New Wagang

Chapter 729

The wilderness under the night is even more bleak.

Standing on a small slope, Chen Leng looked up at the direction of the court soldiers and horses, his eyes were dignified.

Like Wei Wentong, Chen Ling also learned the news that Huaizhou and Tongguan grain and grass had been robbed. Zhang Xian died directly in battle, and his wife, Paul Fang, was still alive and dead.

This has to be said to be an unacceptable fact.

At this point, Chen Leng also wanted to understand the intention of Su Dingfang, the vanguard general of the Allied Forces.

In fact, everyone has entered into a misunderstanding, that is, they think that the battle of Siming Mountain must be supported by food and grass in order to be sure of victory.

Therefore, at the beginning, whether it was the allied forces or the court, they all made extremely detailed plans for the subsequent supply of food and grass.

However, Su Dingfang of the Allied Forces did the opposite.

It doesn't matter whether we have food and grass coming later, as long as I can rob the food and grass brought by your supervisor, isn't it the same?

Although it is extremely risky to do so, who would have thought that Su Dingfang would really do this?

Although everyone knows that supervising food and grass transportation is likely to encounter robbery, it has to be said that both the old king and the Allied Marshal Qin Qiong are only more cautious about this, and have not given up everything. Go all out to rob food!

But Su Dingfang did just that!
That is to say, in the situation that the food and grass of the two sides are not far apart, as long as your food and grass are robbed, the situation will change sharply. At that time, it will not be difficult to judge who will win and who will lose.

"Su Dingfang." Chen Ling exhaled lightly.

Thinking that this time, I secretly contacted the elder Mrs. Paul to agree to three thousand stones of grain and grass, but I had the intention of coercing my father to let me leave Ping County. Although my father had to agree later, my father was quite resentful when I left.

The old man is only for the people of Ping County, so he doesn't want to wander around by himself, but if it's the same as before, how can he just bury his own abilities now?

It's just that I didn't expect that when I was still halfway there, I heard the news that the eldest wife, Paul Fang, was alive or dead. Is it possible that the relationship that took three thousand stones and grass to get into has finally disappeared like this?
Chen Ling looked at the entire camp in front of him, feeling a little dazed in his heart, wondering if he would be able to see the backer king this time.

"General."

The soldiers approached to the foot of the small soil slope, looked up at Chen Leng and reported: "The king of the mountain, Yang Lin, sent his third eunuch, Li Wan, to accompany the army to secure food!"

As soon as the soldier's words fell, a voice rang out in the night: "General Chen, you don't need to be idle, but do you know that countless soldiers and horses in and around Bali Beach are eagerly looking forward to food and grass?"

Three Taibao?
Chen Leng's heart moved, and he looked towards the place where the voice came out in the night, and saw a man in brocade clothes appeared in his sight. The man was about 30 years old, with fair complexion and a little fat. people.

The words of the third Taibao seem to be making things difficult, and I don’t know if he and the big Taibao are on the same side. Also, does the old king not trust me, or he wants his third Taibao to share some credit.

Chen Ling is a person who is familiar with military books and is used to strategy. Apart from that, he can understand a thing or two about some political tricks.

Not to mention far away, let's talk about the four-way supervision of grain and grass transportation. Isn't Wei Wentong, who has already been famous all over the world, just a lieutenant general?

And it can be said that the chief commander and vanguard, Paul Fang, who is not successful enough to fail, is too obvious that the backer king deliberately supports his subordinate Taibao.

But now, I came from Ping County on this road, which can be said to be thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is also the farthest among the four roads. It is also the farthest road from the imperial court soldiers and horses. Perhaps it is because of this that I have not encountered the other party of robbery.

But even if the distance is calculated in this way, it will not be too long to arrive at the imperial military garrison, but at this time, the king of the mountain sent a Taibao to guard the grain. Is this to share the credit or what?

Chen Ling's heart was as bright as a mirror, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction or even displeasure. He was already 40 years old, and he was no longer the stunned boy in his twenties. Even if he was angry, he had already imitated his father. The wear and tear is mellow.

Chen Ling then walked down the soil slope, bowed his hands to Li Wan, the third eunuch, stepped forward to greet Li Wan respectfully, and seemed to have no displeasure at Li Wan's accusation just now.

Seeing that Chen Leng was very docile, Li Wan felt happy at the moment. Thinking about it, too, if it is said that Wei Wentong and others are unruly and unruly, only the old king can overwhelm him, even the eldest brother should also look at his good looks, but this Chen It is true that he has no background and no military achievements, and his father is only a small county magistrate, so what if he doesn't listen to this in front of the Third Taibao?

"I don't know what kind of supervision and instruction the Third Taibao came here for?" Chen Leng lowered his posture, but the followers around Chen Leng were very upset.

Although Chen Ling's biggest official position so far is a military commander in Ping County, and these subordinates are just soldiers and horses stationed in a county, but this is definitely an iron army.

Under Chen Leng's training in recent years, the combat power of this team of soldiers and horses is definitely not weaker than that of a certain prince in the current imperial court. One of the reasons why no one dared to mess with it.

Li Wan could see that the soldiers around Chen Ling were dissatisfied with him, but Li Wan didn't care about it at all, they were just some small soldiers, so don't bother.

Li Wan swept Chen Ling's eyes with a look of admiration, and then said: "This Taibao came to help General Chen escort the food and grass under the order of the old king."

There was a pause in Li Wan's words, as if he didn't want to utter the word "help" at that moment, but in the end, Li Wan still didn't dare to change the backer king's order without authorization, and replaced "help" with "help"!
Li Wan thought very far.

This time, two of the four roads of food and grass have been robbed, which means that the Allied forces must have been prepared for this, so this road is also very likely to encounter the other party's food robbery.

But the good news is that after the incident of the other two roads of food and grass being robbed, the scouts inquired about the intelligence that not many soldiers and horses sneaked into the rear of the imperial garrison this time, only more than a thousand people.

And it seems that the soldiers acted in two ways.

After the battle between the two groups of robbing food, many people died. In addition, the soldiers were divided into two groups, so that means that even if they encountered robbing food, they would probably be in the hundreds, or even less than [-] .

Although there are not as many soldiers and horses from Ping County as the other three routes, they are still in the number of [-], and because they are prepared to face the robbery of food, they are sure to be safe.

Therefore, at that moment, Li Wan had the idea of ​​wanting to replace Chen Leng as the general, but after a little hesitation, he still didn't dare to change the order of the backer king rashly.
