Chapter 260 Who will kill the deer (twenty-three)
Chapter 260 Who will win the deer? (23)
The terrain in northern Zhongmu is very flat, and the Yellow River water has changed from the surging past and has become extremely gentle, flowing quietly like a quiet woman.
In order to test the water flow, a soldier threw a wooden stick into the river. In a blink of an eye, the wooden stick was rushed to the downstream by the water flow, floating in the water, and gradually merged into the distant part of the Yellow River, which could not distinguish between heaven and earth.
There were wisps of blood on the bank of the Yellow River, but there was no trace of the opponent's shadow on the surface of the river. The cool wind coming along the river gently blew Qian Xiangnan's clothes and goatee. He said silently: "This person's riding skills, wit and courage are both for the moment. If he dies like this, it would be a pity. This is also considered a jealousy of talent."
After a glance at Ye Zhiqiu, Qian Xiangnan realized the complex situation in Daliang City. He had no intention of returning to Zhongmu anymore and immediately returned to the lake with his men.
When Guo Jiong heard about this, he immediately issued an order to set off at the next day.
At noon, the Black Eagle Army arrived at Wangcheng Mountain, about ten miles outside Daliang City. Wangcheng Mountain is called Shan, but it is a large mound of soil. Standing on the top of Wangcheng Mountain, you can clearly see the outline of Daliang City. At the foot of Wangcheng Mountain, there is a gulp of spring water. This spring water gushes all year round and is extremely clear. It is called Qingshuiquan. Because of this mountain and spring, travelers like to rest here. After raising enough energy, they can reach Daliang City in one go.
Because of this, although Wangcheng Mountain is small, there are many stone tablets erected. Many literati have written poems on it, either passionate, sad, joyful, or melancholy. However, the most popular words are still passionate words, which are written by those who are eager to enter Daliang City to make achievements.
Guo Jiong and Qian Xiangnan read the inscription and climbed to the top of Wangcheng Mountain. Looking at the imperial capital vaguely in the mist, they were speechless.
Twenty cavalrymen were running towards Daliang City along the official road. A lot of dust was raised where the cavalry passed. From the top of Wangcheng Mountain, a strip of dust was like a long dragon dancing with teeth.
This is the cavalry team sent by the Black Eagle Army to Daliang City to convey the message.
The two were immersed in the thoughts of climbing high and looking into the distance. A sound of horse hooves came from the foot of the mountain, and then the sound of wailing up with the wind. Guo Jiong was extremely strict in governing the army. Hearing these noises, his face darkened and glared behind him.
The central army officer behind him was a powerful general who had fallen into the mountains and became a bandit. He was promoted by Guo Jiong. He had a thick appearance but was fine in his work. He was in charge of the central army in an orderly manner. He knew Guo Jiong's character very well. When he saw his eyes, he walked down the mountain with great strides.
Xuanhua came from the edge of the spring water. However, Xuanhua had been upgraded to a group of beatings. The Black Eagle soldiers had a large number of power and surrounded a group of soldiers and beat them hard. Both sides were restrained. Although they were all carrying swords, they just fisted fiercely. When the central officer walked towards the mountain and came to the edge of the spring water, most of the soldiers were beaten down, and there were a few particularly brave warriors who were still fighting with the Black Eagle soldiers.
Xiang Shanxing separated everyone casually. When he saw that the Black Eagle Army was not at a loss, he was secretly happy, but scolded him: "What are you making a fuss? Do you want to take a whip?"
When the Black Eagle Army soldiers saw the officer speaking, they immediately scattered aside. The group of blue-skinned soldiers got up from the ground one after another. The men were covered in dust and their military uniforms were old and mixed. They also had dish on their faces. They looked at the large and powerful Black Eagle Army with fierce faces, and did not show weakness.
Xiang Shanxing was scratched on his face while fighting with the Khitans in Hetao, leaving a long wound. The rolled wound made Xiang Shanxing, who was originally handsome, become quite fierce. He frowned and looked at the group of soldiers and thought to himself: "Can they be ordered to go to the Fengzhou army in Daliang City."
Xiang Shanxing felt suspicious, but he didn't show any sign of it. He asked in a deep voice: "Which family are you? It's so unruly. Why are you causing trouble here?"
This group of soldiers is the Fengzhou Army's vanguard team.
After the Northern Expedition ended, the camp in the southwest ended its mission. An imperial edict was sent, and Li Chongjin stayed in Fengzhou as the governor and continued to guard the southwest border for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Li Chongjin was originally a royal family. When he was in Daliang, he was once the commander of the guards. The guards were the main force of the imperial guards. At the peak of the war, nearly 100,000 people and horses were present, and his power was far greater than the other imperial guards' front office. As the saying goes, the imperial guards would decline. As the imperial guards were divided into six, Li Chongjin was sent out of Daliang to preside over the war in the southwest. After the war ended, Li Chongjin was left in Fengzhou and became a border town governor.
This means that Li Chongjin left the power center of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The series of actions to seize Li Chongjin's authority were secretly planned and implemented by Hou Dayong. However, it was not just Hou Dayong who really wanted to drive Li Chongjin away. Chai Rong did not want a powerful general from the bottom of his heart.
Li Chongjin is cold and arrogant, ruthless and ruthless. His men and horses also adhere to this kind of personality. They are extremely fierce on the battlefield and are usually arrogant and unreasonable. They never take other people seriously. They are also as powerful as the people in the garrison.
This time the imperial court dispatched troops to Daliang. The Hei Diao Army in Lingzhou, northwest and Fengzhou Army in Fengzhou in Fengzhou in the southwest received orders at the same time. Two teams rushed to Wangcheng Mountain outside Daliang City one after another. However, the Hei Diao Army was a little faster. When the Fengzhou Army vanguard team arrived at Wangcheng Mountain, the Hei Diao Army had already occupied Qingshuiquan.
Both teams were fighting on the border, and they all had a hot temper. They fought with disagreement. The Fengzhou army broke into the Black Diao Army to take action, and it was inevitable that they would suffer losses.
Hearing a sergeant of Fengzhou Army with nosebleeds, he said with his neck: "We are Fengzhou Army. We are ordered to enter Daliang City. I have walked thousands of miles to the foot of Wangcheng Mountain to drink some spring water. Is it still beaten by you? Is there any other king's law?" The sergeant was once a soldier in the guards. Li Chongjin came to Fengzhou from Daliang and brought two thousand elite imperial guards as his guards. This sergeant was one of them. He was a veteran and was always domineering. Although he was still confident in front of the officers in the Black Eagle Army, he refused to give in.
Xiang Shanxing heard the word "Laozi", and the wound on his face shook slightly. He suddenly took a step forward and swept his legs towards the commander of Fengzhou Army. He walked towards the mountain with his legs like the wind. Fengzhou Army came to avoid it and was kicked and lying on the ground for a long time. This man was very tough, stood up with his nose, held the hilt in his hand, and looked at Xiang Shanxing with his head tilted.
Xiangshanxing was unwilling to expand the situation and said coldly: "Get away from me."
The Fengzhou army had bruised noses and swollen faces, and there was no need to fill the spring water. Only the sergeant limped to the edge of the spring, leaned over the spring water and took a few sips, then took off the skin and filled it with the spring water. Then he tilted his head and stepped onto the war horse.
When the Fengzhou army team walked away, Xiangshanxing showed a faint smile on his face and said to himself: This tilted soldier is tough and very polite to me.
Shortly after the Fengzhou front team left, Guo Jiong and Qian Xiangnan also went down to the edge of the spring. The Black Eagle Army could not enter the city at this time. They had to wait until the "Publican" of the Privy Council's document arrived before entering Daliang City.
Guo Jiong had just sat down by the spring water, and the horse hooves were loud in the northeast direction. He looked back at the mountain and said, "It must be the Fengzhou army coming to provoke the army."
Sure enough, more than a thousand cavalry appeared in front of him, and the ten Fengzhou military flags were fluttering in the wind, and they were extremely powerful. A Fengzhou general stepped forward. His horse was extremely fast and rushed straight towards the Black Eagle Army formation.
The Black Eagle Army was organized into the fifth battalion with a commander in each battalion. Zhou Qing was the commander of the first battalion. He raised his horse and shouted, "Who is coming? Come forward again, don't blame the sword for being ruthless." An archer followed him, who had already put an arrow on the bow and was facing the general.
The horse rushed straight to Zhou Biao and suddenly strangled the war horse. The horse raised its legs high, and with a long sound, it almost touched the spear in the hands of the Black Eagle Army soldiers, and then stopped.
"I thought it was, it turned out to be the Black Eagle Army. No wonder it was so domineering." The general snorted coldly and said loudly: "The Black Eagle Army bullies people too much. Why do they monopolize Qingshuiquan and injure our soldiers? This matter must not be stopped."
The Black Eagle Army had actually finished resting and was about to set off, but when Guo Jiong saw the general coming, his face turned cold. This Fengzhou general was Zhao Wen, the elder brother of Zhao Wu, who was an old friend in Cangzhou.
Guo Jiong walked towards the mountain beside him: "Let the soldiers guard the edge of the spring water, and the Fengzhou army is not allowed to approach the spring water alone." Since joining the army in Cangzhou, Guo Jiong has followed Hou Dayong to fight south and north, and has been at a high position at a young age. No one except Hou Dayong convinced him. At this time, when he saw Zhao Wen's proud appearance, he couldn't help but the fire surged upwards.
Xiang Shanxing called "Haha, ha" immediately and said to Zhao Wen: "We have to say that we will come first and then come. If we eat and drink well, we will naturally give you the spring water."
Zhao Wen did not talk to Xiang Shanxing, his eyes had already stuck to Guo Jiong. Guo Jiong was the youngest deputy commander of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a senior general of the Great Zhou army. This made Zhao Wen, who was quite arrogant, both jealous and angry. He stared at Guo Jiong fiercely, then turned his eyes and said coldly to Xiang Shanxing: "I am Zhao Wen, deputy commander of the Fengzhou Army, let you lead the way to speak." After saying that, Zhao Wen held his head proudly and stopped looking at Shanxing.
Xiangshanxing said angrily: "If you want to see our commander, you are not qualified yet. If you have something, you will say it and let it go. I am too lazy to grind your teeth with you."
Zhao Wen's face turned pale and said, "Who are you? If you don't change the mountains and rivers, don't let me meet you in the future."
Xiang Shanxing smiled contemptuously and said, "I am an officer in the Black Eagle Army Xiang Shanxing. Remember my name and Xiang Shanxing." After saying this, Xiang Shanxing pointed at Zhao Wen and raised his voice and said, "Someone dares to break into the military camp and kill."
Zhao Wen came from a martial arts family in Cangzhou. He had great martial arts skills and became the commander of the Fengzhou Army. He became Li Chongjin's left arm and right arm. This time he entered Beijing, he was the deputy commander of the five thousand Fengzhou Army. At this time, he met a general of the Black Eagle Army more arrogant than the Fengzhou Army. He could only hide his anger in his stomach.
