Chapter 202 Meat delivered to the mouth
At the head of the ancient city of Liuzhou, commander Luo Ji and deputy commander Liang Guancheng sat opposite each other, looking at the mountains in the distance and were bored.
After helping to manage the victims in Luoyang City, the two entered the camp and field affairs. When the camp and field affairs were drawing personnel from Qinzhou, they came to the northwest together. Later, they joined the army and fought several battles and became lower-level officers. Because they had the qualifications of camp and field affairs, and Luo Ji was very popular, they were loved by the officers and soldiers, and they became the city lords of the city.
He squinted his eyes and watched the sun slowly rise into the air. The mountains in the distance were golden and the rushing Yellow River was like a belt. Luo Ji felt comfortable physically and mentally. Who would have thought that a farmer who had farmed for several generations could be a general, and had made contributions, and had so many people under his command. What was even more incredible is that he could still be the city lord.
At this moment, a soldier ran up to the top of the city and crossed his hands at the two of them: "Command, the commander of the North City asked for a visit!"
"Let him come up!" The soldier left, Luo Ji and Liang Guancheng stood up and sorted out their military uniforms. Over the years, they went from farming to generals, and they were extremely cautious, and they did not dare to take care of these details.
Not long after, Commander Tang, who was stationed in Beimian City, followed the soldiers up and performed manners, and said to Luo Ji: "City Lord, the soldiers in front of him came to report that the large number of thieves at the opposite thieves' pass were leaving the city and heading to their territory. I don't know why. There were not many people stationed at the pass, so many people went out at once, wouldn't it become an empty city? The ancients said that if God did not take it, they would be blamed. We discussed it, it would be better to take this opportunity to snatch the pass!"
Luo Ji was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "What did Lord Du say? If he was settled, he would come and move his articles. I will lead the troops to follow him and say yes."
Liang Guancheng pulled Luo Ji's sleeve and whispered: "City Lord Du has gone to Triangle City because of something. You will take charge of the two cities these days. Have you forgotten?"
Luo Ji then remembered that because there were many people who defected from the Fan Realm recently, he went to Triangle City to ask for instructions on how to deal with it. In the past two days, he was in charge of the two cities. The confrontation on the front line has stabilized, and he did not interfere in daily affairs. He did not react for a while and was now the highest commander of the front line in this area.
Thinking of this period, Luo Ji suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility, and his face turned solemn, and said to Commander Tang: "What is going on? Tell me in detail. The Protectorate repeatedly emphasized that this winter's war is really insignificant, and the Tiandu Shannan Court, which attacked the thieves, is the top priority. We are just monitoring the thieves in the Xishou Military Supervision Department. We have to be subject to military law when we start a war without reason!"
The south is a big strategy, and everyone in the army knows it, but even the Dangxiang people on the opposite side know it, otherwise they would not have been so careless about the troops confronting the front line for other purposes.
Commander Tang said, "There have been people in our city keeping a close eye on the opposite pass. This morning, we found that the thieves there were all equipped with equipment and dressed in order, heading towards our own territory. Several of us commanders discussed that there might be a rebellion in the thieves. There was no time to dispatch troops from other places, so the thieves sent out the troops at the pass. The thieves were in a dangerous terrain and could not usually have much force stationed. We watched the thieves go out with three or four hundred people, so wouldn't it become an empty city? Although the Protectorate said that the south was in fact and the north was empty, it would be unreasonable to put an empty city in front of us.
Luo Ji didn't say anything for a moment, thinking about it. Of course, the big strategy cannot be violated. In fact, the total strength of the two cities is less than 2,000, and the troops are arranged in total. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to be the commander of the battalion as the city lord. But no matter how big the strategy is, it must be based on the premise of fighting between the two countries. In such a steep place, if you attack for a strong force, you will not know how many people will die, and you will have the opportunity to not attack now. Besides, the pass is a terrain that is beneficial to both sides. If you occupy it, wouldn't it be better than garrisoning the troops in these two cities? It is the same to defend after you capture the pass.
After weighing the pros and cons, Luo Ji said to Commander Tang: "The pass has really become an empty city? This matter is not small, and it is impossible to be careless!"
Commander Tang crossed his hands and said, "We all saw it with our own eyes, and we must not be wrong! If there is any mistake, I am willing to lead the military law!"
Luo Ji turned around and supported the city, looked at the pass on the mountain not far away, took a breath, and turned around and said decisively: "Military aircraft are fleeting! The thieves are so careless, it is a good opportunity that they would never have dreamed of. I'll do it! You go back to the city immediately, pass on our military orders, and ask all commanders to prepare to attack the pass! Also, remember to bring all the siege equipment and be ready to wait for me there!"
After saying that, he took his own military talisman, wrote a random military order, and handed it over to Commander Tang.
Commander Tang agreed with his hands and took the military talisman and walked quickly.
Luo Ji turned around and said to Liang Guancheng: "I will immediately order the troops and take our headquarters to command one and two capitals, and the remaining three capitals will be guarded by you. After I go, you will immediately send a fast horse to Triangle City and report to the Military Office!"
Liang Guancheng agreed to the promise, and Luo Ji would not delay any further and immediately went to the city to reorganize his army.
The two prefectures guarding the Xishou Military Supervisor Office exited the valley entrance, each city had two commanders, but they were not full. In addition, there were a few miscellaneous yamen, each city had a little more than one thousand people, and the real soldiers totaled more than one thousand,800.
When Luo Ji brought the soldiers from the city to the ancient city of Fengzhou City, the two commanders there had already gathered and stood on standby in the hollows in the city. They were standing troops ready for war at any time, and the assembly was very fast and the result of frequent drills.
Seeing Luo Ji coming, Commander Tang stepped forward and handed over the military talisman, and said with his hands: "City Lord, the soldiers and horses in this city are on standby!"
Luo Ji still kept the people of Sandu to defend the city, organized the two dissatisfied commanders into one command, and appointed the commander. He briefly told the reasons for the matter to several officers, and stopped talking nonsense, asking them to arrange it immediately and leave the city within half an hour.
In the pass not far away, several party soldiers lazily leaned against the wall and basked in the sun, complaining about the village leader's arrangements.
One said, "Go to get the thieves who steal horses. Those who followed the village leader out of the city have a good life. Those thieves have been making trouble for several months. How much money do they have in their hands? When taking the people, who knows if they can just hold some gold and silver?"
Another sighed: "No, just take a little bit, it will be better than a year of hard work for us! Alas, we who are powerless and powerless will never be the turn of such a good thing."
A man next to him sneered: "If you want to have such a good thing, you should expect to be a good child in the next life. All those who go out of the city to get thieves are Zhengjun. You are a bastard who doesn't even know who your father is, and you still want to learn to make a fortune!"
Dangxiang's illegitimate sons were all included in the negative army and were not allowed to be the official army. The man was poked in the sore spot and was about to get angry, but when he saw that the person who laughed at him was a man who was excluded from the official army and was forced to shut up. Although he was picked up by the official army for a while, it was not something he could compare to. When would he return to the ranks of the official army and take him over?
Catching horse thieves is a job to make a fortune. The army in the pass rushed to the front. At this time, only a group of Kuozhan and the village women were left here to guard the village. Anyway, knowing that the Song army would not attack the Xishou Military Supervisory Office, everyone did not think about what the other Song army would do.
At this moment, someone in the building on the wall of the village shouted: "It's broken, the Song army on the opposite side is attacking!"
