Chapter 115: The Battle of the Trapped Beasts

"Guo Yuanjun is really a hero in the world, resourceful and powerful, with a series of eyes, sharp and decisive, I might as well too!" In the Shanyang Yatang, Zhao Kuangyin put away the military document sent by Guo Rong and handed it to Chen Sirang, and couldn't help sighing, with some admiration in his words.

"Oh?" Chen Sirang was slightly surprised, and took a quick browsing.

"That Huang Fu Hui is known as a famous general, Guo Yuanjun rode the enemy with 4,000 steps, not only defeated the enemy's 30,000 troops, but also captured Huang Fu Hui in the formation, and took the opportunity to go south and capture Qingliu Pass. Qingliu Pass, Chuzhou will be lost, Chuzhou will be lost, in the face of our army's front, the pseudo-Tang Dynasty will have no troops to support in a short time. If it weren't for something in Sizhou, he would have driven straight in, drank the Yangtze River, and looked at Jinling across the bank, and the pseudo-Tang monarchs would have been terrified! Zhao Kuangyin's tone was full of pity, and he sighed.

Of course, in addition to emotion, it is inevitable that there is some excitement. Guo Rong's dispatch, in addition to the battle situation on the front line of Chuzhou and the report on the defeat of Sizhou, was the military order to "capture Yangzhou", which was the reason why Zhao Kuangyin was most pleased.

received a battle report from Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Sirang to attack inside and outside, break the siege of the Tang army, and force Yao Feng back. Considering the situation in Huaidong, Guo Rong also saw the emptiness of the Southern Tang Dynasty along the river, so he decisively ordered Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Sirang to march with a new victory, and not to have a chance to breathe with Yao Fengjun.

As for Shanyang, Guo Rong sent another man to garrison, entrenched in Xuyi's Guo Tingwei, and he personally guarded the defense, so that he would not be troubled in the rear again, let them boldly go to fight in the rear, and take Yangzhou when they entered, and return to Shanyang. From Guo Rong's military orders, it can be seen that he is confident and decisive, and his sharp momentum is difficult to handle, and at the same time, Zhao Kuangyin vaguely felt a trace of anger.

"Guo Yuanjun is indeed a handsome man in the world, and his future life is terrifying! The Son of Heaven used him to use the scriptures to slightly pass Huaidong, how could it be useless! Chen Siran also sighed, looked at Zhao Kuangyin, who quickly calmed down after a little forgetfulness, and asked: "Since the military order is here, the old man has no reason to hesitate." For the southward advance, when did Zhao Yuanjun decide to move troops? ”

"Soldiers, you are fast! Chen Gong and I, each of whom can fight, will rest for one more night tonight and collect ships from the people. Set off early tomorrow morning, take a boat south, and drive straight to Gaoyou! Zhao Kuangyin said decisively.

According to the report, after the defeat, Yao Feng directly led the army and retreated to Gaoyou, which was more than 100 miles away...... Just from its movements, you can know its cowardice, and Zhao Kuangyin also plans to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared!

"Good!" Chen Sirang didn't talk much nonsense, and responded directly.

"Chen Gong's pride!" Zhao Kuangyin praised: "This drink of the Yangtze River, I will wait, try it first!" ”

......

When Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Sirang were planning to go south, Guo Rong, the envoy of Huaidong Jingluo, had already returned to Sizhou in the north. On the side of Qingliu Pass, with An Shouzhong rate of 500 soldiers to defend it, the Tang army fell into the stroke, he incorporated 3,000 soldiers as a military, and the rest sent a few military academies to Haozhou in batches, and handed over to Wang Pu, the governor of Haozhou.

Liangshan Han Village, the capital of Huai, is filled with the atmosphere of fighting in front of the wall, and thousands of Tang army corpses are left behind, which are being cleaned up by Han soldiers. Obviously, when Guo Rong went south, Duliang Cottage was also attacked by the Tang army.

A cadre stayed behind to command, welcomed Guo Rong's return, and congratulated him on his victory. However, Guo Rong's face is not good-looking, and he has always been calm, which is a little terrifying.

After sitting in the tent, Guo Rong looked at Shi Shouxin, who was guarding the village, and praised: "This time, in the face of Xuyi Tang Village, you are calm and calm, command well, protect our army from losing, and also attack the Tang army, do a good job!" The Son of Heaven deployed you to the command of the envoy, and told you to reuse you, if you really live up to the high expectations, you can shoulder a heavy responsibility! ”

Shi Shouxin, who is still young now, was a little pleased, and he was full of admiration. A few days ago, Liu Chengyou transferred a Longqi army to Guo Rong, and specially allocated Shi Shouxin's battalion to him, but it was the Shouchun camp, there were too many generals and colonels, and he wanted Shi Shouxin to follow Guo Rong to make contributions in the land of Huaisi. Sure enough, gold shines after all.

"It's a pity that when the Tang army attacked the camp north of the city, the last general was waiting in Huainan, and he didn't have time to respond for a while, and the Xu soldiers were defeated!" Shi Shouxin first examined himself.

Seeing this, Guo Rong waved his hand: "This is not a mistake, and I have done my duty to protect the cottage!" ”

"In addition, the Sizhou Huai Thief Water Division, the soldiers are divided into two routes, the army that has gone east has returned, and the army that has advanced westward has not returned!" Shi Shouxin and said.

Hearing the report, Guo Rong's brows immediately furrowed, and he looked at Shi Shouxin: "Tang Shi is going upstream, what is his goal?" ”

"The last general guessed, most likely, it was the vortex floating beam!" Shi Shouxin said solemnly.

"Command the sentry to ride west to investigate!"

When Guo Tingwei led the army to cross the border, he broke the city, killed the county order appointed by the Northern Han Dynasty, and looted all the money and grain in the city. Even if Guo Rongdang smashed the handsome case, his anger broke out for the first time.

Ziduliang looked at Xuyi City, looked at the water village on the north bank, and quietly made up his mind that he must break the water village first and destroy his water division, otherwise it will always be difficult to strictly prevent Guo Tingwei from leading the boat division to gallop on Huaishang. Previously, with the situation of all parties, the climate and Guo Tingwei's ability to control the army, it was not realized, this time Guo Rong planned to calm down and wrestle with Guo Tingwei.

Before he was done, the soldiers came to report, and Wu Ning Jiedu made Wu Xingde Shui come to the south, wanting to see Guo Rong.

"Bring him in!" Guo Rong replied casually. But soon, he calmed down and said, "That's it, I'll go to meet it myself!" ”

In front of the Han Village, the Wuning Army was full of embarrassment, with a gloomy expression, and the feet of the robe were wet. Beside him was Cheng Deqin, the deputy envoy of Jiedu.

Seeing Guo Rong personally out of the village to greet him, Wu and Cheng immediately bowed down: "The general of the defeated army, I am here to accuse you, please deal with it!" ”

Seeing this, Guo Rong hurriedly stepped forward to help Wu Xingde up, after all, it was Dazhou Fangzhen, even if the army was defeated and the army was mistaken, Guo Rong boasted that he couldn't afford such a big gift, even if he wanted to deal with it, it would not be his turn, and he needed to report to the Han Tianzi.

Introducing the two into the village, Wu Xingde's tone was still full of remorse, and he lamented: "It's all up to me to be unprepared, carelessly, I was taken advantage of by the Huai thieves, and more than half of the tired soldiers were killed or wounded." If it weren't for the proper use of the army and the retreat of the enemy's reinforcements, otherwise the evil consequences would hurt the overall situation, and I would not have atoned for his sins with a hundred deaths! ”

It can be seen that Wu Xingde still has a certain understanding of his defeats, and even from his voice, he can feel a trace of panic.

Seeing this, Guo Rong sighed slightly, in the spring of last year, when he was appointed as the Xuzhou inspection envoy, he had dealings with this envoy. In Guo Rong's view, although this gentleman was also born in the army, he suddenly reached a high position, and he did not get carried away, and among the many wolf-like towns in the world, it is rare to be able to maintain a "benevolence".

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, so you don't have to blame yourself too much!" Guo Rong opened his mouth and said with relief: "This matter is also my lack of thought, and the arrangement is omission. The king is new, and he does not know the enemy's situation, but he is defeated. Since then, we have worked together to fight against Guo Tingwei and remove Xuyi's backstab to redeem the past! ”

Listening to Guo Rong's words, Wu Xingde immediately bowed his hand and said: "There are still nearly 4,000 soldiers in Xuzhou in Linhuai, and they have listened to the dispatch of the envoys!" ”

When Guo Rong returned to the camp, Guo Tingwei, who had made repeated attacks in Xuyi City and achieved results, returned to the state office. Sitting in the hall, with the same anger on his face, he stared at a Tang army general kneeling in the hall, and reprimanded him sharply: "Before I set off, I told me several times, just hold the city steadily, don't go to war, and wait for me to return." Who let Er and the others make their own decisions and attack Duliang Mountain in the south? ”

Facing Guo Tingwei's questioning, General Pi was a little nervous, and replied in a low voice: "The Han army in the north of the city was defeated, and the last general and others also found out, there are only 2,000 soldiers in Duliangshan, and the rest are some people. I'm thinking if I can take advantage of the weakness to win ......"

"The result?" Guo Tingwei directly interrupted him and coldly reprimanded: "Losing more than 1,000 soldiers hurts my morale!" ”

Guo Tingwei had no hope for the situation of the two reinforcements, especially when Guo Rong's army turned back. It can be guessed that in the next time, Sizhou Xuyi will be alone again. In such a predicament, every soldier and every soldier is precious to Guo Tingwei and must be saved. As a result, he lost thousands of soldiers in the first battle by this horseman.

"Attack without authorization, go against my military orders, there is no reason to forgive, pull down and behead!" Without the slightest meaning of empathy, Guo Tingwei ordered directly.

Guo Tingwei's subordinates, without the slightest hesitation, ignored his struggle and begged for mercy, pulled it out, raised his knife and fell, and killed Liwei. The Tang Army generals and colonels present were all awe-inspiring.

"Let's all go down and reorganize the army!" Taking a deep breath, Guo Tingwei ordered: "Move the captured food and armor to the city and distribute it!" ”

Later, Guo Tingwei got a report that the partial division that had attacked the vortex in the west had returned and had gained a lot......

It didn't take too long, Guo Rong also received a military report, from Haozhou Wang Pu to transfer an urgent report, a Tang division westward, raided the vortex, the defenders were unprepared, was captured, the vortex mouth floating beam was destroyed, in the meantime 70,000 stone grain and all kinds of baggage, nearly half of the damage.

In this regard, Guo Rong suddenly came up with sorrow, and sighed at the cold on a spring night. After thinking about it for a long time, he put pen to paper, personally put the battle situation on the Huaidong side, nothing in detail, wrote it into a book, and sent someone to fly west overnight to report to the Shouchun camp.

There are some things that have to be reported to the emperor. However, as far as Guo Rong is concerned, there is nothing to worry about, the Huai Eastern Han Army he led is already a meritorious achievement, and Guo Tingwei is no longer making trouble, but it is just a battle of trapped beasts and a dying struggle.
