Chapter 160: Deviating to Tiger Mountain
Siwu stronghold was broken, Li Du led tens of thousands of troops and marched straight in. Suide was in urgent need of all fronts. Xiao Cheng and his party on the road were completely unaware of these things. They were leisurely playing along the way.
After more than ten days of walking, they had just crossed Luoshui and were now resting in Dejing Village.
Dejing Village is a military camp under the Baoan Army. Although Hao Yue, the commander of the Baoan Army, is now envious and jealous of Xiao Ding, the leader of a military camp is just a small general. Facing Xiao Cheng, Luo
People like these naturally have no resistance. When these two yamen entered Dejing Village, he could only be careful to fawn over and wait on them, which was regarded as a good relationship, just in case he could use this job in the future.
What about the relationship between children?
After all, these two people are considered to be figures in the clouds in their eyes. Perhaps just because of their whim, this little general can rise to great heights!
The leader of Dejing Village, General Xie Dong, had this idea in mind and greeted the group of people carefully. To be honest, it was a big burden for them to stay in Dejing Village.
, dozens of people, dozens of horses, people eating what horses chew, is really not a small number.
The key is that there are really no good things in the village, and there are no decent market towns near Dejing Village where you can buy these, so you can only make do with what you can.
Fortunately, neither Xiao Cheng nor Luo Gang cared much about eating and drinking, but they paid special attention to the cleanliness of the room. Jie Dong sent more than a dozen soldiers to work for a full hour before he was able to clean up two items.
A good house was arranged for the leaders Xiao Cheng, Luo Gang and Xiao Yi to stay.
As for the other people, it's easy to say, just free up two barracks to accommodate them.
If you look at those people, you will see that they have been soldiers.
The leader had a hammer hanging on his waist, which probably weighed more than ten kilograms. Jie Dong was very surprised. A person using such a heavy weapon must have amazing strength, and this person could tell at a glance that he was not very old. The other one was very surprised.
This made Jie Dong almost shocked, because this man didn't have two calves, and he had two iron feet on the ground. However, he didn't seem to be affected by this at all, and he walked and ran just like other people.
Moreover, this man was carrying a big bow. Judging from the appearance of the bow, I was afraid that he could not afford it.
Including these two guard leaders, dozens of guards were restrained in their evil spirits, and they all looked kind-hearted, but occasionally when they raised their eyes or looked back, the things that were engraved in their bones leaked out. This
Jiedong is no stranger to this kind of evil spirit, and most of the guards around him are like this. And he was once one of those people.
Only those who have seen blood go through a big battle can develop such evil spirits.
Sure enough, it was the yamen of a wealthy and noble family. They could easily provide dozens of such capable warriors as bodyguards.
But if you think about who Xiao Cheng's brother is, it's easier to explain.
"This Jie Dong is really good." Luo Gang tore off a rabbit leg and put it on Xiao Yi's plate, "This rabbit looks like it was freshly hunted, and this, this... Third Sister
You eat more. Along the way, I see you losing some weight."
Luo Gang ignored Xiao Cheng's presence and flattered Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi didn't appreciate it at all, "Third brother, you made a mistake again. What Xie Dong really put effort into on this table is not these game meats."
, but these plates of wild vegetables.”
"How many plates of green vegetables can compare with these hard vegetables?" Luo Gang said unconvinced.
Xiao Cheng smiled and said: "Three sisters are really right. In this season, Jie Dong has really put in a lot of effort to find these wild vegetables. Look at these wild vegetables, they can only be regarded as sprouts. Maybe this
Jie Dong understands our origins and knows that big fish and meat are certainly not rare for us, but these side dishes are very rare."
"It's really delicious!" Xiao Yi said with a smile.
As soon as Xiao Yi said it was delicious, Luo Gang immediately turned a few plates of side dishes around and placed them all in front of Xiao Yi, "You guys, don't eat these two dishes. It's just a little bit of trouble for the Communist Party."
, once you take off your chopsticks, what will be left?"
He used his chopsticks to point at Xiao Cheng, Han Yu and Wei Wudao.
This dog-licking look made Xiao Cheng laugh and cry, but what he was licking was his sister's smelly feet. She couldn't bring herself to discredit him, so she could only smile and shake her head.
As for Han Wei and Wei Wu, they wish they could eat more meat! They all nodded with smiles.
They arrived at Dejing Village in the afternoon, and it was just dark now. It took a lot of effort for Jie Dong to get these things out in such a short period of time.
While they were eating and talking and laughing, there was a sudden knock on the door. Han Zong stood up and opened the door, and saw Jie Dong standing at the door.
"General Xie Zheng, please come in quickly. It takes too much trouble. We are all a little embarrassed." Xiao Cheng bowed his hand as a courtesy. He was never afraid to maintain a humble attitude towards anyone, no matter what the person's status was.
, even if they were ordinary lackeys or generals that no one looked down upon, Xiao Cheng was always polite to them.
This makes people like Jie Dong a little flattered.
"There are no good things in the countryside. Mr. Xiao, please don't think we are neglecting you." Jie Dong was a little at a loss and squirmed uneasily where he stood.
Xiao Cheng suddenly noticed the sound of shouting and gathering in the village. He was moved in his heart and asked: "General Xie Zheng, do you have official business? If you have official business, just go and do it and don't worry about us. We will stay here."
One night, we will leave early tomorrow morning."
Jie Dong smiled awkwardly and said: "Master Xiao, it is true that we have official business. The emergency military leader has just arrived. The village leaders of each village must rush to the meeting in Gaoluo Village where the commander is located."
"Did something happen?" Xiao Cheng asked thoughtfully.
Jie Dong nodded: "Yes, Mr. Xiao, Li Du, the Dingnan Army, led tens of thousands of troops and defeated Siwu Village. They are now divided into several groups and are attacking Suide."
Xiao Cheng was immediately shocked, and Luo Gang also stood up and walked to Jiedong.
The two of them looked at each other and understood in their hearts. No wonder there has been no movement from the Dingnan Army after Xiao Ding captured Yanzhou. Daren's family had already planned such a move.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Suide Army to mobilize and support the Guangrui Army, it was a fatal blow. It must be said that it was indeed a good plan.
"Thank you, General Xie Zheng, for telling me the news. You are busy going about your business and cannot delay the military situation!" Xiao Cheng said with a cupped hand.
Jie Dong nodded, cupped his fists and saluted: "Well, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Luo, I will go now. You will leave tomorrow morning, so I may not be able to see you off."
Xiao Cheng bowed slightly and watched Jie Dong leave.
"Can Suide be defended?" Luo Gang asked.
"I'm afraid it can't be defended." Xiao Cheng shook his head and said: "The main force of the Suide army is now gathering towards Longzhou. Li Dan wants to capture Longzhou. The main force left in the Suide area is limited, and even more
Most of the places are guarded by Xiang troops. If they meet Li Du's main force, it will be no different than a sheep meeting a wolf. Now it depends on Li Dan's own ability. If he panics and rushes back for reinforcements, I'm afraid
It would be really dangerous if Li Du were to attack him halfway across the river and make a mess."
Thinking that behind Suide was Yan'an Prefecture, and that their group was preparing to go to Yan'an Prefecture, Luo Gang's expression immediately changed. "Chongwen, I think there is no need for us to go to Yan'an Prefecture. We should hurry back to Bianliang
important!"
Xiao Cheng glanced at him and said with a smile: "We are the ones who wrote the essay for Ma Xueshi, and we are going to Yan'an Mansion to report what we have done during this period on behalf of our elder brother. In other words, now we are still the pacification envoys of Shaanxi Road.
The officials below, even if it is temporary. If they don’t go, they are running away from the battle.”
"How dare Ma Xing do anything to us?"
"It won't do anything to us!" Xiao Cheng said: "It's just that I will inevitably look at you through the crack in the door and look down on you."
Luo Gang snorted, but remained silent.
"Yan'an Prefecture is indeed in danger, but it is not as scary as you think!" Xiao Cheng said calmly: "Although Li Du has tens of thousands of troops, after taking Suide, the troops will be dispersed, and the surrounding area of Yan'an Prefecture itself will be
With the Qingyuan Army and the Weiyuan Army stationed there, with 5,000 men and horses in both armies, there is no problem in guarding the city. Moreover, Master Ma himself is in Yan'an, so it is very easy to mobilize troops and horses from the rear. No one dares to disobey orders.
."
"He can't capture Yan'an?" Luo Gang asked.
"Of course!" Xiao Cheng said: "Unless he is a god, or the Song army on Shaanxi Road is just a mob."
"It's hard to say about other places, but the army that Academician Ma keeps around him must still have a few brushes." Luo Gang said: "I was in charge of the caravan and came here several times some time ago, and I saw the Qingyuan Army and the Weiyuan Army conduct drills.
, it’s still decent.”
"That's it. At this moment, we should go wherever there is danger!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile. "Leave a good impression on Bachelor Ma. I also want to come to Xiaxi Road to meet my elder brother after I win the Jinshi.
Let’s fight together!”
"Come on!" Luo Gang sneered: "Brother, this time behead first and then show off. I'm afraid Li Du's attack on Suide was also caused by this. Maybe when we get to Yan'an Mansion, Ma will behead him first and give us a killing blow."
"Xueshi Ma has already endorsed my elder brother's military action!" Xiao Cheng sneered: "He will slap himself in the face? Siwu Village can be easily thrown away. After all, it is Li Dan's problem."
"That's what I say, but Master Ma must be feeling uncomfortable."
Xiao Cheng smiled and thought to himself, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but Ma's next attempt to take over Yanzhou will be met with failure. At that time, I'm afraid he will be even more uncomfortable.
"Siwu stronghold is lost, and now we are in trouble!" Luo Gang sighed: "This is equivalent to opening a big hole in Hengshan's defense line. People can come and leave when they want. If they don't take it back, they will
