"Mr. Hui, whether the scouts are infantry or cavalry is set according to the location. If they are in the border army, because the Tibetans, Uighurs, and Northern Liao they face are all cavalry. Therefore, the scouts equipped are, Usually the cavalry is the main force. Otherwise, the enemy will already be in front of you before your scouts come back."
"But in the interior, one is that the local guards generally do not have cavalry, and the other is that there is no need for it. The interior guards are only used to suppress bandits, and equipping cavalry is a bit too luxurious. Therefore, most of the guards' scouts in the interior are infantry. Lord. As far as the general knows, the garrison at Hulao Pass mainly guards the pass and is not equipped with cavalry for command, so the scouts are all infantry."
"But your lord, what Mr. Fan said is exactly what the general is most puzzled about. According to convention, regardless of whether the garrison at Hulao Pass rebels or not, they should follow the customized wartime requirements, which means that both inside and outside the pass should be released fifty miles away. Scouts, this is still the rule set by the King of Guilin back then."
"But I haven't seen any of the last generals today. It stands to reason that Jiang Dutong is also a man who has been in battle for a long time. He should not make such a low-level mistake. You know, this kind of mistake is very important in battle." Sometimes it can be fatal. However, the terrain here is complicated, so maybe it’s not impossible that we didn’t discover it.”
After Captain Zhao finished speaking, Fan Jian over there said in a deep voice: "No, there are two possibilities. One is that the people who released the scouts consciously left a gap here. Or these three people were there. The disappearance in the pass has caused a certain amount of confusion in the pass. Now that Jiang Dutong is busy putting out the fire, he may not care about this aspect."
"According to what Dalong said, these three people are definitely holding important positions in the pass right now. When a military attache of this level disappears and will not go back for a day and a night, at least their immediate subordinates cannot help but lose their military morale, especially at this time. This That leaves a gap for us to take advantage of.”
"Jian estimates that Jiang Dutong still dare not say clearly that these three people have been assassinated by him. At most, he can find an excuse to say that these three people are missing, and try to appease their subordinates. If he really controls Even if all the troops stationed at Hulao Pass are eliminated, these three people will not die here."
When Fan Jian said this, Huang Qiong already understood what he meant: "Sir, I hope that I can use this person to control the entire garrison at Hulao Pass. The military morale of these three subordinates has been triggered by the unexplained disappearance of their commanders." Floating. When Jiang Dutong was busy putting out the fire, he was captured and killed in one fell swoop?"
"The prince is indeed a wonderful man. You can understand the purpose of the sword when you say this. Previously, Dingyuan Houban of the Later Han Dynasty had an envoy to the Western Regions. With only thirty-six soldiers, he dared to rush into the camp of the Huns envoys and capture and kill their envoys. This laid the foundation for The overall situation of the Western Region. Later, the king of Guilin County of this dynasty dared to enter Tongzhou with less than 300 guardsmen, and captured and killed the Tongzhou defense envoys who turned traitor. Only then did the great victory in Guanzhong occur."
"Now the prince is holding Shang Fang's sword, and he has the holy order to control the generals. He has five hundred fine cavalry in his hands, and he is assisted by masters like Dalong and Brother Liu. Sword, please ask the prince, do you dare to follow the example of Ban Dingyuan and Guilin County Prince? , the feat of a lone army going deep into the tiger's den, directly capturing and killing the general of Chiang Kai-shek, and taking Hulao Pass to open a passage for the army."
"Jian believes that the Hulao Pass garrison will never be willing to rebel. Otherwise, Chiang Kai-shek would not jump over the wall in a hurry and risk the morale of the army to get rid of these three military attaches. As long as the prince acts quickly, Jian believes that Hu The overall situation is safe after being imprisoned." At this point, Fan Jian looked at Huang Qiong in front of him and stopped talking.
"Your Majesty, I will firmly oppose Mr. Fan's plan. If there is really a change in Hulao Pass, we are only five hundred light cavalry, and the army under the command of Yudu will not arrive until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. If Jiang Dutong really changes, The five hundred of us are just willing to rebel."
"As a general, as a general, he earns his salary from the court and is loyal to the king. Besides, as a soldier, it is his duty to die on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather. But the prince is a noble man and does not know how to fight. If you are in danger, Xiaoqi How can Ying have the face to meet the emperor and the world?"
Without waiting for Huang Qiong's answer, Captain Zhao first expressed his firm opposition. Before his arrival, Commander Yu of the Xiaoqi Battalion had repeatedly told him that the King of England must not make any mistakes when he came to Hulao Pass this time. Otherwise, Xiaoqiying would not be able to explain to the emperor, nor to the people of the world, nor even to himself.
What's more, Huang Qiong is currently dressed as a scholar, which makes Captain Zhao think that the King of England is just a talker and is just a scholar in the final analysis. As the saying goes, he who is useless is a scholar. If these scholars can go into battle and kill the enemy, what else do they do as military attachés?
I'm afraid they wouldn't even dare to look at killing a chicken. To have sex with a woman, it is estimated that the scholar and the prince will have to rely on the help of the maid behind him, so it is better to stay behind and strategize. As for the rough work of carrying your head to the battlefield to fight and kill, it's better to leave it to their generals.
Moreover, Huang Qiong must not take this risk, except Captain Zhao. To this day, I still have lingering fears about Huang Qiong’s last assassination. If it weren't for Huang Qiong's strong guarantee in front of the emperor, Wang Dalong's head would probably have been moved, and Liu Hu, who is now Huang Qiong's personal bodyguard.
It can be said that except for Fan Jian who put forward this opinion, and Huang Qiong who has never expressed his position. At present, the people who agree and oppose can almost be said to be one-sided, and no one supports Fan Jian. However, in the face of almost everyone's objections, Fan Jian was neither annoyed nor explained anything. He just looked at Huang Qiong, who was silent in front of him, with a faint smile.
Seeing that almost everyone around him was firmly opposed to Fan Jian's plan, Huang Qiong was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to stop the chatter of those around him and said: "Can Hulao Pass be controlled by the imperial court?" , is the key to whether our army can successfully counter the rebellion this time. Regardless of whether this trip is dangerous or not, one thing is obvious, that is, there must be no mistakes at Hulao Pass."
"Now that Jiang Xin has killed the military attache at the pass, his behavior is no different from open rebellion. If we can't take advantage of his unstable foothold to recapture the pass. With the terrain of Hulao Pass, Xiaoqi battalion will have to pay a lot of effort to retake it again. How much could have been avoided? If it is because of my own safety that I have to pay such a huge price, I'm sorry, but I can't bear it."
"Besides, you are receiving salary from the imperial court, so you should be loyal to the imperial court and share your worries with your father. Then, we princes, who have been enjoying the splendor and wealth given by the heavenly family since the moment we fell off the grass, shouldn't we be even more loyal to the imperial court and share our worries with the emperor and father? Share your worries with your father. We were raised by our parents when we were frozen to death. Are we superior to you just because we were born in heaven? Isn’t this a big joke?"
"At this time of crisis for the country, as a descendant of the Tian family, I should set an example for the world. When Emperor Taizong followed Taizu in raising an army, wasn't the situation much more dangerous than it is now? Emperor Taizong, didn't he always fight for the first time? On the front line, why have we ever flinched? Although we and other future generations cannot compare with the prowess of Emperor Taizong back then, we dare not be too inferior."
"It is true that the Tian family has a few unworthy descendants now. But who can guarantee that there will not be a few unworthy descendants in the Tian family? Maybe others will shrink back at this time, but I am definitely not that kind of person. Although I dare not compare myself with Emperor Taizong back then, I still ask myself that the blood of my ancestors has not been completely lost."
At this point, Huang Qiong paused and said: "As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs? You are all veterans. Fighter opportunities are fleeting. I don't need to say more to you here. Who can Can you guarantee that the fighter planes are 100% accurate? In my opinion, if the so-called fighter planes dare to make up their mind to take a gamble, then they are fighter planes."
"If he doesn't have the courage to gamble, then he is nothing. Sometimes, only those who dare to take risks can win the battle. Those who behave well on the battlefield cannot win the battle. Although I am not very proficient in military affairs, But one thing I can guarantee is that I will never become Song Xianggong."
"What's more, I will never sit back and watch my brothers fight hard, while I hide behind and enjoy my leisure time. You are all my brothers, and from now on, you are my brothers who share life and death. Who shares our safety, and who is in the same boat through thick and thin, Wherever you are, I will be there. As long as one of you is still here, I will never take a step back."
"There are loyal bones buried everywhere in the mountains, so why return them wrapped in horse leather? As long as this rebellion can be quelled as soon as possible and the suffering of the people of Li can be alleviated. Not to mention that the front is only a Hulao Pass, even if it is an abyss, I will go there. Let’s go. I also hope that you, Xiaoqi Camp, will not live up to your reputation.”
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, everyone around him fell silent. But a few people who are familiar with his character know that since he said this, it is already irreversible, and it can even be said that there is no room for change. And those sergeants of the Xiaoqi Battalion who were not familiar with his character were even more excited by his words.
After a brief silence, Lieutenant Zhao saw that the matter had come to this, and he had no choice but to express his position. He was the first to stand up and said: "Since the prince is so determined, Zhao Wushu is now waiting for the prince's orders. As long as the prince gives the order, Zhao Wushu and his five hundred soldiers promise to fight wherever they want, and there will never be half a cent. Hesitate. If it doesn’t matter, it’s really a bear bag, let the prince handle it.”
After Lieutenant Zhao was the first to express his attitude, the other soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion were naturally not willing to be followed, and they all stated that they would obey the command of the British King. Compared with the excited generals of the Xiaoqi battalion, only the guards around Huang Qiong looked worried. As guards, they were more worried about the safety of the British king.
That Chiang Kai-shek dared to kill even the imperial military attache in Hulao Pass. Who can guarantee that he will not attack the King of England? By doing this, Jiang Dutong must have planned to go all the way. At this time, this guy has no intention of leaving a way out for himself, and he might be able to do anything if he is not in a hurry.
Seeing the soldiers of the Xiaoqi camp, Huang Qiong's few words made his blood boil. As the leader of the guards, Wang Dalong was about to say something, but his sleeve was grabbed by Fan Jian. Seeing that it was Fan Jian who was dragging him, Wang Dalong was furious. Although he couldn't punch him, he kept glaring at the instigator angrily.
If this bastard hadn't caused this thing, how could his own prince have put himself in danger? Seeing Wang Dalong glaring at him angrily, Fan Jian just shook his head and smiled without any explanation. Naturally, he knew the reason why Wang Dalong and Liu Hu glared at him.
And he knew better that if the prince hadn't been right in front of him, these two guys would probably have teamed up to give him a good punch. Teach yourself a lesson and let yourself know that the safety of the master is the most important thing. Regarding these two guys, Fan Jian always had an expression of "don't worry, I'll take care of everything".
