Soon after, the main troops of the Xiangzhou Military Mansion had all landed, leaving only two ships and some soldiers on the south bank of Xiangyang, to patrol and prepare for the response.

The fire head army moved quickly, and the cooking in the pot was completed in no time. The three armies all had a good meal and were ready to go on a big fight. A hearty victory just now greatly encouraged the morale of this "new army". The navy made a contribution, and the cavalry sergeants were eager to try, not wanting to fall behind.

Qin Mubai, Pang Fei and others were studying the military sand table in the Xiangcheng area of ​​Dengzhou in the cabin of a military ship. The sand table can be done by Baiqi people. One of the important tasks of the Baiqi spies sent out to inquire about the military situation is to come back to make a sand table. Mountains, rivers, cities, and villages are all reflected in the sand table.

"It seems that this is the only way to Xiangcheng. But there is forest on the right of the mountain, and there is a shallow stream in front of it. Although a temporary bridge can be used to cross it, it will not hinder our march. However, the boundary here The danger is the “land of ambush” often mentioned in military books.” Qin Mubai pointed to a boundary on the sand table, as if to teach Pang Fei, and said patiently, “If the enemy knows how to set ambush, here The upper stream cut off the river to store enough water, and set up ambushes on both sides of the narrow road to prepare for fire. Then, our army will be wiped out."

"Yeah! The army is advancing by title, and it is extremely difficult to turn around. On such a narrow road with low middle and high sides, if we encounter bow arrows and fire attacks, we will not be able to retreat. We can only go to the river. Run." Pang Fei said, "When the time comes, the enemy will dig up the stream and let the river drown. It will be a disaster."

"By analogy, smart." Qin Mubai nodded in approval.

Pang Fei said: "Since this place is the only way for our army, and the enemy is very likely to set up an ambush, how should we deal with it? Do we have to avoid this way by crossing the mountains? It’s meaningless. When we arrive in Xiangzhou, it will take at least three or four more days."

"No, I have my own way." Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously and was about to say. Suddenly he heard a sergeant shouting outside the cabin: "Alert the ship! The bowmen are ready!"

Everyone was surprised: It's strange, does the enemy still have troops on the waterway?

I was about to send someone out to check the questioning, but someone from outsiders yelled at him: "What a surprise! You are blind! That is our own sacred fish spaceship!"

Qin Mubainu nodded: "Pang Fei, take a look. Didn't the ship stay on the south bank to receive the alert? Why did it sail across the river without authorization?"

"Yes!"

Pang Fei got out of the ship and came to the lookout. As expected, it was indeed the sacred fish spacecraft from the military mansion that came over, and both of them came. I was a little far apart, but I could only see the light reflected from the vest on the ship's deck.

"Strange, where did the soldiers and horses come from?" Pang Fei wondered.

At this moment, a boat of shuttle clippers quickly rowed over and shouted to the big boat overhead: "His Royal Highness King Wu led his troops across the river to help!"

"What, King Wu?!" Qin Mubai heard it in the cabin, and walked out in surprise.

At this time, the two big ships were getting closer, and Li Ke standing at the bow could already be seen. Behind him stood two generals, Xue Rengui and Yin Yang, armed with resoluteness and sharpness, and they bowed their fists to Qin Mubai.

There is also a "general general" who "supports" a heavy weapon that is more than one person long with a phoenix-winged golden bell. Wearing a mighty black and bright Xuan Tieshan Wen Jia, it is swayed by two battles. Leaning on the side of the ship, vomiting wildly and dizzy-it was Yuwen Hongtai.

Qin Mubai glanced at it. The two ships carried at least a thousand men and horses, mostly cavalry. The guards of the royal palace are much more advanced than those of the military palace. A good horse, a good armor, a good weapon, armed to the teeth, makes the palace soldiers sergeants who wear shabby cloth and leather armors feel jealous.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Qin Mubai asked on the boat.

Li Ke laughed. After the two boats approached, he stepped on the sampan and crossed the boat. He turned around and said: "Rengui, Yin Yang, you throw that dull guy on the shore, don't stay here Shame. Tell him not to follow, he has to come."

"Yes." Xue Rengui and Yin Yang smiled at Qin Mubai, and both left and right set up Yuwen Hongtai to land first.

"Speak in the cabin!"

Li Ke motioned to Qin Mubai to come with him, and the two entered the cabin, Li Ke smiled and said: "I want to be clear. If you want to resist the purpose, then fight together. Even if I don't know how to fight, then I must Privately help you. This thousand cavalry is all the possessions in my palace that can be taken out, and the rest are all useless new infantry infantry. There are also three generals, and now they are all handed over to you. "

"His Royal Highness, is this wrong?" Qin Mubai frowned and said, "Chu Suiliang is still here, let him know, it's not good."

"Don't worry, he won't know." Li Ke smiled mysteriously and said, "Even if he knew, he would pretend not to know."

Qin Mubai understood, nodded and smiled: "Chu Suiliang, he is a reasonable and wise man."

"Yeah! Didn't we know it as early as in Jiangzhou?" Li Ke smiled, "Your staff is thinner after all. Although I know you may be good at war, there are many people. After all, it’s not a bad thing. Moreover, you are all familiar with Xue Rengui, Yin Yang, and Yuwen Hongtai, and they are definitely handy to use. Besides, soldiers who don’t fight tough battles are not good soldiers. I also took this opportunity to let me work here. A group of expensive sergeants, take a good look. If you don’t just look down on using all of them as rice buckets, you can let them rush to the front and send them to death. On the contrary, it will save me some money and food."

Qin Mubai knew that he was deliberately joking around Gu, nodded, and said gratefully: "His Royal Highness, thank you."

"Thank you." Li Ke smiled slightly, "Blessed and shared, and shared difficulties. You have blocked all the big connections on the day of fighting against the edict and raising troops. What is the matter if I support you a little? If you want to blame, I will fight with you. It will be easier to share a crime for two people. Of course, if there is no blame or credit, then I can follow you to get some benefits!"

Qin Mubai laughed: "These thousand cavalry soldiers are almost all your belongings. Before, if I asked you for a horse and armor, you would stingyly refuse to give it. , It seems to be more important than my own concubines. Now they send out a thousand people at once... Are you really willing?"

Li Ke grinned and smiled indifferently: "What are these things used for? Isn't it used at this time? Stop talking nonsense, use your soldiers well, and soon win! Actually, I see you fighting. Itchy, I really want to fight with you. But I also know that marching and fighting, I am not this piece of material. Staying here is a burden. Therefore, I have to support you behind you. Don't worry, you can just rest assured and bold Go to gallop and fight, the food, grass and armor, the governor's mansion has arranged an unlimited supply for you, and is responsible for sending it to your army!"

"Okay, thank you so much!" Qin Mubai said gratefully, "I'm worrying about this! The cash in the army has not been much, and it can last for ten days at most. I dispatched people. I went to Wu Meiniang to borrow grain, but at this time, the mules, horses, carts and civilian husbands were too difficult to find. If the time stretches out, the follow-up supply will easily go wrong. As long as the Shifu is willing to help, that really solves me. Worries for the future!"

"So, I still have some use?" Li Ke raised his eyebrows with a joking smile, and said, "Don't be kidding. The grain and grass of Wu Meiniang have just been put into the treasury, how can it be vacated again?... We are going to make a fortune, but we can all count on that! The governor's mansion has collected a lot of official food taxes after the autumn. We don't need it at this time. When will we wait?"

Qin Mubai smiled, feeling a little moved in his heart.

Although Li Ke speaks lightly and humorously, these decisions are not easy to make. From this incident, Qin Mubai felt Li Ke's loyalty.

Qin Mubai can resist the decree, because he is the general of the army, and will suffer from the command of the foreign monarch. No matter how great the crime is, he can resist the decree this time. . Li Ke is different. He is a prince and is suspected of being sensitive. It takes great courage and courage to advance and retreat with Qin Mubai against his father's order. He was unwilling to sit and let Qin Mubai clarify the facts and bear everything, so he chose to stand in the same trench with him.

To resist the decree, to act against the decree, to act against the evil, these are all risky things after all, especially for a prince like him.

At this time, it is not so much that Li Ke provided a thousand soldiers and horses, but rather a "commitment"-to advance and retreat together, to share honor and disgrace!

At this point, Qin Mubai didn't want to say more, just watched Li Ke solemnly and nodded seriously: "I'll use my soldiers well, don't worry."

"Haha, a lot of people praise you as a general, I really don't believe it." Li Ke smiled, "I seem to have heard that there are not many soldiers, but the application of the law. Li You has 30,000 horses. , I gave you one thousand, and you only have three thousand. Everyone has to block ten...Hey, can you? No, don’t be stubborn, I don’t want to cross the river to collect your corpse."

"It's really bad luck!" Qin Mubai sipped, "You better go back, don't be here to confuse the people with my army. If you confuse the army, kill! You don't want to test whether my military order Strictly?"

"Haha, General Qin is so majestic, I'm really scared." Li Ke patted his chest and laughed, nodded, and said, "Then I will go. Anyway... take care! "

"Hmm..." Qin Mubai smiled and nodded.

Li Ke boarded the ship of the coming time and sailed to the south bank. He stood on the bow of the boat and looked at Qin Mubai. They both smiled unpredictably, and righteousness flowed in their eyes.

"It's really sending charcoal in the snow." Pang Fei walked over and said with a smile, "Our military mansion just lacks cavalry. Although there are 400 cavalry, only fifty elite yelling cavalry can charge and sweep the formation. The rest are all. It’s a mediocre military cavalry. The cavalry in the palace is really good, at least they are well equipped, and the horses are good. The three powerful generals of the commander are also very powerful, and they are brave enough to crown the three armies. Uh...but, Yuwen Hongtai all vomited. In that case, I am worried that he can ride a horse."

Qin Mubai smiled and said: "That bear bearer was seasick, and he vomited as soon as he got on the boat. It was harder to wait for than a woman or child. Let him rest for a while. The good wine and meat will fill his stomach. Then he was alive and kicking."

"Good!"

At this time, Xue Rengui and Yin Yang were on board the boat, and walked to Qin Mubai with fists in front of him and said, "General Qin, the general will wait for the condemnation!"

"It's great, I'm using people properly." Qin Mubai smiled, "One white, one red, and one black. The three members of the palace will stand up and suppress the prestige of the enemy and puppet army first!"

Xue Rengui and Yin Yang laughed.

Xue Rengui wears a bright silver armor, a sharp silver silk battle robe, a steel helmet sprinkled with white tassels, and rides a snow-like white horse; Yin Yang is dressed as a traditional royal general, with a blood-red bright armor and a red cloak A jersey, riding a jujube horse; Yuwen Hongtai, this behemoth, has always been difficult to find a fitting Mingguang armor. It is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive to find someone to order. With that spare money, he would be happy to drink more wine. Anyway, he didn't pay attention to it, so he wore a black iron mountain armor, and the horse was also black and shiny. From head to toe, including the horse, it became a piece of black, and then carried a phoenix-winged gold clam that was as long as one person and weighed more than a hundred catties, which looked like an evil god.

Qin Mubai and the two chatted on the deck without a word, and saw Yuwen Hongtai on the shore running up and shouting: "Hey, General Qin, I'm all right! When will I send troops, I wait It’s too late!"

"Haha!" Everyone laughed together. Qin Mubai said: "You should eat and drink first, and someone will inform you later."

"Ah! Hurry up!" Yuwen Hongtai replied, and ran back simply.

At this time, Pang Fei said: "General, it's less than an hour before the departure. Have you decided on your strategy? Didn't you just say that the enemy and puppet forces might set up ambush by the river in front?"

"Okay, let's go into the cabin together and watch the sand table!"

Everyone was discussing countermeasures in the cabin, and suddenly heard that the scout sent to Dengzhou made a meticulous return and sent back a major military situation.

Qin Mubai opened the military report and was surprised!

Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the governor of Bingzhou, was ordered by the emperor to travel for more than 300 miles in 20,000 days, galloping Dengzhou to suppress the rebellion. Within a day, at the same time that Qin Mubai attacked the Xinye Military Port, Li Jibing was divided into five divisions. They consisted of Zuo Tunwei General Xue Wanjun, You Wuwei General Xue Wanche, and Beimen Guarding Inspection School. Qu Tuquan, the son of Qu Tutong’s Guoyi Duwei Qu Tuquan, and his own leaders, with a raging fire and a sharp knife, instantly regained the rebellious Rang County, Nanyang, Lin Tuan, Neixiang and Ju Tan Shu. The county has now besieged Li You's rebels into the isolated city of Xiangcheng!

"Movement is like a gust of wind sweeping the forest, and the mountain is overwhelming. Li Ji is really amazing!" Qin Mubai exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, really sighing.

People galloped from Chang'an, and they swept across the city for thousands of miles, only in the blink of an eye; I was only separated from Dengzhou by a river, and I actually fell behind!

"Why did Li Ji come so fast? Three days ago, we received a report saying that there is no evidence of the official army of the Tang Dynasty in Dengzhou." Pang Fei said in surprise, "How come I suddenly heard it today, and Li Ji swept away in an instant. Dengzhou, just wait to catch a turtle in the last urn?"

Qin Mubai twisted his brows heavily, shook his head, and said: "This is like smashing tofu with a hammer. When will the hammer be smashed, and when will the tofu become rotten, there is no suspense."

"That's true. Li Ji is a famous general in the dynasty, who has made great achievements in battle, and has supported half of the northern Xinjiang. He is deeply dependent on the emperor and is called the'Great Wall of Tang Dynasty'." Pang Fei said, "Moreover, he served as his deputy. Yes, except for Qu Tu's reputation as a rising star, the other three are all brave and brave generals of the three armies! No wonder, where is Li You's group of scattered sand and black people better than these people?"

"Even the last generals have long known the names of the three generals." Xue Rengui said, "Especially Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, two generals of the same clan, are famous and outstanding. I have long heard that these two brothers Everyone is the brave champion of the three armies, and all of them are in the forefront of the war, and the enemy is invincible!"

Qin Mubai raised his hand to indicate that they don't need to say any more, and said: "It doesn't matter who is here, the current situation is, what should we do next?"

Pang Fei thought for a while and said, "General, since all the officers and soldiers sent by the court have cleaned up Li You, his fate can be imagined, and we still need to continue to rush over. Do you compete with Li Ji? Let's leave it to them. Anyway, we also sent troops to break the Xinye Puppet Army Port, which proves that we have no collusion with the thieves!"

Xue Rengui and Yin Yang did not say a word, waiting for Qin Mubai to decide.

Qin Mubai thought for a while, and secretly said: I didn't expect Li Ji to come so quickly! Even more unexpectedly, the emperor would use such a heavy hand to send a groin and mainstay commander like Li Ji to rush thousands of miles to quell the rebellion. It can be seen that Li Shimin mostly confessed to Li Ji. But the matter has reached this point, and it is impossible to retreat quietly. If it is investigated afterwards, it will be possible to escape the charge of "attacking the rebellion" or "resisting the decree". Then he had no choice but to go to the head of Xiangcheng and let the facts prove to Li Ji! ——Furthermore, there is still Ling'er in Xiangcheng, and the leader of the chaos is his brother and uncle. How can you feel at ease if you don't go there in person?

"Army, march towards the city!"

Pang Fei was startled, but didn't say much, and fisted with Xue Rengui and Yin Yang: "No!--"

Military orders are military orders and are used to obey. What's more, Pang Fei and others have never doubted Qin Mubai!

[Recently, how come there are only some book reviews that are unreasonable and urging in the egg? Even the one who taught me how to condemn words and make sentences, and give Chinese lessons (seems like I encountered it for the first time, I couldn't laugh or cry).
