Chaos in Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 46: Water can't leak

Views:

After sending orders to the soldiers to fly, half an hour later, all the officers on and off the Xiping garrison were all present.

A group of officers were a little nervous. Many of them were drinking or even drunk. The carnival of Xiping victory continued.

Even if Qin Meng sent someone to restrain, how could this excitement be suppressed for a while

The officers knew the temper of Qin Meng's boss, and as long as they did their job well, they would generally not trouble you.

But once the eyeballs are stared, the hands can be darkened.

Qin Meng's face was solemn, but his tone was unusually soft: "Everyone has merit in breaking the enemy. It is also common sense to celebrate. However, there is a new enemy situation now. Therefore, from now on, no one is allowed in the main city of Xiping. Drinking."

All the officers all put their hands together: "Here!"

Qin Meng knew. After the war, especially after the victory of the war, no matter who it is, the nervousness suddenly relaxes, coupled with the complacency of victory, it is difficult to correct it in a short time, let alone return to the state of war.

What happened to Yang Lin. It's not a trivial matter.

In any case, Xiping must be tight before he can think of other things.

"Sun Mao, choose two hundred capable brothers, divide them into four teams, and cross-check the defenses of the four cities every day. Regardless of whether it is fortifications or the status of personnel, they must be taken care of by Lao Tzu. If there are slack, the military will do it." Qin Meng gave the first order.

Sun Mao bowed his orders, Qin Meng glanced at Zhou Lie and Wei Da, and said in deep thought: "Wei Da, choose one hundred Jian Zuying brothers. Go around the city and pay special attention to suspicious people. If you find these people, Immediately take a detailed cross-examination to confirm that it is a Turkic meticulous work, or those who dare to resist, rectify the Fa on the spot."

Both Wei Da and Zhou Lie were a little surprised. Because Zhou Lie was the chief officer of Jian Zuying, why did Qin Meng give the order to his deputy

However, the rules are suspicious, and the order must be obeyed.

"The rest of the ministries, in view of the fact that the war has just ended, can arrange for their subordinates to take turns to rest according to their own conditions. But I must guarantee Lao Tzu that as long as there is an enemy situation, all personnel who can go must be neatly equipped and appear where they should appear!"

When all the officers saw Qin Meng, they were already under pressure, and now they felt even more pressure.

Such actions by Qin Meng are undoubtedly slowly regaining a state of preparedness for war. The sense of tension and oppression is not something ordinary people can bear.

Although Qin Meng did not start with the officers and soldiers of the garrison, who could not be nervous about Sun Mao's supervision and Wei Da's wartime patrols

After Qin Meng arranged the arrangements and let everyone leave, he gave Qi Yuan and Zhou Lie a look.

The two of them knew what they were doing, and waited until everyone had left before they walked up to Qin Meng.

Qi Yuan said, "General, is there something big?"

Qin Meng motioned for the two to sit down, frowning and said, "It's a big thing."

After listening to what Qin Meng said, Qi Yuan and Zhou Lie looked at each other. He didn't expect that there would be such a situation with the coach.

"How does the general want to be?" Qi Yuan asked.

Qin Meng sighed, "Everything can only be said after Xie Yun's inquiring about the news. But we can't just wait like this. Qi Yuan, you secretly prepare me some food for the long-distance march and prepare five hundred marching water pouches. , Remember. It must be done in secret, whoever dares to inquire into this matter will not be forgiven!"

Qi Yuan stunned, and quickly said yes.

"Zhou Lie, choose two hundred absolute elite soldiers for me. Similarly, they are carried out in secret and must not be known to outsiders. You personally lead these people and conduct long-distance training every day. Anyone you choose must not be in contact with the outside world, if any. Violation is also an immediate cut!"

Qi Yuan and Zhou Lie didn't dare to ask any more. They could understand Qin Meng. When it comes to the coach, this is a matter of heaven. Once an accident triggers a major event, it is more than just a brain problem.

After Qin Meng explained the matter, he asked Wei Da to find someone who was familiar with the terrain from Lingwu to Xiping. He almost stayed at home and studied the landforms around Lingwu County with that person every day.

In addition, Qin Meng is looking forward to the return of Xie Yun.

Until the agreed half-month period. Xie Yun hurried back.

Xie Yun was covered with dust, like a person fleeing from famine.

Anton Xie Yun sat down, Qin Meng asked people to serve tea and pour water. After Xie Yun took a few breaths, he asked, "How is it, what's the situation with the lord?"

Xie Yun drank a large pot of tea in one sigh, then panted and said, "A big deal has happened to the prince."

Qin Meng faintly sensed that a major event had happened to Yang Lin after seeing the great orders of the Jin Dynasty, but he did not expect that the news Xie Yun had brought was so terrible.

Yang Lin ruled over one hundred thousand troops, stationed in Lingwu, supported Yanchuan, Jinning, and Honghua, posing a great flank threat to the powerful Turkic army.

The Turkic people tried to solve Yang Lin's threat several times, but failed to return.

When the war in Lingwu's direction was stalemate, the former Bei Zhou general Gao Baoning made a breakthrough by offering a trick to surrender.

Gao Baoning is a well-known general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, after Yang Jian replaced Zhou Li Sui. Defected to the Turkic people.

In order to play the trick of surrendering, Gao Baoning killed his wife in Turkistan. With his head, he said that he was depressed in Turks and was always bullied by Turkic wives. Therefore, he wanted to return to the Central Plains all the time to earn money. To be trusted by Yang Lin.

When the time was right, Gao Baoning wrote to Yang Lin that most of the Turks planned to attack Jinning. The specific plan time was clearly stated, saying that he was willing to make internal responses, and he could defeat the troops on the way with the Turks. Central Plains.

Such a big thing. Yang Lin would not easily make up his mind to send a horse to scout for investigation, and found that as Gao Baoning said, he made up his mind to defeat most of the Turks.

Yang Lin led an army of 80,000 out of Lingwu, preparing to defeat the enemy in the Maanshan area.

No, Gao Baoning took advantage of Yang Lin's most part and sent his own soldiers from the Central Plains, falsely claiming that Yang Lin's subordinates had defeated the soldiers, making money to open the city gate, and directly taking Lingwu.

Yang Lin learned that Lingwu had been lost, knew the plan, wanted to retreat to Jinning, but didn't want to, Gao Baoning took Lingwu, got Yang Lin's subordinates, looked for those who were afraid of death, starry night rushed to Jinning, Yang Lin one step, Earning again to open the gates, Jinning also won.

The old prince is brave, and his subordinates are like clouds. But surrounded by enemies on three sides, even with the ability to reach the sky, they can only retreat steadily.

In the end, the 80,000 horses stopped at the water splashing ridge of Ma'anshan, relying on the mountain to set up their camp, and confront the enemy.

Currently, there is an army of 200,000 Turks. The Water Splashing Ridge has been enclosed, and it seems that he wants to kill Yang Lin.

Qin Meng was shocked when he heard it: "According to this calculation, the prince was trapped in the water splashing ridge, at least one month away! Eighty thousand army, trapped for more than a month, how can you survive?"

Xie Yun sighed: "Yes. The army went out to fight and couldn't carry much food at all. After being trapped for such a long time, even if the horses were killed to satisfy their hunger, it would not take long."

"Xie Yun, don't worry, how do you understand these situations so clearly?" Qin Meng's caution is not unreasonable. Even his most trusted person must thoroughly analyze the information he has obtained. Making judgments and choices based on wrong information will kill people, a lot of people!

Xie Yun said: "Sir, it's like this. When I went out of the Jianqi camp and arrived near Jinning, it felt different from the past. I sent someone to put on makeup and approached secretly, only to know that Jinning was occupied. How dare I neglect such an important matter? I found a chance and caught a few tongues before I knew how Jinning was defending. Through the tongue I caught, I trapped an officer again. From his mouth, I knew the situation."

"Did the officer bring it?"

"Just outside."

Qin Meng immediately asked Xie Yun to bring the person, repeating his own questions. After asking it upside down several times, I was sure that what Xie Yun said was all credible.

"Xie Yun, take the brothers from Jianqiying to wash up. It only takes one day to gather in the middle of the night and wait for my order."

Xie Yun knew that his chief was about to take action, and quickly quit.

Qin Meng thought for a while and asked the soldiers to call Sun Mao, Qi Yuan, and Zhou Lie.

"Sun Mao, I have something to go out. The specific time. Just one month. During this period, you and Qi Yuan will temporarily take the post of me. You and you will discuss all defense affairs in Xiping. If you disagree, you can Sun Mao is the master. Within one month, you two must ensure that there is nothing wrong with Xiping. After one month, if there is something in Xiping, the responsibility is not with you two."

Sun Maoqi Yuan was greatly surprised, but Qin Meng's extremely solemn expression made him two dare not ask why.

After Sun Mao was sent away, Qin Meng asked Zhou Lie: "Two hundred talented people, have you ever prepared well?"

"Back to the general, everything will behave according to the general's arrangement."

"Well, very good, immediately find Qi Yuan secretly, take the things this general gave him to prepare, gather tonight, and leave the city in the middle of the night."

Zhou Lie was astonished, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurried down to prepare.

At this time, Qin Meng had all kinds of problems in his mind. He couldn't keep his eyes closed, so he had to lie down, staring at the roof, and waited until the time to set off.

At night, Zhou Lie Xie Yun went to Qin Meng's place and informed that the team had assembled, the materials had been put on the cart, and everything was ready.

"Beicheng left the city and headed towards Jinning." Qin Meng ordered in a deep voice.

Zhou Lie took the order, took the token, and went to Beicheng to open the gate.

Qin Meng mounted his horse and was about to set off when he saw a figure approaching.

"Brother, but go out to kill the enemy? My weapon is already in hand, this time, should you take me there?" Hao Meng carried the special Mo knife and appeared in front of Qin Meng with great excitement.

"What are you doing? Leave it to me."

Qin Meng wanted to quit Hao Meng, but he didn't want Hao Meng to say nothing and not agree: "Brother, don't be shameless, you can all agree, saying that I can kill the enemy with you if I have weapons. How can I talk? ?"

Seeing Hao Meng’s voice getting louder and louder, Qin Meng really wanted to kick Hao Meng into the ditch, but it seemed that Hao Meng was stubborn this time, and the noise would surely disturb others and let people catch this kid. , Who can control this stupid boy? (End of this chapter)
