Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 212
The person who knows you best is usually your enemy.

Tang Fengyi is not a very broad-minded person. When Li Jing went to Lingnan to fight the rebellion, he had a little feud with him. Therefore, he knew a lot about his enemy. He knew that Li Jing was a talented guy, especially when he brought Soldiers fighting.

Looking at the new Tang books, the old Tang books, and the first few years of the Zhenguan Dynasty recorded in Taizong's Jiji, Li Jing is the one who is mentioned the most in the sequence of generals, more than all other generals combined, which proves that In the early days of Zhenguan, during the years when wars were most frequent, Li Shimin's most trusted leader in all wars was Li Jing. This was because his ability was so outstanding that he had never been defeated.The military god of the Tang Dynasty did not gain his reputation in vain. If it hadn't been for Tang Fengyi's false accusations and accusations that made Li Jing want to avoid the world, it is hard to say what the future history would be like.

However, even the god of war, there are times when he encounters troubles that cannot be solved, and he encounters troubles as soon as the army reaches the border.

Nearly 2 people from the Huihe tribe set up a village less than five miles away from the Pianguan Pass. They attacked and did not attack, and they did not retreat.

As shrewd as Li Jing, when he saw this scene, he immediately figured out what was going on. Zhang Pengyuan should be the running dog of those aristocratic families. Go to Shuozhou.

However, the guard of the side pass is a frontier guard officer appointed by the imperial court. Without the order of the Ministry of War, Li Jing has no power to instruct him. You must know that due to historical changes, the personnel appointments of Li Tang's upper officials have also changed. Li Jing The current title is only a county magistrate, and does not have the title of minister of the Ministry of War.

Li Jing didn't have time to ask the messenger to go to the Ministry of War to ask for a transfer order, but he didn't show it on the surface. He calmly ordered all the troops to dismount and set up camp, as if he was waiting for the transfer order from the Ministry of War.

When Zhang Pengyuan saw that Li Jing was honest, he knew that his errand had been completed, so he pretended to transfer some food and grass in the remote pass, and personally sent it to Li Jing's army to appease him, but he didn't want to. Suddenly attacked Zhang Pengyuan and took him down.

"Li Jing, you dare to use swords against the guards on the border, are you going to rebel?"

"Whether this general is rebellious or not, it doesn't matter what you say. If you are sensible, let your people clear out the rocks that block and close the door. Otherwise, I will kill you first, and then report to His Majesty, saying that you are treasonous. .”

"you······"

"Why, do you think His Majesty will not know what you intend to do? You will only be executed by His Majesty for this crime."

Li Jing is a military strategist, and he followed a cunning way. He was able to straighten out the chaos in the south during the Wude period, so how could he not have the corresponding tactics? However, even Zhang Pengyuan was afraid of death, so he had to order his subordinates to clean up the After closing the door, Li Jing also left the customs almost two days later than the scheduled time.

At this time, Sun Xiangfu, who led a hundred fully armed guards and five hundred soldiers from the Shuozhou Unity Battalion, had already joined Wang Xu in Shuanghualing for a day.

"The Wang family deserves to be the first-class family in the world. In just two or three days, they have gathered more than 1 soldiers." Looking at the more than 1 soldiers brought by Wang Xu, Sun Xiangfu couldn't help but praise.

Regarding armed forces, since the end of the Han Dynasty, the aristocratic families have actually paid more attention to them. Although the people brought by Wang Xu did not have the standard equipment like the imperial army, they were equipped with swords, guns and arrows. Most of them were wearing light armor and their bodies were strong. How much worse are the soldiers of the Shuozhou Unity Battalion who have been there for more than half a year.

"My Wang family has been operating here in Bingzhou for hundreds of years, so I still have some family background. As long as Tuli is really as you expected, come to Shuanghua Ridge, my son will definitely show you how powerful my Wang family's soldiers are. "

Although Wang Xu recruited Sun Xiangfu in this battle, seeing that he only brought more than 600 people, he didn't think he could take on the responsibility of the main force. Wang's family soldiers had been trained by Wang Xu himself for two or three years. After practicing for so long, it would be a lie to say that he doesn't want to be drawn out to fight, after all he is a warlike warrior.

"So, I can't wait to ask for it, but most of us are infantry. We have chosen the place to ambush, but we need to make more preparations." Sun Xiangfu said, and Guo Po, who was in charge of Shuozhou's military affairs, left. out.

"I also ask the prince to temporarily entrust the deployment of the subordinates to this general, and dig traps and fortifications, which can greatly reduce our casualties."

Hearing this, Wang Xu nodded and agreed. Although he has trained as a soldier for several years and his personal martial arts skills are excellent, he has never really been on the battlefield. This is the gap between their family soldiers and the official army. At the beginning, he went to the battlefield almost every year, and his individual combat power was almost unmatched in the world. The same number of soldiers of the Tang army faced the enemy head-on and never lost.

Soon, under the organization of Guo Po, more than 1 people began to dig traps on the road in the middle of Shuanghua Ridge and set up hidden horse-repelling posts.

At night, when the soldiers who had worked all day had a full meal and went to sleep in their respective camps, the subordinates of the intelligence team, Shen Xing'er, quickly sent information to Sun Xiangfu.

"Tuli really bypassed Mayi and came to Shuanghua Ridge."

"With these fortifications built by the general organization, plus the arrow branch equipment we brought, it shouldn't be a problem to block them for two days, but..."

Regarding Tuli's intelligence, Sun Xiangfu pulled Guo Po aside and said that he didn't want Wang Xu to know that he had a powerful intelligence organization under his command.

"What's the problem, but it's okay to talk about it." Seeing Guo Po's embarrassed expression, Sun Xiangfu said with a bad feeling in his heart.

"The people brought by Wang Xu seem to be not very united. Some people work very hard, while others are lazy on purpose. But it may be because of lack of discipline. I dare not say for sure."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu frowned. Soon, he thought of a terrible question. This is the Wang family soldier, and it is an important foundation force of the Wang family. So, isn't Wang Lin in this force? Develop a crowd of supporters?
The answer is impossible. Among these people, there must be some who support Wang Lin, and some even support Wang Hao. However, they are all managed by Wang Xu for the time being. So, will there be any changes in their life and death?
With such worries, sweat broke out on Sun Xiangfu's forehead.

"Lieutenant Guo, wake up our people, gather together, put all the steel plates inside the cotton armor, don't take off your armor without orders, and don't let your swords leave your hands. If there is no change in the Wang's family soldiers, our people will come first." Time to organize into a defensive formation and I feel like something might be going on."

With the matter of sinking Wang Lin into the river in Luoyang before, Sun Xiangfu is very sure that what Wang Lin wants to do most now is to kill Wang Xu and himself. , he must have some follow-up means, because it is very difficult to kill Wang Xu and himself with Tuli alone.

And if the people Wang Lin placed in the family soldiers suddenly attacked when Tuli came, then Sun Xiangfu and Wang Xu would be attacked on both sides.

"Come here, light the fire, and light up the tent. Go and invite Mr. Wang Xu to come to my tent." Sun Xiangfu put on the armor he had already taken off, and said to the guard on duty at the door.
