"General, the other party sent someone to say that these war horses are to be dedicated to the new dynasty in Hedong. If we attack and take them by force, wouldn't we offend the court?" After hearing the order, a subordinate immediately reminded him cautiously.
"Do you believe such nonsense?" A hint of obvious fear appeared on his face, and the bandit commander retorted: "They are obviously national traitors who have taken refuge with the Khitan people. In order to save those horses, they deliberately lied and deceived us. !”
The more he spoke, the more certain Liang Hui's tone became. But obviously, he also went through a lot of struggle in his heart. After all, there are so many war horses right in front of your mouth. It is too tempting. If you don't eat it, it will be difficult to settle down.
"What if what they say is true? Then aren't we robbing the imperial court?" His subordinates obviously couldn't grasp Liang Hui's mentality and asked a bit bluntly.
His face twitched, and the handsome man wanted to slap this ignorant man, especially when he looked at his "stupid" face. Taking a deep breath and suppressing the impulse, Liang Huiyan said insincerely: "If that is the case, I will personally dedicate it to Hedong. We are waiting for the rebels just to protect these horses so as not to be confused by them and let them run away. Got these thieves..."
"Okay, don't say any more, just give the order!" After saying this, Liang Hui was too lazy to talk nonsense and ended the conversation forcefully.
Liang Hui was originally from Fuyang, Cizhou. He had been a thief in the local area due to poor life. The Khitan invaded south, and all the states in Hebei were invincible, and Cizhou was no exception. After Liu Zhiyuan became emperor and the edict against thieves was spread to the world, he began to think about it.
After settling down for a while, I secretly inquired about the situation in various places. As the news that heroes continued to raise troops to kill the Hu bandits and Zhanzhou County came to my ears, I couldn't help it anymore, so I gathered the followers and raised flags to raise the flag.
The Cizhou bandit who came down from the mountain did not do anything to disturb or harm the people for the first time. He had committed no crime all the way. In addition, he was fighting the Khitans, so he forced him to pull up a team of more than 2,000 people and go straight to Fuyang.
With the secret support of Li Gu, the governor of Cizhou, some weapons and equipment were accumulated, but they were not enough. It happened to be discovered that in Xiangzhou and Anyang in the south, there were a large number of ordnance and armor accumulated in the treasury, and the defenses were empty. Almost without thinking, Liang Hui led the "rebel army" he pulled up and headed straight for Anyang.
The result was naturally optimistic. Anyang City was defeated by him in one battle. The Khitan military officials and the few weapons in the city were taken by Liang Hui, and he quickly expanded another wave of troops.
Anyang and Linli are actually not far apart, the straight-line distance is only a hundred miles. Liu Chengyou led his army to the east without much fanfare. He focused on the Khitan army in the south and did not pay attention to Anyang, so he received the news one day late.
The intelligence construction of the Cizhou thieves' "rebel army" is even further behind, or in other words, they don't have that awareness at all. After capturing Anyang, it can be described as ecstasy. He sent messengers to various counties and ordered them to surrender. When he sent troops south to prepare to take over the prosperous Tangyin County, traces of Luo Yanyu's transportation team were also discovered.
Then, it developed to the current situation. After coming to the west, we received news that the Hedong court sent troops to the east.
In fact, even now, Liang Hui still couldn't help but hesitate. He raised an army, and the tiger skin in Hedong was finally going to be used as a banner. However, this time...
However, a trace of hesitation in my heart was quickly extinguished. As long as he moves quickly enough, Hedong will have nothing to say. As long as he is strong enough, the court will have to win over him.
Liang Hui is a powerful commander in Zhao. He may not have far-reaching knowledge or may be greedy for profit, but his ability to pull together a team in a chaotic situation has its own merits. Long swords and broadswords, strong soldiers and horses, these "hard truths" that have been passed down for decades, he still understands.
Under Liang Hui's order, the "rebels" were ready to move. However, when they were slow to prepare and before launching an attack, the attack plan was declared aborted.
"General, no luck, an army has arrived from the west!" A scout came to report in a hurry.
His face changed slightly. Liang Hui was not too stupid. Even though he had some guesses in his mind, he still couldn't help but confirm: "What flag? How many people are there?"
"It should be the army from Hedong, there are more than a thousand people!"
His expression suddenly became serious, and Liang Hui fell silent.
"General, are you still going to attack?" one of his commanders asked in a confused tone.
"Idiot!" Liang Hui scolded him mercilessly, and then ordered: "Stop the attack. Please tell me, no action is allowed without my order."
"Well..." After a pause, he pointed to the subordinate who reminded him before and said, "Go and ask the other party about his purpose."
...
Liu Chengyou originally planned to send a battalion of sergeants to respond, but this morning, after receiving the unexpected situation from Han Tong for the second time, he made a move and personally brought people here.
The officers and soldiers of the First Army were fully equipped, marched vigorously, and maintained a strict formation, approaching the "rebel" camp. Although there were not many troops, their well-trained appearance put great pressure on the opponent, especially when Ma Quanyi waved the command flag in his hand, the whole army suddenly let out a loud roar, like thunder from the sky, majestic and violent, echoing in the air. In this mountain forest.
Even before the fight, they had already achieved an overwhelming victory. Liang Hui huddled among the rebels, looking at the Longqi Army who boldly forced themselves in front of their own camp. He made a silent comparison in his mind. The comparison turned out to be very unfriendly. He should not be his opponent. He immediately put an end to any plans for a military confrontation and prepared for "peace." solve.
In front of the battle, Liu Chengyou was also under heavy defense, but he still cherished his life. Han Tong sent people to contact him early. The "rebels" had no way and no intention of blocking the town. At this time, Ye Ye and Luo Yanxuan led the knights out of the gate, preparing to cooperate with Liu Chengyou's attack.
"Go back and tell your general that you are here to deal with the Khitans. These war horses are for our army. Thank you for escorting us all the way. Now retreat..." In front of the army, he swept the worried man , Liu Chengyou said calmly, with a calm tone that showed no doubt.
Without giving him a chance to speak, he ordered someone to send him away.
"Your Highness, these grass bandits are so audacious that they dare to attack our army. Why bother to be polite to them? As long as you give the order, the general will dare to issue a military order and defeat them within half an hour!" Ma Quanyi took the initiative beside Liu Chengyou. suggested.
"I naturally believe in Quan Yi's brave strategy. Even if the opponent is twice as strong, he will not be your opponent." Liu Chengyou said calmly: "However, they are 'rebels' after all. The warriors who responded to the emperor's call are also common 'Friendly forces' against the Khitans."
"At the moment, dealing with the Khitans is the top priority. It is difficult for us alone to cause too much trouble to the Khitans. We need to unite all the forces that can be united. If we easily mobilize the army because of this conflict, It will make the world shy away from the heroes from Hedong, so don’t let the small lose the big..."
Liu Chengyou's words seemed extremely calm and concerned about the overall situation. But when it comes out of his mouth, there is always a faint feeling of disharmony.
