Chapter 925: Sending troops overnight
"Divide the Wei State equally?"
Guo Song sneered and said, "Let's talk about it specifically, what kind of deuce method?" ”
Wang Yu couldn't help but shake his head and said: "What the other party means is that they can give up Wei Prefecture to us, but if we want to give up Xiangzhou, they want Xiangzhou, Huaizhou, Weizhou, and Bozhou, and the rest of Wei territory will be recognized to Jin State, in addition, they promise not to interfere with the transit of salt ships." ”
"When he made this request, didn't that Zhao Changde have a little shame on his face?"
Wang Yu smiled: "I think they are just asking for a sky-high price, Xiangzhou is already under our control, they still want to go back?" They proposed Xiangzhou, just to keep Bozhou. ”
Guo Song walked to the map with his hands in his hands and asked, "Is their army still in Wei County now?" ”
"I heard Zhao Changde say just now that in order to show sincerity, their army has withdrawn to the south, and he doesn't know where to withdraw exactly, but it should be a scout news soon."
"Since Zhu Jun wants to bargain with us, I guess he won't withdraw too far, and he must still be in Weizhou."
"Your Highness..... Want to send troops? Wang Yu vaguely guessed Guo Song's thoughts.
Guo Song nodded slowly, "If you want to negotiate, I only have one request, Zhu Zhu's army will give me a complete withdrawal from Hebei, and it is estimated that they will not agree, then the battlefield will be clear!" ”
"What should I say to Zhao Changde?"
"If you stabilize him, you will say that I have gone to Qingzhang County, and I will not come back until tomorrow."
Wang Yu nodded, "I understand. ”
........
An hour later, Guo Song received information from the scouts that the camp of the Zhu Zhu army had withdrawn to Changle County, a hundred miles away.
Guo Song immediately sent an eagle letter to Shangdang, ordering Li Bing, who was stationed in Jincheng County, to lead an army of 30,000 to Huaizhou to the south, and to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop and capture Huaizhou and Liyang.
That night, Guo Song set off with 50,000 cavalry, he did not plan to attack the other party at night, the reason why the night attack on Li Na's army was successful was because Li Na had no tent and no camp fence, it was an open-air camp, of course, it was easy to attack.
Zhu Jun's camp is a large camp with a board wall, tall and strong, and there is no point in attacking at night, and it can't move the other party in the slightest.
The cavalry did not go fast, and at the third watch, the army dismounted and took a nap, and the next morning, 50,000 cavalry arrived ten miles north of Changle County.
At this time, Guo Song found that many people were supporting each other to go north, which made him a little strange, didn't the flow of refugees going north have ended, why did they come again?
At this time, the soldiers brought the two old men up, and the two old men heard that it was the King of Jin, so they quickly knelt down and bowed, Guo Song smiled slightly: "The two old men are exempt, where are you from?" Where is this going? ”
"Back to Your Highness, we are from Changle County, Zhu Jun drove us out of the county, and we have nowhere to go but to go to Zhaozhou to make a living."
Guo Song was stunned for a moment, and even asked: "How can I drive you out of the county, could it be that Zhu Zhu occupied the county seat?" ”
"It was in this way that their army entered the county seat and drove all the people out of the city, and even the county order was beaten out of the city by them."
Only then did Guo Song understand that Zhu Jun had no time to build a wall, and directly occupied the county seat as a military camp, but it was just ..... How many people will be driven out?
"How many people are there in your county?"
Another old man said: "There are about forty or fifty thousand people in our county, but most of them have gone to Zhaozhou before, and there are only a few thousand people left in the county, most of them are old and weak, and they are so far away from Zhaozhou, what can I do!" ”
It turned out that there were only a few thousand people left, Guo Song saw that the refugees on the road were basically old and weak, there were still about two hundred miles away from Qingzhang County, and the cavalry could arrive in two days, but these old and weak had to walk for at least seven or eight days, and there was no food on the road, so they had already frozen and starved to death.
Guo Song couldn't bear it in his heart, so he found Sima Lu Zhan and instructed him: "I will give you 3,000 cavalry, you escort these people to Yuancheng to settle, there are so many empty houses in Yuancheng, let Wang Changshi arrange for them to live, ensure that they eat and drink medicinal materials, in addition, set up two porridge relief and rest points on the way, each porridge relief point arranges hundreds of big tents, I don't want them to starve to death and freeze to death!" ”
Lu Zhan hugged his fists and said: "I will definitely do my best to settle them well!" ”
Guo Song asked Zhonglang to lead Yang Qing with 3,000 cavalry to follow Lu Zhan.
The two old men heard it clearly, the two of them were moved to tears, knelt down and kowtowed desperately, Guo Song asked his own soldiers to help them up, and comforted them a few words, and let Lu Zhan take them away.
Since he knew that Zhu Zhu occupied Changle County as a military camp, Guo Song was not in a hurry, and ordered the army to cut down trees nearby to build a camp, and he wanted to build a large camp with a board wall.
He immediately sent people to Qingzhang County and ordered Zhang Tuo, the commander who stayed behind, to lead an army of 20,000 to the south, and at the same time transported a large amount of logistics materials to Changle County.
.........
Guo Song led a large army to Changle County, where he was soon discovered by enemy spies, who immediately sent the information back to the county seat.
Changle County is a middle county, the population and the city are ranked third in Weizhou, second only to the capital Yuancheng County and Wei County, belong to the outer defense city of Yuancheng, the perimeter of the city wall is twenty miles, about two zhang high, built very strong.
When the first wave of refugees arose, most of the residents in the county fled to Qingzhang County, and only 30% of the population in the county was left, all of whom were old and weak women and children who did not want to toss.
But fate was never in their hands, they didn't want to toss it, Zhu Zhu directly occupied the county seat as a military camp, and drove the last six or seven thousand county residents out of the county seat.
The county town is also in chaos, the 80,000 army is indiscriminately indiscriminate, this people live more than a dozen people, that compound lives more than a dozen people, not as neat as the military camp, and the soldiers are rummaging through the cabinets, digging three feet into the ground, doing everything possible to search for money and food in the dwellings, their logic is very simple, copper coins are inconvenient to carry, and they can't carry them when they flee, so they will definitely be buried.
They really found a lot of grain and copper coins, but unfortunately they were all small money of Wei, after the destruction of Wei, these money could no longer be used, basically a pile of scrap copper.
Zhu Jun couldn't find a suitable place to live, he still lived in the royal tent, the big tent was in a school field in the center of the county, all the surrounding buildings were razed to the ground, and hundreds of guards surrounded his royal tent.
In the big tent, Zhu Zhu got the news of the spies, and found more than 50,000 Jin cavalry ten miles away, building a large camp, which made Zhu Zhu stunned, he only sent someone to negotiate the day before yesterday, why did the Jin army kill, could it be that the negotiation broke down? Or is it something else?
Zhu Jun hurriedly sent someone to find Liu Sigu, Liu Sigu had heard the news, which really made him very depressed, he had already reminded Zhu Zhu that while Guo Song had just occupied Yuancheng and had no time to take care of the opportunity of the Qin army, the army quickly withdrew back to Luoyang, but Zhu Zhu did not believe in evil, and sent people to negotiate, so that they missed the opportunity to withdraw the army.
Guo Song led the army south, making it clear that he didn't want to negotiate with them, and he wanted to fight a decisive battle with them, and he would not let them evacuate Hebei so easily.
But the lord called him, Liu Sigu had to come again, he had to come to the king's tent, Zhu Jun saw him enter the tent, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What does the other party mean?" Is it trying to put pressure on us to negotiate concessions? ”
Liu Sigu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Your Majesty, the negotiation is just our wishful thinking, Weichen said that Hebei is very important to Guo Song, and he will never let us control his salt road, so Weizhou will definitely not give it to us, I think he wants to unify the north of the Yellow River, so he will not let Bozhou and Huaizhou, and even Liyang County, we don't want to think about it." ”
Zhu Jun finally understood, his face suddenly became very ugly, and he snorted heavily: "The surname Guo is simply too arrogant, thinking that my interests can be deprived at will?" I will never give up Huaizhou and Weizhou to him. ”
Liu Sigu was secretly anxious in his heart, why didn't the lord understand?
He simply said bluntly: "Your Majesty, now it is not a question of whether we can keep Huaizhou and Weizhou, but a question of whether we can retreat with our whole body, Guo Songming is going to fight a protracted war with us, after the beginning of spring, the Yellow River thaws, how can we retreat to the south bank of the Yellow River?" ”
The expression on Zhu Jun's face froze, he really hadn't thought about fighting Guo Song to the death, and now he suddenly realized that I was afraid that a big war would be inevitable.
..........
Li Bing led an army of 30,000 troops stationed in Jincheng County, Zezhou, and he was waiting for the lord's order to cross the Taihang Mountains and attack Huaizhou at any time.
In fact, all the dangerous passes on the Taihang Mountain are controlled by the Jin army, the last Wei and Jin negotiations, Guo Song ceded Huaizhou, but the army of the dangerous pass did not withdraw, which can ensure that his army can cross the Taihang Mountain at any time and enter Huaizhou.
Li Bing still received an eagle letter from Guo Song, and the order contained only eight words, 'Seize Huaizhou and capture Liyang'.
That night, Li Bing led an army of 30,000 to kill Baicheng in Taihang Mountain, and from Baicheng through Taihang Mountain, he could directly reach Hanoi County, and Zhu Zhu's 5,000 troops guarding Huaizhou were stationed in Hanoi County.
