The old east wind comes to dream

Chapter 81

Two days later, the prince and Lian Shi and his party arrived at Zhenxi Pass.But they didn't see Duan Wu, because at this time, Duan Wu had brought 5 horses and rushed to Yunzhou City again.

After the Rong Clan was defeated that day, Duan Wu once sent troops to pursue the remnants, but because of the complicated terrain, Qi Duo finally escaped.

In this attack on Zhenxi Pass, the more than 3 people brought by Qiduo are all veterans of the clan, and the 3 people in the Chinese army are the elite of the elite.Of the remaining [-] guards left in Yunzhou Township, more than half of them are old and young, but they are already the last strength that the Rong people can show.Therefore, Duan Wu didn't dare to delay, and ordered the army to rest for a day, so that he had no time to meet the upcoming crown prince, so he took advantage of the turmoil of the Rong army, and took advantage of the victory to attack Yunzhou City.

When Lian Shizhi heard the news, he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.Duan Wu is indeed a talented general, but in the final analysis, he is still too young, and he still lacks consideration for court affairs.Now the situation is very good, and the strength of the two armies is very different. If you want to capture Yunzhou City and completely defeat the Rong people, it is just around the corner.The battle of Yunzhou was almost the last big battle.In this case, he left the crown prince behind and didn't even meet the enemy. Didn't he want to let this noble man, who took the emperor's personal command, to come here in vain?

When the time comes, how can His Majesty the Son of Heaven, who has such a good face, keep his face?It's really a waste of hard work, but you have to be punished instead!

Thinking of this, Lian Shizhi finally couldn't bear the heart of Duan Wu, a good seedling, to be dragged down by these trivial matters, and seeing the battle report Duan Wu left for the lieutenant guarding the rear, he couldn't help shaking his head, and even more so. With a swipe of a pen in person, the content has been changed a lot.

The lieutenant was obviously a little annoyed.It turned out that Lian Shizhi added one more reason for his victory in the battle report:

"The enemy bandits heard that the crown prince was approaching, and when they went into battle, they lost all courage and had no heart to fight for a long time. They would be defeated in one blow."

When Lian Shizhi saw that the deputy general was hesitant to speak, he knew what he was thinking.With a long sigh, he said: "If you want to keep your general safe, you must report it accordingly." Finally, he couldn't help it, and added a few words: "When dealing with the imperial court, you should also think more about those strategies in the art of war. , do you still remember that too rigid is easy to break?"

The lieutenant was startled, then thoughtful.When Lian Shizhi strode away, he heard the deputy general behind him say loudly: "Humble post, on behalf of my general, thank you old general Lian!"*

As for the itinerary after the prince, Li Guangzhi, the general of the Pingyuan Army, had a disagreement with Lian Shizhi.

According to Lian Shizhi's plan, he can first send the [-] Zhenyuan troops brought this time to support them. After all, these people were brought out by Duan Wu, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. It is enough to have them go.The rest of the Dragoon Guards and Pingyuan Army guarded the crown prince, staying here in Xiguan, and when the battle over there is almost over, they can go there sooner or later.At that time, the crown prince will definitely have a share of the credit, and he doesn't have to put himself in danger, let alone be rushed by the blood on the battlefield and make some orders that are not conducive to the situation.Considering many aspects, this is the best way.

But Li Guangzhi didn't think so.His elder brother was killed by the Rong clan, at this time he was full of hatred, wishing to avenge his elder brother by slaying the enemy with his hands, so naturally he didn't want to hide in the back to enjoy the comfort.It's just that he is only a general, so how can he compare to Lian Shizhi, the chief protector and commander?After much deliberation, Li Guangzhi approached the prince.

The prince is not a person who is greedy for merit and advances aggressively, and he also trusts Lian Shizhi's judgment more.And the fundamental purpose of his coming this time is not to go to battle to kill the enemy, but to quell the war and comfort the army and the people.At the same time, he also knew that he was not familiar with the military formation, so he sent Li Guangzhi back with a few words.

Li Guangzhi didn't dare to offend the crown prince, let alone lead troops out under the crown prince's nose.While he was thinking about it, a personal guard stepped forward and gave him an idea.

After hearing this, Li Guangzhi couldn't help clapping his hands immediately!Many of the soldiers that Duan Wu brought out this time were his elder brother's former subordinates, so he immediately wrote a letter and wrote it according to the idea of ​​the personal guard, so that he could sneak into the scouting horse and head towards Yunzhou in the dark ran to the city.

So, on the second night, a battle report was sent back suddenly from the team that Duan Wu led to attack Yunzhou City.

The Jokhang army was defeated by the Rong people at the city of Yunzhou, with more than half of them killed or injured!

Seeing this battle report, the prince finally couldn't sit still.

Since there was no seal letter from the commander Duan Wu in this battle report, Lian Shizhi advocated sending scout horses to find out the news immediately, and at the same time, the [-] Zhenyuan Army also set off immediately to support Duan Wu first.Wait for Tanma to send the news back before making the next step.

Li Guangzhi saw that the prince's previous anxiety was quite dispelled by Lian Shizhi's few words, so he couldn't help it immediately, and asked for a fight: "Old General Lian, the last general is willing to take the Pingyuan Army with him! The military situation is urgent, and it is clearly written in the battle report." It is clear that more than half of our army has been killed or injured! General Duan took 5 people with him, and now there are only [-] left! The Yunzhou City is extremely strong, and only a large army can attack the city with heavy weapons. Think about it General Duan's defeat this time probably also committed the taboo of underestimating the enemy!"

What he said not only belittled Duan Wu, but even if Lian Shizhi disagreed with him, he would also label him as underestimating the enemy.As Duan Wu's subordinate, Ma Zhengyuan naturally couldn't listen anymore, and frowned displeasedly: "What's the meaning of General Li? General Duan is still fighting the enemy at the front line. I don't know the specific situation. You are just talking empty teeth here." To convict him is to chill the hearts of the soldiers!"

Li Guangzhi choked, he must cooperate with the Zhenyuan Army this time, it is really not easy to offend someone at this time.What's more, Lian Shizhi has a high position and authority. He was really impatient just now, so he didn't think much about it. Now he felt a little regretful in his heart, so he had to slow down his tone and defend himself. "It's the last general who made a slip of the tongue, please don't take it to heart, General Lian and General Ma."

Then he thought of his little actions in it, and worried that Ye Chang had many dreams, so his tone couldn't help becoming anxious again. "Although the last general's words are a bit rough, the truth is still the same. The 6 Zhenyuan army used to support, but it was only a drop in the bucket. I am afraid that a stalemate will occur again and again, which will damage our morale. Besides. In terms of the art of war, one arrow is easy to break, but ten arrows are hard to break! We came here this time with as many as [-] people. And the [-] people who turned from darkness to light, we have a lot of people, so there is no need to worry too much!"

Lian Yongan was upset when he saw him confronting his grandfather face to face several times, so he couldn't help but refute: "General Li is a little too hasty! My grandfather didn't want to divide the troops on the battlefield, but to investigate the situation first. This battle report There is no seal of the commander, so it is difficult to determine whether it is true or not. Qiduo has a reputation for cunning. If he forged this battle report and our army hastily acted, wouldn’t it be a trap? Besides, the 3 people you mentioned, They are not ordinary people, those are surrendered soldiers! The time is short now, let alone reorganize them, even if there are spies among them, how can we take it lightly?"

Li Guangzhi was on fire in his heart, and he still had some taboos towards Lian Shizhi, but he no longer had any worries about Shang Lian Yongan, so he sarcastically said: "Tsk tsk, General Lian is young, but he has a lot of eyes, and he thinks about others." I'm used to thinking about the worst! If the battle report was forged by the Rong people, then why did they go to great lengths to transfer our army? Is it just to die faster?"

Lian Yongan was furious and shouted: "You!" Then he looked at the crown prince and scolded Li Guangzhi: "General Li has forgotten that His Highness is still here now! If you fall into the trick of the Rong people to divert the tiger away from the mountain, His Highness will endanger you." How can you wait!"

Li Guangzhi smiled coldly, then gave a military salute to the prince, and said loudly to Lian Yong'an: "Your Highness is the Taiwei Sage, blessed by God, how dare you slander His Highness as a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" ! You dragoon guards dare not go into battle, but our Pingyuan army is still bloody! You—”

"Enough!" The crown prince could no longer listen to Li Guangzhi's provocative words, and raised his hand to interrupt him.He nodded slightly to Lian Shizhi, and said: "Since General Li is eager to go to battle, why not let him go. There are nearly [-] heavy soldiers guarding the West Pass in this town, and now the dragon knight guards are also there, so it should be no problem. Lian Shizhi What do you think, old general?"

Lian Shizhi couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, but he couldn't refute the prince face to face, so he nodded first and said: "Your Highness is right. Please wait for half a day, and the old minister will go to make arrangements first, and then talk to His Highness after you settle down. "

The prince knew that Lian Shizhi's plan was to delay the attack, but he didn't like Li Guangzhi in the first place, and what he said just now was just to interrupt this meaningless dispute.Looking back now, and looking at Lian Shizhi's attitude, I also realize that I probably made a slip of the tongue.Then he nodded and followed Lian Shizhi's words and said: "Old General Lian is the commander-in-chief this time, and the military formation will naturally be arranged by the old general. What I said is just a suggestion, and you should be cautious in everything, and don't be careless."

Only then did Lian Shizhi feel relieved.

After coming out of the prince's tent, Lian Shizhi immediately sent out the dragon riders to investigate the news according to the original plan, and at the same time, he sent Lian Yongan to find Chu Lan.After doing this, he thought about it, and went to find the deputy general Duan Wu left to guard here.

Li Guangzhi was nothing more than a reckless man, he really stained the reputation of General Li who died in battle!

At this time, Chu Lan was talking to Liu Mulan and Duan Yong in the tent.On the low table, there is a bunch of flower branches with young buds.

She has seen the remaining soldiers of Huang Nie Army and Xiaofeng Battalion, and also went to pay homage to the fallen heroes, now listening to Duan Yong and Liu Mulan's report, she felt as if she was in that tragic battle.

In the cold night, amidst the sudden snowstorm, the neighing of war horses, the roar of warriors, and the piercing sound of swords clashing made the earth tremble.The hot blood sprayed out from the body of oneself or the enemy, and after cooling, it condensed on the face and shoulders, staining the armor red, but turned into armor again.

When Duan Yong said that Liu Mulan's long/spear was thrown and severely injured Qiduo, Chu Lan couldn't help it anymore, and praised: "If you use courage as a sword and a gun, who will say that a woman is inferior!"

Liu Mulan was shaken all over, tears almost welled up in her eyes.Yes, the sisters used their lives and blood to finally let the world see that women are not weak and vulnerable. Similarly, they can also fight on the battlefield and defend their home and country.

So, why can't women have the same identity and status that men can have?

Duan Yong at the side heard what Chu Lan said, and couldn't help but praise: "Not only is he not inferior, compared with Captain Liu, his subordinates can only be ashamed of themselves!"

Liu Mulan was at a loss when Duan Yong said this.Chu Lan nodded slightly, with a faint smile in her eyes, and said, "It seems that the Xiaofeng Camp and Huang Nie Army are a real family now."

Indeed.The establishment of the Laughing Wind Camp is still short, although with Gu Zizhan's previous guarantee, many people no longer have any worries about their status, but after all, they are not as ambitious as the Phoenix Nirvana Army from the very beginning.This time, if they hadn't been driven and encouraged by the Phoenix Nirvana Army, they would not have overcome their fear so quickly and stimulated their blood and fighting spirit.They fought side by side with the Phoenix Nirvana Army, and they also felt the deepest feelings about the determination and courage of these female soldiers, who were not afraid of death.There is no distinction between men and women in my heart, only a sense of camaraderie.

This time, the Huang Nie Army and the Xiaofeng Battalion were despised by Duan Wuli from the very beginning when they participated in the battle as a rebel army. With the exposure of the female identity of the Huang Nie Army, those discussions in Dazhao's army The sound also increased.Even, many of them are ignorant, pedantic and vulgar.The men in the Xiaofeng camp almost wanted to fight those people because of these rumors.

Therefore, they were not accompanied by Duan Wu in the attack on Yunzhou City this time. Firstly, he took care of their heavy losses and needed a good rest.This point, whether it is Chu Lan or Duan Yong and Liu Mulan, can understand.Chu Lan also told them that Gu Zizhan was on his way and would arrive soon.At that time, all of this will change.

At the end of the conversation, Chu Lan saw the hideous wound on Liu Mulan's cheek, and said, "Mulan, the wound on your face is still a little slow to heal, and I will mix some herbs for you later, which will help the wound heal, and it will also help you in the future." Don't leave too deep a scar."

Liu Mulan subconsciously raised her hand to touch the wound, but quickly stopped her hand, shook her head and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. But this scar, good or bad, I don't care at all, even, I want to Keep this scar, so that I will never forget those comrades who died, and never forget the purpose of our journey."

Hearing what she said, Duan Yong on the side couldn't help feeling a little more admiration for this female general.

At this moment, someone begged to see him from outside the tent.

Afterwards, I saw Lian Yong'an striding in, with a sad face on his face, and said: "Madam, I'm afraid I have something to trouble you. You have to persuade our Highness, let's forget it this time, next time, but Don't be softhearted anymore!"
