Ascension

Chapter 23

Wen Liang has received Yan Siyu's order and is determined to postpone the time for the Jianghuai Army to rush to the battlefield.But he really couldn't just watch the great rivers and mountains fall into the hands of Xilu thieves, so he went around in a big circle, chasing the footsteps of Xilu army, preparing to seize the cities that were taken by Xilu one by one.The good name is to cut off the back road.

Yan Siyu laughed for a while after receiving the secret letter, and said that Wen Liang had been in the capital for a few years. He had learned a lot about policies and countermeasures. He wrote a note on the spot and presented it to the emperor in the name of Xiang Gu. It was to send troops to the emperor to "cut off the way out".

Therefore, Li Ke and Wen Liang, the chief generals of the Jianghuai Army, quarreled for three days, but in the end they couldn't hold back the gold-plated stone, and reluctantly sent troops.

Having said that, Li Ke was still half a day away from Hedu City, and Li Ke was discouraged. The messenger could not find anyone else, so Wen Liang could only be ordered to command the siege in the face of danger.

In fact, Li Ke was originally a member of Changpei Palace. He was originally lurking in the army waiting for an opportunity to assassinate generals, but he was transferred to the Jianghuai Army before he could do it.Most of the officers and soldiers of the Jianghuai Army were drawn from the local army, and there was no concept of merit-based recruitment. Naturally, the generals of the local army rushed to stuff the soldiers in their hands.Li Ke is a short man, but he has become a brave and resourceful general in the army.After the death of the former Jianghuai general, he threw money at the heads of the generals in the army like a boy who spread money, and finally got the position of the chief general of the Jianghuai army.

He knew that he was good at martial arts, but not at all good at martial arts. After Wen Liang arrived, he was critical of the new lieutenant general, and secretly handed over the power early, for fear that he would delay the military plane with random orders.

Tens of thousands of people set off from Jianghuai City, but did not go directly to Hedu City by detour. They changed their routes many times on the way, and it took more than a month to reach the outside of Hedu City.Seeing that the big flag on the wall of Hedu City had a sharp tip emerging from the horizon, Wen Liang stopped his horse and asked Dou Shabao, "It's written in the mansion newspaper, where is the Xilu Army?"

Dou Shabao became the general's messenger again. When the straightforward young man smirked, he showed sixteen teeth, eight on the top and eight on the bottom. His cheerful smile, coupled with the blood-stained armor in the gaps, was extraordinarily ferocious. : "It's Yunyan City."

Gentle and generous palms stroked the horse's neck, as if to appease: "Six cities, let them spit out one by one."

His voice was steady, and the surrounding generals who were still worried about the Jianghuai Army's weak and famous combat power heard his confident words, and their hearts couldn't help but calm down a little.

Huainan Wenliang, in the capital city, was just a smelly and hard stone in a latrine pit, but in the army, it was a sea-fixing needle.As long as he mentions his illustrious achievements in fighting against foreign races, any man with blood in his chest will give a thumbs up and praise him as a hero.

Every man has ambitions, and every man also has a heroic dream of getting fame right away.And Wen Liang's name is almost synonymous with military merit.

The army is a place that pays attention to honor. People in the Jianghuai Army are used to showing off in their own territory. After leaving Jianghuai, they dare not even declare their official positions. Under the deliberate spread of people with good intentions, it is a shame for the officials of the Jianghuai Army to report.

At first they also wanted to fight for themselves, but under the temptation of the new general's drinking day after day, they had a good life, who would want to hang their heads on their belts to fight?

In fact, although the Jianghuai army is a mob, they are all strong and middle-aged men, with [-] soldiers and horses. If they are properly dispatched, they may not be weaker than the Huainan army, which is only in the early [-]s.

The first emperor had great talent and general strategy. Since he built this mixed Jianghuai army, he was sure to use this "weak army" to restrain the Huainan army that was in the limelight back then.Former Jianghuai General Su Yan can be called a generation of ghosts. Knowing that the Huainan Army is famous for its military discipline, he simply gave up the military discipline of the Jianghuai Army. In addition to the thorns deliberately transferred by the local army, he also deliberately recruited military slaves who committed crimes and were tattooed. A group of brave and unparalleled hungry wolves emerged.

If he is given a few more years, there may be a third strong army in this dynasty that can be called the Jiangbei Army and the Huainan Army.

Unfortunately, he died and was stabbed to death by Wen Wen.

And Wen Liang, whom he regarded as his lifelong enemy, took over the Jianghuai army, which was losing its pride.

Since it is already our own army, we have to manage it according to our own standards.

Wen Liang had only been in the Jianghuai army for a few months, but he picked out five thousand elite soldiers who could still be trained, and used the methods of the Huainan army to train them until they cried.

Today, in front of the gate of Hedu City, he thought that only these 5000 of the [-] gangsters under his command could barely adapt to his fighting style, and his thick eyebrows furrowed quietly.

The most taboo on the battlefield is that the general does not know the soldier, and the soldier does not know the general.Although Wen Liang has thoroughly grasped the Jianghuai army, it is difficult to use them to fight.It's not that he is not capable enough, but that he is afraid of this kind of ruffian soldier deep in his heart.According to what I have learned these days, if Wen Liangruo let them attack back and forth, at least half of them would have to run away. Understand.

It is estimated that only a general like Su Yan who was born as a horse bandit can stretch out his hand and let the [-] monkeys jump in the palm of his hand.

It was getting dark, and Suweit let out a long sigh of relief, knowing that the army under the city would not attack the city today.His bony body was wrapped in armor heavier than himself, and when he lowered his head, the weight of the helmet almost twisted his neck.

Suweit, the guard who occupied Hedu City, was the leader of a small tribe in the western foothills.

He had a good idea, if Gut really wins all the way, his tribe is too weak to get much profit; in case the big sweat loses, one or two small cities can still be defended.At that time, the Hedu City will be given to him, and the dignified Khan will not break his promise for a barren small city.

However, he never thought that Wen Liang would ignore the splendor and prosperity in the hinterland of the dynasty, and would insist on competing with the old man's few acres of Susukida.

"Those bastards left behind by Sun Guang are still unwilling to surrender?"

"They surrendered a long time ago, but how dare you give them weapons? They all have red eyes, and they have to poke a hole for us first with a knife."

It is not without reason that Wen Liang set the Jianghuai Army's first battle at Hedu City.All those who were good at fighting in Suweit's tribe went to fight with Gut Khan, and the man left behind was named Uma, who was very skilled in martial arts, but he was too timid.He is the grandson of a respectable witch in the tribe. He was terrified by the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood when he first entered the battlefield. The eight-foot man huddled in Hedu City.

With the help of his concubine, Suweit took off his armor, stretched his old arms and legs, and almost fell to the ground with his feet limp. It was the beautiful concubine who supported him so that he would not make a fool of himself.

"Master, be careful." The thin white arms that people in Xilu would never have wrapped around the old man's waist, and the concubine's gestures and gestures carried a time-honored charm.

Uma is also a lustful and hungry ghost, but she turned a blind eye to this little concubine, and occasionally looked away in a hurry, even more polite than the old master.

"Sun Guangzhongyi, under his influence, the people in the city are unwilling to submit to us. If we kill them all, it will be the same as if we never took the city."

Suweit looked at Uma in surprise: "I've made great progress!"

Uma smiled bitterly, and said: "The patriarch should find a way to deal with those Jianghuai army, they should attack the city tomorrow."

Suweit's wrinkled old face was wrinkled, and he shook his head and said: "I have already sent people to the nearby tribes to ask for help. We still have a few thousand warriors. The Jianghuai Army is a well-known underdog. There is still hope when the reinforcements arrive. of."

"Jianghuai Army is weak, but Wen Liang is a hard bone that even a sweat can't chew. Not to mention whether other tribes will send reinforcements to die, we will hold on for a few days, and all the warriors of the tribe will die. Why should we occupy Hedu City? "Uma's growth is indeed not small, and it seems that she has a brain when she speaks.

Su Weit stared and said: "The scholar told you these again? How many times did he tell you? That man sold out his master for glory. If he can sell Sun Guang, he can sell you again at that time! No matter how reasonable his words are, it doesn't matter." I can’t believe it, who knows if it’s a spy?”

Uma became annoyed and said: "Patriarch, Wen Liang will attack the city tomorrow, why do you care what you have?"

The old man slumped against the concubine's arms, stretched out two fingers like dead branches, and said, "There are two ways, either we lead people directly to chase after the army of the Great Khan; or we stay here and hear that General Wagu I have been hunting grass valleys near here for some time, maybe people who ask for help will meet him."

"Run? Is it too late?" Uma really couldn't bear to part with the beautiful woman in Hedu City. She was as gentle as water when she was docile, and as fierce as fire when she was violated. Let him know the taste by taste, and he lost interest in seeing the women in the tribe.

"Then don't run away!" Suweite played with the concubine's soft chest, and the old eyes under Shillard's eyelids were radiant, as fierce as an old wolf, "Running to seek refuge with the Khan now will only result in being treated as cannon fodder, It's better to fight! General Wa Gu wanted to compete with Wen Liang a long time ago. He said that he wanted to fight Caogu, and the places where the horseshoe wandered were all the cities closest to Jianghuai. It's a pity that no one thought that Wen Liang would go around in circles. It was his good luck to avoid it. But the army is moving slowly, and Wa Gu wants to find out the movements of the Jianghuai army easily, maybe he is already on his way now."

The little concubine hurt from being pinched hard by his hand, she bit her cherry lips with her silver teeth, for fear of interrupting his words with her own voice.

Uma excitedly said: "How many people did General Wagu bring? Does the Great Khan know?"

Suweit raised his two fingers again, and said, "It's not a problem for [-] elite soldiers to resist [-] weak chickens from Jianghuai. As long as we can wait for him to come."

Uma's heart sank again.For the [-] army led by General Huainan, it was not easy for the tribes to defend the city. In addition, the people in the city hated Xilu deeply, and they were always looking for opportunities to make trouble.

"Or...kill Sun Guang's group of surrendered soldiers." He trembled and regretted it as soon as he opened his mouth, his face turned red, and he wished he could swallow those words back.

Sun Guang was a hero, and the hundreds of soldiers who followed him to the last moment before being ordered to surrender were even more heroes.He knew that this group of people surrendered only because of Sun Guang's order to leave the last man capable of fighting for Hedu City.He respected them as he honored the warriors of the tribe.But Uma is also from Xilu, he has to think about his own tribe.

Suweite also trembled when he heard the words, the concubine behind him seemed to be pinched by him, her charming eyes silently shed tears.

Suwei Te remembered the promise made by the Great Khan to Sun Guang, as long as the group of soldiers did not make trouble, they would not kill them.

In fact, everyone knew that it was impossible for these soldiers not to cause trouble, and it was impossible for Xilu not to kill them.

"Aren't they obedient?" He didn't know that this was the first time he asked this question. Every time he asked, he wanted to kill, but every time he got a negative answer, he couldn't bear to kill these loyal people. Cheese.

This time, without waiting for Uma's answer, he shook his head and said, "Kill them all. When two armies fight, heroes always die."

Sun Guang died.

The group of soldiers left behind by Sun Guang is about to die.

The author has something to say: After thinking about it, I am afraid that I will not be able to write Hedu and stick to it. I will set up some foreshadowing in the text first, so that Sun Guang’s name will appear a few more times. In the end, whether I can write or not depends on whether the stupid writing has improved. .
