Chapter 460: Jealousy
According to the combat habits of the Liang army, Sun Qi adopted a response strategy, using the terrain and fire to annihilate Qu Ze's 50,000 army.
This battle also left a strong mark in the future imperial history books.
After the annihilation of the Liang army, the main general Qu Ze died, and several commanders of the Huan army were excited, and at this time, the attitude towards Sun Qi also changed from faint suspicion at the beginning to complete convincing.
After returning to defend Tangguan, a commander of a thousand couldn't help but say: "General, our department has won a great victory in this battle, and the king will be overjoyed when he learns about it!" ”
"This battle is far from over, and there are more important military operations in the future." Sun Qi said calmly.
"This" the commander was puzzled: "Tangguan returned to the hands of our army, and annihilated 50,000 enemy troops, such a big victory, our department only needs to report it, what else needs to be done?" ”
Sun Qi said: "You say, what is the main force of the Liang Army doing now?" It is on the frontal battlefield, advancing and engaging General Xiang Ge. ”
"At this time, the news of Qu Ze's defeat has not yet reached Xue Wu, this is our rare fighter!"
After speaking, he immediately cut the railroad again:
"Everyone in the world thinks that with thousands of troops, in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, they will not dare to touch their edge."
"But I'll march!"
"Huh!?" Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
But Sun Qi didn't care, he decisively ordered, personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed day and night to the rear of the Liang army.
At this time, judging from the entire battle situation, Xue Wu's main force has advanced very deeply, and under his strategic arrangement, Tangguan's side should be synchronized with him.
But what he didn't expect was that Qu Ze's 50,000 army was defeated by thousands of Huan troops!
Another point is that the Liang army is fighting, and the supply line has always been very long, and the current transportation route is synchronized with Tangguan!
Sun Qi seized this opportunity!
Of course, he couldn't really attack the main force of the Liang army, but intended to cut off the other party's food and grass!
As a result, this blow was really unexpected, and it couldn't take away the grain and grass, so it set fire again and burned the rear of the Liang army cleanly!
After cutting the grain, Sun Qiyi didn't say a word, and turned around and went back to Tangguan directly.
From his various layouts and bold attacks, it is not difficult to see that he understands the situation of war and grasps the fighter plane.
If this is put on the general general, if he can hold the Tangguan, thank God, where do you dare to go around!
Qu Ze was defeated, the rear supplies were cut, and the news reached Xue Wu, who was furious after hearing it, and couldn't help but slap the handsome case:
"Rubbish! Qu Ze, this waste! With an army of 50,000, if you can't capture Tangguan, forget it! How to annihilate the whole army! ”
After scolding, he said angrily: "Who will be the Tangguan guard!" At this juncture, how dare you cut my back line!? ”
"According to reports, the name is Sun Qi." Seeing that he was annoyed, the lieutenant general was cautious.
"Sun Qi?" Xue Wu frowned, and said puzzledly: "Unheard of, where is the pawn?" ”
"This" adjutant general has never heard of it, where can he answer.
After a pause, he said: "But Xue Shuai, now that the supply is cut off, if we can't capture the city, it will be difficult for our army to handle food and grass." ”
Hearing this, Xue Wu finally took a deep breath, slowly calmed down, and said with a gloomy face:
"Take a step back and urge the next batch of grain and grass."
Without food and grass, there is no way to fight, and the Liang army has no choice but to temporarily retreat and give up the hundreds of miles of land that they are currently deep in.
All the previous achievements are also gone.
Xiang Ge took advantage of the situation to return to the front line of defense and rearranged.
Tangguan is no longer important.
Two days later, the news also came back to the Huan State court.
Hearing the battle report, King Huan's eyes immediately widened, and he couldn't help but stand up, and asked in a trembling voice:
"What did you say!? Sun Qi annihilated 50,000 enemy troops with 5,000 troops, and even took the initiative to attack, cutting off the supply of the Liang army, forcing Xue Wu to retreat more than 130 miles? ”
"Yes King!" The person who reported said.
"This, this, this is wonderful!" King Huan was excited, and said again and again: "It's incredible! It's incredible! How did he do it? ”
As a result, the Tangguan war report, in the Huan State court, was carefully studied.
After understanding the details, King Huan couldn't help but praise Sun Qi again, and at the same time couldn't help but say to Qiu Rong:
"The person recommended by the prime minister is really a military wizard!"
When Qiu Rong heard this, he was also happy, and immediately said: "Congratulations to the king, with this talent, with a small number of troops, the entire battle situation can be reversed, and the crisis of our country will be solved, and the country is fortunate." ”
"yes, yes." King Huan also sighed: "With Sun Qi's talent, being a small Tangguan guard is indeed condescending." ”
Qiu Rong took advantage of the situation and said: "Sun Qi's military talent is obvious to all, and he has already said that in the battle of Huanliang, our army can win, even so, the king should be entrusted with a heavy task to defeat Xue Wu!" ”
"Well, that's what this king wants." King Huan nodded, and then said: "Tangguan is no longer important, even if Sun Qi is ordered to return to the capital, this king wants to fight with him in the court, listen to him again, if his words are quite in line with the military strategy, then prepare a handsome talent." ”
Hearing this, Qiu Rong immediately shouted: "I am Wang Yingming"
The other ministers lowered their heads slightly and looked at each other, although there were many people who looked down on Sun Qi, but the facts of this battle were in front of them.
The royal order soon reached Tangguan, and after Sun Qi received the edict, he did not hesitate and immediately returned to the capital.
At this time, he was already ready to ask for a handsome.
At the same time, Xiang Ge naturally received a letter from a friend in the court, in which he said that Sun Qi was shining, and the king was afraid that he would have the heart to change his commander.
After watching it, you can imagine how ugly Xiang Ge's face was.
First of all, regardless of whether he has real materials or not, he has always been called a famous general of Huan State, and this head is pressed, if he is replaced by a nobody, I am afraid that he will be ashamed of himself.
More importantly, doesn't this tell the world that he Xiang Ge can't lead the troops!
Therefore, for him, the matter is unacceptable.
He held the letter and was speechless for a long time, his face cloudy.
Seeing this, a military officer who had been following him for many years asked tentatively: "Xiang Shuai, is something big wrong?" ”
There were only two of them in the hall.
Xiang Ge came back to his senses, first smiled bitterly, and then said: "Sir, this time, Ben Shuai is embarrassed, do you know what the letter says?" Saying that it is the king may have the meaning of changing the commander. ”
"What?" The official was shocked, and his face showed incomprehension: "This doesn't make sense, who else in my Huan army can compare with Xiang Shuai." ”
"It's Sun Qi." Xiang Gedao.
"This is the nobody who once said that Xiang Shuai's command was unfavorable?" The officer asked.
"Exactly."
"This, this, this matter, can't become a fact, Xiang Shuai, once this happens, the consequences are unimaginable, and Xiang Shuai will lose his prestige."
