"Tell Shen Da to stay in Anlian Township. In the near future, I will lead the troops to Ding Township. At that time, the other troops can come back and join the team." In the public room, Yang Qing ordered Zhang Yi after reading the military information document.
"yes."
"Master Fu, the cavalry under Gao Zhong's command will turn around, so Feng Chong and the others will not be of much use."
Yang Qing nodded: "That's true. By the way, has Feng Chong received the news?"
Zhang Ni replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, our army's spies have already informed him of the news."
"That's good. It seems that the day for me to fight against Gao Ding is coming soon." Yang Qing said solemnly.
"What do you mean, Mr. Fu?"
"Bo Qi, I intend to send troops to Dingxiang tomorrow. When you return later, you can notify the entire army to prepare."
Zhang Ni cupped his hands and obeyed the order: "Promise."
"Someone is coming."
A clerk came into the room and bowed and said, "Here you are."
"Invite the main civil and military officials of the county to come to the lobby in half an hour to discuss matters." Yang Qing ordered: "By the way, the Gulichi clan chief outside the city must also be notified."
"promise."
At three o'clock, the main civil and military officials of the county and Gulichi, the chief of the Qingqiang Guli tribe, were already in the hall.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Yang Qing cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I learned from the report that the main force of Gaoding will reach Anshang in three or four days. I intend to lead the troops to the Dingjiacun camp tomorrow. Prepare for war and defend against the enemy. Therefore, I have called you here to make arrangements for staying behind."
Everyone stood up and responded in unison: "We will obey the Lord's order."
Yang Qing stretched out his hand to signal everyone to sit down and said with a smile: "After I leave, the government affairs in the city will be jointly managed by Wang Gongcao and Magistrate Lu."
"I will obey the order of the Lord." Wang Yi and Lu Shen stood up and responded.
"Magistrate Lu, there are still places in the county that have not completed the autumn harvest. After I leave, you must continue to arrange for manpower to harvest." Yang Qing warned Lu Shen again.
"Promise, I will do my best to do this."
"Yes." Yang Qing nodded, and then said to Wang Yi: "Wang Gongcao, please leave the transportation of the army's food, grass and baggage to the Duke."
Wang Yi looked serious and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, even if Yi is risking his life, he still has to ensure the supply of the army."
"You also need to take good care of your body. Fortunately, our army basically fights in Anshang. The food road is not long, so we just need to handle it carefully."
"yes."
"As for military affairs? Zhang Yi."
Zhang Yi stood up and bowed and said: "The general will be here at the end."
Yang Qing ordered: "I, Lord Yi, will command two groups of sword and shield bearers and two groups of bow and crossbowmen, plus more than a thousand young men, to stay in the city for the time being."
Although Zhang Ni still wanted to go to the front line to join the battle, when he saw the eunuch issuing such an order, he still bowed and responded: "Promise, I will obey the order of the emperor."
Yang Qing added: "The rest of the kings should each keep their own duties, assist the superiors, and protect the country and the people."
"Yes." The officials stood up and responded.
On the morning of the next day, Yang Qing led the civil and military officials to the barracks and officially ordered the generals to go out for the expedition. Wang Yi, Zhang Ni and others went straight to the city five miles away before returning.
The army passed through Lianxiang and met up with Shen Da's troops. It took almost a day to reach the Dingjiacun camp.
Liu Yin and others hurried out of the camp to greet them. While ordering people to arrange accommodation, they reported to Yang Qing the current situation in the camp.
In the commander's tent, Liu Yin, Shen Da and others each described their parting circumstances. The generals had been apart for many days, so they naturally had a lot to say. Yang Qing sat on the main seat and looked at everyone with a smile. He didn't speak and just drank tea by himself.
After a long time, everyone calmed down. Liu Yin stood up and reported: "Master Fu, the Qiang soldiers and our officers and soldiers have been well arranged. I have asked the Gulichi chief to divide the Qiang soldiers into three groups and station them on the left and right respectively. The hills on both sides and the camp at the foot of the mountain.”
Yang Qing replied: "Well, what is the specific troop deployment of the entire camp now?"
"Master Huifu, the left mountain camp is guarded by 1,500 troops led by Xu Quchang and the Badi brothers from the Guli tribe. The right mountain camp is guarded by brothers Shen Sima and Guliza, also with 1,500 troops. .”
"As for the others, they are all stationed in the camp at the foot of the mountain. As for the number of troops, there are more than 2,600 Qiang soldiers, including the more than 1,000 Qiang soldiers led by the Gulichi clan leader."
"Master Fu, is this arrangement appropriate?" After reporting the situation, Liu Yin asked worriedly.
Although Yang Qing had led the army since then and had given him full power over how to arrange the troops on the grounds that he was the commander of the camp, Liu Yin was also deploying an army of nearly 6,000 people for the first time, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Only when it's clear can you feel at ease.
Yang Qing smiled slightly and said: "It's very good, the layout is very suitable. The hills on both sides are condescending. Both the Badi tribe and the Shenda tribe have hundreds of crossbowmen, and the camp at the foot of the mountain will face the blades of the barbarian soldiers, which is where the main force is needed." Defend here.”
"Xiuran, you did a good job." Yang Qing praised again.
Liu Yin performed outstandingly for the first time on his own. The previous design defeated Gao Zhong's troops, and this time he coordinated and arranged thousands of troops very well. Given time, he will eventually grow into a famous general in history.
Moreover, without the variable Yang Qing, his achievements would be higher than in the original history.
"Fu Jun has given me the reward. This is Yin's duty." Liu Yinqian said.
Yang Qing nodded, then smiled and asked Gu Lichi, who was on the lower right: "Does Chief Guli think Liu Sima's arrangement is appropriate?"
Gu Lichi put down his wine glass, cupped his hand and said: "Liu Sima is smart and capable, so this arrangement is very suitable. I have already said that the three thousand sons of my department, including you, can just make arrangements at your own will, and there is no need to ask for your opinions."
Gulichi's words were so beautiful, and of course Yang Qing also tried his best to agree: "The Guli clan leader has such a profound understanding of righteousness, he is really a role model for the Qiang and Yi tribes in Yuexi County. As long as the high-end clothes are sent away, I should pay tribute to him." The imperial court expresses the merits of your ministry."
"Haha, thank you so much, Mr. Fu." Gu Lichi said with a smile.
Everyone became more relaxed after hearing the hearty laughter, and began to toast each other. The cheers continued in the tent until late at night, when everyone dispersed to rest.
"Drive, drive, drive..."
On the road, hundreds of cavalry were galloping forward. The leader, Feng Chong, looked behind him from time to time. Seeing that the distance between him and the chasing barbarian cavalry was getting farther and farther, he couldn't help but feel relieved. "Fortunately, I left a backup force to stop the barbarian soldiers, otherwise it would have been dangerous this time." Feng Chong thought with lingering fear.
"Damn it, these Han dogs escaped again." Looking at the Han cavalry who could no longer be seen, Gao Zhong whipped his whip out of thin air and said bitterly.
Early this morning, the Han army attacked the camp again by blowing horns from a distance and pretending to be impressive. This had already been anticipated by myself and my brother, so I led the cavalry to quietly leave the group last night and lurk near the road that the Han army must pass, just to Destroy these annoying guys in one fell swoop.
Seeing that the plan was successful, they were about to catch up with the Han army. Unexpectedly, the Han army left some men in the mountains and forests on their way back. This group of people suddenly attacked, buying time for the Han army to escape.
Gao Zhong recalled what happened in today's battle, and kept thinking to himself that it was a pity that now the hundreds of enemy cavalry had run away again, and he had no choice but to lead his team back to the camp.
"Brother, I am incompetent and let the enemy run away again." As soon as he returned to the camp, Gao Zhong knelt down to apologize to Gao Ding.
Although Gao Chong felt it was a pity, he still raised his right hand and said calmly: "Forget it, just run away. As long as the official cavalry can no longer slow down our march, then it is right for me to call you back. "
"We will arrive in An'shang in two days. Yang Qing is already waiting for us at the Dingjiacun camp. Now our best policy is to preserve our strength and compete with the Han people when we arrive in An'shang."
"Yes, brother." Gao Zhong replied.
He understood what his brother meant. Although he led his troops to attack Anshang and achieved some results, they were insignificant compared with the loss of hundreds of men.
The cavalry is his brother's treasure. Although he was punished after he came back, his brother still let him command the cavalry. This was out of trust in his family. He could never let the cavalry be damaged again.
Gao Chong made up his mind to act carefully in the future, never to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, and fall into the trap of the Han people.
