Pengcheng, horse stage.
Tan Shao and Tan Zhuan were dressed in military uniforms, standing on the left and right of Yang Mu, who was wearing a large armor. Standing on this high platform built on a hill, they looked at the endless army under the stage, all the way to the north. , straight towards the mountains in the distance, the shining sun, war songs soaring into the sky, within a radius of dozens of miles, there is a soaring fighting spirit, accompanied by the thundering sound of war drums, like an unstoppable long dragon, heading straight to the north!
Tan Zhuan murmured: "The north, Qingzhou, our hometown, is finally going back. Brother, do you still remember, when Uncle Pingling took us south, we almost lost our lives. How could we have imagined that we would still be carrying What about the day when thousands of troops and horses will fight back?"
Tan Shao's eyes were a little moist: "It would be great if Uncle Bottle was still alive today and could still stand here and command the army northward with us."
Yang Muzhi solemnly said: "Two generals, your uncle is a loyal minister and good general of the country. For the sake of the Jin Dynasty, he fought in the south and north, established justice and fought against thieves, and sacrificed his life for the country. I, Yang Mu, admire you so much, and I only regret that I will never have the chance to be with him in this life." Fighting side by side, but with two generals inheriting his legacy, commanding his old troops, and acting as the vanguard of the army, I believe that we will be able to win without loss!"
Tan Zhuan smiled slightly: "Thank you to General Yang for your good wishes, but I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time. It's not our brother's turn to be the vanguard of the army. Just yesterday, the fierce dragon passed through Pengcheng and went to fight with the garrison. Meet General Zhuge in Beiqing Province."
Yang Muzhi's expression changed: "What, the Raptor is back? Why didn't he come to see me? His troops are still here."
Liu Yu's voice sounded faintly from the rear: "Because soldiers are valuable and fast, the Raptors will lead the entire army of cavalry to the north first, pass through Daxian Mountain, and serve as an outpost for the entire army."
Yang Muzhi and the Tan family brothers quickly saluted Liu Yu. They saw Liu Yu majestic and wearing a large armor. Accompanied by more than a dozen generals who looked like tigers and wolves, he strode towards them. They looked at the neat and orderly military officers below the stage, who stretched out as far as the eye could see. The army nodded with satisfaction: "General Sheep, thank you for your hard work. In just a few days, we organized the army and marched north in an orderly manner. It is all your credit."
Yang Muzhi said embarrassedly: "This is a man who belongs to the rank of the last general. I have been guarding Jiangbei for many years. Isn't it just waiting for this day? From the general to the civilian husband, everyone in the army has nothing to do with you, the commander-in-chief." We all have the same idea: I will never return to my hometown until I destroy the Yanlu!"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, I forgot to inform you about the previous things. Firstly, I wanted to keep military secrets. Secondly, I moved too fast and it was too late. Our cavalry concentrated on Zhuge's subordinates in Beiqingzhou, and fiercely The dragon is to lead the cavalry first, bypassing the Shannan states and counties along the way, and go straight through Daxian Mountain, unfold before the Yan army intercepts, explore the way for the army, and seize favorable terrain."
Tan Shao frowned: "However, although the soldiers are very fast, Muling Pass is a natural danger after all. The Yan army is usually heavily guarded. No matter how fast the cavalry is, it is impossible for the enemy to be completely unprepared. We will capture Muling Pass with siege equipment. Even if the Yan army along the way finds out that a large group of our cavalry is passing by, they will light a beacon fire warning."
Liu Yu said calmly: "So, two days before the Raptors set off, the champion general Liu Jingxuan had secretly led his capable men to surprise Muling Pass. Presumably by this time, they should have succeeded. The Raptors and the others were going to pick up Liu Guanjun. of."
Tan Zhuan was surprised: "Is there still such a way to play?"
Shen Linzi next to Liu Yu smiled and said: "Ah Zhuan, how can you and I know that the commander-in-chief uses troops like a god? This time, Suppressing Evil has already followed. If you are slow, I'm afraid you won't get any credit." Stand up."
Tan Zhuan said bitterly: "Huh, in this battle with the Yan bandits, our Shenjian Assault Battalion will definitely make great achievements, but your Shen family's Qingguo Battalion will be of no use against the cavalry. It’s the land of martial arts.”
Shen Tianzi, who was as strong as a bear, laughed: "Okay, let's have a test then. Marshal, let's set off quickly. If we go late, the dragon will really kill all the swallow thieves, and we will only have Came back empty-handed."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly, and he strode towards the audience: "Speed up the march, I want to see Muling Pass within three days!"
Daxian Mountain, Muling Pass.
A large Yan army flag with the word "Duan" written on it was cut off by a few big men in full armor and with rope hooks around their waists, and was thrown down the city wall. More than a hundred athletes at the top of the city burst out into laughter. There were cheers, but more than a dozen dejected prisoners of the Yan army, wearing only single clothes, lowered their heads in fear and begged for mercy.
Liu Jingxuan was very proud. He looked at Wang Zhene who was silent on the side and smiled: "Zhene, as expected by the commander-in-chief, the Yan army did not even guard the Muling Pass, leaving thirty old and weak soldiers to guard the pass. , actually withdrew all Shannan’s troops. If we had known earlier, we wouldn’t have had to put in so much effort and could have captured it one day earlier.”
Wang Zhene frowned slightly: "Champion, I'm afraid this is not good news. According to the prisoner's account, the day before yesterday Duan Hui led 5,000 soldiers and horses to leave the prefectures and counties in Shannan and retreated to Linqu in southern Shandong along the Daxian Mountain Road. This It shows that they evacuated on their own initiative. They already knew the movements of our army, and they obviously chose to lure us deeper."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "After all, a large army was used in this battle to annihilate the country. It is impossible to avoid leaking the news at all. Besides, judging from the last Nanyan raid, we probably have a lot of their soldiers here. Eyes, probably when the three armies gathered towards Pengcheng, they knew that we were going to send troops. We traveled all the way through the stars and nights, and they couldn't have moved faster than us."
Wang Zhen'e sighed: "The imperial meeting decided to destroy Yan, and it took more than ten days before the commander-in-chief went to Guangling for a military meeting. This time was enough for Nanyan to get information. Our internal affairs are not monolithic, especially There are probably people above the court who are secretly collaborating with the enemy. I’m afraid, we have to change our previous thoughts and cannot enter lightly."
Liu Jingxuan frowned: "Zhen evil, what's wrong with you? At the Marshal's place, you were the first to suggest that you take the initiative to send troops to capture Muling Pass. Now that Muling Pass is in our hands, why? Why are you hesitating instead?"
Wang Zhene said sternly: "Because the previous suggestion was based on the situation that the Yan State did not know the movements of our army and attacked suddenly. I wanted to attack Muling Pass by surprise, cut off the retreat of the Yan army in Shannan, and eat him first." Thousands of troops, and if the Yan army in Shannan was unprepared, it means that the Yan army in the north of Daxian Mountain and Linqu was also unprepared, which is why it was sudden. Now that the Yan army is obviously prepared, and even withdraws all Shannan troops, then it is obvious that the plan We have to make adjustments accordingly, it’s best to wait for the commander’s army to arrive before making plans.”
Meng Longfu's voice sounded from behind the tower: "Why do you say this when suppressing evil?!"
