Chapter 182 went with General Ben to the Khitans
"Report to the commander, General Han Zhao led the vanguard army to break through the enemy's defense line, General Han shot the enemy general Jiang Xizhong in front of the formation, and the enemy army was defeated."
The 270,000 army led by Yue Fei was given to Han Zhao 70,000 as the vanguard army.
After attacking the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty, there was almost no resistance along the way, and the Northern Han generals along the way all surrendered.
There is no way, the little emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has spoken ruthlessly, those who surrender voluntarily are not considered prisoners, they can be directly absorbed, and those who are captured or surrendered during the battlefield or when the city is broken will be put into slavery.
The morale of the Great Zhou army was high, and the area of the Northern Han Dynasty was not large, and Taiyuan was located in the south of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Yue Fei felt ridiculous every time he looked at the map, the Linzhou Yang Ye that His Majesty valued the most was in the northernmost part of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Fuzhou of the Zhejia family was close to Linzhou and was also in the north.
No wonder His Majesty was able to give a strategy of directly attacking Taiyuan and then encircling Linzhou, it turned out that His Majesty had already calculated.
It's just that His Majesty said how powerful this golden sword Yang Ye is and how proficient he is in the art of war, which makes Yue Fei and Han Zhao a little eager to try.
If the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty transferred Yang Ye to the south to directly resist the Great Zhou army, it would not be easy to do.
It's not that Yue Fei and Han Zhao don't have the confidence to defeat Yang Ye, but that in that case, they won't be able to fulfill His Majesty's order.
His Majesty's order is to subdue Yang Ye and not to damage him in the slightest.
Regarding this issue, Han Zhao once discussed it with Yue Fei.
"Marshal, as far as the last general knows, this Yang Ye was not reused by Liu Jun in the Northern Han Dynasty, so he was sent to garrison Linzhou, why did His Majesty pay so much attention to him?"
Yue Fei smiled bitterly:
"Ben Shuai is also curious, don't hide it from General Han, when Your Majesty told me that you must subdue Yang Ye and not hurt him in the slightest, it was very serious, Ben Shuai believes that the person who can be so valued by His Majesty must have something extraordinary about him."
Han Zhao says:
"The last general used to be in Khitan, and I heard of Yang Ye's name, saying that this person has excellent martial arts and unparalleled archery skills, and if he has the opportunity, the last general really wants to ask him for advice."
Yue Fei also smiled:
"General Han set Gubei with three arrows, shot and killed the first warrior of Khitan, others don't look for you to compare arrows, you still want to find others to compare arrows, which shows General Han's competitive heart."
After the two finished talking, Han Zhao led the vanguard army to Pizhou, where he encountered Jiang Xizhong, the general of the Northern Han Dynasty.
The two armies faced each other, and this was also the first official battle since the Great Zhou army invaded the Northern Han Dynasty.
Jiang Xizhong, Jiang Jinwu father and son, are currently the most respected generals of the Northern Han Emperor Liu Jun, whether they can stop the Great Zhou army, Liu Jun bet all the treasures on the father and son.
There were also ministers in the Northern Han Dynasty who suggested that Yang Ye from Linzhou should be transferred to the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but unfortunately, Liu Jun did not accept it.
Jiang Jinwu once followed Hu Guirong as an envoy to the Great Zhou, and at that time he was ordered by Liu Jun to monitor Hu Guirong.
As a result, now Hu Guirong secretly fled to the Great Zhou with dozens of Northern Han people, and actually participated in the scientific expedition of the Great Zhou......
When the Great Zhou army invaded the Northern Han Dynasty, Jiang Xizhong originally wanted to surrender directly, and I heard that the little emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was still relatively good to the ministers and generals who took the initiative to surrender.
Jiang Jinwu was young and vigorous, and immediately persuaded his father, saying that even if our father and son wanted to surrender, we would have to fight with them a few times, let them know how powerful our father and son were, and then surrender, maybe the Great Zhou Emperor would reuse us.
Those who surrender directly will inevitably be looked down upon by the other side.
Jiang Xizhong adopted his son's suggestion, and when Han Zhao led his troops to attack, he chose to defend the city, and took the initiative to go out of the city to invite Han Zhao to fight.
Han Zhao had only just returned to the Great Zhou, and he was thinking about killing more enemies and making meritorious contributions, so that the Great Zhou Emperor would pay more attention to himself.
Those who surrender and surrender are not considered military merits, which makes Han Zhao very depressed, and he fought all the way, all of them took the initiative to surrender, which was too boring.
This time, instead of surrendering, the enemy general went out of the city to invite battle......
Of course, Han Zhao was going to fight.
Jiang Xizhong naturally heard of Han Zhao's name, and in order to show his ability, he deliberately humiliated Han Zhao before the battle.
"Han Zhao, you used to be a dog for the Khitans, but today you came to attack us for the Zhou State, this general is strange, what the hell are you a dog over there......"
Jiang Xizhong's humiliation of Han Zhao drew a burst of laughter from the Northern Han soldiers.
Han Zhao was not angry, and laughed at himself a few words:
"Han used to be a dog of the Khitans, even worse than a dog, but you are no better, and you are also a dog in front of the Khitans, today's Han is different, the Great Zhou Tianzi said, your country name insults the word 'Han', so you have to send troops to exterminate you, Jiang Xizhong, listen to Han's kind words and persuasion, open the city and surrender early, so as to save your soldiers from finally falling into a captured and slaved."
Jiang Xizhong laughed wildly:
"My Han Emperor is orthodox, Han Zhao, Jiang still advises you to surrender, be a slave with three surnames, otherwise, if Jiang Mousheng captures you for a while, you will definitely be better off than dead."
Han Zhao said solemnly:
"Since the words are not speculative, let's see the real chapter on the weapon, Jiang Xizhong, if you have any last words, hurry up and say, Han Mou will take Er's life today."
The two showed their weapons and opened their postures, and the ping-pong battle was in one place, and the sergeants on both sides beat drums to cheer for their generals.
Fighting, Han Zhao shot away Jiang Xizhong's attack, jumped out of the battle circle, and said again:
"Jiang Xizhong, Han remembered that your martial arts were not easy to come by, and I would like to advise you again, get off the horse and surrender quickly, Han will take the initiative to surrender, and maybe you can also protect your soldiers."
Jiang Xizhong laughed wildly:
"Han Zhao, even if Jiang Mou surrenders, he will never descend to you, if your marshal comes in person and begs Jiang Mou's father and son, maybe Jiang Mou will also consider it, Han Zhao, don't you have the ability to fix Gubei with three arrows, this general is going to take your life with arrows today."
This is really Lu Ban's big axe in front of the gate, the big knife in front of Guan Gong Temple, Han Zhao's archery skills, that is not inferior to Yue Fei.
As a result, the two of them set their horses two hundred paces apart, each with a bow and arrows, Jiang Xizhong had never seen Han Zhao's three arrows set Gubei's archery skills, and he always felt that he was exaggerated, and his archery skills were not as good as Yang Ye in the Northern Han Dynasty, but also belonged to the best.
If he could kill Han Zhao with one arrow, and then lead the army to surrender to Yue Fei, the little emperor of the Zhou State would not embarrass himself for the sake of a general......
It's a pity that Jiang Xizhong overestimated himself too much, and as soon as he shot an arrow, three fast arrows on the opposite side followed.
One arrow to the throat, one to the left chest, one to the forehead...... Jiang Xizhong fell from his horse at that time, and he couldn't die anymore.
Han Zhao waved his spear, and the Great Zhou army took advantage of the death of the Northern Han lord to attack the city gate, and Jiang Xizhong's son Jiang Jinwu only brought a few personal soldiers to fight desperately out of the siege.
"Han Zhao, the revenge of killing my father, I don't share the sky, this revenge will not be avenged, I, Jiang Jin, swear not to be a man, brothers, go to the Khitan people with this general, sooner or later, one day, we will kill again......"
Then, Jiang Jinwu saw the soldiers around him turn their horses and run away one by one.
"Jiang Jinwu, we have done our duty to protect you, please forgive us for not going to Khitan with you to be dogs......"
