709 The Battle of An Lushan 2
Tang Shang has now stopped at Linshui Town in Xushui. This is the nearest road from the north to the north. Tang Shang also let other people go to other places, in order not to let Anlu Mountain go away. He didn't know Hou. After Qi and the others attacked, will An Lushan and his party go here again? Regarding whether Hou Qi and the others can wipe out An Lushan and his party, Tang Shang didn't think that Hou Qi and others would be able to do so, as some people would rush out, so he could only make a larger encirclement on the periphery.
To the north, Tang Shang led people to intercept, and to the west, Lu Zhengcheng led people to ambush. He took more than a hundred people to Gu County and waited there, while Gao Yan also brought more than a hundred people to set up ambushes in Wuxing County and guard the east. The road, thus, surrounded on three sides, plus the people on Hou Qi's side, even if An Lushan escapes, no matter which road he takes, he will not be able to escape. This is what Tang Shang and others prepared for those who escaped. They all know that there is only one chance, once they miss a hit, it is impossible to find another chance, so their siege must be successful this time.
Linshui Town is not too big, but there are many inns in the town, so it is very suitable to stay here. There were not too many people around Tang Shang, only over a hundred people. The three inns arranged all of them. They have been here for two days, and the news that Hou Qi brought to them has been received. Knowing that Hou Qi and the others will do it tomorrow. If someone gets out of the way, they will meet them tomorrow afternoon, so Tang Shang sent someone to pass the news to Lu Zhengcheng and Gao Yan at noon today. Wait now. The messenger reported back.
Before nightfall, the people sent came back, and things had been explained. Lu Zhengcheng and Gao Yan also prepared their subordinates and waited for them to come. Tang Shang also immediately sent an order for his subordinates to start the final preparations. They have already figured out the terrain here, and the rest is the messenger. Tomorrow it will depend on the performance of their team.
As for both Lu Zhengcheng and Gao Yan, they were prepared in the same way. Anyway, in one sentence, no one can escape. In fact, they also knew that the most difficult thing was Hou Qi and the others. What they wanted to kill was a regular army of nearly 500 people. This difficulty was not small.
After entering the territory of Gaoyang County, An Lushan and his party did not head towards the county seat, but stopped at the Chengxi Station. Mazi's subordinates dressed up as rangers and followed until they saw the brigade entering the station, they rushed forward to report to Hou Qi, according to the current situation, I am afraid that before noon, Anlushan and his party will go to the horse raising station , They must inform Hou Qi in advance so that he can be fully prepared.
Mazi didn't get the exact news until almost midnight, and he also knew that Hou Qi had made arrangements, and everything was waiting for tomorrow. Through so many days of news transmission and inquiries, he also knew that An Lushan and his party were not easy to deal with. If they want to reduce the number of dead people, then he has to make further preparations. After all, he is still twenty miles away from the West Station. If Hou Qi moved his hand, if he slows down, he won't be able to help much.
In the west station of the city, An Lushan had just returned to the room after having dinner, and hadn't drunk the tea just as soon as he had it in his hand. Shi Siming came over. After seeing him a week later, he said: "Marshal, the deputy general joined the army. So, the caravan behind us didn’t enter the city, but stopped in the field twenty miles away, and they also sent people to patrol outposts four miles away. It’s not like a caravan, but they also counted with us. Japan, can we take them down?" New Bayi Chinese Network first published https://https://
The caravan behind him, Shi Siming was displeased early. At first he really thought it was a caravan, but later found out that the team would keep a distance of nearly twenty miles from them anyway, even if they speed up their pace. , This team is still the same, this has to make people suspicious, otherwise, Shi Siming would not send elite scouts to investigate.
"King Gan, are you worrying too much? This is the ground of Zhuojun, not to mention it is here, even if it is elsewhere, with hundreds of elites in our hands, are you still afraid? This is not like the brother I have known since I was a child, You should know how many of these talented people, here, who else would dare to do something to us? It's okay to be careful, but it's too careful. It's not right to be suspicious if there is trouble. In my opinion, They said that it was not because they had put in more important goods. They were afraid of encountering problems on the road. They saw our brigade marching forward. They followed us all the way to Zhuo County. They probably thought that if they were in trouble, they could get rid of them by our hands. The predicament is over, what do you think?"
What An Lushan said was reasonable, and it was the most plausible explanation. After all, everyone believes that it is impossible for a bad guy to follow an army of hundreds of people stupidly, and there are three hundred cavalry in this army. Don’t say such a team has dozens of people, even hundreds of people will not. What kind of factual deterrence was caused to this army, otherwise An Lushan would not think Shi Siming was too worried.
Shi Siming didn’t know what An Lushan said, but he always felt something was wrong. There were a lot of rangers along the way, which always made him a little alert, but An Lushan’s words were right, they were nearly five hundred. People are all elite, and here is his own territory, even if someone dares to take advantage of him, but what is the difference between this and death? Thinking of this, he didn't say much. After all, they are quick. , You can rush to Zhuojun County City in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.
"What the commander said is, I am afraid I think too much. It is not too early now, so I retired first, and the commander can rest well."
Just as Shi Siming was about to turn around and leave, An Lushan stopped him, "King Gan, don’t leave in a hurry. I’m thinking about one thing these few days, that is, the birthday of the imperial concubine is coming soon. I should give some. What is it as a gift? Come and help me come up with ideas."
An Lushan was very concerned about this matter. In Chang'an, he had already instructed An Qingzong to give him a gift, but he always felt that he had to give another gift. Shi Siming also knew about this, he said: "The imperial concubine doesn’t like Jin Baozhu Cui very much, but she loves His Royal Highness Cheng Wang very much. Poor things can make the empress even more happy, but there are only seven days in this time, is it too late?"
"It's too late, of course it's too late, six hundred miles in a hurry, it will be there in four days, but it will be in time."
"Okay, handsome, I'll leave." Shi Siming left the room after a speech. He had to patrol the outpost here for one or two before going to bed. This is a habit, let alone he has He found something wrong, even if it didn't, he would still be like that. The most important thing is to be careful when going out. (End of this chapter)
