Fenghou

Han Chang ran towards the enemy camp with doubts in his heart, but after running less than a mile, a soldier ran back to report, "General Qi, the camp of the Song Army is empty!"

"not good!"

Han Chang finally understood that Song Jun must have retreated.

He immediately sent someone back to report, and shouted to the soldiers: "All soldiers follow me!"

He led thousands of soldiers towards the gate of the camp. Just as he arrived at the gate of the camp, he saw the flames of his barracks rising into the sky and the sound of killing.

This time, even Han Chang was deceived, he shouted anxiously: "Quickly report to Du Tong, the Song army has sneaked into the camp!"

Chapter 139 Proposal

The Jinbing camp still had a lot of supplies. In addition to food and armor, there were thousands of horses. The [-] Jurchen soldiers had not yet been organized and had no horses. They were killed by the [-] cavalry led by Chen Qing, and they scattered and fled. , They ignited Jinbing's forage camp, and the fire took advantage of the wind to turn the Jinbing camp into a sea of ​​flames.

Chen Qing didn't stay for long, and immediately drove thousands of horses towards the east. As soon as Chen Qinghe's subordinates left, the head of ten thousand, Se Muda, rushed to the camp with [-] troops. There was chaos in the camp, and Seto When Mu Da heard that the general of the Song Army had withdrawn eastward with his horses, he immediately shouted without hesitation, "Follow me!"

He led [-] cavalry to rush eastward along the small river...

The Jin soldiers have arrived at the camp one after another. Wanyan Alupu's face is extremely ugly. He already knows that there is only one empty camp left in Jiwangpo. There are more than 1 people, but Chen Qing ran away without even getting a fart. How can he explain to the fourth prince?

He yelled at the generals, and at this moment, there was a faint sound of rumbling explosions from the east.

All the generals looked at each other, and Han Chang said urgently, "I'm afraid General Semuda is in trouble."

"Damn Chen Qing, I must cut him into pieces with my own hands!"

Wanyan Alupu gritted his teeth with hatred, and said to Wan Yantuo, chief ten thousand, "You lead two thousand brothers to guard the camp for me. The remaining fire is extinguished, and the food and supplies are clearly counted. The rest of the army mount their horses and follow me to meet Seki General Da."

The [-] troops got on their horses one after another, followed the general Wanyan Alupu and swept away to the east.

Chen Qing responded immediately, and used more than 100 barrels of gunpowder mixed with poisonous nails to kill and wound more than a thousand of Semuta's pursuers. When the enemy army was in chaos, he led his cavalry to turn south again. Run as far south as you can, then turn back and sprint west through the woods.

The five hundred soldiers rode on two horses, ensuring their speed and horse strength, and galloped all the way. After running for more than [-] miles, they passed by the main force of the [-] golden soldiers, and returned to Jiwangpo not long after.

The Jiwangpo Camp has no enemy troops, it is deserted, only a little embers of fire are still burning on the hillside, and even dozens of sentinel cavalry deployed under the hillside have also been withdrawn. The feeling of taking tea to cool down.

Although the Jinbing barracks seemed to have another chance, Chen Qing restrained himself. He and the soldiers left Jiwangpo quickly without stopping, and rushed westward under the cover of night, before disappearing in the night.

From the beginning to the end, Jin Bing thought that Chen Qing led his army back to Dasan Pass, and even Wanyan Wushu believed in it.

……

When it was almost dawn, Chen Qing caught up with the resting main force at the entrance of Xigu Valley, and everyone heaved a long sigh of relief when the commander returned.

Liu Cui stepped forward and said, "Commander Qi, my father wants to see you."

Chen Qing nodded, he first wrote a Ying letter and asked Xin Ying to send it back to Dasanguan before coming to see Liu Ziyu.

Liu Ziyu was lying on the ground, with more than a dozen guards guarding him. It could be seen that his complexion was very bad. Last night, the guards rode his horse on their backs, bumping all the way, and the wound was a little serious.

"How does Liu Dutong feel?" Chen Qing squatted down and asked.

Liu Ziyu gave a thumbs up and praised: "Last night, the commander's withdrawal was very beautiful. He deceived tens of thousands of golden soldiers, and the whole army retreated safely. I have to accept it."

Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "It's actually a fluke. If Jin Bing deploys an army at the bottom of the slope, I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly."

"It's not a fluke, it's because you killed too many Jin soldiers, which caused their strength to be tight, so you didn't deploy troops down the hillside, it's God's will!"

Liu Ziyu sighed with emotion, and asked again: "I heard from Quanzi that the commander is going to Qinzhou?"

Chen Qing nodded, "Since I am the envoy of Qinzhou, I naturally want to seize Qinzhou!"

Liu Ziyu pondered for a moment and said: "In fact, capturing Qinzhou can take a while, but I think the commander can take advantage of the opportunity of the Jin soldiers to attack Dashan Pass with all their strength, toss around behind the Jin soldiers, relieve the pressure of Dashan Pass, and finally finish the battle." Wushu couldn't attack the Dasan Pass and had to retreat, the leadership deserved it!"

Liu Ziyu's suggestion opened a window for Chen Qing's eyes, making his eyes brighten.

Chen Qing nodded and said with a smile: "I will definitely consider Dutong's suggestion carefully. The top priority is to send Dutong and the wounded soldiers back to Immortal Pass."

"Thank you, Commander. This time, my life was saved by the Commander. There is no repayment. Take the rest of the army commanders away!"

……

After resting for an hour, the army continued to march westward and arrived at Xianrenguan at noon the next day. Liu Zan heard that his father was injured, so he personally took the carriage ten miles away to meet his father, met Chen Qing again, and led the army to Xianrenguan rest.

On the head of Xianrenguan City, Liu Zan said to his brother Liu Cui, "I also need people here, why don't you stay and help me?"

Liu Cui laughed and said, "It's my father's intention to let me follow Commander Chen. Of course I have to listen to my father's arrangement!"

"Don't pretend to be mean in front of me, father said to respect your choice!"

Liu Cui smiled wryly and said, "Brother, why should you make things difficult for me?"

Liu Zan was silent, and asked for a while, "Why did you choose to follow him?"

"There are many reasons. It is said that he is wise, brave, and decisive, that he has clear rewards and punishments, and that he leads troops well. These are not the real reasons. I am willing to follow him. In fact, there is only one reason. He did not abandon a wounded soldier when he retreated. A lowly groom was injured, but he didn't leave him behind. In order to let the wounded soldiers retreat safely, he would rather lead the army to take risks. Although these are small things, no one mentions them, but all the soldiers see them. including me."

Liu Zan nodded, "I understand, I respect your choice, no matter what, he saved his father's life this time, and I will definitely repay him in the future."

"How does daddy arrange it?" Liu Cui asked.

"I specifically asked the military doctor. The military doctor said that my father's tendons were seriously injured, and the poison in his internal organs was hard to cure. I am afraid that he will not be able to use weapons for the rest of his life. In fact, this is also a good thing. Father can stay away from the battlefield. I plan to let him go to Xianrenguan first Heal the broken bones, and then send him to Chengdu for recuperation, try to clean up the residual poison in his body, it happens that the elder brother is also in Chengdu, he can take good care of his father."

……

At the same moment when the Liu brothers were talking, Chen Qing was also thinking about his next move in the big tent.

Liu Ziyu's suggestion was like a guiding light, which made Chen Qing's eyes suddenly clear, and he knew what he should do next.

It's early winter now, the river has frozen, and it was still thin ice a few days ago, but the ice layer of the river has been very thick these two days, and it will snow soon, and the Song and Jin armies will be at the Dashan Pass. A state of confrontation is conducive to one's own actions.

"Yuanqing, what do you think?" Chen Qing asked Yang Yuanqing next to him.

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly and said, "We should bring 500 people!"

Chen Qing said with a smile: "The wounded soldier stays to recuperate, I have already discussed with Liu Zan."

"In this case, we will have [-] more horses. These [-] horses can support tents, food supplies, etc., and it will soon enter winter. We will spend most of our time in the wilderness, and the logistical conditions need to be strengthened."

Chen Qing nodded, "This plan is good and can be adopted. Where is Fatty Zheng?"

Chen Qing glanced at Zheng Ping.

Zheng Ping grinned, "I only come up with bad ideas, how can I find a good way?"

"Then tell me about your bad idea!"

Zheng Ping scratched his head and said: "My idea is to keep a low profile, don't let Wanyan Wushu pay attention to us, we will pretend to be Liu Ziyu's generals, or give us random names, such as Yang Qing, Ma Qing, Niu Qing, that's what I mean , as long as they are unknown juniors, our risk will be much smaller."

Chen Qing smiled slightly, "Niu Qing and Ma Qing don't sound good, so let's call them Yang Qing!"

Early the next morning, Chen Qing led [-] cavalry to leave Xianrenguan and head north, disappearing into the vast mountains.

1 Chapter Forty

The main force of the Song army retreated to Dashan Pass. After Wanyan Wushu occupied Monk Yuan, the army continued to advance, approaching the city of Dashan Pass, and set up a camp a few miles away from Dashan Pass. The [-] troops stared at Dashan Pass .

Outside King Jin Bing's tent, four ten thousand commanders including Wanyan Alupu, Han Chang, Wanyan Tuo, and Semuta were pushed down by soldiers and executed. Each of them was beaten with a hundred army sticks. Flesh flew all over his butt.

If it wasn't for all the generals begging for mercy, Wanyan Wushu would kill Wanyan Alupu with his own hands today. Wanyan Alupu has always been vague about the loss of troops. Lu Dajun actually had only 3000 people left.

This also includes 8000 wounded soldiers, that is to say, there are only 3 troops left to fight, 1 casualties, and more than [-] Jurchen soldiers died in battle alone.

But the opponent only had 8000 people, and in the end Chen Qing led 3000 people and managed to evacuate. How could Wanyan Wushu not be furious. Where is Chen Qing's head?

At this time, Fan Gong, Wanyan Wushu's counselor, stepped forward to persuade him: "Without the hard work of the West Route Army, the King's soldiers would not have come to Dasan Pass today. It is already a great punishment to beat a hundred army sticks." Now, Your Majesty, don't criticize them any more."

Wanyan Wushu said sullenly: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. How can there be no casualties in a war? I'm not angry because of this, but because I gave up the chance to wipe out Wu Jie, and I want to get Chen Qing's head. I didn't expect In the end, he ran away and withdrew the troops calmly. Didn't I lose both ends?

If I knew what to do with Chen Qing, the army would directly attack Wu Jie from the north and the south. As long as Wu Jie is defeated, the Dasan Pass will be won, and we can send troops to Hanzhong and march into Bashu. I have lost this golden opportunity for nothing. I hate it what! "

Fan Gong's heart is like a mirror, and Wanyan Alupu can't be blamed for this incident. Wanyan Alupu faithfully fulfilled the military order of the fourth prince, but Chen Qing was not caught.

The real mistake was the fourth prince himself. He was too conservative and took Chen Qing too seriously, which caused Jin Bing to lose this good opportunity and was withdrawn from the Dasan Pass by the Wu rank army. Now the fourth prince is just shirking responsibility and taking Wanyan Alupu just came to vent the anger in his heart.

Although Fan Gong understood, he didn't dare to mention this matter, so he persuaded vaguely: "The matter has come to this point, as long as the fourth prince can win the Dasan Pass, the final result will be the same. I believe we will win this battle!"

Master Wanyanwu let out a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Sir, you are right, as long as you win the Great Sanguan, the final result will still be the same. I have prepared for a full year, and the monk has already captured it. I don't believe it." This time I can't win the big break."

At this time, a sergeant came into the account and reported, "Report to the fourth prince, the execution has been completed!"

Wanyan Wushu waved his hand, "Let them recover from their injuries, and promote Xiao Zong to be the commander of the West Route Army, and remove Wanyan Alupu from the post of commander of the West Route Army!"

The messenger left, Wanyan Wushu looked at the map and said, "It's [-] miles from Weinan Camp to Dasan Pass, and we have to go through the complex terrain of Monk Yuan. To be honest, I'm very worried about Weinan Camp and the food and grass along the way. The safety of material transportation."

Fan Gong smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, why doesn't Your Majesty let the West Route Army be responsible for the security of the Weinan camp and logistics and transportation?"

Wanyan Wushu thought for a while and said happily: "That's fine, it's decided like this!"

……

Dashan Pass has been known as the throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi since ancient times, and it is a must-fighting place for military strategists. There are many mountains in this area, and the ancient trees are lush. The peaks on both sides are like crouching cows and galloping horses. , under the Dasan Mountains, the branch of the Fang River flowing from the West Valley is gathered here by many streams, grows again, rushes swiftly, and is renamed the Qingjiang River, providing sufficient water for tens of thousands of soldiers in the Dasan Pass .

The city wall of Dasan Pass is two miles long, with cliffs on both sides. The city wall is three feet high and built with large bluestones.

Light snow fell in the sky. The weather has been abnormal in the past two years. Last winter was half a month later than usual, but this winter came earlier. It was only late November, and the first snow came.

Wu Jie stood at the top of the city and looked up at Xiaoxue in the sky. Liu Kai stepped forward and said with a smile, "Will the golden soldiers attack the city on a snowy night?"

Wu Jie shook his head, "Wanyan Wushu has been preparing for a year, and he will not be in a hurry for this moment. Unless you attack the city on a snowy night, you will lose nine out of ten battles. He is not a risk-taker, otherwise our escape route would have been cut off long ago."

Liu Qi smiled and said, "I heard that Dutong received Liu Ziyu's eagle letter?"

Wu Jie nodded, "Sent from Immortal Pass. He is recuperating in Immortal Pass. Liu Dutong's injury is serious this time. His collarbone is broken, his tendons are injured, and he was hit by a poisonous arrow."

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Kai asked, "Did Chen Qing be mentioned in the letter?"

Wu Jie smiled slightly, "Why didn't you mention it? He wrote to me to talk about Chen Qing's situation. Chen Qing led [-] cavalry to go north, and it is estimated that Xihe Road and Shaanxi Road will be turned upside down. These are the original words in the letter, but I think Chen Qing is a surprise soldier on the periphery."

"The humble job is also the same idea. If Chen Qing's army can cooperate with us, the possibility of our victory in this battle will be greatly increased."

Wu Jie leaned on the battlements, looked at the gray sky, and smiled for a long time, "Do you know what Wang Yan said about Chen Qing?"

"Humble job would like to hear about it!"

"Wang Yan said that this person has clear grievances and grievances. He will repay those who have benefactors, but he will repay those who have enmity for ten years. Wang Yan also praised him for his insight into the current situation and never absent at critical moments , so I'm not worried."

"Are there no shortcomings?" Liu Qi asked again with a smile.

"Of course there are shortcomings, I know what his shortcomings are?"

"What is it?"

Wu Jie laughed but didn't answer. He remembered what Chen Qing told himself, 'Since the system has bound hands and feet, then smash it! '

This sentence left a deep impression on Wu Jie, but he didn't tell anyone, including his brother Wu Jian. Wu Jie believed that he read it right: Chen Qing has reverse scales on his back, and he will turn against him when he moves.

Liu Kai didn't wait for the answer, so he smiled wryly and said, "Now I'm worried that Chen Qing won't be able to contact us, so he won't be able to cooperate with us!"

Wu Jie smiled slightly: "This is the biggest problem. Of course he knows, don't worry! He will definitely establish contact with us. In fact, he has already established contact with us."

"What do they all refer to?"

Wu Jie said slowly: "Immortal Pass!"

……

After Chen Qing left Immortal Pass, he led the army and rushed all the way to the northeast. The next day, he arrived at Wushan Town, Longzhou.

Wushan Town is a place that Chen Qing is very familiar with. To the north of it is Jiandao Pass, where three commercial roads converge, going west to Qinzhou, north to Pingliang Mansion, and southeast to Fengxiang Mansion.

When he got here, Chen Qing had to make a decision, whether to go to Jiandao Pass and do activities in the northern area of ​​Shaanxi Road, or to enter Guanzhong, he still couldn't make up his mind for a while.

He sent someone to find Zheng Ping, and asked with a smile, "You can make a decision for me. Do you think it's better for me to go to the north, or go to Guanzhong?"

"I will definitely advise you to go north!"

"why?"

"Because Guanzhong is too dangerous. There are 10,000+ golden soldiers in Fengxiang. A fly has to be interrogated by three generations of ancestors before it can fly in. It is safe to go north. Maybe we can go into Wazi for a stroll and eat and drink all winter. , go to the brothel again, it can be regarded as a relaxation for the brothers!"

"Don't talk nonsense, be serious!"

"Want to hear something serious?"

Zheng Ping put away his hippie smile, and said solemnly: "You should go to Jiandao Pass to pay homage to the brothers who died in battle."

Chapter 141 Pingliang

Jianbai Pass has been abandoned, the city gate has disappeared without a trace, half of the city wall has completely collapsed, and the south city wall has even become a piece of ruins.

No one was seen in Guancheng, the stone dormitory where they used to live was only ruined, the ground was covered with weeds, and some foxes, snakes and other small animals appeared in the weeds.
