From the overall situation, Hedong River is guarded by the Yellow River and the north of the Yellow River. Xijing is an important place in the east. These two places are important to the Sui Dynasty, otherwise the rebels can attack Xijing when crossing the river.
When the capital of the Qin Dynasty was established, the state of Wei died, because the state of Wei occupied Hedong, established its capital in Anyi, and Pujintun was heavily stationed in Shang Yang, saying to the king of Qin that if a person has a stomach disease, it is either Wei and Qin and Wei.
After the reform of Shang Yang in Qin State, he was strong and defeated Wei State in a bloody battle, forcing Wei State to move its capital from Anyi to Daliang.
After Qin got the land of Hedong, the general of the post-Qin Dynasty leitian repeatedly sent troops from Hedong along this road, so Su Qin had a cloud and Qin Dao moved in Nanyang.
Later, Leitian attacked the wild Wang Changping pit, and the Zhao army almost took the river with 400,000. Therefore, Hedong was very crucial for the big Sui Dynasty. Although Shandong was now opposed to the king’s gathering, Emperor Yangdi immediately sent Li Yuan to mobilize troops to destroy the chaos in Hedong.
Li Chongjiu is convinced that it won’t be long before the rebellion between Chai Baochang and his mother will be extinguished.
Chapter seventy The ambush
When Li Chongjiu and his party were going to take Taihang Mountain Road,
Suddenly, the scouts in the rear returned one after another. A cavalry soldier sweated and reported to Li Chongjiu, "Little escort! Little escort! The thief is coming after him. "
Li Chongjiu frowned slightly when he heard the words. His frown was not that there was an army chasing behind him, but that a qualified amateur detective should accurately tell the Lord about the enemy’s approximate number, the enemy’s serial number and how far it was from the army.
Although the Ministry of Investigation and Riding is an old escort in the Li Family Escort Agency, the escort horses and horses all have good martial arts, but they are not qualified soldiers
"Tell me the specific situation again." Li Chongjiu said at the same time, he immediately sent someone to tell the caravan that there was an enemy pursuit behind him
However, Li Chongjiu summarized the investigation situation of each person and made a preliminary judgment after all the investigation and riding were dispatched for a long time.
The rear is menacing, but Chai Baochang’s red scarf thief team stretches for more than ten miles. The troops should be around 20,000. Now the enemy’s army striker is near his own side, and there is still a little bit of reconnaissance. During the investigation, no cavalry appeared in the other team and no cavalry came out to expel his own cavalry. Obviously, they are all pawns.
At this time, Lin Dangfeng, the steward of the caravan, and Sun Erniang heard that Chai Baochang had sent 20 thousand people to pursue them. They couldn’t help but be frightened to disgrace. With eyes, Li Chongjiu, women and children, and a little strength, let alone twenty thousand people to attack two or three thousand people, it was enough to annihilate the caravan.
That’s all. At this time, everyone was resigned. A shock of 20,000 troops was enough to make everyone die here.
At this moment, a businessman suddenly laughed, "Gentlemen, I have a plan to keep everyone safe."
"Brother Zhou, talk quickly."
Everyone gives birth to expectations. The businessman surnamed Zhou laughed. "We can confuse the sight of thieves and soldiers by refugees. Even if thieves kill us, we can stop them for a while behind the mountain temple. Everyone immediately pulls their own narrow and rugged mountain roads, which makes it difficult for the other side to catch up."
"coup!"
"coup!"
All the businessmen clapped their hands and praised one person for saying, "This is a plan for a strong man to break his wrist and get rid of his shell."
Although the man said so, there was no strong man who broke his wrist and was sad, but he was just a refugee. He died without dying, just to sacrifice.
When all the businessmen took a unanimous decision, they stared at Li Chongjiu with their eyes, because they all knew that Li Chongjiu had brought the knave to break his wrist, and Li Chongjiu would never agree.
At the moment, they are trying to force Li Chongjiu to get things through Li Chongjiu’s selfish face. Look at the bottom of his eyes and sneer at a word. "Several stewards know that the mountain road is narrow. There are more than 200 mules and horses here and thousands of people are crowded. Is it possible to block the pass for a while?"
All the businessmen turned pale when they heard Li Chongjiu’s words, but everyone who doesn’t want to take a step after this time, although everyone knows that Li Chongjiu provoked others, people rose up to refute them.
"That little escort has an idea. Is it possible to fight against twenty thousand thieves with our manpower?" A businessman when ire sarcastically said
Li Chongjiu said, "Of course, I won’t do it if I don’t throw straws against the wind."
"That little escort has a good idea?" All the businessmen asked together.
Li Chongjiu said, "It’s very simple. Our only advantage now is that Chai Baochang doesn’t know whether we are real or not, which is also the reason why I abolished the other side’s riding in one breath. Chai Baochang doesn’t know whether it is real or not. I have 5 thousand troops in my hand, not most of them are old, weak, women and children. We will rely on this!"
Lin Dangfeng said, "I support the idea of less escorts."
"You" saw Lin Dangfeng in charge of the caravan that Li Chongjiu was not angry at the moment.
Li Chongjiu said, "This is what happened. My life is on the line, and everyone still has a letter. But if everyone cares about their own interests, I can say that although they all run to the mountains."
"However, these people may live, but most of them will die, and the enemy will overwhelm us. We will fight first, mess first, and flee from each other. As long as we are timid, we can attack boldly."
After listening to Li Chongjiu’s words, Sun Erniang made a decision and said, "It’s not a bad idea for a thief to dare to attack rashly if he can’t see clearly our actual situation, so he will do as Xiao Jiu says. If someone goes first, I’ll kill him first."
The businessmen saw that the two men were so tough and Garin supported them, so they had to agree
When Li Chongjiu told several refugees to set up virtual flags in several forests nearby, then Li Chongjiu ordered the elite soldiers of the Cangtou Army, the escort of the Li Family Escort Agency, to ambush in the forest, and finally made more than 200 mules and horses of the merchants unload the goods together with the tail tied with branches and run in the distance, which was bound to produce smoke and dust.
Hou Li Chongjiu rode a horse with more than 30 people on a hill in front of him, and took out the skins filled with drinks and dried meat to the hillside to drink and munch on the remaining horses, and put them on the hillside to eat grass by themselves.
After all this, the drums in the distance rolled like dark clouds, and the fundus was dark.
Twenty thousand thieves with red scarves in their heads arrived at the same time and were divided into four armies, each with its own array firmly established.
The flag of Chai Zi in the Chinese army of the other side was slowly launched. More than ten people were riding tall horses and dressed in armor, and it seemed that the thieves were out of place with sticks in their hands and rags.
These more than ten riders have a rough face and a big beard. The burly man is Tu Yang, who was born in Chai Baochang.
More than ten riders stared at the hillside, and Li Chong was riding for more than 90 years. At this moment, a general shouted, "Master, the enemy is few and so slow. Please let me lead the army to capture the master’s heart."
"slow!" Chai Baochang drank a low whip and said, "Are you staring at the hill? You see, there is dust flying in the thick forest in the rear, and there is obviously an ambush hovering around. "
"I guess the enemy deliberately put the riding bike in front and looked unguarded, just to lure our army to attack and wait for our army to move. They can ambush us and we will be defeated."
Listen to Chai Baochang said people are all broke out in a cold sweat before expression that generals quickly said "master! High opinion! It is too presumptuous. "
As soon as this person opens his mouth, the generals will also open their mouths to scold him. Most of them are thieves and cunning.
Chai Baochang nodded slightly and said, "Those people in the Li family escort agency also have some things, but unfortunately they can’t hide them from me."
"Master, what should you do?"
Chai Baochang thought for a moment and said, "Since the enemy troops are hiding in the forest, we will set fire to them!"
Chapter seventy-nine Each bosom idea
Never enter the forest.
Although Chai Baochang was born as a butcher, it did not hinder his understanding of the art of war. Maybe he will become a vassal in time.
Just as Chai Baochang was about to make the Ministry set fire to the forest, he suddenly found that the rambling thirty-odd riders had moved them and rode directly towards Chai Baochang’s banner.
Cover your master!
People are yelling and saying that dozens of celebrities and thieves will erect a group card to protect Chai Baochang.
