Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 369: Flexible and adaptable!
Before the morning mist dissipated, Wang Baopu and two of his followers rode to the Song army camp.

The crooked flag with the word "Xu" on it in front of the gate was fluttering in the wind. After hearing the purpose of the visit, the gatekeeper lazily pointed inside.

Wang Baopu walked in the direction indicated by the soldiers and entered the central military tent, and after getting permission, he entered.

At this time, the three thousand generals of the Song army were gathering together for breakfast. Wang Baopu took a glance and saw mutton, beef, and wine, and the whole tent was filled with fragrance.

More than a dozen Song army generals were holding cattle and sheep bones and gnawing on them, while Xu Huai, who was sitting at the main seat, was sitting with his legs crossed and gnawing on a leg of lamb.

After listening to Wang Baopu's introduction, he chuckled: "The Six Su Men? Are they the six sour scholars wanted by the court?"

Greasy fingers poked at the manifesto on the table.

"I read the 'Exhortation to Punish Traitors' you wrote. It's full of flowery nonsense!"

There was laughter in the tent.

Wang Baopu clutched the map in his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "General, do you know that the Xixia Iron Harriers have crossed the Wuding River outside Suide City?
We are willing to present the Mizhi defense map."

"Bang!" The sheep bones hit the blue bricks.

Xu Huai suddenly stood up and grabbed Wang Baopu by the collar: "Are you a rebel and you dare to talk about defense?

You robbed the grain team of the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army before, causing me to be fined for half a year by the Privy Council! "

He picked up the horsewhip and whipped the scholar in the face, "I will teach him a lesson today on behalf of the court."

"No!" The accompanying old soldier named Han suddenly rushed forward to block the whip, and his back was instantly torn apart.

Another guard quickly responded and shouted: "When two armies are fighting, do not kill envoys! General, are you not afraid of disappointing the brothers in the border army?"

At this time, one of the Song army generals came up and grabbed Xu Huai, advising him: "General Xu, although Wang Baopu is a traitor, he was once the top scholar of our Song Dynasty. If you humiliate him too much, it will not look good in the court."

Xu Huai spat, sneered, and threw the whip to his personal guard: "Tie this poor guy to the flagpole at the camp gate and let him hang for two hours, so that the brothers who come and go can see the fate of the traitor!"

As the sun set, Wang Baopu, who had been untied, staggered back to the Jingsai military camp.

His moon-white shirt was stained with mud, and the whip marks on his left cheek were swollen and shiny, but he insisted on reporting the military situation first.

".Xu Huai said that the imperial court had sent the Huanqing Army to encircle us and asked us to tie ourselves up and plead guilty within three days."

His voice was hoarse but steady. "But the students noticed that the ruts on the grain transport carts in their camp were only three inches deep. They were clearly bluffing—"

"Enough!" Bi Taihua slammed the table and stood up, pounding the pestle in the pottery jar. "He's already beaten to such a state, and you're still analyzing the wheel tracks! Zheng Chaozong, take 500 cavalrymen and destroy that dog official's camp tonight!"

Zheng Chaozong held the hilt of the sword without saying a word, and looked at Su Yun who was looking at the map.

Han Youan silently handed a wet towel to Wang Baopu to wipe his face, but his hands were shaking so much that he spilled half a cup of tea.

“No problem.”

Wang Baopu gently pushed his classmate away and took out a complete topographic map from his arms.

"This is a detailed map of the mountain road from Suide to Mizhi. Xu Huai's troops are stationed at this pass."

Su Yun suddenly circled a certain valley with a cinnabar pen: "Haifu, has the Jingsai Army been reorganized? Can it fight?"

Zheng Chaozong quickly bowed and said, "Sir, everything is ready and we are ready to fight at any time!"

Su Yun nodded, turned around and stared at his disciple's swollen cheek, "Baopu, go to the clinic to apply medicine. This is a military order."

Everyone was stunned.

Bi Taihua said anxiously: "Then Xu Huai..."

"It's not just Xixia that wants to be both a wolf and a tiger."

Su Yun slammed the map heavily on the sand table, startling a few wooden cavalrymen.

"Inform all forts: Anyone entering the country with weapons, regardless of whether they are from Xia or Song, will be killed without mercy!"

Then Su Yun laughed and said, "Chao Zong, get ready. We will set out tonight and bring back Xu Huai's head tonight."

Zheng Chaozong and the others were all shocked. Zheng Chaozong asked, "Sir, are you going to do it yourself?"

Su Yun smiled and nodded, patting Wang Baopu on the shoulder. Wang Baopu groaned, and seeing Su Yun's concerned look, he quickly said, "Sir, it's okay. It's just that you've been tied up for so long and it's sore... Sir, the student is fine. Let's not affect our plan first."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Let's pick the soft persimmon first. The Song army has poor discipline and low morale. We can quickly defeat them by attacking their camp at night. This will solve the dilemma of being trapped in front and behind. It's not all for you."

In the twilight, Su Yun and Zheng Chaozong led their troops out of the camp quietly.

Wang Baopu leaned against the door frame of the clinic, looking at the smoke rising from the southwest.

Han Youan squatted beside him pounding medicine and suddenly whispered, "Did you see that? The master seems calm, but I know that he is actually very angry.

Hehe, I have never seen him like this. Even when Lu Dafang the dog thief labeled our Su Society as rebels, he never acted like this.

At that time, he just looked a little regretful, but this time, he was extremely angry, so he personally led the army to the battle. Ha, Shouzhen, the master really loves you. "

Wang Baopu touched the wound on his face, his expression a little turbulent, and said: "I will never be able to repay you for your kindness to me, but it doesn't matter, anyway, my life belongs to you, no matter how good you are to me, I dare not accept it, because if you need me, I can repay you with my life.

However, Jingning, the gentleman is not only like this to me, but also to you, Haifu and others.

If you were the one who went there today and were wronged, the teacher would stand up for you as well."

Han Youan thought about it after hearing this, then a look of emotion appeared on his face, and he smiled a little embarrassedly, saying: "This feeling is very strange. The teacher is actually the same age as us, but I just feel that the teacher gives me the feeling of a father.

No, my father died early, and he didn't give me the feeling of a father at all. But with Mr., I always feel that he is just like my dad. Don't you think it's strange?"

Wang Baopu slapped his thigh, then grinned and said, "I was always afraid that you would laugh at me, so I never said it out loud. In fact, I have the same feeling. It's really strange, hahahaha."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and in the distance the first cry of a night owl was heard.

The Jingsai army attacked the Song army camp at night.

Tonight is a good time to travel. The moonlight is like water, and the moonlight shines on the snow, so you can clearly see the road.

Su Yun took the lead, leading Zheng Chaozong and the warriors of the Jingsai Army, and approached the Song Army camp silently like a group of ghosts in the dark night.

The horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cloth, and the footsteps were extremely light. Everyone's breathing was controlled just right, for fear of making the slightest sound and alerting the Song army in the camp.

Su Yun looked at the Song army camp.

The lights were dim and most of the tents were asleep.

The soldiers on night duty were also listless. Some dozed off against their tents, while others gathered together and chatted in low voices, without a trace of vigilance at all.

Su Yun observed outside the camp for a while, and couldn't help but sneer. He said to Zheng Chaozong, "You should also take a look and learn a lesson. With such military discipline, there is no reason for us to be undefeated."

Zheng Chaozong had been paying close attention. He smiled when he heard this and said, "Sir, I will lead the charge."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Sir, please come. Today I want to chop off Xu Huai's head for Shou Zhen!
Everyone, follow me! After breaking through the gate, set fire everywhere to cause chaos in the camp, and then attack everywhere to prevent the enemy from gathering in groups. Do you understand?"

A commander smiled and replied, "General, don't worry, we have followed you in attacking camps many times, and we are very skilled at it!"

Su Yun smiled and pulled the reins suddenly. His mount immediately started to rush towards the Song army camp. This was like an order to act!
The soldiers of the Jingsai Army immediately rushed towards the tents quickly and orderly like arrows from a bow.

This commotion immediately attracted attention. The Song army sentinels shouted loudly, and then clanged the gongs wildly, and the whole camp suddenly became noisy.

Inside the tent, the candlelight flickered. Xu Huaizheng and several generals were drunk and snoring loudly.

Hearing the noise, Xu Huai opened his eyes in a daze. He was still a little confused when he opened his eyes, but the intense sound of the gong immediately made him drunk.

He hurriedly tried to get up, but his body refused to obey him. After he stood up, he fell to the ground again and shouted, "Everyone, get up! Someone is attacking the camp!"

But the other generals were also drunk. Some of them opened their eyes and tried to get up, but they staggered from side to side after getting up.

At this time, the Jingsai Army outside had already rushed to the front of the camp.

Dozens of riders in front galloped to the front of the camp and ran around it. When they just passed by the camp, dozens of flying claws flew out from among the dozens of knights.

The flying claws were hung on the barricades of the main camp, and then with a shocking sound, dozens of meters of barricades were pulled away!
Su Yun, holding a spear, led the charge and rushed in first.

At this time, the Song army in the camp ran out of the tents in panic, and many soldiers ran around like headless flies.

Some low-level generals wanted to organize resistance, but the attack of the Jingsai Army was too sudden and they had no time to react.

Most of the Song army soldiers were still in their pajamas, and their weapons were in disarray, making it impossible for them to form an effective resistance.

Su Yun led the soldiers of the Jingsai Army, rushing around in the camp, setting fires everywhere, as if they were in an empty space.

When he found that some Song army generals wanted to gather soldiers to resist, he rushed over and killed the generals and dispersed the Song army soldiers.

After this happened several times, the Song army soldiers were so frightened by the bravery of the Jingsai army that they dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.

Some of the more timid ones even knelt on the ground and raised their hands in surrender.

Su Yun ran around the camp, commanding the battle.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and every movement he made was clean and neat, without any delay.

Under his command, the morale of the Jingsai Army soldiers was greatly boosted and they fought more bravely.

And those generals of the Song army were even more vulnerable.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, they did not even think about organizing a resistance, but instead mounted their horses and ran away to escape.

Su Yun didn't care about them. He came here today to disintegrate the Song army, not to kill them all.

After a fierce battle, the resistance of the Song army was completely crushed.

Among the three thousand Song soldiers, some died, some were wounded, some were captured, and of course most of them ran away.

The Jingsai Army captured more than a thousand people. Su Yun nodded with satisfaction. These soldiers could be incorporated into his own team. If they continued fighting like this, the Jingsai Army would become stronger and stronger!

The sky gradually brightened, and Su Yun ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and the troops to be reorganized.

Suddenly Zheng Chaozong came to report, saying, "Sir, Xu Huai has been captured by us."

"Huh?" Su Yun was a little surprised when he heard that, and asked, "He didn't run away?"

Zheng Chaozong laughed and said, "They were so drunk that they couldn't run away. Xu Huai did get on a horse, but he fell off and broke his leg, and was caught by our people."

Su Yun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, so he, under the leadership of Zheng Chaozong, strode up to Xu Huai.

Xu Huai hugged his thigh and wailed. When he saw Su Yun coming over, he quickly shouted, "My lord, please get a doctor to heal my leg. It hurts so much. Ouch, ouch!"

Then there was a clang, and Su Yun's sword was already against his throat.

"You...who are you?"

Xu Huai felt the cold sharpness on his throat and his eyes widened in horror.

Su Yun smiled and said, "General Xu, do you know who I am?"

Xu Huai was not moved at all, but said in horror: "I surrender, I surrender, don't kill me!"

Su Yun lost interest when he saw Xu Huai being such a coward. He shook his head and said, "I am Su Yun, the traitor you are talking about. I have come here today to take your head and seek justice for my disciple Wang Baopu!"

Xu Huai's face turned pale in an instant. He wanted to struggle and resist, but Su Yun's sword was pressed tightly against his throat, making him dare not move at all.

"Please spare my life! We can talk it over!"

Xu Huai was so scared that he pissed himself and begged for mercy.

Su Yun snorted coldly, "When you humiliated my disciple, did you ever think that this day would come?"

Xu Huai said quickly: "Mr. Su, Mr. Su, I am willing to join the Su Society. If you accept me, the generals of the Song army will not fight to the death with you when they know about it. I can be your horse's bones!

As for Mr. Wang, I am willing to kowtow to him and admit my fault. I will definitely ask for his forgiveness, so don't worry."

Su Yun laughed when he heard this and said, "General Xu, you are so flexible and can bend and stretch!"

Hearing Su Yun's ridicule, Xu Huai didn't care at all. At the moment, as long as he could save his life, everything else was secondary.

Xu Huai said quickly: "Mr. Su, I heard that you are trying to persuade the various forts of the Suide Army to surrender. I can help you. I have some connections."

Su Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, any connections?"

Xu Huai said quickly: "The defender of Funing City, Lin Ze, the defender of Suiping Village, Gao Linchuan, and the defender of Qingjian City, Qiao Pei, are all my old comrades. As long as Mr. Su spares my life, I can act as a lobbyist and turn them over!"

Su Yun's expression changed slightly when he heard this. Funing City and Suiping Village were fine, as there were former members of the Jingsai Army inside, so it would be no problem to take them down.

But there is really no way to deal with Qingjian City, and Qingjian City is particularly important.

Qingjian County has steep mountains and is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

It has an important strategic position in military terms. It is located on the Yellow River in the east and surrounded by Qingjian River in the west. The Bell Tower and Guanshan Mountain stand tall in front and behind, making Yan'an a strategic location.

The so-called overlapping hills and mountains and the deep Xi Valley are blocked. On the left, you can bring in grain from Hedong, on the right, you can consolidate the power of Yan'an, and in the north you can control the desert land, thus standing as the center of Fuyan.

If we fail to take Qingjian City, then it will be a lot of trouble to take Yan'an Prefecture in the future. If we have Qingjian City in our hands, we can keep an eye on Yan'an Prefecture and go south at any time!

Su Yun thought about it and took back the sword. Then he put it into the scabbard with a clang. He turned to Zheng Chaozong and said, "Send the doctor to fix his bones. When we go back, hand him over to Shouzhen for treatment."

Hearing Su Yun's arrangement, Xu Huai breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his life was saved for the time being!
