"Brother, why did you call me here? Can't you wait until brother finishes drinking?"
Gao Ding was still deep in thought when he suddenly found that the curtain was opened, and a fat man with a fat body and a fleshy face walked in carelessly.
The fat man walked staggeringly, and without showing any courtesy to Couture, he casually found a futon at the bottom and sat down.
Seeing this man's behavior, Gao Ding glared at him with dissatisfaction and said with a hint of anger: "Drink, drink, drink. You haven't had enough in the afternoon? I'm here to find you, so I have something to do."
Seeing that Gao Ding was angry, this person did not dare to talk back. He straightened his body, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "What the elder brother taught you is that the younger brother realized that he was wrong."
With this person's attitude, Gao Ding's anger immediately subsided a lot. He gave a heavy hum and said: "Second brother, you and I are brothers of the same mother. Brother Yu has to rely on you to do many things, so don't blame me for being harsh." , In fact, this attack on An is related to the fate of our clan, so we must not be careless."
It turned out that this fat man was called Gao Chong, and he was Gao Ding's second brother. He was often called the Second King in the Soyi tribe. Gao Ding has three brothers. He is the eldest and Gao Chong is the second. They have two younger brothers.
Gao Ding's parents died young, and the four brothers have always supported each other. In the early years, there was someone in the clan who coveted the position of King of Yi of the Gao family, and the four of them worked together to resist, and finally Gao Ding secured the throne.
Therefore, the four brothers have always been very close to each other. Gao Ding appreciates the support of his three younger brothers and always takes great care of them.
However, almost all of Gaoding's three younger brothers have mediocre talents. They used to have some skills in fighting among other tribesmen, but Gaoding's plot has become bigger and bigger in recent years. These three talents are mediocre and they can no longer keep up with the pace of Gaoding. , so Gao Ding did not hand over the heavy responsibility to his brothers for many attacks.
But this time it was different. Gao Ding came with almost all the troops from his clan. In his opinion, at this time of life and death, it was better to leave some things to his brothers for peace of mind.
Among his three younger brothers, he is the only one who has the courage to lead troops into battle.
So after this attack, Gaoding handed over the cavalry to the commander Gao Zhong, in order to put the most elite and precious force in the hands of his own family.
Gao Chong is the brother he can rely on most. Although his martial arts skills are mediocre, his courage to go into battle to kill the enemy is already commendable. However, this man has a hobby of drinking. In the tribe, he drank almost every day and fell unconscious. A few days later, Gao Ding rewarded all the troops, and Gao Zhong drank even more happily.
Gao Zhong had heard these words of Gaoding many times. Although he was a little impatient, he still replied honestly: "Brother is right. I also understand the importance of attacking Anshang this time. If you have anything to do with me, brother, call me here." That’s the order, and I must obey it.”
Hearing his second brother's words, Gao Ding felt much happier and said slowly: "According to the spies' report, the army is building a stronghold in Dingjia Village. Dingjia Village is a place our army must pass through. Yang Qing Xiao'er's move is to prevent us from reaching the border."
"Brother is absolutely right." Gao Zhong also understood this truth and agreed.
"There are still a few days before the army can reach the border of Anshang. I think that these few days will not allow the government to arrange defenses smoothly. Therefore, I want you to lead the cavalry to attack first and go to Dingjia Village to harass the Han people. A certain amount of pressure.”
"That's it." After hearing this, Gao Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the straw mat, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter and let the officers and soldiers of Dingjiacun No peace."
"But brother, wouldn't it be better for me to lead my troops into Anshang's hinterland and turn him upside down?"
When Gao Ding heard this suggestion, he glanced sideways at Gao Zhong and said flatly: "It's not necessary. There are not many people and food between Dingjia Village and Anshang City. It's just a waste of energy to rob people. It's still the same." The priority is to attack and disturb the main camp of Dingjiacun. After all, if we want to capture Anshang City, this nail must be removed."
Gu Ni: "I know, brother." Gao Zhong said weakly.
He originally wanted to lead the cavalry to Anshang to have a big fight, so that his elder brother and others would be impressed, but his brother was so careful and didn't give him too many opportunities to show off, which made him feel frustrated.
In fact, he is also aware of the unfavorable comments about himself in the tribe. Even if his generals are not selected for this war, he plans to take the initiative and vow to let others know how powerful he is.
However, what he didn't know was that the reason why Gaoding didn't let him go deep into the enemy's territory was not because he concentrated all his forces in Dingjiacun. In fact, he knew that his younger brother was brave when he was brave, but he didn't have many military strategies.
Anshang County is the hometown of Yang Qing's son. This guy is full of tricks. If the cavalry is brought under his nose by Gao Zhong, what will happen if the cavalry is not protected?
Therefore, it is better to be cautious and let Gao Zhong attack the Dingjiacun camp, so that the cavalry can withdraw at any time.
There are only more than a thousand cavalry under Gaoding's command, and Li Qiucheng lost several hundred more last time. Now the remaining cavalry in their early 1,000s are his most precious elite combat force. If it weren't for his incompetence, he would even want to personally Commander, so he would never let Gao Zhong take too much risk.
However, his younger brother was very courageous, so he still encouraged him: "Second brother, as long as you have this heart, as long as you remove the nail in Dingjiacun, you can lead the cavalry to gallop later."
"Brother, it's agreed that after the camp in Dingjia Village is breached, I will definitely lead my army to plunder."
Gao Ding nodded: "It's natural." After that, he told Gao Zhong a few more details about the attack. Seeing that he remembered them all, he let him leave with confidence.
In the mist-shrouded mountain forest, hundreds of knights were taking out fried soybeans from their skin bags to feed their mounts. Most of these soybeans were stocked in the previous two years. This year's soybeans are estimated to take more than two months to mature.
In maintaining the cavalry, even if the human diet is poor, the war horses must be fed well. After feeding bran and hay, Feng Chong's knights will always feed some soybeans every day to maintain the combat effectiveness of the war horses.
Of course, feeding soybeans every day is a wartime treatment. After all, there are not many soybean warehouses in the city, so you have to be careful with your budget. However, the Japanese soldiers and horses can enjoy it during these times.
The sergeants sat down to eat after feeding the horses. They took out the dried meat and biscuits and ate them with water. The food was already in excellent condition. The cavalry ate with relish and felt that they had been on the road for days. The fatigue has dissipated a lot.
"Commander Qu, there are spies from our army asking to see you." Feng Chong finished eating like a normal soldier and was about to take out the map to look at it when he heard his own soldiers coming forward to report.
"Oh? Please come quickly." Feng Chong said urgently.
Nowadays, Wu Que's identity is almost universally known to everyone in the upper-level officials. Everyone knows that this person is the head of the detailed work directly subordinate to the prefect.
Not long ago, this man went out to Qiongdu to spy on the military situation under the order of the prefect. Much of the information now was passed back by his subordinates.
Feng Chong was ordered to send out troops for a guerrilla attack, so he needed intelligence support. Therefore, Yang Qing had already ordered Zhang Ni to let Feng Chong contact Wu Que at any time, so that he could know himself and the enemy and the attack would be safe.
