The words of the old man can be said to hit the nail on the head.
The old man broke the whereabouts of Di Qing and his party. If Di Qing left him alone, he would always have worries in his heart.
Worried that the old man would pass their news to the Liao people.
Therefore, in combat, it is very likely to be restrained to prevent ambush.
Di Qing stared at the old man and said, "Lao Zhang, don't worry. I have decided to divide the soldiers into two groups. I will attack Tongtaiguan with ease along the way. I will bring armaments along the way to clear away the remaining Liao soldiers in the four fields.
I won't let Lao Zhang go, but I won't hurt Lao Zhang's life.
Lao Zhang stayed here, ate and lived with my soldiers and horses, and waited for me to take Tongtai Pass, then let Lao Zhang leave. "
The old man smiled bitterly and said to Di Qing, "You baby, your heart is too kind. Although the little old man doesn't know the art of war, he also knows the truth about not being kind. If you act like this, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss.
The little old man following you is a drag after all. "
The old man is very old and his actions are not convenient. In the army, one or two soldiers will inevitably take care of him.
He is in the army, not good for the army, but harmful.
The old man knew this truth, so he wanted to die after he knew Di Qing's purpose.
Di Qing waved his hand, "Lao Zhang does not need to say much, I have decided."
The old man smiled bitterly again, thought about it, and said to Di Qing very generously: "The little old man doesn't eat the food in your army for nothing. You can eat the sheep."
Di Qing was taken aback and nodded, "Okay, I will let the military clerks give you the money for the sheep."
The old man was taken aback, and said seriously: "The sheep are dedicated to you by the little old man."
Di Qing said calmly: "There are military rules in the army, and the people's things must be paid, and the market price must be increased by 10%."
The old man's eyes widened in astonishment, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
As Di Qing led the old man into the mountain nest, he explained: "The new rules in the army, all soldiers and horses must abide by it, set by a few mates in the court.
The offender shall be decisive, regardless of identity or merit. "
The old man murmured to himself: "The men in the court of the Song Dynasty are personalities."
From the time the old man was born to now, I haven't seen that soldier take the people's things to give money.
The soldiers and horses of the Song and Liao countries took the common people's things just as they took their own homes.
There is no point in giving money by taking care of it by tricks.
Occasionally one or two gave money, but after the incident, the generals in the army sent people to compensate.
This is the first time the old man has seen an initiative to give money.
Di Qing led the old man into the nest, and the old man saw a piece of soldiers lying on the grass.
The scene was so spectacular that the old man squinted a bit.
Two lines of clear tears couldn't stop flowing from the old man's eyes.
Seeing this, Di Qing said with an unexpected look: "Why did Lao Zhang cry?"
The old man wiped the tears on his face and said to Di Qing: "They are all good babies, you have to take them well. If you really want to beat them, you should take them and run, don't let them fall into the ambush of the Liao people. ."
Di Qing looked at the old man with a puzzled face.
The old man knew that Di Qing had doubts in his heart, so he whispered: "When the little old man was young, he was conscripted into the army by the Liao people and went to Chenjiagu to help General Yang to collect his body.
Thousands of soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy in Chenjiagukou, helpless with reinforcements, and finally died under exhaustion under the siege of the Liao people.
The little old man has seen the scene of their tragic death, and still feels pain in his heart when he thinks about it. "
Di Qing stared at the old man and said calmly: "Old Zhang, even if we lose in the battle, we will not run away."
The old man stared in amazement.
Di Qing solemnly said: "Before sending troops, Cao Shuai stated clearly that in this battle, either victory or 300,000 erlangs will die together."
Hearing this, the old man shouted in horror: "The Cao Shuai in your mouth is Cao Wei, the son of Cao Bin, the former Envoy of the Great Song Dynasty
Di Qing nodded.
The old man exclaimed: "Sold on 300,000 Erlang's life, he is crazy? His father dare not do this."
Di Qing said solemnly: "This is my Da Song's determination to recover Yan Yun."
The old man couldn't say a word in shock, he could only follow Di Qing to the boulder and sit down in a daze.
Time flies and it's evening.
Di Qing and others started to get up and prepare.
The old man returned to his senses at this time, pulled Di Qing slightly, and asked in a bit of astonishment: "General Di is going to march at night?"
After giving the order, Di Qing nodded to the old man.
The old man said with some worry: "How can a night-blind person in your army see clearly at night?"
The ancients had a single food and lacked a lot of nutrients, so many people suffered from night blindness.
When the old man saw Di Qing and others preparing to march at night, he naturally worried about this.
When Di Qing heard the words, he laughed in a low voice: "Lao Zhang doesn't have to worry about it. Yong Guogong once said that the reason why military lieutenants suffer from night blindness is because there are too few delicious foods.
So after my tiger army became an army, he often sent people to bring us some delicious food.
Today, there are no night-blind lieutenants in our army. "
Kou Ji guessed that he was too lazy to explain the medical theory to Di Qing and others, or he might be afraid that the medical theory he said would not be tenable, so he simply used a lame excuse to explain the matter.
Di Qing and others didn't go into it, so they told the old man the crappy excuse Kou Ji had said.
After hearing Di Qing's words, the old man said suspiciously: "The soldiers in your army really don't have night blindness."
Di Qing nodded and solemnly said: "As long as the moonlight can shine, we can see it."
The old man hesitated when he heard this. After a long time, he hesitated and said: "The soldiers in your army are not afraid of night blindness. Instead, they can try to take a walk to Tongtaiguan.
The Liao people rarely set foot on the trails, so if you follow the trails, the Liao people will certainly not find them.
When you cross the trail and reach five miles outside Tongtai Pass, the Liao people may find you. "
When Di Qing heard this, his eyes widened in astonishment, and stood there for a long time.
After regaining consciousness a little, he almost jumped up without excitement.
He said with a trembling voice: "Lao Zhang means that you know a small path that can hide from the eyes and ears of the Liao people and let us arrive five miles outside Tongtai Pass quietly?"
The old man probably also realized that what he said was very useful to Di Qing, so he said cautiously: "That trail is not easy to walk, there are a lot of shadows, and you will fall into it if you are not careful.
After sinking, nine out of ten people couldn't pull it up.
Liao people like to ride horses and run wildly, but they are not suitable for horse racing, so Liao people seldom go there. "
Di Qing suppressed his excitement and shouted to Peng Yue and the others who came to him: "Tell the soldiers in the army that there is no need to divide the soldiers. Let's rush to Tongtaiguan together tonight."
When Peng Yue and others just walked to Di Qing's side, they were slightly stunned when they heard Di Qing's words.
Di Qing said with a trembling voice: "Lao Zhang knows a trail."
Without saying anything, Peng Yue and the others turned their heads to send orders.
Seeing this, the old man panicked, "You... which path are you going to take?"
Di Qing nodded very surely.
The old man waved his hand again and again, "That's not okay, that's not okay, if some of the dolls get stuck in the quagmire and can't be saved, the little old man will feel guilty for a lifetime."
Di Qing solemnly said to the old man: "In order to win the Tongtai Pass, we will not hesitate."
The old man said with a bitter face: "Then you can send two or three quick feet, who can recognize the way quickly, go one step with the little old man, go back and forth a few more times, and try first."
Before Di Qing could speak, the old man murmured to himself, "You are really innocent, and you don't suspect that the little old man is a bad person. What if the little old man is a spy of the Liao people? What if the Liao army ambushes ahead? What
The little old man first takes people a few more times to get familiar with the road, and instantly let your people see if there is an ambush.
This is appropriate. "
The old man is also an enthusiastic person, thinking very thoughtfully for Di Qing.
In fact, Di Qing also had the intention to send someone to investigate the situation with the old man.
The old man came forward on his own initiative, so Di Qing naturally didn't have to say what he said.
After deciding to copy the trail, Di Qing was also unambiguous, and immediately summoned more than a dozen handy legs from the army, and followed the old man to set off first.
The old man insisted on letting the soldiers in the army support himself on the horse, and then led the scouts to take the first step.
When Di Qing and the others led their soldiers and horses and transported their armaments to the side of the trail described by the old man, the sky was already dark.
The old man already took the scout and walked back and forth in the most dangerous places on the trail.
The most dangerous part of the trail is the front section.
There are several dangerous places in the front section, which are very deadly.
People are trapped, and there is almost no one who can come out alive.
There is not much danger in the middle and later stages.
Therefore, it is not difficult to walk in the middle and back stages.
When the old man led Di Qing and his party into the trail, he specifically instructed Di Qing to dismantle some carriage baskets and remove the wooden boards. When they reached the dangerous places in the middle and the back, they could use the wooden boards to pounce on them to reduce the danger and save the whole process. Fumbling for the time it takes to move forward.
Di Qing and others led soldiers and horses into the trail.
The old man walked in the army.
Every time he passed a dangerous place, the old man stood by the dangerous place, reminding every soldier in the past, where to ask for an idea.
With the enthusiastic help of the old man, the soldiers and horses led by Di Qing passed through the most dangerous place in the front section without any risk.
There is no need to walk so carefully on the road behind.
An old man reminded in advance that the scouts laid planks and the army moved forward quickly.
When passing by the middle section of the road, the sky had begun to light up slightly.
When it came to the latter part, the sky was already bright.
The old man uttered the trail and reached five miles outside Tongtaiguan.
In fact, when Di Qing and his entourage appeared seven miles outside Tongtai Pass, they were spotted by the patrolling Liao soldiers.
"General! The subordinates and others ran into the Liaobing scout ahead and were found."
After being discovered by the Liao soldiers, the army scout ran to Di Qing to report immediately.
When the old man heard this, his face was pale, "How could it be? How could it be? How could it be possible to hit the Liao soldiers in advance?"
The old man thought that he had missed Di Qing's major event, and said guiltily to Di Qing: "Little old man has been walking on this road for more than ten years, and I have never seen a Liao person appear."
Di Qing laughed loudly and said, "Qilidi, that's enough."
Di Qing said to the old man: "Lao Zhang takes care of yourself. I will take the soldiers and rush over. If this battle is won, Lao Zhang should be the first contributor."
The old man stared at Di Qing in a daze, and said in a daze, "Little old man... nothing wrong?"
In this era, many people reiterate their promises, spitting on each nail.
Anything promised will be fulfilled even if it is killed.
Nothing can be worse than what has been promised.
It's your own fault if it's bad.
Even if what he did has nothing to do with him.
The simplicity is distressing.
When Di Qing saw the old man staring at him in a daze, he smiled and shook his head.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still complaining about himself.
Di Qing has no time to care about the old man's mood.
Qilidi.
He led the soldiers under his command to charge, requiring only two sticks of incense.
At the time of Liangzhuxiang, even if the Liao people's scouts sent the news back to Tongtaiguan, the people at Tongtaiguan couldn't respond.
When the Great Song soldiers rushed to Tongtai Pass, the Liao soldiers in Tongtai Pass got the news.
Important ordnance such as rolling logs and slabs were too late to be moved to the city.
Di Qing sat upright on the horseback, covered the mask Kou Ji gave him, and lifted the spear in his hand.
With a wave of the gun head, it pointed directly at the direction of Tongtaiguan.
"Kill it! Break the barrier!"
Di Qing took the lead and rushed out.
The soldiers of the Tiger Army followed Di Qing with their weapons in their hands.
The sound of horse hoofs is like thunder, rolling away.
The old man stared blankly at the soldiers charging past him.
He stood there and murmured: "All are good men, don't die, all come back alive, the little old man will feed the sheep in the future, enlarge the fat sheep for you to eat, no money.
When Di Qing and others rushed out.
The scene of Chen Jiagukou in the past reappeared in front of the old man's eyes.
Thousands of Erlang fell to the ground and died of exhaustion. His chest was pricked into a sieve, which was terrible.
They were lying on the ground, why they couldn't wake up.
There is not a living person.
The blood wetted the loess, and the loess turned into a mass of blood mud.
He looked at it like a knife.
His smallest corpse was only fourteen years old.
The reason why he knew the age of the little guy was because he found a family letter, a deadly book, a deadly book that was infested with blood and could not read clearly in the arms of that little guy.
The little guy didn't even know why he fought. He only knew that he could get some rewards for building merits on the battlefield. After taking it back, he could let his mother and brother eat meat.
But such a little guy who didn't know why he was fighting, didn't take a step back when he tore him with the Liao people.
Knife and arrow wounds are all on the chest, and the back is as white as jade.
He kept the little guy's letter, and he hoped that one day Yan Yun would return to Song Dynasty and he could personally deliver the little guy's letter to his mother and brother.
Naturally, Di Qing couldn't take care of the old man's emotions, and neither could the soldiers of the Tiger Army.
After Di Qing led the charge to initiate the charge, he had no other thoughts, there was only one thought in his mind.
charge!
charge!
Charge again!
