Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 949: Counterinsurgency Privately Dispatched Troops

The rain in August comes as soon as it is said, and stops as soon as it is said to stop.Kou Zhun led a team of guards, braved the pouring rain, and drove all night in the dark. Although everyone was drenched, he only hoped that the rain would be heavier and longer, so that he could drag on for a while. Dragging and transporting food and grass troops can also trap Sun Feiyu, a group of rebels, in Weiping County.

It's just that the world is not as good as it should be. Nine times out of ten, as soon as the next day dawned, the heavy rain like splashing water stopped in an instant. At noon, it was another sunny afternoon with the sun hanging high.The distance between Dashan Town and Wangjiashan Town is less than a hundred miles, but there is only a simple official road connecting them. After the heavy rain, the road was extremely muddy. Kou Zhun and others walked for more than ten hours on the tens of miles of road.Unexpectedly, after arriving at Wangjiashan Town, there was no trace of Wang Lin's department delivering grain and grass.

Kou Zhun was so anxious that he sent nearly half of his guards to inquire, and finally found out that there was a grain delivery team stationed at Jiguan Mountain, [-] miles south of Wangjiashan Town.Kou Zhun didn't have time to rest, so he ate some dry food indiscriminately on the horse, and headed south to Jiguan Mountain.

The official road from Wangjiashan Town to Jiguan Mountain is a thoroughfare and is often repaired. Although it has been washed by heavy rain, it is not very muddy, but the terrain becomes more dangerous as it goes south, and it is not much better than the previous road.After walking for more than an hour, I arrived at the foot of Jiguan Mountain.Kou Zhun looked up and saw huge peaks like a screen, mountains and rocks set against each other, a high mountain shaped like a cockscomb, amidst the lush greenery, a river of clear water meanders out of a secluded valley, it is a beautiful place, and there is no sound of golden arms .Kou Zhun rode his horse up the river for more than a mile, but he couldn't see a single person, let alone a flag post.Every time Kou Zhun took a step, his heart sank a little, and he walked about half a mile with a sullen face. The platoon leader behind him who sent Deng Chongxuan to escort Kou Zhun couldn't hold back anymore, and said tentatively: "This... Has Deputy Brigadier Wang left already?"

As if bitten by a mosquito, Kou Zhun turned his head suddenly, with a livid face, gave the platoon leader a cold look, and said, "Platoon leader Ma, if you don't want to follow me, just take your people back to find Deng Xiaoping." The general will return."

After finishing speaking, Kou Zhun gave a loud "drive", whipped his mount vigorously, and drove the horse towards the valley.The ten hidden guards followed closely, and the platoon leader looked panic-stricken, knowing that if the conversation between him and Kou Zhun just now was sent back to the army commander, not only would he have no credit for escorting Kou Zhun, but he would also suffer bad luck.After figuring this out, he didn't dare to have the slightest bit of complaints and complaints, and hastily galloped on, leading his men and horses to follow closely behind the ten dark guards.

In fact, Kou Zhun was already worried that Wang Lin had left the camp.It's just that this matter is too important, he has been worried that the rebels would run out of Weiping County, burn, kill and loot everywhere, not to mention harming the people, it would be very difficult for him to catch up.But at this time, there was no sign of Wang Linbu, so he couldn't help feeling a little restless.Driving the horse to gallop, lashing the mount fiercely, with Kou Zhun's character at this time, he subconsciously vented all his anger on the Hetao horse, beating the horse's body with deep and shallow stripes of whip marks.

After running for another stick of incense, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes ahead.Kou Zhun was overjoyed, and hurriedly rode forward to meet him, but saw a long procession on the mountain road three or four li away ahead.If it wasn't Wang Lin and his party who were escorting the grain and grass, who else could it be?

Kou Zhun knew that the matter was urgent and could not be delayed, so he hurriedly said to the ten secret guard leaders who were following him closely, Wang Sanbao, who had the honor of the Vice-Chancellor of the Shaodu, and was an official rank eighth, "Wang Sanbao, hurry up and take the two of you!" Go ahead and stop Deputy Brigadier Wang with your secret guard commander's badge, and tell me that I have an urgent call."

Wang Sanbao agreed and yelled, and the Hetao warhorse under him had jumped out.

No better than people like Zhou Fangyang who are far away from the capital, even if the soldiers of the supply camp in Xiajing do not know the existence of the Dark Guard Division, they can definitely recognize the distinctive dark black shirt on the Dark Guard, and even know that people who are not from the royal family Or the person closest to His Majesty cannot send a hidden guard.So when I saw a secret guard officer leading two secret guards rushing towards them with a secret guard badge in hand, while being surprised, not only did no one dare to stop them, but they also moved out of the way as quickly as possible.

This food and grass team can dispatch three thousand soldiers and horses to take care of it. Obviously, there are a lot of food and grass. The previous life in this mountain road is three or four miles long.Wang Lin, who was in the middle of the convoy, saw a dark guard officer leading two dark guards running towards him from a distance, and suddenly remembered that he had swapped some good rice for second-time rice as military rations, his legs went limp, and he almost didn't have a butt fell off the horse.But then he thought wrong!Although the Dark Guard Division is terrifying, he doesn't care about his crap.Even the people in the security department are probably too lazy to get used to this kind of corruption.Only Li Junhao's Overwatch Council will take care of this matter.

Wang Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, most of the fear dissipated in his heart, and he calmed down, but then he thought about the presence of hidden guards here, could there be someone from the royal family coming, but then thought about the withering of the royal family, except for His Majesty and the three empresses, It was His Royal Highness, who was about to turn three years old and caused a catastrophe according to the recent rumors.No matter who it is, it is absolutely impossible to appear here at this time.

Wang Lin's question was quickly answered. When he learned that it was Kou Zhun who had arrived, Wang Lin was stunned, and thought to himself, "Why did you forget this one?"

Despite trying to block the news, rumors of a rebellion in Weiping County had already spread within a hundred miles around Weiping County. The residents who were disturbed by the rumors were all terrified and packed up their belongings and fled to the big cities in nearby counties. The merchants have disappeared.Except for the scattered people who fled from Weiping County.Outside Weiping County, there were only [-] heavy troops led by Kou Zhun and Wang Lin who rushed to Weiping County, and [-] elite cavalry guards around Kou Zhun were heading towards Weiping County.The grain and grass were temporarily guarded by a thousand soldiers on standby.

After Kou Zhun said that he would bear all the consequences of privately escorting the army with food and supplies, and personally wrote a letter to Deng Chongxuan explaining that the food did not arrive on time, Wang Lin expressed his willingness to bring people over to fight the rebellion with Kou Zhun without hesitation.Just kidding, who in the world doesn't know that Kou Zhun has a bright future, and if he has the opportunity to climb up to this one, how can he miss it.What's more, in Wang Lin's view, it would be a great achievement if this matter is done well.

But Kou Zhun breathed a sigh of relief at this time, the rebels never left Weiping County.

"Lord Kou, don't worry." Wang Lin pointed at the stone bridge with his whip, and said with a smile, "Mushui, Tangshui's ferry, and the ferry are all under my control. All the wooden bridges and stone bridges on Mushui are also under my control." They were all piled up with dry firewood and explosives, and since the rebels hadn't left Weiping County at the beginning, it was absolutely impossible for them to escape at this time."

"Deputy Brigadier Wang is still very considerate." Kou Zhun praised. After arriving near Weiping County, he asked Liu Laowu and others who had been sent by him to monitor the situation in Weiping County, as well as some refugees who fled the city. I have a general understanding of the situation of the rebels.Those rebels were at a loss in Weiping County at this time, and they were in a state of panic all day long. Judging from the current situation, even if they were going to flee, at most they would go into the mountains and disperse into a group of bandits.

But when Kou Zhun thought of what Liu Laowu said to him just now, his expression was extremely ugly, and a murderous intent emerged in his heart which was rare.After a long while, he sighed in a low voice: "Liu Lao Wu ventured into Weiping County and got the news. Weiping County is really terrible now! Outside of fighting and fighting, they only know the broken people. The people of Weiping County, looking forward to the arrival of Wang Shi at this time, is better than looking forward to the rain after a long drought! And Deputy Brigadier Wang, you lead 2000 troops, it will be rain."

Wang Lin looked worried, hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Master Kou, although the rebels are useless, they are after all a powerful force reorganized by the White Wolf Army. They are well-equipped, well-trained, and the White Wolf Army With the reputation of bravery, I am afraid that these two thousand heavy soldiers will be difficult to deal with..."

Kou Zhun was full of confidence, interrupting Wang Linzhi's words, and said, "Don't worry, Deputy Brigadier Wang, as long as you follow the strategy I said, and use the strategy of doubting the soldiers, first let the rebels not know how many troops we have, and then the next He then led ten secret guards and a hundred elite cavalry from the Suzaku Legion to overwhelm the rebels with awe, saying that the imperial court only punished the chief villain and pardoned the rest, and sent them to the front line to fight against the enemy and make atonement for their crimes. As the following, the rebels will surely believe What I will say below. The rebels were originally in a state of panic, and many of them were deceived by that Sun Feiyu, which will definitely drive the rebels to fight among themselves first, and someone will definitely capture or kill that Sun Feiyu in order to ask for forgiveness. Then use words to trick the rebels into disarming and surrendering, and it will be a big deal. Therefore, as long as this plan is successful, the 2000 troops of Deputy Brigadier Wang may be able to make this great contribution without going through any battles."

After Wang Lin heard this, he thought for a while, and felt that the strategy Kou Zhun said had a high probability of success, and it was Kou Zhun who took the risk, not him.I will not say more.

At the same time, in the northeast direction of Weiping County, Zhe Yuxuan, deputy head of the White Wolf Army, led a group of cavalry to Weiping County with a gloomy face.He was ordered by Tuoba Gelu to capture Sun Feiyu, and then led the two thousand deserters back.However, the White Wolf Legion had previously fought a bitter battle with the party and suffered heavy losses. Tuoba Gelu only gave him 500 troops to complete this task. Zhe Yuxuan knew that this was because Tuoba Gelu was angry that his plan with Zhang Shouyi and Wang Jing had failed , As a result, the White Wolf Army suffered heavy losses, that's why he was sent here, otherwise, logically speaking, it should be the White Wolf Army's military justice envoy.

Zhe Yuxuan's brows haven't been relaxed in the past few days. They have already found the bodies of seven military judges among the two thousand deserters on the battlefield that day. With these 2000 people, it is likely that they are no longer deserters, and most of them have become rebels.If so, how could he bring these two thousand rebels back with his 500 people.
