanting collected the army stretching for more than 20 miles in the north of Yanggu County, he set up a series of large camps on the north of Yanggu County. First, he stabilized his position, and then sent more than 3,000 steps to ride people and horses to kill him. Under the leadership of General Ma Dazhi, as a pioneer, he traveled to the front line of the Jindi River to explore the way for his army first.

The generals under his command also don't understand much about Sun Chuanting's caution. Although Ye Buting brought back the news that there were a lot of thieves nearby, they never found a large number of thieves' soldiers and horses, not to mention that Yanggu County is not far from Jining Prefecture, and the thieves are besieging Ji. In Ningzhou, it is not strange that there is a sentry horse of the thief army here. What's more, this place is already at the border with the control area of Xing Tianjun. Xing Tianjun will not help the army of the officers and soldiers. It is normal to send sent sent sentries to Yanggu County to Yanggu County to explore. I think it is really a little too much that Sun Chuanting is so cautious. Some people secretly mocked that Sun Chuanting had been scared to death by Xing Tianjun. The whole thing is now the wind and he dares not hear a little movement.

Originally, in their opinion, after they had the help of the border troops coming down from the north, the troops reached tens of thousands of people, and the border troops were very tough. They were not as weak as last year. They were always repaired by the Xing Tianjun. Now it's time to raise their eyebrows. This time, when they went to Jiningzhou, they It's time to bring back Daming Mansion and Changde Mansion first. In this way, it's a great achievement. At worst, you can also go around Daming Mansion first to take two or three counties to strengthen their prestige. However, Sun Chuanting insisted on bypass Yanggu County, avoid the territory controlled by the Xing Tian Army, and enter Jining. This is simply to grow him. People are majestic, destroy your own spirit!

And Liu Zeqing from Jining's side these days can be said to send people to urge Sun Chuanting to hurry over every day, saying that there has been a large number of thieves around Jining, and they are about to surround Jining City. No matter how slow it is, Jining will be in danger.

However, Sun Chuanting was immediately scared to stop in Yanggu just because of such a small matter. He did not dare to speed up to rush to Jining, which made his generals look down on him a little. He felt that Sun Chuanting was just a false reputation. Why did the court have to use such a governor?

However, Sun Chuanting didn't care what his generals thought, but still asked that the troops should not move without permission when the enemy in front of him was unknown. He would rather walk slowly and never be ambushed by the thief army. For this reason, Sun Chuanting also personally recruited Wu Sangui to explain his idea. Wu Sangui couldn't wait to walk slower, preferably. It was simply not to go to Jining to play with the Xingtian thieves, so he immediately said that he was willing to follow Sun Chuanting's instructions, and it was better to be safe. For this reason, Sun Chuanting felt that although Wu Sangui, the general officer, was young, was still quite calm. For this reason, he had established some good impression on Wu Sangui.

At noon on the second day of March, Ma Dazhi, a general of the officer and army, finally arrived at the Jindi River. Near Jindi, he suddenly bumped into a Xingtian soldier horse with about a thousand people. And this encounter seemed very sudden. The people of the Xingtian army did not seem to have found Ma Dazhi in advance, who responded to the battle. In a hurry, it can almost be said that as soon as the two armies fought, Xing Tianjun's side immediately messed up. After releasing two rows of fire, although more than a dozen officers and soldiers were killed and Ma Dazhi was in a cold sweat, then the people of the Xingtian Army were in chaos and rushed along the Jindi River to Nanle County. He behaved very poorly. After chasing and killing for a while, Ma Dazhi killed more than 20 thieves and soldiers. Then he proudly stopped the soldiers and watched this group of criminal thieves flee to the other side of the Jindi River.

The proud Ma Dazhi immediately sent someone to report the victory to Sun Chuanting, saying that he led the army and encountered thousands of criminal thieves in the Jindi River. He defeated him in the first battle and beheaded him more than a hundred (most of them killed the number of people who killed the meritorious people in a nearby village when chasing the Xingtian army). He won the victory. The thief army has already The water escaped to the south bank of the Jindi River.

And he is smart and a little modestly analyzes that this thief army is not the main force of the Xingtian thief, but more like the auxiliary soldier of the Xingtian thief. The combat effectiveness is not strong, so that Sun Chuanting does not have to worry.

After Sun Chuanting got the news in the evening, he was a little relieved and decided to continue to pull out the camp and head for Jining the next morning. Although he didn't believe Ma Dazhi's words, I'm afraid that there would never be thousands of people in this group of thieves. Otherwise, with Ma Dazhi's ability, he would probably turn around and escape directly. When I came, I would never dare to have a serious war with the thief army.

If Ma Dazhi is really a great victory, and thousands of thieves will be defeated, he will not kill more than a hundred thieves. Under the 3,000-step cavalry, I'm afraid that seven or eight hundred people of the thief army will not die to the end. Ma Dazhi's words must have moisture.

But in this way, it can also explain the reason why the number of sentry rides of Xingtian thieves is found in this area. It seems that Xingtian thieves have indeed paid attention to Yanggu County, which also dispels Sun Chuanting a lot of concerns.

But what Sun Chuanding didn't know was that more than 20,000 elite people of the Xingtian Army were hiding in the Tuxi River in the west of Yanggu County. When Ma Dazhi led his troops to the Jindi River, the Xing Tianjun only advanced by about an hour and evacuated the Jindi area, and It turned out that the fortifications they dug were landfilled and camouflaged. Although they did it very hastily and rough, if you pay a little attention to it, you should find that there was a large army stationed in this area, but the general Ma Dazhi only cared about leading troops to chase the "broken soldiers" of the Xingtian Army and did not pay attention to the surrounding Jindi at all. The traces of the line, so this situation was actually fooled by Xing Tianjun.

Luo Li lay on the embankment of the Tuqi River. The war horse bowed its head and gnawed at the tender green grass that had just grown on the river embankment, and snorted from time to time. Xu Yixian, who was once a military mercenary of Zhang Xianzhong, was also dressed in light armor. He changed his previous Confucian dress, sat next to him and wiped his waist. Knife.

"I said Counselor Xu! Tell me what kind of play the marshal is singing this time! Well, since the dog official surnamed Sun is not fooled, let's go straight to him. With more than 20,000 of us, we can't believe that we can't beat the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers brought by dog officials! He Kulaizai let so many of our brothers run like grandchildren these days. They didn't fight a battle, but they were so tired that they were about to pee! You told me! Why is this? Luo Li lay down and asked Xu Yixian.

Since Xu Yixian turned to Xing Tianjun, he has been assigned to Luo Li's command as Luo Li's staff officer. During this period, he has been staying with Luo Li. Gradually, he also adapted to the style of Xing Tianjun. After changing his dress, he began to look like a soldier, but this does not affect his brain. I'm just listening. After Luo Li's question, Xu Yixian put away the shiny waist knife that had been wiped by him and hung it back to his waist after the sheath. Then he smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Luo Du! Don't you see that the general is an ordinary person? This time, the marshal seemed to be staring at Sun Chuanding, the dog official, and the Wu Sangui who came down from the north. The marshal seemed to be very careful!

During this period, the general, first of all, so many elites have come to the exhaustive plan, show the truth and falsehood, and make such a big noise in Jiningzhou. Is it just that you just want to defeat Sun Chuanding and these border troops? Xu thought it was not that simple. If we want to defeat these northern border troops with our current strength, it is not difficult!

The general is going to fight a war of annihilation. If Xu's expectation is good, the general wants the life of Sun Chuanting or Wu Sangui!

This time, the marshal was actually very annoyed. I don't know if the general saw it. At first, he said that he would not fight head-on, but at night, he changed his mind and still wanted to win. In short, he still wanted to fight this battle and destroy this army! It was not until dawn that we pulled out the camp and asked us to retreat here to hide!

If you think about it carefully, you can understand what the general is thinking. If our troops face the enemy head-on, we may be able to defeat Sun Chuanting, an army of officers and soldiers, but if we want to annihilate them, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. If we don't send out strange soldiers, this possibility is almost impossible. Yes! This is also the reason why the general has to take so many elite people and act so carefully!"

Luo Lihu sat up, looked at Xu Yixian, grinned, and nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Xu is really powerful. After all, he is more careless than us! It seems that the general is really thinking so this time! What a great appetite! This is an army of nearly 40,000! The marshal actually wants to eat it in one bite, hey hey! It seems that there is another good show this time! However, it's not a way to hide like this. When will it be? It's still a good fight! Otherwise, before the war starts, our soldiers will run away!"

Xu Yixian looked at the clear water of the river, greeted his subordinates, unfolded a map, looked down for a while, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it won't take a day to fight this battle!" As long as a man is blocked here, I'm afraid it's not impossible to destroy Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui!"

After hearing this, Luo Li immediately stretched out his head and looked at the map...

(Today, I present a big chapter. Be happy! Ha ha!)
