Chapter 1017: Design to defeat the enemy
Chapter 1017 Designing to Destroy the Enemy
Jiang Jinzong has done a lot of evil in Suzhou, and it is forbidden to investigate. So when Emperor Jinghe sent Kong Qingfeng and Nie Linjiang to Jiuquan to investigate the case, Jiang Jinzong began to make a retreat for himself.
Khitan sent someone to sneak into Jiuquan to kill Nie Linjiang, just to cut off Jiang Jinzong's retreat, forcing him to switch to Khitan. Jiang Jinzong secretly sent his family away, and he must have hidden money and food.
Because no matter whether Jiang Jinzong wanted to create war in Suzhou so that he could survive in the chaos or rebel, he must have money and food in his hand, otherwise he would not be able to control the 25,000 forbidden troops and the tens of thousands of local troops in Suzhou.
Therefore, it is certain that there is stored food.
After sending his father away, Jiang Liu turned his hands behind his back and tried to find a way around the house.
Daddy, Uncle Qiu, and elder brother, the money and food that so many of them can't find, must not be so easy to find. Jiang Liu never thought how smart she was. She was more than other people, but her experience as a human being in two lifetimes, and her vision was different from that of Da Zhou people. If you can't find it according to their ideas, then you have to try Jiang Liu's own ideas.
Three Caves of Crafty Rabbit, my brother said that Fu Chunchao might know the whereabouts of the money hidden by Jiang Jinzong, so Fu Chunchao probably did not know the whereabouts of the grain and grass.
Jiang Liu stopped at the window, staring at the small flowers blooming under the porch outside the window, thinking carefully.
also wanted to follow Qin Bai, who made suggestions, and said regretfully, "If only when Jiang Jinzong was alive, he would have opened his mouth."
Jiang Liu shook his head, "Jiang Jinzong has been cultivating in Suzhou for more than ten years, and he has a lot of minions. If he is not removed before he is prepared, it will definitely cause Zuo Wuwei's internal friction, which will seriously hurt his muscles and bones."
On the way to Suzhou City, Jiang Ling once told Jiang Liu that now Zuo Wuwei has 25,000 forbidden troops, and only half of them really obey Uncle Qiu and are forbidden by orders. That's why my father asked Long Live Speedy for reinforcements. This move was not only to defend against the enemy, but also to deter some of the half-hearted Zuo Wuwei soldiers.
Looking for money and food is more important than getting rid of Jiang Jinzong and taking back Zuo Wuwei’s commander-in-chief seal. Of course, killing Jiang Jinzong and successfully regaining the commander-in-chief is more important. The money and food were not found for a while, so the imperial court tightened his belt and sent money and food over to help.
Perhaps because of this, Father and the others did not make the search for money a top priority.
But when she comes, she must take this matter as her top priority! Jiang Liu vigorously ordered, "Qin Qing goes to the front yard to see if Qu Lun Xue is there. If he is free, please come over."
When Jiang Liu was looking for someone to inquire about the situation, Uncle Qiu, Chao Bing, Huang Li, Qi Changyao and others were in the handsome tent, discussing how to divide the troops to repel the Khitan army, and Jiang Ling, who had been running overnight, arrived at the south gate of the border city.
After Jiang Ling entered the city, Jiang Xijing, who was inspecting the defense of the city wall, hurried forward to meet him, lowered his voice and said eagerly, "Cousin is back! The Khitan army was already ten miles away, and they checked the horse and found that they were carrying ten slings and a large number of slings. Climbing the wall ladder, depending on the posture, we are planning to attack. The enemy army is 6,000 and we only have 4,000, and I plan to take the lead..."
Jiang Ling jumped off the war horse and said in a low voice, "Cousin, let's go back to the camp to discuss."
"Yes, yes, back to the camp, General Yuan is still waiting." Jiang Xijing took his cousin back to the camp to see Yuan Weidong, the fourth-rank Zhongwu general of Zuo Wuwei who was guarding the border town.
Yuan Weidong looked at Jiang Ling eagerly and asked, "Ling Sheng, can the military division have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy and give us a few thousand more troops?"
After rushing all night, Jiang Ling's voice became even more hoarse, "The Khitan army is pressing on all the way, Wen Su is in a hurry, there are tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the city of Lezhuan, and the six thousand soldiers of Zuo Xiaowei have just arrived..."
Yuan Weidong jumped up and roared, "They are all tight everywhere, so let's not take it anymore? We have 6,000 Khitan troops outside the city who are here to play? They are biological, our mother is the concubine? If not Increase the troops, our brothers are all gone, who the **** is guarding the city, who the **** is protecting the elders in the city? Who the **** is…”
Yuan Weidong, who blushed and had a thick neck, stopped, gasped for a while before lowering his voice, "You know that the military division has just taken over Zuo Wuwei, but he can't ignore us, right? If nothing else, the bones of the old general are still there. It’s buried outside the city. Even if Lao Tzu dies, he can’t let the Khitan’s hooves step over the old general’s grave!”
When his mood stabilized a little, Jiang Ling said, "Uncle, little nephew has a plan..."
"Report—" The Khitan inspector raised his voice and entered the tent, knelt down and saluted, "Report General, smoke is rising from the south of the border town!"
Yelü Guangde with a beard got up, stepped out of the tent, looked towards the border town, and sure enough, he saw billowing smoke rising from the border town.
"General, look this is..." The Khitan lieutenants were uneasy.
The burly Yelu Guangde stared at the smoke. There is no wind today, and the one who can raise such a big smoke must be...
"Report—" Another horse came on horseback, jumped off the horse and knelt down and said, "Report General! The reinforcements from the Zhou army have arrived, and the cavalry is here, and the dust should be no less than 2,000."
hiss—
The Khitan generals took a deep breath, Yelu Guangde calmly led the crowd to return to the account to discuss countermeasures. Yeruger, a counselor over fifty years old, said in a low voice, "General, is it because we leaked the news?"
"That makes sense! If the news hadn't been leaked, the Zhou army should have gone to reinforce Wen Su and Le Zhuan first!" said another lieutenant general in the battalion eagerly.
Suzhou has jurisdiction over six counties, of which Lejuan, Wensu and Biancheng are bordering the Khitan. Last month, the Khitan sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to approach Wen Su, wanting to cooperate with Jiang Jinzong, capturing Jiang Feng and forcing the Dazhou Emperor to cede land and pay for food. Who would have thought that Jiang Jinzong's waste was cut off by Jiang Feng with a single sword, so the Khitan had to make a plan and let the generals from Wen Su and Le Chuan feign attack, involving the main force of the Zhou army, and then the Khitan general Yelu Guangde led the army to win Zhou Jun defended the weakest border town.
Yelu Guangde came here this time, but did not display the commander flag, just to steal the city while the Zhou army was unprepared.
This was a good idea, but now it seems…
Yelugeri continued, "General, Qiu Jing's old man has many tricks, we have to guard against it."
Yelü Guangde frowned irritably, "Withdraw the vanguard army, don't attack the city today, and then investigate and report."
"Yes!" The generals responded resoundingly, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Sixteen years ago, the Khitan army fought with the Zuowuwei led by Ren Anhan and Qiu Jing, and suffered heavy casualties. Although the current Zuo Wuwei is not as good as before, but Qiu Jing has returned to the Zuo Wuwei, and they have to be more careful not to repeat the mistakes of 16 years ago.
"report—"
Detecting the horse and entering the commanding camp, he said loudly, "Report to General, the Khitan Vanguard Army has retreated five miles and has begun to cook rice."
Yuan Weidong's tense nerves loosened a little, "Look again and report again."
"Yes!"
After the horses retreated, Jiang Xijing was overjoyed. Yuan Weidong looked at Ren Lingsheng, who was calm and composed, with a little shame, "My nephew really has a good plan."
When received an urgent report from the border town in the Suzhou camp, Uncle Qiu and Jiang Ling were keenly aware that the Khitan army outside the border town was not easy to come by. But now Zuo Wuwei is stretched thin, unable to send reinforcements quickly.
Jiang Ling guaranteed Xiang Shang's head and issued a military order, asking the military division to send him a hundred cavalry, and he would use the hundred cavalry to design a retreat from the enemy.
Hundreds of cavalry, plus more than 30 Jiang Ling's escorts were divided into two groups. Jiang Ling brought the two people into the city first, and the others entered the city after half an hour.
The billowing smoke that the Khitan army saw was the battle created by these 130 cavalrymen.
How did one hundred and thirty men create a battle of two thousand cavalry?
That is, of course, a large bundle of twigs was tied to each horse's tail. When these war horses spread out and ran towards the south gate of the border city, they were equivalent to sweeping the streets with 130 brooms, creating a formation of 2,000 cavalry soldiers.
