stubborn thief

Chapter 179
He Huchen is very considerate.

Like a timely rain, the medicines, tents, campfires, and clothes racks and clothes poles are ready for Lions Camp.

Of course, Gao Yingdeng is also a kind person. Thanks to him, Lion Camp once again had horse meat.

As the No. 1 captured officer in the history of the Lion Camp, Liu Chengzong focused on his education: "Look at Huang Shengxiao, who went into the enemy's rear with bare buttocks and chopped down a bunch of musketeers, and then fired the cannons when he came back. That's called bravery."

"Look at you again. You run faster than anyone else. A fierce son is in the infantry formation. Is there anyone who uses cavalry like this? You are so unscrupulous!"

Gao Yingdeng was lying on the couch with a droopy face, holding a fire in his hand, embarrassed: "I used to charge like this, that's what Ningsaiying taught me, if I can't move, I'll find another opportunity, and if I make a move, I'll go straight in. It's time to crash."

"You don't even look at the terrain, do they have a ground collapse? Hundreds of people are blocking the path...Forget it, you are really brave. I don't feel sorry for these horses, but I am afraid that if you die, I will lose a general."

Liu Chengzong looked at Gao Yingdeng and said, "I will let you charge in the future, and you will charge again, okay?"

Gao Yingdeng lay on the couch and nodded repeatedly, Liu Chengzong gave up, walked out of the military tent and breathed out the fresh air in the rainy mountain forest.

This matter made Liu Chengzong very angry. This is obviously a person who has never experienced the battle of Li Bei.

In fact, Gao Yingdeng was holding a fire in his hand, otherwise this matter would never end.

Do not disturb the children while eating.

The mountains and forests were verdant, and after the extremely exhausted battle, the sergeants of the Lion Camp slept peacefully in their tents, with only the crackling sound of rainwater hitting the tents and campfires.

Song Shouzhen sat cross-legged by the bonfire, and just as he was about to start a tune with the erhu, he was called into the army tent by Liu Chengzong, raised his hand and pressed a small book on the wooden table, and said, "Write it down for me, each sentry team Prepare rain gear, firearms and rain shields, and the gun posts carry folding gun sheds."

After Song Shouzhen finished writing these, Liu Chengzong put away his notebook and told him not to play music to disturb the rest of the soldiers, and then let him go back.

Liu Chengzong wore a dry plain singlet, and sat in front of the military tent listening to the rain with a horse.

This season is not cold, but the clothes on the body are wet, even if you wear a cotton jacket for a long time, you will freeze to death.

The right sleeve of the clothes had a big tear and was ripped off by him.

His right arm had just been stitched by a doctor, and he couldn't use it for a short time.

No one hacked at him, maybe the bow's strength was lost due to the water-soaked tendons, or maybe it was time to use it too much, and he didn't have time to look at the battlefield in such a mess.

Anyway, he was hit on the arm by a broken bow, if he hadn't been wearing cotton armor and iron armbands, it would have caused a murder.

Now it's just a few stitches on the flesh wound, lucky enough.

It's just a pity that the ninety catties strong bow.

After a while, Fan Sanlang in coir raincoat trotted over, holding a pot of soup medicine: "General, ginger soup."

Liu Chengzong took the ginger soup with a nod, and asked slowly, "Did the Zhanfu soldiers drink it?"

"There are still some that haven't been drunk, and Li Laozhen didn't drink it. Just now, the baggage sentry asked, will they be given to the prisoners this time?"

"The people in the Lion Camp drink it first, cook it for Li Laozheng's men after drinking, and then let them go to cause trouble for He Huchen."

Fan Sanlang nodded in response and went down to report the message. After delivering the message, he saw Liu Chengzong was still sitting in that posture, with his face upright looking at the mountain, and stood beside him.

After standing for a while, Liu Chengzong turned his head and asked, "Why are you standing here if you're not going to sleep?"

"The general is thinking about how to defeat the enemy, I will protect you."

This answer made Liu Chengzong laugh, he raised his arms and pointed at the mountain, "Isn't it beautiful?"

Fan Sanlang nodded.

"What strategy do you want to defeat the enemy? I'm watching the mountains and listening to the rain."

Liu Chengzong smiled, now it was afternoon, they got up in the middle of the night, and it was still dark after walking a few miles, marching and fighting, everyone was exhausted.

"The lieutenant general and the whistle chief are all asleep. I will hold on for a while, and I will sleep again when they wake up."

Liu Chengzong glanced at Fan Sanlang while talking, then turned his head and frowned and looked back: "When did I get myself an arrow cluster and put it on, so I'm not afraid of pricking myself."

Fan Sanlang wore an iron arrow with three edges smoothed on his neck, Liu Chengzong reprimanded him: "I don't know if that mud monkey was almost killed by the arrow today, so pick it off quickly."

What the mud monkey was talking about was Huang Shengxiao. That guy had an arrowhead, which was also tied around his neck with a rope.

Said that the arrow knocked off half of his ear, hundreds of arrows did not kill him, good luck with it.

Today he took off all his clothes, except he was wearing the arrowhead. He was not killed by the gunner when he was grabbing the gun, but he fell and was almost killed by his own arrowhead.

Mentioning the arrow, Fan Sanlang had a complex expression, lowered his head and said softly: "This is the arrow that killed Fan Sanlang."

"Then I'll find you a piece of leather later, and you sew it up and wrap it up yourself."

Although Liu Chengzong did not ask about Fan Sanlang's situation in detail, from the situation of the girl using a boy's name and what happened to Fan Jiashan, one can guess what kind of story it is.

He shook his head and sighed softly: "You buried your bones in the mud of the spring, and I sent my head full of snow in the world."

"Bai Juyi dreams of Yuan Zhen?"

Yo!
Actually know.

Liu Chengzong clapped his hands, then shook his head and said, "Poems are good, but too bitter."

Life is already very bitter, why bother to chew yellow lotus.

He turned his head and said, "Besides, you're not that old yet, and you're after something happy."

Fan Sanlang nodded, looked at Qingshan, then turned his head for a moment: "What poems does the general like?"

"What do you think?"

"The general likes listening to the rain so much, the spring water is as clear as the sky, painting a boat and listening to the rain sleep?"

Liu Chengzong was happy: "Since entering Shaanxi, have you seen spring water? I like it. Millions of bandits are besieged in Nanyang, and there is no rescue or food."

Fan Sanlang was still a little sad at first, but now he suppressed it all, thought carefully, and asked: "What kind of poem is this, what about the second half of the sentence?"

"One day the city will be destroyed, and those who cry for their father will cry for their father, and those who cry for their mother will cry for their mother."

Both of them smiled, and Fan Sanlang was overjoyed, and then he restrained his smile and said, "Is this what Liu Chengzong, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, did?"

"Hmm...how is it possible? It was written in the Tang Dynasty by Zhang Dayou, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The poem is titled Besieged City."

"Is there really this poem?"

Liu Chengzong nodded very seriously, and Fan Sanlang blinked, still feeling that Liu Chengzong was lying to her.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes stepping on the mud came from the Shangping dirt road, and Chengyun in his coir raincoat came back with a snot in his nose.

He walked up to Liu Chengzong, shook his head and said, "I found it in a ravine. Zhao Xi, like Feng Wenchang, is dead."

Liu Chengzong closed his eyes when he heard the words, raised his head and sighed: "It's really hard."

Both Zhao Xi and Feng Wenchang were the captains of Gao Xian's posts. There were five posts in each post, similar to Bai Zong in the army.

There are a total of eight outposts in the Lion Camp, including the front, back, middle, left, and right, and six are combat outposts. The outpost Yang Yao is on the west side of Huanglong Mountain, and the middle outpost is in the rear, so a total of twenty captains participated in this battle.

Chengyun also pursed his lips and exhaled through his nose, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Qianxi, the left captain of the back post, died of shelling; Sun Guoyong, the back captain, had his left arm broken and was still feverish."

"The left captain of the left whistle practiced a large weapon to defend against the enemy on the left wing mountain ridge. He was shot in the forehead and woke up alive and kicking."

"Feng Wenchang, the former captain of the right post, was hit by four arrows in a fight with the enemy on the right mountain ridge. Zhao Xi, the rear captain, fell off the cliff, and Gao Yingdeng, the squadron leader, rushed into the formation and was surrounded and trampled by many people."

Chengyun paused and said: "In this battle, 33 auxiliary soldiers were killed, 41 were seriously injured, [-] soldiers were killed, [-] of them were captains, and three captains were killed and three were seriously injured."

"560 and six officers and soldiers were killed by beheading, trampling, and falling, and 720 were captured. In the camp, the right whistle was the heaviest casualty, and the right whistle was the most captured."

Liu Chengzong nodded slowly, he knew why the right whistle had so many casualties and captured so many gains.

Wang Wenxiu's back post bears the greatest pressure, but both sides in the official fight in the middle are fully armored, and they fight back and forth for a long time. In fact, they will only die if they are shot or hit in the cheek.

The biggest casualties of the rear post came from the thirteen shelling before the close combat.

One or two small artillery shells were either killed or maimed next to each other.

But the battle on the left and right wings is different.

In order to climb the hillside to occupy the battlefield, both the enemy and the enemy are lightly armed, and the left post is shot down by the officers and soldiers because of the cliff, so it has no advantage.

The right whistle directly climbed up the mountain ridge to fight with the officers and soldiers. One captain was killed in the battle, and the other captain slipped and fell off the cliff and hit his head on a stone.

Moreover, Gao Yingdeng, who was captured by his own people on the right post, rushed into the enemy's formation and was almost trampled to death himself, let alone his soldiers.

The casualties were within Liu Chengzong's psychological tolerance, but the captain's loss still made him very sad.

Liu Chengzong nodded again, and said to Chengyun: "I see, you have been busy all day, go drink some ginger soup, and have a good sleep."

"This battle was fought very well, brother, don't be sad."

Cheng Yun bit his lip, not knowing how to comfort him, so he simply stopped, shaking his head and said: "Brother, there is another person you need to meet, maybe seeing him will make you happier."

Want to meet someone?
Chengyun picked up another prisoner, the one with a higher rank than Gao Yingdeng?
Liu Chengzong was thinking like this, when he saw Chengyun waving his hand not far away, a man who had just tied up his horse and wore a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat came forward.

He took off the hat, it was He Yong.

"You, how did you find this place, are you crazy?"

Liu Chengzong first looked at Cheng Yun and then at He Yong: "It's a war, why did you come here?"

"I've been captured again." He Yong said it as it should be, and he turned around and pointed to the big mud footprints on the back of his coir raincoat: "I said, General Lion, can you tell your Tang soldiers not to see people? Just beat it, several times."

"This is a battlefield. I'll be merciful if I kill you with an arrow if I don't meet you."

Liu Chengzong got up and let go of his emotions, handed the Mazha to Fan Sanlang, greeted He Yong and said, "Say it."

He Yong was quite polite. He took off his coir raincoat, bamboo hat and dirty boots at the door as soon as he entered the tent, and then sat on the blanket and complained: "You don't tell me when you set off, I have searched for several people in Yanchuan Today, I went to Yichuan to look for it again, and after asking around, I found out that I entered Huanglong Mountain."

Liu Chengzong didn't answer: "No, if you come to me, what will happen to Yuhebao if you are blocked by the officers and soldiers?"

"It can't be blocked, I just wanted to tell you, don't talk to He Huchen, just go west, but you're going too fast."

He Yong spread his hands and said, "But you walked too fast and missed."

Liu Chengzong frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Wang Jiayin has returned to Fugu, and returned with a full load, but this time, something happened to him."

"What happened?"

"That's right, Governor Hong is here to arrest corrupt officials. Zhang Nian, whom you bribed, has been tricked. General Yang Maochun, who was bribed by Wang Jiayin, and Wang Weizhen, the officer of the papaya garden, have all happened."

He Yong spread his hands and said, "But before those two have had time to do it, Li Zhao, the deputy general of the Gushan Camp, entered Papaya Castle on the second day of June, and scolded Wang Weizhen, saying that he deserves death."

"This old man is a ruthless one. That night, Wang Jiayin was anxious to break through the castle he was stationed in, and set fire to Li Zhao, the lieutenant general, in the official office. It was a direct rebellion."

Liu Chengzong stared straight at this, this Wang Weizhen is really ruthless, it is equivalent to He Renlong asking Liu Chengzong to fish Hebao.

"It's not over. In the early morning of the fourth day of June, Wang Jiayin went to Huangfuchuan. He wanted to invite General Yang Maochun to do important things together. General Yang accepted a lot of bribes from him, but he didn't want to rebel. It turned out that the General Secretary was Wang Jiayin's man. His name was Quan Wuxi, and he killed Yang Maochun in Kaicheng."

"Entering the Qingshui camp at noon that day, the soldiers in the camp Chen Tianfu, Jiang Qiu, and Jiang Xia are Wang Jiayin's internal agents, and they opened the city as usual, killing and looting."

"Going back to Fugu on the fifth day of the new year, Nei Ying seems to be called, grandma, what is the name of Li, ah, Li Guoxuan, who kidnapped his parents, Guo Huacheng, and Wang Jiayin himself picked a man who lives in Liaodong, named Liang Yingke, and immediately took office as a false county magistrate."

A series of news from northern Xinjiang confuse Liu Chengzong.

From Huangfuchuan to Gushanbao, the four forts along the edge of Fugu County were all taken away by Wang Jiayin.

Moreover, the meaning of provocation is very strong. Hong Chengchou took office on the first day of June, Wang Jiayin returned to northern Shaanxi, and began to pull out the fort on the fourth day.

If it weren't for knowing that Wang Jiayin was too far away to receive news from his side, Liu Chengzong would have thought that Wang Jiayin was fighting with him.

But just relying on this kind of communication and relying on Tuomeng's coordinated combat, the two of them seem to be playing pretty well.

Liu Chengzong digested the information for a while, and then asked He Yong: "Now, what should Hong Chengchou do when Wang Jiayin makes such a big commotion?"

"It must be done. We will send Yin Tixin, the deputy general of the Central Army, and Bai Yiqing, who is in charge of Yulin Road and Shenmu Road, to lead the army to conquer, but I have asked General He."

He Yongshen said mysteriously: "I don't know why, but the general said that as long as Wang Jiayin defends the city, these two probably won't be able to handle Wang Jiayin."

"Actually, the general asked me to report this letter to you. He said that when I saw you, news from Yulin Town should have been sent to Du Wenhuan. If it can't be done, Du Wenhuan must be called back."

When He Yong said these things, he was actually in a rather sluggish state, until he finished speaking, as if he had just come to life, his eyes glowed, and his body leaned forward.

He whispered: "General Liu, is this news enough to pay the court's arrears?"

"Then you can stay with me for a while. If Du Wenhuan really withdraws his troops, he will rush you across the battlefield to find me. I will definitely give you the 110 five."

Liu Chengzong stood up while speaking, opened the curtain and looked out.

As Chengyun said, meeting He Yong and learning the news he brought really made him feel much better.

Liu Chengzong turned his head: "However, this is not owed wages, the court still owes you, this is my reward for you."

　Good afternoon!
