Chapter 303: A Letter Unintentionally Inserted into a Willow

Chapter 303 A Letter Heartless Chā Liu

Li Jinglong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned that King Yan personally led a large army to rescue Yongping, and laughed at the sky: "Yan Zhizhi was stunned, and he actually went out to save Yongping, didn't he know that Beiping was his foundation?" Hahaha......"

Governor Qu Neng was also happy to be in sè, hurriedly went out of class, hugged his fists and saluted: "Guogong, the whole division of King Yan went to aid Yongping, this opportunity is extremely rare, the last general thinks that Guogong should immediately send a road to besiege Beiping, block the way for King Yan to return to the division, and then personally lead the army to Yongping, if you can trap King Yan in Yongping and win the battle, then it is naturally the best, if you can't, you can also make King Yan lead a group of remnants of soldiers to wander outside like a lonely ghost, and it is difficult to return home." ”

Li Jinglong changed and said: "It's ridiculous, Beiping is where King Yan must be saved, how can the division of troops be like a siege?" Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: ten are to encircle it, five to attack it, and to fight it if it is doubled, and if the enemy can divide it, if it is less, it can be defended, and if it is not, it can be avoided. Our army is now exactly ten times the enemy, and it should besiege Beiping, are you afraid that Yan will not come back? At that time, he can rectify it so much that he can't survive or die! ”

Qu Dudu couldn't cry or laugh, and explained helplessly: "Guogong, our army has 500,000 people, even if it divides the troops, how can it weaken the combat power of our army?" Even if half of the soldiers are divided, they will throw 250,000 people each, Guogong should not forget that there are 60,000 troops in Shanhaiguan in Yongping, so let's divide 250,000 troops to besiege Beiping, and the defenders in Beiping City are now only 10,000 people, 25 times more than the enemy, which is enough.

As for Yongping's side, Guogong waved 250,000 troops, and Yongping's 60,000 army should be combined with the outside, a total of 310,000 people, are you afraid that you can't defeat the 50,000 people of Yanwang? Even if he escapes, as Guogong said, Beiping is the place he must save, and then let's wave Beiping again, are we still afraid that this lost dog will not be able to avoid Jiāo Feng? ”

"If you don't make it, you can't make it ......"

Li Jinglong shook his head like a drum, and said with a triumphant smile: "King Yan poured his nest to save Yongping, I'm afraid he just wants to divide my troops, hey!" He wants to divide and attack, how can his duke fall for his tricks, the way of using soldiers, it is precisely to make the enemy unfathomable, so that he can be clever, how can his duke let him lead the nose? ”

Governor Li Wen listened to the words of this brother who was a family five hundred years ago, and couldn't help but stand up and say: "Beiping, I am the king, and the king of Yan is also the one I have." If the king of Yan dies in battle, Beiping is at his fingertips, the court is rebellious, it is the king of Yan, not the city of Beiping that can never run away, it is rare that the king of Yan comes out of the whole division, such a good opportunity, how can we miss it? ”

Li Jinglong laughed, pointed at him and said: "Li Dudu, you only know one of them, you don't know the other, if you say it, then the prince of the country can also say, Beiping, I am also, Yan Wang, also I am also." Beiping is here, Yan Wang Fang is Yan Wang, losing Beiping, Yan Wang is just a first-class Koer, what is the way? If Beiping is in hand, King Yan will naturally be at your fingertips. ”

Governor Chen Hui stood up and said: "Guogong, the last general thinks it is ......"

Li Jinglong slapped the handsome case and said in a loud voice: "Don't think about it, divide the troops, Geng Bingwen has divided the troops, what is the result?" Xiongxian first lost, and then lost Mozhou, and then lost all the games, and the turtle shrank back to wait for help in the city. If you have to make noise again, Geng Bingwen's defeat lies in the division of troops, so that King Yan took advantage of the situation and broke each one. The commander has made up his mind, immediately sent troops, and the soldiers were trapped in Beiping City. ”

The governor listened to Wei Wei and did not dare to say anything, Li Jinglong was full of spirits, and immediately ordered the army from all walks of life to march to Beiping, 500,000 troops, just command and dispatch, a battalion of battalions and battalions to pull out, it took a whole day, the army was vast dàngdàng, the front did not see the head, the back did not see the tail, left the Dezhou camp, and went straight to Beiping Mansion.

On the Lugou Bridge on the Yongding River, one hundred and forty pillars and six hundred and twenty-seven stone lions of different shapes quietly watched the imperial army continue to follow this stone bridge that was originally built in the reign of Jin Zhangzong.

Li Jinglong rode the bridge, whipped and pointed at Beiping City, and said with a triumphant smile: "Haha, this river is two hundred zhang wide, if the Yan army destroys this bridge, or uses the advantages of the soldiers and horses on the bridge to defend here, how can the prince of his country easily wave the army under the city of Beiping, it can be seen that the generals of the Yan army have no knowledge!" This is a good sign for the victory of our army! ”

Qu Neng, Li Wen, Chen Hui and several other governors could only look at each other and smile bitterly when they heard this, but they only felt that according to the dispatch of this prince, the time for exterminating Yan Rebellion would be extended in vain, and victory or defeat should not be questioned, and the balance of victory was not a little tilted to the side of King Yan, how could it be?

They were like the German troops who attacked Moscow in 1941, and the three armed forces were unanimously optimistic that they would be able to end the war before the harsh winter came. Victory must be theirs, it's just a matter of a few days before and a few days later......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

At the head of Yongping City, on the bloodstained city tower, there is a big flag of swallow characters. This city is back in the hands of King Yan, but there are not many officers and soldiers defending the city, only some wounded soldiers and veterans, staying just to clean up the battlefield, King Yan played his usual combat style: fight snakes to kill, send Buddha to the west, chase after Jiang Yiīn Hou Wu Gao's butt and kill to Shanhaiguan.

Wu Gao guarded Yongping for only a day and a half, although it was almost the same number of troops, they also occupied the geographical advantage, and they waited for work, but the Yan army knew that defeat was death, and only survival in death, so it was very decisive. The imperial army did not have such an awareness. Some of these 60,000 troops came from Liaodong, some from Shanhaiguan, and some from Jiangnan.

The middle and lower-level officers and non-commissioned officers either sympathized with King Yan, or worshiped King Yan, or were dissatisfied with the imperial court's suppression of martial arts and literature, or felt that Cao Guogong still had 500,000 troops in his hands, and they didn't need to fight to the death with Zhu Di, the desperate King of Yan, here, in short, none of them had the determination to fight to the death.

And what about the high-ranking generals? Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiang, was determined to defend the city and dragged the king of Yan to create an opportunity for Cao Guogong to bring troops to help; Yang Wen, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, built fortifications in the north of the city, gathered war horses, and was always ready to storm the enemy camp, break through the gap, and return to Shanhaiguan; As for the governor Geng Xuan, he wanted to find a place for his old son Geng Bingwen, and lined up in Dongcheng alone, gearing up to fight to the death with King Yan.

This is the case for senior generals, middle and lower rank officers and soldiers, how can this battle be fought? Fighting a defensive battle with slightly more troops than King Yan, this army only held out for a day and a half, and this was because of the effect of Geng Rong's 30,000 southern troops swearing to resist the iron cavalry of King Yan, as soon as Geng Rong's camp was broken through, it was like an invisible plague virus spreading, and the entire defending front began to collapse invariably, just like a snow-capped mountain blown by the chūn wind, the ice and snow melted, and they were defeated.

Fortunately, Wu Gao was steady, and arranged Yang Wen in Beicheng in advance, although this was also a factor that contributed to the defeat of the imperial army, but with their military morale, if they blindly defended or blindly stubbornly stumbled, I am afraid that they really fulfilled the wish of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and was made dumplings, becoming an outstanding example of a rare outnumbered soldier surrounding the soldiers and annihilating them all.

Now although the army was defeated, they kept at least half of the troops, Jiang yīn Hou Wu Gao and Liaodong general soldier Yang Wen led the iron cavalry all the way to Shanhaiguan, Yan Wang Zhu Di because he wanted to eat this powerful cavalry, in the rear of the desperate pursuit, the governor Geng Zhen took advantage of this, was able to escape, led him to bring out a group of remnants of the defeated general fled to Texas in a panic, halfway heard that Cao Guogong Li Jinglong had gone to Beiping, busy and turned the horse's head, and rushed to Beiping to complain.

Wu Gao and Yang Wen fled all the way, leaving behind countless grains and grasses, and even the tents of musical instruments and the cotton military uniforms that were brought out to prepare for the cold but had not been changed into because of the season had not yet arrived, all became the supplies of King Yan, if Li Jinglong really sent all the soldiers and horses to Yongping, even if King Yan could fight a victory in front of them, it would be too late to take these charcoal-like supplies calmly, but it was a pity that Li Jinglong did not do this.

As a result, he became the captain of the transportation brigade of Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

Zhu Di has been chasing to the bottom of the Shanhai Pass, in the face of this Xiongguan, but can not go further, the Shanhai Pass is majestic, how can it be easy to break, at this moment Li Jinglong has been trapped in Beiping City, he still has to return to the division in time, the southern army besieging the city to implement the sāo disturbance strategy, drag them under the Beiping City, until the harsh winter comes, must be immediately waved division.

However, the two generals of Shanhaiguan, Yang Wen is brave and unscrupulous, and Wu Gao, although he has the máo disease of cowardice before the battle, he is cautious and good at capturing fighters. Once he returns to the division, will Wu Gao, who is anxious to atone for his sins, send troops to drag him back and carry out anti-sāo disturbances?

Zhu Di hesitated and was unable to choose between them, and in the end, he was forced to decide to give up Shanhaiguan because his heart was in danger. Before leaving, Zhu Di repaired a letter and sent a xiǎo school to Shanhaiguan. Wu Gao didn't know what King Yan's intentions were, so he ordered someone to use a bamboo basket to bring the xiǎo school to the city, took out the letter and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that Zhu Di in the letter seemed to be destined to win only this battle, first boasted triumphantly about his own great martial arts, and then praised Wu Gao, praised him for his courage and strategy, and his demeanor as a general, how he appreciated him, and finally talked about Wu Gao's nv son, NV son-in-law, and expressed deep regret and anger at the tragic death of his brother Xiang Wang and brother and daughter-in-law Wu's **, and then wanted to recruit him for his own use.

Wu Gao was furious, tore up the letter, and blasted the xiǎo school out of Shanhaiguan, Zhu Di stopped fighting, pulled out the camp and went straight to Beiping. Seeing this, Yang Wen was suspicious, and hurriedly wrote down the secret of King Yan's surrender, and sent someone to Beijing.

"Discord Meter!"

Who would believe in such a stupid scheme?

Zhu Di didn't take this matter to heart, he just wanted to disgust Wu Gao, so that Wu Gao would spend his time and energy on explaining to the imperial court, so as not to come to him for trouble; Wu Gao didn't take this matter to heart, and the matter was only mentioned in the battle report describing the defeat of Yongping, and it was submitted to Jingshi.

But it is clear that they all overestimate the IQ of some people.

More than half a month later, Wu Gao had reorganized his troops and horses, prepared food and wages, and re-raised all his winter clothes. Although there are fewer soldiers and horses at this moment than the last expedition, after the last fiasco, the fierce morale of the Liaodong soldiers has been fully mobilized, and without Geng Xuan, the governor who always contradicts him, the whole army has unified orders, strict discipline, and a new fighting style.

Wu Gao was full of confidence, the banner of Wu was hunting and fluttering under the north wind that had been with a cold chill, Jiang yīn Marquis swore to the three armies, and was preparing to send troops to copy the road of Queen Yan again, and Zhu Yunwen's holy decree was sent to Shanhaiguan at an expedited speed of 800 miles: Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses were all under the jurisdiction of Yang Wen, the general army of Liaodong, and the position of Marquis of Wu Gao was reduced, and his military position was seized, and he was transferred to Guangxi.

A letter from King Yan easily folded a general of the imperial court.
