The night was deep, but the starry sky was vast and the moonlight was bright.
On the barren wilderness, the northwest wind was still howling, the biting cold wind was blowing past, the Yongqiu defenders with bright armor were lined up neatly, and the generals of the leading team sat on a tall horse, condescendingly looking down at the hundreds of remnants of the embarrassed soldiers who were barely assembled under the orders of Yang Chaozong not far away, and the corners of his mouth provoked a contemptuous sneer.
Kong Sheng led the army to leave Suiyang and come to Yongqiu with great fanfare, which naturally attracted the attention of the Yongqiu Linghu Chao Department for a long time.
Although Ling Huchao didn't think that the team of five or six hundred people from Suiyang really dared to attack Yongqiu, after all, the Yongqiu guard force was weak because most of the troops were evacuated by the Great Yan puppet court, so he couldn't help but be vigilant enough against any changes in the surrounding military forces.
Therefore, Ling Huchao personally led a thousand troops and horses to leave Yongqiu and quietly came in the direction of Ningling.
In Ling Huchao's view, if the real intention of this Suiyang army is to retreat to the remnants of Yang Chaozong who are still breathing in Ningling, then his thousand troops are the yellow finches in ambush, and the snipe and clam are fighting for the yellow finches behind.
This inadvertently saved Yang Chaozong's life.
Yang Chaozong was very embarrassed at the moment, his armor was unloaded, his helmet was lost in the run, and the hand holding the spear was still trembling slightly because of the shock.
He looked up at Ling Huchao, who looked arrogant, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he still had to step forward to salute.
"Linghu General Yang is polite," Yang Chaozong bowed down and clenched his fists on the horse.
In the past, Ling Hu Chao was at most a colleague on an equal footing with Yang Chaozong, but now Yang Chaozong is a general of the defeated army and a dog who lost his home, and in the face of Ling Hu Chao, who has Yongqiu and thousands of soldiers and horses, he does not dare to have any arrogance and reserve.
The two were originally incompatible, and they had a disagreement.
This is the key factor that Yang Chaozong would rather nest in Ningling than take refuge in Yongqiu.
But the so-called people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, not to mention that Yang Chaozong has to take refuge in Linghu Chao at this time.
Ling Fox Chao laughed, and on the horse, he helped his beard and mocked indifferently: "It turned out to be really General Yang, where did General Yang come from, and who chased him so embarrassed?"
Yang Chaozong's face turned red, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak: "The last general was defeated and retreated to Ningling, and there were only hundreds of remnants left under his command.
Unexpectedly, Suiyang sent an army to raid Ningling, and when I was outnumbered, I had to lead the army to Yongqiu, which was also a subordinate of King Yan, and asked General Linghu to take it in, and Yang was very grateful. ” The corners of Ling Fox Chao's mouth twitched, but his voice was even more indifferent: "General Yang Ningling lost more than 10,000 people in the first battle, and there are only hundreds of remnants left under his command, I don't know how you can explain to King Yan."
Yang Chaozong gritted his teeth, held back the shame and indignation in his stomach, and continued to laugh and said: "General Linghu, Yang has already written to King Yan to ask for guilt.
But Yang's defeat of Ningling was actually not a fault of war, but " Before Yang Chaozong's words of self-justification were finished, he was unceremoniously interrupted by Ling Huchao: "Okay, General Yang, the Ningling fiasco shook Henan, and the King of Yan was furious, how can you shirk the responsibility in a few words, in the opinion of this official, it is better for you to go directly to Luoyang to ask King Yan for the guilt, and it is better to hide from the pursuit of Suiyang military horses everywhere like a lost dog."
Ling Fox Chao's words were very polite, and they could be called a kind of humiliation of Chiguoguo.
Moreover, as soon as he said this, he undoubtedly showed a clear attitude of refusing to take in Yang Chaozong.
Yang Chaozong was angry from his heart, raised his head and looked at Ling Huchao coldly, he couldn't control it anymore, and said indignantly: "Ling Huchao, you and I are colleagues, and we both work for King Yan, but now you are in the well and you will not be saved, and Yang will definitely visit you in front of the palace of King Yan in the future."
Ling Huchao sneered: "Yang Chaozong, you, the general of the defeated army and the criminal minister of the Great Yan, dare to be rude in front of the official in the past, and the official is not very sorry for himself, run away quickly, otherwise, Hugh blames the official for turning his face and ruthlessly, taking you down and sending you to Luoyang, and handing you over to the king of Yan for punishment."
The sword in Fox Chao's hand was unsheathed, and he raised his finger to Yang Chaozong, and his voice was fierce.
The afterglow of Yang Chaozong's eyes swept over the fierce and murderous formation of soldiers behind Ling Fox Chao, and the corners of his mouth were biting out traces of blood because of the clenching of his mouth, he snorted coldly with a hideous expression, turned his head and galloped in the opposite direction.
As he galloped away, the hundreds of remnants who had just caught their breath had to run after him with a bitter face.
Yang Chaozong didn't dare not go.
He knew that Ling Huchao was ruthless, and he could do what he said, if Ling Huchao really wanted to take down An Lushan who was going to curry favor with Luoyang, once he was escorted to Luoyang, he would definitely be a dead end.
For a general like him who was a descended general of the Tang army and a general of the defeated army, it was impossible for An Lushan's puppet Yan court to be half tolerant.
Ling Hu Chao sat on his horse and watched Yang Chaozong's hundreds of people flee in embarrassment in the night, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more intense.
Deputy General Yang Ning said softly behind his back with some doubts: "General, why don't you take Yang Chaozong down and send it to Luoyang to be handed over to King Yan for punishment."
Ling Fox Chao didn't look back, and his voice was cold and gradually dissipated in the cold wind: "What good is it for us to take down Yang Chaozong, although I have always hated this person, I don't care about falling into the well."
He suffered a fiasco in Ningling and lost his soldiers, and he was no longer allowed to be defeated by King Yan, and only these hundreds of remnants were left under his command, and in the end it was still a dead word.
Since he is going to die, why should I be this wicked man and bear this kind of infamy for hurting my colleagues."
"Besides, let him escape, drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and test the reality of the Suiyang military horse.
Although Yang Chaozong only has these hundreds of people, in order to save his life, he has to fight to the death, let them fight and lose both, I can wait and see what happens. ” Yang Ning couldn't help but bow in admiration and said: "The general is far-sighted, strategizing, and what he says is very true, and the general will admire it." ” Ling Huchao laughed, waved his hand on the horse, and said solemnly: "Pass my military order, don't return to Yongqiu for the time being, go to camp on the spot at the foot of the hillside in front, send scouts to listen around for news, once their two armies meet and have a conflict, come and report quickly."
Kong Sheng led 400 Suiyang cavalry to meet the retreating Li Biao and Li Hu's Modao cavalry on the way, and the two sides joined forces and returned to Baisha Whirlpool overnight to temporarily camp and rest.
By the time everything settled, it was already dawn.
Kong Sheng gathered at the head of the fortress to discuss matters, Li Biao and Li Hu beat the drum in their hearts, and followed the four people who were nervous and walked slowly behind the thunder jin, and they were greeted by Kong Sheng's cold eyes that were so angry that they almost wanted to breathe fire.
Li Biao and Li Hu secretly glanced at each other, knowing that this time they had caused a big disaster, Kong Sheng was furious, maybe he would really engage them in military law.
As soon as the two thought of this, they stepped forward together and bowed down: "Kong County's order, we disobey the military order, we know that we will not escape the blame, and please punish it severely."
The two of them fell to their knees on one knee, unable to bear their heads.
Kong Sheng took a deep breath and said coldly: "What is the responsibility of the two of you, Kong Mou" Li Biao said embarrassedly: "My generation doesn't dare" Kong Sheng looked around at everyone, and then stared at Li Biao and Li Hu who were worshipping in front of him, as well as the more than 100 Mo sword soldiers behind the two of them who looked complicated, and his voice became even more indifferent: "You are the elite of the Jiangbei army, and you are the protector of the Fengyang County Lord.
The two captains are also the generals under the command of His Royal Highness King Yu, how can they be driven by the small county order of Kong Moujie" Anyone could hear the unparalleled anger in Kong Sheng's voice, and more than a hundred Mo sword soldiers silently lowered their heads, but their hearts were at a loss.
They were ordered to go and chase down the remnants of Yang Chaozong's army all the way west, although they did not take Yang Chaozong, but they killed more than 100 people Listening to Kong Sheng's angry "counterwords", Li Biao and Li Hu whispered even more embarrassedly: "I also ask the Kong County Order to forgive the crime and wait for the strict orders of the county lord, and follow the Kong County Order to Suiyang since Pengcheng, since you are under the order of Kong County, how dare you disobey the order?"

"Since you keep claiming that you want to serve under Kong's account, then why do you unscrupulously disobey the military order of this official and the two of you order the two of you to lead the army to feint to attack Ningling, the purpose is to drive hundreds of Yang Chaozong's people to Baisha Vortex to wipe them out, but why do you ignore the military order, blindly chase after it, and drive it to the direction of Yongqiu?"
"This official's plan was destroyed by the two of you, this is still secondary, if it is because the lone army is deep and is besieged by the Yongqiu defenders, and the lives of these more than 100 brothers are lost, even if you two die, it will be difficult to forgive their sins."
Kong Sheng's voice suddenly became extremely high-pitched: "There is no joke in the army, military law is merciless Li Biao, Li Hu, you two disobey the military orders of this officer, if this official is not severely punished, how can you obey the public?"
"Someone, take down Li Biao and Li Hu, push them out, and behead them" As soon as Kong Sheng's voice fell, everyone was shocked.
Even Li Biao and Li Hu looked up at Kong Sheng in amazement, caught off guard.
Originally, in the eyes of everyone, Li Biao and Li Hu certainly had a disobedience trip, but after all, it did not cause a big disaster, Kong Sheng was at most slightly punished, and he would not move seriously, no one thought that Kong Sheng would be killed with one mouth More than 100 Mo sword soldiers were shocked, and immediately bowed down a large area, begging for mercy for Li Biao and Li Hu in unison.
Lei Tingjin stepped forward and persuaded: "Kong County's order, Li Biao and Li Hu's two lieutenants made an unintentional mistake, and they did not deliberately disobey orders.
At present, our army is employing people, and it is extremely unfavorable to kill the generals in battle, and I also ask Kong County to order the net to open up, spare the lives of the two people, and let them make meritorious contributions."
Kong Sheng stood tall and silent.
Nan Yong also came out to request: "Li Biao and Li Hu, the two captains, are eager to chase the thief, and they are also sincere in serving the country.
Thinking that they did not lose a single soldier or soldier, and also killed more than 100 thieves, they also asked Kong County to spare him not to die, so as to see the after-effects" "Please also ask Kong County to open the net, and we are willing to make meritorious contributions," more than 100 Mo sword soldiers shouted in unison, and they couldn't stand on the ground.
Kong Sheng's cold gaze swept over Li Biao and Li Hu, and then looked around at the Modao military man who worshipped the ground, his eyes flickered a little.
Of course, he didn't really want to kill Li Biao and Li Hu.
Li Biao and Li Hu are two fierce generals, and they are the real leaders of the Modao cavalry, if these two people are killed, this Modao army will inevitably be separated from themselves, and the gains outweigh the losses.
But military law is not child's play.
Kong Sheng is like a mirror in his heart, this Modao army is nominally under his command, but in fact, these Jiangbei army men are arrogant, if they are not serious, they will become unruly in the future, and become a chicken rib force that is difficult to drive. oshow7 t1706231537:
