Da Wei Chun

Chapter 543 Schedule
As the sun sets, the surface of the Weishui River sparkles, as if thousands of gold stars have been sprinkled on it.

The two armies, one on the south bank and the other on the north bank, both hurried along the river bank.As the army passed by, smoke and dust filled the sky, like two huge yellow dragons, one in front and one behind, following closely behind.

Just in the vicinity of Fenghuang Ridge, the terrain here is slightly slower, which is most conducive to the army's rest.Therefore, just like the agreement, both the enemy and the enemy chose this place to be stationed.

The two armies occupy both sides of the river, facing each other across the river, and no one dares to take a step forward.It seems like an old friend whom I haven't seen for many years, and I feel a little timid because of the closeness to my hometown.

Yu Zhong sat on the horse and stared at the various military flags on the opposite bank.The more he looked, the more suspicious he became.

More than Yuan bird of prey and Cui Zuchi?

Standing in the middle of the battalion, the longest banner was clearly Li Chengzhi's handsome spear.Under the big banner, there is also a Diao flag.Outside are the flags of people such as Yuan Zhi, Yuan Gui, Bing Cui Zuzhi and others.

From this point of view, even if Li Chengzhi hadn't arrived, at least it should have been Li Chengzhi's guard of honor, the right governor Diao Zheng.Therefore, these tens of thousands of cavalry should be real troops, not suspected soldiers...

While being suspicious, Yiqiyue surpassed Zhongqinwei and moved to his side.Yu Zhong looked back, but it was Fu Luo's lieutenant Murong Gao.

Just like Yu Zhong, Murong Gao looked around for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Since Li Chengzhi has not arrived, why bother to make such a fuss? Holding such a big banner in the camp will not slow down the marching speed in vain. A lot?"

Yu Zhong secretly sighed, the barbarian in his heart is indeed a barbarian, and he doesn't even understand such a simple truth?

"When Luoyang dispatched troops, Li Chengzhi went to the stage to pay homage to the general, and was even more honored by the emperor. The three talismans bestowed on him by the emperor were the tiger talisman, the golden staff, and the big banner. Therefore, as soon as the flag came out, it was like Li Chengzhi. It is the order of the emperor to be close to you... If you hold this flag and go to Wudu and Baimaguan, and then promise great benefits, how do you think about the guards and soldiers?"

Was it used to persuade them to surrender?
No wonder Chang Yizhi was so panic-stricken and sent Yu Zhong here...

"But with such a big fanfare, it may not be that Li Chengzhi is bluffing, trying to lure us to divide our troops to the west with a suspicious strategy. Therefore, the more than [-] light cavalry on the north bank should be empty soldiers: it looks like the formation is huge, but we must Most of them prepare horses, but few soldiers..."

Murong Gao still had a sliver of fantasy, "And as he wished, Chang County is waiting to send more than ten thousand armored cavalry to help, and with the Wei River blocking, we must arrive at Wudu one step ahead of the Wei army on the north bank. So Mo So what if Li Chengzhi and Emperor Wei come in person with just this empty flag?"

If this is the case, wouldn't the army trapped in the old warehouse be more like a fish swimming in a cauldron, precarious?

On the contrary, Yu Zhong hoped that Li Chengzhi was just bluffing in Chen Cang, and that this journey in front of him should be regarded as a real soldier.

There are at least two strong cities, Wudu and Baima, and the danger of the Jialing River, plus the defenders of the two cities, and more than [-] cavalry, it should be able to stop Li Chengzhi for a day or two, in order to pass through Chencang and Baoxie. The coalition forces that entered the Qinling Mountains in two ways won a respite.

Otherwise, if Li Chengzhi forcibly crossed the Weihe River from Qianyuan, Changyizhi would have no choice but to fight to the death.Until then, everything will be over...

But the way is different and they do not conspire with each other, Murong Gao naturally hopes that Li Chengzhi will send all his troops across the Wei River to fight Changyizhi as soon as possible, so as to make way for the west road so that Fuluo can escape westward as soon as possible.

Therefore, Yu Zhong was too lazy to talk to him, and just looked carefully at the enemy camp north of the bank.

Just at this time, there was another movement in Weiying.It seems that the whole body has been completed, but it is necessary to march overnight.

And just like showing off your power, every time you leave a battalion, you will first go to the shore and walk past Yu Zhong.

Seeing the continuous stream of armored cavalry one after another, Yu Zhong felt a little relieved, but Murong Gao's face was as gloomy as water.

As Murong Gao said, Wei Qi did have auxiliary horses, but at least there were two horses per rider, and far from what he expected, most of them were empty horses.

In this way, it is a certainty that this is a real soldier.And it is so urgent that they want to travel at night, it is clear that they are determined to win Wudu and Baima.

At this point, Fu Luo suddenly decided to turn to the west, taking advantage of the fierce battle between Li Chengzhi and Changyi, and the plan to leave the customs by Longshan Road has come to nothing...

Murong Gao's eyes were about to burst, he shouted sharply: "Report to your lord: the west road has been broken..."

Seeing this, Yu Zhong also confessed to the left and right: "Send Kuaiqi to report to the Marquis of Chang County, saying that Yu has made up his mind, even if he is the head of the military capital, he will also fight to the death with the Wei army... I have nothing else to ask but only wish The county marquis returned to the south safely, and he can treat Yu's family kindly..."

Hearing this, Duke Yu is already determined to live and die?
My dear heart tightened, and I promised repeatedly.

"Lord Murong, the matter has come to this point, there is no other way but to fight to the death, so let the whole army set up camp?"

Fight to the death with a bird feather?
Thinking of Wei Jun's sky thunder and all kinds of firearms, Murong Gao felt his heart tremble.

But what else?
There are Qinling Mountains in the south, Wei River in the north, powerful enemies in front, and Fuluo and Changyi in the back. He just wanted to flee without fighting, but he had nowhere to go?

Is it really as Yu Zhong said, the only way to survive now is to fight to the death?
Murong Gao hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth fiercely: "Let's set up..."

……

It was three o'clock in the middle of the night, and the lights in the yamen were still on. It seemed that it was another sleepless night!
After suffering for two days, Chang Yizhi's face was black and his eyes were bloodshot.In addition, he hadn't washed and washed well, and his half-white hair was very messy, so at first glance, Chang Yizhi seemed to have suddenly aged ten years.

The confidant brought a jar of meat soup, stepped over the threshold carefully, and quietly placed it by Chang Yizhi's hand.

Smelling the aroma, Chang Yizhi put down the map in his hand and sighed sadly: "I don't have much appetite, take it!"

With a light wave of his hand, Pei Sui dismissed his cronies.When there was no one around, he persuaded in a gentle voice: "It's almost the right time since dawn yesterday, you haven't touched a grain of rice, and you only drank a few glasses of water and wine, how can this happen?
But now, you are the backbone of the whole army. If you become ill due to overwork, this army of tens of thousands will be like a headless sheep, won't it be slaughtered by the Wei army?Therefore, even if you are not satisfied with the taste, like chewing wax, you should eat a bowl..."

Hearing this, Chang Yizhi paused, sighed, moved the porcelain jar, and stuffed a spoonful into his mouth.

I just feel that the silver spoon is not meat soup, but poison.When entering the mouth, a bitter water suddenly appeared in the mouth.The chest and abdomen are even more swollen and stuffy, so hard to swallow.

He took a few mouthfuls, but finally couldn't beat the nausea in his stomach, and Chang Yizhi vomited it out with a whoosh.In the puddle of filth that was vomited out, there were actually a few strands of blood.

Pei Sui was taken aback in horror: Could it be possible that the words became a prophecy, that Changyi's truth has become sick from overwork?
Chang Yizhi coughed repeatedly: "Say it...Say it...it's okay...It should be caused by many days of worry and depression...Yuanming should not say anything..."

"Since this is the case, you still have to support yourself? Even if you just sit here all night, what's the point?"

Pei Sui tightly grasped Chang Yizhi's sleeve, his voice trembling faintly: "Your Majesty, listen to Sui's words, and go and rest for a while. If there is an urgent report, I will call you..."

"With the safety of a hundred thousand troops at stake, how can I close my eyes?"

Chang Yizhi smiled wryly and said, "If you feel sleepy, you will dream that your son-in-law was beheaded to death by Li Chengzhi and burned to the ground. Then you will wake up suddenly, panicked and sweating profusely... so it's better not to sleep... "

In the past few days, seeing Chang Yi's calmness and composure, as firm as a rock, I only think that he has a plan in his chest and has made a plan.But I don't know, already panic to such an extent?

As if eating yellow lotus, Pei Sui was full of misery, and asked sadly: "Three years ago when Yu Zhongli was trapped by 30 Wei troops, the city was in ruins, and you were in danger. You are still as before, and you are at peace. But now it is far from Why are you worrying about such a critical moment of life and death?"

"So at the time of Zhongli, Chang had exhausted his brains and brains, devoted himself to everything, and used all means. Therefore, he had a clear conscience, and it was only natural that he lost. But now, I am dying and thinking, but I can't figure it out: Great, but in the blink of an eye, it took a turn for the worse, and it turned into a cornered beast without fighting a few times?"

Chang Yizhi's eyes were empty and lifeless, he looked at the roof and sighed: "Could it be...the sky is going to kill me, Chang Yizhi?"

"What's the matter with God?"

Pei Sui roared angrily, "You and I conquer half our lives, killing lives is useless, and the number of dead bodies is more than a hundred thousand? Now that you are in your twilight years, you actually believe in such ghosts again?"

"Okay, it's not God's will, and it has nothing to do with gods and ghosts. Where did Li Chengzhi's thunder, fire oil, and those secrets come from?"

Pei Sui choked violently and moved his lips, but he didn't know how to explain it?
In fact, not only Chang Yizhi, but also Pei Sui asked himself, dare he say that he has never been so surprised?

However, the two of them are quite deep in the city, and they know it well.Even if you are afraid in your heart, you will not show it, let alone confide it to others.

"The matter has come to this point, and it is all considered as nonsense, and now the only option is to fight with one's back."

Pei Sui sighed sadly, "Otherwise, I can just sit and wait for death, can't I wait for death?"

"How can I not know this truth... It is because of this that I have been thinking hard, but I can't break the situation through hard thinking, so I am depressed and sick..."

Can't think of a way to break the situation?

Pei Sui was not surprised: "Now Yu Zhong has found out that the Wei army going west is the real number. Li Chengzhi's intention to send cavalry to attack our rear through Longshan Road is clear.

But Yu Zhong and Murong Gao went to Wudu to help, and in the afternoon, they sent an emergency report to Songpan (belonging to Tuyuhun, bordering Nanliang and Yuan Wei) and Liangzhou (Nanliang Prefecture, today's Mianyang, Sichuan). Troops will be sent to aid Wudu.

Even Li Chengzhi is as fierce as a tiger and as powerful as a broken bamboo, and now there is no hope of stopping me from returning to the south.Therefore, you only need to follow the steps step by step, and you can set up camp and enter the valley after dawn. Why do you have to worry about the county? "

"A certain person is just like Yuanming, and I thought so before. But until Zishi, I received an urgent report from Yu Zhong, and it was true that I went to the Wei army in the west, and then Fu Luo came to find me in a hurry. Calling Chen Canggu Road narrow, it is the same as There is no place for the cavalry to be used by the Wei army to fight, so whether he can be allowed to lead the rest of the army and Yuan Li to the west will help me stop Li Chengzhi in Wudu.

It was then that I suddenly realized: Even Fu Luo could think that cavalry is useless in the old way, how could Li Chengzhian not know?Therefore, the Wei army going west is indeed a real soldier, but it is also a trick... Li Chengzhi's original intention is to forcefully cross the river, and he wants to follow our army to hide and kill..."

Pei Sui was terrified.

No wonder it was midnight in the middle of the night, Changyi's sudden order Hou Gang and Lan Ziyun's army to dig the river, trying to flood the south bank into a swamp.

Then the generals gathered all the crossbows, stone cannons, etc. on the shore, and forced Yuan Li to withdraw from Guancheng, even threatening to start a war?

It turned out that he had predicted that the Wei army would forcefully cross the Wei River?
"Since Li Chengzhi... wants to forcibly cross the river, why did he stop the flag and drums yesterday and wait for a day?"

"When we retreated the day before yesterday, I ordered Ziyun to burn all the ships within a hundred miles up and down. The Wei army could only recruit ships from Siyin and Qizhou. Just like we saw that the retreat was imminent, but we had to rest for a day and wait for the assembly. Only when the food and grass are ready and the chariots and horses are ready can we march...

So yesterday Li Chengzhi could only look at the river and sigh.And according to my prediction, today's Li Chengzhi will definitely move..."

A good thief is like a maggot with a bone attached to it, and his ghost lingers?

If it was in the past, Pei Sui must have various reasons to persuade Chang Yizhi and himself in order to persevere in spite of all setbacks.

But now he searched his brains and racked his brains, but he couldn't think of anything to rely on?

It is true that Li Chengzhi is treacherous and changeable, and he is strong and strong.

And ask yourself, is it really only because of Li Chengzhi's use of firearms that he and Changyi are so close to desperation?
This is the main cause, but not all of it.

If it weren't for the Wei army's strong armor and sharp swords, and many soldiers and generals, how could Li Shao treat the tens of thousands of troops rushing to the city of Siyin as nothing?
If it weren't for the strict military discipline and sufficient horses and chariots, how could Li Chengzhi be allowed to come and go like the wind, return it to Qin An in the morning, and go to Qin'an in the evening?

The national power of the Yuan and Wei dynasties was already strong, and they needed soldiers to have soldiers, food to have food, armor to have armor, horses to have horses, and generals to have.And the order is like a mountain, and the order is prohibited.Only in this way can Li Chengzhi be like an arm and a tiger with wings.

Therefore, if you think deeply, it is not wrong to lose this battle at all?

It's a pity that even if the intestines are regretful, it will not help...

"It's nothing more than life and death, fish die and net break..."

Pei Sui gritted his teeth and said, "After daybreak, please ask the county magistrate to lead the army into the valley first, and then someone will come to kill the rear...It's nothing more than death..."

"It's in vain that you were known as a child prodigy when you were young, but you are so confused now?"

Chang Yizhi reprimanded in a cold voice, "If I go ahead and wait for the Wei army to cross the river, then your army will collapse like a mountain. Therefore, only Chang is left behind, and there is still strength for a battle, and the rest are not worth mentioning." ...

Yuanming also don't need to put his beak, let alone wait until dawn... When I sent Lan Ziyun to dig the embankment, I ordered the former army to bring food and grass into the valley quietly.And when I lure Fu Luo, Yuan Li and others to the Yamen later in the name of discussing matters, you should set up camp immediately to prevent these two thieves from robbing our army...

After you leave, if I can hold the river bank, I will stick to it.If I can't keep it, I will retreat back to the city, which can delay you for a while... and at that time, Fu Luo and the Yuan thief will be like dogs who have lost their homes. In a panic, they can only follow you into the valley.

But the valley road is so wide, you only need to set up a strong force for the rear army, and you can force the two thieves to cut off your rear.So even if I lose, you can return to the south safely..."
