Chapter 173: The first escape was successful
After Li Dao and Zhang Ji heard the words of the soldiers, they each left 3,000 soldiers and horses to clean up the battlefield under the city of Shaanxi.
Then he led his army and quickly rushed back to the place where the battle had begun.
When he arrived at the place where the battle had just begun, Li Wei saw that his soldiers and horses had not lost too much, and his hanging heart was relaxed.
In Li Dao's mind, his Xiliang soldiers are much more important than Emperor Han Xian.
Emperor Han Xian was in the hands of Li Dao and others for three years, and Li Dao felt that Emperor Han Xian had no other use except for the convenience of sealing officials.
And these Xiliang soldiers are different, it is precisely because of them that Li Dao has the current life of being a paper fan.
You will always be the one who knows you best.
Li Dao knew that he could not do anything, and the political aspect was even more of a mess.
He was able to mix in the current position, except for relying on these Xiliang soldiers, Li Dao had nothing to rely on.
Because of this, Li Dao was more interested in these Xiliang soldiers than Emperor Han Xian.
When Li Dao saw this result, he said to his lieutenant with satisfaction: "Good job, I'll go to the quartermaster to get a bounty of one hundred taels in a while." ”
The deputy general knew that he had lost Emperor Xian of Han, and originally thought that when Li Dao returned, he would inevitably be punished.
What I didn't expect was that there was no punishment, but I unexpectedly got a bounty of one hundred taels.
This one hundred taels is golden gold, enough to buy a half-acre house in Chang'an.
After Li Dao finished speaking, the deputy general's eyebrows fluttered and said: "Thank you for the reward, your subordinates will do their best for the lord, and then die." ”
After listening to the lieutenant general's words of loyalty, Li Wei looked up to the sky and laughed proudly.
Zhang Xiu saw that Li Ji was so unaware of the righteousness, and he couldn't help it in his heart, and just wanted to go forward to say a few words to Li Dao, but was pulled by his uncle Zhang Ji, and when he saw Zhang Ji's hint of shaking his head secretly, he had to give up.
After Li Dao was happy, he asked Zhang Jihe and Guo Yan, who went to chase Dong Cheng back: "Now that Emperor Han Xian is in the hands of Han Cheng, we will continue to pursue?" Or are you going back to Chang'an? ”
The reason why Li Dao asked such a thing was mainly because Yang Feng and others escorted Emperor Han Xian back to Luoyang, which made Li Dao feel deceived and extremely dissatisfied in his heart, so he led his troops to chase him.
But Han Chengcheng is different, Han Cheng did not deceive Li Dao, but only led troops to save Emperor Han Xian.
As for the purpose, Li Wei felt that Han Cheng was probably the same as himself, in order to seal a bigger official.
Li Dao doesn't need Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty anymore, because Li Dao is already the great Sima who is above the three dukes in the current dynasty, and there is no official who is bigger than Li Dao except for the emperor.
In fact, Li Dao's approach is like an old saying: "If you are stupid, you think that everyone in the world is a stupid fork just like yourself." ”
It was Li Wei who hesitated on the question of whether to pursue Han Cheng, so he questioned Guo Yan and Zhang Ji.
Guo Yan, who was brave and resourceful, replied without thinking: "Of course you have to catch up, Han Cheng killed so many of my soldiers, how can you let him go?" If you don't take revenge, the world still thinks that we Xiliang people can't beat the people of Bingzhou. ”
Guo Yan's last sentence aroused the courage in Li Wei's heart.
The people of Xiliang have been pressing and leaving, looking down on the people of Bingzhou.
If the news of the defeat of the Xiliang army by the Bingzhou army spreads, it will indeed discredit the Xiliang army for bravery.
Therefore, Li Dao's heart has gradually leaned towards the idea of sending troops to pursue.
When Guo Yan finished speaking, Li Wei looked at Zhang Ji on the side, as if to say, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhang Ji saw these two people, one was hesitant because he could not send troops, and the other only knew how to send troops to avenge personal revenge, and he didn't know the importance of the emperor at all.
sighed in his heart: "With these two goods, how can you make a difference?" ”
But he said: "I also think that we should send troops to pursue Emperor Han Xian." Although the current power of Emperor Han Xian is weak, Emperor Han Xian can justifiably appoint official positions, and it is better to hold them in his own hands. ”
Seeing that both of them agreed to send troops, Li Dao arranged: "Okay, then we will send a large army first to block the transportation arteries from Hongnong County into Zuo Fengyi and Hedong County, so as to prevent Han Cheng and them from going north and merging with the state."
Then each sent 10,000 troops to pursue Emperor Han Xian. This time, we must defeat the people of Bingzhou openly, so that everyone in the world knows the power of our Xiliang warriors. ”
When Zhang Ji heard Li Ji's words, he was disappointed in his heart.
"I have said it so clearly, but I only know the courage of the moment. Alas, sad. ”
......
Han Cheng and Fu Zhu's plan was to go south first, then east, and finally north, passing through Nanyang County, Yingchuan County, Henan County, and finally to Wen County in Hanoi County, and after arriving in Wen County, even if they returned to Bingzhou.
Because when Han Cheng was leaving, he ordered: Zhao Fu is the main general, Han Hao is the vanguard, and Geng Wu is the military advisor, leading 10,000 Fenwu troops to capture Wen County in Hanoi County to meet him.
However, in the process of Han Cheng rescuing Emperor Han Xian, in order to save Xu Huang, he exposed his strength in advance, so now Han Cheng can only take Emperor Han Xian and others to the direction of Luoyang in the east.
Just to simply reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
Because Li Dao and other Xiliang generals will definitely set up heavy troops in Zuo Fengyi and Hedong County, the road to the north and annexing the state, waiting for Han Cheng and others to throw themselves into the net.
The army of the Fenwu Army and the army of Yang Feng and others are different.
In the army of Yang Feng and others, there were the Yellow Turban Army, the Xiliang Army, the Imperial Court Army, etc., and the arms were chaotic and the system was chaotic.
If you go on a long journey, there will be a situation where the general orders the soldiers not to move, and the soldiers cannot find the general.
And the Xuanwu Army and the Tianlong Guards around Han Cheng who came this time are the elite of the elite of the Fenwu Army, not only can they do the order and prohibition, but also have a large number of war horses, and their actions are extremely convenient.
Even after a long journey, there is no chaos.
It was precisely because of such an advantage that Han Cheng and Fu Zhu set a route to return to the state.
Otherwise, he would have just returned to the state.
Although it has to be detoured, it is not the case that the Xiliang Army, which has been followed by a large number of 'full supplies' behind the buttocks.
Only by getting rid of the Xiliang Army for a period of time and replenishing food and forage in Nanyang County can there be the possibility of returning to the state.
So, Han Cheng let the army go east, posing as if he was going east to Luoyang.
Although the army in the Xiliang army did not move, Tanma has been following Han Cheng and the others, and always goes back to report the latest news.
The current Han Cheng is not afraid of revealing his whereabouts at all, because his army is really going east.
The army slowly marched eastward like this, and a day later, it arrived at Lushi County, and Han Cheng knew that he couldn't continue to walk, because if he continued to walk, he would really reach Luoyang.
Lushi County is an important place for transportation, to the south to Nanyang County, to the east to Luoyang, such a good place, after this village there is no such shop.
As if he had instructed in advance, Han Cheng said to Zhang Fan, the leader of his own soldiers: "It's time to do it." ”
After Zhang Fan replied with a 'no', he took hundreds of elite soldiers of the Tianlong Guard and went straight to the hiding place of the Xiliang Army Tanma behind him.
The Xiliang army saw that these hundred people were menacing, so they ran away, anyway, as long as the traces of the march were still there, and they waited for others to not die, they could find the direction in which Han Cheng's army left.
Han Cheng looked at the Tanma who was chased by the Heavenly Dragon Guards and went away, and asked at Fu Zhu, "Changshi, have you arranged everything?" ”
Fu Zhi replied confidently: "Don't worry, everything is arranged." ”
Han Cheng said with satisfaction: "Then start your performance." By the time the Xiliang army catches up, we will probably arrive at Dingling County in Yingchuan County. ”
With that, he turned around and walked towards the army.
Within a while, the ranks of the Fenwu Army split into two waves.
A wave of people went south and went straight to Wancheng in Nanyang County. Among this wave of people are Han Cheng, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and the Xuanwu Army;
And another wave of people went east, straight to Luoyang. This wave of people to the east, including the auxiliary soldiers of the Xuanwu Army and the soldiers of the Tianlong Guard, are all one person and two horses.
After an hour, the sky darkened slightly.
At the place where the Fenwu army separated, Li Dao and others led an army of 30,000 to arrive at a gallop.
Looking at the traces of the soldiers on the ground who were divided into two ways, Li Wei smiled and said, "Hehe, the little hairy child is playing with me?" Hum! When I played with the Eye of the Heart, you weren't born yet. ”
Then he ordered the army to go straight to Luoyang.
Zhang Ji also saw the traces left on the road, and asked Li Dao: "Brother Zhiran, why are we chasing directly to the east?" There are traces on the south side, too. ”
Li Ji looked like educating the younger generation, and said to Zhang Ji: "This is not simple. They were divided into two routes, and all the way were full of horseshoe prints; All the way, the wheel print and the horseshoe print are intertwined.
They came in such a hurry that there would have been no chariots, and thus there would have been no wheel prints. Therefore, there is no doubt that the wheel seal must be that of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
But now we are going south, obviously trying to divert the tiger from the mountain, to separate our forces, and then break them down, but fortunately I am a step ahead, otherwise we would have been defeated. ”
After listening to Li Ji's explanation, Zhang Ji could only silently give a thumbs up and said, "The analysis is really right." ”
But in his heart, he said fiercely: "You stupid fork, what are you analyzing?" This mark must have been left on purpose. ”
The Fenwu army, which was heading east, found a hidden place to hide when they were about to run to Luoyang.
After the Xiliang army passed, after resting for another hour, they went straight to Wancheng, Nanyang County.
And the Xiliang army chased to the city of Luoyang.
It wasn't until he heard the guards at the four city gates say that he had never seen it before, that Li Dao completely gave up, ordered the army to enter the city, and asked Tanma to go around to find out the traces of Han Cheng's army.
At this time, Han Cheng was on his way to Nanyang County, and sat in the carriage with Emperor Han Xian, sipping tea and chatting.
