Liang Jianyan

Chapter 17

The ancients said: A good attacker counts the crowd to attack the crowd, feeds to attack the food, prepares to attack the defense, and knows how to attack according to his strength.

Zuo Duo also knew these words, after all, he was familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and he knew all these ancient teachings by heart.However, when he was overwhelmed, his mind suddenly stopped turning. He only wanted to prove that he was not a fake soldier who talked in the vernacular, so he secretly took his [-] Zuojia troops and ran to Qisha Pass.

Hmph, Yan Chen, don't you look down on me?I'll knock down Qisha Pass and see how you still laugh at me!

In the desert at night, you can't see the yellow sand flying, but you can only faintly see the slightly dark dune undulations.Obviously the air is very dry, as if trying to suck people dry, but the temperature is freezing cold.Most of the members of the Zuo Family Army were from the Imperial Capital, and had never experienced the changing weather in the desert. It was obviously too hot when they walked here. Some soldiers even threw away a few pieces of clothing to speed up the march.Unexpectedly, at night, I was shivering from the cold.

At this time, Zuo Duo and his party could only find a place to rest first—it was inconvenient to march at night, and there were no good signs in the desert, so it was easy to lose their way.So Zuo Duo decided to rest here for the night and go to attack the Turks in the early hours of the morning.

The soldiers were really cold, so they lit a fire to keep warm.Zuo Duo sat in front of the fire, looking at the flames but was a little confused for a while—although he wanted to fight the Turks to prove his strength, but it was only in this desert that he felt that his heart was more than enough but his strength was not enough.The vast starry sky and boundlessness of this desert not only made his eyes lose their way, but also made his heart lose his way.

But now, I can't back down.Otherwise, how could they be worthy of the thousand Zuojia troops!

...Moreover, Yan Chen can't let Yan Chen look down on me.

Thinking of this, Zuo Duo sighed.He poked the fire with a stick, but felt something was wrong around him.

"...What is this sound?" He was wondering, but a soldier ran over shouting. "Lieutenant Zuo, the enemy, the enemy is attacking!"

"what?"

That sound... is the horn of the enemy army? ! !

Zuo Duo was taken aback, and warned himself not to panic.He forced himself to calm down and asked, "How many people are there in the enemy army?"

"I can't see clearly at night, but looking at this formation, there are at least 3 people."

"3 people?!"

Isn't there only 5000 Turks stationed at Qisha Pass? ! !

After a short silence, Zuo Duo turned around and said to Zuo's army: "Now that the enemy is attacking, my Zuo's army will never be afraid of them."

Soldiers, fight to the death, defend your home and country!

"Fight to the death, defend the home and the country!"

Hearing the shouts of all the soldiers, Zuo Duo felt a little confident—isn't it just a war?What are few people afraid of!If there are fewer people, we will kill ten, twenty, thirty by ourselves!Finally, kill the enemy without leaving a piece of armor!

However, he ignored that this was in the desert—the Zuo family army was already very tired, and they were not used to the light and low temperature at night. It didn't take long for them to be beaten into a mess by the Turks.

Slashing the knife to kill the enemy in front of him, Zuo Duo was surrounded by people.At this time, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't know where the main force of the Zuo family army was.He contended against the enemy with his own strength, but found himself pinned down by the enemy.

The group of Turkic soldiers seemed to know that he was the general of Great Liang, and they didn't intend to kill him, but just surrounded him layer by layer, waiting for him to submit.Zuo Duo glared at the enemies in front of him, he couldn't see their expressions clearly under the dark curtain, but he could still feel their triumphant smiles, and he was flustered with nausea.

Could it be that my military career is over like this?

At this moment, a raging fire suddenly appeared around - countless torches in the four directions of east, west, north, south, getting brighter and getting closer, surrounding this place.

Jueren yelled something Zuo Duo couldn't understand, and several people ran in the opposite direction.There are three left, wanting to capture him.He clenched his weapon, ready to strike back.Suddenly, he saw a black shadow falling behind the three of them, and a flash of blood, and the three of them screamed and fell to the ground.Before Zuo Duo could react, the black shadow grabbed his arm, "Let's go!"

"...Yan Chen?!!" At this moment, Zuo Duo managed to see the black man's face clearly through the moonlight, and he couldn't help being surprised.

How did you come?

"Now is not the time to talk nonsense!" He tugged Zuo Duo hard, "Come with me!"

He followed Yan Chen to a sand cave and jumped down together - there were quite a few Great Liang cavalrymen in this sand cave, as well as members of his Zuo family army.

This is? ! !

"Save you." Yan Chen found a place to sit down, "I have brought 1000 people with me, and I have already sent them to look for Zuo Family Army members everywhere."

"You only brought 1000 people?" Zuo Duo said, "How can you fight with tens of thousands of Turks with only 1000 people!"

"You still know this!" After hearing Zuo Duo's words, Yan Chen immediately became angry.He said that when you came to Qishaguan with a thousand Zuojia troops, did you never think about whether you could defeat tens of thousands of Turkic troops? ! !

He scolded Zuo Duo, Zuo Duo was also angry, he said that of course I had thought about it, that's why I thought about sneak attack at night!

"Sneak attack?" Yan Chen smiled disdainfully, and said that the temperature in the desert is extremely extreme at night, and it's hard to tell the direction. Can you succeed in a sneak attack?Even if the sneak attack is successful, the Turkic army will arrive immediately. What will we do then?

Besides, you are still lighting a fire in the desert, you are afraid that the Turks will not find you!

"Me!" Yan Chen's words made sense, which made Zuo Duo lose his theory all of a sudden.He held it back for a long time, and finally said, "I also want to defeat the Turks."

Yan Chen was too lazy to quarrel with him, so he took a cloth parcel and put it under his head, preparing to sleep.Zuo Duo saw him like this, although he was dissatisfied, he couldn't vent it.He sat next to Yan Chen and asked in a low voice: "Then what should we do now?"

"Sleep and wait for dawn."

"Then what if the Turkic soldiers find this place?"

"Don't worry." Yan Chen turned his head and glanced at Zuo Duo, "Thousands of camels are enough for those Turkic soldiers to play with."

"Camels?" Zuo Duo was stunned for a moment—could it be that those torches just now were all camels? ! !

"I won't use the main force to deal with these little guys." Slowly heaving a sigh of relief, Yan Chen said that I had already sent troops to sneak attack on the camp of the Turkic army along the long river, and when dawn came, our army would Attack the Turks.

After hearing what Yan Chen said, Zuo Duo's jaw almost dropped in shock——such a good plan, why didn't I think of it!

Sure enough, the impulse destroys people.

He began to look at Yan Chen with admiration.

They stayed in the sand cave until morning——Yan Chen told the soldiers to sleep and eat well, and prepare for the battle at dawn.When Zuo Duo woke up, he saw Yan Chen looking up at the mouth of Shadong, just as he was about to talk to Yan Chen, Young appeared.

"My lord!" The young man couldn't stop his excitement, and he shouted to Yan Chen who was standing in the sand cave: "The sneak attack was successful! The Turkic people's granaries and warehouses are all destroyed!"

Yan Chen showed joy, and hurriedly asked: "Did you attract the water?"

"It's attracted, and it charged [-] Turkic troops. Our infantry even attacked their fine cavalry and drowned their horses!"

Now our army is almost at Qisha Pass!

"Okay!" Turning to face the soldiers, Yan Chen said: "All generals obey orders and attack!"

In the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, on April [-]th, the army of Daliang attacked the Turkic army.The two armies fought at Qisha Pass, the Turks were defeated, and retreated two hundred miles, and Daliang regained the area of ​​Qisha Pass.

Liang Xuanliang looked at the battle report from the front line, smiling all over her face - after such a long time, she finally showed some Turkic color.

Is my Great Liang's land yours to touch? ! !

"This Yan Chen really has a way of fighting." Knowing that Yan Chen used the river to sneak attack the Turks and caused heavy damage to the enemy, Qi Zhaoyan was really impressed, "Your Majesty really has good eyesight, and he didn't see the wrong person."

Liang Xuanliang smiled, saying that my people are certainly not bad.He looked at the postman kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Apart from General Yang, is there anyone else who wrote the letter?"

"Return to Your Majesty, no."

"No?" Liang Xuanliang felt uncomfortable—Yan Junran, are you not willing to write a single word to me? ! !I haven't set you free yet, you're just looking after yourself!

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Liang Xuanliang picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper.

After a while, Naxin arrived at the military camp in the northwest—at this time, the army of Great Liang had already chased the Turks to Huzhou.This is an important town for Northwest commerce and trade. The Turks earn food and recruit soldiers here, fearing that they are preparing for a long-term confrontation with Great Liang.

In the military tent, Yang Heng was reading the letter from the emperor, when he saw the last few words, his expression changed.Seeing this, Yan Chen asked, "But something happened in Beijing?"

"Everything is fine in Beijing. It's just that His Majesty said..." Yang Heng put the letter in front of Yan Chen, pointing to the last few lines.When Yan Chen saw it, he immediately felt angry and funny.

[Yan Junjun is still young, I am afraid that he will act recklessly, so I ask him to report the war to me every month. 】

Yang Heng reported the war, so what should I report?This little emperor wants me to write to him, just say it straight, and he still keeps his face.

"Your Majesty's will can't be disobeyed." Yang Heng said, "From now on, you will write a memorial to His Majesty every month, and talk about the situation in the army."

"My minister obeys."

In the second month, Liang Xuanliang got his wish and saw Yan Chen's handwriting - he wrote him a memorial, mentioned some things in the army, and talked about the battle situation on the front line, and every word and every word was correct.Liang Xuanliang's anger is not going well again, and I want you to report the war, but you really didn't write a single digression, and you are deliberately angry with me!

He wanted to tear off the memorial in his hand, but he couldn't bear to destroy those fresh and elegant regular characters, so he had to write another letter - this time the letter was naturally for Yan Chen.

However, not long after, Great Liang and the Turks fought in Huzhou, and this battle lasted for four months.

In the past four months, Liang Xuanliang has not received a single letter from Yan Chen.

"Your Majesty, this is the battle report from the front line." Du Guanxuan put the memorial on the table.

"Ahem, is it an urgent report?"

"No."

"Take it away!" It rained a few days ago, and Liang Xuanliang was caught in the wind and cold, so he didn't want to approve the daily memorial.During this period of time, the military newspapers on the front line were all written by Yang Heng. After finishing his long speech, he was still in a stalemate between Huzhou and Turks, which really made him unable to stand it.

Du Guanxuan has followed Liang Xuanliang for so many years, so he naturally understands the emperor's mind - he has Yan Chen in his heart, and he has not heard from Yan Chen for a long time, so he is naturally irritable, and he doesn't even take good medicine.

"Your Majesty, the battle report from the front line is very important." He persuaded the emperor in a good voice, "You should take a look."

"...Bring it to me."

"Yes."

After taking the memorial from Du Guanxuan, Liang Xuanliang sighed—I really don't know how that person is doing now.

In my heart right now, there is a cloud of cloud, annoying.

But when he saw the familiar handwriting, the cloud in his heart disappeared in an instant - this was Yan Chen's handwriting.

[The war in the Northwest is urgent, and the stalemate with the Turks lasted for four months. There was no war, and the minister repented and blamed himself.Ten days ago, our army fought against the Turks to protect the state. It rained heavily and failed to win.However, the Zuo Xiaowei led his troops to break through the main force of the Turks.Taking advantage of this opportunity and pursuing the victory, we will surely defeat the Turks and recover Huzhou.Now that the army is damaged, supplies are urgently needed.Unfortunately, there is a drought in the northwest, the people are suffering, and they are unable to support the army.I implore your majesty to order it to levy food from wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.After more than a month, there will be another battle with the Turks and the protection of the state will return, so there is no need to worry about military supplies.Your Majesty, you must make a decision. 】

Liang Xuanliang stared at the words on it and looked again and again, her brows furrowed even deeper—Yan Chen finally wrote something to him, but it was actually for money?

Yan Junran, how careful are you, are you afraid that I will treat the soldiers on the front line badly? ! !

Throwing the memorial on the ground, Liang Xuanliang coughed even worse. He said to Du Guanxuan: "From now on, all the battle reports from the front will be handed over to Prime Minister Zuo, don't show them to me anymore!"

Du Guanxuan quickly replied yes, knelt on the ground to pick up the memorial, but suddenly found that there was a line of small characters on the inner seal of the memorial.He hurried forward with the booklet.Liang Xuanliang rubbed the center of her eyebrows, and said, didn't I tell you to show it to Prime Minister Zuo!

"Your Majesty, there are lines here!"

Liang Xuanliang really didn't want to raise her eyes, "You read it to me."

"Old slave obeys." Du Guanxuan whispered, "I heard that it's rainy and cold in Beijing, please remember to take care of yourself. Everything... hey!"

Before Du Guanxuan finished reading, Liang Xuanliang took the memorial back at once - he stared at a line of small characters on the inner cover.

[I heard that it is raining and cold in Beijing, please take care of yourself.All is well, don't read. 】

And remember to take care, all is well...

Do not read.

"This Yan Junran, who misses him!" Mingming said words of reprimand, but the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't stop.

Du Guanxuan was also very happy to see Liang Xuanliang's frowning.He said that although Counselor Yan was busy with the war, he still missed His Majesty in his heart.

"Hmph, who cares if he wants me or not!" Liang Xuanliang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You call the Minister of the Household Department Sun Yunju and the servant Qi Zhaoyan over immediately, and tell them that I want to discuss the military rations with them. By the way, send Hong Lu Si Qing called over, I want to prepare to worship the sky and pray for rain for the people in the northwest."

"Old slave obeys." Du Guanxuan said, "However, Your Majesty still needs to drink the medicine first, so that the dragon's body is healthy before he can handle political affairs."

"Yes, drink medicine and drink medicine!" Liang Xuanliang smiled and shook her head, saying that I must not let Junran underestimate me.

And remember to take care, all is well.
