Song Dynasty

Chapter 280 Point General ([-])

Dingzhou, Li Cheng Xingyuan.At o'clock in the morning.

Chen Lanruo changed into a military uniform, and followed the generals of the various armies, striding towards the hall.She is tall and tall. Although she has a daughter, she still looks tall and straight, dashing and unrestrained, heroic, and her black and white eyes are frighteningly bright in the dark.

Just last night, Wang Shen suddenly called to open the city gate and entered the city alone, saying that there was an urgent military matter and he needed to call all the generals of the Li family army to discuss.

The current Wang Shen opened the mansion and built teeth, and after covering most of Hubei, it is already one of the largest festival towns in the Song Dynasty.In a few more years, with the support of Du Chong and the trust of the officials, he may become a military grandma like Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong, and his future is limitless.

The four characters like the sky are just right to describe the current Wang Shen, and Chen Lanruo's heart is both sad and proud.What is proud is that the thief of his family is indeed a world-class hero, and his reputation has shaken the world within a year; what is sad is that the higher the status of Wang Shen, the less he can keep him by his side.

If he continued to hesitate like this, and the baby girl in the family grew up and asked himself to have a father, how should he explain it?

……

Wang Shen entered the city suddenly last night, Chen Lanruo, as a general in the army, didn't know, she was startled.A strange thought suddenly came to mind: Is that thief looking for me... I, I, I...

Thinking of this, Chen Lanruo was hot all over, and hurried home to take a bath and change clothes, and even put on a little makeup, asked Qiuhua to prepare a table of wine and food, sat and waited for a long time, but did not wait for anyone to come.

At this time, the drums in the army sounded, and it was time to go.

At this time, Chen Lanruo realized that Wang Shen's trip to the city was not for himself.

When I asked later, I found out that after Wang Shen entered the city, he lived in the Yamen of Zhizhou. After waking up, he went straight to Xingyuan and asked Li Cheng to discuss matters.

This thief has only his military affairs in his heart, only iron and stone in his heart, probably... he no longer has me.

Thinking of this, Chen Lanruo felt sad, and vaguely angry again.

Walking into the lobby, it was already full of military men.Although it was already a cold day, several stoves were fired, and after being steamed by the heat from so many people, it was so hot inside that everyone was sweating slightly, and there was a faint smell of sweat wafting in the air.

It was strange today, Wang Shen and Li Chengcheng, who were plainly dressed, changed into official positions and sat on the table.

Especially Wang Shen, who was dressed in a red robe, had a serious face, and his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the generals one by one, showing his majesty, which seemed to be anti-customer.

On the other hand, Li Cheng was full of displeasure and remained silent. Obviously, the two had already had a dispute before Chen Lanruo came.

"General Chen is here. Once you arrive at Li's army, all the robes will be ready." Wang Shen coughed lightly, and said with a faint smile: "A certain man is in command of the deputy army of Shenwu. Jingbei Road and Xiangyang North Road are recruiting. Zhi Zhishi, according to the imperial court system, all the soldiers and horses in the north and south of the Great Lakes are under the control of someone, and they have the right to do things cheaply. Do you know why you are called here today? There is indeed a big change that I want to tell you. "

"A few days ago, my Sizhou army and Li's army cooperated with each other and recovered many cities and beheaded a lot. Now, Dingzhou is stable, and the people have returned home one after another. There are signs of recovery. This is the imperial court's blessing, the official family's blessing , I have reported to the imperial court to ask for credit for everyone."

"Successful news keeps coming, so I feel very relieved. I think you are also excited. You want to make another contribution to put down the bandits in Hunan. However, although the Mani demon was frustrated on the battlefield, it was broken into pieces and mixed among the people. It is the most difficult to distinguish. Moreover, the demon sect is the best at deceiving people. If the leaders cannot be removed in one fell swoop, even if Hunan can be pacified in a short period of time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be reborn in the future."

"If you want to completely eradicate the Mani Demon Sect, you can only take the head of Zhong Xiang and completely eradicate all the leaders in the sect. Recently, I had to make a detailed report, but I found out the location of Zhong Xiang's puppet court. I came here today because I want to learn from the king of heaven. Some elite soldiers are dispatched here to participate in the battle to exterminate Zhongxiang... Haha, this is a huge turning point in this battle, and it is also an opportunity for you to serve the country's court and make great achievements, how about it?"

Wang Shen narrowed his eyes and smiled triumphantly.

"Si..." There was a panting sound from below.

In other words, they have been in Hunan for nearly a year, and they have also fought several fierce battles with the demons of the Manichaeism, and the scale is not small.

At the beginning, Li Chengjun was a first-class strong pen trained by the Tokyo left-behind department, and he had the courage of Li Tianwang, so he thought it would be easy to cut off a few small thieves.But they didn't expect that after the Li family's army moved thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, the army was exhausted, the personnel were also mixed, and the combat effectiveness was not what it used to be.

At the beginning, they took advantage of the battlefield, but gradually as the Manichaeists changed their tactics, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards Zhong Xiang.Up to now, Li Jiajun has been trapped in various cities by Zhong and Yang.The small group of troops under him went out of the city and didn't know if they could come back.To be honest, they were really frightened by Mani.

Up to now, they don't know what Zhong Xiang and Mrs. Yang look like, and where they are, let alone pacify Hunan.

He never expected that Wang Shen only brought 2000 troops into the lake, and with a small force against a small force, he actually wiped out the rogues in the Dongting Lake area of ​​Dingzhou in the past half a month.

Today he also said that he knew the whereabouts of Zhong Xiang Yang Yao.

This Wang Daosi is indeed a formidable character, no wonder he has achieved such a great career after debuting for one year.

Admiration is nothing but admiration, but everyone knows the situation of their own troops.

The Li family's army now has less than [-] troops, and the number of elite soldiers who can go into battle is no more than [-]. The elite veterans die one less.But Wang Shen only brought [-] soldiers with him this time, which was clearly not enough for a decisive battle with Zhong Xiang.According to what he said, he wanted Li Jiajun to send out all the elites to cooperate with him.

This... is not a good job.

Seeing Wang Shen's triumphant look, Li Cheng, who had been sitting next to him with a cold face, stood up and saluted: "As soon as the recruiter arrived in Hunan, he found out the whereabouts of the main force of the demon thief. It really is a young hero. Martial arts, with the bravery of the Sizhou army, the head of the little bell monster will be taken the next day. The last general is here to congratulate the court and recruit envoys. If the envoy needs me, Li Cheng, please order .”

After the words fell, all the generals of the Li family's army also cupped their hands: "Congratulations for recruiting envoys."

Wang Shen smiled and waved for everyone to be quiet.Considering the words and sentences, he said slowly: "Accordingly, the envoy has the power to control the states in the north and the south, and the army. However, Brother Boyou and I have a lifelong friendship. If you order directly, it will hurt you I love you. Brother Boyou must know that our army has few soldiers and horses, and logistics supplies are also difficult. The generals of the Li family army came to Hunan for a year before me, and I am familiar with the local people. The meaning of this is that the enemy is now in Lianyunzhai, where the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to use a large number of siege equipment to fight hard. According to reports, the bandits have five thousand soldiers and horses. There is a saying in the art of war: ten Surround it. The 2000 men and horses of the Beiwei army under my command are not enough, and you all have to dispatch, and obey my brother Yu Boyou's orders. Haha, I heard that the imperial court of the puppet Zhongxiang has a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and silks hidden in Lianyunzhai , if you take down the enemy stronghold this time, I will reward you for your merits, and you will never be stingy."

"This is the wealth of the Ding, Chen, and Li prefectures that were robbed by bandits. Everyone has suffered terribly for more than a year. If we win this battle, we will be able to have a full meal. Brother Boyou, what do you think?" After finishing speaking, he laughed out loud, extremely bold.

Hearing Wang Shen said that the gold and silver piled up like a mountain in Prime Minister Zhong's old lair, Wang Shen promised to reward all the property to the soldiers, the eyes of all the generals shone with greed, and they all looked at Li Cheng.

Li Cheng bowed his body slowly, and said: "This matter requires the use of all the soldiers and horses on hand of you and me, and the conquest of the people and food in the entire Dingzhou. For personal reasons, Li Cheng definitely has no reason to shirk... The recruiter found the lair where Zhong Xiang's puppet imperial court and hundreds of officials are located. I don't know if it is true or not... After all, the enemy's situation is too complicated. Big, it will take more than ten days to come and go... If this is the plan of the devil to divert the tiger away from the mountain... If there is a mistake in Dingzhou, our army will be alone in the southern mountainous area of ​​Dingzhou, the traffic will be cut off, and the food and grass will not be enough, but what should we do? ... The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and it is not our army's strength to attack a strong city. When the time comes, we don't know how many troops will be lost, so don't destroy the army...Be wary of the generals... This is inevitable It’s a bit sloppy, do you want to find out again, make a plan and then move?”

Hearing Li Cheng's words, the generals felt as if they had been poured cold water on their heads, and the situation suddenly came to their senses.

That's right, if in Huaixi, the troops can fight well, that's fine.But after traveling thousands of miles over the past year, the morale of the army has been exhausted, and it is no longer the strong army that was brave and good at fighting.Besides, attacking strongholds is purely filling with human lives.Wang Shen was powerful enough, but he was in a terrible embarrassment when he beat Qichun.

What the king of heaven said is good, in troubled times, the king of grass is the one who has soldiers, and gold and silver are nothing.Now we have [-] troops in hand, and the imperial court still takes everyone seriously.If the troops break up, then the world will be so big that there will be no place to stand.

Therefore, Tao Zisi took the lead in attacking: "Yes, the king of heaven is right. Is the news true? Don't let it go by then."

With him taking the lead, the others also shouted.

"It is necessary to fight, but it depends on how to fight. Attacking a stronghold means killing one thousand enemies and losing ten thousand. It is not worthwhile."

"The king recruits envoys, do you want to find a way to lure Zhong Xiang and the others out. Speaking of field battles, we have never been afraid of Mani monsters."

"Anyway, if we don't go, no one can say that we will suffer a big loss for nothing."

"Back to me, I only have the king of heaven in my eyes, others can't recognize it."

……

For a moment, the hall was filled with boiling and roared into a ball.

This group of army ruffians got angry, and they were about to make a scene.

The Xingyuan was so chaotic, but Li Cheng, as a landlord, didn't stop him, he just stared at Wang Shen indifferently, and sneered in his heart: Wang Daosi is not so stupid to think of using my Li family army to consume him.Presumably, you, Wang Shen, got an order from Du to earn money from me, Li Cheng. Well, if that's the case, our old friendship is exhausted.
