Qing Ping Le · Double Songs

If the frontier wind blows, the yellow sand will block out the sun, but with the cover of Youheng Mountain, the yellow sand in the sky will not be blown over. The undulating mountains are like the delicate body of a girl, lying lightly on the side of the earth. superior.

King Jingyuan knows the deployment of frontier defense better than anyone else. Although the battle at Hukou Pass caused heavy casualties to his elite, but fortunately, he successfully cleared this pass and reached the border of Nanliang. So he ceded the six states to Nanliang. Although he failed to ascend to the throne, he could take advantage of the collapse of the border defense to take down the four states. At this moment, he is redeploying his troops to capture the fifth state.

In the big tent of the imperial army, Rong Che stared at Youheng Mountain on the map for a long time without saying a word, Dafu guarded outside the tent to prevent outsiders from entering and disturbing, Nanliang sent 20 soldiers this time and King Jingyuan was in command, Like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.The four prefectures where she was impeached and lost were blocked by the broken veins of Youheng Mountain, which led to the current situation. Zhizhou, which is backed by Youheng Mountain, must be the next place that King Jingyuan will attack.

"Report." Dafu said outside the tent, "General Wei is back."

After the Hukou Pass last time, she deployed the rest of the troops to the new line of defense to prevent the Liang army from entering again, and ordered Wei Changdong and Yang Shan to bring troops to the Gaoshan, Xishui, Qiyun and Youheng four battalions at a high speed. 5 horses must gather here to deal with Nanliang's large-scale invasion. At this moment, Wei Changdong came back one step earlier than Yang Shan.

Wei Changdong saluted first when entering the account, and then presented the military talisman with both hands, saying, "The last general has dispatched 10 horses to fulfill his mission."

Rong Che looked up from the map, and his cool voice still could not hear the slightest emotion, "Can you arrange the tents for the soldiers of the two battalions to rest?"

"It's been ordered." Seeing the map on Rong Che's case, he said again, "It seems that Zhizhou can't be kept."

Rong Che shook his head, "Since you have come back, Yangshan can come back before tomorrow, Zhizhou, I plan to protect it."

Wei Changdong raised his eyebrows and said, "You know that Zhizhou can't be kept, let alone that we have just assembled an army of 20, even if we confront the enemy at this moment, it is difficult to guarantee victory, let alone over a mountain?"

Rong Che only asked, "You don't seem to be sure about this battle?"

"Ah Che, you might as well just tell me what your plan is." Wei Changdong looked at her and said word by word, "No matter what decision you make in public or private, I will fight side by side with you."

"Okay." There was a slight smile on Rong Che's face. She always seldom smiled, but every time she smiled, she seemed to hear the sound of melting ice and snow, "Changdong, since you will obey me in public and private, then my Even if you decide, you can’t refute it.”

Although Wei Changdong loved this smile, Rong Che's sudden smile made him feel uneasy, he said cautiously, "That's natural."

"I order you to immediately lead 5 people over Mount Youheng, and fight the enemy in Zhizhou. You must use all your energy in this battle and not be negligent."

"What do you mean?" Wei Changdong was puzzled. "The Liang army would not dare to invade Huizhou if they took down Zhizhou at most. Will act rashly again."

"And after that?"

Wei Changdong was dumb for a while, and then Liang Jun occupied the five states for a long time. They joined forces with Generals Xu and Zhao to attack Liang Jun and regain the lost ground. Hearing such an answer, Wei Changdong had no choice but to ask, "Ache, don't be a fool."

"Liang Jun's occupation of the five states of Daxia is not to divide the territory at this time, but to negotiate peace with our dynasty with the people in the city under the attack of two directions. At that time, we will lose the opportunity to talk about the fate of these five states. .”

Wei Changdong pondered without saying a word. Nanliang really had the intention, "What if His Majesty insists on attacking the five states?"

Rong Che asked calmly, "Changdong, do you want this to happen?"

Rong Che's words were too calm, but he didn't know why, Wei Changdong's eyes showed a picture of people dying. If he attacked by force, Liang Jun would be on the territory of Daxia, and he would use cruel means to loot the five states. In order to regain the lost ground, we must not shrink back. In the end, the five states will be blood-stained loess and countless dead cities.

Seeing Wei Changdong's silence for a long time, Rong Che got up and walked over slowly, she stopped beside the map on the shelf and said, "I plan to turn Mount Youheng into a field of cultivation, so that Liang Jun's 20 troops will never return. "

"You asked me to pretend to be the main force in Zhizhou to confuse the Liang army, and then take back the five states?" Rong Che nodded and replied, "You want to lure the Liang army into Youheng Mountain, but even if Liang Jun enters Youheng as you wish Hengshan, you can't guarantee that this 20 army will be wiped out by us in one fell swoop."

Rong Che also pointed at Youheng Mountain on the Zhizhou side, "The mountains on the Huizhou side are steep and difficult to climb, but the mountains on the Zhizhou side are much lower." Chu said again, "I didn't notice this place before. I have been staring at this place for a long time in the past few nights before I discovered the subtleties here. You are looking carefully at this place."

The mountains are climbing from east to west. Although the mountains in Zhizhou are complex, they are low and low. Where Rong Che points is a complex terrain connected by several small valleys. The largest valley in the middle is open and surrounded by mountains. High and not easy to climb, Wei Changdong has already guessed Rong Che's plan after all the years of marching.

"You want me to pretend that I'm attacking Zhizhou from this valley, so that the prince thinks that the two sides are connected, so that even if Xu and Zhao two generals stationed troops in the north of the East Five States, there is another way to attack from the west. Huizhou continues to win the West Five States." He paused, and then said, "But, how do you know that the prince didn't find this place?"

"Because we are different from what he wants. What he wants is to negotiate with the emperor after occupying the five states, but what we want is not to give him such an opportunity." She stopped and said in a calm manner, "However, It’s also a gamble with God.”

Wei Changdong studied the situation in the valley carefully, and Fang said, "This is indeed an opportunity, but it must be difficult to overthrow the 20 army in one fell swoop, but defeating the Liang army can be a try."

"No. My plan is much more than that." Rong Che said calmly, "You don't need to enter the valley, you just need to attract people here."

"If I don't enter the valley, how can I be fooled?"

"I'll wait at the foot of the mountain."

Wei Changdong said decisively, "No, I won't let you put yourself in danger."

"I am more attractive to him than you are. If you lure him, he may be suspicious, but if I go in person, he will think that we have devoted all our troops. Besides, he hates me to the bone and doesn't kill me. It's not enough to vent his anger." See Wei Changdong Ning □□ opened her mouth to interrupt, she raised her hand to stop it from continuing

Said, "Don't worry, there will be fifty thousand soldiers and horses in ambush above the valley."

After thinking about it, Wei Changdong said, "I defended the Taniguchi because it was difficult for him to retreat after he noticed the change." After a pause, he continued, "Although we cannot guarantee that all 20 people will enter the valley, it will definitely damage most of the Xia Liang army. As for the strength of troops, if you instruct Dafu to send news to General Zhao, who is closer to Zhizhou, once the prince enters the valley, he can go directly to Zhizhou to attack the remaining troops of the Liang army deployed in various states."

"The links are closely linked, and one cannot be dispensed with."

"You really admire me for the fact that you use soldiers in a quick word, and the situation you set up is ingenious but unscrupulous." Wei Changdong paused, "However, as you said just now, you are actually just talking to God. Take a gamble, you are not sure but this plan can at least implicate the innocent, if you don’t want Wuzhou to be in trouble, you will be willing to seek danger, have you ever thought that if this plan fails, Wuzhou will still have a catastrophe.”

"So, I must do it." There was another smile on Rong Che's face, "If you win the bet, the five states will be spared, and if you lose, I don't have to regret it."

"Okay, I will bring 5 people over Mount Youheng tonight." Wei Changdong said again, "When will you enter the valley?"

"When Yang Shan comes back and makes the rest of the deployment, he will lead people into the valley."

Wei Changdong accepted the order with cupped fists, and said, "The last general takes the order." After speaking, he stepped out of the big tent.

Rong Che walked back from the map and wrote a few notes on the case. She folded the paper and called Dafu, who was on duty outside the door, and said, "Now you set off to find General Zhao and hand over this letter in person. Don't let anyone discover your whereabouts in his hands."

"The subordinates know." After receiving the letter, Dafu hesitated to speak, but only said, "Master, take care."

Rong Che nodded and watched Dafu walk out of the tent. The scorching sun was about to set outside the tent, leaving behind a hundred miles of rosy clouds. She got up and walked out of the tent, looking in the direction of Nanyang City without saying a word for a long time.There must have been a lot of impeachments against her after losing the imperial court in several states in a row. I don't know how much unhappiness the emperor sister will have with those old ministers in order to protect her, and I don't know what plans the cousin sister will make for this victory.

Although thousands of miles away, she knew that her two elder sisters were worried about her at the moment, so she smiled again, this was the third smile of the day, and it was even more beautiful under the afterglow of the setting sun.She thought of the paper kite she put on the palace wall when she was a child. Although it flew out of the high wall, the person who tied the thread could only run inside the palace wall, like the thread tied in her heart.

Yang Shan walked behind him silently, and he came back when she was discussing with Wei Changdong. Yang Shan paid homage behind Rong Che, "All the 10 troops dispatched by the Second Battalion of Gaoshan and Xishui have assembled here. order."

Rong Che still turned his back to him, and said indifferently, "You are stationed here for dispatch."

"What?" Yang Shan asked anxiously, "Just now I saw General Wei ordering troops and said that he wanted to attack Zhizhou over the mountains, and the last general would also like to go with him."

"Yang Shan, you should know that military orders are like mountains."

"The last general takes orders."

Because it is necessary to travel lightly and lightly to fight over the mountain, Wei Changdong brought a total of 5 soldiers and horses out of caution for this battle, and sneaked in the Youheng Mountain at night.What Wei Changdong didn't know was that Rong Che didn't go back the next day as he said before, she was just two hours behind him and led [-] people to climb Youheng Mountain, but she didn't follow Wei Changdong's marching route, but It is on the mountain to prepare for the future offensive and defensive arrangements.

There was no moonlight in the mountains, and it was darker than the outside. 8 people did not light torches for fear of revealing their whereabouts. After a day and a night, they made preparations according to the original arrangement, and the rest of the time was rest and waiting.

They quietly hid in the dark night, time seemed to flow through the long years, this night was especially difficult.The sun arrived on schedule as usual, and only a corner of it was exposed, and the movement in the distance was faintly heard. At this time, a gust of wind blew through and sent a clearer sound.

At this time, the sentinel rushed over from outside, knelt down and said, "Report, outside, General Wei is fighting with Liang Jun in the Zhizhou area."

After hearing this, Rong Che flew up to a high cliff in silence, and everyone looked up. Their lord stood on the cliff in military uniform, like a god of heaven to soothe everyone's uneasiness. Although her eyes were indifferent, they were unusually calm and powerful. Her voice was shallow but unshakeable, they heard her say.

"Soldiers, outside the mountain is our land of Daxia, and above the land are the people of Daxia, and this place will become the last cemetery of the Liang army." She shouted, "Soldiers, I need you to share with me!" I will be used as bait to lure Liang Jun into the cave, are you afraid of death?"

All the soldiers drew their swords from their waists and shouted in unison, "Don't be afraid."

"Today's sacrifice may never be known forever, do you regret it?"

"Willing to follow the general, kill, kill, kill."

"Okay. Everything must be done according to military orders."

The fight between Wei Changdong and King Jingyuan was quite hard. For fear of revealing his intentions, Wei Changdong had to grit his teeth and try to attack. According to the previous plan, he first brought out 2 people, and then every other stick of incense, he brought out another 1 from the mountain. He intended to make King Jingyuan think that the continuous increase in troops was only due to a passage in the mountain, and this plan seemed to have succeeded.

But what Wei Changdong didn't expect was that after the third false troop increase, it was Rong Che himself who led the troop. He and Rong Che looked at each other on the horse, and Rong Che stabbed in from his side with a calm gaze and a sword. When King Jingyuan saw Rong Che's figure, he glared and ordered an arrow to shoot Rong Che to death.

The two sides fought fiercely for a day and a night. The generals of Liang Jun saw Xia Jun rushing into Zhizhou without anyone noticing, and they also became interested in the east-west passage. He was also constantly mobilizing troops to fight Rong Che. Wei Changdong saw that almost all the Liang army had been dispatched here, so he exchanged glances with Rong Che. Rong Che immediately led part of the Xia army back towards Youheng Mountain, while Wei Changdong was still fighting with all his strength. Buy her time.

In the eyes of Liang Jun generals, this scene meant to flee in a hurry, so they ordered additional troops to chase Xia Jun one after another.Wei Chang fought and retreated to the bottom of the mountain, and hid in the mountain along the way he came. At this time, General Liang Jun chased to the bottom of the mountain and was about to enter the mountain to pursue it, but King Jingyuan had doubts.

He said, "The terrain in the mountain is complicated, if you enter the mountain rashly, you will inevitably be ambushed."

General Liang Jun said, "What are you afraid of? We have an army of 20 troops. As long as we conquer this mountain, the West Five States will be in our pocket."

Another Liang Jun general said, "However, what the prince said is not unreasonable." He paused and then said, "Well, let's send someone to lead [-] soldiers and horses in to have a look first, I don't know who is willing to do this spy Mountain Pioneer?"

Since the beginning of the war, it has always been King Jingyuan who led the troops to be the vanguard, just because he was eager to ask for help in front of Emperor Liang, but since he defeated the Eastern Five States, he was not as active as before, and now it is impossible to ask him to risk his life .The generals of Liang Jun also knew what he was thinking. Although they felt contemptuous in their hearts, they also knew that they needed to use him to continue negotiating with Xia Guo, so they could only smile falsely.

The general of Liang Jun just said, "I don't think there will be any major problems inside. The appearance of Xia Jun's commander just now is clearly planning to escape. If we hesitate any longer, we may lose the opportunity if the other side's reinforcements arrive. Since you If you don’t go, then this general will not pass up this opportunity to make meritorious service.” He kicked the horse’s belly fiercely, and rushed into the mountain with the people behind him.

Not long after, there was a commotion inside, but it wasn't very loud. General Liang Jun was a little puzzled, but he heard another general beside him say, "There is a commotion, but it means that it is indeed not the ambush that the prince said, and it is inevitable to escape from the mountains. General Ye must have met those people."

Sure enough, a small group of people came out from inside after a while and reported the situation clearly. It was indeed what the general said just now, since he entered the mountain, he had encountered ambushes everywhere, but only one group of people had been killed by General Ye, so there was nothing to be afraid of. .

General Liang Jun laughed loudly and said, "You Xia Jun has lost his wife and lost his troops. You originally wanted to attack us, but it turned out to be a good time for us to enter the West Five States." He said with the rest of the soldiers and horses Run towards the mountains.

As soon as King Jingyuan raised his hand, the people behind him understood the meaning and slowed down their pace. His troops were all the elite soldiers he brought over from the Kingdom of Xia. They had followed him for many years and naturally followed his example.

Here is some distance from the nearest city of Zhizhou, the wind blew out the sound from the mountain clearly, after a stick of incense passed, the sound of horseshoes from inside was still steady and orderly, although he hesitated, he still led people slowly Drive into the mountains.

It wasn't until the dust raised by the last horseshoe landed that Wei Changdong appeared outside the mountain with a ghostly figure. He raised his hand, and the two lieutenants beside him immediately gave the military order knowingly, and dozens of people rolled down the mountaintop. A huge boulder raised a huge cloud of dust, and when the dust settled, the road out of the mountain was also blocked.
