The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 104
All the soldiers left the camp one after another, leaving only a few people, all of whom were generals of the first army, Wu Yong, Zeng Xiaoyun, Lu Junyi, Song Jiang, Zhang Shuye, Lin Chong and six others stayed in the camp.

Lu Junyi said in a deep voice: "Marshal, the general thinks that you can't go deep into the enemy's camp, and you can't be without a commander in the army for a day. If the enemy finds that our commander is not there, they will definitely step up their attacks. In addition, there is no commander in the army, and the morale of the army is shaken. There may be changes in the confrontation between the army. The last general hopes that the marshal will think twice before acting!"

Wu Yong, Zeng Xiaoyun, Song Jiang and others also stared at Zhao Gou intently. Their intentions were the same as Lu Junyi's, and they did not want Zhao Gou to take risks and go deep into the enemy camp alone, and they were still the commander of an army.If the chief and deputy generals go there, the military order is like a mountain, and it cannot be done. If the commander of an army goes there, then it is unreasonable.

Zhao Gou smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, generals, this decision was made after careful consideration. It's really not my style for you to charge into the battle. As the commander, I guard the barracks. In addition, our army knows nothing about the situation of the Fang La thief army. Knowing the situation of the generals after the battle, but not knowing the situation in the city is not good for us."

"I entrusted the army to the generals to make a good plan. During my absence, you will be the supreme commanders of the armies. After the four cities are broken, I will come back to meet you, and maybe I can play a role in it." Unexpected results. You must keep in mind that you must not reveal my whereabouts. Even if I am captured by the enemy, you must not waver in any way and pretend that you do not know me.

"If you break through the city, your first task is not to continue the attack, but to recuperate before launching an attack, and to appease the people in each city. If the enemy army is coming in a storm, you don't have to confront him head-on and fight in a roundabout way. The confrontation between the two armies is bitter. It is the common people, we must strictly enforce military discipline and not disturb the people, otherwise we will be dealt with by military law.”

Everyone respectfully replied: "The last general takes orders!"

Military adviser Wu Yong continued: "I know that the marshal has made up his mind, and he must go to the enemy's camp to find out the truth. The general dare not object. However, I would like to ask the marshal to agree to the general's request. I wonder if the marshal can agree?" Gou looked at Wu Yong curiously, beckoned him to continue, "Marshal goes to the enemy camp alone, I am not at ease, as long as Marshal leads Lin Chong brothers to go together, we can rest assured."

The reason why Lin Chong was left behind was that Wu Yong, the military adviser, felt that Zhao Gou went deep into the enemy camp alone, and it was really hard for him to feel at ease.Zhao Gou had made up his mind again, and no one could persuade him. The only way was to let Lin Chong and Zhao Gou go together.If Zhao Gou was in danger alone and no one brought any news, it would be very dangerous.

Zhao Gou caught a glimpse of Lin Chong's steadfast eyes and the worry on his face, so he nodded and agreed, "Then Coach Lin will go with me."

Lin Chong was overjoyed when he heard it.To be honest, Zhao Gou admired Zhao Gou's martial arts very much. He was hard to beat with two fists, especially when he went deep into the enemy's camp.Besides, Lin Chong was his senior brother, so Lu Junyi was relieved, while the others liked Lin Chong's martial arts and resourcefulness, so they were naturally relieved.

So, Zhao Gou and Lin Chong dressed up in disguise and quietly left the barracks in the dark of night.After they left, Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and other generals walked out of the camp, looking at Zhao Gou's leaving back with unison.Everyone looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed, and then went back to their tents.

Lin Chong followed behind Zhao Gou, and the two walked southward without stopping.Zhao Gou didn't ride a horse, but went on foot, because he was going to go to Hangzhou City disguised as a refugee. Only a refugee who fled could sneak into Hangzhou City, enter the enemy's rear, and investigate the truth.

"Marshal, are we really going on foot?" Lin Chong followed behind Zhao Gou and asked in confusion.

"Brother, if you are not in the barracks anymore, you don't need to call Marshal, lest the walls have ears." Zhao Gou nodded and said, "The purpose of our trip is to enter Hangzhou City and find out the facts. If we go on horseback or pretend to be businessmen, we will definitely Get the attention of Fang Lajun, then we will be in danger."

"When we pass through Changzhou, we enter Suzhou by waterway, and enter Hangzhou City directly along the waterway. When the army sends troops to attack the city, we have to arrive first, and then find a way to pass the news on. If the information we get is not passed on, All your efforts will be in vain.”

Lin Chong also nodded in agreement, and he also felt that what Zhao Gou said made sense.So Lin Chong obeyed Zhao Gou's order and joined the ranks of the refugees. Wherever the refugees went, they followed.Moreover, Zhao Gou marked the road along the way.When the huge refugee team kept moving south, Lin Chong and Zhao Gou's clothes were all dirty, and they hadn't bathed for dozens of days. They endured hunger all the way and kept following the team.

Moreover, the current identities of Zhao Gou and Lin Chong have also changed. The two have become brothers, with Lin Chong as the elder brother and Zhao Gou as the younger brother.Both Zhao Gou and Lin Chong's names were changed to Ling Tian and Ling Zhong.

At the same time, Song Jiang and Lu Junyi led the army to attack the city according to the route set by Zhao Gou.At the beginning, Lu Shumi led six officials to flee from the city and went directly to Changzhou Ling County.Qian Zhenpeng, the original city guard in Changzhou, had two lieutenants under his command: one was Shanghaoren of Jinling County, surnamed Jin Mingjie; the other was Xu Ding, Qian Zhenpeng's confidant.

Qian Zhenpeng was originally from the capital of Qingxi County. He had assisted Fang La and made many military exploits.After Lu Shumi was defeated, he fled to Changzhou City. When Qian Zhenpeng heard that he was coming, he led Jin Jie, Xu Ding and a thousand elite soldiers to welcome him at the gate of the city. Policy.

Lu Shumi saw that the Song Army's combat effectiveness was strong, and it was not as reckless as before.At this time, he no longer thinks about recovering Runzhou City, but thinks about how to protect Changzhou City. Based on his understanding of the commander of the Song Army, he will definitely attack Changzhou City, and said in a deep voice: "Master Qian, at this time Our army cannot attack by force. When the Song army arrives, we will go out of the city to fight. As for the lost city, we will report the situation to the emperor."

Qian Zhenpeng asked: "Mr. Lu, is the Song army really so powerful?"

Lu Shumi nodded, and said solemnly: "I fought twice with the Song army. The first time was Runzhou City. The Song army sent people to confuse everyone's eyes and ears, and made a surprise attack into the city. In desperation, I had to retreat to Dantu County, I never thought that the Song army would send Guan Sheng here, and the two armies would fight, and our army would suffer heavy losses."

"Although the truth is that I have never seen the commander-in-chief of the Song Army, but this man's ability to dispatch troops is indeed extraordinary. If our army sends troops rashly, there must be no generals in Changzhou City. If the Song Army comes again, we can only If you can be beaten passively, Changzhou City will definitely fall, and then you will have no face to go back to meet the emperor."

Qian Zhenpeng asked again: "So, according to Xiang Lu, what should our army do?"

Lu Shumi pondered for a moment, and replied: "Master Qian, you can let the army prepare, five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, to strengthen the refugees and ordinary people entering and leaving Changzhou City. If there is any suspect, immediately send someone to monitor, and there is no need to To disturb the people, so as not to cause panic among the people, our army must be ready to fight at any time, now we just need to wait quietly for the Song army to come, and then we will discuss countermeasures."

After Qian Zhenpeng heard about the power of Song Jun, and Lu Shumi's official position was much higher than him, he knew that Lu Shumi would not speak wild words, Song Jun must be really not simple, he had to obey orders.However, Lu Shumi, Qian Zhenpeng and others never dreamed that the head coach of the Song Army had already entered Changzhou City.
