25,000 Beifu troops, a suona team that had been training for three months, and a blank check for a "100,000 army" stunned the Pasha tribe, who had been divided to only 10,000 defenders. Guining.
A sturdy ship was connected from the south bank of the Cangjiang River to the north bank, linked by chains, and the sampans overlapped each other. A troop transport bridge was established since then.
Shi Tingyun jumped off the floating sampan lightly and stomped off the black mud from the soles of his feet.
He asked one of the pro-militaries who joined the army: "How was the battle?"
"As the Major General expected!" Joined the army and said happily, "Pasha left the city and went to Changling to find his main army."
Shi Tingyun nodded, and did not forget to lift Yu Fengmian: "It is up to the military advisor to offer advice."
The serious strategy of covering the ship with black mud to avoid fire attack was indeed designed by Yu Fengmian.
As for Wang Ba and Suona, including what the Beifu Army is doing now, it is Chi Xiaochi's idea.
… After the Beifu army gained the upper hand, Shi Tingyun signaled his soldiers to light wolf dung on the south bank.
After receiving the signal, the 200 soldiers who were waiting upstream early released their boats into the river.
As the boat went down the river, two hundred people beat drums on the river and shouted, "Guining is defeated!! Pasha is dead!!"
Chi Xiaochi was very proficient at mocking his opponent with his full-server horn.
So far, it's a chain.
Chi Xiaochi trusted Chu Ziling to inform Chu Ziling of the correct military situation in order to pull him into the plan.
Having experienced the incidents of Aisha and Wu Yichun successively, with Pasha's suspicions, it is impossible to fully trust Chu Ziling's intelligence.
Pasha knows the strengths and weaknesses of the three cities. Therefore, he will never believe that the Beifu army will attack from the front. After Changling, they waited for an opportunity to attack the Keka Department.
Pasha's temperament is like a wolf, one is cautious and the other is greedy. Once he has obtained information, he will never take the credit for others. He vows to take all the advantages, which can not only show the incompetence of Keka, but also eat the vain attempt to "sound east and west". "The main force of the Beifu Army.
Therefore, he will definitely send the main force to wait for the rabbit near Changling, but he doesn't even realize it, the strong and weak sides of the confrontation have unknowingly lost their size.
Gui Ning, the most powerful of the three cities, has actually become a weakness.
Chi Xiaochi asked Xiaoqiying to spend three months buying and training horses, in order to drive the horses to raise dust near Changling on the night of the plan, creating the illusion that the army was overwhelmed.
And he took advantage of the south wind and led his army across the river.
The gongs and drums were blaring, firecrackers were blaring, red flags were fluttering, and there were huge crowds.
He came with a main force of 25,000 "feinting".
The situation was just as Pasha had expected. Changling, Guining and Daocheng were at odds with each other. If one of them was attacked, the other two would inevitably send troops.
Now, the main force separated by Pasha should also feel that they have hit the east and west.
The number of Keka's troops is not large, there are 15,000 soldiers and horses. When they find that Guining has fallen, they will lead the main force to rescue them, not to mention the whole nest. At that time, there will be no more than 5,000 people left behind in the city.
However, the total number of troops mobilized by the Beifu Army this time is 34,000.
Twenty-five thousand people were the main force in the cross-river attack, while the rest were watching Changling in the dark, waiting for the opportunity of emptiness in the city.
The so-called strategy is naturally impossible to cover everything.
If Pasha resolutely does not abandon the city, or has the ability to stabilize the disturbed military heart, stay in Guining, and wait for someone to come to help, then Chi Xiaochi can only immediately order the main force of the Beifu army to detour, avoid its edge, and copy Keka's hometown. , can also take this to setback Pasha's spirit.
But unfortunately, Pasha is a cautious and life-threatening person.
He didn't dare to bet on whether Shi Tingyun really brought 100,000 troops, and he didn't dare to pin his hopes on the low morale of the Southern Border sergeant, so he had to abandon the city and find his main force in order to kill a carbine.
Therefore, he directly threw a Guining City with its doors wide open to Shi Tingyun.
Shi Tingyun commanded: "Quickly occupy Guining, consolidate the city's defense, order 10,000 soldiers and horses, put on the previously prepared clothes, and prepare to fight!"
The army said yes, and hurried down.
Shi Tingyun took a few steps and looked around.
A colonel following Shi Tingyun wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Major General, when there is a commotion over Changling, the tens of thousands of troops from the southern border between Guining and Changling will surely die. If it is abolished, the head and tail will not be taken care of, morale will be damaged, and there will even be infighting over which side to rescue first. But... how should the 20,000 people in Daocheng deal with it?"
Shi Tingyun looked up at the position of the moon and said, "Don't worry. According to the time, my full-service horn should also drive to Daocheng."
Colonel: "...What's yours?"
"General Suo Xiang of Daocheng is a well-known suspicious person." Shi Tingyun took a serious tone, "Do you think that if he heard that Changling and Guining had been damaged, he would continue to lead the army, regardless of the situation. Go to Guining to kill, or go back and squat in your own nest and be optimistic about your eggs?"
"You mean... ?"
"I sent 1,000 people to follow his path and go around Daocheng to beat gongs and drums to send warmth."
He looked around again: "The military plane is fleeting. If Suobu sticks to Daocheng and does not send reinforcements before dawn, then I can make both Changling and Guining surnamed Yan."
When the voice fell, he finally found the person he was looking for in the crowd of people.
Renqing, the bodyguard of the Thirteenth Prince.
Shi Tingyun stepped forward quickly and grabbed his arm: "Where's the Thirteenth Prince?"
Renqing's face turned pale: "Major General Hui Shi, my subordinates don't know... After the war, the Thirteenth Prince and his subordinates were separated. Just now his subordinates heard that the Thirteenth Prince had captured a Pasha's personal soldier and asked him to find out. Knowing where Pasha was going, he ordered a hundred cavalry and went after the remaining Pasha soldiers."
"… what?!!"
Shi Tingyun's heartbeat was instantly out of order, no matter how Chi Xiaochi controlled it, his limbs were uncontrollably convulsing and shaking, and the silver armor collided, making a rustling sound.
Ren Qing: "Major General Shi..."
Shi Tingyun didn't wait for him to finish his words, and strode to the front of a tall horse, grabbed the reins, and was about to get on his horse when he saw Yan Yuanheng, covered in blood, jumping in from the direction of the west city gate, with about Fifty riders followed.
He was holding a grapefruit-like thing in his right hand, and when Yuma stopped in front of Yun, he pulled the reins with one hand, letting the horse step on the spot, and then let go of his hand.
A head rolled to the ground.
Pasha's green eyes were still open, and the last emotion reflected in his eyes could not be seen as fear or anger.
Yan Yuanheng wiped the blood on his face and said warmly, "General Shi, I brought Pasha's head, can I get the one hundred gold reward?"
Shi Tingyun's lips twitched twice, he grabbed Yan Yuanheng, threw him off his horse, and sat on him. According to his shoulder, he slapped his head and face twice. Before Renqing could react, he slammed Yan Yuanheng again. He hugged him tightly, resting his head on his shoulder, without saying a word, but his body couldn't help shaking slightly.
The two young people rolled their heads and faces with blood ashes.
Yan Yuanheng didn't expect him to react like this. He was quite at a loss, and he didn't want to stop the cloud when his hands were stained with blood, so he didn't dare to hug him: "Su Chang. I'm fine."
Shi Tingyun screamed in a hoarse voice: "... nonsense!! You are just nonsense!!"
Ren Qing watched from the side, wondering if it was time to remind Major General Shi, and regardless of what happened in private, it was indeed disrespectful for him to scold the Thirteenth Prince in front of the army.
However, Yan Yuanheng didn't mind even half a point.
He explained almost gently: "I set a limit for myself, and I only chased 20 miles. If I can't get anywhere, that's fine. Fortunately, I have caught up with him. There are only more than 80 personal guards around him. It's tough... I want to do something for you. Is this enough."
Shi Tingyun's spirit finally relaxed gradually.
He said, "Enough. Enough."
After another pause, he wiped his face fiercely, stood up, and said to the stunned Colonel: "Go on and ask the soldiers to change their slogans!"
The captain said, "Want to spread the news of Pasha's death?"
"No. Let's not talk about Pasha's life or death." The negative influence of Shi Tingyun's emotions gradually receded, and Chi Xiaochi's smart IQ finally occupied the high ground again, "If you can't find Pasha, it can make them always feel uneasy; Pasha's head hangs out, who knows if they will be provoked, share the enemy, and come to seize the city?"
"What the major general is thinking about. What slogans did the soldiers change?"
Shi Tingyun didn't think about it: "Zhuqika, send it to the king."
Captain: "..." Could you send something else
However, the order has been fulfilled, which has always been the tradition of the Beifu Army. Moreover, this slogan was unexpectedly effective, and the shouting was both smooth and refreshing, so the colonel bowed his hands and stepped down.
Shi Tingyun quickly walked back to Yan Yuanheng, pulled Yan Yuanheng, and went straight to the city: "Yan Yuanheng, I'm afraid it will be a sleepless night, stay here and don't run around. If there is another time, I won't recognize you again. this friend."
Yan Yuanheng took off the iron helmet, held it in his arms, and answered succinctly, "Yes."
… He hugs me.
Su Chang just hugged me.
After being held for about a cup of tea, Yan Yuanheng finally realized this fact and was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
Renqing had been stunned just now, but now Yan Yuanheng is unwilling to let his eyes away from him no matter what.
Yan Yuanheng was very tame. After listening to Shi Tingyun's words, he waited in Guining City's main mansion, holding the iron helmet and twisting the red tassels on it, looking not in a bad mood.
Ren Qing was helpless, but understood him.
Although the Thirteenth Prince is over twenty years old, he is still unmarried, so it is not surprising that he occasionally behaves naively.
He killed Pasha with his own hands, which was really a great achievement. When the news came back, the emperor would be happy and praise him for his bravery.
However, as someone close to the prince, he should also persuade him.
So Renqing said tentatively: "The prince is extremely skilled in martial arts, and Renqing knows it. It's too risky to just act rashly and chase the enemy away. It's no wonder that General Shi is so angry. You didn't see it, and General Shi heard that you were going after Papa. Sand, face and lips are pale."
Yan Yuanheng was speechless.
He saw it, and he could see it clearly up close.
He really wanted Shi Tingyun's hug, and he really felt bad for Shi Tingyun who was so nervous and frightened.
Thinking of this, Yan Yuanheng nodded cautiously: "Yes, only once in a lifetime, never again."
Tonight is indeed a sleepless night.
Two months later, the flags of the Beifu Army were flying in the three cities on both sides of the Cangjiang River.
Guining General Pasha was not good at defending the river and was attacked by the Beifu army into Guining. Pasha wanted to escape, but was slashed by Yan Yuanheng, the thirteenth prince of the Central Plains royal family, with a sword.
General Kekahong of Changling led his troops out of the city to rescue Guining, but his city was empty, and he was taken by the Eight Thousand Beifu army. The army actually took the initiative to attack, and it was wearing southern Xinjiang military uniforms and speaking southern Xinjiang language, like a catfish, flexible and mobile, shuttling through the army and shouting to kill.
Changling was not protected and Guining was lost, but Daocheng Suoxiang tried to protect himself, and the delay was delayed, so as to delay the war opportunity and give the Beifu army a chance to recuperate.
In the later head-to-head battle, Daocheng's 20,000 soldiers lost to the Beifu army, which was continuously increasing. Suo Xiang had to lead the crowd to abandon the city and flee, and returned to the main general of Timur. punishment.
After the war, the Cangjiang River Basin returned to the Central Plains.
In this battle, the only thing Chi Xiaochi was not satisfied with was that Chu Ziling escaped without being caught and hacked to death by his "own people".
But enough.
From start to finish, Chi Xiaochi only used three letters to cut off his entire life.
I heard that he learned about Pasha's death, and he fell seriously ill after returning to the Xiaoqi camp.
Chi Xiaochi was afraid that he would die of illness, so he even went to visit him in person, confirming that he was just in a hurry and couldn't die, so he patted his butt and came back.
After taking over the three cities, he had a lot of military affairs. He was very busy all day, and he had to take time to check Li Yeshu's homework, and he had no time to care about Chu Ziling's mental health.
As long as he doesn't fall down in one breath and suffocate himself to death.
One day, when he was busy in the tent, he heard a sudden voice: "Major General, the special envoy for the emperor's reward is here, and he will go outside the camp immediately. The incense case has been set up, you can quickly change your clothes and come to see you."
Chi Xiaochi did what he said, and with Yan Yuanheng, who was also in the camp, respectfully waited after the incense case, lowered his hands and bowed his head, only waiting for the special envoy to announce the decree.
However, Chi Xiaochi almost laughed after seeing the military boots inlaid with night pearls that the special envoy was wearing.
When he raised his head, it was really Yan Yuanzhao's condescending, half-smiling face.
... but he couldn't smile.
—The suit of armor that Yan Yuanzhao wore was very similar to the one he wore when he died.
After feeling the twitching of Shi Tingyun's fingertips, Chi Xiaochi in his body sighed.
... Shi Tingyun's emotional illness has been committed again.
Fortunately, this time, the situation is not so serious.
At least Shi Tingyun did not lose control, but quietly knelt down to receive the order.
After Yan Yuanzhao read the imperial decree and distributed the rewards, he happily dragged Shi Tingyun into the camp, and took him to look at him: "It's good that there are no shortage of arms and legs."
Yan Yuanheng looked at Yan Yuanzhao holding Shi Tingyun's hand and did not speak.
Shi Tingyun smiled: "You don't expect me well."
"Is it not conscience?"
They hadn't seen each other for nearly half a year, and the two only talked a few words, and then they automatically returned to their close friend's acquaintance. Yan Yuanzhao peeled off his coat and pressed his chest: "Come, I will touch your conscience for you, you said, In the past six months, Master Liu has been writing letters to you and sending you things, are you treating you well?"
Shi Tingyun: "That's it."
Yan Yuanzhao: "Yes, I will know. I can still hear a bark when I feed the dog."
Shi Tingyun: "I dare to ask you to send a handkerchief for women, who are you planning to use for us?"
Yan Yuanzhao: "You don't understand this. Where did I send the veil? It's the incense on the top. The Hongyan incense is made by Jinrou herself, and the fragrance lasts for seven days. I think it's interesting, so I send it to you. A reward."
Shi Tingyun: "I don't have time to smell this, my nose is full of blood all day long."
Yan Yuanzhao: "Isn't that Sixth Master sending charcoal in the snow, just so that you can suppress the bloody aura? ... Well."
He raised his arm and leaned towards Shi Tingyun's nose as if offering a treasure: "You smell, this is Hong Yan Xiang."
Shi Tingyun really leaned over to sniff it.
Yan Yuanzhao said proudly, "It smells good."
Wearing armor and not forgetting to put incense on himself, such a style is indeed what Yan Yuanzhao should be.
Noticing that he was looking at the armor on his body, Yan Yuanzhao stood farther away: "Is this body of the sixth master facing the wind?"
Shi Tingyun smiled and said, "It's not as good-looking as your old clothes and purple robe."
Seeing the two of them go back and forth to talk about friendship, Yan Yuanheng felt very sour in his heart.
He coughed lightly.
Hearing the coughing sound, Yan Yuanzhao seemed to realize that Yan Yuanheng was beside them. He opened his eyes wide and exaggeratedly said, "Ah, isn't this the Thirteenth Emperor's younger brother? Long time no go."
Yan Yuanheng: "... Brother Sixth Emperor. It's been a long time."
Yan Yuanzhao: "I heard that you have made extraordinary achievements, and the royal father is very happy. I also read the letter from Tingyun, and I know that you are valiant, and you are really promising."
With no one left or right, Yan Yuanzhao is not someone who cares about the face of the Tian family, so he put his hand on Shi Tingyun's shoulder, full of intimacy, and sincerely praised: "However, our younger brother Yun is more promising, and can command ten thousand people to fight. The sixth master appreciates your cultivation."
Yan Yuanheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
… In private, Su Chang would write to Brother Sixth Emperor.
Su Chang never wrote to him.
Lou Ying, who was resting in bed in another tent, had a panoramic view of everything, endured and endured, and finally crumpled the book in his hand, sat up straight, and raised his hand to support his right ear.
In the next second, 061's slightly restrained voice sounded in Chi Xiaochi's mind: "... Xiaochi."
Chi Xiaochi suddenly heard Lou Ying's voice and was stunned: "Sir, you can speak now."
Lou Ying: "Come back."
Chi Xiaochi: "Huh?"
Lou Ying's voice softened a little: "...There are some things I want to discuss with you."
