Chapter 580 Died in Sleep

In Taiyuan Inspector's Mansion, Li Jing came late, the two sat opposite each other in the study, Wang Meng poured a cup of tea for Li Jing, Wang Meng smiled and said: "Two good news, one bad news, which one should I listen to first?"

Li Jing took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, let me guess!"

"Then I'll see how clever you are!" Wang Meng laughed loudly.

Li Jing stretched out a finger and pondered: "The first good news should be that Zhang Yan has been transferred away!"

Wang Meng nodded and said: "That's right, according to the news from the Jizhou scouts, Zhang Yan and Sun Qing have already appeared in Yuan Shao's army, and Chun Yuqiong replaced Zhang Yan. Now the Taihang Mountain defenders are playing under the banner of Zhang Yan, but it's just a deception. In fact, Chunyu Qiong led [-] troops from Jizhou to garrison."

"Chunyu Qiong? This is a mediocre person. In this way, the defense of Taihang Mountain is like a fake to me!" Li Jing's eyes flashed, and he sneered.

Wang Meng looked at Li Jing and said with a smile: "The pharmacist is confident, but although Chun Yuqiong is a mediocre person, his defense is just like Zhang Yan's, without any change."

"Haha!" Li Jing stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Although the defense has not changed, the commander and soldiers have. After all, Chunyu Qiong is not Zhang Yan. The soldiers guarding them will definitely make mistakes. If Chunyu Qiong follows Zhang Yan's deployment completely Let’s do it, so Chunyu Qiong is on the side of Huguan, that’s okay, I just borrowed him to do some writing.”

"So you want to attack Yecheng, Yuan Shao's lair?" Wang Meng sensed Li Jing's purpose.

Li Jing shook his head and said: "Not only that, what I want is not only to besiege Wei and save Zhao, but also to besiege the city and fight for aid!"

Wang Meng stroked his beard and laughed: "You are really generous, and you are going to turn Jizhou upside down again? Then I will wait and see. You guessed the first good news. What about the next two? Let's see if you can do it." Can't say it."

Li Jing took another sip of his tea, and said in a deep voice: "The other good news and the bad news should be connected together. The two battlefields in the west and south of Qingzhou should be stabilized while the other is weak. Yuan Shao is incompetent, It should be General Chen Qingzhi who dealt with Yuan Shao and stabilized the situation in the west. But Zhao Kuangyin is strong, and General Lin Renzhao is hard to deal with!"

Wang Meng clapped the case and exclaimed: "Hey, it's really a clever plan. General Chen Qingzhi on the western front first set fire to the food and grass used by Yuan Shao's [-] vanguards. This delayed Yuan Shao's march until the rainy season. Now Yuan Shao's soldiers are miserable due to the rainy season. For the time being, there is no threat to General Chen Qingzhi."

"What about General Lin on the southern front? He has a lot of soldiers and horses, and a lot of young and strong civilians, so it shouldn't be..." Li Jing frowned.

"Zhao Kuangyin didn't attack General Lin Renzhao's line of defense, but according to Yanzhou and Xuzhou Jinyiwei's reports, Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers and horses are in Weishui, and the glue is still building dams and relocating people." Wang Meng explained.

Li Jing suddenly realized, and said solemnly: "Zhao Kuangyin is planning to flood the North Sea for a while. General Lin's defense lines are all close to these rivers. Once the flood comes, there is nothing to do. It seems that the southern line is indeed in decline."

"General Lin has already prepared ships and dismissed the people. If Zhao Kuangyin breaks the defense on the southern line, the situation in Qingzhou will be worrisome. Is it time for you to dispatch?" Wang Meng looked at Li Jing and asked.

Li Jing nodded and said, "It's time, Brother Jing Lue, I wonder how much food and grass you have raised during this time?"

Wang Meng replied: "I have brought out all the grain and grass that can be used in Bingzhou for you, which can support the [-] army for a month. It just so happens that the wheat is ripe now, and the support of new grain will not delay the resettlement of the barbarians. thing."

"It's hard work, but we don't need so much food and grass, and our army can't stay in Jizhou for too long. When the time comes, the food and grass will be made into durable dry food, and it only takes ten days!"

Wang Meng nodded: "Okay, let me know when the time comes, and I will prepare everything you want!"

"When the time comes, I will send you a message. I will take action when the time comes, so I won't wait any longer!" Li Jing drank his tea and said goodbye.

After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Li Jing brought a few personal guards to a deep mountain outside Taiyuan City, where two thousand soldiers selected from the camp and the Taiyuan Army practiced mountain warfare.

"The last general has seen the general!" In front of a cliff, Chen Dao, Pei Jun, Gao Shun and other three generals bowed their hands to Li Jing.

"You don't need to be too polite, how is the training of the soldiers now?" Li Jing asked the three of them up.

"Look, general!" Pei Jun pointed to the cliff, and saw dozens of soldiers throwing hook ropes towards the cliff. The soldiers grabbed the rope and climbed up the rock. After a while, they grabbed the top of the cliff.The soldiers who climbed up quickly retracted the noose, and the soldiers waiting below followed suit.

Li Jing nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, how are the five thousand soldiers trained and distributed?"

Chen Dao arched his hands and replied: "All five thousand soldiers have to practice marching in the mountains, and now it is no problem to cross mountains and mountains. Among them, another five hundred soldiers practiced hook rope climbing and assassination skills. General Pei Jun stayed in Yangzhou , he was born as a hunter, and he is responsible for all these things."

Pei Jun shook his head and smiled wryly: "The last general is only proficient in climbing. As for the assassination technique, His Majesty sent the dark guards from the Jinyi Guards to teach him."

Li Jing nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask: "What about the other soldiers, what are they practicing?"

"The other soldiers all practice fighting with short knives. In addition to armor and fighting tools, they are also masters at fighting with short knives." As Chen Dao said, he led Li Jing to a mountain forest, and saw a large number of people in the forest. Thousands of soldiers fought in two pairs, all wearing leather armor and holding short knives.

I saw that the short knife was no more than two chi five in length, no more than two fingers wide, the hilt was as long as the kidney, and the back of the knife was slightly upturned.It is more like a sword than a knife.

"This knife is good. It is light, flexible and easy to carry. It weighs no more than three catties. It is suitable for fighting in the mountains and forests." Li Jing weighed and gestured in his hand, quite fond of this knife.

"It was sent by His Majesty, who said it was called Tang Dao." Chen Dao replied.

Li Jing nodded and was quite satisfied with the training results of these soldiers in the past few months.Looking at Pei Jun, he said: "It's time to raise soldiers and use them for a thousand days, and now it's time to use you. General Yuen Long, you can gather fifty soldiers who are proficient in assassination techniques and come with me!"

Pei Jun was overjoyed: "The last general has been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Li Jing didn't rest even when the time was up, so he took Pei Jun out that night. In a depression in the northern part of Taihang Mountain, this was already the border of Jizhou.

Li Jing led Pei Jun out day and night, and at night they came to a checkpoint, the fire above the checkpoint, Yuan Jun's soldiers leaned against the wall and fell asleep soundly.

"When Sun Qing was there, the scouts came to report. Yuan Jun guarding the pass was rotated in two shifts, and the guards were heavily guarded. Now that the soldiers and horses have been changed, and the generals have changed, it will be very different!" Li Jing looked at the Chengguan and said with a sneer.

"If it wasn't for the general's plan to separate Sun Qing and Zhang Yan, I'm afraid it would be difficult for our army to cross this barrier!" Pei Jun exclaimed.

Li Jing pondered: "Tonight I inspected three checkpoints in a row, and they are all so lax. With your ability, can you solve these soldiers without anyone noticing, and take the city pass?"

"From here to Jingjing Pass, there are more than a dozen checkpoints in a row. If they are so lax and our army stays out day and night, within five days, I can take down all the gates except Jingjing Pass without anyone noticing! " Pei Jun patted his chest and assured.

"There are 3000 soldiers at Jingjingguan, and the remaining 200 troops are distributed among various checkpoints. Each checkpoint can have about 250 to [-] soldiers. I will give you [-] soldiers who practice assassination techniques. You can't escape a single one. Can it be done?" Li Jing stared at Pei Jun and asked.

Pei Jun nodded confidently and said: "The general can do it! If the general doesn't believe me, I will use these fifty soldiers to take this level!"

Li Jing shook his head and said, "No hurry, I'm going to hit Huguan first, let's go back!"

A few days later, Li Jing went south to Huguan with [-] soldiers practicing assassination techniques led by Pei Jun, Gao Shun and Chen Dao.In the middle of the night, in front of a city gate to the east of Huguan, Li Jing looked at the city gate and said with a sneer, "Chunyuqiong is stationed here, and the Shangdang doesn't have many soldiers and horses to threaten them. At this level, don't let anyone live!"

"Yes!" The second general took the order, Chen Dao, Pei Jun waved his hand, and led dozens of soldiers to the city gate quietly. After throwing the hook rope, dozens of soldiers quickly climbed up along the hook rope.

After quietly going up to the city gate, the soldier took out the dagger and wiped it on the necks of the sleeping soldiers.

At the same time, dozens of muffled groans sounded, and dozens of Yuan Jun who were patrolling the city gate became ghosts under the sword in someone's sleep.Then the door was closed and opened, and the soldiers behind quietly entered the city gate and massacred the soldiers stationed behind the city gate.

After half an hour, Pei Jun went out to meet Li Jing, cupped his hands and said, "General, all the Yuan troops in the pass have been wiped out, and no one escaped."

"How about the casualties?" Li Jing asked.

"There were no casualties in our army, but there were a few frizzy hands and feet that woke up Yuan Jun and injured a dozen brothers!" Pei Jun replied with hands clasped.

"Good job, Gao Shun, you quickly tuned the pot to pass the camp and came to station here. Pei Jun, you and Chen Dao continue to move, stay day and night, and win all the checkpoints within five days!" Li Jing ordered in a deep voice. road.

In the next few days, under the leadership of Chen Dao and Pei Jun, these five hundred soldiers went out day and night, regardless of capturing the checkpoint guarded by Yuan Jun.While Li Jing was in the rear, he used the other [-] soldiers to occupy the captured city gates.

Five days later, Li Jing had already entered Jizhou, and there was only the last checkpoint ahead, where there were [-] soldiers, Chunyuqiong was also stationed here.After passing this pass, they were out of the range of Taihang Mountain, and Li Jing's soldiers and horses could go south directly to Yecheng.
