The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 10: The account is still singing and dancing
On October 6, the seventh year of Longsheng, the leader of Xuzhou Daying, Pei Yun, went south from Bian and Si, and attacked Sikou.
——"Zizhitongjian·Yongji San"
October 5, the night in Chuzhou Daying, Huaidong, was dark, but in the Chinese Army’s tent there were singing and laughing, singing and dancing rose to peace, and Luo Lou, the main general of Huaidong in Southern Chu, really feasted with the generals, inside the tent, More than a dozen dancers are dancing gracefully, their graceful dances, light gauze, and the faintly exposed white skin make the drunken generals and the sergeants outside the tents look dumbfounded and salivate. Sitting at the top, Luo Louzhen hugged two beautiful girls of sixteen or seventeen. They raised their heads and laughed from time to time. The two girls were smiling and pouring wine and vegetables for him. From time to time, a girl would use red. Luo Lou really didn't refuse the wine, and he was drunk to beat the dance music. Few people could notice. In fact, his gaze only occasionally passed on the dancers. Luo Louzhen has no interest in these women who are free to pick, and his attention is mostly on those generals. Several high-ranking generals were accompanied by gorgeous girls, and those middle and low-ranking generals were all focused on those gorgeous dancers. Luo Lou really smiled triumphantly. He has a handsome appearance and high martial skills. The only thing he does not possess is the talents in military strategy. After receiving the support of Shang Weijun to move three times a day and take charge of the Chuzhou camp, in order to consolidate In the position of power, he gave up a lot of thoughts and used money and beauty to win over those proud and powerful generals, and those truly talented generals were squeezed out by him, so as not to endanger his status. Relying on the beauty of money and the military power in his hands, the Chuzhou camp is also monolithic, at least raging in Huaidong, no one can stop it.
Luo Louzhen was a little self-aware at the beginning, knowing that if he had too little foundation compared with the Lu family of generations, he knew that Shang Weijun wanted to support him against the Lu family, but he never dared to really offend him. Apart from that, the Lu family only firmly controlled Huaidong and obeyed Shang Weijun. Shang Weijun also knew that the Lu family should not be taken lightly, so Luo Lou was really good at living in Huaidong. As for Da Yong’s threat, he had been in his heart, but there was no movement in seven or eight years. In addition, he was surrounded by villains who were good at flattering. He had already floated. Basically, he had forgotten the power of Da Yong’s iron cavalry. .
Just as Luo Lou really felt a little exhausted, a soldier hurried in and said: "Teach me to General, General Lu has a letter."
Luo Lou really lazily said: "What can be done? Let the messenger come in."
The soldiers hesitated to glance at the corrupted scene in the big tent, and did not dare to raise any objections. General Lu Can is the highest-ranking general in Southern Chu, and Luo Louzhen is so ignorant of his messenger, which is indeed a bit rude. Besides, I heard that the general ruled the army extremely strictly. It would not be appropriate to show such a scene to the messenger, but the soldier knew that if he said it, he would probably be punished by Luo Louzhen, so he had to take his order. Introduce the messenger.
After a while, the messenger strode in and saw the scene in the tent. It was a chill in his eyes. He gave a military salute and said: "Final General Lu Qun, sent a letter by the general's order, ask General Luo to check it. ." A young sergeant who came in behind him did not move and saluted.
Luo Louzhen waved his hand, and a soldier came forward to take the letter and presented it to Luo Louzhen. Luo Louzhen smiled after reading it, and said: "The general is too worried. This is not eight or nine years ago. Now our army has Jianghuai and Shuzhong, and there is also the Yangtze River natural danger. The Yongjun wants to come from like before. It is whimsical. The general’s will is led by the general. Please report back to the general. The final general was ordered by the king to take charge. Huaidong military affairs, I dare not slack in the slightest. As for what the general said in the letter, this general understands, but when it comes to reinforcements, it doesn’t need to be. The 70,000 people in Huaidong can’t cope with the Yong Army’s Offense?"
The messenger was the Lu family general. Seeing that Luo Louzhen’s words were lukewarm and despised, he couldn’t help but the fire started from his heart and had a heart attack. The young sergeant next to him gently tugged him. In the battle robe, the messenger reluctantly said: "If this is the case, please return the army to the book, and let the end take it back."
Luo Lou really impatiently said to a scribe above the banquet: "Huang Canjun, you write a letter to the general for me, and let him take it back after finishing writing." After he said that the messenger was very arrogant. rude. This time the young sergeant's complexion also changed, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Retrieving the book, the messenger and the young sergeant turned around and left the account until they left the gate, and still heard the misty music from the camp, the young sergeant coldly said: "You need to tell your father when you go back. Luo Lou really guards Huaidong, and the Yong army will surely drive in. Let Dad prepare to clean up the mess."
Lu Qun sighed and said: "Major general, rest assured, the general has already known that Luo Lou is really a human being. This time we came to pass the letter to do our best. The general will have a solution for the next thing. The major general and the soldiers will meet. Then go to Shouchun. The general Shiguan who guards Shouchun has a strict nature. The general's order requires you to arrive before the 12th. If you violate the order, I'm afraid he will hit you."
The young sergeant couldn't help his expression move slightly, restraining the urge to touch the place where he was tortured. Just after receiving the military sentence, he rode a horse for a few days, which was uncomfortable.
At this moment, Luo Louzhen walked away from the envoy in the Chuzhou camp. He was very interested. Seeing that the generals on the table were already itching, he laughed and said: "No matter, the singing and dancing have been enjoyed, and the generals have fun. Right." This is exactly what the generals have been waiting for. Seeing Luo Louzhen walked out of the account with the support of the two girls, a general who could not bear it for a long time rushed towards a dancer. When the high-ranking generals walked out of the camp with their gorgeous maids, there was a sound of lewdness in the military tent that was supposed to be dealing with military affairs.
Luo Lou returned to his sleeping tent with great satisfaction. After a hustle and bustle, he fell asleep. Just after the third shift, a soldier rushed in and said: "General, the messenger of the grandfather asks for a meeting. "Luo Lou, who woke up from his sleep, was really scared into a cold sweat. Although it is natural for people to act on the scene, if the messenger of Shang Weijun sees himself in such a mood, he will definitely go back and say a few words. The face of the grandfather, his wealth and wealth are bestowed by Shang Weijun, and he married Shang Weijun's niece, and he never dared to offend Shang Weijun. Hurriedly asked the soldiers to hide the two girls in other camps. He hurriedly washed his face with cold water and went to welcome the messenger in. However, the messenger didn't care about Luo Louzhen's scent of alcohol and the smell of rouge pollen on his body. After handing over Shang Weijun's handwriting to Luo Louzhen, he hurriedly left.
After opening the letter, Luo Louzhen only felt as if a basin of cold water was poured from his head. It clearly stated that the Yong army might have invaded Huaidong recently, so that he could securely defend Huaisikou, not to fight, and retreat.
In fact, when Shang Weijun wrote this letter, he still didn’t think that the Yong Army would make a large-scale southern expedition. In the past seven years, the Yong Army has been standing on its own feet, giving Shang Weijun the illusion. According to Jianghuai Jingxiang, the central Shu defense line It is also solid, and with the backing of the Yangtze River, compared to the sudden countless nights of that year, Shang Weijun now fully believes that the 400,000 army of Southern Chu can save half of the Jiangnan, and he dare not have the idea of going north to the Central Plains, but Da Yong The idea that it is definitely difficult to go south is deeply ingrained. Not only him but also Jianye officials are mostly unsuspecting. Because Shang Weijun not only disagrees with Lu Can's letter, but even dislikes it.
A few days ago, Lu Yun's disappearance for many days had already been discovered by Shang Weijun, and even Shang Weijun knew more of what Lu Yun had done in Chang'an. He had intended to take the opportunity to threaten Lu Can and further seize military power. But his confidantes persuaded him that there is no conclusive evidence for this matter, and it is better to put it aside for the time being and wait until he obtains the evidence of Lu's collaborating with the enemy. But if it weren't for Lu Can to stay deep in Jiangxia Camp, he could barely step out, and he would not say anything about the Southern Chu Dynasty's politics, and even Lu Yun would be sent directly to the camp. Shang Weijun would definitely write about it.
In Shang Weijun’s view, since the Lu family and Chang’an have secretly communicated with each other, if Dayong really intends to march south this year, the two confidants of Lu Yun and Lu Can will never be safe from Chang’an. When he returns, he will save others by oneself, even if he will leave Lu Yun to threaten his father, so Lu Can's alarmist talk is mostly for fighting for military power. Even now, the Yong army is attacking at Jiameng Pass. From Shang Weijun’s point of view, it is nothing more than a deterrent. After all, the issue of tribute has really lost the face of Da Yong, and it is different from Jianghuai Jingxiang, where Jiameng Pass has been there over the years. Although there was no big battle, it was not very peaceful. Besides, maybe Yu Myanmar had given Lu Can's order to fake military information. Even if it was not, with Jia Mengguan's natural danger, could he still not stop the Yong army? What's more, now the main force of the Southern Chu army, 30,000 people under Jiamengguan Yumian and 50,000 people under Xiangyang Rongyuan, plus 60,000 each from Jiangxia Daying and Jiujiang Daying, a total of 200,000 are directly in Lu Can. Under the control, although the Huaixi 50,000 defenders were not under Lu Can's jurisdiction in name, the main general Shi Guan was a general promoted by Lu Xin. He had always respected Lumen. He was Jianye’s 100,000 forbidden troops, including 40,000 forbidden troops. Leaning towards Lu Can, the remaining 60,000 forbidden troops are not strong enough. Without the 70,000 troops of Huaidong, it would not be impossible to change the dynasty.
However, just to be cautious, Shang Weijun still wrote a letter to Luo Louzhen. After all, it is good to be prepared and not troublesome. With the geographical advantage of Huaisikou, if the Yong army really attacked Huaidong, the Yong army’s offensive would be blocked. It shouldn't be a problem. He also specially reminded Luo Louzhen that if he defeats the Yong army, he can't pursue it, so as not to anger the Yong army and provoke the entire army to attack. It is a victory and a defeat.
Shang Weijun’s original intention Luo Lou really didn’t know, on the contrary, because he knew a little about Lu Can’s skills, coupled with Shang Weijun’s power, he immediately believed the news that the Yong Army might march south. He thought for a while, Da Yong Huainan Jiedu sent Pei Yun to Xuzhou, originally aimed at Huaidong more, from Xuzhou Shunbian, Si, bear the brunt of his own Chuzhou camp. Thinking of this, he angrily said: "The general's letter, where did you drop it, bring it to me quickly."
Some soldiers hurriedly submitted the letter that Luo Louzhen had abandoned. Luo Louzhen tremblingly opened the letter, and soon saw the paragraph he cared about the most. The original cliché became a piece of gold and stone.
"The Huaihe River must be guarded first. The Huaidong is represented by Chuzhou, Sizhou, and Guangling, which can cover Yangzhou and Liyang. If the two places are lost, the construction industry will be in danger. General Daying Town Chuzhou, Beiying In the town of Sizhou and Guangling in Nanying town, Huaisikou is already worry-free. Only Sikou is the key point for Surabaya to enter Huaihe River. On the side of Chuzhou, the Yongjun army will go south. If you don’t pass through Sikou, you can’t invade. Chuzhou. If the general listens to what I say, he will lay down his troops in Sikou, which can slightly protect Huaidong."
Looking at the letter, Luo Louzhen shouted: "Immediately raise the account, raise the account, this general will transfer troops."
The guards were surprised: "The general, Vice-General Zhou, Huang Canjun, and the generals are all drunk."
Luo Lou really frustrated his hand anxiously, cursing heartily, but he also knew that he was the culprit. After thinking for a while, he said: "Go to Sun Ding." The soldiers were stunned. Luo Lou really was already one. The feet lifted him out of the bed, and said loudly: "Don't hurry." The soldier crawled away. That Sun Ding was originally a talented general. Only because of his upright temperament, he repeatedly offended Luo Louzhen. Luo Louzhen dismissed him as a school lieutenant. However, Luo Louzhen still had some vision after all. Knowing the talent of this person, he always He didn't expel him from the Huaidong Army, but he just ignored him, and sometimes even gave some comfort. At this critical juncture, he naturally thought of this person.
After a short while, Sun Ding entered. This person is less than 30 years old. He looks magnificent and does not resemble a figure from the south of the Yangtze River. He has only been in Huaidong for a few years and is depressed, so he looks cold and enters the tent. He turned a blind eye to the aroma of wine on Luo Louzhen's body, and bowed and said: "Sun Ding knocks on the general, please give orders to the general."
Luo Louzhen forced a calm tunnel: "This general gives you five thousand people. You immediately lead your army to Sikou, take over the defense there, and beware of the invasion of the Yong army."
Sun Ding was taken aback. He was a captain and could only lead a thousand people. How could Luo Louzhen give him five thousand?
Luo Louzhen said again: "The matter is urgent. This general will be promoted to your partial general for the time being. After we find out what the Yong army is doing, this general will report to the court and let you match your name and reality."
Sun Ding understood in his heart that it was the Yong army who had made a move. Luo Lou really thought of himself when no one was in the battle, but he didn't mind. If there is a chance to make a battle, why not do it? Although Luo Louzhen was jealous and jealous of the virtuous, he did have some good points. He had taken away his military exploits. At least he couldn't escape the position of the general. Therefore, Sun Ding immediately took the command and ordered five thousand sergeants out of the camp. There was one battalion of these five thousand sergeants who were self-directed. He had always trained strictly, and the other four battalions were barely able to use them. There was no cavalry in the Chuzhou camp. With five thousand people, Ma Pixing Daiyue went to Sikou. Because Luo Lou was really negligent in Sikou, only five hundred people were stationed. If the Yong army invaded, there would be no possibility of defending. Sun Ding thought of this place and hurried to Sikou.
Near Sikou, you can already see the southern Chu army’s garrison barracks here. It was at dawn, and it was dim. Sun Ding ordered his soldiers to inform the captain of the Sikou garrison and saw that the soldiers were camped. The sergeant who was patrolling the night watch stopped the questioning, and Sun Ding frowned suddenly, doubting in his heart. Originally, if it were a garrison, it would be most reasonable to have sergeants to patrol the night, but Sun Ding knows that Hu Duwei, who is guarding Sikou now, is a greedy and fearful man. The military discipline is very loose. If it is not for Sikou, it is easier to promote the military. And for seven years, Dayong has never done anything. This person would never come to this dangerous place. If it were his camp, with his own confidant ability, I am afraid that no one would find out when he walked to the camp gate. Looking not far away at Surabaya and Huaishui, and then at the silent camp, Sun Ding suddenly had a weird idea. He gently sent an order to let the sergeants arrange their armor and blades, and then brought a dozen of them. An excellent martial arts guard walked slowly towards the camp gate.
Before reaching the camp gate, a handsome young man dressed in a long uniform and five or six sergeants came hurriedly, greeted Sun Ding and said, "You are Lieutenant Sun, our captain suffered the cold yesterday. Can’t get up yet, his subordinate, Tian Cheng, is ordered to come to greet Master Lieutenant."
Sun Ding's gaze fell on the young man. There was nothing wrong with his accent, costumes, and rhetoric, but he felt more and more chills. If Hu Duwei had such a talent, he would be very lucky, and this The look on the young man’s face is an arrogant and confident look. It is definitely not the numb and blank look that can be seen everywhere in the Huaidong Army. More importantly, the young man has a faint **** air. This is Sun Dingjue. Will not ignore it. He took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "In that case, please lead the way."
The young man turned around and was about to start. Sun Ding suddenly drew his sword and slashed it away. This knife was like a shock and an electric shock. It was a sneak attack from behind. Originally, the young man was extremely difficult to escape. Unexpectedly, the young man seemed to have been prepared , His body fell backwards, violently, but when his back was less than a foot away from the ground, he suddenly stopped, as if stuck on the ground diagonally. Sun Ding swung his knife and cut, and the young man's body straightened up and pulled out at the same time. The sword counterattacked, and with a blast of swords, Sun Ding was shaken back a step. The young man had already escaped the control of his sword, and the other sergeants dispersed a little, surrounding Sun Ding and a few guards.
Sun Ding sighed and said: "A good type of iron bridge is an authentic secret of Shaolin. Who is under General Pei Yunpei, the ambassador of Huainan Jiedu?"
The young man raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Since you have seen it through, I might as well say bluntly, I am Du Lingfeng in the white clothing camp, and General Pei is under the teacher."
Although Sun Ding had expected it, he still had a miserable look. The Baiyi Camp was created by Pei Yun himself. People in the rivers and lakes are often unruly and not used to military regulations and national laws. Pei Yun established the Baiyi Camp to recruit talents. Those who enter this camp are extremely lightly restrained, and they can be disarmed and returned to the field by just telling Pei Yun. If they have a heart and fame, they can also formally join the army. The people in this camp are all first-class or above, and there are only 18 people at most. Because of Pei Yun’s identity, most of them are Shaolin or other distinguished and decent children. If they show up, it means that Pei Yun is very interested in Sikou. It is inevitable to win ~ IndoMTL.com~ These people must be ordered by Pei Yun to secretly remove the Sikou defenders and prepare to take the Yong Army to the south. Sun Ding felt very bitter.
But Sun Ding was also an excellent soldier after all. He immediately figured out one thing. Since Du Lingfeng deliberately lured himself into the camp, it means that the Yong army is insufficient here, so he still has a chance to return to Sikou. Thinking of this, Sun Ding raised his arms and shouted: "Kill!"
Following his shouts, the Southern Chu army attacked the barracks. The handsome young man broke off himself and retreated to the camp. Hundreds of people came out from the barracks and lined up to greet the five thousand enemy troops. Dare to line up, Sun Ding also admired in his heart, but if they didn't leave the camp, it would be better. He only needs to surround the barracks and use fire attacks to win.
Amidst the shouts, the two armies began a **** battle. Both sides knew the importance of Sikou. No one hesitated. In this confrontation, Sun Ding couldn’t help but worry more. He was beside himself. One thousand sergeants, and the remaining four thousand are basically unfamiliar with battle formations, and their martial arts are not good enough to be of much use. Although the number is large, they cannot effectively compress the enemy formation. Although the enemy troops were few in number, they were all brave and good at fighting, and Du Lingfeng was even more brave. He killed several Nanchu warriors in a row, and the situation of the battle suddenly became cemented together. Sun Ding was worried that the reinforcements of the Yong army would be coming, so he frowned. He wanted to make a quick decision, but he was caught up instead. After thinking about it, he called out two hundred sergeants of his own battalion and let them shoot arrows at the periphery. These sergeants are familiar with water warfare, and the bows and arrows are naturally not weak. As a result, the Yong army is gradually weak, just as Sun Ding When urging the sergeants to eliminate this Yong army. The besieged Yong army suddenly cheered loudly. The shouts were getting louder and louder, as if coming from a distance. Sun Ding was startled, and when he looked up, the sky had turned pale, and he subconsciously looked at Surabaya, only the banners were flying. The boat covers the river, and the pennant on the bow is displayed, and there is a big "Pei" on it.
