Chapter 350 Gao Kan
Zou Yu was looking at others, and at the same time, Gao Biaoren and Ren were also looking at him, seeing that Zou Yu's eyes only changed slightly, and then returned to normal, both of them nodded secretly in their hearts. Especially Gao Kan, from childhood to adulthood, everyone looks at him as a woman, or in his eyes, this greed is revealed, which makes him particularly sensitive to people's eyes. Zou Yu's eyes were clear with appreciation and admiration, which made his face tense all the time unsoothing slightly.
Since he is a person who understands martial arts, of course Zou Yu has to weigh it, Gao Biaoren's horse lance can only be said to be good, thinking about the inheritance of the Gao family, he should be a Confucian general. Gao Kan showed that it was completely inconsistent with his temperament, he looked weaker than Zou Yu, and a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, whether it was skill or strength, he actually took Zou Yu several sticks, although Zou Yu did not use all his strength, it can be seen that he is indeed not weak.
The two fought for twenty rounds and stopped, after all, it was just a trial, but after the trial, Gao Kan admired Zou Yu even more, after all, being able to rule such a large piece of territory, and the force was still so strong, which was very rare, because the Gao family did not come to work because of Zou Yu's strong force, but completely for the development of Jinyang.
Zou Yu is also very satisfied, two generals who are not weak in force, and not the kind of simple fierce generals, whether it is to guard the place, or to govern the place, can be used, at present, due to the large number of ethnic groups on the territory, so the simple civil official is a little inappropriate, this kind of civil and military can be the best.
Gao Biaoren is forty-six years old, with limited potential, but Gao Kan is different, twenty-four years old, it is when he is in the prime of life, except for some facial paralysis and taciturnity, there are no shortcomings. Gao Biaoren went directly to the secretary and supervisor, and Gao Kan went to the military department to serve as Langzhong first according to his official position, because the front was in the war, and there were a lot of things in the military department, which just let him get used to it.
Zou Yu was busy here, and he didn't forget to pay attention to the war in the Central Plains, Xiao Yu's side was beyond the reach of the whip, so he could only watch, Li Yuan beat Wang Shichong, but he didn't want to miss it, at least he would get a piece of the pie.
Speaking of which, he doesn't have any good impression of Wang Shichong, but he doesn't want Li Yuan to sit big, especially to win Luoyang! If Chang'an and Luoyang are connected, not to mention the increase in Li Yuan's power, there will be more checkpoints under his control, and Zou Yu can be blocked in the north. If you want to enter the customs again, you have to face all kinds of dangerous checkpoints.
Even if it is gunpowder artillery, it is not easy to break through in front of such a solid level, after all, solid bullets are not as powerful as imagined for the city wall. The level is narrow, and it is difficult to bury explosives, because it is clear at a glance whether it is day or night, otherwise you will dig a tunnel and enter it.
Fortunately, there is Dou Jiande as an ally, Dou Xianniang married Luo Cheng, although he is not Zou Yu, but he has a strong neighbor, Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou, as his in-laws, Dou Jiande is still very satisfied; found a daughter-in-law, still a princess, Luo Yi has nothing to dissatisfaction with; As for Luo Cheng, although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, after seeing people again, he was very satisfied, and everyone was very happy.
In order to support Dou Jiande, Zou Yu deliberately sold him a lot of weapons, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and steel-armed longbows, which suddenly made Dou Jiande, who lacked craftsmen, arm his subordinates, unlike before, with a lot of broken knives and wooden guns.
Woolen clothes, leather armor, for Dou Jiande, it was an unexpected surprise, he couldn't imagine that Zou Yu was even willing to sell these to him, a large amount of coal, transported from Youzhou, not to mention alleviating the cold of the people in Hebei in winter, at least it could make Dou Jiande's corporal more comfortable.
Of course, although Zou Yu supports Dou Jiande, he is not charitable, to say that Dou Jiande is there, there is really nothing for him to look down on, such a large transaction has almost emptied his treasury. Through Pei Shiju, he said that Dou Jiande was moved and 50,000 people were relocated to Youzhou, although they were all old and weak women and children, it also made Zou Yu very satisfied.
As long as Dou Jiande tastes the sweetness, in the face of better things in the future, he can't help but be blushing, and he wants it when the time comes? Sorry, in exchange for more population.
Wang Shichong was not surprised, but still asked Zou Yu and Dou Jiande for help, saying that as long as Zou Yu sent troops, he was willing to be a minister and recognize the orthodox status of the Jinyang court.
He obviously didn't want to give up the power in his hands, he just wanted to use an empty name in exchange for Zou Yu's rescue, for this kind of careful thinking, Zou Yu naturally understood, and lightly threw the letter aside, leaving Wang Shichong's uncle, Chen Wang Wang Qiong there.
Knowing that Zou Yu's men and horses were on an expedition against the Turks, and now they were allies, Dou Jiande was very relieved to bring 100,000 troops to rescue Wang Shichong.
Li Yuan crowned Li Shimin as the general of Tiance, allowed him to establish the Tiance Mansion, opened the palace with three divisions, led 150,000 troops, and attacked Wang Shichong; And Wang Shichong, no matter what you say, Luoyang is stationed with 100,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention that there are many counties and counties, according to the military comparison of Qi and Zheng, although Zheng is slightly weaker, but he wins in the local battle, and adopts a defensive position, there should have been a more tragic tug-of-war scene, but as soon as the war started, Wang Shichong's situation deteriorated rapidly, and the defenders of Zheng State surrendered without a fight. In June, Dengzhou fell; In July, Tian Zan descended to 25 states in the department, and Shi Derui descended to 7 states in the department; In August, the general Zhang Zhen surrendered to Zhou, Guo Qing surrendered to Guanzhou, Wei Lu surrendered to Xingyang, and Wang Yaohan surrendered to Bianzhou.
In just three months, Wang Shichong only had Luoyang and a few checkpoints left, which was not only an accident for Zou Yu, but also for everyone, who never imagined that he was so vulnerable.
Although on the grassland side, it was also a critical time, Zou Yu still had to send troops, otherwise even Tang would not have to drink.
To rescue Wang Shichong, Zou Yu personally went out, and there were not many generals with him, that is, the Fang family brothers, and Gao Kan, who had just arrived! Three thousand guards and five thousand cavalry can also be said to be the maximum force that can be used, after all, the rest of the people either have to guard the place, or they have to prepare for changes in the grassland.
To say that the grassland has not been calm in the past three months, and Li Jing continued to use troops after taking Dingxiang, but it is not so easy now, because the herdsmen on the grassland knew that there was a war, and they all fled and ran to the tooth tent of Jieli Khan.
The Turks were prepared, so naturally they were not so easy to fight, but there were three ways of men, and Jieli Khan thought that the biggest threat was the Murwei people, because the Murwei people sent the most troops and horses, and they took several tribes in one go.
Jieli Khan understood this truth, so he divided his troops to block Li Jing and Wei Chi Jingde, and then mobilized 100,000 cavalry, led by Jiabi Special Service Ashina and Simo, to attack Yelu Chu.
Yelu Chu fought smoothly, and gathered the tribes on the steppe all the way, and there were more and more people, and soon gathered 100,000 horses. When Ashina and Simo came, he was not afraid, but took the initiative to attack. There was a big battle between the two sides, and each had damage.
Ashina and Simo didn't expect that the Murwei people had gathered so many people, and they originally understood each other's strength, but Murwei changed a lot of weapons from Zou Yu, so Ashina and Simo didn't take advantage, and in desperation, they had to ask for help again.
His request for help interrupted Jieli Khan's plan, originally Jieli Khan had planned to go to defeat Li Jing in person, after all, he had a large number of men and could support him in fighting on multiple fronts, but as soon as Ashina and Simo asked for help, he had to divide his troops.
Originally, he worked hard to recruit nearly 400,000 horses to defend the royal court, 80,000 on the Yinshan side, Ashina and Simo took away 100,000, and there were 200,000 iron cavalry left, he was confident that he would defeat Li Jing, and now the Murwei people are attacking fiercely, and they must support again, this person must not be too little, if you want to defeat quickly, it is best to go to another 100,000 people! There were only 100,000 people left, and he didn't have the confidence to fight Li Jing.
With the help of the wide steppe guerrillas, this is the consistent method of the nomads to deal with the Central Plains, so Jieli Khan sent 50,000 people to delay Li Jing with guerrillas, on the other hand, to mobilize 100,000 troops again, to defeat Murowei Liwei with the momentum of thunder! He wants to tell everyone that traitors don't end well.
Ashina and Simo are very intelligent, although for so many years, Shibi Khan was afraid of him and did not give him military power, but because of this, he became good at thinking and had a lot of time to learn the culture of the Central Plains.
In the face of Yeluchu's Murwei coalition army, he was very simply defeated again and again, constantly luring the enemy deeper; At this time, Yelu Chu had been carried away by the victory, and with a group of coalition troops with high morale and shouting to overthrow the Turks and take charge of their own affairs, they rushed and fought fiercely.
Catching up with Ashina and Simo again, Yelu Chu excitedly led people to pounce, wanting to destroy him in one go. It just made him a little disappointed, this time Ashina and Simo did not retreat quickly, but resisted desperately.
Just after Yeluchu's whole army pounced, Ashina and his people did not retreat but advanced, dragging Yeluchu's people to death, and at this time, two iron cavalry appeared on the left and right of the battlefield.
When Yelu Chu saw the two iron cavalry appear, he couldn't help but change his complexion, he knew that he was defeated, thinking that he had betrayed the Turks, if it fell into the hands of Jieli Khan, it would definitely not end well, so he gritted his teeth and decided to fight, with his own personal guards, and personally rushed to the front line, wanting to kill Ashina and Simo, and then concentrate on breaking through.
Ashina and Simo Daxu stood on the small dirt slope on the grassland, facing the fierce enemy, standing still!
The tribal battle on the grassland, that is, the war of ethnic annihilation, so compared to the war with the Central Plains, it is more bloody, in the face of the Central Plains soldiers and horses, you can still surrender, in the face of other tribes on the grassland, you are either dead or reduced to slavery, there is no second way to choose, so although Yelu Chu is a coalition army, he is very desperate.
The battlefield of more than 200,000 people can be imagined how fierce it is, with cavalry shuttling, chasing after me, fighting within a radius of 30 miles.
Kill! Kill! Kill! This is the only thought on everyone's mind, including Yeluchu, but he is calmer, leading men and horses, constantly attacking opponents, and gathering as many cavalry as possible around him.
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and Yeluchu's people couldn't stand it anymore and began to flee, after all, they were all cavalry, although they were all chasing and fighting, the casualties were still very amazing.
"Woo! Whining! "Suddenly a desolate trumpet sounded in the steppe.
Ashina and Simo looked at Yelu Chu, who was close at hand, with an unwilling face, with a happy smile on their faces, and suddenly heard the sound of the horn, and couldn't help but change their faces, because he knew that he had no reinforcements in his own house, and if he was not his own person, he must be the enemy.
When he saw the red yellow battle flag, even if he couldn't read the words on it clearly, he knew that it was the army of the Central Plains, not to mention the tribes on the grassland, but no one had the luxury of using steel to make helmets for soldiers, and all of them were wearing iron armor.
With pale faces, Ashina and Simo felt like ashes in their hearts, and they didn't have time to think about why the Central Plains army appeared, and now there are people everywhere on the battlefield, and there is no large-scale organization, which is the biggest problem. Although many 10,000 troops are still chasing and killing the Murowei coalition army, but in the face of the army of the Central Plains, 10,000 people against 10,000 people, where is it possible to win.
The person who came was naturally Wei Chi Jingde, Xun Xiang and Wan Yan Lie, they were able to arrive in time, of course, it was not a coincidence, Liu Renliang's night was not closed, he had already figured out the terrain of the grassland, and also probed the march of the Turks, facing the army that went to defend the royal court, it would definitely be difficult for him to take the 30,000 people of the Yan tribe, even if he was defeated, he would almost die, so it was completely unnecessary.
Avoiding its edge, Yu Chi Jingde and Xun Xiangyi combined, and simply went to Yelu Chu to see if there was a chance to take advantage. The two rough people just wanted to go to Yeluchu to get a piece of the pie, but who knows, they accidentally found that the Turks were ambushing Yeluchu.
Then what else to say, you must do something, if you want to say that 30,000 is not afraid of more than 100,000, hehe, Wei Chi Jingde will ask you what are you afraid of? Coupled with a look like twins, the two of them didn't say a word, and immediately decided to do it!
This also shows that the night is not harvested, the Turks did not find them, and they have already discovered the Turks! Of course, this is also related to the Turks' carelessness, after all, this is their territory, and the army in the Central Plains is being dragged by others, not to mention that they want to ambush Yeluchu now, so they naturally can't let Yeluchu's Tanma find out, so the troops are withdrawn, even the scouts.
Three people, each leading 10,000 cavalry, formed a conical formation, and directly clashed with the Turks, like three sharp arrows, cutting the battlefield.
Unlike the Turks, they are equipped with the Three Treasures on horses, so the people who come are all good at opening bows left and right, and on galloping horses, relying on the range of longbows, it is a fierce shot against the Turks who are unprepared and lack command.
The Ya tribe has been following for a long time, and they are also accustomed to the tactical cooperation of the Central Plains, archers, shields, mutual cover, and concentrated archery on horseback, and the periphery is covered by cavalry with swords and shields, they are not heavy horses, but they have helmets, cuirasses, and the defense is not weak, the only drawback is that the Liaodong war horses are not tall, and the speed of the sprint is not good, but the endurance is full, which also allows them to have enough horsepower to chase and kill the enemy on the battlefield.
